HEI Reports Second Quarter 2017 Earnings

HONOLULU, Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) (NYSE - HE) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the second quarter of 2017 of $38.7 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.36 compared to $44.1 million and EPS of $0.41 for the second quarter of 2016. Second quarter 2016 core earnings(1) and core EPS(1) were $46.9 million and $0.43, respectively.

"Our utilities continue to bring more renewable resources online, strengthen our energy delivery networks to make them more reliable and resilient and promote sustainable communities. We are encouraged by our regulators' acceptance of our Power Supply Improvement Plan, which describes the near-term steps to move Hawaii closer to its 100 percent renewable energy goal. At American Savings Bank, we continued to deliver strong performance through the second quarter with higher returns from improving credit quality, higher yields and greater efficiency while maintaining healthy capital levels," said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS
Hawaiian Electric Company's(2) net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $25.6 million compared to $35.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. Core earnings(1) were $25.6 million and $36.6 million in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $11.0 million core net income decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:


    ____________________________

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

    (1)          Non-GAAP measure that excludes after-tax income and costs related
                 to the terminated merger with NextEra Energy, Inc., the cancelled
                 spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc., and the termination of the
                 liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract which required PUC approval
                 of the merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. (the "Transaction
                 Adjustments").  See the "Explanation of HEI's Use of Certain
                 Unaudited Non-GAAP measures" and the related reconciliation.

    (2)          Hawaiian Electric Company refers to the three utilities, Hawaiian
                 Electric Company, Inc. on Oahu, Maui Electric Company, Limited,
                 and Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.
    --  $5 million lower net revenues(3) mainly due to the expiration of the
        Hawaii Public Utilities Commission-approved 2013 settlement agreement
        with the Consumer Advocate that had allowed Hawaiian Electric Company,
        Inc. to record calendar year rate adjustment mechanism revenues from
        January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2016(4);
    --  $5 million higher operations and maintenance expenses(5) compared to the
        prior year quarter primarily due to higher overhaul expenses due to
        timing, increased maintenance costs, enterprise resource planning costs,
        partial write-off of deferred geothermal RFP costs, higher property
        damage reserve for a customer claim and grid modernization consulting
        costs; and
    --  $1 million higher depreciation expense as a result of increasing
        investments for the integration of more renewable energy and improved
        customer reliability.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK EARNINGS
American Savings Bank's (American) net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $16.7 million compared to $15.8 million in the first (or linked) quarter of 2017 and $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Compared to the second quarter of 2016, the $3.4 million increase was primarily driven by $3 million (after-tax) higher net interest income mainly due to growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios as well as the deployment of deposit growth into our investment portfolio.


    ______________________________

    (3)          Net revenues represent the after-tax impact of "Revenues" less the
                 following expenses which are largely pass through items in revenues:
                 "fuel oil," "purchased power" and "taxes, other than income taxes" as
                 shown on the Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries'
                 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

    4            With the expiration of the 2013 settlement agreement with the Consumer
                 Advocate that was approved by the PUC, in 2017 the Oahu rate adjustment
                 mechanism (RAM) revenues revert to being recorded for accounting
                 purposes from a calendar year recognition period to a period beginning
                 on June 1 of each year through May 31 of the subsequent year.  The
                 periods in which the cash reflecting RAM revenues is collected did not
                 change as a result of the settlement agreement and have always been
                 aligned to the June 1 to May 31 periods. Therefore, the expiration of
                 the 2013 settlement agreement will have no impact on Hawaiian Electric
                 Company cash collections.

    5            Excludes net income neutral expenses covered by surcharges or by third
                 parties and merger-related costs including the terminated LNG contract
                 costs.  See the "Explanation of HEI's Use of Certain Unaudited Non-
                 GAAP measures" and the related reconciliation.

The $1 million (after-tax) lower provision for loan losses was offset by $1 million (after-tax) higher non-interest expense.

Compared to the linked first quarter of 2017, the $0.9 million increase was primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:

    --  $1 million higher net interest income driven mainly by higher loan
        portfolio yields and growth in our consumer loan and investment
        portfolios;
    --  $1 million lower provision for loan losses; and
    --  $1 million higher noninterest income mainly due to improved performance
        from bank-owned life insurance investments.

These increases were offset by $2 million (after-tax) higher noninterest expense primarily due to higher compensation and benefit costs.

Total loans were $4.7 billion at June 30, 2017 and included growth in the consumer, home equity line of credit and residential loan portfolios during the second quarter of 2017.

Total deposits were $5.7 billion at June 30, 2017, an increase of $175 million or 6.3% annualized from December 31, 2016. Low-cost core deposits increased $143 million or 5.8% annualized from December 31, 2016. The average cost of funds was 0.21% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 0.20% for the first quarter of 2017 and 0.23% for the second quarter of 2016.

Overall, American achieved solid profitability in the second quarter of 2017 with a return on average equity of 11.3% and a return on average assets of 1.02%.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies' net losses were $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the $5.0 million net loss in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the Transaction Adjustments which totaled $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, holding and other companies' net losses were $3.7 million and $3.0 million in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

EXPLANATION OF HEI'S USE OF CERTAIN UNAUDITED NON-GAAP MEASURES

HEI and Hawaiian Electric Company management use certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI and the utility. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies' core operating activities given the non-recurring nature of these items. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP(1) earnings to non-GAAP core earnings and the adjusted return on average common equity (ROACE) for HEI and the utility.

The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to core earnings are limited to income, costs and associated taxes related to the terminated merger between HEI and NextEra Energy, Inc., the cancelled spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc., and the termination of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract which required the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission approval of the merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. For more information on the transactions, see HEI's Form 8-K filed on July 18, 2016 and HEI's Form 8-K filed on July 19, 2016. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company's fundamental core earnings.

The accompanying table also provides the calculation of utility GAAP O&M adjusted for costs related to the terminated merger discussed above. "O&M-related net income neutral items" which are O&M expenses covered by specific surcharges or by third parties have also been excluded. These "O&M-related net income neutral items" are grossed-up in revenue and expense and do not impact net income.
