PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This document may contain forward-looking statements concerning: projections of revenues, income/loss, earnings/loss per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure, net interest margin or other financial items, plans and objectives of management for future operations, future economic performance, or any of the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and may include the words "believes," "plans," "intends," "expects," "anticipates," "forecasts," "hopes," "should," "estimates" or words of similar meaning. While we believe that our forward-looking statements and the assumptions underlying them are reasonably based, such statements and assumptions are by their nature subject to risks and uncertainties, and thus could later prove to be inaccurate or incorrect. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from projections for a variety of reasons, to include, but not be limited to: adverse changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and, as a result, increased loan delinquency rates, deterioration in asset quality, and losses in our loan portfolio; the impact of local, national, and international economies and events (including natural disasters such as volcanoes, wildfires, tsunamis, storms and earthquakes) on the Company's business and operations and on tourism, the military, and other major industries operating within the Hawaii market and any other markets in which the Company does business; deterioration or malaise in domestic economic conditions, including any destabilization in the financial industry and deterioration of the real estate market, as well as the impact of declining levels of consumer and business confidence in the state of the economy in general and in financial institutions in particular; changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, changes in capital standards, other regulatory reform, including but not limited to regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, government-sponsored enterprise reform, and any related rules and regulations on our business operations and competitiveness; the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, the results of regulatory examinations or reviews and the effect of, and our ability to comply with, any regulatory orders or actions we are or may become subject to; ability to successfully implement our initiatives to lower our efficiency ratio; the ability to address any material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures; the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, securities market and monetary fluctuations; negative trends in our market capitalization and adverse changes in the price of the Company's common stock; political instability; acts of war or terrorism; changes in consumer spending, borrowings and savings habits; failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures; technological changes; changes in the competitive environment among financial holding companies and other financial service providers; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; and our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items. For further information on factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from projections, please see the Company's publicly available Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Company's Form 10-K for the last fiscal year and, in particular, the discussion of "Risk Factors" set forth therein. The Company does not update any of its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

CENTRAL PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Central Pacific Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries (herein referred to as the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and include all normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In December 2015, we acquired a 50% ownership interest in a mortgage loan origination and brokerage company, One Hawaii HomeLoans, LLC. The bank concluded that the investment meets the consolidation requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation." The bank concluded that the entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity and that we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Accordingly, the investment was consolidated into our financial statements. One Hawaii HomeLoans, LLC was terminated in 2017, and final payment of taxes and distributions to members were made in March 2018.

We have 50% ownership interests in three other mortgage loan origination and brokerage companies which are accounted for using the equity method and are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries: Gentry HomeLoans, LLC, Haseko HomeLoans, LLC and Island Pacific HomeLoans, LLC. We also had 50% ownership interest in one additional mortgage loan origination and brokerage company, Pacific Access Mortgage, LLC, which was also accounted for using the equity method and was included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries. Pacific Access Mortgage, LLC was terminated in 2017, and final payment of taxes and distributions to members were made in March 2018.

We also have non-controlling equity investments in affiliates that are accounted for under the cost method and are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity and cost methods were $0.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2018 and $0.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017. Our policy for determining impairment of these investments includes an evaluation of whether a loss in value of an investment is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value includes absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. We perform impairment tests whenever indicators of impairment are present. If the value of an investment declines and it is considered other than temporary, the investment is written down to its respective fair value in the period in which this determination is made.

The Company sponsors the Central Pacific Bank Foundation, which is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements.

Reclassifications

The Company's equity investment securities in the prior year have been reclassified from available-for-sale debt securities to conform to the current year's presentation in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, "Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities." The reclassification had no impact on the Company's reported net income or shareholders' equity.

2.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2018

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2017. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date" which deferred the effective date by one year. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The FASB has also issued additional updates to provide further clarification to specific implementation issues associated with ASU 2014-09. These updates include ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations," ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," and ASU 2016-20 "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606." Our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is our main source of income, and other operating income. The scope of ASU 2014-09 explicitly excludes net interest income, as well as other revenues associated with financial assets and liabilities, including loans, leases, securities and derivatives. With respect to other operating income, the Company conducted a comprehensive scoping exercise to determine the revenue streams that are in scope of the guidance. This included reviewing the contracts potentially impacted by the standard in revenue streams such as deposit-related fees, merchant fees, bank card fees, interchange fees, commissions income, trust and asset management fees, foreign exchange fees, and loan placement fees. We adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent amendments to the standard beginning January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach. Based on our analysis, the standard required us to change how we recognize certain recurring revenue streams on a gross versus net basis. This resulted in an increase in other service charges and fees totaling $0.2 million and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and the resultant increase in other operating expense-other for the same amount. These changes did not have an impact to our net income; as such a cumulative effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 while prior period amounts continue to be recorded in accordance with legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 12 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion on the Company's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to GAAP as follows: 1) required equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, 2) simplified the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, 3) eliminated the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities, 4) eliminated the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, 5) required public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, 6) required an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, 7) required separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and 8) clarified that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 beginning January 1, 2018, which resulted in a reclassification of the Company's equity investment securities portfolio of $0.8 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, from available-for-sale debt securities to equity securities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income. In addition, during the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment which increased opening retained earnings (or reduced opening accumulated deficit) and decreased accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") by $0.1 million related to the unrealized gains on the equity investment securities portfolio and changes in the fair value of the equity investment securities portfolio were recognized in net income. The Company also engaged a third-party consultant, who used a refined calculation to determine the fair value of our loans held for investment portfolio using the exit price notion, which is included in our fair value disclosures in Note 18 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The refined calculation did not have a material impact on our fair value disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provided guidance on eight statement of cash flow classification issues and was intended to reduce the current and future diversity in practice described in the amendments. Current GAAP is either unclear or does not include specific guidance on the eight statement of cash flow classification issues included in ASU 2016-15. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 did not impact the Company's financial statements as our current practice was consistent with the update.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires an entity to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same line item or items in the statement of income as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. In addition, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. The other components of net benefit costs should be presented in the statement of income separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item is used to present the other components, that line item shall be described appropriately. The line items used in the income statement to present the components other than the service cost component shall be disclosed if a Company elects to not present them in a separate line item. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The Company adopted ASU 2017-08 effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in ASU 2017-08 did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification." ASU 2017-09 was issued to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Diversity in practice has arisen in part because some entities apply modification accounting under Topic 718 for modifications to terms and conditions that they consider substantive, but do not when they conclude that particular modifications are not substantive. Others apply modification accounting for any change to an award, except for changes that they consider purely administrative in nature. Still others apply modification accounting when a change to an award changes the fair value, the vesting, or the classification of the award. In practice, it appears that the evaluation of a change in fair value, vesting, or classification may be used to evaluate whether a change is substantive. ASU 2017-09 includes guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 did not impact the Company's financial statements as the Company has not historically had any scope modifications and has no plans to do so in the near future.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2018-02 was issued to address certain stranded tax effects in AOCI as a result of H.R.1., commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"). ASU 2018-02 provides companies the option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings (or accumulated deficit) in each period in which the effect of the change from the newly enacted corporate tax rate is recorded. The amount of the reclassification is calculated on the basis of the difference between the historical and newly enacted tax rates for deferred tax assets and liabilities related to items within AOCI. ASU 2018-02 requires companies to disclose its accounting policy related to releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income, whether it has elected to reclassify the stranded tax effects, and information about the other income tax effects that are reclassified. Although ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2019, the Company elected to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company recorded cumulative effect adjustments which increased opening retained earnings (or reduced opening accumulated deficit) and decreased AOCI for the stranded tax effects related to the Company's defined benefit pension and supplemental retirement plan obligations and the unrealized loss on the Company's investment securities portfolio by $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Impact of Other Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements on Future Filings

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term of longer than 12 months. The ASU is effective

11

 

for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 and must be applied using the modified retrospective approach. Based on preliminary evaluation, the ASU will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as the projected minimum lease payments under existing leases subject to the ASU are less than one percent of our total assets as of June 30, 2018.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s “incurred loss” guidance delays the recognition of credit losses on loans, leases, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees, providing for a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. CECL requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, this guidance modifies the accounting treatment for other-than-temporary impairment for available-for-sale debt securities. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation methods are appropriate for their circumstances. This guidance requires entities to record a cumulative effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. As such, the Company will implement CECL for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2020. The new guidance will require significant operational changes, particularly in data collection and analysis.

The Company has formed a steering committee that is responsible for oversight of the Company’s implementation strategy for compliance with provisions of the new standard. The Company has also established a project management governance process to manage the implementation across affected disciplines. An external provider specializing in community bank loss driver and CECL reserving model design as well as other related consulting services has been retained, and we have begun to evaluate potential CECL modeling alternatives. The Company presently plans to generate and evaluate model scenarios under CECL in tandem with its current reserving processes for interim and annual reporting periods in 2019. While the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this new guidance, management expects the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition and quality of the Company’s loans and investment securities as well as the economic conditions as of the date of adoption. The Company also anticipates significant changes to the processes and procedures for calculating the reserve for credit losses and continues to evaluate the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We did not sell any available-for-sale securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

In the second quarter of 2017, we completed an investment portfolio repositioning strategy designed to enhance potential prospective earnings and improve net interest margin. In connection with the repositioning, we sold $97.7 million in lower-yielding available-for-sale securities, and purchased $97.4 million in higher yielding, longer duration investment securities. The
investment securities sold had a duration of 3.3 years and an average yield of 1.91%. Gross proceeds of the sale of $96.0 million were immediately reinvested back into investment securities with a duration of 4.6 years and an average yield of 2.57%. The new securities were classified in the available-for-sale portfolio. There were no gross realized gains on the sale of the investment securities. Gross realized losses on the sale of the investment securities were $1.6 million. The specific identification method was used as the basis for determining the cost of all securities sold.

We did not sell any available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Investment securities of $1.03 billion and $1.08 billion at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit and other long-term debt and short-term borrowings.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment ("OTTI")
 
Unrealized losses for all investment securities are reviewed to determine whether the losses are deemed "other-than-temporary." Investment securities are evaluated for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation to determine whether a decline in their value below amortized cost is other-than-temporary. In conducting this assessment, we evaluate a number of factors including, but not limited to:
 
The length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis;
Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area;
The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;
The payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments;
Failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments;
Any rating changes by a rating agency; and
Recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
 

16

 

The term "other-than-temporary" is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a general lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized for anticipated credit losses.
 
Because we have no intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell such securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we do not consider our investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Modifications

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2018 consisted of four Hawaii residential mortgage loans with a combined principal balance of $0.5 million.

Concessions made to the original contractual terms of these loans consisted primarily of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to deterioration in the borrowers' financial condition. The principal balances on these TDRs had matured and/or were in default at the time of restructure, and we have no commitments to lend additional funds to any of these borrowers. There were $11.3 million of TDRs still accruing interest at June 30, 2018, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent. At December 31, 2017, there were $12.6 million of TDRs still accruing interest, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent.
 
Some loans modified in a TDR may already be on nonaccrual status and partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. Thus, these loans have already been identified as impaired and have already been evaluated under the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses (the "Allowance") methodology. Loans that were not on nonaccrual status when modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. The loans modified in a TDR did not have a material effect on our provision for loan and lease losses (the "Provision") and the Allowance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The following table presents by class, information related to loans modified in a TDR during the period presented. There were no loans modified in a TDR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Credit Quality Indicators
 
The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases by credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans and leases, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
 

20

 

Special Mention. Loans and leases classified as special mention, while still adequately protected by the borrower's capital adequacy and payment capability, exhibit distinct weakening trends and/or elevated levels of exposure to external conditions. If left unchecked or uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deteriorated prospects of repayment. These exposures require management's close attention so as to avoid becoming undue or unwarranted credit exposures.
 
Substandard. Loans and leases classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
Doubtful. Loans and leases classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
 
Loss. Loans and leases classified as loss are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible.

Loans and leases not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated. The following table presents by class and credit indicator, the recorded investment in the Company's loans and leases as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Loans held for sale and other real estate assets are not included in our assessment of the Allowance.
 
Our Provision was a debit of $0.5 million and $0.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a credit of $2.3 million and $2.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

6. SECURITIZATIONS
 
In prior years, we securitized certain residential mortgage loans with a U.S. Government sponsored entity and continue to service the residential mortgage loans. The servicing assets were recorded at their respective fair values at the time of securitization.
 
All unsold mortgage-backed securities from prior securitizations were categorized as available-for-sale securities and were therefore recorded at their fair values of $1.2 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair values of these mortgage-backed securities were based on quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets. Unrealized gains of $41 thousand and $0.1 million on unsold mortgage-backed securities were recorded in AOCI at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

We perform an impairment assessment of our core deposit premium and mortgage servicing rights whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.

9. DERIVATIVES
 
We utilize various designated and undesignated derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to movements in interest rates including interest rate swaps, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale commitments. We measure all derivatives at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. In each reporting period, we record the derivative instruments in other assets or other liabilities depending on whether the derivatives are in an asset or liability position. For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, we record the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative in AOCI, net of tax, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. We immediately recognize the portion of the gain or loss in the fair value of the derivative that represents hedge ineffectiveness in current period earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value

24

 

of the derivative are included in current period earnings. At June 30, 2018, we were not party to any derivatives designated as part of a fair value or cash flow hedge.
 
Interest Rate Lock and Forward Sale Commitments
 
We enter into interest rate lock commitments on certain mortgage loans that are intended to be sold. To manage interest rate risk on interest rate lock commitments, we also enter into forward loan sale commitments. The interest rate locks and forward loan sale commitments are accounted for as undesignated derivatives and are recorded at their respective fair values in other assets or other liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. These instruments serve to reduce our exposure to movements in interest rates. At June 30, 2018, we were a party to interest rate lock and forward sale commitments on $3.7 million and $12.7 million of mortgage loans, respectively.

10. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings

The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB") and maintained a $1.62 billion line of credit as of June 30, 2018, compared to $1.50 billion at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, $1.53 billion was undrawn under this arrangement, compared to $1.47 billion at December 31, 2017. Short-term borrowings under this arrangement totaled $87.0 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $32.0 million at December 31, 2017.  There were no long-term borrowings under this arrangement at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. FHLB advances available at June 30, 2018 were secured by certain real estate loans with a carrying value of $2.18 billion in accordance with the collateral provisions of the Advances, Security and Deposit Agreement with the FHLB.
 
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our bank had additional unused borrowings available at the Federal Reserve discount window of $71.5 million and $73.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a carrying value totaling $125.8 million and $129.2 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on our line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window. The Federal Reserve does not have the right to sell or repledge these loans.
 
Subordinated Debentures

In October 2003, we created two wholly-owned statutory trusts, CPB Capital Trust II ("Trust II") and CPB Statutory Trust III ("Trust III"). Trust II issued $20.0 million in trust preferred securities bearing an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.85% and maturing on October 7, 2033. The principal assets of Trust II are $20.6 million of the Company's subordinated debentures with an identical interest rate and maturity as the Trust II trust preferred securities. Trust II issued $0.6 million of common securities to the Company.
 
Trust III issued $20.0 million in trust preferred securities bearing an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.85% and maturing on December 17, 2033. The principal assets of Trust III are $20.6 million of the Company's subordinated debentures with an identical interest rate and maturity as the Trust III trust preferred securities. Trust III issued $0.6 million of common securities to the Company.
 
In September 2004, we created a wholly-owned statutory trust, CPB Capital Trust IV ("Trust IV"). Trust IV issued $30.0 million in trust preferred securities bearing an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.45% and maturing on December 15, 2034. The principal assets of Trust IV are $30.9 million of the Company's subordinated debentures with an identical interest rate and maturity as the Trust IV trust preferred securities. Trust IV issued $0.9 million of common securities to the Company.
 
In December 2004, we created a wholly-owned statutory trust, CPB Statutory Trust V ("Trust V"). Trust V issued $20.0 million in trust preferred securities bearing an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.87% and maturing on December 15, 2034. The principal assets of Trust V are $20.6 million of the Company's subordinated debentures with an identical interest rate and maturity as the Trust V trust preferred securities. Trust V issued $0.6 million of common securities to the Company.
 
The trust preferred securities, the subordinated debentures that are the assets of Trusts II, III, IV and V and the common securities issued by Trusts II, III, IV and V are redeemable in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after October 7, 2008 for Trusts II and III, and on or after December 15, 2009 for Trust IV and V, or at any time in whole but not in part within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events. Our obligations with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust's obligations with respect to its trust preferred securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust preferred securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty.

11. EQUITY
 
As a Hawaii state-chartered bank, Central Pacific Bank may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of June 30, 2018, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $86.3 million.
 
Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is

26

 

subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures.

In January 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2016 Repurchase Plan"), which superseded in its entirety the repurchase plan that was previously approved by the Board of Directors.

In January 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2017 Repurchase Plan"). The 2017 Repurchase Plan replaced and superseded in its entirety the 2016 Repurchase Plan. In January 2017, prior to the 2017 Repurchase Plan being approved, 1,750 shares of common stock, at a cost of $0.1 million, were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Plan.

In November 2017, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program authority by an additional $50.0 million (known henceforth as the "Repurchase Plan"). This amount is in addition to the $30.0 million in planned repurchases authorized in January 2017. There is no expiration date on the Repurchase Plan.

In the year ended December 31, 2017, 864,483 shares of common stock, at a cost of $26.6 million, were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Plan and the Repurchase Plan combined.

In the six months ended June 30, 2018, a total of 614,247 shares of common stock, at a cost of $18.1 million, were repurchased under the Repurchase Plan. A total of $35.4 million remained available for repurchase under the Repurchase Plan as of June 30, 2018.

12. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts to provide goods or services to its customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. Our principal source of revenue is derived from interest income on financial instruments, such as our loan and investment securities portfolios, as well as revenue related to our mortgage banking activities. These revenue-generating transactions are out of scope of ASC 606, but are subject to other GAAP and discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.

We also generate other revenue in connection with our broad range of banking products and financial services. Descriptions of our other revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our consolidated statements of income as components of other operating income are as follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts

Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts includes general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as stop payment fees). Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

Other Service Charges and Fees

Revenue from other service charges and fees includes cards and payments income, safe deposit rental income and other service charges, commissions and fees.


27

 

Cards and payments income includes interchange fees from debit cards processed through card association networks, merchant services, and other card related services. Interchange rates are generally set by the credit card associations and based on purchase volumes and other factors. Interchange fees are recognized as transactions occur. Interchange expenses related to cards and payments income are presented gross in other operating expense. Merchant services income represents account management fees and transaction fees charged to merchants for the processing of card association network transactions. Merchant services revenue is recognized as transactions occur, or as services are performed.

Other service charges, commissions and fees include automated teller machines ("ATM") surcharge and interchange fees, bill payment fees, cashier’s check and money order fees, wire transfer fees, loan brokerage fees, and commissions on sales of insurance, broker-dealer products, letters of credit, and travelers’ checks. Revenue from these fees and commissions is recorded in a manner that reflects the timing of when transactions occur, and as services are provided.

Based on the nature of the commission agreement with the broker-dealer and each insurance provider, we may recognize revenue from broker-dealer and insurance commissions over time or at a point-in-time as our performance obligation is satisfied.

Income from Fiduciary Activities

Income from fiduciary activities includes fees from wealth management, trust, custodial and escrow services provided to individual and institutional customers. Revenue is generally recognized monthly based on a minimum annual fee and/or the market value of assets in custody. Additional fees are recognized for transactional activity.

Revenue from trade execution and brokerage services is earned through commissions from trade execution on behalf of clients. Revenue from these transactions is recognized at the trade date. Any ongoing service fees are recognized on a monthly basis as services are performed.

Fees on Foreign Exchange

The Company provides foreign currency exchange services to customers, whereby cash can be converted to different foreign currencies, and vice versa. As a result of the services, a gain or loss is recognized on foreign currency transactions, as well as income related to commissions and fees earned on each transaction.

Revenue from the commissions and fees earned on the transactions fall within the scope of ASC 606, and is recorded in a manner that reflects the timing of when transactions occur, and as services are provided. Realized and unrealized gains or losses related to foreign currency are out of scope of ASC 606.

Loan Placement Fees

Loan placement fees primarily represent revenues earned by the Company for loan placement and underwriting. Revenues for these services are recorded at a point-in-time, upon completion of a contractually identified transaction, or when an advisory opinion is provided.

Gain on Sales of Foreclosed Assets

The Company records a gain or loss on the sale of a foreclosed property when control of the property transfers to the Company, which typically occurs at the time the deed is executed. The Company does not finance the sale of the foreclosed property.

The following presents the Company's other operating income, segregated by revenue streams that are in-scope and out-of-scope of ASC 606 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Central Pacific Bank has a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Pension Plan") which covers certain eligible employees. The plan was curtailed effective December 31, 2002, and accordingly, plan benefits were fixed as of that date. The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Pension Plan for the periods indicated:

Our bank also established Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans ("SERPs"), which provide certain (current and former) officers of our bank with supplemental retirement benefits. We have not entered into a SERP since December 31, 2008.

In the second quarter of 2017, the Company settled a portion of the SERP obligation of a former executive. As a result of the settlement, the Company remeasured the related SERP obligation and net periodic benefit cost and recognized a pro-rata net actuarial loss of $0.1 million in SERP expense and other comprehensive income.

The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost for the SERPs for the periods indicated:

18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for our financial instruments.
 
Short-Term Financial Instruments
 
The carrying values of short-term financial instruments are deemed to approximate fair values. Such instruments are considered readily convertible to cash and include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, accrued interest receivable, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable.
 
Investment Securities
 
The fair value of investment securities is based on market price quotations received from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize pricing models supported with timely market data information. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.
 
Loans
 
Fair values of loans are estimated based on discounted cash flows of portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics including the type of loan, interest terms and repayment history. Fair values are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturities using estimated market discount rates. Estimated market discount rates are reflective of credit and interest rate risks inherent in the Company's various loan types and are derived from available market information, as well as specific borrower information. In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the fair value of loans as of June 30, 2018 are based on the notion of exit price. The fair value of loans as of December 31, 2017 was measured using an entry price notion.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
The fair value of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans. We report the fair values of Hawaii and U.S. Mainland construction and commercial real estate loans, if any, net of applicable selling costs on our consolidated balance sheets.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights

The initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider based on market value assumptions at the time of origination. We assess the servicing right for impairment using current market value assumptions at each reporting period. Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service, and ancillary income. Variations in our assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market value assumptions based on loan product types (fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon loans) include average discount rates and prepayment speeds. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. Our mortgage servicing rights portfolio and valuation assumptions are periodically reviewed by management.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.
 
Deposit Liabilities
 
The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, are equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 

36

 

Long-Term Debt
 
The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows over the contractual borrowing period at the estimated market rate for similar borrowing arrangements.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of off-balance sheet financial instruments are estimated based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties, current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

For derivative financial instruments, the fair values are based upon current market values, if available. If there are no relevant comparables, fair values are based on pricing models using current assumptions for interest rate swaps and options.
 
Limitations
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
 

37

 

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets, premises and equipment and intangible assets.

Fair Value Measurements
 
We group our financial assets and liabilities at fair value into three levels based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that requires the use of significant judgment or estimation.
 
We base our fair values on the price that we would expect to receive if an asset were sold or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We also maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.
 
We use fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale and equity securities and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, we may be required to record other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for sale,

39

 

impaired loans, mortgage servicing rights, and other real estate owned. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
 
The Company's policy is to recognize transfers into or out of a level as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Also, there were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Within the states and political subdivisions available-for-sale debt securities category, the Company holds four mortgage revenue bonds issued by the City & County of Honolulu with an aggregate fair value of $11.3 million and $12.2 million at June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage revenue bonds by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments.
 
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's mortgage revenue bonds is the weighted average discount rate. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average discount rate utilized was 5.16%, compared to 4.54% at June 30, 2017 and 4.81% at December 31, 2017, which was derived by incorporating a credit spread over the FHLB Fixed-Rate Advance curve. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Represents carrying value and related write-downs of loans for which adjustments are based on agreed upon purchase prices for the loans or the appraised value of the collateral.
 
(2) 
 Represents other real estate that is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is generally based upon independent market prices or appraised values of the collateral.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's mortgage servicing rights are the weighted average discount rate and the forecasted constant prepayment rate. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average discount rate and the forecasted constant prepayment rate utilized were 9.5% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to 9.5% and 16.1%, respectively, as of June 30, 2017 and 9.5% and 16.0%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate and/or the forecasted constant prepayment rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
We have the following three reportable segments: Banking Operations, Treasury and All Others. These segments are consistent with our internal functional reporting lines and are managed separately because each unit has different target markets, technological requirements, and specialized skills.
 
The Banking Operations segment includes construction and real estate development lending, commercial lending, residential mortgage lending, indirect auto lending, trust services, retail brokerage services and our retail branch offices, which provide a full range of deposit and loan products, as well as various other banking services. The Treasury segment is responsible for managing the Company's investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding activities. The All Others segment consists of all activities not captured by the Banking Operations or Treasury segments described above and includes activities such as electronic banking, data processing and management of bank owned properties.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with the Company's accounting policies that are described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC. The majority of the Company's net income is derived from net interest income. Accordingly, management focuses primarily on net interest income, rather than gross interest income and expense amounts, in evaluating segment profitability.
 
Intersegment net interest income (expense) was allocated to each segment based upon a funds transfer pricing process that assigns costs of funds to assets and earnings credits to liabilities based on market interest rates that reflect interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics. All administrative and overhead expenses are allocated to the segments at cost. Cash, investment securities, loans and leases and their related balances are allocated to the segment responsible for acquisition and maintenance of those assets. Segment assets also include all premises and equipment used directly in segment operations.

20. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management, after consultation with our legal counsel, believes the ultimate disposition of those matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.


45

 

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
Central Pacific Financial Corp. ("CPF") is a Hawaii corporation and a bank holding company. Our principal business is to serve as a holding company for our bank subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank. We refer to Central Pacific Bank herein as "our bank" or "the bank," and when we say "the Company," "we," "us" or "our," we mean the holding company on a consolidated basis with the bank and our other consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Central Pacific Bank is a full-service community bank with 35 branches and 78 ATMs located throughout the state of Hawaii. The bank offers a broad range of products and services including accepting time, savings, money market, and demand deposits and originating loans, including commercial loans, construction loans, commercial and residential mortgage loans, and consumer loans.

Basis of Presentation
 
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements under "Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)." The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2018 and March 5, 2018, respectively.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires that management make certain judgments and use certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosures made. Accounting estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and would materially impact our consolidated financial statements as of or for the periods presented. Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting estimates noted below with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the accompanying disclosures.

Investment Securities

Investments in debt and mortgage-backed securities are designated as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Securities are designated as held-to-maturity only if we have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity debt securities are reported at amortized cost. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value included in earnings during the periods in which they arise. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Marketable equity securities are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, included in net income.

We use current quotations, where available, to estimate the fair value of investment securities. Where current quotations are not available, we estimate fair value based on the present value of expected future cash flows. We consider the facts of each security including the nature of the security, the amount and duration of the loss, credit quality of the issuer, the expectations for that security's performance and our intent and ability to hold the security until recovery. Declines in the value of debt and mortgage-backed securities and marketable equity securities that are considered other than temporary are recorded in other operating income.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
 
The allowance for loan and lease losses (the "Allowance") is management's estimate of credit losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. In determining the amount of our Allowance, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of general economic conditions, as well as regulatory requirements. We maintain our Allowance at an amount we expect to be sufficient to absorb probable losses incurred in our loan and lease portfolio. At June 30, 2018, we had an Allowance of $48.2 million, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2017.

The Company's approach to developing the Allowance has three basic elements. These elements include specific reserves for individually impaired loans, a general allowance for loans other than those analyzed as individually impaired, and qualitative adjustments based on environmental and other factors which may be internal or external to the Company.

46

 

 
Specific Reserve
 
Individually impaired loans in all loan categories are evaluated using one of three valuation methods as prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-10, "Fair Value of Collateral, Observable Market Price, or Cash Flow". A loan is generally evaluated for impairment on an individual basis if it meets one or more of the following characteristics: risk-rated as substandard, doubtful or loss, loans on nonaccrual status, troubled debt restructures, or any loan deemed prudent by management to so analyze. If the valuation of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the Allowance or, alternatively, a specific reserve will be established and included in the overall Allowance balance. The Company did not record a specific reserve as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

General Allowance

In determining the general allowance component of the Allowance, the Company utilizes a comprehensive approach to segment the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups. The Company's methodology segments the portfolio by FDIC Call Report codes in ten segments, and is consistent with general industry practice. For the purpose of determining general allowance loss factors, loss experience is derived from a migration analysis, with the exception of national syndicated loans and auto dealer purchased loans where an average historical loss rate is applied due to limited historical loss experience. The key inputs to run a migration analysis are the length of the migration period, the dates for the migration periods to start and the number of migration periods used for the analysis. For each migration period, the analysis will determine the outstanding balance in each segment and/or sub-segment at the start of each period. These loans will then be followed for the length of the migration period to identify the amount of associated charge-offs and recoveries. A loss rate for each migration period is calculated using the formula 'net charge-offs over the period divided by beginning loan balance'. The Allowance methodology applies a look back period to January 1, 2010. The Company extends its look back period with each additional quarter passing.

Qualitative Adjustments

Our Allowance methodology uses qualitative adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as economic conditions and industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio, and provide for losses in the loan portfolio that may not be reflected and/or captured in the historical loss data. In order to ensure that the qualitative adjustments are in compliance with current regulatory standards and U.S. GAAP, the Company is primarily basing adjustments on the nine standard factors outlined in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. These factors include: lending policies, economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentrations and other internal & external factors.

In recognizing that current and relevant environmental (economic, market or other) conditions that can affect repayment may not yet be fully reflected in historical loss experience, qualitative adjustments are applied to factor in current loan portfolio and market intelligence. These adjustments, which are added to the historical loss rate, consider the nature of the Company's primary markets and are reasonable, consistently determined and appropriately documented. Management reviews the results of the qualitative adjustment quarterly to ensure it is consistent with the trends in the overall economy, and from time to time may make adjustments, if necessary, to ensure directional consistency.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are recorded when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained and we classify our entire mortgage servicing rights into one pool. We utilize the amortization method to measure our mortgage servicing rights. Under the amortization method, we amortize our mortgage servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new mortgage servicing rights is reported as gains on sales of loans and is a component of mortgage banking income in the other operating income section of our consolidated statements of income. Amortization of the servicing rights is also reported as a component of mortgage banking income. Ancillary income is recorded in other income.

Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider based on market value assumptions at the time of origination. We assess the servicing right for impairment using current market value assumptions at each reporting period. Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service, and ancillary income. Variations in our assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market value assumptions based on loan product types (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate and balloon loans) include average discount rates and national prepayment speeds. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high

47

 

level of management judgment. Our mortgage servicing rights portfolio and valuation assumptions are periodically reviewed by management.

Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as changes in home prices, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations. As market interest rates decline, prepayment speeds will generally increase as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As prepayment speeds increase, anticipated cash flows will generally decline resulting in a potential reduction, or impairment, to the fair value of the capitalized mortgage servicing rights. Alternatively, an increase in market interest rates may cause a decrease in prepayment speeds and therefore an increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights.
 
We perform an impairment assessment of our mortgage servicing rights quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Our impairment assessments involve, among other valuation methods, the estimation of future cash flows and other methods of determining fair value. Estimating future cash flows and determining fair values is subject to judgments and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The variability of the factors we use to perform our impairment tests depend on a number of conditions, including the uncertainty about future events and cash flows. All such factors are interdependent and, therefore, do not change in isolation. Accordingly, our accounting estimates may materially change from period to period due to changing market factors.
 
Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Contingencies
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. A valuation allowance may be required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities ("DTA") will not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, we consider the level of taxable income in prior years, to the extent that carrybacks are permitted under current tax laws, as well as estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to accelerate taxable income, if necessary. If our estimates of future taxable income were materially overstated or if our assumptions regarding the tax consequences of tax planning strategies were inaccurate, some or all of our DTA may not be realized, which would result in a charge to earnings.

As of June 30, 2018, we have a valuation allowance on our net DTA of $3.3 million, which relates to our California state income taxes as we do not expect to generate sufficient income in California to utilize the DTA. Given our seven consecutive years of profitability and the expectation of continued profitability, strong asset quality, and well-capitalized position, we continue to believe that it is more likely than not that our remaining net DTA totaling $24.7 million at June 30, 2018 will be realized.
 
We may establish income tax contingency reserves for potential tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Tax benefits are recognized when we determine that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Where uncertainty exists due to the complexity of income tax statutes and where the potential tax amounts are significant, we generally seek independent tax opinions to support our positions. If our evaluation of the likelihood of the realization of benefits is inaccurate, we could incur additional income tax and interest expense that would adversely impact earnings, or we could receive tax benefits greater than anticipated which would positively impact earnings. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Financial Summary
 
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $14.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $12.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $28.5 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to $25.1 million, or $0.81 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Material Trends
 
The majority of our operations are concentrated in the state of Hawaii. As a result, our performance is significantly influenced by the real estate markets, economic environment and environmental conditions in Hawaii. Macroeconomic conditions also influence our performance. A favorable business environment is generally characterized by expanding gross state product, low unemployment and rising personal income; while an unfavorable business environment is characterized by the reverse.

Following the solid performances of our leading economic indicators in 2017, the economic outlook for Hawaii continues to be positive for the remainder of 2018. Tourism continues to be Hawaii's center of strength and its most significant economic driver. For the sixth straight year in 2017, Hawaii's strong visitor industry broke records in five keys categories, including visitor arrivals and visitor spending. The visitor industry recorded a strong first half of 2018. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority ("HTA"), 5.0 million visitors visited the state in the six months ended June 30, 2018. This was an increase of 8.2% from the number of visitor arrivals in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The HTA also reported total spending by visitors increased to $9.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2018, or an increase of $901.1 million, or 10.8%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017. According to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism ("DBEDT"), total visitor arrivals and visitor spending are expected to increase 6.0% and 8.6% in 2018, respectively, and 1.2% and 2.0% in 2019, respectively.

After two years of consecutive growth above 2%, DBEDT reported Hawaii's economy, as measured by the growth of real personal income and real gross state product, continued positive growth in 2017, but at a slower pace. In its second quarter of 2018 report, DBEDT projects real personal income and real gross state product to grow at a rate of 1.7% and 1.9%, respectively, for 2018 and 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively, for 2019.
 
Hawaii's labor market continues to be the tightest labor market in the nation. The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations reported that Hawaii's seasonally adjusted annual unemployment rate improved to 2.1% in June 2018, compared to 2.4% in June 2017. Hawaii's unemployment rate remained below the national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.0%. DBEDT projects Hawaii's seasonally adjusted annual unemployment rate to be at 2.2% in 2018 and 2.5% in 2019.

Real estate lending is a primary focus for us, including residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans. As a result, we are dependent on the strength of Hawaii's real estate market. Home sales in Hawaii were strong and the housing market set several new records in 2017. According to the Honolulu Board of Realtors, after a slow start to 2018, they continue to see a steady upward trend and anticipate peak sales in the late summer months. Oahu unit sales volume dipped slightly by 1.6% for single-family homes, while Oahu unit sales volume increased 1.3% for condominiums for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same time period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the median sales price for single-family homes on Oahu was $779,000, representing an increase of 3.9% from $750,000 in the same prior year period. The median sales price for condominiums on Oahu for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $425,000, representing an increase of 6.5% from $399,000 in the same prior year period. We believe the Hawaii real estate market will continue to remain strong in 2018, however, there can be no assurance that this will occur.

We are closely monitoring the Mount Kilauea lava eruptions in the Puna District on the Big Island of Hawaii. In the Puna District we have a total of 37 residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit in our portfolio, with a total outstanding balance of $4.3 million. Within that portfolio, we are aware that six residential mortgage properties with an aggregate outstanding balance of $1.6 million have been destroyed by lava. We have confirmed that all six of these properties have adequate insurance coverage. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of the Mount Kilauea lava eruptions on our business and financial condition.

As we have seen in the past, our operating results are significantly impacted by the economy in Hawaii and the composition of our loan portfolio. Loan demand, deposit growth, Provision, asset quality, noninterest income and noninterest expense are all affected by changes in economic conditions. If the residential and commercial real estate markets we have exposure to deteriorate, our results of operations would be negatively impacted.

In late 2008, the Federal Reserve lowered the target Federal Funds range to 0%-0.25%. In an attempt to help the overall economy, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates low through its targeted Federal Funds rate until the recession was safely over. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has begun raising the target Federal Funds range. During 2017, the Federal Reserve increased the Federal Funds rate three times, each time by 25 basis points. The Federal Reserve increased the target Federal Funds range by 25 bp during the first quarter of 2018 to 1.50%-1.75% and another 25 bp during the second quarter of 2018 to 1.75%-2.00%. The Federal Reserve has indicated that further increases are likely during the remainder of 2018, subject to economic conditions. As the Federal Reserve increases the Federal Funds rate, overall interest rates will likely rise, which may negatively impact the U.S. economic recovery. Further, changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence, among other things, (i) the amount of interest we receive on loans and securities, (ii) the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, (iii) our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and (iv) the fair value of our assets and liabilities.

Results of Operations
 
Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income, when annualized and expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets, is referred to as "net interest margin." Interest income, which includes loan fees and resultant yield information, is expressed on a taxable equivalent basis using a federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. A comparison of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis ("net interest income") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is set forth below.

Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $42.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 1.8% from $42.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $85.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing an increase of 1.9% from $83.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to a significant increase in average loans and leases balances funded by growth in lower cost deposits, combined with higher yields

earned on the loans and leases portfolio. Partially offsetting this increase was an increase in average time deposits $100,000 and over, combined with a significant increase in rates paid on time deposits $100,000 and over. Time deposits $100,000 and over primarily consists of public funds which may be opportunistic sources of funding, but fluctuate more directly with a change in Federal Funds rates. The increase was also partially offset by a lower taxable-equivalent adjustment on the tax-exempt investment securities portfolio due to Tax Reform.

In the second quarter of 2017, we completed an investment portfolio repositioning strategy designed to enhance potential prospective earnings and improve net interest margin. In connection with the repositioning, we sold $97.7 million in lower-yielding available-for-sale investment securities, and purchased $97.4 million in higher yielding, longer duration investment securities. The securities sold had a duration of 3.3 years and an average yield of 1.91%. Gross proceeds from the sale were immediately reinvested back into securities with a duration of 4.6 and an average yield of 2.57%. The new securities were classified in the available-for-sale portfolio. Gross realized losses on the sale of the securities were $1.6 million, recorded in other operating income.

Interest Income
 
Taxable-equivalent interest income was $48.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 6.9% from $45.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a $243.4 million increase in average loans and leases compared to the second quarter of 2017, accounting for approximately $2.4 million of the increase in interest income during the second quarter of 2018. In addition, the average yields earned on the loans and leases and taxable investment securities portfolios during the second quarter of 2018 increased by 8 bp and 7 bp, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2017, accounting for approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million of the increase in interest income, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a 65 bp decline in the average taxable-equivalent yield earned on the tax-exempt investment securities portfolio, primarily due to Tax Reform, which decreased interest income by $0.3 million.

Taxable-equivalent interest income was $96.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing an increase of 6.6% from $90.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a $242.5 million increase in average loans and leases compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, accounting for approximately $4.8 million of the increase in interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2018. In addition, the average yields earned on the loans and leases and taxable investment securities portfolios during the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by 4 bp and 12bp, respectively, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, accounting for approximately $0.8 million and $0.8 million of the increase in interest income, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a 65 bp decline in the average taxable-equivalent yield earned on the tax-exempt investment securities portfolio, primarily due to Tax Reform, which decreased interest income by $0.5 million.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 was $5.8 million, representing an increase of 69.1% from the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a 66 bp increase in average rates paid on time deposits $100,000 and over, which increased interest expense by $1.7 million.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $10.8 million, representing an increase of 68.9% from the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a 67 bp increase in average rates paid on time deposits $100,000 and over, which increased interest expense by $3.4 million. The increase in average rates paid on time deposits $100,000 and over during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in average rates paid on public deposits.

Net Interest Margin
 
Our net interest margin of 3.20% for the second quarter of 2018 declined by 9 bp from the second quarter of 2017 as deposit costs continue to increase faster than our loan yields. Our net interest margin of 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 declined by 9 bp from the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The average rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, which increased by 24 bp and 22 bp in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods, outpaced the increase in average yields earned on our interest-earning assets, which increased by 8 bp and 6 bp in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods.

The aforementioned increases in average rates paid on our time deposits $100,000 and over during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was partially offset by the aforementioned increases in average yield earned on our loans and leases and taxable investment securities portfolios. Due to Tax Reform and the resultant reduction in the federal statutory tax rate to 21% beginning January 1, 2018, compared to 35% in the second quarter of 2017, the taxable-equivalent adjustment on interest income earned on the average tax-exempt investment securities portfolio decreased. This resulted in an approximately 2 bp reduction in the net interest margin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The historically low interest rate environment that we continue to operate in is the result of the target Federal Funds range of 0%-0.25% initially set by the Federal Reserve in the fourth quarter of 2008 and other economic policies implemented by the FRB, which continued through the third quarter of 2015. In 2015 and 2016, the Federal Reserve increased the target Federal Funds range by 25 bp each year based on the improvement in labor market conditions and positive economic outlook. Citing improvement in labor market conditions, a move toward more stable prices, and a positive economic outlook, the Federal Reserve increased the target Federal Funds range three times in 2017, each by 25 bp. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve announced their intent to remove monetary policy accommodation through the gradual unwind of their balance sheet that grew following the recession through their quantitative easing programs.
The Federal Reserve increased the target Federal Funds range by 25 bp during the first quarter of 2018 to 1.50%-1.75% and another 25 bp during the second quarter of 2018 to 1.75%-2.00%. We expect the target Federal Funds rate to gradually increase throughout the remainder of 2018, as the labor market continues to strengthen and inflation expectations increase. Furthermore, fiscal policy actions have been interpreted as inflationary with the passage of the Tax Reform at the end of 2017.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
 
Our Provision was a debit of $0.5 million during the second quarter of 2018, compared to a credit of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Our net charge-offs were $1.6 million during the second quarter of 2018, compared to net charge-offs of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our Provision was a debit of $0.3 million, compared to a credit of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our net charge-offs were $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net charge-offs of $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

For the second quarter of 2018, total other operating income of $9.6 million increased by $1.8 million, or 22.4%, from $7.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase from the year-ago quarter was primarily due to investment securities losses of $1.6 million recorded in the year-ago quarter related to an investment portfolio repositioning.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, total other operating income of $18.6 million increased by $0.7 million, or 3.9%, from $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase from the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the aforementioned investment securities losses of $1.6 million recorded in the year-ago period, combined with higher commissions and fees on investment services of $0.6 million (included in other service charges and fees). These increases were partially offset by lower income from bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") of $0.9 million and lower income recovered on nonaccrual loans previously charged-off of $0.4 million. The lower income from BOLI of $0.9 million was primarily attributable to $0.6 million in death benefit income recorded in the year-ago period.

For the second quarter of 2018, total other operating expense was $33.7 million and increased by $1.4 million, or 4.3%, from $32.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $0.8 million, combined with higher advertising and ATM and debit card expenses of $0.2 million each. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily attributable to the increase in the Company's starting pay rate effective January 1, 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, total other operating expense was $67.2 million and increased by $3.4 million, or 5.4%, from $63.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase from the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.9 million, combined with higher advertising and ATM and debit card expenses of $0.4 million each. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily attributable to the increase in the Company's starting pay rate.

A key measure of operating efficiency tracked by management is the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing total operating expenses by total revenue (net interest income and total other operating income). Management believes that the efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information that is important to a proper understanding of the company's core business results by investors. Our efficiency ratio should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to the efficiency ratio presented by other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation to our efficiency ratio for each of the periods indicated:

Our efficiency ratio improved to 64.48% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 65.32% in the year-ago quarter. The improvements in net interest income and other operating income were partially offset by higher other operating expenses as noted above, and resulted in the improvement in our efficiency ratio.

Our efficiency ratio increased from 63.31% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 64.92% in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The higher other operating expenses, partially offset by the improvements in net interest income and other operating income as noted above, resulted in a higher efficiency ratio.

Income Taxes
 
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.8 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $7.4 million and $14.2 million in the same prior year periods. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were 21.2% and 20.86%, respectively, compared to 38.2% and 36.18% in the same prior year periods, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and the effective tax rate in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to lower pre-tax income, combined with the decline in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate attributable to Tax Reform. In addition, in the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded additional income tax expense of $0.9 million related to a former executive's supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP") benefit payout and adjustment to the DTA related to SERP. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.7 million related to a refinement of the revaluation of our DTA. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million related to a tax accounting method change strategy that allows the deduction for certain expenses to be accelerated into the 2017 tax year under the higher corporate tax rate.

The remaining valuation allowance on our net DTA totaled $3.3 million at June 30, 2018 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2017, which related entirely to our DTA from net apportioned net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for California state income tax purposes as we do not expect to generate sufficient income in California to utilize the DTA. Net of this valuation allowance, the Company's net DTA totaled $24.7 million at June 30, 2018, compared to a net DTA of $26.5 million as of December 31, 2017, and is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
 
Financial Condition
 
Total assets at June 30, 2018 of $5.68 billion increased by $57.8 million from $5.62 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in total assets was primarily due to our deposit growth and deployment of these proceeds into higher yielding assets.
 
Investment Securities
 
Investment securities of $1.44 billion at June 30, 2018 decreased by $57.7 million, or 3.9%, from December 31, 2017. The decrease reflects $117.5 million in principal runoff and a $25.9 million decrease in the market valuation on the available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by investment securities purchases totaling $85.3 million.

Loans and leases, net of deferred costs, of $3.88 billion at June 30, 2018 increased by $111.0 million, or 2.9%, from December 31, 2017. The increase reflects net increases in the following loan portfolios: commercial mortgage of $40.4 million, residential mortgage of $36.0 million, commercial, financial and agricultural of $19.3 million, and home equity of $18.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in the consumer loan portfolio of $5.9 million.

The Hawaii loan portfolio increased by $100.4 million, or 3.0%, from December 31, 2017. The increase reflects net increases in the following loan portfolios: commercial mortgage of $22.6 million, residential mortgage of $36.0 million, home equity of $18.6 million, commercial, financial and agricultural of $11.2 million, and consumer of $9.3 million. The increases in the portfolios were primarily due to an increased demand from both new and existing customers.

The U.S. Mainland loan portfolio increased by $10.5 million, or 2.5% from December 31, 2017. The net increase was primarily attributable to net increases in the commercial mortgage loan portfolio of $17.8 million and commercial, financial and agricultural loan portfolio of $8.1 million, partially offset by a reduction in the consumer loan portfolio of $15.2 million.

In May 2018, we purchased a U.S. Mainland auto loan portfolio totaling $20.6 million which included a $0.1 million premium over the $20.5 million outstanding balance. At the time of purchase, the auto loans had a weighted average remaining term of 63 months and a weighted average yield, net of the premium paid and servicing costs, of 3.89%.

Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans and leases and other real estate, totaled $3.5 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2017. There were no nonperforming loans classified as held for sale at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The decrease in nonperforming assets from December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million write-down of a foreclosed asset, $0.2 million in nonaccrual loans returned to accrual status, and $0.2 million in repayments, offset by $0.6 million in additions to nonaccrual loans.
 
Net changes to nonperforming assets by category included net decreases in Hawaii residential mortgage assets of $0.1 million and Hawaii commercial mortgage assets of $0.1 million, partially offset by a net increase in Hawaii home equity assets of $0.1 million.
 
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2018 consisted of four Hawaii residential mortgage loans with a combined principal balance of $0.5 million.

Concessions made to the original contractual terms of these loans consisted primarily of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to deterioration in the borrowers' financial condition. The principal balances on these TDRs had matured and/or were in default at the time of restructure and we have no commitments to lend additional funds to any of these borrowers. There were $11.3 million of TDRs still accruing interest at June 30, 2018, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent. At December 31, 2017, there were $12.6 million of TDRs still accruing interest, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent.

Our Allowance at June 30, 2018 totaled $48.2 million compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease in our Allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2018, was a direct result of $2.1 million in net charge-offs, offset by a debit to the Provision of $0.3 million.
 
Our Allowance as a percentage of total loans and leases decreased from 1.33% at December 31, 2017 to 1.24% at June 30, 2018. Our Allowance as a percentage of nonperforming assets decreased from 1,378.96% at December 31, 2017 to 1,373.07% at June 30, 2018.
 
In accordance with GAAP, loans held for sale and other real estate assets are not included in our assessment of the Allowance.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB"). FHLB membership stock of $10.2 million at June 30, 2018 increased by $2.5 million, or 32.0%, from the FHLB membership stock balance at December 31, 2017.  FHLB membership stock has an activity-based stock requirement, thus as borrowings increase, so will the FHLB membership stock balance. There is a minimum requirement of $6.5 million in FHLB membership stock even if we have no borrowings outstanding.

Total deposits of $4.98 billion at June 30, 2018 reflected an increase of $22.7 million, or 0.5%, from total deposits of $4.96 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase was attributable to net increases in government time deposits of $40.0 million, savings and money market deposits of $20.4 million, and interest-bearing demand deposits of $19.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $30.5 million, other time deposits greater than $250,000 of $21.4 million, and time deposits less than $100,000 of $5.1 million.
 
Core deposits, which we define as demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits less than $100,000, totaled $4.00 billion at June 30, 2018 and increased by $4.7 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2017.

Capital Resources
 
In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with an analysis of the size and quality of our assets, the level of risk and regulatory capital requirements. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews our capital position on an ongoing basis to ensure it is adequate, including, but not limited to, need for raising additional capital or returning capital to our shareholders, including the ability to declare cash dividends or repurchase our securities.
 
Common and Preferred Equity
 
Shareholders' equity totaled $480.7 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $500.0 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease in total shareholders' equity was attributable to other comprehensive loss of $18.2 million, the repurchase of 614,247 shares of common stock under our repurchase program, at a cost of $18.1 million, and cash dividends paid of $11.9 million, partially offset by net income of $28.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased approximately 2.0% of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

The tangible common equity ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Comparison of our tangible common equity ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the tangible common equity ratio differently. Our tangible common equity ratio is derived by dividing common shareholders' equity, less intangible assets (core deposit premium), by total assets, less intangible assets (core deposit premium).

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our tangible common equity ratio for each of the periods indicated:

Holding Company Capital Resources
 
CPF is required to act as a source of strength to the bank under the Dodd-Frank Act. CPF is obligated to pay its expenses and payments on its junior subordinated debentures which fund payments on the outstanding trust preferred securities.
 
CPF relies on the bank to pay dividends to fund its obligations. As of June 30, 2018, on a stand-alone basis, CPF had an available cash balance of approximately $11.8 million in order to meet its ongoing obligations.

As a Hawaii state-chartered bank, the bank may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of June 30, 2018, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $86.3 million. On July 24, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on the Company's outstanding common stock, which was a 16.7% increase from the $0.18 per share a year-ago.
 
Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures.
 
In January 2016, the Board of Directors approved the authorization to repurchase up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock (the "2016 Repurchase Plan"), which superseded in its entirety the repurchase plan that was previously approved by the Board of Directors.

In January 2017, the Board of Directors approved the authorization to repurchase up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock (the "2017 Repurchase Plan"), which superseded in its entirety the 2016 Repurchase Plan. In January 2017, prior to the 2017 Repurchase Plan being approved, 1,750 shares of common stock, at a cost of $0.1 million, were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Plan.

In November 2017, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program authority by an additional $50.0 million (known henceforth as the "Repurchase Plan"). This amount is in addition to the $30.0 million in planned repurchases authorized in January 2017. There is no expiration date on the Repurchase Plan.

In the year ended December 31, 2017, 864,483 shares of common stock, at a cost of $26.6 million, were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Plan and the Repurchase Plan combined.

In the six months ended June 30, 2018, a total of 614,247 shares of common stock, at a cost of $18.1 million, were repurchased under the Repurchase Plan. As of June 30, 2018, $35.4 million remained under the Repurchase Plan. The plan has no set expiration or termination date.

Trust Preferred Securities

We have four statutory trusts, CPB Capital Trust II ("Trust II"), CPB Statutory Trust III ("Trust III"), CPB Capital Trust IV ("Trust IV") and CPB Statutory Trust V ("Trust V"), which issued a total of $90.0 million in trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities, the subordinated debentures that are the assets of Trusts II, III, IV and V and the common securities issued by Trusts II, III, IV and V are redeemable in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after October 7, 2008 for Trusts II and III, and on or after December 15, 2009 for Trust IV and V, or at any time in whole but not in part within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events. Our obligations with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust's obligations with respect to its trust preferred securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we may elect from time to time to defer subordinated debenture interest payments, which would result in a deferral of dividend payments on the related trust preferred securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty.

Regulatory Capital Ratios
 
General capital adequacy regulations adopted by the FRB and FDIC require an institution to maintain minimum leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratios. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios. For a further discussion of the effect of forthcoming changes in required regulatory capital ratios, see the discussion in the "Business — Supervision and Regulation" sections of our 2017 Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A.
 
The Company's and the bank's leverage capital, tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and CET1 risk-based capital ratios as of June 30, 2018 were above the levels required for a "well capitalized" regulatory designation.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
 
Our earnings and capital are sensitive to risk of interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk arises when rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities mature or reprice during different periods or in differing amounts. In the normal course of business, we are subjected to interest rate risk through the activities of making loans and taking deposits, as well as from our investment securities portfolio and other interest-bearing funding sources. Asset/liability management attempts to coordinate our rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities to meet our financial objectives.

Our Asset/Liability Management Policy seeks to maximize the risk-adjusted return to shareholders while maintaining consistently acceptable levels of liquidity, interest rate risk and capitalization. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee, or ALCO, monitors interest rate risk through the use of interest rate sensitivity gap, net interest income and market value of portfolio equity simulation and rate shock analyses. This process is designed to measure the impact of future changes in interest rates on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity. Adverse interest rate risk exposures are managed through the shortening or lengthening of the duration of assets and liabilities.
 
ALCO utilizes a detailed and dynamic simulation model to measure and manage interest rate risk exposures. The monthly simulation process is designed to measure the impact of future changes in interest rates on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity and to allow ALCO to model alternative balance sheet strategies.

Liquidity and Borrowing Arrangements
 
Our objective in managing liquidity is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in order to economically meet the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals and participate in lending and investment opportunities as they arise. We monitor our liquidity position in relation to changes in loan and deposit balances on a daily basis to ensure maximum utilization, maintenance of an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources.
 
Core deposits have historically provided us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low cost funds, but are subject to competitive pressure in our market. In addition to core deposit funding, we also have access to a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources, which include proceeds from maturities of our investment securities, as well as secondary funding sources such as the FHLB, secured repurchase agreements and the Federal Reserve discount window, available to meet our liquidity needs. While we historically have had access to these other funding sources, access to these sources may not be guaranteed and can be restricted in the future as a result of market conditions or the Company's and bank's financial position.
 
The bank is a member of and maintained a $1.62 billion line of credit with the FHLB as of June 30, 2018, compared to $1.50 billion at December 31, 2017. We had $87.0 million in short-term borrowings under this arrangement at June 30, 2018, compared to $32.0 million at December 31, 2017. There were no long-term borrowings under this arrangement at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. FHLB advances available at June 30, 2018 were secured by certain real estate loans with a carrying value of $2.18 billion in accordance with the collateral provisions of the Advances, Security and Deposit Agreement with the FHLB. At June 30, 2018, $1.53 billion was undrawn under this arrangement, compared to $1.47 billion at December 31, 2017.
 
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our bank had additional unused borrowings available at the Federal Reserve discount window of $71.5 million and $73.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a carrying value totaling $125.8 million and $129.2 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on our line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window. The Federal Reserve does not have the right to sell or repledge these loans.
 
Our ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity is dependent on our ability to continue to maintain our strong risk profile and capital base. Our liquidity may also be negatively impacted by weakness in the financial markets and industry-wide reductions in liquidity.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
Information regarding our contractual obligations is provided in "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2017.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices such as interest rates, foreign currency rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk that occurs when rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities mature or reprice during different periods or in differing amounts. Asset/liability management attempts to coordinate our rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities to meet our financial objectives. The Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") monitors interest rate risk through the use of interest rate sensitivity gap, net interest income and market value of portfolio equity simulation, and rate shock analyses. Adverse interest rate risk exposures are managed through the shortening or lengthening of the duration of assets and liabilities.

The primary analytical tool we use to measure and manage our interest rate risk is a simulation model that projects changes in net interest income ("NII") as market interest rates change. Our ALCO policy requires that simulated changes in NII should be

67

 

within certain specified ranges, or steps must be taken to reduce interest rate risk. The results of the model indicate that the mix of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities at June 30, 2018 would not result in a fluctuation of NII that would exceed the established policy limits.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018 and March 5, 2018, respectively, except as described below.

Natural disasters and other external events could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our branch offices as well as a substantial majority of our loan portfolio is in the State of Hawaii. As a result, natural disasters and other severe weather occurrences such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions (such as the recent eruption of Mount Kilauea), hurricanes and earthquakes and other adverse external events, could have a significant effect on our ability to conduct our business and adversely affect the tourism and visitor industry in the State of Hawaii. Such events could affect the ability of our borrowers to repay their outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing our loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue, adversely impact our deposit base and/or cause us to incur additional expenses. Accordingly, the occurrence of any such natural disasters or severe weather events could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Item 2.         Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
In January 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2017 Repurchase Plan"). The 2017 Repurchase Plan replaced and superseded in its entirety the previous share repurchase program.

In November 2017, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the 2017 Repurchase Plan authority by an additional $50.0 million (known henceforth as the "Repurchase Plan"). We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to repurchase any shares of our common stock. In addition, our ability to repurchase common stock may be restricted by applicable federal or Hawaii law or by our regulators.

In the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 269,885 shares of common stock, at an aggregate cost of $8.0 million, under the Repurchase Plan. As of June 30, 2018, a total of $35.4 million remained available for repurchase under the Repurchase Plan. There is no expiration date on the Repurchase Plan.
