TULSA, OK--(Marketwired - May 05, 2016) - AAON, Inc. (
Net sales in the first quarter were $85.4 million, up 11.3% from $76.8 million in 2015. Net income was $10.8 million, up 28.7% from $8.4 million in the same period a year ago.
Earnings per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016 were $0.20, up 33.3% from $0.15 for the same period the previous year, based upon 53.4 million and 54.6 million shares outstanding at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Both sales and earnings in 2016 were all-time records for any first quarter in the history of AAON.
Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated, "The first quarter of 2016 gains in sales and income from operations primarily reflect increases in volume, in addition to a decline in the cost of materials, with gross profit as a percentage of sales increasing to 30.1% of sales as compared to 28.4% of sales a year ago. Our SG&A expense as a percentage of sales declined from 10.8% to 10.4% for the first quarter."
Mr. Asbjornson further added, "Our financial condition at March 31, 2016 remained quite strong with a current ratio of 3.4:1 (including cash and short-term investments totaling $43.2 million). We also remain debt free. Our backlog at March 31, 2016 increased 8.8% to $60.3 million, from $55.4 million for the same period a year ago."
Mr. Asbjornson continued, "The year is off to a strong start and we expect the rest of the year to remain firm. Work continues on our new Water Source Heat Pump line and while we are excited by the outlook for this product, significant sales from this product line will not be witnessed until mid-2017, with related profits making an impact in 2018."
The Company will host a conference call today at 4:15 P.M. Eastern Time to discuss the first quarter results. To participate, call 1-888-241-0551 (code 3226942); or, for rebroadcast, call 1-855-859-2056 (code 3226942).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), an additional non-GAAP financial measure is provided and reconciled in the following table. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provides information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and operating performance.
EBITDAX
EBITDAX (as defined below) is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company's ability to internally fund operations.
The Company defines EBITDAX as net income, plus (1) depreciation, (2) amortization of bond premiums, (3) share-based compensation, (4) interest (income) expense and (5) income tax expense. EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
The Company's EBITDAX measure provides additional information which may be used to better understand the Company's operations. EBITDAX is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance. EBITDAX, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company's management team and by other users of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for the periods indicated:
