ADAMS RESOURCES ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

Houston (August 13, 2012)--Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT-AE) announced second quarter 2012 unaudited net earnings of $ 5,386,000 or $1.28 per common share.  Revenues for the quarter totaled $831,474,000. Current earnings compare to unaudited second quarter 2011 net earnings of $3,589,000 or $.85 per common share.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net earnings were $11,961,000 or $2.84 per common share.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, K.S. "Bud" Adams, Jr., attributed the 2012 earnings improvement to increased volumes and unit margins within the Company’s crude oil marketing business.   Such improvements stemmed from the Company’s involvement as a first purchaser and marketer of crude oil production from the Eagle-Ford trend of South Texas.
