For the entity and the disposal group, cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS |
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. The Company consists of two segments, Ocean Transportation and Logistics (see Note 14).
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 is an asset-based business that provides a vital lifeline of ocean freight transportation services to the island economies of Hawaii, Guam and Micronesia, and also operates a premium, expedited service from the ports of Xiamen, Ningbo, and Shanghai in China, to Long Beach, California. In January 2013, Matson began providing ocean services to various islands in the South Pacific including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands, and later expanded service to include Australia to the Solomon Islands, and Nauru. Matson’s fleet consists of 18 owned and three chartered vessels including containerships, combination container/roll-on/roll-off ships, and custom-designed barges.
The Company also provides container stevedoring, container equipment maintenance and other terminal services for MatNav and other ocean carriers through Matson Terminals, Inc. (“Matson Terminals”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav, 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 SSAT’s operations.
Logistics: The Company’s 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, expedited freight services (collectively “Highway”); and warehousing and distribution services. The warehousing and distribution services are provided by Matson Logistics Warehousing, Inc. (“Matson Logistics Warehousing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson Logistics.
Horizon Acquisition: On November 11, 2014, Matson and Horizon Lines, Inc. (“Horizon”) announced that MatNav and Horizon entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Horizon will be merged with a subsidiary of MatNav. As a result, Matson will acquire Horizon’s Alaska operations and assume all of Horizon’s non-Hawaii assets and liabilities (the “Horizon Transaction”). Separately, on the same day, Horizon announced that it agreed to sell its Hawaii operations to The Pasha Group (“Pasha”), (the “Pasha Transaction”), and cease all of its operations in Puerto Rico. On February 25, 2015, the stockholders of Horizon approved the adoption of the definitive merger agreement. The Horizon Transaction is conditioned on the Pasha Transaction closing, and other customary closing conditions. The Pasha Transaction is subject to clearance by the U.S. Department of Justice under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
The total value for the Horizon Transaction is approximately $456.0 million (before transaction costs), based on Horizon’s net debt outstanding as of September 21, 2014, less the anticipated proceeds from the Pasha Transaction. The Company will fund the Horizon Transaction from cash on hand and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
Separation Transaction: On December 1, 2011, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., the former parent company of MatNav (the “Former Parent Company”), announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue the separation (the “Separation”) of the Former Parent Company to create two independent, publicly traded companies, Matson, Inc., and Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B”), a Hawaii-based land company with interests in real estate development, commercial real estate and agriculture.
On February 13, 2012, the Former Parent Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to reorganize itself by forming a holding company incorporated in Hawaii, Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). The holding company structure helped facilitate the Separation through the organization and segregation of the assets of the two businesses. In addition, the holding company reorganization was intended to help preserve the Company’s status as a U.S. citizen under certain U.S. maritime and vessel documentation laws by, among other things, limiting the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock in the holding company that may be owned or controlled in the aggregate by non-U.S. citizens to a maximum permitted percentage of 22 percent.
The Separation was completed on June 29, 2012. In the Separation, the shareholders of Holdings received one share of common stock of A&B for every share of Holdings held of record as of June 18, 2012. Immediately following the Separation, Holdings changed its name to Matson, Inc. For accounting purposes, Matson is the successor company to the Former Parent Company.
Prior to the completion of the Separation, Matson and A&B entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement, each dated June 8, 2012, to govern the post-Separation relationship. In addition, Matson and A&B entered into a Transition Services Agreement, dated June 8, 2012, under which each company agreed to provide the other with various services on an interim transitional basis, for up to 24 months. Also in relation to the Separation, intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts between Matson and A&B, in existence immediately prior to the Separation, were satisfied and/or settled; and intercompany agreements and all other arrangements in effect immediately prior to the distribution were terminated or canceled, subject to certain exceptions.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred total cash outflows of $166.2 million in relation to the Separation. Separation related expenses, referred to as Separation costs in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, are reported under the cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations, and capitalized debt financing costs under cash flows used in financing activities from continuing operations, as these costs do not qualify as discontinued operations.
The breakdown of Separation cash outflows for the year ended December 31, 2012 were as follows (in millions):

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matson, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of significant intercompany amounts. 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. A controlling financial interest is one in which the Company has a majority voting interest or one in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.
Fiscal Year: The period end for Matson, Inc. is December 31. The period end for MatNav occurred on the last Friday in December, except for Matson Logistics Warehousing whose period closed on December 31. There were 52 weeks included in the MatNav 2014, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the 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, long-lived vessel and equipment impairment, legal contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, uninsured liabilities, goodwill and other finite-lived intangible assets impairment, pension and post-retirement estimates, and income taxes. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Company carries these investments at cost, which approximates fair value. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit totaled $18.9 million and $19.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are reflected as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
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 and cash equivalents. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its accounts receivable, and debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and short-term debt approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is calculated based upon interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements.
Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company had assigned $150.7 million and $112.0 million of eligible accounts receivable, respectively, to the Capital Construction Fund (see Note 6).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are established by management based on estimates of collectability. Estimates of collectability are principally based on an evaluation of the current financial condition of the Company’s customers and their payment history, which are regularly monitored by the Company. The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for the three years ended December 31, 2014 were as follows (in millions):
Prepaid and Other Assets: Prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets includes $11.0 million and $13.8 million of diesel and heavy fuel oil that is primarily aboard the Company’s vessels and is recorded at cost, $0.0 million and $14.2 million of income tax receivable, and $9.5 million and $15.0 million related to other prepaid expenses at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Impairment of Investment: The Company’s investment in its Terminal Joint Venture is reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever there is evidence that fair value may be below carrying cost. An investment is written down to fair value if fair value is below carrying cost and the impairment is other-than-temporary. In evaluating the fair value of an investment and whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary, significant estimates and considerable judgments are involved. These estimates and judgments are based, in part, on the Company’s current and future evaluation of economic conditions in general, as well as the Terminal Joint Venture’s current and future plans. These fair value calculations are highly subjective because they require management to make assumptions and apply judgments to estimates regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows, probabilities related to various cash flow scenarios, and appropriate discount rates based on the perceived risks, among others. In evaluating whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available information, including the length of time and extent of the impairment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the Terminal Joint Venture, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, and projected industry and economic trends, among others. Changes in these and other assumptions could affect the projected operational results and fair value of the Terminal Joint Venture, and accordingly, may require valuation adjustments to the Company’s investment that may materially impact the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results.
The Company has evaluated its investment in its Terminal Joint Venture for impairment and no impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Certain costs incurred in the development of internal-use software are capitalized. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets: The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company’s long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets are grouped at the Ocean Transportation and Logistics asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. In evaluating impairment, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by each of these asset groups is compared with the amount recorded for each asset group to determine if its carrying value is not recoverable. If this review determines that the amount recorded will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the asset group is reduced to its estimated fair value. These asset impairment analyses are highly subjective because they require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments to, among other things, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, uncertainty about future events, including changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance, changes in the use of the assets, and ongoing costs of maintenance and improvements of the assets, and thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted.
The Company has evaluated its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets for impairment and no impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. During 2012, the Company determined that it had an impairment related to the finite-lived intangible assets at Logistics. The Company recorded impairment expense of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is included in operating expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Dry-docking Costs: The Company’s U.S. flagged vessels must meet specified seaworthiness standards established by U.S. Coast Guard rules and Classification society requirements. These standards require that the Company’s ships undergo two dry-docking inspections within a five-year period. However, all of the Company’s U.S. flagged vessels are enrolled in the U.S. Coast Guard’s Underwater Survey in Lieu of Dry-docking (“UWILD”) program. The UWILD program allows eligible ships to have their intermediate dry-docking requirement met with far less costly underwater inspection.
The Company operates four non-U.S. flag vessels (one owned; one under a bareboat charter arrangement; and the remaining two on time charter) in the Pacific Islands. The Company is responsible for ensuring that the owned and bareboat chartered ships meet international standards for seaworthiness, which among other requirements generally mandate that the Company perform two dry-docking inspections every five years. The dry-dockings of the Company’s time chartered vessels are the responsibility of the ships’ owners.
As the costs associated with these dry-docking inspections provide future economic benefits to the Company through continued operation of the vessels, the costs are deferred and amortized until the next regularly scheduled dry-docking, which is usually over a two to five-year period. Routine vessel maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Deferred dry-docking costs were $47.5 million and $56.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortized amounts are charged to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Changes in deferred dry-docking costs are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Recorded goodwill arises as a result of acquisitions made by the Company. Intangible assets at December 31, 2014, consisted of customer lists and other intangibles that are being amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives ranging from 3 to 13 years.
Impairment of Goodwill: The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In estimating the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of a discounted cash flow model and fair value based on market multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The discounted cash flow approach requires the Company to use a number of assumptions, including market factors specific to the business, the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the business over an extended period of time, long-term growth rates for the business, and a discount rate that considers the risks related to the amount and timing of the cash flows. Although the assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model are consistent with the assumptions the Company used to generate its internal strategic plans and forecasts, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows from the reporting unit and the risk of achieving those cash flows. When using market multiples of EBITDA, the Company must make judgments about the comparability of those multiples in closed and proposed transactions. Accordingly, changes in assumptions and estimates, including, but not limited to, changes driven by external factors, such as industry and economic trends, and those driven by internal factors, such as changes in the Company’s business strategy and its internal forecasts, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results.
The Company has evaluated its goodwill for impairment and no impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Capital Construction Fund Deposits: Deposits in the Capital Construction Fund were $27.5 million at December 31, 2014. There were no deposits in the Capital Construction Fund at December 31, 2013 (see Note 6).
Other Long-term Assets: Other long-term assets include deferred dry-docking costs of $47.5 million and $56.9 million (see Note 2), and other assets and deferred charges of $21.8 million and $18.3 million, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Pension and Post-Retirement Plans: Certain Ocean Transportation subsidiaries are members of the Pacific Maritime Association (“PMA”) and the Hawaii Stevedoring Industry Committee, which negotiate multiemployer pension plans covering certain shoreside bargaining unit personnel. The subsidiaries directly negotiate multiemployer pension plans covering other bargaining unit personnel. Pension costs are accrued in accordance with contribution rates established by the PMA, the parties to a plan or the trustees of a plan. Several trusteed, non-contributory, single-employer defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans cover substantially all other employees.
The estimation of the Company’s pension and post-retirement benefit expenses and liabilities requires that the Company make various assumptions. These assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, salary growth, health care cost trend rates, inflation, retirement rates, mortality rates, and expected contributions. Actual results that differ from the assumptions made could materially affect the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results. The effects of changing assumptions are included in unamortized net gains and losses, which directly affect accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, these unamortized gains and losses are amortized and reclassified to income (loss) over future periods. Additional information about the Company’s benefit plans is included in Note 9.
Uninsured Liabilities: The Company is uninsured for certain losses including, but not limited to, employee health, workers’ compensation, general liability, real and personal property. Where feasible, the Company obtains third-party excess insurance coverage to limit its exposure to these claims. When estimating its uninsured liabilities, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic factors, current trends, and analyses provided by independent third-parties. Periodically, management reviews its assumptions and the analyses provided by independent third-parties to determine the adequacy of the Company’s uninsured liabilities. The Company’s uninsured liabilities contain uncertainties because management is required to apply judgment and make long-term assumptions to estimate the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and claims incurred, but not reported, as of the balance sheet date. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted.
Legal Contingencies: The Company’s results of operations could be affected by significant litigation adverse to the Company, including, but not limited to, liability claims, antitrust claims, claims related to coastwise trading matters, lawsuits involving private plaintiffs or government agencies, and environmental related matters. The Company records accruals for legal matters when the information available indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management makes adjustments to these accruals to reflect the impact and status of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of outside legal counsel and other information and events that may pertain to a particular matter. Predicting the outcome of claims and lawsuits and estimating related costs and exposure involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to vary materially from those estimates. In making determinations of likely outcomes of litigation matters, the Company considers many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the nature of specific claims including un-asserted claims, the Company’s experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and the matter’s current status. A detailed discussion of significant litigation matters is contained in Note 12.
Recognition of Revenues and Expenses: Voyage revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of a voyage based on the relative transit time in each reporting period. Voyage expenses are recognized as incurred. Hawaii, Guam, and certain Pacific island service freight rates are provided in tariffs filed with the Surface Transportation Board of the U.S. Department of Transportation; for other Pacific island services, the rates are filed with the Federal Maritime Commission. The China service rates are predominately established by individual contracts with customers.
The revenue for Logistics services includes the total amount billed to customers for transportation services. The primary costs include purchased transportation services. Revenue and the related purchased transportation costs are recognized based on relative transit time. The Company reports revenue on a gross basis. The Company serves as principal in transactions because it is responsible for the contractual relationship with the customer, has latitude in establishing prices, has discretion in supplier selection, and retains credit risk.
The primary sources of revenue for warehousing services are storage, handling, and value-added packaging. For customer dedicated warehouses, storage revenue is recognized as earned over the life of the contract. Storage revenue generated by the public warehouses is recognized in the month the service is provided according to the terms of the contract. Handling and value-added packaging revenue and expense are recognized in proportion to the services completed.
Non-voyage Costs: Non-voyage costs such as terminal operating overhead, and general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Share-Based Compensation: The Company records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company’s various equity plans are more fully described in Note 11.
Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Adjustments may be required to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws and audit adjustments by tax authorities. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period, the adjustments would be included within the tax provision in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and/or consolidated balance sheets.
The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for consolidated financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and consolidated financial statement purposes. In addition, judgment is required in determining if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a recorded deferred tax asset would not be realized in future periods. A valuation allowance would be established if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a recorded deferred tax asset would not be realized in future periods. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period.
In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken with respect to the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could materially affect the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results.
Discontinued Operations: The termination of certain business lines are classified as discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the assets clearly can be distinguished from the remaining assets of the Company, if cash flows for the assets have been, or will be, eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, if the Company will not have a significant continuing involvement in the operations of the assets sold, and if the amount is considered material.
There were no discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 consisted of the following (in millions):
The Separation from A&B was completed on June 29, 2012 and is further discussed in Note 1. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company terminated its second China Long Beach Express Service (“CLX2”), due to the longer-term outlook for sustained high fuel prices and increasingly volatile transpacific rates. The Company’s termination plans were substantially completed as of September 30, 2011, however, the off-hiring of excess leased containers continued through 2012, and two of the five ships were offered for sub-charter until they were returned to the lessors in July 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no future liabilities related to CLX2.
Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in Shareholders’ Equity, except those resulting from capital stock transactions. Other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income are shown net of tax benefit (expense) of $19.4 million, ($14.1) million, and ($0.3) million for the years ended December 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $53.3 million and $23.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily included amortization of deferred pension, post-retirement costs and non-qualified plans of $52.9 million and $22.6 million, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”) of Common Stock: Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the year. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of unexercised non-qualified stock options and non-vested stock units. The computation of weighted average dilutive shares outstanding excluded non-qualified stock options to purchase 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. These amounts were excluded because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the periods presented and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The denominator used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in millions):
Rounding: Amounts in the consolidated financial statements and Notes are rounded to millions, but per-share calculations and percentages were determined based on amounts before rounding. Accordingly, a recalculation of some per-share amounts and percentages, if based on the reported data, may be slightly different.

6.CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION FUND
The Company is party to an agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (“MARAD”) that established a Capital Construction Fund (“CCF”) program under provisions of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended (the “Merchant Marine Act”). The CCF program was created to assist owners and operators of U.S. flag vessels in raising capital necessary for the modernization and expansion of the U.S. merchant marine. CCF funds may be used for the acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of vessels, and for repayment of existing vessel indebtedness through the deferment of federal income taxes on certain deposits of monies and other property placed into the CCF. Qualified withdrawals from the CCF must be used for investment in vessels and certain related equipment built in the U.S., and for use between covered U.S. ports as described by the Merchant Marine Act (see Item 1 of Part 1 for additional information on Maritime Laws and the Jones Act). Participants of the CCF must also meet certain U.S. citizenship requirements.
Deposits into the CCF are limited by certain applicable earnings and other conditions. Such deposits, once made, are available as tax deductions in the Company’s tax provision. Qualified withdrawals from the CCF do not give rise to a current tax liability, but reduce the depreciable basis of the vessels or certain related equipment for income tax purposes. However, if withdrawals are made from the CCF for general corporate purposes or other non-qualified purposes, or upon termination of the agreement, they are taxable with interest payable from the year of deposit.
Amounts deposited into the CCF are a preference item for calculating federal alternative minimum taxable income. Deposits not committed for qualified purposes within 25 years from the date of deposit will be treated as non-qualified withdrawals over the subsequent five years. Under the terms of the CCF agreement, the Company may designate certain qualified earnings as “accrued deposits” or may designate, as obligations of the CCF, qualified withdrawals to reimburse qualified expenditures initially made with operating funds. Such accrued deposits to, and withdrawals from, the CCF are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets either as obligations of the Company’s current assets or as receivables from the CCF.
Activity in the Company’s CCF for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 consist of the following (in millions):
