2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, and include the accounts of Matson, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of 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. The Company accounts for its investment in SSAT 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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2022.

Fiscal Period: The period end for Matson covered by this report is March 31, 2022. The period end for MatNav and its subsidiaries covered by this report occurred on April 1, 2022.
Significant Accounting Policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 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, 2021.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: impairment of investments; impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill; capitalized interest; allowance for doubtful accounts and note receivables; legal contingencies; insurance reserves and other related liabilities; accrual estimates; pension and post-retirement estimates; multi-employer withdrawal liabilities; operating lease assets and liabilities; income from SSAT; and income taxes. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Recognition of Revenues and Expenses: Revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is presented net of elimination of intercompany transactions. The following is a description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities by segment, and the Company’s revenue recognition policy for each activity for the periods presented:

| ◾ | Supply chain management and other services revenue, and related costs are recognized in proportion to the services performed. |
The Company generally invoices its customers at the commencement of the voyage or the transportation service being provided, or as other services are being performed. Revenue is deferred when services are invoiced in advance to the customer. The Company’s receivables are classified as short-term as collection terms are for periods of less than one year. The Company expenses sales commissions and contract acquisition costs as incurred because the amounts are generally immaterial. These expenses are included in selling, general and administration expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Capital Construction Fund: The Company’s Capital Construction Fund (“CCF”) is described in Note 7 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, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $9.8 million of eligible accounts receivable was assigned to the CCF. Due to the nature of the assignment of eligible accounts receivable into the CCF, such assigned amounts are classified as part of accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash on deposit in the CCF is held in a money market account and classified as a long-term asset in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the Company intends to use qualified cash withdrawals to fund long-term investment in the construction of new vessels. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company deposited $10.7 million into the CCF and made qualifying cash withdrawals of $10.7 million from the CCF.

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’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. 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 SSAT segment has been aggregated into the Company’s Ocean Transportation segment due to the operations of SSAT 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 in certain transactions. Accordingly, inter-segment revenue of $73.2 million and $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, have been eliminated from operating revenues in the table below.
Reportable segment financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

The Company evaluates its goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company has reporting units within the Ocean Transportation and Logistics reportable segments. The Company considered the general economic and market conditions due to COVID-19 and its impact on the performance of each of the Company’s reporting units. Based on the Company’s assessment of its market capitalization, future forecasts and the amount of excess of fair value over the carrying value of the reporting units in the 2021 annual impairment tests, the Company concluded that an impairment triggering event did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The Company will monitor events and changes in circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining the fair value, including the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows generated by the reporting units, long-term growth and discount rates, comparable company market valuations, and industry and economic trends. It is possible that future changes in such circumstances, including future changes in the assumptions and estimates used in assessing the fair value of the reporting unit, could require the Company to record a non-cash impairment charge.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 variable and fixed rate debt. The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and variable rate debt approximate their carrying values due to the nature of the instruments. The fair value of 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings 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 includes the dilutive effect of unexercised non-qualified stock options and non-vested restricted stock units. The computation of weighted average common shares outstanding excluded a nominal amount of anti-dilutive non-qualified stock options for each period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted approximately 168,100 in total of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based shares to certain of its employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of $101.38 per share.
Total share-based compensation cost recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses was $4.7 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements was $33.1 million at March 31, 2022, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost may be adjusted for any unearned performance shares or forfeited shares.
12. PENSION AND POST-RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company’s pension and post-retirement plans are described in Note 11 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, 2021.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters: The Company’s Ocean Transportation business has certain risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. Except as described below, 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.
On November 10, 2021, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) issued a Notice of Violation (the “NOV”) to Matson for alleged violations of the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Auxiliary Diesel Engines Operated on Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth in a California Port pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 93118.3. CARB regulations require that a company’s fleet plug into shore power for at least 80 percent of visits at California ports and reduce auxiliary engine power generation by at least 80 percent. The NOV alleges that Matson’s fleet did not meet the 80 percent thresholds during visits to the Port of Long Beach in 2020. The violations were alleged to have been incurred by chartered vessels in the CLX+ service. These chartered vessels were not outfitted with alternative maritime power (“AMP”) capability which would have allowed them to plug into the shore power grid and shut down the vessel diesel generators when at dock. The Company has presented mitigating factors for consideration in settlement discussions with CARB, as well as plans to achieve compliance in 2022. Although potential penalties for 2020, 2021 and 2022 violations could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to exceed $1 million, they are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Other Matters: The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to, or may be contingently liable in connection with other legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for historical information, the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Security Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in, among other things, SEC filings, such as reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, the Annual Report to Shareholders, press releases made by the Company, the Company’s Internet Websites (including Websites of its subsidiaries), and oral statements made by officers of the Company.
This report, and other statements that the Company may make, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s future financial, business or environmental, social and governance performance, strategies or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “trend,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “pipeline,” “believe,” “comfortable,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “assume,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve,” “design,” “goal,” “plan,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or similar expressions.
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, 2021. 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 Condensed Consolidated 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 Condensed Consolidated 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, 2021, the Company’s reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, and other publicly available information.
FIRST QUARTER 2022 DISCUSSION AND UPDATE ON BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the first quarter 2022 was 0.6 percent lower year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to lower eastbound volume. During the quarter, we continued to see elevated hospitality-related demand as a result of strong domestic tourist arrivals and modest improvement in international visitor traffic. In the near-term, we are cautiously optimistic on further economic recovery in Hawaii in 2022. The positive trends include further improvement in the unemployment rate and increasing tourism traffic, including meaningful international visitor traffic later in the year, but incremental waves of COVID-19 variants present the possibility of further economic slowdowns and the loss of federal stimulus coupled with inflation and higher interest rates may impact discretionary income.
In China, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 2022 increased 13.4 percent year-over-year. The increase was a result of five more eastbound voyages than the prior year. Volume demand in the quarter was driven by e-commerce, garments and other goods. Matson continued to realize a significant rate premium over the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index in the first quarter 2022 and achieved average freight rates that were considerably higher than in the year ago period.
14
Currently in the Transpacific tradelane, we are seeing supply chain challenges in China, primarily due to actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, as well as continued supply chain constraints and congestion on the U.S. West Coast, elevated consumption trends, and inventory restocking. Despite the near-term uncertainty presented by the supply chain challenges in China, we expect a combination of the current supply and demand factors to remain largely in place through at least the October peak season and continue to expect elevated demand for our China service for most of this year.
In Guam, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 2022 increased 10.0 percent year-over-year primarily due to higher retail-related demand. In the near-term, we are cautiously optimistic on further economic growth in Guam as tourism traffic improves as the year progresses.
In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the first quarter 2022 increased 20.2 percent year-over-year primarily due to (i) the increase in volume from the Alaska-Asia Express (“AAX”), (ii) higher northbound volume primarily due to higher retail-related demand and volume related to a competitor’s dry-docking and (iii) higher southbound volume primarily due to higher seafood volume. In the near-term, we expect improving economic trends in Alaska, but the recovery’s trajectory continues to remain uncertain.
The contribution in the first quarter 2022 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $34.0 million, or $24.8 million higher than the first quarter 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher other terminal revenue.
Logistics: In the first quarter 2022, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $16.4 million, or $10.3 million higher compared to the level achieved in the first quarter 2021. The increase was due primarily to higher contributions from all services as we continued to see elevated goods consumption, inventory restocking and favorable supply and demand fundamentals in our core markets.

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 three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was due to lower outstanding debt during the period.
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 $90.6 million or 21.1 percent of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $27.1 million or 23.7 percent of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 benefited from a 2.6 percent deduction related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) under Section 250 of the Internal Revenue Code that lowered the effective tax rate for the current period. The Company benefits from a FDII deduction as it relates to a U.S. corporation that generates income from services provided to or from foreign countries.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $383.4 million, or 68.4 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in China, higher fuel-related surcharge revenue, and higher revenue in Alaska. The higher revenue in China was primarily due to considerably higher average freight rates and higher volume. The higher revenue in Alaska was primarily the result of higher volume.
On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased 0.6 percent primarily due to lower eastbound volume; Alaska volume increased 20.2 percent primarily due to (i) the increase in volume from AAX, (ii) higher northbound volume primarily due to higher retail-related demand and volume related to a competitor’s dry-docking, and (iii) higher southbound volume primarily due to higher seafood volume; China volume was 13.4 percent higher as a result of five more eastbound voyages than the prior year; Guam volume was 10.0 percent higher primarily due to higher retail-related demand; and Other containers volume increased 32.5 percent primarily due to the addition of China-Auckland Express volume in the South Pacific.
Ocean Transportation operating income increased $302.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to considerably higher average freight rates and higher volume in China and a higher contribution from SSAT, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses primarily due to the CCX and CLX+ services and the timing of fuel-related surcharge recovery.
The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $34.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a contribution of $9.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher other terminal revenue.

Logistics revenue increased $70.3 million, or 46.5 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher transportation brokerage and supply chain management revenue.
Logistics operating income increased $10.3 million, or 168.9 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher contributions from all services.

Net income was $339.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $87.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as described above. Income from SSAT was $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in income from SSAT was due to higher operating profits generated by SSAT during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same prior year period. There were no cash distributions from SSAT during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash distributions from SSAT are dependent on the level of cash available for distribution after operational and future capital needs of SSAT, and the timing of when such dividends are declared and paid. Changes in accounts receivable were primarily due to increased levels of revenues, and the timing of collections associated with those receivables. Changes in prepaid expenses and other assets were primarily due to increased prepaid fuel and other operating related costs, and the timing and amount of prepaid income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same prior year period. Changes in accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities were primarily due to increased levels of operating costs and the timing of payments associated with those liabilities. Changes in operating lease liabilities were primarily due to new operating lease additions and renewals, partially offset by operating lease terminations during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same prior year period. Deferred dry-docking payments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $8.6 million, compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in deferred dry-docking payments was due to less dry-dock related activity during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same prior year period.
(2) Changes in net cash used in investing activities:

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid $12.9 million in dividends, compared to $10.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Total Debt decreased by $14.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in fixed interest debt was due to the scheduled repayments of private placement term loans and Title XI debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $642.0 million of remaining borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility, with a maturity date of March 31, 2026. The Company’s debt is described in Note 6 of Part I, Item 1 above.
Working Capital: The Company had a working capital surplus of $264.6 million and $92.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Working capital is primarily impacted by the amount of net cash provided by operating activities, the amount of capital expenditures, the timing of collections associated with accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, and by the amount and timing of payments associated with accounts payable, accruals, income taxes and other liabilities. The increase in working capital surplus at March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the increase in cash generated from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.
Capital Expenditures: There were no material changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 to the Company’s expected capital expenditures for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2023 that are described in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Environmental Matters: The Company’s Ocean Transportation segment has certain risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. Except as described below, 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.
In accordance with SEC rules, with respect to administrative or judicial proceedings involving the environment, the Company has determined it will disclose any such proceeding if it reasonably believes such proceeding will result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, at or in excess of $1 million. The Company believes that such threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of environmental proceedings that are material to its business or financial condition.
On November 10, 2021, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) issued a Notice of Violation (the “NOV”) to Matson for alleged violations of the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Auxiliary Diesel Engines Operated on Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth in a California Port pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 93118.3. CARB regulations require that a company’s fleet plug into shore power for at least 80 percent of visits at California ports and reduce auxiliary engine power generation by at least 80 percent. The NOV alleges that Matson’s fleet did not meet the 80 percent thresholds during visits to the Port of Long Beach in 2020. The violations were alleged to have been incurred by chartered vessels in the CLX+ service. These chartered vessels were not outfitted with alternative maritime power (“AMP”) capability which would have allowed them to plug into the shore power grid and shut down the vessel diesel generators when at dock. The Company has presented mitigating factors for consideration in settlement discussions with CARB, as well as plans to achieve compliance in 2022. Although potential penalties for 2020, 2021 and 2022 violations could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to exceed $1 million, they are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Matters: The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There were no material changes to the Company’s risk factors that are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
