Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Financial Results; Increases Annual Sales Volumes by 42% as Company Grows Integrated Marine Fuel Logistics Infrastructure

PIRAEUS, Greece, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. NYSE: ANW, an international marine fuel logistics company that markets and physically supplies refined marine fuel and lubricants to ships in port and at sea, announced today financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2007.

    Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Highlights    -- Increased sales volumes to 1,026,395 metric tons in Q4 2007 and       3,437,269 metric tons for the full year    -- Generated gross spread on marine petroleum products of $29.3 million in       Q4 2007 and $89.7 million for the full year    -- Recorded operating income of $8.8 million in Q4 2007 and $30.8 million       for the full year    -- Recorded net income of $6.3 million, or $0.15 basic and diluted       earnings per share, in Q4 2007 and $27.7 million, or $0.65 basic and       diluted earnings per share, for the full year         - Net income includes vessel repositioning costs, startup expenses           and certain nonrecurring items, which totalled approximately           $1.5 million. Proforma net income, as adjusted for these items,           was $7.8 million, or $0.18 basic and diluted earnings per share,           in Q4 2007    -- Further expanded marine fuel logistics infrastructure         - Took delivery of four double-hull newbuilding bunkering tankers           since Company's IPO         - Took delivery of four bunkering tankers acquired in the secondary           market in 2007         - Took delivery of two double-hull storage tankers in 2007         - Successfully integrated the acquisition of Bunkers at Sea, which           now services the Northern European market         - Commenced operations in West Africa in January 2008 with the           opening of a new service center in Ghana         - Acquired Portland Bunkers International in the U.K.; scheduled to           launch operations in the first quarter of 2008

The Company recorded net income of $6.3 million, or $0.15 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2007. For purposes of comparison, the Company reported net income of $5.9 million, or $0.19 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2006 were 31,683,098 and 31,683,609, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding were 42,438,214 and 42,618,362, respectively.

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 150.2% to $500.6 million compared to $200.1 million for the same period in 2006. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, sales of marine petroleum products increased 152.6% to $497.3 million compared to $196.9 million for the same period in 2006.

Results for the fourth quarter of 2007 were driven by a 62.8% increase in the gross spread on marine petroleum products to $29.3 million compared to $18.0 million for the same period in 2006. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, the volume of marine fuel sold increased 56.5% to 1,026,395 metric tons compared to 655,892 metric tons for the same period in 2006, as sales volumes in the Company's service centers located in Gibraltar, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates improved significantly. Furthermore, results for the fourth quarter of 2007 included sales volumes from Aegean's new service center in Northern Europe following consummation of the Company's acquisition of Bunkers at Sea NV in October 2007. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold increased by $1.1 per metric ton from the same period in 2006, to $28.4 per metric ton.

Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 20.5% to $8.8 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2006. Operating expenses, excluding the cost of fuel and cargo transportation costs (both of which are included in the calculation of gross spread on marine petroleum products explained above), increased to $23.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared to $13.9 million for the same period in 2006. This increase was principally due to a larger fleet of bunkering tankers and floating storage facilities owned and operated by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Additionally, the Company incurred substantially higher general and administrative costs associated with Aegean's public company status as well as expenditures related to the Company's expanded infrastructure.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007, which totalled $6.3 million, was adversely affected by higher interest costs, as compared to net income of $5.9 million during the same period in 2006. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the age of Aegean's trade payables further declined as a direct result of marine fuel cargo purchases while the age of trade receivables registered positive changes. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2007 marine fuel inventories increased primarily due to the purchase of a marine fuel cargo for a new service center in West Africa made prior to year end in order to accelerate the commencement of operations in this new service center during the first quarter of 2008. These factors, coupled with a double digit increase in oil and gas prices during the fourth quarter of 2007, increased Aegean's working capital excluding cash and debt position which was financed by the Company's revolving overdraft facility.

E. Nikolas Tavlarios, President, commented, "2007 was a year of considerable success and expansion for Aegean, as the Company enhanced its leadership role as a full-service provider of marine fuel services. We maintained our focus on the execution of our well-capitalized growth plan during the fourth quarter, which led to a 56.5% increase in the volume of marine fuel sold compared to the year-earlier period. Specifically, we took delivery of three 4,600 dwt bunkering tanker newbuildings, the Serifos, the Kithnos and the Amorgos, in the fourth quarter. Complementing the growth in our double-hull delivery capabilities, we expanded Aegean's global network for the physical supply of marine fuel with the launch of our latest service center in Northern Europe. Building on this success, we have commenced physical supply operations in West Africa in January 2008 and we plan to commence physical supply operations in the United Kingdom during the first quarter of 2008, thereby increasing our global network to eight service centers."

Mr. Tavlarios added, "Since our IPO in December of 2006, we have taken delivery of four double-hull bunkering tanker newbuildings as well as four bunkering tankers acquired in the secondary market. We have also taken delivery of two double-hull storage tankers in 2007 to mitigate potential supply shortages. The Company remains on track to expand its fleet to a total of 44 double-hull bunkering tankers by the end of 2010, including 10 remaining double-hull newbuilding bunkering tankers scheduled for delivery in 2008. With an expansive, integrated solution for the worldwide delivery of marine fuel combined with the positive industry fundamentals, we believe Aegean is well positioned to further increase sales volumes as we continue to execute our growth strategy."

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $27.7 million, or $0.65 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $24.2 million, or $0.84 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2007 were 42,417,111 and 42,505,704, respectively. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2006 were 28,954,521 and 28,954,622, respectively.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 68.3% to $1,352.9 million compared to $803.8 million for the prior year. Sales of marine petroleum products increased 70.2% to $1,345.8 million in 2007 compared to $790.7 million in 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the volume of marine fuel sold increased by 45.2% to 3,437,269 metric tons compared to 2,367,289 metric tons in 2006, as sales volumes improved significantly in all of the Company's service centers except Greece, which had experienced disruptions stemming from a dockworkers union strike during late December 2006, resulting in a reduction of business in 2007. Sales volumes during 2007 also included sales volumes in Aegean's new service center in Northern Europe.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 1.0% to $30.8 million compared to $30.5 million for the prior year. Operating income registered mild growth year over year as the 44.7% increase in the gross spread on marine petroleum products during 2007 was offset by higher operating expenses. Operating expenses increased due to growth in the fleet of bunkering tankers and floating storage facilities owned and operated by the Company and higher general and administrative costs associated with being a public company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.0 million and working capital of $63.5 million. Non-cash working capital, or working capital excluding cash and debt, was $190.2 million as of December 31, 2007.

Net cash used in operating activities was $84.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, was $10.0 million for the period. However, the net positive change in working capital accounts utilized $94.6 million in cash during the period and the Company made drydocking payments of $0.3 million during the period. Net cash used in operating activities was $128.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities was $39.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, mainly due to additional payments of $26.0 million under the Company's construction contracts as well as payments totaling $9.7 million relating to the acquisition of secondhand tankers including the Vera and Sara. Furthermore, the Company paid net cash consideration of $5.7 million for the previously announced acquisitions of Bunkers at Sea and Portland Bunkers International Limited. Net cash used in investing activities was $116.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $127.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, mainly due to the increase in short-term borrowings of $107.0 million used to finance working capital requirements and acquisitions, and additional drawdowns of $21.6 million under the Company's term loan facilities to finance a portion of the Company's construction costs of its vessels. Net cash provided by financing activities was $172.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $27.0 million in available liquidity to finance additional working capital requirements, which includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and a revolving overdraft facility under the Company's $300.0 million senior secured credit facility. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2007, the Company had a $150 million revolving guarantee and letter of credit facility under the Company's $300.0 million senior secured credit facility. Standby letters of credit are critical drivers of growth as most suppliers of refined marine fuel transact on a secured basis. Finally, the Company had available and unutilized funds of approximately $159.6 million under the Company's secured term loans to finance the construction of its new bunkering tankers.

Ziad Nakhleh, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Aegean's financial performance for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2007 reflects the success we have achieved in significantly growing our international marine fuel logistics infrastructure. The growth in our sales volumes and net revenues during 2007 was partially offset by expenditures made to upgrade and expand our central logistics infrastructure and organization. We believe that going forward we are better-positioned to translate additional volume growth into bottom line growth."

Mr. Nakhleh continued, "Regarding our capital structure, borrowings under our overdraft facilities were higher than expected as our average cost price of marine fuel increased by 67% during 2007. Increases in oil and gas prices impact the working capital financing needs for the industry as a whole. Our strong working capital base, including a new $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility, provides us an even higher advantage in the current credit environment."

Working capital excluding cash and debt is defined as        current assets minus cash and cash equivalents minus restricted cash        minus current liabilities plus short-term borrowings plus current        portion of long-term debt.    (2) Gross spread on marine petroleum products represents the margin the        Company generates on sales of marine fuel and lubricants.  Gross        spread on marine fuel represents the margin that the Company generates        on sales of various classifications of marine fuel oil  ("MFO") or        marine gas oil ("MGO"). Gross spread on lubricants represents the        margin that the Company generates on sales of lubricants. The Company        calculates the above-mentioned gross spreads by subtracting from the        sales of the respective marine petroleum product the cost of the        respective marine petroleum product sold, i.e., the amount the Company        pays its suppliers for those products.  For arrangements in which the        Company physically supplies the respective marine petroleum product        using its bunkering tankers, costs of the respective marine petroleum        products sold represents amounts paid by the Company for the        respective marine petroleum product sold in the relevant reporting        period. For arrangements in which the respective marine petroleum        product is purchased from the Company's related company, Aegean        Oil S.A., or Aegean Oil, cost of the respective marine petroleum        products sold represents the total amount paid by the Company to the        physical supplier for the respective marine petroleum product and its        delivery to the customer. For arrangement in which the Company        purchases cargos for its floating storage facilities, transportation        costs may be included in the purchase price of marine fuels from the        supplier or may be incurred separately from a third-party        transportation provider.        Gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold represents the margin        the Company generates per metric ton of marine fuel sold. The Company        calculates gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold by dividing        the gross spread on marine fuel by the sales volume of marine fuel.        Marine fuel sales do not include sales of lubricants. The following        table reflects the calculation of gross spread per metric ton of        marine fuel sold for the periods presented:                                  For the Three Months        For the Year                                    Ended December 31,      Ended December 31,                                     2006       2007        2006        2007                       (in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)    Sales of marine     petroleum products            196,934    497,260     790,657   1,345,849      Less: Cost of marine       petroleum products sold    (178,917)  (465,806)   (728,637) (1,251,712)      Less: Cargo       transportation costs              -     (2,151)          -      (4,466)    Gross spread on marine     petroleum products             18,017     29,303      62,020      89,671      Less: Gross spread on       lubricants                      (92)      (141)       (455)       (536)    Gross spread on marine fuel     17,925     29,162      61,565      89,135    Sales volume of marine fuel     (metric tons)                 655,892  1,026,395   2,367,289   3,437,269    Gross spread per metric     ton of marine fuel     sold (U.S. dollars)              27.3       28.4        26.0        25.9        The amount that the Company has to pay for marine petroleum products        to fulfill a customer order has been the primary variable in        determining the prices quoted to customers. Therefore, the Company        evaluates gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold in pricing        individual transactions and in long-term strategic pricing decisions.        The Company actively monitors its pricing and sourcing strategies in        order to optimize its gross spread on marine petroleum products. The        Company believes that this measure is important to investors because        it is an effective intermediate performance measure of the strength of        the Company's operations.        Gross spread on marine petroleum products, including gross spread on        marine fuel and gross spread on lubricants, and gross spread per        metric ton of marine fuel sold should not be considered as        alternatives to operating income, net income or other GAAP measures        and may not be comparable to similarly titled measure of other        companies. These measures do not reflect certain direct or indirect        costs of delivering marine petroleum products to the Company's        customers (such as crew salaries, vessel depreciation, storage costs,        other vessel operating expenses or overhead costs) or other costs of        doing business.        For all periods presented, the Company purchased marine petroleum        products in Greece from its related company, Aegean Oil, which is a        physical supplier in Greece. The cost of these marine petroleum        products was contractually calculated based on Aegean Oil's actual        cost of these products plus a margin.    (3) Sales volume data details the volume of marine fuel sold per service        center. Sales volume of marine fuel is the volume of sales of various        classifications of MFO and MGO for the relevant period and is        denominated in metric tons. The Company does not use the sales volume        of lubricants as an indicator.        The Company's service centers include its operational physical supply        operations in the United Arab Emirates, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Singapore        and Northern Europe, as well as Greece, where the Company conducts        operations through its related company, Aegean Oil.        Sales volumes of marine fuel attributed to each service center are        based on the point-of-delivery geographical location of the customer        vessels.    (4) Other sales volumes represent sales volumes of marine fuel not        attributed to any of the Company's service centers.  From time to        time, the Company conducts limited marine fuel trading activities,        generally in locations where the Company does not have service        centers.  This business involves activities whereby the Company        contracts with third party physical suppliers to sell the Company        marine fuel and to deliver the marine fuel to a customer in the        relevant port.  These trading activities do not involve the Company's        physical possession of marine fuel and require less complex logistical        operations, and infrastructure. As such, the Company typically earn a        significantly lower gross spread from its trading activities than from        its physical supply activities.    (5) This data does not include the Company's Aframax tanker, the Leader,        and Panamax tankers, the Fos and the Ouranos, because these vessels        are classified as floating storage facilities.    (6) Average number of bunkering tankers is the number of bunkering tankers        in the Company's fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum        of the number of days each bunkering tanker was used as a part of the        fleet during the period divided by the cumulative number of calendar        days in the period multiplied by the number of bunkering tankers at        the end of the period.    (7) As of December 31, 2007, the Company used its Panamax tanker, the        Ouranos, as a floating storage facility in the United Arab Emirates        and its Aframax tanker, the Leader, as a floating storage facility in        Gibraltar. As of December 31, 2007, the Company's other Panamax        tanker, the Fos, was being deployed to West Africa to be used as a        floating storage facility.        The ownership of floating storage facilities allows the Company to        mitigate its risk of supply shortages. Generally, storage costs are        included in the price of refined marine fuel quoted by local        suppliers. The Company expects that the ownership of floating storage        facilities will allow it to convert the variable costs of this storage        fee mark-up per metric ton quoted by suppliers into fixed costs of        operating its owned storage facilities, thus enabling the Company to        spread larger sales volumes over a fixed cost base and to decrease its        refined fuel costs.
