| 7 Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Current Business Trends • Stronger seasonal demand in 4Q24 – Some customers advancing freight ahead of a potential ILA disruption and proposed tariff increases – Also saw some customers in late December moving freight ahead of the earlier Lunar New Year this year • Experienced a traditional low demand environment during the post-Lunar New Year period in 1Q25 – Didn’t sail the MAX for three weeks and carried all freight on CLX – This is the same schedule we had for 2024 • Expect the post-Lunar New Year period to show a traditional ramp up of demand for the remainder of the first quarter, but volumes may be a bit softer than normal for the first few weeks due to the advancing of some cargo late in the fourth quarter

| 8 Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Outlook • Where our China freight rates ultimately settle out in 2025 will depend on a number of macro factors including geopolitical conditions, supply chain activity, and the trajectory of the U.S. economy – Too early to tell how Red Sea, tariffs/trade, U.S. economy and other factors may play out • 1Q25 and FY 2025 Outlook: – We expect elevated freight rates in our China service to continue into 1Q25 – Beyond 1Q25, we expect freight rates will largely be driven by the timing of trade flow normalization in the Red Sea, other geopolitical factors, supply chain activity and the trajectory of the U.S. economy • Assuming trade conditions in the Red Sea normalize by middle of year, we expect freight rates to moderate in 2H25 • However, if the Red Sea remains disrupted through year end, we expect freight rates to remain elevated throughout 2025

| 20 Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call Closing Thoughts • Our China service shines during periods of uncertainty – Speed, reliability, and service – our core differentiators • Today, our China service appeals to an even broader set of customers than when we first started moving freight in the Transpacific tradelane nearly 20 years ago – As supply chains have become more complex, shippers have placed a greater emphasis on speed-to-market and schedule integrity • Our CLX and MAX are the two fastest services in the Transpacific tradelane, which are complemented with unique destination services for a seamless customer experience • We remain focused on what we can control – vessel schedule integrity, reliability of our operations, and delivering a high-quality service for our customers • We remain committed to look for ways to grow, either organically or periodically through acquisition • We expect to continue to return capital to shareholders through dividends and our share repurchase program – Our share repurchase program remains a core tenant of our capital allocation strategy, and we continue to expect to be steady buyers of our shares
