Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. Reports Highest Quarterly and Annual Sales and Profits in Company’s History; Increases Stock Buyback Program to $12MPress Release | 03/03/2025
Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (OTCQX: AMNF) reported its highest quarterly and annual sales and profits ever. This marks the 3rd quarter in a row of record breaking quarterly results. Armanino extended its consecutive year to date profitability streak to 85 quarters.
Additionally, the Board authorized a $5M increase to the Company’s existing stock buyback program elevating the total amount authorized from $7M to $12M. Under this program the Company is authorized to buy back shares of its common stock in the open market, through block trades, and/or private transactions as permitted by applicable legal requirements. As of 2/28/25, the Company has expended a total of $3.2M under the program, and has a remaining $8.8M available for additional purchases.
Douglas R. Nichols, Chairman of the Board stated, “The Board is pleased to announce this $5M increase to the Company’s stock buyback program. This decision reflects the Board’s confidence in management’s ability to continue to operate at high levels and deliver strong results for the long-term as evidenced by the financial results disclosed within this earnings release.”
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $18.5M compared to $16.1M for the same period last year, an increase of 15%. Income before taxes for Q4 2024 was $5.6M compared to $3.4M for the same quarter in 2023, an increase of 65%. Net income for this period was $4.2M (or $.13 per share), compared to $2.6M (or $.08 per share) for the same quarter a year ago, an increase of 62% (or 63% on a per share basis).
Net sales for the year ending December 31, 2024 were $69.4M compared to $63.6M for the same period last year, an increase of 9%. Income before taxes for 2024 was $19.4M, compared to the 2023 amount of $11.7M, an increase of 66%. Annual net income for 2024 was $14.4M (or $0.45 per share), compared to $8.8M (or $0.27 per share) posted in 2023, an increase of 64% (or 67% on a per share basis). The Company will timely report 2024 audited results within OTCQX guidelines.
Net working capital for the period ending December 31, 2024 increased to a record breaking level of $26.6M, from $23.4M on December 31, 2023, an increase of 14%. Total current assets increased by $6.4M or 18%, to $42.0M at the end of Q4 2024, compared to $35.6M at the end of Q4 2023 driven by strong sales and profitability. As an offset, current liabilities increased by $3.2M, or by 26%, to $15.4M at the end of Q4 2024 from $12.2M at the end of Q4 2023. The increase in current liabilities was largely driven by the effect of the Company’s increase in market valuation which resulted in higher accruals for its Phantom Stock incentive program.
Edgar Estonina, CFO as well as acting President and CEO, stated, “We are very proud of our record breaking performance this year. We have consistently shattered our annual year over year sales and profits for a second year in a row; and, for three quarters in a row we have consistently achieved the highest quarterly sales and profits ever. The key drivers behind this performance have largely been the successful implementation of our sales and operational strategies which included better procurement of raw materials, and improved manufacturing and process efficiencies associated with the Company’s ongoing capital improvement projects. Additionally, we benefited from one-time benefits in the fourth quarter associated with the refund of previous trade spend deductions, as well as volume discounts related to the procurement of raw materials.”
Estonina concluded, “We remain somewhat cautious in the near term as we believe there is some indication of industry slowdown. To mitigate the potential for lower demand we will continue to seek further operational efficiencies in pursuit of improving our already low-cost structure, and continue to pursue competitive pricing on our supplies and raw materials. Management remains confident in the Company’s financial position. Net working capital is at an all-time high. We remain committed to making appropriate investments to grow sales profitably with a focus on new products, new markets, operational efficiencies, and potential acquisitions.”
