Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 30, 2026, Kirby Corporation (“Kirby” or the "Company") issued a press release announcing results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. 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 2026 and 2025 first quarters 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.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As described below in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on April 27, 2026, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders approved amendments to the 2005 Stock and Incentive Plan. On January 27, 2026, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, Kirby’s Board of Directors approved the amendments to the 2005 Stock and Incentive Plan (as so amended and restated, the “2005 Plan”).
Summary of Amendments:
•
Extend the term of the 2005 Plan from April 27, 2027 to April 27, 2036;
•
Increase the maximum amount of cash that may be payable pursuant to performance awards granted to a participant in a single calendar year from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000;
•
Provide for forfeiture or recovery of awards granted on or after January 27, 2026 if a) a participant is terminated for cause; or b) in the period up to a year after termination, the Company discovers facts that would have constituted cause for termination or the participant violates a restrictive covenant or obligations of noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality, or nondisparagement; and
•
Make certain other clarifying and administrative changes.
Summary of Key Terms of 2005 Plan:
•
Term: No awards shall be made under the 2005 Plan after April 27, 2036. The Board may suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2005 Plan at any time.
•
Types of Awards: The 2005 Plan provides for the granting of incentive options, nonincentive options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance-based compensation payable in stock, cash, or a combination of stock and cash.
•
Eligibility: Employees of the Company, including its named executive officers and other officers, are eligible to participate in the 2005 Plan. At December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 5,200 employees, and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines recipients of awards under the 2005 Plan. The amounts of future awards that may be made to officers, including its named executive officers, of the Company under the 2005 Plan are not determinable at this time, since any such awards are made in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Nonemployee directors are not eligible for awards under the 2005 Plan.
•
Shares Reserved for Issuance: A total of 6,400,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the 2005 Plan. As of March 2, 2026, 1,654,184 shares of common stock were available for future awards under the 2005 Plan. Shares equal in number to the shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of a stock option and shares that are withheld in order to satisfy federal, state or local tax liability, will count against the above limit and shall cease to be available for grants under the 2005 Plan.
A description of the material terms of the 2005 Plan and the amendments thereto are set forth in Proposal 4 contained in Kirby’s Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 6, 2026. The above description of certain terms of the 2005 Plan and the amendments thereto are qualified in all respects by the full text of the 2005 Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE II
STOCK OPTIONS
Section 2.1. Grant of Options. The Committee may from time to time grant Options to Eligible Persons. Options may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonincentive Stock Options as designated by the Committee on or before the Date of Grant. If no such designation is made by the Committee for an Option, the Option shall be a Nonincentive Stock Option. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of Grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and all such plans of the Company and any parent or Subsidiary of the Company (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000.
Section 2.2. Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share for any Option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant and shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant for any Incentive Stock Option if the Optionee is a person who owns directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company.
Section 2.3. Term of Option. The term of an Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, if the grant is to a person who owns directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the term of the Option shall not exceed five years from the Date of Grant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no Option shall be exercised after the expiration of its term.
Section 2.4. Vesting. Options shall become exercisable (or “vest”) as provided in Section 2.6, if applicable, or otherwise at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall specify. The Committee shall have discretion at any time to accelerate such times and otherwise waive or amend any conditions in respect of all or any portion of any Options. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.4 and unless otherwise provided in the Option Award, in the event that an
Optionee’s employment is terminated without Cause by the Company, a Subsidiary or successor entity, or is terminated by the Optionee for Good Reason, in either case in connection with or within 18 months after a Change in Control, all Options held by the Optionee immediately prior to such termination shall become immediately exercisable.
Section 2.5. Termination of Options.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Option Award, the portion of an Option that is exercisable shall automatically and without notice terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) thirty (30) days after the date on which the Optionee ceases to be an employee for any reason other than (x) death, (y) Disability or (z) termination for Cause;
(ii) one (1) year after the date on which the Optionee ceases to be an employee as a result of a Disability;
(iii) either (y) one (1) year after the death of the Optionee or (z) six (6) months after the death of the Optionee if the Optionee dies during the 30-day period described in Section 2.5(a)(i) or the one-year period described in Section 2.5(a)(ii);
(iv) the date on which the Optionee ceases to be an employee as a result of a termination for Cause; and
(v) the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant of the Option.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2.4 or Section 2.6, the portion of an Option that is not exercisable shall automatically and without notice terminate on the date on which the Optionee ceases to be an employee for any reason.
(c) The Committee shall have discretion at any time to extend the term of any Nonincentive Stock Option to any date that is not later than the date described in Section 2.5(a)(v).
Section 2.6. Retirement Credits. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Award, if an Optionee retires as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary with 80 or more Retirement Credits, unvested Options held by the Optionee that were granted after February 19, 2018 shall continue to vest after retirement on the schedule specified in the Option Award and all vested but unexercised Options held by the Optionee and all Options that vest after retirement pursuant to this Section 2.6 will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term specified in the Option Award or (b) the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided that, if the Optionee takes any action or engages in any activity that is detrimental to the Company, all vested but unexercised Options and all unvested Options held by the Optionee will automatically terminate and the Optionee shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Options. The number of Retirement Credits the Optionee has shall equal the sum of (i) the Optionee’s age in whole years plus (ii) the Optionee’s whole years of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, in both cases determined as of the date of retirement. In the event of the death of the Optionee after retirement, any unvested portion of an Option that is subject to vesting pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall continue to vest on the schedule specified in the Option Award and will terminate upon the earlier of (x) the expiration of the term specified in the Option Award or (y) the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.
Section 2.7. Exercise of Options. An Option may be exercised in whole or in part to the extent exercisable in accordance with the Plan. An Option shall be deemed exercised when (i) the Company has received written notice of such exercise signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option and, if the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than the Optionee, accompanied by proof, satisfactory to the Company, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option and (ii) full payment of the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made. Unless further limited by the Committee for any Option, the exercise price of any Shares purchased shall be paid solely in cash, by certified or cashier’s check, by money order, by personal check, by withholding Shares from an Award or with Shares owned by the Optionee for at least six months, or by a combination of the foregoing. If the exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, the value of the Shares withheld shall be their Fair Market Value on the date received by the Company. An Optionee may elect to have Shares withheld to satisfy federal or state income tax withholding requirements applicable upon the exercise of an Option.
Section 2.8. Restrictions on Exercise.
(i) An Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or valid regulation. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to make any agreements and undertakings that may be required by any applicable law or regulation.
(ii) Shares issued upon the exercise of an Option without registration of such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), shall be restricted securities subject to the terms of Rule 144 under the Act. The certificates representing any such Shares shall bear an appropriate legend restricting transfer and the transfer agent of the Company shall be given stop transfer instructions with respect to such Shares.
Section 2.9. Nontransferability of Option. An Option may not be transferred by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and so long as the Optionee lives, only the Optionee or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative shall have the right to exercise the Option. The terms of an Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
Section 2.10. Corporate Transactions.
(a) In the event of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the Board or the Committee may provide for payment in cash or in securities of the Company or the surviving entity in lieu of and in complete satisfaction of Options.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or exercise price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
Section 2.11. Option Repricing. Except as provided in Section 6.3, the Committee shall not modify an outstanding Option so as to specify a lower exercise price (and will not cancel an Option and substitute for it an Option with a lower exercise price), without the approval of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, except as provided in Section 6.3, the Committee may not cancel an outstanding Option whose exercise price is equal to or greater than the current Fair Market Value of a Share in exchange for cash or substitute for it another Award without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.
Section 2.12. Issuance of Shares. No person shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the Shares subject to any Option (including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends and distributions on Shares subject to any Option) unless and until such Shares (whether represented by certificates or in book-entry or other electronic form) shall have been issued and delivered to such person.

Each Restricted Stock Award shall specify the number of shares of Restricted Stock awarded, the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant receiving the Restricted Stock Award, the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock will vest and any other terms and conditions that the Committee may determine. The vesting and number of shares of Restricted Stock may be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of service with the Company or its Subsidiaries or upon the attainment of any performance goals established by the Committee, including without limitation goals related to the performance of the Company or any Subsidiary, division, department or other unit of the Company, the performance of the Company’s common stock or other securities, the performance of the recipient of the Restricted Stock Award or any combination of the foregoing. A Participant may elect to have Shares withheld from a Restricted Stock Award to satisfy federal or state income tax withholding requirements applicable upon the vesting of Restricted Stock.
Section 3.3. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise provided in the grant relating to a Restricted Stock Award, the Restricted Stock granted to a Participant (whether represented by certificates or in book-entry or other electronic form) shall be registered in the Participant’s name or, at the option of the Committee, not issued until such time as the Restricted Stock shall become vested or as otherwise determined by the Committee. If certificates are issued prior to the shares of Restricted Stock becoming vested, such certificates shall either be held by the Company on behalf of the Participant, or delivered to the Participant bearing a legend to restrict transfer of the certificate until the Restricted Stock has vested, as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine whether the Participant shall have the right to vote and/or receive dividends on the Restricted Stock before it has vested. Except as may otherwise be expressly permitted by the Committee, no share of Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Participant until such share has vested in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Stock Award. Except as provided in Section 3.4 or unless the Restricted Stock Award specifies otherwise, in the event that a Participant ceases to be an employee before all the Participant’s Restricted Stock has vested, or in the event other conditions to the vesting of Restricted Stock have not been satisfied prior to any deadline for the satisfaction of such conditions set forth in the Award, the shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall be forfeited and any purchase price paid by the Participant for the forfeited Shares shall be returned to the Participant. At the time Restricted Stock vests (and, if the Participant has been issued legended certificates for Restricted Stock, upon the return of such certificates to the Company), such vested shares shall be issued to the Participant (or the beneficiary designated by the Participant in the event of death), in certificated or book entry or other electronic form, free of all restrictions.
Section 3.4. Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the vesting conditions set forth in a Restricted Stock Award, unless the Restricted Stock Award specifies otherwise:
(a) the Committee may in its discretion at any time accelerate the vesting of Restricted Stock or otherwise waive or amend
any conditions of a grant of a Restricted Stock Award, and
(b) in the event that a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause by the Company, a Subsidiary or successor, or is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case in connection with or within 18 months after a Change in Control, all shares of Restricted Stock held by the Participant immediately prior to such termination shall immediately become vested.
Section 3.5. Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant receives Restricted Stock that is subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture,” such Participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in his or her gross income, for the taxable year in which the Restricted Stock is received, the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Stock on the Date of Grant (determined without regard to any restriction other than one which by its terms will never lapse), over the amount paid for the Restricted Stock. If the Participant makes the Section 83(b) election, the Participant shall (a) make such election in a manner that is satisfactory to the Committee, (b) provide the Company with a copy of such election, (c) agree to notify the Company promptly if any Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit or otherwise, questions the validity or correctness of such election or of the amount of income reportable on account of such election and (d) agree to such federal and state income tax withholding as the Committee may reasonably require in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE IV
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Section 4.1. Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant Restricted Stock Unit Awards to Eligible Persons.
Section 4.2. Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit represents the Company’s unsecured and unfunded promise to deliver Shares (or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares) to a Participant in the future, subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions and the other terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award.
Section 4.3. Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall specify the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded, the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant receiving the Restricted Stock Unit Award, the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units will vest and any other terms and conditions that the Committee may determine. The vesting and number of Restricted Stock Units may be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of service with the Company or its Subsidiaries or upon the attainment of any performance goals established by the Committee, including without limitation goals related to the performance of the Company or any Subsidiary, division, department or other unit of the Company, the performance of the Company’s common stock or other securities, the performance of the recipient of the Restricted Stock Unit Award or any combination of the foregoing. Except as provided in Section 4.6 or Section 4.7 or unless the Award specifies otherwise, in the event that a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary before all the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units have vested, or in the event other conditions to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units have not been satisfied prior to any deadline for the satisfaction of such conditions set forth in the Award, the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall be forfeited and any purchase price paid by the Participant for the forfeited Restricted Stock Units shall be refunded to the Participant.
Section 4.4. Rights as Stockholder. A recipient of a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award until the date, if any, such Shares are issued by the Company; and, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5, no adjustment for dividends, or otherwise, shall be made if the record date therefor is prior to the date of issuance of such Shares.
Section 4.5. Dividends. Dividends and distributions (whether cash, stock or otherwise) on Shares underlying unvested Restricted Stock Units held by a Participant shall not be paid to the Participant, but the value thereof shall be credited by the Company for the benefit of the Participant. At such time as such Restricted Stock Units are settled, all accumulated credits for the value of dividends and distributions attributable to such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid to the recipient. Interest shall not be paid on any such credits for dividends or distributions made by the Company for the benefit of a Participant. The Company shall have the option of paying such credits for accumulated dividends or distributions in Shares or cash. If payment is made in Shares, the conversion to Shares shall be at the Fair Market Value on the date of payment. Credits for the value of dividends and distributions made by the Company on unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the respective Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable are forfeited.
Section 4.6. Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the vesting conditions set forth in a Restricted Stock Unit Award, unless the Restricted Stock Unit Award specifies otherwise:
(a) the Committee may in its discretion at any time accelerate the vesting of Restricted Stock Units or otherwise waive or amend any conditions of a grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, and
(b) in the event that a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause by the Company, a Subsidiary or successor, or is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case in connection with or within 18 months after a Change in Control, all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant immediately prior to such termination shall immediately become vested and payable.
Section 4.7. Retirement Credits. Unless otherwise provided in a Restricted Stock Unit Award, if a Participant retires as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary with 80 or more Retirement Credits, the Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant will continue to vest after retirement on the schedule specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Award; provided that, if the Participant takes any
action or engages in any activity that is detrimental to the Company, all unvested Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant will automatically be forfeited and the Participant shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. The number of Retirement Credits a Participant has shall equal the sum of (i) the Participant’s age in whole years plus (ii) the Participant’s whole years of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, in both cases determined as of the date of retirement. In the event of the death of the Participant after retirement, any unvested Restricted Stock Units that are subject to vesting pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall continue to vest on the schedule specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Award.
Section 4.8. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Subject to the satisfaction of any withholding requirements, on the date on which a Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to one Share or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share, which shall be delivered, transferred or paid as soon as administratively practicable thereafter in exchange for such vested Restricted Stock Unit, after which the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit.
(b) The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether any settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit will be effected in cash or Shares. If the settlement is effected in Shares, the Company shall cause to be delivered or transferred to the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative or heir) a stock certificate representing the Shares issued in exchange for Restricted Stock Units or shall cause the Shares to be registered on the stock transfer records of the Company in the Participant’s name. For any Restricted Stock Units settled in Shares, a Participant may elect to have Shares withheld to satisfy federal or state income tax withholding requirements applicable upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.
(c) (i) Except as provided in Section 4.8(c)(ii) and (iii), in no event shall any delivery of Shares or payment following a Participant’s entitlement to such delivery or payment be made later than the March 15th following the end of the calendar year in which the Participant becomes entitled to such delivery or payment.
(i) Subject to Section 4.8(c)(iii), with respect to Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant who could reach 80 Retirement Credits prior to the final vesting date for such Restricted Stock Units, in no event shall any delivery of Shares or payment following such Participant’s entitlement to such delivery or payment be made later than December 31 of the year in which the vesting date for such Restricted Stock Units occurs.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, if the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), and the Company determines that a payment hereunder is not permitted under Section 409A of the Code at the time set forth herein, no payments shall be made to the Participant due to a separation from service for any reason before the date that is six months after the date on which the Participant incurs a separation from service or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant.
ARTICLE V
PERFORMANCE AWARDS
Section 5.1. Terms and Conditions of Performance Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards that are intended to be “performance-based compensation,” which are payable in stock, cash or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Committee.
(a) Performance Period. The Committee shall establish a Performance Period for each Performance Award at the time such Performance Award is granted. A Performance Period may overlap with Performance Periods relating to other Performance Awards granted hereunder to the same Participant. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the Committee shall not grant Performance Awards after the date on which the satisfaction of the Performance Objectives becomes substantially certain.
(b) Performance Objectives. The Committee shall establish written performance objectives for the Participant at the time of the grant of each Performance Award. Each Performance Award shall be contingent upon the achievement of the Performance Objectives established by the Committee. Performance Objectives shall be based on earnings, cash flow, economic value added, total stockholder return, return on equity, return on capital, return on assets, revenues, operating profit, EBITDA, net profit, earnings per share, stock price, cost reduction goals, debt to capital ratio, financial return ratios, profit or operating margins, working capital or any combination of the foregoing, for the Company on a consolidated basis or, if applicable, for one or more Subsidiaries, divisions, departments or other units of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries.
(c) Amount; Frequency. The Committee shall determine at the time of grant of Performance Awards the target and maximum values of Performance Awards and the date or dates when Performance Awards are earned.
(d) Payment. Following the end of each Performance Period, the holder of each Performance Award will be entitled to receive payment of an amount, not exceeding the maximum value of the Performance Award, based on the achievement of the Performance Objectives for such Performance Period, as determined in writing by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided in the Performance Award, if the Participant exceeds the specified minimum level of acceptable achievement but does not attain the Performance Objectives, the Participant shall be deemed to have partly earned the Performance Award, and shall become entitled to receive a portion of the total award, as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided in the Performance Award, if a Performance Award is granted after the start of a Performance Period, the Performance Award shall be reduced to reflect the portion of the Performance Period during which the Performance Award was in effect.
(e) Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided in the Performance Award, a Participant who receives a Performance Award and who ceases to be an employee as a result of death, Disability or retirement before the end of the applicable Performance Period shall be entitled to receive, to the extent earned as a result of the full or partial achievement of the Performance Objectives during the Performance Period, a portion of the Performance Award that is proportional to the portion of the Performance Period during which the Participant was employed, with payment to be made following the end of the Performance Period. Unless otherwise provided in the Performance Award, a Participant who receives a Performance Award who ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death, Disability or retirement shall not be entitled to any part of the Performance Award.
(f) Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the vesting conditions set forth in a Performance Award, unless the Performance Award specifies otherwise (i) the Committee may in its discretion at any time accelerate the time at which the Performance Award is considered to have been earned or otherwise waive or amend any conditions (including but not limited to Performance Objectives) in respect of a Performance Award, and (ii) all Performance Awards shall be considered earned upon a Change in Control of the Company. In addition, upon a Change in Control of the Company, unless a Performance Award specifies otherwise, each Participant shall receive the target Performance Award such Participant could have earned for the proportionate part of the Performance Period prior to the Change in Control, and shall retain the right to earn any additional portion of his or her Performance Award if such Participant remains in the Company’s employ through the end of the Performance Period.
(g) Stockholder Rights. The holder of a Performance Award shall, as such, have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
(h) Annual Incentive Plan. Cash awards based on the attainment of the performance objectives established under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan may, in the Committee’s discretion, be considered Performance Awards granted under the Plan, provided that such awards are subject to the terms and conditions of this Article V.
ARTICLE VI
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
Section 6.1. Administration of the Plan.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan, to adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem advisable, to decide conclusively all questions arising with respect to the Plan, to establish performance criteria in respect of Awards under the Plan, to determine whether Plan requirements have been met for any Participant in the Plan and to make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions and acts of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all affected Participants. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate authority to administer the Plan to members of the Committee, one or more subcommittees or other committees of the Board. If there is no Committee, the Board shall administer the Plan and in such case all references to the Committee shall be deemed to be references to the Board.
(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1(a), for purposes of Section 2.6 and Section 4.7:
(i) The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether an action or activity is detrimental to the Company. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, actions or activities detrimental to the Company may include (A) a material breach of any contract between the holder of an Award and the Company or a Subsidiary, (B) any direct or indirect competition with the Company or a Subsidiary or solicitation of employees of the Company or a Subsidiary or (C) performance or acceptance by the holder of an Award of duties to a third party under circumstances that create a material conflict of interest or the appearance of a material conflict of interest, which may include being employed or otherwise engaged by an entity that regulates, engages in transactions with or competes with the Company or a Subsidiary.
(ii) The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether a termination of employment constitutes “retirement” for purposes of vesting of any Options or Restricted Stock Units.
(iii) The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether prior employment by an acquired company or prior noncontinuous employment by the Company or a Subsidiary shall be counted in calculating the Retirement Credits of the holder of an Award.
Section 6.2. Minimum Vesting Requirements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Shares granted under a Performance Award on or after the Effective Date may vest, in whole or in part, prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant of the relevant Award, and the Committee may not accelerate vesting of such Award such that it would vest prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby in connection with the death or Disability of a Participant or a Change in Control.
Section 6.3. Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any (a) stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges of shares, mergers, consolidations, liquidations, split-ups, split-offs, spin-offs or other similar changes in capitalization, (b) distributions to stockholders, including a rights offering, other than regular cash dividends, (c) changes in the outstanding stock of the Company by reason of any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a split-up or consolidation of Shares or any similar capital adjustment or the payment of any stock dividend, (d) Share repurchase at a price in excess of the market price of the Shares at the time such repurchase is announced or (e) other similar increase or decrease in the
number of the Shares, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall make appropriate adjustment in the number and kind of shares authorized by the Plan in the number, price or kind of shares or units covered by the Awards and in any outstanding Awards under the Plan. In addition, upon the occurrence of any event described in this Section 6.3, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall make appropriate adjustment in the limits specified in Section 1.3(b), (c) and (d) so that the effect of such limits is, as nearly as practicable, equivalent to the effect of such limits prior to the event in question, provided that any such adjustment complies with applicable laws and does not cause an award that is intended to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code in effect prior to December 22, 2017 to fail to satisfy the exception. In the event of any adjustment in the number of Shares covered by any Award, any fractional Shares resulting from such adjustment shall be disregarded and each such Award shall cover only the number of full Shares resulting from such adjustment.
Section 6.4. Compliance With Section 409A. Awards shall be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and each Award under the Plan are intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award shall be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral shall not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A. In addition, to the extent an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, payments under such an Award shall be made at such time as is specified in the Plan and the Award. The payment will be made (1) by a date that is no later than the date that is two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the end of the fiscal year in which the Award payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or (2) at a time that is permissible under Section 409A of the Code such that the payment shall not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code.
Section 6.5. Amendment.
(a) The Board may amend or modify the Plan in any respect at any time, subject to stockholder approval if required by applicable law or regulation or by applicable stock exchange rules. Such action shall not impair any of the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award outstanding on the date of the amendment or modification without the Participant’s written consent.
(b) The Committee shall have the authority to amend any Award to include any provision which, at the time of such amendment, is authorized under the terms of the Plan; however, no outstanding Award may be revoked or altered in a manner unfavorable to the Participant without the written consent of the Participant.
Section 6.6. Transferability of Awards. An Award shall not be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. So long as a Participant lives, only such Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative shall have the right to exercise such Award.
Section 6.7. Beneficiary. A Participant may file with the Company a written designation of beneficiary, on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee, to receive any Shares, Awards or payments that become deliverable to the Participant pursuant to the Plan after the Participant’s death. A Participant may, from time to time, amend or revoke a designation of beneficiary. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary.
Section 6.8. Non-uniform Determinations. Determinations by the Committee under the Plan (including, without limitation, determinations of the Eligible Persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of Awards, the terms and provisions of Awards and any agreements evidencing Awards and provisions with respect to termination of employment) need not be uniform and may be made by the Committee selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.
Section 6.9. Duration and Termination. No awards shall be made under the Plan after April 27, 2036. The Board may suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time. The suspension, discontinuance or termination of the Plan shall not impair any of the rights of any holder of any Award outstanding on the date of the Plan’s suspension, discontinuance or termination without the holder’s written consent.
Section 6.10. Withholding. Prior to the issuance of any Shares under the Plan, arrangements satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion shall have been made for the Participant’s payment to the Company of the amount, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary for the Company or Subsidiary employing the Participant to withhold in accordance with applicable federal or state income tax withholding requirements. If Shares are withheld from an Award to satisfy withholding requirements, the Fair Market Value of the Shares withheld shall not exceed an amount determined based on the maximum statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions. When payments under the Plan are made in cash, such payments shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements.
Section 6.11. Agreements and Undertakings. As a condition of any issuance or transfer of Shares, the Committee may obtain such agreements or undertakings, if any, as it may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any provision of the Plan, any agreement or any law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) a representation, warranty or agreement by the Participant to the Company that the Participant is acquiring the Shares for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and
(b) a representation, warranty or agreement to be bound by any restrictions that are, in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed by the Committee to be applicable to the issuance of the Shares.
Section 6.12. Uncertificated Shares. In lieu of issuing stock certificates for Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, the Company may issue such Shares in book-entry or other electronic or uncertificated form, unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation or by applicable stock exchange rules.
Section 6.13. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas except to the extent that federal law or Nevada corporate law is controlling.
Section 6.14. Forfeiture/Recovery for Cause or Restrictive Covenant Violation.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, if a Participant is terminated for Cause (or if the Participant resigns or otherwise ceases to be employed or provide services at a time when grounds for termination for Cause exists), then, effective as of the date of such termination (or deemed termination), all of the Participant’s outstanding Awards granted on or after the Effective Date, whether vested or unvested and whether or not exercisable, may be forfeited and cancelled without consideration, effective as of the date of termination or other date as the Committee may determine, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.
(b) If, after (but no more than one year following) a Participant’s termination of employment or service for any reason, (i) the Company discovers facts or circumstances that, in the determination of the Committee, would have constituted Cause had they been known prior to the Participant’s termination of employment or service, or (ii) the Participant commits a Restrictive Covenant Violation, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel, rescind, or require forfeiture or repayment of any outstanding Awards granted on or after the Effective Date, and any Shares, cash, or other property received by the Participant pursuant to any such Award, whether such Award was vested, exercised, settled, or paid before or after the Participant’s termination of employment or service.
(c) The forfeiture, cancellation, rescission, and repayment rights described in this Section 6.14 shall survive a Participant’s termination of employment or service and the expiration, exercise, or settlement of any Award, and shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision in any Award, except to the extent expressly prohibited by applicable law.
(d) The remedies provided in this Section 6.14 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to the Company or its affiliates under applicable law, contract, equity, or any recovery, recoupment, or clawback policy maintained by the Company from time to time.
Section 6.15. Other Clawback/Recovery Rights. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company’s clawback policy. In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions on an Award as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate in view of applicable laws, governance requirements or best practices, including, but not limited to, a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of cause (as determined by the Committee).
Section 6.16. Effective Date. The Plan amends and restates the Existing Plan in its entirety, effective January 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company;
(iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

Section 2.11. Issuance of Shares.

As a condition of any transfer of Shares, the Committee may obtain such agreements or undertakings, if any, as it may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any provision of the Plan, any agreement or any law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) a representation, warranty or agreement by the Optionee to the Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that the Optionee is acquiring the Shares for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and
(b) a representation, warranty or agreement to be bound by any restrictions that are, in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed by the Committee to be applicable to the issuance of the Shares.
Section 2.12. Option Repricing. Except as provided in Section 4.2, the Committee shall not modify an outstanding Option so as to specify a lower exercise price (and will not cancel an Option and substitute for it an Option with a lower exercise price), without the approval of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, except as provided in Section 2.9, the Committee may not cancel an outstanding Option whose exercise price is equal to or greater than the current Fair Market Value of a Share in exchange for cash or substitute for it another Award without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.

Restricted Stock granted to an Eligible Director under the Plan (whether represented by stock certificates or in book entry or other electronic form) shall be registered in the Director’s name or, at the option of the Committee, not issued until such time as the Restricted Stock shall become vested or as otherwise determined by the Committee. If certificates are issued prior to the Shares of Restricted Stock becoming vested, such certificates shall either be held by the Company on behalf of the Director, or delivered to the Director bearing a legend to restrict transfer of the certificate until the Restricted Stock has vested, as determined by the Committee. The Director shall have the right to vote and receive dividends on the Restricted Stock before it has vested. Except as may otherwise be expressly permitted by the Committee, no Share of Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Director until such Share has vested. In the event that a Director ceases to be a Director before all the Director’s Restricted Stock has vested, the Shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall be forfeited.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KIRBY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
•
First quarter 2026 earnings per share of $1.50, representing a 13% increase year-over-year
•
Increased the full-year 2026 earnings per share growth guidance range to 5% - 15%, up from the prior guidance of 0% - 12%
•
Acquired 23 barges—including five specialty barges and three high horsepower boats—from an undisclosed seller for $95.8 million
•
Returned $52.7 million of capital to shareholders through share repurchases during the first quarter of 2026 at an average share price of $123.18
HOUSTON, April 30, 2026 – Kirby Corporation (“Kirby” or “the Company”) (NYSE: KEX) today announced net earnings attributable to Kirby for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, of $81.2 million, or $1.50 per share, compared with earnings of $76.0 million, or $1.33 per share, for the 2025 first quarter. Total revenues for the 2026 first quarter were $844.1 million compared with $785.7 million reported for the 2025 first quarter.
David Grzebinski, Kirby’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter results reflected improving market conditions in marine transportation where utilization and pricing strengthened as the quarter progressed, resulting in positive momentum entering the second quarter. In distribution and services, year-over-year revenue growth remained strong driven by continued strength in power generation orders. While results were impacted early in the quarter by normal seasonal challenges in marine transportation and project timing dynamics in distribution and services, overall performance improved as the quarter progressed, resulting in strong year-over-year growth in earnings per share.”
“In inland marine, market fundamentals improved during the quarter as customer demand strengthened and barge availability remained limited. While operations were impacted early in the quarter by seasonal weather-related disruptions and navigational delays, conditions improved as the quarter progressed, supporting better utilization and pricing. Barge utilization averaged in the low-90% range for the quarter, spot pricing increased in the low-single-digit range sequentially, and term contract renewals were flat to slightly up when compared to the year prior. The combination of improved pricing and disciplined execution helped drive operating margins to the high-teens range.”
“In coastal marine, market fundamentals remained strong with our barge utilization levels running in the mid-to high-90% range. During the quarter, we saw continued strength in customer demand and limited availability of large capacity vessels, which resulted in term contract renewal rates rising in the 20% range year-over-year. Overall, first quarter coastal revenues increased 23% year-over-year and operating margins were in the high-teens range.”
“In distribution and services, results reflected mixed conditions across end markets. First quarter revenues increased 12% year‑over‑year, driven by continued strength in power generation and strong marine repair activity. However, sequentially revenues and operating income declined due to OEM engine availability and continued softness in conventional oil and gas activity. Power generation demand remained strong, with revenues increasing 45% year-over-year and backlog continuing to grow, supported primarily by behind-the-meter prime power solutions. Disciplined execution in commercial and industrial continued to support segment margins, while oil and gas results continued to be pressured by lower conventional activity. Overall, the segment demonstrated resilience across a diversified portfolio,” Mr. Grzebinski concluded.

Segment Results – Marine Transportation
Marine transportation revenues for the 2026 first quarter were $497.2 million compared with $476.1 million for the 2025 first quarter. Operating income for the 2026 first quarter was $89.7 million compared with $86.6 million for the 2025 first quarter. Segment operating margin for the 2026 first quarter was 18.0% compared with 18.2% for the 2025 first quarter.
In inland marine, 2026 first quarter average barge utilization was up sequentially and in the low-90% range. Revenues were flat year-over-year, and operating margins were in the high-teens range. Throughout the quarter, operating conditions on the inland waterways were affected by winter weather conditions, including wind and fog along the Gulf Coast and ice conditions on the Illinois River and Upper Ohio River, and lock delays on the Mississippi River, all of which contributed to a 25% sequential increase in delay days. During the quarter, average spot market rates increased in the low-single-digits sequentially, and term contracts that renewed in the first quarter were flat to slightly up on average compared to a year ago. Inland marine represented approximately 79% of segment revenues in the first quarter of 2026.
In coastal marine, market conditions were strong with barge utilization in the mid‑to-high‑90% range. Coastal marine revenues increased 23% year‑over‑year and operating margins were in the high‑teens range, reflecting favorable utilization and pricing. Term contracts that renewed during the quarter increased in the 20% range on average compared to a year ago. Coastal marine represented approximately 21% of segment revenues in the first quarter of 2026.
Segment Results – Distribution and Services
Distribution and services revenues for the 2026 first quarter were $346.9 million compared with $309.5 million for the 2025 first quarter. Operating income for the 2026 first quarter was $23.3 million compared with $22.6 million for the 2025 first quarter. Segment operating margin was 6.7% for the 2026 first quarter compared with 7.3% for the 2025 first quarter.
In the power generation market, revenues increased 45% and operating income increased 39% compared to the 2025 first quarter, reflecting strong underlying demand and solid execution despite ongoing OEM‑related supply constraints. Order activity remained robust, supported by continued growth in sales for behind‑the‑meter prime power and backup solutions across data center and industrial customers. Power generation represented approximately 44% of segment revenues for the quarter, with operating margins in the mid‑single-digit range.
In the commercial and industrial market, revenues increased 1% and operating income increased 3% compared to the 2025 first quarter, as higher business levels in marine repair were offset by lower activity in on-highway repair. Commercial and industrial represented approximately 46% of segment revenues for the quarter, with operating margins in the high-single-digit range.
In the oil and gas market, revenues declined 25% and operating income decreased 53% compared to the 2025 first quarter driven by lower levels of conventional oilfield activity, which resulted in decreased demand for new transmissions and parts partially offset by e-frac equipment. Oil and gas revenues represented approximately 10% of segment revenues for the quarter, with operating margins in the mid-single-digit range.
Financial Highlights
For the 2026 first quarter, EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $183.1 million compared with $174.3 million for the 2025 first quarter. During the quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was $97.7 million, and capital expenditures were $48.3 million, resulting in free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $49.4 million. In the 2026 first quarter, Kirby returned $52.7 million of capital through share repurchases at an average share price of $123.18. Additionally, the Company continued to execute on its focused and disciplined acquisition strategy in the inland marine business by agreeing to acquire 23 barges and three high horsepower boats from an undisclosed seller for $95.8 million, of which $81.4 million was paid during the first quarter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $58.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and $635.4 million of liquidity available. Total debt was $983.4 million and the debt-to-capitalization ratio was 22.3%.

Additionally, on March 26, 2026, Kirby entered into an amended and restated credit agreement that extended the facility maturity date to March 26, 2031, increased revolving credit facility commitments to $750 million, and eliminated the term loan credit facility, further strengthening the Company’s liquidity profile and long‑term financial flexibility.
2026 Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2026, Mr. Grzebinski stated, “Kirby is off to a solid start to the year amid a global macro environment that has become more uncertain, driven in part by heightened geopolitical tensions and volatility across energy and industrial markets. In marine transportation, underlying activity levels remain constructive, supported by strong refinery utilization and improving conditions in the petrochemical markets amid ongoing global supply chain disruptions. Coastal market conditions remain positive, with pricing moving in the right direction. In distribution and services, power generation continues to be a key area of strength, supported by solid backlog growth and growing customer demand, helping offset variability in other product lines. With this improving backdrop, the Company has increased the full-year 2026 earnings per share growth guidance range to 5% - 15%, up from the prior guidance of 0% - 12%.”
In inland marine, positive market dynamics are anticipated, driven by limited new barge construction and strong demand from refining and petrochemical customers. Barge utilization rates are expected to be in the low-90% range with continued improvement in term contract pricing as renewals occur throughout the year. However, inflation remains a factor, particularly in labor, and the industry-wide mariner shortage continues to constrain capacity growth. Overall, inland revenues are expected to grow in the low-to-mid-single-digit range with operating margins expected to be in the high-teens to low-20% range for the full year.
In coastal marine, market conditions remain favorable, with balanced supply and demand across the industry fleet. Steady customer demand is expected to keep barge utilization in the mid-90% range. Revenues for the full year are expected to increase in the mid-single digits compared to 2025 driven by higher pricing on contracts. Coastal operating margins are expected to be in the high-teens range on a full year basis. However, margin headwinds are anticipated in the second quarter of 2026 given the higher number of planned shipyards.
In distribution and services, continued strength in power generation and strong marine repair activity is expected to help offset softness in on-highway service and repair and lower levels of activity in oil and gas, with segment results remaining mixed overall. In power generation, order momentum remains healthy, supported by data center demand and the need for behind‑the‑meter prime power and backup solutions. However, delayed OEM engine deliveries are expected to continue to contribute to variability, with certain projects shifting into the second half of the year. In commercial and industrial, demand for marine repair is expected to remain healthy, while on‑highway service and repair demand is expected to remain constrained. In oil and gas, activity remains muted as the market continues to show softness. Overall, the Company expects segment revenues to be flat to slightly higher for the full year with operating margins in the mid-to-high‑single-digits.
The Company expects to generate net cash provided by operating activities of $575 million to $675 million in 2026 and capital spending is expected to range from $220 million to $260 million. Approximately $170 million to $210 million is expected to be allocated to marine maintenance capital and improvements to existing inland and coastal marine equipment, and facility improvements. Up to approximately $65 million is expected to be allocated to growth capital spending across both of 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 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 2025 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, 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, 2025.

Kirby has historically evaluated its operating performance using numerous measures, one of which is EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Kirby defines EBITDA as net earnings attributable to Kirby before interest expense, taxes on income, and depreciation and amortization. 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 Kirby’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. 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.
(2)
Kirby uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to review performance excluding 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. 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 the company's normal operating results. Kirby also uses free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, 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.
(3)
See Kirby’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 for amounts provided by (used in) investing and financing activities.
(4)
Ton miles indicate fleet productivity by measuring the distance (in miles) a loaded tank barge is moved. Example: A typical 30,000 barrel tank barge loaded with 3,300 tons of liquid cargo is moved 100 miles, thus generating 330,000 ton miles.
(5)
Inland marine transportation revenues divided by ton miles. Example: First quarter 2026 inland marine transportation revenues of $394.1 million divided by 3,791 million inland marine transportation ton miles = 10.4 cents.
(6)
Towboats operated are the average number of owned and chartered towboats operated during the period.
(7)
Delay days measures the lost time incurred by a tow (towboat and one or more tank barges) during transit. The measure includes transit delays caused by weather, lock congestion, and other navigational factors.
