Forward guidance
Matson expects its financial performance in the first quarter of 2023 to be the weakest of the year as normal seasonality returns to our domestic tradelanes and Logistics and our China service experiences freight demand levels below normalized conditions.
Tailwinds
- Continued economic growth in Hawaii to be supportive of freight demand.
- Continued economic growth in Alaska to be supportive of freight demand.
- Continued economic growth in Guam to be supportive of freight demand.
- Disciplined approach to capital allocation.
- Commitment to the return of excess capital to shareholders.
Headwinds
- Normal seasonality returns to our domestic tradelanes and Logistics.
- China service experiences freight demand levels below normalized conditions.
- Retailers continue to right-size inventories amid weakening consumer demand.
- Increasing interest rates create economic uncertainty.
- Higher inflation creates economic uncertainty.
