| 7 First Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Current Business Trends • In 1Q23, retail customers continued to conservatively manage inventories amid weakening consumer demand, increasing interest rates and economic uncertainty • Currently in the Transpacific marketplace, business conditions are mixed with general improvement in tradelane capacity and some improvement in retailer inventories, but we continue to see conservative management of inventories by retail customers in light of economic uncertainty – As such, we expect our CLX and CLX+ services in 2Q23 to reflect freight demand levels below normalized conditions with lower YoY volumes and rates – Absent an economic “hard landing” in the U.S., we continue to expect improved trade dynamics in 2H23 as the Transpacific marketplace transitions to a more normalized level of demand • Regardless of the economic environment, we expect to continue to earn a significant rate premium to the SCFI reflecting our fast and reliable ocean services and unmatched destination services
