FutureFuel
Provides Update on Second Half 2007 Operating Results
St.
Louis, MO, February 7, 2008 – FutureFuel Corp. ("FutureFuel", "we" or the
"Company") reported its first half 2007 results in an announcement filed with
the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market on February 1, 2008
and trading of its securities resumed. Today FutureFuel provided an
update on its operations during the second half of 2007.
As
disclosed in its first half 2007 results, FutureFuel’s revenues and earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the first half of
2007 were $79.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company’s
first half 2007 financial results are available on the investor relations page
of the Company’s website at www.futurefuelcorporation.com. These
results were broadly in line with management's expectations. During
the second half of 2007, the Company experienced improved performance, with
results across nearly all product lines coming in ahead of
expectations.
Revenue
during the second half of 2007 is estimated to be in excess of $90 million, with
full year revenue of approximately $170 million. The higher revenue
base in the second half of the year is also expected to result in increased
profitability. At December 31, 2007 the Company had approximately $74
million of cash, cash equivalents and short term investments, versus
approximately $63 million at June 30, 2007. All of the above
financial information is preliminary and is subject to audit and further
adjustment.
