</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Newport Beach, CA &#150; April&nbsp;10, 2014 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD) today announced that elevated channel inventories,
arising primarily from weather conditions in the Midwestern United States, will affect its first quarter 2014 financial performance. Net sales for the first quarter of 2014 will be approximately 33% below those of the comparable period in 2013, and
we anticipate reporting net earnings that range from break-even to a few cents per share for the quarter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As was reported by the Company last December
and reiterated again on February&nbsp;27, 2014, persistent wet weather during the 2013 planting season resulted in reduced application of many crop protection inputs that are used at the time of planting &#150; such as AMVAC&#146;s granular soil
insecticides. This surplus inventory in the distribution channel is gradually being drawn down as purchases are made for the present 2014 spring planting season. While the fundamental demand for our soil insecticide products remains solid, new
orders have been slowed by this inventory overhang and planting delays caused by this year&#146;s severe winter weather. We expect some purchases that would have ordinarily been made in the first quarter will be made during April&nbsp;&amp; May, and
as such will be reflected in our second quarter results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Eric Wintemute, Chairman and CEO of American Vanguard, stated, &#147;Our corn products have been
key drivers for our growth over the past three years. Consequently, a shift in corn input purchasing patterns tends to have a disproportionate effect upon our overall financial performance. Many of our Ag Chem industry peers are experiencing reduced
sales of their corn products due to this sluggish procurement pattern. However, based upon discussions with our customers, we consider this to be a temporary market condition and expect continued growth for our corn products once conditions
normalize. We remain in close contact with our channel partners and stand ready to address the needs of the market throughout the new planting season.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">American Vanguard will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss current business conditions at 12:00 noon ET / 9:00 am PT,
April&nbsp;11, 2014. Interested parties may participate in the call by dialing 201-493-6744 -please dial in 10 minutes before the call is scheduled to begin, and ask for the American Vanguard call. The conference call will also be webcast live via
