| 3 • 1Q25 as expected with significantly higher YoY consolidated operating income ─ Our China service was the primary driver and benefitted from the carryover of elevated freight rates from 4Q24 combined with healthy freight demand following a traditional post-Lunar New Year period ─ Higher YoY volume in Hawaii and Alaska and lower YoY volume in Guam ─ Logistics had lower operating income YoY primarily due to a lower contribution from freight forwarding and transportation brokerage, partially offset by a higher contribution from supply chain management • Lowering 2025 outlook due to uncertainty in the market ─ There is significant uncertainty regarding tariffs and global trade, regulatory measures, the trajectory of the U.S. economy and other geopolitical factors 1Q 2025 Earnings Conference Call Opening Remarks
