2Q22 Net Income of $52.5M and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)1 of $0.48
Utility Performing Well Despite Inflationary Environment
Bank Results Reflect Strong Loan Growth, Expanding Net Interest Margin, Favorable Credit Trends and More Normalized Provision
HONOLULU, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the second quarter of 2022 of $52.5 million and EPS of $0.48 compared to $63.9 million and EPS of $0.58 for the second quarter of 2021. The lower net income was due primarily to the prior year's negative provision for credit losses at American Savings Bank, and the return to a more normalized provision expense due to strong loan growth.
"Our consolidated second quarter results reflect solid performance across our enterprise," said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO. "The utility continues to execute well under performance-based regulation, and will continue to focus on cost control to moderate the impacts of inflation and high fuel costs on customer bills. We did see higher maintenance expenses due to purposeful acceleration of work on our generating units to reduce downtimes and ensure reliable service to our customers as we completely transition off of coal and one of the largest power plants in the state on September 1. Our bank results reflect good execution from the team and an earnings level that is driven by a more normalized provision in comparison to recent periods. The bank saw strong loan growth during the quarter, and credit quality is trending favorably. Our bank continues to progress its digital transformation, and launched Zelle during the quarter, providing a fast and easy way for customers to send and receive money.
"We know that our communities and customers are feeling financially challenged, and we are continuing to provide options to help manage their utility bills, while our bank continues working to help meet customers' financial needs," said Seu.
1 Unless otherwise indicated, throughout this release earnings per share (EPS) refers to diluted earnings per share.
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS2
Hawaiian Electric's net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $44.1 million, compared to $41.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, with the increase primarily driven by the following after-tax items:
- $7 million higher Annual Revenue Adjustment revenues;
- $1 million related solely to a change in the timing for revenue recognition within the year for Maui County operations 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; and
- $1 million in higher major project interim recovery revenues related to grid modernization.
These items were partially offset by the following after-tax items:
- $5 million in higher operations and maintenance expenses, including $6 million driven by more generating facility overhauls and maintenance performed and $1 million related to higher bad debt expense, partially offset by $2 million in lower expenses compared to last year from (i) last year's write-off due to termination of an agreement relating to a combined heat and power unit and (ii) higher 2021 expenses for environmental reserves;
- $1 million higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments to integrate more renewable energy and improve customer reliability and system efficiency; and
- $1 million in higher interest expense.
2 Note: Utility amounts indicated as after-tax in this earnings release are based upon adjusting items using a current year composite statutory tax rate of 25.75%.
AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK (ASB) EARNINGS
ASB's second quarter of 2022 net income was $17.5 million, compared to $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $30.3 million in second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income compared to the linked and prior year quarters primarily reflected a return to a more normalized provision due to strong loan growth, following five consecutive quarters of provision releases.
Total earning assets as of June 30, 2022 were $8.7 billion, up 2.6% from December 31, 2021.
Total loans were $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2022, up 4.2% from December 31, 2021, reflecting growth across nearly the entire portfolio and driven by strong growth in commercial real estate loans.
Total deposits were $8.3 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of 1.0% from December 31, 2021. For the second quarter of 2022, the average cost of funds was 0.05%, flat versus the linked quarter and down two basis points versus the same quarter last year.
ASB's return on average equity3 for the second quarter of 2022 was 12.2%, compared to 13.7% in the linked quarter and 16.8% in the second quarter of 2021. Return on average assets was 0.76% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 1.04% in the linked quarter and 1.38% in the same quarter last year.
In the second quarter of 2022, ASB paid dividends of $12.0 million to HEI. ASB had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.7% as of June 30, 2022.
3 Bank return on average equity calculated using daily average common equity.
HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies' net loss was $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The higher net loss was primarily due to higher interest expense, principally due to higher borrowings, and higher general and administrative expenses, including higher charitable contributions (due to timing), partially offset by increased charitable contribution expense in the second quarter of 2021 related to a settlement agreement associated with an executive transition.
BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On August 4, 2022, HEI announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, payable on September 9, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2022 (ex-dividend date is August 17, 2022). This quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.40 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 4, 2022 of $42.51, HEI's dividend yield is 3.3%.
