1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Matson, Inc., a holding company incorporated in January 2012, in the State of Hawaii, and its subsidiaries (Matson or the Company), is a leading provider of ocean transportation and logistics services.
Ocean Transportation: Matsons ocean transportation business is conducted through Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (MatNav), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, Inc. Founded in 1882, MatNav is an asset-based business that provides a vital lifeline of ocean freight transportation services to the island economies of Hawaii, Guam, Micronesia, and various islands in the South Pacific. MatNav also operates a premium, expedited service from China to Long Beach, California. In addition, a subsidiary of MatNav provides container stevedoring, container equipment maintenance and other terminal services for MatNav and other ocean carriers on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai.
The Company has a 35 percent ownership interest in SSA Terminals, LLC (SSAT) through a joint venture between Matson Ventures, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav, and SSA Ventures, Inc. (SSA), a subsidiary of Carrix, Inc. (the Terminal Joint Venture). SSAT provides terminal and stevedoring services to various carriers at six terminal facilities on the United States of America (U.S.) Pacific Coast, including to MatNav at several of those facilities. Matson records its share of income (loss) in the joint venture in operating expenses within the ocean transportation segment due to the nature of SSATs operations.
Logistics: The Companys logistics business is conducted through Matson Logistics, Inc. (Matson Logistics or Logistics), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav. Established in 1987, Matson Logistics is an asset-light business that provides multimodal transportation, including domestic and international rail intermodal service (Intermodal); long-haul and regional highway brokerage, specialized hauling, flat-bed and project work, less-than-truckload services, and expedited freight services (collectively Highway); and warehousing and distribution services.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Due to the nature of the Companys 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; they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Fiscal Period: The period end for Matson, Inc. is March 31. The period end for MatNav occurred on the last Friday in March, except for Matson Logistics Warehousing for which the period closed on March 31.
Significant Accounting Policies: The Companys significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In January 2014, the Company issued $100 million of 30-year senior unsecured notes (the Notes). The Notes have a weighted average life of 14.5 years and bear interest at a rate of 4.35%, payable semi-annually. The proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The Notes will begin to mature in 2021, with annual principal payments of $5.0 million in 2021, $7.5 million in 2022 and 2023, $10.0 million from 2024 to 2027, and $8.0 million in 2028. Starting in 2029, and in each year thereafter until 2044, annual principal payments will be $2.0 million.
4. PENSION AND POST-RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company sponsors qualified defined-benefit pension and post retirement plans (collectively, the Plans). The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Plans for the three-months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

In 2014, the Company expects to pay total cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of approximately $6.6 million, all of which has yet to be contributed as of March 31, 2014.
5. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
During the three-months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted approximately 324,000 time-based and performance-based shares to certain of its employees at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $23.57. The number of performance shares awarded represents the maximum that can be earned, and will ultimately depend on the Companys performance.
Total stock-based compensation cost recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of operations as a component of selling, general and administrative costs was $1.8 million and $1.3 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements was $11.4 million at March 31, 2014, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost may be adjusted for any unearned performance shares or forfeited shares.
6. CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters: Molasses was released into Honolulu Harbor from a pipeline system operated by a subsidiary of the Company in September 2013. The Company is cooperating with federal and state agencies involved in responding to and investigating the release. On September 20, 2013, the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) and other responding governmental agencies announced that they had officially transitioned their role from a response phase to a recovery and restoration phase. The DOH also reported on September 20, 2013 that dissolved oxygen and pH levels in the harbor and nearby Keehi Lagoon had returned to normal target levels and that there was no longer discoloration of the water in those same areas attributable to the molasses release. Keehi Lagoon was reopened to the public on September 21, 2013.
On October 10, 2013, the Company was served with a federal grand jury subpoena seeking documents in connection with a criminal investigation into the release of molasses into Honolulu Harbor. In addition, the Company has received two subpoenas from the Hawaii Attorney General and written requests for information regarding the release from the following governmental agencies: (i) the DOH; (ii) the State of Hawaii Office of Hawaiian Affairs; and (iii) the United States Environmental Protection Agency (Region IX).
As of May 7, 2014, the Company has resolved all third-party claims that have been received. However, government agencies have not: (i) initiated any lawsuits; (ii) presented the Company with an accounting of their response costs; (iii) provided an assessment of natural resource damages; or (iv) imposed any penalties in connection with the release of molasses. Therefore, the Company is not able to estimate the future costs, penalties, damages or expenses that it may incur related to the incident. As a result, at this time no assurance can be given that the impact of the incident on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows will not be material.
In addition to the molasses release discussed above, the Companys shipping business has certain other risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. 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.
Other Legal Matters: On June 10, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by an individual plaintiff as relator on behalf of the United States asserting claims against the Company and certain other ocean carriers and freight forwarders for violations of the False Claims Act. The case is entitled United States of America, ex rel. Mario Rizzo v. Horizon Lines, LLC et al. The qui tam complaint alleges that Matson and the other defendants submitted or created records supporting false claims for payment of fuel surcharges assessed on the shipment of military household goods for the Department of Defense. The federal government has declined to intervene in this qui tam suit. The individual plaintiff in the suit seeks damages and penalties on behalf of the federal government, and may be entitled to a portion of any recovery or settlement resulting from the suit. The plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on August 23, 2013. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on September 16, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the court denied the Companys motion. Discovery has now commenced and a jury trial is scheduled to begin on October 7, 2014. On February 14, 2014, Matson and the plaintiff engaged in non-binding mediation. On February 23, 2014, Matsons Board of Directors approved a settlement of $9.0 million in full settlement of all claims, and $0.95 million for plaintiffs legal expenses. The settlement is contingent upon approval of the United States government, and the dismissal of the case with prejudice by the District Court. The amount of the settlement was included in accrued and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
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 Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Basic earnings per share (EPS) are 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 dilutive shares outstanding excluded non-qualified stock options to purchase 0.2 million shares of common stock during both three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These amounts were excluded because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Companys common stock for the periods presented and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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 equivalents and Level 2 inputs for its long-term debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Companys debt is calculated based upon interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Companys existing debt arrangements.
The carrying value and fair value of the Companys financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows (in millions):

9. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company consists of two segments, ocean transportation and logistics, which are further described in Note 1. Reportable segments are measured based on operating income, exclusive of interest expense and income taxes. 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.
Segment results for the three-months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows (in millions):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for historical information, the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Security Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in, among other things, SEC filings, such as the Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, the Annual Report to Shareholders, press releases made by the Company, the Companys Internet Web sites (including Web sites of its subsidiaries), and oral statements made by the officers of the Company.
This report, and other statements that the Company may make, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to the Companys future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as trend, potential, opportunity, pipeline, believe, comfortable, expect, anticipate, current, intention, estimate, position, assume, outlook, continue, remain, maintain, sustain, seek, achieve, and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could, may or similar expressions.
The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time, including, but not limited to, the factors that are described in Part I, Item 1A under the caption of Risk Factors of Matsons Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company assumes no duty to and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.
OVERVIEW
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a discussion of the Companys financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect its future results from the perspective of management. The discussion that follows is intended to provide information that will assist in understanding the changes in the Companys financial statements from period to period, the primary factors that accounted for those changes, and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect the Companys financial statements. MD&A is provided as a supplement to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes herein, and should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the Companys reports filed on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, and other publicly available information.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Ocean Transportation: The Company believes that the Hawaii economy is in a multi-year recovery and anticipates modest market growth in the trade in 2014. However, a competitor is expected to launch new containership capacity into the trade in the fourth quarter of 2014, which would impact the Companys container volume. In the China trade, overcapacity is expected to continue at least through 2014, with vessel deliveries outpacing demand growth. However, the Company expects to maintain its volume and average freight rates with high utilization levels, as its expedited service continues to realize a premium to market rates. In Guam, muted growth is expected and the Company envisions its volume to be modestly better than 2013, assuming no new competitors enter the market.
For the full year 2014, Ocean Transportation operating income is expected to be near or slightly above levels achieved in 2013, which was $104.3 million (exclusive of a $9.95 million Litigation Charge). This outlook additionally excludes any future impact from the September 2013 molasses incident.
Logistics: The Company expects 2014 operating income to modestly exceed the 2013 level of $6.0 million, driven by continued volume growth, expense control and improvements in warehouse operations.
Interest Expense: The Company expects its interest expense in 2014 to increase over the 2013 amount by approximately $3.5 million due primarily to the Notes financing transaction that closed on January 28, 2014.
Income Tax Expense: The Company expects its 2014 effective tax rate to be approximately 38.5 percent.
Other: The Company expects maintenance capital expenditures for 2014 to be approximately $40.0 million. Additionally, while the Company does not have any scheduled contract payments in 2014 related to its two vessels under construction, it does expect to make additional contributions to its Capital Construction Fund (CCF). These deposits could be significant and will have the effect of deferring a portion of the Companys current cash tax liabilities.

Consolidated operating revenue for the first quarter 2014 decreased $2.2 million, or 0.6 percent, compared to the first quarter 2013. This decrease was due to $5.3 million in lower revenue for ocean transportation and $3.1 million in higher revenue from logistics services.
Operating costs and expenses for the first quarter 2014 increased $6.6 million, or 1.8 percent, compared to the first quarter 2013. The increase was due to a $3.8 million increase in operating costs for the ocean transportation and a $2.8 million increase in operating costs for the logistics segment. Changes in operating revenue and expense are described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Income by Segment, as part of the discussion of trends in operating revenues and operating.
Interest expense increased $0.4 million to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $3.7 million for the first quarter 2013. The increase was due to increased borrowings in the first quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter 2013.
Income tax expense was $2.4 million or 41.4% of net income for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $5.9 million or 39.3% of net income for the first quarter 2013. The increase in the income tax rate was due to the impact of uncertainties in income tax liabilities that increased the tax rate in the first quarter 2014.

(1) Approximate container volumes included for the period are based on the voyage departure date, but revenue and operating income are adjusted to reflect the percentage of revenue and operating income earned during the reporting period for voyages that straddle the beginning or end of each reporting period.
Ocean transportation revenue decreased $5.3 million, or 1.8 percent, during the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013. The year over year decrease was due primarily to lower fuel surcharge revenue, lower container volume in Hawaii and lower China freight rates; partially offset by freight rate increases and cargo mix improvements in Hawaii and increased volume in the Companys Micronesia/South Pacific trade.
On a year over year basis, Hawaii container volume decreased 2.9 percent due primarily to lower eastbound freight; China volume decreased 3.5 percent, as a result of an additional sailing during the first quarter 2013; Guam volume increased 3.4 percent due to the timing of select shipments and Micronesia/South Pacific volume increased 33.3 percent reflecting a full quarter of operations.
Ocean transportation operating income decreased $9.1 million, or 49.2 percent, during the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013. The decrease can be attributed primarily to the timing of fuel surcharge collections. Other factors include lower Hawaii volume and lower China freight rates. In addition, the Company incurred $1.0 million in legal expenses related to the molasses released into Honolulu Harbor in September 2013. Partially offsetting these decreases to operating income were freight rate increases and cargo mix improvements in Hawaii and lower outside transportation costs.
The Companys SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $0.2 million during the first quarter 2014, similar to a $0.2 million contribution in the first quarter 2013.

Logistics revenue increased $3.1 million, or 3.3 percent, during the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013. This increase was primarily the result of higher highway and international intermodal volume; partially offset by lower domestic intermodal volume attributable to severe weather conditions experienced during the first quarter 2014.
Logistics operating income increased by $0.3 million, during the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013, primarily due to warehouse operating improvements, increased highway volume, and lower general and administrative expenses; partially offset by the impact of severe weather during first quarter 2014.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview:
Cash flows provided by operating activities are generally the Companys primary source of liquidity. Additional sources of liquidity were provided by available cash and cash equivalent balances as well as borrowings on available credit facilities.
Cash Flows:
Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $30.1 million for the first quarter 2014, compared with $35.0 million for the first quarter 2013. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due an increase in deferred dry-docking payments and a decrease in net income, partially offset by the benefit from the change in deferred income taxes and the net changes in current assets and current liabilities.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $4.5 million for the first quarter 2014, compared with $14.9 million for the first quarter 2013. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in payments for acquisitions and a reduction in capital expenditures during the first quarter 2014, compared to the first quarter 2013. Capital expenditures were $4.9 million for the first quarter 2014, compared to $6.3 million for the first quarter 2013, and primarily related to the ocean transportation segment.
Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $89.6 million for the first quarter 2014, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $29.0 million for the first quarter 2013. The change was primarily due to increased proceeds from issuance of long-term debt net of repayments, of $97.5 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to cash outflows of $21.5 million for repayments of long-term debt, net of proceeds received for the first quarter 2013.
Other Sources of Liquidity:
Additional sources of liquidity totaled $407.6 million at March 31, 2014, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables, an increase of $110.8 million compared to December 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to a $115.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.4 million. The Company had working capital of $257.9 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $148.3 million at December 31, 2013.
In January 2014, the Company issued $100 million of 30-year senior unsecured notes (the Notes). The Notes have a weighted average life of 14.5 years and bear interest at a rate of 4.35%, payable semi-annually. The proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The Notes will begin to mature in 2021, with annual principal payments of $5.0 million in 2021, $7.5 million in 2022 and 2023, $10.0 million from 2024 to 2027, and $8.0 million in 2028. Starting in 2029, and in each year thereafter until 2044, annual principal payments will be $2.0 million.
Total debt was $383.6 million as of March 31, 2014, compared with $286.1 million at December 31, 2013.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Environmental Matters: Molasses was released into Honolulu Harbor from a pipeline system operated by a subsidiary of the Company in September 2013. The Company is cooperating with federal and state agencies involved in responding to and investigating the release. On September 20, 2013, the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) and other responding governmental agencies announced that they had officially transitioned their role from a response phase to a recovery and restoration phase. The DOH also reported on September 20, 2013 that dissolved oxygen and pH levels in the harbor and nearby Keehi Lagoon had returned to normal target levels and that there was no longer discoloration of the water in those same areas attributable to the molasses release. Keehi Lagoon was reopened to the public on September 21, 2013.
On October 10, 2013, the Company was served with a federal grand jury subpoena seeking documents in connection with a criminal investigation into the release of molasses into Honolulu Harbor. In addition, the Company has received two subpoenas from the Hawaii Attorney General and written requests for information regarding the release from the following governmental agencies: (i) the DOH; (ii) the State of Hawaii Office of Hawaiian Affairs; and (iii) the United States Environmental Protection Agency (Region IX).
As of May 7, 2014, the Company has resolved all third-party claims that have been received. However, government agencies have not: (i) initiated any lawsuits; (ii) presented the Company with an accounting of their response costs; (iii) provided an assessment of natural resource damages; or (iv) imposed any penalties in connection with the release of molasses. Therefore, the Company is not able to estimate the future costs, penalties, damages or expenses that it may incur related to the incident. As a result, at this time no assurance can be given that the impact of the incident on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows will not be material.
In addition to the molasses release discussed above, the Companys shipping business has certain other risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. 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.
Other Legal Matters: On June 10, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by an individual plaintiff as relator on behalf of the United States asserting claims against the Company and certain other ocean carriers and freight forwarders for violations of the False Claims Act. The case is entitled United States of America, ex rel. Mario Rizzo v. Horizon Lines, LLC et al. The qui tam complaint alleges that Matson and the other defendants submitted or created records supporting false claims for payment of fuel surcharges assessed on the shipment of military household goods for the Department of Defense. The federal government has declined to intervene in this qui tam suit. The individual plaintiff in the suit seeks damages and penalties on behalf of the federal government, and may be entitled to a portion of any recovery or settlement resulting from the suit. The plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on August 23, 2013. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on September 16, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the court denied the Companys motion. Discovery has now commenced and a jury trial is scheduled to begin on October 7, 2014. On February 14, 2014, Matson and the plaintiff engaged in non-binding mediation. On February 23, 2014, Matsons Board of Directors approved a settlement of $9.0 million in full settlement of all claims, and $0.95 million for plaintiffs legal expenses. The settlement is contingent upon approval of the United States government, and the dismissal of the case with prejudice by the District Court.
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 Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
