by Marketwire
TULSA, OK -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAON) today announced its operating results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, and declares dividends.
In the quarter, net sales increased 4% to $76.8 million from $73.8 million in 2011, and net income increased 7% to $6.0 million from $5.6 million last year. Earnings per diluted share were $0.24, up 4% from $0.23 for the same period a year ago, based upon 24.7 million and 24.8 million diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to September 30, 2011, respectively. Of note, the Company's combined income tax rate in the third quarter of 2012 totaled 43% compared to a rate of 35% in 2011. Income taxes for the full year 2012 are expected to be approximately 37%.
Net sales for the first nine months of 2012 increased 11% to a record $225.1 million from $202.8 million in 2011, and net income increased 52% to $19.9 million from $13.1 million. Earnings per diluted share were $0.80, up 51% from $0.53, based upon 24.7 million and 24.9 million diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011, respectively.
The Company realized a 241% increase in cash flow from operations during the first nine months of 2012, which enabled it to pay off its revolving credit loan of $4.6 million and to accumulate cash and investments totaling $15.5 million.
Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated, "The increases in revenues primarily reflect gains in market share, while the increases in earnings for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 were attributable to improved productivity, which resulted in increased gross margins from 19.3% to 22.3% in the third quarters of 2011 and 2012, respectively, and from 18.6% to 23.0% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012. Our backlog at September 30, 2012 was $55.3 million compared to $54.1 million at the same time a year ago."
At a meeting of the Board of Directors on November 7, 2012, the Board declared a regular semi-annual cash dividend of $0.12 per share. Mr. Asbjornson said, "In view of our strong financial position, the Board also declared a one-time special cash dividend of $0.12 per share." Both dividends will be paid to the holders of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the close of business on December 3, 2012, the record date, payable December 24, 2012.
Mr. Asbjornson said that, "We are very pleased with the results of the first nine months of 2012, particularly in light of the difficult existing market conditions, and anticipate an above average fourth quarter."
The Company will host a conference call today at 4:15 P.M. ET to discuss the third quarter results.
