FOR RELEASE – August 6, 2013– 7:00 am (EST)

AETI Reports Profit Up 40% in Second Quarter and 148% for First Half 2013

HOUSTON, August 6, 2013 - American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AETI) a leading supplier of power delivery solutions for the global energy industry, today announced its second quarter and first half 2013 financial results.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013 AETI reported consolidated revenue of $15.2 million, up 18% from $12.9 million in Q2 2012 and up 5% from Q1 2013.

Operating income from domestic operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 grew 135% to $0.4 million from $0.17 million in the second quarter of 2012 but fell $0.2 million from Q1.

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased 40% to $1.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share when compared to the $0.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, reported in the second quarter of 2012. Sequentially, net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by $0.6 million vs. Q1 2013.

For the 1st half of 2013, net income was up 148% to $2.7 million, up from $1.1 million in the 1st half of 2012 on a revenue gain of 8%.

“The company continues to make progress in 2013 based on our ability to provide turnkey technical solutions to the North American oil and gas and power distribution sectors of the energy industry,” said Charles Dauber, AETI president and chief executive officer. “Although we experienced some growing pains on several projects in the quarter that negatively impacted our gross margins compared with Q1, we remain focused on our strategic objectives, have a high quality backlog of $26 million and expect improved margins in the second half of 2013.”

AETI’s joint venture companies reported aggregate revenues of $38.8 million for the quarter of which the Company reports only its share of the net equity income. AETI’s equity in the income of its foreign joint ventures, net of management expenses, was $1.2 million for the quarter, compared to $0.9 million for Q2 2012 and compared with $1.4 million in Q1 of this year.

Dauber continued, “Although we are bullish for our global energy markets long term, current macroeconomic and external factors require us to be more conservative in our outlook for the remainder of 2013 with regard to the Company’s Chinese and Brazilian international joint ventures.”

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization of $1.8 million, a 30% improvement over the
