CHASKA, Minn., March 16, 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 second quarter ended November 27, 2022.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO EXPLORE STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES:

Concurrently with the issuance of this press release, Lifecore also announced its intention to explore the Company's potential strategic alternatives to maximize value for stockholders, which may include an evaluation of a potential sale of the Company, potential debt or equity financing transactions, or other possible strategic transactions.

CEO COMMENTS:

James G. Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lifecore, commented, "We continue to make important progress toward unlocking the potential of Lifecore as a CDMO business and today announced that we intend to explore the Company's strategic alternatives to maximize value for our stockholders.   Today, we also announced the entry into a term sheet with an existing customer that contemplates a meaningful expansion of our relationship with this customer and includes substantial up-front payments, demonstrating the quality of our development portfolio as well as the benefits of our significant capacity investment strategy we have executed over the past several years.    During the second quarter, our revenues and adjusted EBITDA were negatively impacted by timing differences resulting from delayed customer orders and postponed onboarding of new development projects.    Despite these issues and the near term challenges the Company faces with its current capital structure, we believe Lifecore remains an excellent business with attractive growth characteristics and a compelling development pipeline that we intend to convert into stockholder value."

LIFECORE FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2023 BUSINESS 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 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 $38.8 million, a decrease of (10.7)% year-over-year.
• Consolidated gross profit of $7.1 million, a decrease of $7.6 million, or 51.7% year-over-year, primarily due to a $5.0 million decline in the Lifecore segment due to decreased revenue and unfavorable sales mix, and a $2.6 million decline in Curation Foods due to the impact from lower sales volume in combination with higher fruit costs.
• Consolidated net loss from continuing operations of $12.4 million, which includes a non-cash intangibles impairment charge of $1.3 million related to the avocado products business and $4.1 million of restructuring and other non-recurring charges such as legal expenses, both net of tax.
• Consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $(0.4) million, compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period.
• Lifecore segment EBITDA of $3.0 million, compared to $9.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting timing of sales and unfavorable mix versus the prior year period.

^{* See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" at the end of this release as to how the Company defines these non-GAAP financial measures and for a reconciliation thereof.}

Revenues decreased $4.7 million year-over-year, which was primarily a result of a $3.3 million decrease in Lifecore segment revenues.

Gross profit decreased $7.6 million year-over-year. Results were driven by a $5.0 million decrease in the Lifecore segment and a $2.6 million decrease in the Curation Foods segment.

Net loss from continuing operations decreased $16.7 million to a loss of $12.4 million for fiscal second quarter 2023, which includes a non-cash intangibles impairment charge of $1.3 million related to the avocado products business and $4.1 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of taxes, related to consolidating and optimizing operations associated with Project SWIFT. This compares to net income of $4.2 million in the prior year period, which includes $1.3 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of tax, related to consolidating and optimizing operations associated with Project SWIFT.

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 second quarter 2023, Lifecore realized total revenues of $21.7 million, representing a decline of (13.0)% as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 25.0% decrease in its CDMO business, which was partially offset by a 57.9% increase in its Hyaluronic Acid (HA) raw material manufacturing (fermentation) business. The decrease in CDMO revenue was primarily due to a shift in the timing of shipments to customers, and lower development revenue associated with a delay in onboarding new customers. The increase in HA raw material manufacturing revenue was primarily due to a deviation in shipment timing in the prior year period, which was influenced by excess channel inventory as a result of the global pandemic's negative impact on elective procedures.

Lifecore's development pipeline increased to 25 active development programs under contract as of the end of fiscal 2023 second quarter. These projects are delineated as follows: early phase or proof of concept (7), Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical development (9), and Phase 3 clinical development or scale-up/commercial validation activity (9). Lifecore currently manufactures 26 commercial products for 13 clients, which remains unchanged from fiscal first quarter 2023.

Curation Foods is the Company's natural food business consisting of avocado products, olive oil and vinegars. The Company continues to focus on divesting its remaining assets in support of its previously announced decision to focus the Company's Lifecore Biomedical segment. On December 13, 2021 the Company closed on the Eat Smart Disposition for $73.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments; those results have been reclassified as discontinued operations within the Company's financial statements. On June 2, 2022 the Company sold its BreatheWay business for $3.2 million in cash. BreatheWay was previously represented as the "Technology" category within the Curation Foods segment and prior year's results will remain classified in continuing operations. Additionally, subsequent to fiscal second quarter end, on February 7, 2023, the Company sold its avocado products business for $17.5 million, subject to certain adjustments.

Curation Foods realized total revenues from continuing operations of $17.1 million for the fiscal second quarter, representing a decrease of 8.0% as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by a (12.4)% decline in sales from O Olive, and a (3.0)% decrease in Avocado Products sales, and a 100% decline in Technology revenue as a result of the sale of the BreatheWay business.

GOING CONCERN

As further described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the three months ended November 27, 2022 (the "Current 10-Q"), the Company has evaluated its financial condition, and, based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that the existence of certain conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year following the date the Current 10-Q was filed. As a result of this determination, all outstanding borrowings under the Company's existing credit agreements are classified as short term on the consolidated balance sheets as of November 27, 2022 and May 29, 2022 contained in this earnings release and in the Current 10-Q.

CASH FLOW & BALANCE SHEET

Cash used in operations was $4.5 million for the six-month period ended November 27, 2022 compared to $4.3 million of cash used in the prior year period. Cash provided by investing activities decreased $36.2 million versus the prior year period primarily due to the timing of asset sales. Capital expenditures were $6.2 million for the six-month period ended November 27, 2022 primarily focused on supporting Lifecore's long-term growth initiatives. Cash provided by financing activities was $12.7 million for the six-month period ended November 27, 2022, driven by borrowings under the Company's line of credit and the sale of common stock.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million as of November 27, 2022. Total bank debt, net of cash, at fiscal 2023 second quarter end was $140.1 million, consisting of its line of credit and term debt, compared to $136.5 million at fiscal 2022 year end.

Subsequent to fiscal second quarter end, on January 9, 2023, the Company announced the closing of a $38.75 million private placement ("PIPE") of newly designated Series A convertible preferred stock. Simultaneously, the Company also amended its credit agreements to provide for, among other things, relief from certain financial covenants at that time.

RESTATED FISCAL 2022 FORM 10-K/A, AND FISCAL 2023 FIRST QUARTER 10-Q/A FILINGS, FISCAL 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q

The Company filed its restated Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K/A and Fiscal 2023 First Quarter Form 10-Q/A with the SEC today. These restatements were related to certain non-cash impairment charges related to the Company's Curation Foods business contained in the Company's previously issued (i) audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended May 29, 2022 and (ii) unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended August 28, 2022. As previously announced, the Company sold its packaged salad and fresh vegetable business on December 13, 2021 and its avocado products business on February 7, 2023. The Company's only remaining Curation Food's asset is O Olive Oil & Vinegar.
