FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MATSON, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

2Q21 EPS of $3.71 vs. $0.76 in 2Q20
2Q21 Net Income of $162.5 million vs. $32.8 million in 2Q20
2Q21 EBITDA of $254.3 million vs. $86.2 million in 2Q20
Year-over-year increase in consolidated operating income driven primarily by China service strength
Domestic tradelane volumes in 2Q21 well above pandemic low volumes in 2Q20; strong Hawaii volume as tourism and economy rebounds from pandemic lows

HONOLULU, Hawaii (July 29, 2021) – Matson, Inc. (“Matson” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $162.5 million, or $3.71 per diluted share, for the quarter ended

June 30, 2021. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $32.8 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. Consolidated revenue for the second quarter 2021 was $874.9 million compared with $524.1 million for the second quarter 2020.

“Matson’s Ocean Transportation and Logistics businesses continued to perform well in the second quarter as the U.S. economy further recovers from the pandemic,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Matt Cox. “Within Ocean Transportation, our China service continued to see significant demand for its expedited CLX and CLX+ ocean services, which was the primary driver of the increase in consolidated operating income year-over-year. The supply chain environment continues to be marked by widespread congestion and pressure points at critical junctures for both ocean and overland transportation. We remain focused on what Matson does best, which is maintaining reliable tradelane services and helping our customers in Ocean Transportation and Logistics manage through this unique and difficult period of congestion.”

Mr. Cox added, “In our domestic ocean tradelanes, we continued to see improving demand as the local economies further reopen with meaningfully higher year-over-year volumes compared to the pandemic volume lows in the second quarter of last year. In Hawaii, we experienced elevated westbound freight demand as the state’s tourism and economy rebounded sharply from the pandemic lows. In Logistics, operating income increased year-over-year compared to the pandemic low operating income achieved in the year ago period as we continued to see elevated goods consumption and inventory restocking in addition to favorable supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.”

Second Quarter 2021 Discussion and Update on Business Conditions

Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the second quarter 2021 was 9.9 percent higher year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to higher retail and hospitality-related demand due to the reopening of the Hawaii economy compared to the pandemic low in the year ago period, partially offset by volume associated with the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period. Domestic visitor travel to the state accelerated since the beginning of the year and the local economy continued to reopen with COVID-19 vaccinations, leading to a sharp rebound in Hawaii’s tourism industry and economy. The economic recovery in the state is on a cautiously optimistic trajectory due to improving tourism and unemployment trends.

In China, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2021 increased 59.1 percent year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to incremental volume from the CLX+ service in addition to higher volume in the CLX service as a result of our increased capacity in the tradelane. The total number of eastbound voyages in the China service increased by nine year-over-year of which six were from incremental CLX+ voyages and three from extra loaders. Volume demand in the quarter was driven by e-commerce, garments and other goods. Matson continued to realize a significant rate premium in the second quarter 2021 and achieved average freight rates that were considerably higher than in the year ago period. Currently in the Transpacific tradelane, supply chain congestion continues, and consumption trends remain elevated. We expect these conditions to remain in place and lead to a high level of demand at least until Lunar New Year in the first quarter of 2022. As a result of the exceptional level of demand for our expedited Transpacific services, Matson recently announced the initiation of our CCX service as a seasonal string with Matson-owned vessels from China to the U.S. West Coast with Oakland as the first call. Consequently, we expect our vessels in the CLX, CLX+ and CCX services to be operating at capacity at least until Lunar New Year next year.

In Guam, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2021 increased 35.7 percent year-over-year primarily due to higher retail-related demand compared to the pandemic low in the year ago period as well as volume attributable to a competitor’s schedule issues. The economic recovery trajectory in Guam remains uncertain as the economy recovers slowly and tourism remains constrained.

In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the second quarter 2021 increased 15.2 percent year-over-year due to higher northbound volume primarily due to (i) higher retail-related demand compared to the pandemic low in the year ago period, (ii) higher southbound volume and (iii) the addition of volume from the Alaska-Asia Express service, partially offset by one less northbound sailing. In the near-term, we expect improving economic trends in Alaska, but the recovery’s trajectory continues to remain uncertain.

The contribution in the second quarter 2021 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $12.8 million, or $9.1 million higher than the second quarter 2020. The increase was driven by higher lift volume.

Logistics: In the second quarter 2021, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $12.9 million, or $4.0 million higher compared to the pandemic low operating income achieved in the second quarter 2020. The increase was due primarily to higher contributions from transportation brokerage, freight forwarding and supply chain management as a result of elevated goods consumption and inventory restocking in addition to favorable supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $272.1 million, or 66.2 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in China and Hawaii, higher fuel-related surcharge revenue and higher revenue in Alaska and Guam.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume increased 9.9 percent primarily due to higher retail and hospitality-related demand due to the reopening of the Hawaii economy compared to the pandemic low in the year ago period as a result of the state’s COVID-19 mitigation efforts, including restrictions on tourism, partially offset by volume associated with the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period; Alaska volume increased 15.2 percent due to higher northbound volume primarily due to higher retail-related demand compared to the pandemic low in the year ago period as a result of the state’s COVID-19 mitigation efforts, higher southbound volume and the addition of volume from the Alaska-Asia Express service, partially offset by one less northbound sailing; China volume was 59.1 percent higher primarily due to incremental volume from the CLX+ service in addition to higher volume in the CLX service as a result of our increased capacity in the tradelane; Guam volume was 35.7 percent higher primarily due to higher retail-related demand compared to the pandemic low in the year ago period as a result of the island’s COVID-19 mitigation measures as well as volume attributable to a competitor’s schedule issues; and Other containers volume increased 33.3 percent primarily due to higher volume in Okinawa.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $158.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher contributions from the China and Hawaii services and SSAT, partially offset by higher vessel operating costs, higher terminal handling costs and higher depreciation.

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $12.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a contribution of $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by higher lift volume.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $431.7 million, or 53.2 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in China, Hawaii and Guam.

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $22.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a contribution of $7.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was largely attributable to higher lift volume.

(1)Total Debt is presented before any reduction for deferred loan fees as required by GAAP.
(2)EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income plus income taxes, 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.
