Sucro Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Sucro Limited (TSXV: SUGR) (OTCQB: SUGRF) ("Sucro" or the "Company"), an integrated sugar refiner focused primarily on serving North American sugar markets, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. All amounts are in United States dollars ("U.S. $" or "$") unless otherwise noted.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2025

• Revenue of $132.9 million on sugar deliveries of 147,853 metric tons
• Adjusted Gross Profit¹ of $13.4 million (10.1% Adjusted Gross Profit Margin¹).
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $7.2 million; EBITDA¹ of $20.8 million.
• Net income of $15.4 million; EPS of $1.40 basic and $0.64 diluted.
• Refineries delivered 53,873 MT with Adjusted Gross Profit/MT¹ of $187.66 (best in the last eight quarters).

"Q3 showed continued execution across our network. While total deliveries were lower year-over-year due to organic wholesale dynamics, refinery margins improved materially, reflecting lower input costs and stronger mix," said Jonathan Taylor, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "With commissioning milestones approaching at our new Hamilton, Ontario refinery under development and continued progress at our new University Park, Illinois refinery also under development, we remain focused on disciplined growth and service to our North American customer base."

Results from Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2025

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by 23.0%, to $132.9 million, from $172.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by lower sales volumes, which were in turn driven by lower wholesale sales of organic sugar in the U.S., as well as by lower bulk raw sugar sales at origin.

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $8.2 million for the corresponding 2024 period, a 12.9% decrease, mainly because of lower Adjusted Gross Profit. The decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit was in turn driven by the decrease in wholesale volumes of organic sugar in the U.S. This was partially offset by improved margins (a 35.3% improvement, to $187.66 per MT in Q3 2025) from our refineries in Hamilton and Lackawanna, New York. Notably, our refining operations saw the highest Adjusted Gross Profit of the prior eight quarters. Improvements in our refinery operations reflect the usage of lower cost inputs in Q3, compared to those used in the beginning of 2025, which were carried over from 2024.

EBITDA was $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $15.3 million for the corresponding 2024 period, a 35.7% increase.  Likewise, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, amounted to $15.4 million, an increase of $7.9 million when compared to net income of $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. These increases were driven primarily by higher unrealized mark-to-market gains on inventory, explained below.

Results from Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by 4.9%, to $519.5 million, from $495.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.  This increase was driven by higher sales volumes, which were in turn driven by greater wholesale volumes of conventional sugar in the U.S., as well as by higher bulk raw sugar sales at origin. 

Adjusted Gross Profit was $40.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $44.7 million for the corresponding 2024 period. With refinery operations relatively stable year-over-year, the decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit was driven by lower wholesale organic sugar deliveries in the U.S. and a decrease in volumes and margins in our operation in Mexico, reflective of the market-driven nature of our wholesale business in this geography.

EBITDA was $53.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $60.8 million for the corresponding 2024 period, a 11.8% decrease.  Likewise, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, amounted to $29.4 million, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 5.5%, when compared to net income of $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These decreases were driven primarily by lower unrealized mark-to-market gains on commodity forward contracts and lower Adjusted Gross Profit.

Operational & Market Update

• Organic sugar dynamics: Following the USDA's FY2026 specialty sugar announcement, U.S. organic pricing reflected potential high-tier import economics; Sucro remains uniquely positioned as a stand-alone organic-certified refiner in North America.
• Growth projects: Commissioning remains targeted for Hamilton, Ontario (Q4 2025) and University Park, Illinois (Q1 2026); the recently announced Belize refinery joint venture targets initial operations in H1–Q3 2026 as previously disclosed.
