Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HE) (HEI) today reported 2015 year-end consolidated net income for common stock of $159.9 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.50 compared to $168.1 million and EPS of $1.63 for 2014.  For the fourth quarter of 2015, consolidated net income for common stock was $42.3 million and EPS of $0.39 compared to $33.3 million and EPS of $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2014.  Excluding after-tax costs associated with the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc. of $15.8 million and $4.9 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $2.2 million and $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, core1 earnings in 2015 were $175.7 million and core1 EPS of $1.65, compared to $173.0 million and EPS of $1.68 in 2014.  For the fourth quarter of 2015, core1 earnings were $44.5 million and core1 EPS of $0.41 compared to $37.6 million and EPS of $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2014.

"Our HEI companies delivered a competitive core1 return on equity of 9.4% for the year," said Constance Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer, "and our continuing efforts to push the boundaries of renewable energy integration helped us achieve an energy portfolio powered by 22%2 renewable sources in 2015, exceeding Hawaii's 2015 Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) target of 15%.  Thirteen percent of our customers now have customer-sited solar, a level of integration that leads the nation.  We continue to push for even higher levels of renewable integration to meet Hawaii's 100% RPS goal for 2045.  We remain focused on further reducing costs for our customers by vigilantly managing expenses; and increasing customer choice and engagement in Hawaii's move to 100% renewable energy by designing new time of use rates and demand response programs.  Fortunately, lower oil prices in 2015 reduced the average residential bill by 18%, but it's important that we continue to reduce our state's exposure to future oil price volatility and price increases."

"Our bank delivered solid financial results in 2015, producing healthy loan growth with good credit quality while maintaining its capital levels.  Our bank continues to make investments to continually improve the customer experience and is well positioned to continue to grow in 2016," said Lau.

"In December 2014, we announced our proposed merger with NextEra Energy, and pending approval by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, we are looking forward to working with NextEra Energy as a partner to help accelerate Hawaii's clean energy transformation.  We also announced the related spin-off of American Savings Bank, and we are confident that American, as a new, publicly-traded entity, will provide benefits for our Hawaii customers and communities," added Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS CONSISTENT WITH EXPECTATIONS

Full Year Results:

Hawaiian Electric Company's5 full-year 2015 net income was $135.7 million compared to $137.6 million in 2014.  The $1.9 million decrease from the prior year was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $7 million higher depreciation expense as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency; and
  • $3 million higher O&M expenses4 impacted by a regulatory decision denying recovery of enterprise resource planning software costs, additional reserves for environmental costs and higher employee benefit costs offset in part by higher 2014 costs for initial phase smart grid installations.

These items were partially offset by $7 million higher net revenues6 primarily due to $8 million in recovery of costs for clean energy and reliability investments partially offset by $1 million lower fuel efficiency performance.

_________________

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.

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.

6  

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' Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Fourth Quarter Results:

Fourth quarter 2015 net income of $33.0 million was $3.9 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $5 million lower O&M expenses4 in the fourth quarter of 2015 largely due to lower maintenance costs including vegetation management costs, the deferral of RFP costs and higher fourth quarter of 2014 costs for initial phase smart grid installations and the upgrade of the customer information system partially offset by the additional reserves for environmental costs in 2015; and
  • $2 million higher net revenues in 2015 attributable to the recovery of costs for clean energy and reliability investments.

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

  • $2 million higher depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency; and
  • $1 million higher interest expense and other charges.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK:   SOLID FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Full Year Results:

American Savings Bank's (American) full-year 2015 net income was $54.7 million compared to $51.3 million in 2014.  The $3.4 million increase from the prior year was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $5 million higher net interest income as contributions from loan and investment portfolio growth more than offset the lower yield on earning assets; and
  • $4 million higher noninterest income primarily due to higher mortgage banking income ($2 million) resulting from selling a larger portion of low rate mortgage loan originations and higher deposit-related fee initiatives ($2 million).

These increases were partially offset by $6 million after-tax higher noninterest expense primarily due to higher pension and benefits expense.

American achieved loan growth of 4.1% in 2015, consistent with the bank's target and growth strategies, operating in the competitive Hawaii market environment.  Loan growth was primarily driven by commercial real estate, residential and home equity loans and helped to offset the impact of the decline in net interest margin.

Total deposits were $5.0 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $402 million or 8.7% from December 31, 2014.  Low-cost core deposits increased $357 million or 8.5% from December 31, 2014.  The average cost of funds was 0.22% for the full year 2015, down 1 basis point from the prior year.

Overall, American's return on average equity for the full year remained solid at 9.9% in 2015 compared to 9.6% in 2014, and the return on average assets for the full year was 0.95% in 2015 consistent with 2014.

Fourth Quarter Results:

Fourth quarter 2015 net income of $15.0 million was $1.5 million higher than the third, or linked quarter and $2.8 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2014.

Compared to the linked quarter of 2015, the $1.5 million increase in the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $1 million lower provision for loan losses primarily related to the recovery during the fourth quarter of 2015 of previously charged-off loans; and
  • $1 million higher net interest income due to strong loan and investment portfolio growth.

These increases were partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) of lower noninterest income primarily due to the gain on sale of the American service center building vacated as part of the campus consolidation plan in the linked quarter.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, the $2.8 million higher net income in the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by the following after-tax items:

  • $1 million higher net interest income due to strong loan and investment portfolio growth;
  • $1 million higher provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to the downgrade of one performing commercial real estate loan; and
  • $1 million higher noninterest income.

American's fourth quarter of 2015 return on average equity was 10.7%, up from 9.7% in the linked quarter and 8.9% in the fourth quarter last year.  Return on average assets was 1.01% for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 0.92% from the linked quarter and 0.88% in the same quarter last year.

Also refer to the American's news release issued on January 29, 2016.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies' net losses were $30.6 million in 2015 compared to $20.8 million in 2014.  Excluding after-tax costs associated with the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc. of $15.2 million in 2015 and $4.9 million in 2014, holding and other companies' net losses in 2015 and 2014 were $15.4 million and $15.9 million, respectively.

Fourth quarter net losses were $5.6 million in 2015 compared to $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.  Excluding after-tax costs associated with the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc. of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, holding and other companies' net losses in 2015 and 2014 were $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (when filed), ASB Hawaii, Inc.'s Form 10 for the year ended December 31, 2015 (when filed) and HEI's Quarterly Reports on SEC Form 10-Q /A for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and HEI's Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as updated by SEC Forms 8-K.

 

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 the utility and HEI.  Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies' core operating activities.  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 GAAP1 earnings to non-GAAP core earnings and the adjusted return on average common equity (ROACE) for the utility and HEI consolidated.

The reconciling adjustment from GAAP earnings to core earnings is limited to the costs related to the pending merger between HEI and NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc.  For more information on the pending merger, see HEI's definitive proxy statement on Form DEFM14A filed on March 26, 2015.  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 pending 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.
