Net sales for the first half of 2013 were $496.0 million compared to $490.2 million for the first half of 2012, a 1% increase. Earnings from continuing operations for the first half of 2013 were $24.3 million or $1.05 per diluted share compared to $21.5 million or $0.93 per diluted share for the first half of 2012, an increase of 13% per diluted share.

Consolidated financial information for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 and additional information related to segment revenues and profits are attached as addenda to this press release.
Commenting on the announcement, Dr. J. Don Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “As we discussed in our first quarter conference call, our second quarter performance was very similar to our first quarter. We were able to reduce our S,G,A and E expenses compared to the first quarter of 2013 but our gross margin came in below our expectations in the Asphalt Group due to product mix and decreased overhead absorption.”
Dr. Brock continued, “Many areas of the Central and Eastern United States have experienced historically high rainfall, delaying construction work. This has also delayed many of our shipments. However, on a positive note, customers are seeing a slight pickup in residential and commercial work. With the delayed work for the first half of the year we expect to see their business much stronger in the second half. Hopefully this will improve demand during the fourth quarter and into next year. We continue to be optimistic for our growth in the energy business with our new pellet plant, high tech drill rigs, pump trailers, water heaters, and gas processing heaters. Unfortunately, we see the near term orders being down slightly with a pickup in demand in the fourth quarter. We are continuing to reduce expenses in anticipation of this.”
