equity1 of 9.5% for 2016. HEI’s unique combination of companies continues to provide essential electricity and banking services for Hawaii and invest in the growth of Hawaii’s economy,” said Constance Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer.
“In 2016, Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries invested $318 million, over twice the utility’s earnings, in the modernization and improvement of Hawaii’s electric grids, and we achieved an energy portfolio powered by 25% renewable resources3 in 2016. While advancing towards our 100% goal for 2045, we remained focused on increasing customer value. In 2016, Hawaiian Electric management worked hard to reduce overall operation and maintenance expenses from 2015 levels. Our activities at the utility are focused on creating, at reasonable cost and working with third party energy developers and producers, the renewable energy platform of the future for the benefit of all of Hawaii, while also maintaining the service and reliability that our customers have come to expect,” added Lau.
“American Savings Bank closed 2016 with a strong fourth quarter and achieved important strategic objectives including the successful implementation of their new e-banking platform. We plan to build upon the bank’s success in the coming years with the building of its new headquarters. The bank is well positioned to continue to grow in 2017, as it works continually to improve efficiency and customer experience,” said Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS CONSISTENT WITH EXPECTATIONS
Full Year Results:
Hawaiian Electric Company’s6 full-year 2016 net income was $142.3 million compared to $135.7 million in 2015. Excluding after-tax costs related to the terminated merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the related terminated LNG contract totaling $2.2 million and $0.5 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, Hawaiian Electric Company’s core net income was $144.5 million in 2016 and $136.2 million in 2015. The $8.3 million core net income increase from the prior year was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

$8 million higher net revenues7 primarily due to recovery of costs for clean energy, reliability and system efficiency investments; and
$6 million lower O&M expenses5 compared to 2015 which included a regulatory decision denying recovery of enterprise resource planning software costs and additional reserves for environmental costs.
These items were partially offset by $6 million higher depreciation expense as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency.
Fourth Quarter Results:
Fourth quarter 2016 net income of $34.1 million was $1.1 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher net revenues in 2016 attributable to the recovery of costs for clean energy, reliability and system efficiency investments partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) higher depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK: SOLID FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Full Year Results:
American Savings Bank’s (American) full-year 2016 net income was $57.3 million compared to $54.7 million in 2015. The $2.5 million increase from the prior year was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:
$11 million higher net interest income driven mainly by commercial real estate and consumer loan and investment portfolio growth; partially offset by

$6 million higher provision for loan losses largely related to commercial real estate and consumer lending activities; and
$2 million higher noninterest expense primarily due to costs related to the conversion and upgrade of American’s e-banking platform.
American achieved loan growth of 2.6% in 2016 primarily driven by commercial real estate and consumer loans that also helped to improve net interest margin. At the same time, American strategically reduced exposure to shared national credits by $93 million or 2.0% of total loans.
Total deposits were $5.5 billion at December 31, 2016, an increase of $524 million or 10.4% from December 31, 2015. Core deposits increased $342 million or 7.5% from December 31, 2015. The average cost of funds was 0.23% for the full year 2016, up 1 basis point from the prior year.
Overall, American’s return on average equity for the full year remained solid at 9.90% in 2016 compared to 9.93% in 2015, and the return on average assets for the full year was 0.92% in 2016 compared to 0.95% in 2015.

Fourth Quarter Results:
Fourth quarter 2016 net income of $16.2 million was $1.1 million higher than the third, or linked quarter and $1.3 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2015.
Compared to the linked quarter of 2016, the $1.1 million increase in the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:
$3 million lower provision for loan losses primarily due to reserves for specific commercial credits in the third quarter of 2016; and
$1 million higher net interest income driven mainly by higher yields in the commercial real estate and commercial markets loan portfolios and investment portfolio growth.
These increases were partially offset by the following on an after-tax basis:
$1 million lower noninterest income primarily due to the gain on sale of real estate and higher mortgage banking income in the third quarter of 2016; and
$1 million higher noninterest expense.




Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, the $1.3 million higher net income in the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by $3 million (after-tax) higher net interest income mainly due to higher yields and growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios, partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) higher noninterest expense.
American’s fourth quarter of 2016 return on average equity was 11.1%, up from 10.4% in the linked quarter and 10.7% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Return on average assets was 1.02% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 0.97% from the linked quarter and 1.01% in the same quarter last year.
Please refer to American’s news release issued on January 30, 2017, for additional information on American.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies’ net income was $48.7 million in 2016 compared to a net loss of $30.6 million in 2015. Excluding one-time merger-related items of $60.3 million net income in 2016 and $15.2 million net expenses in 2015, the holding and other companies’ adjusted net losses in 2016 and 2015 were $11.7 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The holding company’s adjusted 2016 results included favorable tax adjustments as HEI moved out of a federal net operating loss position, enabling the recognition of tax benefits of approximately $4 million.
Fourth quarter net losses were $5.7 million in 2016 compared to $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding after-tax costs related to the terminated merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the cancelled spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc. of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, the holding and other companies’ net losses in 2016 and 2015 were $5.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The higher net loss was primarily driven by an adjustment to tax benefits of approximately $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On February 13, 2017, the board of directors maintained HEI’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 cents per share, payable on March 10, 2017, to shareholders of record at the close of business on

EXPLANATION OF HEI’S USE OF CERTAIN UNAUDITED NON-GAAP MEASURES
HEI and Hawaiian Electric Company management use certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI and the utility. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies’ core operating activities. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP1 earnings to non-GAAP core earnings and the adjusted return on average common equity (ROACE) for HEI and the utility.
The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to core earnings are limited to the fees, reimbursements, costs and associated taxes related to the terminated merger between HEI and NextEra Energy, Inc., and the cancelled spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc., and the terminated liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract which required the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission approval of the merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. For more information on the transactions, see HEI’s Form 8-K filed on July 18, 2016 and HEI’s Form 8-K filed on July 19, 2016. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
The accompanying table also provides the calculation of utility GAAP O&M adjusted for costs related to the terminated merger discussed above. “O&M-related net income neutral items” which are O&M expenses covered by specific surcharges or by third parties have also been excluded. These “O&M-related net income neutral items” are grossed-up in revenue and expense and do not impact net income.
