Highlights for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (comparisons with the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2023):
-
Gross profit for the year was $35.2-million, the second-best year in the corporation's history.

- Subsequent to quarter-end, on Sept. 5, 2024, the corporation announced an expanded regenerative agriculture partnership with Miller Milling, one of the largest wheat millers in the U.S., to improve agronomic and environmental outcomes for wheat growers in North Dakota by implementing advanced nutrient practices.
Chief executive officer commentary
"At the onset of the year, we committed to building on the progress from fiscal year 2023 and executing our core strategies," commented Carlos Paz, president and chief executive officer of Ceres. "Achieving our second-best fiscal year performance in Ceres's history is a testament to the success of remaining focused on effective trading, improving efficiencies across our joint ventures and network of assets, and capitalizing on synergies across our network of partners."
Mr. Paz continued: "Our regenerative agriculture program has grown significantly over the past year, with enrolled acres increasing more than sixfold compared to last year. We also retained 100 per cent of our grower partners and added two new milling partners. The collaborations we established with Miller Milling, Grupo Trimex and Lavie Bio this year exemplify our ability to drive the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices for our partners, positioning us for continued growth in the years ahead."
Outlook
Mr. Paz added: "With mild weather in Canada and the U.S. pointing to higher-than-average crops, we are well positioned to fully utilize storage and volume throughput across our network of assets to maximize the value of a potential bumper harvest season. Meanwhile, we continue to monitor geopolitical tensions and market volatility, fueled by the unresolved conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and Israel."
"As we move forward, Ceres will continue to evaluate its asset network to ensure peak efficiency and optimal performance. We remain optimistic about the growth of our regenerative agriculture programs and strategic partnerships. Our focus will be on sustaining this year's momentum by executing our core strategies and providing value to our shareholders in fiscal 2025."
