Cargill reports fourth-quarter and fiscal 2008 earnings:

MINNEAPOLIS – Cargill today reported earnings from continuing operations of $744 million in the 2008 fourth quarter ended May 31, up 18 percent from $628 million in the same period a year ago. A $310 million gain on the sale of discontinued operations brought fourth-quarter net earnings to $1.05 billion.

For the full fiscal year, Cargill earned $3.64 billion from continuing operations, a 55 percent increase from $2.34 billion a year ago. The $310 million gain on the sale of discontinued operations in the fourth quarter brought fiscal 2008 net earnings to $3.95 billion.

Revenues for the full year rose 36 percent to $120.4 billion. Cash flow from operations increased 77 percent to $7 billion.

“Cargill posted a record financial performance in a year of exceptionally strong commodity demand, market turbulence and price risk,” said Greg Page, Cargill chairman and chief executive officer. “By bringing to bear our business diversity, the full capacity of our global assets, strong risk management and a significant increase in capital deployed, we operated successfully in the most volatile agricultural and energy markets in decades. Despite tight stocks of many agricultural commodities, we maintained reliable supply chains for our customers and created value-adding solutions.”
