Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. Announces Results For Second Quarter 2019 And Declares Quarterly Dividend
HOUSTON, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: AE) ("Adams" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The Company reported net earnings of $6 thousand on revenues of $484.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to net earnings of $3.6 million, or $0.86 per common share, on revenues of $452.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, net earnings were $0.6 million, or $0.13 per common share, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to net earnings of $1.8 million, or $0.42 per common share, for the second quarter of 2018.
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.
Second Quarter 2019 Highlights:
- Gross revenues were approximately $484.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $452.4 million for the second quarter of 2018
- Adjusted cash flow was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2018
- Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately 9 percent from December 31, 2018 of $117.1 million to approximately $127.7 million at June 30, 2019
- No short or long term debt as of June 30, 2019
- Our crude oil marketing subsidiary, GulfMark Energy, Inc., marketed approximately 101,884 barrels per day ("bpd") of crude oil during the second quarter of 2019, compared to 70,389 bpd of crude oil during the second quarter of 2018
- Approximately 326,716 barrels of crude oil inventory at June 30, 2019 compared to 415,523 barrels at December 31, 2018
"Company gross revenues and adjusted cash flow were both up, compared to the second quarter of 2018, but net earnings were down, reflecting a continuing drag from our Red River acquisition as we confront declining gathered crude oil volumes from our captive customer in the Red River area. Crude oil gathered volumes in our legacy areas are relatively stable and resilient to resource play production swings, which are cushioned by our broad customer base," said Townes G. Pressler, Executive Chairman.
"Our balance sheet remains solid with $127.7 million in cash at June 30, 2019, and no debt after our two recent acquisitions of Red River Vehicle Holdings in October 2018 and the assets of EH Transport in May 2019, as we continue to pursue our acquisition and organic growth plans."
"Our safety record continues to be in the top industry leader percentile as we continue to put safety first in all of our operations."
"During the second quarter of 2019, our Service Transport business unit continued to generate improved financial and operating results as our revenue per mile increased 6 percent from the second quarter of 2018, and increased 2 percent from the first quarter of 2019. We are capitalizing on our acquisition of the assets of EH Transport, by taking advantage of expanded product markets and with new customers," said Pressler.
"Although we see some softening, customer demand for chemical transport continues strong, allowing us to maintain trucking rates in this segment. Our enhanced recruitment efforts continue to pay off in the hiring and retention of skilled drivers, and our turnover rate has been significantly reduced as we continue to provide dependable, on time, and superior service to our customers at Service Transport. We are on schedule with "stair-casing" the age of our fleet, with the purchase of 51 new tractors and 12 new trailers during the first half of 2019 and commitments to purchase an additional 95 tractors and 54 trailers during 2019," continued Pressler.
"At GulfMark, our legacy and Red River combined crude oil volumes for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 10 percent from the first quarter of 2019, mainly attributable to decreased production in our Red River market areas. In addition, we have experienced some natural well performance decline in the Gulf Coast."
"During the remainder of 2019, we will continue our focus on safety first, and remaining in the top tier for all safety statistics. We will be introducing efficiencies in our crude oil marketing transportation division, right sizing the Red River operation, replacing aging tractors and focusing on strategic fleet planning in both business units, and continue company-wide driver recruitment and retention practices to increase our driver count. We will continue to explore synergic growth opportunities in our core businesses, both organically and in the open market," said Pressler.
Capital Investments and Dividends
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company spent approximately $4.8 million of capital and paid dividends of $1.0 million ($0.24 per common share). The majority of the capital costs relate to the purchase of tractors in our Service Transport subsidiary.
The Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of 2019 in the amount of $0.24 per common share, payable on September 20, 2019 to shareholders of record as of September 6, 2019.
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 believes these measures are useful indicators of the financial performance of our business and 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 primarily engaged in the business of crude oil marketing, transportation and storage, tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals and dry bulk through its two subsidiaries, GulfMark Energy, Inc. and Service Transport Company, respectively.
