AAON REPORTS RECORD SALES AND EARNINGS

TULSA, OK, November 6, 2014 - AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ-AAON), today announced its operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Sales and earnings for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, were all time records and sales in the third quarter exceeded $100.0 million for the first time in any quarter in the Company's history.

Net sales in the third quarter were $102.9 million, up 14.7% from $89.7 million in 2013. Net income was $12.4 million, up 18.2% from $10.5 million for the same period a year ago. Net sales and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $271.6 million, up 9.6% from $247.8 million in 2013, with net income of $33.6 million, up 12.9% compared to $29.8 million in 2013.

Earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014 were $0.22, up 15.8% from $0.19 for the same period the previous year, based upon 55.5 million shares outstanding at both September 30, 2014 and 2013. Earnings per diluted share were $0.61, up 13.0% from $0.54, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, based upon 55.4 million and 55.6 million diluted shares outstanding, respectively. All per share earnings and shares reflect the three-for-two stock split effective July 16, 2014.

Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated, “The third quarter increase in sales primarily reflects shifts in product mix with more expensive units being sold during the period. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 32.4% compared to 29.7% a year ago. SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased 2.6% (from 10.8% to 13.4%), primarily due to a commitment of $3.0 million to A Gathering Place for Tulsa.”

Mr. Asbjornson added that, "While our commitment to the Gathering Place is expected to be paid over five years, U.S. GAAP rules require AAON to book it all in the third quarter when the commitment was made. Absent this very special, non-recurring item, our earnings for the past quarter would have been $0.03 per share higher. The Gathering Place will transform nearly 100 acres of Tulsa's waterfront along the Arkansas River into a $350.0 million park being financed by the George Kaiser Family Foundation ($200.0 million) and numerous local corporate and community philanthropists. AAON will have its name placed on focal points known as the Swing Hill Valley and Bridge at the park. We feel it is important for AAON to be a part of this transformational project in our headquarters' community. Over 1,300 of our total 1,700 employees live in the Tulsa area and we want them and their families to enjoy and personally identify with the park and its many offerings."

Mr. Asbjornson continued, “The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2014, was very strong, showing a current ratio of 2.7:1 (including cash and short-term investments totaling $42.1 million), plus long-term marketable investments of $12.6 million, and we remained debt-free. In this regard, it should be noted that the Company purchased a total of 530 thousand shares of AAON stock under its resumed buyback program for approximately $9.8 million during the third quarter of this year, for an average of $18.55 per share. Additionally, our backlog increased from $49.9 million at September 30, 2013, to $54.8 million at September 30, 2014."

Mr. Asbjornson then said, "While we are confident of having record sales and profits for 2014, we believe we will experience our normal seasonal softening in the fourth quarter but expect to compare favorably with 2013."

The Company will host a conference call today at 4:15 P.M. Eastern Time to discuss the third quarter results. To participate, call 1-888-241-0551 (code 25661198); or, for rebroadcast, call 1-855-859-2056 (code 25661198).
