October 27, 1995
To Our Shareholders
The third quarter 1995 net income of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (A&B) was
$10,345,000, or $0.23 per share. Net income for the comparable period of 1994
was $13,812,000, or $0.30 per share. Net income in the 1994 quarter included
$2,788,000, or $0.06 per share, from operations of Matson Leasing Company, Inc.
(Matson Leasing), a subsidiary whose net assets were sold in June 1995.
Net income for the first nine months of 1995 was $42,381,000, or $0.93 per
share, versus $51,657,000, or $1.12 per share, in 1994. Net income in the first
nine months of 1995 included $5,336,000, or $0.12 per share, from operations of
Matson Leasing and a gain of $17,206,000, or $0.38 per share, on its sale. Net
income in the first nine months of 1994 included $7,406,000, or $0.16 per share,
from Matson Leasing operations.
The 1995 nine-month results included an after-tax charge of $5,050,000, or $0.11
per share, for closing unprofitable sugar-growing operations at the Company's
McBryde plantation on the island of Kauai. This charge was recorded in the
second quarter of 1995.
Fourth-Quarter Dividend
On October 26, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized a fourth-quarter dividend
of $0.22
per share, payable on December 7, 1995 to shareholders of record as of the close
of business on November 9, 1995.
Operating Profit, Segment Summaries
Consolidated operating profit from continuing operations for the third quarter
of this year was five percent higher than in the third quarter of 1994.
Consolidated operating profit from continuing operations for the first nine
months of 1995, however, was substantially lower than in the same period of
1994. Comparisons between the periods for each business segment are explained in
the following sections.
Interest Income Boosts Matson's Results
Ocean transportation operating profit in the third quarter of 1995 rose by 20
percent, primarily due to greater interest income from higher investment
balances, lower fuel prices, reduced operating and overhead expenses, and
improved results in the Pacific Coast service.
These improvements were partially offset by lower cargo volume in the Hawaii
service. Hawaii container volume in the third-quarter of 1995 declined nine
percent compared with the third quarter of 1994, primarily the result of
continuing weakness in some sectors of Hawaii's economy. Comparing the same
periods, Matson's Hawaii automobile volume declined by 18 percent.
The higher investment balances result from the net proceeds of the sale of
Matson Leasing. Certain of these funds are planned to be used in early 1996 to
acquire vessels from American President Lines, Ltd. (APL) in a previously
announced transaction.
For the first nine months of 1995, ocean transportation operating profit
declined by 13 percent, primarily due to lower cargo and higher fuel costs. For
that period, Matson's Hawaii container volume was down eight percent and
automobile volume was down seven percent.
Income Property Results Higher
Third-quarter 1995 property leasing operating profit was six-percent greater
than in the comparable period in 1994. The improvement was primarily due to the
start of ground lease revenue for a new Costco facility in Kahului, Maui, and
higher contributions from Mainland properties.
Property leasing operating profit for the first nine months of 1995 was three-
percent lower than in the first nine months of 1994. Earlier in 1995, the leased
property portfolio was smaller, due to the sale late in 1994 of a Denver
shopping center, and because the Costco lease had not yet started.
The leased property results are benefiting from continuing high occupancy levels
for Mainland properties, where year-to-date occupancy rates averaged 97 percent,
versus 96 percent last year. Occupancy levels for developed Hawaii properties
averaged 90 percent, versus 93 percent last year.
Property Sales Low In Third Quarters 1994 and 1995
Total third-quarter 1995 property sales revenue was $2.4 million, versus $2.1
million recorded in the third quarter of 1994. Operating profit this quarter was
about half of the 1994 figure. Sales in the third quarter of 1995 included 15
residential subdivision lots and condominium units, versus 20 subdivision lots
in the same period of 1994.
Property sales revenue of $9.4 million in the first nine months of 1995 was
lower than the $14.8 million recorded in the first nine months of 1994.
Operating profit from property sales for the first nine months was about one-
third of that in the first nine months of 1994. 1994 results included a sale of
two prime, undeveloped acres near the harbor at Kahului, Maui. There were an
aggregate of 29 residential subdivision lots and condominium units sold in the
first nine months of 1995, versus 32 lots during that period last year.
C&H Strike, Lower Sugar Production
Food products operating losses increased in the third quarter of 1995 versus the
same period in 1994. Results in the third quarter of 1995 reflect low refiner
margins and a strike at California and Hawaiian Sugar Company, Inc. (C&H) by
members of Sugar Workers Union No.1, AFL-CIO Seafarers International Union of
North America that began on September 8 and ended on October 17. Third quarter
results also reflect lower sugar yields, which will decrease the expected 1995
sugar harvest at Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company, A&B's plantation on Maui.
For the nine months, the operating loss of $19.6 million compares with a loss of
$1.5 million in the same period in 1994. The 1995 loss includes a pre-tax charge
of $8.1 million for closing sugar operations on Kauai.
Sugar refining operations of C&H continue to be hurt by raw cane sugar prices
that have
reached a 14-year high, and by relatively low refined product prices.
Legislation that will affect many agricultural commodities, including sugar, is
being considered by Congress. The deliberations now taking place in Washington,
D.C. will significantly influence the future prospects for the Company's cane
sugar refining and sugarcane growing operations.
Transition Continues, Outlook
A&B continues to face major challenges in its businesses, but the Company is
moving ahead with strategic initiatives that will help improve earnings. During
the quarter, we announced that an implementation agreement was reached with APL
for the purchase of six vessels and subsequent operation of a new, cost-
efficient joint service to Hawaii, Guam and the Far East. Also, we are
progressing well with the construction and marketing of the first 42 acres of
our new Maui Business Park, and are actively participating with industry groups
and Congressional representatives in the important ongoing deliberations
regarding sugar legislation.
Recognizing that fundamental changes have taken place in some of the markets
served by our businesses, we are continuing to work on a series of significant
cost reduction initiatives. The first to be announced was the phase-out of
unprofitable sugar operations on Kauai, which is proceeding as planned. Another
is the consolidation of Matson's customer service operations at a new facility
in Phoenix, Ariz. where operations are beginning this month. Additional changes
are being evaluated and will be announced as soon as final plans are developed
and approved.

FINANCIAL NOTES
(Unaudited)
(a) Because of the nature of the Company's operations, the results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
year, but, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary
for the fair presentation of interim period results have been included in
this interim financial report.
(b) Estimated effective annual income tax rates differ from statutory rates,
primarily due to the dividends-received deductions and various tax credits.
(c) Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.
(d) In June 1995, the Company announced the closure of sugar production at its
McBryde Sugar Company, Limited subsidiary on Kauai. The closure costs of
$8.1 million are shown as a separate item in the accompanying income
statements.
(e) On June 30, 1995, the Company sold the containers and certain other assets
and liabilities of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. to XTRA Corporation for
approximately $360 million. Specifically excluded from the sale were the
debt and United States tax obligations of the business. Accordingly, the
container leasing segment is reported as a discontinued operation at
September 30, 1995, and the consolidated financial statements separately
report the net assets, operating results and cash flows of the business.
The amounts presented for prior periods have been restated for
comparability.
The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $26.3 million, which included the
gain on the sale of assets, less estimated costs to be incurred in
connection with the sale. The Company is using the proceeds from the sale
to repay debt and to meet the capital needs of the remaining segments.
(f) Interest expense of Matson Leasing Co., Inc. had been classified an
operating expense prior to the sale of the business. Following the sale,
the lon-term debt reverted to Matson Navigation Company, Inc. and interest
on the debt from July 1, 1995 forward has been classified as interesT
expense.
