For the three months ended March 31, 2016, AgJunction reported revenue of $15.5 million, a 28% increase from $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. Total revenue in the Americas for the first quarter was $7.5 million, up 49% year-over-year due largely to additional sales resulting from the acquisition of Novariant.
