Landec Corporation Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results
Reiterates Fiscal 2022 Guidance for Lifecore
Provides Pro Forma Curation Foods Segment Results and Updates Guidance for Continuing Segment Operations

SANTA MARIA, CA – January 5, 2022 - 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., reported results for the fiscal 2022 second quarter ended November 28, 2021. Subsequent to fiscal second quarter end, on December 13, 2021 the Company closed on the sale of its Curation Food’s fresh packaged salads and vegetables business (the “Eat Smart Disposition”) for $73.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. Looking forward, Landec continues to focus on creating shareholder value through strengthening its balance sheet, accelerating growth at Lifecore, and seeking opportunities to optimize its remaining assets.
CEO COMMENTS:
“We have made great progress in our strategic plan to transform Landec. The divestment of our Eat Smart fresh packaged salad and vegetables business marked an important milestone toward extracting value from our non-core assets within the Curation Foods business and re-orienting the Company around our Lifecore business,” commented Dr. Albert Bolles, Chief Executive Officer of Landec Corporation. “Lifecore performed well during the second quarter, delivering 7% revenue growth, which we expect to accelerate further in the second half of fiscal 2022, and 26% adjusted EBITDA growth in our Lifecore segment. We will continue to optimize the value of the remaining assets within Curation Foods, while turning our primary focus to Lifecore, which we believe is at an inflection point to drive a multi-year acceleration in growth."
FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2022 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:
Revenues of $129.5 million, pro forma revenues of $43.5 million after adjustment for the Eat Smart Disposition, a pro forma increase of 8.8% year-over-year
Gross profit of $13.0 million, pro forma gross profit of $14.7 million, a pro forma increase of 8.2% year-over-year
Net loss of $38.4 million, which includes non-cash goodwill impairment related to the Eat Smart Disposition of $29.1 million and $1.9 million of restructuring and other non-recurring charges such as legal expenses, both net of tax

Curation Foods is the Company’s natural food business.

Curation Foods realized total revenues of $104.5 million for the fiscal second quarter, while pro forma adjusted Curation Foods revenue was $18.5 million for the same period. The total segment pro forma revenues increased 10.6% versus the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in sales velocity from O Olive (which has historically been included in the fresh packaged salads and vegetables business categorization) and Avocado Products. As a result, the fresh packaged salads and vegetables business pro forma revenue (now representing solely O Olive) increased $1.0 million, or 71%, to $2.5 million. The avocado products business increased $0.7 million or, 4.5%, with revenues of $15.4 million.

Capital expenditures were $13.0 million for the six month period ended November 28, 2021 compared to $7.4 million in the prior year period. Cash used in financing activities was $29.1 million for the six month period ended November 28, 2021 driven by payments on the Company’s term debt, compared to $22.0 million in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations
EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA 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 and the fair market value change in Windset investment. We define pro forma adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain restructuring and other non-recurring charges and after pro forma adjustments for the Eat Smart Disposition as discussed in the Pro Forma Financial Information section above. 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company incurred (1) $1.4 million of restructuring charges ($4.0 million year to date), primarily related to consulting and legal costs and (2) $0.7 million ($1.5 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.
