AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 EARNINGS

Net Income of $15.1 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 $15.1 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $13.3 million in the second (or linked) quarter of 2016 and $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2015.
“American delivered strong deposit growth, good net interest margins and bottom line earnings improvement during the quarter,” said Rich Wacker, president and chief executive officer of American. “Average loans outstanding were flat to the prior quarter as we sold more of our new residential loan production and lowered our exposure to national credits as our Hawaii commercial real estate fundings grew. Our provision for loan loss reserves remained above our initial expectations, driven by faster growth in our commercial real estate and consumer portfolios as well as reserves for specific commercial credits.”
Third quarter 2016 net income was $1.8 million higher than the linked quarter primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher revenues due to higher noninterest income and net interest income, partially offset by higher provision for loan losses.
Compared to the third quarter of 2015, net income improved by $1.7 million primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher net interest income due to growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios. Higher net interest income was partially offset by higher provision for loan losses.
Net interest income (pretax) was $51.9 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $51.0 million in the linked quarter of 2016 and $47.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase compared to the linked and prior year quarter was primarily attributable to growth and higher yields in the commercial real estate and

consumer loan portfolios. Net interest margin was 3.57% compared to 3.58% in the linked quarter and 3.53% in the third quarter of 2015.
Provision for loan losses (pretax) was $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $4.8 million in the linked quarter of 2016 and $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in provision compared to the linked and prior year quarter was largely due to reserves for specific commercial credits. The net charge-off ratio was 0.20% compared to 0.15% in the linked quarter and 0.10% in the prior year quarter.
Noninterest income (pretax) was $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $16.6 million in the linked quarter and $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. The $1.9 million higher noninterest income compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain on sale of real estate and $0.8 million higher mortgage banking income in the third quarter of 2016.
Noninterest expense (pretax) was $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $42.6 million in the linked quarter and $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. The lower noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the linked quarter was mainly due to $1.2 million of nonrecurring cost related to the replacement and upgrade of the electronic banking platform that was launched last quarter.
Total loans were $4.7 billion at September 30, 2016, essentially flat to the linked quarter and increased $118 million year-to-date 2016. Year-to-date annualized loan growth was 3.4%, on track for American’s target of mid-single digit loan growth for the full year.
Total deposits were $5.4 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $149 million and $355 million in the third quarter and year-to-date 2016, respectively. Year-to-date annualized deposit growth of 9.4% was primarily driven by the $190 million (5.6% year-to-date annualized) increase in low-cost core deposits. Average cost of funds remained low at 0.24% for the third quarter of 2016, 1 basis point higher than the linked quarter and 2 basis points higher than the prior year quarter.
American’s return on average equity was 10.4% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 9.2% in the linked quarter and 9.7% in the third quarter of 2015. Return on average assets was 0.97% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 0.86% in the linked quarter and 0.92% in the same quarter last year. American’s solid results enabled it to pay dividends of $9.0 million to HEI in the quarter while maintaining healthy capital levels - leverage ratio of 8.6% and total capital ratio of 13.3% at September 30, 2016.
