New Accounting Pronouncements:

   Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”): The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 commencing the first quarter in 2018 using the modified retrospective method.  This method allows the Company to recognize the cumulative effectMeasurement of initially applying ASU 2014-09 as an adjustment to retained earnings as of December 31, 2017.  Prior to adopting ASU 2014-09, the Company performed a review of its revenue contracts and evaluated the Company’s current accounting policies and procedures for recognizing revenues in the Company’s ConsolidatedCredit Losses on Financial Statements, and compared these to the new requirements of ASU 2014-09.  In addition, the Company identified the performance obligations and consideration applicable under each contract.

Based upon our evaluation, the Company determined that the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 is immaterial because the analysis of the Company’s contracts under ASU 2014-09 supports the recognition of revenue over time as the service is performed, which is consistent with the Company’s current revenue recognition accounting policy.  The majority of the Company’s contracts require the Company to provide ocean and logistics transportation services to its customers.  Such services are provided by the Company over a period of time, generally, when cargo is being delivered from source to destination point, or as the service is being performed.  Therefore, performance obligations are completed in a short period of time due to the nature of the services provided by the Company.  Under the new standard, revenues from the majority of the Company’s contracts will continue to be recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of these services as described in ASU 2014-09.  In addition, the identification of performance obligations and related consideration under the new standard is not materially different from our current accounting treatment.

Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),Instruments (“ASU 2018-02”2016-13”):  In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2018-02 allows2016‑13 which amends the current approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial assets, including trade and other receivables, available-for-sale securities and other financial instruments.  ASU 2016‑13 requires entities to establish a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earningsvaluation allowance for the remeasurement tax effects resulting fromexpected lifetime losses of certain financial instruments.  Subsequent changes in the Tax Act.  The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02 during the three months ended March 31, 2018,valuation allowance are recorded in current earnings and recorded a reclassification adjustmentreversal of $6.0 million between accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and retained earnings (see Note 7).

Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”):  ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their income statements in a manner similar to current practice.  ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments, and a right-of-use asset for the underlying leased asset for the period of the lease term.previous losses is permitted.  The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 20182019, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is in the process of evaluating this new standard, but does not expect the implementationadoption of this guidance.

Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), ImprovingASU 2016‑13 to have a significant impact on the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”):  ASU 2017-07 requires employees that sponsor defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered, and that only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization.  The other components of the net periodic benefit cost must be presented separately from the line item that includes the service cost component and outside of the income from operations subtotal.  The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and recorded a retrospective reclassification adjustment of $(0.8) million from costs and expenses to other income (expenses) in the CondensedCompany’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Financial Statements.

 

 

3.          REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

 

Reportable segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.  The Company'sCompany’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.

Table of Contents

The Company consists of two reportable segments, Ocean Transportation and Logistics, which are further described in Note 1.  Reportable segments are measured based on operating income, exclusive of interest expense and income taxes.  In arrangements where the customer purchases ocean transportation and logistics services, the revenues are allocated to each reportable segment based upon the contractual amounts for each type of service.  The Company’s Terminal Joint Venture segment has been aggregated into the Company’s Ocean Transportation segment due to the operations of the Terminal Joint Venture being an integral part of the Company’s Ocean Transportation business.

 

The Company’s Ocean Transportation segment provides ocean transportation services to the Logistics segment, and the Logistics segment provides logistics services to the Ocean Transportation segment.  Accordingly, inter-segment revenue of $18.3$21.8 million and $16.9$18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, have been eliminated from operating revenue in the table below.

The Company’s debt is described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are classified as long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as principal payments are not required until the maturity date of June 29, 2022. 

 

As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had $285.4$246.5 million of remaining availability under the revolving credit facility.  The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility approximated 3.073.97 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019.

 

7.          LEASES

Adoption of ASC 842:  The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and made the following elections:

§

Applied the transition requirements that resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.4 million recorded to retained earnings at January 1, 2019, due to the elimination of deferred gains from the Company’s sale and leaseback transactions recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018;

§

Elected to apply the package of practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance which allows, among other things, the historical lease classification and initial direct costs to be carried forward;

§

Elected the short-term lease exception which allows the Company to exclude leases with an initial term of one year or less from recognition on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets;

§

Elected to separate non-lease components by underlying asset class for real estate and terminal leases and operations equipment leases; and

§

Elected to use a portfolio approach in applying discount rates to leases based upon the lease terms in the following categories: (i) one to five years; (ii) six to ten years; (iii) eleven to fifteen years; and (iv) sixteen years and greater, regardless of the type of underlying asset class.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of approximately $251.4 million, a corresponding operating lease liability of $259.1 million, and de-recognized deferred rent of $7.7 million.  The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s current earnings, liquidity or existing debt covenant requirements.  Significant assumptions and judgments made in applying the new lease accounting standard include determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and evaluating the probability of exercising lease options.

Table of Contents

7.Description of Operating Leases:  The Company has a variety of different types of operating leases, the specific terms and conditions of which vary from lease to lease.  Certain operating lease agreements include terms such as: (i) renewal and early termination options; (ii) early buy-out and purchase options; and (iii) rent escalation clauses.  The lease agreements also include provisions for the maintenance of the leased asset and payment of lease related costs.  The Company reviews the specific terms and conditions of each lease and, as appropriate, notifies the lessor of any intent to exercise any option in accordance with the terms of the lease.  In the normal course of business, the Company expects to be able to renew or replace most of its operating leases by other similar leases as they expire.  Except for the residual value guarantee described below, the Company’s leases do not contain any other residual value guarantees. 

The Company’s sub-lease income was nominal to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The Company did not have any finance leases during the three month period ended March 31, 2019.  Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments that may be adjusted in the future based on economic conditions and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation.  Variable lease expense is disclosed for the adjusted portion of such payments.

The lease type by underlying asset class and maximum terms of the Company’s operating leases are as follows:

Lease Type:

Life 

Real estate and terminal leases

65 years

Vessel charter leases

10 years

Operations equipment and other leases

8 years

Incremental Borrowing Rate:  As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the date of adoption and subsequent lease commencement dates in calculating the present value of its operating lease liabilities.  The incremental borrowing rate is determined using the U.S. Treasury rate adjusted to account for the Company’s credit rating and the collateralized nature of operating leases.

Components of Lease Cost:  Components of lease cost recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of the following:

Residual Value Guarantee:  On November 26, 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Bareboat Charter Agreement (the “Charter”).  Charter lease payments are approximately $3.0 million per quarter and are included in the operating lease liabilities described above.  The base term of the Charter is a five year period with a two year end-of-term renewal option.  The Charter also includes a maximum residual value guarantee amount of $50.9 million after five years, or $47.7 million after the extended term.  The residual value guarantee is excluded from operating lease liabilities described above as the Company determined that it is not probable that any portion of the residual value guarantee will be paid by the Company.  The Charter and residual value guarantee are described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

8.9.          FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company values its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques for fair value measurements.  Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.  If the technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.

 

The Company uses Level 1 inputs for the fair values of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and Level 2 inputs for its CCF – cash on deposit, and variable and fixed rate debt.  The fair values of cash, and cash equivalents CCF –and restricted cash, on deposit, and variable rate debt approximate their carrying values due to the nature of the instruments.  The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt is calculated based upon interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements.

The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time, including, but not limited to, the risk factors that are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of Matson’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company assumes no duty to and does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a discussion of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect its future results from the perspective of management.  The discussion that follows is intended to provide information that will assist in understanding the changes in the Company’s financial statements from period to period, the primary factors that accounted for those changes, and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect the Company’s financial statements.  MD&A is provided as a supplement to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes herein, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, the Company’s reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, and other publicly available information.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

Ocean Transportation:  The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the first quarter 20182019 was 1.92.2 percent lower year-over-year primarily due primarily to lower eastbound volume asone less westbound volume was essentially flat.sailing and weather-related impacts.  The Hawaii economy continues to be strong,show economic growth, supported primarily by healthy tourism activity and low unemployment.  The Company expects flat-to-modest volume growthin 2019 to approximate the level achieved in 2018, reflecting a solidmodest economic growth in Hawaii economy and stable market share. 

 

In China, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 20182019 was 22.216.0 percent lowerhigher year-over-year largely due to two fewer sailingsone additional sailing and lowerstronger volume during thepost Lunar New Year period.Year.  Matson continued to realize a sizeable rate premium in the first quarter 20182019 and achieved average freight rates moderatelymodestly higher than the first quarter 2017.2018.  For 2018,2019, the Company expects pricing to remain as favorable andvolume to approximate the average rateexceptional level achieved in 20172018 and volumeexpects average freight rates to be modestly lower compared toapproach the levels achieved in 2017.2018.

In Guam, as expected, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 20182019 was lowerhigher on a year-over-year basis the result of competitive losses.primarily due to typhoon relief-related volume.  For 2018,2019, the Company expects a heightenedmodestly lower volume as the highly competitive environment and lower volume than the levels achieved in 2017.remains.

 

In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the first quarter 20182019 was 10.15.7 percent higherlower year-over-year, primarily due to an increasea decrease in northbound volume mainly related to the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period and one additionalless northbound sailing.  For 2018,2019, the Company expects volume to be modestly higher than the level achieved in 20172018 with improvement inhigher northbound volume partially offsetsupported by lowerimproving economic conditions in Alaska and higher southbound seafood-related volume due to a moderation from the very strongstronger seafood harvest levels than in 2017.2018.

 

The contribution in the first quarter 2019 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $2.0 million lower than the first quarter 2018 due primarily to the absence of favorable one-time items in the year ago period.  For 2019, the Company expects the contribution from SSAT to be lower as a result of lower lift volume coming off an exceptionally strong lift volume level in 2018.

As a result of the first quarter performance and the outlook trends noted above, the Company expects full year 20182019 Ocean Transportation operating income to be modestly higher thanapproximate the $128.8$131.1 million achieved in 2017.2018 after taking into account a full year net operating expense impact of $7.2 million associated with the sale and leaseback of MV Maunalei.  In the second quarter 2018,2019, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to approachbe moderately lower than the level achieved in the second quarter 2017.2018.

 

Logistics:  In the first quarter 2018,2019, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $2.3$3.9 million higher compared to the operating income achieved in the first quarter 20172018 due to improved performance across almost all of the service lines.  For 2018,2019, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be moderately higher than the $20.6 millionlevel achieved in 2017.2018 of $32.7 million.  In the second quarter 2018,2019, the Company expects operating income to be moderatelymodestly higher than the level achieved in the second quarter 2017.2018.

 

Depreciation and Amortization:  For the full year 2018,2019, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $132$130 million, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $36$35 million.

 

EBITDA:  While the Company expects net income in 2019 to decline year-over-year, we expect EBITDA in 2019 to be approximately $288 million, which is higher than the level achieved in 2018 after taking into account the full year impact in 2018 of the $12.0 million of lease expense related to the sale and leaseback of MV Maunalei

Other Income (Expense):  The Company expects full year 2018 EBITDA2019 other income (expense) to be lower thanapproximately $2.7 million in income, which is attributable to other component costs related to the $296.0 million achieved in 2017.Company’s pension and post-retirement plans.     

 

Interest Expense:  The Company expects interest expense for the full year 20182019 to be approximately $23$25 million.

 

Income Tax Expense:Taxes:  In the first quarter 2018,2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was 42.07.4 percent, which includes a favorable non-cash tax adjustment of $3.3$2.9 million resultingrelated to the reversal of an expense adjustment in 2018 arising from a reduction in the alternative minimum tax receivable underenactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.Act of 2017.  For the balance of 2018,full year 2019, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 28 percent.26.0 percent, which excludes the aforementioned positive non-cash adjustment of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2019.

 

Capital and Vessel Dry-docking Expenditures:  InFor the first quarter 2018,2019, the Company made maintenanceother capital expenditure payments of $13.1$13.5 million, capitalized vessel construction expenditures of $57.7$20.9 million, and dry-docking payments of $4.6$3.2 million.  For the full year 2018,2019, the Company expects to make maintenanceother capital expenditure payments, including maintenance capital expenditures, of approximately $68$120 million, vessel construction expenditures (inclusive of(including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of approximately $388$215 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $18$12 million.

Changes in operating revenue, and operating costs and expenses are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Income by Segment.

 

The decrease in interest expense duringfor the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017,2018, was due to increased interest expense due to higher average debt borrowings, offset by a higher amount of capitalized interest.

 

Other income (expense) relates to the amortization of certain components of net periodic benefit costs or gains related to the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans.

Income tax expense was $1.0 million or 7.4 percent of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $10.3 million or 42.0 percent of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $3.12018.  In connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), the Company recorded a non-cash tax adjustment of $3.3 million or 30.7 percent of income beforethat increased income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  The increase in the effective income tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2018, was primarily due2018.  This adjustment related to the recording of a non-cash tax adjustment of $3.3 million due to an application of an estimated 6.66.2 percent sequestration on alternative minimum tax (AMT) refunds due to the Company for the years 2018 to 2021, and was based on guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on alternative minimumand emerging interpretations of the Tax Act during that period.  On January 19, 2019, the IRS issued new guidance indicating that sequestration would not apply to refundable AMT credits.  In accordance with this new guidance, the Company recorded a non-cash tax (AMT) refunds.  Excluding the impactadjustment of this adjustment, the$2.9 million that decreased income tax ratetaxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019. 

Excluding the impact of these discrete tax adjustments, the adjusted effective tax rate would have been 28.6be 28.9 percent which is lower than the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as a result2019, compared to 28.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $18.6 million, or 4.9 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018.  This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue and higher revenue in China, partially offset by lower container volume in Alaska and Hawaii.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased 2.2 percent primarily due to one less westbound sailing and weather-related impacts; Alaska volume decreased by 5.7 percent primarily due to lower northbound volume mainly related to the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period and one less sailing; China volume was 16.0 percent higher primarily due to one additional sailing and stronger volume post Lunar New Year; Guam volume was 4.1 percent higher primarily due to typhoon relief-related volume; and Other container volume increased 12.9 percent primarily due to the Japan service.

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $15.1 million, or 61.6 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The decrease was primarily due to higher vessel operating costs, including weather-related impacts and MV Maunalei lease expense, higher terminal handling costs and lower container volume in Alaska and Hawaii, partially offset by a higher contribution from the China service.

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $8.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a contribution of $10.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of favorable one-time items in the year ago period.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $9.3 million, or 2.5 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2017.  This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue and higher volume in Alaska, partially offset by lower volume in China and lower revenue in Guam.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased by 1.9 percent primarily due to lower eastbound volume; Alaska volume increased by 10.1 percent primarily due to an increase in northbound volumes mainly related to the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel and one additional sailing; China volume was 22.2 percent lower primarily due to two fewer sailings and lower volume during the Lunar New Year period; and Guam volume was 9.3 percent lower due to increased competition.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $9.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2017.  This increase was primarily due to the favorable timing of fuel surcharge collections, lower vessel operating costs, a higher contribution from SSAT, and higher Alaska volume, partially offset by lower volume in China, lower revenue from Guam and higher terminal handling costs. 

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $10.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a $4.9 million contribution during the three months ended March 31, 2017.  The increase was nearly equally attributable to improved lift volume and one-time items.
