Adams Resources Announces Second Quarter Earnings And Dividend

HOUSTON, Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT-AE) announced second quarter 2013 unaudited net earnings of $6,330,000 or $1.50 per common share.  Revenues for the quarter totaled $965,874,000. Current net earnings compare to unaudited second quarter 2012 net earnings of $5,386,000 or $1.28 per common share.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net earnings were $14,345,000 or $3.40 per common share.

F.T. "Chip" Webster, President and Chief Executive Officer, attributed the 2013 earnings improvement to certain currently reduced non-cash operating losses relative to the prior comparative quarter.  During the second quarter of 2012 the Company incurred $5.6 million of net inventory and mark-to-market pre-tax valuation losses as the result of declining crude oil prices.  In contrast, similar losses totaled $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2013.  Mr. Webster added, "the Company continues to see volume growth within its crude oil marketing segment but unit margins have narrowed with stiffened competition."
