quarter net sales will be approximately $123&nbsp;million, which amounts to an 10% increase over the comparable period in 2018, but is short of the consensus estimate of $140&nbsp;million. Within the overall top line, net sales of the company&#146;s
international businesses rose approximately 24% compared to the third quarter of 2018, while domestic sales were flat. This change in top line performance, coupled with lower factory absorption, higher operating expenses arising largely from
acquisitions, and other factors, will adversely affect net income for the period. Thus, management expects that quarterly earnings per share are likely to be less than half of the consensus estimate and will provide conclusive data on that subject
in its next earnings release. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:0px; "><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Eric Wintemute, Chairman and CEO of American Vanguard commented, &#147;We are, of course,

which is used largely on peanuts and potatoes. In addition, sales of our post-harvest soil fumigants did not materialize to the extent we had forecasted in the quarter, due largely to weather-related delays in planting and harvest.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute continued, &#147;Focusing on full year 2019 results, we expect consolidated sales to increase by about 6% year-over-year with mixed performance
among our major markets. International sales should increase by about 27% for the full year. However, our domestic sales will likely decrease by about 5% on a per annum basis, which we believe is consistent with industry-wide forecasts showing
domestic markets receding by 6% to 12%. With these considerations in mind, we are revising our full year 2019 net sales forecast downward to approximately $480&nbsp;million. Other previously forecasted financial metrics relating to 2019 remain
unchanged since our last earnings call.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute added, &#147;As for our 2020 outlook, we see many countervailing factors that could
affect our markets. For example, with respect to our domestic markets, a shortened growing season and the likelihood of impending frost could lead to lower yield and increased demand for crops such as corn in 2020. However, new developments in
tariffs and buying patterns by China are pushing commodity prices in different directions seemingly every week. Despite shifting conditions, with channel inventory of our products at low levels, we are poised to maintain domestic market share and to
take advantage of upsides as they materialize. Further, with respect to our international business, our footprint covers a multitude of markets, from which we expect continued stability and growth.&#148; </FONT></P>
