AAON News AAON Reports Higher Sales and Earnings

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2005--AAON, Inc. (Nasdaq:AAON) today announced its operating results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2005.

In the quarter, revenues were $48,136,000, up 1.6% from $47,387,000 during the corresponding period in 2004, and net income increased 81.1% to $2,766,000 or $0.22 per share compared to $1,527,000 or $0.12 per share for the same period a year ago.

Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated that the Company's ability to achieve gross margins aligned more closely with historical gross margin levels enabled the Company to increase earnings despite continued, relatively high material costs, a loss by AAON Canada and an increase in SG&A expenses.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2005 were up 6.6%, $136,310,000, compared to $127,249,000 in 2004, and earnings increased by 68.9% to $9,177,000 or $0.72 per share, compared to $5,435,000 or $0.42 per share. All per share earnings are on a diluted basis.

Mr. Asbjornson said that "based on the first nine months' results and other relevant factors, we expect 2005 to produce both higher sales and earnings than 2004."

Certain statements in this news release may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Statements regarding future prospects and developments are based upon current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
