Matson Q1 2026 earnings and 2026 outlook

Matson, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 net income of $56.6 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, down from $72.3 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, a year earlier.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Matson, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 net income of $56.6 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, down from $72.3 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, a year earlier. Consolidated revenue was $757.8 million versus $782.0 million in first quarter 2025, mainly reflecting lower China container volume.

Ocean Transportation revenue fell 4.8 percent and operating income declined to $54.6 million from $73.6 million, driven by weaker China demand and lower SSAT joint venture contribution. Logistics revenue grew to $151.3 million, but operating income decreased to $6.8 million on lower supply chain management contribution.

The company generated $94.0 million in operating cash flow, cut total debt to $351.1 million, and ended the quarter with $100.1 million in cash plus $521.5 million in its Capital Construction Fund. Management expects second quarter 2026 consolidated operating income to be about $20 million above the $113.0 million earned in second quarter 2025 and full year 2026 consolidated operating income to modestly exceed 2025.

Insights

Equity research analyst

Matson posts softer Q1 but guides to higher 2026 operating income.

Matson delivered first quarter 2026 revenue of $757.8 million and net income of $56.6 million, both lower than a year ago. Ocean Transportation operating income fell to $54.6 million, mainly from weaker China volume and a smaller SSAT contribution.

Logistics showed mixed trends: revenue rose to $151.3 million, but operating income declined 20.0% to $6.8 million as supply chain management contributed less. Despite this, operating cash flow improved to $94.0 million, debt declined to $351.1 million, and the company maintained substantial liquidity, including $521.5 million in its Capital Construction Fund as of March 31, 2026.

Management projects second quarter 2026 consolidated operating income to be about $20 million above the $113.0 million earned in second quarter 2025 and expects full year 2026 consolidated operating income to modestly exceed 2025. They also plan significant 2026 capital spending, including up to $400 million on new vessel construction and $150–$170 million of other capital expenditures, alongside ongoing share repurchases and dividends.

Key Terms

EBITDA, Capital Construction Fund, operating income, effective tax rate, +2 more

6 terms

EBITDA financial

"These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)."

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

Capital Construction Fund financial

"there was $521.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and investments in fixed-rate U.S. Treasuries in the Capital Construction Fund."

A capital construction fund is a dedicated reserve of cash a company sets aside to pay for building, upgrading or replacing long-lived physical assets like factories, ships, or major equipment. Think of it like a savings account earmarked for a house or a new factory: it shows management is planning large, long-term investments and helps investors assess future spending needs, cash availability, and potential impacts on earnings and growth.

operating income financial

"For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to modestly exceed the level achieved in full year 2025"

Operating income is the profit a company earns from its regular business activities after subtracting the costs directly related to running the business, such as wages, rent, and supplies. It shows how well the core operations are performing, ignoring income or expenses from non-regular activities like investments or one-time events. Investors use it to assess the company's efficiency and profitability from its main work.

effective tax rate financial

"In the first quarter 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was 16.6 percent."

The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

dry-docking amortization financial

"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."

Dry-docking amortization is the accounting practice of spreading the capitalized cost of major scheduled ship maintenance (dry-docking) over the period until the next overhaul. Companies treat the large, infrequent expense like a long-term asset and record a portion as an expense each reporting period, similar to spreading the cost of a major car service across years. It matters to investors because it affects reported profits, operating ratios, and comparisons of cash spending versus accounting expense for shipping firms.

Jones Act regulatory

"including but not limited to risks and uncertainties relating to repeal, invalidation, substantial amendment or waiver of the Jones Act or changes in its application"

A U.S. law that requires goods moved between U.S. ports to be carried on ships that are built, owned and crewed by U.S. interests. Think of it like a rule that forces all local taxi rides to use domestic cars and drivers; it raises the cost and limits the pool of providers for coastal and inland shipping. Investors watch it because it affects transportation costs, supply-chain reliability and planning for energy, manufacturing and import-dependent businesses.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

​

MATSON, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

​

● 1Q26 EPS of $1.85 versus $2.18 in 1Q25

● 1Q26 Net Income of $56.6 million versus $72.3 million in 1Q25

● 1Q26 Consolidated Operating Income of $61.4 million versus $82.1 million in 1Q25

● 1Q26 EBITDA of $113.3 million versus $131.7 million in 1Q25

● Repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares in 1Q26

● Raises full year outlook

​

HONOLULU, Hawaii (May 4, 2026) – Matson, Inc. (“Matson” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $56.6 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $72.3 million, or $2.18 per diluted share. Consolidated revenue for the first quarter 2026 was $757.8 million compared with $782.0 million for the first quarter 2025.

​

Matt Cox, Matson’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the first quarter 2026, Ocean Transportation operating income exceeded our expectations primarily due to higher freight demand post-Lunar New Year in our China service. In our domestic tradelanes, we saw lower year-over-year volume in Hawaii and Alaska. In Logistics, operating income in the first quarter was lower year-over-year, primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management.”

​

Mr. Cox added, “To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted our operating performance or service levels; however, it has impacted fuel prices in all our markets. While we have effective mechanisms to recover the cost of fuel by the end of the year, for the second quarter we expect a negative impact from the lag in the recovery of fuel costs. On the demand side, the uptick in freight demand we saw in our China service post-Lunar New Year has continued to build in the second quarter as demand strengthens and volume returns to a more traditional seasonal pattern. We also expect this demand strength to continue through peak season. As a result, we expect Ocean Transportation operating income in the second quarter 2026 to be approximately $20 million higher than the $98.6 million achieved in the second quarter last year. For Logistics, we expect operating income in the second quarter 2026 to approach the level achieved in the year ago period. For full year 2026, we expect consolidated operating income to modestly exceed 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.”

​

First Quarter 2026 Discussion and Outlook for 2026

​

Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the first quarter 2026 was 5.6 percent lower year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand and the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period. Hawaii’s economy is expected to experience modest growth supported by construction activity, while tourism remains soft and inflationary pressures persist. 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.

1

​

In the China service, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 2026 decreased 9.5 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand from a more traditional Lunar New Year freight cycle. The Company saw higher than expected freight demand post-Lunar New Year and the uptick in freight demand has continued to build in the second quarter as demand strengthens and volume returns to a more traditional seasonal pattern. The Company also expects this demand strength to continue through peak season. In the second quarter 2026, the Company expects higher volume compared to the prior year period, which included a market decline in Transpacific demand due to the tariffs imposed in April 2025. The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be moderately 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 the Guam service, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 2026 was flat year-over-year. In the near term, the Company expects Guam’s economy to remain stable. For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

​

In the Alaska service, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 2026 decreased 2.0 percent year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to lower general demand, partially offset by an additional northbound sailing and an additional AAX sailing compared to the year ago period. 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 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $5.0 million in the first quarter 2026, or $1.6 million lower than first quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower lift volume. For full year 2026, the Company expects the contribution from SSAT to be lower than the $32.5 million achieved in full year 2025.

​

Based on the outlook trends noted above, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income in the second quarter 2026 to be approximately $20 million higher than the $98.6 million achieved in the second quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to modestly exceed the level achieved in full year 2025.

​

Logistics: Operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $6.8 million in the first quarter 2026, or $1.7 million lower compared to the level achieved in the first quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management. For the second quarter 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to approach the $14.4 million achieved in the second 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: To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted the Company’s operating performance or service levels; however, it has impacted fuel prices in all of the Company’s markets. While the Company has effective mechanisms to recover the cost of fuel by the end of the year, for the second quarter the Company expects a negative impact from the lag in the recovery of fuel costs. For the second quarter 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be approximately $20 million higher than the $113.0 million achieved in the second quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to modestly exceed the level achieved in full year 2025 based on the Company’s expectations of China demand strength in the second quarter continuing through peak season, continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific Tradelane. For 2026 compared to 2025, the Company continues to expect a more normal operating seasonality pattern with consolidated operating income in the second and third quarters being the strongest relative to the first and fourth quarters.

​

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 $16 million.

​

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

​

2

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 first quarter 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was 16.6 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 first quarter 2026, the Company made capital expenditure payments excluding new vessel construction expenditures of $30.3 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of $18.0 million, and dry-docking payments of $11.9 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 $400 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $45 million.

Statements made during this presentation are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements. 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call Forward-Looking Statements

3 • 1Q26 results: ─ Ocean Transportation operating income exceeded our expectations primarily due to higher freight demand post-Lunar New Year in our China service ▪ In our domestic tradelanes, we saw lower YoY volume in Hawaii and Alaska ─ Logistics operating income was lower YoY primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management • To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted our operating performance or service levels; however, it has impacted fuel prices in all our markets ─ While we have effective mechanisms to recover the cost of fuel by the end of the year, for 2Q26 we expect a negative impact from the lag in the recovery of fuel costs • Lastly, we are raising our full year Outlook for consolidated operating income and now expect to modestly exceed the level achieved in 2025 ─ The primary driver behind raising Outlook is the strengthening of freight demand in our China service post-Lunar New Year that we expect to continue through peak season 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call Opening Remarks

4 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call • Container volume decreased 5.6% YoY primarily due to: ─ Lower general demand ─ Dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period • Expect volume to be comparable to the level achieved in 2025 reflecting: ─ Similar economic conditions as 2025 ─ Stable market share Hawaii Service 1Q26 Performance Container Volume (FEU Basis) Full Year 2026 Outlook 24,000 26,000 28,000 30,000 32,000 34,000 36,000 38,000 40,000 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026

6 China Service 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call • Container volume decreased 9.5% YoY ─ Primarily due to lower general demand from a more traditional Lunar New Year freight cycle 1Q26 Performance Container Volume(1) (FEU Basis) (1) Includes containers from China and other Asia origins. 8,000 13,000 18,000 23,000 28,000 33,000 38,000 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026

7 • In 1Q26, we did not see a traditional bump in demand prior to Lunar New Year. Post holiday, the freight demand exceeded our expectations and was driven by: ─ Higher demand across several of our key market segments such as e-commerce, e-goods, and garments ─ Continued air-to-ocean freight conversions ─ Further growth and penetration into Southeast Asia ports • In 1Q26, we saw strong volume from our feeder network in Vietnam and Thailand • Overall, the uptick in freight demand we saw post-Lunar New Year has continued to build in 2Q26 as demand strengthens and volume returns to a more traditional seasonal pattern ─ We remain focused on maximizing the yield on every sailing out of Shanghai • We expect 2Q26 container volume to be higher compared to the prior year period, which included a market decline in Transpacific demand due to the tariffs imposed in April 2025 • For full year 2026, we expect container volume to be moderately higher than the level achieved in 2025 ─ Expect demand strength in 2Q26 to continue through peak season 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call China Service − Current Business Trends

9 Alaska Service 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call • Container volume decreased 2.0% YoY primarily due to: ─ Lower general demand ─ Partially offset by an additional northbound sailing and an additional AAX sailing compared to the year ago period 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 20,000 22,000 24,000 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026 • Expect continued economic growth in Alaska supported by a low unemployment rate, jobs growth and continued oil and gas exploration and production activity • Expect volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year 1Q26 Performance Container Volume (FEU Basis) Full Year 2026 Outlook

10 SSAT Joint Venture 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call • Terminal joint venture contribution was $5.0 million; YoY decrease of $1.6 million ─ Primarily due to lower lift volume $0.0 $1.0 $2.0 $3.0 $4.0 $5.0 $6.0 $7.0 $8.0 $9.0 $10.0 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026 1Q26 Performance Equity in Income of JV ($ in millions) • Expect the contribution from SSAT to be lower than the $32.5 million achieved in full year 2025 Full Year 2026 Outlook

11 Matson Logistics 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call • Operating income of $6.8 million; YoY decrease of $1.7 million ─ Primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management $0.0 $2.0 $4.0 $6.0 $8.0 $10.0 $12.0 $14.0 $16.0 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026 • Expect operating income to approach the level achieved in full year 2025 1Q26 Performance Operating Income ($ in millions) Full Year 2026 Outlook

12 1Q 2026 Earnings Conference Call Fuel Price Volatility • We expect fuel price volatility to impact our near-term earnings due to a timing lag between when we incur fuel costs and when we can fully recover these costs • Our mechanisms are very effective at recovering the cost of fuel over time ─ Historically in our maritime business, we have been successful in recouping the cost of fuel within any calendar year, although fluctuations can occur between quarters • In 1Q26, the impact was not material as we experienced escalating fuel prices only during the last few weeks of the quarter • For 2Q26, we expect to lag in the recovery of fuel costs, but we expect to fully recover our fuel costs by the end of the year with most of the recovery occurring in 3Q26 • These expectations regarding the impact of fuel costs and the recoverability of these costs have been factored into our Outlook
