FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

MATSON, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EPS OF $0.55, AFFIRMS 2017 OUTLOOK

 

·

EPS of $0.55 versus $0.42 in 2Q16

·

Net Income of $24.0 million versus $18.0 million in 2Q16

EBITDA of $85.0 million versus $68.8 million in 2Q16

Affirms Full Year 2017 Outlook

 

HONOLULU, Hawaii (July 31, 2017) – Matson, Inc. (“Matson” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $24.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $18.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenue for the second quarter 2017 was $512.5 million compared with $467.7 million reported for the second quarter 2016.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Matson reported net income of $31.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share compared with $36.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share in 2016.  Consolidated revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was $986.9 million, compared with $921.9 million in 2016.

 

Matt Cox, Matson’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Matson achieved better than expected second quarter results, buoyed by stronger demand for our expedited China service, the timing of fuel surcharge collections, higher lift volumes at our SSAT terminal joint venture, and improved performance in Logistics.  However, these gains were moderated by lower construction related cargo to Hawaii as the boom of high-rise condominium developments in Honolulu has begun to ebb and other real estate construction activity has yet to offset that decline.”

 

Mr. Cox added, “For the balance of 2017, we continue to expect modest improvement in each of our core tradelanes with the exception of Guam where we expect further competitive losses due to the launch of a competitor’s weekly service in December 2016.  As a result, we are affirming our 2017 outlook for operating income and EBITDA; and consequently, we continue to expect operating income to be lower than it was in 2016 and EBITDA to approximate the level achieved in 2016.”

 

Second Quarter 2017 Discussion and Outlook for Second Half 2017

 

Ocean Transportation: The Hawaii economy experienced modest growth in the second quarter 2017; however, the Company’s container volume was lower due to the absence of volume gains associated with a competitor’s service reconfiguration and related issues in the second quarter of 2016, and lower construction related volumes.  Given the timing of the expected transition of construction activity and the absence of a 53rd week in 2017, the Company expects its full year 2017 Hawaii container volume to be modestly lower than the level achieved in 2016.

 

In China, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2017 was 15.0 percent higher year-over-year due to stronger demand for Matson’s expedited service and an additional sailing.  The Company continued to realize a sizeable rate premium in the second quarter 2017 and achieved average freight rates modestly higher than the second quarter

1


 

2016.  For the remainder of 2017, the Company expects continued strong demand for our highly differentiated expedited service amid a chronically over-supplied international container shipping market.

 

In Guam, as expected, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2017 was lower on a year-over-year basis, the result of competitive losses to a U.S. flagged containership service that increased its service frequency to weekly in December 2016.  For the balance of 2017, the Company expects a continued heightened competitive environment and lower volume.

 

In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the second quarter 2017 was 1.1 percent lower year-over-year, primarily the result of the continued energy sector related economic contraction, partially offset by improved seafood harvest.  For the remainder of 2017, the Company continues to expect modestly lower volume based on declining northbound freight due to ongoing contraction of Alaska’s energy-based economy, partially offset by improved southbound seafood volume.

 

As a result, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income for the full year 2017 to be lower than the $141.3 million achieved in 2016.  In the third quarter 2017, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to be moderately higher than the $42.7 million achieved in the third quarter 2016.

 

Logistics: In the second quarter 2017, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment included a full quarter of freight forwarding operating results from its acquired Span Alaska business.  For the full year 2017, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be approximately $20 million, up significantly from the 2016 level of $11.9 million, primarily due to the inclusion of Span Alaska’s freight forwarding business for a full year.  In the third quarter 2017, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be approximately double the $3.5 million achieved in the third quarter 2016.

 

Depreciation and Amortization: For the full year 2017, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to increase by approximately $15 million to $150 million, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $50 million, primarily due to the higher levels of maintenance capital and vessel dry-docking expenditures in 2016 and planned for the remainder of 2017.

 

EBITDA: The Company expects full year 2017 EBITDA to approximate the $288.6 million achieved in 2016.

 

Interest Expense: The Company expects interest expense for the full year 2017 to be approximately $25 million.

 

Income Tax Expense: In the second quarter 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was 39.4 percent.  For the full year 2017, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 39 percent.

 

Capital and Vessel Dry-docking Expenditures: In the second quarter 2017, the Company made maintenance capital expenditure payments of $14.2 million, vessel construction expenditures of $44.9 million, and dry-docking payments of $17.9 million.  For the full year 2017, the Company expects to make maintenance capital expenditure payments of approximately $50 million, vessel construction expenditures of approximately $242 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $50 million.

Approximate 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 in transit at the end of each reporting period.

 

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $21.8 million, or 5.9 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2016.  This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue, higher average freight rates in China and Hawaii, and higher container volume in China, partially offset by lower volume in Hawaii and Guam.

 

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased by 2.8 percent due to the absence of competitive volume gains in the prior year and a modest market contraction; Alaska volume decreased by 1.1 percent attributable to the continued energy sector related economic contraction; China volume was 15.0 percent higher due to stronger demand for the Company’s expedited service and an additional sailing during the three months ended June 30, 2017; and Guam volume was 14.3 percent lower due to competitive losses.

 

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $5.1 million, or 15.0 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase was primarily due to higher average freight rates and container volume in China, favorable timing of fuel surcharge collections, higher contribution from SSAT, and higher freight rates in Hawaii.  Partially offsetting these favorable year-over-year comparisons were higher terminal handling expenses, higher vessel dry-docking amortization expense, and lower container volume in Hawaii and Guam.

 

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $6.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a $3.0 million contribution during the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase was primarily attributable to improved lift volume.

Approximate 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 in transit at the end of each reporting period.

 

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $25.7 million, or 3.5 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2016.  This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue, higher container volume in China, and higher average freight rates in China and Hawaii, partially offset by lower volume in Hawaii, Guam and Alaska.

 

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased by 4.1 percent primarily due to the absence of competitive volume gains in the prior year; Alaska volume decreased by 2.6 percent attributable to the continued energy sector related economic contraction; China volume was 18.8 percent higher due to stronger demand for the Company’s expedited service and additional sailings during the first half 2017; and Guam volume was 10.7 percent lower due to competitive losses.

 

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $13.4 million, or 20.0 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The decrease was primarily due to higher terminal handling costs, higher vessel dry-docking amortization expense, and lower container volume in Hawaii and Guam.  Partially offsetting these unfavorable year-over-year comparisons were higher container volume and average freight rates in China, and higher contribution from SSAT.

 

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a $5.6 million contribution in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase was primarily attributable to improved lift volume.

EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income, less income or loss from discontinued operations, plus income tax expense, 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.

Addendum – Non-GAAP Measures Matson reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company also considers other non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance, make day-to-day operating decisions, help investors understand our ability to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures, and to understand period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportional positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), and Net Debt/EBITDA. (1) EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income, less income or loss from discontinued operations, plus income tax expense, 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 .
