AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016 EARNINGS

Net Income of $13.3 Million
American Continues to Deliver Solid Results

HONOLULU - American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (American), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) (NYSE - HE), today reported net income of $13.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $12.7 million in the first (or linked) quarter of 2016 and $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2015.
“American delivered strong deposit and loan growth this quarter, driving higher net interest income and bottom line improvement,” said Rich Wacker, president and chief executive officer of American. “We also launched our new eBanking platform, providing improved account access and eServices for our consumer and business customers from their desktop, tablet or mobile devices, as well as lower ongoing costs for the bank.”
Second quarter 2016 net income was $0.6 million higher than the linked quarter primarily driven by $1 million (after-tax) higher revenues due to higher noninterest income which included gains on sale of securities and higher mortgage banking income and higher net interest income primarily due to growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios. Higher revenues were partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) higher noninterest expense due primarily to costs related to the replacement and upgrade of the electronic banking platform.
Compared to the second quarter of 2015, net income improved by $0.4 million primarily driven by $3 million (after-tax) higher net interest income due to growth in the commercial real estate, consumer loan and investment portfolios and higher yields on interest-earning assets. This was offset by the following on an after-tax basis:
$2 million higher provision for loan losses mainly driven by commercial real estate and consumer loan growth and downgrades of specific commercial credits in the second quarter of 2016; and

$1 million higher noninterest expense primarily due to costs related to the replacement and upgrade of the electronic banking platform.
Net interest income (pretax) was $51.0 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $50.4 million in the linked quarter of 2016 and $46.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to growth in the commercial real estate loan, the consumer loan and the investment securities portfolios and to higher yields on interest-earning assets. Net interest margin was 3.58% compared to 3.62% in the linked quarter and 3.52% in the second quarter of 2015.
Provision for loan losses (pretax) was $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, flat compared to the $4.8 million in the linked quarter of 2016 and higher than the $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in provision compared to the prior year quarter was mainly due to commercial real estate and consumer loan growth and specific downgrades to commercial credits in the second quarter of 2016. The net charge-off ratio was 0.15% compared to 0.21% in the linked quarter and 0.11% in the prior year quarter. Credit quality remains within acceptable limits and the increasing loan loss reserves reflect growth in commercial real estate and consumer loans which require higher reserve levels.
Noninterest income (pretax) was $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $15.4 million in the linked quarter and $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. The $1.2 million higher noninterest income compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to the gain on sale of investment securities and slightly higher mortgage banking income in the second quarter of 2016.
Noninterest expense (pretax) was $42.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $41.4 million in the linked quarter and $41.5 million in the second quarter of 2015. The higher noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2016 was impacted by $1.2 million due to costs related to the replacement and upgrade of the electronic banking platform.
Total loans were $4.8 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $112 million and $138 million in the second quarter and year-to-date 2016, respectively. Year-to-date annualized loan growth was 6.0%, in line with American’s target of mid-single digit loan growth for the full year.
Total deposits were $5.2 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $92 million and $207 million in the second quarter and year-to-date 2016, respectively. Year-to-date annualized deposit growth of 8.2% was primarily driven by the $126 million (5.6% year-to-date annualized) increase in low-cost core deposits. Average cost of funds remained low at 0.23% for the second quarter of 2016, unchanged from the linked quarter and 1 basis point higher than the prior year quarter.
American’s return on average equity was 9.2% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 8.9% in the linked quarter and 9.4% in the second quarter of 2015. Return on average assets was 0.86% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 0.84% in the linked quarter and 0.89% in the same quarter last year. American’s solid
