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 “First 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

​

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a discussion of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect its future results from the perspective of management. 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.

​

FIRST QUARTER 2026 DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK FOR 2026

​

Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the first quarter 2026 was 5.6 percent lower year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand and the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the year ago period. Hawaii’s economy is expected to experience modest growth supported by construction activity, while tourism remains soft and inflationary pressures persist. The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be comparable to the level achieved in 2025, reflecting similar economic conditions and stable market share.

​

In the China service, the Company’s container volume in the first quarter 2026 decreased 9.5 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand from a more traditional Lunar New Year freight cycle. The Company saw higher than expected freight demand post-Lunar New Year and the uptick in freight demand has continued to build in the second quarter as demand strengthens and volume returns to a more traditional seasonal pattern. The Company also

expects this demand strength to continue through peak season. In the second quarter 2026, the Company expects higher volume compared to the prior year period, which included a market decline in Transpacific demand due to the tariffs imposed in April 2025. The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be moderately higher than the level achieved in 2025 based on our 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 first quarter 2026 was flat 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 first quarter 2026 decreased 2.0 percent year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to lower general demand, partially offset by an additional northbound sailing and an additional AAX sailing compared to the year ago period. In the near term, the Company expects continued economic growth in Alaska supported by a low unemployment rate, jobs growth and continued oil and gas exploration and production activity. For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

​

The contribution from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $5.0 million in the first quarter 2026, or $1.6 million lower than first quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower lift volume. 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 second quarter 2026 to be approximately $20 million higher than the $98.6 million achieved in the second quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to modestly exceed the level achieved in full year 2025.

​

Logistics: Operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $6.8 million in the first quarter 2026, or $1.7 million lower compared to the level achieved in the first quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management. For the second quarter 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to approach the $14.4 million achieved in the second quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to approach 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. While the Company has effective mechanisms to recover the cost of fuel by the end of the year, for the second quarter the Company expects a negative impact from the lag in the recovery of fuel costs. For the second quarter 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be approximately $20 million higher than the $113.0 million achieved in the second quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to modestly exceed the level achieved in full year 2025 based on the Company’s expectations of China demand strength in the second quarter continuing through peak season, continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific Tradelane. For 2026 compared to 2025, the Company continues to expect a more normal operating seasonality pattern with consolidated operating income in the second and third quarters being the strongest relative to the first and fourth quarters.

​

Depreciation and Amortization: For full year 2026, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $210 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 $16 million.

​

Interest Expense, Net: The Company expects interest expense for the full year 2026 to be approximately $6 million.

​

Other Income (Expense): The Company expects full year 2026 other income (expense) 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: In the first quarter 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was 16.6 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 first quarter 2026, the Company made capital expenditure payments excluding new vessel construction expenditures of $30.3 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of $18.0 million, and dry-docking payments of $11.9 million. For the full year 2026, the Company expects to make other capital expenditure payments, including maintenance capital expenditures, of approximately $150 to $170 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of approximately $400 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $45 million.

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK FOR 2026

​

Ocean Transportation: The Company’s container volume in the Hawaii service in the fourth quarter 2025 was 0.6 percent higher year-over-year primarily due to higher general demand. Hawaii’s economy remains sluggish as softer tourism and ongoing inflationary pressures, including elevated interest rates, more than offset strength in construction activity. The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be comparable to the level achieved in 2025, reflecting similar economic conditions and stable market share.

​

In China, the Company’s container volume in the fourth quarter 2025 decreased 7.2 percent year-over-year. The Company saw higher than expected freight rates and volume driven by strong e-commerce and e-goods demand. The Company benefited from strong freight demand in its key customer segments as well as a more stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane as a result of the U.S.-China trade and economic deal announced on October 30, 2025, which reduced uncertainty regarding tariffs, port entry fees, global trade and other geopolitical factors. In the first quarter 2026, the Company expects lower volume compared to the prior year period. The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be modestly higher than the level achieved in 2025 based on our expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.

​

In Guam, the Company’s container volume in the fourth quarter 2025 increased 4.4 percent year-over-year primarily due to higher general demand. In the near term, the Company expects Guam’s economy to moderate reflecting a challenging tourism environment. For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

​

In Alaska, the Company’s container volume for the fourth quarter 2025 decreased 3.3 percent year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to one less northbound sailing compared to the year ago period, partially offset by higher export seafood volume on AAX. In the near term, the Company expects continued economic growth in Alaska supported by a low unemployment rate, jobs growth and continued oil and gas exploration and production activity. For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

​

The contribution in the fourth quarter 2025 from the Company’s SSAT joint venture investment was $9.3 million, or $18.8 million higher than fourth quarter 2024. The increase was primarily due to an impairment charge related to the write-down of a terminal operating lease asset at SSAT which impacted fourth quarter 2024 operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share by $18.4 million, $14.0 million and $0.42 per share, respectively. For full year 2026, the Company expects the contribution from SSAT to be comparable to the $32.5 million achieved in full year 2025.

​

Based on the outlook trends noted above, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income for the first quarter 2026 to be approximately $50 million. For full year 2026, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to approach the level achieved in full year 2025. For 2026 compared to 2025, the Company also expects to see a more normal operating income seasonality pattern with second and third quarters being the strongest relative to the first and fourth quarters.

​

Logistics: In the fourth quarter 2025, operating income for the Company’s Logistics segment was $7.7 million, or $2.4 million lower compared to the level achieved in the fourth quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from supply chain management. For the first quarter 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be modestly lower than the $8.5 million achieved in the first quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to approach the $44.2 million achieved in full year 2025.

​

Consolidated Operating Income: For the first quarter 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be lower than the $82.1 million achieved in the first quarter 2025. For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to approach the level achieved in full year 2025 based on our expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment.

​

Depreciation and Amortization: For full year 2026, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $210 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 $15 million.

​

Interest Expense: The Company expects interest expense for the full year 2026 to be approximately $6 million.

31

Table of Contents

​

Other Income (Expense): The Company expects full year 2026 other income (expense) 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: In the fourth quarter 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was 5.2 percent and benefited from a one-time tax adjustment of $18.5 million, or $0.59 per share, related to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. For the full year 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was 16.7 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 full year 2025, the Company made capital expenditure payments excluding new vessel construction expenditures of $149.1 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of $244.3 million, and dry-docking payments of $49.4 million. For the full year 2026, the Company expects to make other capital expenditure payments, including maintenance capital expenditures, of approximately $150 to $170 million, new vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner’s items) of approximately $425 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $45 million.

Fiscal Year: Fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 include 52 weeks.

​

Consolidated Operating Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $77.3 million, or 2.3 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease was due to a decrease in Ocean Transportation revenue of $74.2 million and a decrease in Logistics revenue of $3.1 million.

​

Operating Costs and Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $25.8 million, or 0.9 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease was due to a decrease in Ocean Transportation operating costs and expenses of $28.9 million which was partially offset by an increase in Logistics operating costs and expenses of $3.1 million.

​

Operating Income for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $51.5 million, or 9.3 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease was due to a decrease in Ocean Transportation operating income of $45.3 million and a decrease in Logistics operating income of $6.2 million.

​

The reasons for changes in operating revenue, operating costs and expenses, and operating income are described below, by business segment, in “Analysis of Operating Revenue and Income by Segment.”

​

Interest Income was $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $48.3 million in the prior year. The interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024 included interest of $10.2 million earned on a federal income tax refund. Excluding that amount, the decrease in interest income was due to a decreased amount of cash and cash

equivalent accounts, and cash on deposit and investments within the CCF that were invested in interest bearing accounts during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year.

​

Interest Expense was $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $7.5 million in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower outstanding debt, offset by capitalized interest related to the construction of new vessels during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year.

​

Other Income (Expense), net was $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $7.3 million in the prior year, and 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 increase in other income (expense) was due to an increase in the amortization of favorable adjustments reflected in the Company’s pension and post-retirement plan liabilities.

​

Income Taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $89.0 million, or 16.7 percent of income before income taxes, compared to $123.0 million, or 20.5 percent of income before income taxes in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 benefited from a one-time adjustment of $18.5 million or 3.5 percent related to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. Excluding this adjustment, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have been 20.1 percent.

​

Net Income during the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $31.6 million, or 6.6 percent, to $444.8 million, compared to the prior year.

​

Ocean Transportation revenue decreased $74.2 million, or 2.6 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume in China.

​

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii container volume increased 1.6 percent primarily due to higher general demand and the dry-docking of a competitor’s vessel in the first half of 2025; Alaska volume increased 1.7 percent primarily due to higher export seafood volume on AAX, partially offset by one less northbound sailing; China volume decreased 9.5 percent primarily due to the difficult trading environment in the Transpacific in the last three quarters of 2025 marked by continued uncertainty and volatility arising from tariffs and global trade; Guam volume decreased 4.3 percent primarily due to lower general demand; and Other containers volume increased 1.2 percent.

​

Ocean Transportation operating income decreased $45.3 million, or 9.0 percent, during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a lower contribution from China, partially offset by a higher contribution from SSAT.

​

The Company’s SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $32.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an impairment charge related to the write-down of a terminal operating lease asset at SSAT in the year ago period which impacted operating income by $18.4 million and higher lift volume.

Income from SSAT was $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss from SSAT of $1.0 million in the prior year, which included the Company’s portion of an impairment charge of $18.4 million related to the write-down of a terminal operating lease asset. Excluding this impairment charge, the increase in income from SSAT was due to higher operating profits generated by SSAT during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to increased lift volume. No impairment charge was recorded by SSAT during the year ended December 31, 2025. Cash dividends received from SSAT was $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $14.0 million in the prior year. Cash distributions from SSAT are dependent on the level of cash available for distribution after consideration of SSAT’s operational and capital needs. Changes in accounts receivable were primarily due to the timing of collections associated with those receivables. Changes in prepaid expenses and other assets were primarily due to a decrease in prepaid income tax receivables at December 31, 2024 due to a refund of $118.6 million related to the Company’s 2021 federal tax return that was received during the year ended December 31, 2024. Changes in accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities were primarily due to the timing of payments associated with those liabilities. Changes in operating lease assets and liabilities, net, were primarily due to new operating leases entered into during the year ended December 31, 2025, offset by lease payments and operating leases that expired during the same year. Deferred dry-docking payments were $49.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $30.2 million in the prior year. The increase in deferred dry-docking payments was due to an increase in vessel drydock related activities during the year ended December 31, 2025. Changes in other long-term liabilities primarily related to payments of pension and post-retirement liabilities, and multi-employer liabilities.

Total debt decreased by $39.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year. The decrease in fixed interest debt was due to the scheduled debt repayments made during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $544.3 million of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility, with a maturity date of July 23, 2030.

​

Working Capital: The Company had a working capital deficit of $55.5 million at December 31, 2025, compared to a working capital surplus of $49.2 million at December 31, 2024. Working capital is primarily impacted by the amount of net cash provided by operating activities, the amount of capital expenditures, the amount and timing of collections associated with accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, and the amount and timing of payments associated with accounts payable, accruals, income taxes, debt and other liabilities. The decrease in the Company’s working capital during the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to a decrease in cash provided by operating activities and higher capital expenditures during the year.

​

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

​

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II below. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, upon which the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based, requires that management exercise judgment in making accounting estimates about future events that may affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and actual results will, inevitably, differ from those accounting estimates. These differences could be material.

​

The Company considers an accounting estimate to be critical if (i)(a) the accounting estimate requires the Company to make assumptions that are difficult or subjective about matters that were highly uncertain at the time that the accounting estimate was made, (b) changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur in periods after the period in which the estimate was made, or (c)  the Company could have used different estimates; and (ii) changes in those accounting estimates would have had a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The critical accounting policies and estimates considered in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.

​

37

Table of Contents

Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Goodwill: The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company has reporting units within the Ocean Transportation and Logistics reportable segments.

​

Long-lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets: Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. In evaluating for impairment, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by each of these asset groups are compared with the carrying value recorded for each asset group to determine if its carrying value is recoverable. If this review determines that the amount recorded will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the asset group is reduced to its estimated fair value. These asset impairment analyses are highly subjective because they require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments to, among other things, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, potential impact of future events, including changes in economic conditions and operating performance, and future costs of maintenance and improvements of the assets. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted. The Company has evaluated its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment and determined that there was no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

​

Indefinite-life Intangible Assets and Goodwill: The Company’s indefinite-life intangible assets include goodwill and a trade name, and are grouped at the lowest level reporting unit for which identifiable cash flows are available. In estimating the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of a discounted cash flow model and fair value based on market multiples of EBITDA. The discounted cash flow approach requires the Company to use a number of assumptions, including market factors specific to the business, the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows generated by the business over an extended period of time, long-term growth rates for the business, and a discount rate that considers the risks related to the amount and timing of the cash flows. Although the assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model are consistent with the assumptions the Company used to generate its internal strategic plans and forecasts, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows from the reporting unit and the risk of achieving those cash flows. When using market multiples of EBITDA, the Company makes judgments about the comparability of multiples in closed and proposed transactions. Accordingly, changes in assumptions and estimates, including, but not limited to, changes driven by external factors, such as industry and economic trends, and those driven by internal factors, such as changes in the Company’s business strategy and its internal forecasts, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results. The Company has evaluated its indefinite-life intangible assets and goodwill for impairment and determined that there was no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

​

Insurance Related Liabilities: The Company purchases insurance with deductibles or self-insured retentions to mitigate significant risks that it is exposed to. Such insurance includes, but is not limited to, employee health, workers’ compensation, marine liability, cybersecurity, auto liability and physical damage to property and equipment. For certain risks, the Company elects to not purchase insurance because of the excessive cost of such insurance, the perceived remoteness of the risk or insurance coverage is not commercially available. The Company retains the risk of loss for insurance deductibles and self-insured retentions, for amounts that exceed the limits of the Company’s insurance policies, and for other risks not covered by insurance.

​

When estimating its reserves for retained risks and related liabilities, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic factors, current trends, and analyses provided by independent third parties. Periodically, management reviews its assumptions and estimates used to determine the adequacy of the Company’s reserves for retained risks and other related liabilities. The Company’s retained risks and other related liabilities contain uncertainties because management is required to apply judgment and make long-term assumptions to estimate the ultimate cost to settle reported claims, and of claims incurred but not reported, as of the balance sheet date. Insurance related liabilities were $43.1 million and $52.8 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s estimate of insurance related liabilities could change if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, however the Company does not expect any such change would have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

​

Pension and Post-Retirement Plans: The estimation of the Company’s pension and post-retirement benefit expenses and liabilities requires the Company to make various assumptions. These assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, salary growth, health care cost trend rates, inflation, retirement rates, mortality rates and expected contributions. Actual results that differ from the assumptions made could

38

Table of Contents

materially affect the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results. The effects of changing assumptions are included in unamortized net gains and losses, which directly affect accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Additionally, these unamortized gains and losses are amortized and reclassified to income (loss) over future periods.

​

Additional information about the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans and assumptions used is included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II below.

​

Income Taxes: The Company’s income tax expense requires the Company to make various judgments and estimates. These judgments and estimates are applied in the calculation of taxable income, tax credits, tax benefits, CCF related tax deductions, foreign-derived deduction eligible income and other tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue, costs and expenses for tax purposes. The calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be impacted by various factors including but not limited to changes in tax rates; changes in tax laws, regulations, rulings and interpretations of existing tax laws; and changes in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets including operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in future years. Significant changes to these judgments and estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s income taxes in a subsequent period.

​

Additional information about the Company’s income taxes is included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II below.
