Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Results

 

KAPALUA, Hawaii / August 14, 2026 (BusinessWire) – Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (NYSE: MLP) today reported financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

The first half of the year was a period of steady progress for the Company. Its commercial real estate and land leasing businesses continued to generate dependable, recurring revenue totaling approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company continued to invest across its business units including its development projects, agricultural ventures, and infrastructure facilities which will continue to build long-term value for the Company.

 

"Our commercial real estate and land leasing businesses continue to provide a stable foundation, and we are reinvesting that stability into a development pipeline we believe will produce meaningful land sales in the years ahead," said Race Randle, CEO of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. "The appointment of Ryan Panopio as our Chief Investment Officer brings dedicated leadership to that effort, and our progress toward a potential sale of certain water assets to the County of Maui is a good example of how we continue to prioritize community resiliency and recycle capital from non-core assets into higher-value opportunities. These steps reflect a clear and consistent strategy focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders and serving the needs of Maui's communities and families."

 

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS AT JUNE 30, 2025

Land Development and Sales: The Company continues to build momentum.

Reported Land Development and Sales revenue continues to build momentum with new opportunities, supported by over $20.0 million in contracted land sales and $12.0 million of new listings during the period. These include a $10.0 million purchase agreement with Harvest Church for a 6.5-acre parcel for its Kapalua campus which is currently in escrow and expected to close in 2027, and a $10.0 million agreement for the sale of an 8.783-acre Kapalua parcel also in escrow. Both sales transactions are subject to various closing conditions. The overall revenue decline year over year is almost entirely due to the pause of the Honokeana Homes Temporary Housing Project. Since the project’s roughly $3.2 million of prior-year revenue was matched by an equivalent amount of cost, its pause had virtually no impact on segment margin.

 

Commercial Real Estate Leasing: Recurring revenue provides a stable foundation.

The Company’s two recurring-revenue businesses continued to perform well. Its commercial real estate portfolio maintained 93% occupancy and generated $3.9 million in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, consistent with the prior year and a reflection of the quality of these properties and the tenants they attract.

 

Land Leasing and Management: Land and water stewardship supports long-term value, not recurring costs.

Land leasing revenue grew year over year, demonstrating the Company's ability to generate income from its land without divesting it. Segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased by $0.2 million from the prior year's six month period. Segment expenses for the same period rose by $1.4 million, from $1.7 million to $3.1 million, driven largely by improvements and maintenance work in the portfolio. The Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the County of Maui regarding the potential sale of certain water assets. Furthermore, the acquisition would complete the Company’s responsible transition of these water systems to public management in a manner that provides meaningful community benefit.

 

Agribusiness Venture: A long-term agricultural opportunity takes shape.

The Company invested $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, to advance the cultivation of drought-resistant blue agave at its 325-acre Hali‘imaile Ranch, bringing its total strategic investment in this new venture to approximately $2.5 million. This period marked a significant milestone in the venture, as the completion of the second phase of plantings expanded the farm to 80 acres. Non-capitalized operating expenses related to the farm were $0.1 million for the period. The Company views agave as a patient investment in a durable, land-based business that can generate revenue for years to come.

 


 

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUMMARY

The financial results reflect reinvestment.

The Company’s reported net loss of $3.7 million for the first half of 2026 reflects a deliberate decision to invest in long-term value creation rather than short-term earnings. During the first half of the year, the Company invested approximately $1.6 million in development projects and $0.8 million in its agave venture, funded in part through its credit facility. General and administrative expenses for the same period increased by $0.5 million, from $2.5 million to $3.0 million, largely to add the people and audit capabilities needed to support a growing development business. A large portion of the reported GAAP net loss came from non-cash items, as the Company’s underlying cash operating loss for the six months was approximately $1.2 million. For the first half of 2026, reported GAAP net loss improved by $5.9 million compared with the prior year, driven mainly by the absence of charges related to the 2025 termination of the Company’s qualified pension plan. The Company’s decision to eliminate the use of new stock options in favor of restricted stock grants also contributed to this improvement. This change lowers compensation expense while keeping the interests of officers and directors aligned with those of shareholders.

 

Looking Ahead

Revenues from the Commercial Real Estate Leasing and Land Leasing and Management segments combined, contributed approximately $6.6 million of recurring revenue in the first half of the year, which provides the Company a dependable base to accomplish its plans. With a stable base of recurring revenue, a strengthened leadership team, a growing development pipeline, and continued progress on monetizing non-core water assets, the Company believes it is well positioned to continue turning its land into long-term value for shareholders and lasting benefit for the Maui community.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA, to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company's financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of our operating performance because it excludes items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, our core operating results. This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to represent and should not be considered a more meaningful measure than, or alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent we utilize such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, we expect to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period.

 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, pension and post-retirement expenses, and bad debt. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by the Company to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions for the allocation of capital. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to provide information that may assist investors in understanding its financial results. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for net income (loss). A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided further below.
