A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc.CEO’s  Comments

“Our results for Q4 were consistent with our expectations, given the continued subdued market activity that persisted during the quarter,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “Most notably, we achieved our 14th consecutive quarter of profitability since becoming public, which is a testament to our continued execution of and ability to capitalize on our business plan. With historically low sales levels at the U.S. mint reinforced by the sustained strength of the U.S. equities market as a whole, we continued to face headwinds which impacted demand for precious metals. Nevertheless, we were able to take advantage of trading opportunities in the period and experienced continued growth in our finance product offerings, further establishing our finance book as a meaningful source of income and predictability to our business model. In fact, net interest income in Q4 increased 42% year-over-year and 43% for the full fiscal year.” Globe Newswire
