MATSON, INC. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS; PROVIDES 2026 OUTLOOK

  • 4Q25 EPS of $4.60
  • Full Year 2025 EPS of $13.81
  • Full Year 2025 Net Income and EBITDA of $444.8 million and $704.7 million, respectively
  • 1Q26 Consolidated Operating Income expected to be lower year-over-year
  • 2026 Consolidated Operating Income expected to approach the level achieved in full year 2025

HONOLULU , Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matson, Inc. ("Matson" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $143.1 million, or $4.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.  Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $128.0 million, or $3.80 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter 2025 was $851.9 million compared with $890.3 million for the fourth quarter 2024.

Matt Cox, Matson's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Matson had a solid finish to the year with consolidated fourth quarter results that exceeded our expectations.  For the quarter, Ocean Transportation operating income approached the level achieved in the prior year period primarily due to higher than expected freight rates and volume in our China service driven by strong e-commerce and e-goods demand.  Our China service benefited from strong freight demand in our key customer segments as well as a more stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane as a result of the U.S.-China trade and economic deal announced on October 30, 2025, which reduced uncertainty regarding tariffs, port entry fees, global trade and other geopolitical factors.  In our domestic ocean tradelanes, we saw higher year-over-year volumes in Hawaii and Guam and lower year-over-year volume in Alaska.  In Logistics, quarterly operating income decreased year-over-year primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management.  For the full year 2025, our consolidated operating income decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower volume and freight rates in our China service over the last three quarters as customers managed freight in a challenging environment marked by uncertainty and volatility arising from tariffs and global trade." 

Mr. Cox added, "Looking ahead, we expect Ocean Transportation operating income in the first quarter 2026 to be approximately $50 million, which is lower than the first quarter last year, primarily due to lower volume in our China service.  For Logistics, we expect operating income in the first quarter 2026 to be modestly lower than the level achieved in the year ago period.  For full year 2026, we expect consolidated operating income to approach the level achieved in full year 2025 based on our expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.  For 2026 compared to 2025, we also expect to see a more normal operating income seasonality pattern with our second and third quarters being the strongest relative to the first and fourth quarters."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Discussion and Outlook for 2026

Ocean Transportation:  The Company's container volume in the Hawaii service in the fourth quarter 2025 was 0.6 percent higher year-over-year primarily due to higher general demand.  Hawaii's economy remains sluggish as softer tourism and ongoing inflationary pressures, including elevated interest rates, more than offset strength in construction activity.  The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be comparable to the level achieved in 2025, reflecting similar economic conditions and stable market share.

In China, the Company's container volume in the fourth quarter 2025 decreased 7.2 percent year-over-year.  The Company saw higher than expected freight rates and volume driven by strong e-commerce and e-goods demand.  The Company benefited from strong freight demand in its key customer segments as well as a more stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane as a result of the U.S.-China trade and economic deal announced on October 30, 2025, which reduced uncertainty regarding tariffs, port entry fees, global trade and other geopolitical factors.  In the first quarter 2026, the Company expects lower volume compared to the prior year period.  The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be modestly higher than the level achieved in 2025 based on our expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.

In Guam, the Company's container volume in the fourth quarter 2025 increased 4.4 percent year-over-year primarily due to higher general demand.  In the near term, the Company expects Guam's economy to moderate reflecting a challenging tourism environment.  For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

In Alaska, the Company's container volume for the fourth quarter 2025 decreased 3.3 percent year-over-year.  The decrease was primarily due to one less northbound sailing compared to the year ago period, partially offset by higher export seafood volume on AAX.  In the near term, the Company expects continued economic growth in Alaska supported by a low unemployment rate, jobs growth and continued oil and gas exploration and production activity.  For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

The contribution in the fourth quarter 2025 from the Company's SSAT joint venture investment was $9.3 million, or $18.8 million higher than fourth quarter 2024.  The increase was primarily due to an impairment charge related to the write-down of a terminal operating lease asset at SSAT which impacted fourth quarter 2024 operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share by $18.4 million, $14.0 million and $0.42 per share, respectively.  For full year 2026, the Company expects the contribution from SSAT to be comparable to the $32.5 million achieved in full year 2025.

Based on the outlook trends noted above, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income for the first quarter 2026 to be approximately $50 million.  For full year 2026, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to approach the level achieved in full year 2025.  For 2026 compared to 2025, the Company also expects to see a more normal operating income seasonality pattern with second and third quarters being the strongest relative to the first and fourth quarters.

Logistics:  In the fourth quarter 2025, operating income for the Company's Logistics segment was $7.7 million, or $2.4 million lower compared to the level achieved in the fourth quarter 2024.  The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management.  For the first quarter 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be modestly lower than the $8.5 million achieved in the first quarter 2025.  For full year 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to approach the $44.2 million achieved in full year 2025.

Consolidated Operating Income:  For the first quarter 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be lower than the $82.1 million achieved in the first quarter 2025.  For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to approach the level achieved in full year 2025 based on our expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment. 

Depreciation and Amortization:  For full year 2026, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $210 million, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $35 million.

Interest Income:  The Company expects interest income for the full year 2026 to be approximately $15 million.

Interest Expense:  The Company expects interest expense for the full year 2026 to be approximately $6 million.

Other Income (Expense):  The Company expects full year 2026 other income (expense) to be approximately $7 million in income, which is attributable to the amortization of certain components of net periodic benefit costs or gains related to the Company's pension and post-retirement plans.

Income Taxes:  In the fourth quarter 2025, the Company's effective tax rate was 5.2 percent and benefited from a one-time tax adjustment of $18.5 million, or $0.59 per share, related to the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities.  For the full year 2025, the Company's effective tax rate was 16.7 percent.  For the full year 2026, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 21.0 percent.

Capital and Vessel Dry-docking Expenditures:  For the full year 2025, the Company made capital expenditure payments excluding new vessel construction expenditures of $149.1 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner's items) of $244.3 million, and dry-docking payments of $49.4 million.  For the full year 2026, the Company expects to make other capital expenditure payments, including maintenance capital expenditures, of approximately $150 to $170 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner's items) of approximately $425 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $45 million.

Ocean Transportation revenue decreased $37.9 million, or 5.1 percent, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2024.  The decrease was primarily due to lower freight rates and volume in China.

Ocean Transportation revenue decreased $74.2 million, or 2.6 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.  The decrease was primarily due to lower volume in China.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume increased 1.6 percent primarily due to higher general demand and the dry-docking of a competitor's vessel in the first half of 2025; Alaska volume increased 1.7 percent primarily due to higher export seafood volume on AAX, partially offset by one less northbound sailing; China volume decreased 9.5 percent primarily due to the difficult trading environment in the Transpacific in the last three quarters of 2025 marked by continued uncertainty and volatility arising from tariffs and global trade; Guam volume decreased 4.3 percent primarily due to lower general demand; and Other containers volume increased 1.2 percent.

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $45.3 million, or 9.0 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.  The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from China, partially offset by a higher contribution from SSAT.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation

(1)

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (including deferred dry-docking amortization).  EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity.  Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA as calculated by other companies, nor is this calculation identical to the EBITDA used by our lenders to determine financial covenant compliance.
