When we refer to "Central Pacific Financial Corp.," "CPF" or to the holding company, we are referring to the parent company on a standalone basis. We refer to Central Pacific Bank herein as "our bank" or "the bank."

Through our bank and its subsidiaries, we offer full-service commercial banking with 3527 bank branches and 7764 ATMs located throughout the state of Hawaii. Our administrative and main offices are located in Honolulu and we have 2719 branches on the island of Oahu. We operate four branches on the island of Maui, two branches on the island of Hawaii and two branches on the island of Kauai. Our bank's depositsIn 2021, the Company consolidated a traditional branch on Oahu with other existing nearby branches. With the continued successful customer migration to digital banking services, we consolidated three additional branches in 2022. At the same time, we are insured bycontinuing to invest in select strategic branch locations, including acquiring real estate and developing fully modernized branches utilizing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable limits. The bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.concepts we created in our RISE2020 headquarter building revitalization.


Central Pacific Bank is a full-service commercial bank offering a broad range of banking products and services, including accepting time and demand deposits and originating loans. Our bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable limits. The bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. Our loans include commercial loans, construction loans, commercial and residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

We derive our income primarily from interest and fees on loans, interest on investment securities and fees received in connection with deposit and other services. Our major operating expenses are the interest paid by our bank on deposits and borrowings, salaries and employee benefits and general operating expenses. Our bank relies substantially on a foundation of locally generated deposits. For financial reporting purposes, we have the following three reportable segments: (1) Banking Operations, (2) Treasury and (3) All Others. For further information about our reporting segments, including information about the assets and operating results of each, see "Note 26 - Segment Information" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Our operations, like those of other financial institutions that operate in our market, are significantly influenced by economic conditions in Hawaii, including the strength of the real estate market and the tourism industry, as well as the fiscal and regulatory policies of the federal and state government and the regulatory authorities that govern financial institutions. See the "Supervision and Regulation" section below for other information about the regulation of our holding company and bank.

Our Services

We offer a full range of banking services and products to businesses, professionals and individuals. We provide our customers with an array of loan products, including residential mortgage loans, commercial and consumer loans and lines of credit, commercial real estate loans and construction loans.

Through our bank, we concentrate our lending activities in five principal areas:

(1)
(1)Residential Mortgage Lending. Residential mortgage loans include fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans primarily secured by single-family, owner-occupied residences in Hawaii and home equity lines of credit and loans. We typically require loan-to-value ratios of not more than 80%, although higher levels are permitted with accompanying mortgage insurance. First mortgage loans secured by residential properties have an average loan origination size of approximately $0.6 million and marketable collateral. Changes in interest rates, the economic environment and other market factors have impacted, and future changes will likely continue to impact, the marketability and value of collateral and the financial condition of our borrowers and thus the level of credit risk inherent in the portfolio. A portion of our first residential mortgage loan originations are sold in the secondary market and a portion is put into our loan portfolio.

(2)Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Lending.  Loans in this category consist primarily of term loans and lines of credit to small and middle-market businesses and professionals in the state of Hawaii. The borrower's business is typically regarded as the principal source of repayment, although our underwriting policies and practices generally require additional sources of collateral, including real estate and other business assets, as well as personal guarantees where possible to mitigate risk and help to reduce credit losses.

(3)Commercial Mortgage Lending.  Loans in this category consist of loans secured by commercial real estate, including but not limited to, structures and facilities to support activities designated as multi-family residential properties, industrial, warehouse, general office, retail, health care and religious dwellings. Our underwriting policies and practices generally requires net cash flow from the property to cover the debt service while maintaining an appropriate amount of reserves and permits consideration of liquidation of the collateral as a secondary source of repayment.

5


(4)Construction Lending.  Construction land development and other land loans encompasses the financing of residential and commercial construction projects.

(5)Consumer Lending.  Loans in this category are generally either unsecured or secured by personal assets, such as automobiles, and the average loan size is generally small.

We typically require loan-to-value ratios of not more than 80%, although higher levels are permitted with accompanying mortgage insurance. First mortgage loans secured by residential properties have an average loan size of approximately $0.5 million and marketable collateral. Changes in interest rates, the economic recession and other market factors have impacted, and future changes will likely continue to impact, the marketability and value of collateral and the financial condition of our borrowers and thus the level of credit risk inherent in the portfolio. A portion of our first residential mortgage loan originations are sold in the secondary market and a portion is put into our loan portfolio.

(2)
Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Lending and Leasing.  Loans in this category consist primarily of term loans and lines of credit to small and middle-market businesses and professionals in the state of Hawaii.

(5)

Beyond the lending function described above, we also offer a full range of deposit products and services including checking, savings and time deposits, cash management and electronicdigital banking services, trust services and retail brokerage services.

Our Market Area and Competition

Based on deposit market share among FDIC-insured financial institutions in Hawaii, Central Pacific Bank was the fourth-largest depository institution in the state atas of December 31, 2019.2022.


The banking and financial services industry in the state of Hawaii generally, and particularly in our target market areas, is highly competitive. We compete for loans, deposits and customers with other commercial banks, savings banks, securities and brokerage companies, financial technology ("fintech") companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance companies, credit unions and other nonbanknon-bank financial service providers, including mortgage providers and brokers, operating via the internet and other technology platforms. Some of these competitors are much larger by total assets and capitalization, and have greater access to capital markets.

In order to compete with the other financial services providers in the state of Hawaii, we principally rely upon personal relationships between customers and our officers, directors and employees, and specialized services tailored to meet the needs of our customers and the communities we serve. We believe we remain competitive by offering flexibility and superior service levels to our customers, coupled with competitive interest rates andrate pricing, strong digital technology and local promotional activities.

For further discussion of factors affecting our operations see, "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Business Concentrations

No individual or single group of related accounts is considered material in relation to the assets or deposits of our bank, or in relation to the overall business of the Company. However, approximately 74%76% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 20192022 consisted of real estate-related loans, including residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, commercial mortgage loans and construction loans. See "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition—Loan Portfolio."

Our business activities are focused primarily in Hawaii. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition are impacted by the general economic trends in Hawaii, particularly in the commercial and residential real estate markets. During periods of economic strength, the real estate market and the real estate industry typically perform well; during periods of economic weakness, they typically are adversely affected.

Our Subsidiaries

Central Pacific Bank is the wholly-owned principal subsidiary of Central Pacific Financial Corp. As of December 31, 2019,2022, other wholly-owned subsidiaries include CPB Capital Trust IV and CPB Statutory Trust V. CPB Capital Trust II

The bank concluded that the investment meets the consolidation requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation." The bank also concluded that the entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity and that we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Accordingly, the investment has been consolidated into our financial statements. In March 2022, Oahu HomeLoans, LLC was terminated.

Supervision and Regulation

General

The Company and the bank are subject to significant regulation and restrictions by federal and state laws and regulatory agencies for the protection of depositors and the FDIC deposit insurance fund, borrowers, and the stability of the United States of America ("U.S.") banking system. The following discussion of statutes and regulations is a summary and does not purport to be complete nor does it address all applicable statutes and regulations. This discussion is also qualified in its entirety by reference to the statutes and regulations referred to in this discussion. We cannot predict whether or when new legislative initiatives may be proposed or enacted or new regulations or guidance may be promulgated nor the effect new laws, regulations and supervisory policies and practices may have on community banks generally or on our financial condition and results of operations. Such developments could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions and other financial institutions. We also cannot predict whether or when regulatory requirements may be reduced or eliminated and the overall affect such reduction or elimination may have on the Company and the bank.


Regulatory Agencies

Central Pacific Financial Corp. is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. As the bank holding company for Central Pacific Bank, Central Pacific Financial Corp. is regulated under the BHC Act and is subject to inspection, examination and supervision by the FRB. It is also subject to Hawaii's Code of Financial Institutions and is subject to inspection, examination and supervision by the Hawaii Division of Financial Institutions ("DFI").)

The Company is subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as administered by the SEC. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the trading symbol "CPF," and we are subject to the rules of the NYSE for companies listed there.

These bodies also determine whether our management is effectively managing the bank and the holding company and whether we are in compliance with all applicable laws or regulations.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

The federal banking agencies continue to implement the remaining requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as promulgating other regulations and guidelines intended to assure the financial strength and safety and soundness of banks and the stability of the U.S. banking system. Following on the implementation of the new capital rules under Basel III ("Basel III Capital Rule") and the so-called Volcker Rule which restricts certain proprietary trading and investment activities, on February 3, 2017 the President of the United States of America issued an executive order identifying certain “core principles” for the administration’s financial services regulatory policy and directing the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the heads of other financial regulatory agencies,We continue to evaluate how the current regulatory framework promotes or inhibits the principles and what actions have been, and are being, taken to promote the principles. In response to the executive order, on June 12, 2017, October 6, 2017, October 26, 2017 and July 31, 2018, respectively, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued four reports recommending a number of comprehensive changes in the current regulatory system for U.S. depository institutions, the U.S. capital markets, the U.S. asset management and insurance industries, and non-bank financial institutions, fintech and financial innovation around the following principles.

Improving regulatory efficiency and effectiveness by critically evaluating mandates and regulatory fragmentation, overlap, and duplication across regulatory agencies;

Aligning the financial system to help support the U.S. economy;

Reducing regulatory burden by decreasing unnecessary complexity;

Tailoring the regulatory approach based on size and complexity of regulated firms and requiring greater regulatory cooperation and coordination among financial regulators; and

Aligning regulations to support market liquidity, investment, and lending in the U.S. economy.

Creating a regulatory landscape that better supports nonbank financial institutions, embraces financial technology and fosters innovation.
The scope and breadth of regulatory changes thatbelieve there will be implemented in response toan increased focus on regulatory compliance, supervision and examination during the President’s executive order continue to be determined.remainder of President Biden’s term of office.



In 2018, President Trump signed the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act which repeals or modifies certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and eases regulations on all but the largest banks. Highlights from this legislation include, among other things: (i) creating a new category of "qualified mortgages" presumed to satisfy ability-to-repay requirements for loans that meet certain criteria and are held in portfolio by banks with less than $10 billion in assets from the ability-to-repay requirements for certain qualified residential mortgage loans held in portfolio; (ii) not require appraisals for certain transactions valued at less than $400,000 in rural areas; (iii) clarify that, subject to various conditions, reciprocal deposits of another depository institution obtained using a deposit broker through a deposit placement network for purposes of obtaining maximum deposit insurance would not be considered brokered deposits subject to the FDIC's brokered-deposit regulations; and (iv) simplify capital calculations by requiring regulators to establish for institutions under $10 billion in assets a community bank leverage ratio (tangible equity to average consolidated assets) at a percentage not less than 8% and not greater than 10% that such institutions may elect to replace the general applicable risk-based capital requirements for determining well-capitalized status (discussed in further detail below).

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Bank holding companies and banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. The Basel III Capital Rule, which initially became effective on January 1, 2015, havehas now been fully phased in. The risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks require capital ratios that vary based on the perceived degree of risk associated with a banking organization's operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, such as loans, and those recorded as off-balance sheet items, such as commitments, letters of credit and recourse arrangements. The risk-based capital ratio is determined by classifying assets and certain off-balance sheet financial instruments into weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for those categories perceived as representing greater risks
7


and dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. Bank holding companies and banks engaged in significant trading activity may also be subject to the market risk capital guidelines and be required to incorporate additional market and interest rate risk components into their risk-based capital standards.

The Federal Reserve monitors our capital adequacy on a consolidated basis, and the FDIC and the DFI monitor the capital adequacy of our bank. The Company and the bank are required to maintain minimum risk-based and leverage capital ratios, as well as a Capital Conservation Buffer, pursuant to the Basel III Capital Rule.

Regulatory Capital and Risk-weighted Assets

The Federal Reserve monitors our capital adequacy on a consolidated basis, and the FDIC and the DFI monitor the capital adequacy of our bank. These rules implement the Basel III international regulatory capital standards in the United States, as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. These quantitative calculations are minimums, and the Federal Reserve, FDIC or DFI may determine that a banking organization, based on its size, complexity or risk profile, must maintain a higher level of capital in order to operate in a safe and sound manner.

Under the Basel III Capital Rule, the Company's and the bank's assets, exposures and certain off-balance sheet items are subject to risk weights used to determine the institutions' risk-weighted assets. These risk-weighted assets are used to calculate the following minimum capital ratios for the Company and the bank:

Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, equal to the ratio of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets (net of goodwill, certain other intangible assets and certain other deductions).

Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") Risk-Based Capital Ratio, equal to the ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets. CET1 capital primarily includes common stockholders' equity subject to certain regulatory adjustments and deductions, including with respect to goodwill, intangible assets and certain deferred tax assets. Certain of these adjustments and deductions were subject to phase-in periods that began on January 1, 2015 and ended on January 1, 2018. The last phase of the Basel III Capital Rule's transition provisions relating to capital deductions for mortgage servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets and investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions, and the recognition of minority interests in regulatory capital was delayed for certain bank holding companies and banks, including us and the bank, but a revised rule was finalized in July 2019 that will be effective in April 2020. Hybrid securities, such as trust preferred securities, generally are excluded from being counted as Tier 1 capital. However, for bank holding companies like us that have less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets, certain trust preferred securities were grandfathered in as a component of Tier 1 capital. In addition, because we are a not an advanced approach banking organization, we were permitted to make a one-time permanent election to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income items from regulatory capital.

Tier 2 capital primarily includes qualifying subordinated debt and qualifying ALLL. Tier 2 capital also includes, among other things, certain trust preferred securities.

The total minimum regulatory capital ratios and well-capitalized minimum ratios are reflected in the charts below. The Federal Reserve has not yet revised the well-capitalized standard for bank holding companies to reflect the higher capital requirements imposed under the Basel III Capital Rule. For purposes of the Federal Reserve's Regulation Y, including determining whether a bank holding company meets the requirements to be a financial holding company, bank holding companies, such as the Company, must maintain a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 6.0% or greater and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.0% or greater. If the Federal Reserve were to apply the same or a very similar well-capitalized standard to bank holding companies as that applicable to the bank, the Company's capital ratios as of December 31, 20192022 would exceed such revised well-capitalized standard. The Federal Reserve may require bank holding companies, including the Company, to maintain capital ratios substantially in excess of mandated minimum levels, depending upon general economic conditions and a bank holding company's particular condition, risk profile and growth plans.

Failure to be well-capitalized or to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have an adverse material effect on our operations or financial condition. Failure to be well-capitalized or to meet minimum capital requirements could also result in restrictions on the Company's or the bank's ability to pay dividends or otherwise distribute capital or to receive regulatory approval of applications.

In addition to meeting the minimum capital requirements, under the Basel III Capital Rule, the Company and the bank must also maintain the required Capital Conservation Buffer to avoid becoming subject to restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management. The Capital Conservation Buffer is calculated as a ratio of CET1 capital
8


to risk-weighted assets, and it effectively increases the required minimum risk-based capital ratios. The Capital Conservation Buffer requirement was phased in over a three-year period that began on January 1, 2016. The phase-in period ended on January 1, 2019, and the Capital Conservation Buffer is now at its fully phased-in level of 2.5%.

The Tier 1 Leverage Ratio is not impacted by the Capital Conservation Buffer, and a banking institution may be considered well-capitalized while remaining out of compliance with the Capital Conservation Buffer.

The table below summarizes the capital requirements that the Company and the bank must satisfy to avoid limitations on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments (i.e., the required minimum capital ratios plus the Capital Conservation Buffer):

Minimum Basel III Regulatory Capital Ratio
Plus Capital Conservation Buffer
CET1 risk-based capital ratio7.0%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio8.5%
Total risk-based capital ratio10.5%

As of December 31, 2019,2022, the Company and the bank are well-capitalized for regulatory purposes. For a tabular presentation of the Company’s and the bank’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2019,2022, see Note 2725 - Parent Company and Regulatory Restrictions to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."Data".

If the Company were to cross the $10 billion or more asset threshold, its compliance costs and regulatory requirements, would increase.

In September 2019, the FDIC finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio ("CBLR") framework), as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the


15 requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9 percent, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. The CBLR framework will be available for banks to use in their March 31, 2020, Call Report. We have determined that we will opt out of the CBLR framework as it was currently deemed not in the Company and the bank's best interest. The FDIC also finalized a rule that permits non-advanced approaches banking organizations to use the simpler regulatory capital requirements for mortgage-servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, and minority interest when measuring their tier 1 capital as of January 1, 2020. Banking organizations may use this new measure of tier 1 capital under the CBLR framework.

In December 2017, the Basel Committee published standards that it described as the finalization of the Basel III post-crisis regulatory reforms (the standards are commonly referred to as “Basel IV”). Among other things, these standards revise the Basel Committee's standardized approach for credit risk (including by recalibrating risk weights and introducing new capital requirements for certain “unconditionally cancellable commitments,” such as unused credit card lines of credit) and provides a new standardized approach for operational risk capital. Under the Basel framework, as amended, these standards will generally be effective on January 1, 2022,2023, with an aggregate output floor phasing in through January 1, 2027.2028. Under the current U.S. capital rules, operational risk capital requirements and a capital floor apply only to advanced approaches institutions, and not to the Company and the bank. The impact of Basel IV on us will depend on the manner in which it is implemented by the federal bank regulators.

Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires the federal bank regulatory agencies to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to a depository institution if that institution does not meet certain capital adequacy standards, including requiring the prompt submission of an acceptable capital restoration plan. Depending on the bank's capital ratios, the agencies' regulations define five categories in which an insured depository institution will be placed: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,under-capitalized, significantly undercapitalized,under-capitalized, and critically undercapitalized.under-capitalized. At each successive lower capital category, an insured bank is subject to more restrictions, including restrictions on the bank's activities, operational practices or the ability to pay dividends or executive bonuses. Based upon its capital levels, a bank that is classified as well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalizedunder-capitalized may be treated as though it were in the next lower capital category if the appropriate federal banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines that an unsafe or unsound condition, or an unsafe or unsound practice, warrants such treatment.

The prompt corrective action standards were also changed as the Basel III Capital Rule ratios became effective. Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the bank will be required to meet the new common equity Tier 1 ratio of 6.5%, an increased Tier 1 ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged).

The federal banking agencies also may require banks and bank holding companies subject to enforcement actions to maintain capital ratios in excess of the minimum ratios otherwise required to be deemed well capitalized, in which case institutions may no longer be deemed to be well capitalized and may therefore be subject to certain restrictions on items such as brokered deposits.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law on March 27, 2020 to provide national emergency economic relief measures. Many of the CARES Act’s programs are dependent upon the direct involvement of U.S. financial institutions, such as the Company and the bank, and have been implemented through rules and guidance adopted by federal departments and agencies, including the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Federal Reserve and other federal banking agencies, including those with direct supervisory jurisdiction over the Company and the bank. Furthermore, as the on-going COVID-19 pandemic evolves, federal regulatory authorities continue to issue additional guidance with respect to the implementation, lifecycle, and eligibility requirements for the various CARES Act programs as well as industry-specific recovery procedures for COVID-19.

On December 21, 2020, Congress passed a $900 billion aid package, or the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which extended certain relief provisions under the March 2020 CARES Act, provided additional funds for the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and extended the time of the PPP to March 31, 2021. This legislation also permitted second PPP loans to certain entities which are subject to forgiveness subject to meeting certain required criteria. It is possible that Congress will enact supplementary COVID-19 response legislation, including amendments to the CARES Act or new bills comparable in scope to the CARES Act. The Company continues to assess the impact of the CARES Act and other statues, regulations and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paycheck Protection Program. The CARES Act amended the SBA’s loan program, in which the bank participates, to create a guaranteed, unsecured loan program, the PPP, to fund operational costs of eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons during COVID-19. In June 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was enacted, which among other things, gave borrowers additional time and flexibility to use PPP loan proceeds. The bank issued approximately $879.8 million in aggregate loans under the PPP in the two years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, of which approximately $877.1 million had been forgiven or repaid by December 31, 2022.

Troubled Debt Restructuring and Loan Modifications for Affected Borrowers. The CARES Act permitted banks to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise have been characterized as TDRs and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the loan modification is made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration and (ii) the applicable loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The federal banking agencies also issued guidance to encourage banks to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 and to assure banks that they will not be criticized by examiners for doing so. Set to expire on December 31, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law and extended this relief to the earlier of 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration or January 1, 2022. This relief ended on January 1, 2022. The Company applied the guidance to qualifying loan modifications which reduced the number of TDRs that were reported.

Federal Reserve Programs and Other Recent Initiatives Related to COVID-19

Main Street Lending Program. The CARES Act encouraged the Federal Reserve, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, to establish or implement various programs to help midsize businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities. On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve proposed the creation of the Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”) to implement certain of these recommendations. On June 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston opened the MSLP for lender registration. The MSLP supports lending to small and medium-sized businesses that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The MSLP operates through five facilities: the Main Street New Loan Facility, the Main Street Priority Loan Facility, the Main Street Expanded Loan Facility, the Nonprofit Organization New Loan Facility, and the Nonprofit Organization Expanded Loan Facility. The bank was a registered lender but did not originate any of these loans. The MSLP terminated on January 18, 2021. The bank continues to monitor developments related thereto.

Temporary Regulatory Capital Relief related to Impact of Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"). Concurrent with enactment of the CARES Act, federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that delays the estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL. The interim final rule provides banking organizations that implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. The federal banking agencies have since issued a final rule that makes certain technical changes to the interim final rule. The changes in the final rule apply only to those banking organizations that elect the CECL transition relief provided under the rule. The Company elected this option.

Volcker Rule

In December 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted final rules that implement a part of the Dodd-Frank Act commonly referred to as the "Volcker Rule." Under these rules and subject to certain exceptions, banking entities are restricted from engaging in activities that are considered proprietary trading and from sponsoring or investing in certain entities, including hedge or private equity funds that are considered "covered funds." Notwithstanding these provisions, in July 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies finalized a rule which provides that community banks with $10 billion or less in total consolidated assets and total trading assets and liabilities of 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets, such as the bank, are excluded from the Volcker Rule.


Brokered Deposits

The FDIC limits the ability to accept brokered deposits to those insured depository institutions that are well-capitalized. Institutions that are less than well capitalized cannot accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless they have applied for and been granted a waiver by the FDIC. As of December 31, 2022, the bank did not have any deposit liabilities categorized as brokered deposits.

Bank Holding Company Regulation

As contained in both federal and state banking laws and regulations, a wide range of requirements and restrictions apply to bank holding companies and their subsidiaries which:

require regular periodic reports and such additional reports of information as the Federal Reserve may require;

require bank holding companies to meet or exceed minimum capital requirements (see the "Capital Adequacy Requirements" section above and the "Capital Resources" section in the MD&A);

require that bank holding companies serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to subsidiary banks and commit resources as necessary to support each subsidiary bank. The source-of-strength doctrine most directly affects bank holding companies where a bank holding company's subsidiary bank fails to maintain adequate capital levels. In such a situation, the subsidiary bank will be required by the bank's federal regulator to take "prompt corrective action" (see the "Prompt Corrective Action Provisions" section above);

limit dividends payable to shareholders and restrict the ability of bank holding companies to obtain dividends or other distributions from their subsidiary banks;

require a bank holding company to terminate an activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries, affiliates or investments if the Federal Reserve believes the activity or the control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary;

require the prior approval for changes in senior executive officers or directors and prohibit golden parachute payments, including change in control agreements, or new employment agreements with such payment terms, which are contingent upon termination when a bank holding company is deemed to be in troubled condition;

regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt, including the authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt and require prior approval to purchase or redeem securities in certain situations;

require prior approval for the acquisition of 5% or more of the voting stock of a bank or bank holding company by bank holding companies or other acquisitions and mergers with other banks or bank holding companies and require the regulators to consider certain competitive, management, financial, and anti-money laundering compliance impact on the U.S.; and

require prior notice and/or prior approval of the acquisition of control of a bank or a bank holding company by a shareholder or individuals acting in concert with ownership or control of 10% of the voting stock being a presumption of control.

11


Change in Bank Control

Federal law and regulation set forth the types of transactions that require prior notice under the Change in Bank Control Act (“CIBCA”). Pursuant to CIBCA and Regulation Y, any person (acting directly or indirectly) that seeks to acquire control of a bank or its holding company must provide prior notice to the Federal Reserve. A “person” includes an individual, bank, corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization, or any other form of entity. A person acquires "control" of a banking organization whenever the person acquires ownership, control, or the power to vote 25 percent or more of any class of voting securities of the institution. The applicable regulations also provide for certain other "rebuttable" presumptions of control. In April 2020, the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule to revise its regulations related to determinations of whether a company has the ability to exercise a controlling influence over another company for purposes of the BHCA. The final rule expands and codifies the presumptions for use in such determinations. By codifying the presumptions, the final rule provides greater transparency on the types of relationships that the Federal Reserve generally views as supporting a facts and circumstances determination that one company controls another company. The Federal Reserve’s final rule applies to questions of control under the BHCA, but does not extend to CIBCA or applicable provisions of Hawaii law.

Other Restrictions on the Company's Activities

Subject to prior notice or Federal Reserve approval, bank holding companies may generally engage in, or acquire shares of companies engaged in, activities determined by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Bank holding companies that elect and retain "financial holding company" status pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 ("GLBA") may engage in these non-banking activities and broader securities, insurance, merchant banking and other activities that are determined to be "financial in nature" or are incidental or complementary to activities that are financial in nature without prior Federal Reserve approval. Pursuant to the GLBA and the Dodd-Frank Act, in order to elect and retain financial holding company status, a bank holding company and all depository institution subsidiaries of that bank holding company must be well capitalized and well managed, and, except in limited circumstances, depository subsidiaries must be in satisfactory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), which requires banks to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate. Failure to sustain compliance with these requirements or correct any non-compliance within a fixed time period could lead to the required divestiture of subsidiary banks or the termination of all activities that do not conform to those permissible for a bank holding company. The Company has not elected financial holding company status and neither the Company nor the bank has engaged in any activities determined by the Federal Reserve to be non-banking and financial in nature or incidental or complementary to activities that are financial in nature.


Dividends

It is the Federal Reserve's policy that bank holding companies should generally pay dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year, and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization's expected future needs and financial condition. It is also the Federal Reserve's policy that bank holding companies should not maintain dividend levels that undermine their ability to be a source of strength to their banking subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve has also discouraged payment ratios that are at maximum allowable levels unless both asset quality and capital are very strong. The Company is also subject to restrictions on dividends under applicable Hawaii law. There can be no assurance of the amount of dividends that the Company will pay to its shareholders in the future or that the Company will continue to pay dividends to shareholders at all.

The bank is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its holding company. CPF is dependent on the performance of the bank for funds which may be received as dividends from the bank for use in the operation of CPF and the ability of CPF to pay dividends to shareholders. Subject to regulatory and statutory restrictions, including restrictions under applicable Hawaii law and federal regulation, future cash dividends by the bank will depend upon management's assessment of future capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Regulation of the Bank

As a Hawaii state-chartered bank whose deposits are insured by the FDIC, the bank is subject to regulation, supervision, and regular examination by the DFI, and by the FDIC, as a state nonmember bank, as the bank's primary Federal regulator. Specific federal and state laws and regulations which are applicable to banks regulate, among other things, the scope of their business, their investments, their reserves against deposits, the timing of the availability of deposited funds, their activities relating to dividends, investments, loans, the nature and amount of collateral for certain loans, servicing and foreclosing on loans, transactions with affiliates,
12


officers, directors and other insiders, borrowings, capital requirements, certain check-clearing activities, branching, and mergers and acquisitions.

FDIC and DFI Enforcement Authority

The federal and Hawaii regulatory structure gives the bank regulatory agencies extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. The regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines to assist in identifying and addressing potential safety and soundness concerns before an institution's capital becomes impaired. The guidelines establish operational and managerial standards generally relating to: (1) internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems; (2) loan documentation; (3) credit underwriting; (4) interest-rate exposure; (5) asset growth and asset quality; and (6) compensation, fees, and benefits. Further, the regulatory agencies have adopted safety and soundness guidelines for asset quality and for evaluating and monitoring earnings to ensure that earnings are sufficient for the maintenance of adequate capital and reserves. If, as a result of an examination, the DFI or the FDIC should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity, market sensitivity, or other aspects of the bank's operations are unsatisfactory or that the bank or its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, the DFI and the FDIC, and separately the FDIC as insurer of the bank's deposits, have residual authority to:

require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice;

direct an increase in capital and the maintenance of higher specific minimum capital ratios, which may preclude the bank from being deemed well capitalized and restrict its ability to accept certain brokered deposits;

restrict the bank's growth geographically, by products and services, or by mergers and acquisitions, including bidding in FDIC receiverships for failed banks;

enter into or issue informal or formal enforcement actions, including required Board resolutions, memoranda of understanding, written agreements and consent or cease and desist orders or prompt corrective action orders to take corrective action and cease unsafe and unsound practices;

require prior approval of senior executive officer or director changes; remove officers and directors and assess civil monetary penalties; and

terminate FDIC insurance, revoke the charter and/or take possession of and close and liquidate the bank or appoint the FDIC as receiver, which for a Hawaii state-chartered bank would result in a revocation of its charter.


Mergers and Acquisitions

On July 9, 2021, President Biden signed an “Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy”. Included within the order is a sweeping recommendation that the Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of the FRB, FDIC and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") review current practices and adopt a plan within 180 days for the “revitalization” of bank merger oversight to provide more extensive scrutiny of mergers. In 2021 and 2022, various bank regulatory agencies have sought public comments and requested additional information regarding laws, regulations and policies regarding merger transactions involving financial institutions. We will continue to evaluate the impact of any changes to the regulations related to implementing this executive order and their impact to our financial condition, results of operations, and/or business strategies, which cannot be predicted at this time.

Deposit Insurance

The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures deposits through the Deposit Insurance Fund (the "DIF") up to prescribed statutory limits of federally insured banks and savings institutions and safeguards the safety and soundness of the banking and savings industries. The Dodd-Frank Act revised the FDIC's DIF management authority by setting requirements for the Designated Reserve Ratio (the "DRR", calculated as the DIF balance divided by estimated insured deposits) and redefining the assessment base which is used to calculate banks' quarterly assessments. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by each DIF member institution is based on its asset size and its relative risk of default as measured by regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory factors. We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance. On September 30, 2018,The FDIC has set the DRR reached 1.36%at 2.00%. BecauseIn October 2022, in order to increase the likelihood that the reserve ratio has exceeded 1.35%, two deposit insurance assessment changes occurred under the FDIC regulations: 1) Surcharges on large banks (total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more) ended; the last surcharge on large banks was collected on December 28, 2018. and 2) Small banks (total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion) were awarded assessment credits for the portion of their assessments that contributedwould be restored to the growth in the reserve ratio from 1.15% to 1.35%. Credits will be applied until exhausted when the reserve ratio is at least 1.35%. The reserve ratio reached 1.40% and 1.41% on June 30, 2019 and by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2019, respectively. Therefore, credits were applied on2029, the September 30, 2019FDIC increased the initial base deposit insurance

If there are additional bank or financial institution failures or if the FDIC otherwise determines or if our asset size or risk of default increases, we may be required to pay higher FDIC premiums. Any future increases in FDIC insurance premiums may have a material and adverse effect on our earnings and could have a material adverse effect on the value of, or market for, our common stock.

Incentive Compensation

TheUnder regulatory guidance applicable to all banking organizations, incentive compensation policies must be consistent with safety and soundness principles. Under this guidance, financial institutions must review their compensation programs to ensure that they: (i) provide employees with incentives that appropriately balance risk and reward and that do not encourage imprudent risk, (ii) are compatible with effective controls and risk management, and (iii) are supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the banking organization’s board of directors. Monitoring methods and processes used by a banking organization should be commensurate with the size and complexity of the organization and its use of incentive compensation. During 2016, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the federal bank regulatorsregulatory agencies and the SEC to establish joint regulations or guidelines prohibitingproposed revised rules on incentive-based payment arrangements at specified regulated entities including the Company and the bank, having at least $1 billion inof total assets that encourage inappropriate risks by providing an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder with excessive compensation, fees or benefits or that could lead to material financial loss toassets. These proposed rules have not been finalized. In October 2022, the entity.

The proposal would also impose certain governance and record-keeping requirements on institutions of the Company’s and the bank’s size. The regulatory organizations would reserve the authority to impose more stringent requirements on institutions of the Company’s and the bank’s size.November 28, 2023.

Cybersecurity

Federal regulators have issued multiple statements regarding cybersecurity stating that financial institutions need to design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and to ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. In addition, a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. In November 2021, the federal banking agencies adopted a final rule, with compliance required by May 1, 2022, that requires banking organizations to notify their primary banking regulator within 36 hours of determining that a “computer-security incident” has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, the banking organization’s ability to carry out banking operations or deliver banking products and services to a material portion of its customer base, its businesses and operations that would result in material loss, or its operations that would impact the stability of the United States. If we fail to observe the regulatory guidance, we could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.

State regulators have also been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations, including California which adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act in 2018 and New York which adopted the Shield Act
in 2019. Recently, severalYork. Other states have adopted regulations requiring certain financial institutions to implement cybersecurity programs and providing detailed requirements with respect to these programs, including data encryption requirements. Many states have also recently implemented or modified their data breach notification and data privacy requirements. We expect this trend of state-level activity in those areas to continue, and are continually monitoring developments in the states in which our customers are located in or in which we conduct business.



In the ordinary course of business, we rely on electronic communications and information systems to conduct our operations and to store sensitive data. We employ an in-depth, layered, defensive approach that leverages people, processes and technology to manage and maintain cybersecurity controls. We employ a variety of preventative and detective tools to monitor, block, and provide alerts regarding suspicious activity, as well as to report on any suspected advanced persistent threats. Notwithstanding the strength of our defensive measures, the threat from cyber-attacks is severe, attacks are sophisticated and increasing in volume, and attackers respond rapidly to changes in defensive measures. While to date we have not detected a significant compromise, significant data loss or any material financial losses related to cybersecurity attacks, our systems and those of our customers and third-party service providers are under constant threat and it is possible that we could experience a significant event in the future. Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of Internetinternet banking,

mobile banking and other technology-based products and services by us and our customers. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for a further discussion of risks related to cybersecurity.

Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") Regulation

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries and regimes, under authority of various laws, including designated foreign countries, nationals and others. OFAC publishes lists of specially designated targets and countries. We are responsible for, among other things, blocking accounts of, and transactions with, such targets and countries, prohibiting unlicensed trade and financial transactions with them and reporting blocked transactions after their occurrence. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious financial, legal and reputational consequences, including causing applicable bank regulatory authorities not to approve merger or acquisition transactions when regulatory approval is required or to prohibit such transactions even if approval is not required. Regulatory authorities have imposed cease and desist orders and civil money penalties against institutions found to be violating these obligations.

Operations and Consumer Compliance Laws

The bank must comply with numerous federal and state anti-money laundering and consumer protection and privacy statutes and implementing regulations, including the USA Patriot Act of 2001, GLBA, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the CRA, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the National Flood Insurance Act, and various federal and state privacy protection laws, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the CAN-SPAM Act. Noncompliance with these laws could subject the bank to lawsuits and could also result in administrative penalties, including, fines and reimbursements. CPFThe Company and the bank are also subject to federal and state laws prohibiting unfair or fraudulent business practices, untrue or misleading advertising and unfair competition.

These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure and reporting requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits, making loans, servicing, collecting, and foreclosure offoreclosing on loans, and providing other services. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can subject the bank to various penalties, including but not limited to enforcement actions, injunctions, fines or criminal penalties, punitive damages, and the loss of certain contractual rights.

The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 ("AMLA"), which amends the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (“BSA”), was enacted in January 2021. The AMLA is intended to be a comprehensive reform and modernization to U.S. bank secrecy and anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, it codifies a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering compliance for financial institutions; requires the development of standards for evaluating technology and internal processes for BSA compliance; expands enforcement- and investigation-related authority, including increasing available sanctions for certain BSA violations and instituting BSA whistleblower incentives and protections.

The CRA is intended to encourage insured depository institutions, while operating safely and soundly, to help meet the credit needs of their communities. The CRA specifically directs the federal bank regulatory agencies, in examining insured depository institutions, to assess their record of helping to meet the credit needs of their entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The CRA further requires the agencies to take a financial institution’s record of meeting its community credit needs into account when evaluating applications for, among other things, domestic branches, consummating mergers or acquisitions or holding company formations. In May, 2022, the FDIC, the FRB and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") jointly proposed rules that would significantly change existing CRA regulations. The proposed rules are intended to increase bank activity in low- and moderate-income communities where there is significant need for credit, more responsible lending, greater access to banking services, and improvements to critical infrastructure. The proposals are intended to modernize and strengthen the rules that implement the CRA by (i) expanding access to credit, investment and basic banking services in the low- and moderate-income ("LMI") communities; (ii) adapting to changes in the banking industry, including mobile and internet banking by modernizing assessment areas while maintaining a focus on branch-based areas; (iii) providing greater clarity, consistency and transparency in the application of the regulations through the use of standardized metrics as part of CRA evaluation and clarifying eligible CRA activities focused on LMI communities and under-served rural communities; (iv) tailoring CRA rules and data collection to bank size and business model; and (v) maintaining a unified approach among the regulators. In particular, the proposed rules would generally apply four tests for banks over $2 billion in assets, including our Bank: a retail lending test; a retail services and products test; a community development financing test and a community development services test. We will continue to evaluate the impact of any changes to the regulations implementing the CRA and their impact to our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity,

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB")

The Dodd-Frank Act provided for the creation of the CFPB as an independent entity with broad rulemaking,rule making, supervisory and enforcement authority over consumer financial products and services, including deposit products, residential mortgages, home equity loans and credit cards. The CFPB’s functions include investigating consumer complaints, conducting market research, rulemaking,rule making, and enforcing rules related to consumer financial products and services. CFPB regulations and guidance, including supervision and examination, apply to all covered persons, and banks with $10 billion or more in assets are subject to supervision including examination by the CFPB.assets. Banks with less than $10 billion in assets, including the bank, will continue to be examined for compliance by their primary federal banking agency.

The CFPB has finalized a number of significant rules which impact nearly every aspect of the lifecycle of a residential mortgage loan. These rules implement the Dodd-Frank Act amendments to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Among other things, the rules adopted by the CFPB require


covered persons including banks making residential mortgage loans to: (i) develop and implement procedures to ensure compliance with an "ability-to-repay" test and identify whether a loan meets a new definition for a "qualified mortgage", in which case a rebuttable presumption exists that the creditor extending the loan has satisfied the ability-to-repay test; (ii) implement new or revised disclosures, policies and procedures for originating and servicing mortgages including, but not limited to, pre-loan counseling, early intervention with delinquent borrowers and specific loss mitigation procedures for loans secured by a borrower's principal residence; (iii) comply with additional restrictions on mortgage loan originator hiring and compensation; (iv) comply with new disclosure requirements and standards for appraisals and certain financial products; and (v) maintain escrow accounts for higher-priced mortgage loans for a longer period of time.

The review of products and practices to prevent unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices ("UDAAP") has been a focus of the CFPB, and of banking regulators more broadly. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act provides the CFPB with broad supervisory, examination and enforcement authority over various consumer financial products and services, including the ability to require reimbursements and other payments to customers for alleged violations of UDAAP and other legal requirements andUDAAP. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides the CFPB the ability to impose significant penalties, as well as injunctive relief that prohibits lenders from engaging in allegedly unlawful practices. The CFPB also has the authority to obtain cease and desist orders providing for affirmative relief or monetary penalties. The Dodd-Frank Act does not prevent states from adopting stricter consumer protection standards. State regulation of financial products and potential enforcement actions could also adversely affect the bank’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The federal bank regulators have adopted rules limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to unaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliatednon-affiliated third party. These regulations affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. In addition, consumers may also prevent disclosure of certain information among affiliated companies that is assembled or used to determine eligibility for a product or service, such as that shown on consumer credit reports and asset and income information from applications. Consumers also have the option to direct banks and other financial institutions not to share information about transactions and experiences with affiliated companies for the purpose of marketing products or services.

Under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve adopted rules establishing standards for assessing whether the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to certain electronic debit transactions are “reasonable and proportional” to the costs incurred by issuers for processing such transactions.

Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Under the final rules, the maximum permissible interchange fee is equal to no more than 21 cents plus 5 basis points of the transaction value for many types of debit interchange transactions. The Federal Reserve also adopted a rule to allow a debit card issuer to recover one cent per transaction for fraud prevention purposes if the issuer complies with certain fraud-related requirements required by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve also has rules governing routing and exclusivity that require issuers to offer two unaffiliated networks for routing transactions on each debit or prepaid product.

16


Currently, we qualify for the small issuer exemption from the interchange fee cap, which applies to any debit card issuer that, together with its affiliates, has total assets of less than $10 billion as of the end of the previous calendar year. We will become subject to the interchange fee cap beginning July 1 of the year following the time when our total assets reaches or exceeds $10 billion. Reliance on the small issuer exemption does not exempt us from federal regulations prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements or from routing restrictions.

Commercial Real Estate Concentration Limits

In December 2006, the federal banking regulators issued guidance entitled “Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices” to address increased concentrations in commercial real estate and construction, or "CRE", loans. In addition, in December 2015, the federal bank agencies issued additional guidance entitled “Statement on Prudent Risk Management for Commercial Real Estate Lending.” Together, these guidelines describe the criteria the agencies will use as indicators to identify institutions potentially exposed to CRE concentration risk. An institution that has (i) experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, (ii) notable exposure to a specific type of CRE, (iii) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land representing 100% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital, or (iv) total CRE loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital, and the outstanding balance of the institutions CRE portfolio has increased by 50% or more in the prior 36 months, may be identified for further supervisory analysis of the level and nature of its CRE concentration risk. As of December 31, 2019,2022, the bank’s construction, land development, and other land andloans represented less than 100% of its total risk-based capital. As of December 31, 2022, the bank's total CRE loans represented 18.1% and 230.7%less than 300% of its total risk-based capital respectively.and has increased by less than 50% from the prior 36 months.



Future Legislation and Regulation

Congress may enact, modify or repeal legislation from time to time that affects the regulation of the financial services industry, and state legislatures may enact, modify or repeal legislation from time to time affecting the regulation of financial institutions chartered by or operating in those states. Federal and state regulatory agencies also periodically propose and adopt changes to their regulations or change the manner in which existing regulations are applied. The substance or impact of pending or future legislation or regulation, or the application thereof, cannot be predicted, although enactment of proposed legislation (or modification or repeal of existing legislation) could impact the regulatory structure under which the Company and bank operate and may significantly increase its costs, impede the efficiency of its internal business processes, require the bank to increase its regulatory capital and modify its business strategy, and limit its ability to pursue business opportunities in an efficient manner. Under these circumstances, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects may be adversely affected, perhaps materially.

Employees and Human Capital

We believe that the success of our business is largely due to the quality of our employees, the development of each employee's full potential, and our ability to provide timely and satisfying rewards to our employees. At December 31, 2019,2022, we employed 854781 persons, 789735 on a full-time basis and 6546 on a part-time basis. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. At December 31, 2022, our workforce was over 90% ethnically diverse (non-Caucasian or two or more races) and 66% female, with 57% of all management staff having a supervisory role being female.

We encourage and support the growth and development of our employees and, wherever possible, seek to fill positions by promotion and transfer from within the organization. Continual learning and career development are advanced through ongoing development conversations and annual performance reviews with employees, internally developed training programs, conferences, and other training events that employees are encouraged to attend in connection with their job duties. Additionally, we invest in continual learning and development through tuition reimbursement for courses, degree programs and fees paid for certifications. A cohort of two to three high potential employees are sent to the Pacific Coast Banking School annually. Our CPB Toastmasters helps participating employees gain public speaking, communication and leadership skills. Our CPB Women's Leadership Program provides opportunities for CPB's top 80 women leaders to develop leadership skills, build a support network and give back to the broader community through service projects.

The safety, health and wellness of our employees is a top priority. We are able to maintain employee safety while continuing successful operations despite events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. All employees are asked not to come to work when they experience signs or symptoms of illness. On an ongoing basis, we further promote the health and wellness of our employees by strongly encouraging work-life balance, offering flexible work schedules including hybrid and remote, keeping the employee portion of health care premiums to a minimum and sponsoring various wellness programs.

17


Employee retention helps us operate efficiently and achieve one of our business objectives, which is being an exceptional service provider. We believe our commitment to living out our core values, actively prioritizing concern for our employees’ well-being, supporting our employees’ career goals, offering a competitive compensation and benefits package that includes health insurance and retirement savings plans, aids in retention of our top-performing employees. In addition to base salary, our compensation program includes variable pay (e.g., commission, incentive, bonus) for all employees. Our variable pay programs are designed to motivate and reward high levels of individual performance that aligns with our corporate strategy and business plan, and contributes to CPB’s success. At December 31, 2022, the average employee has 9 years of service and 35% of our current staff had been with us for ten years or more.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Our business faces significant risks, including credit, market/liquidity, operational, legal/regulatory and strategic/reputation risks. The factors described below may not be the only risks we face and are not intended to serve as a comprehensive listing or be applicable only to the category of risk under which they are disclosed. The risks described below are generally applicable to more than one of the following categories of risks. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risk Factors Related to our BusinessEconomic Risks
Negative developments in the global and U.S. economies could have an adverse effect on us.
Our business and operations are sensitive to business and economic conditions globally and domestically. Adverse economic and business conditions in the U.S. generally, and in our market areas, in particular, could reduce our growth rate, affect our borrowers' ability to repay their loans and, consequently, adversely affect our financial condition and performance. Other economic conditions that affect our financial performance include short-term and long-term interest rates, the prevailing yield curve, inflation and price levels (particularly for real estate), monetary policy, unemployment and the strength of the domestic economy as a whole. Unfavorable market conditions can result in a deterioration in the credit quality of our borrowers and the demand for our products and services, an increase in the number of loan delinquencies, defaults and charge-offs, additional provisions for loan losses, adverse asset values and an overall material adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio. Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by declines in economic growth, business activity or investor or business confidence; limitations on the availability or increases in the cost of credit and capital; increases in inflation or interest rates; high unemployment; natural disasters; or a combination of these or other factors.

Difficult economic and market conditions in Hawaii would result in significant adverse effects on us because of the geographic concentration of our business.

Unlike larger national or other regional banks that are more geographically diversified, our business and operations are closely tied to the Hawaii market. The Hawaii economy relies on tourism, real estate, government and other service-based industries. Declines in tourism, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, increases in energy costs, the availability of affordable air transportation, adverse weather and natural disasters, and local budget issues impact consumer and corporate spending. As a result, such events may contribute to the deterioration in Hawaii's general economic condition, which could adversely impact us and our borrowers.

In addition, the high concentration of Hawaii real estate loans in our portfolio, combined with the deterioration in these sectors caused by an economic downturn, previously had and could have in the future a significantly more adverse impact on our operating results than many other banks across the nation. If our borrowers experience financial difficulty, or if property values securing our real estate loans decline, we will incur elevated credit costs due to the composition and concentration of our loan portfolio, which will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our real estate loan operations have a considerable effect on our results of operations.

The performance of our real estate loans depends on a number of factors, including the continued strength of the real estate markets in which we operate. As we have previously seen in the Hawaii and CaliforniaU.S. Mainland construction and real estate markets, the strength of the real estate market and the results of our operations could be negatively affected by an economic downturn.

In addition, declines in the market for commercial property could cause some of our borrowers to suffer losses on their projects, which would negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Declines in housing prices and the supply of existing houses for sale could cause residential developers who are our borrowers to suffer losses on their projects and encounter difficulty in repaying their loans. We cannot assure you that we will have an adequate allowance for loan and leasecredit losses to cover future losses. If we suffer greater losses than we are projecting, our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our ability to maintain adequate sources of funding and liquidity and required capital levels may be negatively impacted by uncertainty in the economic environment which may, among other things, impact our ability to satisfy our obligations.

Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of investments or loans, and other sources would have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity which could affect or limit our ability to satisfy our obligations and our ability to grow profitability at the same rate. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities on terms that are acceptable to us could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically, the financial services industry, or the economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include concerns regarding deterioration in our financial condition, increased regulatory actions against us and a decrease in the level of our business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our loans or deposits are concentrated. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial industry in light of the past turmoil faced by banking organizations and the credit markets. In addition, our financial flexibility could be constrained if we are unable to maintain our access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to accommodate future growth at acceptable interest rates, including in the current rising interest rate environment.

The management of liquidity risk is critical to the management of our business and our ability to service our customer base. In managing our balance sheet, our primary source of funding is customer deposits. Our ability to continue to attract these deposits
19


and other funding sources is subject to variability based upon a number of factors including volume and volatility in the securities' markets, our financial condition, our credit rating and the relative interest rates that we are prepared to pay for these liabilities. The availability and level of deposits and other funding sources is highly dependent upon the perception of the liquidity and creditworthiness of the financial institution, and perception can change quickly in response to market conditions or circumstances unique to a particular company. Concerns about our past and future financial condition or concerns about our credit exposure to other parties could adversely impact our sources of liquidity, financial position, including regulatory capital ratios, results of operations and our business prospects.

If our level of deposits were to materially decrease, we would need to raise additional funds by increasing the interest that we pay on certificates of deposits or other depository accounts, seek other debt or equity financing or draw upon our available lines of credit. We rely on commercial and retail deposits, and to a lesser extent, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve discount window, to fund our operations. Although we have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and advances as necessary, we might not be able to replace such funds in the future if, among other things, our results of operations or financial condition or the results of operations or financial condition of the FHLB were to change.

During 2020 and 2021, our level of deposits increased materially, which was largely driven by customer response to the pandemic including market instability and deposits of PPP funds and government assistance. During 2022, we experienced moderation in our core deposit balances, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment. We cannot assure you that the bank will continue to retain these deposits, particularly as market interest rates continue to increase.

Our line of credit with the FHLB serves as a primary outside source of liquidity. The Federal Reserve discount window also serves as an additional outside source of liquidity. Borrowings under this arrangement are through the Federal Reserve's primary facility under the borrower-in-custody program. The duration of borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window are generally for a very short period, usually overnight. In the event that these outside sources of liquidity become unavailable to us, we will need to seek additional sources of liquidity, including selling assets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell assets at a level to allow us to repay borrowings or meet our liquidity needs.

We constantly monitor our activities with respect to liquidity and evaluate closely our utilization of our cash assets; however, there can be no assurance that our liquidity or the cost of funds to us may not be materially and adversely impacted as a result of economic, market, or operational considerations that we may not be able to control.

The fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies of the federal government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The FRB regulates the supply of money and credit in the U.S. Its policies determine in large part the cost of funds for lending and investing and the return earned on those loans and investments, both of which affect the net interest margin. It also can materially decrease the value of financial assets we hold, such as debt securities.

Our net interest income and net interest margin may be negatively impacted during periods of rate tightening due to pressure on our funding costs, particularly if we are unable to realize higher rates on our assets at a pace that matches that of the funding. Changes in the slope of the yield curve, which represents the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates, could also reduce our net interest income and net interest margin. Historically, the yield curve is upward sloping, meaning short-term rates are lower than long-term rates. When the yield curve flattens or inverts, our net interest income and net interest margin could decrease as our cost of funds increases relative to the yield we can earn on our assets.

In a rising interest rate environment, as we are currently experiencing, there is potential for decreased demand for our loan products, an increase in our cost of funds, and the curtailment of economic recovery.

Changes in FRB policies and our regulatory environment are beyond our control, and we are unable to predict what changes may occur or the manner in which any future changes may affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Negative developments in the global and U.S. economies could have an adverse effect on us.

Our business and operations are sensitive to business and economic conditions globally and domestically. Adverse economic and business conditions in the U.S. generally, and in our market areas, in particular, could reduce our growth rate, affect our borrowers' ability to repay their loans and, consequently, adversely affect our financial condition and performance. Other economic conditions that affect our financial performance include short-term and long-term interest rates, the prevailing yield curve, inflation (which we are currently experiencing) and price levels (particularly for real estate), monetary policy,
20


unemployment and the strength of the domestic economy as a whole. Unfavorable market conditions can result in a deterioration in the credit quality of our borrowers and the demand for our products and services, an increase in the number of loan delinquencies, defaults and charge-offs, additional provisions for credit losses, adverse asset values and an overall material adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio. Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by declines in economic growth, business activity or investor or business confidence; limitations on the availability or increases in the cost of credit and capital; increases in inflation or interest rates; high unemployment; natural disasters; or a combination of these or other factors.

The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact the State of Hawaii and our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an extreme decline in tourism to the state of Hawaii in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, we experienced a rebound in tourism, but not to the full extent of pre-pandemic levels. Should economic conditions in the state of Hawaii deteriorate again due to actual or perceived increase in COVID-19 risk, including further spread and new variants, it can negatively impact our results of operations, including our net income. In addition, material adverse effects on our business may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on our investments, loans, mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets or counter-party risk derivatives. Further, there is potential that our business operations may be disrupted if our workforce is unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions. While the COVID-19 pandemic impact to our business has diminished in 2022, there is potential that it could continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our results of operations and our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios.

Credit Risks

A large percentage of our loans are collateralized by real estate and any deterioration in the real estate market may result in additional losses and adversely affect our financial results.

Our results of operations have been, and in future periods, will continue to be significantly impacted by the economy in Hawaii, and to a lesser extent, other markets we are exposed to including California. Approximately 74%76% of our loan portfolio as of


December 31, 20192022 was comprised of loans primarily collateralized by real estate, with the significant majority of these loans concentrated in Hawaii.

Deterioration of the economic environment in Hawaii, California or other markets we are exposed to, domestic or foreign, including a decline in the real estate market and single-family home resales or a material external shock, may significantly impair the value of our collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. In the event of a default with respect to any of these loans, amounts received upon sale of the collateral may be insufficient to recover outstanding principal and interest on the loan. As we have seen in the past, material declines in the value of the real estate assets securing many of our commercial real estate loans may lead to significant credit losses in this portfolio. As a result of our particularly high concentration of real estate loans, our portfolio had been and remains particularly susceptible to significant credit losses during economic downturns and adverse changes in the real estate market.

Our allowance for credit loss methodology resulted in a credit to our provision for credit losses but the credit provision may not continue.

In 2021 and 2022, we recorded a credit to the provision for credit losses. Although other factors of our overall risk profile have improved in recent years and general economic trends and market conditions have stabilized, concerns over the global and U.S. economies still remain. Accordingly, it is possible that the real estate markets we participate in could deteriorate as it did from the latter part of 2007 through 2010. If this occurs, it may result in an increase in loan delinquencies, loan charge-offs, and leaseour allowance for credit losses. Even if economic conditions improve or stay the same, it is possible that we may experience material credit losses and in turn, increases to our allowance for credit losses, due to any number of factors. If that were to occur, we may have to record a provision for credit losses which would have an adverse impact on our net income. Under typical stable portfolio and market conditions, we would generally record a provision for credit losses when there is growth in our loan portfolio.

Our allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loancredit losses, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Additional loancredit losses may occur in the future and may occur at a rate greater than we have experienced to date.

As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms and that the collateral or guarantees securing these loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. The underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures that we have adopted to address this risk may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We maintain an allowance for loan and leasecredit losses to provide for loan and lease defaults and non-performance, which also includes increases for new loan growth. While we believe
21


that our allowance for loan and leasecredit losses is appropriate to cover inherentexpected losses, we cannot assure you that we will not increase the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses further or that regulators will not require us to increase the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses which could have a material adverse effect on our net income and financial condition.

Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectibilitycollectability of our loan portfolio, which are regularly reevaluated and are based in part on:

current economic conditions and their estimated effects on specific borrowers;

an evaluation of the existing relationships among loans, potential loancredit losses and the present level of the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses;

results of examinations of our loan portfolios by regulatory agencies; and

management's internal review of the loan portfolio.

In determining the size of the allowance for loan and lease losses,credit loss, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of generala third-party economic conditions.forecast. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current allowance for loan and leasecredit losses may not be sufficient to cover the losses.

In addition, third parties, including our federal and state regulators, periodically evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for loan and leasecredit losses and may communicate with us concerning the methodology or judgments that we have raised in determining the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses. As a result of this input, we may be required to assign different grades to specific credits, increase our provision for loan and leasecredit losses, and/or recognize further loan charge offs which could have a material adverse effect on our net income and financial condition. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."



The implementation of CECL, including the design and maintenance of related internal controls over financial reporting, will require a significant amount of time and resources which may have a material impact on our results of operations, and we anticipate will require us to increase our allowance for credit losses.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") has adopted a new accounting standard that is effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2020. This standard, referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss, or ("CECL"), requires financial institutions to determine periodic estimates of lifetime expected credit losses on financial instruments, and recognize the expected credit losses as allowances for credit losses. This changes the current method of providing allowances for credit losses that are probable, which we anticipate will require us to increase our allowance for credit losses. Our CECL implementation initiative has increased the amount of data and assumptions we need to collect and review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. A significant amount of time and resources has been spent and will continue to be spent in order to implement CECL effectively, including the design and implementation of related adequate internal controls, which may adversely affect our results of operations. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting relating to CECL, our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately and on a timely basis could also be adversely affected.

Our RISE2020 initiative may not be successful.

During the second half of 2019 and throughout 2020, we intend to invest an aggregate of approximately $40 million to upgrade our branch spaces, digital banking platforms and ATM network through a new initiative we call RISE2020. RISE2020 is intended to enhance customer experience, drive stronger long-term growth and profitability, improve shareholder returns and lower our efficiency ratio. However, we cannot provide any assurance that RISE2020 will achieve any of our objectives or will achieve our objectives to the extent we have forecasted. In particular, the costs of RISE2020 may exceed our expectations; there may be timing delays as we execute our plans; we may not be able to attract new business from existing customers; new customers may not be attracted to our platform despite the amount of expense we incur; and implementation of RISE2020 initiatives may disrupt our operations. Additionally, given the number of key projects involved in our RISE2020 initiative, there is execution risk which may include vendors failing to perform or deliver as expected, issues with system conversions or integrations, lack of internal resource capacity, among other things. If our RISE2020 initiative is not successful, our overall noninterest expense will have increased without a corresponding increase in revenue and growth which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for our bank.

We are required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the bank. We may be required to commit additional resources to the bank at times when we may not be in a financial position to provide such resources or when it may not be in our, or our shareholders’ best interests to do so. Providing such support is more likely during times of financial stress for us and the bank, which may make any capital we are required to raise to provide such support more expensive than it might otherwise be. In addition, any capital loans we make to the bank are subordinate in right of payment to depositors and to certain other indebtedness of the bank.

Changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial results and condition.

Periodically the FASB and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. As a result of changes to financial accounting or reporting standards, whether promulgated or required by the FASB or other regulators, we could be required to change certain of the assumptions or estimates we have previously used in preparing our financial statements, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Our commercial, financial and agricultural loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios expose us to risks that may be greater than the risks related to our other loans.

Our loan portfolio includes commercial, financial and agricultural loans and commercial real estate loans, which are secured by commercial real estate, including but not limited to, structures and facilities to support activities designated as multi-family residential properties, industrial, warehouse, general office, retail, health care and religious dwellings. Commercial, financial and agricultural and commercial real estate loans carry more risk as compared to other types of lending, because they typically involve larger loan balances often concentrated with a single borrower or groups of related borrowers.



Accordingly, charge-offs on commercial, financial and agricultural and commercial real estate loans may be larger on a per loan basis than those incurred with our residential or consumer loan portfolios. In addition, these loans expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by residential real estate. The payment experience on commercial real estate loans that are secured by income producing properties are typically dependent on the successful operation of the related real estate projectproperty and thus, may subject us to adverse conditions in the real estate market or to the general economy. The collateral securing these loans typically cannot be liquidated as easily as residential real estate. If we foreclose on these loans, our holding period for the collateral typically is longer than residential properties because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral.

Unexpected deterioration in the credit quality of our commercial or commercial real estate loan portfolios would require us to increase our provision for loancredit losses, which would reduce our profitability and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, with respect to commercial real estate loans, federal and state banking regulators are examining commercial real estate lending activity with heightened scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement more stringent underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for credit losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposures. Because

We may incur future losses in connection with certain representations and warranties we have made with respect to mortgages that we have sold in the secondary market.

In connection with the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market, we make representations and warranties, which, if breached, may require us to repurchase such loans, substitute other loans or indemnify the purchasers of such loans for actual losses incurred in respect to such loans. A substantial decline in residential real estate values in the markets in which we
22


originated such loans could increase the risk of such consequences. While we currently believe our repurchase risk is low, it is possible that requests to repurchase loans could occur in the future and such requests may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Banking-as-a-Service ("BaaS") collaboration agreements may expose us to credit risk.

In connection with our collaboration with Swell Financial, Inc. ("Swell") and Elevate Credit, Inc. (“Elevate”), our bank has entered into an agreement with Swell in which Swell markets bank consumer checking and consumer line of credit (“LOC”) accounts using the Swell brand and Swell’s digital platform. A subsidiary of Elevate will be providing the underwriting model for the LOC accounts. There is a credit enhancement agreement in place between the Company and Elevate, in which a subsidiary of Elevate will cover losses on the LOC accounts up to a certain specified amount, and will provide cash collateral to the bank to secure payment of such losses. Further, Elevate is a partial guarantor of losses on the LOC accounts. While the bank believes the cash collateral on deposit at the bank from Elevate's subsidiary will be sufficient to cover any foreseeable losses on the LOC accounts, in the event the cash collateral amount is not adequately maintained or the cash collateral amount is insufficient to cover the losses on the LOC accounts, and Elevate, including its subsidiaries, does not or cannot otherwise meet its obligations under its agreement with the bank, including its obligation under the partial guaranty, the bank may incur losses on the LOC accounts. Losses associated with the LOC accounts (or the portfolios of other third parties with whom we enter into comparable BaaS relationships) in such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our net income, results of operations and financial condition.

Interest Rate and Liquidity Risks

Our business is subject to interest rate risk and fluctuations in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings.

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and subject to risk from changes in interest rates. Like most financial institutions, our earnings and profitability depend significantly on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience "gaps" in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities, meaning that either our interest-bearing liabilities will be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-earning assets, or vice versa. If market interest rates should move contrary to our position, this "gap" will work against us and our earnings may be negatively affected. In light of our current volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, our net interest margin could be expected to increase modestly during periods of rising interest rates, and to decline slightly during periods of falling interest rates. We are unable to predict or control fluctuations of market interest rates, which are affected by many factors, including the following:

inflation;

recession;

market conditions;

changes in unemployment;

the money supply;

international disorder and instability in domestic and foreign financial markets; and

governmental actions.

Our asset/liability management strategy may not be able to control our risk from changes in market interest rates and it may not be able to prevent changes in interest rates from having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. From time to time, we may reposition our assets and liabilities to reduce our net interest income volatility. Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

23


If we are unable to effectively manage the composition and risk of our investment securities portfolio, which we expect will continue to comprise a significant portion of our loanearning assets, our net interest income and net interest margin could be adversely affected.

Our primary sources of interest income include interest on loans, as well as interest earned on investment securities. Interest earned on investment securities represented 13.4% of our interest income in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 11.2% of our interest income in the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, effectively managing our investment securities portfolio to generate interest income while managing the composition and risks (including credit, interest rate and liquidity) associated with that portfolio, including the mix of government agency and non-agency securities, remains important. If we are unable to effectively manage our investment securities portfolio or if the interest income generated by our investment securities portfolio declines, our net interest income and net interest margin could be adversely affected.

We may be adversely impacted by the transition from LIBOR as a reference rate

In 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") announced that after 2021 it would no longer compel banks to submit the rates required to calculate the LIBOR. In March 2021, the FCA and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Administration (IBA) announced that the publication of the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings would be extended through June 30, 2023 and cease publishing other LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021.

In December 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2021 to provide a uniform, nationwide solution for so-called tough legacy contracts that do not have clear and practicable provisions for replacing LIBOR after June 30, 2023 and identified replacement benchmark rates based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") to replace LIBOR. It is comprised of commercial real estateexpected that the Company will not have any LIBOR-based contracts after June 30, 2023 and they will be replaced by SOFR benchmark rates.

We have loans, derivatives and debt with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR could create considerable costs and additional risk. Since proposed alternative rates are calculated differently, payments under contracts referencing new rates will differ from those referencing LIBOR. The transition may change our market risk profile, and require changes to risk and pricing models, valuation tools, product design and hedging strategies. Failure to adequately manage the banking regulators may require us to maintain higher levels of capital than we would otherwise be expected to maintain, whichtransition could limit our ability to leverage our capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.operations.

We rely on the mortgage secondary market for some of our liquidity.

We originate and sell mortgage loans. We rely on Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and other purchasers to purchase first mortgage loans in order to reduce our credit risk and interest rate risk and provide funding for additional loans we desire to originate. We cannot provide assurance that these purchasers will not materially limit their purchases from us due to capital constraints or other factors, including, with respect to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a change in the criteria for conforming loans. In addition, various proposals have been made to reform the U.S. residential mortgage finance market, including the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The exact effects of any such reforms are not yet known, but may limit our ability to sell conforming loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In addition, mortgage lending is highly regulated, and our inability to comply with all federal and state regulations and investor guidelines regarding the origination, underwriting, documentation and servicing of mortgage loans may also impact our ability to continue selling mortgage loans. If we are unable to continue to sell loans in the secondary market, our ability to fund, and thus originate, additional mortgage loans may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for our bank.

We are required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the bank. We may incur future lossesbe required to commit additional resources to the bank at times when we may not be in connection with certain representationsa financial position to provide such resources or when it may not be in our, or our shareholders’ best interests to do so. Providing such support is more likely during times of financial stress for us and warrantiesthe bank, which may make any capital we have made with respectare required to mortgages that we have sold in the secondary market.

We rely on dividends from our subsidiary for most of our revenue.

Because we are a holding company with no significant operations other than our bank, we depend upon dividends from our bank for a substantial portion of our revenues and our liquidity, including as the source of funds for payment of interest and principal on our holding company debt obligations.

Hawaii law only permits the bank to pay dividends out of retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which if breached, may require usdiffers from GAAP retained earnings. As of December 31, 2022, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $145.7 million. In addition, regulatory authorities could limit the ability of the bank to repurchase such loans, substitute other loans or indemnifypay dividends to CPF. The inability to receive dividends from the purchasers of such loans for actual losses incurred in respect of such loans. A substantial decline in residential real estate values in the markets in which we originated such loansbank could increase the risk of such consequences. While we currently believe our repurchase risk is low, it is possible that requests to repurchase loans could occur in the future and such requests may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures and subordinated notes. We cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to pay dividends to our shareholders.

Operational Risks

Our agreements with BaaS partners may produce limited revenue and may expose us to liability for compliance violations by BaaS partners and may require additional resources to review and monitor performance by our BaaS partners.

We previously announced the launch of our BaaS initiative with the goal of expanding our services in Hawaii and on the U.S. Mainland by collaborating with and investing in fintech companies. In conjunction with that initiative, we are collaborating with Elevate Credit, Inc. and Swell Financial, Inc. where the bank serves as the bank sponsor for a new consumer banking application. There is a risk that our BaaS partners may change their strategic focus or business model; these changes could impact the Company’s business arrangement with our BaaS partners and may adversely impact the Company's financial projections and financial returns on our BaaS programs.

We may enter into agreements with other BaaS partners pursuant to which we will provide certain banking services for the BaaS partner customers. Ensuring contractual and regulatory compliance with these agreements will require additional internal and external resources which will increase our compliance costs and could adversely affect our business. Our agreements with our partners will also have varying terms and may be terminated by the parties under certain circumstances. If our BaaS partners are not successful in achieving customer acceptance of their programs or terminate the agreements before the end of their respective terms, our revenue under the various agreements may be limited or may cease altogether. In addition, our bank regulators may hold us responsible for the activities of our bank partners with respect to various aspects of the marketing or administration of their programs, which may result in increased operational and compliance costs for us or potentially compliance violations as a result of BaaS partner activities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

The strategy of offering BaaS has been adopted by other institutions with which we compete.

Other online banking operations as well as the online banking programs of other banks have instituted BaaS strategies similar to ours. As a consequence, we anticipate that we will encounter competition in this area currently and in the future. This competition may increase our costs, reduce our revenues or revenue growth or make it difficult for us to compete effectively in obtaining these relationships.

Managing reputational risk is important to attracting and maintaining customers, investors and employees

Threats to our reputation can come from many sources, including adverse sentiment about financial institutions generally, negative sentiment about our business including our BaaS initiatives, unethical practices, employee mistakes, misconduct or fraud, failure to deliver minimum standards of service or quality, failure of any product or service offered by us to meet our customers’ expectations, compliance deficiencies, government investigations, litigation, and questionable, unlawful or fraudulent activities of our partners, contract counterparties, employees or customers. We have policies and procedures in place to protect our reputation and promote ethical conduct, but these policies and procedures may not be fully effective to address reputational threats in all circumstances. Negative publicity regarding our business, employees, partners, contracting counterparties, employees or customers, with or without merit, may result in the loss of customers, investors and employees, costly litigation, a decline in revenues and increased governmental scrutiny and regulation.

Consumer protection initiatives related to the foreclosure process could materially affect our ability as a creditor to obtain remedies.

In 2011, Hawaii revised its rules for nonjudicial, or out-of-court, foreclosures. Prior to the revision, most lenders used the nonjudicial foreclosure method to handle foreclosures in Hawaii, as the process was less expensive and quicker than going through the court foreclosure process. After the revised rules went into effect, many lenders ended up forgoing nonjudicial foreclosures entirely and filing all foreclosures in court, which has created a backlog and slowed the judicial foreclosure process. Many lenders continue to exclusively use the judicial foreclosure process, making the foreclosure process very lengthy. Additionally, the joint federal-state settlement with several mortgage servicers over abuse of foreclosure practices creates further uncertainty for us and the mortgage servicing industry in general with respect to implementation of mortgage loan modifications and loss mitigation practices going forward. The manner in which these issues are ultimately resolved could impact our foreclosure procedures, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.



Our ability to maintain adequate sources of funding and liquidity and required capital levels may be negatively impacted by uncertainty in the economic environment which may, among other things, impact our ability to satisfy our obligations.
Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of investments or loans, and other sources would have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity which could affect or limit our ability to satisfy our obligations and our ability to grow profitability at the same rate. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities on terms that are acceptable to us could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically, the financial services industry, or the economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include concerns regarding deterioration in our financial condition, increased regulatory actions against us and a decrease in the level of our business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our loans or deposits are concentrated. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial industry in light of the past turmoil faced by banking organizations and the credit markets.
The management of liquidity risk is critical to the management of our business and our ability to service our customer base. In managing our balance sheet, our primary source of funding is customer deposits. Our ability to continue to attract these deposits and other funding sources is subject to variability based upon a number of factors including volume and volatility in the securities' markets, our financial condition, our credit rating and the relative interest rates that we are prepared to pay for these liabilities. The availability and level of deposits and other funding sources is highly dependent upon the perception of the liquidity and creditworthiness of the financial institution, and perception can change quickly in response to market conditions or circumstances unique to a particular company. Concerns about our past and future financial condition or concerns about our credit exposure to other parties could adversely impact our sources of liquidity, financial position, including regulatory capital ratios, results of operations and our business prospects.
If our level of deposits were to materially decrease, we would need to raise additional funds by increasing the interest that we pay on certificates of deposits or other depository accounts, seek other debt or equity financing or draw upon our available lines of credit. We rely on commercial and retail deposits, and to a lesser extent, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve discount window, to fund our operations. Although we have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and advances as necessary, we might not be able to replace such funds in the future if, among other things, our results of operations or financial condition or the results of operations or financial condition of the FHLB or market conditions were to change.
Our line of credit with the FHLB serves as a primary outside source of liquidity. The Federal Reserve discount window also serves as an additional outside source of liquidity. Borrowings under this arrangement are through the Federal Reserve's primary facility under the borrower-in-custody program. The duration of borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window are generally for a very short period, usually overnight. In the event that these outside sources of liquidity become unavailable to us, we will need to seek additional sources of liquidity, including selling assets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell assets at a level to allow us to repay borrowings or meet our liquidity needs.

We constantly monitor our activities with respect to liquidity and evaluate closely our utilization of our cash assets; however, there can be no assurance that our liquidity or the cost of funds to us may not be materially and adversely impacted as a result of economic, market, or operational considerations that we may not be able to control.
Our business is subject to interest rate risk and fluctuations in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings.
The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and subject to risk from changes in interest rates. Like most financial institutions, our earnings and profitability depend significantly on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience "gaps" in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities, meaning that either our interest-bearing liabilities will be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-earning assets, or vice versa. If market interest rates should move contrary to our position, this "gap" will work against us and our earnings may be negatively affected. In light of our current volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, our net interest margin could be expected to remain relatively constant during periods of rising interest rates, and to decline slightly during periods of falling interest rates. We are unable to predict or control fluctuations of market interest rates, which are affected by many factors, including the following:
inflation;



recession;

market conditions;

changes in unemployment;

the money supply;

international disorder and instability in domestic and foreign financial markets; and

governmental actions.
Our asset/liability management strategy may not be able to control our risk from changes in market interest rates and it may not be able to prevent changes in interest rates from having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. From time to time, we may reposition our assets and liabilities to reduce our net interest income volatility. Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental regulation and regulatory actions against us may impair our operations or restrict our growth.
As a regulated financial institution, we are subject to significant governmental supervision and regulation. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Statutes and regulations affecting our business may be changed at any time and the interpretation of these statutes and regulations by examining authorities may also change. In addition, regulations may be adopted which increase our deposit insurance premiums and enact special assessments which could increase expenses associated with running our business and adversely affect our earnings.

There can be no assurance that such statutes and regulations, any changes thereto or to their interpretation will not adversely affect our business. In particular, these statutes and regulations, and any changes thereto, could subject us to additional costs (including legal and compliance costs), limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. In addition to governmental supervision and regulation, we are subject to changes in other federal and state laws, including changes in tax laws, which could materially affect us and the banking industry generally. We are subject to the rules and regulations of the FRB, the FDIC and the DFI, and certain rules and regulations promulgated by the CFPB. In addition, we are subject to the rules and regulation of the NYSE and the SEC and are subject to enforcement actions and other punitive actions by these agencies. If we fail to comply with federal and state regulations, the regulators may limit our activities or growth, impose fines on us or in the case of our bank regulators, ultimately require our bank to cease its operations. Bank regulations can hinder our ability to compete with financial services companies that are not regulated in the same manner or are less regulated. Federal and state bank regulatory agencies regulate many aspects of our operations. These areas include:
the capital that must be maintained;

the kinds of activities that can be engaged in;

the kinds and amounts of investments that can be made;

the locations of offices;

insurance of deposits and the premiums that we must pay for this insurance;

procedures and policies we must adopt;

conditions and restrictions on our executive compensation; and

how much cash we must set aside as reserves for deposits.
In addition, bank regulatory authorities may bring enforcement actions against banks and bank holding companies, including CPF and the bank, for unsafe or unsound practices in the conduct of their businesses or for violations of any law, rule or


regulation, any condition imposed in writing by the appropriate bank regulatory agency or any written agreement with the authority. Enforcement actions against us could include a federal conservatorship or receivership for the bank, the issuance of additional orders that could be judicially enforced, the imposition of civil monetary penalties, the issuance of directives to enter into a strategic transaction, whether by merger or otherwise, with a third-party, the termination of insurance of deposits, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against institution-affiliated parties, and the enforcement of such actions through injunctions or restraining orders. In addition, if we were to grow beyond $10 billion in assets, we would be subject to enhanced CFPB examination and our compliance costs would increase.
We face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.
The Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and has engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulatory capital standards impose enhanced capital adequacy requirements on us.
Increased regulatory capital requirements (and the associated compliance costs), which have been adopted by federal banking regulators, impose additional capital requirements on our business. The administration of existing capital adequacy laws as well as adoption of new laws and regulations relating to capital adequacy, or more expansive or aggressive interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and could substantially restrict our ability to pay dividends, repurchase any of our capital stock, or pay executive bonuses. In addition, increased regulatory capital requirements as well as our financial condition could require us to raise additional capital which would dilute our existing shareholders at the time of such capital issuance.
If we are unable to effectively manage the composition and risk of our investment securities portfolio, which we expect will continue to comprise a significant portion of our earning assets, our net interest income and net interest margin could be adversely affected.
Our primary sources of interest income include interest on loans and leases, as well as interest earned on investment securities. Interest earned on investment securities represented 15.0% of our interest income in the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to 19.3% of our interest income in the year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, effectively managing our investment securities portfolio to generate interest income while managing the composition and risks associated with that portfolio, including the mix of government agency and non-agency securities, remains important. If we are unable to effectively manage our investment securities portfolio or if the interest income generated by our investment securities portfolio declines, our net interest income and net interest margin could be adversely affected.
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.
Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our deposit customers may pursue alternatives to deposits at our bank or seek higher yielding deposits causing us to incur increased funding costs.

Checking and savings account balances and other forms of deposits can decrease when our deposit customers perceive alternative investments, such as the stock market or other non-depository investments, as providing superior expected returns or seek to spread their deposits over several banks to maximize FDIC insurance coverage. Furthermore, technology and other


changes have made it more convenient for the bank's customers to transfer funds into alternative investments including products offered by other financial institutions or non-bank service providers. Additional increasesIncreases in short-term interest rates could increase transfers of deposits to higher yielding deposits. Efforts and initiatives that we undertake to retain and increase deposits, including deposit pricing, can increase our costs. When the bank's customers move money out of bank deposits in favor of alternative investments or into higher yielding deposits, or spread their accounts over several banks, we can lose a relatively inexpensive source of funds, thus increasing our funding costs.

The fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies of the federal government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The FRB regulates the supply of money and credit in the U.S. Its policies determine in large part the cost of funds for lending and investing and the return earned on those loans and investments, both of which affect the net interest margin. It also can materially decrease the value of financial assets we hold, such as debt securities.
In an effort to stimulate the economy, the federal government and its agencies have taken various steps to keep interest rates at extremely low levels. Our net interest income and net interest margin may be negatively impacted by a prolonged low interest rate environment like we are currently experiencing as it may result in us holding lower yielding loans and securities on our balance sheet, particularly if we are unable to replace the maturing higher yielding assets with similar higher yielding assets. Changes in the slope of the yield curve, which represents the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates, could also reduce our net interest income and net interest margin. Historically, the yield curve is upward sloping, meaning short-term rates are lower than long-term rates. When the yield curve flattens, as is the case in the current interest rate environment, our net interest income and net interest margin could decrease as our cost of funds increases relative to the yield we can earn on our assets.
The FRB has increased interest rates seven times over the last two years. Should the FRB continue to raise interest rates significantly and rapidly, there is potential for decreased demand for our loan products, an increase in our cost of funds, and curtailment of the current economic recovery.
Changes in FRB policies and our regulatory environment are beyond our control, and we are unable to predict what changes may occur or the manner in which any future changes may affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We may be adversely impacted by the transition from LIBOR as a reference rate.

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that after 2021 it would no longer compel banks to submit the rates required to calculate the LIBOR. This announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Consequently, at this time, it is not possible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide submissions for the calculation of LIBOR. Similarly, it is not possible to predict whether LIBOR will continue to be viewed as an acceptable market benchmark, what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR or what the effect of any such changes in views or alternatives may be on the markets for LIBOR-indexed financial instruments.

We have a significant number of loans and debt with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR could create considerable costs and additional risk. Since proposed alternative rates are calculated differently, payments under contracts referencing new rates will differ from those referencing LIBOR. The transition may change our market risk profile, and require changes to risk and pricing models, valuation tools, product design and hedging strategies. Furthermore, failure to adequately manage this transition process with our customers could adversely impact our reputation. Although we are currently unable to assess what the ultimate impact of the transition from LIBOR will be, failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on dividends from our subsidiary for most of our revenue.
Because we are a holding company with no significant operations other than our bank, we depend upon dividends from our bank for a substantial portion of our revenues and our liquidity.
Hawaii law only permits the bank to pay dividends out of retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of December 31, 2019, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $66.6 million. In addition, regulatory authorities could limit the ability of the bank to pay dividends to CPF. The inability to receive dividends from the bank could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures. We cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to pay dividends.
The occurrence of fraudulent activity, data privacy breaches, failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a financial institution, we are susceptible to fraudulent activity, information security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents that may be committed against us, our customers or our business partners (including by our own employees and consultants), which may result in financial losses or increased costs to us or our customers or our business partners, disclosure or misuse of our information or our client information, misappropriation of assets, privacy breaches against our clients, litigation, or damage to our reputation. Such fraudulent activity may take many forms, including check fraud, electronic fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering and other dishonest acts. Information security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents may include fraudulent or unauthorized access to systems used by us, our vendors, or our clients, denial or degradation of service attacks, and malware or other cyber-attacks. In recent periods, there continues to be a rise in electronic fraudulent activity, security breaches and cyber-attacks within the financial services industry, especially in the commercial banking sector due to cyber criminals targeting commercial bank accounts. Consistent with industry trends, we have also experienced an increase in attempted electronic fraudulent activity, security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents in recent periods. Moreover, in recent periods, several large corporations, including financial institutions and retail companies, have suffered major data breaches, in some cases exposing not only confidential and proprietary corporate information, but also sensitive financial and other personal information of their customers and employees and subjecting them to potential fraudulent activity. Some of our clients may have been affected by these breaches, which increase their risks of identity theft, credit card fraud and other fraudulent activity that could involve their accounts with us.

Information pertaining to us and our clients is maintained, and transactions are executed, on the networks and systems of us, our clients and certain of our third-party partners, such as our online banking or reporting systems. The secure maintenance and transmission of confidential information, as well as execution of transactions over these systems, are essential to protect us and our clients against fraud and security breaches and to maintain our clients' confidence. Breaches of information security also may occur, and in infrequent cases have occurred, through intentional or unintentional acts by those having access to our systems or our clients' or counterparties' confidential information, including employees. In addition, increases in criminal activity levels and sophistication, advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries, vulnerabilities in third-party technologies (including browsers and operating systems) or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology, processes and controls that we use to prevent fraudulent transactions and to protect data about us, our clients and underlying transactions, as well as the technology used by our clients to access our systems. Although we have developed, and continue to invest in, systems and processes that are designed to detect and prevent data security breaches and cyber-attacks and periodically test our security, we may fail to anticipate or adequately mitigate breaches of security or experience data privacy
26


breaches that could result in: losses to us or our clients; ourin loss of business to us and/or clients;clients, damage to our reputation;reputation, the incurrence of additional expenses;expenses, disruption to our business;business, our inability to grow our online services or other businesses;businesses, additional regulatory scrutiny or penalties, including resulting violations of law (whether federal or one or more various states); or our exposure to civil litigation and possible financial liability — any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

More generally, publicized information concerning security and cyber-related problems and other data privacy breaches could inhibit the use or growth of electronicdigital or web-based applications or solutions as a means of conducting commercial or retail transactions. Such publicity may also cause damage to our reputation as a financial institution. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.


Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately and on a timely basis.

A failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could adversely affect our ability to report our financial results accurately and on a timely basis, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reporting or adversely affect our access to sources of liquidity. Furthermore, because of the inherent limitations of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls and fraud may not prevent or detect all misstatements even with effective internal controls. Frequent or rapid changes in procedures, methodologies, systems, personnel and technology exacerbate the challenges of developing and maintaining a system of internal controls and can increase the cost and level of effort to develop and maintain such systems.

Changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial results and condition.

Periodically the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. As a result of changes to financial accounting or reporting standards, whether promulgated or required by the FASB or other regulators, we could be required to change certain assumptions or estimates that we have previously used in preparing our financial statements, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Financial services companies depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, we rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive industry and market area.

We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. Such competitors primarily include national, regional and community banks within the various markets we operate. Additionally, various out of state banks conduct business in the market areas in which we currently operate. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including without limitation, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies, financial service providers, including mortgage providers and brokers, operating via the internet and other technology platforms, brokerage firms, insurance companies, factoring companies and other financial intermediaries.

The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can virtually offer any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking. Technology has also lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of our competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than we can.
27



Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including, among other things:

the ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on top quality service, high ethical standards and safe, sound assets;

the ability to expand our market position;

the scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands;

the rate at which we introduce new products and services relative to our competitors;

customer satisfaction with our level of service; and

industry and general economic trends.

Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position and adversely affect our growth and profitability, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the soundness of our financial condition may also affect our competitiveness. Customers may decide not to do business with the bank due to its financial condition.

We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with our bank branches and any real estate collateral we acquire upon foreclosure.

During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans that we have originated or acquired. We also own several of our branch locations. For any real property that we may possess, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage and costs of complying with applicable environmental regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with such requirements can result in penalties. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property's value or limit our ability to use, sell or lease the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business could be adversely affected by unfavorable actions from rating agencies.

Ratings assigned by ratings agencies to us, our affiliates or our securities may impact the decision of certain customers, orinstitutions in particular, to do business with us. A rating downgrade or a negative rating could adversely affect our deposits, our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms and our business relationships.

Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Matters
Governmental regulation and regulatory actions against us may impair our operations or restrict our growth.
As a regulated financial institution, we are subject to significant governmental supervision and regulation. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Statutes and regulations affecting our business may be changed at any time and the interpretation of these statutes and regulations by examining authorities may also change. In addition, regulations may be adopted that increase expenses associated with running our business and adversely affect our earnings.

There can be no assurance that such statutes and regulations, any changes thereto or to their interpretation will not adversely affect our business. In particular, these statutes and regulations, and any changes thereto, could subject us to additional costs (including legal and compliance costs), limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. In addition to governmental supervision and regulation, we are subject to changes in other federal and state laws, including changes in tax laws, which could materially affect us and the banking industry generally. We are subject to the rules and regulations of the FRB, the FDIC and the DFI, and certain rules and regulations promulgated by the CFPB. In addition, we are subject to the rules and regulation of
28


the NYSE and the SEC and are subject to enforcement actions and other punitive actions by these agencies. If we fail to comply with federal and state regulations, the regulators may limit our activities or growth, impose fines on us or in the case of our bank regulators, ultimately require our bank to cease its operations. Bank regulations can hinder our ability to compete with financial services companies that are not regulated in the same manner or are less regulated. Federal and state bank regulatory agencies regulate many aspects of our operations. These areas include:

the capital that must be maintained;

the kinds of activities that can be engaged in;

the kinds and amounts of investments that can be made;

the locations of offices;

insurance of deposits and the premiums that we must pay for this insurance;

procedures and policies we must adopt;

conditions and restrictions on our executive compensation; and

how much cash we must set aside as reserves for deposits.

In addition, bank regulatory authorities may bring enforcement actions against banks and bank holding companies, including CPF and the bank, for unsafe or unsound practices in the conduct of their businesses or for violations of any law, rule or regulation. Enforcement actions against us, including any condition imposed in writing by the appropriate bank regulatory agency or any written agreement with the authority, could include a federal conservatorship or receivership for the bank, the issuance of additional orders that could be judicially enforced, the imposition of civil monetary penalties, the issuance of directives to enter into a strategic transaction, whether by merger or otherwise, with a third-party, the termination of insurance of deposits, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against institution-affiliated parties, and the enforcement of such actions through injunctions or restraining orders. In addition, if we were to grow beyond $10 billion in assets, we would be subject to enhanced CFPB examination and our compliance costs would increase.

We face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.

The Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and has engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulatory capital standards impose enhanced capital adequacy requirements on us.

Increased regulatory capital requirements (and the associated compliance costs), which have been adopted by federal banking regulators, impose additional capital requirements on our business. The administration of existing capital adequacy laws as well as adoption of new laws and regulations relating to capital adequacy, or more expansive or aggressive interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and could substantially restrict our ability to pay dividends, repurchase any of our capital stock, or pay executive bonuses. In addition, increased regulatory capital requirements as well as our financial condition could require us to raise additional capital which would dilute our existing shareholders at the time of such capital issuance.

29


Costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations are significant, and the cost of compliance with new environmental laws, including limitations on emissions relating to climate change, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations. Compliance with these legal requirements require us to incur costs for, among other things, installation and operation of pollution control equipment, emissions monitoring and fees, remediation and permitting at our branches and other facilities. These expenditures and other associated costs associated with compliance have been significant in the past and may increase in the future which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to various legal claims and litigation.

From time to time, customers, employees and others whom we do business with, or are regulated by, as well as our shareholders, can make claims and take legal action against us. Regardless of whether these claims and legal actions are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us, they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of us and our products and services, as well as impact customer demand for our products and services. Any financial liability or reputational damage could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Even if these claims and legal actions do not result in a financial liability or reputational damage, defending these claims and actions have resulted in, and will continue to result in, increased legal and professional services costs, which adds to our noninterest expense and negatively impacts our operating results.

Risks Related to an Investment in the Company's Securities

The market price of our common stock could decline.

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

failure to comply with all of the requirements of any governmental orders or agreements we may become subject to and the possibility of resulting action by the regulators;

deterioration of asset quality;

the incurrence of losses;

actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;

changes in revenue or earnings/losses estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts;

failure to meet analysts' revenue or earnings/losses estimates;

speculation in the press or investment community;

strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, changes in products or markets, or public offerings;

additions or departures of key personnel;

actions by institutional shareholders;

fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;

future sales of other equity or debt securities, including our common stock;

30


general market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the financial services industry;

proposed or adopted regulatory changes or developments;

breaches in our security systems and loss of customer data;

anticipated or pending investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve or affect us; or

domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.

The stock market generally may experience significant volatility. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate more than usual and cause significant price variations to occur. Accordingly, the common stock that you purchase may trade at a price lower than that at which they were purchased. Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent individual shareholders from being able to sell their shares when they want or at prices they find attractive.

A significant decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses for shareholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation.

Anti-takeover provisions in our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable federal and state law may limit the ability of another party to acquire us or a significant block of common stock, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Various provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and certain other actions we have taken could delay or prevent a third-party from acquiring us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our shareholders. These include, among other things, the authorization to issue "blank check" preferred stock by action of the Board of Directors acting alone, thus without obtaining shareholder approval. In addition, applicable provisions of federal and state law require regulatory approval in connection with certain acquisitions of our common stock and super-majority voting provisions in connection with certain transactions. In particular, both federal and state law limit the acquisition of ownership of certain percentage thresholds of our common stock without providing prior notice to the regulatory agencies and obtaining prior regulatory approval or non-objection or being able to rely on an exemption from such acquisition. See the "Supervision and Regulation" section. We are also subject to the provisions of the Hawaii Control Share Acquisitions Act which prohibits the consummation of a “control share acquisition” (with threshold ranges starting at 10% and set at 10% intervals up to a majority) unless approved by our shareholders or otherwise exempt. Unless approved or otherwise exempt, for a period of one year after acquisition, the shares acquired by a person in a control share acquisition will be (i) denied voting rights, (ii) be nontransferable, and (iii) be subject to redemption at our option. Collectively, these provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable federal and state law may prevent a merger or acquisition that would be attractive to shareholders, limit the ability of another party to acquire a significant block of our common stock, and could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.

Our common stock is equity and therefore is subordinate to our subsidiaries' indebtedness and preferred stock.

Our common stock constitutes equity interests and does not constitute indebtedness. As such, common stock will rank junior to all current and future indebtedness and other non-equity claims on us with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us, including in the event of our liquidation. We may, and the bank and our other subsidiaries may also, incur additional indebtedness from time to time and may increase our aggregate level of outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, we had (i) $50.0 million in face amount of trust preferred securities outstanding and accrued and unpaid dividends thereon of $0.2 million and (ii) $55.0 million in principal amount of subordinated notes outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest thereon of $0.4 million. Additionally, holders of common stock are subject to the prior dividend and liquidation rights of any holders of our preferred stock that may be outstanding from time to time. The Board of Directors is authorized to cause us to issue additional classes or series of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders. If we issue preferred shares in the future that have a preference over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, or if we issue preferred shares with voting rights that dilute the voting power of the common stock, then the rights of holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

31


There is a limited trading market for our common stock and as a result, you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you pay for them at the time you otherwise may desire.

Although our common stock is listed for trading on the NYSE, the volume of trading in our common shares is lower than many other companies listed on the NYSE. A public trading market with depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the market of willing buyers and sellers of our common shares at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. As a result, you may not be able to resell your common stock at or above the price you pay or at the time(s) you otherwise may desire.

The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our common stock is not insured and you could lose the value of your entire investment.

An investment in our common stock is not a deposit and is not insured against loss by the government or any governmental
agency.

Risks Related to Technology

We continually encounter technological change.

The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers. In addition, there are a limited number of qualified persons in our local marketplace with the knowledge and experience required to effectively maintain our information technology systems and implement our technology initiatives. Failure to successfully attract and retain qualified personnel, or keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

Financial services companies depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.General Risk Factors
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, we may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to various legal claims and litigation.
From time to time, customers, employees and others whom we do business with, or are regulated by, as well as our shareholders, can make claims and take legal action against us. Regardless of whether these claims and legal actions are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us, they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of us and our products and services, as well as impact customer demand for our products and services. Any financial liability or reputational damage could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Even if these claims and legal actions do not result in a financial liability or reputational damage, defending these claims and actions have resulted in, and will continue to result in, increased legal and professional services costs, which adds to our noninterest expense and negatively impacts our operating results.
We operate in a highly competitive industry and market area.
We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. Such competitors primarily include national, regional and community banks within the various markets we operate. Additionally, various out of state banks conduct business in the market areas in which we currently operate. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including, without limitation, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies, financial service providers, including mortgage providers and brokers, operating via the internet and other technology platforms, brokerage firms, insurance companies, factoring companies and other financial intermediaries.
The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking.

the ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on top quality service, high ethical standards and safe, sound assets;

the ability to expand our market position;



the scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands;

the rate at which we introduce new products and services relative to our competitors;

customer satisfaction with our level of service; and

industry and general economic trends.
Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the soundness of our financial condition may also affect our competitiveness. Customers may decide not to do business with the bank due to its financial condition.
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of one or more of those key personnel may materially and adversely affect our prospects.

Competition for qualified employees and personnel in the banking industry is intense and there is a limited number of qualified persons with knowledge of, and experience in, the regional banking industry, especially in the Hawaii market. The process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategies is often lengthy. Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management, loan origination, finance, administrative, marketing, and technical personnel, and upon the continued contributions of our management and personnel. In particular, our success has been and continues to be highly dependent upon the abilities of key executives, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, our President, our Group Executive Vice President of Revenue, our Executive Vice President and Small Business and Wealth Management Manager, our Executive Vice President of Retail Markets, our Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, ourSenior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and our other executive officers and certain other employees.
We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with our bank branches and any real estate collateral we acquire upon foreclosure.

During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans that we have originated or acquired. We also own several of our branch locations. For any real property that we may possess, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage and costs of complying with applicable environmental regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with such requirements can result in penalties. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property's value or limit our ability to use, sell or lease the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business could be adversely affected by unfavorable actions from rating agencies.
Ratings assigned by ratings agencies to us, our affiliates or our securities may impact the decision of certain customers, in particular, institutions, to do business with us. A rating downgrade or a negative rating could adversely affect our deposits and our business relationships.
Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately and on a timely basis.
A failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could adversely affect our ability to report our financial results accurately and on a timely basis, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reporting or adversely affect our access to sources of liquidity. Furthermore, because of the inherent limitations of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls and fraud, even effective internal controls may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Frequent or rapid changes in procedures, methodologies, systems, personnel and technology exacerbate the challenge of


developing and maintaining a system of internal controls and can increase the cost and level of effort to develop and maintain such systems.

Natural disasters and other external events (including pandemic viruses or disease) could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our branch offices as well as a substantial majority of our loan portfolio is in the state of Hawaii. As a result, natural disasters and other severe weather occurrences such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, (such as the recent eruption of Mount Kilauea), hurricanes and earthquakes and other adverse external events, including the effects of any pandemic viruses or diseases (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), could have a significant effect on our ability to conduct our business and adversely affect the tourism and visitor industry in the state of Hawaii. Such events could affect the ability of our borrowers to repay their outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral
32


securing our loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue, adversely impact our deposit base and/or cause us to incur additional expenses. Accordingly, the occurrence of any such natural disasters, severe weather events, or other occurrences over which we have no control could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Dividends

Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in ourtrust preferred securities and subordinated debentures.notes.

Under the terms of our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes, our ability to pay dividends with respect to common stock would be restricted if our obligations under our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes were not current. Our obligations on our outstanding trust preferred securities and subordinated notes are current as of December 31, 2019.2022.

Additionally, our ability to pay dividends depends on our ability to obtain dividends from our bank. As a Hawaii state-chartered bank, the bank may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of December 31, 2019,2022, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $66.6$145.7 million. In addition, the bank's regulators could impose limitations or conditions on the bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company.

See "Part I, Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Regulatory Actions" for a discussion on regulatory restrictions.

(1)The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently.  Our efficiency ratio is derived by dividing other operating expense by net operating revenue (net interest income plus other operating income). Prior period other operating expense, income tax expense and efficiency ratio have been revised to conform to current period, which reflects reclassifications related to the change in accounting policy for our investments in low-income housing tax credit partnerships referred to in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

RISE2020

Commencing in the second quarter of 2019, the Company launched RISE2020, a new multifaceted initiative intended to enhance customer experience, drive stronger long-term growth and profitability, improve shareholder returns and lower our efficiency ratio. RISE2020 includes initiatives in the following key areas of opportunity: Digital Banking, Revenue Enhancements, Branch Transformation and Operational Excellence. RISE2020 is intended to provide Central Pacific Bank with best-in class products and services in several strategic areas. During 2019, the outsourcing of the Company's residential mortgage loan servicing, the launch of its new website under the cpb.bank domain name and the implementation of its end-to-end commercial loan origination system was completed. The development of the Company's new online and mobile banking platforms is progressing, with a pilot of the new platforms scheduled for the first half of 2020. Key steps toward the Company's


2020 milestones in the areas of branch and ATM modernization were achieved with construction underway at the Main Branch headquarters and new ATMs selected.

The Company plans to invest approximately $40 million in RISE2020 in 2019 and 2020. Some of these investments will be capitalized, while others are recurring annually. During 2019, the Company incurred approximately $3.5 million in RISE2020-related expenses. While operating expenses are expected to increase, the Company is forecasting enhanced revenue growth. As a result, we expect our efficiency ratio to be in the 63-65% range in 2020. Longer-term, the Company is targeting a 15% return on average shareholders' equity and a 57% efficiency ratio by the fourth quarter of 2022.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Banking-as-a-Service ("BaaS") Initiative

In January 2022, the Company announced the launch of a new BaaS initiative with the goal of expanding the Company both in and beyond Hawaii by investing in or collaborating with leading fintech companies. The BaaS initiative is being developed based on the successful product development and launch strategies used in the Company's new Shaka digital product. Shaka, Hawaii’s first all-digital checking account, was launched in November 2021 with a VIP waitlist campaign and a large social

media influencer campaign. The Company is also in the process of developing additional complementary Shaka product and service offerings.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company continued its BaaS initiatives with a minority equity investment in Swell Financial, Inc. ("Swell"), a new fintech company. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Swell launched a consumer banking application that combines checking, credit and more into one integrated account, with Central Pacific Bank serving as the bank sponsor. In addition, the Company is also collaborating with Swell and Elevate Credit, Inc. ("Elevate"), a provider of digital solutions. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Elevate announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Park Cities Asset Management, LLC, who is also the largest investor in Swell. Swell did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2022.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company deployed a remote workforce plan at the onset of the pandemic in 2020 and has been able to continue operations without disruption as well as maintain its systems and internal controls in light of the measures the Company has taken to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"). The Company continues to actively monitor COVID-19 case counts and trends for the safety and protection of our employees and customers. The Company has implemented a gradual, phased-in return-to-office plan that includes a portion of the workforce continuing with flexible, remote work schedules. Over 95% of the Company's employees are fully vaccinated as of December 31, 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption in the local, national and global economies and financial markets. In 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic led the U.S. government to take unprecedented actions to support individuals, businesses and the broader national economy. In response to the anticipated economic effects of COVID-19, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB") took a number of actions that have significantly affected the financial markets in the United States, including actions that resulted in substantial decreases in market interest rates in 2020 and 2021.

The Company was actively involved in several of the major government and regulatory programs during the pandemic. Through guidance from regulatory agencies, the Company prudently worked with its borrowers impacted by COVID-19 to defer principal payments, interest, and fees. The Company provided initial three-month principal and interest payment forbearance for our residential mortgage customers, and three-month principal and interest payment deferrals for our consumer customers. Both residential mortgage and consumer customers were granted extensions to their forbearance or deferral, if needed. The Company deferred either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for generally three to six months for its commercial real estate and commercial, financial and agricultural loan customers on a case-by-case basis depending on need. Loans on active payment forbearance or deferrals granted to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic peaked at $605 million in May 2020. As of December 31, 2022, there were no loans remaining on active payment forbearance or deferral.

In accordance with the revised interagency guidance issued in April 2020 and Section 4013 of the CARES Act, banks were provided an option to elect to not account for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 as TDRs as long as the borrowers were not more than 30 days past due as of February 29, 2020 (time of modification program implementation) and December 31, 2019, respectively. This relief ended on January 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there were no loans with modifications that did not meet the criteria under Section 4013 of CARES Act or the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)".

The bank is a Small Business Administration ("SBA") approved lender and actively participated in assisting customers with loan applications for the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, which was part of the CARES Act. PPP loans have a two or five-year term and earn interest at 1%. The SBA paid the originating bank a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5% based on the size of the loan, which the Company is recognizing over the life of the loan. The SBA began accepting submissions for the initial round of PPP loans on April 3, 2020. In April 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act added an additional round of funding for the PPP. In June 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 was enacted, which among other things, gave borrowers additional time and flexibility to use PPP loan proceeds. Through the end of the second round in August 2020, the Company funded over 7,200 PPP loans totaling $558.9 million and received gross processing fees of $21.2 million.

In December 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was passed which among other things, included a third round of funding and a new simplified forgiveness procedure for PPP loans of $150,000 or less. During 2021, the Company funded over 4,600 loans totaling $320.9 million in the third round, which ended on May 31, 2021, and received additional gross processing fees of $18.4 million.

38


The Company developed a PPP forgiveness portal and, with assistance from a third party vendor, has assisted its customers with obtaining forgiveness from the SBA. We have received forgiveness payments from the SBA and repayments from borrowers totaling $877.1 million as of December 31, 2022. A total outstanding balance of $2.7 million and net deferred fees of $0.1 million remain as of December 31, 2022.

Business Environment

The majority of our operations are concentrated in the state of Hawaii. As a result, our performance is significantly influenced by the strength of the real estate markets, the tourism industry and economic environment in Hawaii. Macroeconomic conditions also influence our performance. A favorable business environment is generally characterized by expanding gross state product, low unemployment and rising personal income; while an unfavorable business environment is characterized by the reverse.

Following the solid performances of our leading economic indicators in 2018,2019, Hawaii's general economic conditionseconomy was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and Hawaii's visitor industry continued to improve but at a slower pacebe impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. Tourism continues2021. On March 26, 2022, the state of Hawaii's mask mandate, Safe Travels Program, and Emergency Proclamation on COVID-19 ended, effectively ending all government-imposed restrictions related to beCOVID-19.

In 2022, with restrictions lifted, Hawaii's center of strength and its most significant economic driver. For the eighth consecutive year, Hawaii's strong visitor industry broke records in several key categories, including visitor arrivals and visitor spending.improved significantly. According to preliminary year-end statistics from the Hawaii Tourism Authority ("HTA"), approximately 10.49.2 million total visitors arrived in the state in 2019.the year ended December 31, 2022, mainly from the U.S. West and U.S. East as international travelers to Hawaii have not returned in a meaningful way. This was an increase of 5.4%approximately 36.4% from the previous record high of 9.96.8 million visitor arrivals in 2018.the year ended December 31, 2021, and is at approximately 89% of the pre-pandemic and record year in 2019. The HTA also reported that total spending by visitors increased to $17.75was $19.3 billion in 2019, an increase of 1.4%,the year ended December 31, 2022, which increased by approximately 47% from the previous record high of $17.51$13.1 billion in 2018.the year ended December 31, 2021, and increased by approximately 8.9% from the pre-pandemic and record year in 2019. According to a recent report by the University of Hawaii Department of Business Economic Development and TourismResearch Organization ("DBEDT"UHERO"), total visitor arrivals and visitor spending are expected to increase by 2.5%to approximately 9.7 million in 2023 and 2.5% in 2020, respectively.
DBEDT reported Hawaii's economy, as measured by the growth of real personal income and real gross state product, continued positive growth in 2019. DBEDTvisitor spending is expected to report real personal income and real gross state product growth ofbe approximately 1.7% and 1.2%, respectively, for 2019 and projects a growth rate of 1.7% and 1.2%, respectively, for 2020.$20.9 billion in 2023.

Hawaii's labor market continues to be among the best in the nation. The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations reported that Hawaii's seasonally adjusted annual unemployment rate was 3.2% in the month of December 2022, The unemployment rate of 3.2% in December 2019, which was 2.6%, compared to 2.5% in December 2018. Hawaii's unemployment rate in December 2019 of 2.6%, which is among the lowest in the nation, remained2022 fell below the national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 3.5%. DBEDTUHERO projects Hawaii's seasonally adjusted annual unemployment rate to be at 3.2%around 3.6% in 2020.2023.

Hawaii's economy is measured by the growth of real personal income and real gross state product. The State of Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism ("DBEDT") is expected to report real personal income declined by approximately 4.6% but real gross state product grew by approximately 2.6% for 2022. DBEDT projects real personal income to grow by 0.7% and real gross state product to grow by 1.7% for 2023.

Real estate lending is a primary focus for us, including residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans. As a result, we are dependent on the strength of Hawaii's real estate market. The Oahu real estate market saw steady activity in 2019. According to the Honolulu Board of Realtors, the median resale price for a single-family home on Oahu exceeded $1 million in all months during 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the median price for a single-family home on Oahu was $1,105,000, representing an increase of 11.6% from the median resale price of $990,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $789,000, representing a decrease of 0.1% from the median resale price of $790,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.2021. The median resale price for condominiums on Oahu was $425,000$510,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, representing an increase of 1.2%7.4% from the median resale price of $420,000$475,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.2021. Oahu unit sales volume increaseddecreased by 3.9%23.2% for single-family homes, butand decreased by 4.8%11.8% for condominiums in 20192022 from 2018.2021 due to rising mortgage interest rates.

As we have seen in the past, our operating results are significantly impacted by the economy in Hawaii and the composition of our loan portfolio. Loan demand, deposit growth, Provision,provision for credit losses, asset quality, noninterest income and noninterest expense are all affected by changes in economic conditions. If the residential and commercial real estate markets we have exposure to deteriorate, our results of operations would be negatively impacted. See the "Overview of Results of Operations—Concentrations of Credit Risk" section for a further discussion on how a deteriorating real estate market, combined with the elevated concentration risk within our portfolio, could have a significant negative impact on our asset quality and credit losses.

In late 2008, the Federal Reserve lowered the target Federal Funds range to 0%-0.25%. In an attempt to help the overall economy, the FRB has kept interest rates low through its targeted Fed Funds rate until the recession was safely over. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has begun raising the target Federal Funds range. During 2018, the Federal Reserve increased the


Federal Funds range four times, each by 25 basis points to 2.25%-2.50% as of December 31, 2018. The Federal Reserve left the Federal Funds range unchanged during the first half of 2019 but cut the Federal Funds range three times by 25 basis points during the second half of 2019 to 1.50%-1.75% as of December 31, 2019.

Further decreases in the Federal Funds rate would likely result in lower overall interest rates and may support the continued expansion of the U.S. economy. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence, among other things, (i) the amount of interest we receive on loans and securities, (ii) the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, (iii) our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, and (iv) the fair value of our assets and liabilities.

In an attempt to help the overall economy during the pandemic, the FRB kept interest rates low through its targeted Fed Funds rate. In an effort to rein in inflation, the FRB aggressively increased interest rates during 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the FRB increased the Federal Funds target range by 25 bp for the first time since 2018 to 0.25-0.50%. During the second quarter of 2022, the FRB increased the Federal Funds target range by 50 bp (the largest rate hike since 2000) in May and another 75 bp (the largest rate hike since 1994) in June to end the quarter at a target range of 1.50-1.75%. In July, September and November 2022, the FRB hiked rates for the fourth, fifth and sixth time this year by an additional 75 bp each. In December 2022, the FRB increased rates for the seventh consecutive time in 2022. The latest 50 bp increase brings the target range to 4.25-4.50%, which is the highest it has been in 15 years. Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they intend to keep interest rates high in 2023. The Company anticipates its average loan yield will continue to increase in the rising interest rate environment. Deposit and borrowing costs will also increase. The extent will depend on the competitive market environment and the Company's ability to retain and grow lower cost deposits. Such factors will influence the future direction of the net interest margin.

In addition to the impacts from changes in monetary policy, other economic conditions may impact financial results in future periods. Inflationary concerns, labor shortages, changes to the political and regulatory environment, supply chain disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts, could adversely impact the economy which could negatively impact our financial results as well as our customers’ creditworthiness. In light of these potential issues, we continue to monitor our liquidity. Refer to "Part II, Item 7 - Liquidity and Borrowing Arrangements" for discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires that management make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense in the financial statements and the related disclosures made. Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, involve the application of highly sensitive and judgmental estimates and assumptions. Some of these policies and estimates relate to matters that are highly complex and contain substantial inherent uncertainties. Actual amounts and values as of the balance sheet dates may be materially different than the amounts and values reported due to the inherent uncertainty in the estimation process. Also, future amounts and values could differ materially from those estimates due to changes in values and circumstances after the balance sheet date.

Accounting estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and would materially impact our consolidated financial statements as of or for the periods presented. Management has identified the following accounting policy and estimates that, due to inherent judgments and assumptions and the potential sensitivity of the financial statements to those judgments and assumptions, are critical to an understanding of our financial statements. Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policy and estimates noted below with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the accompanying disclosures.

The Company identified a significant accounting policy which involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2022, the significant accounting policy which we believed to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements is the determination of the allowance for credit losses. This is further described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in this report.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which created material changes to the Company’s existing critical accounting policy that existed at December 31, 2019. Effective January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, the significant accounting policy which we believe to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements is the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans.

Allowance for Loan and LeaseCredit Losses ("Allowance")on Loans

The Allowance is management's estimate of incurredManagement considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses inherent("ACL") on loans as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total ACL on loans includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses". The ACL is established through provisioning of current expected credit losses as a charge to current earnings. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed while allowance is credited if subsequent recoveries are made. The amount maintained in the ACL reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the estimated credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. Allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We maintain our Allowance at an amount we expect to be sufficient to absorb probable losses incurred in our loan and lease portfolio.

The Company's approach to developing the Allowance has three basic elements. These elements include specific reserves for individually impaired loans, a general allowance for loans other than those analyzed as individually impaired, and qualitative adjustments based on environmental and other factors which may be internal or external to the Company.

Specific Reserve

Individually impaired loans in all loan categories are evaluated using one of three valuation methods as prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-10, "Fair Value of Collateral, Observable Market Price, or Cash Flow". A loan is generally evaluated for impairment on an individual basis if it meets one or more of the following characteristics: risk-rated as substandard, doubtful or loss, loans on nonaccrual status, troubled debt restructures, or any loan deemed prudent by management to so analyze. If the valuation of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the Allowance or, alternatively, a specific reserve will be established and included in the overall Allowance balance. The Company recorded a specific reserve of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company did not record a specific reserve as of December 31, 2018.

General Allowance

In determining the general allowance component of the Allowance, the Company utilizes a comprehensive approach to segmentstratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups. The methodology segmentsgroups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and calculate the portfolio generally by FDIC Call Report codes. Innet amount expected to be collected over the second quarter of 2017, an additional segment was added for auto dealer purchased loans. In the third quarter of 2018, another segment was broken out for multifamily commercial real estate loans. This results in eleven segments, and is consistent with general industry practice. For the purpose of determining general allowance loss factors, loss experience is derived from a migration analysis, with the exception of national syndicated loans and auto dealer purchased loans where an average historical loss rate is applied due to limited historical loss experience. The key inputs to run a migration analysis are the length
40


life of the migration period,loans to estimate the dates for the migration periods to start and the number of migration periods used for the analysis. For


each migration period, the analysis will determine the outstanding balance in each segment and/or sub-segment at the start of each period. These loans will then be followed for the length of the migration period to identify the amount of associated charge-offs and recoveries. A loss rate for each migration period is calculated using the formula 'net charge-offs over the period divided by beginning loan balance'. The Allowance methodology applies a look back period to January 1, 2010. The Company extends its look back period with each additional quarter passing. As of December 31, 2019, the look back period was ten years.

Qualitative Adjustments

Our Allowance methodology uses qualitative adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as economic conditions and industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio, and provide forexpected credit losses in the loan portfolio that may not be reflected and/or capturedportfolio. The Company’s methodologies for estimating the ACL consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the historical loss data. In order to ensure that the qualitative adjustments are in compliance with current regulatory standards and U.S. GAAP, the Company is primarily basing adjustments on the nine standard factors outlined in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. These factors include: lending policies, economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentrations and other internal and external factors.

In recognizing that current and relevant environmental (economic, market or other) conditions that can affect repayment may not yet be fully reflected in historical loss experience, qualitative adjustments are applied to factor in current loan portfolio and market intelligence. These adjustments, which are addedaccompanying notes to the historical loss rate, consider the natureconsolidated financial statements in this report for further discussion of the Company's primary markets and are reasonable, consistently determined and appropriately documented. Management reviewsrisk factors considered by management in establishing the results of the qualitative adjustment quarterly to ensure it is consistent with the trends in the overall economy, and from time to time may make adjustments, if necessary, to ensure directional consistency.ACL.

Overview of Results of Operations

20192022 vs. 20182021 Comparison

In 2019,2022, we recognized net income of $58.3$73.9 million, or $2.03fully diluted earnings per diluted common share ("EPS") of $2.68, compared to net income of $59.5$79.9 million, or $2.01 per diluted common share,EPS of $2.83, in 2018.2021. Our ROA and ROE for 20192022 was 0.99%1.01% and 11.36%15.47%, respectively, compared to 1.05%1.13% and 12.22%14.38%, respectively, in 2018.2021.

We recorded a credit to the provision for loan and leasecredit losses of $6.3$1.3 million in 2019,2022, compared to a credit to the provision of $1.1$14.6 million in 2018.2021.

Net interest income increased by $11.1$4.5 million from 20182021 to 2019,2022, primarily due to a significant increase indriven by higher average loans and leases funded by runoff of the investment securities portfoliobalances and a significant increase in core deposits, combined with an increase in averagehigher yields earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower net interest income and fees on PPP loans, combined with higher deposit and leases and higher interest recoveries on nonaccrual loans. In addition, average government time deposits (included in time deposits of $100,000 and over) declined significantly. Partially offsetting these positive variances were increasesborrowing costs due to the increase in interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, primarily attributable to the four 25 basis point increases in the Federal Funds rate in 2018.2022.

Other operating income increased by $3.0$4.9 million from 20182021 to 2019.2022. The increase in other operating income was primarily due to conversionthe gain on sale of MasterCardVisa Class B common stock received during their initial public offering to Class A common stock and immediate sale of the converted shares resulting in a gain of $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2019, combined with higher income from bank-owned life insurance, higher merchant and bank card fees and higher commissions and feesservice charges on investment services. These increases weredeposit accounts, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income and lower income recovered on nonaccrual loans previously charged-off.from bank-owned life insurance. See Table 34 - Components of Other Operating Income for more information.

Other operating expense increased by $6.9$2.9 million from 20182021 to 2019.2022. The increase was primarily due to higher pension expense (included in other) and higher computer software expense, partially offset by lower directors' deferred compensation plan expense (included in other), lower salaries and employee benefits expense, and lower advertising expense. The higher pension expense is primarily attributable to the termination and settlement of the Company's defined benefit retirement plan resulting in a one-time noncash settlement charge of $4.9 million. See Table 5 - Components of Other Operating Expense for more information.

2021 vs. 2020 Comparison

In 2021, we recognized net income of $79.9 million, or EPS of $2.83, compared to net income of $37.3 million, or EPS of $1.32, in 2020. Our ROA and ROE for 2021 was 1.13% and 14.38%, respectively, compared to 0.58% and 6.85%, respectively, in 2020.

We recorded a credit to the provision for credit losses of $14.6 million in 2021, compared to a debit of $42.1 million in 2020. The credit to the provision for credit losses in 2021 was driven by the improved economic forecast assumptions used in our credit reserve modeling, improvements in the loan portfolio and lower net charge-offs in 2021.

Net interest income increased by $13.4 million from 2020 to 2021, primarily driven by higher net interest income and fees on PPP loans, combined with lower deposit and borrowing costs due to the historically low interest rate environment we were operating in during 2021, partially offset by lower yields earned on the loans and investment securities portfolios.

Other operating income decreased by $2.1 million from 2020 to 2021. The decrease in other operating income was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income, partially offset by higher ATM fees included in other service charges and fees. See Table 4 - Components of Other Operating Income for more information.

Other operating expense increased by $11.3 million from 2020 to 2021. The increase in other operating expense was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, higher entertainmentlegal and promotions expense (included in other),professional expenses, higher computer softwareadvertising expense, and higher net occupancydirectors' deferred compensation plan expense. These increases were partially offset by lower amortization of core deposit premium, lower FDIC insurance expense and a credit to the reserve for residential mortgage loan repurchase losses in 2019, compared to an increase to the reserve in 2018. See Table 4 - Components of Other Operating Expense for more information. 



2018 vs. 2017 Comparison

In 2018, we recognized net income of $59.5 million, or $2.01 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $41.2 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, in 2017. Our ROA and ROE for 2018 was 1.05% and 12.22%, respectively, compared to 0.75% and 8.03%, respectively, in 2017. Our ROA and ROE in 2017 were negatively impacted by a one-time non-cash charge of $7.4 million to income tax expense related to the estimated impact of Tax Reform, as defined below, on our DTA.

The significant increase in net income and diluted earnings per share was primarily due to lower income tax expense of $15.8 million, primarily attributable to federal tax legislation. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation H.R.1., commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"), which among other items, reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% and changed or limited certain tax deductions effective January 1, 2018. The Company's net deferred tax assets ("DTA") represent expected corporate tax benefits anticipated to be realized in the future. The reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate reduced these benefits. Based on the Company's evaluation of the estimated impact of Tax Reform on its DTA, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash estimated charge of $7.4 million of additional income tax expense in December 2017. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.7 million related to a refinement of the revaluation of our DTA. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million related to a tax accounting method change strategy that allows the deduction for certain expenses to be accelerated into the 2017 tax year under the higher corporate tax rate.

We recorded a credit to the provision for loan and lease losses of $1.1 million in 2018, compared to a credit of $2.7 million in 2017.

Net interest income increased by $5.3 million from 2017 to 2018, primarily due to a significant increase in average loans and leases, combined with increases in average yields earned on the loans and leases and taxable investment securities portfolios. Partially offsetting the increase was the significant increase in rates paid on time deposits of $100,000 and over, which primarily consists of public funds.

Other operating income increased by $2.3 million from 2017 to 2018. The increase in other operating income was primarily due to net losses on sales of investment securities recognized in 2017 primarily attributable to an investment portfolio repositioning. In addition, in 2018 we recognized higher commissions and fees on investment services, higher income from fiduciary activities, higher mortgage banking income and higher fees on foreign exchange. These increases were partially offset by lower income from bank-owned life insurance and lower equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries. See Table 3 - Components of Other Operating Income for more information.

Other operating expense increased by $3.6 million, primarily due to the increase in salaries and employee benefits in 2021 is primarily attributable to strategic hirings for the Company's RISE2020 and BaaS initiatives, higher ATMincentive compensation due to stronger Company performance, and debit card expenses, higher computer software expense and higher equipment expense. These increases were partially offset by lower amortization of core deposit premium, lower entertainment and promotions expense and a credit to the reserve for unfunded commitments.non-recurring severance costs. See Table 45 - Components of Other Operating Expense for more information.

Net Interest Income

The following table sets forth information concerning average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the yields and rates thereon. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, is referred to as "net interest margin." Interest income, which includes loan fees and resultant yield information, is expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis using a federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and 35% for the year ended December 31, 2017. . Table 2 presents an analysis of changes in components of net interest income between years. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume and (ii) changes in rates. The change in volume is calculated as change in average balance, multiplied by prior period average yield/rate. The change in rate is calculated as change in average yield/rate, multiplied by current period volume. The change in interest income not solely due to change in volume or change in rate has been allocated proportionately to change in volume and change in average yield/rate.

The banking and financial services industry in the state of Hawaii generally, and particularly in our target market areas, is highly competitive. Net interest income is our primary source of earnings and is derived primarily from the difference between the interest we earn on loans and investments versusand the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) totaled $184.9$216.4 million in 2019,2022, which increased by $10.9$4.8 million, or 6.3%2.3%, from $174.0$211.6 million in 2018,2021, which increased by $4.2$13.3 million, or 2.5%6.7%, from net interest income of $169.8$198.3 million recognized in 2017.2020. The increase in net interest income for 20192022 was primarily the result of a significant increase inhigher average investment securities and loan balances, combined with higher average yields on investment securities and core loans (or total loans excluding PPP loans), partially offset by lower net interest income and fees on PPP loans, and leases as we continuedhigher deposit and borrowing costs due to redeploy our excess liquidity into higher yielding assets, combined with an increasethe rising interest rate environment in average yields earned2022. In 2022, the Company recognized net interest income and fees on PPP loans and leases and higher nonrecurring interest recoveries. Partially offsetting the increase was the 12 basis points ("bp") increaseof $3.6 million, compared to $26.4 million in interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and higher average Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and other short-term borrowings.2021.

Average yields earned on our interest-earning assets increased by 253 bp in the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, from the year ended December 31, 2018. 2021. The increase in average yields earned on interest-earning assets in 2022 was primarily attributable to the 17 bp increase in average yields earned on investment securities and the 15 bp increase in average yields earned on core loans (or total loans excluding PPP loans). Excluding net interest income and fee on PPP loans, the normalized average yield on core loans was 3.73%% in 2022, compared to the normalized average yield on core loans of 3.58%% in 2021.

Average rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities in the year ended December 31, 20192022 increased by 1620 bp from the year ended December 31, 2018.2021. The increase in average rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities in 20192022 was primarily attributable to the 20 bp increaserising interest rate environment in average rates paid2022.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap on our savingscertain municipal debt securities with a notional amount of $115.5 million. The Company will pay the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.095% and money market deposits andwill receive a

floating rate based on the 32 bp increase in average rates paid on our time deposits of $100,000 and over. Time deposits of $100,000 and over primarily consists of public funds which may be opportunistic sources of funding, but fluctuate more directly with changes in Federal Funds rates.effective rate. This transaction has an effective date of March 31, 2024 and a maturity date of March 31, 2029.

In the third quarter of 2019, $53.92021, $104.4 million in lower-yielding available-for-sale securities were sold as part of an investment portfolio repositioning strategy designed to enhance potential prospective earnings and improve net interest margin.rebalancing strategy. We received $53.9$104.5 million in gross proceeds and reinvested the proceeds in $52.5$98.8 million in higher-yielding, longer durationhigher yield investment securities with an average yield of 2.54%1.55% and a weighted average life of 6.66.1 years. The investment securities sold had an average yield of 2.10%1.13% and a weighted average life of 3.22.6 years. Gross realized gains and losses on the sale of the investment


securities were $36 thousand.$1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The specific identification method was used as the basis for determining the cost of all securities sold.

In the second quarter of 2017, we completed2021, $175.0 million in available-for-sale were sold as part of an investment portfolio repositioning strategy designed to enhance potential prospective earnings and improve net interest margin. In connection with the repositioning, we sold $97.7rebalancing strategy.

The investment securities sold had an average yield of 1.91%-0.11% and a weighted average life of 3.31.6 years. Gross proceeds of the sale of $96.0 million were immediately reinvested back into investment securities with an average yield of 2.57%realized losses and a weighted average life of 4.6 years. The new securities were classified in the available-for-sale portfolio. There were no gross realized gains on the sale of the investment securities. Gross realized losses on the sale of the investment securities were $1.6 million.$2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The specific identification method was used as the basis for determining the cost of all securities sold.

Interest Income

Our primary sources of interest income include interest on loans, and leases, which represented 84.1%85.8%, 80.0%88.4%, and 78.1%87.4% of taxable-equivalent interest income in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively, as well as interest earned on investment securities, which represented 15.4%13.8%, 19.7%11.4% and 21.6%12.4% of taxable-equivalent interest income, respectively. Interest income expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis of $217.2$233.5 million in 20192022 increased by $17.9$14.2 million, or 9.0%6.5%, from the $199.3$219.3 million earned in 2018,2021, which increased by $14.6$6.2 million, or 7.9%2.9%, from the $184.6$213.1 million earned in 2017.2020.

As depicted in Table 2, theThe increase in interest income in 20192022 from 20182021 was primarily due to a significant increase inhigher average loans and leases, combined with higher yields earned on loans and leases and higher nonrecurring interest. The $343.1investment securities balances of $242.6 million, increase in average loans and leaseswhich contributed to an increase of $13.9$4.7 million in current year interest income, and higher average core loan (or total loans excluding PPP loans) balances of $227.1 million, which contributed to an increase of $14.9 million in current year interest income. The 22 bp increase inIn addition, the average yieldsyield earned on investment securities and the average normalized yield on core loans (or total loans excluding PPP) increased by 17 bp and leases,15 bp, respectively, which was benefitedincreased interest income by higher interest recoveries of $1.9approximately $2.5 million contributed to an increase of $9.3and $15.2 million, in current year interest income.respectively. These positive variancesincreases were partially offset by the $217.0aforementioned decline in PPP net interest income and loan fees from $26.4 million decreasein 2021 to $3.6 million in 2022.

The increase in interest income in 2021 from 2020 was primarily due to higher net interest income and fees on PPP loans of $26.4 million in 2021, compared to $12.2 million in 2020, due to higher forgiveness and payoffs, combined with the $238.4 million increase in average investment securities which contributed to a decrease of $5.8 million in current year interest income.
The increase in interest income in 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to a significant increase in average loans and leases and taxable investment securities balances, combined with higher yields earned on the loans and leases and taxable investment securities portfolios. The $276.2 million increase in average loans and leases contributed to an increase of $11.0$5.4 million in current year interest income. The 11 bp and 14 bpThese increases were partially offset by a decline in average yields earned on loans and leases and taxablethe investment securities contributed to increasesportfolio of $4.3 million and $1.6 million in current year interest income, respectively.

In addition, the normalized average yield on tax-exempt investment securities due to the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% due to Tax Reform.core loans (or total loans excluding PPP loans) declined by 29 bp.

Interest Expense

In 2019,2022, interest expense was $32.3$17.1 million which represented an increase of $7.0$9.4 million, or 27.7%121.6%, compared to interest expense of $25.3$7.7 million in 2018,2021, which was an increasea decrease of $10.4$7.0 million, or 70.2%47.6%, compared to $14.9$14.7 million in 2017.2020.

In 2019,2022, the increases in the average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits of 16 bp, FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings of 254 bp, and long-term debt of 78 bp, contributed to the increase in interest expense in 2022 from 2021of $7.5 million, $0.9 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.

In 2021, the decreases in the average rates paid on savings and money market deposits of 207 bp, time deposits up to $250,000 of 41 bp, and time deposits of $100,000 and over $250,000 of 3258 bp, contributed to the increasedecrease in interest expense in 2019 from 20182021 from 2020 of $3.0$1.5 million, $0.9 million, and $2.8$3.2 million, respectively. In addition, the increasedecreases in average time deposits over $250,000 and FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings contributed to the increasedecrease in 2021 interest expense of $3.3 million. These increases were partially offset by the 64 bp decrease in rates paid on long-term debt resulting in a $0.7 million decline in interest expense. The decline in rates paid were primarily attributable to the pay off of junior subordinated debentures of CPB Capital Trust II ("Trust II") and CPB Statutory Trust III ("Trust III"), both of which carried an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.85%.
In 2018, the increase in the average rates paid on time deposits of $100,000 and over of 68 bp, long-term debt of 91 bp, and FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings of 126 bp contributed to the increase in interest expense in 2018 from 2017of $6.9 million, $0.9$1.2 million and $0.6$0.7 million, respectively.

Net Interest Margin

Our net interest margin was 3.35%3.09%, 3.22%3.18% and 3.28%3.30% in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively. The increasedecrease in our net interest margin in 20192022 from 20182021 was primarily due to a significant increase inthe lower recognition of net loan fees related to loans originated and leases,forgiven

under the PPP, combined with the 25 bp increase in


the average yield earned on total interest-earning assets, which outpaced the 16 bp increase in averagehigher rates paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield earned on loansdeposits and leases increased by 22 bp, whichborrowings. Excluding the PPP net interest income and net loan fees of $3.6 million, $26.4 million, and $12.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, our net interest margin was benefited by higher nonrecurring interest recoveries of $1.9 million.3.05%, 2.96%, and 3.29% in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

The declinedecrease in our net interest margin in 20182021 from 20172020 was primarily due to lower yields on our interest-earning assets due to the 68historically low interest rate environment we were operating in during 2021 due to the pandemic environment. Average yields earned on interest-earning assets declined by 24 bp, 91led by declines in average yields earned on investment securities of 51 bp. Excluding net interest income and fees on PPP loans, our normalized average yield on loans declined by 29 bp. These decreases were partially offset by a 18 bp and 126 bp increasesdecrease in average rates paid on time deposits of $100,000interest-bearing liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures in addition to our GAAP results. The Company believes non-GAAP financial measures may provide useful information for evaluating our cash operating performance, ability to service debt, compliance with debt covenants and over, long-term debt,measurement against competitors. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and FHLB advances andshould not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other short-term borrowings, respectively. The decline also reflected the reduction of the taxable-equivalent yield on tax-exempt investment securities due to Tax Reform, which resulted in an approximate 2 bp reduction of the net interest margin.companies.

In late 2008, the Federal Reserve lowered the target Federal Funds range to 0%-0.25%. In an attempt to help the overall economy, the FRB has kept interest rates low through its targeted Fed Funds rate until the recession was safely over. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has begun raising the target Federal Funds range. During 2018, the Federal Reserve increased the Federal Funds range four times, each by 25 basis points to 2.25%-2.50% as of December 31, 2018. The Federal Reserve left the Federal Funds range unchanged during the first half of 2019 but cut the Federal Funds range three times by 25 basis points during the second half of 2019 to 1.50%-1.75% as of December 31, 2019.Table 3. Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In light of global economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures, the Federal Reserve indicated it will be patient as it determines what future adjustments to the target Federal Funds rate may be appropriate.

Total other operating income of $41.8$47.9 million in 20192022 increased by $3.0$4.9 million, or 7.7%11.3%, from the $38.8$43.1 million earned in 2018,2021, which increaseddecreased by $2.3$2.1 million, or 6.3%4.7%, from the $36.5$45.2 million earned in 2017.2020.

The increase in other operating income in 20192022 from 20182021 was primarily due to the conversion$8.5 million gain on sale of MasterCard Class B common stock received during their initial public offeringof Visa, Inc. ("Visa") and higher service charges on deposit accounts of $1.8 million. Due to transfer restrictions on the Visa Class AB common stock and immediatethe lack of a readily determinable fair value, the investment was carried at the Company's zero cost basis, therefore the entire net proceeds from the sale of the converted shares resulting in$8.5 million were recorded as a gain on sale of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, combined with higher income from bank-owned life insurance of $1.0 million, higher merchant and bank card fees of $0.7 million (included in other service charges and fees) and higher commissions and fees on investment services of $0.7 million (included in other service charges and fees). The higher income from bank-owned life insurance was primarily attributable to volatility in the equity markets.securities. These increases were partially offset by lower mortgage banking income of $1.3$3.9 million and lower income recovered on nonaccrual loans previously charged-offfrom bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") of $0.4 million. During the third quarter of 2019, the outsourcing of the Company's residential mortgage loans servicing was completed. Costs related to the outsourcing are included in net loan servicing fees as a component of mortgage banking income.

The increase in other operating income in 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to net losses on sales of investment securities of $1.4 million recognized in 2017, primarily attributable to the investment portfolio repositioning completed in 2017, compared to net losses on sales of investment securities of $0.3 million recognized in 2018. In addition, in 2018 we recognized higher commissions and fees on investment services of $1.2 million (included in other service charges and fees), higher income from


fiduciary activities of $0.6 million, higher mortgage banking income of $0.4 million and higher fees on foreign exchange of $0.4$1.6 million. The higherlower mortgage banking income was primarily dueattributable to fewer loans sold as a result of the increases in interest rates in 2022. The Company's Home Loans division recorded $568.2 million in loan originations in 2022, down from $1.18 billion in loan originations in 2021. The lower amortization of mortgage servicing rights (included in mortgage banking income) was primarily attributable to the increase in market interest rates. The decline in income from BOLI in 2022 from 2021 was primarily attributable to significant market volatility. The Company has certain company-owned life insurance policies used to hedge its deferred compensation plans, which are tied to the equity markets and had losses in 2022, therefore, the Company has also recognized offsetting negative deferred compensation expense in other operating expenses.

The decrease in other operating income in 2021 from 2020 was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income of $0.4$6.0 million and lower bank-owned life insurance of $0.3 million, partially offset by higher other service charges and fees of $3.5 million. The lower mortgage banking income was attributable to fewer loans sold as more loans were placed in our
47


residential mortgage loan portfolio in 2021 compared to 2020, combined with thinner gain on sale margins. The Company's Home Loans division had another impressive year with $1.18 billion in loan originations in 2021, down just slightly from the record $1.20 billion in loan originations in 2020. The lower amortization of mortgage servicing rights (included in mortgage banking income) was primarily attributable to the increase in market interest rates. These increasesdecreases were partially offset by lower income from bank-owned life insurance of $1.3 millionhigher other service charges and lower equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $0.4 million. The lower income from bank-owned life insurance wasfees, primarily attributable to death benefit incomehigher ATM and debit card fees. During the second quarter of $1.1 million recognized2020, certain service charges were suspended to support our customers through the pandemic. In addition, there were less transactional activity due to the pandemic resulting in 2017 compared to $0.5 million recognized in 2018, combined with volatility in the equity markets in 2018.lower service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees during 2020.

Other Operating Expense
As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, during the fourth quarter of 2018, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for investments in low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") partnerships from the cost method to the proportional amortization method using the practical expedient available under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323,
"Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures", which permits an investor to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to only the tax credits allocated to the investor. We believe the proportional amortization method is preferable because it better reflects the economics of an investment that is made for the primary purpose of receiving tax credits and other tax benefits and is consistent with the accounting method used by most financial institutions that have disclosed their accounting policies for investments in LIHTC partnerships. In addition to a change in the timing of the recognition of amortization of investments in LIHTC partnerships, amortization expense is now reflected in the income tax expense line, which provides users a better understanding of the nature of the returns of such investments, instead of in other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The change did not impact net income, the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of this accounting policy change, other operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income were retrospectively adjusted for periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2018.



The following table sets forth components of other operating expense and the total as a percentage of average assets for the periods indicated.

The increase in total other operating expense in 2019,2022, compared to 2018,2021, was primarily due to higher pension plan and SERP expenses of $4.1 million, higher computer software expense of $1.5 million, and higher net occupancy expense of $0.8 million, partially offset by lower directors' deferred compensation plan expenses of $2.3 million, lower salaries and employee benefits of $6.9$1.4 million, higher entertainment and promotionslower advertising expense of $1.0 million and higher computer software expense of $1.0$1.3 million. The increase in salariespension plan and employee benefitsSERP expense was partially attributable to the addition of positions in strategic areas and higher commissions, combined with annual merit increases effective beginning the second quarter of 2019. These increases were partially offset by lower amortization of core deposit premium of $2.0 million, as the intangible asset was fully amortized as of September 30, 2018, and lower FDIC insurance expense of $0.9 million, primarily attributable to $0.9a one-time non-cash charge of $4.9 million in Small Bank Assessment Credits receivedrelated to the termination and settlement of the Company's defined benefit retirement plan. The lower directors' deferred compensation plan expenses was primarily due to volatility in the second half of 2019.

A key measure of operating efficiency tracked by management is the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing total other operating expenses by total pre-provision revenue (net interest income plus other operating income). Management believes that the efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information that is important to a proper understanding of the company's core business results by investors. Our efficiency ratio should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to the efficiency ratio presented by other companies.

Our efficiency ratio improved to 62.70%63.00% in 2019,2022, compared to 63.59%64.16% in 20182021 and 64.19%62.47% (as reclassified) in 2017.2020. The improvement in our efficiency ratio in 20192022 compared to 2021, was primarily driven by the aforementioned increases in net interest income and other operating income, partially offset by anthe increase in other operating expenses.expense.

The increase in the effective tax rate in 20182022 from 2017 were2021 was primarily dueattributable to the reduction in the corporate federallower tax-exempt income tax rate due to Tax Reform. In addition and as previously discussed, based on the Company's evaluation offrom BOLI, decreasing the impact of Tax Reform on its DTA, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash estimated charge of $7.4 million of additional income tax expense in December 2017 to reflect the reduction of the future tax benefits and liabilities in the balance sheet based on this reduced rate. In 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.5 million related to the finalization of the impact of Tax Reform, which also included the impact of a tax method change for software development and prepaid expenses that was filed in 2018.net favorable permanent differences.

Financial Condition

Total assets of $6.01$7.43 billion at December 31, 20192022 increased by $205.6$13.7 million, or 3.5%0.2%, from the $5.81$7.42 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, and total liabilities of $5.48$6.98 billion at December 31, 20192022 increased by $168.9$119.1 million, or 3.2%1.7%, from the $5.32$6.86 billion at December 31, 2018.2021. The increase in total assets and total liabilities in 20192022 was primarily due to our strong loan growth, funded by the proceeds from maturities of our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio and an increase in core deposits.deposit growth.

Loan Portfolio

Our lending activities are focused on commercial, financial and agricultural loans, commercial mortgages, and construction loans to small and medium-sized companies, business professionals, and real estate investors and developers, as well as residential mortgages, home equity and consumer loans to local home-buyers and individuals. Our strategy for generating commercial loans has traditionally relied upon teams of commercial real estate and commercial banking officers organized by geographical and industry lines who are responsible for client prospecting and business development.

To manage credit risk (i.e., the ability of borrowers to repay their loan obligations), management analyzes the borrower's financial condition, repayment source, collateral and other factors that could impact credit quality, such as national and local economic conditions and industry conditions related to respective borrowers. The general underwriting guidelines require analysis and documentation to include among other things, overall credit worthiness of borrower, guarantor support, use of funds, loan term, minimum equity, loan-to-value standards, repayment terms, sources of repayment, covenants, pricing, collateral, insurance, and documentation standards. All loan requests considered by us should be for a clearly defined legitimate
50


purpose with a determinable primary source, as well as alternate sources of repayment. All loans should be supported by appropriate documentation including, current financial statements, credit reports, collateral information, asset verification, tax returns, title reports, and appraisals (where appropriate).

We score consumer and small business loans using underwriting matrices ("Scorecards") developed based on the results of an analysis from a reputable national credit scoring company commissioned by our bank. The Scorecards use the attributes that


were determined to most highly correlate with probability of repayment.  Those attributes include, but are not limited to the following: (i) credit score, (ii) credit limit amount, and (iii) debt-to-income ratio.

Loans and leases totaled $4.45$5.56 billion at December 31, 2019,2022, which increased by $371.2$453.8 million, or 9.1%8.9%, from the $4.08$5.10 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, which increased by $307.8$137.5 million, or 8.2%2.8%, from the $3.77$4.96 billion held at December 31, 2017.2020. Core loans, or total loans excluding PPP loans, increased by $542.6 million, or 10.8%, in 2022. The increase in our loan portfolio in 20192022 was representative of our continued effortlargely due to deploy excess liquidity into higher yielding assets.strong demand from new and existing customers. The increase in total loans and leases was primarily due toincluded net increases in the following loan portfolios: residential mortgage of $171.6 million, or 12.0%, commercial mortgage of $83.1 million, or 8.0%, consumer of $77.2 million, or 15.7%, construction of $28.9 million, or 43.2%, and home equity of $21.8 million, or 4.6%, partially offset by a decrease inother commercial, financial, and agricultural of $11.4$13.8 million, or 2.0%2.6%, construction of $43.9 million, or 35.7%, residential mortgage of $65.0 million, or 3.5%, home equity of $102.1 million, or 16.0%, commercial mortgage of $142.9 million, or 11.7%, and consumer of $174.9 million, or 28.0%. These increases were offset by a net decrease in the PPP loan portfolio of $88.8 million. In 2019,2022, we forecloseddid not foreclose on one portfolio loan with a carrying value of $0.1 million, and recorded a gain on the transfer of $22 thousand.any loans.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural - Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program

The bank is a SBA approved lender and actively participated in assisting customers with loan applications for the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, which was part of the CARES Act. PPP loans have a two or five-year term and earn interest at 1%. The SBA pays the originating bank a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5%, based on the size of the loan, which the Company is recognizing over the life of the loan. The Company saw tremendous interest in the PPP. The SBA began accepting submissions for the initial round of PPP loans on April 3, 2020. In April 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act added an additional round of funding for the PPP. In June 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 was enacted, which among other things, gave borrowers additional time and flexibility to use PPP loan proceeds. Through the end of the second round in August 2020, the Company funded over 7,200 PPP loans totaling $558.9 million and received gross processing fees of $21.2 million. In December 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was passed which among other things, included a third round of funding and a new simplified forgiveness procedure for PPP loans of $150,000 or less. During 2021, the Company funded over 4,600 loans totaling $320.9 million in the third round, which ended on May 31, 2021, and received additional gross processing fees of $18.4 million. The Company developed a PPP forgiveness portal and with assistance from a third party vendor has assisted its customers with applying for forgiveness from the SBA. We have received forgiveness payments and repayments from borrowers totaling over $877.1 million as of December 31, 2022. A total outstanding balance of $2.7 million and net deferred fees of $0.1 million remain as of December 31, 2022.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural - Other

Loans in this category consist primarily of term loans and lines of credit to small and middle-market businesses and professionals. The borrower's business is typically regarded as the principal source of repayment, although our underwriting policy and practice generally requires additional sources of collateral, including real estate and other business assets, as well as personal guarantees where possible to mitigate risk. Risk of credit losses could be greater in this loan category relative to secured loans where a greater percentage of the loan amount is usually covered by collateral. Nonetheless, any collateral or personal guarantees obtained on commercial loans can mitigate the increased risk and help to reduce credit losses.

Our historical approach to commercial lending involves teams of lending and cash management personnel who focus on relationship development including loans, deposits and other bank services to new and existing commercial clients.

In 2019,2022, our commercial, financial, and agricultural loan portfolio, decreasedexcluding PPP loans, increased by $11.4$13.8 million, which was attributable to an increase in the U.S. Mainland portfolio of $52.5 million, offset by a decline in the Hawaii portfolio of $38.7 million. Our commercial, financial, and agricultural loan portfolio, increasedexcluding PPP loans, decreased by $77.6$15.0 million in 2018, decreased by $6.4 million in 2017 and decreased by $10.6 million in 2016. The decrease in 2019 was primarily attributable to planned runoff of U.S. Mainland shared national credit balances of $26.8 million, partially offset by growth in the Hawaii portfolio of $15.5 million.2021.

Real Estate—Construction

Construction loans include both residential and commercial development projects. Each construction project is evaluated for economic viability. Construction loans pose higher credit risks than typical secured loans. In addition to the financial strength of the borrower, construction loans have the added element of completion risk, which is the risk that the project will not be completed on time and within budget, resulting in additional costs that could affect the economic viability of the project and market risk at the time construction is complete.

In 2019,2022, our construction loan portfolio increased by $28.9$43.9 million. Our construction loan portfolio increaseddecreased by $2.7$2.5 million in 2018, decreased by $37.3 million in 2017, and increased by $16.7 million in 2016.2021. These fluctuations are driven by the start and completion of construction projects and are consistent with a normal construction cycle.

Interest Reserves

Our policies require interest reserves for construction loans, including loans to build commercial buildings, residential developments (both large tract projects and individual houses), and multi-family projects.

The outstanding principal balance of loans with interest reserves was $37.1$68.6 million at December 31, 2019,2022, compared to $25.2$51.3 million in the prior year, while remaining interest reserves was $4.0$10.5 million, or 10.9%15.3% of the outstanding principal balance of loans with interest reserves at December 31, 2019,2022, compared to $4.0$5.2 million, or 15.7%10.1% of the outstanding principal balance of loans with interest reserves at December 31, 2018.2021.

Interest reserves allow the Company to advance funds to borrowers to make scheduled payments during the construction period. These advances typically are capitalized and added to the borrower's outstanding loan balance, although we have the right to demand payment under certain circumstances. Our policy is to determine if interest reserve amounts are appropriately included in each project's construction budget and are adequate to cover the expected duration of the construction period.

The amount, terms, and conditions of the interest reserve are established when a loan is originated, although we generally have the option to demand payment if the credit profile of the borrower changes. We evaluate the viability and appropriateness of the construction project based on the project's complexity and feasibility, the timeline, as well as the creditworthiness of the borrowers, sponsors and/or guarantors, and the value of the collateral.

In the event that unfavorable circumstances alter the original project schedule (e.g., cost overruns, project delays, etc.), our policy is to evaluate whether or not it is appropriate to maintain interest capitalization or demand payment of interest in cash and we will work with the borrower to explore various restructuring options, which may include obtaining additional equity and/or requiring additional collateral. We may also require borrowers to directly pay scheduled interest payments.

Our process for determining that construction projects are moving as planned are detailed in our lending policies and guidelines. Prior to approving a loan, the Company and borrower generally agree on a construction budget, a proforma monthly disbursement schedule, and sales/leaseback assumptions. As each project progresses, the projections are measured against actual disbursements and sales/lease results to determine if the project is on schedule and performing as planned.


The specific monitoring requirements for each loan vary depending on the size and complexity of the project and the experience and financial strength of the borrower, sponsor and/or guarantor. At a minimum, to ensure that loan proceeds are properly disbursed and to assess whether it is appropriate to capitalize interest or demand cash payment of interest, our monitoring process generally includes:

Physical inspection of the project to ensure work has progressed to the stage for which payment is being requested;

Verification that the work completed is in conformance with plans and specifications and items for which disbursement is requested are within budget; and

Determination that there continues to be satisfactory project progress.

In certain rare circumstances, we may decide to extend, renew, and/or restructure the terms of a construction loan. Reasons for the restructure can range from cost overruns to project delays and the restructuring can result in additional funds being advanced or an extension of the maturity date of the loan. Prior to the loan being restructured, our policy is to perform a detailed analysis to ensure that the economics of the project remain feasible and that the risks to the Company are within acceptable lending guidelines.

Residential

Residential mortgage loans include fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans primarily secured by single-family owner-occupied primary residences in Hawaii. Maximum loan-to-value ratios of 80% are typically required for fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans secured by single-family owner-occupied residences, although higher levels are permitted with accompanying mortgage insurance. First mortgage loans secured by residential properties generally carry a moderate level of credit risk. With an average loan origination size of approximately $0.5$0.6 million, marketable collateral and a stable Hawaii residential real estate market, credit losses on residential mortgage loans have been minimal during the past several years. However, economic conditions including unemployment levels, future changes in interest rates and other market factors can impact the marketability and value of collateral and thus the level of credit risk inherent in the portfolio.

Closed-end residential mortgage loan balances as of December 31, 20192022 totaled $1.60$1.94 billion, increasing by $171.6$65.0 million, or 12.0%3.5%, from the $1.43$1.88 billion held at year-end 2018,2021, which increased by $87.0$185.8 million, or 6.5%11.0%, from the $1.34$1.69 billion held at year-end 2017.2020. The increase in closed-end residential mortgage loan balances in 20192022 was primarily due to a higher amount of loans placed in the reinvestment of cash flow into higher yielding assets and increased demand from both new and existing customers.residential mortgage portfolio.

Residential mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 20192022 totaled $9.1$1.1 million, an increasea decrease of $2.4 million, or 36.6%68.7%, from the December 31, 20182021 balance of $6.6$3.5 million, which decreased by $9.7$13.2 million, or 59.3%78.8%, from the December 31, 20172020 balance of $16.3$16.7 million. We did not securitize any residential mortgage loans in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017.2020.




Home Equity

Home equity lines of credit ("HELOCs"), which typically carry floating or fixed interest rates, are underwritten according to policy and guidelines reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. All HELOCs originated since early 2011 have a ten yearten-year draw period followed by a 20 year20-year repayment period during which the principal balance will be fully amortized. HELOCs are underwritten using a qualifying payment which assumes the line is fully drawn and is amortizing as if it was in the repayment period. Underwriting criteria include a minimum FICO score, maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI)("DTI"), and maximum combined loan-to-value ratio (CLTV)("CLTV"). HELOCs are monitored based on default, delinquency, end of draw period, and maturity.

HELOC balances as of December 31, 20192022 totaled $490.7$739.4 million, increasing by $21.8$102.1 million, or 4.6%16.0%, from the $469.0$637.2 million held at December 31, 2018,2021, which increased by $56.7$86.0 million, or 13.8%15.6%, from the $412.2$551.3 million held at December 31, 2017.2020.

Commercial Mortgage

Real estate mortgage loans secured by commercial properties continue to represent a sizable portion of our loan portfolio. Our policy with respect to commercial mortgages is that loans be made for sound purposes, have a definite source and/or plan of repayment established at inception, and be backed up by reliable secondary sources of repayment and satisfactory collateral
54


with good marketability. Loans secured by commercial property carry a greater risk than loans secured by residential property due to operating income risk. Operating income risk is the risk that the borrower will be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from the operation of the property. The commercial real estate market and interest rate conditions through economic cycles will impact risk levels.

Commercial mortgage balances as of December 31, 20192022 totaled $1.12$1.36 billion, increasing by $83.1$142.9 million, or 8.0%11.7%, from the $1.04$1.22 billion held at December 31, 2018,2021, which increased by $62.5$63.9 million, or 6.4%5.5%, from the $977.8 million$1.16 billion held at December 31, 2017.2020. The increase in commercial mortgage balances in 20192022 was primarily due to increased demand from both new and existing customers.

For consumer loans, credit risk is managed on a pooled basis. Considerations include an evaluation of the quality, character and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, current and projected economic conditions and past loan loss experience. Consumer loans represent a moderate credit risk. Loans in this category are generally either unsecured or secured by personal assets such as automobiles. The average loan size is generally small and risk is diversified among many borrowers. Our policy is to utilize credit-scoring systems for most of our consumer loans, which offer the ability to modify credit exposure based on our risk tolerance and loss experience. From time to time, we will tactically deploy funds, which are not utilized in our current short-term core lending markets, by purchasing certain consumer loan portfolios.

Consumer loans totaled $569.4$798.8 million at December 31, 2019,2022, increasing by $77.2$174.9 million, or 15.7%28.0%, from December 31, 20182021 of $492.2$623.9 million, which increased by $21.5$144.5 million, or 4.6%30.1%, compared to the $470.7$479.4 million held at December 31, 2017. 2020.

Maturities and Sensitivities of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates

At December 31, 2019, commercial,2022, all PPP loans were fixed-rate. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, excluding PPP loans, were 44.8%52.6% fixed-rate and 55.2%47.4% variable-rate. Real estate construction loans were 46.7%40.2% fixed-rate and 53.3%59.8% variable-rate. Residential mortgage loans were 67.1%85.9% fixed-rate and 32.9%14.1% variable-rate. Home equity lines and loans were 9.9%12.8% fixed-rate and 90.1%87.2% variable-rate. Commercial mortgage loans were 38.7%55.0% fixed-rate and 61.3%45.0% variable-rate. Consumer loans were 84.8%90.8% fixed-rate and 15.2%9.2% variable-rate.

Commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans with variable interest rates are underwritten at the current market rate of interest. For commercial loans and commercial real estate loans with a fixed-rate period that are not fully amortizing, the loans are underwritten at the current market rate of interest. At the expiration of the fixed-rate period and/or maturity, the projected loan balance at that time is underwritten at an interest rate based on the current interest rate plus two percent per annum (2%).

Qualifying payments for our variable-rate residential mortgage loans with initial fixed-rate periods of five years or less are calculated using the greater of the note rate plus 2% per annum or the fully indexed rate. Payments for our variable-rate loans with a fixed-rate period of greater than five years are calculated using the greater of the note rate or the fully indexed rate. The qualifying payment for our HELOCs is based on the fully indexed rate plus the required principal plus interest payment due during the repayment period assuming the line was fully drawn. Our consumer lines of credit use a qualifying payment based on a percentage of the credit limit that exceeds the actual required fully indexed interest rate payment calculation.

Provision and Allowance for Loan and LeaseCredit Losses for Loans

As described above under the "Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates" section, the Provisionprovision for credit losses ("Provision') for loans is determined by management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and our assessment of the ability of the AllowanceACL for loans to cover inherent losses.expected credit losses for loans. Our methodology for determining the adequacy of the AllowanceACL and Provision for loans takes into account many factors, including the level and trend of nonperforming and potential problem loans, net charge-off experience, current repayment by borrowers, fair value of collateral securing specific loans, changes in lending and underwriting standards and general economic factors, nationally and in the markets we serve.

The Company maintains its AllowanceACL at an appropriate level as of a given balance sheet date to absorb management's best estimate of probableexpected credit losses inherent in its loan portfolios that will likely be realized over various loss emergence periods. These periods arethe expected life of our loan portfolio. This is based upon management's comprehensive analysis of the risk profiles particular to the respective loan portfolios. Analysis of Allowancethe appropriateness of the ACL for loans is performed quarterly to coincide with financial disclosure to the public and to the regulatory agencies and is governed by a Board-approved policy and methodology.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," and subsequent amendments to the guidance, ASU 2019-04 in April 2019 and ASU 2019-05 in May 2019. The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s “incurred loss” guidance delays the recognition of credit losses on loans, leases, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees, and instead provides for a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. At adoption, the change to the allowance for credit losses as a result of CECL implementation will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet.
58


While the CECL implementation effort is near completion, the Company is unable to determine the final adoption impact on our consolidated financial statements as certain internal controls over the calculation and inputs have not yet fully operated. Additional work will be completed on internal controls over significant assumptions utilized. However, based on preliminary analyses completed thus far, management estimates its allowance for credit losses, including reserves for unfunded commitments, to increase by roughly 0%-15%. The foregoing range is based on the Company's calculation models and the underlying assumptions embedded in its methodology, including economic forecasts and sensitivity analyses. The final calculation, including assumptions, economic forecasts and inputs are subject to change based on the final completion of all internal controls and related testing.

(1) In 2020, the Company recorded a reserve on accrued interest receivable ("AIR") of $0.2 million for loans on active payment forbearance or deferral, which were granted to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This reserve was recorded as a contra-asset against AIR with the offset to provision for credit losses. This reserve balance of $0.2 million was reversed during the second quarter of 2021 due to the significant decline in loans on active forbearance or deferral and the Company no longer has a reserve on accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2021 or 2022. The provision for credit losses presented in this table excludes the provision (credit) for credit losses on AIR.

Deposits

The primary source of our funding comes from deposits in the state of Hawaii. In this competitive market, we strive to distinguish ourselves by providing exceptional customer service in our branch offices and through digital channels, and establishing long-term relationships with businesses and their principals. Our focus has been to develop a large, stable base of core deposits, which are comprised of non-interest bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits less than $100,000.$250,000. Time deposits in amounts of $100,000$250,000 and greater are generally considered to be more price-sensitive than relationship-based and are thus given less focus in our marketing and sales efforts.

The following table sets forth the composition of our deposits by category as of the dates indicated.

After experiencing large increases in core deposits in 2020 and 2021 primarily due to the deposit of PPP funds and other government stimulus into both new and existing deposit accounts, during the 2022 year, the Company experienced moderation of core deposit balances primarily due to the rising interest rate environment. Going forward, the Company is focused on expanding banking relationships with both commercial and retail customers in the State of Hawaii.

The Dodd-Frank Act raised the limit for federal deposit insurance to $250,000 for most deposit accounts. Our total uninsured deposits were $2.34 billion and $2.38 billion as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

We expect overall deposit rates to hold relatively steadycontinue to increase in 20202023 based on the Federal Open Market Committee's recent statements.statements and the expectation of additional interest rate increases in 2023. In addition to the external interest rate environment, the overall direction and magnitude of rate movements in our


deposit base will largely depend on the level of deposit growth we need to maintain adequate liquidity and competitive pricing considerations.

Capital Resources

In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with an analysis of the size and quality of our assets, the anticipated performance of our business, and the level of risk.risk and regulatory capital requirements. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews our capital position on an ongoing basis to ensure it is adequate, including, but not limited to, the need for raising additional capital (whether debt and/or equity) or returning capital to our shareholders, andincluding the ability to declare cash dividends or repurchase our securities.

Common and Preferred Equity

Shareholders' equity totaled $528.5$452.9 million at December 31, 2019, an increase2022, a decrease of $36.8$105.3 million, or 7.5%18.9%, from the $491.7$558.2 million at December 31, 2018,2021, which decreasedincreased by $8.3$11.5 million, or 1.7%2.1%, from December 31, 2017. 2020. The decrease in shareholders' equity from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to other comprehensive loss of $136.0 million, cash dividends paid of $28.5 million and the repurchase of 868,613 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $20.7 million, under our stock repurchase program, partially offset by net income of $73.9 million. During 2022 we repurchased approximately 3.1% of our common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021.

The increase in shareholders' equity from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to net income of $79.9 million, partially offset by accumulated other comprehensive loss of $28.1 million, cash dividends paid of $27.0 million, and the repurchase of 696,894 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $18.7 million, under our stock repurchase program. During 2021 we repurchased approximately 2.5% of our common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020.

When expressed as a percentage of total assets, shareholders' equity was 8.8%6.1% at December 31, 2019,2022, compared to 8.5%7.5% at December 31, 20182021 and 8.9%8.3% at December 31, 2017.
2020. The increasedecline in the ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets from 2021 to 2022 was primarily due to unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 20182022 due to December 31, 2019market volatility and the rising interest rate environment. The decline in our ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets from 2020 to 2021 was primarily attributable to: 1) net income of $58.3 millionto the significant increase in total assets in 2021.

Our book value per share was $16.76, $20.14, and 2) accumulated other comprehensive income of $27.6 million, partially offset by: 1)$19.40 at year-end 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in our book value per share from 2021 was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 797,003 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $22.8 million, under our stock repurchase program, and 2)


cash dividends paid of $25.7 million. During 2019 we repurchased approximately 2.8% of our common stock outstanding at December 31, 2018.

The decrease in shareholders' equity from December 31, 20172021 to December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to: 1) the repurchase of 1,155,157 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $32.8 million, under our stock repurchase program, 2) cash dividends paid of $24.1 million and 3) accumulated other comprehensive loss of $13.1 million, partially offset by net income of $59.5 million. During 2018 we repurchased approximately 3.8% of our common stock outstanding at December 31, 2017.

Our tangible common equity ratio was 8.79% at December 31, 2019, compared to 8.47% at December 31, 2018 and 8.86% at December 31, 2017. Our book value per share was $18.68, $16.97, and $16.65 at year-end 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in our tangible common equity ratio in 2019 from 2018 was primarily attributable to the increase in common equity due to net income recorded in 2019, partially offset by the reduction in our common equity due to common stock repurchases ,2022 as well as the quarterly dividends paid in 2019. The increase in our book value per share from 2018 was primarily attributable to net income recorded in 2019 of $58.3 million, combined with the reduction in common shares outstanding due to the aforementioned common stock repurchases completed in 2019.
The tangible common equity ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Comparison of our tangible common equity ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the tangible common equity ratio differently. Our tangible common equity ratio is derived by dividing common shareholders' equity, less intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), by total assets, less intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights).

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our tangible common equity ratio for each of the dates indicated:

described above.

Trust Preferred Securities

As of December 31, 2019,2022, we have two remaining statutory trusts, CPB Capital Trust IV ("Trust IV") and CPB Statutory Trust V ("Trust V"), which issued a total of $50.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities. The $30.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities of Trust IV bear an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.45% and the $20.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities of Trust V bear an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.87%. Our obligations with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the trusts' obligations with respect to its trust preferred securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we may elect from time to time to defer subordinated debenture interest payments, which would result in a deferral of dividend payments on the related trust preferred securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty.

The Company determined that its investments in Trust IV and Trust V did not represent a variable interest and therefore the Company was not the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts. As a result, consolidation of the trusts by the Company werewas not required.
On December 17, 2018, the Company completed the redemption of $20.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities of Trust III bearing an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.85% and maturing on December 17, 2033. The redemption price


was 100% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the securities plus accumulated but unpaid distributions up to but not including the redemption date. The Company also redeemed $0.6 million of common securities issued by Trust III and held by the Company, as a result of the concurrent redemption of 100% of the principal assets of Trust III, or $20.6 million of the Company's junior subordinated debentures with an identical interest rate and maturity as the Trust III trust preferred securities. The redemption was pursuant to the optional prepayment provisions of the indenture. On January 9, 2019, Trust III was canceled with the state of Connecticut.

On January 7, 2019, the Company completed the redemption of $20.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities of Trust II bearing an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.85% and maturing on October 7, 2033. The redemption price was 100% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the securities plus accumulated but unpaid distributions up to but not including the redemption date. The Company also redeemed $0.6 million of common securities issued by Trust II and held by the Company, as a result of the concurrent redemption of 100% of the principal assets of Trust II, or $20.6 million of the Company's junior subordinated debentures with an identical interest rate and maturity as the Trust II trust preferred securities. The redemption was pursuant to the optional prepayment provisions of the indenture. On January 22, 2019, Trust II was canceled with the state of Delaware.

We also previously had CPB Capital Trust I ("Trust I"), which was canceled in August 2014.2014, and CPB Capital Trust II ("Trust II") and CPB Statutory Trust III ("Trust III"), which were both canceled in January 2019.

Subordinated Notes

On October 20, 2020, the Company completed a $55.0 million private placement of ten-year fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, which will be used to support regulatory capital ratios and for general corporate purposes. The Company exchanged the privately placed notes for registered notes with the same terms and in the same aggregate principal amount at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. The notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.75% for the first five years through November 1, 2025 and will reset quarterly thereafter for the remaining five years to the then current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 456 basis points. The notes are redeemable at our option on any interest payment date on or after November 1, 2025. The subordinated notes totaled $54.3 million as of December 31, 2022, and includes $0.7 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the expected life.

Holding Company Capital Resources

CPF is required to act as a source of strength to the bank under the Dodd-Frank Act. CPF is obligated to pay its expenses and payments on its junior subordinated debentures which fund payments on the outstanding trust preferred securities.securities and subordinated notes.

CPF relies on the bank to pay dividends to it to fund its obligations. As of December 31, 2019,2022, on a stand-alone basis, CPF had an available cash balance of approximately $10.6$16.9 million in order to meet its ongoing obligations.

As a Hawaii state-chartered bank, the bank may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of December 31, 2019,2022 and 2021, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $66.6 million.$145.7 million and $114.0 million, respectively.

Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures. For further information, see the "Dividends — Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" section.

Share Repurchases

We repurchase shares of our common stock when we believe such repurchases are in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

In January 2017, our2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized theapproved a repurchase plan of up to $30.0$25 million of the Company'sits common stock from time to time onin the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2017"2021 Repurchase Plan"). The 2017 Repurchase Plan replaced and superseded in its entirety the share repurchase plan previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

In November 2017, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the 2017 Repurchase Plan authority by an additional $50.0 million (known henceforth as the "Repurchase Plan"). In 2017, 864,4832021, 696,894 shares of common stock, at a cost of $26.6$18.7 million, were repurchased under the previousCompany's share repurchase plan and
69


program. A total of $6.3 million remained available for repurchase under the 2021 Repurchase Plan combined.at December 31, 2021.

In 2018, 1,155,157 shares of common stock, at a cost of $32.8 million, were repurchased under the Repurchase Plan.

In June 2019,January 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized theapproved a new authorization to repurchase of up to $30 million of its common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2019"2022 Repurchase Plan"). The 20192022 Repurchase Plan replacesreplaced and supersedessuperseded in its entirety the 2021 Repurchase Plan, which had $6.8 million in remaining repurchase authority.Plan.

In 2019, 797,0032022, 868,613 shares of common stock, at a cost of $22.8$20.7 million, were repurchased under the 2019 Repurchase Plan.Company's share repurchase programs. A total of $21.1$10.3 million remained available for repurchase under the 20192022 Repurchase Plan at December 31, 2019.2022.



In January 2020,2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized theapproved a new authorization to repurchase of up to $30$25 million of its common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (the "2023 Repurchase Plan"), pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program. The new repurchase plan2023 Repurchase Plan replaces and supersedes in its entirety the 20192022 Repurchase Plan. Our ability to repurchase shares is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and approval of our regulators, and there can be no assurance that the Board will repurchase shares of our common stock in the future.

Cybersecurity

In recent years, cybersecurity has gained prominence within the financial services industry due to increases in the quantity and sophistication of cyber-attacks, which include significant distributed denial-of-service and credential validation attacks, malicious code and viruses and attempts to breach the security of systems, which, in certain instances, have resulted in unauthorized access to customer account data.

The bank has a number of complex information systems used for a variety of functions by customers, employees and vendors. In addition, third parties with which the bank does business or that facilitate business activities (e.g., vendors, exchanges, clearing houses, central depositories and financial intermediaries) could also be sources of cybersecurity risk to the bank, including with respect to breakdowns or failures of their systems, misconduct by the employees of such parties, or cyber-attacks which could affect their ability to deliver a product or service to the bank.

As a regulated financial institution, we must adhere to the security requirements and expectations of the applicable regulatory agencies, which include requirements related to data privacy, systems availability and business continuity planning, among others. The regulatory agencies have established guidelines for the responsibilities of the Board of Directors and senior management, which include establishing policy, appointing and training personnel, implementing review and testing functions and ensuring an appropriate frequency of updates.

The Board of Directors overall, and its ComplianceBoard Risk Committee more specifically, oversees cybersecurity risk. The Executive Committee overall, and our Chief Legal Officer, our Risk Management DivisionChief Technology Officer and our Chief Information Security Officer more specifically, manages the cybersecurity risk at the operational level. Various reports on cybersecurity are provided to our Executive Committee and a quarterly update is provided to the ComplianceBoard Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.

As a complement to the overall cybersecurity infrastructure, the bank utilizes a number of internal training methods, both formally through mandatory courses and informally through written communications and other updates. Internal policies and procedures have been implemented to encouragerequire the reporting of potential phishing attacks or other security risks. The bank also uses third party services as part of its cybersecurity framework, and any such third parties are required to comply with the bank’s policies regarding information security and confidentiality. In addition, the bank retains third party groups to assess and supplement the bank’s cybersecurity needs. These cyber-attacks have not, to date, resulted in any material disruption to the bank’s operations or harm to its customers and have not had a material adverse effect on the bank’s results of operations; however, there can be no assurance that a sophisticated cyber-attack can be detected or thwarted.

Transaction Risk

Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from problems in service, activity or product delivery. This risk is significant within any bank and is interconnected with other risk categories in most activities throughout the Company. Transaction risk is a function of internal controls, information systems, associate integrity, and operating processes. It arises daily throughout the Company as transactions are processed. It pervades all divisions, departments and centers and is inherent in all products and services we offer.

In general, transaction risk by major area is definedcategorized as high, medium or low by the Company. The audit plan ensures that high risk areas are reviewed annually. We utilize internal auditors and independent audit firms to test key controls of
70


operational processes and to audit information systems, compliance management programs, loan programs and trust services.

The key to managing transaction risk is in the design, documentation and implementation of well-defined procedures and controls. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurances of the effectiveness of these systems and controls, and that the objectives of these controls have been met.

Compliance Risk

Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from violations of, or non-conformance with, laws, rules, regulations,


prescribed practices, or ethical standards. Compliance risk also arises in situations where the laws or rules governing certain products or activities of the bank’s customers may be ambiguous or untested. Compliance risk exposes us to fines, civil money penalties, payment of damages, and the voiding of contracts. Compliance risk can also lead to a diminished reputation, reduced business value, limited business opportunities, lessened expansion potential, and lack of contract enforceability. The Company utilizes independent external firms to conduct compliance audits as a means of identifying weaknesses in the compliance program.

There is no single or primary source of compliance risk. It is inherent in every activity. Frequently, it blends into operational risk and transaction risk. A portion of this risk is sometimes referred to as legal risk. This is not limited solely to risk from failure to comply with consumer protection laws; it encompasses all laws, as well as prudent ethical standards and contractual obligations. It also includes the exposure to litigation from all aspects of banking, traditional and non-traditional.

Our risk management policies and codes of ethical conduct are cornerstones for controlling compliance risk. An integral part of controlling this risk is the proper training and development of employees. The CorporateDirector of Compliance Division Manager is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive compliance training program. The CorporateDirector of Compliance, Division Manager, in consultation with our internal and external legal counsel, seeks to provide our employees with adequate training commensurate to their job functions to ensure compliance with banking laws and regulations.

Our risk management policies and programs includes a risk-based audit program aimed at identifying internal control deficiencies and weaknesses. We have in-depth audits performed by an independent audit firm under the direction of the Director of Internal Audit and supplemented by independent external firms, and periodic monitoring performed by our risk management personnel. Annually, an Audit Plan for the Company is developed and presented for approval to the Audit Committee.

Our risk management team conducts periodic monitoring of our compliance efforts with a special focus on those areas that expose us to compliance risk. The purpose of the periodic monitoring is to verify whether our employees are adhering to established policies and procedures. Any material exceptions identified are brought forward to the appropriate department head, the Audit Committee and the ComplianceBoard Risk Committee.

We recognize that customer complaints can often identify weaknesses in our compliance program which could expose us to risk. Therefore, we attempt to ensure that all complaints are given prompt attention. The CorporateDirector of Compliance Division Manager reviews formal complaints to determine if a significant compliance risk exists and communicates those findings to our ComplianceBoard Risk Committee.

Strategic Risk

Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse decisions or improper implementation of strategic decisions. This risk is a function of the compatibility between an organization’s goals, the resources deployed against those goals and the quality of implementation.

Strategic risks are identified as part of the strategic planning process. Offsite strategic planning sessions, with members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, are held annually. The strategic review consists of an economic assessment, competitive analysis, industry outlook and legislativerisk and regulatory review.

A primary measurement of strategic risk is peer group analysis. Key performance ratios are compared to peer groups consisting of U.S. banks of comparable size and complexity and banks in the Hawaii market to identify any sign of weakness and potential opportunities.

Another measure is the comparison of the actual results of previous strategic initiatives against the expected results established prior to implementation of each strategy.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

Our earnings and capital are sensitive to risk of interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk arises when rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities mature or reprice during different periods or in differing amounts. In the normal course of business, we are subjected to interest rate risk through the activities of making loans and taking deposits, as well as from our investment securities portfolio and other interest-bearing funding sources. Asset/liability management attempts to coordinate our rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities to meet our financial objectives.



Our Asset/Liability Management Policy seeks to maximize the risk-adjusted return to shareholders while maintaining consistently acceptable levels of liquidity, interest rate risk and capitalization. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee, or ALCO, monitors interest rate risk through the use of interest rate sensitivity gap, net interest income and market value of portfolio equity simulation and and various hypothetical interest rate shock analyses.scenarios that may include gradual, immediate or non-parallel rate changes. This process is designed to measure the impact of future changes in interest rates on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity.income. Adverse interest rate risk exposures are managed through the shortening or lengthening of the duration of assets and liabilities.
Interest rate risk can be analyzed by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity gap and changes in the gap over time. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specified time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, the earnings of an institution with a positive gap theoretically may be positively affected due to its interest-earning assets repricing to a greater extent than its interest-bearing liabilities. An adverse impact would be expected for an institution with a negative gap.



The following table sets forth information regarding our interest rate sensitivity gap at December 31, 2019. The assumptions used in determining interest rate sensitivity of various asset and liability products had a significant impact on the resulting table. For purposes of this presentation, assets and liabilities are classified by the earliest repricing date or maturity. All interest-bearing demand and savings balances are included in the three-months-or-less category, even though repricing of these accounts is not contractually required and may not actually occur during that period. Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity or magnitude, and since volatility is subject to change, the interest rate sensitivity gap is only a general indicator of interest rate risk.

ALCO also utilizes a detailed and dynamic simulation model to measure and manage interest rate risk exposures. The monthly simulation process is designedincorporates various assumptions which are believed to measurebe reasonable but may impact results. Key modeling assumptions are made around the impacttiming of futureinterest rate changes, the prepayment of mortgage-related assets, pricing spreads of assets and liabilities and the timing and magnitude of deposit rate changes in relation to changes in the overall level of interest rates on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity and to allow ALCO to model alternative balance sheet strategies.rates.

The following reflects our net interest income sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2019, over a one-year horizon,2022. Net interest income is estimated assuming no balance sheet growth and given bothunder a flat interest rate scenario. The net interest income sensitivity is measured as the change in net interest income in alternate interest rate scenarios as a percentage of the flat rate scenario. The alternate rate scenarios typically assume rates move up or down 100 bp upwardin either a gradual (defined as the stated change over a 12-month period in equal increments) or an instantaneous, parallel fashion.

The table below presents information on financial instruments held that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For purposes of this presentation, expected maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are contractual maturities. Interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, which have indeterminate maturities, are included in the earliest maturity category. The resulting table is based on numerous assumptions including prepayment rates on mortgage-related assets and forecasted market interest rates. This differs from the assumptions used in Table 10 - Maturity Distribution and Sensitivities of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates. See Note 25 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for a discussion of the calculation of fair values.

Maturities and fair values of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities may vary from expectation if actual experience differs from the assumptions used.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent our forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the magnitude and timing of interest rate changes, prepayments on loans and investment securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment of asset and liability cash flows and others.

Liquidity
Our objective in managing liquidity is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in order to economically meet the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals and participate in lending and investment opportunities as they arise. We monitor our liquidity position in relation to changes in loan and deposit balances on a daily basis to assure maximum utilization, maintenance of an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources. Our loan-to-deposit ratio at December 31, 20192022 was 86.9%82.5% compared to 82.4%76.8% at December 31, 2018.2021. Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by unforeseen demands on cash or if our deposit customers withdraw funds due to uncertainties surrounding our financial condition or prospects.
The consolidated statements of cash flows identify the three major categories of sources and uses of cash as operating, investing and financing activities. As presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash provided by operating activities has provided a significant source of funds during the past three years. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $72.2 million in 2019, $103.5 million in 2018, and $96.8 million in 2017. The primary source of cash provided by operating activities continues to be our net operating income, exclusive of non-cash items such as the Provision and asset impairments.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $129.0 million, $211.1 million and $296.1 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Investment securities and lending activities generally comprise the largest components of investing activities, although the level of investment securities activities are impacted by the relationship of loan and deposit growth during the period. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, net loan originations accounted for $237.5 million, $250.2 million and $166.1 million, respectively, of cash used in investing activities. In addition, purchases of portfolio loans totaled $140.1 million, $58.6 million and $83.8 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net proceeds received from sales and maturities of investment securities totaled $253.6 million and $111.2 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, compared to net purchases of investment securities of $47.6 million in 2017. Investing activities included proceeds from sales of foreclosed loans and other real estate of $140 thousand, $46 thousand, and $0.3 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We did not sell any loans originated for investment in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Cash provided by financing activities totaled $57.6 million, $127.6 million, and $197.3 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Deposit activities, borrowings and capital transactions represent the major components of financing activities. In 2019 and 2017, deposits increased by $173.5 million and $348.2 million, respectively, compared to a net decrease in deposits of $9.9 million in 2018. Net cash outflows of short-term debt totaled $47.0 million in 2019 and $103.0 million in 2017, compared to net cash inflows from short-term debt of $165.0 million in 2018. Repayments of long-term debt totaled $20.6 million in 2019. Proceeds from and repayments of long-term debt totaled $50.0 million and $20.6 million in 2018, respectively. There were no net cash inflows or outflows from long-term debt in 2017. As with investment securities, the level of net borrowings is impacted by the levels of loan and deposit growth or contraction during the period. Capital transactions, primarily cash dividends and stock repurchases, totaled $48.3 million, $57.0 million and $47.9 million of cash used in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Core deposits have historically provided us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low cost funds but are subject to competitive pressure in our market. In addition to core deposit funding, we also have access to a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources, which include proceeds from maturities of our investment securities, as well as secondary funding sources such as the FHLB, secured repurchase agreements and the Federal Reserve discount window, available to meet our liquidity needs. While we historically have had access to these other funding sources, continued access to these sources may not be guaranteed and can be restricted in the future as a result of market conditions or the Company's and bank's financial position.

The bank is a member of and maintained a $1.84$2.23 billion line of credit with the FHLB as of December 31, 2019,2022, of which $1.57$2.19 billion remained available as of December 31, 2019.2022. Short-term borrowingsadvances outstanding under this arrangement totaled $150.0 million and $197.0$5.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Long-term debt with the FHLB2022. There were no short-term advances outstanding under this arrangement as of December 31, 20192021. There were no long-term advances with the FHLB outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2018 totaled $50.0 million.2021. FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 20192022 were secured by certain real estate loans with a carrying value of $2.48$3.28 billion in accordance with the collateral provisions of the Advances Pledge and Security Agreement with the FHLB.


72


The FHLB provides standby letters of credit on behalf of the bank to secure certain public deposits. If the FHLB is required to make a payment on a standby letter of credit, the payment amount is converted to an advance at the FHLB. The standby letters of credit issued on our behalf by the FHLB totaled $78.9$36.0 million and $4.6$32.2 million at December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, respectively.

The bank also maintained a line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window of $65.3$75.9 million and $73.9$55.4 million as of December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, respectively. There were no advances outstanding under this arrangement at December 31, 20192022 and 2018.2021. Advances under this arrangement would have been secured by certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a carrying value totaling $126.1$125.0 million. The Federal Reserve does not have the right to sell or repledge these loans. See Note 1110 - Short-Term Borrowings and Note 1211 - Long-Term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for additional information regarding our borrowings.

Our ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity is dependent on our ability to continue to maintain our strong risk profile and capital base. Our liquidity may also be negatively impacted by weakness in the financial markets and industry-wide reductions in liquidity.

Holding Company Liquidity
For the holding company on a stand-alone basis, in 2019, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $62.2 million. The primary source of funds in operating activities included dividends received from the bank of $63.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $69.0 million. The primary use of funds in financing activities included the repurchases of common stock totaling $22.8 million and cash dividends of $25.7 million paid to our common shareholders. In addition, junior subordinated debentures issued by Trust II totaling $20.6 million were repaid in 2019.
In 2018, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $79.8 million. The primary source of funds in operating activities included dividends received from the bank of $82.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $77.6 million. The primary use of funds in financing activities included the repurchases of common stock totaling $32.8 million and cash dividends of $24.1 million paid to our common shareholders. In addition, junior subordinated debentures issued by Trust III totaling $20.6 million were repaid in 2018.

In 2017, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $42.3 million. The primary source of funds in operating activities included dividends received from the bank of $43.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $47.9 million. The primary use of funds in financing activities included the repurchases of common stock totaling $26.6 million and cash dividends of $21.3 million paid to our common shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements to meet the financing needs of our banking customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written, forward foreign exchange contracts, forward interest rate contracts, and interest rate swaps and options.options, and risk participation agreements. These instruments and the related off-balance sheet exposures are discussed in detail in Note 2423 - Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." In the unlikely event that we must satisfy a significant amount of outstanding commitments to extend credit, liquidity will be adversely impacted, as will credit risk. The remaining components of off-balance sheet arrangements, primarily interest rate options and forward interest rate contracts related to our mortgage banking activities, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Central Pacific Financial Corp.
Honolulu, Hawaii

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Central Pacific Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years thenin the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years thenin the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by COSO.

We also have audited the adjustments to the 2017 consolidated financial statements to retrospectively apply the change in accounting principle related to Low Income Housing Tax Credit investments, as described in Note 1. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2017 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2017 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed above and in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for Low Income Housing Tax Credit investments in 2018.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.



Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
76


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit MattersMatter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that werewas communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relaterelates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Allowance for LoanCredit Losses on Loans – Reasonable and Lease LossesSupportable Forecasts - Qualitative Adjustments

As described inRefer to Notes 1 and 54 to the consolidated financial statements the Company’s consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses balance was $47,971,000 at December 31, 2019, which consists of three basic elements: specific reserves for individually impaired loans, a general allowance for loans other than those analyzed as individually impaired, and qualitative adjustments based on environmental and other factors which may be internal or external to the Company. 

The allowance for loan and leasecredit losses on loans is thean accounting estimate of incurredexpected credit losses inherent inover the estimated life of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio, measured at amortized cost, to be presented at the balance sheet date. Thenet amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses is expected to be sufficientcollected. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $63,738,000 as of December 31, 2022.

The allowance for credit losses on loans under the current expected credit loss methodology required by ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, is based on relevant available information about the collectability of cash flows, from internal and external sources, including historical information relating to absorb probable losses incurredpast events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the Company’s expected credit loss estimate. The economic forecast used in the loancurrent expected credit loss methodology includes both National and lease portfolio.Hawaii specific economic indicators. The determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses involves significant assumptions which requireCompany performed a high degree of judgment relatingloss driver analysis to the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and the evaluation of the generaldetermine relevant economic conditions and other qualitative factors and how those assumptions impact probable incurred losses inherent within the loan and lease portfolio.  Changes in these assumptions could haveindicators with a material effect on the Company’s financial results.

Qualitative adjustments, which are addedstrong correlation to the historical loss rates,experience used as the basis for the expected credit loss estimate. Significant management judgments are utilized to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as economic conditions and industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan and lease portfolio, and provide for lossesrequired in the loandevelopment and lease portfolio that may not be reflected and/or capturedapplication of reasonable and supportable forecasts.

We identified reasonable and supportable forecasts used in the historical loss data. The Company primarily bases qualitative adjustments on the following factors including: lending policies, economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentrations and other internal and external factors. The evaluationapplication of these factors results in qualitative adjustments, which contribute significantly to the estimate of the allowance for loan and lease losses. We identified the estimate of the aggregate effect of the qualitative adjustments on the allowance for loan and lease lossesASC 326 as a critical audit matter as it involved especially subjectivebecause of the significant auditor judgement.judgment and audit effort needed to evaluate the judgments made by management, including the need to involve more experienced audit personnel and valuation specialists.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

Testing the effectiveness of controls over the qualitative adjustments,development and application of reasonable and supportable forecasts, including controls addressing:
The completeness and accuracy of the data used as the basis for the qualitative adjustments,
The mathematical accuracy of the qualitative adjustments calculation, and
Management’s judgments related to the data and assumptions used in the determination of qualitative adjustments.
The conceptual design of the reasonable and supportable forecast methodology,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Central Pacific Financial Corp.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited, before the effects of the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in accounting related to investments in low income housing tax credit partnerships described in Note 1, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows of Central Pacific Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). The 2017 consolidated financial statements before the effects of the adjustments described in Note 1 are not presented herein. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements, before the effects of the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in accounting related to investments in low income housing tax credit partnerships described in Note 1, present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Company’s operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in accounting related to investments in low income housing tax credit partnerships described in Note 1 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by other auditors.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CENTRAL PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2022, 2021, and 20172020
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Description of Business

Central Pacific Financial Corp. is a bank holding company. Our principal operating subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank, is a full-service commercial bank with 3527 branches and 7764 ATMs located throughout the state of Hawaii. The bank engages in a broad range of lending activities including originating commercial loans, commercial and residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and consumer loans. The bank also offers a variety of deposit products and services. These include personal and business checking and savings accounts, money market accounts and time certificates of deposit. Other products and services include debit cards, internet banking, mobile banking, cash management services, full-service ATMs, safe deposit boxes, international banking services, night depository facilities, foreign exchange and wire transfers. Wealth management products and services include non-deposit investment products, annuities, insurance, investment management, asset custody and general consultation and planning services.

When we refer to "the Company," "we," "us" or "our," we mean Central Pacific Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries (consolidated). When we refer to "Central Pacific Financial Corp." or to the holding company, we are referring to the parent company on a standalone basis. When we refer to "our bank" or "the bank," we mean "Central Pacific Bank."

The banking business depends on rate differentials, the difference between the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings and the interest rates received on loans extended to customers and investment securities held in our portfolio. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, the earnings and growth of the Company are subject to the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions, including inflation, recession and unemployment.

We have the following 3 reportable segments: (1) Banking Operating Segments

Operations, (2) Treasuryresource allocation and (3) All Others. The Banking Operations segment includes construction and commercial real estate lending, commercial lending, residential mortgage lending, consumer lending, trust services, retail brokerage services, and our retail branch offices, which provide a full range of deposit and loan products, as well as various other banking services. The Treasury segment is responsible for managingfinancial performance are managed by the Company's investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding activities. The All Others segment consists ofExecutive Committee, or its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all activities not captured by the Banking Operations and Treasury segments described above and includes activities such as electronic banking, data processing and management of bank owned properties. For further information, see Note 26 - Segment Information.
Accounting Policy Change and Reclassification

During the fourth quarter of 2018, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for investments in low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") partnerships from the cost method to the proportional amortization method using the practical expedient available under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures", which permits an investor to amortize the initial cost of the investmentfinancial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in proportion to only the tax credits allocated to the investor. We believe the proportional amortization method is preferable because it better reflects the economics of an investment that is made for the primary purpose of receiving tax credits and other tax benefits. In addition to a change in the timing of the recognition of amortization expense on LIHTC investments, amortization expense on LIHTC investments is now reflected in the income tax expense line, which provides users a better understanding of the nature of the returns of such investments, instead of in other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The change did not impact net income, the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows.one reportable segment.



As a result of this accounting policy change, the following presents the effect of the change on our consolidated statements of income for periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2018 that were retrospectively adjusted:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In December 2015, weJanuary 2020, the bank acquired a 50% ownership interest in a mortgage loan origination and brokerage company, One HawaiiOahu HomeLoans, LLC. The bank concluded that the investment metmeets the consolidation requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation."Consolidation". The bank also concluded that the entity metmeets the definition of a variable interest entity and that we wereare the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Accordingly, the investment washas been consolidated into ourthe Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2017. One Hawaiistatements. In March 2022, Oahu HomeLoans, LLC was terminated in 2017, and final payment of taxes and distributions to members was made in March 2018.terminated.

We haveThe bank has 50% ownership interests in three other mortgage loan origination and brokerage companies which are accounted for using the equity method and are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries:entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets: Gentry HomeLoans, LLC, Haseko HomeLoans, LLC and Island Pacific HomeLoans, LLC. We also had a 50% ownership in Pacific Access Mortgage, LLC, which was terminated in 2017, and final payment of taxes and distributions to members was made in March 2018.

As previously discussed we have LIHTCThe bank has low income housing tax credit partnership investments that are now accounted for under the proportional amortization method and are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries. Weentities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company invested $2.0 million in Swell Financial, Inc. ("Swell"), which included $1.5 million in other intangible assets and services provided in exchange for Swell non-voting common stock and $0.5 million in cash in exchange for Swell preferred stock. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Swell launched a consumer banking application that combines checking, credit and more into one integrated account, with Central Pacific Bank serving as the bank sponsor. Swell began with an alpha pilot, where members off its waitlist were invited to sign up for Swell Cash and Credit. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Elevate announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Park Cities Asset Management, LLC, who is also the largest investor in Swell. The Company does not have the ability to exercise

significant influence over Swell and the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. As a result, the Company determined that the cost method of accounting for the investment was appropriate. The investment is included in investments in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In 2021, the Company committed $2.0 million to the JAM FINTOP Banktech Fund, L.P., an investment fund designed to help develop and accelerate technology adoption at community banks across the United States. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the JAM FINTOP Banktech Fund, L.P. and the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. As a result, the Company determined that the cost method of accounting for the investment was appropriate. The investment is included in investment in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also has other non-controlling equity investments in affiliates that are accounted for under the cost method and are also included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries.entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Our investmentsInvestments in unconsolidated subsidiariesentities accounted for under the equity, proportional amortization and cost methods were $0.2$0.1 million, $15.3$40.9 million and $1.6$5.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 20192022 and $0.2 million, $11.6$25.9 million and $2.2$3.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.2021. Our policy for determining impairment of these investments includes an evaluation of whether a loss in value of an investment is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value includes absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. We perform impairmentImpairment tests are performed whenever indicators of impairment are present. If the value of an investment declines and it is considered other than temporary, the investment is written down to its respective fair value in the period in which this determination is made.

The Company sponsors the Central Pacific Bank Foundation, which is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that reflect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance and provision for loan and leasecredit losses, reservesreserve for unfunded loan commitments,credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, deferred income tax assets and income tax expense, valuation of investment securities, mortgage servicing rights and the related amortization thereon, pensionthe liability related to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, and the fair value of certain financial instruments.
 


Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from financial institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds sold and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.
 
Investment Securities
 
Investments in debt securities are designated as trading, available-for-sale ("AFS"), or held-to-maturity (HTM"("HTM"). Investments in debt securities are designated as HTM only if we have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. HTM securities are reported at amortized cost.cost in the consolidated balance sheets. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net income. Debt securities not classified as HTM or trading are classified as AFS and are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, excluded from net income and included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

Transfers of investment securities from AFS to HTM are accounted for at fair value as of the date of the transfer. The difference between the fair value and the par value at the date of transfer is considered a premium or discount and is accounted for accordingly. Any unrealized gain or loss at the date of the transfer is reported in AOCI, and is amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of any premium or discount, and will offset or mitigate the effect on interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount for that HTM security.

84


Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.
The Company classifies its investment securities portfolio into the following major security types: mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”("MBS"), other debt securities and other debtequity securities. The Company’s MBS portfolio is comprised of primarily of residential MBS issued by United States of America ("U.S.") government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The remainder of the MBS portfolio are commercial MBS issued by U.S government entities and agencies (for which there is no minimum credit rating), non-agency residential MBS (which shall havemeet a minimum credit rating of BBB)AAA) and non-agency residential and commercial MBS (which shall meet a minimum credit rating of BBB and meet minimum internal credit guidelines).

The Company’s other debt securities portfolio is comprised of obligations issued by U.S. government entities and agencies, obligations issued by states and political subdivisions (which shall havemeet a minimum credit rating of BBB), and corporate bonds (which shall havemeet a minimum credit rating of BBB-).

Interest income on investment securities includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. We amortize premiums to the earliest call date. We accrete discounts associated with investment securities using the effective interest method over the life of the respective security instrument. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluatesA debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on non-accrual status is reversed against current period interest income. There were no investment securities on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022 and the Company did not reverse any accrued interest against interest income during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Allowance for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"Credit Losses (“ACL”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation, to determine whether the unrealized losses on investment securities, or the decline in their value below amortized cost is "other-than-temporary." The term other-than-temporary is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a general lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. In conducting this assessment, forAFS Debt Securities

AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position we evaluate a number of factors including, but not limited to:
The length of time andare evaluated for impairment at least quarterly. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis;
Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area;
The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;
The payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments;
Failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments;
Any rating changes by a rating agency; and
Recoveries or additional decline in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Management alsoCompany first assesses whether or not it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell athe security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the decline ininvestment security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding impairment charge to earnings is recognized for anticipated credit losses.through net income.

For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amountCompany evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In conducting this assessment for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management evaluates the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTIthe security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors,


which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference betweenexists, the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the investment security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairmentAny unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized through earnings.in AOCI.

TheChanges in the ACL are recorded as a provision (credit) for credit losses. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

As of December 31, 2022, the declines in market valuevalues of investmentour AFS debt securities at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and volatility in the credit and financial markets. Because we have no intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell such securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we do not consider our investmentsbelieve a credit loss exists and an ACL was not recorded.

The Company has made a policy election to be other-than-temporarily impaired.exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of debt securities and report accrued interest receivable together with accrued interest on loans in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $3.1 million and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

ACL for HTM Debt Securities

Management measures expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. For pools of such securities with common risk characteristics, the historical lifetime probability of default and severity of loss in the event of default is derived or obtained from external sources. Expected credit losses for these securities are estimated using a loss rate methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Expected credit loss on each security in the HTM portfolio that do not share common risk characteristics with any of the pools of debt securities is individually measured based on net realizable value, or the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the recorded amortized cost basis of the security.

Securities in the HTM portfolio are issued by or contain collateral issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") and carry implicit guarantees from the U.S. government. Due to the implicit guarantee and the long history of no credit losses, no allowance for credit losses was recorded for these securities.

Accrued interest on HTM debt securities is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities totaled $1.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company did not have any HTM debt securities or accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities as of December 31, 2021.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale consists of the following 2two types: (1) Hawaii residential mortgage loans that are originated with the intent to sell them in the secondary market and (2) non-residential mortgage loans in both Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland that were originated with the intent to be held in our portfolio but were subsequently transferred to the held for sale category. Hawaii residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value on an aggregate basis, while the non-residential Hawaii and U.S. Mainland loans are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value on an individual basis. Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring the Hawaii residential mortgage loans held for sale are deferred and included in the basis for determining the gain or loss on sales of loans held for sale. We report the fair values of the non-residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale net of applicable selling costs on our consolidated balance sheets.

Loans originated with the intent to be held in our portfolio are subsequently transferred to held for sale when our intent to hold for the foreseeable future has changed. At the time of a loan's transfer to the held for sale account, the loan is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Any reduction in the loan's value is reflected as a write-down of the recorded investment resulting in a new cost basis, with a corresponding reduction in the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses.

In subsequent periods, if the fair value of a loan classified as held for sale is less than its cost basis, a valuation adjustment is recognized in our consolidated statement of income in other operating expense and the carrying value of the loan is adjusted accordingly. The valuation adjustment may be recovered in the event that the fair value increases, which is also recognized in our consolidated statement of income in other operating expense.

The fair value of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans. Collateral values are determined based on appraisals received from qualified valuation professionals and are obtained periodically or when indicators that property values may be impaired are present.

We sell residential mortgage loans under industry standard contractual provisions that include various representations and warranties, which typically cover ownership of the loan, compliance with loan criteria set forth in the applicable agreement, validity of the lien securing the loan, and other similar matters. We may be required to repurchase certain loans sold with identified defects, indemnify the investor, or reimburse the investor for any credit losses incurred. Our repurchase risk generally relates to early payment defaults and borrower fraud. We establish residential mortgage repurchase reserves to reflect this risk based on our estimate of losses after considering a combination of factors, including our estimate of future repurchase activity and our projection of incurredestimated credit losses resulting from repurchased loans.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are statedreported at amortized cost, net of the ACL. Amortized cost is the unpaid principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized purchase premiums and discounts, unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs and unamortized purchasecumulative principal charge-offs. Purchase premiums and discounts. Net deferred loandiscounts are generally amortized into interest income over the contractual terms of the underlying loans using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, andnet of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield and are amortized using the interest method over the contractual termsterm of the underlying loan, adjusted for actual prepayments. UnamortizedDeferred loan origination fees and costs on loans paid in full are recognized as a component of interest income on loans. Purchase premiums and discounts are generally amortized into interest income using the interest method over the contractual terms of the underlying loans.

Interest income on loans is accrued at the contractual rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance. Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $16.0 million and $12.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is reported together with accrued interest on investments in AFS debt securities on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” the Company made the accounting policy election to not measure an estimate of credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company writes off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner.



Nonaccrual Loans

The Company determines delinquency status by considering the number of days full payments required by the contractual terms of the loan are past due. LoansCommercial, scored small business, automobile and other consumer loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal and/or interest payments are 90 days past due, or earlier should management determine that the borrowers will be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations, unless the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Residential mortgage and home equity loans, are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal and/or interest payments are 120 days past due, or earlier should management determine that the borrowers will be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations, unless the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income should management determine that the collectibilitycollectability of such accrued interest is doubtful. All subsequent receipts are applied to principal outstanding and 0no interest income is recognized unless the financial condition and payment record of the borrowers warrant such recognition and the loan is restored to accrual status. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are current for a predetermined period, normally at least six months, and full payment of principal and interest is reasonably assured.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”)

A loan is accounted for and reported as a TDR when for economic or legal reasons,two conditions are met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) the Company grants a concession to athe borrower experiencing financial difficulty that it would not otherwise consider.consider for a borrower or transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. A restructuring that results in only an insignificant delay in payment is not considered a concession. A delay may be considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay are insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or collateral value and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period is insignificant relative to the frequency of payments, the debt’s original contractual maturity or original expected duration.

TDRs that are performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remain on accrual status. TDRs that are nonperforming as of the date of modification generally remain as nonaccrual until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement is reasonably assured, generally demonstrated when the borrower maintains compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, normally at least six months. TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remain designated as a TDR regardless of the accrual or performance status until the loan is paid off. However, if

Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective (pool) basis when they share similar risk characteristics. If a TDR financial asset shares similar risk characteristics with other financial assets, it is evaluated with those other financial assets on a collective basis. If it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets, it is evaluated individually. The Company’s ACL reflects all effects of a TDR when an individual asset is specifically identified as a reasonably expected TDR. The Company has determined that a TDR is reasonably expected no later than the TDR loan has beenpoint when the lender concludes that modification is the best course of action and it is at least reasonably possible that the troubled borrower will accept some form of concession from the lender to avoid a default. Reasonably expected TDRs and executed TDRs are evaluated to determine the required ACL using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except when the value of a concession cannot be measured using a method other than the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the ACL is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original interest rate of the loan.

Based on the underlying risk characteristics, TDRs performing in accordance with their modified in a subsequent restructure with marketcontractual terms and the borrower is not currently experiencing financial difficulty, then the loan may be de-designated as a TDR.collectively evaluated.
 
AllowanceACL for Loan and Lease LossesLoans

The allowanceUnder the current expected credit loss methodology, the ACL for loan and lease losses (the "Allowance")loans is a valuation allowance established through provisions for loan and lease losses (the "Provision") charged against income.account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Our policy is to charge off a loan off in the period in which the loan is deemed to be uncollectible and all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. We consider a loan to be uncollectible when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the loss. In these instances, the likelihood of and/or timeframe for recovery of the amount due is uncertain, weak, or protracted. Subsequent receipts, if any, are credited first to the remaining principal, then to the AllowanceACL for loans as recoveries, and finally to unaccrued interest.

The Allowance isACL for loans represents management's estimate of incurredall expected credit losses inherentover the expected life of our existing loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information about the collectability of cash flows, from internal and external sources, including historical information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. When the Company is unable to forecast future economic events, management may revert to historical information.

The Company's methodologies incorporate a reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year and revert to historical loss information on a straight-line basis over one year when its forecast is no longer deemed reasonable and supportable.

The Company maintains an ACL at an appropriate level as of a given balance sheet date to absorb management’s best estimate of expected life of loan credit losses.

Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the Company’s expected credit loss estimate. Adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in ourcurrent loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, or when historical asset terms do not reflect the contractual terms of the financial assets being evaluated.

The ACL methodology may also consider other adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as local industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio and leaseprovide for losses in the loan portfolio that may not be reflected and/or captured in the historical loss data. These factors include: lending policies, imprecision in forecasting future economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentration and other internal and external factors.

The Company uses the Moody’s Analytics Baseline forecast for its economic forecast consideration. The Moody’s Analytics Baseline forecast includes both National and Hawaii specific economic indicators. The Moody’s Analytics forecast service is widely used in the industry and is reasonable and supportable. It is updated at least monthly and includes a variety of upside and downside economic scenarios from the Baseline. Generally the Company will use the most recent Baseline forecast from Moody’s as of the balance sheet date. In determiningDuring times of economic and market volatility or instability, the amountCompany may include a qualitative factor for forecast imprecision that factors in other potential economic scenarios available by Moody’s Analytics or may apply overrides to its statistical models to enhance the reasonableness of its loss estimates.

The ACL is measured on a collective or pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company segments its portfolio generally by Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") Call Report codes. Loan pools are further segmented by risk utilizing risk ratings or bands of payment delinquency (including TDR or non-accrual status), depending on what is most appropriate for each segment. Additional sub-segmentation may be utilized to identify groups of loans with unique risk characteristics relative to the rest of the portfolio.

The Company relies on a third-party platform which offers multiple methodologies to measure historical life-of-loan losses. The Company has also developed statistical models internally to incorporate future economic conditions and forecast expected credit losses based on various macro-economic indicators such as unemployment and income levels.

The Company has identified the following portfolio segments to measure the allowance for credit losses. For all segments the economic forecast length is one year and reversion method is one year.

Below is a description and the risk characteristics of each segment:

Construction loans

Construction loans include both residential and commercial development projects. Each construction project is evaluated for economic viability and construction loans pose higher credit risks than typical secured loans. Financial strength of the borrower, completion risk (the risk that the project will not be completed on time and within budget) and geographic location are the predominant risk characteristics of this segment.

Commercial real estate loans

Commercial real estate loans are secured by commercial properties. The predominant risk characteristic of this segment is operating risk, which is the risk that the borrower will be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from the operation of the property. Interest rate conditions and the commercial real estate market through economic cycles also impact risk levels.

Multi-family mortgage loans

Multi-family mortgage loans can comprise multi-building properties with extensive amenities to a single building with no amenities. The primary risk characteristic of this segment is operating risk or the ability to generate sufficient rental cash flows from the operation of the property.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans

Loans in this category consist primarily of term loans and lines of credit to small and middle-market businesses and professionals. The predominant risk characteristics of this segment are the cash flows of the business we lend to, global cash flows including guarantor liquidity, as well as economic and market conditions. The borrower’s business is typically regarded as the principal source of repayment, though our Allowance, we relyunderwriting policy and practice generally requires secondary sources of support or collateral to mitigate risk.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans are also in this category and are considered lower risk as they are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") and may be forgivable in whole or in part in accordance with the requirements of the PPP.

Residential mortgage loans

Residential mortgage loans include fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans primarily secured by single-family owner-occupied primary residences in Hawaii. Economic conditions such as unemployment levels, future changes in interest rates and other market factors impact the level of credit risk inherent in the portfolio.

89


Home equity lines of credit

Home equity lines of credit include fixed or floating interest rate loans and are secured by single-family owner-occupied primary residences in Hawaii. They are underwritten based on an analysisa minimum FICO score, maximum debt-to-income ratio, and maximum combined loan-to-value ratio. Home equity lines of our loan portfolio, our experiencecredit are monitored based on credit score, delinquency, end of draw period and our evaluationmaturity.

Consumer loans - other revolving

This segment consists of generalconsumer unsecured lines of credit. Its predominant risk characteristics relate to current and projected economic conditions as well as regulatory requirements. We maintain our Allowance at an amount we expectemployment and income levels attributed to be sufficientthe borrower.

Consumer loans - non-revolving
This segment consists of consumer non-revolving loans, including dealer loans. Its predominant risk characteristics relate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loancurrent and lease portfolioprojected economic conditions as well as employment and income levels attributed to the borrower.

Purchased consumer portfolios

Credit risk for purchased consumer loans is managed on a pooled basis. The predominant risk characteristics of purchased consumer loans include current and projected economic conditions, employment and income levels, and the quality of purchased consumer loans.

Below is a description of the methodologies mentioned above:

Probability of Default ("PD")/Loss Given Default ("LGD")

The PD/LGD calculation is based on a projectioncohort methodology whereby loans in the same cohort are tracked over time to identify defaults and corresponding losses. PD/LGD analysis requires a portfolio segmented into pools, and we elected to then further sub-segment by risk characteristics such as Risk Rating, TDR status and nonaccrual status to measure losses accurately. PD measures the count or dollar amount of probable net loan charge-offs.

The Company's approach to developingloans that defaulted in a given cohort. LGD measures the Allowance has three basic elements. These elements include specific reserves for individually impaired loans, a general allowance for loans other than those analyzed as individually impaired, and qualitative adjustments based on environmental and other factors which may be internal or externallosses related to the Company. These 3 elements are explained below.
Specific Reserve
Individually impaired loans in all loan categories are evaluated using one of three valuation methods as prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-10, Fair Value of Collateral, Observable Market Price, or Cash Flow. A loan is generally evaluated for impairment on an individual basis if it meets one or more of the following characteristics: risk-rated as substandard, doubtful or loss, loans on nonaccrual status, troubled debt restructures, or any loan deemed prudent by management to so analyze. If the valuation of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the Allowance or, alternatively, a specific reserve will be established and included in the overall Allowance balance.



General Allowance

In determining the general allowance component of the Allowance, the Company utilizes a comprehensive approach to segment the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups. The Company's methodology segments the portfolio generally by FDIC Call Report codes in 11 segments, and is consistent with general industry practice. For the purpose of determining general allowance loss factors, loss experience is derived from a migration analysis, with the exception of national syndicated loans and auto dealer purchased loans where an average historicalthat defaulted. Total loss rate is calculated using the formula, "PD times LGD".

Loss-Rate Migration

Loss-rate migration analysis is a cohort-based approach that measures cumulative net charge-offs over a defined time-horizon to calculate a loss rate that will be applied to the loan pool. Loss-rate migration analysis requires the portfolio to be segmented into pools then further sub-segmented by risk characteristics such as days past due, delinquency counters, TDR status and nonaccrual status to limited historicalmeasure loss experience.rates accurately. The key inputs to run a loss-rate migration analysis are the length and frequency of the migration period, the dates for the migration periods to start and the number of migration periods used for the analysis. For each migration period, the analysis will determine the outstanding balance in each segment and/or sub-segment at the start of each period. These loans will then be followed for the length of the migration period to identify the amount of associated charge-offs and recoveries. A loss rate for each migration period is calculated using the formula, ‘net"net charge-offs over the period divided by beginning loan balance'balance".

Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity ("WARM")

Under the WARM methodology, lifetime losses are calculated by determining the remaining life of the loan pool and then applying a loss rate which includes a forecast component over this remaining life. The Allowance methodology appliesconsiders historical loss experience as well as a look back periodloss forecast expectation to January 1, 2010. estimate credit losses for the remaining balance of the loan pool. The calculated loss rate is applied to the contractual term (adjusted for prepayments) to determine the loan pool’s current expected credit losses.

Other

If a loan ceases to share similar risk characteristics with other loans in its segment, it will be moved to a different pool sharing similar risk characteristics. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis based on the fair value of the collateral or other approaches such as discounted cash flow (“DCF”) techniques. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation.

90


Determining the Term

Expected credit losses represent life-of-loan loss estimates and are calculated based on the estimated remaining life of the loans which considers the contractual term of the loans, prepayments and other assumptions. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. If such renewal options or extensions are present, these options are evaluated in determining the contractual term.

Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company extends its look back periodmaintains a separate and distinct reserve for off-balance-sheet credit exposures which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor for letters of credit, non-revolving lines of credit, and revolving lines of credit over the remaining life during which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit.

Letters of credit are generally unlikely to advance since they are typically in place only to ensure various forms of performance of the borrowers. Many of the letters of credit are cash secured. Non-revolving lines of credit are determined to be likely to advance as these are typically construction lines. Meanwhile, the likelihood of revolving lines of credit advancing varies with each additional quarter passing. Asindividual borrower. Therefore, the future usage of December 31, 2019,each line was estimated based on the look back period was ten years.average line utilization of the revolving line of credit portfolio as a whole.

Qualitative Adjustments

Our AllowanceThe estimate also applies the loss factors for each loan type used in the ACL for loans methodology, uses qualitative adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such aswhich is based on historical losses, economic conditions and industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio,reasonable and provide for losses in the loan portfolio that may not be reflected and/or captured in the historical loss data. In order to ensure that the qualitative adjustments are in compliance with current regulatory standards and U.S. GAAP, the Company is primarily basing adjustments on the nine standard factors outlined in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. These factors include: lending policies, economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentrations and other internal and external factors.

In recognizing that current and relevant environmental (economic, market or other) conditions that can affect repayment may not yet be fully reflected in historical loss experience, qualitative adjustments are applied to factor in current loan portfolio and market intelligence. These adjustments, which are added to the historical loss rate, consider the nature of the Company's primary markets and are reasonable, consistently determined and appropriately documented. Management reviews the results of the qualitative adjustment quarterly to ensure it is consistent with the trends in the overall economy, and from time to time may make adjustments, if necessary, to ensure directional consistency.
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
Our process for determining the reserve for unfunded loan commitments utilizes historical loss rates and is adjusted for estimated loan funding probabilities.supportable forecasts. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is recorded separately through a valuation allowance included in other liabilities. Credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures are deducted fromis adjusted as a provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures. In 2021, the allowanceprovision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was reclassified from other operating expense and is now included in the period in which the liability is settled. The allowanceprovision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit losses is established by a chargein the consolidated statements of income. The consolidated statements of income in prior periods have been adjusted retrospectively to other operating expense.reflect this change.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are included in other operating expense and are computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the applicable leases. Useful lives generally range from five to thirty-nine years for premises and improvements, and one to seven years for equipment. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized, while recurring maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense. Net gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equipment are included in other operating income and operating expense.



Other Real Estate

Other real estate is composed of properties acquired through deed-in-lieu or foreclosure proceedings and is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell the property, thereby establishing the new cost basis of other real estate. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the Allowance.ACL. Subsequent to acquisition, such properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling expenses, determined on an individual asset basis. Any deficiency resulting from the excess of cost over fair value less estimated selling expenses is recognized as a valuation allowance. Any subsequent increase in fair value up to its cost basis is recorded as a reduction of the valuation allowance. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expense. Net gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in other operating income.

Core Deposit Premium and Mortgage Servicing Rights
Our core deposit premium was amortized over 14 years which approximated the estimated life of the purchased deposits. 2018 was the final year of amortization. The carrying value of our core deposit premium was periodically evaluated to estimate the remaining periods of benefit. If these periods of benefit were determined to be less than the remaining amortizable life, an adjustment to reflect such shorter life would have been made.

Mortgage servicing rights are recorded when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained and we classify and pool our mortgage servicing rights into buckets of homogeneous characteristics. We utilize the amortization method to measure our mortgage servicing rights. Under the amortization method, we amortize our mortgage servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new mortgage servicing rights is reported as gains on sales of loans and is a component of mortgage banking income in the other operating income section of our consolidated statements of income. Amortization of the servicing rights is also reported as a component of mortgage banking income. Ancillary income is recorded in other income.

91


Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider based on market value assumptions at the time of origination and we assess the servicing right for impairment using current market value assumptions at each reporting period. Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service and ancillary income.servicing income and costs. Variations in our assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market value assumptions based on loan product types (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate and balloongovernment FHA loans) include average discount rates, servicing cost and ancillary income. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. Our mortgage servicing rights portfolio and valuation assumptions are periodically reviewed by management.

Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as home price appreciation, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations.

We perform an impairment assessment of our mortgage servicing rights quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Our impairment assessments involve, among other valuation methods, the estimation of future cash flows and other methods of determining fair value. Estimating future cash flows and determining fair values isare subject to judgments and often involvesinvolve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The variability of the factors we use to perform our impairment tests depend on a number of conditions, including the uncertainty about future events and cash flows. All such factors are interdependent and, therefore, do not change in isolation. Accordingly, our accounting estimates may materially change from period to period due to changing market factors.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB"). The bank is required to obtain and hold a specific number of shares of capital stock of the FHLB equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. The securities are reported at cost and are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets. 



Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest wasis comprised of capital and undistributed profits of the member of One HawaiiOahu HomeLoans, LLC, other than the bank. One Hawaii HomeLoans, LLC was terminated in 2017, and final payment of taxes and distributions to members was made in March 2018. As a result, non-controllingNon-controlling interest on our consolidated balance sheet totaled $0$48 thousand at December 31, 2019 and2021. In March 2022, Oahu HomeLoans, LLC was terminated. As a result, the Company did not hold any non-controlling interest on its consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018.2022.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock options, and the market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date for restricted stock awards. Share-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, we recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting period. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur. See Note 1615 - Share-Based Compensation for further discussion of our stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. A valuation allowance may be required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, we consider the level of taxable income in prior years, to the extent that carrybacks are permitted under current tax laws, as well as estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to accelerate taxable income, if necessary. If our estimates of future taxable income were materially overstated or if our assumptions regarding the tax consequences of tax planning strategies were inaccurate, some or all of our deferred tax assets may not be realized, which would result in a charge to earnings. Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) are included in other assets (liabilities) in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in other expense.

We establish income tax contingency reserves for potential tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Tax benefits are recognized when we determine that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Where uncertainty exists due to the complexity of income tax statutes, and where the potential tax amounts are significant, we generally seek independent tax opinions to support our positions. If our evaluation of the likelihood of the realization of benefits is inaccurate, we could incur additional income tax and interest expense that would adversely impact earnings, or we could receive tax benefits greater than anticipated which would positively impact earnings.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and stock awards, less shares held in a Rabbi trust pursuant to a deferred compensation plan for directors. As of December 31, 2022, the Company no longer has any shares held in a Rabbi trust pursuant to a deferred compensation plan for directors.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

We are periodically a party to a limited amount of forward foreign exchange contracts to satisfy customer needs for foreign currencies. These contracts are not utilized for trading purposes and are carried at market value, with realized gains and losses included in fees on foreign exchange.


Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of an identified asset or liability ("fair value hedge"), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to an identified asset or liability ("cash flow hedge") or (3) a transaction not qualifying for hedge accounting ("free standing derivative"). For a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative and, to the extent that it is effective, changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability, attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period net income in the same financial statement category as the hedged item. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative, to the extent that it is effective, is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). These changes in fair value are subsequently reclassified to net income in the same period(s) that the hedged transaction affects net income in the same financial statement category as the hedged item. For free standing derivatives, changes in fair values are reported in current period other operating income.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 20192022

In February 2016,May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,No. 2021-04, "LeasesEarnings Per Share (Topic 842)260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options"." ASU 2016-02 increases transparency2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU lease asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leasesinterim periods within those fiscal years, with a term of longer than 12 months. The FASB has also made available several practical expedients to assist entities with theearly adoption of ASU 2016-02. Among other things, these practical expedients require no reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases as well as no reassessment of lease classification for current leases. In July 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements," which adds an additional practical expedient that allows entities to elect not to recast comparative periods presented when transitioning to Topic 842. The Company elected to adopt the practical expedient allowed under ASU 2018-11. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company engaged a software vendor to assist in the implementation of ASU 2016-02.permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-022021-04 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach2022 and recorded a ROU lease asset and corresponding lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet of $55.9 million for its operating leases where it is a lessee. There was no impact to the Company's financial statements for its leases where it is a lessor. As of December 31, 2019, the ROU lease asset and lease liability was $52.3 million and $52.6 million, respectively. See Note 19 - Operating Leases for required disclosures on this new standard.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." ASU 2017-12 was issued to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The FASB believes that such amendments will: 1) improve the transparency of information about an entity’s risk management activities and 2) simplify the application of hedge accounting. The ASU allows an entity that qualifies for the last-of-layer method a one-time opportunity to reclassify securities from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019 and transferred its entire held-to-maturity investment securities portfolio with a fair value of $144.3 million at January 1, 2019 to the available-for-sale portfolio. On the date of adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment related to the unrealized loss on the investment securities transferred, which decreased available-for-sale investments by $4.2 million, increased deferred tax assets by $1.1 million, and decreased opening accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") by $3.1 million. The ASU did not have a material impact on our current derivative activities.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which requires an entity in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. Capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same line item on the balance sheet as amounts prepaid for the hosted service, if any (generally as an “other asset”). The capitalized costs will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, with the amortization expense being presented in the same income statement line item as the fees paid for the hosted service. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-15 during the second quarter of 2019. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements as the Company does not have any freestanding equity-classified written call options.


In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, "Leases (Topic 842), Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments". ASU 2021-05 updates guidance in Topic 842 to restore long-standing accounting practice for certain sales-type leases with variable payments. ASU 2021-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-05 effective January 1, 2022 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have sale-type leases with variable payments.

Impact of Other Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements on Future Filings

In June 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)"Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Entities can (1) elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also
93


(2) elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Finally, entities can (3) make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity (“HTM”) debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 326): Measurement848)", which clarifies that all derivative instruments affected by the changes to interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment, regardless of Credit Losses on Financial Instrumentswhether they reference LIBOR or another rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform, an entity may apply certain practical expedients in Topic 848. ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01 are elective and can be adopted between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, ",Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", which extends the temporary relief provision period and allows companies to defer the adoption to December 31, 2024. The Company will elect optional expedients above for applicable contract modifications and hedge accounting for hedging relationships that meet the stated criteria. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, "Derivatives and subsequent amendmentsHedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method". ASU 2022-01 updates guidance in Topic 815, to expand the guidance, ASU 2019-04 in April 2019 and ASU 2019-05 in May 2019. The standard significantly changes how entitiescurrent last-of-layer method, which will measure credit lossesallow multiple hedged layers to be designated for mosta single closed portfolio of financial assets and certain otheror one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of financial instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s “incurred loss” guidance delays the recognition of credit losses on loans, leases, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees, and instead provides for a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. CECL requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, this guidance modifies the accounting treatment for other-than-temporary impairment for available-for-sale debt securities. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation methods are appropriate for their circumstances. This guidance requires entities to record a cumulative effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. However, an organization may elect to phase in the regulatory capital impact over a three-year transition period if adoption of the new standard results in a reduction of retained earnings. This updateprospective basis. ASU 2022-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU and its effects on our consolidated financial statements. However, we currently do not use the last-of-layer hedge accounting method.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures". ASU 2022-02 updates guidance in Topic 326, to eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, "Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors", while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and to require entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU and its effects on our consolidated financial statements and plans on making the adoption for the upcoming effective interim period.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions". ASU 2022-03, (1) clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) amends a related illustrative example, and (3) introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with earlierearly adoption permitted. As such, theThe Company will implement CECL for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 and intends to elect to phaseis in the regulatory capitalprocess of evaluating the impact over a three-year transition period. The new guidance will require significant operational changes, particularly in existing processes, data collection and analysis.of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company has formed a steering committee that is responsible for oversight of the Company’s implementation strategy for compliance with provisions of the new standard. The Company has also established a project management governance process to manage the implementation across affected disciplines. To date, the Company has established appropriate loan pools by segmentamortized cost, gross unrealized gains and sub-segment, developed internal loss driver models,losses, fair value and has leveraged a third-party software solution to measure expected losses under CECL. As part of this process, the Company has also engaged an additional third party specializing in economic forecasting to enable it to incorporate reasonable and supportable forecasts in its process. Finally, the Company has developed and enhanced internal controls, had its CECL framework independently validated by a third-party expert, and has performed parallel runs. While the CECL implementation effort is near completion, the Company is unable to determine the final adoption impact on our consolidated financial statements as certain internal controls over the calculation and inputs have not yet fully operated. Additional work will be completed on internal controls over significant assumptions utilized. However, based on preliminary analyses completed thus far, management estimates itsrelated allowance for credit losses including reserves for unfunded commitments, to increase by roughly 0%-15%. The foregoing range is based on the Company's calculation modelsheld-to-maturity ("HTM") and the underlying assumptions embedded in its methodology, including economic forecasts and sensitivity analyses. The final calculation, including assumptions, economic forecasts and inputs are subject to change based on the final completion of all internal controls and related testing.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The ASU is part of the FASB's disclosure framework project to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The ASU modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 and is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Based on preliminary evaluation, the ASU will not have a material impact on disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." Like ASU 2018-13, this ASU is part of the FASB's disclosure framework project. This ASU modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. Based on preliminary evaluation, the ASU will not have a material impact on disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

2. RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
The bank is required by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to maintain reserves based on the amount of deposits held. The amount held as a reserve by our bank at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $58.7 million and $62.9 million, respectively.

As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on January 1, 2019 in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2017-12,In March 2022, the Company transferred all of its held-to-maturity41 investment securities withthat were classified as AFS to HTM. The investment securities had an amortized cost basis of $148.5$361.8 million and a fair market value of $144.3 million$329.5 million. On the date of transfer, these securities had a total net unrealized loss of $32.3 million. There was no impact to its available-for-salenet income as a result of the reclassification.

In May 2022, the Company transferred 40 investment securities portfolio.that were classified as AFS to HTM. The investment securities had an amortized cost basis of $400.9 million and a fair market value of $343.7 million. On the date of transfer, these securities had a total net unrealized loss of $57.2 million. There was no impact to net income as a result of the reclassification.

These transfers were executed to mitigate the potential future impact to capital through accumulated other comprehensive loss in consideration of a rising interest rate environment and the impact of rising rates on the market value of the investment securities. The Company believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity for future business needs and it has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of our investment securities at December 31, 20192022 by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities as issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There are different types of risk characteristics for the loans in each portfolio segment. The construction and real estate segment's predominant risk characteristics are the collateral and the geographic location of the property collateralizing the loan, as well as the operating cash flow for the commercial real estate properties. The commercial, financial and agricultural (and leases) segment's predominant risk characteristics are the cash flows of the business we lend to, the global cash flows and liquidity of the guarantors of such losses, as well as economic and market conditions. The consumer segment's predominant risk characteristics are employment and income levels as they relate to the consumer.

In April 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act added an additional round of funding for the PPP.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases as toby credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, and leases, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:rating of loans:

Special Mention. Loans and leases classified as special mention, while still adequately protected by the borrower's capital adequacy and payment capability, exhibit distinct weakening trends and/or elevated levels of exposure to external conditions. If left unchecked or uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deteriorated prospects of repayment. These exposures require management's close attention so as to avoid becoming undue or unwarranted credit exposures.

Substandard. Loans and leases classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans and leases classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimate loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.


Loss. Loans and leases classified as loss are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible.
102



Loans and leases not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass ratedpass-rated loans.

[1] In 2020, the Company recorded a reserve on accrued interest receivable for loans on active payment forbearance or deferral, which were granted to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This reserve was recorded as a contra-asset against accrued interest receivable with the offset to provision for credit losses. Due to the significant decline in loans on active forbearance or deferral, the Company reversed the $0.2 million reserve during the second quarter of 2021 and no longer has a reserve on accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The provision for credit losses presented in this table excludes the provision (credit) for credit losses on accrued interest receivable of $0.2 million.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company invested $2.0 million in Swell Financial, Inc. ("Swell"), which included $1.5 million in other intangible assets and services provided in exchange for Swell non-voting common stock and $0.5 million in cash in exchange for Swell preferred stock. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Swell launched a consumer banking application that combines checking, credit and more into one integrated account, with Central Pacific Bank serving as the bank sponsor. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Swell and the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. As a result, the Company determined that the cost method of accounting for the investment was appropriate. The investment is included in investments in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In 2021, the Company committed $2.0 million in the JAM FINTOP Banktech Fund, L.P., an investment fund designed to help develop and accelerate technology adoption at community banks across the United States. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the JAM FINTOP Banktech Fund, L.P. and the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. As a result, the Company determined that the cost method of accounting for the investment was appropriate. The investment is included in investment in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an unfunded commitment of $1.3 million related to the investment, which is expected to be paid in 2023. The unfunded commitment is included in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The Company invests in low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") partnerships. As of December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, the Company had $11.5$23.6 million and $8.3$14.3 million, respectively, in unfunded commitments related to the LIHTC partnerships, which is recordedincluded in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Total commitments$11,462

follows:
Prior to 2018, the Company's investments in LIHTC partnerships were accounted for using the cost method. In 2018, the Company voluntarily changed its accounting policy for LIHTC partnerships from the cost method to the proportional amortization method using the practical expedient available under ASC 323, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures", which permits an investor to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to only the tax credits allocated to the investor. The Company believes the proportional amortization method is preferable because it better reflects the economics of an investment that is made for the primary purpose of receiving tax credits and other tax benefits. In addition to a change in the timing of the recognition of amortization expense on LIHTC investments, amortization expense on LIHTC investments is now reflected in the income tax expense line, which provides users a better understanding of the nature of the returns of such investments, instead of in other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

The Company utilizes the amortization method to measure our mortgage servicing rights. Under the amortization method, we amortize our mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new mortgage servicing rights is reported as a component of mortgage banking income and totaled $1.6$0.6 million, $1.6$1.3 million, and $2.4$3.3 million in 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively. Amortization of the servicing rights is reported as a component of mortgage banking income in ourthe Company's consolidated statements of income. Ancillary income is recorded in other income. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained, and we classifyare classified and pool our mortgage servicing rightspooled into buckets of homogeneous characteristics.


Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider based on market value assumptions at the time of origination and we assess theorigination. The servicing right is assessed for impairment using current market value assumptions at each reporting period. Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service and ancillary income.servicing income and costs. Variations in our assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market value assumptions based on loan product types (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate and balloongovernment FHA loans) include average discount rates, servicing costs and ancillary income. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. OurThe Company's mortgage servicing rights portfolio and valuation assumptions are periodically reviewed by management.

Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as home price appreciation, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations. As market interest rates decline, prepayment speeds will generally increase as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As prepayment speeds increase, anticipated cash flows will generally decline resulting in a potential reduction, or impairment, to the fair value of the capitalized mortgage servicing rights. Alternatively, an increase in market interest rates may cause a decrease in prepayment speeds and therefore an increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

8. DERIVATIVES
 
We utilizeThe Company utilizes various designated and undesignated derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to movements in interest rates including interest rate swaps, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale commitments. We measure allrates. All derivatives are measured at fair value on ourthe Company's consolidated balance sheet. AtIn each reporting period, we record the derivative instruments in other assets or other liabilities depending on whether the derivatives are in an asset or liability position. For derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments, we record the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative in AOCI, net of tax, is recorded until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. We immediately recognize theThe portion of the gain or loss in the fair value of the derivative that represents hedge ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in current period earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivative are included in current period earnings. WeIn 2022, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap designated as a fair value hedge of certain municipal securities. The Company had 0no derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.2021.

Interest Rate Lock and Forward Sale Commitments

We enterThe Company enters into interest rate lock commitments on certain mortgage loans that are intended to be sold. To manage interest rate risk on interest rate lock commitments, wethe Company also enterenters into forward loan sale commitments. The interest rate lock and forward loan sale commitments are accounted for as undesignated derivatives and are recorded at their respective fair values in other assets or other liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. These instruments serve to reduce our exposure to movements in interest rates. At December 31, 2019, we were a2022 and 2021, the Company was party to interest rate lock and forward sale commitments on $0.6$1.1 million and $9.0$3.5 million of mortgage loans, respectively. AtAs of December 31, 2018, we were a party to2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate lock and forward sale commitments on $2.2mortgage loans.

Risk Participation Agreements

In the first and fourth quarters of 2020, the Company entered into credit risk participation agreements ("RPA") with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which the Company participates. The risk participation agreements entered into by us as a participant bank provide credit protection to the financial institution counterparties should the borrowers fail to perform on their interest rate derivative contracts with the financial institutions.

Back-to-Back Swap Agreements

The Company established a program whereby it originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap with the customer. The Company also enters into an equal and offsetting swap with a highly rated third-party financial institution. These "back-to-back swap agreements"are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. These back-to-back swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in other assets or other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, with changes recorded in current period earnings. The Company did not enter into any swap agreements with its borrowers and third party financial institutions during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into swap agreements with its borrowers with a total notional amount of $33.1 million, offset by swap agreements with third party financial institutions with a total notional amount of $33.1 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company pledged $10.0 million in cash as collateral for the back-to-back swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps

During the first quarter of 2022, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap, with an effective date of March 31, 2024. This transaction had a notional amount totaling $115.5 million as of December 31, 2022, and $8.5 millionwas designated as a fair value hedge of mortgage loans, respectively.certain municipal debt securities. The Company will pay the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.095% and will receive a floating rate based on the Federal Funds effective rate. The fair value hedge has a maturity date of March 31, 2029. The interest rate swap is carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at its fair value in other assets (when the fair value is positive) or in other liabilities (when the fair value is negative). The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in interest income. The unrealized gains or losses due to changes in fair value of the hedged debt securities due to changes in benchmark interest rates are recorded as an adjustment to the hedged debt securities and offset in the same interest income line item.

Trust II issued $0.6 million of common securities to the Company.
On November 13, 2018, the Company submitted a notice to the trustee and security holder to redeem, in whole and at par, the $20.0 million of trust preferred securities issued by Trust II. The trust preferred securities were redeemed, along with the $0.6 million in common securities issued by Trust II and held by the Company, as a result of the concurrent redemption of 100% of the Company's outstanding floating rate junior subordinated debentures held by Trust II, which underlay the trust preferred securities. The redemption was pursuant to the optional prepayment provisions of the indenture and occurred on January 7, 2019. The redemption price for the floating rate junior subordinated debentures was equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest, up to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption of the floating rate junior subordinated debentures was simultaneously applied to redeem all of the outstanding floating rate trust preferred securities at a price of 100% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the securities plus accumulated but unpaid distributions up to but not including the redemption date.

The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of Trusts II, III, IV and V, therefore the trusts are not considered a variable interest entity and are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. Rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company's investment in the common securities of the trusts are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiariesentities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The floating rate trust preferred securities, the junior subordinated debentures that are the assets of Trusts IV and V and the common securities issued by Trusts IV and V are redeemable in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after December 15, 2009 for Trust IV and V, or at any time in whole but not in part within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events. Our obligations with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust's obligations with respect to its trust preferred securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust preferred securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty.

The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier 1 capital, with certain limitations applicable, under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations.

14.13. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts to provide goods or services to its customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. Our principal source of revenue is derived from interest income on financial instruments, such as our loan and investment securities portfolios, as well as revenue related to our mortgage banking activities. These revenue-generating transactions are out of scope of ASC 606, but are subject to other GAAP and discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.

WeThe Company also generategenerates other revenue in connection with our broad range of banking products and financial services. Descriptions of our other revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in ourthe Company's consolidated statements of income as components of other operating income are as follows:

Mortgage banking income

Loan placement fees, included in mortgage banking income, primarily represent revenues earned by the Company for loan placement and underwriting. Revenues for these services are recorded at a point-in-time, upon completion of a contractually identified transaction, or when an advisory opinion is provided.

Service charges on deposit accounts

Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts includes general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue.

Other Service Charges and Fees

Revenue from other service charges and fees includes fees on foreign exchange, cards and payments income, safe deposit rental income and other service charges, commissions and fees.

The Company provides foreign currency exchange services to customers, whereby cash can be converted to different foreign currencies, and vice versa.

Revenue from the commissions and fees earned on the transactions fall within the scope of ASC 606, and is recorded in a manner that reflects the timing of when transactions occur, and as services are provided. Realized and unrealized gains or losses related to foreign currency are out of scope of ASC 606.

Cards and payments income includes interchange fees from debit cards processed through card association networks, merchant services, and other card related services. Interchange rates are generally set by the credit card associations and based on purchase volumes and other factors. Interchange fees are recognized as transactions occur.

Revenue is generally recognized monthly based on a minimum annual fee and/or the market value of assets in custody. Additional fees are recognized for transactional activity.

Equity Incentive Plans
 
We haveThe Company has adopted equity incentive plans for the purpose of granting options, restricted stock and other equity based awards for the Company's common stock to directors, officers and other key individuals. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on three or five years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the stock option plans below). We haveThe Company has historically issued new shares of common stock upon exercises of stock options and purchases of restricted awards.

In September 2004, we adopted and our shareholders approved the 2004 Stock Compensation Plan ("2004 Plan") making available 1,500,000 shares for grants to employees and directors. Upon adoption of the 2004 Plan, all unissued shares from the previous 1997 Plan were frozen and 0 new options were granted under the 1997 Plan. In May 2007, the 2004 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for grant by an additional 1,000,000 shares. In April 2011, the 2004 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares authorized from 1,402,589 to 4,944,831.

Stock Options 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant based on the following:
 
Valuation and amortization method—We estimate theThe fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and a single option award approach. We use historicalHistorical data is used to estimate option exercise and employee termination activity within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
 
Expected life —The expected life of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
 
Expected volatility —Expected volatilities arevolatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock.
 
Risk-free interest rate —The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
Expected dividend —The expected dividend assumption is based on our current expectations about our anticipated dividend policy.

17.16. PENSION PLANS
 
Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
 
The bank hashad a defined benefit retirement plan that covered substantially all of its employees who were employed during the period that the plan was in effect. The plan was initially curtailed in 1986, and accordingly, plan benefits were fixed as of that date. Effective January 1, 1991, the bank reactivated its defined benefit retirement plan. As a result of the reactivation, employees for whom benefits were fixed in 1986 began to accrue additional benefits under a new formula that became effective January 1, 1991. Employees who were not participants at curtailment, but who were subsequently eligible to join, became participants effective January 1, 1991. Under the reactivated plan, benefits are based upon the employees' years of service and their highest average annual salaries in a 60-consecutive-month period of service, reduced by benefits provided from the bank's terminated money purchase pension plan. The reactivation of the defined benefit retirement plan resulted in an increase of $5.9 million in the unrecognized prior service cost, which was amortized over a period of 13 years. Effective December 31, 2002, the bank curtailed its defined benefit retirement plan, and accordingly, plan benefits were fixed as of that date.date.



In January 2021, the Board of Directors approved termination of, and authorized Company management to commence taking action to terminate, the defined benefit retirement plan. The Company received a favorable determination letter from the IRS and no objection from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on the Form 500 standard termination notice in January 2022. The Company completed the termination and settlement of the plan in the second quarter of 2022. Upon final plan termination and settlement, the Company recognized a one-time noncash settlement expense of $4.9 million, which was recorded in other operating expense. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no further defined benefit retirement plan liability or ongoing pension expense recognition.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

In 1995, 2001, 2004 and 2006, our bank established Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans ("SERP") that provide certain officers of the Company with supplemental retirement benefits. On December 31, 2002, the 1995 and 2001 SERP were curtailed. In conjunction with the merger with CB Bancshares, Inc. ("CBBI"), we assumed CBBI's SERP obligation.

19.18. OPERATING LEASES
 
As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a right-of-use ("ROU") lease asset and corresponding lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet of $55.9 million for operatingThe Company leases where we are a lessee. We lease certain property and equipment with lease terms expiring through 2045. In some instances, a lease may contain renewal options for periods ranging from five to 15 years. All renewal options are likely to be exercised and therefore have been recognized as part of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in accordance with ASC 842, "Leases". Certain leases also contain variable payments that are primarily determined based on common area maintenance costs and Hawaii state tax rates. All leases are operating leases and we do not include any short-term leases are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The most significant assumption related to the Company’s application of ASC 842 was the discount rate assumption. As most of the Company’s lease agreements do not provide for an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the collateralized interest rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term to estimate the Company’s lease liability.

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law making significant changes to the U.S. federal tax code. The most impactful, as related to the Company, included a decrease in the current U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for the year beginning January 1, 2018. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded additional income tax expense of $7.4 million related to the estimated impact of Tax Reform on the Company's net deferred tax assets ("DTA"). In 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.5 million related to the finalization of the impact of Tax Reform, which also included the impact of a tax method change for software development and prepaid expenses that was filed in 2018.

In assessing the realizability of our net DTA, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the DTA will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.

As of December 31, 2019,2022, the valuation allowance on our net DTA totaled $3.4 million, of which $3.2 million related to our DTA from net apportioned net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for California state income tax purposes as we dothe Company does not expect to generate sufficient income in California to utilize the DTA. The remaining $0.2 million relates to a valuation allowance on a Hawaii capital loss carry forward balance of $6.2 million that we do not expect to be able to utilize. The net change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $39 thousand in 2022, compared to a decrease of $41$39 thousand in 2019, compared to an increase of $0.1 million in 2018.2021.

Net of this valuation allowance, the Company's net DTA totaled $16.5$48.5 million as of December 31, 2019,2022, compared to a net DTA of $21.5$25.8 million as of December 31, 2018.2021, and is included in other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2019,2022, the Company had NOL carryforwards for CaliforniaU.S. Federal income tax purposes of $77.9 million and state income tax purposes of $37.1$132.0 million, which are available to offset future state taxable income.

23.22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes the ultimate disposition of those matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business there are outstanding contingent liabilities and other commitments such as unused letters of credit and items held for collections, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

24.23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
We areThe Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of ourits customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written, forward foreign exchange contracts, and interest rate contracts.contracts, risk participation agreements, and back-to-back swap agreements. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and foreign exchange risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
Our exposureExposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. For forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate contracts, the contract amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. We controlThe Company controls the credit risk of these contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. We useThe Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we doit does for on-balance sheet instruments.
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluateThe Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
 
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We holdThe Company holds collateral supportingfor those commitments forin which collateral is deemed necessary.
 
Interest rate options issued on residential mortgage loans expose us to interest rate risk, which is economically hedged with forward interest rate contracts. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. The amount of interest rate options fluctuates based on residential mortgage volume.
 
Forward interest rate contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell loans at a future date at a specified price. We enterThe Company enters into forward interest rate contracts on our residential mortgage held for sale loans. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Risks arise from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in market rates. Management reviews and approves the creditworthiness of the counter-parties to its forward interest rate contracts.

Risk participation agreements represent agreements with a financial institution counterparty for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we participate. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other service charges and fees. The risk participation agreements entered into by us as a participant bank provide credit protection to the financial institution counterparty should the borrowers fail to perform on their interest rate derivative contracts with that financial institution.

The Company established a program whereby it originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap with the customer. The Company also enters into an equal and offsetting swap with a highly rated third-party financial
131


institution. These "back-to-back swap agreements"are intended to offset each other and allows the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. These back-to-back swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities, and changes to the fair value recorded in other service charges and fees on the consolidated statement of income.

Forward foreign exchange contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date at a specified price. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Risks arise from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Management reviews and approves the creditworthiness of its forward foreign exchange counter-parties. At December 31, 20192022 and 2018, we2021, the Company did not have any forward foreign exchange contracts.


During the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap, with an effective date of March 31, 2024. This transaction had a notional amount totaling $115.5 million as of December 31, 2022, and was designated as a fair value hedge of certain municipal debt securities. The Company will pay the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.095% and will receive a floating rate based on the Federal Funds effective rate. The fair value hedge has a maturity date of March 31, 2029. The interest rate swap is carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at its fair value in other assets (when the fair value is positive) or in other liabilities (when the fair value is negative). The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in interest income. The unrealized gains or losses due to changes in fair value of the hedged debt securities due to changes in benchmark interest rates are recorded as an adjustment to the hedged debt securities and offset in the same interest income line item.

25.24. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for our financial instruments.

Short-Term Financial Instruments

The carrying values of short-term financial instruments are deemed to approximate fair values. Such instruments are considered readily convertible to cash and include cash and due from financial institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, accrued interest receivable, the majority of FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable.

132


Investment Securities

The fair value of investment securities is based on market price quotations received from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize pricing models supported with timely market data information. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

Loans

Fair values of loans are estimated based on discounted cash flows of portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics including the type of loan, interest terms and repayment history. Fair values are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturities using estimated market discount rates. Estimated market discount rates are reflective of credit and interest rate risks inherent in the Company’s various loan types and are derived from available market information, as well as specific borrower information. The weighted-average discount rate used in the valuation of loans was 7.44% as of December 31, 2022. In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the fair value of loans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are based on the notion of exit price. The fair value of loansprice as of December 31, 2017 was measured based on the notion of entry price.2022 and 2021.
 
Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans. We report theThe fair values of Hawaii and U.S. Mainland construction and commercial real estate loans, if any, are reported net of applicable selling costs on ourthe Company's consolidated balance sheets.

FHLB Stock
It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.



Deposit Liabilities

The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, are equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount ratefair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered for depositsFHLB advances of similar remaining maturities. The weighted-average discount rate used in the valuation of time deposits was 4.96% as of December 31, 2022.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows over the contractual borrowing period at the estimated market rate for similar borrowing arrangements. The weighted-average discount rate used in the valuation of long-term debt was 7.28% as of December 31, 2022.

Derivatives

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based upon current market values, if available. If there are no relevant comparables, fair values are based on pricing models using current assumptions for interest rate swaps and options.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of off-balance sheet financial instruments are estimated based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties, current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

133


Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets and liabilities and premises and equipment.

Fair Value Measurements
 
We group our financialFinancial assets and liabilities are grouped at fair value into three levels based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.



Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use
135


in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that requiresrequire the use of significant judgment or estimation.
 
We base our fairFair values are based on the price that wethe Company would expect to receive if an asset were sold or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We also maximizeWhen developing fair value measurements, the use of observable inputs are maximized and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.are minimized.
 
We use fairFair value measurements are used to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale investment securities and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, wethe Company may be required to record other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for sale, impaired loans and mortgage servicing rights. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
 
There were 0no transfers of financialfinancials assets and liabilities betweeninto and out of Level 1 and Level 23 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2019.2022.

Within the state and political subdivisions debt securities category, the Company holds 4two mortgage revenue bonds issued by the City and County of Honolulu with an aggregate fair value of $11.3$6.6 million and $11.2$7.7 million at December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, respectively. Within the residential non-government agency available-for-sale debt securities category, the Company holds two mortgage backed bonds issued by Habitat for Humanity with an aggregate fair value of $0.7 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company estimates the aggregate fair value of its mortgage revenue bonds$7.3 million by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments.
 
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage revenue bonds and Habitat for Humanity mortgage backed bonds is the weighted averageweighted-average discount rate. As of December 31, 2019,2022, the weighted averageweighted-average discount rate utilized was 4.08%6.41%, which was derived by incorporating a credit spread over the FHLB Fixed-Rate Advance curve. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted averageweighted-average discount rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

26. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have the following 3 reportable segments: Banking Operations, Treasury and All Others. The segments are consistent with our internal functional reporting lines and are managed separately because each unit has different target markets, technological requirements, marketing strategies and specialized skills.
The Banking Operations segment includes construction and real estate development lending, commercial lending, residential mortgage lending, consumer lending, trust services, retail brokerage services and our retail branch offices, which provide a full range of deposit and loan products, as well as various other banking services. The Treasury segment is responsible for managing the Company’s investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding activities. The All Others segment includes activities not captured by the Banking Operations or Treasury segments described above and includes activities such as electronic banking, data processing and management of bank owned properties.
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The majority of the Company’s net income is derived from net interest income. Accordingly, management focuses primarily on net interest income, rather than gross interest income and expense amounts, in evaluating segment profitability.
Intersegment net interest income (expense) was allocated to each segment based upon a funds transfer pricing process that assigns costs of funds to assets and earnings credits to liabilities based on market interest rates that reflect interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics.

27.25. PARENT COMPANY AND REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
 
At December 31, 2019, the accumulated deficitThe retained earnings of the parent company, Central Pacific Financial Corp., included $415.0$339.4 million of equity in undistributed losses of Central Pacific Bank.Bank as of December 31, 2022.
 
Central Pacific Bank, as a Hawaii state-chartered bank, may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of December 31, 2019, theThe bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $66.6 million.$145.7 million and $114.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For further information, see Note 1312 - Equity.

The Company and the bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks ("Basel III rules") became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, and were fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Company must hold a "capital conservation buffer" above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was phased in at the rate of 0.625% per year from 0.625% in 2016 to 2.50% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2019, 2018 and 2017 was 2.50%, 1.875% and 1.25%, respectively. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-saleinvestment securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of December 31, 2019, the Company and bank meetmet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.subject as of December 31, 2022.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If under-capitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year-end 2019The bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" and 2018,maintained the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the bank as "well-capitalized"required capital conservation buffer under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.action as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. There are no conditions or events since that notificationthen that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On May 16, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") concluded a competitive review process of independent registered public accounting firms. As a result of this process and following careful deliberation, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective May 16, 2018. The Company provided KPMG with formal notice of such dismissal on May 16, 2018.

For further information regarding our change in accounting firm, please see Item 4.01 of our Report on Form 8-K filed on May 17, 2018, which information is incorporated herein by reference.None.
 
ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures    

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2019.2022. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2019,2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting    

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of December 31, 2019,2022, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20192022 is effective.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20192022 has been audited by Crowe LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting    

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the Company’s fiscal quarteryear ended December 31, 20192022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
