HONOLULU - Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported 2017
year-end consolidated net income for common stock of $165.3 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.52 compared to $248.3 million and EPS of $2.29 for 2016. For the fourth quarter of 2017, consolidated net income for common stock was $32.4 million and EPS of $0.30 compared to $44.6 million and EPS of $0.41 for the fourth quarter of 2016. The financial results for 2017 include $14.2 million for the reduction of the unregulated net deferred tax asset balances for the consolidated enterprise to reflect the lower rates enacted by federal tax reform and other tax reform related items, including the $1,000 cash bonuses paid to American Savings Bank employees, excluding the senior management team. The financial results for 2016 include the increase to net income of $58.2 million due to the terminated merger with NextEra Energy, Inc., net of the impacts of the related terminated liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract and the associated cancelled spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc. Excluding the above mentioned items, core earnings for 2017 were $179.5 million and core EPS of $1.65 compared to $190.1 million and $1.75, respectively, for 2016.
The financial results for the fourth quarter of 2017 include the impacts of federal tax reform and related items previously referenced. Excluding these items, core earnings1 for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $46.5 million and core EPS of $0.43 compared to $44.6 million and EPS of $0.41 for the fourth quarter of 2016.

“Hawaii’s economy had a very strong year in 2017 and the HEI companies were proud to provide essential energy and financial services to our communities and to deliver a consolidated core return on equity of 8.6%,” said Constance H. Lau, president and CEO of HEI.
“To help meet our electric company’s mission to provide clean, reliable and resilient electric energy safely to our customers and to stay ahead of the needs of Hawaii’s economic and real property development, we invested over $400 million (more than three times the utility’s earnings) to modernize and strengthen the electric systems and grid on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Molokai and Lanai. Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries have supported Hawaii’s economic development while helping our state toward its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045. Hawaiian Electric continues to lead the nation in the efficient integration of renewable resources, which have nearly doubled on our islands in five years.”
“American Savings Bank closed 2017 with a strong fourth quarter, and we are excited about the construction of its new campus in Honolulu. The bank is well positioned to continue to grow in 2018, as it works continually to deliver value to its customers and shareholders,” said Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY
Full Year Results:
Hawaiian Electric Company’s4 full-year 2017 net income was $120.0 million compared to $142.3 million in 2016. Excluding the impact of federal tax reform in 2017 of $9.2 million in tax expense due primarily to the reduction of the unregulated net deferred tax asset balances, and 2016 after-tax costs related to the terminated merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the related terminated LNG contract totaling $2.1 million, Hawaiian Electric Company’s core net income was $129.1 million in 2017 and $144.5 million in 2016. The $15.4 million core net income decrease from the prior year was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

Note: Amounts indicated as “after-tax” in this earnings release are based upon adjusting items for the composite statutory tax rates of 39% for the utilities and 40% for the bank.

$5 million lower net revenues5 primarily due to the expiration of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission-approved 2013 settlement agreement with the Consumer Advocate that had allowed Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. to record annual rate adjustment mechanism revenues commencing January 16 instead of June 1, partially offset by the recovery of costs for clean energy, reliability and system efficiency investments and Hawaii Electric Light’s 2016 test year interim rate relief effective August 31, 2017; and
$11 million higher O&M expenses7 compared to 2016, primarily due to higher overhaul and maintenance expenses, enterprise resource planning (ERP) costs, partial write-off of deferred geothermal RFP costs, grid modernization consultant costs and additional reserves for environmental costs, partially offset by higher power supply improvement consultant costs in 2016; and
$3 million higher depreciation expense as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency; partially offset by
$5 million higher allowance for funds used during construction.
Fourth Quarter Results:
Fourth quarter 2017 net income of $25.4 million was $8.8 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily driven by the $9.2 million higher tax expense due to federal tax reform. $2 million (after-tax) higher net revenues in 2017 primarily attributable to the recovery of costs for clean energy, reliability and system efficiency investments and Hawaii Electric Light’s 2016 test year interim rate relief were offset by higher other operations and maintenance expense primarily due to higher overhauls,

Net revenues represent the after-tax impact of “Revenues” less the following expenses which are largely pass through items in revenues: “fuel oil,” “purchased power” and “taxes, other than income taxes” as shown on the Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ Consolidated Statements of Income.
6 
With the expiration of the 2013 settlement agreement with the Consumer Advocate that was approved by the PUC, in 2017 the Oahu rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues revert to being recorded for accounting purposes from a calendar year recognition period to a period beginning on June 1 of each year through May 31 of the subsequent year.  The periods in which the cash reflecting RAM revenues are collected did not change as a result of the settlement agreement and have always been aligned to the June 1 to May 31 periods. Therefore, the expiration of the 2013 settlement agreement had no impact on Hawaiian Electric Company cash collections.
7 
Excludes net income neutral expenses covered by surcharges or by third parties and merger-related costs including the terminated LNG contract costs. See the “Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP measures” and the related reconciliation.

ERP and grid modernization costs in the fourth quarter of 2017. Higher depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency was offset by higher allowance for funds used during construction.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK
Full Year Results:
American Savings Bank’s (American) full-year 2017 net income was $67.0 million compared to $57.3 million in 2016. The $9.7 million increase from the prior year was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:
$11 million higher net interest income driven primarily by strong deposit growth that funded earning asset growth in the investment and retail loan portfolios;
$4 million lower provision for loan losses reflects the strategic decision to improve American’s credit risk profile through the reduction in the syndicated national credit portfolio and resolution of specific problem loans, partially offset by reserves required for growth in the retail loan portfolio; and
$1 million net positive impact of federal tax reform, including $1,000 cash bonuses to employees.
These items were partially offset by the following on an after-tax basis:
$3 million higher noninterest expense primarily due to higher performance-based incentive costs, excluding $1,000 cash bonuses related to federal tax reform; and
$3 million lower noninterest income primarily due to lower mortgage banking income.
Total loans were $4.7 billion at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $72 million or 1.5% decline from December 31, 2016. This decrease reflects our work to improve American’s credit risk profile through the strategic reduction in our exposure to national syndicated credits by $75 million as well as the resolution of specific problem loans.






Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.
February 14, 2018
Page 6
    
Total deposits were $5.9 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of $342 million or 6.2% from December 31, 2016. The average cost of funds was 0.21% for the full year 2017, down 2 basis points from the prior year.
Overall, American’s return on average equity8 for the full year remained solid at 11.20% in 2017 compared to 9.90% in 2016, and the return on average assets for the full year was 1.02% in 2017 compared to 0.92% in 2016.

Fourth Quarter Results:
Fourth quarter of 2017 net income of $16.9 million was $0.7 million lower than the third, or linked quarter and $0.6 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2016.
Compared to the linked quarter of 2017, the $0.7 million net income decrease in the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher provision for loan losses principally related to the release of reserves in the linked quarter attributed to our strategic reduction of our syndicated national credit loan portfolio and the resolution of specific problem loans; partially offset by the $1 million (after-tax) favorable net impact of federal tax reform and related changes discussed above.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2016, the $0.6 million higher net income in the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher net interest income mainly due to higher yields and growth in earning assets and the $1 million impact of the federal tax reform related changes discussed above. These items were partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) higher provision for loan losses, $1 million (after-tax) lower noninterest income primarily due to lower mortgage banking income and $1 million (after-tax) higher noninterest expense.
American’s fourth quarter of 2017 return on average equity8 was 11.09%, compared to 11.64% in the linked quarter and 11.09% in the fourth quarter of 2016. Return on average assets was 1.01% for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to 1.07% in the linked quarter and 1.02% in the same quarter last year.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies’ net loss was $21.7 million in 2017 compared to net income of $48.7 million in 2016. Excluding tax reform related tax expense of $6.0 million in 2017 and merger-related net income of $60.3 million in 2016, the holding and other companies’ adjusted net loss was $15.7 million and $11.7 million in 2017 and 2016, 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 $9.8 million in 2017 compared to $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding tax reform related tax expense of $6.0 million in 2017, the holding and other companies’ net losses in 2017 and 2016 were $3.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The higher 2016 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 1, 2018, the board of directors maintained HEI’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 cents per share, payable on March 13, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2018 (ex-dividend date is February 21, 2018). The dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.24 per share.
Dividends have been paid uninterrupted since 1901. At the indicated annual dividend rate and the closing price per share on February 13, 2018 of $32.76, HEI’s dividend yield is 3.8%.

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 given the non-recurring nature of certain items. 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 include income, costs and associated taxes related to the terminated merger between HEI and NextEra Energy, Inc., the cancelled spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc., and the termination of the 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. In addition, the reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to core earnings also exclude the impact of the federal tax reform act due to the adjustment of the deferred tax balances and the $1,000 employee bonuses paid by the bank related to federal tax reform. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings. Management has shown adjusted non-GAAP (core) net income, adjusted non-GAAP (core) diluted earnings per common share and adjusted non-GAAP (core) ROACE in order to provide better comparability of core net income, EPS and ROACE between periods.
The accompanying table also provides the calculation of utility GAAP other operation and maintenance (O&M) expense 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.
