Limoneira Company CEO’s  Comments

Harold Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our record lemon sales in the first nine-months of fiscal 2017 enabled us to increase revenue by 14% and offset the lower volume of avocados this year. In addition, our expanding acreage and improving operating efficiencies enabled us to generate record adjusted EBITDA during the first nine months of 2017 and have us very well positioned for record results in fiscal 2017.”

Mr. Edwards concluded, “As we enter the last quarter of fiscal 2017, we are turning our focus to 2018 and will continue to leverage our strengths to provide customers with a year-round global supply of fresh citrus and avocados. We believe our One World of Citrus™ strategy will enable us to deliver meaningful growth and enhance shareholder value for many years to come.”  Business Wire
