– Revenue up 33.2% to $74.6 million
– Volume increased 32.0% to 20.7 million gallons
– Earnings Call to be Held Today at 4:30 pm EDT
SUGAR LAND, Texas, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Trecora Resources (NYSE:TREC), a leading provider of high purity, specialty chemicals and minority owner of Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Co. (“AMAK”), released their financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.
“The strength that we experienced in the 1st quarter continued into the 2nd quarter driven by record revenue and volume trends at South Hampton Resources,” said Nick Carter, Chief Executive Officer and President of Trecora. “Our Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA results were also at record levels aided by higher gross margins. AMAK, the Saudi Arabian mining company in which we hold a 35% equity investment, experienced a doubling in revenues; however, lower average metal prices and higher overhead costs prevented AMAK from contributing to Trecora’s profitability.”
Financial Results
Revenue was a record for the second quarter at $74.6 million, a 33.2% increase from the $56.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Volume was also a record for the quarter at 20.7 million gallons, a 32.0% increase from 15.7 million gallons for the second quarter of 2013.
Gross profit for the quarter was $11.7 million compared to $8.6 million in the same quarter last year. Gross profit margin for the quarter was 15.7% compared to 15.3% for the second quarter 2013 and up from 13.6% for the first quarter of 2014.
Net income for Trecora Resources in the second quarter 2014 was $5.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share compared to $6.3 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013. During the second quarter of 2013 a gain of approximately $4.0 million was recorded for the additional equity issuance by AMAK. During 2014 no such gain was recorded. This contributed to the decline in earnings per share. Operating Income increased 48.7% to $7.4 million in the second quarter reflecting the strength at South Hampton Resources.
EBITDA for the second quarter was $8.4 million compared to $10.6 million for second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA, which removes the effects of AMAK for comparative purposes, for the second quarter of 2014 was $8.4 million compared to $5.9 million in 2013.
Cash at the end of the quarter was $6.4 million compared to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2013. Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $6.0 million, cash used by investing activities was $3.6 million and cash used by financing was $3.6 million during the second quarter. During the quarter we made net principal payments of $3.0 million on our line of credit and made a standard payments totaling $700,000 on our term loan.
