Arabian American Releases Second Quarter 2013 Results
Earnings Call to be Held Today at 4:30 pm EDT
SUGAR LAND, Texas, Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Arabian American Development Co. (NYSE:ARSD), a leading provider of high purity specialty chemicals and minority owner of the Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company ("AMAK"), released their financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter was $56.0 million, a 9.5% decrease from the second quarter of 2012 revenue of $61.8 million and a 6.1% sequential increase as compared to the first quarter of 2013. The second quarter 2013 decrease in revenue was due to a decline in volume as noted below.
Volume for the quarter was 15.7 million gallons compared to 17.2 million gallons, a decrease of 8.6% from the second quarter of 2012, but up 6.7% from the previous quarter. Volume declined from 2012 primarily due to significant reductions in sales to two customers, lower byproduct sales, and a significant increase in deferred sales which are not recognized until the customer accepts delivery of the product and title has transferred. Deferred sales increased by 59.1% from Q2 2012 to Q2 2013.
Total gross profit for Q2 2013 was $8.6 million as compared to $8.4 million in the same period last year. The gross profit margin for the quarter was 15.3% compared to 13.5% in the year-ago period. Margins improved primarily due to improved feedstock composition, higher byproduct pricing and increased operating efficiencies.
Due to the completion of AMAK's equity raise during the second quarter of 2013, a gain on the additional issuance of $4.0 million was recognized in addition to $0.7 million in equity in earnings from AMAK. For the same period in 2012, $0.3 million was recognized for equity in losses from AMAK.
EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was $10.6 million compared to $6.2 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA which removes the effects of AMAK for comparative purposes for the second quarter of 2013 was $5.9 million compared to $6.5 million in 2012.
Net income attributable to Arabian American in the second quarter was $6.3 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share compared to a restated $3.5 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share in Q2 2012.
Cash at the end of the quarter was $4.7 million compared to $9.5 million as of December 31, 2012. Cash used in investing activities during the first six months was approximately $8.9 million primarily due to the additional equity purchased in AMAK of $7.5 million and additions to plant, pipeline and equipment of $3.1 million which represents an increase of approximately $4.1 million over the corresponding period in 2012.
"We are pleased with the overall progress in our business. Sequentially our volumes were up as expected," said Nick Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Arabian American. "The uptick reflects our normal business pattern due to seasonality. Perhaps more importantly, our margins improved in the quarter through a combination of better feedstock composition and operational efficiencies at our petrochemical facility. Our team at South Hampton Resources has worked diligently to produce these improved results."
Mr. Carter continued, "We are happy to report that the AMAK mine is operating at full capacity and in line with the economic assessment. The gold dore circuit is undergoing test runs and should be operational prior to the end of the year. This will add additional revenue to the project and will be another step in getting the economics fine-tuned. Overall, it is becoming a producing investment for shareholders that we believe will continue to contribute to our net income in 2013."
