SUGAR LAND, Texas, Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trecora Resources (NYSE: TREC), a leading provider of high purity, specialty chemicals and waxes and a minority owner of Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Co. ("AMAK"), released their financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
"Our top line revenue growth in the third quarter 2014 continued the strength that we've seen for the last several quarters, up 26% versus the 3rd quarter 2013 and up 3% sequentially compared to 2nd quarter 2014. Our South Hampton subsidiary experienced very strong volume trends, with volume up 27% to 21.6 million gallons," said Nick Carter, CEO and President of Trecora Resources. "We are also, very pleased to announce that we have completed the SSI Chusei ("Chusei") acquisition and believe strongly that this acquisition gives us the ability to grow market share, increase product and customer diversity, and expand our footprint in specialty products and services," added Mr. Carter.
Financial Results
Trecora's third quarter revenues were another quarterly record at $76.9 million, an increase of 26.4% from the $60.9 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Volume was also at record levels for the quarter at 21.6 million gallons, a 27.4% increase from the 16.9 million gallon levels for the third quarter of 2013.
Gross profit margin for the quarter was 16.9% compared to 16.6% for the third quarter 2013 and up from 15.7% for the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit for the quarter was $13.0 million compared to $10.1 million in the same quarter last year.
Net income for Trecora Resources in the third quarter 2014 was $5.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share ($0.24 per basic share) compared to $ 5.2 million or $0.21 per diluted share ($0.22 per basic share) in the third quarter of 2013. Net income was negatively impacted by the acquisition costs associated with the recent purchase of Chusei and the $343,000 equity in loss of AMAK, yet still showed a 10.6% increase for the quarter. Operating Income increased 34.6% to $ 8.8 million in the third quarter versus $6.6 million in the 3rd quarter last year reflecting the strength at South Hampton.
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was $9.5 million compared to $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA, which removes the effects of AMAK for comparative purposes, for the third quarter of 2014 was $9.8 million compared to $7.5 million in 2013.
Cash at the end of the quarter was $13.9 million compared to $7.1 million as of September 30, 2013. The increase in cash was primarily in anticipation of the Chusei acquisition which closed on October 1, 2014. Cash provided by operations was $18.3 million, cash used by investing activities was $8.0 million and cash used by financing was $4.0 million.
