Alico, Inc. announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and the nine months ended June 30, 2020. With the recent execution of two new Citrus supply agreements, the company now has contracts in place that provide for prices per pound solid over the next several years which will be greater than the current year’s prices per pound solid. Company entered into a new long-term agreement to provide citrus grove management for approximately 7,000 acres in southwestern Florida.
The coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) did not impact the Company’s fiscal year 2020 harvest and has not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s overall business operations.

Results of Operations
For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company earned net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of approximately $6.5 million and earnings of $0.86 per diluted common share, compared to net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of approximately $21.3 million and earnings of $2.85 per diluted common share for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net income attributable to Alico common stockholders is primarily due to a decline in the market price per pound solids for citrus fruit this past 2019/2020 harvest season because of unfavorable industry supply dynamics and a decrease in processed box production caused by greater fruit drop in the current harvest season as compared to the 2018/2019 harvest season. Partially offsetting this decrease was (i) funds awarded through the federal disaster relief program, (ii) a reduction in certain general and administrative costs and (iii) a gain on the sale of certain parcels on the east side of the Alico Ranch.

When both periods are adjusted for certain non-recurring items, the Company had adjusted net income of $0.25 per diluted common share for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, compared to adjusted net income of $3.26 per diluted common share for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $17.7 million and $48.1 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 our working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.
