FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MATSON, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
| ● | 2Q23 EPS of $2.26 |
| ● | 2Q23 Net Income and EBITDA of $80.8 million and $140.5 million, respectively |
| ● | Year-over-year decrease in 2Q23 consolidated operating income driven primarily by lower contribution from China service |
| ● | Repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares in 2Q23 |
HONOLULU, Hawaii (August 1, 2023) – Matson, Inc. (“Matson” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $80.8 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $380.7 million, or $9.49 per diluted share. Consolidated revenue for the second quarter 2023 was $773.4 million compared with $1,261.1 million for the second quarter 2022.
“Matson’s Ocean Transportation and Logistics business segments performed well despite a challenging business environment and sluggish economic growth,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Matt Cox. “Within Ocean Transportation, our China service saw higher sequential quarterly freight demand but generated lower year-over-year volume and freight rates, which were the primary contributors to the year-over-year decline in our consolidated operating income. Currently in the Transpacific marketplace, we are seeing modest reductions in deployed capacity and retail inventories are in a relatively better position than earlier in the year, but retailers continue to carefully manage inventory levels in the face of lower consumer demand. We further expect the tradelane to experience a muted peak season, but for Matson, we expect our China service to be near full during the traditional peak season. Absent an economic ‘hard landing’ in the U.S., we continue to expect trade dynamics to gradually improve for the remainder of the year as the Transpacific marketplace transitions to a more normalized level of consumer demand and retail inventory stocking levels. Regardless of the economic environment, we expect to continue to earn a significant rate premium to the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index reflecting our fast and reliable ocean services and unmatched destination services.”
Mr. Cox added, “In our domestic ocean tradelanes, we saw lower year-over-year volumes in Hawaii, Alaska and Guam compared to the year ago period. The year-over-year decline in Hawaii volume was primarily due to lower retail-related volume. The year-over-year volume declines in Guam and Alaska were primarily driven by lower general demand and lower seafood volume, respectively. In Logistics, operating income decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower contributions from transportation brokerage and supply chain management.”
“We expect Matson’s consolidated operating income in the third quarter of 2023 to be higher than the level achieved in the second quarter. We also expect the fourth quarter consolidated operating income to approach the level achieved in the first quarter of 2023,” said Mr. Cox.

Second Quarter 2023 Discussion and Update on Business Conditions
Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the second quarter 2023 was 7.1 percent lower year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to lower retail-related volume. During the quarter, the Company saw retail customers continue to manage inventories to weaker consumer demand levels despite continued economic growth in Hawaii supported by a low unemployment rate and relatively strong visitor arrivals. In the second half of 2023, Matson expects continued improvement in the Hawaii economy supported by continued growth in visitor arrivals and a low unemployment rate.
In China, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2023 decreased 24.6 percent year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to (i) CCX volume in the second quarter 2022 (CCX service was discontinued in the third quarter 2022), (ii) lower capacity in the CLX service due to the dry-docking of Daniel K. Inouye and (iii) one less CLX+ sailing. Matson continued to realize a significant rate premium over the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (“SCFI”) in the second quarter 2023 but achieved average freight rates that were lower than in the year ago period. Currently in the Transpacific marketplace, the Company is seeing modest reductions in deployed capacity and retail inventories are in a relatively better position than earlier in the year, but retailers continue to carefully manage inventory levels in the face of lower consumer demand. The Company further expects the tradelane to experience a muted peak season, but for Matson, the Company expects its China service to be near full during the traditional peak season. Absent an economic “hard landing” in the U.S., the Company continues to expect trade dynamics to gradually improve for the remainder of the year as the Transpacific marketplace transitions to a more normalized level of consumer demand and retail inventory stocking levels. Regardless of the economic environment, the Company expects to continue to earn a significant rate premium to the SCFI reflecting its fast and reliable ocean services and unmatched destination services.
In Guam, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2023 decreased 7.5 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand. In the second half of 2023, the Company expects continued improvement in the Guam economy with a low unemployment rate and a modest increase in tourism from low levels.
In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the second quarter 2023 decreased 7.2 percent year-over-year due to (i) lower export seafood volume from the Alaska-Asia Express service (“AAX”), (ii) lower northbound volume due to one less sailing and (iii) lower southbound volume primarily due to lower household goods and domestic seafood volume. In the second half of 2023, the Company expects the Alaska economy to continue to benefit from low unemployment and increased energy-related exploration and production activity as a result of elevated oil prices.
The contribution in the second quarter 2023 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $(1.4) million, or $26.1 million lower than the second quarter 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demurrage revenue and lower lift volume.
Logistics: In the second quarter 2023, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $14.3 million, or $8.8 million lower compared to the level achieved in the second quarter 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower contributions from transportation brokerage and supply chain management.

Ocean Transportation revenue decreased $432.3 million, or 41.2 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower average freight rates and volume in China.
On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased 7.1 percent primarily due to lower retail-related volume; Alaska volume decreased 7.2 percent due to (i) lower export seafood volume from the AAX, (ii) lower northbound volume due to one less sailing and (iii) lower southbound volume primarily due to lower household goods and domestic seafood volume; China volume was 24.6 percent lower primarily due to (a) CCX volume in the second quarter 2022 (CCX service was discontinued in the third quarter 2022), (b) lower capacity in the CLX service due to the dry-docking of Daniel K. Inouye and (c) one less CLX+ sailing; Guam volume was 7.5 percent lower primarily due to lower general demand; and Other containers volume decreased 29.0 percent.
Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $387.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower freight rates and volume in China and a lower contribution from SSAT, partially offset by (i) lower operating costs and expenses (including fuel-related expenses) primarily related to the discontinuation of the CCX service and (ii) lower fuel costs and the timing of fuel-related surcharge collections.
The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $(1.4) million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a contribution of $24.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demurrage revenue and lower lift volume.

We believe that our expectations and assumptions are reasonable.

Statements made during this presentation are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements. |
| 3 Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call Opening Remarks • Matson’s Ocean Transportation and Logistics business segments performed well despite a challenging business environment and sluggish economic growth • Ocean Transportation 2Q23: – Our China service saw higher sequential quarterly freight demand but generated lower year-over-year volume and freight rates, which were the primary contributors to the decline in our consolidated operating income – Lower year-over-year volumes in Hawaii, Alaska and Guam compared to year ago period • Logistics 2Q23: – Lower YoY operating income primarily due to lower contributions from transportation brokerage and supply chain management |
| 4 Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call Hawaii Service Second Quarter 2023 Performance • Container volume decreased 7.1% YoY – Lower retail-related volume – 2Q23 volume 3.4% lower than volume achieved in 2Q19 • During 2Q23, total visitor arrivals increased modestly YoY with an increase in international visitor arrivals partially offset by a decline in domestic visitor arrivals Container Volume (FEU Basis) 25,000 27,000 29,000 31,000 33,000 35,000 37,000 39,000 41,000 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2022 2023 (7.1)% |

Inouye – One less CLX+ sailing • Lower average freight rates YoY, but well above 2Q19 rates (24.6)% |
| 7 Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Current Business Trends • Currently in the Transpacific marketplace, we are seeing modest reductions in deployed capacity and retail inventories are in a relatively better position than earlier in the year, but retailers continue to carefully manage inventory levels in the face of lower consumer demand • We further expect the tradelane to experience a muted peak season, but for Matson, we expect our China service to be near full during the traditional peak season • Absent an economic “hard landing” in the U.S., we continue to expect trade dynamics to gradually improve for the remainder of the year as the Transpacific marketplace transitions to a more normalized level of consumer demand and retail inventory stocking levels • Regardless of the economic environment, we expect to continue to earn a significant rate premium to the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) reflecting our fast and reliable ocean services and unmatched destination services |
| 8 Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Elements of Demand • CLX is the fastest • CLX+ is the second fastest • Significant cost savings for 5 to 7 days of additional transit time Unmatched Destination Services: The consistency of our service is a significant differentiator in the marketplace. • High level of service at origin and destination Economically Advantageous Compared to Air Freight: “High Touch” Customer Service: Fast, Reliable Ocean Transit: • 24-hour cargo availability • Ownership and control of our chassis • Only U.S. Customs bonded off-dock facility in LA/Long Beach providing quick turn times Demand for Matson’s China Service |

| 10 Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call Alaska Service Second Quarter 2023 Performance • Container volume decreased 7.2% YoY – Lower export seafood volume from AAX – Lower northbound volume due to one less sailing – Lower southbound volume primarily due to lower household goods and domestic seafood volume • 2Q23 volume 9.0% higher than volume achieved in 2Q19 Container Volume (FEU Basis) 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 20,000 22,000 24,000 26,000 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2022 2023 (7.2)% Current Business Trends • In the near-term, expect Alaska economy to continue to benefit from: – Low unemployment – Increased energy-related exploration and production |
