Note 1 · Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020.
In the opinion of HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state consolidated HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s financial positions as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020 and the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and their cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016.2020. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed below or in other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Recent accounting pronouncements.

In March 2016, the December 2019, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 718)740): Improvements to Employee Share-Based PaymentSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies several aspects of the accounting GAAP under certain situations. ASU 2019-12 is effective for share-based payment transactions.
public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the ASU No. 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. From January 1, 2017, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. From January 1, 2017, no excess tax benefits or deficiencies are included in determining the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method of calculating diluted EPS. As of January 1, 2017, HEI adopted an accounting policy to account for forfeitures when they occur.
From January 1, 2017, HEI retrospectively applied the cashflow guidance for taxes paid (equivalent to the value of withheld shares for tax withholding purposes) and excess tax benefits. Excess tax benefits are classified along2021 with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity and the cash payments made to taxing authoritiesno material impact on the employees’ behalf for withheld shares are classified as financing activities on the HEI unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods that are presented.
Goodwill impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2017-04, an entity was required to perform a two-step test to determine the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment. In Step 1, an entity compared the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, the entity performed Step 2 and compared the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill for that reporting unit. An impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill for the reporting unit exceeded the implied fair value of that goodwill would then be recorded. ASU No. 2017-04 removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. ASU No. 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2017-04 prospectively in the fourth quarter of 2017 and believes the impact of adoption will not be material to the Company’s and Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.
Revenues from contracts with customersIn May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should:  (1) identify the contract/s with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 also requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company has identified its revenue streams from, and performance obligations related to, contracts with customers and has performed an analysis of these revenue streams for the impacts of Topic 606. The revenue

subject to Topic 606 is largely the Utilities’ electric sales revenue and the Utilities’ and ASB’s fee income. The Company and Hawaiian Electric do not expect a material impact on the timing or pattern of revenue recognition upon adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, but do expect to provide expanded disclosures around the amount, timing, nature and uncertainty of our revenues from contracts with customers. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 (and subsequently issued revenue-related ASUs) in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
Financial instrumentsIn January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which, among other things:
Requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
Requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables).
Eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018 and expects changes to disclosures, but otherwise believes the impact of adoption will not be material to the Company’s and Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues - debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies), distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2018 using a retrospective transition method and believes the impact of adoption will not be material to the Company’s and Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
Restricted cash.  In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-18 in the first quarter of 2018 using a retrospective transition method and believes the impact of adoption will not be material to the Company’s and Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
Net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost (NPPC) and net periodic postretirement benefit cost (NPBC) as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9 to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization under GAAP, when applicable.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2017-07 in the first quarter of 2018 and has not yet determined the impact of adoption. HEI and ASB do not capitalize pension and OPEB costs. The Utilities are seeking recovery of their defined benefit costs as reflected under the requirements of ASU No. 2017-07 (i.e., only the service cost components of NPPC and NPBC will be eligible for capitalization) in their rate cases.

The Hawaii Electric Light 2016 test year and the Hawaiian Electric consolidated 2014 and 2017 test year revenue requirements were based on their current accounting for retirement benefits, and reflect the capitalization of a portion of the total pension and OPEB costs and the amortization of the pension and OPEB regulatory assets or liabilities (based on the difference between total pension and OPEB costs and the pension and OPEB costs included in rates). In Hawaii Electric Light’s (2016 test year) and Hawaiian Electric’s (consolidated 2014 and 2017 test years) on-going rate cases, each utility proposed that for 2018 and until its next rate case, the non-service cost portion of the test year pension and OPEB costs that are estimated to be capitalized, be deferred and included in the pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms, and amortized beginning with the next rate case. Maui Electric proposed in its consolidated 2015 and 2018 test year rate case filing to adopt the accounting prescribed by ASU No. 2017-07.
The impact of adoption will largely be dependent on the PUC's decisions.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires that lessees recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, for all leases (except short-term leases) at the commencement date. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election and recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, a lessee is required to recognize interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the condensed consolidated statement of income. For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 and has not yet determined the method or impact of adoption.
Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU No. 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date (based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts) and enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The other-than-temporary impairment model of accounting for credit losses on AFS debt securities will be replaced with an estimate of expected credit losses only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The AFS debt security model will also require the use of an allowance to record the estimated losses (and subsequent recoveries). The accounting for the initial recognition of the estimated expected credit losses for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration would be recognized through an allowance for credit losses with an offset to the cost basis of the related financial asset at acquisition (i.e., there is no impact to net income at initial recognition).
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2020 and has not yet determined the impact of adoption.

Note 3 · Electric utility segment
Revenue taxes. The Utilities’ revenues include amounts for the recovery of various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the period the related revenues are recognized. However, the Utilities’ revenue tax payments to the taxing authorities in the period are based on the prior year’s billed revenues (in the case of public service company taxes and PUC fees) or on the current year’s cash collections from electric sales (in the case of franchise taxes). The Utilities included in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 approximately $54 million, $51 million, $150 million and $138 million, respectively, of revenue taxes in “revenues” and in “taxes, other than income taxes” expense, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Unconsolidated variable interest entities.
HECO Capital Trust III.  HECO Capital Trust III (Trust III) was created and exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing in March 2004 2,000,000 6.50% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series 2004 (2004 Trust Preferred Securities) ($50 million aggregate liquidation preference) to the public and trust common securities ($1.5 million aggregate liquidation preference) to Hawaiian Electric, (ii) investing the proceeds of these trust securities in 2004 Debentures issued by Hawaiian Electric in the principal amount of $31.5 million and issued by Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric each in the principal amount of $10 million, (iii) making distributions on these trust securities and (iv) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto. The 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable at the maturity of the underlying debt on March 18, 2034, which maturity may be extended to no later than March 18, 2053; and are currently redeemable at the issuer’s option without premium. The 2004 Debentures, together with the obligations of the Utilities under an expense agreement and Hawaiian Electric’s obligations under its trust guarantee and its guarantee of the obligations of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric under their respective debentures, are the sole assets of Trust III. Taken together, Hawaiian Electric’s obligations under the Hawaiian Electric debentures, the Hawaiian Electric indenture, the subsidiary guarantees, the trust agreement, the expense agreement and trust guarantee provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payments of amounts due on the Trust Preferred Securities. Trust III has at all times been an unconsolidated subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric. Since Hawaiian Electric, as the holder of 100% of the trust common securities, does not absorb the majority of the variability of Trust III, Hawaiian Electric is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate Trust III in accordance with accounting rules on the consolidation of VIEs. Trust III’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 each consisted of $51.5 million of 2004 Debentures; $50.0 million of 2004 Trust Preferred Securities; and $1.5 million of trust common securities. Trust III’s income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 consisted of $2.5 million of interest income received from the 2004 Debentures; $2.4 million of distributions to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities; and $75,000 of common dividends on the trust common securities to Hawaiian Electric. As long as the 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are outstanding, Hawaiian Electric is not entitled to receive any funds from Trust III other than pro-rata distributions, subject to certain subordination provisions, on the trust common securities. In the event of a default by Hawaiian Electric in the performance of its obligations under the 2004 Debentures or under its Guarantees, or in the event any of the Utilities elect to defer payment of interest on any of their respective 2004 Debentures, then Hawaiian Electric will be subject to a number of restrictions, including a prohibition on the payment of dividends on its common stock.
Power purchase agreements.  As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the Utilities had five5 PPAs for firm capacity (including the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) PPA as PGV went offline in May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island, but returned to service with firm capacity of 13 MW in the first quarter of 2021) and other PPAs with independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (e.g.(i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or power production facilities who buy power from or sell power to the Utilities), none of which isare currently required to be consolidated as VIEs.
Pursuant to the current accounting standards for VIEs, the Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii) and HEPHamakua Energy by reason of the provisions of the PPAsPPA that the Utilities have with the three3 IPPs. However, management has concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii or HEPand Hamakua Energy because the Utilities do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the three3 IPPs’ economic performance nor the obligation to absorb their expected losses, if any, that could potentially be significant to the IPPs. Thus, the Utilities have not consolidated Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii or HEPand Hamakua Energy in its unauditedcondensed consolidated financial statements. Hamakua Energy is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current and is consolidated in HEI’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the other PPAs with IPPs, the Utilities have concluded that the consolidation of the IPPs was not required because either the Utilities do not have variable interests in the IPPs due to the absence of an obligation in the PPAs for the Utilities to absorb any variability of the IPPs, or the IPPs were eitherIPP was considered a “business” or “governmental organization,” and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. Two IPPs of as-available energy declined to provide the information necessary for Utilities to determine the applicability of accounting standards for VIEs. If information is ultimately received from the IPPs, a possible

outcome of future analyses of such information is the consolidation of one or both of such IPPs in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and, if such a consolidated IPP were operating at a loss and had insufficient equity, the potential recognition of such losses. If the Utilities determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, the Utilities would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs.VIEs to the IPP.
Commitments and contingencies.
Contingencies. The Utilities are subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, the Utilities cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.

Kalaeloa Partners, L.P.  In October  Under a 1988 PPA, as amended, Hawaiian Electric entered into a PPA with Kalaeloa, subsequently approved by the PUC, which provided that Hawaiian Electric wouldis committed to purchase 180 megawatts (MW)208 MW of firm capacity for a period of 25 years beginning in May 1991. In October 2004,from Kalaeloa. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa entered into amendments to the PPA, subsequently approved by the PUC, which together effectively increased the firm capacity from 180 MW to 208 MW. The energy payments that Hawaiian Electric makes to Kalaeloa include: (1) a fuel component, with a fuel price adjustment based on the cost of low sulfur fuel oil, (2) a fuel additives cost component and (3) a non-fuel component, with an adjustment based on changes in the Gross National Product Implicit Price Deflator. The capacity payments that Hawaiian Electric makes to Kalaeloa are fixed in accordance with the PPA. Kalaeloa also has a steam delivery cogeneration contract with another customer, the term of which coincides with the PPA. The facility has been certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as a Qualifying Facility under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa are incontinue negotiations to address the PPA term that ended on May 23, 2016. The PPA automatically extends on a month-to-month basis as long as the parties are still negotiating in good faith, but would end 60 days after either party notifies the other in writing that negotiations have terminated.faith. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa have agreed that neither party will terminate the PPA (which has been subject to automatic extension on a month-to-month basis) prior to OctoberMay 31, 2018.2021, to allow for a negotiated resolution.

Under a PPA entered into in March 1988, as amended (through Amendment No. 2) for a period of 30 years beginningending September 1992,2022, Hawaiian Electric agreed to purchase 180 MW of firm capacity from AES Hawaii. In August 2012, Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC seeking an exemption from the PUC’s Competitive Bidding Framework to negotiate an amendment to the PPA to purchase 186 MW of firm capacity, and amend the energy pricing formula in the PPA. The PUC approved the exemption in April 2013, but Hawaiian Electric and AES Hawaii were not able to reach an agreement on the amendment. In June 2015, AES Hawaii filed an arbitration demand regarding a dispute about whether Hawaiian Electric was obligated to buy up to 9 MW of additional capacity based on a 1992 letter. Hawaiian Electric responded to the arbitration demand and in October 2015, AES Hawaii and Hawaiian Electric entered into a Settlement Agreement to stay the arbitration proceeding. The Settlement Agreement included certain conditions precedent which, if satisfied, would have released the parties from the claims under the arbitration proceeding. Among the conditions precedent was the successful negotiation and PUC approval of an amendment to the existing PPA.
In November 2015, Hawaiian Electric entered into Amendment No. 3 for which PUC approval was requested and subsequently denied in January 2017. Approval of Amendment No. 3 would have satisfied the final condition for effectiveness

Electric and AES Hawaii have been in dispute over an additional 9 MW of capacity. In February 2018, Hawaiian Electric reached agreement with AES Hawaii on an amendment to the PPA. However, in June 2018, the PUC issued an order suspending review of the Settlement Agreement and resolved AES Hawaii's claims. Following the PUC's decision, the parties agreed to extend the stayamendment pending a Department of Health of the arbitration proceeding, while settlement discussions continue.State of Hawaii (DOH) decision on AES Hawaii’s request for approval of its Emission Reduction Plan and partnership with Hawaiian Electric. If approved by the PUC, the amendment will resolve AES Hawaii’s claims related to the additional capacity.
Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC. LLC (Hu Honua).In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA, which the PUC approved in December 2013, with Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC (Hu Honua) for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii. PerUnder the terms of the PPA, the Hu Honua plant was scheduled to be in service in 2016. However, Hu Honua encountered construction and litigation delays, failed to meet its obligations under the PPA and failed to provide adequate assurances that it could perform or had the financial means to perform. Hawaii Electric Light terminated the PPA on March 1, 2016. On November 30, 2016, Hu Honua filed a civil complaintwhich resulted in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii that included claims purportedly arising out of the termination of Hu Honua’s PPA. On May 26, 2017, Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua entered into a settlement agreement that will settle all claims related to the termination of the original PPA. The settlement agreement was contingent on the PUC’s approval of an amended and restated PPA between Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua dated May 5,9, 2017. In July 2017, the PUC approved the amended and restated PPA. OnPPA, which becomes effective once the PUC’s order is final and non-appealable. In August 25, 2017, the PUC’s approval was appealed by a third party. The appealOn May 10, 2019, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a decision remanding the matter to the PUC for further proceedings consistent with the court’s decision which must include express consideration of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that would result from approving the PPA, whether the cost of energy under the PPA is still pending.reasonable in light of the potential for GHG emissions, and whether the terms of the PPA are prudent and in the public interest, in light of its potential hidden and long-term consequences. On June 20, 2019, the PUC issued an order reopening the docket for further proceedings, including re-examining all of the issues in the proceedings. On September 29, 2019, the PUC issued an order setting the procedural schedule for the matter and on December 20, 2019, issued an order modifying the procedural schedule. Pre-hearing matters were completed on March 6, 2020. On July 9, 2020, the PUC issued an order denying Hawaii Electric Light’s request to waive the amended and restated PPA from the PUC’s competitive bidding requirements and therefore, dismissed the request for approval of the amended and restated PPA without prejudice to possible participation in any future competitive bidding process. On July 20, 2020, Hu Honua is expected to be on-linefiled a motion for reconsideration of the PUC’s order which was denied by the endPUC on September 9, 2020. On September 16, 2020, Hu Honua filed its notice of 2018.appeal to the Hawaii Supreme Court of the PUC’s order denying Hu Honua’s motion for reconsideration. Oral arguments were held before the Supreme Court on April 22, 2021.
Molokai New Energy Partners (MNEP). In July 2018, the PUC approved Maui Electric’s PPA with MNEP to purchase solar energy from a photovoltaic (PV) plus battery storage project. The 4.88 MW PV and 3 MW Battery Energy Storage System project was to deliver no more than 2.64 MW at any time to the Molokai system. On March 25, 2020, MNEP filed a complaint in the United Stated District Court for the District of Hawaii against Maui Electric claiming breach of contract. On June 3, 2020, Maui Electric provided Notice of Default and Termination of the PPA to MNEP terminating the PPA with an effective date of July 10, 2020. Thereafter, MNEP filed an amended Complaint to include claims relating to the termination and Hawaiian Electric filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint on September 11, 2020, disputing the facts presented by MNEP and all claims within the original and amended complaint.
Utility projects.  Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits or community support can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if PUC imposedPUC-imposed caps on project costs are expected to be exceeded, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.
Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM) implementation project. The ERP/EAM Implementation Project. On August 11, 2016,Project went live in October 2018. Hawaii Electric Light and Hawaiian Electric began to incorporate their portion of the deferred project costs in rate base and started the amortization over a 12-year period in January 2020 and November 2020, respectively. The PUC required the benefit savings of the project to be passed on to customers.
In February 2019, the PUC approved a methodology for passing the future cost saving benefits of the new ERP/EAM system to customers developed by the Utilities in collaboration with the Consumer Advocate. The Utilities filed a benefits clarification document on June 10, 2019, reflecting $150 million in future net O&M expense reductions and cost avoidance, and $96 million in capital cost reductions and tax savings over the 12-year service life. To the extent the reduction in O&M expense relates to amounts reflected in electric rates, the Utilities would reduce future rates for such amounts. In October 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate’s Stipulated Performance Metrics and Tracking Mechanism. As of March 31, 2021, the Utilities’ requestregulatory liability was $11.2 million ($6.5 million for Hawaiian Electric, $1.9 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $2.8 million for Maui Electric) for the O&M expense savings that are being amortized or to commence the ERP/EAM Implementation Project, subject to certain conditions, including a $77.6 million cap on cost recovery as well as a requirement that the Utilities pass onto customers a minimum of $244 millionbe included in savings associated with the system over its 12-year service life. The decision and order (D&O) approved the deferral of certain project costs and allowed the accrual of allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC), but limited the AFUDC rate to 1.75%. Pursuant to the D&O and subsequent orders, in September 2017, the Utilities filed a bottom-up, low-level analysisfuture rates. As part of the project’ssettlement agreement approved in the Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case, the regulatory liability for Hawaiian Electric will be amortized over five years, beginning in November 2020, and the O&M benefits and performance metrics and tracking mechanism for passing the project’s benefits onHawaiian Electric will be considered flowed through to customers. Monthly reports on the status and costsAs part of the project continue to be filed.
The ERP/EAM Implementation Project is on schedule. The project is expected to go live by October 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2017,PBR proceeding, the Project incurred costs of $23.6 million of which $4.6 million were charged to other operation and maintenance (O&M) expense, $1.4 million relate to capital costs and $17.6 million are deferred costs.
Schofield Generating Station Project. In August 2012, the PUC approved a waiver from the competitive bidding framework to allow Hawaiian Electric to negotiate with the U.S. Army for the construction of a 50 MW utility owned and operated firm, renewable and dispatchable generation facility at Schofield Barracks. In September 2015, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s application to expend $167 million for the project. In approving the project, the PUC placed a cost cap of $167 million for the project, stated 90% of the cap is allowed for cost recovery through cost recovery mechanisms other than base rates, and stated the $167 million cap will be adjusted downward due to any reduction in the cost of the engine contract due to a reduction in the foreign exchange rate. Hawaiian Electric was required to take all necessary steps to lock in the lowest possible exchange rate. On January 5, 2016, Hawaiian Electric executed window forward contracts, which lowered the cost of the engine contract by $9.7 million, resulting in a revised project cost cap of $157.3 million. Hawaiian Electric has received all of the major permits for the project, including a 35 year site lease from the U.S. Army. Construction of the facility began in October 2016, and the facility is expected to be placed in service in the second quarter of 2018. A request to recover the costs of the project and related operations and maintenance expense through the newly-established Major Project Interim Recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism is pending PUC approval. (See “Decoupling” section below for MPIR guidelines and capital cost recovery discussion.) Project costs incurredregulatory liability as of September 30, 2017 amounted to $105.7 million.
West Loch PV Project. In July 2016, Hawaiian Electric announced plans to build, own and operate a utility-owned, grid-tied 20-MW (ac) solar facility in conjunction with the Department of the Navy at a Navy/Air Force joint base. In June 2017, the PUC approved the expenditure of funds for the project, including Hawaiian Electric’s proposed project cost cap of $67 million and a performance guarantee to provide energy at 9.56 cents/KWH or less. Project costs incurred as of September 30, 2017 amounted to $0.7 million.
In approving the project, the PUC agreed that the project is eligible for recovery of costs offset by related net benefits under the newly-established MPIR adjustment mechanism. (See “Decoupling” section below for MPIR guidelines and capital

cost recovery discussion.) Hawaiian Electric provided supplemental materials in August 2017, as requested by the PUC, to support meeting the MPIR guidelines, accompanied by system performance guaranteeDecember 31, 2020 of approximately $1.6 million and cost savings sharing mechanisms. 
Hawaiian Telcom. The Utilities each have separate agreements$2.3 million, respectively, for the joint ownership and maintenance of utility poles with Hawaiian Telcom, Inc. (Hawaiian Telcom), the respective county or counties in which each utility operates and other third parties, such as the State of Hawaii. The agreements set forth various circumstances requiring pole removal/installation/replacement and the sharing of costs among the joint pole owners. The agreements allow for the cost of work done by one joint pole owner to be shared by the other joint pole owners based on the apportionment of costs in the agreements. The Utilities have maintained, replaced and installed the majority of the jointly-owned poles in each of the respective service territories, and have billed the other joint pole owners for their respective share of the costs. The counties and the State have been reimbursing the Utilities for their share of the costs. However, Hawaiian Telcom has been delinquent in reimbursing the Utilities for its share of the costs.
Hawaiian Electric has initiated a dispute resolution process to collect the unpaid amounts from Hawaiian Telcom as specified by the joint pole agreement. This dispute resolution process is stayed pending settlement negotiations. For Hawaii Electric Light, the agreement does not specify an alternative dispute resolution process, and thus a complaint for payment was filed with the Circuit Court in June 2016. This complaint is stayed pending settlement negotiations. Maui Electric has not yet commenced any legal action to recover the delinquent amounts. The Utilities and Hawaiian Telcom have entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to endeavor to negotiate agreements, subject to PUC approval, for purchase by the Utilities of Hawaiian Telcom’s interest in all the joint poles, with payment of the purchase price of such interest in the poles to be offset in part by the receivables owed by Hawaiian Telcom to the Utilities. As of September 30, 2017, total receivables under the joint pole agreement, including interest, from Hawaiian Telcom are $22.2 million ($14.9 million at Hawaiian Electric, $6.0 million at Hawaii Electric Light and $1.3 million at Maui Electric). Management expectsElectric will be flowed to prevailcustomers as part of the customer dividend in the annual revenue adjustment in 2021.
At the PUC’s direction, the Utilities have been filing Semi-Annual Enterprise System Benefits (SAESB) reports on these claims but has reservedthe achieved benefits savings. The most recent SAESB report was filed on February 26, 2021 for the accrued interest of $4.9 million on the receivables.period July 1 through December 31, 2020.
Environmental regulation.  The Utilities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances.
Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, periodically encounter petroleum or other chemical releases into the environment associated with current or previous operations. The Utilities report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. The Utilities believe the costs of responding to such releases identified to date will not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Former Molokai Electric Company generation site.  In 1989, Maui Electric acquired by merger Molokai Electric Company. Molokai Electric Company had sold its former generation site (Site) in 1983, but continued to operate at the Site under a lease until 1985. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since identified environmental impacts in the subsurface soil at the Site. Although Maui Electric never operated at the Site or owned the Site property, after discussions with the EPA and the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH), Maui Electric agreed to undertake additional investigations at the Site and an adjacent parcel that Molokai Electric Company had used for equipment storage (the Adjacent Parcel) to determine the extent of environmental contamination. A 2011 assessment by a Maui Electric contractor of the Adjacent Parcel identified environmental impacts, including elevated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the subsurface soils. In cooperation with the DOH and EPA, Maui Electric is further investigatinginvestigated the Site and the Adjacent Parcel to determine the extent of impacts of PCBs,polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), residual fuel oils and other subsurface contaminants. Maui Electric has a reserve balance of $3.1$2.7 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, representing the probable and reasonably estimatedestimable undiscounted cost to complete the additional investigation and estimated cleanup costs atfor remediation of the Site and the Adjacent Parcel; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the results of continued investigation.cleanup approach implemented.
Pearl Harbor sediment study. In July 2014, the U.S. Navy notified Hawaiian Electric of the Navy’s determination that Hawaiian Electric is a Potentially Responsible Party responsible for the costs of investigation and cleanup of PCBPCBs contamination in sediment in the area offshore of the Waiau Power Plant as part of the Pearl Harbor Superfund Site. The Navy has also requested that Hawaiian Electric reimburse the costs incurredwas also required by the Navy to investigate the area. The Navy has completed a remedial investigation and a feasibility study (FS) for the remediation of contaminated sediment at several locations in Pearl Harbor and issued its Final FS Report on June 29, 2015. On February 2, 2016, the Navy released the Proposed Plan for Pearl Harbor Sediment Remediation and Hawaiian Electric submitted comments. The extent of the contamination, the appropriate remedial measures to address it and Hawaiian Electric’s potential responsibility for any associated costs have not been determined.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued(Unaudited)


On March 23, 2015, Hawaiian Electric received a letter from the EPA requesting that Hawaiian Electric submit a work plan to assess potential sources and extent of PCB contamination onshore at the Waiau Power Plant. Hawaiian Electric submitted a sampling and analysis (SAP) work plan to the EPA and the DOH. Onshore sampling at the Waiau Power Plant was completed in two phases in December 2015 and June 2016. The extent of the onshore contamination, the appropriate remedial measures to address it and any associated costs have not yet been determined.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the reserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $4.9$9.8 million. The reserve balance represents the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost to completefor the onshore and offshore investigationsinvestigation and the remediation of PCB contamination in the offshore sediment.remediation. The final remediation costs will depend on the results of theactual onshore investigation and assessment of potential source control requirements, as well as the further investigation of contaminated sediment offshore from the Waiau Power Plant.
Asset retirement obligations.  The Utilities recorded Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs) related to removing retired generating units at Hawaiian Electric’s Honolulu and Waiau power plants and removing certain types of transformers. The transformer removal projects are on-going. The retired generating unit removal projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2017, and the related AROs have been reassessed. Hawaiian Electric has determined that the AROs for the retired generating units should be minimal, and thus $24.4 million of the remaining AROs related to those projects were reversed in the third quarter of 2017 to reflect the revision in estimated cash flows (with no impact on the Utilities’ net income). The ARO balances as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, amounted to $0.7 million and $26.2 million, respectively. cleanup costs.
Regulatory proceedings
DecouplingCurrent decoupling.Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to provide the Utilities with financial stability and facilitate meeting the State of Hawaii’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. The current decoupling model implemented in Hawaiimechanism has the following major components: (1) monthly revenue balancing account (RBA) revenues or refunds for the difference between PUC-approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues, which delinks revenues from kWh sales, and includes annual rate adjustments. The decoupling mechanism has three components: (1) a sales decoupling component via a revenue balancing account (RBA), (2) a revenue escalation component via a rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues for escalation in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes, (3) major project interim recovery (MPIR) component, (4) performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs), and (5) an earnings sharing mechanism, which would provide for a reduction of revenues between rate cases in the event the utility exceeds the return on average common equity (ROACE) allowed in its most recent rate case. Decoupling provides for more timely cost recovery and earning on investments.
For the RAM years 2014 - 2016, Hawaiian Electric was allowed to record RAM revenue beginning on January 1 and to bill such amounts from June 1 of the applicable year through May 31 of the following year. Subsequent to 2016, Hawaiian Electric reverted to the RAM provisions initially approved in March 2011—i.e., RAM is both accrued and billed from June 1 of each year through May 31 of the following year.
2015 decoupling order. Performance-based regulation framework. On March 31, 2015,December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) approving a new performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). Under the PBR Framework, the Utilities’ current decoupling will continue to be used with modifications, as described below. The existing cost recovery mechanisms will continue as currently implemented (e.g., the Energy Cost Recovery Clause (ECRC), Purchased Power Adjustment Clause (PPAC), Demand Side Management surcharge (DSM), Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP), Demand Response Adjustment Clause (DRAC), Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) tracking mechanisms). In addition to annual revenues provided by the annual revenue adjustment (ARA), the Utilities may seek relief for extraordinary projects or programs through the Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) (formerly known as the Major Project Interim Recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism) and earn financial rewards for exemplary performance as provided through a portfolio of Performance Incentive Mechanisms (PIMs) and Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs). The PBR Framework will incorporate a variety of other performance mechanisms, including Scorecards, Reported Metrics, and an Order (the 2015 Decoupling Order) that modifiedexpedited Pilot Process. The PBR Framework also contains a number of safeguards, including a symmetric Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM) which protects the RAM portionUtilities and customers from excessive earnings or losses, as measured by the Utilities’ Return on Equity (ROE) and a Re-Opener

mechanism, under which the PUC will open an examination, at its discretion, to determine if adjustments or modifications to specific PBR mechanisms are appropriate.
Subsequent to the issuance of the decoupling mechanismPBR D&O, the PUC has initiated a collaborative process during which working groups consisting of the PUC, the Utilities and other parties have addressed the development of the proposed PBR implementation tariffs and the final details of the Prioritized Performance Mechanisms (i.e., Interconnection Approval PIM, Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) Energy Efficiency PIM, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Utilization PIM and the portfolio of Scorecards and Reported Metrics). The Utilities and other parties filed their refined proposals addressing the Prioritized Performance Mechanisms on March 16, 2021 and April 9, 2021. An order addressing the Prioritized Performance Mechanisms is expected to be capped atissued in May 2021. Written tariffs to implement the PBR Framework have been either approved (see below) or will be submitted for PUC approval in May 2021 and expected to go into effect June 1, 2021.
Rate adjustment mechanism. The existing RAM is based on the lesser of the RAM revenue adjustment as then determined (based onof: a) an inflationary adjustment for certain O&M expenses and return on investment for certain rate base changes) and a RAM revenue adjustment calculated based on thechanges, or b) cumulative annual compounded increase in Gross Domestic Product Price Index applied to annualized target revenues (the RAM Cap). The 2015 Decoupling Order provided a specific basis for calculating theAnnualized target revenues until the next rate case, at which time the target revenues willmay be reset upon the issuance of an interim or final D&Odecision and order (D&O) in a rate case. The triennial rate case cycle required under the decoupling mechanism continues to serve as the maximum period between the filing of general rate cases.
The RAM Cap impacted the Utilities' recovery of capital investments as follows:
Hawaiian Electric's RAM revenuesAll Utilities were limited to the RAM Cap in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Maui Electric's2020. Under the new PBR Framework, the ARA mechanism will replace the RAM, revenues were limitedeffective on June 1, 2021. The transition to the new ARA includes the continuation of the 2020 RAM CapRevenue adjustment.
Annual revenue adjustment mechanism. The PBR Framework established a five-year multi-year rate period during which there will be no general rate cases. Target revenues will be adjusted according to an index-driven ARA based on (i) an inflation factor, (ii) a predetermined X-factor to encompass productivity, which is set at zero, (iii) a Z-factor to account for exceptional circumstances not in 2015the Utilities’ control and 2016; however,(iv) a customer dividend consisting of a negative adjustment of 0.22% compounded annually and a flow through of the 2017 RAM revenues were“pre-PBR” savings commitment from the management audit recommendations developed in a prior docket.
As a result of an Order issued by the PUC pursuant to a motion for partial reconsideration the customer dividend for “pre-PBR” savings commitment portion to be delivered to customers will be at a rate of $6.6 million per year from 2021 to 2025, and the Enterprise Resource Planning system benefits savings of $3.9 million, to be delivered to customers in 2021. The implementation of the ARA is scheduled to occur on June 1, 2021.
Earnings sharing mechanism. A symmetrical ESM for actual return on equity outside of a 300 basis points dead band above and below a target ROE of 9.5%, which is the RAM Cap.current authorized ROE for the Utilities. There is a 50/50 sharing between customers and Utilities for the actual earnings falling within 150 basis points outside of the dead band in either direction, and a 90/10 sharing for any further difference.A reopening or review of the PBR terms will be triggered if the Utilities credit rating outlook indicates a potential credit downgrade below investment grade status, or if its earned ROE enters the outer most tier of the ESM.
Hawaii Electric Light’s RAM revenues were below the RAM Cap in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
2017 decoupling orderMajor project interim recovery. On April 27, 2017, the PUC issued an Order (the 2017 Decoupling Order)order that requires the establishment of specific performance incentive mechanisms and providesprovided guidelines for interim recovery of revenues to support major projects placed in service between general rate cases.
In May 2017, the Utilities filed their proposed initial tariffs to implement conventional stand-alone performance incentive mechanisms, namely for:
Service Reliability Performance measured by System Average Interruption Duration and Frequency Indexes (penalties only). Target performance is based on each utility’s historical 10-year average performance with a deadband of one

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued(Unaudited)


standard deviation. The maximum penalty for each performance index is 20 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s rate base (or approximately $6 million penalty for both in total for the three utilities).
Call Center Performance measured by the percentage of calls answered within 30 seconds. Target performance is based on the annual average performance for each utility for the most recent 8 quarters with a deadband of 3% above and below the target. The maximum penalty or incentive is 8 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s rate base (or approximately $1.2 million penalty or incentive in total for the three utilities).
The 2017 Decoupling Order also established guidelines for MPIR. Projects eligible for recovery through the MPIR adjustment mechanism are major projects (i.e., projects with capital expenditures net of customer contributions in excess of $2.5 million), including, but not restricted to, renewable energy, energy efficiency, utility scale generation, grid modernization and smaller qualifying projects grouped into programs for review. The MPIR adjustment mechanism provides the opportunity to recover revenues for netapproved costs of approved eligible projects placed in service between general rate cases wherein cost recovery is limited by a revenue cap and is not provided by other effective recovery mechanisms. The request for PUC approval must include a business case, and all costs that are allowed to be recovered through the MPIR adjustment mechanism shallmust be offset by any related benefits. The guidelines provide for accrual of revenues approved for recovery upon in-service date to be collected from customers through the annual RBA tariff. Capital projects whichthat are not recovered through the MPIR would be included in the RAM and be subject to the RAM cap,Cap, until the next rate case when the utilitiesUtilities would request recovery in base rates.
In the 2017 Decoupling Order, the PUC indicated that in pending and subsequent rate cases, the PUC intends to require all fuel expenses and purchased energy expenses be recovered through an appropriately modified energy cost adjustment mechanism rather than through base rates, and will consider adopting processes to periodically reset fuel efficiency measures embedded in the energy cost adjustment mechanism to account for changes in the generating system.
Annual decoupling filings. On March 31, 2017,2021, the Utilities submitted 2021 MPIR amounts totaling $21.8 million for the Schofield Generating Station ($17.6 million), West Loch PV Project ($3.3 million), and Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1 project ($0.9 million for all three utilities) for the accrual of revenues effective January 1, 2021, that included the 2021 return on project amount (based on approved amounts) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses. Subject to PUC approval, as part of the transition to the PBR framework, the Utilities will begin recovery of the annualized 2021 MPIR amounts effective June 1, 2021 through the RBA rate adjustment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
Exceptional project recovery mechanism. The existing MPIR adjustment mechanism was renamed EPRM to include deferred and O&M expense projects and to permit the Utilities to include the full amount of approved costs in the EPRM for recovery in the first year the project goes into service, pro-rated for the portion of the year the project is in service.Any pending application for MPIR relief submitted by the Utilities prior to the PBR D&O, will be grandfathered under the MPIR Guidelines. The Utilities may alternatively request that pending MPIR applications be reviewed under EPRM Guidelines. EPRM recovery will be in accordance with the EPRM Guidelines limited to the lesser of actual incurred project costs or PUC- approved amounts, net of savings. To date, the Utilities have requested approval of 4 projects with total estimated capital costs of $95 million for recovery through EPRM.
Performance incentive mechanisms. The PUC theirhas established the following PIMs: (1) Service Quality performance incentives, (2) Phase 1 Request for proposal (RFP) PIM for procurement of low-cost renewable energy, (3) Phase 2 RFP PIMs for generation and generation plus storage project, and Grid Services and standalone storage.
Service Quality performance incentives (ongoing). Service Quality performance incentives are measured on a calendar-year basis. The PIM tariff requires the performance targets, deadbands and the amount of maximum financial incentives used to determine the PIM financial incentive levels for each of the PIMs to be re-determined upon issuance of an interim or final order in a general rate case for each utility.
Service Reliability Performance measured by System Average Interruption Duration and Frequency Indexes (penalties only). Target performance is based on each utility’s historical 10-year average performance with a deadband of one standard deviation. The maximum penalty for each performance index is 20 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties of approximately $6.8 million - for both indices in total for the three utilities).
Call Center Performance measured by the percentage of calls answered within 30 seconds. Target performance is based on the annual decoupling filings. Maui Electric amended itsaverage performance for each utility for the most recent 8 quarters with a deadband of 3% above and below the target. The maximum penalty or reward is 8 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties or rewards of approximately $1.4 million - in total for the three utilities).
In December 2020, the Utilities accrued $0.9 million in estimated rewards for call center performance, net of service reliability penalties, for 2020. The net service quality performance rewards related to 2020 was reflected in the 2021 annual decoupling filing and pending PUC’s approval, will increase customer rates effective June 1, 2021.
Phase 1 RFP PIM. Procurement of low-cost variable renewable resources through the request for proposal process in 2018 is measured by comparison of the procurement price to target prices. Half of the incentive was earned upon PUC approval of the PPAs. Based on the 7 PPAs approved in 2019, the Utilities recognized $1.7 million in 2019 with the remaining award to be recognized in the year following the in-service date of the projects, which is estimated to occur from 2023 to 2024.
Phase 2 RFP PIMs. The PUC order issued on October 9, 2019 establishes pricing thresholds, timelines to complete contracting, and other performance criteria for the performance incentive eligibility. The PIMs provide incentives only without penalties. The order requires contracts under the Grid Service RFP be filed for approval by May 22, 2017,2020 (subsequently extended to updateJuly 9, 2020), and revise certain cost information.by September 2020 under the Renewable RFPs, with a declining PIM for projects that are not filed by these deadlines. On MayJuly 9, 2020, the Utilities filed 2 Grid Service Purchase Agreements for the Grid Service RFP, which qualify for PIMs, however, details of the incentive metrics will be determined by PUC. On September 15, 2020, the Utilities filed 8 power purchase agreements for the Phase 2 RFP. Of those 8, only 1 project qualified for a potential PIM incentive. On February 16, 2021, the Utilities filed 1 additional power purchase agreement that qualifies for the declining PIM. On December 31, 2017,2020, the PUC approved the 2 Grid Services Purchase Agreements without further clarification regarding the PIM. The Utility has filed a letter to the PUC in January 2021 to seek guidance to the next step of defining the details of the incentive metrics.
The PUC established the following 2 new PIMs in its PBR D&O, which were approved in an order issued on March 23, 2021. The effective date for these PIM tariffs is June 1, 2021.
Renewable portfolio standard (RPS)-A PIM that provides a financial reward for accelerating the achievement of RPS goals. The Utilities may earn a reward for the amount of system generation above the interpolated statutory RPS goal at $20/MWh in 2021 and 2022, $15/MWh in 2023, and $10/MWh for the remainder of the multi-year rate period (MRP). Penalties are already prescribed in the RPS as $20/MWh for failing to meet RPS targets in 2030, 2040 and 2045. The evaluation period commenced on January 1, 2021.

Hawaiian Electric consolidated 2014 test year abbreviated and 20172020 test year rate casescase. On December 16, 2016, Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC for a general rate increase of $106.4 million over revenues at current effective rates (for a 6.9% increase in revenues), based on a 2017 test year and an 8.28% rate of return (which incorporates a ROACE of 10.6% and a capital structure that includes a 57.4% common equity capitalization) on a $2.0 billion rate base. The requested increase is primarily to pay for operating costs and for system upgrades to increase reliability, improve customer service and integrate more renewable energy. In its application, Hawaiian Electric is also proposing implementation of performance based regulation (PBR) mechanisms related to its performance in the areas of customer service, reliability and communication relating to the private rooftop solar interconnection process. Hawaiian Electric proposed an expansion of the range of fuel usage efficiencies under which fuel costs would be fully passed through to customers, and an additional trigger that would allow a re-establishment of fuel usage efficiency targets under certain conditions.
On December 23, 2016,October 22, 2020, the PUC issued an order consolidatinga final D&O approving the Hawaiian Electric filings forstipulated settlement agreement filed in the 2014 test year abbreviated rate case andproceeding. As a result, there will be no increase in base electric rates established in the 2017 test year rate case. In the final D&O, the PUC approved the capital structure that consists of a 58% total equity ratio, and a ROACE of 9.5% for the 2020 test year. The order also found and concluded that Hawaiian Electric's abbreviated 2014resulting return on rate case filing did not comply with: (1)base (RORB) is 7.37%. The D&O approved the Mandatory Triennial Rate Case Cycle requirementagreement to implement the overall lower depreciation rates approved in the decoupling order thatlast depreciation study proceeding, effective January 1, 2020. See “Annual revenue adjustment mechanism” under “Performance-based regulation framework” above, regarding the PUC’s decision on the treatment of Hawaiian Electric’s Management Audit savings commitment. Hawaiian Electric’s proposed RBA provision tariff and ECRC tariff submitted on November 6, 2020 were approved by the PUC on December 11, 2020 and took effect on January 1, 2021.
Hawaii Electric file an application for a general rate case every three years and (2) the requirement that Hawaiian Electric file its 2014 calendarLight 2019 test year rate case application by June 27, 2014. The order then stated that: “[T]he determination. On July 28, 2020, the PUC issued a final D&O, approving the Stipulated Partial Settlement Letter in part and disposition of anyordering final rates accounts, adjustment mechanisms, and practices that would have been subject to review infor the context of a 20142019 test year rate case proceeding are subject to remain at current effective rates such that there is a zero increase in rates. The PUC determined that an appropriate adjustment basedROACE for the 2019 test year is 9.5%, approved a capital structure of 58% total equity and approved as fair a 7.52% RORB. In addition, the order, among others, (1) approved a 10-year amortization period for the state investment tax credit; and (2) approved a modification to Hawaii Electric Light’s ECRC to incorporate a 98%/2% risk-sharing split between customers and Hawaii Electric Light with an annual maximum exposure cap of +/- $600,000. The proposed final tariffs and PIM tariffs took effect on evidenceNovember 1, 2020, and findings in the consolidated rate case proceeding.”ECRC tariff took effect on January 1, 2021.

On January 4, 2017, Hawaiian Electric filed a motion for clarification and/or partial reconsiderationpendency of the PUC’s order.Governor’s Emergency Proclamation and until otherwise ordered by the PUC. In future proceedings, the PUC will consider the reasonableness of the costs, the appropriate period of recovery, any amount of carrying costs thereon, and any savings directly attributable to suspension of disconnects, and other related matters. As part of the order, the PUC prohibits the Utilities from charging late payment fees on past due payments. On March 14, 2017,June 30, 2020, the PUC issued an order to address Hawaiian Electric’s motion, stating thatapproving the Utilities’ request made in April 2020 for deferral treatment of COVID-19 related costs through December 31, 2020. On March 8, 2021, the PUC is not initiating an investigation/enforcementapproved the Utilities’ request to extend the deferral period to June 30, 2021. The Utilities are required to file quarterly reports to update the Utilities’ financial condition, report measures in place to assist their customers during the COVID-19 emergency situation, identify the planned deferred costs and details for the deferred costs, and identify funds received or benefits received that have resulted from the COVID-19 emergency period. The recovery of the regulatory assets would be determined in a subsequent proceeding against Hawaiian Electric regarding its compliance withand management believes the decoupling order,deferred costs are probable of recovery. In addition, starting in December 2020 and monthly moving forward until otherwise ordered by the transferPUC, the Utilities are required to file information on, among other things, number of customers, arrears balances, payment arrangements entered into, and consolidation of Hawaiian Electric’s 2014 abbreviated rate case with the 2017 rate caseavailable assistance used to assists customer bill payment. The monthly report is intended to ensure that ratepayers receive the attendant benefits of Hawaiian Electric’s decision to voluntarily forgo a general rate increase in base rates for its mandated 2014 test year. As directed, on April 12, 2017, Hawaiian Electric filed a supplement to its 2017 rate case filing, addressing the items raised in the order and explaining why Hawaiian Electric’s forgoing of a general rate increase in the 2014 test year should not result in any further adjustments to Hawaiian Electric’s revenue requirement in the 2017 test year.
On April 26, 2017,assist the PUC issued an Orderin determining next steps regarding appropriate regulatory measures. As of March 31, 2021, the supplement to Hawaiian Electric’s 2017 rate case filing, requesting updated pension and OPEB regulatory asset and liability schedules, by May 12, 2017, to reflect the useUtilities recorded a total of the 2014 net periodic pension cost (NPPC) and net periodic benefits costs (NPBC) for the pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms and with amortization of such$22.2 million in regulatory assets and liabilities beginning May 1, 2015. On May 12, 2017, Hawaiian Electric filed these schedules and on May 31, 2017, supplemented its May 12, 2017 filing to show the cumulative impact of the 2015-2017 change in employee benefits transferred to capital as a result of the change in the amortization of the pension and OPEB regulatory assets and liabilities.
On June 28, 2017, the PUC issued an order designating the filing date of Hawaiian Electric’s completed rate case application to be May 31, 2017 (the date that supplemental pension-related information described above was filed) rather than December 16, 2016, (the date of the filing of the rate case application). On July 28, 2017, the PUC issued a procedural schedule that includes Hawaiian Electric and the Consumer Advocate submitting statements of probable entitlement on November 17, 2017, an interim D&O tentatively scheduled for December 15, 2017, and an evidentiary hearing in early March 2018.
Maui Electric consolidated 2015 test year abbreviated and 2018 test year rate cases. On June 9, 2017, Maui Electric filed a notice of intent with the PUC to file a general rate case application by December 30, 2017 for a 2018 test year. On August 4, 2017, the PUC issued an order consolidating the Maui Electric filings for the 2015 test year abbreviated rate case and the 2018 test year rate case. Similarpursuant to the PUC’s conclusion regarding Hawaiian Electric’s 2014 abbreviated rate case filing, the order also found and concluded that Maui Electric’s 2015 test year abbreviated rate case filing did not comply with the Mandatory Triennial Rate Case Cycle requirement in the decoupling order that Maui Electric file an application for a general rate case every three years. The order further stated that the PUC is not initiating an investigation/enforcement proceeding against Maui Electric regarding its compliance with the decoupling order, and the transfer and consolidation of Maui Electric’s 2015 abbreviated rate case with the 2018 rate case is intended to ensure that ratepayers receive the attendant benefits of Maui Electric’s decision to voluntarily forgo a general rate increase in base rates for its mandated 2015 test year. The order stated that: “[T]he determination and disposition of any rates, accounts, adjustment mechanisms, and practices that would have been subject to review in the context of a 2015 test year rate case proceeding are subject to appropriate adjustment based on evidence and findings in the consolidated rate case proceeding.”orders.
On October 12, 2017, Maui Electric filed its 2018 test year rate case application with the PUC for a general rate increase of $30.1 million over revenues at current effective rates (for a 9.3% increase in revenues) based on a 2018 test year and an 8.05% rate of return (which incorporates a ROACE of 10.6% and a capital structure that includes a 56.9% common equity capitalization) on a $473 million rate base. The requested rate increase is primarily to pay for operating costs, including system upgrades to increase reliability, integrate more renewable energy, and improve customer service. Further, Maui Electric requested that if a decision in a docket (filed in December 2016) seeking approval of new depreciation rates is rendered prior to new rates being established in the Maui Electric 2018 test year rate case, the new electric rates be based on the depreciation rates as a result of that docket. If the proposed depreciation rates are used to calculate Maui Electric’s 2018 test year revenue requirement, the requested revenue increase would be $46.6 million (14.3%) over revenues at current effective rates. Maui Electric filed an exhibit with information responding to the PUC’s consolidation order. Similar to Hawaiian Electric’s response, Maui Electric explained why its forgoing of a general rate increase in the 2015 test year should not result in any further adjustments to Maui Electric’s revenue requirement in the 2018 test year.
Hawaii Electric Light 2016 test year rate case. On September 19, 2016, Hawaii Electric Light filed an application with the PUC for a general rate increase of $19.3 million over revenues at current effective rates (for a 6.5% increase in revenues), based on an 8.44% rate of return (which incorporates a ROACE of 10.60%). The last rate increase in base rates for Hawaii Electric Light was in January 2011. The requested increase is to cover higher operating costs (including expanded vegetation management focusing on albizia tree removal and increased pension costs) and system upgrades to increase reliability, improve customer service and integrate more renewable energy. In its application, Hawaii Electric Light is also proposing implementation of PBR mechanisms similar to those proposed by Hawaiian Electric. In addition, Hawaii Electric Light proposed an equal sharing of fuel expenses outside the fuel usage efficiency target range.

On July 11, 2017, Hawaii Electric Light and the Consumer Advocate filed a Stipulated Settlement Letter, which documented agreements reached with the Consumer Advocate on all of the issues in the proceeding, except for whether the stipulated ROACE should be reduced from 9.75% (by up to 25 basis points) based solely on the impact of decoupling, considering current circumstances and relevant precedents. On August 21, 2017, the PUC issued an order granting an interim rate increase of $9.9 million, based on the Stipulated Settlement and an ROACE of 9.5% and subject to refund, with interest, if it exceeds amounts allowed in a final order. The interim rate increase was implemented on August 31, 2017.

Credit quality.  ASB performs an internal loan review and grading on an ongoing basis. The review provides management with periodic information as to the quality of the loan portfolio and effectiveness of its lending policies and procedures. The objectives of the loan review and grading procedures are to identify, in a timely manner, existing or emerging credit trends so that appropriate steps can be initiated to manage risk and avoid or minimize future losses. Loans subject to grading include commercial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans.
Each commercial and commercial real estate loan is assigned an Asset Quality Rating (AQR) reflecting the likelihood of repayment or orderly liquidation of that loan transaction pursuant to regulatory credit classifications:  Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. The AQR is a function of the probability of default model rating, the loss given default, and possible non-model factors which impact the ultimate collectability of the loan such as character of the business owner/guarantor, interim period performance, litigation, tax liens and major changes in business and economic conditions. Pass exposures generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral. Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, could jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the BankASB may sustain some loss. An asset classified Doubtful has the weaknesses of those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. An asset classified Loss is considered uncollectible and has such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.

*Since loan was classified as impaired.
Troubled debt restructurings.  A loan modification is deemed to be a troubled debt restructuring (TDR)TDR when the borrower is determined to be experiencing financial difficulties and ASB grants a concession it would not otherwise consider were it notconsider.
The allowance for the borrower’s financial difficulty. When a borrower experiencing financial difficulty fails to make a required paymentcredit losses on a loan or is in imminent default, ASB takes a number of steps to improve the collectibility of the loan and maximize the likelihood of full repayment. At times, ASB may modify or restructure a loan to help a distressed borrower improve its financial position to eventually be able to fully repay the loan, provided the borrower has demonstrated both the willingness and the ability to fulfill the modified terms. TDR loans that do not share risk characteristics are considered an alternative to foreclosure or liquidation with the goal of minimizing losses to ASB and maximizing recovery.
ASB may consider various types of concessions in granting a TDR including maturity date extensions, extended amortization of principal, temporary deferral of principal payments and temporary interest rate reductions. ASB rarely grants principal forgiveness in its TDR modifications. Residential loan modifications generally involve interest rate reduction,

extending the amortization period, or capitalizing certain delinquent amounts owed not to exceed the original loan balance. Land loans at origination are typically structured as a three-year term, interest-only monthly payment with a balloon payment due at maturity. Land loan TDR modifications typically involve extending the maturity date up to five years and converting the payments from interest-only to principal and interest monthly, at the same or higher interest rate. Commercial loan modifications generally involve extensions of maturity dates, extending the amortization period and temporary deferral or reduction of principal payments. ASB generally does not reduce the interest rate on commercial loan TDR modifications. Occasionally, additional collateral and/or guaranties are obtained.
All TDR loans are classified as impaired and are segregated and reviewed separately when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan lossesindividually evaluated based on the appropriate method of measuring impairment:  (1) present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective original contractual rate (2)or based on the fair value of collateral less cost to sell or (3) observable market price.sell. The financial impact of the calculated impairment amountestimated loss is an increase to the allowance associated with the modified loan. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible (confirmed losses), these amounts are charged off against the allowance for loancredit losses.

If loansa loan modified in a TDR subsequently default,defaults, ASB evaluates the loan for further impairment. Based on its evaluation, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. Commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in a TDR totaled nil and $2.6 millionNaN at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2020.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the FRB, the FDIC, the National Credit Union Administration, the OCC, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020). Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to accounting for loan modifications, past due reporting and nonaccrual status and charge-offs.
Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. The agencies confirmed with the FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payment. Financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement. If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral. Lastly, during short-term COVID-19 modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual or as classified.

ASB capitalizes mortgage servicing rightsMSRs acquired through either the purchase or upon the sale of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. On a monthly basis, ASB compares the net carrying value of the mortgage servicing rightsMSRs to its fair value to determine if there are any changes to the valuation allowance and/or other-than-temporary impairment for the mortgage servicing rights. ASB’s MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type such as fixed-rate 15 and 30 year mortgages and note rate in bands of 50 to 100 basis points. For each stratum, fair value is calculated by discounting expected net income streams using discount rates that reflect industry pricing for similar assets. Changes in mortgage interest rates impact the value of ASB’s mortgage servicing rights. Rising interest rates typically result in slower prepayment speeds in the loans being serviced for others, which increases the value of mortgage servicing rights, whereas declining interest rates typically result in faster prepayment speeds which decrease the value of mortgage servicing rights and increase the amortization of the mortgage servicing rights. Expected net income streams are estimated based on industry assumptions regarding prepayment expectations and income and expenses associated with servicing residential mortgage loans for others.MSRs.
ASB uses a present value cash flow model using techniques described above to estimate the fair value of MSRs. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum when the carrying amount exceeds fair value, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing fees included in “Revenues - bank” in the consolidated statements of income. A direct write-down is recorded when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is deemed to be unrecoverable.

The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase are book-entry securities and were delivered by appropriate entry into the counterparties’ accounts or into segregated tri-party custodial accounts at the FHLB. The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase continue to be reflected in ASB’s asset accounts.
Derivative financial instruments. ASB enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with borrowers, and forward commitments to sell loans or to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities to investors to hedge against the inherent interest rate and pricing risks associated with selling loans.
ASB enters into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit ASB to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose ASB to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in mortgage banking income.
ASB enters into forward commitments to hedge the interest rate risk for rate locked mortgage applications in process and closed mortgage loans held for sale. These commitments are primarily forward sales of to-be-announced mortgage backed securities. Generally, when mortgage loans are closed, the forward commitment is liquidated and replaced with a mandatory delivery forward sale of the mortgage to a secondary market investor. In some cases, a best-efforts forward sale agreement is utilized as the forward commitment. These commitments are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in mortgage banking income.
Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and forward commitments subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

1 Three months ended March 31, 2021 amounts include the one-time cumulative impact of the change in accounting principle for the plans’ fixed income securities from the calculated market-related value method to the fair value method, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2021.
HEI consolidated recorded retirement benefits expense of $25$11 million ($22 million by the Utilities) and $26 million ($2312 million by the Utilities) in the first ninethree months of 20172021 and 2016, respectively,$15 million ($14 million by the Utilities) in the first three months of 2020 and charged the remaining net periodic benefit cost primarily to electric utility plant.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted a change in accounting principle for the plans’ fixed income securities from the calculated market-related value method to the fair value method in the calculation of the expected return on plan assets component of NPPC and NPBC. The remaining plan assets continue to use the calculated market-related value methodology. The Company considers the fair value approach to be preferable for its fixed-income securities portfolio because it results in a current reflection of the changes in the value of plan assets in a way similar to the obligations it is intended to hedge. The Company evaluated the effect of this change in accounting principle and deemed it to be immaterial to the historical financial statements of the Company and Hawaiian Electric and, therefore, did not account for the change retrospectively and recorded the cumulative effects from the change in accounting principle in earnings for non-Utility businesses in the first quarter of 2021.

Amounts related to the Utilities were reflected as adjustments to regulatory assets as appropriate, consistent with the expected regulatory treatment as described in the following paragraph.
The Utilities have implemented pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms under which all of their retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses) determined in accordance with GAAP are recovered over time. Under the tracking mechanisms, these retirement benefitany actual costs determined in accordance with GAAP that are over/under amounts allowed in rates are charged/credited to a regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset/liability for each utility will then be amortized over 5 years beginning with the issuance of the PUC’s D&O in the respective utility’s next rate case.
Defined contribution plans information.  For the first ninethree months of 20172021 and 2016,2020, the Company’s expenses for its defined contribution pension plans under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP) and the ASB 401(k) Plan were $5.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and cash contributions were $5.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Long-term incentive plan payable in stock.  The 2017-20192019-2021, 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 long-term incentive planplans (LTIP) providesprovide for performance awards under the EIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals, including a market condition goal. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made, subject to the achievement of specified performance levels and calculated dividend equivalents. The potential payout varies from 0% to 200% of the number of target shares, depending on the achievement of the goals. The market condition goal is based on HEI’s total shareholder return (TSR) compared to the Edison Electric Institute Index over the relevant three-year period. The other performance condition goals relate to EPS growth, return on average common equity (ROACE) and, renewable portfolio standards, Hawaiian Electric’s net income growth, ASB’s efficiency ratio.

Note 12 ·Fair value measurements
Fair value estimates are estimates of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the Company and the Utilities use their own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the Company or the Utilities were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the Company’s and the Utilities’ financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates but have not been considered in making such estimates.
The Company and the Utilities group their financial assets measured at fair value in three levels outlined as follows:

53


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued(Unaudited)


Level 1:Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2:Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3:Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Classification in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. For instruments classified in Level 1 and 2 where inputs are primarily based upon observable market data, there is less judgment applied in arriving at the fair value. For instruments classified in Level 3, management judgment is more significant due to the lack of observable market data.
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate certain assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of nonrecurring uses of fair value include mortgage servicing rights accounted for by the amortization method, loan impairments for certain loans and goodwill.
Fair value measurement and disclosure valuation methodology. The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Short-term borrowings—other than bank.  The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment securities. The fair value of ASB’s investment securities is determined quarterly through pricing obtained from independent third-party pricing services or from brokers not affiliated with the trade. Non-binding broker quotes are infrequent and generally occur for new securities that are settled close to the month-end pricing date. The third-party pricing vendors ASB uses for pricing its securities are reputable firms that provide pricing services on a global basis and have processes in place to ensure quality and control. The third-party pricing services use a variety of methods to determine the fair value of securities that fall under Level 2 of the ASB’s fair value measurement hierarchy. Among the considerations are quoted prices for similar securities in an active market, yield spreads for similar trades, adjustments for liquidity, size, collateral characteristics, historic and generic prepayment speeds, and other observable market factors.
To enhance the robustness of the pricing process, ASB will on a quarterly basis compare its standard third-party vendor’s price with that of another third-party vendor. If the prices are within an acceptable tolerance range, the price of the standard vendor will be accepted. If the variance is beyond the tolerance range, an evaluation will be conducted by ASB and a challenge to the price may be made. Fair value in such cases will be based on the value that best reflects the data and observable characteristics of the security. In all cases, the fair value used will have been independently determined by a third-party pricing vendor or non-affiliated broker.
The fair value of the mortgage revenue bondbonds is estimated using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of future principal and interest payments and, therefore is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Loans held for sale. Residential and commercial loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and are valued using market observable pricing inputs, which are derived from third party loan sales and, securitizations and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Commercial loans are valued at quoted market prices determined in the active market in which the loans are traded.
Loans held for investment. Fair value of loans held for investment is derived using a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the underlying loan characteristics. The valuation model uses loan characteristics which includes product type, maturity dates and the underlying interest rate of the portfolio. This information is input into the valuation models along with various forecast valuation assumptions including prepayment forecasts, to determine the discount rate. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party sources. NotingSince the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, ASB includes loans held for investment within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

ImpairedCollateral dependent loans. At the timeCollateral dependent loans have been adjusted to fair value. When a loan is considered impaired, it is valued atidentified as collateral dependent, the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined primarily byCompany measures the impairment using an income, cost or market approach and is normally provided through appraisals. Impaired loans carried atthe current fair value generally receive specific allocations withinof the allowance forcollateral, less selling costs. Depending on the characteristics of a loan, losses. For collateral-dependent loans,the fair value of collateral is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. Thesegenerally estimated by obtaining external appraisals, may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales andbut in some cases, the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments typically result in a Level 3 classificationvalue of the inputs for determining faircollateral may be estimated as having little or no value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Generally, impaired loans are evaluated quarterly for additionalIf it is determined that the value of the collateral dependent loan is less than its recorded investment, the Company recognizes this impairment and adjusted accordingly.adjusts the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for credit losses.
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Foreclosed assets are carried at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) and are generally based upon appraisals or independent market prices that are periodically updated subsequent to classification as real estate owned. Such adjustments typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. ASB estimates the fair value of collateral-dependent loans and real estate owned using the sales comparison approach.
Mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)MSRs are capitalized at fair value based on market data at the time of sale and accounted for in subsequent periods at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Mortgage servicing rightsMSRs are evaluated for impairment at each reporting date. ASB's MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type and note rate. For each stratum, fair value is calculated by discounting expected net income streams using discount rates that reflect industry pricing for similar assets. Expected net income streams are estimated based on industry assumptions regarding prepayment expectations and income and expenses associated with servicing residential mortgage loans for others. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum when the carrying amount exceeds fair value, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing fees included in "Revenues - bank" in the consolidated statements of income. A direct write-down is recorded when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is deemed to be unrecoverable. ASB compares the fair value of MSRs to an estimated value calculated by an independent third-party. The third-party relies on both published and unpublished sources of market related assumptions and theirits own experience and expertise to arrive at a value. ASB uses the third-party value only to assess the reasonableness of its own estimate.
Time deposits. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for depositsFHLB advances of similar remaining maturities. Deposit liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Other borrowings. For fixed-rate advances and repurchase agreements, fair value is estimated using quantitative discounted cash flow models that require the use of interest rate inputs that are currently offered for advances and repurchase agreements of similar remaining maturities. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including broker market transactions and third party pricing services.
Long-term debt—other than bank.  Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt of HEI and the Utilitiesdebt—other than bank was obtained from third-party financial services providers based on the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities and from discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar risks, terms, and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of floating rate long-term debt—other than bank approximated fair value because of the short-term interest reset periods. Long-term debt—other than bank is classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs). The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. IRLCs are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Forward sales commitments. To be announced (TBA) mortgage-backed securities forward commitments are classified as Level 1, and consist of publicly-traded debt securities for which identical fair values can be obtained through quoted market prices in active exchange markets. The fair values of ASB’s best efforts and mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined using quoted prices in the market place that are observable and are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Window forward contracts. The estimated fair value of the Utilities’ window forward contracts was obtained from a third-party financial services provider based on the effective exchange rate offered for the foreign currency denominated transaction. Window forward contracts are classified as Level 2 measurements.

The following table presents the carrying or notional amount, fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments. For stock in Federal Home Loan Bank, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because it can only be redeemed at par. For bank-owned life insurance, the carrying amount is the cash surrender value of the insurance policies, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings and money market deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as

ASB holds one mortgageMortgage revenue bondbonds are issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii. The Company estimates the fair value by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments. The unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the weighted average discount rate. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the weighted average discount rate was 2.826%2.07%, which was derived by incorporating a credit spread over the one month LIBOR rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

12 · Termination of proposed merger and other matters
On December 3, 2014, HEI, NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) and two subsidiaries of NEE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), under which Hawaiian Electric was to become a subsidiary of NEE. The Merger Agreement contemplated that, prior to the Merger, HEI would distribute to its shareholders all of the common stock of ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), the parent company of ASB (such distribution referred to as the Spin-Off).
The closing of the Merger was subject to various conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval from the PUC. In July 2016: (1) the PUC dismissed NEE and Hawaiian Electric’s application requesting approval of the proposed Merger, (2) NEE terminated the Merger Agreement and (3) pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NEE paid HEI a $90 million termination fee and $5 million for the reimbursement of expenses associated with the transaction. In 2016, the Company recognized $60 million of net income ($2 million of net loss in each of the first and second quarters and $64 million of net income in the third quarter), comprised of the termination fee ($55 million), reimbursements of expenses from NEE and insurance ($3 million), and additional tax benefits on the previously non-tax-deductible merger- and Spin-Off-related expenses incurred through June 30, 2016 ($8 million), less merger- and Spin-Off-related expenses incurred in 2016 ($6 million) (all net of income tax impacts). The Spin-Off of ASB Hawaii was cancelled as it was cross-conditioned on the merger consummation.
In May 2016, the Utilities had filed an application for approval of an liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply and transport agreement and LNG-related capital equipment, which application was conditioned on the PUC’s approval of the proposed Merger. Subsequently, the Utilities terminated the LNG agreement and withdrew the application. In 2016, Hawaiian Electric recognized expenses related to the terminated LNG agreement of $1 million, net of tax benefits, in each of the first and second quarters.


Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion updates “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s 20162020 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with such discussion and the 20162020 annual consolidated financial statements of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and notes thereto included in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s 20162020 Form 10-K, as well as the quarterly (as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017)March 31, 2021) condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q.
HEI consolidated
Recent developments—COVID-19.
In 2020, the Company made significant progress on a number of strategic initiatives despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the community, customers, and employees, including advancing the state’s renewable energy transition through Hawaii’s largest-ever renewable energy and storage procurements, preparing for and implementing the new PBR framework to facilitate the renewable energy transition and align the regulatory framework with customer interests and policy goals, and accelerating the Bank’s digital Anytime, Anywhere Banking model.
In 2021, while economic conditions have improved, the Company’s top priority remains unchanged, which is to ensure the continued safety and well-being of customers, employees, their families and the community. The Company’s mandatory work-from-home policy remains in effect through July 30, 2021 for certain employees and this policy has not impaired the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. For personnel that cannot perform their work remotely, the Company has maintained safety protocols and policies to keep employees safe, while at the same time ensuring the reliability and resilience of its operations.
New COVID-19 cases in Hawaii have remained at a relatively low level, approximately 77 average daily new cases in the last seven days per 100,000 residents as of April 27, 2021, and new cases have been on a downtrend since early April. Hawaii vaccinations have increased at a rapid pace, with approximately 37% of the state’s population fully vaccinated as of April 27, 2021. On April 19, the City & County of Honolulu opened vaccinations to all persons age 16 and older, which is expected to further accelerate the pace and proportion of the population vaccinated.
In light of the ongoing global COVID-19 vaccination effort and the gradual reopening of economies, the Company expects that the Hawaii economy will begin to improve at an increasing pace. However, in the first quarter of 2021, kWh sales continue to be impacted and decreased 4.8% compared to the first quarter of 2020 as the demand for electricity continues to remain lower than pre-pandemic levels. While the decrease in kWh sales does not affect Utility revenues due to decoupling, it may increase the price per kWh paid by customers. See “Current Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling. At the Bank, lower net charge offs, improved credit quality as a result of an overall strengthening of the Hawaii economy, and credit upgrades within the commercial loan portfolio resulted in a $8.4 million provision reversal in the first quarter of 2021 to reduce the allowance for credit losses. For further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our subsidiaries see “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the Electric Utility and Bank sections below. There has been no material impact on the “Other” segment and Pacific Current as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as the primary businesses of Pacific Current are supported by PPAs that provide for contractual cash flows with credit-worthy counterparties.
For a discussion regarding the impact of the economic conditions caused by the pandemic on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, see discussion under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources,” contained in each of the “HEI Consolidated,” “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections of this MD&A.
Environmental, Social & Governance.
At HEI, environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and sustainability have long been fundamental values embedded within all aspects of the Company’s activities. With all of its operations in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Company’s long-term health, and ability to deliver sustainable value for all stakeholders—including shareholders—is inextricably linked to the well-being of its employees, communities, economy, and environment. That is why the Company sees its mission of being a catalyst for a better Hawaii as advancing the Company’s long-term financial sustainability. The Company has focused on ensuring ESG considerations are appropriately integrated into its governance structures, strategies and risk management. This includes:
Integration of Board oversight of important ESG matters into its existing governance structures and processes. This includes full Board review of ESG-related strategies, Audit & Risk Committee oversight of ESG risks, Compensation Committee responsibility for ESG-related compensation matters and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee responsibility for human capital management and for ensuring an appropriate board governance framework is in place with respect to ESG.
51


Robust ESG expertise among board members, including directors with direct experience in renewable energy, climate change policy and strategy, environmental management and sustainable investing.
Expanded ESG goals as part of HEI and utility executive incentive compensation.
ESG considerations explicitly woven into strategic planning efforts and enterprise risk management processes.
The Company is committed to transparency and providing information to allow customers, community leaders, investors and other stakeholders understand how the Company’s strategies and operations advance ESG objectives and contribute to long-term value creation.
The Company issued its first ESG report in September 2020. The report encompassed ESG policies, principles and results reported during 2019 across the Company’s two primary operating subsidiaries, Hawaiian Electric and ASB, and was aligned with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidance—using the electric utilities standard for Hawaiian Electric, and the commercial banks, commercial finance, and mortgage finance standards for ASB. On April 22, 2021, the Company issued its second ESG report. This report continues to include SASB disclosures for Hawaiian Electric and ASB and incorporates disclosures regarding risks and opportunities related to climate change, as well as associated risk management and governance processes, based on recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. It also outlines key impacts for the Company under two climate scenarios, including a scenario targeted to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius or lower. The Company’s ESG reports can be found at www.hei.com/esg.

After three quartersThe CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The economic relief package totals more than $2 trillion and provides direct economic support to businesses and individuals. On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the $900 billion economic stimulus package that provides, among others, direct payments to qualifying individuals, extended unemployment benefits, and additional small business aid. On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The plan will send direct payments of 2017, up to $1,400 to most Americans. The bill will also extend a $300 per week unemployment insurance boost until September 6 and expand the child tax credit for a year. It will also put nearly $20 billion into COVID-19 vaccinations, $25 billion into rental and utility assistance, and $350 billion into state, local and tribal relief. Hawaii has received a significant amount of funds through these various federal assistance programs that will help attenuate the impact to Hawaii’s economy.
In September 2020, the City and County of Honolulu announced a framework for reducing the spread of COVID-19 on Oahu, which tracks metrics that dictate the extent of restrictions on businesses and activities. There are four tiers with Tier 1 being the most restrictive. The minimum amount of time spent in each tier is four weeks. In order to move to the next higher tier, the last two weeks of a tier must meet the higher tier’s criteria. If a lower tier’s average daily case count is realized for two weeks in a row, the county will move back to the lower tier for a minimum of four weeks.

Hawaii’s tourism industry, a significant driver of Hawaii’s economy, endedsuffered dramatically with strong growtha 73.8% reduction in bothtotal visitor spendingarrivals in 2020 compared with 2019. Starting October 15, 2020, the state launched its Safe Travels Program that allows travelers to avoid the mandatory 14-day quarantine if they test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of departure. Since the launch of the program, the average daily passenger arrivals have gradually improved, but remain below pre-pandemic levels. For the first quarter of 2021, passenger counts were 56.2% lower than the comparable period in the prior year, which included pre-pandemic travel activity, and arrivals. Visitor expendituresaveraged 11,018 passengers per day. However, with the ongoing vaccination efforts across the nation and the implementation of the Safe Travels Program, average daily passenger counts have steadily increased 7.1%throughout the quarter, with March counts 117% above January counts and a new 2021 year-to-date high of 22,913 daily visitor arrivals increased 4.9%was achieved on April 3, 2021.

The CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The economic relief package totals more than $2 trillion and provides direct economic support to businesses and individuals. On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the $900 billion economic stimulus package that its abilityprovides, among others, direct payments to generate cash, both internallyqualifying individuals, extended unemployment benefits, and additional small business aid. On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The plan will send direct payments of up to $1,400 to most Americans. The bill will also extend a $300 per week unemployment insurance boost until September 6 and expand the child tax credit for a year. It will also put nearly $20 billion into COVID-19 vaccinations, $25 billion into rental and utility assistance, and $350 billion into state, local and tribal relief. Hawaii has received a significant amount of funds through these various federal assistance programs that will help attenuate the impact to Hawaii’s economy.
In September 2020, the City and County of Honolulu announced a framework for reducing the spread of COVID-19 on Oahu, which tracks metrics that dictate the extent of restrictions on businesses and activities. There are four tiers with Tier 1 being the most restrictive. The minimum amount of time spent in each tier is four weeks. In order to move to the next higher tier, the last two weeks of a tier must meet the higher tier’s criteria. If a lower tier’s average daily case count is realized for two weeks in a row, the county will move back to the lower tier for a minimum of four weeks. On February 25, 2021, the county of Honolulu moved from electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, commercial paper and bank borrowings, is adequateTier 2 to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributionsTier 3, which allows greater density for business and other cash requirementssocial activities.

Due to the effects of the measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawaii’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in March 2021 was 9.0%, which was substantially higher compared to the March 2020 rate of 2.1%. The consolidated capital structurenational unemployment rate in March 2021 was 6.0% compared to 4.4% in March 2020.

In December 2014, HEI filed an omnibus registration statement to register an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities.
For the first nine months of 2017, net cash provided by operating activities of HEI consolidated was $291 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $440 million, primarily due to Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated capital expenditures and ASB’s purchases of investment securities, partly offset by ASB’s receipt of repayments from investment securities, proceeds from the sale of commercial loans and net decrease in loans held for investment and Hawaiian Electric’s contributions in aid of construction. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $73 millionHawaii, Inc.

Also included in cash provided by financing activities were proceeds from the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs), which were offset by the transfer of funds to a trustee for the redemption of previously issued SPRBs. Other than capital contributions from their parent company, intercompany services (and related intercompany payables and receivables), Hawaiian Electric’s periodic short-term borrowings from HEI (and related interest) and the payment of dividends to HEI, the electric utility and bank segments are largely autonomous in their operating, investing and financing activities. (See the electric utility and bank segments’ discussions of their cash flows in their respective “Financial condition—Liquidity and capital resources” sections below.) During the first nine months of 2017, Hawaiian Electric and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $66 million and $28 million, respectively.


CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company’s results of operations and financial condition can be affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and could cause future results of operations to differ materially from historical results. For information about certain of these factors, see pages 47, 62 to 64, and 73 to 75 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2016 Form 10-K.
Additional factors that may affect future results and financial condition are described on pages iv and v under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company’s financial statements—that is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and currently require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies, see pages 48 to 49, 64 to 65, and 75 to 78 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2016 Form 10-K.

Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated ROACE was 7.2% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, and 8.1% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016.*     Also, see segment discussions which follow.
The Utilities’ consolidated KWH sales have declined each year since 2007. Based on expectations of additional customer renewable self-generation and energy-efficiency installations, the Utilities’ full year 2017 KWH sales are expected to be below the 2016 level.
The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of September 30, 2017 amounted to $4 billion, of which approximately 25% related to production PPE, 67% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 8% related to other PPE. Approximately 11% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission. See “Adequacy of supply” below.
See “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.


Executive overview and strategy. The Utilities provide electricity on all the principal islands in the state other than Kauai and operate five separate grids. The Utilities’ mission is to provide innovative energy leadership for Hawaii, to meet the needs and expectations of customers and communities, and to empower them with affordable, reliable and clean energy. The goal is to create a modern, flexible and dynamic electric grid that enables an optimal mix of distributed energy resources (such as private rooftop solar), demand response and grid-scale resources to achieve the statutory goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Transition to renewable energy. The Utilities are committed to assisting the State of Hawaii in achieving its Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045. Hawaii’s Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) law was revised in the 2015 Legislature and requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 15%, 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2015, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. The Utilities have been successful in adding significant amounts of renewable energy resources to their electric systems and exceeded the 2015 RPS goal. The Utilities' RPS for 2016 was about 26% and on its way to achieving the 2020 RPS goal of 30%. (See "Developments in renewable energy efforts” below).
In April 2014, the PUC issued orders that collectively address certain key policy, resource planning and operational issues for the Utilities. The April 2014 regulatory orders were to address: (1) Integrated Resource Planning and Power Supply Improvement Plans (PSIPs), (2) Reliability Standards Working Group, and (3) Policy Statement and Order Regarding Demand Response Programs, which are described below. The PUC also provided its inclinations on the future of Hawaii’s electric utilities in one of the orders. The PUC provided its perspectives on the vision, business strategies and regulatory policy changes required to align the Utilities' business model with customers’ interests and the state’s public policy goals.
Integrated Resource Planning and Power Supply Improvement Plans. The PUC did not accept the Utilities’ Integrated Resource Plan and Action Plans submission, and, in lieu of an approved plan, commenced other initiatives to enable resource planning. As required by the PUC orders, the Utilities filed proposed PSIPs with the PUC in August 2014. Updated PSIPs were filed in April 2016 and December 2016 in response to PUC orders. The PSIPs provided plans to achieve 100% renewable energy using a diverse mix of energy resources by 2045. Under these plans, the Utilities support sustainable growth of private rooftop solar, expand use of energy storage systems, empower customers by developing smart grids and offer new products and services to customers (e.g., community solar, microgrids and voluntary “demand response” programs).
In the December 2016 PSIP Update Report, the updated plans describe greater and faster expansion of the Utilities’ renewable energy portfolio than in the plans filed in April 2016. The plans include the continued growth of private rooftop solar and describe the grid and generation modernization work needed to reliably integrate an estimated total of 165,000 private systems by 2030, and additional grid-scale renewable energy resources. The Utilities already have the highest percentage of customers using private rooftop solar of any utility in the U.S. and customer-sited resources are seen as a key contributor to the growth of the renewable portfolio on every island. In addition, the plans forecast the addition of 360 MW of grid-scale solar and 157 MW of grid-scale wind, with 32 MW derived from community-based renewable energy (CBRE). The plans also include 115 MW from Demand Response (DR) programs, which can shift customer use of electricity to times when more renewable energy is available, potentially making room to add even more renewable resources. Unlike the April 2016 updated PSIPs, the December 2016 update does not include the use of LNG to generate power in the near-term or the Kahe 3x1 Combined Cycle Plant. While LNG remains a potential lower-cost bridge fuel to be evaluated, the Utilities’ priority is to continue replacing fossil fuel generation with renewables over the next five years as federalCompany’s effective tax incentives for renewables begin to phase out. An interisland cable is not in the near-term plan, which states that its costs and benefits should continue to be evaluated. The December 2016 Update Report emphasizes work that is in progress or planned over the next five years on each of the five islands the Utilities serve.
On July 14, 2017, the PUC accepted the Utilities’ PSIP December 2016 Update Report and closed the proceeding. In its order, the PUC provided guidance regarding the implementation of the Utilities’ near-term action plan and future planning activities, requiring the Utilities to file a report that details an updated resource planning approach and schedule by March 1, 2018. The PUC order stated that it intends to use the PSIPs in conjunction with its evaluation of specific filings for approval of capital and other projects.
Reliability standards working group. In April 2014, the PUC ordered the Utilities to take timely actions intended to lower energy costs, improve system reliability and address emerging challenges to integrate additional renewable energy. In addition to the PSIPs mentioned above, the PUC ordered certain filing requirements, including a Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan, which the Utilities filed in August 2014.
The PUC also stated it would be opening new dockets to address (1) reliability standards, (2) the technical, economic and policy issues associated with distributed energy resources (DER) and (3) the Hawaii electricity reliability administrator, which is a third-party position that the legislature has authorized the PUC to create by contract to provide support for the PUC in developing and periodically updating local grid reliability standards and procedures and interconnection requirements and overseeing grid access and operation. The PUC has not yet opened new dockets to address the first and third topics above. To


address DER, the second topic, the PUC opened an investigative proceeding on August 21, 2014 (see “DER investigative proceeding” below).
Policy statement and order regarding demand response programs. The PUC provided guidance concerning the objectives and goals for DR programs, and ordered the Utilities to develop an integrated DR Portfolio Plan that will enhance system operations and reduce costs to customers. The Utilities’ Plan was filed in July 2014. Subsequently, the Utilities submitted status updates and an update and supplemental report to the Plan. In July 2015, the PUC issued an order appointing a special adviser to guide, monitor and review the Utility’s Plan design and implementation. In December 2015, the Utilities filed an application with the PUC for approval of their proposed DR Portfolio Tariff Structure, Reporting Schedule and Cost Recovery of Program Costs. The Utilities filed an updated DR Portfolio Plan in February 2017. In May 2017, the Utilities filed their reply to the statements of position submitted by the other parties and are awaiting a PUC decision.
In October 2017, the PUC approved the Utilities request made in December 2015 to defer and recover certain computer software and software development costs for a DR Management System in an amount not to exceed $3.9 million, exclusive of AFUDC, through the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP) Surcharge. The Utilities expect the DR Management System to be in service by the end of 2018.
DER investigative proceeding. In March 2015, the PUC issued an order to address DER issues.
In June 2015, the Utilities submitted their final Statement of Position in the DER proceeding, which included new pricing provisions for future private rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, technical standards for advanced inverters, new options for customers including battery-equipped private rooftop PV systems, a pilot time-of-use rate, an improved method of calculating the amount of private rooftop PV that can be safely installed, and a streamlined and standardized PV application process.
In October 2015, the PUC issued a D&O establishing DER reforms that: (1) promote rapid adoption of the next generation of solar PV and other distributed energy technologies; (2) encourage more competitive pricing of distributed energy resource systems; (3) lower overall energy supply costs for all customers; and (4) help to manage DER in terms of each island’s limited grid capacity. The D&O capped the Utilities Net Energy Metering (NEM) programs at “existing” levels (i.e., for existing NEM customers and customers who already applied and were waiting for approval), closed the NEM programs to new participants, and approved new interim options for customers to interconnect DER to the utility electric grids, including Self Supply and Grid Supply tariff options and modified interconnection standards. The PUC placed caps on the availability of the Grid Supply program. The Self Supply Program is designed for customers who do not export to the grid.
On October 20, 2017, the PUC issued a D&O which further revises interconnection requirements, creates a Smart Export program, modifies the customer-grid supply program (Controllable Customer Grid Supply), clarifies that non-export customer systems can be added to the existing NEM program, and provides guidance and reporting requirements regarding hosting capacity analyses. The Smart Export program is designed for PV systems with battery storage and features zero compensation during mid-day, but enhanced compensation at other times of the day to reflect the value of the energy to the grid at different times of the day. The Controllable Customer Grid Supply program allows PV systems without battery storage to deliver energy to the grid on an as-available basis except when system-wide technical conditions require reduction of output. The D&O specified island-specific pricing and program caps for the Smart Export and Controllable Customer Grid Supply programs. Customers currently under the customer-grid supply program are grandfathered under existing rates for the next five years.first three months of 2021 and 2020 were 19% and 15%, respectively. The D&O also authorizes activation of new advanced inverter functions in PV and storage systems, which will provide support to the electric grid during different types of grid disturbances. The utilities must file tariffs consistent with the programs described in the D&O.
Grid modernization. After launching a smart grid customer engagement plan during the second quarter of 2014, Hawaiian Electric replaced approximately 5,200 residential and commercial meters with smart meters, 160 direct load control switches, fault circuit indicators and remote controlled switches in selected areas across Oahu as part of the Smart Grid Initial Phase implementation. Also under the Initial Phase a grid efficiency measure called Volt/Var Optimization (or Conservation Voltage Reduction) was enabled, customer energy portalseffective tax rates were launched and are available for customer use and a PrePay Application was launched. The Initial Phase implementation was completed in 2015. The smart grid provides benefits such as customer tools to manage their electric bills, potentially shortening outages and enabling the Utilities to integrate more low-cost renewable energy, like wind and solar, which will reduce Hawaii’s dependence on imported oil.
In March 2016, the Utilities sought PUC approval to commit funds for an expansion of the smart grid project. The proposed smart grid project was estimated to cost $340 million and to be implemented over 5 years. On January 4, 2017, the PUC issued an order dismissing the application without prejudice and directing the Utilities to submit a Grid Modernization Strategy.
The PUC indicated that the overall goal of the Grid Modernization Strategy is to deploy modern grid investments at an appropriate priority, sequence and pace to cost-effectively maximize flexibility, minimize the risk of redundancy and


obsolescence, deliver customer benefits and enable greater DER and renewable energy integration. On June 30, 2017, the Utilities filed an initial draft of the Grid Modernization Strategy describing how new technology will help triple private rooftop solar and make use of rapidly evolving products including storage and advanced inverters. The cost of the first segment of the modernization is estimated at about $205 million over six years. The Utilities filed their final Grid Modernization Strategy on August 29, 2017. The PUC will set forth any next steps after reviewing the final Strategy and public comments.
Community-Based Renewable Energy. On October 1, 2015, the Utilities filed a proposed CBRE program and tariff with the PUC that would allow customers who cannot, or chose not to, take advantage of private rooftop solar to receive the benefits of renewable energy to help offset their monthly electric bills and support clean energy for Hawaii. In November 2015, the PUC suspended the tariff submittal and opened an investigatory docket. In February 2017, the PUC issued a proposed CBRE Program Framework and a Proposed Model Tariff Language, which significantly increased the scope of the program. Under the proposed CBRE Program Framework, the CBRE program will utilize a phased approach. The Program Framework proposes a Phase 1 with an 80 MW capacity statewide with 73 MW allocated to the Utilities' service territories. During Tranche A of the CBRE Phase 1 Program, the Utilities' primary role is to serve as the program administrator. In Tranche B, the Utilities are allowed to develop 9 MW in the service territories, 75% of the capacity is reserved for low-to-moderate income subscribers. In March 2017, the Utilities submitted comments to the Program Framework, which identified certain concerns should the proposed CBRE Program Framework be adopted and requested a technical conference before a decision is issued. In June 2017, a technical conference with the PUC was completed with the Utilities, the Consumer Advocate and industry stakeholders. The Utilities are awaiting the PUC’s decision on the CBRE program.
Decoupling. See "Decoupling" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.
As part of decoupling, the Utilities also track their rate-making ROACEs as calculated under the earnings sharing mechanism, which includes only items considered in establishing rates. At year-end, each utility's rate-making ROACE is compared against its ROACE allowed by the PUC to determine whether earnings sharing has been triggered. Annual earnings of a utility over and above the ROACE allowed by the PUC are shared between the utility and its ratepayers on a tiered basis. Results for 2016 and 2015 did not trigger the earnings sharing mechanism for the Utilities. For 2014, the earnings sharing mechanism was triggered for Maui Electric, and Maui Electric credited $0.5 million to its customers for their portion of the earnings sharing during the period between June 2015 to May 2016. Earnings sharing credits are included in the annual decoupling filing for the following year.

*      Based on recorded operating income and average rate base, both adjusted for items not included in determining electric rates.
**    Recorded net income divided by average common equity.
***  ROACE adjusted to remove items not included by the PUC in establishing rates, such as incentive compensation.
The gap between PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs actually achieved is primarily due to: the consistent exclusion of certain expenses from rates (for example, incentive compensation and charitable contributions), the recognition of annual RAM revenues on June 1 annually rather than on January 1, the low RBA interest rate (currently a short-term debt rate rather than the actual cost of capital), O&M increases and return on capital additions since the last rate case in excess of indexed escalations, and the portion of the pension regulatory asset not earning a return due to pension contributions and pension costs in excess of the pension amount in rates.
Most recent rate proceedings.  Unless otherwise agreed or ordered, each electric utility is currently required by PUC order to initiate a rate proceeding every third year (on a staggered basis) to allow the PUC and the Consumer Advocate to regularly evaluate decoupling and to allow the utility to request electric rate increases to cover rising operating costs and the cost of plant and equipment, including the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve service reliability and integrate more renewable energy. The PUC may grant an interim increase within 10 to 11 months following the filing of an application, but there is no guarantee of such an interim increase and interim amounts collected are refundable, with interest, to the extent they exceed the amount approved in the PUC’s final D&O. The timing and amount of any final increase is determined at the discretion of the PUC. The adoption of revenue, expense, rate base and cost of capital amounts (including the ROACE and


RORB) for purposes of an interim rate increase does not commit the PUC to accept any such amounts in its final D&O.

Performance-based regulationIn the Hawaii Electric Light 2016 test year rate case and the Hawaiian Electric 2017 test year rate case, the Utilities recommended that a separate investigatory docket be opened to evaluate PBR on a broader scale that can be implemented across the Utilities, and to fully develop a comprehensive PBR Framework.  PBR refers to different ways in which regulators have modified their regulatory approach in an attempt to strengthen financial incentives for Utilities to achieve desired outcomes.  In the its April 27, 2017 order in the Decoupling Investigative proceeding, the PUC stated that it would initiate a separate investigative docket to examine a full range of Performance Incentive Mechanism and PBR options.
Depreciation docket.  In December 2016, the Utilities filed an application with the PUC for approval of changes in the depreciation and amortization rates and amortization period for contributions in aid of construction (CIAC). The proposed depreciation rates are higher than the existing depreciation rates, based on a depreciation study which reviewed the average service lives, net salvage, retirement dispersion and retirement dates of the Utilities’ assets. The application requests that the effective date of implementation of the change in depreciation and amortization rates and revised CIAC amortization period, as recommended by the 2015 Book Depreciation Study, coincide with the effective date of interim base rates (that include the increased expenses resulting from the new depreciation and amortization rates and change in CIAC amortization period) to be established in each of the Utilities’ next general rate cases or the effective date of the decoupling RBA Rate Adjustment that incorporates the new depreciation and amortization rates for each utility, whichever is sooner.
Developments in renewable energy effortsDevelopments in the Utilities’ efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:
New renewable PPAs.
In July 2015, the PUC approved the PPA for the 27.6 MW Waianae Solar project that was developed by Eurus Energy America. The project achieved commercial operations in January 2017 and is now the largest solar project in Hawaii.
In July 2015, Maui Electric signed two PPAs, with Kuia Solar and South Maui Renewable Resources (which subsequently assigned its PPA to SSA Solar of HI 2, LLC and SSA Solar of HI 3, LLC, respectively), each for a 2.87-MW solar facility. In February 2016, the PUC approved both PPAs, subject to certain conditions and modifications. The guaranteed commercial operations date for the facilities was December 31, 2016, however both projects are experiencing delays and are now expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter in 2017.   
In December 2014, the PUC approved a PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy dated October 3, 2013 between Hawaiian Electric and Na Pua Makani Power Partners, LLC (NPM) for a proposed 24-MW wind farm on Oahu. In September 2016, Hawaiian Electric filed an Amended and Restated PPA, dated August 12, 2016, which reflects the completion of an interconnection requirements study. In October 2017, the PUC approved the construction of an


overhead 46 kV sub-transmission line to accommodate the interconnection of the NPM wind farm, which is expected to be placed into service by August 31, 2019.
Hawaiian Electric had PPAs to purchase solar energy with three affiliates of SunEdison. In February 2016, as a result of the project entities missing contract milestones, Hawaiian Electric terminated the original PPAs for the three projects. SunEdison filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and during those proceedings,months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three SunEdison affiliates were acquired by an affiliatesame period in 2020 due primarily to higher excess tax benefits related to vesting of NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG). Hawaiian Electric then negotiated with NRG and its newly acquired affiliates and has entered into amended and restated PPAs for solar energy on Oahu with Waipio PV, LLC for 45.9 MW, Lanikuhana Solar, LLC for 14.7 MW and Kawailoa Solar, LLC for 49.0 MW. On July 27, 2017, the PUC approved the three NRG PPAs, subject to modifications andshare-based awards in 2020.
Economic conditions.
Note: The three projects are expectedstatistical data in this section is from public third-party sources that management believes to be in service by the endreliable (e.g., Department of 2019.
Tariffed renewable resources.
AsBusiness, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), University of September 30, 2017, there were approximately 330 MW, 77 MW and 88 MWHawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), Department of installed distributed renewable energy technologies (mainly PV) at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, for tariff-based private customer generation programs, namely NEM, Customer Grid Supply and Customer Self Supply. As of September 30, 2017, an estimated 27% of single family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, and Maui have installed private rooftop solar systems, and an estimated 29% of single family homes have installed, or have been approved to install, private rooftop solar systems. As of September 30, 2017, approximately 16% of the Utilities' total customers have solar systems.   
The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of September 30, 2017, there were 30 MW, 3 MW and 5 MW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
Biofuel sources.
In September 2015, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s 2-year biodiesel supply contract with Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC (PBT) to supply 2 million to 3 million gallons of biodiesel at Campbell Industrial Park combustion turbine No. 1 (CIP CT-1) and the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility beginning in November 2015. The PBT contract is set to expire on November 2, 2018. PBT also has a spot buy contract with Hawaiian Electric to purchase additional quantities of biodiesel at or below the price of diesel. Some purchases of “at parity” biodiesel have been made under the spot purchase contract, which was recently extended through June 2018. REG Marketing & Logistics Group, LLC has a contingency supply contract with Hawaiian Electric to also supply biodiesel to CIP CT-1 in the event PBT is not able to supply necessary quantities. This contingency contract has been extended to November 2018, and will continue with no volume purchase requirements.
On April 28, 2017 Hawaiian Electric issued a Biofuel Supply Request for Proposal for 3.1 million gallons of biofuel per year for three years, to commence as early as November 2018 to be used as fuel for power generation at Hawaiian Electric’s Schofield Generating Station, the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility and any other generating unit on Oahu, as necessary. Hawaiian Electric is in negotiations with a bidder.
Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information.
In response to requests filed by the utilities, on October 6, 2017, the PUC opened a docket to receive filings, review approval requests, and resolve disputes, if necessary, related to the Utilities' plan to proceed with a competitive bidding process of dispatchable firm renewable generation on the island of Maui and variable renewable generation on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. The PUC also indicated that it will appoint an independent observer to monitor the competitive bidding process. On October 23, 2017, the Utilities filed draft requests for proposals for 220 megawatts (MW) of renewable generation on Oahu, 50 MW of renewable generation on Hawaii Island, and 100 MW of renewable generation on Maui, including 40 MW of firm renewable generation (all resources to be in service by the end of 2022). With this filing, the Utilities also filed proposed model power purchase agreements and timelines for each proposed procurement. Maui Electric proposed to suspend its request to issue variable renewable dispatchable generation RFPs for Molokai and Lanai as Maui Electric is already in discussions on such islands regarding renewable generation.
On January 5, 2017, Hawaiian Electric issued an Onshore Wind Expression of Interest requesting expressions of interest from independent power producers that are capable of developing utility scale onshore wind projects that are eligible to capture the federal Investment Tax Credit for Large Wind on the island of Oahu. Responses have been accepted and Hawaiian Electric is in non-binding confidential discussions regarding such responses.
On December 12, 2016, the Utilities issued a request for information asking interested landowners to provide information about properties available for utility-scale renewable energy projects or for growing biofuel feedstock on


the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai and Lanai. Responses have been made available to developers interested in developing renewable energy projects in these five islands.
Adequacy of supply.
Hawaiian Electric. In January 2017, Hawaiian Electric filed its 2017 Adequacy of Supply (AOS) letter, which indicated that based on its October 2016 sales and peak forecast for the 2017 - 2021 time period, Hawaiian Electric's generation capacity will be sufficient to meet reasonably expected demands for service and provide reasonable reserves for emergencies through 2018, but may have shortfalls in meeting the Utilities’ generating system reliability guideline. The calculated reliability guideline shortfalls are relatively small and Hawaiian Electric can implement mitigation measures.
In accordance to its planning criteria, Hawaiian Electric deactivated two fossil fuel generating units from active service at its Honolulu Power Plant in January 2014 and anticipates deactivating two additional fossil fuel units at its Waiau Power Plant in the 2022 timeframe. Hawaiian Electric acquired new firm capacity with the commissioningHealth of the State of Hawaii , U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Transportation’s emergency power facility in June 2017. Hawaiian Electric is proceeding withLabor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), Honolulu Board of REALTORS® and national and local news media).
The CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The economic relief package totals more than $2 trillion and provides direct economic support to businesses and individuals. On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the $900 billion economic stimulus package that provides, among others, direct payments to qualifying individuals, extended unemployment benefits, and additional small business aid. On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The plan will send direct payments of up to $1,400 to most Americans. The bill will also extend a future firm capacity addition with$300 per week unemployment insurance boost until September 6 and expand the U.S. Department of the Armychild tax credit for a year. It will also put nearly $20 billion into COVID-19 vaccinations, $25 billion into rental and utility ownedassistance, and operated renewable, dispatchable, including black start capabilities, generation security project on federal lands, which is expected to be in service in the second quarter of 2018. Hawaiian Electric is continuing negotiations with firm capacity IPPs on Oahu. On August 31, 2017, Hawaiian Electric$350 billion into state, local and Kalaeloa entered into an agreement that neither party will give written notice of termination of the Kalaeloa PPA prior to October 31, 2018. The PPA with AEStribal relief. Hawaii is scheduled to expire in 2022. 
Hawaii Electric Light. In January 2017, Hawaii Electric Light filed its 2017 AOS letter, which indicated that Hawaii Electric Light’s generation capacity through 2019 is sufficient to meet reasonably expected demands for service and provide for reasonable reserves for emergencies. Additional generation from other renewable resources could be added in the 2018-2025 timeframe.
Maui Electric. In January 2017, Maui Electric filed its 2017 AOS letter, which indicated that Maui Electric’s generation capacity for the islands of Lanai and Molokai for the next three years is sufficiently large to meet all reasonably expected demands for service and provide reasonable reserves for emergencies. The 2017 AOS letter also indicated that without the peak reduction benefits of demand response but with the equivalent firm capacity value of wind generation, Maui Electric expects to have a small reserve capacity shortfall from 2017 to 2022 on the island of Maui. Maui Electric is evaluating several measures to mitigate the anticipated reserve capacity shortfall.  Maui Electric anticipates needinghas received a significant amount of additional firm capacityfunds through these various federal assistance programs that will help attenuate the impact to Hawaii’s economy.
In September 2020, the City and County of Honolulu announced a framework for reducing the spread of COVID-19 on MauiOahu, which tracks metrics that dictate the extent of restrictions on businesses and activities. There are four tiers with Tier 1 being the most restrictive. The minimum amount of time spent in each tier is four weeks. In order to move to the next higher tier, the last two weeks of a tier must meet the higher tier’s criteria. If a lower tier’s average daily case count is realized for two weeks in a row, the county will move back to the lower tier for a minimum of four weeks. On February 25, 2021, the county of Honolulu moved from Tier 2 to Tier 3, which allows greater density for business and other social activities. Since that time,
52


case counts have increased modestly such that the 7-day average new case counts have fallen between 50-100, which is consistent with the Tier 2 level, but the governor and mayor agreed to remain in Tier 3 for the next four weeks as vaccinations are more widely administered. As of April 27, 2021, approximately 37% of the state’s population have been fully vaccinated.
See “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the 2022 timeframe after the planned retirement“Electric utility” and “Bank” sections below for further discussion of the Kahului Power Plant.economic impact caused by the pandemic.
In February 2014, Maui Electric deactivated two fossil fuel generating units,Hawaii’s tourism industry, a significant driver of Hawaii’s economy, suffered dramatically with a combined rating73.8% reduction in total visitor arrivals in 2020 compared with 2019. Starting October 15, 2020, the state launched its Safe Travels Program that allows travelers to avoid the mandatory 14-day quarantine if they test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of 11.4 MW-net, at its Kahului Power Plant. Due to various system conditions including lackdeparture. Since the launch of wind generation, approaching stormsthe program, the average daily passenger arrivals have gradually improved, but remain below pre-pandemic levels. For the first quarter of 2021, passenger counts were 56.2% lower than the comparable period in the prior year, which included pre-pandemic travel activity, and scheduledaveraged 11,018 passengers per day. However, with the ongoing vaccination efforts across the nation and unscheduled outagesthe implementation of generating units, transmission linesthe Safe Travels Program, average daily passenger counts have steadily increased throughout the quarter, with March counts 117% above January counts and independent power producers, the two deactivated units at Kahului Power Plant were reactivated for several days in 2015 and 2016. a new 2021 year-to-date high of 22,913 daily visitor arrivals was achieved on April 3, 2021.
Due to the frequencyeffects of reactivationsthe measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawaii’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in March 2021 was 9.0%, which was substantially higher compared to the March 2020 rate of Kahului Units 12.1%. The national unemployment rate in March 2021 was 6.0% compared to 4.4% in March 2020. Hawaii’s unemployment rate is expected to gradually improve now that restrictions on travel have been reduced significantly and 2vaccine distribution has progressed.

Hawaii’s petroleum product prices reflect supply and demand in the time neededAsia-Pacific region and the price of crude oil in international markets. The price of crude oil gradually increased during the 4th quarter of last year and the trend has continued during the first two months of this year.
At its March 17, 2021 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to acquire replacement firm generating capacity, Maui Electric now anticipatesmaintain the retirementfederal funds rate target range of all generating units0%-0.25%. The FOMC plans to continue to maintain an accommodative stance of monetary policy to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the Kahului Power Plant,rate of 2 percent over the long run. The Federal Reserve stated that it will increase its holdings of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities at least at the current pace to sustain smooth market functioning and help foster accommodative financial conditions, thereby supporting the flow of credit to households and businesses.
The most recent interim forecast by UHERO, which was issued on March 5, 2021, forecasts full year 2021 real GDP growth of 3.7%, increase in total visitor arrivals of 81.8%, decrease in real personal income of -1.1%, and an unemployment rate of 7.1%. This forecast reflects an acceleration of the pace of the recovery of the Hawaii economy as compared to the prior forecast, but a full recovery is still several years out.

The Company expects that if economic conditions worsen from current levels or remain depressed for an extended period of time, it could have a combined rating of 32.3 MW, in the 2022 timeframe. A capacity planning analysis is in progress to better define generating needs and timing. Maui Electric plans to issue one or more RFPs for energy storage, demand response and firm generating capacity, and to make system improvements needed to ensure reliability and voltage support in this timeframe. In May 2016, Maui Electric requested that the PUC open a new docket for Maui Electric’s competitive bidding process for additional firm capacity resources. In September 2016, Maui Electric submitted an application to purchase and install three temporary mobile distributed generation diesel engines to address increasing reserve capacity shortfallsmaterial unfavorable impact on the island of Maui; MauiCompany’s net revenues or income from continuing operations in 2021.

The “other” business segment loss includes results of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Also,stand-alone corporate operations of HEI (including eliminations of intercompany transactions) and ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), as well as the results of Pacific Current, a direct subsidiary of HEI focused on investing in recent years, legislative, regulatoryclean energy and governmental activities related to the environment, including proposals and rulemaking under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act (CWA), have increased significantly.
Clean Water Act Section 316(b). On August 14, 2014, the EPA published in the Federal Register the final regulations required by section 316(b) of the CWA designed to protect aquatic organisms from adverse impacts associated with existingsustainable infrastructure projects; Pacific Current’s indirect subsidiary, Hamakua Energy, which owns a 60-MW combined cycle power plant cooling water intake structures. The regulations were effective October 14, 2014 and applythat provides electricity to the cooling water systems for the steam generating units at three of Hawaiian Electric’s power plantsHawaii Electric Light; Pacific Current’s subsidiaries, Mauo, LLC (Mauo), which owns solar-plus-storage projects totaling 8.6 MW on the island of Oahu. The regulations prescribe a process, including a number of required site-specific studies, for states to develop facility-specific entrainment and impingement controls to be incorporated in each facility’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. Hawaiian


Electric submitted the final site specific studies to the DOH in December 2016 for the Honolulu and Waiau power plants and in September 2017 for the Kahe power plant. Hawaiian Electric will work with the DOH to identify the appropriate compliance methods for the 316(b) rule.
Mercury Air Toxics Standards. On February 16, 2012, the EPA published the final rule establishing the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for fossil-fuel fired steam electrical generating units (EGUs) in the Federal Register. The final rule, known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), applies to the 14 EGUs at Hawaiian Electric’s power plants. MATS established the Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants emissions from new and existing EGUs. Hawaiian Electric initially selected a MATS compliance strategy based on switching to lower emission fuels, but has since continued developing and refining its emission control strategy. Hawaiian Electric’s liquid oil-fired steam generating units that are subject to the MATS limits are able to comply with the new standards without a significant fuel switch in combination with a suite of operational changes.
Hawaiian Electric has proceeded with the implementation of its MATS Compliance Plan and has met all compliance requirements to date.
PUC Commissioner.  The Governor’s appointment of James Griffin as PUC Commissioner was confirmed by the State Senate on August 31, 2017. Mr. Griffin was a researcher and a faculty member at the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute at thefive University of Hawaii at Manoa. He also previously servedcampuses; and Ka‘ie‘ie Waho Company, LLC, which owns a 6 MW solar photovoltaic system that provides renewable energy to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative; as Chiefwell as eliminations of Policy and Research at the PUC.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources.  Management believes that Hawaiian Electric’s ability, and that of its subsidiaries, to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities and commercial paper and draws on lines of credit, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their respective capital expenditures and investments and to cover debt, retirement benefits and other cash requirements in the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, 2017, Hawaiian Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric of $6.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively. As of October 27, 2017, Hawaiian Electric had $2 million of outstanding commercial paper, no draws under its line of credit facility and no borrowings from HEI. Also, as of October 27, 2017, Hawaiian Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric of $13.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively, which intercompany borrowings are eliminated in consolidation.
Hawaiian Electric has a $200 million line of credit facility. See Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


In May 2015, up to $80 million of SPRBs ($70 million for Hawaiian Electric, $2.5 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $7.5 million for Maui Electric) were authorized by the Hawaii legislature for issuance, with PUC approval, prior to June 30, 2020 to finance the Utilities’ capital improvement programs.
On January 26, 2017, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric obtained PUC approval to issue, on or before December 31, 2017, unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest (Hawaiian Electric up to $100 million, Hawaii Electric Light up to $10 million and Maui Electric up to $30 million), with the proceeds expected to be used, as applicable, to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures.
In March 2017 and amended in April 2017, the Utilities requested PUC approval to issue and sell each utility’s common stock through December 31, 2021 (Hawaiian Electric’s sale/s to HEI of up to $150 million and Hawaii Electric Light’s and Maui Electric’s sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $10 million each) and the purchase of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric common stock by Hawaiian Electric through December 31, 2021. On October 31, 2017, the PUC issued a D&O approving the issue and sale of each utility’s common stock as requested in the application.
In September 2017, the Utilities requested PUC approval to issue, over a four-year period from 2018 to December 31, 2021, unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest (Hawaiian Electric up to $280 million, Hawaii Electric Light up to $30 million and Maui Electric up to $10 million), with the proceeds expected to be used, as applicable, to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures.
Cash flows. The following table reflects the changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
 Nine months ended September 30,  
(in thousands)2017 2016 Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$229,902
 $275,271
 $(45,369)
Net cash used in investing activities(229,287) (226,036) (3,251)
Net cash used in financing activities(64,914) (50,707) (14,207)
Net cash provided by operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities generally relate to the amount and timing of cash received from customers and payments made to third parties. Using the indirect method of determining cash flows from operating activities, noncash expense items such as depreciation and amortization, as well as changes in certain assets and liabilities, are added to (or deducted from) net income.
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:
Lower cash from an increase in accounts receivable due to timing and an increase in fuel prices.
Lower cash from a decrease in accounts payable due to timing on payments of invoices related to fuel and capital projects.
Lower cash from an increase in unbilled revenues due to higher fuel prices.
Lower cash due to refund of federal income taxes in 2016 based on bonus depreciation enacted in the fourth quarter of 2015 (similar treatment was not granted in the fourth quarter of 2016).
Net cash used in investing activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was driven primarily by an increase in capital expenditures related to construction activities, offset by higher contributions in aid of construction and capital good tax credits.
Net cash used in financing activities. Financing activities provide supplemental cash for both day-to-day operations and capital requirements as needed. The increase in net cash used in financing activities primarily reflects lower short-term borrowings.
2017 forecast capital expenditures. For 2017, the Utilities forecast $400 million of net capital expenditures, which could change over time based upon external factors such as the timing and scope of environmental regulations, unforeseen delays in permitting and timing of PUC decisions. Proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt, cash flows from operating activities, temporary increases in short-term borrowings and existing cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide the funds needed for the net capital expenditures in 2017, to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings, as well as to fund any unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2017 forecast (such as increases in the costs or acceleration of capital projects or unanticipated capital expenditures that may be required by new environmental laws and regulations).


Bank
  Three months ended September 30 Increase  
(in millions) 2017 2016 (decrease) Primary reason(s)
Interest income $59
 $55
 $4
 The increase in interest income was the result of a higher average investment securities portfolio balance and an increase in yields on earning assets. ASB’s average loan portfolio balance for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $68 million compared to the same period in 2016 as increases in average consumer and home equity lines of credit balances of $54 million and $31 million, respectively, were more than offset by a decrease in commercial loan balances of $132 million. The decrease in the average commercial loan balance was primarily due to a decrease in the syndicated national credit loan portfolio and paydowns in the commercial loan portfolio. The yield on earning assets increased by 8 basis points due to the repricing of the adjustable rate loans with the increase in the interest rate environment and a shift in the mix of the loan portfolio with the growth in the consumer loan portfolio, which resulted in an increase in the loan portfolio yield of 20 basis points. The average investment securities portfolio balance increased by $378 million due to the use of excess liquidity to purchase investments. The yield on the investment securities portfolio increased by 8 basis points as new investment purchase yields were higher due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
Noninterest income 15
 19
 (4) Noninterest income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to lower mortgage banking income. Prior year’s noninterest income included a gain on sale of real estate with no similar sale in 2017.

 Interest expense was flat for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 as higher interest expense from the growth in term certificates was offset by lower interest expense on other borrowings as a result of lower repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. Average deposit balances for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $392 million compared to the same period in 2016 due to an increase in core deposits and term certificates of $303 million and $89 million, respectively. Other borrowings decreased by $105 million primarily due to a decrease in repurchase agreements and FHLB advances of $72 million and $33 million, respectively. The interest-bearing liability rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by 5 basis points compared to the same period in 2016.
Provision for loan losses 1
 6
 (5) The provision for loan losses decreased by $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The provision for loan losses for 2017 was primarily due to increased loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio partly offset by the release of reserves for the commercial real estate and syndicated national credit loan portfolios due to loan paydowns and sales as the Bank strategically worked to improve commercial asset quality. The provision for loan losses for 2016 was primarily due to increased reserves for growth in the loan portfolio, additional loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio and loan loss reserves for commercial loans due to downgrades of specific commercial credits. Delinquency rates have increased from 0.51% at September 30, 2016 to 0.60% at September 30, 2017. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 0.32% compared to an annualized net charge-off ratio of 0.20% for the same period in 2016. The increase in net charge-offs were due to an increase in consumer loan portfolio charge-offs as a result of ASB’s strategic expansion of its unsecured consumer loan product offering with risk-based pricing.
Noninterest expense 44

 The increase in interest income was the result of higher average earning asset balances and an increase in yields on earning assets. ASB’s average loan portfolio balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $17 million compared to the same period in 2016 as average consumer, commercial real estate and home equity lines of credit balances increased by $58 million, $48 million and $23 million, respectively. The growth in these loan portfolios was reflective of ASB’s portfolio mix target and loan growth strategy. The average commercial loan balance decreased by $103 million primarily due to a decrease in the syndicated national credit loan portfolio. The yield on earning assets increased by 7 basis points due to a shift in the mix of the loan portfolio with the growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios and repricing of the adjustable rate loans with the increase in the interest rate environment, which resulted in an increase in loan portfolio yields of 17 basis points. The average investment securities portfolio balance increased by $358 million due to the use of excess liquidity to purchase investments. The yield on the investment securities portfolio increased by 9 basis points as new investment purchase yields were higher due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
Noninterest income 47
 50
 (3) Noninterest income decreased slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to lower mortgage banking income.

Average deposit balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $471 million compared to the same period in 2016 due to an increase in core deposits and term certificates of $334 million and $137 million, respectively. Other borrowings decreased by $102 million primarily due to a decrease in repurchase agreements.

 15
 (8) The provision for loan losses decreased by $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to increased loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio partly offset by the release of reserves for the commercial real estate and syndicated national credit loan portfolios due to lower outstanding balances and improved credit quality. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to increased reserves for growth in the loan portfolio, additional loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio and loan loss reserves for commercial loans due to downgrades of specific commercial credits. Delinquency rates have increased from 0.51% at September 30, 2016 to 0.60% at September 30, 2017. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 0.27% compared to an annualized net charge-off ratio of 0.19% for the same period in 2016. The increase in net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2017 was due to an increase in consumer loan portfolio charge-offs as a result of ASB’s strategic expansion of its unsecured consumer loan product offering with risk-based pricing.

Defined as net interest income as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets.
Earning assets, costing liabilities and other factors.  Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The interest rate environment has been impacted by disruptions in the financial markets over a period of several years. These conditions have begun to moderate with the interest rate increases in the past year which resulted in an increase in ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin.
Loan originations and mortgage-related securities are ASB’s primary earning assets.


Loan portfolio.  ASB’s loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and management’s responses to these factors. The composition of ASB’s loans receivable was as follows:

Home equity— key credit statistics. Attention has been given by regulators and rating agencies to the potential for increased exposure to credit losses associated with home equity lines of credit (HELOC) that were originated during the period of rapid home price appreciation between 2003 and 2007 as they have reached, or are starting to reach, the end of their 10-year, interest only payment periods. Once the interest only payment period has ended, payments are reset to include principal repayments along with interest. ASB does not have a large exposure to HELOCs originated between 2003 and 2007. Nearly all of the HELOC originations prior to 2008 consisted of amortizing equity lines that have structured principal payments during the draw period. These older equity lines represent 1% of the portfolio and are included in the amortizing balances identified in the loan portfolio table below.

The HELOC portfolio comprised 19% of the total loan portfolio and is generally an interest-only revolving loan for a 10-year period, after which time the HELOC outstanding balance converts to a fully amortizing variable rate term loan with a 20-year amortization period. This product type comprises 79% of the total HELOC portfolio and is the current product offering. Borrowers also have a “Fixed Rate Loan Option” to convert a part of their available line of credit into a 5, 7 or 10-year fully amortizing fixed rate loan with level principal and interest payments. As of September 30, 2017, approximately 20% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the Fixed Rate Loan Option.

Principal and interest on mortgage-related securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) are guaranteed by the issuer and, in the case of GNMA, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
Deposits and other borrowings.  Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and management’s responses to these factors. Deposit retention and growth will remain challenging in the current environment due to competition for deposits and the low level of short-term interest rates. Advances from the FHLB of Des Moines and securities sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be additional sources of funds. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 97% deposits and 3% other borrowings. The weighted average cost of deposits for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 was 0.16% and 0.13%, respectively.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, ASB had $50 million and $100 million of advances outstanding at the FHLB of Des Moines. The decrease in advances outstanding was due to the payoff of a maturing FHLB advance. As of September 30, 2017, the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines was $1.9 billion. The FHLB of Des Moines continues to be an important source of liquidity for ASB.
Other factors.  Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations and also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASB’s investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in the fair value of the investment securities, respectively. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of the investment securities.
As of September 30, 2017, ASB had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI of $5.5 million compared to an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $7.9 million at December 31, 2016. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk” for a discussion of ASB’s interest rate risk sensitivity.
During the first nine months of 2017, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $7.2 million primarily due to increased loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio partly offset by the release of reserves for the commercial real estate and syndicated national credit loan portfolios due to lower outstanding balances and improved credit quality. During the first nine months of 2016, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $15.3 million primarily due to increased loss reserves for growth in the loan portfolio, additional loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio and loan loss reserves for commercial loans due to downgrades of specific commercial credits. Financial stress on ASB’s customers may result in higher levels of delinquencies and losses.

We maintain a reserve for credit losses that consists of two components, the allowance for loan losses and a reserve for unfunded loan commitments (unfunded reserve). The level of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted by recording an expense or recovery in other noninterest expense. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.7 million.
Legislation and regulation.  ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the OCC and the FDIC. Depending on ASB’s level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the discussion below under “Liquidity and capital resources.”


Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).  Regulation of the financial services industry, including regulation of HEI, ASB Hawaii and ASB, has changed and will continue to change as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in July 2010. Importantly for HEI, ASB Hawaii and ASB, under the Dodd-Frank Act all of the functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision transferred on July 21, 2011 to the OCC, the FDIC, the FRB and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau). Supervision and regulation of HEI and ASB Hawaii, as thrift holding companies, moved to the FRB, and supervision and regulation of ASB, as a federally chartered savings bank, moved to the OCC. While the laws and regulations applicable to HEI and ASB did not generally change, the applicable laws and regulations are being interpreted, and new and amended regulations may be adopted, by the FRB, the OCC and the Bureau. In addition, HEI will continue to be required to serve as a source of strength to ASB in the event of its financial distress. The Dodd-Frank Act also imposed new restrictions on the ability of a savings bank to pay dividends should it fail to remain a qualified thrift lender.
More stringent affiliate transaction rules now apply to ASB in the securities lending, repurchase agreement and derivatives areas. Standards were raised with respect to the ability of ASB to merge with or acquire another institution. In reviewing a potential merger or acquisition, the approving federal agency will need to consider the extent to which the proposed transaction will result in “greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system.”
The Dodd-Frank Act established the Bureau. It has authority to prohibit practices it finds to be unfair, deceptive or abusive, and it may also issue rules requiring specified disclosures and the use of new model forms. On January 10, 2013, the Bureau issued the Ability-to-Repay rule which closed for comment on February 25, 2013. For mortgages, among other things, (i) potential borrowers have to supply financial information, and lenders must verify it, (ii) to qualify for a particular loan, a consumer has to have sufficient assets or income to pay back the loan and (iii) lenders have to determine the consumer’s ability to repay both the principal and the interest over the long term - not just during an introductory period when the rate may be lower.
ASB may also be subject to new state regulation because of a provision in the Dodd-Frank Act that acknowledges that a federal savings bank may be subject to state regulation and allows federal law to preempt a state consumer financial law on a “case by case” basis only when (1) the state law would have a discriminatory effect on the bank compared to that on a bank chartered in that state, (2) the state law prevents or significantly interferes with a bank’s exercise of its power or (3) the state law is preempted by another federal law.
The Dodd-Frank Act also adopts a number of provisions that impact the mortgage industry, including the imposition of new specific duties on the part of mortgage originators (such as ASB) to act in the best interests of consumers and to take steps to ensure that consumers will have the capability to repay loans they may obtain, as well as provisions imposing new disclosure requirements and requiring appraisal reforms.
Also, the Dodd-Frank Act directs the Bureau to publish rules and forms that combine certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with applying for and closing on a mortgage loan under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Consistent with this requirement, the Bureau amended Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to establish new disclosure requirements and forms in Regulation Z for most closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by real property. In addition to combining the existing disclosure requirements and implementing new requirements, the final rule provides extensive guidance regarding compliance with those requirements. This rule was effective October 3, 2015.
The “Durbin Amendment” to the Dodd-Frank Act required the FRB to issue rules to ensure that debit card interchange fees are “reasonable and proportional” to the processing costs incurred. In June 2011, the FRB issued a final rule establishing standards for debit card interchange fees and prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements and routing restrictions. Under the final rule, effective October 1, 2011, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction is 21-24 cents, depending on certain components. Financial institutions and their affiliates that have less than $10 billion in assets are exempt from this Amendment; however, on July 1, 2013, ASB became non-exempt as the consolidated assets of HEI exceeded $10 billion. The debit card interchange fees received by ASB have been lower as a result of the application of this Amendment.
Final Capital Rules.  On July 2, 2013, the FRB finalized its rule implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The final rule would apply to banking organizations of all sizes and types regulated by the FRB and the OCC, except bank holding companies subject to the FRB’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and Savings & Loan Holding Companies (SLHCs) substantially engaged in insurance underwriting or commercial activities. HEI currently meets the requirements of the exemption as a top-tier grandfathered unitary SLHC that derived, as of June 30 of the previous calendar year, either 50% or more of its total consolidated assets or 50% or more of its total revenues on an enterprise-wide basis (calculated under GAAP) from activities that are not financial in nature pursuant to Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act. The FRB is temporarily excluding these SLHCs from the final rule while it considers a proposal relating to capital and other requirements for SLHC intermediate holding companies (such as ASB Hawaii). The FRB indicated that it would release a proposal on intermediate holding companies that would specify the criteria for establishing and transferring activities to intermediate holding


companies and propose to apply the FRB’s capital requirements to such intermediate holding companies. The FRB has not yet issued such a proposal, or a proposal on how to apply the Basel III capital rules to SLHCs that are substantially engaged in commercial or insurance underwriting activities, such as grandfathered unitary SLHCs like HEI.
Pursuant to the final rule and consistent with the proposals, all banking organizations, including covered holding companies, would initially be subject to the following minimum regulatory capital requirements: a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%, a total capital ratio of 8% of risk-weighted assets and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%, and these requirements would increase in subsequent years. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, the final rule requires a banking organization to hold a buffer of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets (capital conservation buffer). In addition, a countercyclical capital buffer would expand the capital conservation buffer by up to 2.5% of a banking organization’s total risk-weighted assets for advanced approaches banking organizations. The final rule would establish qualification criteria for common equity, additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments that help to ensure their ability to absorb losses. All banking organizations would be required to calculate risk-weighted assets under the standardized approach, which harmonizes the banking agencies’ calculation of risk-weighted assets and address shortcomings in capital requirements identified by the agencies. The phased-in effective dates of the capital requirements under the final rule are:
Minimum Capital Requirements
Effective dates 1/1/2015 1/1/2016 1/1/2017 1/1/2018 1/1/2019
Capital conservation buffer  
 0.625% 1.25% 1.875% 2.50%
Common equity Tier-1 ratio + conservation buffer 4.50% 5.125% 5.75% 6.375% 7.00%
Tier-1 capital ratio + conservation buffer 6.00% 6.625% 7.25% 7.875% 8.50%
Total capital ratio + conservation buffer 8.00% 8.625% 9.25% 9.875% 10.50%
Tier-1 leverage ratio 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% 4.00%
Countercyclical capital buffer — not applicable to ASB  
 0.625% 1.25% 1.875% 2.50%
The final rule was effective January 1, 2015 for ASB. As of September 30, 2017, ASB met the new capital requirements with a Common equity Tier-1 ratio of 12.7%, a Tier-1 capital ratio of 12.7%, a Total capital ratio of 13.9% and a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.7%.
Subject to the timing and final outcome of the FRB’s SLHC intermediate holding company proposal, HEI anticipates that the capital requirements in the final rule will eventually be effective for HEI or ASB Hawaii as well. If the fully phased-in capital requirements were currently applicable to HEI, management believes HEI would satisfy the capital requirements, including the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer. Management cannot predict what final rule the FRB may adopt concerning intermediate holding companies or their impact on ASB Hawaii, if any.
Military Lending Act. The Department of Defense (DOD) amended its regulation that implements the Military Lending Act (MLA), which became effective on October 3, 2016. The DOD amended its regulation primarily for the purpose of extending the protections of the MLA to a broader range of closed-end and open-end credit products. It initially applied to three narrowly-defined “consumer credit” products: closed-end payday loans; closed-end auto title loans; and closed-end tax refund anticipation loans. The DOD revised the scope of the definition of ‘‘consumer credit’’ to be generally consistent with the credit products that have been subject to the requirements of the Regulation Z, namely: credit offered or extended to a covered borrower primarily for personal, family or household purposes and that is (i) subject to a finance charge or (ii) payable by a written agreement in more than four installments.
Additionally, the DOD elected to exercise its discretion by generally requiring any fees for credit insurance products or for credit-related ancillary products to be included in the Military Annual Percentage Rate. The DOD also modified the disclosures that a creditor must provide to a covered borrower and implemented the enforcement provisions of the MLA. ASB has modified certain products, practices and associated training to conform to these changes.
Overtime Rules. The Secretary of Labor updated the overtime regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Act to simplify and modernize them. The Department of Labor issued final rules that will raise the salary threshold indicating eligibility from $455/week to $913/week ($47,476 per year), and update automatically the salary threshold every three years, based on wage growth over time, increasing predictability. The final rule was to become effective on December 1, 2016. In late-November 2016 however, the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas granted a nationwide preliminary injunction that blocked the final rule, saying the Department of Labor's rule exceeds the authority the agency was delegated by Congress. Despite this block, ASB modified its salaries in the fourth quarter of 2016 such that it is in voluntary compliance with the final rule. On July 26, 2017, the Department of Labor published a Request for Information Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer Employees. On August 31, 2017, U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas


granted summary judgment against the Department of Labor in consolidated cases challenging the final rule published on May 23, 2016. The court held that the final rule’s salary level exceeded the Department of Labor’s authority and concluded that the final rule was invalid.
Arbitration Agreements. Pursuant to section 1028(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, on July 19, 2017, the Bureau issued a final rule to regulate arbitration agreements in contracts for specified consumer financial product and services. First, the final rule prohibits covered providers of certain consumer financial products and services from using an agreement with a consumer that provides for arbitration of any future dispute between the parties to bar the consumer from filing or participating in a class action concerning the covered consumer financial product or service. Second, the final rule requires covered providers that are involved in arbitration pursuant to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement to submit specified arbitral records to the Bureau and also to submit specified court records. The compliance date for this regulation is March 19, 2018. Under the Congressional Review Act, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to overturn the final rule on July 25, 2017, and the U.S. Senate did the same on October 24, 2017. On November 1, 2017, the President signed the repeal of the final rule. ASB is currently evaluating the impact of these events on its affected agreements.

As of March 31, 2021, there was no balance on HEI’s revolving credit facility or Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facilities and the available committed capacity under the facilities was $150 million and $275 million, respectively. On April 19, 2021, Hawaiian Electric’s $75 million 364-day revolving credit agreement terminated and was not renewed. At the end of the quarter, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had approximately $100 million and nil of commercial paper outstanding, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.0 billion and ASB had unpledged investment securities of $2.0 billion.
The Company expects that its liquidity will continue to be moderately impacted at the Utilities due to COVID-19. For the Utilities, the high level of unemployment in the state and the moratorium on customer disconnections (which moratorium is currently in place through May 31, 2021) are expected to result in higher accounts receivable balances, bad debt expense and write-offs. Additionally, lower kWh sales generally result in delayed timing of cash flows, resulting in higher working capital requirements (see “Recent DevelopmentsCOVID-19” in the Electric utility section below). At ASB, liquidity remains at satisfactory levels largely due to U.S. economic stimulus programs implemented as a result of COVID-19 that led to a substantial increase in customer deposits. ASB’s cash and cash equivalents was $224 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $293 million as of December 31, 2020. ASB remains well above the “well capitalized” level, and while the economic outlook has improved, there continues to be uncertainty regarding COVID-19’s impact on loan performance and the allowance for credit losses (see “Recent Developments — COVID-19” in the Bank section below).
On January 14, 2021, the Utilities received $115 million of proceeds using a delayed draw feature under a private placement executed on October 29, 2020 and used the funds to finance capital expenditures and reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures.
On January 28, 2021, HEI received $46 million of proceeds using a delayed draw feature under a private placement executed on November 17, 2020. The proceeds were used to repay the remaining balance of $15 million on HEI’s $65 million 364-day term loan, with the remainder used to pay down commercial paper balances and prefund maturing debt. The second tranche of $29 million was drawn on April 16, 2021 and was used to pay down HEI’s commercial paper balances.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount of available borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the Company’s committed lines of credit was approximately $325 million and $360 million, respectively.
The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, as well as bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, and the Company cannot predict the extent or duration of the outbreak, the future effects that it will have on the global, national or local economy, including the impact on the Company’s cost of capital and its ability to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part II for further discussion of risks and uncertainties.
The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings) was as follows:

Note:This table does not include Hawaiian Electric’s separate commercial paper issuances and line of credit facilities and draws, which are disclosed below under “Electric utility—Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources.” The maximum amount of HEI’s short-term commercial paper borrowings during the first three months of 2021 was $100 million.
On March 17, 2021, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) revised HEI’s outlook to stable from positive and affirmed the “BBB-” issuer credit rating and “A-3” short-term and commercial paper ratings. On April 20, 2021, Moody’s Investor Service’s (Moody’s) upgraded HEI’s short-term rating for commercial paper to “P-2” from “P-3” and revised the outlook to stable from positive.
HEI has a $150 million line of credit facility with no amounts outstanding at March 31, 2021. See Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
There were no new issuances of common stock through the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), HEIRSP or the ASB 401(k) Plan in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan through open market purchases of its common stock.
For the first three months of 2021, net cash provided by operating activities of HEI consolidated was $42 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $518 million, primarily due to capital expenditures, ASB’s purchases of available-for-sale and held-to maturity investment securities, partly offset by ASB’sreceipt of repayments from investment securities, proceeds from the sale of investment securities and net decrease in loans. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $409 million as a result of several factors, including net increases in ASB’s deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings, the issuances of long-term debt and net increases in short-term borrowings, partly offset by repayment of short-term and long-term debt and payment of common stock dividends. During the first three months of 2021, Hawaiian Electric and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $28 million and $5 million, respectively.
Dividends.  The payout ratios for the first three months of 2021 and full year 2020 were 58% and 64%, respectively. On February 9, 2021, the HEI Board of Directors approved a 1 cent increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.33 per share to $0.34 per share, starting with the dividend in the first quarter of 2021. HEI currently expects to maintain its dividend at its present level; however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation including, but not limited to, the Company’s results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company and current and expected future economic conditions, including impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company’s financial statements—that is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and currently require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies, in addition to the critical policy discussed below, see pages 42 to 44, 58 to 59, and 72 to 74 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2020 Form 10-K.
Following are discussions of the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the electric utility and bank segments.

Recent developments—COVID-19
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
Economic conditions in Hawaii have begun to improve in 2021 as vaccination efforts advance and businesses are allowed to operate with fewer restrictions. Statewide daily passenger counts have improved dramatically, reaching a year-to-date high of 22,913 passengers per day on April 3, 2021, but still 28% below the comparable Saturday in 2019. At the end of March, statewide unemployment improved to 9% from 10.3% at the end of the year. While economic activity has increased, the demand for electricity remains lower than pre-pandemic levels. In the first quarter of 2021, kWh sales were down 4.8% compared with the same quarter in 2020. The Utilities expect kWh sales to gradually improve throughout 2021 as the COVID-19 vaccine is more widely distributed and administered, which would allow the economy in Hawaii to fully reopen.
While the Utilities’ electric energy revenues have not been significantly impacted due to the decoupling mechanism, which allows recovery of the difference between PUC approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues regardless of the level of kWh sales, the timing of customer collections would be delayed (or accelerated) if the level of kWh sales decreases below (or increases above) the estimated kWh sales. See “Current Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling. Annually, the Utilities submit a decoupling filing to the PUC, which requests recovery by the utility (or refund to customers) of the difference between recorded adjusted revenues and target revenues under the RBA. The difference is collected or refunded through an adjustment to customer rates in the following year based on estimated sales, starting on June 1st of that following year, which has an impact on the timing of the Utilities’ cash flow. Additionally, although the Utilities’ decoupling mechanism allows for collection under the RBA, the RBA balance accrues interest only at the short-term debt rate from the last rate case (2.5% for Hawaiian Electric, 3.75% for Hawaii Electric Light and 3.0% for Maui Electric). As of March 31, 2021, the RBA balance related to decoupling revenues was approximately $25.9 million, compared to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The billed accounts receivable balances, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $142 million and as of March 31, 2021 is 4.2% lower than the billed accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an improvement in economic conditions from reopening, application of available assistance from various government and community programs, including the Hawaii Utility Bill Assistance Program, which was launched in the first quarter of 2021 and provided funding to Hawaiian Electric customers and other utility companies. The past due accounts receivable balance has decreased by $8 million or 15% since December 31, 2020 with a corresponding decrease in the number of accounts past due by approximately 10% for the same period. While the moratorium on customer disconnections is currently in place through May 31, 2021, efforts are ongoing to continue working with customers on payment plans and other bill assistance for customers through funding from non-profit organizations, as well as state and county relief programs. To address the financing requirement related to the delayed timing of cash flows collected under the decoupling mechanism through the RBA and the modest slowing or reduction in accounts receivable collections from customers, the Utilities have completed a number of steps in 2020 to enhance their liquidity position. See “Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources” for additional information.
The Utilities provide an essential service to the State of Hawaii, and have continued to operate to protect the health and safety of employees and customers and to ensure system reliability, and have been following the Governor’s directive that the Utilities take necessary measures to ensure they can operate in the normal course. The Utilities have also implemented certain aspects of their business continuity plans, which includes the activation of its Incident Management Team to closely manage the response to the pandemic and have implemented practices related to employee and facilities hygiene in order to ensure the reliability and resilience of their operations.
In the second quarter of 2020, the PUC approved the deferral of certain COVID-19 related costs, such as higher bad debt expense, higher financing costs, non-collection of late payment fees, increased personal protective equipment costs, and sequestration costs for mission-critical employees. As of March 31, 2021, these costs, which have been deferred and recorded as a regulatory asset, totaled approximately $22.2 million (see also discussion under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Looking forward, while the distribution and administration of the COVID vaccine is expected to hasten the reopening of the Hawaii economy, the prolonged impact of COVID-19 could adversely affect the ability of the Utilities’ contractors, suppliers, IPPs, and other business partners to perform or fulfill their obligations, or require modifications to existing contracts, which could adversely affect the Utilities’ business, increase expenses, and impact the Utilities’ ability to achieve their RPS goals. Additionally, while the state’s aggressive response to the pandemic has dramatically reduced the spread of the coronavirus, the measures taken have had a severe economic impact on the state’s businesses and residents, which may influence the PUC’s actions regarding future rate increases. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II for additional discussion of risks.
For a discussion regarding the impact of the economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities’ liquidity and capital resources, see discussion under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources.”

2The rate schedules of the electric utilities currently contain PPACs through which changes in purchased power expenses (except purchased energy costs) are passed on to customers.
3 kWh sales were lower when compared to the same periods last year largely due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction to visitor arrivals due to the Safe Travels requirements significantly impacted the tourism industry. This combined with restrictions on business and activities, led to high unemployment, and shuttered many businesses and hotels. As restrictions are eased, vaccination rates increase and more visitors arrive, sales are expected to slowly rebound but remain lower than pre-pandemic levels.

The Utilities’ effective tax rates for the first three months of 2021 and 2020 were at 20% and 18%, respectively. The effective tax rate was higher for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to higher excess tax benefits related to vesting of share-based awards in 2020.

Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated ROACE was 9.0% and 7.4% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of March 31, 2021 amounted to $4.7 billion, of which approximately 27% related to generation PPE, 64% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 9% related to other PPE. Approximately 9% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission. 
See “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
Executive overview and strategy. The Utilities provide electricity on all the principal islands in the state, other than Kauai, to approximately 95% of the state’s population and operate five separate grids. The Utilities’ mission is to provide innovative energy leadership for Hawaii, to meet the needs and expectations of customers and communities, and to empower them with affordable, reliable and clean energy. The goal is to create a modern, resilient, flexible and dynamic electric grid that enables an optimal mix of distributed energy resources, such as private rooftop solar, demand response and grid-scale resources to enable the creation of smart, sustainable, resilient communities and achieve the statutory goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Performance-based regulations. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) approving a new performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transition to renewable energy. The Utilities are fully committed to a 100 percent renewable energy future for Hawaii and are partnering with the State of Hawaii in achieving their Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045. Hawaii’s RPS law requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively.
The Utilities have made significant progress on the path to clean energy and have been successful in adding significant amounts of renewable energy resources to their electric systems and exceeded the 2015 RPS goal two years early. The Utilities’ RPS for 2020 was 34.5%, which was in excess of the statutory goal of 30%. The Utilities will continue to actively procure additional renewable energy post-2020 and expect to meet or exceed the next statutory RPS goal of 40% in advance of the 2030 compliance year. (See “Developments in renewable energy efforts” below).
If the Utilities are not successful in meeting the RPS targets as mandated by law, the PUC could assess a penalty of $20 for every MWh that an electric utility is deficient. Based on the level of electricity sales in 2020, a 1% shortfall in meeting the 2030 RPS requirement of 40% would translate into a penalty of approximately $1.6 million. The PUC has the discretion to reduce the penalty due to events or circumstances that are outside an electric utility’s reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be reasonably foreseen and ameliorated. In addition to penalties under the RPS law, failure to meet the mandated RPS targets would be expected to result in a higher proportion of fossil fuel-based generation than if the RPS target had been achieved, which in turn would be expected to subject the Utilities to limited commodity fossil fuel price exposure under a fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism. The fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of $3.7 million.
The Utilities are fully aligned with, and supportive of, state policy to achieve a 100% renewable energy future and have made significant progress in its transformation. This alignment with state policy is reflected in management compensation programs and the Utilities’ long-range plans, which include aspirational targets in order to catalyze action and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels at a pace more rapid than dictated by current law. The long-range plans, including aspirational targets, serve as guiding principles in the Utilities’ continued transformation, and are updated regularly to adapt to changing technology, costs and other factors. While there is no financial penalty for failure to achieve the Utilities’ long-range aspirational objectives, the Utilities recognize that there is an environmental and social cost from the continued use of fossil fuels.
The State of Hawaii’s policy is supported by the regulatory framework and includes a number of mechanisms designed to maintain the Utilities’ financial stability during the transition toward the State’s 100% renewable energy future. Under the sales decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover from customers, target test year revenues, independent of the level of kWh sales, which have generally declined (with the exception of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020), as privately-owned distributed energy resources have been added to the grid and energy efficiency measures have been put into place. Other regulatory mechanisms reduce regulatory lag, such as the rate adjustment mechanism to provide revenues for escalation in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes between rate cases, and the major project interim recovery mechanism, which allow the Utilities to recover and earn on certain approved major capital projects placed into service in between rate cases. Certain mechanisms were replaced or modified under the new PBR framework. See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” and “Current Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Integrated Grid Planning. Achieving 100% renewable energy will require modernizing the grid through coordinated energy system planning in partnership with local communities and stakeholders. To accomplish this, the Utilities filed their Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) Report with the PUC on March 1, 2018, which provides an innovative systems approach to energy planning intended to yield the most cost-effective renewable energy pathways that incorporates customer and stakeholder input.
In March 2019, the PUC accepted the Utilities’ IGP Work plan submitted on December 14, 2018, which describes the timing and scope of major activities that will occur in the IGP process. The IGP utilizes an inclusive and transparent Stakeholder Engagement model to provide an avenue for interested parties to engage with the Utilities and contribute meaningful input throughout the IGP process. The IGP Stakeholder Council, Technical Advisory Panel and Working groups have been established and meet regularly to provide feedback and input on specific issues and process steps in the IGP. In March 2020, the Utilities launched a broad public engagement program, which consisted of a combination of in-person and online engagement. This provided customers opportunities to connect with the IGP team. The Utilities submitted an updated IGP work plan to the PUC in January 2021, marking the significant progress made through the stakeholder engagement phase of the IGP process. The Utilities will use the stakeholder feedback and input as it enters the next phase of the process which includes the development of long-range integrated grid plans and the acquisition of new resources.
Demand response programs. Pursuant to PUC orders, the Utilities are developing an integrated Demand Response (DR) Portfolio Plan that will enhance system operations and reduce costs to customers. The reduction in cost for the customer will take the form of either rates or incentive-based programs that will compensate customers for their participation individually, or by way of engagements with turnkey service providers that contract with the Utilities to aggregate and deliver various grid services on behalf of participating customers and their distributed assets.
In October 2017, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request made in December 2015 to defer and recover certain computer software and software development costs for a DR Management System in an amount not to exceed $3.9 million, exclusive of allowance for funds used during construction, through the REIP Surcharge. The Utilities placed the DR Management System in service in the first quarter of 2019. On October 30, 2019, the Utilities filed the final cost report, reflecting total project costs of $3.7 million. On February 27, 2020, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to recover deferred and other related costs of the DR Management System through the REIP Surcharge effective March 1, 2020 until such costs are included in determining base rates. On June 26, 2020, the Utilities submitted an updated REIP rate effective August 1, 2020 to the PUC.
On January 25, 2018, the PUC approved the Utilities’ revised DR Portfolio tariff structure. The PUC supported the approach of working with aggregators to implement the DR portfolio. In 2019, the Utilities signed a multi-year Grid Services Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with a third party aggregator. These contracts pay service providers to aggregate grid-supporting capabilities from customer-sited Distributed Energy Resources. The first of these five-year contracts has been executed (PUC approval obtained on August 9, 2019) and is expected to deliver not only benefits through efficient grid operations, but also avoided fuel costs over that 5-year period. The Utilities selected the next set of aggregators in the first quarter of 2020, commenced GSPA contract negotiations, and filed two executed contracts on July 9, 2020. This complements the Utilities’ transformation and supports customer choice. The GSPA contracts were approved by the PUC on December 31, 2020.
Grid modernization. The overall goal of the Grid Modernization Strategy is to deploy modern grid investments at an appropriate priority, sequence and pace to cost-effectively maximize flexibility, minimize the risk of redundancy and obsolescence, deliver customer benefits and enable greater distributed energy resources and renewable energy integration. Under the Grid Modernization Strategy, the Utilities expect that new technology will help increase adoption of private rooftop solar and make use of rapidly evolving products, including storage and advanced inverters. The Utilities have begun work to implement the Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1, which received PUC approval on March 25, 2019. The estimated cost for this initial phase is approximately $86 million and is expected to be incurred over five years. As of March 31, 2021, approximately $18 million has been incurred to date under Phase 1. The Utilities submitted a proportional advanced meter opt-out deployment filing on September 30, 2020 in an effort toward broader and faster deployment, which was approved by the PUC on March 4, 2021.
The Utilities filed an application with the PUC on September 30, 2019 for an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) as part of the second phase of their Grid Modernization Strategy implementation. However, on December 30, 2019, the PUC suspended the Utilities’ application for the Advanced Distribution Management System pending the Utilities’ filing of a supplemental application for the broad deployment of field devices. This supplement and update to the Grid Mod Phase 2 field devices application was filed on March 31, 2021. The estimated cost for the implementation over five years of the ADMS and field devices, which includes capital, deferred and O&M costs, is $105 million. A PUC order resuming the proceeding is pending.
Community-based renewable energy. In December 2017, the PUC adopted a community-based renewable energy (CBRE) program framework which allows customers who cannot, or chose not to, take advantage of private rooftop solar to receive the
59


benefits of renewable energy to help offset their monthly electric bills and support clean energy for Hawaii. The program has two phases.
The first phase, which commenced in July 2018, totals 8 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) only with one credit rate for each island, closed on April 9, 2020.
By PUC order, CBRE Phase 2 commenced on April 9, 2020 with the goal to develop a robust CBRE market with competitive pricing anticipating that clean energy projects and programs, such as CBRE, can meaningfully contribute to the State’s recovery from the COVID-19 emergency. CBRE Phase 2 capacity is substantially larger than Phase 1 and allows up to 235 MW across all Hawaiian Electric service territories in two tranches. The capacities are allocated by island and allow for small (under 250 kW) and large system sizes to encourage a variety of system sizes. In addition to the first-come, first-served process offered in Phase 1, the majority of the 235 MW will be awarded to projects selected through a competitive process. To provide opportunities for low- to moderate-income (LMI) customers to participate in the program, separate project proposals may be submitted specifically targeting LMI customers.
Eight RFPs were required by order: one each for Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Molokai, and Lanai, and LMI-specific RFPs for Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island. Draft RFPs for the three LMI RFPs and the RFPs for Molokai, and Lanai were filed on July 9, 2020, along with a revised tariff and associated contract models. LMI projects do not have a size cap nor do they decrease the 235 MW capacity available to other projects. In addition to its administrative role, the Utilities and their affiliates are eligible to participate in the solicitations, with the exception of the LMI-specific RFPs, where the PUC will only consider a utility self-build option if there are no successful competitive bids for an LMI project on one island or more. The Utilities will also have opportunities to earn based on shared savings mechanisms for specific solicitations. Comments were received during and after a Technical Conference hosted by the PUC on July 28, 2020. Proposed final drafts of the LMI RFPs, Molokai and Lanai RFPs tariff, and contracts were filed on September 8, 2020.
For Lanai, the Utilities proposed to combine the previously issued Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation Paired with Energy Storage RFP and the CBRE RFP to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE Program on Lanai. As proposed, the Lanai CBRE RFP allows the Utilities to continue collaborating with the majority landowner, Pulama Lanai, who has designated a new larger predetermined site to facilitate expeditious development of a renewable energy project that meets the objectives of both RFPs, while reducing the cost of a project by leveraging economies of scale and coordinating interconnection to the grid. On February 10, 2021, Pulama Lanai filed a letter requesting that the Final RFP be issued for Lanai, or, in the alternative, that separate proposals be allowed for CBRE and non-CBRE portions. On February 17, 2021, the Utilities filed comments in response requesting the PUC’s support of the combined RFP.
Drafts of the remaining RFPs on Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island were filed on October 9, 2020. A technical conference was held on October 28, 2020 and proposed final drafts were filed on December 1, 2020.
For small CBRE projects less than 250 kW in size, the Utilities are planning to accept projects over a four-month period on a first-come, first served basis as soon as the PUC approves the Utilities’ final tariff and contracts, filed on September 8, 2020. The PUC reserved 30 MW as well as a small amount of unallocated capacity from Phase 1 for small projects in Phase 2 on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island. If applications exceed the program capacity for that island, then a reverse auction process called Competitive Credit Rate Procurement will be triggered to allocate project capacity and determine the credit rate. The Utilities have developed a CBRE Portal where customers can subscribe to a project once the Subscriber Organization has added their project to the portal.
In January 2021, the PUC directed the Utilities to collaborate with the parties to develop recommended improvements to the interconnection process and certain other elements of the CBRE program within sixty days, or by March 30, 2021. Prior to this Order, the Utilities were already working on interconnection improvements and proposed several ways to potentially improve the time and cost of interconnection during the development of the CBRE Phase 2 tariff and RFPs. As directed by the Order, the Utilities increased their focus and attention on this area and worked with the parties, including the CBRE Independent Observer, to make the interconnection process more transparent, predictable and standardized, including interconnection costs, timelines and requirements in order to reduce costs and accelerate schedules. In addition, the Utilities researched interconnection solutions in other jurisdictions, and worked with the parties to identify additional improvements. The Utilities solicited from the parties a list of recommended improvements, and consolidated and adopted nearly all the near-term and continuous improvement recommendations from the parties. The Utilities filed these recommendations and associated updates to the previously filed RFPs, tariff, and contracts on March 30, 2021. These documents are pending review and approval by the PUC.
Microgrid services tariff proceeding. In July 2018, the PUC opened a proceeding to investigate establishment of a microgrid services tariff, pursuant to Act 200 of 2018. There are currently five intervenors in the docket, although initially there were eight. In August 2019, the PUC issued an order focusing for the remainder of the docket is to facilitate the ability of
60


microgrids to disconnect from the grid and provide backup power to customers and critical energy uses during contingency events.
Two Working Groups were formed: (1) a Market Facilitation Working Group to recommend draft tariff language for the Microgrid Services Tariff; and (2) an Interconnection Standards Working Group to develop a new section of Rule 14H specific to interconnection and islanding/reconnection of microgrids. The Utilities filed a Draft Microgrid Services Tariff and updated language for various distributed energy resources Rules on March 30, 2020.Parties to the docket filed comments on and proposed revisions to the Draft Tariff on April 27, 2020.
On November 30, 2020, the PUC held a technical conference to present its proposed redlines to Utilities’ Draft Microgrid Services Tariff and related documents. On February 1, 2021, the Working Group filed its Draft Microgrid Tariff. Members of the Working Group separately filed their positions on areas of disagreements and later commented on other parties’ positions on areas of disagreements on February 10, 2021 and February 17, 2021, respectively. This matter is pending a PUC decision and or guidance on how to proceed.
Decoupling. See "Current Decoupling" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.
As part of decoupling, the Utilities also track their rate-making ROACEs as calculated under the earnings sharing mechanism, which includes only items considered in establishing rates. At year-end, each utility’s rate-making ROACE is compared against its ROACE allowed by the PUC to determine whether earnings sharing has been triggered. The D&O in the PBR proceeding modified the earnings sharing mechanism to a symmetric arrangement. Effective with annual earnings for 2021, the earnings sharing will be triggered for actual ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead band above and below a target ROE of 9.5%, which is the current authorized ROE for each of the Utilities. Earnings sharing credits or recoveries will be included in the annual decoupling filing for the following year. Results for 2020, 2019 and 2018 did not trigger the earnings sharing mechanism for the Utilities.
Regulated returns. Actual and PUC-allowed returns, as of March 31, 2021, were as follows:

*      Based on recorded operating income and average rate base, both adjusted for items not included in determining electric rates.
**    Recorded net income divided by average common equity.
***  ROACE adjusted to remove items not included by the PUC in establishing rates, such as incentive compensation.
The factors contributing to the difference between PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs actually achieved include the exclusion of certain expenses from rates (for example, incentive compensation and charitable contributions), the recognition of annual RAM revenues on June 1 annually rather than on January 1, and return on capital additions since the last rate case in excess of indexed escalations. For Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Electric Light, the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 rate-making ROACEs reflect higher earnings due to timing differences in the first quarter of 2021, including overhaul expenses, and a change in the timing of the recognition of target revenues relative to 2020.

1 A final D&O issued on October 22, 2020 ordered final rates for the 2020 test year to remain at current effective rates, which provides for no increase to base rates. Hawaiian Electric’s proposed RBA provision tariff and ECRC tariff submitted on November 6, 2020 were approved by the PUC on December 11, 2020. The proposed RBA provision tariff and ECRC tariff took effect on January 1, 2021.
2 A final D&O issued on July 28, 2020 ordered final rates for the 2019 test year to remain at current effective rates, such that there is a zero increase in rates. The proposed final tariffs and PIM tariffs took effect on November 1, 2020, and the ECRC tariff became effective on January 1, 2021.
See also “Most recent rate proceedings” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On December 23, 2020, the PBR D&O was issued, establishing a new PBR Framework. The PBR Framework implemented a five-year multi-year rate period (MRP), during which there will be no general rate case applications. In the fourth year of the MRP, the PUC will comprehensively review the PBR Framework to determine if any modifications or revisions are appropriate.
Developments in renewable energy effortsDevelopments in the Utilities’ efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:
New renewable PPAs.
In December 2014, the PUC approved a PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy dated October 3, 2013 between Hawaiian Electric and Na Pua Makani Power Partners, LLC (NPM) for a proposed 24-MW wind farm on Oahu. In August 2020, the project was energized and commissioning of all wind turbines was completed. However, the project was paused due to a conductor deficiency. Hawaiian Electric reconductored the 46kV circuit and in December 2020, the project reached commercial operation.
NPM received its Incidental Take Permit from the Department of Fish and Wildlife Service on September 7, 2018. Keep the North Shore Country (KNSC) has appealed this decision and the case has been transferred to the Hawaii Supreme Court. On June 17, 2020, KNSC filed a Motion for Stay Upon Appeal. On August 10, 2020, KNSC’s Motion for Stay Upon Appeal was denied. KNSC and Kahuku Community Association (KCA) have also petitioned to appeal NPM’s Conditional Use Permits. On August 6, 2020, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) granted NPM’s Motions to Dismiss the Appeal Petitions of KNSC and KCA.
Life of the Land (LOL) filed a Motion for Relief to argue the PUC’s approval for NPM PPA was invalid and should be revised. Hawaiian Electric and the Consumer Advocate filed an opposition to this motion for relief. A hearing on the motion for relief was held on November 22, 2019. On April 16, 2020, the PUC issued an order denying LOL’s Motion for Relief. On April 27, 2020, LOL filed a Notice of Appeal of the PUC’s order with the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii. Hawaiian Electric filed its Answering Brief with the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii on November 12, 2020. Oral argument was held on May 7, 2021.
On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (ARPPA), subject to approval by the PUC. The ARPPA extends the term of the existing PPA by 25 years to 2052, expands the firm capacity of the facility to 46 MW and delinks the pricing for energy delivered from the facility from fossil fuel prices to reduce cost to customers. The PUC suspended the docket pending the completion of a supplemental environmental review. On April 12, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light filed a motion for reconsideration and clarification in the proceeding.

Tariffed renewable resources.
As of March 31, 2021, there were approximately 523 MW, 111 MW and 125 MW of installed distributed renewable energy technologies (mainly PV) at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, for tariff-based private customer generation programs, namely Standard Interconnection Agreement, Net Energy Metering, Net Energy Metering Plus, Customer Grid Supply, Customer Self Supply, Customer Grid Supply Plus and Interim Smart Export. As of March 31, 2021, an estimated 31% of single family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui have installed private rooftop solar systems, and approximately 19% of the Utilities’ total customers have solar systems.   
The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of March 31, 2021, there were 43 MW, 2 MW and 5 MW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
Biofuel sources.
In July 2018, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s three-year biodiesel supply contract with Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC (PBT) to supply 2 million to 4 million gallons of biodiesel at Hawaiian Electric’s Schofield Generating Station and the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility (HIA Facility) and any other generating unit on Oahu, as necessary. The PBT contract became effective on November 1, 2018 and has been extended for one year through December 2022. Hawaiian Electric also has a spot buy contract with PBT to purchase additional quantities of biodiesel at or below the price of diesel. Some purchases of “at parity” biodiesel have been made under the spot purchase contract, which was extended through June 2022.
Hawaiian Electric has a contingency supply contract with REG Marketing & Logistics Group, LLC to also supply biodiesel to any generating unit on Oahu in the event PBT is not able to supply necessary quantities. This contingency contract has been extended to November 2022, and will continue with no volume purchase requirements.
Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information.
Under a request for proposal process governed by the PUC and monitored by independent observers, in February 2018, the Utilities issued RFPs for 220 MW of renewable generation on Oahu, 50 MW of renewable generation on Hawaii Island, and 60 MW of renewable generation on Maui. As of March 31, 2021, summarized information for a total of 8 PPAs is as follows:
UtilitiesNumber of contractsTotal photovoltaic size (MW)BESS Size (MW/MWh)Guaranteed commercial operation datesContract term (years)Total projected annual payment (in millions)

Maui Electric27575/3007/20/21 & 6/30/222517.6 
Total8274.5274.5/1,098$62.6 
The Utilities have received PUC approvals to recover the total projected annual payment of $62.6 million for the eight PPAs through the PPAC to the extent such costs are not included in base rates.
In continuation of their February 2018 request for proposal process, the Utilities issued their Stage 2 Renewable RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island and Grid Services RFP on August 22, 2019. This procurement plan sought approximately 900 MW of renewable energy, including 594 MW on Oahu, 135 MW on Maui and a range between 32 to 203 MW on Hawaii Island. This second phase, as approved by the PUC, was open to all renewable and storage resources, including efforts to add more renewable generation, renewable plus storage, standalone storage and grid services. The scope of these RFPs has been expanded to accelerate renewable energy procurement beyond the remainder of the 2022 targets identified in Stage 1 to include the energy requirement associated with the planned retirement of the Kahului Power Plant on Maui and the upcoming expiration of the agreement for the AES Hawaii facility on Oahu. For the Grid Services RFP, the targets had been expanded in alignment with the Renewable RFPs Utility proposals were submitted on November 4, 2019. Proposals from third parties for these RFPs were submitted on November 5, 2019. Final awards for the renewable projects were made on May 8, 2020. Final awards for the grid services projects were made starting in January 2020. On Oahu, seven solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project totaling approximately 281 MW of generation and 1.8 GWh of storage were selected. On Maui Island, three solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project totaling approximately 100 MW of generation and 560 MWh of storage were selected. On Hawaii Island, two solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project totaling approximately 72 MW of generation and 492 MWh of storage were selected. Two Utility Self-Build projects were among those selected; a 40-MW, 160-MWh standalone energy storage system on Maui and a 12-MW,
63


12-MWh storage system on Hawaii Island. Since selection, three renewable plus storage projects have voluntarily withdrawn from the process for various reasons, including change in circumstances for the developer and a misunderstanding of contract requirements. To date, the Utilities have filed 10 PPAs, 2 grid services purchase agreements (GSPA) and 2 applications for commitments of funds for capital expenditures for approval of the utility self-build projects with the PUC.
A summary of the 10 PPAs that were filed with the PUC, is as follows:

On November 27, 2019, the Utilities issued RFPs for renewable generation paired with energy storage on the islands of Lanai and Molokai. The Utilities were seeking PV paired with storage or small wind (specified as 100 kW turbines or smaller) on Molokai and PV paired with storage on Lanai. Proposals for the Molokai RFP were received on February 14, 2020. The Lanai RFP was temporarily postponed, while the Utilities reevaluated the system needs. The Utilities filed an update to the Lanai RFP on March 10, 2020. In light of a PUC order issued on April 9, 2020 in the CBRE docket, the Utilities proposed in their July 9, 2020 filing to combine the previously issued Lanai RFP with the CBRE RFP described in the order to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE program on Lanai. The proposed combined Lanai RFP is before the PUC for approval. On October 15, 2020, the Utilities selected one project from the Molokai RFP for a total of 4.5 MW of solar and 24 MWh of storage. The developer, however, declined to accept the award. The Utilities are currently evaluating next steps.
Review of Interconnection Process and Kapolei Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement.
In February 2021, the PUC initiated a docket for the purposes of reviewing the status and interconnection progress of various utility-related renewable projects (i.e. Stage 1 and Stage 2 RFP PPAs and CBRE) and the Utilities’ transition plans for the expiration of the AES power purchase agreement, the retirement of the Kahului Power Plant, and other
64


fossil fuel power plant transition plans, as needed. The Utilities filed initial status updates on the project timelines, steps needed for each of the renewable projects to achieve commercial operation and steps the Utilities are taking to address projected extensions of guaranteed commercial operation dates (GCOD) for renewable projects under development, which are due to a variety of factors, including those outside of the control of the Utilities. The PUC subsequently held status conferences on the Utilities’ updates. In April 2021, the PUC issued an Order directing the Utilities to establish regulatory liabilities for the difference between the on-peak avoided cost and the unit price included in the applications for approval of the renewable project PPAs, effective with the GCOD included in the applications (the earliest GCOD included in the applications is July 2021) or from the date of the Order for CBRE Phase 1 projects. The amount of regulatory liabilities to be recorded in future periods are not determinable at this time and would be affected by a number of factors, including the length of the GCOD extension period, the monthly on-peak avoided cost, as well as the factors described above. The Utilities filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the entire Order, or in the alternative to clarify that at most the PUC is directing the Utilities to track the information and not record the information at this time. The Utilities further requested a Stay of the Order pending resolution of the Motion. The Utilities maintain that extensions of GCODs are allowed under the PUC-approved contracts and that the Order has the unintended consequence of imposing penalties against the Utilities without due process. The full text of the Order, Motion for Reconsideration and request for a Stay of the Order can be found on the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2021-0024).
Also in April 2021, the PUC approved the Kapolei Energy Storage (KES) PPA (one of the PPAs as a result of the Stage 2 Renewable RFP process) (KES Decision and Order), subject to nine conditions, including the Utilities forgoing the second portion of the PIM rewards amounting up to $1.7 million for the Stage 1 RFP PPAs, removing grid constraints for the Utilities’ CBRE Phase 2 projects and for existing and new distributed energy programs, financial retirement of Hawaiian Electric generating units by specified dates and adjusting target revenues at the retirement dates for such retirements, and a requirement to charge the batteries in the project using significant levels of renewable energy generation. The financial retirement of the generating units described in the KES Decision and Order is contrary to the intent of Hawaii Revised Statutes §269-6(d), which encourages the recovery of stranded costs for the retirement of fossil fuel generation, and contrary to the regulatory compact under which in return for agreeing to commit capital necessary to allow utilities to meet their obligation to serve, utilities are assured recovery of their investment and a fair opportunity to earn a reasonable return on the capital prudently committed to the business. The undepreciated amount of the six generating units at the retirement dates noted in the KES Decision and Order is currently estimated to be approximately $55 million, and excludes certain asset retirement obligation costs, which are not determinable at this time. Hawaiian Electric plans to file a Motion for Reconsideration and Stay of the Decision and Order due to potentially significant financial and operational impacts. Depending on the PUC’s ruling on that motion, Hawaiian Electric would have the option of proceeding with the Decision and Order as may be amended, filing an appeal, or considering declaring the contract with KES null and void. The full text of the KES Decision and Order and, when filed, the Motion for Reconsideration and Stay with respect thereto, can be found on the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2020-0136).
Legislation and regulation. Congress and the Hawaii legislature periodically consider legislation that could have positive or negative effects on the Utilities and their customers. Also see “Environmental regulation” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fuel contracts. The fuel contract entered into in January 2019, by the Utilities and PAR Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR Hawaii), for the Utilities’ low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO), high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), No. 2 diesel, and ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) requirements was approved by the PUC, and became effective on April 28, 2019 and terminates on December 31, 2022. This contract is a requirement contract with no minimum purchases. If PAR Hawaii is unable to provide LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD the contract allows the Utilities to purchase LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD from another supplier. The contract will automatically renew upon the conclusion of the original term for successive terms of 1 year beginning on January 1, 2023 unless a party gives written termination notice at least 120 days before the beginning of an extension. The costs incurred under the contract with PAR Hawaii are recovered in the Utilities’ respective ECRCs.
On June 9, 2020, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii entered into a First Amendment to the fuel contract. The First Amendment amends only the pricing to create a two-tiered structure based on volume, with all tier-1 LSFO up to the tier-1 maximum to be purchased exclusively from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing, and purchases in excess of that volume (tier-2) either from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing, or from an alternative supplier. On August 4, 2020, the PUC approved the First Amendment, which has an effective date of July 15, 2020, on an interim basis. The PUC’s approval order allows the recovery of such costs associated with the First Amendment through the ECRC to the extent that the costs are not recovered in base rates. The PUC intends to review whether the First Amendment is reasonable and in the public interest in the final decision, but it will not subject the recovery of the costs between the interim decision and the final decision to retroactive disallowances.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources.As of March 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding on Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facilities and no commercial paper borrowings by the Utilities.
On January 14, 2021, the Utilities received $115 million of proceeds using a delayed draw feature under a private placement executed on October 29, 2020. The proceeds were used to finance capital expenditures and reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures.
The Utilities believe that their ability to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, as well as bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their contractual obligations and commercial commitments, their forecasted capital expenditures and investments, their expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, and the Utilities cannot predict the extent or duration of the outbreak, the future effects that it will have on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on the Utilities’ ability, as well as the cost, to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Utilities’ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part II for further discussion of risks and uncertainties.

As of March 31, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had no short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric. In addition to the short-term borrowings above, on January 15, 2021, Hawaiian Electric paid off and terminated the $50 million term loan facility dated as of May 19, 2020.
Hawaiian Electric has a $200 million line of credit facility and a $75 million 364-day revolving credit facility with no amounts outstanding at March 31, 2021. On April 19, 2021, Hawaiian Electric’s $75 million 364-day revolving credit agreement terminated and was not renewed. See Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Bank loans. On January 15, 2021, Hawaiian Electric paid off and terminated the $50 million term loan credit agreement dated as of May 19, 2020.
Credit ratings. On March 17, 2021, S&P upgraded Hawaiian Electric’s issuer credit rating to “BBB” from “BBB-”, upgraded the short-term and commercial paper ratings to “A-2” from “A-3” and revised the outlook to stable from positive. The rating upgrade was primarily based on Hawaiian Electric’s strong financial measures, strength of the cumulative value of the regulatory protections, and S&P’s assessment of its stand-alone credit profile as sufficient to rate Hawaiian Electric higher than HEI.
On April 20, 2021, Moody’s upgraded Hawaiian Electric’s senior unsecured rating and issuer rating to “Baa1” from “Baa2” and revised the outlook to stable from positive. The rating upgrade reflects Hawaiian Electric's considerable progress in adding renewable resources to its energy supply mix and the improving regulatory relationship with the PUC.
SPRBs. Special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) have been issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) to finance (and refinance) capital improvement projects of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries, but the
66


sources of their repayment are the non-collateralized obligations of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries under loan agreements and notes issued to the DBF, including Hawaiian Electric’s guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations.
On May 24, 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to issue SPRBs in the amounts of up to $70 million, $2.5 million and $7.5 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, prior to June 30, 2020, to finance the Utilities’ capital improvement programs. Pursuant to this approval, on October 10, 2019, the DBF issued, at par, Series 2019 SPRBs in the aggregate principal amount of $80 million with a maturity of October 1, 2049. As of March 31, 2021, Hawaiian Electric had $12 million of undrawn funds remaining with the trustee. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had no undrawn funds as of March 31, 2021.
On June 10, 2019, the Hawaii legislature authorized the issuance of up to $700 million of SPRBs ($400 million for Hawaiian Electric, $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $150 million for Maui Electric), with PUC approval, prior to June 30, 2024, to finance the Utilities’ multi-project capital improvement programs (2019 Legislative Authorization).
On February 9, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to issue SPRBs (up to $100 million, $35 million and $45 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively) through 2022, with the proceeds to be used to finance the Utilities’ multi-project capital improvement programs. The PUC also approved the use of the expedited approval procedure to request the issuance and sale of the remaining/unused amount of SPRBs authorized by the 2019 Legislative Authorization (i.e., total not to exceed up to $400 million for Hawaiian Electric, up to $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light, and up to $150 million for Maui Electric) during the period January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Taxable debt. On January 31, 2019, the Utilities received PUC approval (January 2019 Approval) to issue the remaining authorized amounts under the PUC approval received in April 2018 (April 2018 Approval) in 2019 through 2020 (Hawaiian Electric up to $205 million and Hawaii Electric Light up to $15 million of taxable debt), as well as a supplemental increase to authorize the issuance of additional taxable debt to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures, and to refinance the Utilities’ 2004 junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (QUIDS) prior to maturity. In addition, the January 2019 Approval authorized the Utilities to extend the period to issue additional taxable debt from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The new total “up to” amounts of taxable debt requested to be issued through December 31, 2022 are $410 million, $150 million and $130 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui Electric have $135 million, $85 million, and $45 million, respectively, of remaining taxable debt to issue prior to December 31, 2022. See summary table below.

Cash flows. The following table reflects the changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020:
Three months ended March 31
(in thousands)20212020Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$31,961 $39,141 $(7,180)
Net cash used in investing activities(68,498)(116,431)47,933 
Net cash provided by financing activities36,460 78,707 (42,247)

Net cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in fuel oil stock due to less consumption.
Net cash used in investing activities. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in capital expenditures related to construction activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by repayment of short-term debt.
Forecast capital expenditures. For the three-year period 2021 through 2023, the Utilities forecast up to $1.2 billion of net capital expenditures, which could change over time based upon external factors such as the timing and scope of environmental regulations and/or unforeseen delays in permitting and timing of PUC decisions. Proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt, cash flows from operating activities, temporary increases in short-term borrowings and existing cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide the funds needed for the net capital expenditures, to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings, as well as to fund any unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2021 to 2023 forecast (such as increases in the costs or acceleration of capital projects, or unanticipated capital expenditures that may be required by new environmental laws and regulations).
Management periodically reviews capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects. These estimates may change significantly as a result of many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in forecasts of kWh sales and peak load, the availability of purchased power and changes in expectations concerning the construction and ownership of future generation units, the availability of generating sites and transmission and distribution corridors, the need for fuel infrastructure investments, the ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases, escalation in construction costs, the effects of opposition to proposed construction projects and requirements of environmental and other regulatory and permitting authorities.

Recent Developments—COVID-19
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
In the first quarter of 2021, economic conditions in Hawaii began to improve following the rollout of stimulus programs and the loosening of business restrictions, both of which boosted economic activity. Continued efforts to vaccinate a high proportion of the population quickly and the potential implementation of a “vaccine passport” is expected to further accelerate the economic recovery. With increased optimism regarding an acceleration of an economic recovery, long-term rates increased during the quarter. However, interest rates across the curve remain at relatively low levels, and continue to negatively impact net interest margin as new loan origination rates remain below existing portfolio yields. In the first quarter of 2021, the bank’s net interest margin was 2.95% compared to 3.12% and 3.72% for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
In response to COVID-19, ASB made short-term loan modifications to borrowers who were generally payment current at the time of relief. As of March 31, 2021, approximately $9 million of loans remained in their active deferral period. For the loans that have completed their short-term payment deferral period, approximately $17 million of loans required further assistance through repayment modifications and ASB reflected these loans as troubled debt restructured loans as of March 31, 2021. Approximately $13 million of loans were not able to resume their contractual payments and were considered delinquent as of March 31, 2021. As a result of an overall strengthening of the Hawaii economy and a corresponding improvement in the credit outlook in the first quarter of 2021, as reflected in upgrades in the commercial loan portfolio and overall lower net charge offs, ASB recorded an $8.4 million recovery of the provision for credit losses to reduce the allowance for credit losses. The provision for credit losses in future quarters will be dependent on future economic conditions and changes to borrower credit quality at that time.
In 2020, ASB temporarily closed 15 of its 49 branches and reduced banking hours at the branches that remained open in an effort to reduce social gathering and protect employees and customers. The bank has since reopened five of the branches that were temporarily closed and permanently closed eight branches. The reduction in ASB’s branch network should not have a significant impact to the bank’s customers as there are other branches nearby and other channels such as online and mobile banking. ASB continues to evaluate its branch network to determine whether further changes may be appropriate given its customers’ use of other banking channels.
ASB’s senior management team continues to meet on a regular basis to manage the response to the pandemic and discuss key focus areas such as the safety of the bank’s employees and customers as well as any impacts to the operations of the bank. Senior management also continues to meet regularly with ASB’s board of directors to keep them apprised of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided over $2 trillion in economic assistance for American workers, families, and small businesses, and job preservation for American industries. The PPP was established under the CARES Act and implemented by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law on June 5, 2020 and the Economic Aid Act was signed into law on December 27, 2020, which amended some of the prior rules and guidelines of the CARES Act. The Economic Aid Act established a second round of PPP, reopening the PPP for first-time borrowers and allowing for a second draw for businesses that meet more restrictive eligibility criteria to target businesses hardest hit by the pandemic. Loans issued through the PPP are 100% federally guaranteed and have a maturity of 2-5 years, depending on when the loan was made, at a fixed interest rate of 1%. Loan payments will be deferred until the earlier of (a) the date that the forgiven amount is remitted to the lender by the SBA; or (b) 10 months from the date the covered period ends. The SBA will forgive all loan amounts to a particular small business if such small business is compliant with the terms and conditions of the PPP. Small businesses had the earlier of 24 weeks from disbursement of the loan or December 31, 2020 to incur allowable expenses such as payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utility expenses that would be covered by the loan forgiveness rules, with 60% of the loan forgiveness needing to be for payroll costs. There is a partial forgiveness if less than 60% of the loan disbursement was spent on payroll costs. Employers had until December 31, 2020 to restore their workforce. Lenders processed and approved the PPP loans under delegated authority of the SBA. As an existing SBA certified lender, ASB worked with a number of small businesses, both customers and non-customers, to complete the loan application forms so that these businesses could participate in the program. During the first round of PPP, the Bank secured more than $370 million in PPP loans for approximately 4,100 small businesses that supported over 40,000 jobs, ASB received processing fees totaling approximately $13 million and started recognizing these fees over the life of the loans. The Bank is participating in the second round of PPP which opened for submission by banks on January 19, 2021. As of April 7, 2021, ASB secured more than $160 million for approximately 2,000 small businesses that supported more than 18,000 jobs.

Other provisions of the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
ASB continues to maintain its low-risk profile, strong balance sheet and straightforward community banking business model.

Interest income$59 $65 $(6)
Average loan portfolio yields 57 basis points lower—impacted by the continued low interest rate environment as adjustable rate loans have repriced lower during the past year and new loan production yields continue to originate below their portfolio yields.
Average loan portfolio balances increased $207 million - commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolio balances increased by $275 million and $211 million, respectively. Home equity lines of credit and consumer loan portfolios decreased $162 million and $91 million, respectively - strategic decision to reduce production of these loans in the current economic environment.
Average investment securities portfolio balance increased $983 million—excess liquidity from strong deposit growth invested in agency securities.
Average investment securities yields 119 basis points lower—impacted by the continued low interest rate environment as the amortization of premiums on investment securities have increased with faster prepayment assumptions and new investment security purchase yields continue to be lower than the investment security portfolio yields.
Noninterest income19 15 
Higher mortgage banking income due to higher residential loan sale volume.
Higher bank-owned life insurance income primarily due to proceeds from a death claim and higher fair market value adjustment on bank owned life insurance assets.

Revenues77 80 (3)The decrease in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to lower interest income, partly offset by higher noninterest income.
Interest expense(3)
Lower interest expense on deposits—lower term certificate balances due to runoff of government term certificates and lower deposit yields as a result of the continued low interest rate environment.
Average core deposit balances increased $1.4 billion; average term certificate balances decreased $230 million.
Average deposit yields decreased from 15 basis points to 8 basis points.
Lower interest expense on other borrowings—primarily due to lower repurchase agreement yields as a result of the continued low interest rate environment.
Provision for credit losses(8)10 (18)
Negative provision for credit losses reflects improvement in economic outlook, strong credit results including lower net charge-offs and credit upgrades in commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios.
Negative provision for credit losses also due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio balances which had higher credit loss rates.
Delinquency rates have decreased—from 0.48% at March 31, 2020 to 0.43% at March 31, 2021.
Net charge-off to average loans have decreased—from 0.44% at March 31, 2020 to 0.18% at March 31, 2021 due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio net charge-offs.

Earning assets, costing liabilities, contingencies and other factors.  Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The interest rate environment has been impacted by disruptions in the financial markets over a period of several years. In 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its federal funds rate target range to 0% - 0.25% in response to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decrease in ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin. A prolonged low interest rate environment may continue to negatively impact ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin.
Loans and mortgage-backed securities are ASB’s primary earning assets.
72


Loan portfolio.  ASB’s loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and management’s responses to these factors. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the composition of ASB’s loans.
Home equity— key credit statistics. The HELOC portfolio makes up 17% of the total loan portfolio and is generally an interest-only revolving loan for a 10-year period, after which time the HELOC outstanding balance converts to a fully amortizing variable-rate term loan with a 20-year amortization period. Borrowers also have a “Fixed Rate Loan Option” to convert a part of their available line of credit into a 5, 7 or 10-year fully amortizing fixed-rate loan with level principal and interest payments. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 21% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the Fixed Rate Loan Option. A HELOC loan is typically in a subordinate lien position to a borrower’s first mortgage loan, however, approximately 57% of ASB’s HELOC loan portfolio is in a first lien position.
Attention had been given by regulators and rating agencies to the potential for increased exposure to credit losses associated with HELOCs that were originated during the period of rapid home price appreciation between 2003 and 2007 as they have reached the end of their 10-year, interest-only payment periods. Once the interest only payment period has ended, payments are reset to include principal repayments along with interest. ASB does not have a large exposure to HELOCs originated between 2003 and 2007. Nearly all of ASB’s HELOC originations prior to 2008 consisted of amortizing equity lines that have structured principal payments during the draw period. These older equity lines represent 1% of the HELOC portfolio.
Loan portfolio risk elements.  See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Investment securities.  ASB’s investment portfolio was comprised as follows:
 March 31, 2021December 31, 2020
(dollars in thousands)Balance% of totalBalance% of total
U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations$57,647 %$62,322 %

Mortgage revenue bonds15,427 27,185 
Total investment securities$2,600,303 100 %$2,197,364 100 %
Currently, ASB’s investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and mortgage revenue bonds. ASB owns mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government agencies or sponsored agencies, including the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Small Business Administration (SBA). Principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and SBA are guaranteed by the issuer and, in the case of GNMA and SBA, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury securities are also backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. The increase in the investment securities portfolio was primarily due to the purchase of securities with excess liquidity.
Deposits and other borrowings.  Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and management’s responses to these factors. While deposits have increased by $358 million year-to-date, in part due to PPP loan proceeds and consumer economic impact payments from the CARES Act stimulus program, deposit retention and sustained growth will remain challenging in the current environment due to competition for deposits and the low level of short-term interest rates. Advances from the FHLB of Des Moines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased continue to be additional sources of funds. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 99% deposits and 1% other borrowings. The weighted average cost of deposits for the first three months of 2021 and 2020 was 0.08% and 0.23%, respectively.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ASB had no advances outstanding at the FHLB of Des Moines. As of March 31, 2021, the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines was $2.0 billion. The FHLB of Des Moines continues to be an important source of liquidity for ASB.
Contingencies.  ASB is subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, ASB cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.
Other factors.  Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations and also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASB’s investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into
73


decreases and increases in the fair value of the investment securities, respectively. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of the investment securities.
As of March 31, 2021, ASB had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI of $25.8 million compared to an unrealized gain, net of taxes, of $20.0 million as of December 31, 2020. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk” for a discussion of ASB’s interest rate risk sensitivity.
During the first three months of 2021, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $7.0 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily due to improvement in the economic outlook, strong credit results including lower net charge-offs and credit upgrades in commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios and due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio balances which had higher credit loss rates. During the first three months of 2020, ASB recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.9 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily due to increased loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio, increased loss rates for the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios and reserves for forecasted deterioration due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ASB maintains a reserve for credit losses that consists of two components, the allowance for credit losses and an allowance for loan commitments (unfunded reserve). The level of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted by recording an expense or recovery in provision for credit losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, ASB recorded a recovery in the provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $1.4 million and a provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Legislation and regulation.  ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the OCC and the FDIC. Depending on ASB’s level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the discussion below under “Liquidity and capital resources.”
Changes to Community Bank Leverage Ratio. In April 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued two interim final rules to implement Section 4012 of the CARES Act, which requires the agencies to temporarily lower the community bank leverage ratio to 8 percent. The two rules modify the community bank leverage ratio framework so that:
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and until the end of the year, a banking organization that has a leverage ratio of 8 percent or greater and meets certain other criteria may elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework; and
Community banking organizations will have until January 1, 2022 before the community bank leverage ratio requirement is re-established at greater than 9 percent.
Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio was 8 percent beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5 percent for calendar year 2021, and 9 percent thereafter. The interim final rules also maintain a two-quarter grace period for a qualifying community banking organization whose leverage ratio falls no more than 1 percent below the applicable community bank leverage ratio.
As of March 31, 2021, the bank was in compliance with all of the minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations, and was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework, which allowed it to report only on the community bank leverage ratio, but does not change minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations. At March 31, 2021, ASB’s leverage fell below the 8.5 percent requirement to qualify for abbreviated reporting under the community bank leverage framework for 2021. The bank will begin reporting its risk-based capital ratios if the community bank leverage ratio does not meet the 2021 requirement after the two-quarter grace period.
Covered Savings Associations. On May 24, 2019, the OCC issued a final rule to allow federal savings associations with total consolidated assets of $20 billion or less, as reported by the association to the OCC on its call report as of December 31, 2017, to elect to operate as covered savings associations. A covered savings association generally has the same rights and
74


privileges as a national bank that has its main office situated in the same location as the home office of the covered savings association, with some exceptions. It is subject to the same duties, restrictions, penalties, liabilities, conditions, and limitations that apply to a national bank, with some exceptions, and must comply with certain rules and regulations applicable to the powers and investments of a national bank. A covered savings association is not required to comply with the lending and investment limits in HOLA and is not required to be a qualified thrift lender under HOLA. Finally, a covered savings association is not permitted to retain or engage in any subsidiaries, assets, or activities that are not permissible for a national bank. ASB has initiated a preliminary examination of the benefits and disadvantages of such an election with the preservation of being held by a unitary thrift holding company in mind. On April 1, 2021, the general counsel of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued an opinion letter to another institution regarding the preservation of the unitary thrift holding company status. ASB is now undertaking a review of that letter. The bank has not reached a decision on the election.

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $80$17 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $211$448 million, primarily due to purchases of investmentavailable-for-sale securities of $369$782 million, purchases of held-to-maturity securities of $88 million, additions to premises and equipment of $36$3 million, and contributions to low-incomelow income housing investments of $8$3 million and a net increase in stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $1 million, partly offset by the receipt of repayments from investment securities of $155$205 million, proceeds from the sale of commercial loansinvestment securities of $31$197 million, a net decrease in loans receivable of $13$24 million and a decrease in restricted cashproceeds from redemption of $2bank owned life insurance of $3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $131$362 million, primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $203 million, proceeds from FHLB advances of $60$358 million and a net increase in retail repurchase agreements of $24$13 million, partly offset by principal payments on FHLB advancesa net decrease in mortgage escrow deposits of $110$4 million and $5 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $29 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $140 million, primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities of $159 million, a net increase in loans of $66 million, additions to premises and equipment of $2 million and contributions to low income housing investments of $1 million, partly offset by the receipt of repayments from investment securities of securities sold under agreements$82 million and proceeds from the sale of low income housing investments of $7 million.

ASB believes that maintaining a satisfactory regulatory capital position provides a basis for public confidence, affords protection to depositors, helps to ensure continued access to capital markets on favorable terms and provides a foundation for growth. FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB has adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework and is required to report only its leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ASB was well-capitalized (minimum(well-capitalized ratio requirements noted in parentheses)


with a Common equity Tier-1 ratio of 12.7% (6.5%), a Tier-1 capital ratio of 12.7% (8.0%), a Total capital ratio of 13.9% (10.0%) and a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.7%8.3% (5.0%). As of December 31, 2016, ASB was well-capitalized with a common equity Tier-1 ratio of 12.2% and 8.4% (5.0%), Tier-1 capital ratio of 12.2%, a Total capital ratio of 13.4% and a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.6%.respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company considers interest-rate risk (a non-trading market risk) to be a very significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have a significant effectmaterial impacts on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

ASB’s interest-rate risk sensitivity measures as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20162020 constitute “forward-looking statements” and were as follows:

Management believes that ASB’s net interest rate risk positionincome (NII) sensitivity profile was less asset sensitive as of September 30, 2017 represents a reasonable level of risk. The NII profile under the rising interest rate scenarios was more asset sensitive for all rate increasesMarch 31, 2021 as of September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Interest income increased due to2020, primarily driven by the growth of the investment portfolio and higher income from the commercial and HELOC loan portfolios due to an increase in market rates and core deposit funded investment securities purchases. The increase in market rates decreased prepayment expectations in the short-term LIBORbank’s fixed-rate mortgage and prime rates.mortgage-backed investment portfolios, driving decreased asset sensitivity. In addition, the repricing assumptionsdeployment of certain commercial loans were updated, which resulted in a net increase in NII.strong core deposit growth into new fixed-rate investment purchases further contributed to decreased sensitivity.
ASB’s base EVE increased to $1.15 billion
Economic value of equity (EVE) sensitivity decreased as of September 30, 2017, compared to $1.09 billion as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016, due to the growth and mix of the balance sheet. The growth of the investment portfolio was funded with the increase in core deposits. The upward shift in short term rates resulted in the market valuation of assets exceeding the valuation of liabilities.
EVE sensitivity to rising rates declined as of September 30, 20172021 compared to December 31, 2016. During2020 as the first nine monthsduration of assets lengthened. The steepening of the year,yield curve led to slower prepayment expectations and lengthened the purchaseduration of intermediate-termed durationthe fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment securities was funded by longer duration core deposits, resulting in a net decrease in EVE sensitivity. In addition, during the third quarter, the implementation of a new balance sheet management system along with some modeling improvements further decreased sensitivity.portfolios.
The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes on the NII sensitivity and the percentage change in EVE is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, balance changes and pricing strategies, and should not be relied upon as indicativeindications of actual results. To the extent market conditions and other factors vary from the assumptions used in the simulation analysis, actual results may differ materially from the simulation results. Furthermore, NII sensitivity analysis measures the change in ASB’s twelve-month, pretax NII in alternate interest rate scenarios, and is intended to help management identify potential exposures in ASB’s current balance sheet and formulate appropriate strategies for managing interest rate risk. The simulation does not contemplate any actions that ASB management might undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Further, the changes in NII vary in the twelve-month simulation period and are not necessarily evenly distributed over the period. These analyses are for analytical purposes only and do not represent management’s views of future market movements, the level of future earnings or the timing of any changes in earnings within the twelve month analysis horizon. The actual impact of changes in interest rates on NII will depend on the magnitude and speed with which rates change, actual changes in ASB’s balance sheet and management’s responses to the changes in interest rates.
