HOUSTON, Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT: AE) ("Adams" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 (PRNewsfoto/Adams Resources & Energy, Inc.)

The Company reported a net loss of $3.0 million, or ($0.72) per common share, on revenues of $295.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or ($0.51) per common share, on revenues of $256.9 million for the third quarter of 2016.  On an adjusted basis, net losses were $0.2 million, or ($0.04) per common share, for the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.31) per common share, for the third quarter of 2016.

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.

Third Quarter 2017 Highlights:

  • Gross revenues of approximately $295.3 million for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $256.9 million for the third quarter of 2016
  • Our crude oil marketing subsidiary, GulfMark Energy, Inc., marketed approximately 64,104 barrels per day ("bpd") of crude oil during the third quarter of 2017, compared to 61,200 bpd of crude oil during the third quarter of 2016
  • Approximately 435,000 barrels of crude oil inventory as of September 30, 2017
  • $159.4 million of liquidity ($99.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $60 million of undrawn letter of credit facility) as of September 30, 2017
  • Generated adjusted cash flow of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2016
  • Dividend of $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2017
  • No short or long term debt as of September 30, 2017

"We achieved a lot during the third quarter of 2017, but our financial results were negatively impacted by disruptions caused by Hurricane Harvey and also by various one-time charges.  GulfMark has seen a recovery of volumes after Harvey-related downtime and from several newly completed wells coming online recently in the Gulf Coast region.  We are encouraged by the demand at Service Transport Company, and we are looking forward to onboarding this month with our new President of Service Transport Company to capitalize on the opportunity seen in that sector over the coming months," said Townes Pressler, Executive Chairman.

Capital Investments and Dividends

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded approximately $2.1 million of capital and paid dividends of $0.9 million ($0.22 per share).  The majority of the recorded capital relates to a 5-year capital lease of $1.8 million for new tractors at our GulfMark Energy subsidiary.

The Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2017 in the amount of $0.22 per common share, payable on December 19, 2017 to shareholders of record as of December 5, 2017.

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, visit www.adamsresources.com.
