A Look at 2020 NOTE: Numbers used in this slide include previously disclosed: (i) approximately $30 million of total benefits from the 4 new vessels, the magnitude and timing of benefits subject to change based on fleet configuration and in-service timing; (ii) the expected financial pay-back benefits from the exhaust gas scrubber installations; and (iii) benefits from the new crane installations and modifications to existing cranes and other infrastructure investments at the Sand Island terminal. Actual operating cost reductions and additional revenue achieved may vary compared to those used in our projection of benefits. These benefits exclude the net effects of any changes in business activity in the tradelanes and should not be construed to mean that the Company’s Outlook for 2020 will be $30 million higher than 2019. The Company is making no statement regarding overall 2020 Outlook at this time. We expect approximately $30 million in financial benefits in 2020 from new vessels and other infrastructure investments and $40 million annually thereafter. 2019 is a transition year with several significant investment programs nearing finalization Reaffirm the previously mentioned financial benefits of the new vessels Some portion of these benefits already being captured in fiscal 2019 with Daniel K. Inouye and Kaimana Hila in service, the impact of which is included in our full year 2019 Outlook In 2020, we expect approximately $30 million in incremental financial benefits compared to 2019 comprised of: Vessel benefits of a 9 ship deployment for a full year, reduced operating and maintenance expenses, utilization of the newly installed exhaust gas scrubbers, autos/rolling stock garage capacity utilization, and larger capacity vessel in the CLX; and Crane and other infrastructure investments at Sand Island In 2021 and thereafter, we expect approximately $40 million in annual benefits compared to 2019, due to full year run-rates from all investments

IMO 2020 and Fuel Strategy IMO 2020 regulation: all vessels worldwide restricted to 0.5% sulfur content fuel Current options available to Matson to comply with IMO 2020 regulations: Matson will be 100% compliant with IMO 2020 regulations. 0.5% Distillate Expensive Prolonged use could lead to higher “wear and tear” 0.5% Residual Expensive Availability in our ports is main concern Some “wear and tear” possible Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (“Scrubbers”) Less expensive Heavy Fuel Oil We have a history with scrubbers in Alaska service; short pay-back period Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) Less expensive LNG Infrastructure lacking in the major U.S. West Coast ports Matson’s Strategy: In August 2018, announced investment in (3) scrubbers on the 2600s at a cost of $9 million per install In May 2019, announced that will invest in (3) additional scrubbers at a cost of $10 million per install New vessels will run on compliant fuel while determining use of LNG or scrubbers

Sand Island Investments Overview Phase I: $60 million crane program (announced August 2017) Three new gantry cranes and retrofit of three existing gantry cranes Demolition of four existing cranes Requires electrification and other related infrastructure upgrades Phase II: Yard and gate upgrade Lane expansion with automated gate Start in 2020 Approximately 1 year project Phase III: Piers 51A and 51B expansion Timing based on Pasha moving to Kapālama Container Terminal (KCT) in 2022/2023 Work involved includes demolition and rebuild to work operationally with the remaining Sand Island pier operations Approximately 1 year project The Sand Island investments we are making today are meant to address increased volume and activity over the next 40-50 years.

Sand Island Investments Overview (continued) Matson is conducting Ro-Ro and Lo-Lo operations at two different pier locations Adds the expense of shifting vessel (e.g., fuel, labor, tugs and pilots) Terminal is congested, which is leading to increased inefficiencies and operating costs Existing cranes are not capable of working the capacity of the new vessels Several existing cranes are 40 years old Risk of reduced availability Increasing maintenance costs with age Issues with Current Configuration After Phase III of Terminal Upgrade Matson can conduct all operations on Sand Island Can manage peak container periods without the use of The Annex Expect increased productivity and lower costs with congestion issues addressed New and upgraded cranes will be able to manage peak container volumes inbound and outbound

Concluding Remarks In the late innings on the new vessel build program. When Lurline enters service will step down to a 9-ship deployment End of the steamship era when Old Matsonia is replaced by Lurline Majority of financial benefits of the new vessels around the corner Honolulu terminal investments will add to our competitive advantages. New cranes in place and other infrastructure work for Phase I headed towards completion in the first half of 2020 Honolulu terminal investments to reduce congestion/complexity and increase efficiency Matson’s terminal will be the most efficient in the trade Well-positioned for IMO 2020 regulations. 6 scrubber installations planned; by end of 2020, 8 of 12 active vessels in core tradelanes will have scrubbers installed Maintain optionality on fuel strategy for lowest cost solutions for Matson and its customers

Appendix – 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, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), and Net Debt/EBITDA.

 

 NET DEBT RECONCILIATION (In millions)       June 30,2019  Total Debt: $844.6 Less: Cash and cash equaivalents (24.0) Net Debt $820.6

EBITDA RECONCILIATION (In millions) Three Months Ended June 30, Last Twelve Months 2019 2018 Change Net Income $ 18.4 $ 32.6 $ (14.2) $ 93.1 Add: Income taxes Add: Interest expense Add: Depreciation and amortization Add: Dry-dock amortization 7.3 8.8 (1.5) 27.9 6.1 5.0 1.1 19.4 24.0 23.8 0.2 93.4 9.1 9.1 — 36.3 $ 64.9 $ 79.3 $ (14.4) $ 270.1 EBITDA (1) Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions) 2019 2018 Change Net Income Add: Income taxes Add: Interest expense Add: Depreciation and amortization Add: Dry-dock amortization EBITDA (1) $ 30.9 46.8 (15.9) $ $ 8.3 19.1 (10.8) 10.7 10.0 0.7 47.1 47.2 (0.1) 17.2 18.3 (1.1) $ 114.2 $ 141.4 $ (27.2)

(1)    EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income plus income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization (including defferd 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  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 convenant compliance
