HONOLULU, April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF) (the "Company"), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank" or "CPB"), today reported net income for the first quarter of 2022 of $19.4 million, or fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.70, compared to net income in the first quarter of 2021 of $18.0 million, or EPS of $0.64, and net income in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $22.3 million, or EPS of $0.80.

In addition to the financial results, during the first quarter of 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") Hawaii District Office announced that CPB was named the SBA Lender of the Year (Category 2), with CPB originating more SBA 7a loans to small businesses in Hawaii in 2021 than all other major Hawaii banks combined.

The first quarter also included an announcement that Swell Financial, Inc. ("Swell") will work with CPB and Elevate Credit, Inc. (NYSE:ELVT) ("Elevate", a leading tech-enabled provider of online credit solutions). Swell is a newly-launched fintech company incubated within CPB. It is on track to launch an integrated checking and line-of-credit account in the summer of 2022, with CPB serving as the bank sponsor. This key initiative will enable CPB to expand its presence beyond Hawaii into the U.S. mainland market. During the quarter, Swell also successfully closed a $10 million Series A capital raise that was led by third party investors, with participation from CPF and Elevate.

Finally, during the first quarter, the Bank continued its strong momentum with the new Shaka all-digital checking account base having reached nearly 4,000 accounts opened to-date. The Bank continues to focus on providing best-in-class digital convenience to our core Hawaii market through the product and related services.

"Central Pacific is pleased with our continued strong earnings in the first quarter of 2022. We anticipate that our ongoing digital transformation, along with a previously announced Banking-as-a-Service strategy, will contribute to our earnings growth in the future. With Hawaii's stronger than anticipated economic recovery, we continue to have an optimistic outlook, and are committed to supporting the financial needs of our customers and the broader community," said Paul Yonamine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Hawaii recently removed nearly all of the COVID-related restrictions which further facilitated our tourism industry's rapid recovery. Recent air arrivals have already surpassed pre-pandemic levels, even without the return of our international market. This has had a positive impact on our unemployment rate and our real estate market which has seen significant gains in sales and prices," said Executive Vice Chair Catherine Ngo.

"Our favorable revenue growth trends continued into the first quarter with solid core loan growth. With our strong asset quality, liquidity and capital positions, we are well positioned to continue to grow our market share," according to Arnold Martines, President and Chief Operating Officer.

On April 19, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share on its outstanding common shares. The dividend will be payable on June 15, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 234,981 shares of common stock, at a total cost of $6.7 million, or an average cost per share of $28.65. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company returned $13.9 million in capital to its shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases.

Earnings Highlights

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $50.9 million, compared to $49.8 million in the year-ago quarter and $53.1 million in the previous quarter. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 was 2.97%, compared to 3.19% in the year-ago quarter and 3.08% in the previous quarter. The sequential quarter decrease in net interest income and net interest margin is primarily due to lower net interest income and loan fees on PPP loans, combined with lower yields on core loans, partially offset by higher average loan and investment security balances. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 included $1.9 million in net interest income and loan fees on PPP loans, compared to $4.7 million in the previous quarter. Net deferred fees on PPP loans remaining at March 31, 2022 was $1.7 million, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2021. Additional information on average balances, interest income and expenses and yields and rates is presented in Table 4.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a credit to the provision for credit losses of $3.2 million, compared to a credit to the provision of $0.8 million in the year-ago quarter and a credit to the provision of $7.7 million in the previous quarter. The credit to the provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by continued improvements in the economic forecast and our loan portfolio.

Other operating income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $9.6 million, compared to $10.7 million in the year-ago quarter and $11.6 million in the previous quarter. The decrease from the year-ago quarter was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income of $1.8 million and lower income from bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") of $0.3 million, partially offset by higher other service charges and fees of $0.7 million and higher service charges on deposit accounts of $0.4 million. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income of $0.7 million, lower other service charges and fees of $0.5 million, and lower BOLI income of $0.4 million. The lower mortgage banking income during the current quarter was primarily attributable to lower loan origination activity due to rising interest rates. The lower BOLI income was primarily attributable to volatility in the equity markets. Additional information on other operating income is presented in Table 3.

Other operating expense for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $38.2 million, compared to $37.8 million in the year-ago quarter and $42.4 million in the previous quarter. The increase in other operating expense from the year-ago quarter was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million and higher legal and professional services of $0.2 million, partially offset by lower computer software expense of $0.7 million, and lower advertising expense of $0.5 million. The decrease in other operating expense from the previous quarter is primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits of $2.1 million, lower net occupancy expense of $0.4 million, lower deferred compensation plan expense of $0.4 million (included in other), lower legal and professional services of $0.3 million, and lower entertainment and promotions expense of $0.3 million (included in other). In addition, other operating expense in the previous quarter included branch consolidation costs of $0.4 million (included in other). Lower salaries and employee benefits during the current quarter was primarily due to lower incentive compensation accruals and commissions, combined with $1.1 million in severance expense included in the previous quarter. Additional information on other operating expense is presented in Table 3.

The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 63.16%, compared to 62.54% in the year-ago quarter and 65.61% in the previous quarter.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 23.7%, compared to 23.2% in the year-ago quarter and 25.4% in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets at March 31, 2022 of $7.30 billion increased from $6.98 billion at March 31, 2021, and decreased from $7.42 billion at December 31, 2021.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2022 of $5.17 billion increased from $5.14 billion at March 31, 2021, and increased from $5.10 billion at December 31, 2021. The sequential quarter increase in total loans included a net increase in core loans (or non-PPP loans) of $120.3 million led by growth in consumer loans of $45.1 million, home equity loans of $39.1 million, commercial mortgage loans of $23.3 million, and other commercial loans of $14.3 million, partially offset by a decline in PPP loans of $47.1 million due to SBA forgiveness and paydowns. The growth in consumer loans was primarily due to mainland unsecured and automobile portfolio purchases during the quarter. Loans by geographic distribution are summarized in Table 5.

Total deposits at March 31, 2022 of $6.60 billion increased from $6.21 billion at March 31, 2021, and decreased from $6.64 billion at December 31, 2021. Core deposits, which include demand deposits, savings and money market deposits and time deposits up to $250,000, totaled $6.12 billion at March 31, 2022, and decreased by $36.8 million from December 31, 2021. Non-core deposits decreased by $3.3 million from December 31, 2021. The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 78.4% at March 31, 2022, compared to 76.8% at December 31, 2021. Core deposit and total deposit balances are summarized in Table 6.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022 totaled $5.3 million, or 0.07% of total assets, compared to $7.2 million, or 0.10% of total assets at March 31, 2021, and $5.9 million, or 0.08% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Additional information on nonperforming assets, past due and restructured loans is presented in Table 7.

Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $0.4 million, compared to net charge-offs of $0.7 million in the year-ago quarter, and net recoveries of $0.9 million in the previous quarter.

The allowance for credit losses, as a percentage of total loans at March 31, 2022 was 1.25%, compared to 1.59% at March 31, 2021 and 1.33% at December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for credit losses, as a percentage of core loans at March 31, 2022 was 1.26%, compared to 1.36% at December 31, 2021. Additional information on net charge-offs and recoveries and the allowance for credit losses is presented in Tables 8 and 9.

Capital

Total shareholders' equity was $486.3 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $542.9 million and $558.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decline in shareholders' equity was primarily due to unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio which flow through accumulated other comprehensive income, and were driven by the rising interest rate environment.

The Company maintained its strong capital position and its capital ratios continue to exceed the levels required to be considered a "well-capitalized" institution for regulatory purposes under Basel III. At March 31, 2022, the Company's leverage capital, tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and common equity tier 1 ratios were 8.5%, 11.9%, 14.2%, and 10.9%, respectively, compared to 8.5%, 12.2%, 14.5%, and 11.2%, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

[1] In 2020, the Company recorded a reserve on accrued interest receivable ("AIR") of $0.2 million for loans on payment forbearance or deferral, which were granted to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This reserve was recorded as a contra-asset against AIR with the offset to the provision for credit losses. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company reversed the entire reserve on AIR. The provision for credit losses presented in this table excludes the provision for credit losses on AIR
[2] As of January 1, 2021, the provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures (previously included in other operating expense) is included in the provision for credit losses line on the consolidated statements of income.  The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures continues to be included in other liabilities. For roll-forward purposes, in this table we exclude the provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures
