Results of Operations

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of approximately $23.7 million, compared to net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of approximately $37.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 was in line with the Company’s most recent net income guidance of $22.0 to $24.0 million. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company had earnings of $3.16 per diluted common share, compared to earnings of $5.05 per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. As previously reported throughout the 2020 fiscal year, the decrease in net income attributable to Alico common stockholders is primarily due to (i) a decline in the market price per pound solids for citrus fruit this past 2019/2020 harvest season largely attributable to unfavorable industry supply dynamics, (ii) a decrease in processed box production due to greater fruit drop in the current harvest season as compared to the 2018/2019 harvest season, and (iii) a smaller amount of funds being awarded through the federal disaster relief program in the 2020 fiscal year as compared to the prior fiscal year. Partially offsetting this decrease was the impact of an increased amount of gain on the sale of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale being recorded in the current fiscal year as compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the sale of certain parcels on the west side of the Alico Ranch, and a reduction in certain general and administrative costs.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s EBITDA of $51.8 million was in line with the Company’s EBTIDA guidance of $49.5 million to $52.5 million.

When both periods are adjusted for certain non-recurring items, the Company had an adjusted net loss of $0.16 per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, compared to adjusted net income of $2.86 per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $18.9 million and $48.5 million, respectively.

These financial results reflect the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. The majority of the Company’s citrus crop is harvested in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year; consequently, most of the Company's profit and cash flows from operating activities are typically recognized in those quarters and the Company’s working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.
