NEWS RELEASE

CENTRAL PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORP. REVISES ITS PREVIOUSLY

ANNOUNCED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

Fourth Quarter Net Income Expected To Be Revised Up To $10.3 Million

HONOLULU, HI, February 6, 2014 – Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the “Bank”), revised its previously announced results of operations because it has determined that certain third party market data applied in the calculation of its allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) was not updated based on recently available data. As a result of this error, its fourth quarter 2013 net income is expected to be $10.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $9.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, previously announced on January 30, 2014.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 is expected to increase to $172.1 million, or $4.07 per diluted share.

The Company issued the revision upon further review of the calculation of its ALLL.  The failure to update certain third party market data applied in the methodology to reflect the most recently available data resulted in the previously reported provision for loan and lease losses of $0.8 million. Applying the updated third party market data, the provision for loan and lease losses is expected to improve to a credit of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Management is assessing the implications of the identified error on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  In addition to completing the final items for the year end audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company’s auditor, KPMG LLP, is conducting a further review of the ALLL.  The Company anticipates that KPMG’s review will be completed by the end of February 2014.  There can be no assurance that such review will not result in further revisions to the announced results of operations for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

Revised financial highlights are included in this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain references to financial measures that have been adjusted to exclude certain expenses and other specified items.  These financial measures differ from comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in that they exclude unusual or non-recurring charges, losses, credits or gains.  This press release identifies the specific items excluded from the comparable GAAP financial measure in the calculation of each non-GAAP financial measure.    Management believes that financial presentations excluding the impact of these items provide useful supplemental information that is important to a proper understanding of the Company’s core business results by investors.  These presentations should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

(1)	Annualized
(2)	The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Our efficiency ratio is derived by dividing other operating expense (excluding amortization, impairment and write-down of intangible assets, goodwill, loans held for sale and foreclosed assets, loss on early extinguishment of debt, loss on investment transaction and loss on sale of commercial real estate loans) by net operating revenue (net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis plus other operating income before securities transactions and gains on sale of foreclosed assets). See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
(3)	The tangible common equity ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Comparison of our tangible common equity ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the tangible common equity ratio differently. Our tangible common equity ratio is derived by dividing common shareholders' equity, less intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)) by total assets, less intangible assets (excluding MSRs).
