of Directors
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.-- June 20, 2013 -- Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERE) today announced that Brazilian agribusiness executive Daniel Glat has joined the company's board of directors. Glat succeeds Douglas Suttles, who stepped down from the Ceres board.

"Mr. Glat brings a history of success in the seed business and an extensive understanding of Brazilian agribusiness operations and customs to our board. His perspectives will be welcomed as we build our commercial business with Brazilian ethanol mills," said Richard Hamilton, President and CEO of Ceres. "On behalf of the board of directors, I would also like to thank Mr. Suttles for his service to Ceres. We wish him well as he takes on a new leadership role in the energy industry," said Hamilton.

Glat said that he looks forward to joining Ceres' efforts to expand ethanol production in Brazil. "Brazilian mills are eager to develop new feedstocks and make greater use of their existing land and industrial assets. I am looking forward to supporting Ceres' development of the sweet sorghum market in Brazil, both as a business opportunity and also as a Brazilian interested in strengthening our domestic supply of renewable transportation fuels."

Glat is currently a principal of Glat & Associates, an agribusiness consultancy firm in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He previously spent 25 years working for Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., a Dupont business, including 21 years in Brazil. From August 2007 to June 2011, he served as the director for international operations, where he was responsible for Pioneer's activities in Latin America, Africa and Asia. During this time he also served on the board of directors of Pioneer. From January 1998 to August 2007, Glat was president of the Pioneer's Brazilian subsidiary, Pioneer Sementes Ltda., having previously held various sales, marketing and business leadership roles at the subsidiary. Glat currently owns a 900-hectare farming operation in the Brazilian state of Tocatins. He received his B.S. and M.S. in Agronomy and Plant Genetics from the University of Arizona.

2013 Financial Results


•Calculated ethanol yields reached a peak of more than 3,600 liters per hectare.
•Ceres hybrids out-performed competitors for second straight year.
•Sweet sorghum yields were 50% higher year over year, but with greater variability than expected.
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq:CERE) today announced financial results for the quarter ended May 31, 2013 and provided an update on its business in Brazil, its largest immediate commercial opportunity.

The company reported that its mill customers in Brazil have made continued progress in crop performance this season, which concluded in May. For mills that reported results, yields of sugars that can be fermented into ethanol were approximately 50% higher on average across mill locations than the previous season primarily as a result of product improvements related to biomass quality and productivity, better crop management and favorable growing conditions at most planting locations. Yields from location to location, however, showed greater variability than expected. Ceres sweet sorghum hybrids were developed to complement existing sugarcane feedstock supplies and extend the ethanol production season in Brazil.

"We have clearly demonstrated that economically compelling yields can be achieved with our products," said Richard Hamilton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ceres. "While further optimizations and additional hybrids are needed to consistently achieve high yields across wide-area plantings, we believe that we are well positioned to take a leading role in the ongoing development of the sweet sorghum market in Brazil."

Due in part to the variability of this season's yields, the company anticipates that many of its mill customers will repeat smaller scale commercial plantings before committing to broad, large-scale adoption. "As a result, we expect total sweet sorghum seed sales next season to grow more modestly than originally anticipated," said Hamilton.

Ceres Chief Financial Officer Paul Kuc noted that the company continues to prioritize investments in its sorghum pipeline and its opportunity in Brazil, while closely monitoring its working capital levels. "As we move forward, we intend to maintain the strength of our balance sheet with these priorities in mind," he said.

THIRD QUARTER BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

•Based on customer reports, Ceres' portfolio of sweet sorghum hybrids has outyielded competing products this season at multiple locations where side-by-side comparisons were available.
•For mills that reported results, ethanol yields from Ceres products ranged from approximately 450 to 3,600 liters per hectare, according to customer and company calculations. Mills representing the top 20% of yields, and which generally followed established crop management practices, achieved average yields ranging from 2,100 to 3,300 liters per hectare. Lower yields were primarily due to deviations from recommended crop management practices, weather-related delays during planting and disease infection late in the growing season. Yield results were available from approximately two-thirds of the mills that planted Ceres' hybrids; remaining mills reported incomplete results, did not complete the evaluation or chose not to report results.
•Ceres has completed field trials required to register more than 10 new sweet sorghum hybrids with the Brazilian government. The company plans to begin commercial evaluations of the first of these products during the upcoming 2013-2014 growing season.
•The company plans to evaluate hundreds of pre-commercial and experimental hybrids in Brazil next season, with dozens included in field evaluations at multiple locations. These cultivars have demonstrated higher yields, better adaptation to certain environmental conditions and other performance improvements over existing products in initial field evaluations.
THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2013 were $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was due to higher product sales of $0.4 million, which consisted primarily of biomass sales as well as recognition of deferred revenue related to certain sales incentive and promotional programs during the 2012-2013 growing season in Brazil. The increase was partially offset by reduced billings of $0.1 million under the company's various grants and collaborations.

Cost of product sales was $2.1 million for quarter ended May 31, 2013 compared to $0.6 million for the same period last year. The increase was due to expenses of $1.0 million for crop management services performed under the company's sales incentive and promotional programs in Brazil, and $0.5 million for obsolete seed inventory relating to the company's sweet sorghum products.

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.2 million to $4.1 million for the quarter ended May 31, 2013 from $5.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced personnel and related expenses as well as reduced external R&D expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the quarter ended May 31, 2013 compared to $3.3 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses related to expanded business operations and market development support in Brazil, which was partially offset by reduced patent, legal and professional fees in the U.S.

For the quarter ended May 31, 2013, Ceres reported a net loss of $9.3 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.4 million, or $0.34 per share, for the quarter ended May 31, 2012.

At May 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $37.4 million.

We are an agricultural biotechnology company selling seeds for producing renewable bioenergy feedstocks that can enable the large-scale replacement of petroleum and other fossil fuels. We use a combination of advanced plant breeding and biotechnology to develop new traits and improved energy crop varieties that we believe address the limitations of first-generation bioenergy feedstocks, increase biomass productivity, reduce crop inputs and improve cultivation on marginal land.

Our first large-scale commercial products are proprietary sweet sorghum hybrids that can be used to extend the operating season of Brazilian sugarcane-to-ethanol mills. Elsewhere, we also market improved hybrids of high-biomass sorghum and varieties of switchgrass that can be used for the production of second-generation biofuels and bio-based chemicals as well as utility-scale electric power generation.

Ceres and Syngenta Extend Market Development in Brazil14:05 23.10.13


PR Newswire

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Oct. 23, 2013

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERE) and Syngenta announced today that they have extended a joint market development agreement in Brazil. The companies will move forward with their efforts to promote the use of both sweet sorghum and high biomass sorghum at Brazilian ethanol mills.

Under the renewed agreement, Syngenta and Ceres will continue to collaborate on field evaluations with mills. Syngenta will evaluate its portfolio of crop protection products alongside Ceres hybrids, while Ceres will provide both seed and research support. Both companies will coordinate outreach to ethanol mills and develop industry training programs.

Syngenta indicated that it plans to move forward with its evaluations aimed at registering additional crop protection products for sorghum. "We see sweet sorghum as a potential complement to sugarcane in ethanol production and we are working together with Ceres to identify the best protocols to fully protect and amplify the inherent potential of this crop," said Adriano Vilas Boas, Global Marketing Director for Sugarcane at Syngenta.

"We are pleased to be working with such a well-established leader to provide our mutual customers with more choices of crop protection products for sorghum," said Andre Franco, General Manager of Ceres' local subsidiary, Ceres Sementes do Brasil Ltda. "Working together with Syngenta we have made important progress in fine-tuning crop management practices that can enhance yields through greater protection against pests, diseases and weeds."

Sweet sorghum is a hardy crop that can extend the ethanol production season by up to 60 days in Brazil. It can be grown on fallow sugarcane land and processed using the same equipment. Since it grows in as few as 90 to 120 days, it requires less water and other inputs than sugarcane. Ceres' sweet sorghum products were planted on more than 3,000 hectares this past season, with more than 30 mills. Grown primarily for its biomass productivity rather than sugar content, high biomass sorghum is an energy crop that can be used as feedstock for biopower, such as heat and electricity.
