Kirby has historically evaluated its operating performance using numerous measures, one of which is Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Kirby defines
Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings attributable to Kirby before interest expense, taxes on income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because of its wide
acceptance as a financial indicator. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the performance measures used in Kirby’s incentive bonus plan. Adjusted 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. Adjusted 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.

See Kirby’s 2020 10-K and 2020 first quarter 10-Q/A 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 2021 inland marine transportation revenues of $224,451,000 divided by
2,981,000,000 inland marine transportation ton miles = 7.5 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.
