During the meeting, which took place at the Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum, stockholders elected three directors to a three-year term ending at the 2028 Annual Meeting. Barbara Carbone, Gordon E. Kimball, and Scott S. Slater were the nominees who received the majority of votes and will continue to serve on the board.

The selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, was also ratified by the stockholders with an overwhelming majority.
The voting results reflected a quorum with 81.16% of the total shares of capital stock outstanding, represented by 14,625,712.57 shares of Common Stock and 14,790 shares (or 147,900 votes) of Series B Preferred Stock.

In other recent news, Limoneira Company reported a narrower first-quarter loss, with a net loss of $0.18 per share, slightly missing analysts' expectations of a $0.17 per share loss. This was an improvement from the $0.21 per share loss reported in the same quarter last year. However, revenue for the quarter was $32.85 million, falling short of the $40 million consensus estimate and down from $39.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to lower fresh lemon prices. Despite the revenue miss, Limoneira's operating loss improved 31% year-over-year, reflecting the benefits of its cost reduction initiatives.
Additionally, Limoneira has authorized a $30 million stock buyback, signaling the board's confidence in the company's strategic direction. The company concluded its strategic review process and reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value through various initiatives, including selling non-core assets and expanding its avocado industry presence. Furthermore, Limoneira announced a joint venture with Agromin Corporation to expand a composting facility at Limoneira Ranch, expected to contribute approximately $5 million in EBITDA in its first year.
This partnership aims to process around 295,000 tons of organic waste annually, supported by a $10 million grant from California's CalRecycle Organics Grant Program. Limoneira also reported progress on its water rights monetization efforts, with the sale of water pumping rights in the Santa Paula Basin for $1.7 million during the quarter. These developments indicate Limoneira's strategic efforts to optimize its operations and focus on sustainable practices.
