Ceres Global Ag suspends canola crush project

2022-06-24 11:43 ET - News Release

Mr. Robert Day reports

CERES GLOBAL AG CORP. SUSPENDS CRUSH PROJECT; TERMINATES EQUIPMENT CONTRACT

Ceres Global Ag Corp. is suspending its previously announced canola crush project at Northgate, Sask. The corporation's decision to pause the project is due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, inflationary pressures resulting in higher costs than initially projected and shifting macroeconomic conditions. Consistent with the foregoing, Ceres has taken the step of terminating an equipment design and supply contract relating to the project, in order to reduce project-related contract liabilities. Termination of this contract and suspension of the project will result in a fourth quarter impairment charge in relation to certain earlier expenditures made in connection with the project and which will be included when Ceres's reports its fourth quarter and fiscal year-end results later this fall. The corporation currently estimates that the impairment will be in the range of $25-million to $30-million. Ceres intends to continue to explore avenues to pursue a canola crush project of some form in the future, but there is no guarantee that such a project will come to fruition or would be similar to the previously announced project.
