FOR RELEASE – November 12, 2012 – 7:00 am (EST)

AETI Announces Continued Earnings Growth for Third Quarter

HOUSTON, November 12, 2012 - American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AETI), today announced results for the third quarter of 2012, with net income, backlog, earnings per share and EBITDA all up on slightly lower revenue for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011.

The Company reported income before taxes up 20% to $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2012 compared to third quarter 2011. These improved results were driven by continued strength in the company’s core global oil & gas business.

The Technical Products and Services group reported a quarter ending backlog of $20 million, primarily from core oil and gas product bookings, which is the largest for that segment in more than two years.

Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected non-cash items, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, up 20% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2011.

Domestic operating income showed improvement during the third quarter of 2012 with $0.1 million, compared to the third quarter of 2011 of $0.05 million on 14% lower revenue. Domestic operating income was up $1.9 for the nine months of 2012 versus the same period 2011 primarily from $1.8 higher revenues with improved margins and lower corporate costs.

“Our continued improvement in our domestic results came from our core North American oil and gas markets,” commented Charles Dauber, AETI president and chief executive officer. “In the quarter, we saw strong increases in our midstream and downstream oil and gas business, and expect this to continue into 2013.”

During the quarter, the Company also reported continued strength in its net equity income in foreign joint venture operations with $0.7 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These results continue to be primarily driven by strong demand in China from the Company’s BOMAY joint venture operations for land drilling rig power systems and increased business in the Company’s joint venture in Brazil.

The company reported a $3.3 million improvement in income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

The Company announced its Brazil joint venture has acquired the assets of Assort Services LTDA (“Assort”) of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, becoming the largest off-shore oil & gas electrical service provider in Brazil.

The Company also announced it had been selected by Westlake Chemical’s Engineering & Procurement supplier Chengda Engineering to supply turnkey power delivery products and services for Westlake’s Chlor-Alkali expansion project in Geismar, La.
