1. The Company has a dual class share structure with
differential voting rights;
About SunRice’s structure
The structure of Ricegrowers Limited (trading as
SunRice) contains Non-Standard Elements, including:
2. The Company’s constitution imposes shareholding
limits on A Class Shares and B Class Shares; and
3. The Company’s constitution outlines the composition
of the Board of Directors.
Details of these Non-Standard Elements are available on
SunRice’s website. One of the conditions of the
Company’s admission to the official list of the ASX in
2019 was the provision by SunRice of an undertaking to
the ASX that it would disclose, in this year’s Annual
Report, whether it had considered removing the NonStandard Elements from its structure and operations,
and if it had decided not to remove the Non-Standard
Elements for the time being, its reasons for this.
The SunRice Board periodically reviews the NonStandard Elements of the Company’s share capital
structure to assess whether the structure continues to be
in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders
generally and whether any changes should be made. The
business is currently conducting a strategic review which
will include a review of its structure and operations,
including the Non-Standard Elements of the Company’s
share capital structure. Any significant recommendations
arising from this review will be the subject of discussion
with the ASX and may ultimately require shareholder
approval.
It should be noted that the interests of A Class
Shareholders are in achieving returns through Paddy
Prices. The interests of B Class Shareholders are in
achieving dividends on B Class Shares and improvement
in the market price of B Class Shares.
The Directors are required to act in the best interests of
the Company as a whole. SunRice’s Directors have
actively managed the interests of both A Class and B
Class shareholders, in a listed environment on both the
NSX and ASX for more than 17 years and the Directors
believe they have demonstrated a strong track record in
balancing the interests of both classes of shareholders. In
addition, the Board has adopted procedures to manage
any potential conflict or divergence of interests which
may arise, including establishing a committee of nongrower Directors (the Independent Committee). These
procedures are set out in the SunRice Conflict of Interest
Policy and the Paddy Pricing Policy. Copies of both
policies are also available on SunRice’s website.

SunRice’s structure see: investors.sunrice.com.au

FY24 YEAR IN REVIEW - REALISING GLOBAL POTENTIAL
In FY24 we achieved another year of strong growth across
the SunRice Group. We made significant gains, as we look
to lay the foundations to realise further potential ahead.
FY24’s performance was driven by the efforts
of our team and underpinned by our:
Ongoing successful implementation of
the SunRice Group’s Growth Strategy:
We continued to realise the potential of
our previous key portfolio acquisitions
and strategic operational decisions, while
exploring additional opportunities.
Discipline and agility in navigating
challenging conditions and turning
opportunities into advantages:
Including being nimble in overcoming
supply chain challenges and adaptive to
volatile market dynamics, while seizing
opportunities for our diversified portfolio
Connection between our brands and
and sourcing model to satisfy consumer
supply chain: Specifically, the relevance
demand in global markets.
and strength of our consumer brands, our
continued focus on product
Combined, these factors supported our
diversification and innovation, and the
international market expansion with
connection of both to our integrated
more than half of our Group revenue
supply chain, which underpins our
realised outside of Australia in FY24.

FY24 Sustainability
Highlights
We continued to embed sustainability into
our business across six priority areas.
During the year, SunRice made
significant progress on a number of
programs. The Group:
• Supported trials, using V071, to
assess the impact of various sowing
and irrigation techniques to reduce
Greenhouse Gases and increase
water efficiency.
• Undertook a gap analysis on the
International Sustainability
Standards Board’s (ISSB)
Sustainability Reporting Standards,
which incorporates the
requirements of the Task Force on
Climate-Related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD).
• Continued to make progress on
meeting our Australian Packaging
Covenant Organisation (APCO)
targets, with 91% of packaging (by
weight) now recyclable and 16% (by
weight) made from recycled
content.
1.
• Submitted our emissions reduction
targets (against a baseline year
of CY22/FY23) for validation to the
Science Based Target initiative (SBTi)
and started drafting our Net Zero
Roadmap to meet the Group's
commitment to Net Zero by 2050. The
Roadmap and our emissions
reduction targets will be disclosed in
FY25.
• Continued evolving our approach to
managing modern slavery in our
supply chain by introducing a new
Supplier Assessment Questionnaire,
integrating human rights into our new
Procurement Policy and enhancing
our approach to supplier screening
and due diligence approach.
• Maintained SunRice manufacturing
site certification to Global Food Safety
Initiative recognised standard.

FY24 YEAR IN REVIEW - REALISING GLOBAL POTENTIAL
FY24
Activity
Revenue
Profitability
Volume growth
Value growth
• Approximately 70% of the Group’s sales related to
branded product in FY24.
• The strength of the Group’s brands was further
demonstrated in the revenue growth achieved in
FY24, with sales pricing strategies implemented to
help absorb inflationary impacts that weighed on
profitability in the prior year.
• Our strong portfolio of brands, together with our
discipline in balancing our branded and
unbranded product mix to maximise returns and
our operating plant efficiencies, meant that we
were able to grow volume during the year.
• These factors were a key driver in both the
Australian Rice Pool Business and International
Rice segment and allowed us to expand our
branded product offering in the Middle East, take
advantage of abundant rice supply in the Riverina
to support growth into Europe and the United
Kingdom, and to participate in additional
government tenders, primarily
in Japan.
• The inflationary environment resulted in some
market share erosion to lower price offerings in
some categories.
• Product innovation and a broader, diverse and
stronger portfolio of brands resulting from
acquisitions in previous years helped to mitigate
these impacts.
• Growth in profitability was supported by the Group’s
ability to navigate challenging and volatile conditions
and to implement cost saving initiatives.
• The Group undertook operational and manufacturing
efficiencies across its various businesses, and
CopRice’s strategic actions from the current and prior
years continued to deliver margin improvements.
• SunRice’s extensive supply chain network also
enabled sourcing at competitive prices and the ability
to react efficiently to changes in supply and demand
dynamics by adapting strategic sourcing strategies as
required.
• Excellence in supply chain and logistics also allowed
capitalisation on improvements in global freight
conditions, although supply chain disruptions in the
Pacific and the Middle East partly offset these gains.
• The stronger USD throughout the period put pressure
on the margins of our import businesses, particularly
Riviana and Trukai in PNG.

FY24 Segment snapshot
Australian Rice
Pool Business
Profit Businesses
Rice Pool
Volume growth in key international retail
and tender markets, together with
favourable foreign exchange on exports
drove a significant uplift in revenue.
However, the return of Northern
Hemisphere supply post drought
increased competition and triggered a
significant drop in international tender
pricing as the year progressed. This
affected the CY23 Paddy Price outcome,
as did carryover volumes in the Riverina.
International Rice
Volume growth in key international
markets, sales pricing strategies to help
absorb inflationary impacts, improved
shipping conditions and cost saving
initiatives supported a strong revenue
and profitability uplift.

This growth was achieved despite

exchange impacts and affordability
pressures in key Pacific markets.
Paddy Price/tonne (Medium Grain)
CY23/FY24
Riviana Foods
Product innovation and brand strength
helped to offset the ongoing high cost
of globally sourced products,
unfavourable foreign exchange on
imports and a shift in consumer
spending patterns towards lower price
offerings in some categories. However,
these factors continued to impact FY24
profit overall.
CopRice
Challenges in the equine and ruminant
sectors, particularly in New Zealand,
impacted performance. However,
volume growth in the companion
animal and agricultural retail sectors,
sales pricing strategies to help absorb
inflationary impacts and the ongoing
execution of turnaround activities
supported a significant uplift in
CopRice’s performance.
Corporate
The sale of non-core assets allowed the
business to absorb non-recurring costs
associated with the refresh of our
Growth Strategy and other costs
associated with an increased risk of
doing business in some markets.
Profitability was however negatively
impacted by impairment charges.

The Group’s leverage ratio was 1.6x at 30 April 2024
compared to 2.5x at 30 April 2023.
We continue to exercise discipline in our capital
management to allow us to utilise our strong balance
sheet to seize further opportunities to consolidate
our market leading positions, pursue further
innovation and diversify our earnings.
27%
Seasonal debt is driven, in part, by the timing and size of
harvests, in particular the value and size of the carryover, as
well as the payment capacity of some of our businesses.
This improvement reflects the strong EBITDA
generated in FY24 and the slight decrease in net
working capital from $479 million at 30 April 2023 to
