AMCON Distributing Company Reports Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

AMCON Distributing Company (“AMCON” or “the Company”) (NYSE American: DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska based Convenience and Foodservice Distributor, is pleased to announce fully diluted earnings per share of $2.46 on net income available to common shareholders of $1.5 million for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“AMCON’s customer-centric philosophy is a competitive advantage in this economic environment, as our customers rely on our ability to deliver a timely flow of goods and services. Foodservice, technology platforms, and associated staffing for these strategic areas are a central focus of our management team. We are committed to making the investments necessary to compete in the marketplace,” said Christopher H. Atayan, AMCON’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He further noted, “We welcome our new team members and customers from our recently completed acquisition of Richmond Master Distributors, Inc. AMCON is committed to pursuing strategic acquisition opportunities in the Convenience Distributor and Foodservice sectors.”

“Labor shortages, supply chain issues, inflation, volatility in energy prices, and the impact of rising interest rates continue to present challenges for our business,” said Andrew C. Plummer, AMCON’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Plummer added, “Our recent acquisitions have enhanced our geographic reach to better serve our customers as they grow their store footprints.”

Charles J. Schmaderer, AMCON’s Chief Financial Officer said, “Sales for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $717.9 million and the Company ended the fiscal period with total shareholders’ equity of approximately $110.0 million. We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position and recent amendments to our bank credit facilities provided additional flexibility to pursue our strategic objectives that materialized during the quarter.” Mr. Schmaderer also added, “We continue to invest in the final completion of our 175,000 square foot distribution facility in Springfield, Missouri. In addition, we are also deploying capital in enhanced foodservice capabilities in our recently purchased 250,000 square foot distribution facility in Colorado City, Colorado, and we opened a new retail location in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.”

AMCON, and its subsidiaries Team Sledd, LLC and Henry’s Foods, Inc., is a leading Convenience and Foodservice Distributor of consumer products, including beverages, candy, tobacco, groceries, foodservice, frozen and refrigerated foods, automotive supplies and health and beauty care products with thirteen (13) distribution centers in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Through its Healthy Edge Retail Group, AMCON operates fifteen (15) health and natural product retail stores in the Midwest and Florida.

A number of factors could affect the future results of the Company and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements including, without limitation, availability of sufficient cash resources to conduct its business and meet its capital expenditures needs and the other factors described under Item 1.A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance.
