Forward Guidance
American Vanguard anticipates low double-digit revenue growth in 2021, driven by global economic reopening, higher commodity prices, larger corn acreage in the U.S., steady supply availability, increased soybean segment participation, and international business expansion. Gross profit margins are expected to remain strong with tight operating expense management as operations normalize.
Positive Outlook
- Global economies are poised to start re-opening.
- Higher commodity prices will encourage crop protection procurement.
- Expectation of larger corn acreage in the U.S.
- Continued steady supply availability of key raw and intermediate materials.
- Greater AMVAC product participation in the soybean segment.
