ADAMS RESOURCES & ENERGY, INC. Date: March 18, 2004 By: /s/ Richard B. Abshire ------------------------------- Richard B. Abshire Chief Financial Officer 3 EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit No. Description ----------- ----------- 99.1 Copy of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. press release dated March 18, 2004 entitled Adams Resources Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings. EX-99.1 3 h13842exv99w1.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED MARCH 18, 2004 EXHIBIT 99.1 JIM SMITH (713) 881-3662 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADAMS RESOURCES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS Houston (March 18, 2004) -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc., (AMEX-AE), announced fourth quarter 2003 unaudited net earnings of $651,000 or $.16 per common share on revenues of $422,429,000. This compares to a fourth quarter 2002 net earnings of $113,000 or $.02 per common share. Net earnings for 2003 totaled $3,102,000 or $.74 per common share on revenues of $1,721,929,000. Net cash flow generated from operating activities totaled $9,093,000 during 2003. Chairman and President, K. S. "Bud" Adams, Jr. attributed the comparative fourth quarter earnings increase to two primary factors. First, there were reduced losses within the Company's discontinued New England natural gas business as that operation winds down. Second, there was additional available statutory percentage depletion for 2003, which served to reduce the Company's overall effective tax rate. During 2003, revenues from oil and gas production increased by 77 percent to $8,395,000, thus qualifying the Company for the additional tax deductions. Mr. Adams added that results of oil and gas exploration efforts in 2003 yielded twenty-four productive wells out of thirty-six wells drilled during the year. Because of the favorable drilling results, oil and gas reserve additions replaced 2003 production by 221 percent on an equivalent barrel basis. Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. is in the business of crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products marketing, as well as tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals, and oil and gas exploration and production.
