FORT MYERS, Fla., Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alico, Inc. (“Alico”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: ALCO) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2026.
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.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company reported net income (loss) attributable to Alico common stockholders of $2.1 million and $(18.3) million, respectively. The shift from a net loss to net income attributable to Alico common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was principally the result of the Company’s Strategic Transformation, including the resulting acceleration of depreciation on its citrus trees during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and increased lease income as a result of the Company’s share of crop insurance payments received by one of its lessees during the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had earnings of $0.29 per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $(2.39) per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had EBITDA of $4.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million and $19.3 million, respectively.
These quarterly financial results reflect the evolving nature of the Company’s business as it executes its strategic transformation. Historically, the Company was primarily engaged in citrus production and sales, which created significant seasonal patterns with the first and second quarters typically generating most annual revenue and higher working capital requirements in the third and fourth quarters coinciding with harvesting cycles. As part of the Company’s strategic transformation, the Company has made the decision to wind down its citrus operations and focus on land sales, land leasing, and land development activities. The Company completed its last significant citrus harvest in April 2025. While the Company expects the historical seasonal patterns to diminish over time as this transition progresses, the Company’s financial results may continue to reflect some seasonality during the wind-down period. Additionally, the Company’s new focus on land sales, leasing, and development may introduce different timing patterns for revenue recognition based on transaction closings and development project milestones. Given this business transformation, results for any quarter may not be indicative of results for the full year, and historical seasonal patterns may not be predictive of future quarterly performance as the Company completes the transition to its new business model.
Other Corporate Financial Information
General and administrative expense decreased 21.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower employee expenses and insurance premiums.
General and administrative expense decreased 3.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower depreciation expense, partially offset by an increase in contract labor costs and a provision for credit losses on certain citrus receivables.
Dividend
On July 16, 2026, the Company paid a third quarter cash dividend of $0.05 per share on its outstanding common stock to stockholders of record as of July 2, 2026.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company continues to demonstrate financial strength within its balance sheet, as highlighted below:
- The Company’s working capital was $50.6 million at June 30, 2026, representing a 7.96 to 1.00 current ratio.
- Total debt was $85.4 million and net debt was $29.8 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $85.5 million and $47.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2025.
- Available borrowings under the Company’s line of credit were approximately $92.5 million at June 30, 2026.
- The Company’s Minimum Liquidity Requirement under its Credit Agreement was $5.8 million at June 30, 2026.
Real Estate and Land Development
In June 2026, Alico acquired the remaining 49% ownership interest in Citree, a joint venture through which the Company held a 51% interest in approximately 1,200 acres of land in DeSoto County, for $2.0 million in cash, plus potential contingent consideration and the assumption of all of Citree’s approximately $3.3 million of outstanding debt. Following the transaction, Alico owns 100% of the entity and its underlying acreage. The Company believes this transaction simplifies its corporate structure and gives it full ownership and control over the future use of this property, consistent with its broader strategy of streamlining the business.
In January 2025, Alico sought legislative approval from the Florida Legislature to establish the Corkscrew Grove Stewardship District. Stewardship districts are independent special districts authorized to plan, finance, construct, operate and maintain public infrastructure in planned developments, operating on the principle that growth pays for itself. Similar districts are used in communities like Ave Maria and Lakewood Ranch.
In March 2025, the Company announced the creation of Corkscrew Grove Villages located on approximately 4,660 acres at the northwest corner of Collier County on the border of Lee and Hendry counties. These two master planned developments are expected to comply with the County’s 1,500- acre cap for Villages, and be accompanied by more than 6,000 acres of permanent conservation areas. The plan for these villages is to feature approximately 9,000 homes, including approximately 750 affordable housing units total for essential workers, and approximately 480,000 square feet of commercial space offering retail, dining, office, and medical uses. The East Village includes an additional 100,000 square feet for indoor self-storage and a minimum of 45,000 square feet of civic uses, and the West Village may include similar additional uses depending on County requirements and future site planning.
Alico launched its multi-year entitlement process for Corkscrew Grove Villages by submitting an application to Collier County for local approval for the first of the two villages, the East Village. The Company has also submitted permits to the South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for both villages.
In April 2026, Alico received final local entitlement approvals from the Collier County Board of County Commissioners for the East Village component of Corkscrew Grove Villages. This advances the project toward obtaining the required federal permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the state permits from the South Florida Water Management District. Construction on the first village could begin in 2028 or 2029 if all approvals are granted.
Alico maintains a strong commitment to regional conservation, having transferred lands over the past 40 years that became part of the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW), Tiger Creek Preserve and Okaloacoochee Slough Wildlife Management Area. In 2023, Alico sold more than 17,000 acres of land from central Hendry County, commonly referred to as Devil’s Garden, to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as part of the Florida Forever program. Since Devil’s Garden was added to the Florida Forever Priority List in 2002, Alico has sold or entered easements to protect more than 46,800 acres within the project boundaries. Combined with the more than 6,000 acres expected to be placed in conservation as part of the Corkscrew Grove Villages proposal, these efforts support the implementation of the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
The plan for Corkscrew Grove Villages aligns with the Collier Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) program, an innovative, incentive-based approach to sustainable rural growth that has received national recognition. The villages will enhance public infrastructure and provide significant economic benefit to the region at no additional cost to taxpayers.
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The Company raises its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to approximately $15 million in fiscal year 2026. The Company now expects to end the fiscal year with cash of approximately $48 million and net debt of approximately $37 million, with only the minimum required balance of $2.5 million on its revolving line of credit. In the event that any additional capital is returned to shareholders through increased common dividends, special dividends, tender offers or open market share repurchases during the 2026 fiscal year, the Company’s cash balance could be reduced and net debt could be correspondingly increased.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the measurements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Alico utilizes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, to evaluate the performance of its business, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and liquidity, in the case of Net Debt. Beginning with the reporting period ended December 31, 2025, we have revised the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to better reflect the underlying performance of the business in light of the Strategic Transformation and changes to our model and operating strategy. Specifically, we now adjust for impairment of long-lived assets and restructuring and other charges, and have determined not to adjust for inventory net realizable value, gain or sale of property and equipment, or other historical adjustments.
Due to significant depreciable assets associated with the nature of our operations and, to a lesser extent, interest costs associated with our capital structure, management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are important measures to evaluate our results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis and to help investors analyze underlying trends in our business, evaluate the performance, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and liquidity, in the case of Net Debt, of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market, provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business and help investors evaluate our ability to service our debt. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP information provided is unique to Alico and may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted for impairment of long-lived assets and restructuring and other charges. Net Debt is defined as Current portion of long-term debt, Long-term debt, net and Lines of credit, less cash. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders for the year ended September 30, 2026 as the adjustments are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.
