ADAMS RESOURCES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2009
RESULTS AND ANNUAL DIVIDEND

Houston (November 13, 2009) -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc., (NYSE Amex-AE), announced today third quarter 2009 net earnings of $639,000 or $.15 per common share.  Revenues for the quarter totaled $576,299,000.  Current results compare to an unaudited third quarter 2008 net loss of $6,276,000 or $1.49 per common share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 net earnings were $5,243,000 or $1.24 per share on revenues totaling $1,431,510,000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $26,979,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Chairman K. S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. attributed the third quarter 2009 earnings improvement to price stability within the crude oil markets for 2009 relative to 2008.  Last year, declining crude oil prices caused the Company to recognize a non-cash $11.6 million pre-tax inventory valuation loss on the market value of its crude oil inventories held during the third quarter of 2008.  Such item did not recur in 2009.

A summary of operating results is as follows:
