American Savings Bank Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

2Q 2023 Net Income of $20.2 million

Credit Quality Remains Solid

Strong Capital Position with Ample Liquidity

American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE), today reported second quarter 2023 net income of $20.2 million, compared to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2022.

“Our team delivered solid results in the second quarter, growing net income to $20.2 million,” said Ann Teranishi, president and chief executive officer of ASB. “Credit quality remains strong, indicative of the continued strength and resilience of Hawaii’s economy, consumers, and businesses. ASB’s capital position remains healthy, with liquidity of approximately three times uninsured or uncollateralized deposits. Our loyal and long-tenured deposit base demonstrates the value of our customer relationships,” said Teranishi.

Financial Highlights

Second quarter 2023 net interest income was $63.2 million compared to $64.9 million in the first, or linked quarter of 2023 and $61.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. The lower net interest income compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to higher interest expense from increased wholesale borrowings and certificates of deposit, and lower interest and dividends on investment securities, partially offset by higher interest and fees on loans. The higher net interest income compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher interest and fees on loans, partially offset by higher interest expense. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.75%, compared to 2.85% in both the linked and prior year quarters.

The second quarter 2023 provision for credit losses was $0.04 million, compared to $1.2 million in the linked quarter and $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. As of June 30, 2023, ASB’s allowance for credit losses to outstanding loans was 1.13% compared to 1.18% as of March 31, 2023 and 1.28% as of June 30, 2022.

The net charge-off ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 0.14%, unchanged from the linked quarter and up from nil in the second quarter of 2022. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans receivable held for investment were 0.22%, compared to 0.24% in the linked quarter and 0.40% in the prior year quarter.

Noninterest income was $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $14.4 million in the linked quarter and $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase compared to the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to higher bank-owned life insurance income, a gain on sale of real estate and higher fees from other financial services.

Noninterest expense was $53.8 million compared to $54.4 million in the linked quarter and $49.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to lower deposit account expenses and lower compensation and benefits expenses. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expenses and F.D.I.C. premiums.

Total loans were $6.1 billion as of June 30, 2023, up 2.7% from December 31, 2022, reflecting growth across most of the portfolio.

Total deposits were $8.2 billion as of June 30, 2023, a decrease of 0.08% from December 31, 2022. Core deposits declined 2.8%, while certificates of deposits increased 33.3%. As of June 30, 2023, 86% of deposits were F.D.I.C. insured or fully collateralized, up slightly from 85% as of March 31, 2023, with approximately 79% of deposits F.D.I.C. insured. For the second quarter of 2023, the average cost of funds was 0.83%, up 17 basis points versus the linked quarter and up 78 basis points versus the prior year quarter.

Wholesale funding totaled $750 million as of June 30, 2023, up from $681 million as of March 31, 2023.

For the second quarter of 2023, return on average equity was 16.2%, compared to 15.5% in the linked quarter and 12.2% in the second quarter of 2022. Return on average assets was 0.84% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 0.78% in the linked quarter and 0.76% in the prior year quarter.

In the second quarter of 2023, ASB paid dividends of $11.0 million to HEI. ASB had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.8% as of June 30, 2023.
