MELBOURNE, Fla., March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goldfield Corporation (NYSE MKT: GV) today announced record results for the year ended December 31, 2012, driven by dramatic growth in its electrical construction business.  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. 

Net income increased in 2012 to $12 million ($0.47 per share) from $874 thousand ($0.03 per share) in 2011. Revenue grew to $81.6 million in 2012 from $32.8 million the prior year. 2012 revenue and net income represented record highs in Goldfield's 106 year history.

Net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $4.2 million ($0.17 per share) compared to $1.6 million ($0.06 per share) for the comparable prior year period. Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased to $25.7 million from $11.4 million in the same period in 2011.

According to John H. Sottile, Goldfield's President and Chief Executive Officer, these results reflect not only markedly increased demand for services by utilities upgrading and expanding their transmission and distribution infrastructure, but also the strengthening of Goldfield's capability in a larger service area. "Our strategy of moving beyond our historic Florida base -- and expanding our operations in Texas, the Carolinas and Virginia -- has paid handsome dividends," Mr. Sottile said. 

"Southeast Power's fine reputation in the industry, together with our growth, has enabled us to attract very experienced and highly regarded new leadership," Mr. Sottile said. As previously announced, John Davis, former Chief Operating Officer of Southeast Power, took over as President of Southeast Power on January 1, 2013.  John E. White, formerly Senior Vice President with one of the country's largest electrical construction companies, is now joining the Southeast Power team, with responsibility for new business development.

"With the strong team we have assembled, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of future opportunities to build on our record growth," Mr. Davis said.  At December 31, 2012, Southeast Power's construction backlog was $40.9 million, compared to $12.2 million at 2011 year-end. The 2012 backlog included $23.8 million relating to a project scheduled for completion this August. "We believe we will meet the challenge of generating new business more than sufficient to offset completion of this project," Mr. Davis added.
