HEI REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
3Q 2020 Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)1 of $0.59
Utility Focused on Affordability and Clean Energy Progress
Bank Results Reflect Economic Dynamics and Improved Noninterest Income from Core Activities
HONOLULU - Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the third quarter of 2020 of $65.0 million and EPS of $0.59 compared to $63.4 million and EPS of $0.58 for the third quarter of 2019.
“I have been deeply impressed by the dedication of our employees and by the resilience of our customers and communities as we all adapt to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19,” said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and CEO. “Our financial stability has enabled us to help our customers, our economy and our communities during this unprecedented time, and to continue to deliver solid financial results.
“Keeping customer rates down has been a central focus for our utility. Last month the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission approved our settlement with the Consumer Advocate to not increase base rates in our Oahu rate case. Our utility continues to implement efficiency improvements to deliver on its customer savings commitments, even as it continues to press forward aggressively on our clean energy goals.
“The reopening of Hawaii’s tourism sector with pre-arrival testing is a positive step for Hawaii’s economy. Even so, the timing of a sustained reopening remains uncertain and our bank’s third quarter results again reflect elevated provision for potential credit losses. While low interest rates continue to compress net interest margin, in the third quarter we were able to reduce expenses and improve noninterest income from core activities, including strong mortgage banking income from our residential lending activity, replacing most of the prior quarter’s gains on sales of securities,” said Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS
Hawaiian Electric Company’s (Hawaiian Electric) net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $60.1 million, compared to $46.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by the following after-tax items:
•$10 million lower operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to fewer generating unit overhauls, lower labor cost due to lower staffing levels and reduced overtime and elevated vegetation management work in the third quarter of 2019. The lower generation overhauls represented approximately $5 million of the $10 million total O&M variance; of that $5 million, $2 million was due to an elevated number of overhauls in the third quarter of 2019 and the remaining $3 million was timing related, as some overhaul work will be performed later in 4Q 2020 or in 2021;
•$5 million revenue increase from higher rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues; and
•$1 million increase for recovery of the West Loch PV project and Grid Modernization projects under the major project interim recovery (MPIR) mechanism.
These items were partially offset by the following after-tax items:
•$1 million lower allowance for funds used during construction as there were fewer long duration projects in construction work in progress;
•$1 million higher cost savings from enterprise resource planning system implementation to be returned to customers; and
•$1 million higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency.
AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK EARNINGS
American Savings Bank’s (American) third quarter 2020 net income was $12.2 million compared to $14.0 million in the second, or linked quarter of 2020, and $22.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease in net income compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to higher second quarter gains on sales of securities of $9.3 million. This was partially offset by improved noninterest income, including higher loan sales from increased mortgage banking originations, as well as by lower noninterest expense. The lower net income compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily reflects lower asset yields within the loan and investment portfolios due to the lower interest rate environment and higher provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020, which included approximately $12.3 million in additional reserves related to economic impacts from the pandemic.

Note: Amounts indicated as after-tax in this earnings release are based upon adjusting items using the current year composite statutory tax rates of 25.75% for the utilities and 26.79% for the bank.

Total loans were $5.5 billion as of September 30, 2020, up 7.3%2 from December 31, 2019, driven mainly by the addition of $370 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as increases in the commercial real estate and residential loan portfolios, offset by reductions in the home equity line of credit and consumer loan portfolios.
Total deposits were $7.0 billion as of September 30, 2020, an increase of 12.2%3 from December 31, 2019. The average cost of funds was 0.13% for the quarter, down five basis points versus the linked quarter and down 17 basis points versus the prior year quarter.
Overall, American’s return on average equity4 for the third quarter of 2020 was 6.75%, compared to 8.00% in the linked quarter and 13.75% in the third quarter of 2019. Return on average assets was 0.61% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 0.72% in the linked quarter and 1.29% in the same quarter last year.
In the third quarter of 2020, American retained capital and did not pay a dividend to HEI. American had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.3% at September 30, 2020.
Please refer to American’s news release issued on October 30, 2020 for additional information on American.
HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies’ net loss was $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $6.2 million in the prior year quarter. The greater net loss was primarily due to lower income at Pacific Current reflecting lower energy sales and higher corporate interest expense from higher short-term borrowing.
BOARD MAINTAINS QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On November 4, 2020, HEI announced that the Board of Directors maintained HEI’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share payable on December 10, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2020 (ex-dividend date is November 19, 2020). This quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.32 per share. Dividends have been paid on an uninterrupted basis since 1901. At the indicated annual dividend rate and based on the closing price per share on November 5, 2020 of $33.05, HEI’s dividend yield is 4.0%.
