Net income for this period was $723,356 (or $0.0226 per share), compared to $1,520,319 (or $0.0474 per share) for the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of 52%.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $23,217,858 compared to $31,622,142 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of 27%. Income before taxes for the nine months ending September 30th of this year was $1,391,299, compared to the 2019 figure of $6,385,665, a decrease of 78%. Net income for this period was $1,112,982 (or $0.0347 per share), compared to $5,062,192 (or $0.1579 per share) for the same period a year ago, a decrease of 78%.

Tim Anderson, President and CEO of Armanino Foods stated, “We are pleased our profits for this third quarter reversed the losses we incurred last quarter and that we remain profitable on a year to date basis. Specifically, this quarter’s net income of $723,356 more than made up for the <$715,883> net loss we incurred last quarter. Since the height of the pandemic in April 2020, the Company experienced consistent growth in sales and profits ending the second quarter with net income starting in June 2020. This growth trend continued into the third quarter where we ended with a surge in sales at the end of the quarter which prompted us to increase production to meet the higher demand.”

Anderson continued, “Our efforts to reposition the Company for recovery from the current economic environment for sustained future growth is working as illustrated by the consistent increase in sales, positive reversal of margins and continued cost reductions across all functions within the Company. Given our financial resources, the strength of our brand, and proven track record of management excellence, we have confidence in our ability to achieve our long-term vision for the Company despite the current economic environment.”

Anderson concluded, “While we are hopeful that the worst of the COVID 19 effects are behind, current market conditions and near-term demand growth are uncertain, so we remain guarded with our financial outlook for the remainder of the year.”

$AMNF Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. Declares a Regular Quarterly Dividend Of $0.0175
Press Release | 09/21/2020
Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (OTC Pink: AMNF) today announced that its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0175 per share. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on October 1, 2020 and will be disbursed on or about October 26, 2020. This is the Company’s 81st consecutive quarterly dividend. In addition, the Company has had ten special dividends.

Douglas R. Nichols, Chairman of the board stated, “Armanino Foods is pleased that we are able to continue our proud tradition of rewarding our shareholders with another quarterly dividend as we are confident that the worst of the COVID 19 effects are behind us and our current positive financial results will continue. Similar to what we did in the prior quarter, rather than resume paying our dividend at our previous rate of $0.0275 per share, we will pay down our line of credit with the $320,000 in savings from the dividend reduction.”

Tim Anderson, President and CEO commented, “Starting in June 2020, the Company has achieved a consistent month over month growth in our sales and profitability. We expect this trend to continue through the end of the third quarter ending September 30, 2020. A surge in sales orders this month have prompted us to increase production to fulfill the demand. With the increase in sales and along with it margins, as well as multiple cost cutting measures, we have enough working capital to continue to fund our operations, while at the same time embarking upon a series of growth initiatives beyond our current business model. We are confident that given our financial resources, the strength of our brand, and our proven track record of management excellence, that we will be successful in executing these initiatives. However, we remain guarded in providing guidance on our financial outlook for the remainder of this year due to unprecedented uncertainty regarding the COVID 19 pandemic.”

$AMNF OTC DISCLOSURE & NEWS SERVICE
Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. Declares a Regular Quarterly Dividend Of $0.0175
Press Release | 06/19/2020
Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (OTC Pink: AMNF) today announced that its board of directors have declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0175 per share. This level is a decrease of approximately 36% from the prior regular quarterly dividend amount of $0.0275. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on July 1, 2020 and will be disbursed on or about July 24, 2020. This is the Company’s 80th consecutive quarterly dividend. In addition, the Company has had ten special dividends.

Douglas R. Nichols, Chairman of the board stated, “As previously disclosed, we expect to report a loss for our second quarter ending June 30, 2020; however, thanks to the strength of our balance sheet, Armanino Foods will continue our proud tradition of rewarding our shareholders with a quarterly dividend payment despite the adverse effect that the COVID 19 pandemic has had on our business in Q2. Because we are seeing sales continue to improve and have implemented many cost savings measures since the beginning of the pandemic, we are comfortable with paying a reduced dividend, and are confident of our financial position even if a second wave of the virus emerges. The $320,000 savings from the dividend reduction will be utilized to payoff an equipment loan with a balance that closely approximates the dividend savings. That loan was otherwise scheduled to mature at the end of 2022. This strategy, coupled with our cost reductions across all functions, enables us to reinvest in our core business and strategic growth initiatives. Due to unprecedented uncertainty regarding the COVID 19 pandemic, we remain guarded on the outlook of our financial performance for the remainder of this year. It is the board’s intention to reinstate the dividend to $0.0275 per share as soon as business conditions return to historic levels.”

AMNF Now pink current

Any idea why they're dumping on Armanino? Good earnings, increased the dividend 10% last quarter... What's not to like?

Is locating in California the problem?

News: $AMNF Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc., Reports Highest Quarterly Net Sales and Earnings in Its History

Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (OTC Pink: AMNF) today reported its highest quarterly net sales and earnings ever, as well as record breaking sales and earnings for the six month period ending June 30, 2019. Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 were $11,518,343 compare...

As Amigo Mike predicted in July, AMNF reported a 3Q 2018 somewhat softer than the company's all time record breaking performance in Q2 2018. Q2 may have been helped in part by customers stocking up on product prior to AMNF raising prices, causing a bit of a subsequent letdown in Q3.

Nevertheless, Q3 2018 was still the company's second best quarter ever. Sales were up 7% and operating income before taxes was up 12% over Q3 2017. Q3 net operating income after taxes was up a stellar 36% YoY, no doubt helped along by the reduction in federal corporate income tax rates that became effective in 2018.

Overall, Q3 2018 was another very solid quarter for AMNF. The company continues to invest in efforts to expand production capacity and efficiency, some of which should be in place near the end of this year or soon after. New products are being developed and digital marketing efforts are being improved. Management reports that the company continues to enjoy a very strong cash position.

Still wish AMNF would find a way to broaden geographical product distribution. As far as I know, AMNF's products remain unavailable in my region. Very happy with the performance of AMNF's stock, though! Looking look forward to collecting another nice dividend on October 26th.

AMNF MGMT just keeps delivering ! Another solid quarter.

Amigo Mike

I’ve been in AMNF for several years. Been in since below .50. Mgmt continues to deliver year after year and cant beat the divvy the company continues to pay out. Wouldn’t shock me to see another specialty divvy this year ... or higher increases to the regular divvy.

I do think that we’ve seen qtrly increases in revenue just before a price hike before so I’d expect a softer 3rd qtr. But all in all, continues to deliver.

Amigo Mike

AMNF turns in a smashing 2Q 2018! Sales up 12%, income before taxes up 24%, and net income up 51%. All these increases are versus 2Q 2017, which until now was the company's best quarter ever for both sales and income.

The huge increase in net income was significantly driven by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate which went into effect at the start of 2018.

Looking ahead, AMNF reports adequate cash on hand and a strong sales pipeline. In 1Q 2018 the company started using some of the additional cash flow resulting from the corporate tax rate reduction to invest in strategic initiatives related to product development, digital marketing, and tax planning. These investments will continue at least through the remainder of 2018.

3Q 2018 sales might be somewhat weaker due to customers ordering extra product in 2Q in advance of a price increase that took effect July 1st. AMNF mentioned rising cost pressures in their 1Q 2018 report, which I speculated at the time might mean AMNF would increase prices sometime this year.

Wish AMNF would do something about increasing the geographic availability of their product line (distribution). As far as I know, AMNF's products aren't available in the area where I live. Management seems to know what they are doing, though. Practically every quarter since I invested in AMNF some years ago now, the company has reported either record sales, income, or both. The dividend has more than doubled, too, with a nice boost almost every year.

All the hot money seems to have left the stock over the past few years. The price hasn't moved up all that much despite consistently good reports, and volume has sort of dried up. Maybe AMNF stock is now poised for better market performance? Getting hard to believe that won't be the case, if they can keep delivering quarters like this last one. I'm certainly happy with AMNF today, and intend to continue to stick around hopeful for more of the same in the future.

Record 2018Q1 sales up 4%, but operating income was down 3%. Net income was up a strong 18% benefiting from recent tax law changes. EBITDA was up 1%. All these figures are for 2018Q1 versus 2017Q1.

These results show weakening operating performance due to some margin pressure, though overall net profits benefited in a major way from the new lower corporate tax rates. Part of the margin deterioration was due to investment in a strategic planning initiative to improve future sales and profitability. However, management also cited rising cost pressures for raw materials and packaging.

Asian market sales turned in the first strong performance in a while. Management made no mention of significant unspecified sales opportunities being entertained currently as they have sometimes done in the past. They did mention actively managing costs and margins going forward.

Overall, a solid, but not stellar Q1 for AMNF. It's possible it would have been better had bad weather in the NE USA not postponed some orders. The recent 12.5% dividend boost is a nice benefit to shareholders. Company continues to grow, maintaining a strong balance sheet and healthy order pipeline.

Rising cost pressures are a concern. We shall see how effectively they can be controlled. Expect AMNF to boost prices sometime later this year to help maintain margins.

Nice to get the dividend increase. A little surprised we didn't move up a little bit today

What is going on with volume and purchases right now? Barely any trading it seems.

Good wrapup set

rarely we see both ends with such percision

AMNF smashing it again in Q4 2017! Record sales up 12%, net income from continuing operations before taxes up 15%, net income including one-time gains up 53%.

More good news to come in 2018 as well. Federal tax rate drops from 34% to 21% in 2018. New plant completed in 2017 enables push into new markets. Strong cash position enabling more promotional efforts. Domestic pipeline is strong.

Negatives? Asian markets remain weak. Management didn't mention it, but I've read recently that California might increase state corporate taxes to take about half of the recent federal corporate tax reduction away. Don't know what the status of that possibility is.

AMNF been really doing well in last 3 months. Plant expansion done, may be poised for a great 2018.

Excellent Q3 report. Slow and steady here with continued growth.

AMNF looking fine, doing good! Q3 sales up 7% over 2016 Q3. Highest quarterly earnings ever, with an increase in earnings per share of 15% over 2016 Q3. Plant expansion completed on time and within budget. Now operating out of the new facility.

A little choppy water in Asia with sales still sluggish there, other than that - smooth sailing. Our ship is coming in!

Thought I'd revisit, see what's happening since I sold over a year ago. Not much.

Trueheart

No one is letting me buy more shares??

I hope someone sells me 195 shares @ 2.15 today

Been in this stock awhile... plan to be in it awhile longer. A little surprised it hasn't steadily gone up more.

Q1 2017 set records for a Q1 with sales (+1%) and profits (+3%) up over Q1 2016 despite a 2nd Q in a row of weakness in Asian markets. The plant expansion is still expected to be complete by the end of Q3 2017.

The big news was that subsequent to the end of Q1, AMNF secured business from a new and substantial US customer. This important news bodes well for the future. The company anticipates fulfilling initial orders in the next few months.

This is great news! Lack of adequate distribution has held AMNF back for a long time. With the new plant expansion being completed soon, AMNF is in a strong position to fulfill orders from this and other new customers. The company has often referred to unspecified exciting new opportunities that they have been working on in quarterly reports over the past several years. Maybe this new customer is the start of the realization of some of these possibilities? At any rate, although Q1 2107 saw only modest increases to results, the company appears poised for accelerated growth.

Hang in there, everyone. Looking like a strong finish to 2017 for AMNF to me!

Agreed. I don't see it dropping much. If it goes to $2.15 I will be adding more.

Oh, I do like it! AMNF is one of the few stocks I've held onto in this increasingly overpriced market. Lots to like here. I do expect it to trade a little softer after this last mildly disappointing quarterly report, but still expect great things ahead. Furthermore, it's barely more than 2 months until AMNF will likely report Q1 2017 results in mid-April, so good news may not be that long in coming. I'm not going anywhere. Been well rewarded over time for sticking with AMNF, and look forward to more of the same.

Solid company with a decent dividend. What's not to like here?

Record 2016 sales (+3%) and net income (+5%) despite a weaker Q4. Q4 2016 was down compared to Q4 2015 for both sales (-5%) and net income (-6%). Management cites notably weaker Asian sales due to a weaker economy in that part of the world as the reason. The domestic market remained strong.

The company's previously announced $3.5 million expansion plans to keep up with food safety requirements and expected sales increases are expected to be complete by the end of Q3 2017. AMNF also continues to invest in promotional efforts.

Management cites several exciting and significant opportunities they expect to close in 2017, but without giving any details.

AMNF remains financially solid. Management continues to express a cautiously optimistic outlook. 2016 was another record breaking year. Q4 2016 was another solid and profitable quarter, but not another record-breaker.

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (OTC Pink: AMNF) reported its highest quarterly and year to date sales and earnings ever.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2016 were $9,388,778 compared to $8,488,032 for the same period last year, an increase of 11%. Income from continuing operations before taxes for Q3 2016 were $1,822,134 compared to $1,586,641 for the same quarter in 2015, an increase of 15%. Earnings per share in Q3 2016 were $0.036 compared to $0.030 in Q3 2015, an increase of 20%.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2016 were $27,084,339 compared to $25,641,861 for the same period in 2015, an increase of 6%. Income from continuing operations in this period for 2016 were $5,279,123 compared to the 2015 figure of $5,021,088, an increase of 5%. Earnings per share for the nine months of 2016 amounted to $0.104 compared to the $0.096 posted in 2015, an increase of 8%.

Edmond J. Pera, President and CEO of Armanino Foods stated, “Financial performance in both our US and Asian markets was strong this quarter. We achieved higher quarterly sales with existing customers across all of our core products. As we stated in last quarter’s report, timing delays in closing several domestic deals affected sales in the Q2. Those same Q2 delayed sales were booked in Q3 and were part of the growth in our sales this quarter.”

Pera continued, “Our Board of Directors recently gave its approval for us to secure a $3.5 million credit facility to expand our manufacturing plant capacity. This project is expected to help us double our plant capacity, and increase production efficiencies. The Company also negotiated an extension of the lease on its existing plant facility. This extension carries a 5 year term beginning January 1, 2017, and contains two 5 year renewal options. Construction for the plant expansion project is scheduled to begin around the end of December 2016, and expected to be completed shortly after the end of the first quarter of 2017.”

Pera concluded, “The Company is cautiously optimistic about it financial performance for the remainder of this year. We continue to work on several significant domestic relationships that we are trying to close before year end. We remain guarded on our outlook with our Asian markets due to continued weak economic conditions in that part of the world. Our current sales pipeline and cash position remain strong.”

I don't care about news here awesome management! Divy great growth easy to predict bounces! Perfect stock to buy,trade,hold! If I had mad cash I would buy a lot more I mean a lot!

Good question. I believe that mgmt provides an update with the quarterly earnings report in a couple weeks.

Amigo Mike

Any word on their expansion plans?

AMNF should post 3rd qtr results in about 2 weeks. F3Q15 was a bit weak so should have a favorable compare assuming no hiccups in the qtr.

Steady as she goes.
