HOUSTON, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: AE) ("Adams" or the "Company") today announces operational and financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and declares a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per common share. 

Q2 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Net earnings of $2.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, on revenues of $992.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to net earnings of $4.7 million, or $1.10 per diluted common share, on revenues of $486.7 million for the second quarter of 2021.
  • Net cash used in operating activities was $30.1 million, versus net cash generated by operating activities of $29.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in the market price of crude oil and an increase in crude oil inventory and changes in working capital.
  • Adjusted net earnings of $3.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, compared to adjusted net earnings of $1.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted cash flow of $9.0 million versus $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted net earnings (losses), adjusted earnings (losses) per diluted 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 later in this release. 

Additional Q2 2022 Highlights

  • Cash and cash equivalents position was $67.7 million at June 30, 2022, versus $97.8 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in crude oil inventory barrels, due in part to timing of customer deliveries, together with an increase in crude oil prices.
  • Enhanced financial liquidity of $102.0 million at June 30, 2022, including cash and cash equivalents and $34.3 million available under the Company's $40.0 million Credit Agreement.
  • Adam's crude oil marketing subsidiary, GulfMark Energy, Inc. ("GulfMark"), marketed 94,876 barrels per day ("bpd") of crude oil, compared to 89,585 bpd during the second quarter of 2021 and 90,385 bpd during the first quarter of 2022. GulfMark held 573,036 barrels of crude oil inventory at June 30, 2022, compared to 259,489 barrels at December 31, 2021.
  • The collective fleet of Service Transport Company ("Service Transport"), Adams' liquid chemicals, pressurized gases, asphalt and dry bulk transportation subsidiary, traveled 6.86 million miles versus 7.25 million miles during the second quarter of 2021 and 6.80 million miles during the first quarter of 2022.
  • Adams' crude oil pipeline and storage segment, which was established following the purchase of the Victoria Express Pipeline System ("VEX Pipeline System") in October 2020, further expanded its scope of operations. Pipeline throughput increased to 13,281 bpd from 7,876 bpd for the second quarter of 2021 and 10,486 bpd for the first quarter of 2022, and terminalling volumes grew to 13,704 bpd from 8,106 bpd in the second quarter of 2021 and 10,948 bpd for the first quarter of 2022.

Kevin J. Roycraft, Adams' Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are delighted to report continued momentum through the second quarter, resulting in a strong first half of 2022 both operationally and financially.  All three of our segments made important progress on their strategic initiatives designed to sustain profitability and grow their respective businesses for the long-term benefit of our shareholders.  I want to thank all of our team members for their steadfast dedication to providing our customers with a safe, efficient and best-in-class service offering." 

Capital Investments and Dividends

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company spent capital of $1.1 million for tractors, trailers and other field equipment.  In addition, Adams paid dividends of $1.1 million, or $0.24 per common share.

Outlook

Mr. Roycraft concluded, "We look forward to further executing our strategic plan to drive increased efficiencies across the entire organization.  We continue to have a strong financial position, which includes a liquidity position of more than $102 million at the end of this year's second quarter.  As in the past, we will continue to leverage our significant operational expertise and financial flexibility to execute on opportunities designed to prudently grow our business.  We remain laser focused on providing significant long-term value for our shareholders, demonstrated by the regular return on capital through our consistent payment of quarterly cash dividends."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying schedules includes the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted cash flow, adjusted net earnings (losses) and adjusted earnings (losses) 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, earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Adams' 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 Adams does.  The non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled in the financial tables below.
