HONOLULU, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Matson, Inc. ("Matson" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $85.6 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.  Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $15.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was $700.1 million compared with $540.7 million for the fourth quarter 2019.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, Matson reported net income of $193.1 million, or $4.44 per diluted share compared with $82.7 million, or $1.91 per diluted share in 2019.  Consolidated revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2020 was $2,383.3 million, compared with $2,203.1 million in 2019.

"Matson capped off a strong year with continued solid performance in the fourth quarter from Ocean Transportation and Logistics despite the ongoing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic effects," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Matt Cox.  "Within Ocean Transportation, our China service saw significant demand for its CLX and CLX+ expedited ocean services and was the primary driver of the increase in consolidated operating income year-over-year for the quarter and the full year.  We continued to see favorable supply and demand dynamics in the transpacific tradelane during the fourth quarter, and we continue to expect largely all of these trends to remain favorable in the first half of 2021 as the pandemic persists.  As the pandemic subsides with widespread vaccination, we expect some of the supply and demand factors that we are currently benefitting from to remain and continue to drive demand for our CLX and CLX+ services."  

Mr. Cox added, "In our other core tradelanes for the fourth quarter, we continued to see elevated demand for sustenance and home improvement goods lead to higher year-over-year volume growth in Hawaii, Alaska and Guam.  For the full year 2020, Hawaii and Guam volume approached the levels achieved in the year ago period despite the economic challenges from the pandemic, and Alaska volume was modestly higher than the level achieved in the full year 2019.  Logistics operating income for the fourth quarter increased year-over-year as a result of elevated goods consumption and inventory restocking and tight supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.  For the full year 2020, Logistics operating income was modestly lower compared to the level achieved in the full year 2019 largely due to the pandemic's impacts on the business lines in the first half of the year."

Fourth Quarter 2020 Discussion and Update on Business Conditions

Ocean Transportation:  The Company's container volume in the Hawaii service in the fourth quarter 2020 was 0.8 percent higher year-over-year primarily due to an additional westbound sailing and higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods, partially offset by lower tourism activity as a result of the pandemic.  The State of Hawaii eased visitor travel restrictions to the islands in October and saw an improvement in the daily passenger counts, but tourism activity remained significantly below the levels achieved in the prior year period.  Tourism levels are expected to remain low until the pandemic subsides and to have a meaningfully negative impact on Hawaii's economy.  

In China, the Company's container volume in the fourth quarter 2020 was 139.1 percent higher year-over-year due to volume from the CLX+ service in addition to higher volume on the CLX service as a result of our increased capacity in the tradelane.  Matson continued to realize a rate premium in the fourth quarter 2020 and achieved average freight rates that were higher than in the year ago period.  The Company expects elevated consumption of e-commerce and other commodities coupled with other supply and demand factors in the tradelane to largely remain favorable in the first half of 2021 as the pandemic persists.  As the pandemic subsides with widespread vaccination, we expect some of the supply and demand factors that we are currently benefitting from to remain and continue to drive demand for our CLX and CLX+ services.   

In Guam, the Company's container volume in the fourth quarter 2020 increased 4.2 percent year-over-year primarily due to higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods, partially offset by lower tourism activity as a result of the pandemic.  In the near-term, we expect depressed tourism levels to have a negative impact on the Guam economy.

In Alaska, the Company's container volume for the fourth quarter 2020 increased 18.9 percent year-over-year as a result of higher northbound volume primarily due to two additional sailings and higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods, and modestly higher southbound volume.  The Alaska economy continues to be negatively impacted by the economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and a low oil price environment.  In the near-term, we expect the economy to slowly recover, but remain challenged until the pandemic subsides.    

The contribution in the fourth quarter 2020 from the Company's SSAT joint venture investment was $10.9 million, or $7.9 million higher than the fourth quarter 2019.  The increase was driven by higher lift volume.    

Logistics:  In the fourth quarter 2020, operating income for the Company's Logistics segment was $9.6 million, or $2.0 million higher compared to the operating income achieved in the fourth quarter 2019.  The increase was due primarily to a higher contribution from transportation brokerage as a result of elevated goods consumption and inventory restocking and tight supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $127.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2019.  The increase was primarily due to higher freight revenue in the China service, including revenue associated with the CLX+ service, and higher service revenue in Alaska, partially offset by lower fuel-related surcharge revenue. 

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume increased 0.8 percent primarily due to an additional westbound sailing and higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods, partially offset by lower tourism activity as a result of the pandemic; Alaska volume increased 18.9 percent as a result of higher northbound volume primarily due to two additional sailings and higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods, and modestly higher southbound volume; China volume was 139.1 percent higher primarily due to volume from the CLX+ service in addition to higher volume on the CLX service as a result of our increased capacity in the tradelane; Guam volume was 4.2 percent higher primarily due to higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods, partially offset by lower tourism activity as a result of the pandemic; and Other containers volume increased 16.7 percent.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $90.3 million, or 507.3 percent, during the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2019.  The increase was primarily due to a higher contribution from the China service, including the contribution from the CLX+ service, the timing of fuel-related surcharge collections, a higher contribution from SSAT and a higher contribution from the Alaska service, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.   

The Company's SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $10.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to a contribution of $3.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019.  The increase was driven by higher lift volume.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $187.3 million, or 11.2 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with the year ended December 31, 2019.  The increase was primarily due to higher freight revenue in the China service, including revenue associated with the CLX+ service, partially offset by lower fuel-related surcharge revenue and lower revenue in Hawaii.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased 0.6 percent primarily due to lower volume as a result of the pandemic and its effects on tourism, partially offset by volume associated with the dry-docking of one of Pasha's vessels in the second quarter and higher demand for sustenance and home improvement goods; Alaska volume increased by 4.6 percent primarily due to higher northbound volume, including volume associated with the dry-docking of a competitor's vessel and one additional sailing, partially offset by modestly lower southbound volume; China volume was 85.8 percent higher primarily due to volume from the CLX+ service in addition to higher volume on the CLX service as a result of our increased capacity in the tradelane; Guam volume was 2.6 percent lower primarily due to lower demand for retail-related goods resulting from the pandemic and its related effects; and Other container volume increased 3.6 percent.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $154.0 million, or 169.6 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with the year ended December 31, 2019.  The increase was primarily due to a higher contribution from the China service, including the contribution from the CLX+ service, and lower vessel operating costs, including the impact of one less vessel operating in the Hawaii service, partially offset by a lower contribution from the Hawaii service.

The Company's SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $26.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a contribution of $20.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.  The increase was largely attributable to lower operating costs.

(1)

Total Debt is presented before any reduction for deferred loan fees as required by GAAP.

(2)

EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income plus income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization (including deferred dry-docking amortization).  EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity.  Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA as calculated by other companies, nor is this calculation identical to the EBITDA used by our lenders to determine financial covenant compliance.
