Limoneira Company has reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The company, which is involved in citrus growing, packing, selling, and marketing, saw a decrease in total net revenue to $35.1 million, down from $44.6 million in the same period the previous year. Agribusiness revenue declined to $33.6 million from $43.3 million, while other operations revenue increased slightly to $1.5 million from $1.3 million. For the first six months ended April 30, 2025, total net revenue was $69.4 million, a decline from $84.3 million in the same period of fiscal year 2024. This decrease was primarily attributed to reduced lemon revenues, although there were increases in avocado and orange agribusiness revenues. The company's net loss applicable to common stock for the first six months was $6.7 million, contrasting with a net income of $2.7 million during the same period the previous year. Limoneira also reported a net loss per diluted share of $0.38 for the first six months. Limoneira announced plans to merge its citrus sales and marketing operations with Sunkist Growers, which is expected to generate $5 million in annual selling and marketing cost savings and EBITDA improvement starting in fiscal year 2026. Despite challenges, the avocado business continued to perform strongly in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, and the company reiterated its avocado volume guidance for the year. Limoneira aims to enhance its market position and operational resilience by expanding avocado production, advancing real estate development, and leveraging its land and water assets.
