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 from China to Long Beach, California, provides services to Okinawa, Japan and various islands in the South Pacific, and operates an international export service from ports in Alaska to Asia. In addition, subsidiaries of MatNav provide stevedoring, refrigerated cargo services, inland transportation and other terminal services for MatNav on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, and for MatNav and other ocean carriers in Alaska.

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. GENERAL AND 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, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 24, 2023.

Table of Contents

Fiscal Period: The period end for Matson covered by this report is September 30, 2023. The period end for MatNav and its subsidiaries covered by this report is September 29, 2023.

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, 2022.

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 (loss) from SSAT; and income taxes. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets: Prepaid expenses and other assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	September 30,		December 31,

Prepaid leases		5.4		4.8
Restricted cash - vessel construction obligations		3.9		3.9

Total	$	174.1	$	241.3

Income tax receivables include an expected federal income tax refund related to the Company’s 2021 federal tax return and other income tax receivables, offset by current federal income tax payables.

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				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
Ocean Transportation (in millions) (1)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Ocean Transportation services	$	654.3	$	908.4	$	1,799.6	$	2,885.3
Terminal and other related services		10.8		5.4		24.3		13.8
Fuel sales		2.7		3.2		8.4		7.9

Total	$	669.4	$	918.5	$	1,837.3	$	2,911.6

(1)	Ocean Transportation revenue transactions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars except for less than 3 percent of Ocean Transportation revenues 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.

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
Logistics (in millions) (1)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Transportation Brokerage and Freight Forwarding services	$	138.6	$	169.2	$	415.8	$	548.5
Warehousing and distribution services		11.9		15.5		31.5		41.4
Supply chain management and other services		7.6		11.6		21.1		39.9
Total	$	158.1	$	196.3	$	468.4	$	629.8

(1)	Logistics revenue transactions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars except for less than 3 percent of Logistics revenues 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 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 administrative 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, 2022. A summary of the CCF cash account for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:

Capitalized Interest: The Company capitalizes interest costs during the period the qualified assets are being readied for their intended use. The Company determined that the vessel construction costs are considered qualifying assets for the purposes of capitalizing interest on these assets. Capitalized interest is determined based on the number of payments incurred related to the construction of these vessels using a weighted average interest rate. The weighted average interest rate is determined using the Company’s average borrowings outstanding during the period. Capitalized interest is included in vessel construction in progress in property and equipment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 4). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company capitalized $0.8 million and $1.7 million of interest related to the construction of new vessels, respectively. There was no capitalized interest during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized $0.4 million of interest related to the construction of new vessels.

3. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

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 $61.1 million and $78.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and $155.6 million and $220.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, have been eliminated from operating revenues in the table below.

On February 27, 2023, the Company completed an asset acquisition consisting of customer relationship intangible assets for $16.5 million, which are being amortized over seven years.

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 2022 annual impairment tests, the Company concluded that an impairment triggering event did not occur during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

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.

Table of Contents

The Company uses Level 1 inputs for the fair values of its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash in the CCF, and Level 2 inputs for its variable and fixed rate debt. The fair values of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash on deposit in the CCF, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:


					Quoted Prices in		Significant		Significant
	Total				Active Markets		Observable		Unobservable

THIRD QUARTER 2023 DISCUSSION AND UPDATE ON BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the third quarter 2023 was 1.9 percent lower year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to lower general demand. In August, Maui experienced a significant economic disruption from devastating wildfires. According to UHERO’s most recent economic report, tourism to the island may not fully recover in the next several years, and the rebuilding of homes and businesses may take many years. In the near-term, Matson expects economic growth in Hawaii to moderate as tourism and visitor arrivals slowly rebound from the effects of the Maui wildfires.

In China, the Company’s container volume in the third quarter 2023 decreased 1.3 percent year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to CCX volume in the third quarter 2022 (the CCX service was discontinued in the third quarter 2022) partially offset by higher volume in the CLX+ service. Matson continued to realize a significant rate premium over the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (“SCFI”) in the third quarter 2023 but achieved average freight rates that were lower than in the year ago period. Currently in the Transpacific marketplace, the Company continues to see a reduction of deployed capacity in light of lower volumes as a result of lower consumer demand for retail goods. Absent an

economic ‘hard landing’ in the U.S., the Company expects trade dynamics in 2024 to be comparable to 2023 as consumer-related spending activity is expected to remain stable. Regardless of the economic backdrop, Matson expects to continue to earn a significant rate premium to the SCFI reflecting its fast and reliable ocean services and unmatched destination services.

In Guam, the Company’s container volume in the third quarter 2023 decreased 1.9 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand. In the near-term, the Company expects continued improvement in the Guam economy with a low unemployment rate and a modest increase in tourism from low levels.

In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the third quarter 2023 decreased 9.1 percent year-over-year due to (i) lower export seafood volume from the Alaska-Asia Express service (“AAX”), (ii) lower northbound volume due to lower retail-related demand and (iii) lower southbound volume due to lower domestic seafood volume. In the near-term, the Company expects the Alaska economy to continue to benefit from low unemployment and increased energy-related exploration and production activity as a result of elevated oil prices.

The contribution in the third quarter 2023 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $1.3 million, or $22.1 million lower than the third quarter 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demurrage revenue and lower lift volume.

Logistics: In the third quarter 2023, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $13.9 million, or $6.2 million lower compared to the level achieved in the third quarter 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from transportation brokerage.

Cash on deposit in the CCF is invested in a U.S. Treasury obligations fund with daily liquidity. At September 30, 2023, securities held within this fund had a weighted average life of 44 days.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company pledged $200.0 million of accounts receivable into the CCF. Assigned accounts receivable in the CCF are classified as part of accounts receivable on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets due to the nature of the assignment.

Debt: Total Debt as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
(In millions)	2023		2022		Change
Fixed interest debt	$	450.3	$	517.5	$	(67.2)
Total Debt	$	450.3	$	517.5	$	(67.2)

Total Debt decreased by $67.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in fixed interest debt was due to prepayments of $26.4 million of outstanding principal of Title XI debt, and scheduled repayments of private placement term loans and Title XI debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $642.6 million of remaining borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility, with a maturity date of March 31, 2026. The Company’s debt is described in Note 6 of Part I, Item 1 above.

Working Capital: The Company had a working capital surplus of $65.2 million and $178.0 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Working capital is primarily impacted by the amount of net cash provided by operating activities, the amount of capital expenditures, the timing of collections associated with accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, and by the amount and timing of payments associated with accounts payable, accruals, income taxes and other liabilities. The decrease in working capital surplus at September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to the decrease in cash generated from operating activities, and cash deposited into the CCF during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Capital Expenditures: There were no material changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to the Company’s expected capital expenditures for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024 that are described in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
