American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE: AVD) today made the following clarifying comments regarding the misreporting of its financial results by third parties yesterday. At about the time the Company issued its earnings release for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (prior to trading on August 9, 2022), Bloomberg inexplicably reduced consensus EBITDA estimates for full-year 2022 from $75 million to $50.8 million. It appears that Bloomberg may have subtracted Q1 2022 EBITDA from the 2022 full-year calculation. In fact, as mentioned on the earnings call (and discussed below), the Company raised its adjusted EBITDA target for 2022 to between $79 million and $81 million.
