FOR RELEASE – November 12, 2013– 7:00 am (EST)

AETI Reports Record Quarterly Revenues and Backlog

Quarterly profit up 80 percent

HOUSTON, November 12, 2013—American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AETI), a leading supplier of power delivery solutions for the global energy industry, today announced its third quarter and year-to-date 2013 financial results.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013 AETI reported consolidated revenue of $17.6 million, up 50 percent from Q3 2012 and up 16 percent from Q2 2013.

Operating income from domestic operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 increased by more than 500 percent to $0.8 million from $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 and up 90 percent from the $0.4 million in Q2 2013.

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased 80 percent to $0.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share when compared to the $0.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to common shareholders was down $0.02 when compared to the $0.12 per diluted share reported in Q2 2013.

For the first three quarters of 2013, net income attributable to common stockholders was up 127 percent to $3.6 million, up from $1.6 million in the first three quarters of 2012 on revenue of $47.2 million, a gain of 21 percent from $39.0 million of revenue reported during the first 9 months of 2012.

“Our focus on our core oil & gas and distributed power generation segments of the energy industry have driven our record revenues and backlog for the quarter,” said Charles Dauber, AETI president and chief executive officer. “83% of our record quarterly backlog comes from our core energy industry focus, and we expect the strong requirements for natural gas infrastructure in the US, including pipelines and gas processing, will continue driving needs for our power delivery solutions well into 2014.”

AETI’s joint venture companies reported $21.0 million of aggregate revenues 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 $0.4 million for the quarter, compared to $0.7 million for Q3 2012 and $1.2 million in Q2 of this year, primarily due to current macro-economic issues in both the Chinese and Brazilian markets.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization of $1.4 million, a 29 percent improvement over the same period in 2012. The Company ended the quarter with $4.2 million of cash, $0.5 million of debt and $31.1 million of backlog.
