Alico, Inc. Reports 88.8% Revenue Decline, Focuses on Strategic Transformation

Alico, Inc. reported a significant decline in financial performance for the three months ending December 31, 2025, with total operating revenues of $1.887 million, a decrease of 88.8% from $16.894 million in the same period of the previous year. The company's citrus segment, Alico Citrus, generated only $883,000 in revenue, down 94.6% from $16.326 million in the prior year, primarily due to the strategic decision to wind down citrus operations in response to ongoing challenges such as citrus greening disease. In contrast, the Land Management and Other Operations segment saw a 76.8% increase in revenue to $1.004 million, driven by growth in rock and sand royalties and farming lease revenues.

The company's operating expenses also decreased significantly, totaling $7.441 million compared to $25.132 million in the previous year, largely due to the winding down of citrus operations and the absence of a $7.359 million inventory adjustment that was recorded in the prior year. Alico reported a loss from operations of $8.555 million, an improvement from the $10.824 million loss reported in the same quarter of 2024. The net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3.481 million, compared to a net loss of $9.167 million in the prior year, reflecting a 62% reduction in losses.

In terms of operational developments, Alico has been actively selling non-core assets as part of its strategic transformation. During the quarter, the company sold approximately 600 acres of land for $7.653 million. Additionally, on January 14, 2026, Alico finalized the sale of approximately 2,950 acres of citrus land for $26.859 million. The company is focusing on diversifying its land usage and real estate development strategy, which includes the Corkscrew Grove Villages project.

As of December 31, 2025, Alico's total assets were reported at $194.962 million, down from $201.527 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company had cash and cash equivalents of $34.756 million, a decrease from $38.128 million. Current liabilities also decreased to $3.392 million from $5.743 million, resulting in a current ratio of 14.39 to 1, indicating strong liquidity. The company’s long-term debt remained relatively stable at $82.751 million.

Looking ahead, Alico's management has indicated that the strategic transformation will continue to shape the company's future operations and financial performance. The focus will remain on diversifying land usage and enhancing real estate development activities, which are expected to mitigate the seasonal revenue patterns historically associated with citrus production. However, the company acknowledges the inherent risks and uncertainties in executing this strategy, including market conditions and operational challenges.
