HONOLULU, Hawaii (February 23, 2016) — Matson, Inc. (“Matson” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $26.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $27.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter 2015 was $494.8 million compared with $443.5 million reported for the fourth quarter 2014.

For the full year 2015, Matson reported net income of $103.0 million, or $2.34 per diluted share compared with $70.8 million, or $1.63 per diluted share in 2014. Consolidated revenue for the full year 2015 was $1,884.9 million, compared with $1,714.2 million in 2014.

Matt Cox, Matson’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2015 was an exceptional year for Matson. Financially, it was the best year in our history. Strategically, we substantially grew our ocean transportation platform with the acquisition of the Alaska trade and we reinforced our position as the service leader in Hawaii, Guam, China and Micronesia.”

Mr. Cox added, “In 2016, we expect to continue to deliver strong operating results, although modestly lower than the record level achieved in 2015. Matson’s core businesses are well-positioned to generate significant cash flow to pay down debt, fund growth initiatives, including our new vessel investments, and return capital to shareholders via both dividends and share repurchases. The integration of our Alaska operations continues to progress well and will remain a focus this year. Our investment in Alaska is supported by the attractive cash flow and earnings generation characteristics of the business and is on track to achieve our earnings and cash flow accretion expectations.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Discussion and 2016 Outlook

Ocean Transportation:

In the fourth quarter 2015, the Hawaii trade experienced modest westbound market growth and, as expected, Matson achieved meaningful volume gains as it deployed additional vessels in response to a competitor’s service reconfiguration. The Company believes that the Hawaii economy remains healthy and expects the continued progress of the construction cycle in urban Honolulu to generate modest volume growth. As a result, for the full year 2016, the Company expects its Hawaii container volume to be moderately higher than 2015.

In the China trade, despite freight rates for other ocean carriers reaching historic lows, the Company achieved average freight rates that approximated the strong rates achieved in the fourth quarter 2014. And, as expected, the Company’s China volume in the fourth quarter 2015 was moderately lower due to one fewer sailing, the absence of the extraordinarily high demand experienced in the fourth quarter 2014 during the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions, and market softness. In 2016, international vessel overcapacity is expected to persist with vessel deliveries outpacing demand growth and putting continued pressure on international ocean carrier freight rates. The Company expects its expedited service to continue to realize a sizeable premium and maintain high vessel utilization in 2016, albeit at average freight rates that are significantly lower than 2015.

In Guam, economic activity in the fourth quarter 2015 was stable and the Company achieved modest volume growth as the expected launch of a new competitor’s bi-weekly U.S. flagged containership service to Guam was delayed until early 2016. For the full year 2016, the Company expects to experience competitive volume losses to this new service.

In Alaska, volume for the fourth quarter 2015 was approximately 14,200 containers. In 2016, the Company expects Alaska volume to be modestly lower than the total 67,300 containers carried by Horizon and Matson in 2015. The Company intends to operate a base deployment of three containerships in Alaska and expects to complete the installation of exhaust gas scrubbers on those ships in 2016. The Company’s integration of the Alaska operations is progressing well and is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon Acquisition are not expected to materially exceed the incremental run-rate target of $15.0 million per year in 2016. Further, the Company continues to expect to achieve its earnings and cash flow accretion targets for the Horizon Acquisition by mid-2017.

The Company’s terminal joint venture, SSAT, continued to benefit from improved lift volume during the fourth quarter. For the full year 2016, the Company expects SSAT to contribute profits modestly lower than the $16.5 million contributed in 2015, primarily due to the absence of factors related to the clearing of international cargo backlog in the first half of 2015 that resulted from the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions.

For the full year 2016, the Company expects that Ocean Transportation operating income to be modestly lower than the $187.8 million achieved in 2015. In the first quarter 2016, the Company expects operating income to be approximately 25 percent lower than the first quarter 2015 level of $43.9 million.

Logistics: Volume declines in Logistics’ businesses extended into the fourth quarter 2015 and the Company achieved an operating income margin of 2.5 percent. The Company expects 2016 operating income to modestly exceed the 2015 level of $8.5 million, driven by volume growth and continued expense control.

Interest Expense: The Company expects its interest expense in 2016 to be approximately $19.0 million.

Income Tax Expense: The Company expects its effective tax rate for the full year 2016 to be approximately 39.0 percent.

2

Capital Spending and Vessel Dry-docking: For the full year 2015, the Company made maintenance capital expenditures of $46.9 million, scheduled contract payments for its two vessels under construction of $20.9 million, and dry-docking payments of $25.7 million. For the full year 2016, the Company expects to make maintenance capital expenditures of approximately $65 million, scheduled new vessel construction progress payments of $67.2 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $60 million. For the full year 2016, the Company expects depreciation and amortization to total approximately $133 million compared to $105.8 million in 2015, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $35 million expected in 2016 and $23.1 million in 2015.

(1) Approximate container volumes included for the period are based on the voyage departure date, but revenue and operating income are adjusted to reflect the percentage of revenue and operating income earned during the reporting period for voyages in transit at the end of each reporting period.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $67.8 million, or 20.3 percent, during the fourth quarter 2015 compared with the fourth quarter 2014. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from the Company’s acquired Alaska operations, higher container volume and yield in Hawaii, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue and lower container volume in the Company’s China service.

Alaska volume included in the Company’s fourth quarter results reflects the second full quarter of operations post-closing the acquisition on May 29, 2015. On a year over year basis, Hawaii container volume increased by 17.8 percent primarily due to volume gains resulting from a competitor’s service reconfiguration, and modest market growth; China volume was 22.7 percent lower due to one fewer sailing, the absence of the extraordinarily high demand experienced in the fourth quarter 2014 during the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions, and market softness in the fourth quarter 2015; and Guam volume increased by 3.2 percent due to the timing of select shipments. Hawaii automobile volume was 27.6 percent higher in the fourth quarter 2015 compared with the fourth quarter 2014, primarily due to the aforementioned competitor service reconfiguration.

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $2.7 million during the fourth quarter 2015 compared with the fourth quarter 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower China volume, additional selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon Acquisition, higher vessel operating expenses related to the deployment of additional vessels in the Hawaii trade, higher terminal handling expenses, and the timing of fuel

surcharge collections. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items were container volume and yield improvements in Hawaii, improved results at SSAT, and the inclusion of operating results for the Alaska trade.

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $3.4 million during the fourth quarter 2015, compared to a $1.2 million contribution in the fourth quarter 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to improved lift volume.

(1) Approximate container volumes included for the period are based on the voyage departure date, but revenue and operating income are adjusted to reflect the percentage of revenue and operating income earned during the reporting period for voyages in transit at the end of each reporting period.

(2) Alaska container volumes represent operations from May 29, 2015.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased $219.6 million, or 17.2 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from the Company’s acquired Alaska operations, higher container volume and yield in Hawaii, and higher freight rates in the Company’s China service, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue and lower volume in the South Pacific and China.

Alaska volume included in the Company results reflects operations from May 29, 2015. On a year over year basis, Hawaii container volume increased by 8.1 percent primarily due to volume gains resulting from a competitor’s service reconfiguration, and modest market growth; China volume was 4.5 percent lower due to one fewer sailing, the absence of the extraordinarily high demand experienced in the fourth quarter 2014 during the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions, and market softness in the fourth quarter 2015; Guam volume declined by 1.6 percent due to the timing of select shipments; and Hawaii automobile volume was essentially flat.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $56.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to higher freight rates in China, container volume and yield improvements in Hawaii, the inclusion of operating results for the Alaska trade, and improved results at SSAT. Partially offsetting these favorable operating income items were additional selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to the Horizon Acquisition, higher vessel operating expenses related to the deployment of additional vessels in the Hawaii trade, higher terminal handling expenses, lower China container volume, and costs related to the Company’s settlement with the State of Hawaii (the “Molasses Settlement”).

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $16.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to a $6.6 million contribution in the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the clearing of international carrier cargo backlog and improved lift volume.

Logistics — Three months ended December 31, 2015 compared with 2014

|  | Three Months Ended December 31 |
(dollars in millions) |  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | Change |

Operating income |  | $ | 2.3 |  | $ | 3.1 |  | (25.8 | )%
Operating income margin |  | 2.5 | % | 2.8 | % |  |

Logistics revenue decreased $16.5 million, or 15.0 percent, during the fourth quarter 2015 compared with the fourth quarter 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of lower highway and intermodal and volume and lower fuel surcharge revenue.

Logistics operating income decreased $0.8 million, during the fourth quarter 2015 compared with the fourth quarter 2014, primarily due to lower highway volume and yield, partially offset by improved intermodal yield.

Logistics — Year ended December 31, 2015 compared with 2014

|  | Year Ended December 31 |
(dollars in millions) |  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | Change |

Logistics revenue decreased $48.9 million, or 11.2 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of lower intermodal and highway volume and lower fuel surcharge revenue, partially offset by favorable changes in business mix and increased warehouse revenue.

Logistics operating income decreased $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower intermodal and highway volume, partially offset by warehouse operating improvements and improved yield.

EBITDA, ROIC, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Matson generated EBITDA of $76.4 million during the fourth quarter 2015, compared to $71.5 million in the fourth quarter 2014. Absent $6.1 million of selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon Acquisition in excess of the Company’s incremental run-rate target, fourth quarter EBITDA would have been $82.5 million.

For the full year 2015, Matson generated EBITDA of $302.1 million compared to $230.1 million in 2014, an increase of $72.0 million, or 31.3 percent. Absent $29.6 million of selling, general and administrative expenses

related to the Horizon Acquisition in excess of the Company’s incremental run-rate target and the $13.3 million Molasses Settlement, 2015 EBITDA would have been $345.0 million.

For the full year 2015, the Company earned a Return on Invested Capital of 14.1 percent compared to 11.9 percent in 2014. Cash flow from operations for 2015 was $245.3 million compared to $165.7 million in 2014.

(1) EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income, less income or loss from discontinued operations, plus income tax expense, interest expense and 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.
