HONOLULU, Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Matson, Inc. ("Matson" or the "Company") MATX, a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $25.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.  Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $41.5 million, or $0.94 per diluted share.  The Company's third quarter 2015 results were negatively impacted by $10.0 million of additional selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Company's acquisition of Horizon Lines, Inc. (the "Horizon Acquisition") in excess of the Company's incremental run-rate target, which reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.14.  Consolidated revenue for the third quarter 2016 was $500.4 million compared with $544.3 million reported for the third quarter 2015.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Matson reported net income of $61.1 million, or $1.40 per diluted share compared with $76.4 million, or $1.74 per diluted share in 2015.  Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were negatively impacted by $23.5 million of additional selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon Acquisition and by $11.4 million for the Company's settlement with the State of Hawaii to resolve all of the State's claims arising from the discharge of molasses into Honolulu Harbor in September 2013 (the "Molasses Settlement"), which together reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.46.  Consolidated revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 was $1,422.3 million, compared with $1,390.1 million in 2015.

Matt Cox, Matson's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Matson's third quarter results came in below our expectations.  In Hawaii, there was a lull in container volume following healthy market growth in the first half of the year.  In Alaska, energy sector related macroeconomic headwinds and a lower seafood harvest drove Matson's container volume below our expected levels.  Despite these challenges, we are encouraged by the strong demand for our highly differentiated expedited China service and our steady performance in Guam.  We made sizeable investments during the quarter that underscore our commitment and confidence in the long-term prospects for both Hawaii and Alaska.  Our acquisition of Span Alaska significantly expanded Matson Logistics' platform into freight forwarding and solidified Matson's position as a critical freight transportation provider to Alaska.  Following that we ordered two new ConRo ships, the Kanaloa Class, for delivery by mid-2020, that along with our Aloha Class containerships already under construction, will complete the renewal of our Hawaii fleet and allow for an optimal nine-ship deployment with significantly lower operating costs while ensuring superior reliability."

Mr. Cox added, "For the balance of 2016, we expect our core businesses to continue generating strong cash flow which, combined with available capacity under our $400 million revolving credit facility and additional debt financings, will provide for our fleet renewal investments and the return of capital to shareholders."

Third Quarter 2016 Discussion and Outlook for Fourth Quarter 2016

Ocean Transportation:

The Company's third quarter 2016 Hawaii container volume declined year-over-year, primarily due to the absence of volume gains associated with a competitor's service reconfiguration and service issues in the third quarter 2015, and a slower than expected growth environment.  Despite the lull in market volumes during the third quarter 2016, the Company continues to believe that the Hawaii economy is healthy and expects construction activity to support market growth in the future.  For the fourth quarter 2016, the Company expects its Hawaii container volume to be lower than the fourth quarter 2015, which benefitted from volume gains associated with a competitor's service reconfiguration and related issues.

In China, the Company's container volume in the third quarter 2016 was slightly lower year-over-year, as continued market softness in the first two months of the quarter was partially offset by increased demand for the Company's expedited service offering related to the market dislocation that followed Hanjin Shipping's bankruptcy filing on September 1, 2016.  The Company realized a sizeable rate premium in the third quarter 2016, but as expected, average freight rates were significantly lower than the third quarter 2015.  In the fourth quarter 2016, the Company expects higher container volume as its expedited service offering remains highly differentiated amid a challenged international container shipping market that continues to be plagued by chronic over-capacity.

In Guam, as expected, the Company's container volume in the third quarter 2016 was modestly lower on a year-over-year basis, the result of competitive losses to a bi-weekly U.S. flagged containership service that commenced in January 2016.  In the fourth quarter 2016, the Company expects to experience continued modest competitive volume losses.

In Alaska, the Company's container volume for the third quarter 2016 was lower than expected, declining more than 10 percent year-over-year as northbound freight volume was challenged by energy sector related macroeconomic headwinds and southbound volume was impacted by an unexpectedly lower seafood harvest in 2016.  For the fourth quarter 2016, the Company expects the ongoing muted economic activity in Alaska to result in container volume that approximates the level achieved in the fourth quarter 2015. 

For the full year 2016, the Company's terminal joint venture, SSAT, is expected to contribute profits 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 2015 that resulted from the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions.

As a result, the Company expects fourth quarter 2016 Ocean Transportation operating income to be approximately 15 percent lower than the fourth quarter 2015 level of $43.6 million.

Logistics:  On August 4, 2016, Matson Logistics completed its previously announced acquisition of Span Alaska, a market leading provider of less-than container load freight consolidation and forwarding services to Alaska, for total consideration of $199.1 million (the "Span Alaska Acquisition").  As a result, the Company expects its Logistics segment operating income for the full year 2016 to be approximately $11 million.

Interest Expense: The Company expects its interest expense in 2016 to be approximately $24 million, including interest related to the issuance of $200 million of 15-year senior unsecured notes on September 14, 2016, bearing interest at 3.14 percent.

Income Tax Expense: The Company expects its effective tax rate for the full year 2016 to be approximately 39 percent.

Capital Spending and Vessel Dry-docking: On August 25, 2016, Matson signed a contract with General Dynamics NASSCO to build two new combination container and roll-on/roll-off vessels for its Hawaii fleet at a contract price of $511 million for both vessels, with deliveries scheduled for the end of 2019 and mid-year 2020.  In the first nine months of 2016, the Company made capital expenditure payments of $67.3 million, capitalized vessel construction expenditures of $39.2 million, and dry-docking payments of $43.7 million.  For the full year 2016, the Company expects to make capital expenditure payments of approximately $90 million, capitalized vessel construction expenditures of approximately $96 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $57 million.  For the full year 2016, the Company expects depreciation and amortization to total approximately $136 million compared to $105.8 million in 2015, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $38 million expected in 2016 and $23.1 million in 2015.

Approximate 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 decreased $46.8 million, or 10.5 percent, during the third quarter 2016 compared with the third quarter 2015.  This decrease was primarily due to lower fuel surcharge revenue, lower freight rates in the Company's China service, and lower container volume in Hawaii, Alaska and Guam, partially offset by higher freight rates in Hawaii and Guam.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume decreased by 8.0 percent primarily due the absence of volume gains attributed to a competitor's service reconfiguration and vessel mechanical failure in the prior year; Alaska volume decreased by 10.7 percent due to ongoing macroeconomic headwinds related to energy prices and a lower seafood harvest; China volume was 3.0 percent lower due to continued market softness; and Guam volume was 4.6 percent lower due to competitive losses associated with the launch of a competitor's bi-weekly U.S. flagged containership service in January 2016.

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $26.2 million, or 38.0 percent, during the third quarter 2016 compared with the third quarter 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to lower freight rates in China, and lower container volume in Hawaii and Alaska.  Partially offsetting these unfavorable year-over-year comparisons were the absence of selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon Acquisition, and higher freight rates in Hawaii and Guam.

The Company's SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $3.6 million during the third quarter 2016, compared to $4.5 million in the third quarter 2015.  The $0.9 million year-over-year decrease was primarily due to an increase in SSAT's allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, partially offset by improved lift volume.

Approximate 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 $38.0 million, or 3.5 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from the Company's acquired Alaska service for the full nine-month period and higher container volume and yield in Hawaii, partially offset by lower freight rates and container volume in the Company's China service and lower fuel surcharge revenue.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume increased by 2.2 percent due to competitive gains associated with a competitors' service reconfiguration in 2015 and modest market growth; Alaska volume increased due to the inclusion of a full nine-month period in 2016; China volume was 10.3 percent lower due to market softness and the absence of the high demand experienced in the first half of 2015 related to the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions; and Guam volume was 2.1 percent lower primarily due to competitive losses associated with the launch of a competitor's bi-weekly U.S. flagged containership service in January 2016.

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $34.6 million, or 24.0 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to lower freight rates and volume in the China service, higher vessel operating expenses related to the deployment of additional vessels in the Hawaii trade in the first half of 2016, and higher terminal handling expenses.  Partially offsetting these unfavorable items were the absence of selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon Acquisition and costs related to the Molasses Settlement, and container volume and yield improvements in Hawaii.

The Company's SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $9.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $13.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  On a year-over-year basis, SSAT's lift volume improved during the first nine months of 2016; however, the positive impact of lift volume was more than offset by the absence of the benefits related to the clearing of international cargo volume after the U.S. West Coast labor disruptions in the first half 2015 and by an increase in SSAT's allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.

Logistics revenue increased $2.9 million, or 2.9 percent, during the third quarter 2016 compared with the third quarter 2015.  This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of freight forwarding revenue from the Span Alaska Acquisition effective August 4, 2016, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue and lower volume.

Logistics operating income increased $0.6 million during the third quarter 2016 compared with the third quarter 2015.  The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of freight forwarding operating results effective August 4, 2016 attributable to the Span Alaska Acquisition, partially offset by lower intermodal yield.

Logistics operating results include Span Alaska operating results from the date of acquisition on August 4, 2016.

 

Logistics revenue decreased $5.8 million, or 2.0 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The decrease was primarily the result of lower fuel surcharge revenue, largely offset by the inclusion of freight forwarding revenue from of the Span Alaska Acquisition.

Logistics operating income increased by $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the inclusion of freight forwarding operating results from the Span Alaska Acquisition, higher intermodal volume, and higher highway yield, partially offset by lower intermodal yield.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation

Matson's Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased by $9.1 million to $16.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Matson generated net cash from operating activities of $87.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $159.0 million in the first nine months of 2015.  Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2016 totaled $106.5 million compared with $30.3 million in the first nine months of 2015.  In addition, during the third quarter 2016, Matson made net cash deposits of $110.9 million to its Capital Construction Fund ("CCF") which is expected to be used to fund vessel construction progress payments.  Total debt increased by $382.5 million during the first nine months of 2016 to $812.4 million as of September 30, 2016, of which $786.1 million was long-term debt.  On September 14, 2016, Matson issued $200 million in privately placed 15-year final maturity senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") pursuant to a previously announced commitment letter.  The Notes have a weighted average life of approximately 8.5 years and bear interest at a rate of 3.14 percent, payable semi-annually.  Proceeds from the Notes were used to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

For twelve months ended September 30, 2016, Matson's Net Income, Cash Flow from Operations, and EBITDA were $87.7 million, $173.8 million, and $292.4 million, respectively.  The ratio of Matson's Net Debt to last twelve month EBITDA was 2.3 as of September 30, 2016.

During the third quarter 2016, Matson repurchased 137,311 shares of common stock at an average price of $34.91 per share.  Since the inception of the share repurchase program in November 2015 and as of November 4, 2016, Matson had repurchased a total of 1,127,612 shares of common stock at an average price of $37.94 per share.  An additional 1,872,388 shares are authorized for repurchase under the program.

Subsequent Events

On October 27, 2016, the Company entered into a private placement commitment letter under which it expects to issue $75 million of 11-year final maturity senior unsecured notes (the "11-year Notes") within 90 days, subject to entering into definitive documentation and satisfying other customary closing conditions.  The 11-year Notes are expected to have a weighted average life of approximately 8 years, a fixed interest rate of 3.37 percent, and financial and other covenants that are substantially the same as the covenants in the Company's existing outstanding senior unsecured notes.  Proceeds of the 11-year Notes are expected to be used to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Also on October 27, 2016, Matson's Board of Directors' declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per share payable on December 1, 2016 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2016.

(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.
