MATSON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANICAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Matson, Inc., a holding company incorporated in the State of Hawaii, and its subsidiaries (“Matson” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of ocean transportation and logistics services. The Company consists of two segments, Ocean Transportation and Logistics:

Ocean Transportation: Matson’s Ocean Transportation business is conducted through Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (“MatNav”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, Inc. Founded in 1882, MatNav provides a vital lifeline of ocean freight transportation services to the domestic non-contiguous economies of Hawaii, Alaska and Guam, and to other island economies in Micronesia. MatNav also operates premium, expedited services primarily from China to Long Beach, California, and provides services to Okinawa, Japan and various islands in the South Pacific, and operates an international export service from Dutch Harbor, Alaska to Asia. In addition, subsidiaries of MatNav provide stevedoring, refrigerated cargo services, inland transportation and other terminal services for MatNav and other ocean carriers on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, and in the Alaska locations of Anchorage, Kodiak and Dutch Harbor.

Matson has a 35 percent ownership interest in SSA Terminals, LLC, a joint venture between Matson Ventures, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav, and SSA Ventures, Inc., a subsidiary of Carrix, Inc. (“SSAT”). SSAT currently provides terminal and stevedoring services to various carriers at eight terminal facilities on the U.S. West Coast, including three facilities dedicated for MatNav’s use. Matson records its share of income from SSAT in costs and expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, and within the Ocean Transportation segment due to the nature of SSAT’s operations.

Logistics: Matson’s Logistics business is conducted through Matson Logistics, Inc. (“Matson Logistics”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav. Established in 1987, Matson Logistics extends the geographic reach of Matson’s transportation network throughout North America and Asia, and is an asset-light business that provides a variety of logistics services to its customers including: (i) multimodal transportation brokerage of domestic and international rail intermodal services, long-haul and regional highway trucking services, specialized hauling, flat-bed and project services, less-than-truckload services, and expedited freight services (collectively, “Transportation Brokerage” services); (ii) less-than-container load (“LCL”) consolidation and freight forwarding services (collectively, “Freight Forwarding” services); (iii) warehousing, trans-loading, value-added packaging and distribution services (collectively, “Warehousing” services); and (iv) supply chain management, non-vessel operating common carrier (“NVOCC”) freight forwarding and other services.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, and include the accounts of Matson, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany amounts and transactions. Significant investments in businesses, partnerships, and limited liability companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company accounts for its investment in SSAT using the equity method of accounting.

Due to the nature of the Company’s operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2022.

Table of Contents

Fiscal Period: The period end for Matson covered by this report is June 30, 2022. The period end for MatNav and its subsidiaries covered by this report occurred on July 1, 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: impairment of investments; impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill; capitalized interest; allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables; legal contingencies; insurance reserves and other related liabilities; accrual estimates; pension and post-retirement estimates; multi-employer withdrawal liabilities; operating lease assets and liabilities; income from SSAT; and income taxes. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Recognition of Revenues and Expenses: Revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is presented net of elimination of intercompany transactions. The following is a description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities by segment, and the Company’s revenue recognition policy for each activity for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
Ocean Transportation (in millions) (1)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Ocean Transportation services	$	1,040.2	$	674.4	$	1,976.9	$	1,228.6
Terminal and other related services		4.7		4.9		8.4		7.7
Fuel sales		2.8		1.8		4.7		3.2
Vessel management and related services		1.5		1.8		3.1		3.9
Total	$	1,049.2	$	682.9	$	1,993.1	$	1,243.4

(1)	Ocean Transportation revenue transactions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars except for less than 3 percent of Ocean Transportation services revenue and fuel sales revenue categories which are denominated in foreign currencies.

◾

Ocean Transportation services revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of a voyage based on the relative transit time completed in each reporting period. Vessel operating costs and other ocean transportation operating costs, such as terminal operating overhead and selling, general and administrative expenses, are charged to operating costs as incurred.

◾	Terminal and other related services revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Related costs are recognized as incurred.

◾	Fuel sales revenue and related costs are recognized when the Company has completed delivery of the product to the customer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract.

◾	Vessel management and related services revenue is recognized in proportion to the services completed. Related costs are recognized as incurred.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
Logistics (in millions) (1)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Transportation Brokerage and Freight Forwarding services	$	184.4	$	174.5	$	379.3	$	309.8
Warehousing and distribution services		13.8		10.4		25.9		19.6
Supply chain management and other services		13.7		7.1		28.3		13.9
Total	$	211.9	$	192.0	$	433.5	$	343.3

(1)	Logistics revenue transactions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars except for approximately 6.5 percent of transportation brokerage and freight forwarding services revenue, and supply chain management and other services revenue categories which are denominated in foreign currencies.

◾

Transportation Brokerage and Freight Forwarding services revenue consists of amounts billed to customers for services provided. The primary costs include third-party purchased transportation services, agent commissions, labor and equipment. Revenue and the related purchased third-party transportation costs are recognized over the duration of a delivery based upon the relative transit time completed in each reporting period. Labor, agent

Table of Contents

commissions, and other operating costs are expensed as incurred. The Company reports revenue on a gross basis as the Company serves as the principal in these transactions because it is responsible for fulfilling the contractual arrangements with the customer and has latitude in establishing prices.

◾

Warehousing and distribution services revenue consist of amounts billed to customers for storage, handling, and value-added packaging of customer merchandise. Storage revenue is recognized in the month the service is provided to the customer. Storage related costs are recognized as incurred. Other warehousing and distribution services revenue and related costs are recognized in proportion to the services performed.

◾	Supply chain management and other services revenue, and related costs are recognized in proportion to the services performed.

The Company generally invoices its customers at the commencement of the voyage or the transportation service being provided, or as other services are being performed. Revenue is deferred when services are invoiced in advance to the customer. The Company’s receivables are classified as short-term as collection terms are for periods of less than one year. The Company expenses sales commissions and contract acquisition costs as incurred because the amounts are generally immaterial. These expenses are included in selling, general and administration expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Capital Construction Fund: The Company’s Capital Construction Fund (“CCF”) is described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $9.8 million of eligible accounts receivable was assigned to the CCF. Due to the nature of the assignment of eligible accounts receivable into the CCF, such assigned amounts are classified as part of accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash on deposit in the CCF is held in a money market account and classified as a long-term asset in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the Company intends to use qualified cash withdrawals to fund long-term investment in the construction of new vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company deposited $10.7 million and $31.2 million into the CCF and made qualifying cash withdrawals of $10.7 million and $31.2 million from the CCF, respectively. The balance of cash on deposit at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was nominal.

Reportable segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.

The Company consists of two reportable segments, Ocean Transportation and Logistics, which are further described in Note 1. Reportable segments are measured based on operating income. In arrangements where the customer purchases ocean transportation and logistics services, the revenues are allocated to each reportable segment based upon the contractual amounts for each type of service. The Company’s SSAT segment has been aggregated into the Company’s Ocean Transportation segment due to the operations of SSAT being an integral part of the Company’s Ocean Transportation business.

The Company’s Ocean Transportation segment provides ocean transportation services to the Logistics segment, and the Logistics segment provides logistics services to the Ocean Transportation segment in certain transactions. Accordingly, inter-segment revenue of $69.2 million and $49.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $142.4 million and $82.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, have been eliminated from operating revenues in the table below.

Reportable segment financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

The Company evaluates its goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company has reporting units within the Ocean Transportation and Logistics reportable segments. The Company considered the general economic and market conditions and its impact on the performance of each of the Company’s reporting units. Based on the Company’s assessment of its market capitalization, future forecasts and the amount of excess of fair value over the carrying value of the reporting units in the 2021 annual impairment tests, the Company concluded that an impairment triggering event did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company will monitor events and changes in circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining the fair value, including the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows generated by the reporting units, long-term growth and discount rates, comparable company market valuations, and industry and economic trends. It is possible that future changes in such circumstances, including future changes in the assumptions and estimates used in assessing the fair value of the reporting unit, could require the Company to record a non-cash impairment charge.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company values its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques for fair value measurements. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. If the technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.

The Company uses Level 1 inputs for the fair values of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and Level 2 inputs for its variable and fixed rate debt. The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and variable rate debt approximate their carrying values due to the nature of the instruments. The fair value of fixed rate debt is calculated based upon interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:


					Quoted Prices in		Significant		Significant
	Total				Active Markets		Observable		Unobservable
	Carrying Value		Total		(Level 1)		Inputs (Level 2)		Inputs (Level 3)

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of unexercised non-qualified stock options and non-vested restricted stock units. The computation of weighted average common shares outstanding excluded a nominal amount of anti-dilutive non-qualified stock options for each period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company granted time-based restricted stock units and performance-based shares to certain of its employees totaling approximately 12,400 and 180,500 shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $93.32 and $100.83 per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Total share-based compensation cost recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses was $5.8 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $10.5 million and $9.5 million for the six month ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements was $33.9 million at June 30, 2022, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost may be adjusted for any unearned performance shares or forfeited shares.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters: The Company’s Ocean Transportation business has certain risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. Except as described below, the Company believes that based on all information available to it, the Company is currently in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

On November 10, 2021, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) to Matson for alleged violations of the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Auxiliary Diesel Engines Operated on Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth in a California Port pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 93118.3. CARB regulations require that a company’s fleet plug into shore power for at least 80 percent of visits at California ports and reduce auxiliary engine power generation by at least 80 percent. The NOV alleges that Matson’s fleet did not meet the 80 percent thresholds during visits to the Port of Long Beach in 2020. The violations were alleged to have been incurred by chartered vessels in the CLX+ service. These chartered vessels were not outfitted with alternative maritime power capability which would have allowed them to plug into the shore power grid and shut down the vessel diesel generators when at dock. The Company has presented mitigating factors for consideration in settlement discussions with CARB, as well as plans to achieve compliance in 2022. Although potential penalties for 2020, 2021 and 2022 violations could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to exceed $1 million, they are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other Matters: The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to, or may be contingently liable in connection with other legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

SECOND QUARTER 2022 DISCUSSION AND UPDATE ON BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the second quarter 2022 was 1.5 percent lower year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to lower retail-related demand. During the quarter, we saw continued improvement in the Hawaii economy supported by strong domestic tourist arrivals and a modest improvement in international tourist trends. In the near-term, we expect continued economic recovery in Hawaii from the pandemic supported by an improving unemployment rate and increasing tourism traffic, but there are negative trends from a combination of economic effects that create uncertainty in the economic growth trajectory. The negative trends include weakening economic conditions in the U.S. and global economies and lower household discretionary income as a result of high inflation, higher interest rates and the end of the pandemic-era stimulus helping personal income.

In China, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2022 increased 11.7 percent year-over-year. The increase was a result of four more eastbound voyages than the prior year. Volume demand in the quarter was driven by e-commerce, garments and other goods. Matson continued to realize a significant rate premium over the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index in the second quarter 2022 and achieved average freight rates that were considerably higher

than in the year ago period. Currently in the Transpacific tradelane, we are seeing solid demand for our China service as China’s factory production continues to recover from the COVID-19-related supply chain challenges. However, in recent weeks we have seen a gradual decline in the Transpacific freight rate environment off the highs experienced earlier this year. This indicates that rates have likely peaked for now, and, at this time, we expect an orderly marketplace for the remainder of the year with our vessels continuing to operate at or near capacity and earning a significant rate premium to the market because of our differentiated, fast ocean services. To this end, we continue to expect to operate the CCX service through the October peak season this year.

In Guam, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2022 decreased 7.0 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower retail-related demand. In the near-term, we expect the Guam economy to continue to benefit from a recovery in tourism, but there are negative trends as a result of higher inflation, higher interest rates and the end of the pandemic-era stimulus helping personal income that creates uncertainty in the economic growth trajectory.

In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the second quarter 2022 increased 12.2 percent year-over-year primarily due to (i) higher northbound volume primarily due to higher retail-related demand and an additional sailing and (ii) higher volume from Alaska-Asia Express (“AAX”). In the near-term, we expect the Alaska economy to benefit from the resumption of summer tourism and increased energy-related exploration and production activity as a result of elevated oil prices, but there are negative trends as a result of higher inflation, higher interest rates and the end of the pandemic-era stimulus helping personal income that creates uncertainty in the economic growth trajectory.

The contribution in the second quarter 2022 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $24.7 million, or $11.9 million higher than the second quarter 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher other terminal revenue.

Logistics: In the second quarter 2022, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $23.1 million, or $10.2 million higher compared to the level achieved in the second quarter 2021. The increase was due primarily to higher contributions from all services as we continued to see favorable supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $366.3 million, or 53.6 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in China and higher fuel-related surcharge revenue primarily due to higher energy prices. The higher revenue in China was primarily due to considerably higher average freight rates and higher volume.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased 1.5 percent primarily due to lower retail-related volume; Alaska volume increased 12.2 percent primarily due to (i) higher northbound volume primarily due to higher retail-related demand and an additional sailing and (ii) higher volume from AAX; China volume was 11.7 percent higher as a result of four more eastbound voyages than the prior year; Guam volume was 7.0 percent lower primarily due to lower retail-related demand; and Other containers volume increased 19.2 percent primarily due to the addition of China-Auckland Express volume in the South Pacific.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $269.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to considerably higher average freight rates and higher volume in China and a higher contribution from SSAT, partially offset by higher fuel-related expenses, net of fuel-related surcharge recovery, and higher operating costs and expenses primarily due to the CLX+ and CCX services.

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $24.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a contribution of $12.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher other terminal revenue.
