MATSON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANICAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Matson, Inc., a holding company incorporated in January 2012 in the State of Hawaii, and its subsidiaries (“Matson” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of ocean transportation and logistics services. The Company consists of two segments, Ocean Transportation and Logistics:

Ocean Transportation: Matson’s Ocean Transportation business is conducted through Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (“MatNav”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, Inc. Founded in 1882, MatNav provides a vital lifeline of ocean freight transportation services to the domestic non-contiguous economies of Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam, and to other island economies in Micronesia. MatNav also operates a premium, expedited service from China to Long Beach, California, and also provides services to Okinawa, Japan and various islands in the South Pacific. In addition, subsidiaries of MatNav provide container stevedoring, refrigerated cargo services, inland transportation and other terminal services for MatNav and other ocean carriers on the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, and in the Alaska locations of Anchorage, Kodiak and Dutch Harbor.

Matson has a 35 percent ownership interest in SSA Terminals, LLC (“SSAT”), a joint venture between Matson Ventures, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav, and SSA Ventures, Inc., a subsidiary of Carrix, Inc. SSAT provides terminal and stevedoring services to various carriers at ~~seven~~eight terminal facilities on the U.S. West Coast, including four facilities which are used by MatNav (“Terminal Joint Venture”). Matson records its share of net income from SSAT in ~~the Terminal Joint Venture in operating~~ costs and expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, and within the Ocean Transportation segment due to the nature of SSAT’s operations.

Logistics: Matson’s Logistics business is conducted through Matson Logistics, Inc. (“Matson Logistics”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav. Established in 1987, Matson Logistics is an asset-light business that provides a variety of logistic services to its customers including: (i) multimodal transportation brokerage of domestic and international rail intermodal service, long-haul and regional highway trucking services, specialized hauling, flat-bed and project services, less-than-truckload services, and expedited freight services (collectively “Transportation ~~Brokerage Services”)~~Brokerage” services); (ii) less-than-container load (“LCL”) consolidation and freight forwarding services (collectively “Freight ~~Forwarding Services”)~~Forwarding” services); (iii) warehousing and distribution services; and (iv) supply chain management, non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC) freight forwarding and other services.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, and include the accounts of Matson and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of ~~significant~~ intercompany amounts and transactions. Significant investments in businesses, partnerships, and limited liability companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. A controlling financial interest is one in which the Company has a majority voting interest or one in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company accounts for its investment in the Terminal Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting.

Due to the nature of the Company’s operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on ~~February 23, 2018.~~March 4, 2019.

The Company records its share of net income from SSAT in costs and expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income due to the nature of SSAT’s operations.

Income Taxes: In connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ~~that was signed into law on December 22,~~of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), the Company recorded a non-cash tax adjustment of ~~$3.1~~$3.3 million that increased income taxes and decreased income tax receivables for ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2018. No amount was recorded during~~ the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018. This adjustment related to the application of an estimated 6.2 percent sequestration on alternative minimum tax (AMT) refunds ~~for~~due to the ~~years 2018 to 2021,~~Company, and was based on ~~new~~ guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and emerging interpretations of the Tax ~~Act.~~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 adjustment of $2.9 million that decreased income taxes and increased income tax receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company continues to assess the impact of the Tax Act, ~~and any~~ related interpretations and other tax legislation, when issued, on the Company’s income tax estimates. These and other factors could materially affect the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results.

Contingencies: Environmental Matters: The Company’s Ocean Transportation business has certain risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. The Company believes that based on all information available to it, the Company is currently in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements:~~Dividends: ~~Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”):~~ The ~~Company adopted ASU 2014-09 during the three months ended~~Company’s first quarter 2019 cash dividend of $0.21 per share was paid on March 31, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. This method allowed the Company to recognize the cumulative effect 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 evaluated7, 2019. On April 25, 2019, the Company’s ~~current accounting policies and procedures for recognizing revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, and compared these to the new requirements~~Board of ~~ASU 2014-09. In addition, the Company identified the performance obligations and consideration applicable under each contract.~~

~~Based upon this evaluation, the Company determined that the impact~~Directors declared a cash dividend of adopting ASU 2014-09 was 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)~~ (“ASU 2018-02”): ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for the remeasurement tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and recorded a reclassification adjustment of $6.0 million between accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and retained earnings (see Note 7).$0.21 per share payable on June 6, 2019.

~~Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation~~New Accounting Pronouncements:

Measurement of ~~Net Periodic Pension Cost and Benefit Cost~~ (“ASU 2017-07”): ASU 2017-07 requires employers 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. To conform prior period amounts to current period presentation as required by ASU 2017-07, the Company recorded retrospective adjustments and reclassified $3.5 million and $1.6 million of expenses from operating costs to other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. There was no change to income before income taxes for all periods presented as a result of adopting ASU 2017-07.

~~Leases (Topic 842)~~Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU ~~2016-02”~~2016-13”): In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU ~~2016-02~~2016‑13 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 ~~lessees~~entities to ~~record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their income statements in~~establish a ~~manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability~~valuation allowance for the ~~obligation to make lease payments,~~expected lifetime losses of certain financial instruments. Subsequent changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in current earnings and ~~a right-of-use asset for the underlying leased asset for the period~~reversal of ~~the lease term.~~previous losses is permitted. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, ~~2018~~2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating this new standard, but does not expect the ~~implementation~~adoption of ~~this guidance.~~ASU 2016‑13 to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated 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 n is available. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.

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 ~~$27.6~~$21.8 million and ~~$24.1~~$18.3 million for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017, and $72.7 million and $62.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017,~~ respectively, have been eliminated from operating revenue in the table below.

Reportable segment results for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ consisted of the following:

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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017 were~~2018 are as follows:


					Quoted Prices in		Significant		Significant						Quoted Prices in		Significant		Significant

Basic earnings ~~per-share~~per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings ~~per-share~~per share includes the dilutive effect of unexercised non-qualified stock options and non-vested restricted stock units. The denominator used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019					Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

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 ~~third~~first quarter ~~2018~~2019 was ~~1.1~~2.2 percent lower year-over-year primarily due to one less ~~sailing.~~westbound 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 volume in ~~2018~~2019 to approximate the level achieved in ~~2017,~~2018, reflecting ~~a solid~~modest economic growth in Hawaii ~~economy~~ and stable market share.

In China, the Company’s container volume in the ~~third~~first quarter ~~2018~~2019 was ~~3.3~~16.0 percent ~~lower~~higher year-over-year largely due to ~~a dry-dock return~~one additional sailing ~~in the year ago period.~~and stronger volume post Lunar New Year. Matson continued to realize a sizeable rate premium in the ~~third~~first quarter ~~2018~~2019 and achieved average freight rates modestly higher than the ~~third~~first quarter ~~2017.~~2018. For ~~2018,~~2019, the Company expects volume to approximate the exceptional level achieved in 2018 and expects average freight rates to ~~be higher than~~approach the ~~average rate~~levels achieved in ~~2017 and volume to be modestly lower than the level achieved in 2017.~~2018.

For ~~2018,~~2019, the Company expects volume to be modestly higher than the level achieved in ~~2017~~2018 with ~~improvement in~~higher northbound volume ~~largely~~supported by improving economic conditions in Alaska and higher southbound seafood-related volume due to ~~the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel, partially offset by lower southbound volume primarily due to a weaker-than-expected seafood season compared with the very strong~~stronger 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.

~~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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was due to increased interest expense 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~~March 31, 2018. This adjustment related ~~to the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Income tax expense was $32.4 million or 26.8 percent of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $40.2 million or 38.2 percent of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in the effective income tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to applying the tax law changes resulting from the Tax Act which lowered the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% commencing January 1, 2018. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was also impacted by the recording of a non-cash tax expense of $3.1 million due to the application of an estimated 6.2 percent sequestration on alternative minimum tax (AMT) refunds due to the Company for the years 2018 to 2021, and was based on ~~new~~ guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and emerging interpretations of the Tax ~~Act.~~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 adjustment of $2.9 million that decreased income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Excluding the impact of these discrete tax adjustments, the adjusted effective tax rate would be 28.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 28.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $41.3 million, or 3.5 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue and higher average freight rates in China, partially offset by lower revenue in Guam.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased by 1.0 percent primarily due to lower eastbound volume; Alaska volume increased by 2.1 percent primarily due to an increase in northbound volume related to the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel, partially offset by a decrease in southbound volume as a result of a weaker-than-expected seafood season compared with the very strong seafood harvest levels in 2017; China volume was 9.9 percent lower primarily due to fewer sailings and lower volume during the Lunar New Year period; Guam volume was 7.1 percent lower due to increased competition; and Other volume increased 43.0 percent largely due to the new Okinawa, Japan service.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $3.4 million, or 3.2 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to lower vessel operating costs, higher rates in China and Hawaii and a higher contribution from SSAT, partially offset by higher terminal handling costs and a lower contribution from Guam.

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $28.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to a $19.3 million contribution during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to higher lift volume.
