LNDC - Lifecore Biomedical Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Results
CHASKA, Minn., June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (“Lifecore” or the “Company”), a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), reported results for the fiscal 2023 third quarter ended February 26, 2023.
CEO COMMENTS:
James G. Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lifecore, commented, "We took a noteworthy step forward last week with the execution of an enhanced Supply Agreement with a significant, long-term customer, Alcon, as well as completing a comprehensive restructuring of our debt arrangements led by Alcon. These transactions allow the Company to clear the existing Going Concern qualification and create a more stable and sustainable business model. In combination with the sale of our remaining Curation Foods segment business in early April, Lifecore is beginning a new chapter as a stand-alone CDMO. Going forward, we remain focused on continuing to execute on our business plan and evaluate potential strategic alternatives so as to determine the best path forward to maximize value for our stockholders."
Mr. Hall continued, "Our fiscal third quarter results came in as expected and reflect a continuation of the timing differences we experienced in the second quarter resulting from delayed commercialization of certain customers’ projects, onboarding new development projects that are in the earlier, lower revenue stages of development and timing of fermentation revenues. Despite this temporary deceleration, we have made significant advancements in our commercial development pipeline, including the expanded supply agreement for HA fermentation with Alcon, as well as further advancements in our development pipeline, in which we are seeing increased customer interest in partnering with Lifecore. The product of these advancements will be visible in fiscal fourth quarter performance with a sequential step up in Lifecore's segment adjusted EBITDA that approximates a doubling of fiscal third quarter results."
LIFECORE FISCAL THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL 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 on February 7, 2023, the Company closed on the sale of its avocado products business (the "Yucatan Disposition"), and as such, those results are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented within the Company’s financial statements reported herein. The operations associated with the Company's remaining Curation Foods assets are reflected as part of the Curation Foods segment in all periods presented within the Company’s financial statements reported herein.
- Consolidated revenues of $27.6 million, a decrease of 26.2% year-over-year.
- Consolidated gross profit of $6.0 million, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 53.5% year-over-year.
- Consolidated net loss from continuing operations of $15.5 million, which includes $8.9 million of restructuring and other non-recurring charges such as legal expenses, both net of tax.
- Consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million, compared to $6.7 million in the prior year period.
- Lifecore segment adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million, compared to $8.6 million in the prior year period, which reflects a shift in the timing of shipments to customers, the lower development revenue associated with a delay in onboarding new customers, as well as a higher mix of earlier stage projects with lower initial revenues versus the prior year period.
REMOVAL OF GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION
As further described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended February 26, 2023 (the “Current 10-Q”), the Company evaluated its financial condition, and, based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that the existence of those certain conditions and events that gave rise to a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year following the filing date of the Current 10-Q were no longer present, and thus the Company has removed its previously announced going concern qualification. As a result of this determination, all outstanding borrowings under the Company’s existing credit agreements are anticipated to be reclassified to long term on the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2023.

Net loss from continuing operations increased $8.8 million to a loss of $15.5 million for fiscal third quarter 2023, which includes $8.9 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of taxes, related to consolidating and optimizing operations associated with the Company's strategy to divest its Curation Foods assets.

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 seek to drive growth 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 third quarter 2023, Lifecore realized total revenues of $26.3 million, representing a decline of 24.4% as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 28.2% decrease in its CDMO business and a 14.9% decrease in its Hyaluronic Acid ("HA") raw material manufacturing (fermentation) business. The decrease in CDMO revenue was primarily due to two prior year late-stage development customers’ delay in commercializing their products in the current year, a shift in the timing of shipments to customers, and lower development revenue associated with a earlier stage, lower revenue development projects with new customers. The decrease in HA raw material manufacturing revenue was primarily due to shipment timing from the prior year period.
Lifecore's development pipeline decreased by one to 24 active development programs under contract as of the end of fiscal 2023 third quarter. These projects are delineated as follows: early phase or proof of concept (eight projects), Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical development (seven projects), and Phase 3 clinical development or scale-up/commercial validation activity (nine projects). Lifecore currently manufactures 29 commercial products for 14 clients, which is an increase of three from fiscal second quarter 2023.

Curation Foods is the Company’s natural food business, which has since been divested through a series of strategic actions. On December 13, 2021 the Company closed on the Eat Smart Disposition for $73.5 million in cash. On June 2, 2022 the Company sold its BreatheWay business for $3.2 million in cash. On February 7, 2023, the Company closed its Yucatan Disposition for $17.5 million in cash. Additionally, subsequent to fiscal third quarter end, on April 6, 2023, the Company sold its remaining Curation Foods' asset, O Olive Oil and Vinegar, for $6.2 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
CASH FLOW & BALANCE SHEET
Cash used in operations was $17.2 million for the nine-month period ended February 26, 2023 compared to $22.0 million of cash used in the prior year period. Cash provided by investing activities decreased $95.4 million compared to the prior year period to $3.3 million, primarily due to the timing of asset sales. Capital expenditures were $12.3 million for the nine-month period ended February 26, 2023 which were primarily focused on investing in Lifecore’s long-term growth initiatives. Cash provided by financing activities was $15.1 million for the nine-month period ended February 26, 2023, driven primarily by the previously publicly announced sale of common and preferred stock.
On January 9, 2023, the Company announced the closing of a $38.75 million private placement (the “Preferred PIPE”) of newly designated Series A convertible preferred stock of the Company. Simultaneously, the Company also amended its credit agreements to provide for, among other things, relief from certain financial covenants in effect at that time.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.0 million as of February 26, 2023. Total bank debt, net of cash, at February 26, 2023 was $112.0 million, consisting of its line of credit and term debt, compared to $137.2 million at fiscal 2022 year end.
Subsequent to fiscal third quarter end and as previously announced, on May 22, 2023, the Company entered into $150 million of new credit arrangements with Alcon, including a six-year credit agreement and a sale and leaseback of certain HA fermentation equipment which replaced its existing term loan. The term facility bears interest at the rate of 10%, which is payable in kind (“PIK”) for the first three years, and payable 3% in cash interest and 7% PIK interest thereafter until maturity. Alcon and the Company also entered into an equipment sale and leaseback transaction related to certain HA fermentation assets, with a lease term of ten years, subject to certain repurchase rights.
Concurrently with this arrangement, the Company and BMO, the Company’s current lender under its existing asset-based lending ("ABL") revolving credit facility, entered into an amendment to the ABL revolving credit facility, which, among other things, contains waivers for all current defaults under the Company's ABL credit facility.

| 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company incurred (1) $4.2 million of restructuring charges, primarily related to legal costs, audit fees and transition costs from corporate headquarters transition to Lifecore, (2) $2.3 million in restructuring costs associated with financial advisor and legal fees related to management of the prior term loan lenders, and (3) $2.4 million of non-recurring charges primarily related to consolidating and transitioning operations associated with the Yucatan Disposition. |
