TULSA, OK--(Marketwire - August 6, 2010) -  AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAON) today announced its operating results for the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

In the quarter, net sales decreased 6% to $64.5 million from $68.6 million and net income decreased 18% to $5.8 million from $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Earnings per diluted share were $0.34, down 17% from $0.41 for the same period a year ago, based upon 17.0 million and 17.3 million diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to June 30, 2009, respectively. Net sales for the first six months of 2010 decreased 14% to $113.8 million from $132.6 million in 2009, and net income decreased 21% to $10.9 million from $13.8 million. Earnings per diluted share were $0.64, down 20% from $0.80, based upon 17.2 million and 17.3 million diluted shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to June 30, 2009, respectively.

Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated, "The decreases in sales and earnings were attributable to a continuation of poor economic conditions. Even though we expect the second half of 2010 to be challenging, we continue to significantly invest in our equipment and facilities and introduce new products which are enabling AAON to gain market share and position us to benefit from any upturn in the industry."

The Company will host a conference call today at 10:00 A.M. ET to discuss the second quarter results. To participate, call 1-877-737-1669 (Pass code VA16176).
