•negative impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effectiveness of our Company's responses to the pandemic;
•changes in laws, regulations, rules, quotas, tariffs, and import laws;
•adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other adverse natural conditions, including freezes, rains, fires, winds and droughts that affect the production, transportation, storage, import and export of fresh produce;
•market responses to industry volume pressures;
•increased pressure from disease, insects and other pests;
•disruption of water supplies or changes in water allocations;
•disruption in the global supply chain;

•ability to maintain compliance with covenants under our loan agreements;
•loss of important intellectual property rights; and
•other factors disclosed in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that we have identified as having the potential to cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated herein. We have described in Part I, Item 1A-"Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projections or estimates, especially relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by, and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks.

The Company's actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Additional risks of which the Company is not currently aware or which the Company currently deems immaterial could also cause the Company's actual results to differ, including those discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.

LIMONEIRA COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Business

Limoneira Company (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") engages primarily in growing citrus and avocados, picking and hauling citrus, and packing, marketing and selling citrus. The Company is also engaged in residential rentals and other rental operations and real estate development activities.

The Company markets and sells citrus directly to food service, wholesale and retail customers throughout the United States, Canada, Asia, Europe and other international markets. The Company is a member of Sunkist Growers, Inc. ("Sunkist"), an agricultural marketing cooperative, and sells a portion of its oranges, specialty citrus and other crops to Sunkist-licensed and other third-party packinghouses.

Through fiscal year 2021, the Company sold the majority of its avocado production to Calavo Growers, Inc. ("Calavo"), a packing and marketing company listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CVGW. In February 2022, the Company terminated its Avocado Marketing Agreement and the associated Letter Agreement Regarding Fruit Commitment with Calavo to pursue opportunities with other packing and marketing companies.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all the subsidiaries and investments in which the Company holds a controlling interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) represents all changes in a company's net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with stockholders. Other comprehensive income or loss primarily includes foreign currency translation items and defined benefit pension items. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported as a component of the Company's stockholders' equity.

There is uncertainty around the breadth and duration of the Company's business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in demand for the Company's products beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, which it believes was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, negatively impacted its sales and profitability for the last three quarters of fiscal year 2020, all of fiscal year 2021, and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2022. The Company also expects COVID-19 to impact its sales and profitability in future periods. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts are uncertain and therefore cannot be estimated at this time, as they are influenced by a number of factors, many of which are outside management's control. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, including its ability to comply with debt covenants, for fiscal year 2022 and beyond, is driven by estimates that contain uncertainties.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity

This amendment simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models currently required under GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas.

ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this ASU effective November 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

East Area I, Retained Property and East Area II

In fiscal year 2005, the Company began capitalizing the costs of two real estate development projects east of Santa Paula, California, for the development of 550 acres of land into residential units, commercial buildings and civic facilities. In November 2015 (the "Transaction Date"), the Company entered into a joint venture with The Lewis Group of Companies ("Lewis") for the residential development of its East Area I real estate development project. To consummate the transaction, the Company formed Limoneira Lewis Community Builders, LLC ("LLCB") as the development entity, contributed its East Area I property to LLCB and sold a 50% interest in LLCB to Lewis for $20,000,000.

The Company and LLCB also entered into a Retained Property Development Agreement on the Transaction Date (the "Retained Property Agreement"). Under the terms of the Retained Property Agreement, LLCB transferred certain contributed East Area I property, which is entitled for commercial development, back to the Company (the "Retained Property") and arranged for the design and construction of certain improvements to the Retained Property, subject to certain reimbursements by the Company. The balance in Retained Property and East Area II includes estimated costs incurred by and reimbursable to LLCB of $5,771,000 at April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, which is included in payables to related parties.

In January 2018, LLCB entered into a $45,000,000 unsecured Line of Credit Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (the "Loan") with Bank of America, N.A. to fund early development activities. The Loan, as modified and extended, matures February 22, 2023. The interest rate on the Loan is LIBOR plus 2.85% and is payable monthly. The Loan contains certain customary default provisions and LLCB may prepay any amounts outstanding under the Loan without penalty. The joint venture had an outstanding balance of $1,000,000 as of April 30, 2022. The Loan has a one year extension option through February 22, 2024 subject to terms and conditions as defined in the agreement, with the maximum borrowing amount reduced to $35,000,000 during the extension period.

In February 2018, the Company and certain principals from Lewis guaranteed the obligations under the Loan. The guarantee shall continue in effect until all of the Loan obligations are fully paid and the guarantors are jointly and severally liable for all Loan obligations in the event of default by LLCB. The $1,080,000 estimated value of the guarantee was recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and is included in other long-term liabilities with a corresponding value in equity in investments. Additionally, a Reimbursement Agreement was executed between the Lewis guarantors and the Company, which provides for unpaid liabilities of LLCB to be shared pro-rata by the Lewis guarantors and the Company in proportion to their percentage interest in LLCB.

Through April 30, 2022, LLCB has closed sales of initial residential lots representing 586 residential units.

The Company received cash and a $3,000,000 promissory note secured by the property for the balance of the purchase. The promissory note was originally scheduled to mature in December 2019, but was periodically extended with principal payments totaling $400,000 received through October 31, 2021. In November 2021, the promissory note was further extended to June 30, 2022 upon making a principal paydown of $250,000, which was paid in November 2021, and revising the interest rate to 4.00% per annum.

The MLA subjects the Company to affirmative and restrictive covenants including, among other customary covenants, financial reporting requirements, requirements to maintain and repair any collateral, restrictions on the sale of assets, restrictions on the use of proceeds, prohibitions on the incurrence of additional debt and restrictions on the purchase or sale of major assets of the Company's business.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the more dilutive method of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as participating shares are included in computing earnings per share. The Company's unvested, restricted stock awards qualify as participating shares. Diluted net loss per common share was calculated under the two-class method for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022. The Company excluded 178,000, unvested, restricted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, from its computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 185,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is from time to time involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. At this time, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that it expects will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results. Legal claims are inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and/or operating results could be adversely affected in the future by legal proceedings.

The Company is party to a lawsuit, initiated on March 27, 2018, against Southern California Edison in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles whereby the Company is claiming unspecified damages, attorneys' fees and other costs, as a result from the Thomas Fire in fiscal year 2018. While the outcome of this lawsuit is uncertain, the Company believes its claim for damages is valid.

17. Stock-based Compensation and Treasury Stock

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan (the "Stock Plan") that allows for the grant of common stock of the Company to members of management, key executives and non-employee directors. The fair value of such awards is based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of grant and all are classified as equity awards.

Performance Awards

Certain restricted stock grants are made to management each December under the Stock Plan based on the achievement of certain annual financial performance and other criteria achieved during the previous fiscal year ("Performance Awards"). The Performance Awards are based on a percentage of the employee's base salary divided by the stock price on the grant date once the performance criteria has been met, and generally vest over a two-year period as service is provided. There were no Performance Awards granted for fiscal year 2021 because the financial performance and other criteria were not met.

Executive Awards

Certain restricted stock grants are made to key executives under the Stock Plan ("Executive Awards"). Executive awards generally vest over a threeto five-year period as service is provided. During December 2021, the Company granted 70,000 shares of common stock with a per share price of $14.96 to key executives under the Stock Plan, of which 15,000 shares were forfeited on February 1, 2022 pursuant to a key executive's severance agreement. The related compensation expense after forfeiture of approximately $823,000 will be recognized equally over the next three years as the shares vest.

18. Segment Information

The Company operates in four reportable operating segments: fresh lemons, lemon packing, avocados and other agribusiness. The reportable operating segments of the Company are strategic business units with different products and services, distribution processes and customer bases. The fresh lemons segment includes sales, farming and harvesting expenses and third-party grower and supplier costs relative to fresh lemons. The lemon packing segment includes packing revenues and shipping and handling revenues relative to lemon packing. The lemon packing segment expenses are comprised of lemon packing costs. The lemon packing segment revenues include intersegment revenues between fresh lemons and lemon packing. The intersegment revenues are included gross in the segment note and a separate line item is shown as an elimination. The avocados segment includes sales, farming and harvest costs. The other agribusiness segment includes sales, farming and harvest costs of oranges, specialty citrus and other crops.

Revenues related to rental operations are included in "Corporate and Other."

The Company does not separately allocate depreciation and amortization to its fresh lemons, lemon packing, avocados and other agribusiness segments. No asset information is provided for reportable operating segments, as these specified amounts are not included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. The Company measures operating performance, including revenues and operating income, of its operating segments and allocates resources based on its evaluation. The Company does not allocate selling, general and administrative expense, total other income (expense) and income taxes, or specifically identify them to its operating segments. The Company earns packing revenue for packing lemons grown on its orchards and lemons procured from third-party growers and suppliers. Intersegment revenues represent packing revenues related to lemons grown on the Company's orchards.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Limoneira Company, a Delaware corporation, is the successor to several businesses with operations in California since 1893. We are primarily an agribusiness company founded and based in Santa Paula, California, committed to responsibly using and managing our approximately 15,400 acres of land, water resources and other assets to maximize long-term stockholder value. Our current operations consist of fruit production, sales and marketing, rental operations, real estate and capital investment activities.
We are one of California's oldest citrus growers. According to Sunkist Growers, Inc. ("Sunkist"), we are one of the largest growers of lemons in the United States and, according to the California Avocado Commission, one of the largest growers of avocados in the United States. In addition to growing lemons and avocados, we grow oranges and a variety of specialty citrus and other crops. We have agricultural plantings throughout Ventura, Tulare, San Luis Obispo and San Bernardino Counties in California, Yuma County in Arizona, La Serena, Chile and Jujuy, Argentina, which collectively consist of approximately 6,100 acres of lemons, 800 acres of avocados, 1,000 acres of oranges and 900 acres of specialty citrus and other crops. We also operate our own packinghouses in Santa Paula and Oxnard, California and Yuma, Arizona, where we process, pack and sell lemons that we grow, as well as lemons grown by others. We have a 47% interest in Rosales S.A. ("Rosales"), a citrus packing, marketing and sales business, a 90% interest in Fruticola Pan de Azucar S.A. ("PDA"), a lemon and orange orchard and 100% interest in Agricola San Pablo, SpA ("San Pablo"), a lemon and orange orchard, all of which are located near La Serena, Chile. We have a 51% interest in a joint venture, Trapani Fresh Consorcio de Cooperacion ("Trapani Fresh"), a lemon orchard in Argentina.
Our water resources include water rights, usage rights and pumping rights to the water in aquifers under, and canals that run through, the land we own. Water for our farming operations is sourced from the existing water resources associated with our land, which includes rights to water in the adjudicated Santa Paula Basin (aquifer) and the un-adjudicated Fillmore and Paso Robles Basins (aquifers). We use ground water from the San Joaquin Valley Basin and water from local water and irrigation districts in Tulare County, which is in California's San Joaquin Valley. We also use ground water from the Cadiz Valley Basin in California's San Bernardino County and surface water in Arizona from the Colorado River through the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District ("YMIDD"). We use ground water provided by wells and surface water for our PDA and San Pablo farming operations in Chile and our Trapani Fresh farming operations in Argentina.
For more than 100 years, we have been making strategic investments in California agriculture and real estate. We currently have an interest in three real estate development projects in California. These projects include multi-family housing and single-family homes of approximately 900 units in various stages of planning and development.
Business Division Summary
We have three business divisions: agribusiness, rental operations and real estate development. The agribusiness division is comprised of four reportable operating segments: fresh lemons, lemon packing, avocados and other agribusiness, which includes oranges, specialty citrus and other crops. The agribusiness division includes our core operations of farming, harvesting, lemon packing and lemon sales operations. The rental operations division includes our residential and commercial rentals, leased land operations and organic recycling. The real estate development division includes our investments in real estate development projects. Financial information and discussion of our four reportable segments are contained in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Agribusiness Summary

We market and sell citrus directly to our food service, wholesale and retail customers throughout the United States, Canada, Asia, Australia, Europe and certain other international markets. We are one of the largest growers of lemons and avocados in the United States. In fiscal year 2021, we sold a majority of our avocados to Calavo Growers, Inc. ("Calavo"). Additionally, we sell our pistachios to a roaster, packager and marketer of nuts, and our wine grapes to various wine producers.

Historically, our agribusiness division has been seasonal in nature with quarterly revenue fluctuating depending on the timing and variety of crops being harvested. Cultural costs in our agribusiness division tend to be higher in the first and second quarters and lower in the third and fourth quarters because of the timing of expensing cultural costs in the current year that were inventoried in the prior year. Our harvest costs generally increase in the second quarter and peak in the third quarter, coinciding with the increasing production and revenue.
Fluctuations in price are a function of global supply and demand with weather conditions, such as unusually low temperatures, typically having the most dramatic effect on the amount of lemons supplied in any individual growing season. We believe we have a
25

competitive advantage by maintaining our own lemon packing operations, even though a significant portion of the costs related to these operations are fixed. As a result, cost per carton is a function of fruit throughput. While we regularly monitor our costs for redundancies and opportunities for cost reductions, we also supplement the number of lemons we pack in our packinghouse with additional lemons procured from other growers. Because the fresh utilization rate for our lemons, or percentage of lemons we harvest and pack that are sold to the fresh market, is directly related to the quality of lemons we pack and, consequently, the price we receive per 40-pound box, we only pack lemons from other growers if we determine their lemons are of good quality.
Our avocado producing business is important to us, yet it faces constraints on growth as there is little additional land with sufficient water that can be cost-effectively acquired to support new avocado orchards in Southern California. Also, avocado production is cyclical as avocados typically bear fruit on a bi-annual basis with large crops in one year followed by smaller crops the next year. While our avocado production can be volatile, the profitability and cash flow realized from our avocados helps to diversify our fruit production base.
In addition to growing lemons and avocados, we grow oranges, specialty citrus and other crops, typically utilizing land not suitable for growing high quality lemons. We regularly monitor the demand for the fruit we grow in the ever-changing marketplace to identify trends. For instance, while per capita consumption of oranges in the United States has been decreasing since 2000 primarily as a result of consumers increasing their consumption of mandarin oranges and other specialty citrus, the international market demand for U.S. oranges has increased. As a result, we have focused our orange production on high quality late season Navel oranges primarily for export to Japan, China and Korea, which are typically highly profitable niche markets. We produce our specialty citrus and other crops in response to identified consumer trends and believe that we are a leader in the niche production and sale of certain of these high margin fruits. We carefully monitor the respective markets of specialty citrus and other crops and we believe that demand for the types and varieties of specialty citrus and other crops that we grow will continue to increase throughout the world.
Rental Operations Summary
Our rental operations include our residential and commercial rentals, leased land operations and organic recycling. Our residential rental units generate reliable cash flows that we use to partially fund the operating costs of our business and provide affordable housing to many of our employees, including our agribusiness employees. This unique employment benefit helps us maintain a dependable, long-term employee base. In addition, our leased land business provides us with a typically profitable diversification. Revenue from rental operations is generally level throughout the year.

Real Estate Development Summary

We invest in real estate investment projects and recognize that long-term strategies are required for successful real estate development activities. Our goal is to redeploy real estate earnings and cash flow into the expansion of our agribusiness and other income producing real estate. For real estate development projects and joint ventures, it is not unusual for the timing and amounts of revenues and costs, partner contributions and distributions, project loans, other financing assumptions and project cash flows to be impacted by government approvals, project revenue and cost estimates and assumptions, economic conditions, financing sources and product demand as well as other factors. Such factors could affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.
Water and Mineral Rights
Our water resources include water rights, usage rights and pumping rights to the water in aquifers under, and canals that run through, the land we own. Water for our farming operations is sourced from the existing water resources associated with our land, which includes rights to water in the adjudicated Santa Paula Basin (aquifer) and the un-adjudicated Fillmore and Paso Robles Basins (aquifers). We use ground water and water from local water districts in Tulare County and ground water in San Bernardino County. Following our acquisition of Associated Citrus Packers, Inc. ("Associated"), we began using federal project water in Arizona from the Colorado River through the YMIDD. We also have acquired water rights in Chile related to our acquisitions of PDA and San Pablo.

We use a combination of ground water provided by wells that derive water from the San Joaquin Valley Basin and water from various water districts and irrigation districts in Tulare County, California, which is in the agriculturally productive San Joaquin Valley. We use ground water provided by wells which derive water from the Cadiz Valley Basin at the Cadiz Ranch in San Bernardino County, California. Our Windfall Farms property located in San Luis Obispo County, California obtains water from wells that derive water from the Paso Robles Basin. Our Associated farming operations in Yuma, Arizona source water from the Colorado River through the YMIDD, where we have access to approximately 11,700-acre feet of Class 3 Colorado River water rights. We use ground water provided by wells and surface water for our PDA and San Pablo farming operations in La Serena, Chile and our Trapani Fresh farming operations in Argentina.

California has experienced below average precipitation since 2018. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Ventura and San Bernardino Counties were experiencing severe drought conditions and Tulare County was experiencing extreme drought conditions as of April 30, 2022. In October 2021, the California Governor declared a drought state of emergency statewide. Federal officials who oversee the Central Valley Project, California's largest water delivery system, allocated 0% of the contracted amount of water to San Joaquin Valley farmers in 2022 compared to 5% in 2021 and 100% in 2017 through 2020. We are assessing the impact these reductions may have on our California orchards.

In August 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation declared a Level 1 Shortage Condition at Lake Mead in the Lower Colorado River Basin for the first time ever, requiring shortage reductions and water savings contributions for states in the southwest. Beginning January 1, 2022, Arizona experienced water releases from Lake Mead reduced by approximately 18% of the state's annual apportionment. We are assessing the impact these reductions may have on our Arizona orchards.

Recent Developments

We are equal partners in a joint venture with The Lewis Group of Companies ("Lewis") for the residential development of our East Area I real estate development project and formed Limoneira Lewis Community Builders, LLC ("LLCB") as the development entity. LLCB has closed on lot sales representing 586 units from inception through April 30, 2022. For further information see Note 5 - Real Estate Development of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In September 2021, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Wileman Bros. & Elliott, Inc. ("Wileman"), to form an alliance to sell their combined citrus volumes under Limoneira's One World of Citrus trademark. Wileman is a 95-year-old citrus business located in California's Central Valley with a focus on oranges, mandarins and specialty citrus. Effective November 1, 2021, the majority of our oranges and certain specialty citrus are packed by Wileman.

In February 2022, we terminated our Avocado Marketing Agreement and the associated Letter Agreement Regarding Fruit Commitment with Calavo to pursue opportunities with other packing and marketing companies.

In January 2022, we were notified of Alex M. Teague's decision to retire as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of our Company, effective February 1, 2022. In connection with his retirement, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Teague whereas, (i) Mr. Teague was paid one year of his annual base salary, which was paid in one lump sum within ninety (90) business days of January 12, 2022; (ii) twenty-three thousand nine hundred ninety-nine (23,999) shares of our common stock granted to Mr. Teague pursuant to the Limoneira Company Omnibus Incentive Plan fully vested; and (iii) Mr. Teague will receive certain other benefits as set forth in the agreement. As of April 30, 2022, we paid $0.4 million cash severance and recognized $0.3 million accelerated vesting of stock-based compensation.

In March 2022, we signed an agreement to lease Finca Santa Clara, our 1,200-acre lemon ranch in Argentina, to FGF Trapani ("FGF"), our 49% partner in Trapani Fresh. The lease is retroactive beginning November 1, 2021, with a term of 14 months at a fixed sum of $400,000, payable in five equal, monthly installments beginning August 2022 until December 2022.

In April 2022, the promissory note previously received for the sale of our Centennial property, with net a carrying value of $2,350,000, was paid in full and the deferred gain of $161,000 was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.

On March 23, 2022, we declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per common share paid on April 14, 2022, in the aggregate amount of $1.3 million to stockholders of record as of April 5, 2022.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the industries and markets in which we conduct business. In particular, the United States lemon market saw a significant decline in volume, with lemon demand falling since widespread shelter in place orders were issued in March 2020, resulting in a significant market oversupply. The export market for fresh produce also significantly
27

declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacts. As of April 30, 2022, the demand within both markets is recovering but has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels.

The decline in demand for our products beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, which we believe was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, negatively impacted our sales and profitability for the last three quarters of fiscal year 2020, all of fiscal year 2021, and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2022. We also expect COVID-19 to impact our sales and profitability in future periods. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts cannot be estimated at this time, as they are influenced by a number of factors, many of which are outside management's control, including, but not limited, to those presented in Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2021. Notwithstanding the adverse impacts and subject to unforeseen changes that may arise as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we currently expect improvement in fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021.

Given the economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years, we have taken actions to improve our current liquidity position, including temporarily postponing capital expenditures, selling equity securities to increase cash, reducing operating costs, and substantially reducing discretionary spending.

Although we are considered an essential business, there is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of our business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy, the ongoing business operations of our customers and our results of operations and financial condition. Our management team is actively monitoring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions altering our business operations that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and customers or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022 and beyond cannot be fully estimated at this point. The following discussions are subject to the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Due to significant depreciable assets associated with the nature of our operations and interest costs associated with our capital structure, management believes that earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes named executive officer severance and loss (gain) on disposal of assets, are important measures to evaluate our results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information provided is unique to us and may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are summarized and reconciled to net income (loss) attributable to Limoneira Company which management considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as follows (in thousands):

Revenues
Total net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $46.8 million, compared to $45.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The 4% increase of $1.6 million was primarily the result of increased avocados and oranges agribusiness revenues, partially offset by decreased lemon agribusiness revenues, as detailed below ($ in thousands):

Agribusiness Revenues for the Three Months Ended April 30,
2022 2021 Change
Lemons $ 37,735 $ 38,703 $ (968) (3)%

Specialty citrus and other crops 1,441 1,175 266 23%
Agribusiness revenues $ 45,369 $ 43,989 $ 1,380 3%
•Lemons: The decrease in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily the result of lower prices, partially offset by higher volume of fresh lemons sold, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. During the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, fresh lemon sales were $27.3 million and $28.7 million, in aggregate, on 1,552,000 and 1,528,000 cartons of lemons sold at average per carton prices of $17.57 and $18.79, respectively. Lemon revenues in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 included shipping and handling of $6.7 million and $6.1 million, brokered fruit and other lemon sales of $2.7 million and $2.3 million and lemon by-product sales of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
•Avocados: The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily the result of higher prices, partially offset by decreased volume of avocados sold, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. During the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, 1,877,000 and 2,142,000 pounds of avocados were sold at an average per pound price of $1.90 and $1.26, respectively.
•Oranges: The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily the result of increased volume, partially offset by lower prices of oranges sold, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. In the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, we sold 328,000 and 154,000 40-pound carton equivalents of oranges at an average per carton price of $7.98 and $9.12, respectively.
•Specialty citrus and other crops: The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily the result of increased volume, partially offset by lower prices of specialty citrus sold, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. During the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, we sold 254,000 and 129,000 40-pound carton equivalents of specialty citrus at an average per carton price of $5.68 and $9.11, respectively.

Other operations revenue in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 was $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Costs and Expenses
Our total costs and expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $44.2 million, compared to $42.7 million in the same period of fiscal year 2021. The 3% increase of $1.4 million was primarily attributable to increases in our packing costs and growing costs, partially offset by decreases in our third-party grower and supplier costs. Costs and expenses associated with our agribusiness division include packing costs, harvest costs, growing costs, costs related to the fruit we procure and sell for third-party growers and suppliers and depreciation and amortization expense, as detailed below ($ in thousands):

Agribusiness Costs and Expenses for the Three Months Ended April 30,
2022 2021 Change
Packing costs $ 12,277 $ 11,653 $ 624 5%
Harvest costs 5,566 5,520 46 1%
Growing costs 7,997 6,713 1,284 19%
Third-party grower and supplier costs 9,572 10,271 (699) (7)%
Depreciation and amortization 2,187 2,285 (98) (4)%
Agribusiness costs and expenses $ 37,599 $ 36,442 $ 1,157 3%

•Packing costs: Packing costs primarily consist of the costs to pack lemons for sale such as labor and benefits, cardboard cartons, fruit treatments, packing and shipping supplies and facility operating costs. In the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, lemon packing costs were $11.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, we packed and sold 1,552,000 and 1,528,000 cartons of lemons at average per carton costs of $7.51 and $7.12, respectively. The increase in average per carton cost is primarily due to costs of labor and benefits, cardboard cartons, fruit treatments and packaging and shipping supplies from inflation and supply chain issues. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, packing costs included $0.6 million and $0.8 million of shipping costs, respectively.
•Harvest costs: Harvest costs in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were similar to the same period in fiscal year 2021.
•Growing costs: Growing costs, also referred to as cultural costs, consist of orchard maintenance costs such as cultivation, fertilization and soil amendments, pest control, pruning and irrigation. The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily due to farm management decisions based on weather, harvest timing and crop conditions and inflation and supply chain issues.
•Third-party grower and supplier costs: We sell fruit that we grow and fruit that we procure from other growers and suppliers. The cost of procuring fruit from other growers is referred to as third-party grower and supplier costs. The decrease in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily due to lower prices, partially offset by increased volume of third-party grower fruit sold, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. Of the 1,552,000 and 1,528,000 cartons of lemons packed and sold during the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, 795,000 (51%) and 758,000 (50%) were procured from third-party growers at average per carton prices of $10.13 and $12.92, respectively. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 we incurred $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of costs for purchased, packed fruit for resale.
•Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 was $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Other operations expenses were $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021.

Selling, general and administrative costs and expenses were $5.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Other (Expense) Income

Other expense in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was comprised primarily of $(0.7) million of net interest expense, partially offset by $0.3 million of equity in earnings of investments. Other income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 was comprised primarily of $0.6 million of equity in earnings of investments, partially offset by $(0.6) million of net interest expense.

Income Taxes
We recorded an estimated income tax provision of $0.7 million and $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 on pre-tax income of $2.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The tax provision recorded for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to foreign jurisdictions which are taxed at different rates, state taxes, tax impact of stock-based compensation, and nondeductible tax items. Our projected annual effective blended tax rate for fiscal year 2022, excluding discrete items, is approximately 32.5%.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents 10% and 49% of the net (income) loss of PDA and Trapani Fresh, respectively.

Segment Results of Operations
We operate in four reportable operating segments: fresh lemons, lemon packing, avocados and other agribusiness. Our reportable operating segments are strategic business units with different products and services, distribution processes and customer bases. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. Each segment is subject to review and evaluations related to current market conditions, market opportunities and available resources. See Note 18 - Segment Information of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our operating segments.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the first six months of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 were similar at $0.6 million.


Seasonal Operations
Historically, our agribusiness operations have been seasonal in nature with quarterly revenue fluctuating depending on the timing and the variety of crops being harvested. Cultural costs in our agribusiness tend to be higher in the first and second quarters and lower in the third and fourth quarters because of the timing of expensing cultural costs in the current year that were inventoried in the prior year. Our harvest costs generally increase in the second quarter and peak in the third quarter coinciding with the increasing production and revenue. Due to this seasonality and to avoid the inference that interim results are indicative of the estimated results for a full fiscal year, we present supplemental information for 12-month periods ended at the interim date for the current and preceding years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash flows generated from our operations and use of our revolving credit facility. Our liquidity and capital position fluctuates during the year depending on seasonal production cycles, weather events and demand for our products. Typically, our first and last fiscal quarters coincide with the fall and winter months during which we are growing crops that are harvested and sold in the spring and summer, which are our second and third quarters. To meet working capital demand and investment requirements of our agribusiness and real estate development projects and to supplement operating cash flows, we utilize our revolving credit facility to fund agricultural inputs and farm management practices until sufficient returns from crops allow us to repay amounts borrowed. Raw materials needed to propagate the various crops grown by us consist primarily of fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides, fuel and water, all of which are readily available from local sources.

Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of purchase obligations, long-term fixed rate and variable rate debt and related interest payments, operating and finance leases and our noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan ("the Plan"). In fiscal year 2021, we decided to terminate the Plan effective December 31, 2021. The liabilities disclosed as of April 30, 2022, reflect an estimate of the additional cost to pay lump sums to a portion of the active and vested terminated participants and purchase annuities for all remaining participants from an insurance company. See Note 10 - Long-Term Debt, Note 11 - Leases and Note 15 - Retirement Plans to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for amounts outstanding as of April 30, 2022, related to debt, leases and the Plan. Purchase obligations consist of contracts primarily related to packing supplies and pollination services, the majority of which are due in the next three years.

We believe that the cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity from our existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our capital expenditures, debt service, working capital needs and other contractual obligations for the next twelve months. In addition, we have the ability to control a portion of our investing cash flows to the extent necessary based on our liquidity demands.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the six months ended April 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 2021. The significant components of our cash flows used in operating activities were as follows:
•Net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 was $5.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The components of net loss in the six months ended April 30, 2022, compared to the net loss in the same period in fiscal year 2021 consist of an increase in operating loss of $3.7 million, a decrease in total other income of $0.6 million and an increase in income tax benefit of $1.7 million.
•Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash (used in) provided by operating activities:
◦Provided $5.0 million and $6.0 million in the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily due to depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense and deferred income taxes.
◦Changes in operating assets and liabilities (used) provided $(1.1) million and $1.1 million of operating cash in the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily due to accounts receivables/other from related parties, cultural costs, prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued liabilities and payables to related parties.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
•Capital expenditures were $4.1 million in the six months ended April 30, 2022, comprised of $3.9 million for property, plant and equipment primarily related to orchard development and $0.2 million for real estate development projects.
•Capital expenditures were $5.4 million in the six months ended April 30, 2021, comprised of $5.2 million for property, plant and equipment primarily related to orchard and vineyard development and $0.2 million for real estate development projects.





40

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
•The $2.3 million of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily comprised of net borrowings of long-term debt in the amount of $6.5 million, partially offset by common and preferred dividends, in aggregate, of $2.9 million and the exchange of common stock of $1.1 million.
•The $1.9 million of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2021 was primarily comprised of net borrowings of long-term debt in the amount of $5.5 million, partially offset by common and preferred dividends, in aggregate, of $2.9 million.

Transactions Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt

We finance our working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through cash from operations and our Farm Credit West Credit Facility, which includes the MLA, Supplements and Revolving Equity Line of Credit (the "RELOC"). In addition, we have the Farm Credit West term loans, Banco de Chile term loans and COVID-19 loans, and a note payable to the sellers of a land parcel. Additional information regarding these loans and the note payable can be found in Note 10 - Long-Term Debt to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In June 2021, we entered into the MLA with the Lender dated June 1, 2021, together with the Supplements and a Fixed Interest Rate Agreement. The MLA governs the terms of the Supplements. The MLA amends and restates the previous Master Loan Agreement between us and the Lender, dated June 19, 2017 and extends the principal repayment to July 1, 2026.

The Supplements and RELOC provide aggregate borrowing capacity of $130.0 million comprised of $75.0 million under the Revolving Credit Supplement, $40.0 million under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement and $15.0 million under the RELOC. As of April 30, 2022, our outstanding borrowings under the Farm Credit West Credit Facility and RELOC were $119.1 million and we had $10.9 million of availability.

The MLA subjects us to affirmative and restrictive covenants including, among other customary covenants, financial reporting requirements, requirements to maintain and repair any collateral, restrictions on the sale of assets, restrictions on the use of proceeds, prohibitions on the incurrence of additional debt and restrictions on the purchase or sale of major assets of our business. We are also subject to a financial covenant that requires us to maintain compliance with a specified debt service coverage ratio on an annual basis. In December 2021, the Lender modified the covenant to defer measurement at October 31, 2021 and revert to a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25:1.0 measured as of October 31, 2022. We expect to be in compliance with these covenants in fiscal year 2022.

In the first quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, Farm Credit West declared an annual patronage dividend of $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which we received in the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Treasury Stock

In fiscal year 2021, our Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $10.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through September 2022. No shares have been repurchased under this program.

Dividends

The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the "Series B-2 Preferred Stock") are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends. Such preferred dividends paid were $0.3 million in the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cash dividends declared in the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 were $0.15 per common share and such dividends paid were $2.7 million in the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As discussed in Note 7 - Real Estate Development and Note 8 - Equity in Investments of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our fiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have investments in joint ventures and partnerships that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to develop critical accounting policies and make certain estimates, assumptions and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, available relevant data and other information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we continue to review and evaluate these estimates. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions as new or additional information become available in future periods. During the six months ended April 30, 2022, our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of October 31, 2021. Please refer to that filing for a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the disclosures discussed in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on January 10, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.As of April 30, 2022, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, to our knowledge, in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
