Omaha, NE, August 5, 2026 - 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 $2.85 on net income available to common shareholders of $2.7 million for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026.
“AMCON’s operating philosophy has always been centered on a superior level of customer service. We are seeing the benefits of our approach and the associated commitment in facilities and geographic reach to support our retail partners,” 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 desire to align with our customer focused approach philosophy and further the legacy of their enterprises.”
“AMCON’s ability to deliver product in an efficient fashion is a key strategic benefit to our retail partners in an era of rising costs,” said Andrew C. Plummer, AMCON’s President and Chief Operating Officer. He further noted, “AMCON’s broad geographic scope enables us to service customers across multiple time zones. 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, especially in support of foodservice.”
For the fiscal quarter ended June 2026, the wholesale distribution segment reported revenues of $824.7 million and operating income of $9.2 million, and the retail health food segment reported revenues of $10.7 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 June 30, 2026, our shareholders’ equity was $115.5 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. We were pleased to be able to divest two of our facilities in the third quarter which enabled us to realize greater operating efficiency as a result.”
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 thirteen (13) distribution centers in Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia.
