The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not comparable to prior years’ results, as the Partnership retained a significantly larger portion of its macadamia nuts for manufacture into its branded products or for sale in bulk kernel form following the expiration of certain macadamia nut purchase contracts with Mauna Loa. Additionally, on June 30, 2014, the Partnership terminated its lease on its Mauna Kea orchard and sold its trees to the landlord for consideration of $1.5 million, triggering a non-cash loss of $1.8 million on the transaction. The increase in net revenues for the period was attributable primarily to an increase in branded product sales over the same period in 2013.
The Partnership is one of the leading growers and processors of macadamia nuts in the world, processing and marketing macadamia nuts in-shell, in bulk kernel form and asbetter for you snack products marketed under the Royal Hawaiian Orchards® brand name.
