7 Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Current Business Trends • Stronger seasonal demand in 4Q24 – Some customers advancing freight ahead of a potential ILA disruption and proposed tariff increases – Also saw some customers in late December moving freight ahead of the earlier Lunar New Year this year • Experienced a traditional low demand environment during the post-Lunar New Year period in 1Q25 – Didn’t sail the MAX for three weeks and carried all freight on CLX – This is the same schedule we had for 2024 • Expect the post-Lunar New Year period to show a traditional ramp up of demand for the remainder of the first quarter, but volumes may be a bit softer than normal for the first few weeks due to the advancing of some cargo late in the fourth quarter

8 Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call China Service – Outlook • Where our China freight rates ultimately settle out in 2025 will depend on a number of macro factors including geopolitical conditions, supply chain activity, and the trajectory of the U.S. economy – Too early to tell how Red Sea, tariffs/trade, U.S. economy and other factors may play out • 1Q25 and FY 2025 Outlook: – We expect elevated freight rates in our China service to continue into 1Q25 – Beyond 1Q25, we expect freight rates will largely be driven by the timing of trade flow normalization in the Red Sea, other geopolitical factors, supply chain activity and the trajectory of the U.S. economy • Assuming trade conditions in the Red Sea normalize by middle of year, we expect freight rates to moderate in 2H25 • However, if the Red Sea remains disrupted through year end, we expect freight rates to remain elevated throughout 2025
