Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On November 10, 2025, American Vanguard Corporation (“Registrant” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. The full text of the press release is linked hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Also on November 10, 2025, the Company held its previously announced earnings call regarding its unaudited financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025. A transcript of the earnings call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. In the Company’s press release dated March 14, 2025, the Company disclosed preliminary Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the full year ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $42 million. In connection with finalizing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company concluded that its Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $39.1 million.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income or net income attributable to the Company, adjusted for non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes and interest expense. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items management believes are not reflective of the underlying operations of our business, including but not limited to the exclusion of charges that are considered by management to be unusual and not representative of the company’s underlying performance and future prospects. In 2024 that included non-recurring expenses and the profit on sale of an asset that was not held for sale. The resulting Adjusted EBITDA measure is exactly aligned with the Company’s metric for its current credit facility agreement.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating results and effectiveness and efficiency of its business. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it believes that investors consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important supplemental measure of performance, and that this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry. As the Company continues to work through its transformation efforts, management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides an effective comparison between the Company and its industry peers. Non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies and may not be calculated in the same manner. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 7, 2023, AMVAC Chemical Corporation (“AMVAC”), principal operating subsidiary of American Vanguard Corporation (“Registrant”), as borrower, and affiliates (including Registrant), as guarantors and/or borrowers, entered into Amendment Number Six to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) with a group of commercial lenders led by BMO Bank NA (successor to the Bank of the West), as Lead Arranger and Book Runner. Under the terms of the Amendment, the two financial covenants (the Maximum Total Leverage Ratio or “MTLR” and Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio or “FCCR”) were modified. Specifically, with respect to the MTLR, the existing ratio (which had been 3.5-to-1 through September 30, 2024, and 3.25-to-1 through December 31, 2024, and thereafter), was changed to 5.5-to-1 through September 30, 2023, 4.5-to-1 for the periods ending December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, 4.0-to-1 for the period ending June 30, 2024, 3.5-to-1 through September 30, 2024 and returning to 3.25-to-1 from December 31, 2024, and thereafter. In addition, the FCCR (which had been 1.25) was changed to 1.0 for the periods ending September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, and returning to 1.25 for the period ending June 30, 2024, and thereafter. Further, after the delivery of financial statements and a covenant compliance certificate for the period ending December 31, 2023 (or thereafter), assuming MTLR is less than 2.75, then Borrowers may terminate the covenant modification period (“CMP”) and revert to the terms of the existing Credit Agreement. Further, for the duration of the CMP, the Company is restricted from making share repurchases. Finally, the Applicable Margin (SOFR and Adjusted Base Rate) and Letter of Credit fees increase by 0.50 basis points for each tier of interest during the CMP. The Amendment is linked hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 5, 2021, AMVAC Chemical Corporation (“AMVAC”), our principal operating subsidiary, as borrower, and affiliates (including registrant), as guarantors and/or borrowers, entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of commercial lenders led by Bank of the West (AMVAC’s primary bank) as Lead Arranger and Book Runner. The Credit Agreement is a senior secured lending facility consisting of a line of credit of up to $275 million, an accordion feature of up to $150 million, a letter of credit and swingline sub-facility (each having limits of $25 million) and a maturity date of August 5, 2026. The Credit Agreement contains two key financial covenants; namely, borrowers are required to maintain a maximum Total Leverage (“TL”) Ratio (of Holdco Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein)) of no more than 3.5-to-1, during the first three years, stepping down to 3.25-to-1 as of September 30, 2024, and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25-to-1. In addition, to the extent that it completes acquisitions totaling $15 million or more in any 90-day period, AMVAC may step-up the TL Ratio by 0.5-to-1, not to exceed 4.00-to-1, for the next three full consecutive quarters. Acquisitions below $50 million do not require Agent consent. Further, under the Credit Agreement, revolving loans bear interest at a variable rate based, at borrower’s election with proper notice, on either (i) LIBOR plus the “Applicable Margin” which is based upon the TL Ratio (“LIBOR Revolver Loan”) or (ii) the greater of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (z) the Daily One-Month LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%, plus, in the case of (x), (y) or (z) the Applicable Margin (“Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loan”). Interest payments for LIBOR Revolver Loans are payable on the last day of each interest period (either one, two, three or six months, as selected by the borrower) and the maturity date, while interest payments for Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans are payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter and the maturity date. The Credit Agreement and Exhibits thereto are linked hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Exhibits linked hereto, is being furnished under Items 1.01, 1.02, 2.02, 7.01 and 9.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
