Kirby Corporation on July 28 announced net earnings for the second quarter of $28.5 million or $0.47 per share, compared with $10.2 million or $0.17 per share for the same quarter in 2021. Revenues were $698 million, compared with $559.6 million a year earlier. "Both of our segments continued to improve during the quarter, delivering higher revenue and operating income sequentially and year-on-year," said David Grzebinski, president and CEO. "In the inland marine transportation market, pricing on spot and term contracts continued to move higher, with both renewing higher in the mid-teens. We anticipate continued gradual upward movement in pricing in the second half of 2022 with late fourth-quarter term contract renewals setting up for a strong 2023. Distribution and services also performed well as we continued to navigate persistent supply chain constraints. We continue to expect steady progression in quarterly earnings as we move through the remainder of 2022. |
