3 • 2Q25 exceeded our expectations amid the challenges of market uncertainty and volatility arising from tariffs and global trade • Ocean Transportation operating income in 2Q25 was lower YoY primarily due to lower YoY volume in our China service ─ In our domestic tradelanes, we saw higher YoY volume in Hawaii and Alaska and lower YoY volume in Guam • In Logistics, our operating income was lower YoY primarily due to a lower contribution from transportation brokerage • Looking ahead, we expect uncertainty regarding tariffs and global trade, regulatory measures, the trajectory of the U.S. economy and other geopolitical factors to continue • Given 2Q25 financial performance and assuming these factors do not materially change from current conditions, we are raising full year outlook 2Q 2025 Earnings Conference Call Opening Remarks |

7 • At the onset of tariffs in April, we experienced significantly lower year-over-year freight demand as our customers held back less urgent shipments to work through the tariff impacts ─ Many of our customers were negotiating the tariffs with their trading partners on an order-by-order basis ─ At the same time, we saw carriers and alliances begin to reduce capacity in the Transpacific tradelane based on the significant volume downturn • Starting in mid-May, we saw a rebound in demand after the U.S. and China agreed to a temporary reduced level of tariffs, but also in anticipation of country-specific reciprocal tariffs returning in August ─ The build-up of freight that had taken place unwound over several weeks ─ Market freight rates increased quickly to meet the higher demand levels and capacity returned over the subsequent few weeks • Following the London meeting in June between the U.S. and China that upheld the terms from May, we saw a stabilization of volume modestly below the prior year period level amid a number of evolving tradelane supply and demand factors including: ─ Tradelane capacity reductions after the cargo rush in May ─ Customers in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries advancing freight ahead of July 9th when the 90-day pause on country-specific reciprocal tariffs expired ─ Some customers pulling forward freight from the traditional peak season in the third quarter to de-risk ahead of the next U.S.-China deadline 2Q 2025 Earnings Conference Call China Service − Current Business Trends |
8 • During 2Q25, we moved with our customers as they shifted production throughout Asia in response to the tariffs, which resulted in higher container volume levels outside of China ─ The sequential quarterly increase is primarily due to higher customer demand and the opening of our new expedited Ho Chi Minh service offering as our second best-in-class service out of Vietnam along with Haiphong from two years ago • We remain focused on supporting our customers in the region as they continue to shift their production capabilities, and we will look at opportunities to further expand our transshipment capabilities • Looking ahead, in 3Q25 we expect lower year-over-year freight rates and volume compared to the elevated demand levels achieved in 3Q24 and our expectation of a muted peak season this year ─ In July, we continued to see stabilized volume and rates, notwithstanding lower demand levels and continued pressure in the SCFI; as a result, we significantly outperformed the market relative to the SCFI due to our service differentiation and brand reputation • Assuming tariffs and global trade, regulatory measures, the trajectory of the U.S. economy and other geopolitical factors do not materially change from current conditions, we expect, for full year 2025, average freight rates and volume to be lower year-over-year 2Q 2025 Earnings Conference Call China Service − Current Business Trends (continued) |
