AMCON Distributing Company Reports Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2025

AMCON Distributing Company (“AMCON” or “the Company”) (NYSE American: DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska based Convenience and Foodservice Distributor, is pleased to announce fully diluted earnings per share of $1.28 on net income available to common shareholders of $0.8 million for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.

“AMCON’s industry leading suite of programs and services provides the foundational support for our operating philosophy centered on a superior level of customer service. AMCON’s commitment to proprietary foodservice programs and custom curated store level merchandising is a value-added approach to convenience distribution. We now have the capability to offer turn-key solutions that will enable our retail partners the ability to compete head-on with the Quick Service Restaurant industry,” said Christopher H. Atayan, AMCON’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He further noted, “We continue to actively seek strategic acquisition opportunities for Convenience and Foodservice Distributors, and their families, who want to align with our customer focused approach philosophy and further the legacy of their enterprises.”

“Our customer-centric approach provides extraordinary value to our retail partners in challenging weather conditions as our AMCON teams ensure a consistent and timely flow of goods and services. As we grow, our customer base has demonstrated enthusiasm for our integrated state-of-the-art advertising, design, print and electronic display programs. These marketing tools provide our customers a competitive edge,” said Andrew C. Plummer, AMCON’s President and Chief Operating Officer.

For the fiscal quarter ended December 2025, the wholesale distribution segment reported revenues of $719.3 million and operating income of $6.9 million, and the retail health food segment reported revenues of $10.8 million and an operating loss of $0.2 million.

“We continue our relentless daily focus on managing the Company’s balance sheet and maximizing our liquidity position. At December 31, 2025, our shareholders’ equity was $114.1 million,” said Charles J. Schmaderer, AMCON’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Schmaderer also added, “Cost structures for Convenience Distributors have been impacted by the cumulative impact of inflation over a multi-year period. These inflationary pressures have resulted in higher operating expenses in areas such as product costs, labor and employee benefits, equipment, and insurance.”

AMCON, and its subsidiaries Team Sledd, LLC and Henry’s Foods, Inc., is a leading Convenience and Foodservice Distributor of consumer products, including beverages, candy, tobacco, groceries, foodservice, frozen and refrigerated foods, automotive supplies and health and beauty care products serving thirty-four (34) states from fourteen (14) distribution centers in Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia.
