Limoneira Co (LMNR), a public limited agribusiness and real estate development company, has announced second-quarter results.
Revenues of $45.1 million missed the Street’s estimates of $45.4 million and jumped 14% from the year-ago period. Growth was driven by the increase in fresh lemon and avocado volumes.
Earnings came in at $0.10 per share, beating consensus estimates of $0.06 per share. A loss of $0.09 per share was reported in the same quarter last year.
Limoneira CEO Harold Edwards said, “The pace of home sales has been increasing this year and as each quarter closes, we gain confidence in the timing of the expected $80 million of cash distributions from Harvest at Limoneira over the next six years beginning in fiscal year 2022.”
He added, “In addition, we believe there is a potential upside to our stated cash distributions due to the increased number of housing units in Harvest at Limoneira as well as the potential opportunity of a medical campus in our East Area 2 development.” (See Limoneira Co stock analysis on TipRanks)
