NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of those who acquired DMC Global Inc. (“DMC Global” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:BOOM) securities during the period of May 5, 2024, to November 4, 2024, inclusive (“the Class Period”). Investors have until February 4, 2025, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION]
On October 21, 2024, after market close, DMC Global issued a press release entitled, “DMC Global Provides Business and Strategic Review Update, Announced Governance Changes,” which revealed that “third quarter sales are expected to be approximately $152 million versus prior guidance of $158 million to $168 million.” The results reflect weaker-than-expected sales at both Arcadia Products (“Arcadia”), DMC Global’s architectural building products business, and DynaEnergetics, DMC Global’s energy products business. The press release further announced that its third quarter financial results will include an approximately $142 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge associated with DMC Global’s December 2021 acquisition of a controlling interest in Arcadia coupled with Arcadia’s recent financial performance and near-term outlook. On this news, DMC Global shares declined by $2.36 per share, or approximately 18%, from $12.93 per share on October 21, 2024, to close at $10.57 on October 22, 2024.
Then, on November 4, 2024, after market close, DMC Global issued another press release entitled, “DMC Global Reports Third Quarter Financial Results,” in which it reported Q3 2024 sales of $152.4 million, a $159.4 million net loss, and adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million. On this news, the price of DMC Global shares declined by $0.59 per share, from $9.84 per share on November 4, 2024, to close at $9.25 per share the next day.
The Complaint alleges that defendants, throughout the Class Period, made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the goodwill associated with the Company’s principal business segment, Arcadia, was overstated due to the adverse events and circumstances affecting that reporting segment; (2) DMC Global’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; and (4) as a result, defendants misrepresented DMC Global’s operations and financial results.
