BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased DMC Global Inc. (“DMC” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BOOM) securities between May 3, 2024 and November 4, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). DMC investors have until February 4, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their DMC investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
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.
