EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. ( AMRK), a leading fully integrated precious metals platform, reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2023.

Management Commentary

“Fiscal year 2023 marked another year of strong financial and operational performance, underscoring the strength of our industry-leading fully integrated precious metals platform,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “Our full year gross profit and net income before taxes grew 13% and 22% year-over-year, respectively, and we also generated a 29% return on equity for the year. Diluted earnings per share increased 16% compared with last fiscal year, and we also delivered record levels of EBITDA of $225 million. New customers in our Direct-to-Consumer segment increased 46%, highlighting the success of our strategic acquisitions.

“Our fourth quarter results contributed to a strong finish to the fiscal year with net income of $41.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.71. Our integrated capabilities and access to inventory provided us with a consistent source of supply to meet the elevated demand from the heightened market volatility experienced during the quarter.

“Reflecting on the full year, I am very proud of our many accomplishments and the execution of our growth strategy. During the year we added minority interests in UK-based Atkinsons Bullion & Coins and Texas Precious Metals to our investments portfolio and also closed the BGASC and BullionMax asset acquisitions, further expanding our Direct-to-Consumer customer base. We also bolstered our minting operations by investing in the expansion of our Silver Towne Mint facility, which now consistently produces over one million ounces of silver per week and achieved ISO 9000:2015 Certification during the year, reaffirming the company’s reputation as a leading manufacturer of quality bullion products. Additionally, we repurchased $9.8 million of our common stock creating additional value for our stockholders.

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2024, we continue to evaluate opportunities to further expand our geographic presence and market reach to create stockholder value. We also continue to invest in our minting and logistics operations to further increase capacity and enhance our fully integrated platform. We remain optimistic that our diversified and proven business model will allow us to sustain profitability and realize growth over the long term.”
