ALICO: Land Monetization Reinforces Post-Citrus Transformation – Quarterly Update Report
Download the Complete Report Here Key Takeaways: 2Q FY26 marked another strong execution quarter, with adjusted EBITDA of $16.9 million and net income of $11.4 million. Land monetization accelerated, with a $26.9 million sale of non-core citrus acreage bringing YTD land sales to $34.6 million. Collier County approval for Corkscrew Grove East Village materially advances ALCO’s long-term development strategy in Southwest Florida. Liquidity strengthened despite $10.0 million of share repurchases, with $52.9 million of cash extending runway through FY28. Valuation remains supported by conservative land assumptions, with upside tied to monetization, entitlement progress, and long-term development optionality. Land monetization and lower citrus drag drove another quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. 2Q FY26 (quarter ending March 2026) reflects continued progress in ALCO’s transition from a weather and disease-exposed citrus operator into a land-management and development platform with recurring agricultural utilization, episodic land sales, and long-duration real estate optionality. ALCO reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $11.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $111.4 million, or $14.58 per diluted share, in 2Q FY25. Adjusted EBITDA increased 32.6% y/y to $16.9 million from $12.7 million, while EBITDA improved to $16.7 million from a loss of $14.7 million, reflecting the January land sale, lower citrus drag, and continued execution of the company’s land-centric operating strategy. Land sale proceeds funded both liquidity and shareholder returns. ALCO closed the previously announced sale of approximately 2,950 acres of citrus grove for $26.9 million during the quarter, bringing year-to-date land sales to $34.6 million. Importantly, management paired this monetization with $10.0 million of common share repurchases through April 2026, demonstrating a more active capital allocation posture while still maintaining a strong liquidity position. Agricultural land utilization is becoming the cash-flow bridge for ALCO’s development strategy. Approximately 97% of ALCO’s ~32,500 farmable acres are now utilized, representing ~89% of its 46,000 agricultural acres and providing a steadier lease/royalty base while land sales and development milestones remain episodic. Land management revenue is scaling as agricultural utiliza...

Alico, Inc. Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Performance improvement was primarily driven by the strategic wind-down of capital-intensive citrus operations and a significant $26.9 million land sale. The company has successfully transitioned 97% of farmable acres to diversified revenue streams, including leasing for cattle, mining, and sod farming, which reduces operational complexity. Management attributes the improved operating cash flow to the exit from the citrus business, which effectively removed exposure to volatile fuel and fertilizer costs. The unanimous local approval for Corkscrew Grove East Village validates the company's regulatory strategy and commitment to responsible, conservation-aligned development. Strategic land monetization continues to attract qualified buyers, with recent sales achieving approximately $9,100 per acre, significantly higher than historical conservative estimates. The current financial position, with $52.9 million in cash, is intended to provide a runway through fiscal 2028, allowing development projects to proceed without liquidity-driven pressure. The company expects to secure state regulatory approvals for the East Village project by early 2027, with federal approvals targeted for the end of 2028. Potential construction commencement for the Corkscrew Grove development is projected for the 2028 or 2029 timeframe. Management maintains an estimated present value of $335 million to $380 million for its core development pipeline, representing only 10% of total land holdings. Updated year-end guidance projects cash of approximately $40 million and net debt of approximately $45 million, accounting for completed share repurchases. Future capital allocation will continue to balance internal development investments with shareholder returns, including potential additional buybacks and dividends. The approved East Village project includes 4,502 dwelling units and 238,000 square feet of commercial space, requiring the permanent conservation of nearly 5,000 acres. Management's updated analysis indicates a total portfolio asset value between $650 million and $750 million across approximately 46,000 remaining acres. The company completed its last significant citrus harvest in April 2025, marking the near-total transition away fro...

Alico Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Alico, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Alico swung to strong profitability in Q2, reporting net income of $11.4 million, or $1.49 per share, versus a huge loss a year earlier. EBITDA also improved sharply as the company continued winding down citrus operations and benefited from a January land sale. Land monetization remains the main growth driver, highlighted by a $26.9 million sale of about 2,950 acres that generated a $19.8 million gain. Management said the remaining roughly 46,000 Florida acres still have substantial value and development optionality. Development progress and leasing revenue are advancing, with Corkscrew Grove East Village receiving local approval for up to 4,502 homes and related commercial space, while land management revenue rose sharply from farm leases, sod, and other diversified uses. Alico also said its cash position of $52.9 million and reduced net debt support its runway through fiscal 2028. Alico (NASDAQ:ALCO) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 net income of $11.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, as the Florida land and agribusiness company continued to shift away from citrus production and toward land monetization, leasing and development initiatives. President and Chief Executive Officer John Kiernan said the quarter showed “continued execution” of the company’s strategy, pointing to a major land sale, share repurchases, progress on development entitlements and expanded agricultural leasing. Alico ended the quarter with $52.9 million in cash, which Kiernan said extends the company’s financial runway through fiscal 2028. → Beyond NVIDIA: Picks-and-Shovels AI Plays with Strong Momentum For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Alico reported total revenue of $5.2 million, down from $18 million in the prior-year period. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, revenue was $7.2 million, compared with $34.9 million a year earlier. Chief Financial Officer Brad Heine said the decline reflected the ongoing wind-down of citrus operations, which began in 2025. Alico completed its last significant citrus harvest in April 2025. Despite the revenue decline, Alico’s profitability improved sharply from the year-earlier quarter, when it posted a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $111.4 million, or $14.58 per diluted share.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
Good morning, welcome to Alico's second quarter 2026 earnings call. Currently, all participants are in a listen-only mode. As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to your host, John Mills, Managing Partner at ICR. Please go ahead, sir.
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Alico's second-quarter 2026 conference call. On the call today are John Kiernan, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Brad Heine, Chief Financial Officer. By now, everyone should have access to the second-quarter 2026 earnings release, which went out yesterday at approximately 4:15 P.M. Eastern Time. If you've not had a chance to view the release, it's available on the investor relations portion of the company's website at alicoinc.com. This call is being webcast, and a replay will be available on Alico's website as well. Before we begin, we'd like to remind everyone that the prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements.
Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include risks detailed in the company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments thereto filed with the SEC and those mentioned in the earnings release. The company undertakes no obligation to subsequently update or revise the forward-looking statements made on today's call, except as required by law. During this call, the company may also discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt. For more details on these measures, please refer to the company's press release issued yesterday. With that, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to the company's President and CEO, Mr. John Kiernan.
Thank you, John, and good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to everyone here on the call. Our second quarter results demonstrate continued execution of our strategy and our commitment to delivering on our near-term and long-term goals. With net income of $11.4 million, adjusted EBITDA of $16.9 million, and cash of $52.9 million at quarter end, we've extended our financial runway through fiscal 2028 while maintaining the flexibility to advance our development initiatives. Let me walk through the key accomplishments during and subsequent to the quarter. First, we closed at $26.9 million land sale in January. This transaction involved approximately 2,950 acres and generated a gain of approximately $19.8 million, bringing our year-to-date land sales to $34.6 million.
The transaction reflects the strong demand for our Florida properties and validates our land monetization strategy. Our land portfolio continues to attract qualified buyers seeking prime agricultural and development-ready properties across Southwest Florida's growth corridors. With approximately 46,000 acres remaining in our Florida portfolio, we believe our diversified holdings provide continued opportunities for strategic land monetization that balances near-term cash generation with long-term development optionality. Second, we deployed $10 million through our 10b5-1 share repurchase program, acquiring 245,399 shares through April. This reflects our balanced approach to capital allocation and our confidence in the embedded value within our portfolio. We continue to assess optimal capital allocation decisions, including potential additional share repurchases, dividends, and strategic investments in our development pipeline as we execute our value creation strategy.
Third, and most significantly, in late April, we received unanimous approval from the Collier County Board of County Commissioners for Corkscrew Grove East Village. This local entitlement represents a meaningful regulatory milestone for what we believe has the potential to be a significant development project for Southwest Florida. The approved East Village encompasses 1,446 acres and authorizes up to 4,502 dwelling units, including 362 affordable housing units for essential workers and approximately 238,000 sq ft of neighborhood-scaled retail and office space. The project aligns with Collier County's Rural Land Stewardship Area program and reflects our commitment to responsible development that balances growth with conservation. Corkscrew Grove East Village will enhance public infrastructure while permanently protecting thousands of acres of sensitive land and restoring wetlands and uplands to native habitat.
As part of this plan, Alico will place nearly 5,000 acres into permanent conservation at no cost to taxpayers. The project reflects our emphasis on connected open space, preservation and restoration, and landscape-scale habitat connectivity. With local approvals now secured, we're focusing on working closely with the South Florida Water Management District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to continue to show that this project is thoughtfully planned, environmentally responsible, and aligned with all requirements necessary to secure state and federal permits. We remain on our timeline of expected state approval by early 2027 and federal approval by the end of 2028. Keeping us on track for potential construction commencement in 2028 or 2029. Fourth, our diversified land utilization strategy continues to perform as intended.
Approximately 97% of our farmable acres now generate revenue through agricultural partnerships with citrus growers, farmers, cattle ranchers, mining companies, sugarcane producers, and sod farming operations. These programs reduce operational complexity while maintaining agricultural use of our land. I'm also pleased to announce that Eric H. Speron joined our board of directors this quarter. Eric brings proven expertise in real estate and finance from his work at First Foundation and previously at J.P. Morgan. He currently serves on the board of Keweenaw Land Association, Limited and Tejon Ranch Company, and his experience will be valuable as we advance our development pipeline.
Our development pipeline continues to advance with Corkscrew Grove Villages, Bonnet Lake, Saddlebag Grove, and Plant World, which total a total of 5,500 acres, maintain their estimated present value of between $335 million and $380 million, which we expect to realize within the next 5 years. This represents significant value creation potential from just 10% of our land holdings. Our balance sheet is strong. With $52.9 million in cash at quarter end and $92.5 million of available borrowing under our line of credit, we have the financial resources to execute our strategy. That cash position extends our runway through fiscal 2028, giving us the time and flexibility to advance our development projects on our timeline, not driven by liquidity constraints.
In addition, because of our strategic decision to exit the citrus business, we have now dramatically improved our operating cash flow and essentially removed the current headwinds of fuel and fertilizer costs facing many industries today. Management's NPV analysis of our approximately 46,000 acres indicates asset value between $650 million and $750 million. With our current market capitalization and net debt of approximately $32.6 million at quarter end, we believe Alico represents value for investors seeking exposure to Florida's growth. What differentiates Alico is our combination of strategic land holdings across seven Florida counties, more than 125 years of local relationships and conservation credibility, a management team with expertise in both agriculture and real estate development, and a balanced portfolio approach with 75% of our land continuing in agricultural use.
Our priorities for fiscal 2026 remain unchanged. Optimize agricultural operations by maximizing revenue from diversified leasing programs while maintaining cost controls. Advance our development projects through the entitlement process, with particular focus on securing remaining approvals for Corkscrew Grove Villages. Balance required entitle investments with shareholder returns while maintaining financial flexibility. To pursue operational excellence by leveraging our experienced team and local relationships to execute efficiently. The foundation is in place. The Collier County approval represents meaningful progress. We're positioned to advance through the remaining permitting processes. Our balance sheet and revenues from diversified agricultural operations provide the resources to execute our strategy. With that, I'll turn it over to Brad Heine, who will walk through our detailed financial results.
Thank you, John, and good morning, everyone. I'll walk you through our second quarter fiscal 2026 financial results and provide additional details on our financial position. For the three months ended March 31st, 2026, we reported total revenue of $5.2 million compared to $18 million in the prior year period. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, we reported total revenue of $7.2 million compared to $34.9 million in the prior year period. Looking at our business segments, Alico Citrus results reflect the ongoing wind down of citrus operations that began in 2025. Revenue decreased significantly as expected, while cost of sales declined correspondingly. We completed our last significant citrus harvest in April 2025, and while we may see some residual activity during the wind down period, the reduced scale demonstrates our successful exit from capital-intensive citrus production.
Land management and other operations revenue increased 113% in the quarter, driven by farm lease and sod revenue as we shift our focus to diversified land usage. For the 6 months ended March 31, 2026, revenues increased 97%, primarily from farm lease revenue, rock and sand royalties, and sod revenue. Our diversified programs now utilize approximately 97% of our roughly 32,500 farmable acres, representing approximately 89% of our total 46,000 agricultural acres. Our net income attributable to the Alico common stockholders for the 3 months ended March 31, 2026 was $11.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $111.4 million or $14.58 per diluted share in the prior year period.
The improvement was principally driven by the wind down of our citrus operations and the $26.9 million land sale we closed in January. We achieved positive EBITDA of $16.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to negative $14.7 million in the prior year period, a $31.4 million improvement. Our adjusted EBITDA was $16.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.7 million last year. This positive EBITDA generation validates the cash generating capability of our transformed operating model. From a balance sheet perspective, we continue to demonstrate financial strength. Cash and cash equivalents at quarter end were $52.9 million, up from $38.1 million at fiscal year-end.
This increase reflects the $26.9 million land sale in January, partially offset by $8.4 million in share repurchases during the quarter and operational uses of cash. Working capital was $52.2 million, with a current ratio of 9.63 to 1, while total debt was $85.5 million and net debt was $32.6 million at quarter end, compared to $85.5 million and $47.4 million respectively at fiscal year-end. Available borrowings on our credit facility were approximately $92.5 million, and our minimum liquidity requirement was $5.8 million, providing substantial financial flexibility. Through April 2026, we've repurchased 245,399 shares for $10 million through our share repurchase program, demonstrating our commitment to returning capital to shareholders when we see value.
We are maintaining our 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA of approximately $14 million, and we are updating our year-end cash guidance to approximately $40 million and net debt guidance to approximately $45 million, reflecting the $10 million share repurchase program completed through April 2026. We expect to end the fiscal year with only the minimum required balance of $2.5 million on our revolving line of credit. The fundamentals are working as intended. We're generating cash flow from diversified land usage while maintaining optionality to pursue higher value development opportunities. The Collier County approval of Corkscrew Grove East Villages represents meaningful progress, and our balance sheet provides the resources to advance through the remaining permitting processes. Now I'd like to turn the call back to John for his closing remarks.
Thank you, Brad. Before we open the call to questions from research analysts, I want to emphasize a few key points. First, Alico's delivering on what we committed to do. The land sales, the share repurchases, the entitlement approvals, the high land utilization rates we've achieved really demonstrate a consistent execution of our strategy. Second, our financial position provides the runway and flexibility to advance our development projects. The extension of our cash runway through fiscal 2028 gives us the time to maximize value from a regulatory process and development pipeline. Third, our business model is working. We've created multiple revenue streams through land leasing and management while advancing high-value development projects that we believe will generate substantial returns over the next 5 years. We're very pleased to have received unanimous approval from the Collier County Board of Commissioners for Corkscrew Grove East Village.
We remain on our timeline of expecting state approval by the end of 2026 or 27, and federal approval by the end of 2028, keeping us on track for potential construction commencement in 2028 or 2029. Finally, we remain focused on responsible land stewardship and conservation. Wildlife underpass partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation and our commitment to preserving more than 6,000 acres of conservation areas for the entire Corkscrew Grove Villages project reflects our values and differentiate Alico in the development community. Katie will now open the call for questions.
Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. To leave the queue at any time, please press star two. Once again, that is star one to ask a question. We will pause for just a moment to allow everyone the chance to queue. Thank you. Our first question will come from Gerard Sweeney with ROTH Capital. Your line is open.
Good morning, John and Brad. Thanks for taking my call.
Hi. How are you doing, Gerard?
Morning, Gerard.
Doing well. Congrats on the Collier County approval, Corkscrew Grove. You also laid out the next sort of, I guess, hurdles for the state and federal approval. However, I wanted to discuss with you, and I understand that it could be early, if you have gone or reviewed how you'll develop Corkscrew Grove, whether or not you'll partner with somebody, do it yourself, et cetera. Again, I know it may be a little bit early for that question, but I figured I would ask it.
No, it's a highly relevant question. We've been discussing it publicly over the last two years. Right now, our answer has not changed, but certainly the time horizon is starting to shrink a little bit. Alico still reserves the optionality to sell the land outright once it's entitled for entitled value to national or local home builders. We reserve the right to actually partner with these home builders at the same time, where we would get a little money up front and then share as the development progresses over time. Alico reserves the right to potentially bring in-house capabilities inside and basically develop this ourselves.
Right now, we continue to have meetings in a number of those areas. Clearly in the next year or so, we will probably have to commit to one path or another. It really is gonna depend on a number of factors. That would be the timing of the approval process and the success that we have on staying on the 2027 and the 2028/2029 approvals, and also kind of what the market bears. You know, we have a very good team in-house, but we really are not construction experts. This is a prime location. It is a very well-thought-out plan.
I think the approvals that we got at the local level reflect the fact that it's been very thoughtful and we think is highly marketable. At this point, we have nothing to announce on which path we're continuing to go down.
Got it. That's helpful. Within a year, It's getting closer. I appreciate that.
Yes.
Separately, obviously nice land sale in January. By my math, a little over $9,100 per acre. I think you have about 46,000 acres left, you said. Some of that is Corkscrew Grove, some of it's Bonnet Lake, and some other maybe potentially developable land. How much, shall we say, maybe for lack of a better word, I know agricultural land or sand land is available for sale and, you know, that $9,000 per acre number is up considerably from five, six, seven years ago. You know, how much could you get for that remaining land? Understanding that maybe some of, you know, not all land was created equal and some have different value scenarios.
Sure. We ask that you give us another week. We're gonna be seeing an investor conference next week, and we will give you a more detailed breakdown of kind of the buckets that we previously had discussed for what management believes is potentially their net present value. We just reiterated it. We think the entire portfolio, which is now 46,000 acres instead of the 50,000+ that we had two years ago, is still worth between $650 million and $750 million, and that is supported primarily by the large percentage of our acres that will be tied to agricultural for the long term, simply because the price point we had said previously was between $4,000 and $5,000 per acre.
The trades that we've done over the last year and change have been, you know, in the $9,000 range. We can't say that the inventory portfolio is worth $9,000. We're not saying that at all. We're continuing to actually be conservative and we again beg your indulgence, but when we come out with our revised investment presentation next week, we should have a detailed slide that'll break that out in detail.
Got it. In other words, that 650 to 750 was using $4,000 to $5,000 per acre. Some of the land, some, not all that land has probably increased, so, the average price may have increased, is what you're saying?
Correct. That is correct.
Got it.
We think reason comps support that as an analysis. We don't think we're making that up.
Got it. One last question. You know, obviously you have local approval, you have state approval, federal approval. You laid that out. You discussed that what development path you're gonna go down over the course of the next year. Any other major sort of steps, milestones that we should be aware of over the next 2 years, or do you think that's the majority of them?
I mean, as far as Corkscrew Grove East Village is. You actually hit the third point, which is making a decision on how potentially we would monetize this on behalf of shareholders would be kind of the next big news item outside of the state approval and the federal approval for that.
Got it. Okay. I appreciate it. I'll jump back in line. Thank you.
Thank you, Jerry.
Thank you. This concludes our Q&A session. I'll now turn the call back over to John Kiernan for any final or closing remarks.
Thank you, Katie. To everyone, we really appreciate your continued interest in Alico. We look forward to updating you on our progress in the quarters ahead. We hope to talk to you again in August. Have a good day.
Thank you. That brings us to the end of today's meeting. We appreciate your time and participation. You may now disconnect.

Alico Inc.: Land-centric Model Takes Hold and Earnings Jump – Quarterly Update Report
Download the Complete Report Here By Karen Roman Alico, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALCO) beats the cold-front and starts the year hot. The first quarter marked a clear earnings inflection point, driven by the successful shift away from citrus towards a land-centric operating model. ALCO generated a stand-out $7.7 million from land sales in the first quarter and turned around adjusted EBITDA from negative $6.7 million a year earlier to $2.7 million. Year-to-date land monetization reached $34.5 million through January 2026, strengthening liquidity and reducing earnings volatility. As agricultural land utilization scales, the operating base continues to stabilize: Approximately 97% of ALCO’s 32,500 farmable acres are now leased. Diversified land management programs, including farming leases, grazing, mining royalties, and sod, cover roughly 89% of total agricultural acreage. These arrangements provide recurring cash flows with lower capital intensity and improve earnings visibility. ALCO’s development pipeline remains a key source of long-term upside potential. The Corkscrew Grove Villages project advanced with legislative approval of its stewardship district, and a local county entitlement decision is expected in 2026, with construction potentially beginning as soon as 2028 or 2029. A total of four priority development projects representing about 10% of the land base are estimated to hold $335 million to $380 million in present value, underscoring significant embedded optionality. The priority for 2026 is set: a clear focus on continued cash generation and balance-sheet flexibility. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach approximately $14 million with cash balances possibly rising to around $50 million by year-end. While quarterly results could remain lumpy due to episodic land sales, the company’s strengthened liquidity, advancing entitlements, and diversified land income streams position ALCO for sustained earnings-growth and incremental value recognition.
