HONOLULU, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Matson, Inc. ("Matson" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $394.5 million, or $9.39 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.  Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $85.6 million, or $1.96 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter 2021 was $1,267.0 million compared with $700.1 million for the fourth quarter 2020.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, Matson reported net income of $927.4 million, or $21.47 per diluted share compared with $193.1 million, or $4.44 per diluted share in 2020.  Consolidated revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2021 was $3,925.3 million, compared with $2,383.3 million in 2020.

"Matson finished off a strong year with continued improvement in economic and business trends in our markets driving solid performance in both Ocean Transportation and Logistics," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Matt Cox.  "Within Ocean Transportation, our China service continued to see significant demand for its expedited ocean services as volume for e-commerce, garments and other goods remained elevated.  Continued strong demand for the China service was the primary driver of the increase in consolidated operating income year-over-year.  Supply chain congestion remains the current issue in the Transpacific tradelane due to ongoing elevated consumption trends, U.S. domestic supply chain constraints, and inventory restocking.  For 2022, we expect these conditions to remain largely in place through at least the October peak season and expect elevated demand for our China service for most of the year."

Mr. Cox added, "In our domestic ocean tradelanes, we continued to see strong demand with higher year-over-year volumes, including the benefit of an extra week, compared to the largely pandemic-reduced volumes in the year ago period.  In Hawaii, we experienced elevated westbound freight demand as the state's tourism and economy continued to rebound from the pandemic lows and the slowdown in tourism at the beginning of the quarter as a result of the state's efforts to address the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant.  In Logistics, operating income increased year-over-year compared to the operating income achieved in the year ago period as we continued to see elevated goods consumption, inventory restocking and favorable supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets."

Fourth Quarter 2021 Discussion and Update on Business Conditions

Ocean Transportation:  The Company's container volume in the Hawaii service in the fourth quarter 2021 was 10.4 percent higher year-over-year.  The increase was primarily due to (i) higher retail- and hospitality-related demand due to the continued rebound in tourism and the Hawaii economy and (ii) the benefit of an extra week, compared to the pandemic-reduced volume in the year ago period.  Volume in the fourth quarter 2020 was negatively impacted by the state's COVID-19 mitigation efforts, including restrictions on tourism.  Tourism and the Hawaii economy continued to rebound in the fourth quarter 2021 despite a softening in airline passenger traffic early in the quarter due to the state's efforts to address the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant.  In the near-term, we are cautiously optimistic on further economic recovery in Hawaii primarily due to improvement in the unemployment rate and increasing tourism traffic, including international visitors later in the year, but incremental waves of COVID-19 variants present the possibility of further economic slowdowns.   

In China, the Company's container volume in the fourth quarter 2021 increased 32.7 percent year-over-year.  The increase was primarily due to volume from the China-California Express ("CCX") service and the benefit of an extra week.  The total number of eastbound voyages in the China service, including the impact of an extra week, increased by nine year-over-year, of which eight were CCX voyages and one was a CLX voyage.  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 fourth quarter 2021 and achieved average freight rates that were considerably higher than in the year ago period.  Supply chain congestion remains the current issue in the Transpacific tradelane due to ongoing elevated consumption trends, U.S. domestic supply chain constraints, and inventory restocking.  For 2022, we expect these conditions to remain largely in place through at least the October peak season and expect elevated demand for our China service for most of the year.

In Guam, the Company's container volume in the fourth quarter 2021 increased 14.0 percent year-over-year primarily due to higher retail-related demand compared to the pandemic-reduced volume in the year ago period.  In the near-term, we are cautiously optimistic on further economic growth in Guam as tourism traffic improves as the year progresses.

In Alaska, the Company's container volume for the fourth quarter 2021 increased 10.2 percent year-over-year primarily due to (i) the increase in volume from the Alaska-Asia Express ("AAX"), (ii) the benefit of an extra week, and (iii) higher southbound volume.  In the near-term, we expect improving economic trends in Alaska, but the recovery's trajectory continues to remain uncertain.

The contribution in the fourth quarter 2021 from the Company's SSAT joint venture investment was $21.3 million, or $10.4 million higher than the fourth quarter 2020.  The increase was primarily driven by higher other terminal revenue and higher revenue per lift.

Logistics:  In the fourth quarter 2021, operating income for the Company's Logistics segment was $14.8 million, or $5.2 million higher compared to the level achieved in the fourth quarter 2020.  The increase was due primarily to higher contributions from supply chain management and transportation brokerage as a result of elevated goods consumption, inventory restocking and favorable supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $482.0 million, or 88.6 percent, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020.  The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in China, higher fuel-related surcharge revenue, and higher revenue in Hawaii and Alaska.  The higher revenue in China was primarily due to considerably higher average freight rates and higher volume.  The higher revenue in Hawaii and Alaska was primarily the result of higher volume.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume increased 10.4 percent primarily due to (i) higher retail and hospitality-related demand due to the continued rebound in tourism and the Hawaii economy and (ii) the benefit of an extra week, compared to the volume in the year ago period, which was negatively impacted by the state's COVID-19 mitigation efforts, including restrictions on tourism; Alaska volume increased 10.2 percent primarily due to the increase in volume from the AAX, the benefit of an extra week, and higher southbound volume; China volume was 32.7 percent higher primarily due to CCX volume and the benefit of an extra week; Guam volume was 14.0 percent higher primarily due to higher retail-related demand compared to the pandemic-reduced volume in the year ago period; and Other containers volume increased 14.3 percent primarily due to the addition of China-Auckland Express volume in the South Pacific.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $352.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020.  The increase was primarily due to considerably higher average freight rates and higher volume in China, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses primarily due to the CCX service and higher incremental costs associated with the CLX+ service.

The Company's SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $21.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to a contribution of $10.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020.  The increase was primarily driven by higher other terminal revenue and higher revenue per lift.

(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.
