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.”

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.

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.”
