HONOLULU, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) (NYSE: HE) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the third quarter of 2017 of $60.1 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.55 compared to $127.1 million and EPS of $1.17 for the third quarter of 2016.  Third quarter of 2016 core earnings1 and core EPS1 were $63.3 million and $0.58, respectively.  HEI's third quarter of 2016 core earnings1 included $6 million of favorable tax adjustments at the holding company as HEI moved out of a federal net operating loss position, enabling the recognition of tax benefits.   

"HEI's core earnings1 for the quarter compared well to the prior year quarter.  The utility performed as we expected, and we saw strong performance by American Savings Bank.  The bank delivered higher earnings and profitability driven by improving credit quality and higher yields on interest-earning assets.  This exemplifies the value of the unique combination of businesses which comprise HEI," said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer.

Hawaiian Electric Company's2 net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $47.5 million as our utilities continue to perform according to plan for this transition year compared to $47.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.  The $0.5 million net income increase from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $2 million higher net revenues3 mainly due to higher recovery of costs for integrating more renewables and reliability investments and the Hawaii Electric Light 2016 interim rate increase which became effective on August 31, 2017;
  • $2 million higher allowance for funds used during construction primarily due to the Schofield generating plant project expected to be placed in service in the second quarter of 2018; and
  • $1 million favorable tax adjustments as the utility moved out of a federal net operating loss position, enabling the recognition of tax benefits in the third quarter of 2017. 

These increases were offset by the following after-tax items:

  • $4 million higher operations and maintenance expenses4 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher overhaul expenses and enterprise resource planning project 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 third quarter of 2017 was $17.6 million compared to $16.7 million in the second (or linked) quarter of 2017 and $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. 

Compared to the third quarter of 2016, the $2.5 million increase was primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $3 million higher net interest income driven mainly by growth in interest-earning assets funded by strong deposit growth and overall improvement in asset yields; and
  • $3 million lower provision for loan losses resulting from work to improve commercial loan asset quality.

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

  • $2 million lower noninterest income primarily due to lower mortgage banking income and no gain on sale of real estate; and
  • $1 million higher noninterest expense primarily due to higher performance-based incentive cost.

Compared to the linked second quarter of 2017, the $0.9 million increase was primarily driven by lower provision for loan losses.

Total loans were $4.7 billion at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $65 million or 1.8% annualized from December 31, 2016.  This decrease reflects American's work to improve overall commercial loan quality through a strategic decrease in its exposure to national syndicated credits, as well as a reduction in its commercial real estate loan portfolio.  The decrease in American's commercial portfolio was partially offset by growth in home equity lines of credit, consumer and residential loan portfolios.    

Total deposits were $5.8 billion at September 30, 2017, an increase of $203 million or 4.9% annualized from December 31, 2016.  Low-cost core deposits increased $153 million or 4.2% annualized from December 31, 2016.  The average cost of funds was 0.20% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 0.21% for the second quarter of 2017 and 0.24% for the third quarter of 2016.

Overall, American achieved solid profitability in the third quarter of 2017 with a return on average equity of 11.6% and a return on average assets of 1.07%.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies' net loss was $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $65.1 million net income in the third quarter of 2016.  Excluding the Transaction Adjustments which totaled $63.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, the holding and other companies' net loss was $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.2 net income in the third quarter of 2016.  The holding company's third quarter of 2016 net income included $6.0 million of favorable tax adjustments as HEI moved out of a federal net operating loss position, enabling the recognition of tax benefits.
