In this article:

OMAHA, Neb., July 18, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMCON Distributing Company ("AMCON" or "Company") (NYSE American: DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska based consumer products company, is pleased to announce fully diluted earnings per share of $6.59 on net income available to common shareholders of $3.9 million for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023.

"We have begun the integration of an expanded foodservice platform now available for our customer base as a result of our recent acquisition of Henry’s Foods," said Christopher H. Atayan, AMCON’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Atayan further noted, "AMCON continues to seek out acquisition opportunities for convenience and foodservice distributors who want to align with the Company’s growing platform and customer centric management philosophy."

The wholesale distribution segment reported revenues of $685.7 million and operating income of $11.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The retail health food segment reported revenues of $10.7 million and an operating loss of $0.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

"Foodservice and our technology suite of services are strategic areas of focus. Our customer base is growing, and we continue to search for facilities in and adjacent to our current service area," said Andrew C. Plummer, AMCON’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Plummer further noted, "We are actively seeking to hire industry leading talent in all areas of our organization to support our growth."

"Our working capital position is strong. As a core operating principle, we are highly liquid and able to take advantage of strategic opportunities in the marketplace," said Charles J. Schmaderer, AMCON’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Schmaderer further noted, "AMCON ended the quarter with $100.9 million of consolidated shareholders’ equity."

AMCON is a leading convenience distributor of consumer products, including beverages, candy, tobacco, groceries, foodservice, frozen and refrigerated foods, automotive supplies and health and beauty care products servicing approximately 6,800 retail stores through distribution centers in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia. AMCON, through its Healthy Edge Retail Group, also operates seventeen (17) health and natural product retail stores in the Midwest and Florida.

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties and which reflect management's current beliefs and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, Company performance and financial results. 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. Accordingly, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to all such forward-looking statements.
