Lead Plaintiff Motion Deadline | February 04, 2025 |
On October 21, 2024, DMC disclosed that it was “revising its guidance” for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, stating that the Company’s adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be approximately $5 million, down from prior guidance for $15-18 million, and that the third quarter financial results “will include inventory and bad debt charges at DynaEnergetics totaling approximately $5 million, as well as lower fixed overhead absorption on reduced sales at both Arcadia and DynaEnergetics.” Further, the Company revealed that the financial results will include an approximate $142 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge “associated with DMC’s December 2021 acquisition of a controlling interest in Arcadia.”
On this news, DMC’s stock price fell $2.36, or 18.3%, to close at $10.57 per share on October 22, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on November 4, 2024, DMC released its third quarter 2024 financial results, reporting sales of $152.4 million, a $159.4 million net loss (inclusive of a $141.7 million goodwill impairment charge at Arcadia Products), and adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million.
On this news, DMC’s stock price fell $0.59, or 6%, to close at $9.25 per share on November 5, 2024, thereby injuring investors further.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the goodwill associated with Arcadia Products was overstated due to the adverse events and circumstances affecting that reporting segment; (2) DMC’s materially inadequate internal systems and processes were adversely affecting its operations; (3) the Company’s inadequate systems and processes prevented it from ensuring reasonably accurate guidance and that its public disclosures were timely, accurate, and complete; (4) as a result, Defendants misrepresented DMC’s operations and financial results; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
