Documents Incorporated By Reference
The following document is incorporated by reference in Part III of the Annual Report on Form 10-K to the extent described therein: Proxy Statement for the annual meeting of shareholders of Matson, Inc. to be held April 25, 2019.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Matson, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10‑K/A (the “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Original 10‑K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2019 to include the financial statements and related notes of SSA Terminals, LLC (“SSAT”), an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company holds a 35% equity ownership interest. The Company accounts for its interest in SSAT using the equity method of accounting.
Rule 3‑09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides that if a 50%-or-less-owned person accounted for by the equity method meets the first or third condition of the significant subsidiary tests set forth in Rule 1‑02(w) of Regulation S-X, substituting 20% for 10%, separate financial statements for such 50%-or-less-owned person shall be filed. SSAT met one of the significant subsidiary tests as described above for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Pursuant to Rule 3‑09(b), the separate audited financial statements for SSAT were not included in the Original 10‑K because SSAT’s fiscal year ended later than the Company’s fiscal year.
Item 15 of the Original 10‑K is being amended to include as an exhibit the required financial statements for SSAT’s fiscal years ended January 25, 2019, January 26, 2018 and January 27, 2017. In addition, Item 15 of the Original 10‑K is being amended to include the consent of the independent auditor of SSAT and certifications by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
No other changes have been made to the Original 10‑K other than as described above. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Original 10‑K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Original 10‑K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 10‑K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after the filing of the Original 10‑K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10‑K and our filings with the SEC made subsequent to the filing of the Original 10‑K on March 4, 2019.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Members
SSA Terminals, LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SSA Terminals, LLC (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of January 25, 2019 and January 26, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 25, 2019, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SSA Terminals, LLC at January 25, 2019 and January 26, 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 25, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SSA Terminals, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) is a limited liability company owned by SSA Ventures, Inc. (SVI), a wholly owned subsidiary of SSA Marine, Inc. (SSA), and Matson Ventures, Inc. (MVI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (Matson).
The Company provides container stevedoring and terminal services in the states of California and Washington. Substantially all of the Company’s direct labor is subject to collective bargaining agreements.
The Company’s operations are governed by a limited liability company agreement (the Agreement), which provides for, among other matters, ownership percentages, and allocation of profits, losses, and distributions among the members. SVI’s and MVI’s ownership interests in the Company are 65% and 35%, respectively. Earnings and distributions are allocated between the members based on their respective ownership percentages. Under the terms of the Agreement, the members are not liable for obligations of the Company and have no obligation to make contributions to the Company in excess of their respective commitment.
The Company has an administrative service agreement and a vessel planning agreement (the Admin and Vessel Planning Agreements, respectively) with a wholly owned subsidiary of SSA for administrative, computer, and vessel planning services, which are charged to the Company based on the number of containers loaded and unloaded from vessels. Due to the significance of the agreements described above, the Company’s reported consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows may be different than if it operated on a stand-alone basis.
Effective August 28, 2007, the Company signed a limited liability company agreement with COSCO Shipping Terminals (USA) LLC (CST) to create SSA Terminals (Seattle), LLC (SSATS) and operate a terminal in Seattle, Washington. The Company has a two-thirds ownership interest in SSATS with the remaining one-third owned by CST.
Effective January 30, 2009, the Company signed a limited liability company agreement with NYK Terminal (Oakland), Inc. (NYK) to create SSA Terminals (Oakland), LLC (SSATO) and operate a terminal in Oakland, California. The Company has an 80% ownership interest in SSATO with the remaining 20% owned by NYK.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Reporting and Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its majority-owned subsidiaries, SSATO and SSATS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Profits and losses of subsidiaries are allocated to the Company based on its ownership percentage in the underlying subsidiary. The Company records noncontrolling interests in its consolidated financial statements to recognize the earnings and losses of the consolidated subsidiaries allocated to minority members in the Company’s consolidated entities.
Financial Reporting Period
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Friday in January. Fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 included 52 weeks.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposit bank accounts and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. Certain balances may exceed federally insured limits or may not be federally insured.
Restricted cash equivalents consist of debt service reserve account (DSRA) deposits of $2,614, which represent the next six months of payments as required by the SSATO Credit Agreement (Note 13).
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash equivalents that sums to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consist of time deposits with remaining maturities of less than one year.
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on factors such as credit quality of customers, historical loss experience, and current economic conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Classification |
|
Range of Life |
Cranes |
|
lesser of 15 years or remaining life of the crane |
Buildings and leasehold improvements |
|
lesser of 30 years or remaining life of the lease |
Top picks / side picks |
|
5 to 7 years |
Equipment and other |
|
3 to 12 years |
Investment in Joint Venture
The Company accounted for its 50% investment in SSA Terminals (Long Beach), LLC (SSATLB) under the equity method, as it had the ability to exercise significant influence. Under this method, the investment was initially recorded at cost and was adjusted to recognize the Company’s post-acquisition share of earnings or losses, less distributions.
During fiscal year 2018, the members of SSATLB approved the dissolution of the joint venture, as further described in Note 5.
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the variability of cash flows of certain borrowing obligations due to exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges to qualify for hedge accounting. The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of, and during the term of, each hedge. When it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In addition, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The Company attempts to limit this exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions that meet the Company’s credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts, and by monitoring the Company’s credit exposure to each counterparty in light of its current credit quality.
Each of the agreements permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default and certain termination events. The Company has elected to not offset derivative asset and liability positions in the balance sheet with the same counterparty under the same agreement. Derivatives are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The earnings impact is reported in interest expense to match the underlying transaction. To the extent the change in fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized in interest expense. There are no ineffective portions of these hedges recognized in current period earnings.
Other Assets
Other assets includes deferred charges, deposits, deferred rent relating to leases, and insurance receivables. The deferred charges consists of payments of $6,125 made to a customer during fiscal year 2014, which were recorded at cost and are amortized as a reduction to revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the customer contract. During each of fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, $687 was recognized as a reduction to revenue. As of January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, respectively, $2,347 and $3,034 remains unamortized, of which $687 is current in each year. Other assets also includes refundable security deposits, deferred rent, and other of $12,957 and $11,972 as of January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable when compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment has been recognized during fiscal years 2019, 2018, or 2017.

Claim reserves for property damage and general liability represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate liability, including estimable legal fees that have not been incurred, for all asserted and unasserted losses incurred through year end. The property damage and general liability reserves are estimated using individual case-basis valuations. Although variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the reserves for property damage and general liability are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as claims develop or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations. Anticipated recoveries from insurance coverage are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as insurance recoveries receivable.
Debt Issuance Fees
Certain debt issuance fees are capitalized in connection with the issuance of new debt instruments or the amendment of existing debt instruments. Capitalized debt issuance fees are recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the debt and are recognized over the life of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method of amortization.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company has money market funds that are included in cash equivalents and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and related-party receivables and payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of those amounts.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates, resulting in classification within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company’s counterparties. To estimate this credit spread, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At year end, there were no derivative contracts that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the current year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue from services provided to shipping lines and beneficial cargo owners. Services include loading and unloading containers from ocean-going vessels and movement and storage of containers. Customers are granted credit and payment is required in U.S. dollars.
Revenue is recognized and earned upon job completion when all of the following criteria are satisfied with regard to a specific transaction: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, cash collection is reasonably assured, and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company also earned revenue from providing labor and services to SSATLB through the effective date of the dissolution, as more fully described in Notes 5 and 8. The Company presents revenue earned from the sale of goods or services to SSATLB 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.
Taxes
The Company is not a tax-paying entity for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no federal income tax expense has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s results of operations are reportable by the members in their respective federal income tax returns.
Income and losses for income tax purposes may differ from the financial statement amounts and may be allocated to the members on a different basis for tax purposes than for financial reporting. Members’ equity in the financial statements does not necessarily represent the tax basis of the members’ interest.

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting members’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the changes in the unrecognized portion of pensions and other postretirement obligations and fluctuation in the fair value of cash flow hedges held by the Company that hedge interest rate risk, net of related tax effects. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, net of noncontrolling interests, are as follows:

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes $306 of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. The unrecognized portion of pensions and other postretirement obligations includes prior service costs and net losses of $162 and $4,147, respectively. The estimated prior service cost and net loss that will be amortized from the unrecognized portion of pensions and other postretirement obligations into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are and $27 and $198, respectively.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent event transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through April 5, 2019, the day the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-18 during the current year using the retrospective transition method. The Company included restricted cash equivalents in the ending balance reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows. A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash equivalents is included within Note 2.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 affects any lessee (for capital and operating leases) and lessor (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right of use asset for leases at the commencement date. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The FASB also issued several additional ASUs which provide further clarification of ASU 2016-02. The Company evaluated the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs and determined that recognition of the lease liability and right of use asset for terminal facility leases will have a significant impact to the consolidated balance sheets. Adoption is not expected to have a significant impact to the consolidated statements of operations. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective January 26, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value, and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date issued in August 2015 deferred the effective date to fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning fiscal year 2018. The FASB also issued several additional ASUs during subsequent years which provide further clarification of ASU 2014-09. The Company evaluated the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and other related ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures by analyzing its contracts and revenue streams. This process included identification of the nature and timing of transfer of control of goods and services and its relation to the timing of invoicing. Because of the analysis, the Company determined that the standard will not have a material effect on operations or the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 26, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method.
There were no new accounting standards adopted by the Company during the current year that had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Multiemployer Defined Benefit Plans
The Company contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit plans for certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, the largest of which covers employees from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).
The Company’s participation in multiemployer defined benefit plans is outlined in the table below. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available for fiscal year 2019 is for the plans’ year ended 2017. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plans, and is certified by the plans’ actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded and do not require a financial improvement plan (FIP) or rehabilitation plan (RP). The Company provided more than 5% of total plan contributions for the plan years ended 2017, 2016, and 2015 for the ILWU-PMA Pension Plan and Automotive Industries Pension Plans, and the Automotive Machinists Pension Trust for the plan year ended 2017, as reported in each plan’s Forms 5500.

Oakland Defined Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan for employees covered by a collective bargaining unit (hereafter referred to as “Oakland”). Benefits are based on years of service and on the employees’ highest average monthly compensation during any 60 consecutive months from the most recent 120 months. The Company annually accrues the normal costs of the pension plan plus the amortization of prior service costs over periods of up to 3 years. The Company funds the plan in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The accumulated benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets, and funded status for each year is as follows:

To develop its assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the Company considered the current level of expected returns on risk-free investments (primarily U.S. government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested, and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rates of return on assets assumption for the portfolio.

The Company has an investment policy for the pension plan assets that establishes target asset allocations. The asset allocation policy is reviewed annually and is developed based on the demographics of the plan participants together with the estimated actuarial obligations. The year-end asset allocation for the Company’s pension plan, which is consistent with the target allocation, is as follows:

Fixed income mutual funds consist of funds that invest in government and corporate fixed income instruments of varying maturities. U.S. equity mutual funds consist of various funds that invest in small, mid, and large cap companies. Non-U.S. equity mutual funds consist of funds that invest in equity securities that are designed to mirror a certain international large cap market index and emerging markets. Real asset mutual funds consist of funds that invest in commodity based instruments and real estate investment trusts. Mutual funds are based on quoted prices in active markets and are included within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The expected contributions to the pension plan in fiscal year 2020 are $151.

Other Postretirement Benefits
The Program
The Company maintains a postretirement health benefits program (the Program) for certain union retirees (including spouses), aged 55 or older, with 10 years or more of service. Through the Program, the Company pays the full cost of medical, prescription drug, and dental coverage. No assets have been segregated or restricted to provide these postretirement benefits. The Company funds the Program and expenses the premiums monthly after premiums have been determined.

The discount rates used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation at January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, were 4.13% and 3.83%, respectively. For measurement purposes, the Program assumed an annual increase rate per capita cost of covered health care benefits for the fiscal years ended January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, of 4.50% to 6.50% and 4.50% to 6.80%, respectively, depending on the benefit. The rate trend was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.50% through 2037 and remain at that level thereafter.
Medigap
The Company participates in a postretirement benefit plan (Medigap) sponsored by SSA’s parent. The plan provides postretirement healthcare benefits to substantially all non-union employees employed by the Company on January 1, 2005 and meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company made a contribution of $40, $94, and $157 during fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, expenses related to the plan were allocated to the Company by the plan sponsor and recognized by the Company in the amounts of $380, $361, and $410, respectively. The cumulative expense allocated to the Company exceeds its cumulative contributions by $3,140 and is recorded as a liability in postretirement benefits. To protect against the uncertainty of future Medicare benefits and increases in the cost of medical care, the Program was amended to place a 5% annual cap on future increases in the cost of providing Medicare supplement insurance borne by the Company. The cap took effect beginning January 1, 2011.

12. Revolving Credit Facilities
SSA Terminals Revolving Credit Agreement
The Company has a revolving credit agreement with a bank providing revolving loans and letters of credit. This agreement was amended and restated on August 29, 2018, to extend the term until December 31, 2023, and increase the credit facility by $20,000 aggregating $40,000 at year end. At January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving loans. The aggregate face value of all letters of credit outstanding at any time may not exceed $40,000, and each letter of credit must expire on or before December 31, 2024. At January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, there was $16,394 outstanding in letters of credit. The revolving loans and letters of credit are collateralized by certain accounts receivable and general intangibles. The Company is obligated to pay an annual commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the committed revolving credit facility of 0.40%. The Company has the option of electing from interest rate options, which include a prime-based or a LIBOR-based rate. The rate in effect at January 25, 2019, was 4.00%, which included a LIBOR rate of 2.50% and a margin of 1.50%.
SSATO Revolving Credit Agreement
On September 18, 2018, SSATO signed a revolving credit agreement with a syndicated bank group providing revolving loans and letters of credit aggregating $30,000 until September 18, 2023. At January 25, 2019, there were $23,486 in letters of credit outstanding and no revolving loans outstanding. The aggregate face value of all letters of credit outstanding at any time may not exceed $30,000, and each letter of credit must expire on or before August 18, 2023. The letters of credit and revolving loans are collateralized by certain accounts receivable and general intangibles. SSATO is obligated to pay an annual commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the committed revolving credit facility of 0.675%. SSATO has the option of electing from interest rate options, which include a prime-based or a LIBOR-based rate subject to a floor of zero. The rate in effect at January 25, 2019, was 4.75%, which included a LIBOR rate of 2.50% and a margin of 2.25%.

13. Financing Agreement (continued)
SSATO Credit Agreement
On September 18, 2018, SSATO signed a five-year credit agreement (SSATO Credit Agreement) with a syndicated bank group, which consisted of a $100,000 term loan and a $30,000 secured revolving credit facility (Note 12). Interest due under the SSATO Credit Agreement is based on a prime-based rate or LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%, subject to a floor of zero; repayment of the term loan is due on September 18, 2023. Further, a certain percentage of SSATO’s calculated excess cash flow (as defined by the Credit Agreement) must be used to retire principal of the term loan on a quarterly basis in year five of the SSATO Credit Agreement.
Principal payments for the SSATO Credit Agreement are calculated based on excess cash flow for the most recent fiscal quarter, and are not due until 2022 per the terms of the agreement. The payment will be approximately $7,559, with the remaining payment of $92,441 due in 2023.
Amortization of debt issuance fees during the year resulted in a charge of $272 to interest expense. The weighted-average effective interest rate for the Credit Agreement is 4.78%. During the year, SSATO paid interest of $1,310.
The obligations under the SSATO Credit Agreement are collateralized by a pledge of the capital stock of SSATO and certain assets. SSATO has met its obligation under the SSATO Credit Agreement to hedge a minimum of 75% of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan for four years. See Note 14 for a discussion of the related hedge activity. Debt covenants in the SSATO Credit Agreement require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and limit dividends until certain requirements are met. At year end, SSATO was in compliance with all covenants.
SSATS Credit Agreement
During a prior year, the Company and CST funded $13,140 to SSATS based upon their ratable ownership percentage in the form of a loan, the due date of which had been extended during the year to be repayable on or before December 31, 2020. The loan bears interest of 2.0% per annum and is payable upon maturity. On a consolidated basis, the loan from the Company is eliminated. The balance of $4,380 as of January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, owed to CST is recorded as a member loan, with accrued interest of $528 and $439 as of January 25, 2019 and January 26, 2018, respectively.

14. Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt and the economic impact of the variable interest rate exposure. SSATO has entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. The maximum length of time in which SSATO is hedging the exposure to the variability in future cash flows is four years.
The fair value of interest rate swap liabilities (designated as hedges) are as follows:

The cash flows from cash flow hedges are classified within the consolidated statements of operations in the same category as interest expense and totaled $28 for fiscal year 2019. The estimated accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the swap that will be reclassified into interest expense in the following year is approximately $377.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
Lease commitments primarily include operating leases for container terminal facilities. The Company’s leases expire at various dates through 2039 and contain renewal options of up to 15 years. One terminal facility lease includes an automatic renewal option and the option to renew for an additional period conditioned upon the lessor providing certain evidence and legal opinions to bond financing parties by the end of the initial and extended terms. Another terminal facility lease includes a 5 year automatic renewal option conditioned upon the lessor receiving a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and a legal opinion from bond counsel by the end of the initial term. The 5 year automatic renewal option is reflected in the commitment table below.
The leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments which are recognized on a straight-line basis. Certain leases include rents which are contingent upon changes in the consumer price index and/or fair market value as determined by the lessor. These contingent amounts are excluded from future minimum rents and are included in rent expense when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Wharfage and dockage expenses under certain leases are based upon wharfage and dockage rates provided by the respective ports. Wharfage rates are decreased when certain annual volume thresholds are exceeded within a 12-month period, subjected to negotiated minimums. The Company recognizes as rental expense the aggregate contracted minimum guaranteed wharfage and dockage charges on a per unit basis and records lease levelization expense or benefit to the extent that cash payments differ from the expense.
The levelization of the wharfage and dockage expense and the minimum guarantee have resulted in a current prepaid lease asset of $18,941 and $17,809, and other long-term liabilities of $40,725 and $18,594 at January 25, 2019, and January 26, 2018, respectively.
Construction Obligations
During a prior year, the Company agreed to a Consent Decree which obligated the Company to install an end-of-pipe stormwater treatment system at one of its facilities. The project is to be completed in stages from 2016 until 2020, with the lessor sharing approximately 50% of the costs of installation. The remaining capital expenditures related to the stormwater treatment system in total are anticipated to be approximately $10,600 and may be as much as $12,800.

15. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
During a prior year, the SSATO terminal operations lease was amended to allow the Company to raise up to six port-owned cranes on the leased property. The lessor will reimburse the Company for the lesser of actual costs or $3,500 per crane.
The Company manages these projects and bears construction risk, including making payments subsequently reimbursed by the lessors. At January 25, 2019, $22,034 and $10,819 have been capitalized with respect to the stormwater treatment system and crane raising projects, respectively. At January 25, 2019, a long-term liability of $9,543 and $10,085 equal to project costs funded by the lessor has been recorded related to the stormwater treatment system and crane raising projects, respectively. Lease payments reduce the liability and result in the recording of interest expense over the life of the lease, calculated using an effective interest method.
Purchase Commitments
The Company’s estimated total purchase obligations and capital expenditure contractual commitments were $38,289 at January 25, 2019.
Other
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims during the ordinary course of business. Other than disclosed, the Company currently is not aware of any additional legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
16. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to year-end, the Company made distributions to members totaling $14,280.
On April 1, 2019, the Company and Terminal Investment Limited Sarl (TIL) formed a joint venture (the Joint Venture) to provide container stevedoring and other terminal services in the Port of Seattle. On or before July 1, 2019, the Company will contribute assets and TIL will contribute $25,000 for ownership interests of 75% and 25% respectively.
Effective April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a lease in the Port of Seattle which terminates March 15, 2021. Concurrently, the Joint Venture executed a second lease commencing on the later of March 15, 2021 or the substantial completion of certain development work for a period of approximately 29.75 years with two 5 year options to extend. Rent will be phased from approximately $24 to $150 per acre. Subsequent per acre rent increases are contingent upon changes to the consumer price index as determined by the lessor. The Joint Venture is committed to install a minimum of 4 cranes by January 1, 2021 or completion of the development work, whichever is later. The Joint Venture will manage and bear construction risk over installation of the end-of-pipe stormwater treatment system to be completed in stages to 2023, including making payments subsequently reimbursed by lessors.
