Alico, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alico”, the “Company", "we", "us" or "our”), is a Florida agribusiness and land management company owning approximately ~~81,000~~75,000 acres of land and approximately 90,000 acres of mineral rights throughout Florida. Alico holds these mineral rights on substantially all its owned acres, with additional mineral rights on other acres. The Company manages its land based upon its primary usage, and reviews its performance based upon 2 primary classifications: (i) Alico Citrus and (ii) Land Management and Other Operations. Financial results are presented based upon these 2 business segments.

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a condensed consolidated basis. These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which are referred to herein as the “Financial Statements", have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. These Financial Statements do not include all the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on December 7, 2021.

The Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods.

Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 280 as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on two operating segments: (i) Alico Citrus and (ii) Land Management and Other Operations.

The Financial Statements include the accounts of Alico and the accounts of all the subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is held by the Company. Under U.S. GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the majority owner. The Company’s subsidiaries include: Alico Land Development, Inc., Alico-Agri, Ltd., Alico Plant World, LLC, Alico Fruit Company, LLC, Alico Citrus Nursery, LLC, Alico Chemical Sales, LLC, 734 Citrus Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries, Alico Skink Mitigation, LLC and Citree Holdings 1, LLC (“Citree”). The Company considers the criteria established under FASB ASC Topic 810, ~~“Consolidations”~~

“Consolidations” in its consolidation process. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying Financial Statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. The estimates are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical experience, the experience and judgment of the Company’s management and various other specific assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable.

Restricted cash is comprised of certain cash receipts from the sale of property in which the use of funds is restricted.

In March 2022, the Company sold certain sections of the West Ranch, from which a portion of the net cash proceeds amounting to $2,660,000 is being held by a qualified intermediary for purposes of purchasing a like-kind asset and deferring a portion of the gain on the sale of the ranch land. Such portion of the net cash proceeds is included in restricted cash.

Revenues are derived from the sale of processed fruit, fresh fruit, other citrus revenue, revenues from grove management services, leasing revenue and other resource revenues. Most of the revenue is generated from the sale of citrus fruit to processing facilities, fresh fruit sales and grove management services.

For fruit sales, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount it expects to be entitled to be paid, determined when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers, which occurs upon delivery of and acceptance of the fruit by the customer and when the Company has a right to payment.

For the sale of fruit, the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is the delivery of fruit to the processing facility of the customer (or harvesting of the citrus in the case of fresh fruit) for each separate variety of fruit identified in the respective contract with the respective customer. The Company initially recognizes revenue in an amount which is estimated based on contractual and market prices, if such market price falls within the range (known as “floor” and “ceiling” prices) identified in the specific respective contracts. Additionally, the Company also has a contractual agreement whereby revenue is determined based on applying a cost-plus structure methodology. As such, since all these contracts contain elements of variable consideration, the Company recognizes this variable consideration by using the expected value method. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the reasonableness of the revenues accrued based on buyers’ and processors’ advances to growers, cash and futures markets and experience in the industry. Adjustments are made throughout the year to these estimates as more current relevant industry information becomes available. Differences between the estimates and the final realization of revenues at the close of the harvesting season can result in either an increase or decrease to reported revenues.

Receivables under contracts, whereby pricing is based on contractual and market prices, are primarily paid at the floor amount and are collected within seven days after the harvest week. Any adjustments to pricing as a result of changes in market prices are collected or paid thirty to sixty days after final market pricing is published. Receivables under those contracts where pricing is based off a cost-plus structure methodology are paid at the final prior year rate. Any adjustments to pricing because of the cost-plus calculation are collected or paid upon finalization of the calculation and agreement by both parties.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The Company’s floating rate notes and variable funding notes bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on LIBOR. Because LIBOR will cease to exist, the Company will need to renegotiate its loan agreements, but the Company cannot predict what alternative index would be negotiated with its lenders. ASU 2020-04 is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard and the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards which have not yet been adopted to determine their potential effect, if any, on the results of operations or financial condition. Based on the review of these other recently issued standards, the Company does not currently believe that any of those accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (Topic 350), which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, determined in

Step 1. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective October 1, 2020, using the prospective approach, and will apply this standard in future impairment tests. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2018-13”), which aims to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Retrospective adoption iswas required, except for certain disclosures, which ~~will be~~were required to be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective October 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Leases (Topic 842). The Company adopted ASU 2018-19 effective October 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in the existing guidance for income taxes and making other minor improvements. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective October 1, 2021, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restrictions on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. These measures have had a significant adverse impact upon many sectors of the economy, including certain agriculture businesses.

Since the commencement of COVID-19 in March 2020, the Company took steps to allow and encourage greater social distancing for both our employed and our contracted field workers and has worked with its harvesters, haulers and suppliers to minimize close interactions.

To date, the Company has experienced no material adverse impacts from this pandemic.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying Financial Statements for consistent presentation to the current period. These reclassifications had no impact on net income, equity, cash flows or working capital as previously reported.

The Company is primarily engaged in the production of fruit for sale to citrus markets, which is of a seasonal nature, and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. Historically, the second and third quarters of Alico's fiscal year produce most of the Company's annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, coinciding with harvesting cycles. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

The Company's credit facilities consist of fixed interest rate term loans originally in the amount of $125,000,000 (“Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans”), variable interest rate term loans originally in the amount of $57,500,000 (“Met Variable-Rate Term Loans”), a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and New England Life Insurance Company (collectively “Met”), and a $70,000,000 working capital line of credit (“WCLC”) with Rabo Agrifinance, Inc. (“Rabo”).

The term loans and RLOC are secured by real property. The security for the term loans and RLOC consists of approximately 38,200 gross acres of citrus groves and originally included 5,800 gross acres of ranch land. In April 2021, the 5,800 gross acres of ranch land ~~was~~were released as security against the term loans and RLOC and only the 38,200 gross acres of citrus groves remain as security for the term loans and RLOC. The WCLC is collateralized by the Company’s current assets and certain other personal property owned by the Company.

Initially, the Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans were subject to quarterly principal payments of $1,562,500 and bore interest at 4.15% per annum. Effective May 1, 2021, the Company modified its Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans, which, in the aggregate have a balance of $70,000,000 after the prepayment of $10,312,500 made in April 2021, to be interest only with a balloon payment to be paid at maturity on November 1, 2029. The interest rate on these Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans, which were bearing interest at 4.15%, was adjusted to 3.85%. As part of this modification, the Company no longer has the prepayment option previously allowed under the arrangement.

The Met Variable-Rate Term Loans are subject to quarterly principal payments of $718,750 and bear interest at a rate equal to 90-day LIBOR plus 165 basis points (the “LIBOR spread”). The LIBOR spread was subject to adjustment by Met beginning May 1, 2017 and is subject to further adjustment every two years thereafter until maturity. No adjustment was made at May 1, 2019 or at May 1, 2021. Interest on the term loans is payable quarterly. The interest rate on the Met Variable-Rate Term Loans ~~was~~were 1.95% and 1.78% per annum as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The Met Variable-Rate Term Loans mature on November 1, 2029.

On April 29, 2022, the Company made a prepayment on one of its Met Variable-Rate Term Loans in an amount of approximately $15,625,000 and the loan, with its latest principal payment made on May 2, 2022, was fully satisfied.

The RLOC bears interest at a floating rate equal to 90-day LIBOR plus 165 basis points, payable quarterly. The LIBOR spread was adjusted by Met on May 1, 2017 and is subject to further adjustment every two years thereafter. No adjustment was made at May 1, 2019 or at May 1, 2021. In October 2019, the RLOC agreement was modified to extend the maturity to November 1, 2029. The RLOC is subject to an annual commitment fee of 25 basis points on the unused portion of the line of credit. The RLOC is available for funding general corporate needs. The variable interest rate was 1.95% and 1.78% per annum as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Availability under the RLOC was $25,000,000 as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

The WCLC is a revolving credit facility and is available for funding working capital and general corporate requirements. The interest rate on the WCLC is based on the one-month LIBOR, plus a spread, which spread is adjusted quarterly, based on the Company's debt service coverage ratio for the preceding quarter and can vary from 175 to 250 basis points. The rate is currently at LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The variable interest rate was ~~1.85%~~1.98% and 1.83% per annum as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The WCLC agreement was amended on August 25, 2020, and the primary terms of the amendment were an extension of the maturity to November 1, 2023. There were no changes to the commitment amount or interest rate formula. The WCLC agreement provides for Rabo to issue up to $2,000,000 in letters of credit on the Company’s behalf. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there was approximately $336,000 in outstanding letters of credit, which correspondingly reduced the Company's availability under the line of credit.

The WCLC is subject to a quarterly commitment fee on the daily unused availability under the line computed as the commitment amount less the aggregate of the outstanding loans and outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fee is adjusted quarterly based on Alico's debt service coverage ratio for the preceding quarter and can vary from a minimum of 20 basis points to a maximum of 30 basis points. Commitment fees to date have been charged at 20 basis points.

There was ~~approximately $9,377,000 and~~ $0 outstanding on the WCLC at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, ~~2021, respectively.~~2021. Availability under the WCLC was approximately ~~$60,287,000 and approximately~~ $69,664,000 as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, ~~2021, respectively.~~2021.

In 2014, the Company capitalized approximately $2,834,000 of debt financing costs related to a refinancing and approximately $339,000 of costs related to the retired debt. Additionally, financing costs of approximately $23,000 were incurred in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 in connection with the letters of credit. All costs are included in deferred financing costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the applicable terms of the obligations. The unamortized balance of deferred financing costs related to the financing above was approximately ~~$853,000~~$817,000 and approximately $891,000 at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

These credit facilities noted above are subject to various covenants including the following financial covenants: (i) minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.10 to ~~1.00,~~1.00; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $160,000,000 increased annually by 10% of consolidated net income for the preceding years, or approximately $173,216,000 for the year ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2021; (iii) minimum current ratio of 1.50 to ~~1.00,~~1.00; (iv) debt to total assets ratio not greater than .625 to 1.00, ~~and,~~and; (v) solely in the case of the WCLC, a limit on capital expenditures of $30,000,000 per fiscal year. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Credit facilities also include a Met Life term loan collateralized by 1,200 gross acres of citrus grove owned by Citree ("Met Citree Loan"). This is a $5,000,000 credit facility that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.28% per annum. Principal and interest payments are made on a quarterly basis. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, there was an outstanding balance of ~~$4,200,000~~$4,138,000 and $4,263,000, respectively. The loan matures in February 2029. The unamortized balance of deferred financing costs related to this loan was approximately ~~$31,000~~$29,000 and $31,000 at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR. On November 30, 2020, ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, with the support of the United States Federal Reserve and the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom, announced plans to consult on ceasing publication of LIBOR on December 31, 2021 for only the one week and two-month LIBOR tenors, and on June 30, 2023 for all other LIBOR tenors. On March 5, 2021, the FCA confirmed that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the one week and two-month U.S. dollar settings; and (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar settings. The Alternative Reference Rate Committee, a committee convened by the Federal Reserve that includes major market participants, has proposed an alternative rate to replace U.S. Dollar LIBOR: the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The outcome of these reforms is uncertain and any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined or regulatory activity related to LIBOR’s phaseout could cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past.

The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the transition from LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark to other potential alternative reference rates. Currently, the Company has debt instruments in place that reference one-month and three-month LIBOR-based rates. The transition from LIBOR, as mentioned above is estimated to take place in fiscal 2023 and ~~management will continue~~the Company is currently working with its lenders to ~~actively assess the related opportunities and risks involved in this transition.~~transition to an alternative reference rate.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (H.R. 748) (the “CARES Act”). Among the changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules, the CARES Act restored net operating loss carryback rules that were eliminated by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modified the limit on the deduction for net interest expense, and accelerated the timeframe for refunds of AMT credit carryovers. From a federal tax reporting standpoint, the Company had a federal tax net operating loss (“NOL”) in the amount of $2,390,415 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and, pursuant to the provisions of the CARES Act, Form 1139 was filed for the NOL carryback during fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, resulting in a refund due of $580,314.

The Company’s Federal and State filings remain subject to examination by tax authorities for tax periods ending after September 30, 2017.

~~During the quarter ended~~In December ~~31,~~ 2021, the Company sold 1,638 acres of land to the ~~state~~State of Florida at a price below market value, which resulted in a charitable contribution and related charitable deduction for tax purposes. The charitable contribution generated a tax benefit of approximately $6,300,000, however, the Company does not anticipate it will be able to realize the entire charitable deduction before it expires in 2027. A valuation allowance of approximately $1,400,000 was recorded to partially offset the charitable contribution carryover deferred tax asset, resulting in a net benefit of approximately $4,900,000.

Basic earnings per share for Alico's common stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of

common shares issuable under equity-based compensation plans in accordance with the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such common shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.

For the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under the FASB ASC Topic 280 as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on 2 operating segments: Alico Citrus and Land Management and Other Operations.

Total revenues represent sales and services rendered to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Goods produced by the Alico Citrus segment, as well as through the grove management services rendered by the Alico Citrus segment, are sold to wholesalers and processors in the United States who prepare the products for consumption. The Company evaluates the segments’ performance based on direct margins (gross profit) from operations before general and administrative expenses, interest expense, other income (expense) and income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s leases consist of operating lease arrangements for certain office space and IT ~~facilities.~~facilities, and equipment leases. When these lease arrangements include lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for lease components and non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) separately based on their relative standalone prices.

Any lease arrangements with an initial term of ~~12 months~~one year or less are not recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and it recognizes lease cost for these lease arrangements on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many lease arrangements provide the options to exercise one or more renewal terms or to terminate the lease arrangement. The Company includes these options when it will be reasonably certain to exercise them in the lease term used to establish the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Generally, lease agreements do not include an option to purchase the leased asset, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As most of our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the lease arrangement to determine the present value of lease payments.

No lease costs associated with finance leases and sale-leaseback transactions occurred and our lease income associated with lessor and sublease arrangements are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our operating leases cost components are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

The Company is still in the process of assessing the extent of the damage and the expected impact on its current financial position, results of operations and cash flows and the extent to which there might be any long-term effects.

Alico, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alico”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) generates operating revenues primarily from the sale of its citrus products, providing services to citrus groves owned by third parties, and grazing and hunting leasing. The Company operates as two business segments, and all its operating revenues are generated in the United States. For the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company generated operating revenues of approximately ~~$15,337,000, a loss~~$49,641,000 and $64,978,000, respectively, income from operations of approximately ~~$773,000,~~$1,461,000 and $688,000, respectively, and net income attributable to common stockholders of approximately ~~$10,131,000.~~$20,702,000 and $30,833,000, respectively. Net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities was approximately ~~$9,608,000~~$8,798,000 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based upon its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires it to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Alico bases these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, the Company evaluates the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

See Note 1. “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for a detailed description of recent accounting pronouncements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on December 7, 2021.

To date, the Company has experienced no material adverse impacts from this pandemic.

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with John E. Kiernan (the “Employment Agreement”). At the same time, the Company and Mr. Kiernan entered into an annual performance and long-term bonus agreement (the “Bonus Agreement”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Kiernan will remain President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for a term commencing on April 1, 2022, and ending on September 30, 2024, subject to extension and termination pursuant to the provisions of the Employment Agreement. The Bonus Agreement sets forth the terms under which Mr. Kiernan would be eligible and entitled to short-term and long-term incentive cash and equity bonuses. For further details of this Employment and Bonus Agreement, please see the Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 5, 2022.

On March 15, 2022, the Company sold approximately 6,286 acres of Alico ranch to third parties at an average sales price of $4,500 per acre, realizing approximately $28,288,000 of gross proceeds.

On December 3, 2021, the State of Florida purchased, under the Florida Forever program, approximately 1,638 acres of the Alico ~~Ranch~~ranch for approximately $5,675,000 pursuant to an option agreement entered into between the State of Florida and the Company on September 21, 2021. The acres were intentionally sold at a price below market value, which resulted in a charitable contribution and related charitable deduction for tax purposes. As a result of this charitable contribution, the Company generated a tax benefit.

The Company was eligible for Hurricane Irma federal relief programs for block grants that were being administered through the State of Florida. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 ~~2020,~~ and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company received approximately $4,299,000 ~~$4,629,000,~~ and ~~$15,597,000,~~$4,629,000, respectively, under the Florida Citrus Recovery Block Grant (“CRBG”) program. ~~These federal relief proceeds are included as a reduction to operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.~~ The remaining portion of the funds that the Company anticipates receiving under the Florida CRBG program relates to certain crop insurance expenses incurred by the Company and is estimated to be approximately ~~$2,000,000~~$2,250,000 in the aggregate. ~~In October 2021,~~For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received a portion of this crop insurance expense reimbursement in an amount equal to approximately ~~$1,000,000~~$1,123,000 and anticipates receiving the remaining portion in fiscal year 2023. These federal relief proceeds are included as a reduction to operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company sells its Early and Mid-Season and Valencia oranges to processors that convert most of the citrus crop into orange juice. The processors generally buy the citrus crop on a pound solids basis, which is the measure of the soluble solids (sugars and acids) contained in one box of fruit. The Company’s fresh fruit is generally sold to packing houses that purchase the citrus on a per box basis. The Company also provides citrus grove caretaking and harvest and haul management services to third parties in which revenues are recorded, including a management fee. Other revenues consist of the purchase and reselling of fruit.

Alico's operating expenses consist primarily of cost of sales, harvesting and hauling costs and grove management service costs. Cost of sales represents the cost of maintaining the citrus groves for the preceding calendar year and does not vary in relation to production. Harvesting and hauling costs represent the costs of bringing citrus product to processors and varies based upon the number of boxes produced. Grove management services costs include those costs associated with citrus grove caretaking and harvest and haul management services provided to third parties. Other expenses include the period costs of third-party grove caretaking and the purchase and reselling of third-party fruit.

The ~~increase~~decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021 was primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in Early and Mid-Season and Valencia fruit harvested and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in revenue generated from grove management services.

The decrease in Early and Mid-Season and Valencia fruit harvested was primarily driven by a decrease in processed box production and a decrease in pound solids per box. The processed box production for the six months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by 11.0%, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to greater fruit drop, attributed to disease and weather conditions. In addition, in late January 2022, the Company’s groves, along with many of the other groves in Florida, were impacted by a freeze event. Specifically, the Company’s Valencia box production, which was anticipated to perform better than the Early and Mid-Season ~~harvest. This increase~~box production on a year-over-year comparable basis (according to the USDA 2021-22 forecast published prior to the freeze event), was ~~driven~~negatively impacted by the freeze event. Because the Company’s Early and Mid-Season harvest was substantially complete at the time of the freeze, there was no material impact to the Company’s Early and Mid-Season box production. While the Company’s Valencia crop was adversely impacted by the freeze event, there does not appear to be long-term measurable damage to the citrus trees.

The decrease in pound solids per box of 7.4% during the six months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year’s six months ended March 31, 2021, was mainly due to the internal quality of the fruit not being as strong as it was in the previous year. In addition, the Company decided to accelerate the harvesting of the Valencia crop in order to maximize the box production, and as a result has been realizing lower pound solids per box.

Partially offsetting the decrease in processed box production and pound solids per box was an increase in the ~~market~~ price per pound ~~solids, which is~~solid of 11.2% due to ~~overall decreased production of citrus fruit and~~ continued strong consumption of Not from Concentrate Orange Juice (“NFC”), which has led to ~~reduced~~continued low inventory levels. While consumption has ~~slightly~~ dropped from its highest levels when the COVID-19 pandemic initially started back in March 2020, consumption, as reported by Nielsen data on ~~January 13,~~April 9, 2022, has increased approximately ~~11%~~7.4% for the ~~twelve-week~~twenty-four-week period ended ~~January 1,~~March 26, 2022, as compared to the similar ~~twelve-week~~twenty-four-week period prior to the COVID -19 pandemic.

~~Additionally, the~~The Company, ~~saw a slight increase in the Early and Mid-Season boxes harvested~~ for the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022 compared to the three and six months ended ~~December 31, 2020, as a result of the Company harvesting a greater percentage of its Early and Mid-Season crop through December~~March 31, 2021, measured as a percentage of its estimated full year Early and Mid-Season crop, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Overall, the Company, along with the Florida industry in general, is recording a smaller number of boxes harvested due to an even greater fruit drop rate, attributed to disease and weather, during the current harvest season, as compared to the previous year.

~~Partially offsetting this increase in revenues was~~recorded a decrease in pound solids per box during the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year’s three months ended December 31, 2020, mainly because the internal quality of the fruit is not as strong as it was in the previous year.

~~The Company, to a smaller extent, has also recorded increases in~~ revenue from ~~sales of fresh fruit and~~ grove management services. The ~~increase in the fresh fruit~~decrease is primarily due to ~~an increase in pricing per box, and~~ the ~~increase in grove~~third-party caretaking partner reducing some of the acres for which the Company was providing caretaking management ~~services is directly correlated to the amount of caretaking services being provided to third party citrus grove owners.~~services.

The Company harvest season, to date, has not been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The USDA, in its ~~January 12,~~April 8, 2022 Citrus Crop Forecast for the 2021-22 harvest season, indicated ~~its expectation is that~~it expects the overall Florida orange crop will decrease from approximately ~~52,800,000~~52,950,000 boxes for the 2020-21 crop year to approximately ~~44,500,000~~38,200,000 boxes for the 2021-22 crop year, a decrease of approximately ~~15.7%~~27.9%. With respect to the Early and Mid-Season crop, the USDA forecasted a 19.8% decline. The Company’s Early and Mid-Season crop for the season was down 13.7%. Regarding the Valencia crop, the USDA is forecasting a ~~22.9% decline.~~33.9% decline, with a significant portion of the decline being attributed to the freeze event. The Company is anticipating only a 12-15% decrease for ~~our Early and Mid-Season~~its Valencia crop, as compared to the same period last year. The Company believes ~~the~~this lower rate of decline, as compared to the state forecast, is due to the efficiencies of ~~its~~the Company’s comprehensive grove management ~~program. As~~program, as well as certain precautionary measures the Company took to minimize the impact of the freeze event on its groves and production.

The slight decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was due to a reduction in harvesting and hauling expenses attributable to a decrease in Early and Mid-Season and Valencia ~~crop, it is too soon~~boxes harvested in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to ~~project~~ the ~~extent~~same period in the prior year. Additionally, mostly because of the ~~damage and loss~~decrease in acreage managed, the Company realized a small decrease in its caretaking expenses for the ~~Valencia season crop from~~three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the ~~recently experienced freeze which affected certain areas~~three months ended March 31, 2021. Partially offsetting the decrease was the result of the ~~Company’s citrus acres.~~Company harvesting a greater percentage of boxes, in relation to the estimated total boxes to be harvested for the full season, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year, leading to a larger percentage of costs being allocated to cost of sales in the current quarter.

The increase in operating expenses for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, primarily relates to the Company receiving less proceeds under the CRBG program during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, when compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Through the end of fiscal year 2021, the Company had received the anticipated proceeds under the CRBG program, with the exception of funds that were due relating to certain crop insurance expenses incurred by the Company. The total amount to be received for this crop insurance reimbursement is estimated to be approximately ~~$2,000,000~~$2,250,000 in the aggregate, of which approximately ~~$1,000,000~~$1,123,000 was received in ~~October 2021.~~the six months ended March 31, 2022. By comparison, in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company received approximately ~~$4,100,000~~$4,299,000 in proceeds under the CRBG program.

~~The increase in operating expenses is also in part attributable to~~ Additionally, as a result of the Company harvesting a greater percentage of boxes, in relation to the estimated total boxes to be harvested for the full season, during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year, ~~leading to~~ a larger percentage of costs ~~being~~were allocated to cost of sales in the ~~current period.~~

The Company also recorded slight increases in its harvesting and hauling expenses and grove management services expenses. The increase in the harvesting and hauling costs is directly related to the increase in the number of boxes harvested being greater in the threesix months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021, when compared to the similar period in the prior year. The increase in~~

~~grove management services is related to and commensurate with an increase in the amount of caretaking services being provided to third party citrus grove owners.~~2022.

The decrease in this revenue is a result of the Company selling ~~approximately 21,700~~certain acres of the Alico ranch, which resulted in the reduction of land covered under grazing and hunting lease contracts. ~~Additionally,~~Partially offsetting this decrease was the ~~modification to~~result of a third-party non-refundable deposit of $120,000 expiring and being recognized as income during the grazing leases resulted in a reduction in the ad valorem taxes due from the lessees, as the Company revised the grazing lease agreements due to the sale of certain of the ranch acres previously covered under the agreement.three and six months ended March 31, 2022.

The ~~slight~~ decrease in operating expenses from Land Management and Other Operations for the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, is primarily due to the reduction of the ad valorem tax expense due to the Company owning fewer ranch acres as a result of the sale of certain acres onof the Alico ranch.

General and administrative ~~expense~~expenses for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021 was~~2022 were approximately ~~$2,584,000,~~$2,538,000, compared to approximately ~~$2,528,000~~$2,653,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease was attributable in large part to (i) an increase of approximately $100,000 relating to a company sponsored incentive for employees to obtain the COVID 19 vaccine, (ii) an increase in stock compensation expense of approximately $110,000 relating to Restricted Stock Units awarded to certain executives and senior managers, and (iii) consulting expenses of approximately $105,000 relating the Company’s Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (“ESG”) implementation strategy and related work. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases relating to (i)reduced payroll expenses of approximately ~~$142,000~~$130,000 primarily relating to the reduction in administrative personnel made during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and during the six months ended March 31, 2022, (ii) a reduction in ~~legal expenses of approximately $70,000, which is primarily the result of~~consulting expense resulting from the Company ~~having incurred additional legal expenses for~~incurring approximately $200,000 in corporate advisory fees in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020 relating to the acquisition of a citrus grove in October 2020,~~2021 and (iii) a reduction in Director’s fees of approximately ~~$42,000,~~$53,000, relating to a modification of the compensation arrangement for the Board of Directors. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases relating to (i) professional fees of approximately $99,000, primarily relating to additional costs incurred with regard to real estate activities and human resources matters and (ii) other smaller increases in investor relations-related fees and accrual for paid time off of approximately $78,000.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $5,122,000, compared to approximately $5,181,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2021. The slight decrease was attributable in large part to (i) reduced payroll expenses of approximately $243,000 primarily relating to the reduction in administrative personnel made during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and during the six months ended March 31, 2022; (ii) a reduction in consulting expense resulting from the Company incurring approximately $200,000 in corporate advisory fees in the six months ended March 31; and (iii) a reduction in Director’s fees of approximately $96,000, relating to a modification of the compensation arrangement for the Board of Directors. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases relating to (i) an increase of approximately $100,000 relating to a company-sponsored incentive for employees to obtain the COVID 19 vaccine; (ii) a net increase in stock compensation expense of approximately $97,000 relating to Restricted Stock awarded to certain executives, senior managers and other employees; (iii) consulting expenses of approximately $120,000 relating the Company’s Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (“ESG”) implementation strategy and related work; and (iv) an increase in accrual for paid time- off of approximately $100,000.

Other income (expense), net for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $25,735,000 and approximately $(1,104,000), respectively. The shift to other income, net from other expense, net is primarily due to gains on sale of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale of approximately $26,604,000 primarily relating to the sale during the current quarter of approximately 6,286 acres, in the aggregate, from the Alico ranch. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had minimal activity relating to the sale of real estate, property and ~~2020,~~equipment and assets held for sale. Additionally, a decrease in interest expense of approximately $219,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was the result of the reduction of its long-term debt attributable to making its mandatory principal payments and certain prepayments.

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately ~~$7,553,000~~$33,288,000 and ~~$2,185,000,~~approximately $1,081,000, respectively. The increase toin other income, net, is primarily due to gains on sale of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale of approximately ~~$8,445,000~~$35,049,000 relating to the sale during the ~~current quarter~~six months ended March 31, 2022 of approximately ~~1,900~~8,226 acres, in the aggregate, from the Alico ranch to several third parties. By comparison, for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company recognized gains of approximately ~~$3,364,000~~$3,347,000 relating to the sale of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale. Additionally, a decrease in interest expense of approximately ~~$288,000~~$507,000 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, was the result of the reduction of its long-term debt attributable to making its mandatory principal payments and certain prepayments.

The income tax ~~benefit~~provision was approximately ~~$3,300,000~~$6,579,000 and $1,579,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $3,279,000 and $2,829,000 for the ~~income~~six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the tax provision ~~was approximately $1,250,000~~ for the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020.

Excluding this tax benefit, the Company would have incurred an income tax provision of approximately ~~$1,578,000.~~$8,157,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company is primarily engaged in the production of fruit for sale to citrus markets, which is of a seasonal nature, and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. Historically, the second and third quarters of Alico’s fiscal year produce most of the Company's annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, coinciding with harvesting cycles. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Alico's business has historically generated full fiscal year positive net cash flows from operating activities, although the net cash flow in the first quarter of each fiscal year has been negative because of seasonality and the associated need to expend cash in advance of generating revenues from the harvesting season. Sources of cash primarily include cash flows from operations, sales of under-performing land and other assets, amounts available under the Company's credit facilities, and access to capital markets. Access to additional borrowings under revolving lines of credit is subject to the satisfaction of customary borrowing conditions. As a public company, Alico may have access to other sources of capital. However, access to, and availability of, financing on acceptable terms in the future will be affected by many factors, including (i) financial condition, prospects, and credit rating; (ii) liquidity of the overall capital markets; and (iii) the state of the economy. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to have access to the capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all.

The principal uses of cash that affect Alico's liquidity position include the following: operating expenses including employee costs, the cost of maintaining the citrus groves, harvesting and hauling of citrus products, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, dividends, debt service costs including interest and principal payments on term loans and other credit facilities and acquisitions.

Management believes that a combination of cash-on-hand, cash generated from operations, asset sales and availability under the Company's lines of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to service the principal and interest payments on its indebtedness and will satisfy working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and over the long term.

Alico has a $70,000,000 working capital line of credit, of which approximately ~~$60,287,000 is~~$69,664,000 was available for general use as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit, all of which iswas available for general use as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 (see Note 5. “Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Additionally, effective May 1, 2021, the Company converted its Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans into interest bearing only loans with a balloon payment of the balance due at maturity, which is November 1, 2029. Such conversion has increased available cash and may be expected to continue to increase the available cash for the foreseeable future. With the increase in available cash, the Company could utilize the available cash for other possible uses such as paying down indebtedness, citrus grove acquisitions, share repurchases, and additional increased dividends. If the Company chooses to pursue significant growth and other corporate opportunities, such as the transaction whereby it acquired 3,280 citrus grove acres on October 30, 2020 for $18,230,000, paying down of indebtedness, engaging in share repurchases or paying increased dividends, these actions could have a material adverse impact on its cash balances and may require the Company to finance such activities by drawing down on its lines of credit or by obtaining additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Any inability to obtain additional financing could adversely impact Alico's ability to pursue different growth and other corporate opportunities.

The level of debt could have important consequences on Alico's business, including, but not limited to, increasing its vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting the availability of cash flow to fund future investments, capital expenditures, working capital, business activities and other general corporate requirements, and limiting flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and industry.

Alico’s credit facilities are subject to various debt covenants including the following financial covenants: (i) minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $160,000,000 increased annually by 10% of consolidated net income for the preceding years, or approximately $173,216,000 applicable for the year ended September 30, 2021; (iii) minimum current ratio of 1.50 to 1.00; (iv) debt to total assets ratio not greater than .625 to 1.00; and (v) solely in the case of the WCLC, a limit on capital expenditures of $30,000,000 per fiscal year. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents, ~~decreased~~and restricted cash increased from approximately $886,000 as of September 30, 2021, to approximately ~~$69,000~~$26,176,000 as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The components of these changes are discussed below.

The ~~increase~~decrease in ~~net~~ cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily attributable to the impact of an increase in ~~gain~~gains on sale of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, relating to the sale of certain sections of the Alico ~~Ranch,~~ranch, as compared to gain on sale of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and the recognition of a charitable deduction associated with the sale of certain acres to the State of Florida, which resulted in the Company recording a tax benefit for the ~~quarter.~~six-month period.

bearing-only loans with a balloon payment of the balance due at ~~maturity, which is~~the November 1, ~~2029.~~2029 maturity. Additionally, there were greater net payments on the borrowings under the lines of credit in the six months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting this decrease was the result of the Company, in June 2021, increasing the annual dividend rate to $2.00 per common share, from $0.72 per common share.

The Company had ~~approximately $9,377,000 and $12,204,000~~$0 outstanding on its revolving lines of credit as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020, respectively.~~2021.
