Alico 2025 Q3 Earnings Record Loss Widens 859.9%

Alico (ALCO) reported its fiscal 2025 Q3 earnings on August 12, 2025. The results showed a sharp decline in performance, with revenue and earnings deteriorating significantly compared to the prior-year period. While the company emphasized progress in its strategic transformation, it provided no forward-looking guidance.

Alico reported a total revenue of $7.80 million in Q3 2025, a 41.0% decrease from $13.24 million in the same period the prior year. The company’s operating revenues totaled $8.39 million, including $585,000 from Land Management and Other Operations. The significant drop in revenue reflects ongoing challenges in the citrus segment, which remains the core of the company’s operations.

The earnings performance was sharply negative. Alico reported a net loss of $18.32 million for the quarter, representing an 859.9% increase from the $1.91 million loss in Q3 2024. On a per-share basis, the loss widened to $2.39, up from $0.27 the prior year, marking a 785.2% increase in losses.

Following the earnings release, the stock price of Alico edged up 1.93% during the latest trading day and climbed 3.26% over the most recent full trading week. However, the post-earnings strategy of buying ALCO after an earnings beat and selling after 30 days yielded a modest 6.00% return, significantly underperforming the benchmark, which returned 40.81%. This resulted in an excess return of -34.82% and a CAGR of 1.50%. While the strategy exhibited a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.09, indicating a low risk profile, the poor absolute performance remains a concern.

John Kiernan, President and Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the completion of Alico’s final major citrus harvest and emphasized the company’s pivot toward becoming a diversified land company. Notable achievements included $9.3 million in asset sales from land and equipment and $16.0 million in crop insurance proceeds, which strengthened Alico’s cash position to $42.1 million. Kiernan also noted progress on the Corkscrew Grove Villages project and the formation of the Corkscrew Grove Stewardship District and its governance board. The CEO expressed optimism about the company’s long-term positioning and financial flexibility.

The company provided no explicit forward-looking guidance or numerical expectations in the third quarter 2025 earnings report. Management did not include statements such as “we expect” or “we guide to” regarding future earnings, revenue, or strategic metrics. Instead, the CEO and leadership focused on current accomplishments and ongoing initiatives without outlining specific future performance targets or projections.
