HONOLULU, May 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $0.31

Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) (NYSE - HE) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the first quarter of 2017 of $34.2 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.31 compared to $32.4 million and EPS of $0.30 for the first quarter of 2016. Core earningswere $34.2 million and core EPS of $0.31 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $35.3 million and $0.33, respectively, in the first quarter of 2016.

'Our utilities continue to be leaders in the transformation to clean energy and we're making significant upgrades to our grids to make them more resilient, reliable and renewable-ready. At American Savings Bank, we continue to deliver solid year over year earnings growth and strong first quarter annualized deposit growth of 9.1% while maintaining healthy capital levels,' said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS

Hawaiian Electric Company's net income for the first quarter of 2017 was $21.5 million compared to $25.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. Core earnings were $21.5 million and $26.7 million in the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $5.3 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.
Non-GAAP measure that excludes income and costs after-tax 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.
Hawaiian Electric Company, unless otherwise defined, 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 mainly due to the expiration of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission-approved 2013 settlement agreement with the Consumer Advocate that had allowed Hawaiian Electric to record calendar year rate adjustment mechanism revenues from January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2016; and
  • $1 million higher depreciation expense as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy and improved customer reliability.

These items were partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) lower operations and maintenance expenses compared to the prior year quarter which included power supply improvement plan consulting expenses of $2 million (after-tax). The first quarter of 2017 also included additional reserves for environmental costs of $1 million (after-tax).

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK EARNINGS

American Savings Bank's (American) net income for the first quarter of 2017 was $15.8 million compared to $16.2 million in the fourth (or linked) quarter of 2016 and $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Compared to the first quarter of 2016, the $3.1 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 strong deposit growth into our investment portfolio.

_________________
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.
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.
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.

Compared to the linked fourth quarter of 2016, the $0.4 million decrease was primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $1 million higher net interest income driven mainly by higher yields in our investment portfolio and growth in our consumer portfolio; and
  • $1 million lower noninterest expense.

These increases were offset by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $1 million higher provision for loan losses including additional reserves for a commercial real estate relationship in the first quarter of 2017; and
  • $1 million lower noninterest income primarily due to lower mortgage banking income as a result of a reduction in residential mortgage refinancing activity.

Total loans were $4.7 billion at March 31, 2017, and included growth in the residential and consumer loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2017. The reduction in our exposure to national credits, a loan payoff connected with a completed construction project, and the resolution and payoff of a prior nonperforming commercial loan contributed to the 1.2% annualized decline in our loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2017.

Total deposits were $5.7 billion at March 31, 2017, an increase of $126 million or 9.1% annualized increase from December 31, 2016. Low-cost core deposits increased $140 million or 11.4% annualized increase from December 31, 2016. The average cost of funds was 0.20% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 0.22% for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 0.23% for the first quarter of 2016.

Overall, American achieved solid profitability in the first quarter of 2017 with a return on average equity of 10.8% and a return on average assets of 0.98%.

For additional information, refer to the American news release issued on April 28, 2017.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies' net losses were $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the $5.7 million net loss in the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the Transaction Adjustments which totaled $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2016, holding and other companies' net losses were $3.1 million and $4.2 million in the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The lower net loss was primarily driven by tax benefits in the first quarter of 2017 related to the adoption of an accounting standard update on share-based compensation.

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 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.
