“During the second quarter of 2018, Service Transport continued to generate improved financial and operating results as our revenue per mile increased 8 percent from the first quarter of 2018 and 20 percent from the second quarter of 2017,” said Townes G. Pressler, Executive Chairman. “As customer demand continues to increase in this segment, we have been able to improve trucking rates as we continue to provide dependable superior service to our customers at Service Transport. We are improving the age of our fleet with the purchase of ten new tractors during the second quarter of 2018, with 41 more scheduled for purchase and delivery by the end of 2018.

“At GulfMark, crude oil marketing volumes for the second quarter of 2018 increased 8 percent from the first quarter of 2018 and 5 percent from the second quarter of 2017, primarily as a result of increased production in our market areas. Our overall marketing margins have expanded as a result of our exit in areas with thin margins.”

“During the remainder of 2018, we plan to remain focused on increasing margins in our crude oil marketing division, disciplined replacement of aging tractors and right sizing our tractor and trailer fleets, improving company-wide driver retention and increasing driver count, and exploring growth opportunities in our core businesses, both organically and in the open market,” continued Pressler.

Capital Investments and Dividends
 
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded approximately $1.9 million of capital costs and paid dividends of $0.9 million ($0.22 per 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 2018 in the amount of $0.22 per common share, payable on September 21, 2018 to shareholders of record as of September 7, 2018. 

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 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 and ISO tank container storage and transportation through its two subsidiaries, GulfMark Energy, Inc. and Service Transport Company, respectively.
