ADAMS RESOURCES ANNOUNCES DIVIDEND AND THIRD QUARTER 2015 EARNINGS
Houston (November 5, 2015)--Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT: AE) announced a third quarter 2015 unaudited net loss of $308,000 or $0.07 per common share. The current loss compares to third quarter 2014 unaudited net earnings of $3,855,000 or $.92 per common share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net earnings were $7,129,000 or $1.69 per common share.
Thomas S. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, attributed the current loss to reduced prices for crude oil and natural gas produced and sold. The Company also experienced narrowed margins and reduced volumes within its marketing and transportation segments. Falling crude oil prices also caused a $2.5 million non-cash write down in the carrying value of crude oil inventories. In addition, the comparative third quarter of 2014 benefited from a $2,198,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of certain producing oil and gas properties. Mr. Smith added that net cash flow from operations remained sound at $23.5 million for the first nine months of 2015. The Company has curtailed oil and gas exploration efforts and available cash balances increased from $80,184,000 at December 31, 2014 to $95,235,000 at September 30, 2015.
