American Vanguard announces Q3 EPS of 43 cents compared to a loss of 91 cents last year.
Reports Q3 revenue $119M vs. $118M last year. Dak Kaye, CEO of American Vanguard, stated "Since joining the company 11 months ago, my message has been to simplify, prioritize and deliver. I can see that our efforts to follow that mantra are yielding positive results. In the midst of a challenging agricultural environment, we experienced improved results compared to the year ago period. Greater manufacturing efficiency, lower net trade working capital, and reduced operational expenses have contributed to higher gross profit margins and a substantial improvement in EBITDA. By controlling the things that we can control and leaning into our customers' needs, we have achieved these results in the midst of industry-wide uncertainty. Looking forward, we see signs of greater stability in our markets as we finish out the year and head into 2026. Against this backdrop, I am pleased to reiterate our full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA target in the range of $40 million to $44 million. In addition, in future filings and communications we intend to change the nomenclature of our non-crop business to the Specialty business. We think that changing the name to Specialty will help to put a clearer focus on the world-class technologies that this business is bringing to market and align the business terminology with our peers."
