HEI Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results
2Q21 Net Income of $63.9 Million and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)¹ of $0.58
HONOLULU, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the second quarter of 2021 of $63.9 million and EPS of $0.58 compared to $48.9 million and EPS of $0.45 for the second quarter of 2020.
"HEI delivered strong consolidated financial results in the second quarter as Hawaii's economy strengthened and as we advanced key priorities across our enterprise," said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and CEO.
"At our utility the new performance-based regulation (PBR) framework is now fully in effect as of June 1, and we've begun delivering savings from our cost management program to our customers. We remain focused on cost efficiencies as we make needed investments to continue to provide safe, reliable electricity and reach Hawaii's climate goals.
"Our bank's strong second quarter results reflect the reopened local economy and increased tourism, solid execution and our bank's continuing efforts to work closely with its customers through the pandemic. The bank's results benefited from a release of reserves for credit losses, driven by the improved economy and credit quality, while the bank continues to transform its operating model to provide excellent customer service in an increasingly digital world," said Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS
Hawaiian Electric Company's (Hawaiian Electric) net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $41.9 million, compared to $42.3 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the following after-tax items:
- $6 million from higher operations and maintenance expenses consisting primarily of (i) $3 million due to more generating facility overhauls, (ii) $2 million from lower bad debt expense in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from a Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) decision allowing deferral of COVID-19 related expenses, (iii) $1 million from a write-off due to termination of an agreement relating to a combined heat and power unit, and (iv) $1 million due to an increase in an environmental reserve, partially offset by $1 million from lower staffing levels and efficiency improvements; and
- $1 million from higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments to integrate more renewable energy and improve customer reliability and system efficiency.
These items were partially offset by the following after-tax items:
- $3 million from higher rate adjustment mechanism revenues;
- $2 million related solely to a change in the timing for revenue recognition within the year that eliminates seasonality in recognizing target revenues and results in recognizing revenues evenly throughout the year, with target revenues recognized on an annual basis remaining unchanged;
- $1 million lower non-service pension costs due to the reset of pension costs included in rates as part of a final rate case decision; and
- $1 million lower enterprise resource planning system implementation benefits to be passed on to customers.

Note: Amounts indicated as after-tax in this earnings release are based upon adjusting items using the current year composite statutory tax rates of 25.75% for the utilities and 26.79% for the bank. |
AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK EARNINGS
American Savings Bank's (American) second quarter of 2021 net income was $30.3 million, compared to $29.6 million in the first, or linked, quarter of 2021 and $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in net income compared to the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to a credit-driven reserve release that resulted in a negative provision for credit losses of $12.2 million for the second quarter. This compares to a negative provision for credit losses of $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 and a provision for credit losses of $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2020.
Total loans were $5.2 billion as of June 30, 2021, down 2.7% from December 31, 2020. The reduction in the loan portfolio included approximately $228 million in forgiven ASB CARES (Paycheck Protection Program) loans, in addition to declines in the home equity line of credit and consumer portfolios. The decrease in these portfolios was partially offset by growth in the commercial real estate portfolio.
Total deposits were $7.9 billion as of June 30, 2021, an increase of 6.6% from December 31, 2020. For the second quarter of 2021, the average cost of funds was 0.07%, down one basis point versus the linked quarter and down eleven basis points versus the prior year quarter.
Overall, American's return on average equity2 for the second quarter of 2021 was 16.8%, compared to 16.0% in the linked quarter and 8.0% in the second quarter of 2020. Return on average assets was 1.38% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 1.40% in the linked quarter and 0.72% in the same quarter last year.
In the second quarter of 2021, American paid dividends of $23.0 million to HEI. American had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.0% at June 30, 2021.
Please refer to American's news release issued on July 30, 2021 for additional information on American.
HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies' net loss was $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. The greater net loss was primarily due to increased charitable contribution expense relating to a settlement agreement associated with an executive transition.
BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On August 6, 2021, HEI announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share, payable on September 10, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2021 (ex-dividend date is August 18, 2021). This quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.36 per share. Dividends have been paid on an uninterrupted basis since 1901. At the indicated annual dividend rate and based on the closing price per share on August 6, 2021 of $43.83, HEI's dividend yield is 3.1%.
