NEWS RELEASE
Omaha, NE, January 19, 2011 AMCON Distributing Company (AMCON) (NYSE AMEX:DIT), an Omaha,
Nebraska based consumer products company is pleased to announce fully diluted earnings per share of
$2.41 on net income available to common stockholders of $1.8 million for the first fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2010.
We were pleased with the performance this quarter. Management is steadfastly focused on delivering
a premium level of service to our customers. We believe this philosophy enhances our customers
bottom line which ultimately benefits our shareholders, said Christopher H. Atayan, AMCONs
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Each of AMCONs business segments had solid quarters. The wholesale distribution segment reported
revenues of $236.0 million and operating income before depreciation and amortization of $5.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The retail health food segment reported revenues of
$9.1 million and operating income before depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million for the same
period.
We are working closely with our customers on a wide variety of initiatives designed to enhance
their profitability and efficiency. This close level of interaction is mutually beneficial and is
the platform that drove our performance again this quarter, said Kathleen Evans, President of
AMCONs wholesale distribution segment.
The natural foods segment is particularly sensitive to economic trends. We have been careful to
maintain a high level of customer service during the downturn because we believe this posture
fosters consumer loyalty and positions us well as the economy recovers, said Eric Hinkefent,
President of AMCONs retail health food segment.
Our financial focus continues to be centered on balance sheet liquidity. We ended the quarter with
total stockholders equity of $35.5 million and consolidated debt of $23.0 million. We are
carefully evaluating a number of capital projects related to information technology and foodservice
that are designed to enhance our competitive position in the markets we serve, said Andrew
Plummer, AMCONs Chief Financial Officer.
