Forward guidance

Currently, the Company expects the next two quarters to be challenging in the Transpacific tradelane as retailers’ inventories adjust to current consumer demand levels and as ocean liners reduce vessel capacity to meet lower demand levels. To this end, for the remainder of this year and into the first quarter of 2023, the Company expects to experience lower year-over-year freight demand and a lower rate environment for its CLX and CLX+ services, but Matson expects to continue to earn a significant rate premium to the SCFI due to its differentiated, reliable and fast ocean services.
