ADAMS RESOURCES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2010
RESULTS AND INCREASES ANNUAL DIVIDEND


Houston (November 12, 2010) -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc., (NYSE Amex-AE), announced today unaudited third quarter 2010 net earnings of $2,762,000 or $.66 per common share.  Revenues for the quarter totaled $502,455,000.  Current results compare to unaudited third quarter 2009 net earnings of $639,000 or $.15 per common share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 unaudited net earnings were $6,241,000 or $1.48 per share on revenues totaling $1,583,381,000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $26,494,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.

Chairman K. S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. attributed the third quarter 2010 earnings increase to improved demand within the Company’s transportation segment where operating earnings grew by 69 percent for the comparative quarter. The Company also experienced improvement within the oil and gas production segment, as losses narrowed on the strength of increased commodity prices and reduced charges for prospect impairment valuations.
