AgJunction Provides Financial Guidance for Q2 2014

HIAWATHA, KS, June 2, 2014 /CNW/ - (TSX: AJX) -- AgJunction provides the following guidance for continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014.

AgJunction expects that revenue and net income for the second quarter of 2014 to be below comparable periods in 2013.  AgJunction also expects revenue and net income for the full year ended 2014 to be below the full year ended 2013. AgJunction does expect to be profitable for 2014. This guidance reflects current business indicators and expectations and the general weakness currently being experienced in the agriculture industry. Inherent in this guidance are risk factors affecting volatility in the Company's business which are described in greater detail in our regulatory filings.  This guidance is based on management's current beliefs and assumptions.

"General weakness within the agriculture markets in the first quarter of 2014 has continued into the second quarter of 2014, resulting in lower year-over-year sales volumes," said Rick Heiniger, President and CEO of AgJunction.

Financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 will be released during the first half of August 2014.  A conference call and webcast to discuss the results will be scheduled to follow the release.
