LNDC Landec Corp

Landec Corporation (Nasdaq: LNDC) (“Landec” or the “Company”), a diversified health and wellness company with two operating businesses, Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (“Lifecore”) and Curation Foods, Inc. (“Curation Foods”), reported results for the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter ended May 29, 2022. Additionally, as reported today in a separate press release, the Company announced its path forward as a CDMO-focused life sciences company, complete with a corporate rebranding to Lifecore Biomedical, new ticker symbol, and the naming of its go-forward executive leadership team and Board of Directors.

CEO COMMENTS:

James G. Hall, CEO of Landec Corporation and President of Lifecore, commented, "Lifecore finished the year on a high note — we delivered full year revenue growth of 11.5% to $109.3 million and adjusted EBITDA growth of 18% to $28.9 million — both of which exceeded our full year fiscal 2022 goals. Our business remains very well positioned as a fully-integrated CDMO with highly differentiated capabilities for the development, fill and finish of complex sterile, injectable-grade pharmaceutical products. Lifecore is aligned with large and growing addressable markets with attractive underlying tailwinds and we have a long history of success, proven by our long-term customer relationships and low turnover. Looking ahead to fiscal 2023, our growth continues to be driven by our robust development pipeline and we remain focused on driving towards a multi-year acceleration of annual revenue growth into the mid- to high-teens based upon current pipeline characteristics and favorable industry tailwinds in the coming years."

LANDEC FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER 2022 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:

As previously reported, on December 13, 2021 the Company closed on the sale of its Curation Foods' fresh packaged salads and vegetables business (the “Eat Smart Disposition”), and as such, those results are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented within the Company’s financial statements. The operations associated with the Company's remaining Curation Foods assets will continue to be reflected in its consolidated financial results until their eventual disposition, at which time they will be transitioned into discontinued operations.

• Consolidated revenues of $47.6 million, an increase of 6.0% year-over-year
• Consolidated gross profit of $11.5 million, a decrease of 21.1% year-over-year, primarily due to cost inflation due to industry supply chain disruption at Curation Foods
• Consolidated net loss from continuing operations of $35.9 million, which includes a non-cash goodwill and intangibles impairment charge of $27.0 million, net of taxes, related to the avocado products business and $7.0 million of restructuring and other non-recurring charges such as legal expenses, both net of tax
• Consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $6.0 million, compared to $6.3 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 3.8% year-over-year
• Lifecore segment adjusted EBITDA of $8.9 million, compared to $7.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of 15.9% year-over-year

* See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” at the end of this release for more information and for a reconciliation of certain financial information.

Revenues increased $2.7 million year-over-year, which was primarily a result of a 6.9% increase in Lifecore segment revenues and a 4.9% increase in Curation Foods segment revenues.

Gross profit decreased $3.1 million year-over-year. Results were driven by a $2.1 million increase in the Lifecore segment that was more than offset by a $5.2 million decrease in the Curation Foods segment.

Net loss from continuing operations increased $34.4 million to a loss of $35.9 million for fiscal fourth quarter, which includes a non-cash goodwill and intangibles impairment charge of $27.0 million, net of taxes, related to the avocado products business and $7.0 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of taxes, related to consolidating and optimizing operations associated with Project SWIFT. This compares to a net loss of $1.4 million in the prior year period, which includes $1.6 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of tax, related to consolidating and optimizing operations associated with Project SWIFT.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.2 million, or 3.8%, year-over-year, to $6.0 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2022, which excludes restructuring and other non-recurring charges. This compares to adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million in the prior year fiscal fourth quarter. At the segment level during fiscal fourth quarter 2022, Lifecore generated $8.9 million in adjusted EBITDA, which represents an increase of $1.2 million, or 15.9%, versus the prior year period.

Lifecore is the Company’s CDMO business focused on product development and manufacturing of sterile injectable products. Lifecore continues to expand its presence in the robust CDMO marketplace by utilizing its specialized capabilities to partner with and provide value added services to biopharmaceutical and medical device companies. Lifecore continues to drive growth and profitability with a focus on building its business development pipeline, maximizing capacity and advancing product commercialization for innovative new therapies that improve patients’ lives.

In the fiscal fourth quarter 2022, Lifecore realized total revenues of $27.6 million, a 6.9% increase as compared to the prior year period driven by a 34.1% increase in its fermentation business and a 2.0% increase in its CDMO business. The increase is primarily due to the timing of shipments within the fiscal year for the fermentation business. For the full fiscal year, CDMO revenues increased 14.6%.

Lifecore replaced three projects in its development pipeline in fiscal fourth quarter, with the total remaining at 24 active developmental programs under contract. These projects are delineated as follows: early phase or proof of concept (5), Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical development (11), and Phase 3 clinical development or scale-up/commercial validation activity (8). Lifecore currently manufactures 26 commercial products for 13 clients, which remains unchanged from fiscal third quarter 2022.

Curation Foods is the Company’s natural food business. The Company continued its focus on execution of Project SWIFT – the Company’s value creation program that aims to strengthen the Curation Foods segment by simplifying the business, improving operating cost structure, and enhancing profitability with a focus on higher margin products. On December 13, 2021 the Company closed on the Eat Smart Disposition for $73.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments; those results have been reclassified as discontinued operations within the Company’s financial statements.

Curation Foods realized total revenues from continuing operations of $20.0 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, an increase of 4.9% versus the prior year period, primarily driven by a 16.5% increase in sales velocity from O Olive and a 4.8% increase in Avocado Products.

CASH FLOW & BALANCE SHEET

Cash used in operations was $24.4 million for the twelve month period ended May 29, 2022 compared to cash provided by operations of $15.0 million in the prior year period. Cash from investing activities increased $92.6 million versus the prior year period, primarily driven by proceeds from the Eat Smart disposition of $73.5 million plus sale of the Windset investment of $45.1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain restructuring and other non-recurring charges. The table below presents the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and other supplemental information. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” above for further information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures.

(1)

During fiscal year 2020, the Company announced a restructuring plan to drive enhanced profitability, focus the business on its strategic assets, and redesign the organization to be the appropriate size to compete and thrive. This included a reduction-in-force, a reduction in leased office spaces, and the sale of non-strategic assets. Related to these continued activities, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company incurred (1) $1.0 million of restructuring charges ($9.4 million year to date), primarily related to consulting, legal costs, lease impairment, and $6.4 million ($8.9 million year to date) of certain non-recurring charges, primarily related to potential environmental and compliance matters at Curation Foods’ Avocado Products factory in Silao, Mexico, and other restructuring related legal and consulting costs.
