HONOLULU, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the second quarter of 2020 of
"I am very proud of the performance of our companies and our employees in the unprecedented COVID-19 period," said Connie Lau, HEI president and CEO. "While all of us continue to face uncertainties regarding the trajectory of the virus and its implications for the pace of economic recovery, what is clear is the strength and resilience of our businesses, the dedication of our employees, and our commitment to supporting our customers and community.
"We continue to maintain a strong financial position across the enterprise. Our utility's stabilizing regulatory mechanisms, our bank's conservative approach to risk, and our strong enterprise-wide liquidity have created a solid foundation, enabling us to continue delivering good consolidated results and supporting our customers and community through these challenging times.
"Our utility is advancing important cost reductions to help manage affordability for our customers. As we tighten our belts, we remain focused on collaborating with stakeholders to progress our renewable energy transition, supporting Hawaii's economic recovery and clean energy goals.
"Our bank's results reflect the impact of the crisis in the compression of lending margins and higher provision for potential credit losses. The bank was able to offset some of these pressures through strong mortgage production, good cost control and a gain on sale of securities, while continued deposit growth reinforced its liquidity position and low cost funding base. As the uncertain environment unfolds, the bank will continue to work closely with customers to manage our risk and serve as a source of stability," said Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS
Hawaiian Electric Company's (Hawaiian Electric) net income for the second quarter of 2020 was
$7 million lower operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to fewer generating unit overhauls, less generating station maintenance work associated with overhauls, the reclassification in the second quarter of COVID-19 related bad debt expense from the first quarter of 2020 to a regulatory asset as a result of Public Utilities Commission approval to defer these expenses (increasing quarterly earnings by$1.6 million ), and lower labor cost due to lower staffing levels and reduced overtime (increasing earnings by$1 million ). The lower generation overhauls and station maintenance work represented approximately$4 million of the$7 million total O&M variance, and are largely timing-related as some overhauls and station maintenance work will be performed later in 2020 or in 2021;$5 million revenue increase from$4 million higher rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues (including$2 million from Hawaiian Electric (Oahu), and$1 million each from Maui Electric (Maui County) and Hawaii Electric Light (Hawaii Island)) and$1 million for recovery of the West Loch PV project and Grid Modernization projects under the major project interim recovery (MPIR) mechanism;$1 million higher net income due to an unfavorable adjustment made in 2019 related to 2018 reliability performance incentives; and$1 million lower interest expense due to debt refinancings at lower rates.
These items were partially offset by the following after-tax items:
$1 million lower allowance for funds used during construction as there were fewer long duration projects in construction work in progress;$1 million higher cost savings from enterprise resource planning system implementation to be returned to customers; and$1 million higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency.
