NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

~~(1) BASIS FOR PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

(1)	Basis for Preparation of the Condensed Financial Statements

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Kirby Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting policies normally included in annual financial statements, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Certain reclassifications have been made to reflect the current presentation of financial information.

~~(2) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTIONS~~

(2)	Accounting Standards Adoptions

In ~~August 2018,~~December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” which amends the annual disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing certain requirements, providing clarification on existing requirements and adding new requirements including adding an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ~~and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning~~ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”) which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 in the goodwill impairment test that required an entity to perform procedures to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities at the testing date. An entity instead ~~will~~shall perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests conducted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment testing dates afteron January 1, ~~2017. The~~2020 on a prospective basis. See Note 8, Impairments and Other Charges for further details.

(3)	Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company ~~is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.~~purchased 3 newly constructed inland pressure barges for $20,100,000 in cash.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 onOn January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and will not restate prior periods. The Company also elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allows3,2020, the Company ~~to carryforward its historical lease classification~~completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Convoy Servicing Company and Agility Fleet Services, LLC (collectively “Convoy”) for ~~the non-recognition~~$40,322,000 in cash, reduced by a receivable due from Convoy of ~~short-term leases. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted~~$3,142,000 recorded for post-closing adjustments that was settled in ~~the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets~~April 2020. Convoy is an authorized dealer for ~~operating leases of $168,149,000~~Thermo King refrigeration systems for trucks, railroad cars and ~~lease liabilities~~other land transportation markets for operating leases of $175,778,000 on the Company’s Condensed Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2019, with no material impact to the Condensed Statements of Earnings or Cash Flows. The Company did not have any financing leases as of January 1, 2019. See Note 3, Leases for additional information.North and East Texas and Colorado.

~~(3) LEASES~~

The Company currently leases various facilities and equipment under cancelable and noncancelable operating leases. The accounting for the Company’s leases may require judgments, which include determining whether a contract contains a lease, the allocation between lease and non-lease components, and determining the incremental borrowing rates. Leases with an initial noncancelable term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has also elected to combine lease and non-lease components on all classes of leased assets, except for leased towing vessels for which the Company estimates approximately 75%fair values of the ~~costs relate to service costs~~assets acquired and ~~other non-lease components. Variable lease costs relate primarily to real estate executory costs (i.e. taxes, insurance and maintenance).~~

~~(5) ACQUISITIONS~~

~~During the six months ended June 30,2019, the Company purchased~~ ~~seven~~ ~~inland tank barges from a leasing company for $8,340,000~~ ~~in cash. The Company had been leasing the barges prior to the purchases.~~

On March 14, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the marine transportation fleet of Cenac Marine Services, LLC (“Cenac”) for $244,500,000 in cash. Cenac’s fleet consisted of 63 inland 30,000 barrel tank barges with approximately 1,833,000 barrels of capacity, 34 inland towboats and two offshore tugboats. Cenac transported petrochemicals, refined products and black oil, including crude oil, residual fuels, feedstocks and lubricants on the lower Mississippi River, its tributaries, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway for major oil companies and refiners. The average age of the inland tank barges was approximately five years and the inland towboats had an average age of approximately seven years.

The Company considers Cenac to be a natural extension of the current marine transportation segment, expanding the capabilities of the Company’s inland based marine transportation business and lowering the average age of its inland tank barge and towboat fleet.

~~The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at the acquisition date were as follows (in thousands):~~

The Company acquired intangible assets with an amortization period of two years and incurred long-term intangible liabilities related to unfavorable contracts with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 1.3 years. The fair values have not been finalized and are provisional, pending completion of the tangible and intangible valuation studies. As additional information becomes known concerning the assets acquired, the Company may make adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for up to one year following the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs of $392,000, consisting primarily of legal and other professional fees, were expensed as incurred to selling, general and administrative expense in the 2019 first six months.

Pro forma results of the acquisitions made in the 2019 first six months have not been presented as the pro forma revenues and net earnings attributable to Kirby would not be materially different from the Company’s actual results.

~~(7) LONG-TERM DEBT~~

On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of commercial banks, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the administrative agent bank, that extends the term of the Company’s existing $850,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) to March 27, 2024 and adds a five-year term loan (“Term Loan”) facility in an amount of $500,000,000. The Credit Agreement provides for a variable interest rate based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or a base rate calculated with reference to the agent bank’s prime rate, among other factors (the “Alternate Base Rate”). The interest rate varies with the Company’s credit rating and is currently 112.5 basis points over LIBOR or 12.5 basis points over the Alternate Base Rate. The Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments commencing June 30, 2020, in increasing percentages of the original principal amount of the loan, with the remaining unpaid balance payable of 65% of the initial amount due on March 27, 2024. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants including an interest coverage ratio and a debt-to-capitalization ratio. In addition to financial covenants, the Credit Agreement contains covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict debt incurrence, mergers and acquisitions, sales of assets, dividends and investments, liquidations and dissolutions, capital leases, transactions with affiliates and changes in lines of business. The Credit Agreement specifies certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the maturity of the outstanding loans may be accelerated, including the failure to pay principal or interest, violation of covenants and default on other indebtedness, among other events. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes including acquisitions. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all Credit Agreement covenants and had outstanding borrowings of $103,577,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility and $500,000,000 under the Term Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25,000,000 commitment which may be used for standby letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility were $5,670,000 as of June 30, 2019.

~~The estimated fair value of total debt outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $1,637,493,000~~ ~~and $1,411,628,000, respectively, which differs from the carrying amounts of $1,594,706,000~~ ~~and $1,410,188,000, respectively, included in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of debt outstanding was determined using a Level 2 fair value measurement.~~

~~(8) STOCK AWARD PLANS~~

The Company has share-based compensation plans which are described below. The compensation cost that has been charged against earnings for the Company’s stock award plans and the income tax benefit recognized in the statement of earnings for stock awards for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

The Company has an employee stock award plan for selected officers and other key employees which provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards and performance awards. On February 19, 2018, the employee stock award plan was amended to also allow for the granting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to selected officers and other key employees. The amendment included a provision for the continued vesting of unvested stock options and RSUs for employees who meet certain years of service and age requirements at the time of their retirement. The vesting change resulted in shorter expense accrual periods on stock options and RSUs granted after February 19, 2018 to employees who are nearing retirement and meet the service and age requirements.

107

The exercise price for each option equals the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Substantially all stock options outstanding under the plan have terms of seven years and vest ratably over three years. No performance awards payable in stock have been awarded under the plan. At June 30, 2019, 1,348,971 shares were available for future grants under the employee plan and no outstanding stock options under the employee plan were issued with stock appreciation rights.

The Company has a stock award plan for nonemployee directors of the Company which provides for the issuance of stock options and restricted stock. The director plan provides for automatic grants of restricted stock to nonemployee directors after each annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, the director plan allows for the issuance of stock options or restricted stock in lieu of cash for all or part of the annual director fee at the option of the director. The exercise prices for all options granted under the plan are equal to the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The terms of the options are ten years. The restricted stock issued after each annual meeting of stockholders vests six months after the date of grant. Options granted and restricted stock issued in lieu of cash director fees vest in equal quarterly increments during the year to which they relate. At June 30, 2019, 462,342 shares were available for future grants under the director plan. The director stock award plan is intended as an incentive to attract and retain qualified independent directors.

The stock options are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years, restricted stock awards over approximately 1.7 years and RSUs over approximately 4.0 years. The total fair value of options vested was $1,883,000 and $3,143,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of the restricted stock vested was $4,269,000 and $11,406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of the RSUs vested was $1,727,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Segment Data

~~(10) SEGMENT DATA~~

The Company’s operations are aggregated into ~~two~~2 reportable business segments as follows:

Marine Transportation — Provides marine transportation principally by United States flag vessels of liquid cargoes throughout the United States inland waterway system, along all three United States coasts, in Alaska and Hawaii and, to a lesser extent, in United States coastal transportation of dry-bulk cargoes. The principal products transported include petrochemicals, black oil, refined petroleum products and agricultural chemicals.

Distribution and Services — Provides after-market services and parts for engines, transmissions, reduction gears and related equipment used in oilfield service, marine, power generation, ~~mining,~~ on-highway, and other industrial applications. The Company also rents equipment including generators, ~~fork lifts, pumps~~industrial compressors, railcar movers, and ~~compressors~~high capacity lift trucks for use in a variety of industrial markets, and manufactures and remanufactures oilfield service equipment, including pressure pumping units, for ~~the~~land-based oilfield service ~~and oil and gas operator and producer markets~~customers.

The Company’s ~~two~~2 reportable business segments are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on the contributions to operating income of the respective segments, ~~and~~ before income taxes, interest, gains or losses on disposition of assets, other nonoperating income, noncontrolling interests, accounting changes, and nonrecurring items. Intersegment revenues, based on market-based pricing, of the distribution and services segment from the marine transportation segment of $~~7,446,000~~$10,286,000 and $~~14,981,000~~$7,535,000 for the three months ~~and six months~~ ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as well as the related intersegment profit of $1,029,000 and $~~7,770,000~~ ~~and $15,920,000~~$754,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2020 and ~~six months ended June 30, 2018,~~2019, respectively, have been eliminated from the tables below. ~~The related intersegment profit of $744,000~~ ~~and $1,498,000~~ ~~for the three months and six months ending June 30, 2019, respectively, and $777,000~~ ~~and $1,592,000~~ ~~for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, have also been eliminated from the tables below.~~

(6)	Long-Term Debt

The Company has an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of commercial banks, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the administrative agent bank, allowing for an $850,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) and an unsecured term loan (“Term Loan”) with a maturity date of March 27, 2024. The Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments currently scheduled to commence September 30, 2023, with $343,750,000 due on March 27, 2024. The Term Loan is prepayable, in whole or in part, without penalty. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $485,000,000 and availability of $359,637,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings of $375,000,000 under the Term Loan. The interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan were 1.9% and 2.1%, respectively, at March 31, 2020.

On February 27, 2020, upon maturity, the Company repaid in full $150,000,000 of 2.72% unsecured senior notes.

The estimated fair value of total debt outstanding at March 31,2020 and December 31, 2019 was $1,810,159,000 and $1,421,325,000, respectively, which differs from the carrying amount of $1,702,493,000 and $1,369,767,000, respectively, included in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of debt outstanding was determined using inputs characteristic of a Level 2 fair value measurement.

(7)

Leases

The Company currently leases various facilities and equipment under cancelable and noncancelable operating leases. The accounting for the Company’s leases may require judgments, which include determining whether a contract contains a lease, allocated between lease and non-lease components, and determining the incremental borrowing rates. Leases with an initial noncancelable term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has also elected to combine lease and non-lease components on all classes of leased assets, except for leased towing vessels for which the Company estimates approximately 75% of the costs relate to service costs and other non-lease components. Variable lease costs relate primarily to real estate executory costs (i.e. taxes, insurance and maintenance).

(8)	Impairments and Other Charges

During the 2020first quarter, Kirby’s market capitalization declined significantly compared to the 2019fourth quarter. Over the same period, the overall United States stock market also declined significantly amid market volatility. In addition, as a result of uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19 and a sharp decline in oil prices during the 2020first quarter, many of the Company’s oil and gas customers responded by quickly cutting 2020 capital spending budgets and activity levels quickly declined. Lower activity levels have resulted in a decline in drilling activity, resulting in lower demand for new and remanufactured oilfield equipment and related parts and service in the distribution and services segment. As a result, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred and performed interim quantitative impairment tests as of March 31,2020 for certain of the distribution and services segment’s long-lived assets and goodwill.

The Company determined the estimated fair value of such long-lived assets and reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis and a market approach for comparable companies. This analysis included management’s judgment regarding short-term and long-term internal forecasts, updated for recent events, appropriate discount rates, and capital expenditures using inputs characteristic of a Level 3 fair value measurement.

In performing the impairment test of long-lived assets within the distribution and services segment, the Company determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets, including property and equipment as well as intangible assets associated with customer relationships, tradenames, and distributorships, were no longer recoverable, resulting in an impairment charge of $165,304,000 to reduce such long-lived assets to fair value.

Based upon the results of the goodwill impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying value of one reporting unit in the distribution and services segment exceeded its estimated fair value. The goodwill impairment charge of $260,037,000 was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, and after recording impairments of long-lived assets identified above, exceeded its estimated fair value.

In addition, the Company determined cost exceeded net realizable value for certain oilfield and pressure pumping related inventory, resulting in an $8,000,000 non-cash write-down.

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill (in thousands):

(9)	Stock Award Plans

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company granted 151,845 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 114,600 stock options to selected officers and other key employees under its employee stock award plan. The RSUs vest ratably over five years and the stock options become exercisable ratably over three years and expire after seven years.

During May 2020, the Company granted 39,913 shares of restricted stock to nonemployee directors of the Company under the director stock award plan. The restricted stock vests six months after the date of grant except that restricted stock granted in lieu of cash director fees vests in equal quarterly increments through March 31, 2021.

The compensation cost that has been charged against earnings for the Company’s stock award plans and the income tax benefit recognized in the statement of earnings for stock awards were as follows (in thousands):

(10)	Taxes on Income

On March 27,2020, the United States Congress passed and the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) into law to address the COVID-19 pandemic. One provision of the CARES Act allows net operating losses generated in 2018 through 2020 to be carried back up to five years. Pursuant to this provision of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a federal current benefit for taxes on income for the three months ended March 31,2020 due to carrying back net operating losses generated between 2018 and 2020 used to offset taxable income generated between 2013 and 2017. This caused a reduction in the effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31,2020 as net operating losses carried back to tax years 2013 through 2017 are applied at a federal tax rate of 35% applicable to those tax years, compared to a 21% tax rate effective at March 31,2020. Net operating losses generated in 2018 and 2019 were used to offset taxable income generated between 2013 and 2017 taxed at 35% resulting in a tax benefit of $50,284,000. As a result, during the three months ended March 31,2020, the Company’s deferred tax asset related to federal net operating losses decreased by $77,262,000.

(13)	Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors a defined benefit plan for certain of its inland vessel personnel and shore based tankermen. The plan benefits are based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. The plan assets consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

On April 12, 2017, the Company amended its pension plan to cease all benefit accruals for periods after May 31, 2017 for certain participants. Participants grandfathered and not impacted were those, as of the close of business on May 31, 2017, who either (a) had completed 15 years of pension service or (b) had attained age 50 and completed 10 years of pension service. Participants non-grandfathered are eligible to receive discretionary 401(k) plan contributions. ~~The Company did not incur any one-time charges related to this amendment but the pension plan’s projected benefit obligation decreased by $33,433,000.~~

The Company’s pension plan funding strategy is to make annual contributions in amounts equal to or greater than amounts necessary to meet minimum government funding requirements. The plan’s benefit obligations are based on a variety of demographic and economic assumptions, and the pension plan assets’ returns are subject to various risks, including market and interest rate risk, making an accurate prediction of the pension plan contribution difficult. Based on current pension plan assets and market conditions, the Company does not expect to make a contribution to the ~~Company's~~Kirby pension plan during ~~2019.~~2020.

On February 14, 2018, with the acquisition of Higman Marine, Inc. and its affiliated companies (“Higman”), the Company assumed Higman’s pension plan for its inland vessel personnel and office staff. On March 27, 2018, the Company amended the Higman pension plan to close it to all new entrants and cease all benefit accruals for periods after May 15, 2018 for all participants. The Company ~~did not incur any one-time charges related to this amendment but the Higman pension plan’s projected benefit obligation decreased by $3,081,000. The Company~~ made ~~contributions~~a contribution of ~~$1,615,000~~$483,000 to the Higman pension plan in the 2020 first quarter ~~of 2019~~ for the ~~2018~~2019 plan ~~year and~~year. In addition, the Company made a contribution of ~~$483,000 in~~$479,000 to the ~~second quarter of 2019~~Higman pension plan during April 2020 for the ~~2019~~2020 plan year. The Company expects to make an additional ~~contributions~~contribution of ~~$966,000~~$314,000 to the Higman pension plan during ~~2019~~2020 for the 2019 plan year and contributions of $958,000 for the 2020 plan year.

The Company sponsors an unfunded defined benefit health care plan that provides limited postretirement medical benefits to employees who meet minimum age and service requirements, and to eligible dependents. The plan limits cost increases in the Company’s contribution to 4% per year. The plan is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The plan eliminated coverage for future retirees as of December 31, 2011. The Company also has an unfunded defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) that was assumed in an acquisition in 1999. That plan ceased to accrue additional benefits effective January 1, 2000.

Overview

The Company is the nation’s largest domestic tank barge operator, transporting bulk liquid products throughout the Mississippi River System, on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, coastwise along all three United States coasts, and in Alaska and Hawaii. The Company transports petrochemicals, black oil, refined petroleum products and agricultural chemicals by tank barge. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company operated a fleet of ~~1,067~~1,065 inland tank barges with 23.7 million barrels of capacity, and operated an average of ~~309~~311 inland towboats. The Company’s coastal fleet consisted of 49 tank barges with 4.7 million barrels of capacity and 47 coastal tugboats. The Company also owns and operates four offshore dry-bulk cargo barges, four offshore tugboats and one docking tugboat transporting dry-bulk commodities in United States coastal trade. Through its distribution and services segment, the Company provides after-market service and parts for engines, transmissions, reduction gears, and related equipment used in oilfield services, marine, ~~mining,~~ power generation, on-highway, and other industrial applications. The Company also rents equipment including generators, ~~fork lifts, pumps~~industrial compressors, railcar movers, and ~~compressors~~high capacity lift trucks for use in a variety of industrial markets, and manufactures and remanufactures oilfield service equipment, including pressure pumping units, for ~~the~~land-based oilfield service ~~and oil and gas operator and producer markets.~~customers.

For the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, the net ~~earnings~~loss attributable to Kirby ~~were $47,287,000,~~was $248,468,000, or ~~$0.79~~$4.15 per share, on revenues of ~~$771,042,000,~~$643,926,000, compared with ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter net earnings attributable to Kirby of ~~$28,602,000,~~$44,296,000, or ~~$0.48~~$0.74 per share, on revenues of ~~$802,671,000. For the 2019~~$744,621,000. The 2020 first ~~six months, net earnings attributable to Kirby were $91,583,000,~~quarter included $433,341,000 before taxes, $334,568,000 after taxes, or ~~$1.53~~$5.59 per share, ~~on revenues~~non-cash charges related to inventory write-downs, impairment of ~~$1,515,663,000, compared with 2018~~long-lived assets, including intangible assets and property and equipment, and impairment of goodwill in the distribution and services segment. See Note 8, Impairments and Other Charges for additional information. In addition, the 2020 first ~~six months net earnings attributable to Kirby~~quarter was favorably impacted by an income tax benefit of ~~$61,073,000,~~$50,824,000, or ~~$1.02 per share, on revenues of $1,544,359,000.

See Note 10, Taxes on Income for additional information.

Marine Transportation

For the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, ~~and first six months,~~ the Company’s marine transportation segment generated ~~52% and 51%, respectively,~~63% of the Company’s revenue. The segment’s customers include many of the major petrochemical and refining companies that operate in the United States. Products transported include intermediate materials used to produce many of the end products used widely by businesses and consumers — plastics, fiber, paints, detergents, oil additives and paper, among others, as well as residual fuel oil, ship bunkers, asphalt, gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, crude oil, natural gas condensate, and agricultural chemicals. Consequently, the Company’s marine transportation business is directly affected by the volumes produced by the Company’s petroleum, petrochemical and refining customer base.

The Company’s marine transportation segment’s revenues for ~~both~~ the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter ~~and first six months~~ increased ~~7%,~~10% and operating income increased ~~39% and 63%, respectively,~~43% compared with the ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter ~~and first six months~~ revenues and operating income. The increases were primarily due to the addition of the ~~Higman fleet acquired on February 14, 2018, the acquisition of the Targa Resources Corp (“Targa”) pressure barge fleet on May 10, 2018, the CGBM 100,~~Cenac Marine Services, LLC (“~~CGBM”~~Cenac”) ~~inland tank barges acquired on December 14, 2018, and the Cenac marine transportation~~ fleet acquired on March 14, 2019, ~~as well as improved barge utilization~~ and increased spot and term contract pricing in the inland and coastal markets. ~~Partially offsetting these increases during~~The 2020 and 2019 first quarters were ~~unusually~~impacted by poor operating conditions and high delay days due to heavy fog and wind along the Gulf Coast, ~~prolonged periods of ice on the Illinois River,~~ high water on the Mississippi River System, and closures of key waterways as a result of lock maintenance projects, ~~extended delays in the Houston Ship Channel, and~~as well as increased shipyard days on ~~several~~ large capacity coastal ~~vessels during the~~vessels. The 2019 first ~~quarter. The 2018 first six months were~~quarter was also impacted by prolonged periods of ice on the ~~Higman transaction costs,~~Illinois River and ~~severance and retirement costs which were each incurred in~~a fire at a chemical storage facility on the ~~2018 first quarter as discussed above.~~Houston Ship Channel. For the 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018 second~~first quarters, the inland tank barge fleet contributed ~~77%~~79% and ~~76%~~77%, respectively, and the coastal fleet contributed ~~23%~~21% and ~~24%, respectively, of marine transportation revenues. For the 2019 and 2018 first six months, the inland tank barge fleet contributed 77% and 75%, respectively, and the coastal fleet contributed~~ 23% ~~and 25%~~, respectively, of marine transportation revenues.

~~Tank~~Inland tank barge utilization levels ~~in the Company’s inland marine transportation markets~~ averaged in the low to mid-90% range during the 2020 first quarter compared with the low 90% range during the 2019 fourth quarter and mid-90% range during the 2019 first quarter.

Coastal tank barge utilization levels averaged in the low to mid-80% range during the 2020 first quarter compared with the mid-80% range during the 2019 ~~second quarter compared with the low-80% range during the 2019 first~~fourth quarter and the low 80% range in the ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter. ~~The improvement in utilization in 2019 primarily reflected improved customer demand resulting in higher utilization of spot market capacity.~~ Utilization in the coastal marine fleet continued to be impacted by the oversupply of smaller tank barges in the coastal industry.

During ~~both~~ the 2020 and 2019 ~~second quarter~~first quarters, approximately 60% and ~~first six months and the 2018 second quarter and first six months, approximately~~ 65%, respectively, of marine transportation’s inland revenues were under term contracts, which have contract terms of 12 months or longer, and 40% and 35%, respectively, were spot contract ~~revenues.~~revenues, which have contract terms of less than 12 months. Inland time charters during the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter ~~and first six months~~ represented ~~63% and 62%, respectively,~~65% of the inland revenues under term contracts compared with 62% ~~and 60%, respectively,~~ in the ~~2018 second quarter and~~2019 first ~~six months.~~quarter. Rates on inland term contracts renewed in the 2020 first quarter increased in the 1% to 3% average range compared with term contracts renewed in the 2019 first quarter. Spot contract rates in the 2020 first quarter increased in the 4% to 6% average range compared ~~with term contracts renewed in the first quarter of 2018. Rates on inland term contracts renewed in~~to both the 2019 ~~second~~fourth quarter increased in the 5% to 8% average range compared with term contracts renewed in the 2018 second quarter.

During the 2020 and 2019 first quarters, approximately 85% and ~~2018 second quarters and first six months, approximately~~ 80%, respectively, of the coastal revenues were under term contracts and 15% and 20%, respectively, were spot contract revenues. Coastal time charters represented approximately 90% and 85% of coastal revenues under term contracts during the 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018 second~~first quarters, ~~and first six months.~~respectively. Spot and term contract pricing in the coastal market are contingent on various factors including geographic location, vessel capacity, vessel type, and product serviced. Rates on coastal term contracts renewed in the 2020 first quarter increased in the 10% to 15% average range compared with term contracts renewed in the 2019 first quarter. Spot market rates in the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter improved in the 10% to 15% average range compared to the ~~2018 second quarter. Term contract pricing in both the~~ 2019 first quarter and ~~second quarters was higher in the 4% to 6% average range~~were generally unchanged compared to the ~~2018 first and second quarters.~~2019 fourth quarter.

The marine transportation segment operating margin was ~~13.2%~~12.6% for the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter compared with ~~10.1% for the 2018 second quarter and 11.5%~~9.6% for the 2019 first ~~six months compared to 7.6% for the 2018 first six months.~~quarter.

Distribution and Services

For the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, ~~and first six months,~~ the distribution and services segment generated ~~48% and 49%, respectively,~~37% of the Company’s revenue, of which ~~70% and 69%, respectively,~~91% was generated from service and parts and ~~30% and 31%, respectively,~~9% from manufacturing. The results of the distribution and services segment are largely influenced by the economic cycles of the oilfield service and oil and gas operator and producer markets, marine, ~~mining,~~ power generation, on-highway, and other industrial markets.

Distribution and services revenues for the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter decreased 36% and ~~first six months~~operating income decreased ~~14% and 10%, respectively, when~~90% compared with the ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter revenue and first six months. Operating income for the distribution and services segment for the 2019 second quarter and first six months decreased 42% and 21%, respectively, compared with the 2018 second quarter and first six months.operating income. The decreases were primarily attributable to reduced activity in the oilfield ~~which resulted~~as a result of oil price volatility throughout 2019 and into the 2020 first quarter, the extensive downturn in ~~lower~~oil and gas exploration due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an oversupply of pressure pumping equipment in North America, and reduced spending and enhanced cash flow discipline for the Company’s major oilfield customers. As a result, customer demand and incremental orders for new and remanufactured pressure pumping equipment and ~~reduced demand for~~sales of new and overhauled transmissions and related parts and service ~~partially offset by improved demand in~~declined during the ~~commercial and industrial market for the power generation sector.~~2020 first quarter. For the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, ~~and first six months,~~ the oil and gas market contributed ~~54% and 57%, respectively~~33% of the distribution and services revenues.

The commercial and industrial market, which contributed ~~46% and 43%~~67% of the distribution and services revenues for the 2020 first quarter, increased compared to the 2019 ~~second~~first quarter, primarily due to the contribution from the Convoy acquisition. This incremental revenue was partially offset by reductions in on-highway and ~~first six months, respectively, saw increased~~power generation service demand ~~from commercial customers for back-up power systems~~as a result of the COVID-19 economic slowdown and nationwide, state, and local stay-at-home orders.

Outlook

InWhile there remains significant uncertainty around the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the inland marine transportation market, the Company anticipates ~~favorable market dynamics~~reduced consumer demand for petrochemicals, crude oil, and refined products associated with ~~continued growth in customer demand during 2019, driven by continued growth in U.S. GDP, new~~COVID-19. With refineries and petrochemical plants ~~which are expected~~reducing utilization rates to ~~come on-line during~~align with declining demand, the year, and new pipelines from the Permian Basin that will bring additional crude oil volumes to the Gulf Coast. These factors, combined with only modest inland barge additions, are expected to result inCompany’s inland barge utilization ~~rates~~has declined to levels around 90% during April, and further volume declines may occur going forward. However, the long-term nature of many of the Company’s inland contracts and flexibility of the Company’s inland barge fleet should help insulate some of the decline in business activity. Opportunities for storage, product relocations, and upcoming lock maintenance projects should also help mitigate lower demand. The Company has also implemented cost saving measures, including reductions in the ~~mid-90% range during~~charter boat fleet, which represents approximately one-fourth of operating towboat capacity. The Company is also integrating and pursuing cost synergies with the year. Together with a full year of contribution from 2018 acquisitions, including Higman, Targa’s pressure barge business and CGBM’s tank barges, as well as the acquisition in March 2019 of Cenac’s marine transportation fleet, inland revenues and operating income are expected to increase during 2019. In the 2019 third quarter, better weather should yield improved operating efficiencies on contracts of affreightment. However, the recent hurricane and continued high water conditions on the Mississippi River will impact the 2019 third quarter. Overall, inland revenue and operating income in the 2019 third quarter are expected to increase slightly compared to the 2019 second quarter.newly acquired Savage fleet.

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company estimated there were approximately ~~3,850~~4,000 inland tank barges in the industry fleet, of which approximately 350 were over 30 years old and approximately ~~240~~260 of those over 40 years old. The Company estimates that approximately ~~200~~130 tank barges have been ordered for delivery throughout ~~2019~~2020 and many older tank barges, including an expected 1310 by the Company, will be retired, dependent on ~~2019~~2020 market conditions. Historically, 75 to 150 older inland tank barges are retired from service each year industry-wide, with the extent of the retirements dependent on petrochemical and refinery production levels, and crude oil and natural gas condensate movements, both of which can have a direct effect on industry-wide tank barge utilization, as well as term and spot contract rates.

In the coastal marine transportation market, although approximately 85% of revenues are under long-term contracts, the Company expects quarterly revenues and ~~operating income to improve compared to 2018, with coastal tank~~ barge utilization ~~increasing modestly into~~to decline in 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

During 2020, the Company expects to retire four aging coastal ATBs, three of which are large capacity vessels that would have required uneconomic ballast water management systems at their next shipyard date.

The petrochemical market, the Company’s largest market, contributed ~~54% and 55%~~51% of marine transportation revenues for the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, ~~and first six months, respectively,~~ reflecting continued stable volumes from Gulf Coast petrochemical plants for both domestic consumption and to terminals for export ~~destinations plus~~destinations. The decrease compared to the ~~addition~~2019 first quarter reflects a change in product mix as a result of the ~~Targa pressure barges~~purchase of the Cenac fleet in ~~May 2018.~~March 2019. Low priced domestic natural gas, a basic feedstock for the United States petrochemical industry, provides the industry with a competitive advantage relative to naphtha-based foreign petrochemical producers. In addition, favorable commodity prices and the addition of new petrochemical industry capacity during ~~2018~~2019 and the ~~2019~~2020 first ~~six months~~quarter benefited the market.

The black oil market, which contributed ~~24% and 23%~~26% of marine transportation revenues for the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, ~~and first six months, respectively,~~ reflected continued stable demand from steady refinery production levels and the export of refined petroleum products and fuel oils. The increase compared to the 2019 first quarter reflects a change in product mix as a result of the purchase of the Cenac fleet in March 2019. The Company continued to transport crude oil and natural gas condensate produced from the Eagle Ford and Permian Basin shale formations in Texas, both along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway with inland vessels and in the Gulf of Mexico with coastal equipment. Additionally, the Company transported increased volumes of Utica natural gas condensate downriver from the Mid-Atlantic to the Gulf Coast and Canadian and Bakken crude downriver from the Midwest to the Gulf Coast.

The refined petroleum products market, which contributed ~~19%~~20% of marine transportation revenues for ~~both~~ the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter ~~and first six months, respectively,~~ reflected ~~stable~~increased volumes in the inland market, ~~partially offset by reduced~~due in part to the acquisition of the Cenac fleet, and stable volumes in ~~coastal as a result of one barge retirement and the return of three leased barges which transported refined products.~~coastal.

The agricultural chemical market, which contributed 3% of marine transportation revenues for ~~both~~ the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, ~~and first six months, respectively,~~ saw typical seasonal demand for transportation of both domestically produced and imported products during the ~~first six months.~~quarter.

For the ~~second~~2020 first quarter, ~~of 2019,~~ the inland operations incurred ~~3,331~~4,490 delay days, ~~92% more~~3% fewer than the ~~1,735~~4,613 delay days that occurred during the ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter. ~~For the first six months of 2019, the inland operations incurred 7,944 delay days, 86% more than the 4,263 delay days that occurred during the first six months of 2018.~~ Delay days measure the lost time incurred by a tow (towboat and one or more tank barges) during transit when the tow is stopped due to weather, lock conditions, or other navigational factors. ~~The increase in delay~~Delay days for the 2020 and 2019 ~~second~~first quarter ~~and first six months compared to the 2018 second quarter and first six months~~ reflected ~~unusually~~ poor operating conditions ~~during the 2019 first six months~~ due to heavy fog and wind along the Gulf Coast, ~~extended periods of ice on the Illinois River, near record~~ high water conditions on the Mississippi River System, and closures of key waterways as a result of lock maintenance ~~projects~~projects.

Marine Transportation Costs and Expenses

Costs and expenses for ~~both~~ the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter ~~and first six months~~ increased ~~3% when~~6% compared with the ~~2018 second quarter and~~2019 first ~~six months.~~quarter. Costs of sales and operating expenses for ~~both~~ the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter ~~and first six months~~ increased 4%8% compared with the ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter, ~~and first six months,~~ primarily due to the addition of the ~~Higman fleet in February 2018 and the~~ Cenac fleet in March ~~2019 and higher fuel costs.~~2019.

The inland marine transportation fleet operated an average of ~~309~~311 towboats during the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter, of which an average of 7877 were chartered, compared with 286 during the ~~2018 second~~2019 first quarter, of which an average of 7481 were chartered. The increase was primarily due to the addition of inland towboats with the Cenac acquisition on March 14, 2019. Generally, as demand or anticipated demand increases or decreases, as new tank barges are added to the fleet, as chartered towboat availability changes, or as weather or water conditions dictate, the Company charters in or releases chartered towboats in an effort to balance horsepower needs with current requirements. The Company has historically used chartered towboats for approximately one-fourth of its horsepower requirements.

During ~~both~~ the ~~2019 and 2018 second quarters,~~2020 first quarter, the inland operations consumed 12.6 million gallons of diesel ~~fuel.~~fuel compared to 11.4 million gallons consumed during the 2019 first quarter. The average price per gallon of diesel fuel consumed during the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter was ~~$2.24~~$2.00 per gallon compared with ~~$2.10~~$1.93 per gallon for the ~~2018 second quarter. For the~~ 2019 first six months, the inland operations consumed 24.0 million gallons of diesel fuel compared to 23.9 million gallons consumed during the 2018 first six months. The average price per gallon of diesel fuel consumed during the 2019 first six months was $2.09 compared with $2.07 for the 2018 first six months.quarter. Fuel escalation and de-escalation clauses on term contracts are designed to rebate fuel costs when prices decline and recover additional fuel costs when fuel prices rise; however, there is generally a 30 to 90 day delay before ~~the~~ contracts are adjusted. Spot contracts do not have escalators for fuel.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~2019 second~~2020 first quarter ~~and first six months~~ decreased ~~1% and~~ 4%~~, respectively,~~ compared with the 2018 second quarter and first six months. The decrease was primarily due to transactions costs of $3,261,000, consisting primarily of legal, audit and other professional fees associated with the Higman acquisition and severance charges of $2,591,000 associated with the integration of Higman into the Company and further reduction in headcount in the coastal sector in order to manage costs, both of which were incurred in the 20182019 first quarter.

The 2028 Notes also specify certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the maturity of the notes may be accelerated, including failure to pay principal and interest, violation of covenants or default on other indebtedness, among others. March 31, 2020.

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt instruments.

~~Capital Expenditures Reflected on the Balance Sheet~~

~~Capital expenditures~~Form 10-K for the 2019 first six months were $121,891,000, including $16,380,000 for inland towboat construction, $11,370,000 for progress payments on three 5000 horsepower coastal ATB tugboats, $2,211,000 for final costs on a 155,000 barrel coastal ATB under construction purchased from another operator that was delivered to the Company in the 2018 fourth quarter, and $91,930,000 primarily for upgrading existing marine equipment and marine transportation and distribution and services facilities.

Financing of the construction of the inland towboats, coastal tugboats and the 155,000 barrel coastal ATB, plus upgrades of existing marine equipment and marine transportation and distribution and services facilities was through operating cash flows and available credit under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

During the 2019 first six months, the Company acquired 63 inland tank barges from Cenac with a total capacity of approximately 1,833,000 barrels, retired five inland tank barges, brought back into service four inland tank barges, and chartered two inland tank barges, increasing its capacity by approximately 78,000 barrels. The net result was an increase of 64 inland tank barges and approximately 1,911,000 barrels of capacity during the first six months ofyear ended December 31, 2019.

The Company projects that capital expenditures for 2019 will be in the $225,000,000 to $245,000,000 range. The 2019 construction program will consist of progress payments on the construction of 13 inland towboats, eight of which will be placed in service in 2019 and the remaining five in 2020 and 2021, and progress payments on the construction of three 5000 horsepower coastal ATB tugboats to be placed in service in 2019. Based on current commitments, steel prices and projected delivery schedules, the Company’s 2019 progress payments on the new inland towboats will be approximately $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 and 2019 progress payments on the construction of the three 5000 horsepower coastal ATB tugboats will be approximately $20,000,000. Approximately $155,000,000 to $165,000,000 is primarily capital upgrades and improvements to existing marine equipment and facilities. The balance of $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 will be for rental fleet growth, new machinery and equipment, and facilities improvements in the distribution and services segment.

~~Funding for future capital expenditures is expected to be provided through operating cash flows and available credit under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.~~

Treasury Stock Purchases

The Company did not purchase any treasury stock during the ~~2019~~2020 first ~~six months.~~quarter. As of ~~August 1, 2019,~~May 7, 2020, the Company had approximately 1,400,000 shares available under its existing repurchase authorization. Historically, treasury stock purchases have been financed through operating cash flows and ~~borrowing~~borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is authorized to purchase its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange and in privately negotiated transactions. When purchasing its common stock, the Company is subject to price, trading volume and other market considerations. Shares purchased may be used for reissuance upon the exercise of stock options or the granting of other forms of incentive compensation, in future acquisitions for stock or for other appropriate corporate purposes.

Liquidity

The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of ~~$188,197,000 in~~$71,501,000 and $38,529,000 for the 2020 and 2019 first ~~six months compared with $153,755,000 for the 2018 first six months.~~quarters, respectively. The increase was driven by increased revenues and operating income in the marine transportation segment driven by the ~~acquisitions of the Higman fleet in February 2018, the Targa fleet in May 2018, the CGBM barges in December 2018, and the~~ Cenac ~~fleet~~acquisition in March 2019 ~~as well as improved~~and increased inland and coastal ~~barge utilization and~~ pricing. The ~~increase~~improvement was also due to ~~a net increase in cash flows from the change~~changes in operating assets and liabilities ~~of $10,364,000 due~~primarily related to ~~decrease~~reduced incentive compensation payouts in ~~inventories~~the 2020 first quarter and smaller increases in trade accounts receivable, partially offset by reduced business activity levels in the oil and gas market of the distribution and services ~~segment in the 2019 first six months compared to an increase in the 2018 first six months.~~segment.

Funds generated from operations are available for acquisitions, capital expenditure projects, common stock repurchases, repayments of borrowings, and for other corporate and operating requirements. In addition to net cash ~~flow~~flows provided by operating activities, as of May 7, 2020, the Company also had ~~available as~~cash equivalents of ~~August 1, 2019, $823,145,000~~$73,818,000, availability of $359,637,000 under its Revolving Credit Facility, and $8,829,000 available under its Credit Line.

Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, is obligated on any debt instrument, swap agreement, or any other financial instrument or commercial contract which has a rating trigger, except for the pricing grid on its Credit Agreement.

The Company expects to continue to fund expenditures for acquisitions, capital construction projects, common stock repurchases, repayment of borrowings, and for other operating requirements from a combination of available cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from operating activities and available financing arrangements.

The Revolving Credit Facility’s commitment is in the amount of $850,000,000 and expires March 27, 2024. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company had ~~$740,753,000~~$359,637,000 available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The ~~Senior Notes Series A and Senior Notes Series B~~3.29% senior unsecured notes do not mature until February 27, ~~2020 and February 27,~~ 2023 ~~respectively,~~ and require no prepayments. The ~~2028 Notes~~4.2% senior unsecured notes do not mature until March 1, 2028 and require no prepayments. The outstanding balance of the Term Loan is subject to quarterly ~~amortization, beginning June~~installments, currently scheduled to commence September 30, ~~2020, in increasing percentages of the original principal amount of the loan,~~2023, with ~~the remaining unpaid balance payable of 65% of the initial amount~~$343,750,000 due on March 27, 2024. The Term Loan is prepayable, in whole or in part, without penalty.

There are numerous factors that may negatively impact the Company’s cash ~~flow~~flows in ~~2019.~~2020. For a list of significant risks and uncertainties that could impact cash flows, see Item 1A — Risk Factors below and Note ~~14,~~15, Contingencies, in the financial statements, and Item 1A — Risk Factors and Note 15, Contingencies and Commitments, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Amounts available under the Company’s existing financial arrangements are subject to the Company continuing to meet the covenants of the credit facilities as described in Item 2,7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under Long-Term ~~Financing.~~Financing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company has issued guaranties or obtained standby letters of credit and performance bonds supporting performance by the Company and its subsidiaries of contractual or contingent legal obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business. The aggregate notional value of these instruments is ~~$18,795,000~~$23,219,000 at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, including ~~$7,061,000~~$11,344,000 in letters of credit and ~~$11,734,000~~$11,875,000 in performance bonds. All of these instruments have an expiration date within two years. The Company does not believe demand for payment under these instruments is likely and expects no material cash outlays to occur in connection with these instruments.

All marine transportation term contracts contain fuel escalation clauses, or the customer pays for the fuel. However, there is generally a 30 to 90 day delay before contracts are adjusted depending on the specific contract. In general, the fuel escalation clauses are effective over the long-term in allowing the Company to recover changes in fuel costs due to fuel price changes. However, the short-term effectiveness of the fuel escalation clauses can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, specific terms of the fuel escalation formulas, fuel price volatility, navigating conditions, tow sizes, trip routing, and the location of loading and discharge ports that may result in the Company over or under recovering its fuel costs. Spot contract rates generally reflect current fuel prices at the time the contract is signed but do not have escalators for fuel.

During the last three years, inflation has had a relatively minor effect on the financial results of the Company. The marine transportation segment has long-term contracts which generally contain cost escalation clauses whereby certain costs, including fuel as noted above, can be passed through to its customers. Spot contract rates include the cost of fuel and are subject to market volatility. The repair portion of the distribution and services segment is based on prevailing current market rates.

~~Item 3.~~

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to risk from changes in interest rates on certain of its outstanding debt. The outstanding loan balances under the Company’s bank credit facilities bear interest at variable rates based on prevailing short-term interest rates in the United States and Europe. A 10% change in variable interest rates would impact the ~~2019~~2020 interest expense by ~~$507,000~~$206,000 based on balances outstanding at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, and would change the fair value of the Company’s debt by less than 1%.

~~Item 4.~~

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and ~~Procedures.~~Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in ~~Rules~~Rule 13a-15(e) ~~and 15d-15(e)~~ under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ~~as amended~~ (“Exchange Act”)) ~~are designed~~, as of March 31, 2020, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that ~~are filed~~it files or ~~submitted~~submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms ~~of the Securities~~ and ~~Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information required to be disclosed~~(ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including ~~principal executive~~the Chief Executive Officer and ~~financial officers,~~the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with assistance from other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019 and, based on their evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial ~~Reporting.~~ Reporting. During the first quarter of 2020, certain distribution and services branch locations completed the preparation and implementation of a series of changes to their financial reporting systems and processes. Certain other distribution and services branch locations are expected to complete similar implementations in future periods throughout 2020. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

~~Remediation Plan~~. As previously described in Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company began implementing a remediation plan and removed all inappropriate privileged access rights as of March 31, 2019. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing of the affected Information Technology operating systems, databases and applications, that these controls are operating effectively. The Company expects that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed during 2019.

~~Item 1A.~~

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Widespread health developments and economic uncertainty resulting from the recent global COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2019, COVID-19 surfaced in Wuhan, China. In response to the resulting pandemic, various countries, including the United States, have either mandated or recommended business closures, travel restrictions or limitations, social distancing, and/or self-quarantine, among other actions. Additionally, various state and local governments in locations where the Company operates have taken similar actions. The full impact and duration of the outbreak is unknown and the situation is rapidly evolving as some governments are in the early stages of removing or easing these actions, but there has been a negative impact on the global and United States economies, including the oil and gas industry, which has reduced demand for the Company’s products and services. The extent and duration of these impacts is unknown at this time.

These impacts could place limitations on the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan and materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company continues to ~~be subject~~monitor the situation, has actively implemented policies and procedures to address the situation, including its pandemic response plan and business continuity plan, and has taken steps to reduce costs. As the pandemic continues to further unfold, the Company may adjust its current policies and procedures as government mandates or recommendations change or as more information and guidance become available. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, any of which could have a material effect on the Company. This situation is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.

There have been no other material changes that the Company is aware of from the risk factors previously disclosed in its “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.
