GENERAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. GENERAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation: The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matson, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of significant intercompany revenues, and costs and expenses. Significant investments in businesses, partnerships, and limited liability companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. A controlling financial interest is one in which the Company has a majority voting interest or one in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Due to the nature of the Company’s operations and the Company’s acquisition of Horizon Lines, Inc. (“Horizon”) on May 29, 2015, and Span Alaska on August 4, 2016, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2016. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income include the operations of Horizon from May 29, 2015, and Span Alaska from August 4, 2016. Fiscal Period: The period end for Matson, Inc. covered by this report is September 30, 2016. The period end for MatNav and its subsidiaries covered by this report occurred on the last Friday in September, or September 23, 2016.

Capital Construction Fund: The Company’s Capital Construction Fund (“CCF”) is described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $110.9 million and nominal amounts on deposit in the CCF, respectively. These amounts are held in a money market account and classified as long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the Company intends to use qualified cash withdrawals to fund long-term investment in the construction of new vessels. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made cash deposits of $110.8 million into the CCF. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made cash deposits of $123.4 million into the CCF. Additionally, $12.5 million of qualified cash withdrawal was made from the CCF during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. On October 21, 2016, the Company withdrew $32.5 million from the CCF and paid a scheduled progress payment associated with the construction of the new vessels. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $165.1 million and $176.6 million, respectively, of eligible accounts receivable were assigned to the CCF. Due to the nature of the assignment of eligible accounts receivable into the CCF, such assigned amounts are classified as part of accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss: Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in millions): Accumulated Non- Foreign Other Post Qualified Currency Interest Comprehensive Pensions Retirement Plans Transaction Hedge Income (Loss) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ $ $ $ $ $ Net gain in prior service costs — — — — Amortization of prior service cost — — — — Amortization of net loss — — Foreign currency translation adjustment — — — — Balance at March 31, 2016 Amortization of prior service cost — — — Amortization of net loss — — — Balance at June 30, 2016 Amortization of prior service cost — — — — Amortization of net loss — — Foreign currency translation adjustment — — — — Balance at September 30, 2016 $ $ $ $ $ $ Accumulated Non- Foreign Other Post Qualified Currency Interest Comprehensive Pensions Retirement Plans Transaction Hedge Income (Loss) Balance at December 31, 2014 $ $ $ $ $ $ Net loss in prior service costs — — — — Amortization of prior service cost — — — — Amortization of net loss — — — Foreign currency translation adjustment — — — — Balance at March 31, 2015 Amortization of prior service cost — — Amortization of net loss — — Foreign currency translation adjustment — — — — Balance at June 30, 2015 Amortization of prior service cost — — — — Amortization of net loss — — — Foreign currency translation adjustment — — — — Other — — — — Balance at September 30, 2015 $ $ $ $ $ $ Contingencies: Environmental Matters: In September 2013, molasses was released into Honolulu Harbor from a pipeline system operated by a subsidiary of the Company. The Company cooperated with federal and state agencies involved in responding to and investigating the incident. The Hawaii Department of Health reported on September 20, 2013 that dissolved oxygen and pH levels in the harbor and nearby Keehi Lagoon had returned to normal target levels and that there was no longer discoloration of the water in those same areas attributable to the molasses release. Keehi Lagoon was reopened to the public on September 21, 2013. The Company previously resolved all federal criminal claims, and all criminal, civil and administrative claims that the State of Hawaii may have had arising from the molasses release. On October 13, 2016, the United States Department of Justice delivered a letter to Company counsel stating that it is prepared to file a civil penalty action under the Clean Water Act but would be willing to discuss a potential resolution of those claims prior to filing an action. The Company believes it has defenses against those claims. In addition to the molasses release discussed above, the Company’s ocean transportation business has certain other risks that could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. The Company believes that based on all information available to it, the Company is currently in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Other Matters: The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to, or may be contingently liable in connection with other legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Subsequent Event: On October 27, 2016, the Company entered into a private placement commitment letter under which it expects to issue $75 million of 11-year 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. New Accounting Pronouncements: Leases: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) ” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments, and a right-of-use asset for the underlying leased asset for the period of the lease term. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating this guidance. Share-Based Awards: In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “ Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ” The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating this guidance. |
