TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS Kirby Corporation has come a long way since it was principally an oil and gas exploration company in the 1970s and 1980s. I have had the honor to work for our shareholders and employees since joining Kirby in 1978. In 1988, Kirby transitioned from an oil and gas explora- tion company to the core business it is today. Many have contributed to Kirby’s success through hard work and good strategic decisions. Today, Kirby is the premier inland and coastal tank barge transportation company in the United States. Since 1988, the year we became a marine transporta- tion company, our revenues have grown at an annualized rate of 16.0% a year and our stock price has increased in value at an annualized rate of approximately 19%. Kirby employs 4,575 marine transportation, diesel engine services and corporate employees compared with 800 in early 1989. We have the strongest balance sheet and are the only investment grade-rated company in our busi- ness. We have a stellar reputation for delivering safe and reliable marine transportation and diesel engine services to our customers, while continuing to create value for our shareholders. We have much for which to be thankful. The 2013 year was another record-setting year for Kirby. Revenues were $2.2 billion, net earnings $253 million, and earnings per share $4.44. Compared with 2012, our revenues were up 6%, net earnings up 21%, and earnings per share up 19%. Kirby’s 2013 EBITDA was $598 million compared with 2012’s EBITDA of $507 million, an increase of 18%. Our inland tank barge operation continued its strong performance throughout 2013, with our petrochemical, black oil and reﬁned products ﬂeets’ utilization rates consistently above 90% levels and with continued favorable pricing trends. The United States petrochemical industry beneﬁted from a low-cost natural gas feedstock advantage, contributing strong volumes of products moved from Gulf Coast petrochemical plants for domestic consumers and to terminals for export destinations. Movements of crude oil and natural gas condensate from the shale formations and stable reﬁnery output have kept the black oil ﬂeet at close to full utilization. Reﬁned products demand also remained ﬁrm throughout 2013, beneﬁting from increased exports of diesel fuel and fuel oils. Our coastal tank barge ﬂeet beneﬁted from the Allied Transportation Company and Penn Maritime Inc. acquisitions in late 2012. Business levels in the coastal ﬂeet started to improve during the 2012 second half and continued throughout 2013 with equipment utilization consistently in the 90% range. This improved demand was attributable to tighter industry capacity driven by demand for the regional coastal transportation of crude oil and natural gas condensate, including the movement of Bakken crude oil along the West Coast beginning in the 2013 fourth quarter. In addition, we continued to expand our coastal business to inland customers with coastal requirements. The tighter coastal capacity led to improved pricing trends throughout 2013. For 2013, marine transportation revenues were $1.7 billion, up 22% from $1.4 billion in 2012. Operating income was $408 million, up 31% from $312 million in 2012. The operating margin was 23.8% compared with 22.1% in 2012, driven by continued high inland tank barge utilization and pricing, and much improved coastal tank barge utilization and pricing. We continued to reinvest in our marine transporta- tion ﬂeet during 2013, spending $253 million on capital expenditures, including $148 million for new inland tank barges, inland towboats and progress payments on the construction of two offshore dry-bulk barge and tugboat units completed in 2013. We also invested $105 million primarily for upgrades to our existing inland and coastal ﬂeets and diesel engine services facilities. The average age of our inland tank barge ﬂeet at the beginning of 2014 was 16.2 years compared with 24.0 years in 2008. The average age of our coastal tank barges at the begin- ning of 2014 was 16.7 years, one of the younger ﬂeets in the coastal tank barge industry. In January 2014 we announced an expansion of our coastal ﬂeet when we signed an agreement to construct a 185,000 barrel coastal tank barge and 10000 horse- power tugboat unit at a cost of $75 to $80 million. The unit is anticipated to be delivered in mid to late 2015. The unit will be chartered to a major customer for a four-year period with a one-year extension option. Throughout 2013, our land-based diesel engine services market remained very challenging due to excess pressure pumping equipment. Today, an estimated 18 million horsepower or 8,200 pressure pumping units exist. Due to this excess capacity, the market for building pressure pumping units was weak, and the remanufacturing of older pressure pumping units was weaker than expected. We do believe the market for remanufacturing pressure pumping equipment will improve in 2014. We are well positioned to service this equipment, as well as build new oilﬁeld equipment as the market dictates. Our marine diesel engine services market saw stable demand throughout 2013 from inland and offshore marine customers for overhaul projects, service and parts sales, and was relatively consistent with 2012. The power 2 Kirby 2013 Annual Report generation market was also similar to 2012 for engine- generator set upgrades and parts sales for both domestic and international customers. Diesel engine services revenues were $529 million in 2013, down 25% from $704 million in 2012. Operating income was $43 million in 2013, down 36% from $66 mil- lion in 2012. The operating margin for 2013 was 8.1% compared with 9.4% for 2012. The 2013 and 2012 results included an $18.3 million credit before taxes, or $.20 per share, and a $4.3 million credit before taxes, or $.05 per share, respectively, reducing the fair value of the contingent earnout liability associated with the acquisition of United Holdings in April 2011. This liability was eliminated as of September 30, 2013, and the earnout period has expired. Cash ﬂow remained strong throughout 2013, with net cash provided by operating activities of $601 million, signiﬁcantly above our capital needs. This strong cash ﬂow was used for capital expenditures of $253 million and to reduce our outstanding debt by $386 million. Our outstanding debt at the end of 2013 was $749 million compared with $1.14 billion at the beginning of 2013. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 27.0% at the end of 2013 compared with 39.9% at the beginning of the year. As announced in April 2013, I will be stepping down in 2014 as Kirby’s Chief Executive Ofﬁcer but will continue to work as an active Executive Chairman of Kirby’s Board of Directors. The Board has selected David Grzebinski as my successor. I look forward to working with David and Kirby’s management team as we continue to grow and create value for our shareholders. David assumed the role of President and Chief Operating Ofﬁcer in January 2014, having previously served since early 2010 as Kirby’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Ofﬁcer. Andy Smith has joined Kirby as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Ofﬁcer. As we enter 2014, I want to thank the entire Kirby team for the contributions each of you made during 2013. To the dedi- cated vessel employees who work on our boats ensuring that our customers’ products are delivered safely and efﬁciently, to our mechanics, machinists, engineers and manufacturing technicians, and to our shoreside and ofﬁce staff who provide essential support and services, I extend my thanks for your outstanding effort and commitment last year. I want to thank our Board of Directors for their stead- fast commitment, expertise, direction and support. I want to give David Lemmon special thanks. Dave has been a Board Member since 2006 and will retire from the Board at our Annual Meeting in April. Dave’s expertise, direction and support contributed signiﬁcantly to the growth of Kirby. Joe Pyne Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Ofﬁcer I also want to extend a special thank you to George Peterkin, Jr., who is also retiring from the Kirby Board in April having served as a Kirby Director since 1969. George served as President of Kirby from 1973 to 1995, Chairman of the Board from 1995 to 1999 and Chairman Emeritus since 1999. During George’s tenure as President, Chairman and later Chairman Emeritus, he helped guide Kirby’s transition from a company primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration with a small barge line to the largest inland and coastal tank barge company in the United States. I have had the unique pleasure and honor to work for you, the shareholders, employees and directors of Kirby, for over 35 years. In 1984, I became the President of Kirby’s marine transportation subsidiary and in 1995 a Director and the Chief Executive Ofﬁcer of Kirby. Along the way, I have had the pleasure of working with a number of outstanding Kirby Board Chairmen, Boards of Directors and a consistently great management team. Each has brought to Kirby some unique expertise, insight and leader- ship. It is my hope that I can continue to provide wisdom, insight and leadership as Kirby’s current Chairman. Respectfully submitted, Joseph H. Pyne Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Ofﬁcer Houston, Texas March 7, 2014 MARINE TRANSPORTATION The United States’ 12,000 miles of inland interconnected rivers, canals and intracoastal waterways and 12,500 miles of coastline with its numerous ports and harbors serve as one of the world’s most efﬁcient transportation systems, linking the United States’ heartland and coastal states to the rest of the world.
