During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a loss on the disposal of long-lived assets of zero and $780, respectively, which has been recognized within Operating expenses.
In December 2025, the Company entered into leases of certain of its previously retained groves in Polk County and the Citree grove through May 31, 2026, with the intent to enter a further extension of these leases. The decision to lease these groves constituted an impairment indicator and the Company performed an impairment analysis of its long-lived assets in these groves at December 15, 2025. The Company determined that the asset group for testing impairment is the grove level and includes the Citrus trees, Land, certain Equipment (principally irrigation related) and the Buildings and improvements within its citrus groves. This grouping is required as the cash flows from the sales of fruit cannot be specifically attributed to any of the individual components and the caretaking of the groves is interdependent on the existence of all assets in the asset group. This analysis was based on consideration of comparable land sales and recent appraisals which considered comparable land sales, as well as any cash flows expected to be received from, or related to its operations (such as the fruit harvest) through the harvest season. Based on the Company’s analysis, there was no indication of impairment.
As a result of these leases, the estimated useful life of the Company’s citrus trees has been impacted and their lives were changed to approximately 3.50 years, which is the anticipated end of the non-cancelable term of the lease extension the Company is negotiating. The change in lives resulted in a net reduction the Company’s depreciation on its trees and certain irrigation assets of approximately $205 for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The impact of the change in depreciable lives on net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $176 and the impact on both Basic and Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was income of $0.02 and $0.02, respectively.
