AETI Announces Strong Second Quarter Revenues and Earnings Growth

Quarterly Revenue up 13%, EBITDA up $2.3 million, EPS up $0.18

HOUSTON, August 8, 2012—American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AETI), today announced increased second quarter 2012 net income, earnings per share and EBITDA on increased second quarter revenue.

Domestic revenue for the three months ended June 30th was $12.9 million, a 13% revenue improvement over the same period 2011. The Company also generated significantly higher gross profit in the second quarter of $2.2 million, up 44%, compared to the second quarter 2011 gross profit of $1.5 million, and up 23% from the first quarter 2012.

Domestic operating income for the quarter grew by $1.5 million to $0.2 million, up from a $1.3 million loss in the same period last year, and an increase of $0.4 million from the previous quarter.

“Our improved domestic results derived from continued strength in our technical products related to the North American oil & gas business”, commented Charles Dauber, president and chief executive officer. “The company is successfully executing our focus on higher-value added products for the Exploration and Production, midstream and downstream oil & gas markets, and are also realizing results from our investments in our utility-scale solar inverter product.”

In the quarter, the company also reported strong growth in its net equity income in foreign joint ventures’ operations of $0.9 million, a $0.8 million increase from the second quarter 2011 and a $0.3 million increase over first quarter of this year. This growth continues to be primarily driven by strong demand in China from the Company’s BOMAY joint venture operations for land drilling rig power systems.

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.5 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of a loss of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2011.

The improved domestic and international operations resulted in the company reporting earnings before taxes of $1.1 million, up $2.2 million from the same period in 2011 and up $0.6 million from the first quarter of this year.

With the May 2012 issuance of the $5 million convertible preferred shares transaction, there was a charge to common stockholders of $0.06 million representing the dividend and amortization of the value of the related warrants issued. Therefore the net income attributable to common stockholders was $0.8 million for the quarter and $1.1 million for the six months.

Second quarter of 2012 fully diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.09, a $0.18 per share improvement compared to $0.09 loss per share in the second quarter of 2011.

In the quarter, the company made several announcements related to progress on its strategic focuses.

The company announced the hiring of Blair Zimmerman as Director of Midstream and Downstream equipment sales. Mr. Zimmerman joins AETI with over 30 years in the Gulf Coast industrial markets and has significant experience in the shale gas, shale oil and refining/petrochemical markets.

AETI also reported a sale of its 1 MW (Mega Watt), 1000 Volt Integrated Solar Inversion Station (ISIS) to Socios Energeticos de Mexico Verde (SEMV). SEMV choose AETI’s ISIS due to AETI’s proven high reliability history built on delivering hundreds of MW of power delivery systems into the world’s harshest environments. The system is set to ship in the third quarter.

Detailed information about the financial results for the 2011 year is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 30, 2012 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before August 14, 2012.
