AETI Announces Quarterly Financial Growth, Improved Annual Results

HOUSTON, March 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Electric Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:AETI), a leading supplier of power delivery solutions for the global energy industry, today announced its 2012 fourth quarter and annual results.

Annual Results Improve

For the year ended December 31, 2012, AETI reported net income before taxes and preferred dividends of $3.0 million compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $2.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a loss of $5.9 million, or $(0.75) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011. The prior year loss included a $5.4 million tax provision primarily related to a change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets resulting from past net operating losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported domestic revenue of $54.1 million, a 4% increase when compared to the year ended December 31 2011, while income from domestic operations improved to $0.4 million, a $2.1 million increase when compared to the prior year.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, AETI’s foreign joint ventures had combined revenues of $99.3 million, a 56% increase when compared to the revenues of $63.7 million for year ended December 31, 2011. Equity income from AETI’s share of those foreign joint ventures, after associated management expenses, was $2.7 million which represents an 85% increase when compared to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.


“I am very pleased with the achievement of important milestones we made during 2012. While top-line growth was 4%, we successfully transitioned from lower margin water and wastewater construction-related business to strategic oil and gas related products sales,” said Charles Dauber, AETI’s President and CEO. “We made good progress toward strategic objectives, as revenues for our core technical products business grew by 35%. Our international joint ventures also had a great year in 2012 and contributed to our significantly improved overall performance.”

Fourth Quarter Domestic Revenues, Income Increase

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, AETI reported domestic revenue of $15.0 million, an increase of 28% versus the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Operating income from domestic operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased 164%, to $0.3 million, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 193% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

AETI’s equity in the income of its foreign joint ventures, net of management expenses, was $0.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $0.3 million when compared to $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and a decrease of $0.1 million when compared $0.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $0.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, which was a $5.7 million improvement when compared to the $5.2 million net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and essentially unchanged when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, AETI incurred a $5.8 million tax charge primarily related to its deferred tax assets.

“In 2012, we grew our midstream and downstream oil and gas business, successfully installed our first ISIS solar inversion station, acquired and integrated Assort Services Ltd in Brazil and automation and control technology from AmnorTech, and also improved our financial flexibility through improved operating performance and a $5 million preferred stock issuance,” Dauber said.


As of December 31, 2012, the Company reported $4.5 million of cash, $0.5 million of long-term debt and a backlog of $15.5 million.

Dauber continued, “Looking ahead, we have a strong balance sheet, we recently hired Andy Puhala as our new CFO, and we are well positioned to profitably grow the business in 2013.”
