Insights

Financial Analyst

Analyzing First Hawaiian, Inc.'s first-quarter earnings, the subtle uptick in net interest income by $2.6 million or 1.7% compared to the previous quarter is notable. This demonstrates a robust control over interest-earning assets amidst a shifting rate environment. The increase of 10 basis points in net interest margin to 2.91% is particularly important, as it indicates improved profitability from lending activities. However, the decrease in total deposits by $663.2 million or 3.1% may signal a potential risk in liquidity management that requires monitoring. The provision for credit losses, slightly up by $1 million from the prior quarter, suggests that the bank is cautiously anticipating potential defaults, which is prudent given economic uncertainties.

Market Research Analyst

From a market perspective, the stable asset quality with non-performing assets at 0.13% of total loans and leases is a strong indicator of First Hawaiian's effective risk management strategies. The increase in the allowance for credit losses ratio from 1.09% to 1.12% reinforces the bank's defensive position against potential future losses. Additionally, the dividend declaration of <$0.26> per share underscores the company's commitment to shareholder returns. However, the decline in total loans and leases, along with a drop in total deposits, may reflect a shrinking market share or a strategic shift in the bank's operations that investors should consider.

Banking Sector Analyst

Capital ratios, such as the tier 1 leverage and common equity tier 1, which have marginally increased to 8.80% and 12.55% respectively, demonstrate First Hawaiian's solid capital structure. This is a critical aspect for investor confidence, ensuring that the institution can withstand potential financial stress. The absence of share repurchases in the quarter could be interpreted as a strategic choice to preserve capital, possibly in anticipation of future growth opportunities or as a buffer against economic headwinds. Investors might find reassurance in the bank's prudent capital management practices.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, there can be no assurance that actual results will not prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including (without limitation) the risks and uncertainties associated with the domestic and global economic environment and capital market conditions and other risk factors. For a discussion of some of these risks and important factors that could affect our future results and financial condition, see our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Return on average tangible assets, return on average tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these measurements are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate financial performance and capital adequacy relative to other financial institutions. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Investors should consider our performance and capital adequacy as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance and capital adequacy.

Table 12 at the end of this document provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

⁽²⁾ Return on average tangible assets, return on average tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. We compute our return on average tangible assets as the ratio of net income to average tangible assets, which is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our average total assets. We compute our return on average tangible stockholders’ equity as the ratio of net income to average tangible stockholders’ equity, which is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our average total stockholders’ equity. We compute our tangible book value per share as the ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to outstanding shares. Tangible stockholders’ equity is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our total stockholders’ equity. We compute our tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets as the ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets, each of which we calculate by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) the value of our goodwill.

_____________________________

⁽¹⁾ Non-performing loans and leases are included in the respective average loan and lease balances. Income, if any, on such loans and leases is recognized on a cash basis.

⁽²⁾ Interest income includes taxable-equivalent basis adjustments of $1.5 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

⁽³⁾ Interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis.

⁽⁴⁾ Net interest margin is net interest income annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, divided by average total earning assets.
