AMCON Distributing Company (“AMCON”) (NYSE MKT:DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska based consumer products company is pleased to announce fully diluted earnings per share of $2.11 on net income available to common shareholders of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014.
“We are pleased with our start to fiscal 2015. Our relentless focus on customer service and reliability leads to a virtuous circle of profitability for our Customers and AMCON,” said Christopher H. Atayan, AMCON’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He further noted, “Our focused strategic plan continues to position us as a leader in the Convenience Distribution industry. AMCON is actively seeking acquisitions that can benefit from our extensive platform of services.”
“One of our goals is to develop our business in higher margin non-traditional products. In particular, foodservice continues to be an area of focus as our sales in this category grow,” said Kathleen M. Evans, President of AMCON’s Wholesale Distribution Segment.
“Industry growth in the retail health food sector has led to greater competition from new market entrants and has pressured sales. We have carefully rationalized our expense structure while maintaining our customary high level of customer service,” said Eric Hinkefent, President of AMCON’s Retail Health Food Segment.
“We continue to invest in information technology for internal and external purposes as well as our foodservice capability across the entire Company now that the Rapid City, South Dakota expansion is complete,” said Andrew C. Plummer, AMCON’s Chief Financial Officer. Plummer added, “The nationwide trend of lower fuel prices helps our expense structure; however, our emphasis on growing the foodservice category requires refrigerated delivery equipment that increases fuel consumption. Additionally, we are logging more miles as we expand our territory to better serve our customers. We were pleased to close the December 31, 2014 quarter with shareholders’ equity of $58.0 million and consolidated debt of $24.8 million.”
AMCON is a leading wholesale distributor of consumer products, including beverages, candy, tobacco, groceries, foodservice, frozen and chilled foods, and health and beauty care products with locations in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Tennessee.
