HONOLULU, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.(NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the third quarter of 2016 of $127.1 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.17 compared to $50.7 million and EPS of $0.47 for the third quarter of 2015.  Financial results for the third quarter of 2016 include the one-time increase to net income of $63.8 million related to the recently terminated merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and related spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc., as compared to $1.7 million net expense in the third quarter of 2015.  Excluding these items, core earnings1 for the third quarter of 2016 were $63.3 million and core EPS1 of $0.58 compared to $52.4 million and $0.49 respectively for the third quarter of 2015.

"The NextEra Energy termination payment will support HEI's investments in our community and projects our utility is undertaking to reliably integrate more renewable energy for its customers.  Through the first nine months of this year, Hawaiian Electric invested $230 million in local infrastructure projects to modernize the electric grid and to reliably integrate more renewable energy, moving us closer to our renewable energy goals.  And in October, Hawaiian Electric marked its 125th year of serving the people of Hawaii.  At American Savings Bank, we continued to deliver solid earnings growth and strong year-to-date annualized deposit growth of 9.4%," said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS

Hawaiian Electric Company's2 net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $47.0 million compared to $43.0 million in the third quarter of 2015.  The increase was largely due to the non-recurrence of one-time items recorded in 2015.

O&M expenses were $5 million (after-tax) lower compared to the prior year quarter as the third quarter of 2015 was impacted by one-time items including the $3 million after-tax adjustment for enterprise resource planning software costs.  In addition, third quarter 2016 O&M costs were $2 million (after-tax) lower due to fewer overhauls performed. 

Lower O&M expenses were partially offset by $1 million higher depreciation expense as a result of increased investments for improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency, and the integration of more renewable energy.

Net revenues were relatively flat as $2 million (after-tax) higher recovery of costs for clean energy and reliability investments were offset by $2 million (after-tax) lower fuel efficiency.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK EARNINGS

American Savings Bank's (American) net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $15.1 million compared to $13.3 million in the second (or linked) quarter of 2016 and $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2015.  Third quarter 2016 net income was $1.8 million higher than the linked quarter primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher revenues due to higher noninterest income and net interest income, partially offset by higher provision for loan losses.

Compared to the third quarter of 2015, net income improved by $1.7 million primarily driven by $2 million (after-tax) higher net interest income due to growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios.  Higher net interest income was partially offset by higher provision for loan losses.

Total loans were $4.7 billion at September 30, 2016, essentially flat compared to the linked quarter and increased $118 million year-to-date 2016.  Year-to-date annualized loan growth was 3.4%, on track for American's target of mid-single digit loan growth for the full year. 

Total deposits were $5.4 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $149 million and $355 million in the third quarter and year-to-date 2016, respectively.  Year-to-date annualized deposit growth of 9.4% was primarily driven by the $190 million (5.6% year-to-date annualized) increase in low-cost core deposits.   Average cost of funds remained low at 0.24% for the third quarter of 2016, 1 basis point higher than the linked quarter and 2 basis points higher than the prior year quarter.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
