Landec Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2021 Results
•Lifecore Biomedical Generates Full Year Revenue Growth of 14.3%, Net Income Growth of 23.1%, and Adjusted EBITDA Growth of 22.0%
•Curation Foods Achieves Fiscal Fourth Quarter Gross Margin of 11.9% on Revenue of $114.0 Million
•Landec Consolidated Full Year Revenues of $544.2 Million, Net Loss of $32.7 Million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $31.4 Million
SANTA MARIA, CA – July 28, 2021 - Landec Corporation (Nasdaq: LNDC), a diversified health and wellness company with two operating businesses, Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. and Curation Foods, Inc., reported results for the fiscal 2021 fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended May 30, 2021. Looking forward, Landec’s strategy to continue to create shareholder value is to seek to deliver against its long-term targets, strengthen its balance sheet, drive top-line growth at Lifecore, and selectively invest in innovation and growth while implementing strategic priorities to improve operating margins at Curation Foods.
CEO COMMENTS:
Dr. Albert Bolles, Landec’s President and CEO stated, “Landec had a solid finish to fiscal 2021 with fiscal fourth quarter performances in both segments that exceeded our revised projections. Lifecore proved to be resilient through the COVID-19 disruptions, generating top-line growth of 14% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 22% for the full year. Lifecore is an important partner to the life sciences community it services and is helping solve complex development and manufacturing projects. A great example of this was the FDA approval of Heron Therapeutics' ZYNRELEF product in May, a partner that the Lifecore organization has worked with for many years across all stages of its development pipeline. We believe Lifecore is extremely well positioned in this environment with added capabilities and capacity to support its growing customer base. We look forward to many years of success and will continue to support the team’s efforts to invest for sustainable long-term double-digit revenue growth.”
Dr. Bolles continued, “At Curation Foods, we were pleased to meet our year-end, steady-state goal of generating segment gross profit margins in the range of 11% to 14% with a reported margin of 11.9%. While our trajectory was temporarily disrupted in fiscal third quarter due to unforeseen impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, we drove a 450 basis point sequential improvement in the fiscal fourth quarter. We believe our turnaround efforts with Curation Foods remain on track, and we have the added support of a more efficient distribution network that expands our reach while further simplifying our operations. Looking ahead to fiscal 2022, we believe we have the benefit of a nimbler organization along with some product innovations that will drive a transition to growth in the years ahead. Our efforts aren’t yet complete, but we remain committed to the process as a means to improve shareholder value under the framework of Project SWIFT.”

Revenues decreased $16.3 million, or 10.4%, year-over-year, which was primarily a result of a 12.7% decrease in Curation Foods’ segment revenues, as described below, which was partially offset by a 1.3% increase in the Lifecore segment revenues.
Gross profit increased $0.7 million, or 2.9%, year-over-year, and gross profit margin increased approximately 230 basis points to 17.7% compared to 15.4% in the prior year period.
Net loss improved $12.3 million to a loss of $2.9 million for fiscal fourth quarter, which includes $4.8 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of taxes. This compares to net loss of $15.1 million in the prior year period, which includes $6.8 million of
restructuring and non-recurring charges, $3.3 million Windset fair market value adjustment, and $9.6 million impairment of goodwill and intangibles charges, each net of tax.

Curation Foods is the Company’s natural food business. Curation Foods is focused on providing access to innovative and nutritious 100% clean ingredient plant-based food. Through the execution of Project SWIFT – its value creation program that aims to strengthen the Curation Foods business by simplifying the business, improving operating cost structure, and enhancing profitability with a focus on higher margin products – the Company believes that it is on a clear path towards improving the overall financial performance of Landec, enhancing its ability to drive long-term shareholder value.
Curation Foods realized total revenues of $114.0 million for the fiscal fourth quarter. The total segment revenues decreased 13% versus the prior year period, primarily driven by the planned reduction in Curation Foods’ legacy vegetable and tray business in connection with Project SWIFT and COVID-19 pandemic headwinds as well as the effect of the additional week in sales in the prior year due to the 52/53 week calendar year. The pandemic has delayed customer store resets and the penetration of new product innovations, and continues to pressure the foodservice channel. As a result, the fresh packaged salads and vegetables business revenue decreased $15.6 million, or 14%, to $96.9 million. The avocado products business decreased 6%, to $16.5 million primarily due to the additional week of sales in the prior year period. Revenue in Technology decreased 7% due to timing of customer deliveries.
Curation Foods generated gross profit of $13.6 million, which increased 2.6% year-over-year largely due to its plans to drive a higher margin product mix. Gross margin of 11.9% compares to 10.1% in the prior year period, which met the Company’s expectations to achieve steady-state segment gross margins at the low-end of its expectations in the range of 11% to 14% by fiscal year end. The Company believes that further gross margin expansion opportunity is present as it cycles COVID-19 related challenges associated with labor inefficiency, distribution cost inflation, costs associated with sales cancellations, and higher variable costs such as minimum wage increases. The Company remains committed to improving segment gross margin and is focused on this metric as a key performance indicator.
CASH FLOW & BALANCE SHEET
Cash provided by operations was $15.0 million for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2021 compared to cash used by operations of $17.0 million in the prior year period, representing a $32.1 million improvement year-over-year. Cash from investing activities improved $13.0 million versus prior year, driven by a capital expenditure decrease of $2.9 million and fixed asset sales proceeds of $12.9 million. Capital expenditures were $23.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2021 compared to $26.7 million in the prior fiscal year.
Subsequent to the closing of fiscal fourth quarter, on June 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all of its equity interests in Windset Holdings 2010 Ltd. (“Windset”) to affiliates of the founding and controlling investors of Windset for a purchase price of $45.1 million, which was equal to the carrying value on Landec’s balance sheet for those interests as of the fiscal fourth quarter ended May 30, 2021. The Company applied its net proceeds (after early repayment fees under the Company's credit facility) of $41.4 million to repay indebtedness under the Company's credit facility. Giving effect to this transaction, our pro forma net debt leverage ratio would have been reduced to 5.6x from 7.0x on a trailing twelve month basis as of our fourth quarter ended May 30, 2021, as calculated under our credit agreements.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 million as of May 30, 2021. Total debt at fiscal fourth quarter end was $193.9 million, consisting of its line of credit and long-term debt. Giving effect to the Windset transaction, subsequent to fiscal year end the Company’s total debt was reduced to $152.5 million, consisting of its line of credit and long-term debt.
Resignation of Director and Reduction in Number of Board Members
On July 27, 2021, Patrick Walsh resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. His departure from the Company's Board of Directors was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or procedures, or any disagreements in respect to accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or otherwise. The Company thanks Mr. Walsh for his service to the Company.
Concurrently with Mr. Walsh's resignation, the Board of Directors voted to reduce the number of directors to ten who may serve as active board members.
FISCAL 2022 OUTLOOK:
Excluding restructuring and other nonrecurring charges, tax implications and any potential impact from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is introducing its full year fiscal 2022 guidance, which is detailed below with growth figures that are compared to fiscal 2021:
Revenue from continuing operations:
•Consolidated Revenues: range of $545 million to $554 million (flat to +1.8%)
•Lifecore segment: range of $105 million to $108 million (+7% to +10%)
•Curation Foods segment: range of $440 million to $446 million (-1.4% to 0.0%)
Adjusted EBITDA:
•Consolidated: range of $33.3 million to $35.5 million (+6% to +13%)
•Lifecore segment: range of $26 million to $27 million (+6% to +10%)
•Curation Foods segment: range of $12 million to $13 million (+9% to +18%)
•Other (Corporate Expense): range of ($4.5) million to ($4.7) million
Seasonality:
•From an adjusted EBITDA perspective, the Company anticipates that approximately 30% of its annual consolidated adjusted EBITDA will be generated in its fiscal first half. This is due to customer inventory re-balancing at Lifecore as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which results in flattish year-over-year revenue growth in fiscal first half followed by substantial double-digit growth in second half at Lifecore. At Curation Foods, the Company expects the quarterly adjusted EBITDA cadence to be largely comparable to the prior year with growth being driven by continued improvement in segment gross margin, which is expected to meet its steady-state target of 11% to 14% for the full year fiscal 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain restructuring and other non-recurring charges, the fair market value change of the Company’s investments in Windset, and before impairment of goodwill and intangibles charges. We define adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share as net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share, respectively, before certain restructuring and other non-recurring charges, the fair market value change of the Company’s investment in Windset, and before impairment of goodwill and intangibles charges, all net of tax. 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 fiscal year 2021, the Company incurred (1) $17.6 million ($4.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021) of restructuring charges, primarily related to the impairment and sale of the Company’s Hanover, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and related severance charges, the write-off of non-strategic assets, and other restructuring related consulting and legal costs; partially offset by the gain on sale of the Company’s Ontario,
California facility and (2) $8.1 million ($1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021) 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.
(2) These impairments are related to fiscal year 2020 Curation Foods’ goodwill, trademarks and tradenames, and customer relationships with respect to its O Olive Oil and Vinegar and Yucatan brands.
