3Q22 Net Income of $62.1M and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)1 of $0.57

Utility Performance Steady Despite Inflationary Environment

Strong Bank Results Reflect Continued Net Interest Margin Expansion, Strong Loan Growth and Favorable Credit Trends

HONOLULU, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the third quarter of 2022 of $62.1 million and EPS of $0.57 compared to $63.4 million and EPS of $0.58 for the third quarter of 2021. 

"Hawaii's economy continues to show signs of strength, with unemployment, housing prices and tourism arrivals still trending favorably despite global macro uncertainties," said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO. "We're pleased with our consolidated third quarter results, which reflect good performance across our enterprise and the benefits of our combination of companies. The utility successfully mitigated many of the impacts of the current higher cost environment and continued its strong progress in our clean energy transition.

"Our bank had another strong quarter. We again had broad-based loan growth, reflecting great work by our team along with the health of the local economy. We continued to see positive credit trends despite the inflationary environment, and rising interest rates continued to benefit our net interest margin and overall profitability," said Seu.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS2
Hawaiian Electric's net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $49.8 million, compared to $50.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, with the variance primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $6 million higher Annual Revenue Adjustment revenues; and
  • $1 million due to the reset of heat rate requirements leading to lower penalties for fuel efficiency at our Hawaii Island utility.

These items were partially offset by the following after-tax items:

  • $2 million in net tax adjustments due to tax credit benefits recognized in the third quarter of last year;
  • $2 million in higher operations and maintenance expenses, driven by increased generating station maintenance, increased preventative maintenance and higher bad debt expense, partially offset by higher expenses from generating station overhauls performed in the third quarter of last year;
  • $1 million in lower revenues related solely to a change in the timing for revenue recognition within the year for Maui County operations that eliminates seasonality in recognizing target revenues and results in recognizing revenues evenly throughout the year, with target revenues recognized on an annual basis remaining unchanged;
  • $1 million higher interest expense due to higher rates and balances; and
  • $1 million higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments to integrate more renewable energy and improve customer reliability and system efficiency.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK (ASB) EARNINGS
ASB's third quarter 2022 net income was $20.8 million, compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in net income compared to the linked quarter primarily reflected higher net interest income due to the rising interest rate environment and a negative provision expense recorded in the third quarter. The increase in net income compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher net interest income, partially offset by a smaller negative provision and lower noninterest income. 

Total earning assets as of September 30, 2022 were $8.9 billion, up 4.7% from December 31, 2021.

Total loans were $5.7 billion as of September 30, 2022, up 9.3% from December 31, 2021, reflecting growth across nearly the entire portfolio year to date.

Total deposits were $8.3 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 1.1% from December 31, 2021. For the third quarter of 2022, the average cost of funds was 0.13%, up 0.08% versus the linked quarter and up 0.07% versus the third quarter last year.

ASB's return on average equity3 for the third quarter of 2022 was 15.1%, compared to 12.2% in the linked quarter and 10.3% in the third quarter of 2021. Return on average assets was 0.89% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 0.76% in the linked quarter and 0.86% in the same quarter last year.

In the third quarter of 2022, ASB paid dividends of $5.0 million to HEI. ASB had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.75% as of September 30, 2022.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies' net loss was $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The higher net loss was primarily due to higher interest expense and higher general and administrative expenses.

BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On November 3, 2022, HEI announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, payable on December 9, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 22, 2022 (ex-dividend date is November 21, 2022). This quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.40 per share. Dividends have been paid on an uninterrupted basis since 1901. At the indicated annual dividend rate and based on the closing price per share on November 3, 2022 of $37.27, HEI's dividend yield is 3.8%.
