AAON Reports Record Sales and Earnings

TULSA, OK--(Marketwired - May 9, 2013) - AAON, INC. (NASDAQ: AAON), today announced its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of $66.8 million in sales (up 3%), and $7.1 million of net income (up 56%), $0.29 per share, compared to $65.0 million in sales and $4.6 million in net income, $0.18 per share, a year ago. Per share earnings are on a diluted basis.

Both sales and earnings were records for the first quarter. However, net income for the first quarter of 2013 benefited by a $1.6 million reduction of the income tax provision, or $0.07 per share, largely due to an Oklahoma investment credit and change in Federal tax laws. The Company anticipates an effective tax rate of 34.5% for the balance of this year (vs. 14.6% in the first quarter of 2013 and 39.9% in 2012).

Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated, "The first quarter increases in sales and income from operations primarily reflect price increases, although gross profit increased 2.1% (from 20.8% to 22.9%), while SG&A expenses also increased 1.2% (from 9.2% to 10.4%), a majority of which (SG&A) represents increased advertising expense and cash bonuses to employees which are not expected to occur during the rest of 2013."

Mr. Asbjornson pointed out that the Company's backlog increased from $58.9 million at March 31, 2012, to a record of $71.7 million at March 31, 2013, or by 22%.

Mr. Asbjornson said, "Based on the first quarter results and backlog, we expect 2013 to produce both higher sales and earnings than 2012."

The Company will host a conference call today at 4:15 P.M. EDT to discuss the first quarter results. To participate, call 1-877-737-1669 (Code:VA23770).
