HEI Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

1Q23 Net Income of $54.7M and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $0.50

Utility Executing Well and Continuing to Operate Efficiently

Bank Results Reflect Solid Credit Quality, a Strong Capital Base and Ample Liquidity

Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the first quarter of 2023 of $54.7 million and EPS of $0.50 compared to $69.2 million and EPS of $0.63 for the first quarter of 2022.

“Our results for the quarter reflect good execution from across our enterprise, with the bank’s low-risk, conservative business model and the stability of Hawaii’s banking market proving their benefits during a quarter that saw challenges at a small number of mainland banks,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.

“In spite of these events, American Savings Bank (ASB) delivered solid results for the quarter, growing net income over the previous quarter to $18.6 million. ASB’s capital levels remain strong, well above regulatory required levels, and we continue to maintain ample access to liquidity totaling more than $3 billion, or nearly three times the amount of uninsured deposits. We have a strong and resilient deposit franchise, with 86% of deposits from our retail customers, and with 85% of our total deposits F.D.I.C. insured or fully collateralized.

“Our utility also performed well, growing net income compared to the first quarter of last year to $47.0 million. The utility continued to manage costs efficiently, and excluding higher maintenance and repair costs related to impacts from increased storm activity during the quarter, operations and maintenance expense was held nearly flat compared to the first quarter of last year,” said Seu.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS1

Hawaiian Electric Company’s (Hawaiian Electric) net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $47.0 million, compared to $46.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, with the increase primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $8 million higher revenues, consisting of $7 million from the annual revenue adjustment (ARA) mechanism and $1 million from the major project interim recovery (MPIR) mechanism;

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

  • $3 million in higher operations and maintenance expenses, including $2 million driven by increased storm costs due to inclement weather;
  • $2 million higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments to integrate more renewable energy and improve customer reliability and system efficiency;
  • $2 million of higher other expenses, including heat rate penalties and higher tax expense due to lower amortization of excess deferred taxes related to the 2017 Tax Act; and
  • $1 million in higher interest expense due to higher borrowings.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK EARNINGS

ASB’s first quarter 2023 net income was $18.6 million, compared to $17.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net income compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to lower noninterest expense and a lower provision for credit losses. The decrease in net income compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher noninterest expense, as well as a negative provision for credit losses (providing a benefit to net income) recorded in the first quarter of last year.

Total earning assets as of March 31, 2023 were $9.2 billion, up approximately 1% from December 31, 2022.

Total loans were $6.1 billion as of March 31, 2023, up 1% from December 31, 2022, reflecting growth across most of the portfolio.

Total deposits were $8.2 billion as of March 31, 2023, an increase of 0.75% from December 31, 2022. Core deposits declined 2.26% from December 31, 2022 while certificates of deposits increased 37.9%. For the first quarter of 2023, the average cost of funds was 0.66%, up 28 basis points versus the linked quarter and up 61 basis points versus the prior year quarter.

ASB’s return on average equity was 15.5%, compared to 15.7% in the linked quarter and 13.7% in the first quarter of 2022. Return on average assets was 0.78% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 0.76% in the linked quarter and 1.04% in the prior year quarter.

In the first quarter of 2023, ASB paid dividends of $14.0 million to HEI. ASB had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.7% as of March 31, 2023.

Please refer to ASB’s news release issued on April 28, 2023 for additional information on ASB.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies’ net loss was $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. The higher net loss compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to the $6.2 million after-tax gain on sale of an equity-method investment recorded at Pacific Current last year, and, in the current year, lower Pacific Current performance and higher interest expense.

BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

On May 4, 2023, HEI announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share, payable on June 9, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2023 (ex-dividend date is May 18, 2023). This quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.44 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 May 4, 2023 of $38.56, HEI’s dividend yield is 3.7%.
