PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
If 2025 proved one thing, it is that U.S. Sugar remains a strong, resilient Company that continues to do what it does best: sustainably feed American families while supporting the rural communities we call home.
We remain committed to three strategic pillars which serve as a foundation to everything we do. These pillars are focus on the core, be the low-cost producer and embrace technology as an enabler.
While we continue to enhance our operations through continual reinvestment into our business, stewardship of our assets and environment remain central to how we operate.
As farmers, we depend on healthy land, quality water and clean air to nurture our crops and community. Today, the fact remains that nearly all of our employees live in the communities close to our farms, and caring for our natural resources remains paramount.
The employees of U.S. Sugar are the heart of our Company. The women and men who come to work here each day take tremendous pride in their work and in the Glades communities, where many of them live and raise their families. Through volunteer hours, donations and investments, we continuously give back to our neighbors and that will never change.
While in the years to come there will always be uncertainty related to weather and markets, U.S. Sugarʼs strong foundation, clear strategy and deeply committed team members ensure we are prepared to continuously achieve our goals and drive long-term success.

NEW VARIETIES
U.S. Sugar continues to invest heavily in varietal development to strengthen yields, enhance sucrose content, and improve resilience to pests, disease and environmental stress.
During 2024–25, multiple USDA-ARS Canal Point varieties were released for commercial production, with seed increases underway for future performance evaluation. In addition, the Florida-Barbados (FLB) breeding program advanced toward its first commercial releases, marking a major milestone in a multi-year effort to expand genetic diversity and performance across both muck and sand soils.
The Company also continues to fast-track its Brazilian (RB) varietal program, with several RB varieties demonstrating strong cane yield performance and favorable agronomic traits, particularly on sand soils. These varieties offer improved adaptability for late-season harvest and reduced flowering, supporting long-term yield stability and planting cost efficiency.
AGRICULTURE:
SUGARCANE CROP
The 2024–25 sugarcane crop was shaped by a series of challenging weather conditions that impacted crop establishment, growth and final yields. Wet conditions during the prior planting season delayed germination and regrowth, followed by a dry spring, cooler-than-average temperatures and prolonged drought conditions that persisted through much of the growing cycle. While summer growth was generally average, late-season conditions limited the crop’s ability to recover lost tonnage.
The combined 2024–25 crop, which consists of Company-owned land and contributions from family growers, finished at approximately 8.6 million sugarhouse tons, about 7.4% below the original estimate, but still ranks among the larger crops in Company history. Administration sugarhouse tons exceeded 7.0 million tons for the 10th consecutive year, reflecting continued operational consistency despite adverse conditions.
Administration cane finished the season at approximately 43.5 sugarhouse tons per acre (TPA), marking the first time in the last 10 years the crop finished below 44 TPA. Even so, this result represents one of the Company’s stronger long-term outcomes, ranking among the top historical crops. Grower cane finished at approximately 9% below estimate, with performance closely aligned to Administration trends, reflecting shared weather impacts across the growing region. Despite lower tonnage, sucrose performance was a bright spot in 2024–25. Average sucrose percent cane finished above budget and at the highest level in the last five years, driven by extremely dry conditions and improvements in the Company’s ripener management program. The crop finished with approximately 9,800 pounds of sugar per acre, slightly above late-season forecasts, though below the prior year due primarily to reduced tons per acre.
SWEET CORN & OTHER CROPS
Sweet corn operations delivered solid performance in 2024–25, with acreage, yields and overall execution aligning with historical averages. Operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management supported stable margins despite variable weather conditions.
As Florida’s citrus industry continues to face long-term challenges related to disease pressure and market dynamics, U.S. Sugar continued to convert select citrus acreage to sugarcane where appropriate, aligning land use with the Company’s core agricultural strategy and long-term production goals.

RAILROAD
In 2025, U.S. Sugar continued its long-term investment in a safer, more efficient railroad operation with major upgrades to locomotives, rolling stock and track infrastructure. The Company upgraded four locomotives. Each locomotive now features CCB26 Computer Controlled Air Brake systems for use with Network Control Locomotive Technology, significantly enhancing operating reliability and train handling. Two additional SD40 six axle locomotives were modernized with TMV Control Systemʼs TECUs, the “brain” of the locomotive, along with new electrical control cabinets, while three new locomotives were acquired and placed into service to strengthen fleet capacity and redundancy. In 2025, U.S. Sugar and South Central Florida Express union representatives finalized contract negotiations – a testament to the strong, collaborative relationship that has been built.
NEW CANE CARS
To support efficient cane movement, U.S. Sugar replaced 250 cane cars featuring numerous improvements, including an upgraded door design, corrosion resistant steel and heavier steel sections throughout all areas of the car. These improvements will help to ensure many decades of reliable service. The cars began service at the beginning of the 2025–2026 crop year. The Company also completed Phase 4 of sugar yard upgrades, installing 12,400 feet of new rail and automated switch improvements to streamline operations and reduce downtime. In addition, U.S. Sugar upgraded and rebuilt five cane elevator sidings, enabling train passing and additional storage capacity.
Combined, the new fleet and track improvements pave the way for reliable, high-volume rail service for decades to come.
ENERGY
U.S. Sugar remains committed to clean, renewable and domestic energy as a core part of our operations.

Tuskegee and Florida A&M University Report Clean Air, Good Neighbors
In 2025, respected universities Tuskegee and Florida A&M University announced the results of a ground-breaking, year-long study into air quality and community attitudes toward agriculture in the Glades communities. The study was conducted from April through September of 2024, which included time during and after the harvest within the study period.
Combined, the data from multiple trusted sources overwhelmingly shows our farming communities have good, clean air – among the best in the state of Florida and on average, better than the air quality in urban coastal areas. Concerns about the impact of our harvesting practices, which includes prescribed pre-harvest sugarcane burning, are unfounded and lack data to support claims. The vast majority of our employees raise families in these communities and take tremendous pride in producing food while enjoying clean air.
STEWARDSHIP
U.S. Sugar recognizes the vital role that clean water plays in both our production processes and the communities we serve. Our commitment to protecting and enhancing the quality of Florida's water resources extends beyond compliance; we proactively implement sustainable practices that prioritize water conservation, quality monitoring and ecosystem health.
Through innovative technologies and partnerships, we are working toward a future where clean water is abundant and protected for generations to come. U.S. Sugarʼs farms in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) are enrolled in one of the most sophisticated and heavily monitored water treatment programs in the entire world. Farmers in this region, where the vast majority of our sugarcane is grown, are the only farmers in the United States required to reduce phosphorus in the water before it leaves the farms.
Working with partners at the University of Florida and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), water on our farms must participate in world-class Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are designed to trap nutrient-rich wind and waterborne sediment to keep it out of the water and on our fields.
In 2025, the program helped EAA farmers achieve a 66% reduction in phosphorus, bringing our total annual average reduction to 57% since 1996. This is more than twice the 25% required under Florida law and has significantly helped to improve water quality downstream in the Florida Everglades. To date, farmers in the EAA have prevented 4,765 metric tons of phosphorus from leaving the EAA and entering the state and federally protected Everglades.
OUR PEOPLE
U.S. Sugar is powered by a team of nearly 2,000 farmers, scientists, analysts, welders, engineers, operators, technicians and professionals who work to help feed American families. Our culture is rooted in the Company’s long-standing values of integrity, trust, teamwork, stewardship and excellence, which guide how we operate, how we care for our surroundings and how we impact our communities. There is great pride in the work we do and a deep sense of responsibility to each other and the region we call home.
“I grew up in it, my dad worked for the Company, and I would go to work with him on the weekends. So, it started in me from a young age being outside, being able to watch something you put in the ground grow and harvest and send to the mill and reap the benefit of putting forth effort. That’s something I enjoy.”

TRAINING
Since U.S. Sugar established the Industrial Skills Training Academy (ISTA) in 2019, 33 students have graduated as highly skilled Mechanic Welders, Heavy Equipment Diesel Mechanics and Welding Fabricators. Instruction at ISTA is delivered through a blend of U.S. Sugar employees, trainers from Palm Beach State College and equipment vendors, giving students exposure to both academic and industry best practices. Students train on the same equipment used in U.S. Sugar’s factories and agricultural operations, with a strong emphasis on preventive maintenance techniques rather than solely repair work. In 2025 alone, 10 students graduated and all were placed in open positions in manufacturing and agriculture. An additional 10 students enrolled last year in the three-year program. Interest in the program remains high, with more than 100 applications received last year for just 10 available seats in the incoming class, underscoring ISTA’s reputation as a premier pathway into well-paid technical careers.
U.S. Sugar launched the Industrial Skills Training Academy (ISTA), a three-year industrial skills training program, to attract high school graduates to learn mechanical skills. In 2024, ISTA added curriculum to allow students to specialize in skills specific to heavy equipment used in agriculture. The classes are taught by Company instructors, trainers from Palm Beach State College, as well as equipment vendors. Students focus on preventive techniques for maintenance in addition to repair work.
The program’s third class of students graduated in May 2024, and graduates were successfully placed into vacant Journeyman and Multicraft positions within Sugar Manufacturing. Interest remains high with 150 applications received last year.
