American Vanguard Confirms 2023 and 2024 Targets

Conference Call Scheduled for Wednesday, January 31 at 5:00 pm ET

American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE: AVD), today announced key metrics from its preliminary and unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Eric Wintemute, Chairman and CEO of American Vanguard commented, “During our third quarter earnings report in November, we indicated expectations for the full year 2023 and our targets for 2024. While we have not completed our full audit cycle, I am pleased to report that based on our preliminary evaluation, we have ended the quarter and the year broadly in line with our targets and are now reiterating our 2024 expectations. Additionally, in the fourth quarter, we greatly strengthened our balance sheet with debt reduction fueled by higher sales, inventory reductions, and customer pre-payments. Based on preliminary numbers, the delivery of our stronger balance sheet has put us in a strong position to meet our debt-to-EBITDA target of approximately 2.75X. Furthermore, our business and digital transformation initiatives are underway. These efforts will lead to improved operating leverage and a more efficient platform for growth, which we look forward to discussing on the call.”
