ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company, from time to time, may make or may have made certain forward-looking statements, whether orally or in writing, such as, among others, forecasts or projections of the Company’s future performance or statements of management’s plans and objectives. These statements are considered “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in, among other things, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings such as Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders, the Company’s Sustainability Report, press releases made by the Company, the Company’s Internet websites (including websites of its subsidiaries), and oral statements made by officers of the Company. Except for historical information contained in these written or oral communications, all other statements are forward-looking statements. These include, for example, all references to 2026 or future years, including such references included under “Second Quarter 2026 Discussion and Outlook for 2026,” as well as statements generally identified through the inclusion of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “commit,” “estimate,” “expect,” “focus,” “goal,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” and “will,” or similar statements or variations of such terms and other similar expressions. New risks or uncertainties may emerge from time to time, risks that the Company currently does not consider to be material could become material, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or outcomes, or the timing of results or outcomes, to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements cannot be relied upon as a guarantee of future results or outcomes and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected in the statements, including but not limited to the factors that are described in Part II, Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 . Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly forward-looking statements or any factors that may affect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events, circumstances occurring after the date of this report, or otherwise.
OVERVIEW

The discussion that follows is intended to provide information that will assist in understanding the changes in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from period to period, the primary factors that accounted for those changes, and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affected the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes herein, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 , the Company’s reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, and other publicly available information.
SECOND QUARTER 2026 DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK FOR 2026
Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the second quarter 2026 was 1.1 percent lower year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand . Hawaii’s economy remains stable, supported by strong construction activity and modest growth in tourist arrivals, but continues to face headwinds from higher energy-related inflation. The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to approach the level achieved in 2025, based on the Company’s expectation of similar economic conditions and stable market share.
In the China service, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2026 increased 15.2 percent year-over-year primarily due to significantly higher demand compared to the prior year period, which included a market decline in Transpacific demand due to the tariffs imposed in April 2025. In the second quarter 2026, momentum in the China service carried over from the post-Lunar New Year period, and the Company’s CLX and MAX services saw higher-

than-expected freight rates and demand across e-commerce, garments and e-goods against a backdrop of tighter supply conditions in the Transpacific tradelane. The Company expects its China service to be at or near capacity through peak season. For the fourth quarter 2026 , the Company expects demand to reflect a more traditional seasonality pattern compared to the elevated period of freight demand experienced in the Transpacific market in the fourth quarter 2025 following the U.S.-China trade and economic agreement announced on October 30, 2025. As such, the Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be higher than the level achieved in 2025 based on the Company’s expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.
In the Guam service, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2026 increased 4.4 percent year-over-year. In the near term, the Company expects Guam’s economy to remain stable. For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.
In the Alaska service, the Company’s container volume in the second quarter 2026 decreased 2.3 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower export seafood volume on AAX, partially offset by one additional northbound sailing. In the near term, the Company expects Alaska’s economy to remain stable supported by a low unemployment rate, steady job market and continued oil and gas exploration and production activity. For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to approach the level achieved last year.
The contribution from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $4.8 million in the second quarter 2026, or $2.5 million lower than second quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower lift volume and higher operating expenses. For full year 2026, the Company expects the contribution from SSAT to be lower than the $32.5 million achieved in full year 2025.
Based on the outlook trends noted above, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income in the third quarter 2026 to be approximately 45 percent higher than the $147.4 million achieved in the third quarter 2025. The Company also expects Ocean Transportation operating income in the fourth quarter 2026 to be modestly lower than the $136.0 million achieved in the fourth quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to be higher than the $455.6 million achieved in full year 2025.
Logistics: Operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $14.9 million in the second quarter 2026, or $0.5 million higher compared to the level achieved in the second quarter 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher contributions from freight forwarding and transportation brokerage, partially offset by a lower contribution from warehousing. For the third and fourth quarters 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be modestly higher than the $13.6 million and $7.7 million achieved in the third and fourth quarters 2025, respectively. For full year 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be higher than the $44.2 million achieved in full year 2025.
Consolidated Operating Income: To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted the Company’s operating performance or service levels; however, it has impacted fuel prices in all of the Company’s markets. The Company continues to expect to fully recover fuel costs by the end of the year. For the third quarter 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be approximately 45 percent higher than the level achieved in the third quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be higher than the level achieved in full year 2025 based on the Company’s expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.
Depreciation and Amortization: For full year 2026, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $205 million, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $35 million.
Interest Income: The Company expects interest income for the full year 2026 to be approximately $18 million.
Interest Expense, Net: The Company expects interest expense, net for the full year 2026 to be approximately $6 million.
Other Income (Expense), Net: The Company expects full year 2026 other income (expense), net to be approximately $7 million in income, which is attributable to the amortization of certain components of net periodic benefit costs or gains related to the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans.
Income Taxes: For the second quarter 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was 21.0 percent. For the full year 2026, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 21.0 percent.

Capital and Vessel Dry-docking Expenditures: For the second quarter 2026, the Company made capital expenditure payments excluding vessel construction expenditures of $25.4 million, vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of $181.8 million, and dry-docking payments of $12.7 million. For the full year 2026, the Company expects to make capital expenditure payments, including maintenance capital expenditures, of approximately $150 to $170 million, vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of approximately $400 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $45 million.

Consolidated Operating Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $138.9 million, or 16.7 percent, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to an increase in Ocean Transportation revenue of $91.8 million and an increase in Logistics revenue of $47.1 million.
Operating Costs and Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $93.0 million, or 13.0 percent, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to an increase in Ocean Transportation operating costs and expenses of $46.4 million and an increase in Logistics operating costs and expenses of $46.6 million.
Operating Income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $45.9 million, or 40.6 percent, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to an increase in Ocean Transportation operating income of $45.4 million and an increase in Logistics operating income of $0.5 million.
Changes in operating revenue, operating costs and expenses, and operating income are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Income by Segment.
Interest Income was $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, was due to lower amounts of cash and cash equivalents, and CCF funds that were invested in interest bearing accounts during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Expense, Net was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Interest expense, net incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was lower due to a reduction in outstanding debt during the period, which was offset by a reduction in capitalized interest related to the construction of three new vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Other Income (Expense), Net was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Other income (expense), net relates to the amortization of certain components of net periodic benefit costs or gains related to the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans. The decrease in other income (expense), net was due to a decrease in the amortization of favorable adjustments related to the Company’s pension and post-retirement plan liabilities.

Income Taxes were $34.5 million, or 21.0 percent of income before taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $27.0 million, or 22.2 percent of income before taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 benefited from higher discrete tax adjustments that lowered the effective tax rate for that period, compared to the same prior year period.

Changes in operating lease assets and liabilities, net were primarily due to new operating lease additions and renewals, offset by operating lease payments and terminations. Deferred dry-docking payments for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $24.6 million, compared to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
