MELBOURNE, Fla., May 9,
2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goldfield Corporation (NYSE MKT: GV) today
announced improved revenue and operating income for the three
months ended March 31, 2013. The
Goldfield Corporation headquartered in Florida, through its subsidiary, Southeast
Power Corporation, is a leading provider of construction services
to electric utilities, with operations primarily in the
southeastern, mid-Atlantic, and western regions of the United States.
Revenue for the three months ended March
31, 2013 increased 27.0% to $22.5
million from $17.7 million in
the comparable prior year period. This increase was attributable to
higher demand for our electrical construction services, primarily
our transmission work.
Operating income grew 8.0% to $3.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $2.7
million during the same period in 2012.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1.8
million, or $0.07 per share,
compared to net income of $2.7
million, or $0.10 per share,
in the comparable prior year period. Net income in the first
quarter of 2013 included income tax expense of $1.0 million (36.8%), compared to $51,000 (1.9%) in the first quarter of 2012. The
income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was lower as a result of the
Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryovers and tax
credits.
John H. Sottile, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Goldfield said, "With the strong team we
have now assembled at Southeast Power and the robust industry
environment, we believe we are well positioned to expand our
customer base and to take advantage of future opportunities. We are
seeing significant prospects developing from both existing and new
customers, some of which we believe will likely materialize later
in the year," Mr. Sottile added.

document. You can identify these statements by
forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan," and "continue" or
similar words. We have based these statements on our
current expectations about future events. Although we believe that
our expectations reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these
expectations will be achieved. Our actual results may differ
materially from what we currently expect. Factors that may affect
the results of our operations include, among others: the level of

or more significant customers; the timing and duration of
construction projects for which we are engaged; our ability to
estimate accurately with respect to fixed price construction
contracts; and heightened competition in the electrical
construction field, including intensification of price competition.
Other factors that may affect the results of our operations
include, among others: adverse weather; natural disasters; effects
of climate changes; changes in generally accepted accounting
principles; ability to obtain necessary permits from regulatory
agencies; our ability to maintain or increase historical revenue
and profit margins; general economic conditions, both nationally
and in our region; adverse legislation or regulations; availability
of skilled construction labor and materials and material increases
in labor and material costs; and our ability to obtain additional
and/or renew financing. Other important factors which could
cause our actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements in this press release are detailed in
the Company's Risk Factors and Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation sections of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Goldfield's other filings with the

update these forward-looking statements, even in the event that our
situation changes in the future, except as required by law.
