Amira Nature Foods Ltd (the "Company") (NYSE:ANFI), a global provider of packaged specialty rice, today reported financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2018. During the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had total revenue of $123.7 million, which was significantly lower on a historical basis as a result of the Company’s capital constraints and the financial climate in India during that period. Historically, revenue from international sales has contributed approximately 60% of total sales, and revenue from Indian sales has contributed approximately 40% of total sales. Due to seasonality, revenue in the first half of the fiscal year is typically approximately 40% of revenue for the full fiscal year.

During the six months ended March 31, 2019 the Company announced a reduction in ownership in its Indian subsidiary, Amira Foods India to a minority interest, as well as a focus on the Company’s international business. The Company also recently announced a EUR25 million debt financing at a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and maturing December 17, 2023. Due to the aforementioned significant developments, the Company is not providing guidance for the remaining half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

The Company today also reiterated its $200 million revenue guidance for the 2020 fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. Going forward, the Company’s focus will be on strengthening its international business and as such the 2020 fiscal year $200 million revenue guidance consists solely of international revenue (ex-India). The Company also recently announced revenue of $42 million from a repeat customer in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, which the Company expects to recognize in the 2020 fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.
