SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation: The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, and include the accounts of Matson, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of significant intercompany amounts and transactions. 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. The Company accounts for its investment in the Terminal Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and activities of Span Alaska from the acquisition date on August 4, 2016 (see Note 9). Due to the nature of the Company’s operations, including the acquisition of 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 consolidated 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 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 24, 2017.

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. Reclassifications: Amounts in changes in assets and liabilities within operating activities of the cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2016, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements: Share-Based Awards: The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “ Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ” (“ASU 2016-09”) during the first quarter of 2017. ASU 2016-09 simplified several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and the cumulative effect adjustments to beginning retained earnings and other components of shareholders’ equity as of the date of adoption were immaterial. Revenue from Contracts with Customers: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ” (“ASU 2014-09”). The guidance establishes principles regarding the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. It removes inconsistencies in existing revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-19 on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently reviewing customer contracts in each of its operating segments for all services provided, assessing the impact of applying ASU 2014-19, and comparing this to the Company’s historical revenue recognition criteria. Based upon the preliminary review of customer contracts, the Company believes that the Company’s revenue recognition policies are consistent with the requirements of ASU 2014-19. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of adopting ASU 2014-19, based upon information available to date, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-19 to have a significant impact either on the timing or recognition of Ocean Transportation and Logistics revenues. Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) ” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to record most leases in 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 guidance will be 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. |
