On January 27, Kirby Corporation announced net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $11 million or $0.18 per share, down from $22.2 million or $0.37 per share for the same quarter of 2020. Revenues, however, were $591.3 million, compared with $489.8 million a year ago. Excluding one-time charges related to a change in Louisiana's tax law in the 2021 fourth quarter, net earnings for the quarter were $16.7 million or $0.27 per share. In November 2021, Louisiana voters approved a constitutional amendment that removed the corporate tax deduction for federal income taxes paid and lowered the corporate income tax rate from 8 percent to 7.5 percent effective January 1, 2022, Kirby reported. The result of the amendment was an increase in the effective state income tax rate-net of de-duction for federal income tax-from 6.3 percent to 7.5 percent. As a result of the amendment, Kirby recognized a onetime deferred tax provision of $5.7 million or $0.09 per share in the quarter due to the remeasurement of the company's Louisiana and U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
