Limoneira Company (NASDAQ:LMNR), a diversified enterprise involved in citrus growing, packing, selling, and marketing, as well as agribusiness activities and real estate development, reported disappointing financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, ending July 31, 2025.
On September 9, 2025, Limoneira announced an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.02, missing the estimated EPS of $0.19. This negative EPS is reflected in the company's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately -164.84, indicating a challenging earnings situation. The earnings yield of -0.61% further highlights the negative earnings performance.
The company's actual revenue for the quarter was $47.48 million, falling short of the estimated $50.11 million. Despite this, Limoneira's price-to-sales ratio of about 1.61 suggests that investors are still willing to pay $1.61 for every dollar of sales, indicating some level of confidence in the company's sales potential.
Limoneira's enterprise value to sales ratio is approximately 1.92, while the enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio is around 12.47. These figures suggest that the company is valued higher than its sales and cash flow might justify, possibly due to its diversified operations and potential for long-term value creation, as highlighted by CEO Harold Edwards.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio is about 0.31, indicating a relatively low level of debt compared to equity. This suggests that Limoneira is not heavily reliant on debt financing, which could be a positive sign for investors. Additionally, the current ratio of approximately 1.05 indicates that the company has a slightly higher level of current assets compared to its current liabilities, suggesting a stable short-term financial position.
