The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were 42,588,483 and 42,835,526, respectively. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were 42,505,507 and 42,640,765, respectively.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009, decreased by 22.6% to $736.1 million compared to $950.6 million for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, sales of marine petroleum products decreased by 22.9% to $731.8 million compared to $948.6 million for the year-earlier period.

Results for the third quarter of 2009 were primarily driven by a 7.9% increase in the gross spread on marine petroleum products to $47.9 million compared to $44.4 million for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the volume of marine fuel sold increased by 22.1% to 1,635,473 metric tons compared to 1,338,914 metric tons in the year-earlier period, as sales volumes improved in Greece, Gibraltar, the U.A.E., and Singapore. Furthermore, results for the third quarter of 2009 included increased sales volumes from Aegean's newer markets.  During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold decreased to $28.9 per metric ton, compared to $32.8 per metric ton in the year-earlier period.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2009 was $17.2 million, compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2008. 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 $35.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $31.3 million for the same period in 2008.  This increase was principally due to the expanded logistics infrastructure during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008.

E. Nikolas Tavlarios, President, commented, "During the third quarter, we continued to take advantage of our strong capital position and strengthen our leading industry brand, enabling Aegean to once again post solid results for shareholders. Highlighting our success, we increased sales volumes by 22.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the year-earlier period. While actively managing counterparty risk during a challenging economic environment, we further expanded our industry leadership in the quarter. Specifically, we commenced operations in Tangiers, Morocco, the third new market launched by Aegean in 2009 and ninth since going public in December 2006. In addition to increasing our global scale, we expanded our high-quality logistics infrastructure with the delivery of nine double-hull bunkering vessels to date in 2009, including two newbuildings in the third quarter. Consistent with our goal to capitalize on the strong demand for modern tonnage, we plan to take delivery of 17 remaining newbuildings by the end of next year. With a growing infrastructure for the worldwide delivery of marine fuel, we expect to continue to increase Aegean's global market share and drive future sales volumes."

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded net income of $34.8 million, or $0.82 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $26.8 million, or $0.63 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the year-earlier period. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 were 42,573,082 and 42,601,423, respectively. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were 42,490,780 and 42,643,124, respectively.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by 26.1% to $1,644.1 million compared to $2,223.6 million for the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, sales of marine petroleum products decreased by 26.5% to $1,631.0 million compared to $2,217.6 million for the same period in 2008. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $139.4 million as compared to $121.4 million in the year-earlier period.

Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were led by an 9.5% increase in the gross spread on marine petroleum products to $126.3 million compared to $115.3 million for the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the volume of marine fuel sold increased 22.4% to 4,444,447 metric tons compared to 3,631,486 metric tons in the year-earlier period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold decreased by $3.5 to $28.0 per metric ton, compared to $31.5 per metric ton for the same period a year ago.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $34.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, driven by both an increase in short-term borrowings and an increase in long-term debt financing relating to newbuild vessels.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $85.8 million in available liquidity to finance working capital requirements, which includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available undrawn amounts under the Company's short-term working capital facilities.  Furthermore, as of September 30, 2009, the Company had funds of approximately $70.4 million available under its secured term loans to finance the construction of its new double-hull bunkering tankers.

Spyros Gianniotis, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Aegean's financial results for the third quarter reflect sales volume growth in core markets located in Greece, Gibraltar, the UAE and Singapore as well as contributions from new markets. Our notable performance demonstrates management's ability to increase sales volumes while maintaining a prudent approach in extending credit to customers. During the quarter, we also secured a new $50 million credit facility under attractive terms, once again enhancing our leading competitive position. Our significant financial liquidity, including credit facilities totalling $320 million and $50.3 million in cash, bodes well for Aegean to further expand its long-term earnings potential as we continue to execute our growth strategy."

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 and cargo transportation costs. 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 arrangements in which the Company purchases cargos of marine fuel 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 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:

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 measures 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.
 

 
2.
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 markets include its physical supply operations in the United Arab Emirates, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Singapore, Northern Europe, Ghana, Vancouver, Portland (U.K.), Trinidad and Tobago (Southern Caribbean), Tangiers (Morocco), and Greece, where the Company conducts operations through its related company, Aegean Oil.
 

 
3.
Bunkering fleet comprises both bunkering vessels and barges.
 

 
4.
Figure represents average bunkering fleet number for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each bunkering tanker or barge was used as 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.   This figure does not take into account non-operating days due to either scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.

Special Purpose Vessels consists of the Orion, a 550 dwt tanker which is based in our Greek market.
 

 
6.
The Company operates two Panamax tankers, the Ouranos and the Fos, one Aframax tanker, the Leader, and one general purpose tanker, the Aegean IX, as floating storage facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Ghana, Gibraltar, and Jamaica, respectively.

 
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.

Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities. 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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business.  Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include our ability to manage growth, our ability to maintain our business in light of our proposed business and location expansion, our ability to obtain double hull secondhand bunkering tankers, the outcome of legal, tax or regulatory proceedings to which we may become a party, adverse conditions in the shipping or the marine fuel supply industries, our ability to retain our key suppliers and key customers, material disruptions in the availability or supply of crude oil or refined petroleum products, changes in the market price of petroleum, including the volatility of spot pricing, increased levels of competition, compliance or lack of compliance with various environmental and other applicable laws and regulations, our ability to collect accounts receivable, changes in the political, economic or regulatory conditions in the markets in which we operate, and the world in general, our failure to hedge certain financial risks associated with our business, our ability to maintain our current tax treatments and our failure to comply with restrictions in our credit agreements and other factors.  Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.

A copy of the Company's interim unaudited consolidated financial statements along with this press release have been filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K and are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars –
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)



1.   Basis of Presentation and General Information:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. ("Aegean") and its subsidiaries (Aegean and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company") and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition to the accounting policies disclosed therein, the following policy was adopted in the nine months ended September 30, 2009:

Leases: The Company records vessels under capital leases as fixed assets at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease or the fair value of the vessel. Vessels under capital leases are amortized over the estimated remaining useful life of the vessel for capital leases which provide for transfer of title of the vessel, similar to that used for other vessels of the Company.  Assets held under capital leases are presented as "Advances for vessels under construction and acquisitions" in the balance sheet until the vessel is deemed ready for its intend use and the balance is reclassified to "Vessels, cost".  The current portion of capitalized lease obligations are reflected in the balance sheet are presented in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and remaining long-term capitalized lease obligations are presented as "Other non-current liabilities".

Financial Instruments:  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable reported in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts. The fair value of revolving credit facilities is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the revolving credit facilities.  The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans.

2.   Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

In December 2007, new guidance established accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The new guidance also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The above-mentioned guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The new guidance was retrospectively applied to the interim condensed consolidated statement of stockholders equity for the nine-month in period ended September 30, 2008.

In March 2008, new guidance was issued with the intent to provide users of financial statements with enhanced understanding of derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2009 the Company adopted guidance that amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously-issued guidance.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

In June 2008, new guidance clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities, and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. The Company determined that restricted shares granted under its equity incentive plan are participating securities because the restricted shares participate in dividends. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's disclosure of EPS.

2.   Adoption of New Accounting Standards: (Continued)
 
In January 2009 the Company adopted guidance which significantly changed the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions. This guidance was effective for the Company for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date was on or after January 1, 2009. No business combination transactions occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

In April 2009, new guidance was issued for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which amends previous guidance for disclosures about fair value of financial instruments to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  The guidance also require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  The new guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The adoption of the above mentioned guidance in the second quarter of 2009 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, new guidance was issued relating to management's assessment of subsequent events. The new guidance (i) clarifies that management must evaluate, as of each reporting period (i.e. interim and annual), events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date "through the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued", (ii) does not change the recognition and disclosure requirements in AICPA Professional Standards, for Type I and Type II subsequent events; however, the guidance refers to them as recognized (Type I) and non recognized subsequent events (Type II), (iii) requires management to disclose, in addition to other disclosures, the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued and (iv) indicates that management should consider supplementing historical financial statements with the pro forma impact of nonrecognized subsequent events if the event is so significant that disclosure of the event could be best made through the use of pro forma financial data. The new guidance is effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of the above mentioned guidance in the third quarter of 2009 did not have significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which became the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification's content carries the same level of authority, effectively superseding previous guidance. In other words, the GAAP hierarchy was modified to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new guidance in the third quarter of 2009 which did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2.   Adoption of New Accounting Standards: (Continued)
 
In June 2009, new guidance was issued with regards to the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIE"). This guidance responds to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of the FASB Interpretation, including those regarding the transparency of the involvement with VIEs. The new guidance revises the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE to be more qualitative in nature and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate a VIE. Specifically, the new guidance requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a VIE and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In addition, the standard requires additional disclosures about the involvement with a VIE and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. The guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 and early adoption is prohibited. The company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies:

On November 30, 2005, an unrelated third party filed a declaratory action against the Company before the First Instance Court of Piraeus. The plaintiff asserts that he was instrumental in the negotiation of the Company's Fuel Purchase Agreement with a government refinery in Jamaica, and seeks a judicial affirmation of his alleged contractual right to receive a commission of $1 per metric ton sold over the life of that contract, which as per the plaintiff's calculation, amounts to $10,080 over a period of 12 years. In 2007, the Court of First Instance ruled that the claim is maritime-related and not within its jurisdiction. Accordingly, the claim was referred to the Maritime Disputes Division of the Court of First Instance in Piraeus. The case was re-scheduled to be heard on May 13, 2008. The case was duly heard on May 13, 2008, before the Maritime Division of the Multi-Member First Instance Court of Piraeus. Judgment No.5493 was rendered by the Court on December 3, 2008, dismissing plaintiff's lawsuit having found same to be vague and therefore inadmissible for further examination on the merits. Also the Court has condemned the plaintiff to pay Euro 10,000 to AMP in reimbursement of its legal costs. The Judgment is open to appeal by the claimant. On February 26, 2009, the claimant who was seeking a commission under the Company's eight-year Fuel Purchase Agreement with a government refinery in Jamaica commenced a new civil law suit against AMP and Mr. Melisanidis in the Commercial Court of Paris, France, seeking a payment of approximately $180 of alleged commissions and $400 of compensatory damages.  After an initial hearing that was held on March 31, 2009, the court had a hearing in the case on May 5, 2009 and a Decision in the Company's favour was issued by the Paris Court of First Instance on June 9, 2009 dismissing the plaintiff's case. Following the issuance of the latter Decision, the plaintiff commenced summary (emergency) proceedings seeking to receive a provisional payment of Euro 600 the initial hearing of which was scheduled for July 29, 2009 and then adjourned for October 2, 2009. This request was rejected by the Commercial Court of Paris. Additionally the plaintiff filed an appeal against the Decision issued by the Paris Court of First Instance the hearing of which has now been fixed by the Appeal Court to take place on December 8, 2009. The Company believes that this claim is unwarranted and lacking in merit and management believes that the Company will not incur a material loss in connection with this lawsuit.

Common Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital: (Continued)
 
In August 2009, the Company authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") on each outstanding share of its common stock.  The dividend distribution was made to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2009.  The rights will become exercisable and trade separately from the common stock upon the earlier of (i) 10 days following the public announcement or disclosure that a person or group (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership, or obtained the right to acquire, 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock  or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of, or the announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in such a group or person becoming an Acquiring Person.  In such circumstances, each right entitles shareholders to buy one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock at a purchase price of $100.00.  In the event that the rights are triggered, shareholders of record will be able to exercise each right to receive, upon payment of the exercise price, shares of common stock having a market value equal to twice the exercise price.  An Acquiring Person will not be entitled to exercise any rights.  As of September 30, 2009, no such events had occurred, and no rights have been exercised.

Business Segments and Geographical Information:

The Company is primarily a physical supplier in the downstream marine petroleum products industry. Marine petroleum products mainly consist of different classifications of marine fuel oil, marine gas oil and lubricants.

The Company cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial performance measures by type of marine petroleum product supplied, geographical area served, nature of services performed or on anything other than on a consolidated basis (although the Company is able to segregate revenues on these various bases). As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results on a consolidated basis only.

The Company's long-lived assets mainly consist of bunkering tankers which are positioned across the Company's existing territories and which management, including the chief operating decision maker, review on a periodic basis and reposition among the Company's existing or new territories to optimize the vessel per geographical territory ratio.

The Company's vessels operate within or outside the territorial waters of each geographical location and, under international law; shipping vessels usually fall under the jurisdiction of the country of the flag they sail. The Company's vessels are not permanently located within particular territorial waters and the Company is free to mobilize all its vessels worldwide at its own discretion.
