Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. is a publicly traded Delaware corporation organized in 1973, the common shares of which are listed on the NYSE American LLC under the ticker symbol “AE”. Through our subsidiaries, we are primarily engaged in crude oil marketing, transportation, terminalling and storage in various crude oil and natural gas basins in the lower 48 states of the United States (“U.S.”). We also conduct tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals, pressurized gases, asphalt and dry bulk primarily in the lower 48 states of the U.S. with deliveries into Canada and Mexico, and with twenty terminals across the U.S. We also recycle and repurpose off-specification fuels, lubricants, crude oil and other chemicals from producers in the U.S. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Adams” or the “Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. On August 12, 2022, we completed our acquisition of all of the equity interests of Firebird Bulk Carriers, Inc. (“Firebird”) and Phoenix Oil, Inc. (“Phoenix”). The condensed consolidated financial statements prior to August 12, 2022 reflect only the historical results of Adams. The condensed consolidated financial statements since the completion of the Firebird and Phoenix acquisition have included the results of Firebird and Phoenix using the acquisition method of accounting. See Note 6 for further information regarding the acquisition. We operate and report in four business segments: (i) crude oil marketing, transportation and storage; (ii) tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals, pressurized gases, asphalt and dry bulk; (iii) pipeline transportation, terminalling and storage of crude oil; and (iv) beginning in the third quarter of 2022, interstate bulk transportation logistics of crude oil, condensate, fuels, oils and other petroleum products and recycling and repurposing of off-specification fuels, lubricants, crude oil and other chemicals, which includes the businesses we acquired in August 2022 (see Note 6 for further information regarding our business acquisition). See Note 8 for further information regarding our business segments. Basis of Presentation Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year of 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that totals to the amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows at the dates indicated (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 86,510 $ 97,825 Restricted cash: Captive insurance subsidiary (1) 7,404 9,492 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows $ 93,914 $ 107,317 _____________ (1) $1.5 million of the restricted cash balance relates to the initial capitalization of our captive insurance company formed in late 2020, and the remainder represents amounts paid to our captive insurance company for insurance premiums. Common Shares Outstanding The following table reconciles our outstanding common stock for the periods indicated: Common shares Balance, January 1, 2022 4,355,001 Vesting of restricted stock unit awards (see Note 13) 15,966 Shares withheld to cover taxes upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards (3,101) Balance, March 31, 2022 4,367,866 Vesting of restricted stock unit awards (see Note 13) 2,953 Shares withheld to cover taxes upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards (705) Shares sold at the market 8,202 Balance, June 30, 2022 4,378,316 Issuance of shares in acquisition (see Note 6) 15,259 Vesting of restricted stock unit awards (see Note 13) 973 Vesting of performance share unit awards (see Note 13) 289 Balance, September 30, 2022 (1) 4,394,837 _____________ (1) On October 31, 2022, we repurchased 1,942,433 of our common shares. See Note 17 for further information. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing our net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potential common shares outstanding, including shares related to unvested restricted stock unit awards. Unvested restricted stock unit awards granted under the Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“2018 LTIP”), or granted as employment inducement awards outside of the 2018 LTIP, are not considered to be participating securities as the holders of these shares do not have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of our declaration of a dividend for common shares (see Note 13 for further discussion). A reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Earnings per share — numerator: Net earnings $ 2,190 $ 1,546 $ 10,756 $ 9,063 Denominator: Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding 4,387 4,274 4,373 4,258 Basic earnings per share $ 0.50 $ 0.36 $ 2.46 $ 2.13 Diluted earnings per share: Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding: Common shares 4,387 4,274 4,373 4,258 Restricted stock unit awards 20 17 21 16 Performance share unit awards (1) 13 6 12 6 Total diluted shares 4,420 4,297 4,406 4,280 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.50 $ 0.36 $ 2.44 $ 2.12 _______________ (1) The dilutive effect of performance share awards are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when the performance share award performance conditions have been achieved. Equity At-The-Market Offerings During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million (net of offering costs to B. Riley Securities, Inc. of $14 thousand) from the sale of 8,202 of our common shares at an average price per share of approximately $37.38 in at-the-market offerings under our At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc. dated December 23, 2020. No shares were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value based on market quotations from actively traded liquid markets. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized in the financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate these fair values. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). At each balance sheet reporting date, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities using this hierarchy. See Note 6 for a discussion of the Level 3 inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired and the contingent consideration issued in a business combination that occurred in August 2022. Fair value contracts consist of derivative financial instruments and are recorded as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivatives qualify for, and we elect, cash flow hedge accounting. We had no contracts designated for hedge accounting during any current reporting periods (see Note 12 for further information). Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of these items and their respective tax basis. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permitted net operating losses (“NOL”) incurred in tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020 to offset 100 percent of taxable income and be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. We carried back our NOL for fiscal year 2020 to fiscal years 2015 and 2016, and in June 2022, we received a cash refund of approximately $6.8 million. Inventory Inventory consists of crude oil held in storage tanks and at third-party pipelines as part of our crude oil marketing and pipeline and storage operations. Crude oil inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the carrying value of our inventory and make adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value to the applicable net realizable value. Any resulting adjustments are a component of marketing costs and expenses or pipeline and storage expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. No charges were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for additions, improvements and other enhancements to property and equipment are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not extend asset life or add value are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations in operating costs and expenses for the respective period. Property and equipment, except for land, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated average useful lives ranging from two We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there is evidence that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Any impairment recognized is permanent and may not be restored. Property and equipment is reviewed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. For property and equipment requiring impairment, the fair value is estimated based on an internal discounted cash flow model of future cash flows. See Note 5 for additional information regarding our property and equipment. Stock-Based Compensation We measure all share-based payment awards, including the issuance of restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards to employees and board members, using a fair-value based method. The cost of services received from employees and non-employee board members in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. We account for forfeitures as they occur. See Note 13 for additional information regarding our 2018 LTIP.

(4) Revenues from the sale of petroleum products are earned at a point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied. Other Crude Oil Marketing Revenue Certain of the commodity purchase and sale contracts utilized by our crude oil marketing business qualify as derivative instruments with certain specifically identified contracts also designated as trading activity. From the time of contract origination, these contracts are marked-to-market and recorded on a net revenue basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain of our crude oil contracts may be with a single counterparty to provide for similar quantities of crude oil to be bought and sold at different locations. These contracts are entered into for a variety of reasons, including effecting the transportation of the commodity, to minimize credit exposure, and/or to meet the competitive demands of the customer. These buy/sell arrangements are reflected on a net revenue basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Reporting these crude oil contracts on a gross revenue basis would increase our reported revenues as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue gross-up $ 430,244 $ 201,704 $ 1,156,711 $ 526,082

Acquisitions	Sep. 30, 2022
Business Combination, Description [Abstract]
Acquisition	Acquisition On August 12, 2022, we entered into a purchase agreement with each of Scott Bosard, Trey Bosard and Tyler Bosard (collectively, the “Sellers”) to acquire all of the equity interests of Firebird and Phoenix for approximately $39.7 million, consisting of a cash payment of $35.8 million, 45,777 of our common shares valued at $1.4 million, of which 15,259 shares were issued immediately and 30,518 shares will be issued over a three year period, and contingent consideration valued at approximately $2.6 million. We funded the cash consideration using cash on hand at the time of acquisition. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustment provisions, including an earn-out payable to the Sellers to the extent the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of Phoenix exceeds a specified threshold during the twelve full calendar months after the closing date of the acquisition. Firebird is an interstate bulk motor carrier of crude oil, condensate, fuels, oils and other petroleum products. Firebird is headquartered in Humble, Texas, with six terminal locations throughout Texas, and operated 123 tractors and 216 trailers largely in the Eagle Ford basin at the time of the acquisition. Phoenix is also headquartered in Humble, Texas, and recycles and repurposes off-specification fuels, lubricants, crude oil and other chemicals from producers in the U.S. Firebird and Phoenix have formed our new logistics and repurposing segment. We expect that this acquisition will offer us the opportunity to expand our value chain and market impact, with numerous synergies benefiting the combined companies. The following table summarizes the aggregate preliminary consideration paid and issued for Firebird and Phoenix (in thousands): Cash $ 35,793 Value of AE common shares issued 1,364 Contingent consideration arrangement 2,566 Fair value of total consideration transferred $ 39,723 The fair market value of the common shares issued in this transaction was determined based upon the closing share price of AE common stock on August 12, 2022 of $33.75, discounted to present value using the appropriate discount rate. We accounted for the acquisition of Firebird and Phoenix under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The allocation of purchase consideration was based upon the estimated fair value of the tangible and indentifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation to estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date of August 12, 2022 (in thousands): Assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,203 Accounts receivable 4,921 Inventory 643 Other current assets 137 Property and equipment 24,709 Intangible assets 7,734 Goodwill 5,755 Other assets 457 Total assets acquired $ 46,559 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities $ (1,945) Deferred tax liabilities (4,891) Total liabilities assumed $ (6,836) Net assets acquired $ 39,723 The purchase price allocation is subject to revision as acquisition-date fair value analyses are completed and if additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date becomes available. The purchase price consideration, as well as the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, will be finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the closing of the acquisition. The estimated fair value of the acquired property and equipment was determined using a combination of the cost approach and the market approach, specifically determining the replacement cost value of each type of asset. Acquired identifiable intangible assets consists of approximately $5.2 million for customer relationships, $2.2 million for trade names, and $0.3 million for noncompete agreements entered into in connection with the acquisition. The estimated fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets was determined using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, and are being amortized on a modified straight-line basis over a period of ten years, with the amortization more heavily weighted in the earlier years. The income approach estimates the future benefits of the customer relationships and deducts the expenses incurred in servicing the relationships and the contributions from the other business assets to derive the future net benefits of these assets. The future net benefits are discounted back to present value using the appropriate discount rate, which results in the value of the customer relationships. The estimated fair value of the trade names was determined using the relief from royalty method, a form of the income approach, and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years. The estimated fair value of the noncompete agreements was determined using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, and are being amortized over a period of five years. The goodwill of approximately $5.8 million arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to our ability to generate increased revenues, earnings and cash flow by expanding our addressable market and client base and with the assembled workforce that we acquired. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. We recorded net tax liabilities of approximately $4.9 million related to the tax effect of our estimated fair value allocations. The discounted cash flow analysis used to estimate the fair value of the Firebird and Phoenix intangible assets relied on Level 3 fair value inputs. Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset at the measurement date. The valuations were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date, and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by our management. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment required in these determinations. The fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on valuations involving significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The contribution of this newly acquired business to our consolidated revenues and net earnings was $8.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We incurred approximately $0.3 million of acquisition costs in connection with this acquisition, which have been expensed in general and administrative expense as incurred. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations in the table below are provided for illustrative purposes only and summarize the combined results of our operations and those of Firebird and Phoenix. For purposes of this pro forma presentation, the acquisition of Firebird and Phoenix is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2021. The pro forma financial information for all periods presented also includes the estimated business combination accounting effects resulting from this acquisition, notably amortization expense from the acquired intangible assets and certain other integration related impacts. This unaudited pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had actually occurred on January 1, 2021, nor of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future (in thousands).

Credit Agreement	Credit Agreement Credit Agreement On May 4, 2021, we entered into a $40.0 million credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Agent and Issuing Lender, under which we could borrow or issue letters of credit in an aggregate of up to $40.0 million under a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), which was to mature on May 4, 2024, subject to our compliance with certain financial covenants. On August 11, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which increased our borrowing capacity up to $60.0 million. The Credit Agreement Amendment also extended the maturity of the facility to August 11, 2025. The Credit Agreement Amendment also provided for the replacement of LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which remained in place at September 30, 2022, bore interest, at our election, at (i) the Base Rate plus Applicable Margin; or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR plus Applicable Margin. Base Rate is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50 percent and (c) Adjusted TERM SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00 percent. The Applicable Margin to be added to a Base Rate borrowing was 0.75 percent. The Applicable Margin to be added to an Adjusted Term SOFR borrowing was 1.75 percent. A commitment fee of 0.25 percent per annum accrued on the daily average unused amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022, we had $15.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement Amendment and $8.2 million of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement Amendment at a fee of 1.75 percent per annum. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement Amendment.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements Derivative Instruments In the normal course of our operations, our crude oil marketing segment purchases and sells crude oil. We seek to profit by procuring the commodity as it is produced and then delivering the material to the end users or the intermediate use marketplace. As typical for the industry, these transactions are made pursuant to the terms of forward month commodity purchase and/or sale contracts. Some of these contracts meet the definition of a derivative instrument, and therefore, we account for these contracts at fair value, unless the normal purchase and sale exception is applicable. These types of underlying contracts are standard for the industry and are the governing document for our crude oil marketing segment. None of our derivative instruments have been designated as hedging instruments. At September 30, 2022, we had in place ten commodity purchase and sale contracts, all of which had a fair value associated with them as the contractual prices of crude oil were outside of the range of prices specified in the agreements. These commodity purchase and sale contracts encompassed approximately 324 barrels per day of crude oil during October 2022 through December 2022, and also include purchase and sale contracts entered into in August 2022 for an additional 300,000 barrels of crude oil in October 2022. At December 31, 2021, we had in place four commodity purchase and sale contracts, of which two had a fair value associated with them as the contractual prices of crude oil were outside the range of prices specified in the agreements. These commodity purchase and sale contracts encompassed approximately 324 barrels per day of crude oil during January 2022 through December 2022.

We are not subject to any credit-risk related trigger events. We have no other financial investment arrangements that would serve to offset our derivative contracts. Forward month commodity contracts (derivatives) reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands): Gains (losses) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenues – marketing $ (14) $ 6 $ (9) $ 31 Cost and expenses – marketing 1,878 — 1,253 — Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth, by level with the Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Assets Observable Unobservable and Liabilities Inputs Inputs Counterparty (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Offsets Total September 30, 2022 Derivatives: Current assets $ — $ 2,036 $ — $ — $ 2,036 Current liabilities — (129) — — (129) Net value $ — $ 1,907 $ — $ — $ 1,907 December 31, 2021 Derivatives: Current assets $ — $ 347 $ — $ — $ 347 Current liabilities — (324) — — (324) Net value $ — $ 23 $ — $ — $ 23 These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value. Our assessment of the relative significance of these inputs requires judgments. When determining fair value measurements, we make credit valuation adjustments to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and our counterparty’s nonperformance risk. When adjusting the fair value of derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we consider the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements. Credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as credit scores to evaluate the likelihood of default by us or our counterparties. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our fair value contracts. As a result, applicable fair value assets and liabilities are included in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan	Sep. 30, 2022
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plan	Stock-Based Compensation PlanWe have in place a long-term incentive plan in which any employee or non-employee director who provides services to us is eligible to participate. The 2018 LTIP, which is overseen by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, provides for the grant of various types of equity awards, of which restricted stock unit awards and performance-based compensation awards have been granted. In May 2022, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2018 LTIP, in which the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 LTIP was increased by 150,000 shares to a total of 300,000 shares, and the term of the 2018 LTIP was extended through February 23, 2032. After giving effect to awards granted and forfeitures made under the 2018 LTIP and assuming the potential achievement of the maximum amounts of the performance factors through September 30, 2022, a total of 157,697 shares were available for issuance. In August 2022, we also granted 30,518 restricted stock units to two employees of an acquired company, outside of the 2018 LTIP, as equity inducement awards under applicable stock exchange listing rules. Compensation expense recognized in connection with equity-based awards was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Compensation expense $ 254 $ 224 $ 712 $ 641 At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $107,200 and $82,500, respectively, of accrued dividend amounts for awards granted under the 2018 LTIP or under the inducement awards described above. Restricted Stock Unit Awards The following table presents restricted stock unit award activity for the periods indicated: Weighted- Average Grant Number of Date Fair Value Shares per Share (1) Restricted stock unit awards at January 1, 2022 38,265 $ 28.78 Granted under 2018 LTIP (2) 26,796 $ 31.83 Granted as inducement awards (3) 30,518 $ 33.75 Vested (19,892) $ 29.15 Forfeited (3,521) $ 30.33 Restricted stock unit awards at September 30, 2022 72,166 $ 31.84 _______________ (1) Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. (2) The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards issued during the first nine months of 2022 was $0.9 million based on a grant date market price of our common shares ranging from $31.80 to $37.42 per share. (3) These awards were granted in connection with the acquisition of Phoenix and Firebird (see Note 6 for further information). The aggregate grant date fair value of these restricted stock unit awards issued on August 12, 2022 was $1.0 million based on a grant date market price of our common shares of $33.75 per share. Unrecognized compensation cost associated with restricted stock unit awards was approximately $0.6 million at September 30, 2022. Due to the graded vesting provisions of these awards, we expect to recognize the remaining compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. Performance Share Unit Awards The following table presents performance share unit award activity for the periods indicated: Weighted- Average Grant Number of Date Fair Value Shares per Share (1) Performance share unit awards at January 1, 2022 21,492 $ 26.64 Granted (2) 13,458 $ 31.80 Vested (289) $ 28.25 Forfeited (1,297) $ 30.87 Performance share unit awards at September 30, 2022 33,364 $ 28.54 _______________ (1) Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. (2) The aggregate grant date fair value of performance share unit awards issued during the first nine months of 2022 was $0.4 million based on a grant date market price of our common shares of $31.80 per share and assuming a performance factor of 100 percent. Unrecognized compensation cost associated with performance share unit awards was approximately $0.5 million at September 30, 2022. We expect to recognize the remaining compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2022
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Insurance We have accrued liabilities for estimated workers’ compensation and other casualty claims incurred based upon claim reserves plus an estimate for loss development and incurred but not reported claims. We self-insure a significant portion of expected losses relating to workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability, with a self-insured retention of $1.0 million. Insurance is purchased over our retention to reduce our exposure to catastrophic events. Estimates are recorded for potential and incurred outstanding liabilities for workers’ compensation, auto and general liability claims and claims that are incurred but not reported. Estimates are based on adjusters’ estimates, historical experience and statistical methods commonly used within the insurance industry that we believe are reliable. We have also engaged a third-party actuary to perform a review of our accrued liability for these claims as well as potential funded losses in our captive insurance company. Insurance estimates include certain assumptions and management judgments regarding the frequency and severity of claims, claim development and settlement practices and the selection of estimated loss among estimates derived using different methods. Unanticipated changes in these factors may produce materially different amounts of expense that would be reported under these programs. On October 1, 2020, we elected to utilize a wholly owned insurance captive to insure the self-insured retention for our workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability insurance programs. All accrued liabilities associated with periods from October 1, 2017 through current were transferred to the captive. We maintain excess property and casualty programs with third-party insurers in an effort to limit the financial impact of significant events covered under these programs. Our operating subsidiaries pay premiums to both the excess and reinsurance carriers and our captive for the estimated losses based on an external actuarial analysis. These premiums held by our wholly owned captive are currently held in a restricted account, resulting in a transfer of risk from our operating subsidiaries to the captive. We also maintain a self-insurance program for managing employee medical claims in excess of employee deductibles. As claims are paid, the liability is relieved. We also maintain third party insurance stop-loss coverage for individual medical claims exceeding a certain minimum threshold . In addition, we maintain $1.2 million of umbrella insurance coverage for annual aggregate medical claims exceeding approximately $11.5 million. Our accruals for automobile, workers’ compensation and medical claims were as follows at the dates indicated (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Pre-funded premiums for losses incurred but not reported $ 96 $ 50 Accrued automobile and workers’ compensation claims 4,174 4,127 Accrued medical claims 1,718 1,100 Litigation From time to time as incidental to our operations, we may become involved in various lawsuits and/or disputes. As an operator of an extensive trucking fleet, we are a party to motor vehicle accidents, worker compensation claims and other items of general liability as would be typical for the industry. We are presently unaware of any claims against us that are either outside the scope of insurance coverage or that may exceed the level of insurance coverage and could potentially represent a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Event

Subsequent Event	Sep. 30, 2022
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Events New Credit Facility On October 27, 2022, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Cadence Bank, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The New Credit Agreement provides for (a) a revolving credit facility that allows for borrowings up to $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount from time to time (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and (b) a Term Loan in aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The New Credit Agreement replaces our prior $60.0 million credit facility with Wells Fargo entered into May 4, 2021. In connection with our termination of the Credit Agreement Amendment with Wells Fargo, we deposited cash equaling 103.0 percent of the face value of three letters of credit previously issued by Wells Fargo in May 2021. The three letters of credit are fully collateralized, have no associated debt, and no draws against any of the letters of credit are pending. For each borrowing under the New Revolving Credit Facility, we may elect whether such loans bear interest at (i) the Base Rate plus Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; or (ii) Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans. The Base Rate is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent and (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month tenor in effect on the date of determination plus 1.0 percent. The Applicable Margin to be added to a Base Rate borrowing under either (a), (b) or (c) in the preceding sentence is an amount determined quarterly between 1.0 percent and 2.0 percent depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. The Applicable Margin to be added to a Term SOFR borrowing under the New Revolving Credit Facility is an amount determined quarterly between 2.0 percent and 3.0 percent depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. A commitment fee of 0.25 percent per annum accrues on the daily average unused amount of the commitments of the Lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility. We may obtain letters of credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility up to a maximum amount of $30.0 million. The amount of our outstanding letters of credit reduces availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The New Revolving Credit Facility matures on October 27, 2027 unless earlier terminated. The Term Loan amortizes on a 10 year schedule with quarterly payments beginning December 31, 2022, and matures on October 27, 2027 unless earlier accelerated. The Term Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, and must be prepaid with proceeds of any future debt issuance, the proceeds of any equity issuance to the extent proceeds exceed $2.0 million in any quarter with limited exceptions, and the proceeds of certain asset dispositions. The Term Loan bears interest at the SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Rate Loans as described above. Pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to any borrowings (in each case commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022): (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall not be greater than 2.50 to 1.00; (ii) the Asset Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 2.00 to 1.00; and (iii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.25 to 1.00. Each of such ratios is calculated as outlined in the New Credit Agreement and subject to certain exclusions and qualifications described therein. The New Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The affirmative covenants require us to provide the Lenders with certain financial statements, business plans, compliance certificates and other documents and reports and to comply with certain laws. The negative covenants restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on our assets, make certain investments, dispose of our assets or engage in a merger or other similar transaction or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the New Credit Agreement. The negative covenants further restrict our ability to make certain restricted payments. Our obligations under the New Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our personal property and substantially all of the personal property of certain other our direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. is a publicly traded Delaware corporation organized in 1973, the common shares of which are listed on the NYSE American LLC under the ticker symbol “AE”. Through our subsidiaries, we are primarily engaged in crude oil marketing, transportation, terminalling and storage in various crude oil and natural gas basins in the lower 48 states of the United States (“U.S.”). We also conduct tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals, pressurized gases, asphalt and dry bulk primarily in the lower 48 states of the U.S. with deliveries into Canada and Mexico, and with twenty terminals across the U.S. We also recycle and repurpose off-specification fuels, lubricants, crude oil and other chemicals from producers in the U.S. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Adams” or the “Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. On August 12, 2022, we completed our acquisition of all of the equity interests of Firebird Bulk Carriers, Inc. (“Firebird”) and Phoenix Oil, Inc. (“Phoenix”). The condensed consolidated financial statements prior to August 12, 2022 reflect only the historical results of Adams. The condensed consolidated financial statements since the completion of the Firebird and Phoenix acquisition have included the results of Firebird and Phoenix using the acquisition method of accounting. See Note 6 for further information regarding the acquisition.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year of 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of EstimatesThe preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share is computed by dividing our net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potential common shares outstanding, including shares related to unvested restricted stock unit awards. Unvested restricted stock unit awards granted under the Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“2018 LTIP”), or granted as employment inducement awards outside of the 2018 LTIP, are not considered to be participating securities as the holders of these shares do not have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of our declaration of a dividend for common shares (see Note 13 for further discussion).
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value based on market quotations from actively traded liquid markets. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized in the financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate these fair values. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). At each balance sheet reporting date, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities using this hierarchy. See Note 6 for a discussion of the Level 3 inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired and the contingent consideration issued in a business combination that occurred in August 2022.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of these items and their respective tax basis.
Inventory	InventoryInventory consists of crude oil held in storage tanks and at third-party pipelines as part of our crude oil marketing and pipeline and storage operations. Crude oil inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the carrying value of our inventory and make adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value to the applicable net realizable value. Any resulting adjustments are a component of marketing costs and expenses or pipeline and storage expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. No charges were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for additions, improvements and other enhancements to property and equipment are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not extend asset life or add value are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations in operating costs and expenses for the respective period. Property and equipment, except for land, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated average useful lives ranging from two We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there is evidence that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Any impairment recognized is permanent and may not be restored. Property and equipment is reviewed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. For property and equipment requiring impairment, the fair value is estimated based on an internal discounted cash flow model of future cash flows.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based CompensationWe measure all share-based payment awards, including the issuance of restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards to employees and board members, using a fair-value based method. The cost of services received from employees and non-employee board members in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
Other Crude Oil Marketing Revenue	Other Crude Oil Marketing Revenue Certain of the commodity purchase and sale contracts utilized by our crude oil marketing business qualify as derivative instruments with certain specifically identified contracts also designated as trading activity. From the time of contract origination, these contracts are marked-to-market and recorded on a net revenue basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
