Alico, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALCO ) Q4 2024 Earnings Call Transcript December 2, 2024 8:30 AM ET Company Participants John Kiernan - President and CEO Brad Heine - CFO Operator Welcome to Alico's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended 2024 Earnings Conference Call.

Alico: Hurricane Milton's Potential Impact And Earnings Preview
Alico owns ~48,000 acres of citrus groves in Florida. Hurricane Milton likely damaged Alico's citrus groves for the upcoming 2025 season. However, the company's current valuation is low compared to the redevelopment potential of the citrus groves into residential real estate.
Alico: A Post-Hurricane Buying Opportunity May Be Presenting Itself
Alico has an abundance of asset value hidden away in the land that it owns. If Alico completes an entitlement of its 4,500 acres at its Corkscrew grove site then the company could see its net asset value increase from $32.01 to $51.13 per share. The upcoming uncertainty surrounding the impacts of Hurricane Milton on Florida may present investors with buying opportunities in the days and weeks ahead.
Alico: Florida Land Value Realization
Florida land is becoming increasingly scarce and valuable, with Alico offering a cheap entry at $5,500 per acre. Alico's land value is estimated at $9,000 per acre, suggesting a 60% upside, but realizing this value could take years and face operational costs. Alico's citrus operations face challenges like Hurricane Ian damage and Citrus Greening, but improvements are expected with new deals, grants, and better treatments.

Alico: The Value Is In The Land
Alico, Inc is a citrus grower and land management company in Florida, trading near 52-week highs. Alico has strong balance sheets, with high shareholder equity and a price/book value of 0.81, making it a potential value play. Despite risks such as hurricanes and citrus diseases, Alico's recent deal with Tropicana and discount to book value make it a buy for value investors.
The Bottom Fishing Club: Buy Alico's Florida Orange Groves At 50% Discount
Alico is a Florida orange grove owner with 54,000+ acres, making it one of the largest U.S. citrus growers. Management estimates its grove and land holdings are worth as much as $635 million based on comparable property sales vs. $114 million listed on its balance sheet at cost. Using company numbers, I estimate a minimum after-tax liquidation value of $51 is available for investors at $26 per share today.
Alico: Thesis Playing Out; Maintain Buy
Alico's citrus groves were negatively impacted by Hurricane Ian in 2023, but improvements are expected in the current harvest. ALCO recently sold off the Alico Ranch, allowing the company to delever. The Company's current portfolio of citrus groves underpin $44/share in real estate value.
