Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 27, 2023, Kirby Corporation (“Kirby” or the "Company") issued a press release announcing results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used in the press release. Kirby defines EBITDA as net earnings attributable to Kirby before interest expense, taxes on income, and depreciation and amortization. Kirby has historically evaluated its operating performance using numerous measures, one of which is EBITDA. EBITDA is presented because of its wide acceptance as a financial indicator. EBITDA is one of the performance measures used in calculating performance compensation pursuant to the Company’s annual incentive plan. EBITDA is also used by rating agencies in determining Kirby’s credit rating and by analysts publishing research reports on Kirby, as well as by investors and investment bankers generally in valuing companies. A quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA to net earnings attributable to Kirby for the 2023 and 2022 second quarters and first six months is included in the press release. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to, but should only be considered in conjunction with, Kirby’s GAAP financial information.
The press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain one-time items, including earnings before taxes on income (excluding one-time items), net earnings attributable to Kirby (excluding one-time items), and diluted earnings per share (excluding one-time items). A reconciliation of these measures with GAAP is included in the press release. Management believes that the exclusion of certain one-time items from these financial measures enables it and investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of Kirby’s normal operating results. The press release additionally includes free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, which Kirby defines as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. A reconciliation of free cash flow with GAAP is included in the press release. Kirby uses free cash flow to assess and forecast cash flow and to provide additional disclosures on the Company’s liquidity. Free cash flow does not imply the amount of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculations based on generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to, but should only be considered in conjunction with Kirby’s GAAP financial information.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KIRBY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 2023 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
HOUSTON, July 27, 2023 – Kirby Corporation (“Kirby”) (NYSE: KEX) today announced net earnings attributable to Kirby for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $57.4 million or $0.95 per share, compared with earnings of $28.5 million, or $0.47 per share for the 2022 second quarter. Consolidated revenues for the 2023 second quarter were $777.2 million compared with $698.0 million reported for the 2022 second quarter.
David Grzebinski, Kirby’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Both of our segments continued to perform well during the quarter and produced higher revenue and operating income sequentially and year-over-year. In marine transportation, pricing on spot and term contracts continued to benefit from strong demand and limited availability of barges. Favorable weather conditions and increased operating efficiency helped improve margins for both inland and coastal. Distribution and services delivered improved margins and business remains stable at a high level. Overall, we had solid results and we generated strong free cash flow which helped support an increase in our share repurchases to $34 million for the quarter.
“In inland marine transportation, our second quarter results reflected continued improvement in pricing together with better weather conditions and operating efficiencies. From a demand standpoint, customer activity was strong in the quarter with barge utilization rates running in the low 90% range. Spot market prices were up in the mid-single digits sequentially and in the mid to high 20% range year-over-year. Term contract prices also renewed up higher with low double digit increases versus a year ago. Overall, second quarter inland revenues increased 11% year-over-year and margins were in the high teens range.
“In coastal, market fundamentals continued to improve with our barge utilization levels running in the mid to high-90% range. During the quarter, we saw solid customer demand and limited availability of large capacity vessels which resulted in high-teens price increases year-over-year on term contract renewals and increases on new spot deals in the high 20% range. As mentioned on our first quarter call, our results this year are being impacted by planned shipyard maintenance on several large vessels. Overall, second quarter coastal revenues decreased slightly year-over-year but operating margins were positive in the low single digits.
“In distribution and services, demand remained steady across our markets with continued new orders combined with high levels of backlog. In manufacturing, revenues were up sequentially and year-over-year driven by healthy demand for our environmentally friendly pressure pumping equipment and power generation equipment for e-frac. In our commercial and industrial market, overall demand remained solid across our different businesses, with growth coming from the marine repair, power generation, and on-highway sectors.” Mr. Grzebinski concluded.

Segment Results – Marine Transportation
Marine transportation revenues for the 2023 second quarter were $427.0 million compared with $405.7 million for the 2022 second quarter. Operating income for the 2023 second quarter was $64.3 million compared with $30.8 million for the 2022 second quarter. Segment operating margin for the 2023 second quarter was 15.0% compared with 7.6% for the 2022 second quarter.
In the inland market, average 2023 second quarter barge utilization was in the low 90% range, roughly flat when compared to the 2022 second quarter. Operating conditions were favorable with limited navigation delays contributing to a 16% decrease in delay days year-on-year. During the quarter, average spot market rates increased in the mid-single digits sequentially and in the mid to-high 20% range compared to the 2022 second quarter. Term contracts that renewed in the second quarter increased in the low double digits on average compared to a year ago. Revenues increased 11% compared to the 2022 second quarter primarily due to increased pricing and volumes. The inland market represented 82% of segment revenues in the second quarter of 2023. Inland’s operating margin was in the high teens for the quarter and benefited from improved navigational conditions and operating efficiencies during the quarter.
In coastal, market conditions continued to improve during the quarter, with barge utilization in the mid to high-90% range. During the quarter, average spot market rates increased in the mid-single digits sequentially and in the high 20% range compared to the 2022 second quarter. Term contracts that renewed in the second quarter increased in the high teens on average compared to a year ago. Despite these improvements, revenues in the coastal market decreased modestly when compared to the 2022 second quarter primarily due to downtime associated with planned shipyard maintenance days. Coastal represented 18% of marine transportation segment revenues during the second quarter. Coastal operating margin was positive in the low single digits as improved pricing was partially offset by lost revenue and costs incurred as a result of planned shipyards.
Segment Results – Distribution and Services
Distribution and services revenues for the 2023 second quarter were $350.3 million compared with $292.3 million for the 2022 second quarter. Operating income for the 2023 second quarter was $29.8 million compared with $16.7 million for the 2022 second quarter. Operating margin was 8.5% for the 2023 second quarter compared with 5.7% for the 2022 second quarter.
In the commercial and industrial market, revenues and operating income increased compared to the 2022 second quarter, primarily due to strong economic activity across the U.S. which resulted in higher business levels in marine repair and on-highway. Increased product sales in Thermo King also contributed favorably to year-on-year growth. Overall, commercial and industrial revenues represented approximately 52% of segment revenues. Commercial and industrial operating margins were in the high single digits.
In the oil and gas market, revenues and operating income improved compared to the 2022 second quarter due to higher oilfield activity which resulted in increased demand for new transmissions and parts in the distribution business. Although manufacturing was heavily impacted by supply chain delays, the business continued to experience increased year-over-year demand with incremental orders and deliveries of new environmentally-friendly pressure pumping equipment and power generation equipment for electric fracturing. Overall, oil and gas represented approximately 48% of segment revenues. Oil and gas operating margins were in the mid to-high single digits.
Cash Generation
For the 2023 second quarter, EBITDA was $140.3 million compared with $100.2 million for the 2022 second quarter. During the quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was $211.4 million, and capital expenditures were $98.0 million. During the quarter, the Company had net proceeds from asset sales totaling $12.5 million. Kirby also used $34.4 million to repurchase stock at an average price of $72.49. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $36.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and $515.9 million of liquidity available. Total debt was $998.4 million and the debt-to-capitalization ratio improved to 24.3%.
2023 Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2023, Mr. Grzebinski said, “We exited the quarter with continued strength in our businesses. Pricing in the marine market continues to improve and demand is strong. In distribution
2
and services, despite persistent supply chain constraints and delays, demand for our products and services continues to grow, and we continue to receive new orders in manufacturing. Overall, we expect our businesses to deliver improved financial results in the coming quarters. While all of this is encouraging, we are mindful of challenges related to a slowing global economy and additional economic headwinds due to higher interest rates. Also, labor constraints and inflationary pressures continue contributing to rising costs across our businesses, although some of this is starting to moderate. Even with these uncertainties, we remain very positive and expect to drive strong cash flow from operations.”
In inland marine, we anticipate continued gradual upward movement in pricing and margins in the second half of 2023 as steady demand and a limited availability of equipment is expected to keep the market tight. As a result, the Company expects further pricing improvements in the spot market, which currently represents approximately 45% of inland revenues. Term contracts are also expected to continue to reset higher to reflect improved market conditions and offset inflation. Overall, inland revenues are expected to grow by low double digits on a full year basis. Barring unexpected high cost inflation and rising fuel costs, the Company expects operating margins to continue improving as the year progresses and average in the high teens for the full year.
In coastal marine, revenues and operating margins are being impacted this year by an approximate doubling of planned shipyard maintenance days with ballast water treatment installations on certain vessels. Kirby expects modestly improved customer demand through the balance of the year with barge utilization in the low to mid-90% range. Rates are expected to continue gradually improving as the industry is getting very close to supply and demand balance across the fleet. For the full year, coastal revenues are expected to be flat compared to 2022. Coastal operating margins are expected to be near break-even to low single digits on a full year basis.
In distribution and services, favorable oilfield fundamentals and steady demand in commercial and industrial are expected to continue throughout 2023 and into 2024. In the oil and gas market, despite the near-term headwinds of lower commodity prices and flat to declining rig counts, we expect strong demand for manufacturing as well as for OEM products, parts, and services. Within manufacturing, the Company expects demand for environmentally friendly pressure pumping and e-frac power generation equipment to remain strong, with new orders and increased deliveries of new equipment during the year. Supply chain issues and long lead times are expected to persist in the near-term, contributing to some volatility as deliveries of new products shift between quarters and into 2024. In commercial and industrial, steady markets are expected to help drive full year revenue growth in the low double-digit percentage range, with increased activity in power generation, marine repair, and on-highway. Overall, the Company expects segment revenues to grow 10% to 20% on a full year basis with operating margins in the mid to high-single digits.
Kirby expects to generate net cash provided from operating activities of $500 million to $580 million in 2023. 2023 capital spending is expected to range between $300 to $380 million. Approximately $240 million is associated with marine maintenance capital and improvements to existing inland and coastal marine equipment, including ballast water treatment systems on some coastal vessels, and facility improvements. Up to approximately $140 million is associated with growth capital spending in both our businesses.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial and other information to be discussed in the conference call is available in this press release and in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This press release and the Form 8-K includes a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA, which Kirby defines as net earnings attributable to Kirby before interest expense, taxes on income, and depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of EBITDA with GAAP net earnings attributable to Kirby is included in this press release. This press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain one-time items, including earnings before taxes on income (excluding one-time items), net earnings
3
attributable to Kirby (excluding one-time items), and diluted earnings per share (excluding one-time items). A reconciliation of these measures with GAAP is included in this press release. Management believes the exclusion of certain one-time items from these financial measures enables it and investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of Kirby’s normal operating results. This press release additionally includes a non-GAAP financial measure, free cash flow, which Kirby defines as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. A reconciliation of free cash flow with GAAP is included in this press release. Kirby uses free cash flow to assess and forecast cash flow and to provide additional disclosures on the Company’s liquidity. Free cash flow does not imply the amount of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. This press release also includes marine transportation performance measures, consisting of ton miles, revenue per ton mile, towboats operated and delay days. Comparable marine transportation performance measures for the 2022 year and quarters are available in the Investor Relations section of Kirby’s website, www.kirbycorp.com, under Financials.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release with respect to the future are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s reasonable judgment with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors, including adverse economic conditions, industry competition and other competitive factors, adverse weather conditions such as high water, low water, tropical storms, hurricanes, tsunamis, fog and ice, tornados, COVID-19 or other pandemics, marine accidents, lock delays, fuel costs, interest rates, construction of new equipment by competitors, government and environmental laws and regulations, and the timing, magnitude and number of acquisitions made by the Company. Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and Kirby assumes no obligation to update any such statements. A list of additional risk factors can be found in Kirby’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
