Matson, Inc., a prominent U.S. carrier in the Pacific, provides ocean transportation and logistics services, notably connecting Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam with mainland U.S. and offering expedited services from China to California.
In its second quarter of 2025, Matson reported a net income of $94.7 million, a decrease from $113.2 million in the same quarter of 2024, with earnings per share dropping from $3.31 to $2.92. Despite these declines, the company raised its full-year outlook, highlighting resilience amid global trade challenges.
Key financial metrics showed a decrease in consolidated operating income to $113.0 million from $124.6 million year-over-year, and EBITDA fell slightly to $163.6 million. The company faced lower volumes in its China service due to tariff impacts but saw a rebound in demand after a temporary tariff reduction. In contrast, domestic tradelanes like Hawaii and Alaska experienced volume growth. Matson’s logistics segment faced a slight decline in operating income due to reduced contributions from transportation brokerage.
Looking forward, Matson anticipates continued uncertainty in global trade and regulatory measures but expects its Ocean Transportation operating income for the full year to surpass earlier guidance, albeit slightly lower than the previous year. The company remains cautiously optimistic about maintaining stable performance in its logistics segment.
Overall, Matson’s strategic adjustments and market adaptability position it to navigate ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges, with an emphasis on sustaining growth in its core transportation services.
