Insights

Financial Analyst

HEI's 2024 financial results reflect a transformative year marked by significant challenges and strategic repositioning. The $1,426 million net loss primarily stems from the Maui wildfire litigation, but the core business demonstrates resilience with $124 million in continuing operations income. The recent favorable Hawaii Supreme Court decision regarding insurance claims represents a important legal victory, potentially limiting additional liability exposure beyond the settlement agreements.

The strategic sale of 90.1% of American Savings Bank marks a pivotal shift toward a simplified, utility-focused business model. This transaction serves multiple strategic objectives: reducing holding company debt, streamlining regulatory oversight, and concentrating resources on the core utility operations. The suspension of both utility-to-parent and shareholder dividends, while challenging for income investors, preserves capital for essential operations and liability management.

Operational improvements are evident in the utility segment, with the achievement of 36% renewable portfolio standard ahead of schedule, positioning HEI well for the 40% by 2030 milestone. The 7% decrease in typical residential bills, coupled with $18 million in customer bill credits, demonstrates a balance between operational efficiency and customer benefit.

The implementation of comprehensive wildfire mitigation efforts, including grid hardening and enhanced operational practices, represents a important investment in risk reduction. While these initiatives have increased O&M expenses by $76 million, they are essential for long-term risk management and regulatory compliance.

The company's focus on debt reduction and operational simplification, combined with proactive risk management measures, creates a foundation for potential recovery. However, the substantial wildfire-related liabilities and ongoing legal proceedings will continue to impact financial flexibility in the near term.

• Favorable Hawaii Supreme Court Decision Provides Clarity Needed to Help Finalize Maui Tort Litigation Settlement
• Strong Execution on Strategic Priorities in a Pivotal Year
  • Definitive Settlement Agreements Reached in Maui Wildfire Tort Litigation
  • Sale of 90.1% of American Savings Bank Simplified HEI’s Strategy and Regulatory Position While Allowing Enhanced Focus on Utility Business; Proceeds Will Be Used to Reduce Debt
  • Rapid Implementation of Utility Wildfire Mitigation Efforts: Grid Hardening and Redesign, Improved Situational Awareness and Operational Practices, and Enhanced Stakeholder Engagement Efforts Implemented to Reduce Risk
  • Utility Achieved a 36% Renewable Portfolio Standard in 2024, Accelerating Progress Toward the 2030 Milestone of 40%
  • Typical Residential Bill Decreased 7% in 2024; Utility Returned $18 Million in Bill Credits to Customers

HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported a net loss for the full year 2024 of $1,426 million, or $11.23 per share, compared to net income of $199 million, or $1.81 per share in 2023. Excluding the impacts of discontinued operations, Maui wildfire-related expenses and the Pacific Current asset impairment recorded in the third quarter, Core¹ income from continuing operations was $124 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to $152 million, or $1.38 per share in 2023.

The fourth quarter 2024 net loss was $68 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to net income of $49 million, or $0.44 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Core income from continuing operations was $35 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $37 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

“The past year was pivotal in our company’s history, and I am proud of the significant progress we’ve made to address the challenges before us and build a foundation for long-term success,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.

“Over the course of the year, we achieved numerous milestones in our efforts to regain HEI’s financial strength and emerge a stronger, more resilient company best positioned to serve our communities for the long term. The settlement agreements signed in November, along with the favorable Hawaii Supreme Court decision issued earlier this month, allow us to move forward with a clearer line of sight toward resolution of the Maui wildfire tort litigation. The sale of over 90% of American Savings Bank in December simplifies our strategy and regulatory position while allowing us to reduce holding company debt and focus more on our core utility business. The utility continued to rapidly progress its wildfire mitigation efforts throughout the year, and operational changes, new technology and the Public Safety Power Shutoff program implemented in 2024 have led to substantial strides in reducing risk of ignition from utility equipment. We also saw significant progress on another key strategic initiative, with the utility reaching a 36% renewable portfolio standard in 2024. This puts us on track to meet the 40% by 2030 milestone significantly ahead of schedule. These collective actions position our company well as we continue our commitment to a stronger, more resilient and more financially healthy future.”

As previously disclosed, on February 10, 2025 the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a decision regarding the reserved questions posed to them by the Second Circuit Court. The Hawaii Supreme Court’s decision clarifies that, once the settlement becomes final, insurers seeking to recover amounts paid to settling plaintiffs cannot separately sue defendants, including for amounts beyond the settlement agreed to by the plaintiffs and defendants. The Court’s decision aligns with the Company’s and plaintiffs’ positions on key questions that arose from insurers’ challenges to the settlement agreements reached in the Maui wildfire tort litigation.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS²

Full Year Results:

Hawaiian Electric’s full-year net loss was $1,226 million, compared to net income of $194 million in 2023, with the decrease primarily driven by the following items:

• $1,875 million ($1,392 million after-tax) loss due to the accrual of estimated wildfire liabilities from tort-related legal claims and cross claims as of December 31, 2024 (net of insurance recoveries);
• $76 million ($56 million after taxes) in higher operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, driven principally by the settlement of indemnification claims asserted by the state, higher wildfire mitigation program expenses and higher property and general liability insurance costs; and
• $7 million ($6 million after taxes) of higher depreciation expense.

These items were partially offset by the following:

• $43 million ($29 million after taxes) higher revenues, including $25 million from the annual revenue adjustment mechanism, $7 million from the major project interim recovery mechanism, $6 million of demand response program revenues (offset by expenses included in O&M) and $5 million from performance incentive mechanisms;
• $4 million ($3 million after taxes) of lower interest expense; and
• $3 million ($2 million after taxes) from a gain on sale of property.

Hawaiian Electric’s Core net income for 2024 was $181 million. Pre-tax wildfire-related expenses of $2,019 million were partially offset by $86 million in insurance recoveries and $38 million of costs deferred pursuant to the Public Utilities Commission’s decision allowing Hawaiian Electric to defer these costs.

Fourth Quarter Results:

Hawaiian Electric’s net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $46 million, compared to $58 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the variance driven by the following items: $30 million ($25 million after taxes) of higher O&M, $13 million ($9 million after taxes) in higher revenues, $3 million ($2 million after taxes) from a gain on sale of property and a $3 million ($2 million after taxes) impact from better heat rate performance. Hawaiian Electric’s Core net income was approximately $49 million for both the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023.

Utility Dividend Update

The utility dividend to HEI continues to be suspended, as holding company cash needs are limited following HEI’s recent equity issuance and the continued suspension of the dividend to HEI’s common equity shareholders.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK (ASB)

As previously announced, on December 31, 2024 HEI, ASB and ASB Hawaii (ASB’s parent holding company) closed on the sale of 90.1% of the common stock of ASB to various investors. Accordingly, the results of ASB are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. For the full year 2024, the loss from discontinued operations totaled $103 million, compared to net income of $53 million in 2023. Excluding wildfire expenses, the goodwill impairment recorded in the second quarter, and the net loss recorded in accordance with the December 2024 sale transaction, Core income for 2024 was $79 million.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies’ net loss was $96 million in 2024 compared to $48 million in 2023. The higher net loss for the year was primarily due to the Pacific Current asset impairment recorded in the third quarter, higher wildfire-related expenses and higher expenses at Pacific Current. Core net loss for the year was $56 million compared to $43 million in 2023. The fourth quarter 2024 net loss was $17 million compared to $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The higher net loss compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower Pacific Current net income. Core net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $14 million compared to $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures

HEI management uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies’ core operating activities. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP¹ earnings to non-GAAP Core earnings.

The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to Core earnings are limited to the costs related to the Maui wildfires, costs related to the strategic review and majority sale of ASB, and the asset impairment taken in connection with HEI’s ongoing review of strategic options for Pacific Current. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
