HOUSTON, May 9, 2018
/PRNewswire/ -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:

The Company reported net earnings of $1.1
million, or $0.27 per common

for the first quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of
$0.9 million, or ($0.20) per common share, on revenues of

2018, compared to a net loss of $0.7
million, or ($0.17) per common
share, for the first quarter of 2017.
Adjusted net (losses) earnings, adjusted (losses) earnings per
common share and adjusted cash flow are non-generally accepted
accounting principle ("non-GAAP") financial measures that are
defined and reconciled in the financial tables below.
First Quarter 2018 Highlights:
- Gross revenues of approximately $387.3
million for the first quarter of 2018 compared to
$303.1 million for the first quarter
of 2017
- Our crude oil marketing subsidiary, GulfMark Energy, Inc.,
marketed approximately 65,194 per day ("bpd") of crude oil during
the first quarter of 2018, compared to 66,374 bpd of crude oil
during the first quarter of 2017
- Cash and cash equivalents increased 2 percent from
December 31, 2017 levels of $109.4
million to over $111.5 million
at March 31, 2018
- $59.6 million of undrawn capacity
under our letter of credit facility at March 31, 2018
- Generated adjusted cash flow of $3.3
million for the first quarter of 2018 compared to
$2.8 million for the first quarter of
2017
- Approximately 296,808 barrels of crude oil inventory at
March 31, 2018 compared to 198,011 barrels at December 31, 2017
- Dividend of $0.22 per share for
the first quarter of 2018
- No short or long term debt as of March 31, 2018
"During the first quarter of 2018, Service Transport generated
improved financial and operating results as our revenue per mile
increased 6 percent from the fourth quarter of 2017 and 12 percent
from the first quarter of 2017," said Townes G. Pressler, Executive Chairman.
"As demand continues to increase in this segment, we are making
strides in improving trucking rates as we continue to provide
superior service to our customers at Service Transport."
"At GulfMark, volumes have decreased slightly in the first
quarter of 2018, compared to the first quarter of 2017, but the
decline was mainly in areas that we elected to exit due to very
thin margins, and consequently, our overall marketing margins have
increased as a result."
"During 2018, we plan to remain focused on increasing margins in
our crude oil marketing division, disciplined replacement of aging
tractors and right sizing our tractor and trailer fleets, improving
company-wide driver retention and increasing driver count, and
exploring growth opportunities in our core businesses, both
organically and in the open market," continued Pressler.
Capital Investments and Dividends
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded
approximately $0.9 million of capital
costs and paid dividends of $0.9
million ($0.22 per
share). The majority of the capital costs relate to
construction of a pipeline connection at our GulfMark Energy
subsidiary.
The Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash
dividend for the first quarter of 2018 in the amount of
$0.22 per common share, payable on
June 15, 2018 to shareholders of
record as of June 1, 2018.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release
and accompanying schedules includes the non-GAAP financial measures
of adjusted cash flow, adjusted net (losses) earnings and adjusted
(losses) earnings per common share. The accompanying
schedules provide definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures
and reconciliations to their most directly comparable financial
measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring
the Company's ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter
and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against
peer companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income,
operating income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or
any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented
in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may
not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies
because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as
we do.
Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. is engaged in the
business of crude oil marketing, transportation and storage, tank
truck transportation of liquid chemicals and dry bulk and ISO tank
container storage and transportation. For more information,
