CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric) and their subsidiaries contain “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions and usually include words such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic, political and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:
international, national and local economic and political conditions—including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries; the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets (including the fair value and/or the actual performance of collateral underlying loans held by ASB, which could result in higher loan loss provisions and write-offs); decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii; the implications and potential impacts of future Federal government shutdowns, including the impact to our customers’ ability to pay their electric bills and/or bank loans and the impact on the state of Hawaii economy; the implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions; the potential impacts of global and local developments (including global economic conditions and uncertainties, unrest, terrorist acts, wars (such as the Russia-Ukraine war), conflicts, political protests, deadly virus epidemic or other crisis); the effects of changes that have or may occur in U.S. policy, such as with respect to immigration and trade; and pandemics;
the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration, spread, severity and any recurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic due to new variants or insufficient vaccinations, the duration and scope of related government orders and restrictions, the impact on our employees, customers and suppliers, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall demand or ability to pay for the Company’s goods and services, all of which could be affected by the pace of distribution, administration, and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines over the short- and long-term, as well as the proportion of the population vaccinated;
ability to adequately address risks and capitalize on opportunities related to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) priority areas, which currently include decarbonization, economic health and affordability, reliability and resilience, secure digitalization, diversity, equity and inclusion, employee engagement, and climate-related risks and opportunities;
citizen activism, including civil unrest, especially in times of severe economic depression and social divisiveness, which could negatively impact customers and employees, impair the ability of the Company and the Utilities to operate and maintain their facilities in an effective and safe manner, and citizen or stakeholder activism that could delay the construction, increase project costs or preclude the completion, of third-party or Utility projects that are required to meet electricity demand, resilience and reliability objectives and renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and other climate-related goals;
the effects of future actions or inaction of the U.S. government or related agencies, including those related to the U.S. debt ceiling or budget funding, monetary policy, trade policy and tariffs, energy and environmental policy, and other policy and regulatory changes advanced or proposed by President Biden and his administration;
weather, natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, lava flows and the increasing effects of climate change, such as more severe storms, flooding, droughts, heat waves, and rising sea levels) and wildfires, including their impact on the resilience and reliability and cost of the Company’s and Utilities’ operations and the economy;
the timing, speed and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, which could result in lower portfolio yields and net interest margin, or higher borrowing costs;
the ability of the Company and the Utilities to access the credit and capital markets (e.g., to obtain commercial paper and other short-term and long-term debt financing, including lines of credit, and, in the case of HEI, to issue common stock) under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the potential higher cost of such financings, if available;
the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension and other retirement plan assets and ASB’s securities available for sale, and the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension liabilities, including changes driven by interest rates and mortality improvements;
changes in laws, regulations (including tax regulations), market conditions, interest rates and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements;
increasing competition in the banking industry from traditional financial institutions as well as from non-traditional providers of financial services, including financial service subsidiaries of commercial and manufacturing companies (e.g., increased price competition for loans and deposits, or an outflow of deposits to alternative investments or platforms, which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s net interest margin and portfolio growth);
iv


the potential delay by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) renewable energy proposals and related costs; reliance by the Utilities on outside parties such as the state, independent power producers (IPPs) and developers; supply-chain challenges; and uncertainties surrounding technologies, solar power, wind power, biofuels, environmental assessments required to meet RPS and other climate-related goals; the impacts of implementation of the renewable energy proposals on future costs of electricity and potential penalties imposed by the PUC for delays in the commercial operations of renewable energy projects;
the ability of the Utilities to develop, implement and recover the costs of implementing the Utilities’ action plans included in their updated Power Supply Improvement Plans, Demand Response Portfolio Plan, Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan, Grid Modernization Plans, and business model changes, which have been and are continuing to be developed and updated in response to the orders issued by the PUC, the PUC’s April 2014 statement of its inclinations on the future of Hawaii’s electric utilities and the vision, business strategies and regulatory policy changes required to align the Utilities’ business model with customer interests and the state’s public policy goals, and subsequent orders of the PUC;
the ability of the Utilities to recover undepreciated cost of fossil fuel generating units, if they are required to be retired before the end of their expected useful life;
capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management, distributed generation, combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;
high and/or volatile fuel prices, which increases working capital requirements and customer bills, or delivery of adequate fuel by suppliers (including as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war), which could affect the reliability of utility operations, and the continued availability to the electric utilities of their energy cost recovery clauses (ECRCs);
the continued availability to the electric utilities or modifications of other cost recovery mechanisms, including the purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs), annual revenue adjustment (ARA) and pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, and the continued decoupling of revenues from sales to mitigate the effects of declining kilowatt-hour sales;
the ability of the Utilities to recover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by the annual revenue adjustment (ARA), while providing the customer dividend required by performance-based regulation (PBR);
the ability of the Utilities to achieve performance incentive goals currently in place;
the impact from the PUC’s implementation of PBR for the Utilities pursuant to Act 005, Session Laws 2018, including the potential addition of new performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs), third-party proposals adopted by the PUC in its implementation of PBR, and the implications of not achieving performance incentive goals;
the impact of fuel price levels and volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the Utilities;
the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;
the growing risk that energy production from renewable generating resources may be curtailed and the interconnection of additional resources will be constrained as more generating resources are added to the Utilities’ electric systems and as customers reduce their energy usage;
the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);
the potential that, as IPP contracts near the end of their terms, there may be less economic incentive for the IPPs to make investments in their units to ensure the availability of their units;
the ability of the Utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable agreements for significant resources such as fuel supply contracts and collective bargaining agreements and avoid or mitigate labor disputes and work stoppages;
new technological developments that could affect the operations and prospects of the Utilities and ASB or their competitors such as the commercial development of energy storage and microgrids and banking through alternative channels, including use of digital currencies, which could include a central bank digital currency;
cybersecurity risks and the potential for cyber incidents, including potential incidents at HEI, its third-party vendors, and its subsidiaries (including at ASB branches, electric utility plants and IPP-owned facilities) and incidents at data processing centers used, to the extent not prevented by intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-virus software, firewalls and other general IT controls;
failure to achieve remaining cost savings commitment related to the management audit committed savings of $33 million over the 2021 to 2025 multi-year rate period (MRP);
federal, state, county and international governmental and regulatory actions, such as existing, new and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI, the Utilities and ASB (including changes in taxation and tax rates, increases in capital requirements, regulatory policy changes, environmental laws and regulations (including resulting compliance costs and risks of fines and penalties and/or liabilities), the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, governmental fees and assessments (such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments), and potential carbon pricing or “cap and trade” legislation that may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation);
v


developments in laws, regulations and policies governing protections for historic, archaeological and cultural sites, and plant and animal species and habitats, as well as developments in the implementation and enforcement of such laws, regulations and policies;
discovery of conditions that may be attributable to historical chemical releases, including any necessary investigation and remediation, and any associated enforcement, litigation or regulatory oversight;
decisions by the PUC in rate cases and other proceedings (including the risks of delays in the timing of decisions, adverse changes in final decisions from interim decisions and the disallowance of project costs as a result of adverse regulatory audit reports or otherwise);
decisions by the PUC and by other agencies and courts on land use, environmental and other permitting issues (such as required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, such as with respect to environmental conditions or RPS);
potential enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and/or other governmental authorities (such as consent orders, required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, for example, with respect to compliance deficiencies under existing or new banking and consumer protection laws and regulations or with respect to capital adequacy);
the risks associated with the geographic concentration of HEI’s businesses and ASB’s loans, ASB’s concentration in a single product type (i.e., first mortgages) and ASB’s significant credit relationships (i.e., concentrations of large loans and/or credit lines with certain customers);
changes in accounting principles applicable to HEI and its subsidiaries, including the adoption of new U.S. accounting standards, the potential discontinuance of regulatory accounting related to PBR or other regulatory changes, the effects of potentially required consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs), or required finance lease or on-balance-sheet operating lease accounting for PPAs with IPPs;
downgrades by securities rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and their impact on results of financing efforts;
faster than expected loan prepayments that can cause a decrease in net interest income and portfolio yields, an acceleration of the amortization of premiums on loans and investments and the impairment of mortgage-servicing assets of ASB;
changes in ASB’s loan portfolio credit profile and asset quality and/or mix, which may increase or decrease the required level of provision for credit losses, allowance for credit losses (ACL) and charge-offs;
changes in ASB’s deposit cost or mix which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds;
unanticipated changes from the expected discontinuance of LIBOR and the transition to an alternative reference rate, which may include adverse impacts to the Company’s cost of capital, loan portfolio and interest income on loans;
the final outcome of tax positions taken by HEI and its subsidiaries;
the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured (e.g., damages to the Utilities’ transmission and distribution system and losses from business interruption) or underinsured (e.g., losses not covered as a result of insurance deductibles or other exclusions or exceeding policy limits), and the risks associated with the operation of transmission and distribution assets and power generation facilities, including public and employee safety issues, and assets causing or contributing to wildfires;
the ability of the Company’s non-regulated subsidiary, Pacific Current, LLC (Pacific Current), to achieve its performance and growth objectives, which in turn could affect its ability to service its non-recourse debt;
the Company’s reliance on third parties and the risk of their non-performance, which has increased due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
other risks or uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and in other reports (e.g., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K) previously and subsequently filed by HEI and/or Hawaiian Electric with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, HEI, Hawaiian Electric, ASB, Pacific Current and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral and whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1 · Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state consolidated HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s financial positions as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed below or in other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
Credit Losses. In March 2022, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” which eliminates the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments in this update also require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost.” Gross write-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures required for public business entities in accordance with paragraph 325-20-50-6, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit-quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASB is assessing the requirements of the ASU.

Intercompany electricity sales of the Utilities to ASB and “other” segments are not eliminated because those segments would need to purchase electricity from another source if it were not provided by the Utilities and the profit on such sales is nominal.
Hamakua Energy, LLC’s (Hamakua Energy’s) sales to Hawaii Electric Light (a regulated affiliate) are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3 · Electric utility segment
Unconsolidated variable interest entities.
Power purchase agreements.  As of March 31, 2022, the Utilities had five PPAs for firm capacity (including the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) PPA that went offline in May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island, but returned to service with firm capacity of 13.0 MW in the first quarter of 2021, ramped up to 23.9 MW in the second quarter of 2021, and continued to provide capacity at the same level to date) and other PPAs with independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or power production facilities who buy power from or sell power to the Utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs.
Pursuant to the current accounting standards for VIEs, the Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii) and Hamakua Energy by reason of the provisions of the PPA that the Utilities have with the three IPPs. However, management has concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy because the Utilities do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the three IPPs’ economic performance nor the obligation to absorb their expected losses, if any, that could potentially be significant to the IPPs. Thus, the Utilities have not consolidated Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy in its condensed consolidated financial statements. However, Hamakua Energy is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current and is consolidated in HEI’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the other PPAs with IPPs, the Utilities have concluded that the consolidation of the IPPs was not required because either the Utilities do not have variable interests in the IPPs due to the absence of an obligation in the PPAs for the Utilities to absorb any variability of the IPPs, or the IPP was considered a “governmental organization,” and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and, if such a consolidated IPP were operating at a loss and had insufficient equity, the potential recognition of such losses. If the Utilities determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, the Utilities would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs to the IPP.
Commitments and contingencies.
Contingencies. The Utilities are subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, the Utilities cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.
Power purchase agreements.  Purchases from all IPPs were as follows:

Kalaeloa Partners, L.P.  Under a 1988 PPA, as amended, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 208 MW of firm capacity from Kalaeloa. In October 2021, Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa signed the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement for Firm Dispatchable Capacity and Energy (Amended and Restated PPA) to extend the PPA for an additional term of 10 years. In November 2021, Hawaiian Electric submitted an application for approval of the Amended and Restated PPA to the PUC, which is pending approval before the PUC. The price of purchases from Kalaeloa in the first quarter of 2022 have increased 62% over the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased fuel oil cost.

Under a PPA entered into in March 1988, as amended (through Amended and Restated Amendment No. 4) for a period of 30 years ending September 2022, Hawaiian Electric agreed to purchase 180 MW of firm capacity from AES Hawaii. Hawaiian Electric does not intend to extend the term of the PPA which will expire on September 1, 2022.
Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC (Hu Honua). In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA, which the PUC approved in December 2013, with Hu Honua for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii. Under the terms of the PPA, the Hu Honua plant was scheduled to be in service in 2016. However, Hu Honua encountered construction and litigation delays, which resulted in an amended and restated PPA between Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua dated May 9, 2017. In July 2017, the PUC approved the amended and restated PPA, which becomes effective once the PUC’s order is final and non-appealable. In August 2017, the PUC’s approval was appealed by a third party. On May 10, 2019, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a decision remanding the matter to the PUC for further proceedings consistent with the court’s decision, which must include express consideration of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that would result from approving the PPA, whether the cost of energy under the PPA is reasonable in light of the potential for GHG emissions, and whether the terms of the PPA are prudent and in the public interest, in light of its potential hidden and long-term consequences. As a result, the PUC reopened the docket for further proceedings, including re-examining all of the issues in the proceedings. On July 9, 2020, the PUC issued an order denying Hawaii Electric Light’s request to waive the amended and restated PPA from the PUC’s competitive bidding requirements and therefore, dismissed the request for approval of the amended and restated PPA without prejudice to possible participation in any future competitive bidding process. On September 9, 2020, the PUC denied Hu Honua’s motion for reconsideration of the PUC’s order. Hu Honua filed its notice of appeal to the Hawaii Supreme Court of the PUC’s order denying Hu Honua’s motion for reconsideration. On May 24, 2021, the Hawaii Supreme Court vacated the PUC’s decision and remanded the matter back to the PUC for further proceedings. On June 30, 2021, the PUC issued an order reopening the docket consistent with the Hawaii Supreme Court’s order. A contested case hearing was held in March 2022. The matter is currently with the PUC for decision making.
Molokai New Energy Partners (MNEP). In July 2018, the PUC approved Maui Electric’s PPA with MNEP to purchase solar energy from a photovoltaic (PV) plus battery storage project. The 4.88 MW PV and 3 MW Battery Energy Storage System project was to deliver no more than 2.64 MW at any time to the Molokai system. On March 25, 2020, MNEP filed a complaint in the United Stated District Court for the District of Hawaii against Maui Electric claiming breach of contract. On June 3, 2020, Maui Electric provided Notice of Default and Termination of the PPA to MNEP terminating the PPA with an effective date of July 10, 2020. Thereafter, MNEP filed an amended Complaint to include claims relating to the termination and Hawaiian Electric filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint on September 11, 2020, disputing the facts presented by MNEP and all claims within the original and amended complaint. Currently, the discovery phase is ongoing.
Fuels barging contract. On August 23, 2021, the Utilities entered into a five-year inter-island fuel transportation contract with Sause Bros., Inc. On December 23, 2021, the PUC issued an interim D&O approving the inter-island fuels transportation contract and recovery of associated costs on an interim basis. The interim decision is effective until the PUC issues its final D&O in the proceeding. The Utility recorded a lease liability of $32 million in connection with the contract, which commenced in January 2022 with an estimated annual base rent of $6.2 million.
Utility projects.  Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits or community support can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if PUC-imposed caps on project costs are expected to be exceeded, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.
Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM) implementation project. The ERP/EAM Implementation Project went live in October 2018. Hawaii Electric Light and Hawaiian Electric began to incorporate their portion of the deferred project costs in rate base and started the amortization over a 12-year period in January 2020 and November 2020, respectively. The PUC required a minimum of $246 million ERP/EAM project-related benefit to be delivered to customers over the system’s 12-year service life.
In February 2019, the PUC approved a methodology for passing the future cost saving benefits of the new ERP/EAM system to customers developed by the Utilities in collaboration with the Consumer Advocate. The Utilities filed a benefits clarification document on June 10, 2019, reflecting $150 million in future net O&M expense reductions and cost avoidance, and $96 million in capital cost reductions and tax savings over the 12-year service life. To the extent the reduction in O&M expense relates to amounts reflected in electric rates, the Utilities would reduce future rates for such amounts. In October 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate’s Stipulated Performance Metrics and Tracking Mechanism. As of March 31, 2022, the Utilities’ regulatory liability was $9.1 million ($5.1 million for Hawaiian Electric, $1.6 million for Hawaii

Electric Light and $2.4 million for Maui Electric) for the O&M expense savings that are being amortized or to be included in future rates. As part of the settlement agreement approved in the Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case, the regulatory liability for Hawaiian Electric will be amortized over five years, beginning in November 2020, and the O&M benefits for Hawaiian Electric was considered flowed through to customers.
On July 7, 2021, the PUC issued an order modifying the reporting frequency of the Semi-Annual Enterprise System Benefits (SAESB) reports to an Annual Enterprise System Benefits (AESB) report on the achieved benefits savings. The most recent SAESB report was filed on February 14, 2022 for the period January 1 through December 31, 2021.
Environmental regulation.  The Utilities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances.
Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, periodically encounter petroleum or other chemical releases associated with current or previous operations. The Utilities report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. The Utilities believe the costs of responding to such releases identified to date will not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Former Molokai Electric Company generation site.  In 1989, Maui Electric acquired Molokai Electric Company. Molokai Electric Company had sold its former generation site (Site) in 1983, but continued to operate at the Site under a lease until 1985 and left the property in 1987. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since identified environmental impacts in the subsurface soil at the Site. In cooperation with the Department of Health of State of Hawaii (DOH) and EPA, Maui Electric further investigated the Site and the adjacent parcel to determine the extent of impacts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), residual fuel oils and other subsurface contaminants. Maui Electric has a reserve balance of $2.7 million as of March 31, 2022, representing the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for remediation of the Site and the adjacent parcel based on presently available information; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the cleanup approach implemented.
Additionally, on November 24, 2021, the current landowners of the Site, Misaki’s, Inc., filed a lawsuit against Hawaiian Electric (as alleged successor in interest to Molokai Electric, the prior owner of the Site) in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit of the State of Hawaii (removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii). The complaint which was subsequently amended to include Maui Electric, alleges that Hawaiian Electric is responsible for remediation of the Site based on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), and the Hawaii Environmental Response Law under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 128D, as well as being liable on contractual claims related to a short leaseback period during the transition of ownership from Molokai Electric. At this time, the Utilities are unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit or the amount of any possible loss. The Utilities intend to vigorously defend the action.
Pearl Harbor sediment study. In July 2014, the U.S. Navy notified Hawaiian Electric of the Navy’s determination that Hawaiian Electric is a Potentially Responsible Party under CERCLA responsible for the costs of investigation and cleanup of PCB contamination in sediment in the area offshore of the Waiau Power Plant as part of the Pearl Harbor Superfund Site. Hawaiian Electric was also required by the EPA to assess potential sources and extent of PCB contamination onshore at Waiau Power Plant.
As of March 31, 2022, the reserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $10.1 million. The reserve balance represents the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for the onshore and offshore investigation and remediation. The final remediation costs will depend on the actual onshore and offshore cleanup costs.
Regulatory proceedings
Decoupling. Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to provide the Utilities with financial stability and facilitate meeting the State of Hawaii’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. Decoupling delinks the utility’s revenues from the utility’s sales, removing the disincentive to promote energy efficiency and accept more renewable energy. Decoupling continues under the PBR Framework.
Performance-based regulation framework. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) establishing a new PBR Framework to govern the Utilities. The PBR Framework incorporates an annual revenue adjustment (ARA) and a suite of new regulatory mechanisms in addition to previously established regulatory mechanisms. Under the PBR Framework, the decoupling mechanism (i.e., the Revenue Balancing Account (RBA)) established by the previous regulatory framework will
15


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
continue. The existing cost recovery mechanisms will continue as currently implemented (i.e., the Energy Cost Recovery Clause (ECRC), Purchased Power Adjustment Clause (PPAC), Demand Side Management surcharge (DSM), Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP), Demand Response Adjustment Clause (DRAC), Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) tracking mechanisms). In addition to annual revenues provided by the ARA, the Utilities may seek relief for extraordinary projects or programs through the Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) (formerly known as the Major Project Interim Recovery adjustment mechanism) and earn financial rewards for exemplary performance as provided through a portfolio of Performance Incentive Mechanisms (PIMs) and Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs). The PBR Framework incorporates a variety of additional performance mechanisms, including Scorecards, Reported Metrics, and an expedited Pilot Process. The PBR Framework also contains a number of safeguards, including a symmetric Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM) which protects the Utilities and customers from excessive earnings or losses, as measured by the Utilities’ achieved rate-making ROACE and a Re-Opener mechanism, under which the PUC will open an examination, at its discretion, to determine if adjustments or modifications to specific PBR mechanisms are appropriate. The new PBR Framework became fully effective on June 1, 2021.
On September 17, 2021, the PUC issued an order introducing the PUC staff’s proposal for the development of new PIMs to address the following areas of concern:
Grid reliability,
Timely retirement of fossil fuel generation units,
Interconnection of large-scale renewable energy projects,
Cost control for fossil fuel, purchased power, and other non-ARA costs, and
Expedient utilization of grid services from demand-side resources
The order also established a procedural schedule, including technical conferences, statements of position, and a PUC hearing, to govern the PBR Working Group’s review and development of the new PIMs. On March 10, 2022, the PUC issued an order modifying the procedural schedule. In accordance with the modified procedural schedule, the PBR Parties filed final statements of position on April 8, 2022. The PUC hearing was held on April 26 to 27, 2022.
Revenue adjustment mechanism. Prior to the implementation of the PBR Framework, the RAM was a major component of the previously established regulatory framework. The RAM was based on the lesser of: a) an inflationary adjustment for certain O&M expenses and return on investment for certain rate base changes, or b) cumulative annual compounded increase in Gross Domestic Product Price Index applied to annualized target revenues (the RAM Cap). All Utilities were limited to the RAM Cap in 2020. Under the PBR Framework, the ARA mechanism replaced the RAM, and became effective on June 1, 2021. RAM revenue adjustments approved by the PUC in 2020 will continue to be included in the RBA provision’s target revenue and RBA rate adjustment unless modified with PUC approval.
Annual revenue adjustment mechanism. The PBR Framework established a five-year multi-year rate period during which there will be no general rate cases. Target revenues will be adjusted according to an index-driven ARA based on (i) an inflation factor, (ii) a predetermined X-factor to encompass productivity, which is set at zero, (iii) a Z-factor to account for exceptional circumstances not in the Utilities’ control and (iv) a customer dividend consisting of a negative adjustment of 0.22% of adjusted revenue requirements compounded annually and a flow through of the “pre-PBR” savings commitment from the management audit recommendations developed in a prior docket at a rate of $6.6 million per year from 2021 to 2025. The implementation of the ARA occurred on June 1, 2021.
Earnings sharing mechanism. A symmetrical ESM for achieved rate-making ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead band above or below the current authorized ROACE of 9.5% for each of the Utilities. There is a 50/50 sharing between customers and Utilities for the achieved rate-making ROACE falling within 150 basis points outside of the dead band in either direction, and a 90/10 sharing for any further difference. A reopening or review of the PBR terms will be triggered if the Utilities credit rating outlook indicates a potential credit downgrade below investment grade status, or if its achieved rate-making ROACE enters the outer most tier of the ESM.
Exceptional project recovery mechanism. Prior to the implementation of the PBR Framework, the PUC established the Major Project Interim Recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism and MPIR Guidelines. The MPIR mechanism provides the opportunity to recover revenues for net costs of approved eligible projects placed in service between general rate cases. In establishing the PBR Framework, the MPIR Guidelines were terminated and replaced with the EPRM Guidelines. Although the MPIR Guidelines were terminated and replaced by the EPRM Guidelines, the MPIR mechanism will continue within the PBR Framework to provide recovery of project costs previously approved for recovery under the MPIR. The newly established EPRM Guidelines permit the Utilities to include the full amount of approved costs in the EPRM for recovery in the first year the project goes into service, pro-rated for the portion of the year the project is in service. Deferred and O&M expense projects
16


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
are also eligible for EPRM recovery under the EPRM Guidelines. EPRM recoverable costs will be limited to the lesser of actual incurred project costs or PUC‑approved amounts, net of savings.
As of March 31, 2022, the Utilities submitted 2022 MPIR amounts totaling $25.9 million, including revenue taxes, for the Schofield Generating Station ($16.5 million), West Loch PV Project ($3.3 million), and Grid Modernization Strategy (GMS) Phase 1 project ($6.1 million for all three utilities) for the accrual of revenues effective January 1, 2022, that included the 2022 return on project amount (based on approved amounts) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses. Subject to PUC approval, the Utilities will begin recovery of the annualized 2022 MPIR amounts effective June 1, 2022 through the RBA rate adjustment.
As of March 31, 2022, the PUC approved two EPRM projects totaling $41 million to the extent that the project costs are not included in rates. Currently, the Utilities are seeking EPRM recovery of five projects with total project costs of $264 million, subject to PUC approval.
Pilot process. The PBR D&O approved a Pilot Process to foster innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that test new technologies, programs, business models, and other arrangements. This is intended to support initiatives by the Utilities to test new programs and ideas quickly and elevate any successful pilots for consideration of full-scale implementation. The proposed pilots would be subject to PUC approval with a total annual cap of $10 million. The Pilot Process will feature the two primary activities: an initial “Workplan Development” phase, during which the Utilities identify and scope areas of interests, so as to inform the subsequent “Implementation” phase, during which the Utilities submit specific pilot proposals for expedited review by the PUC and implement the pilot upon approval. The PUC will issue an order, approving, denying, or modifying a proposed Pilot within 45 days of receiving notice of a specific pilot project.
On July 9, 2021, the PUC issued an order approving the Utilities’ proposed Pilot Process submitted in April 2021 with modifications, including a cost recovery process that generally allows the Utilities to defer and recover total annual expenditures of approved pilot projects in full over twelve months beginning June 1 of the year following implementation through the RBA rate adjustment, although the Utilities may determine on a case-by-case basis that a particular project’s deferred costs should be amortized over a period greater than twelve months. On July 28, 2021, the Utilities submitted the finalized Pilot Process to govern the review of the pilot project proposals in accordance with the July 9, 2021 order.
On November 12, 2021, the Utilities requested PUC approval of their proposed Pilot Process Workplan to guide the development of pilot projects over the next three years. A PUC order on the Workplan is pending.
On February 28, 2022, the Utilities filed their first annual Pilot Update report covering pilot projects approved through the Pilot Process framework. The Pilot Update reported on approximately $0.1 million of 2021 deferred costs to be reviewed by the PUC in their review of the Utilities’ proposed adjustments to target revenue in the 2022 spring revenue report.
Performance incentive mechanisms. The PUC has established the following PIMs: (1) Service Quality performance incentives, (2) Phase 1 Request for proposal (RFP) PIM for procurement of low-cost renewable energy, (3) Phase 2 RFP PIMs for generation and generation plus storage project, and Grid Services and standalone storage, (4) new PIMs established in the PBR D&O.
Service Quality performance incentives (ongoing). Service Quality performance incentives are measured on a calendar-year basis. The PIM tariff requires the performance targets, deadbands and the amount of maximum financial incentives used to determine the PIM financial incentive levels for each of the PIMs to remain constant in interim periods, unless otherwise amended by order of the PUC.
Service Reliability Performance measured by System Average Interruption Duration and Frequency Indexes (penalties only). Target performance is based on each utility’s historical 10-year average performance with a deadband of one standard deviation. The maximum penalty for each performance index is 20 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties of approximately $6.8 million - for both indices in total for the three utilities). For the 2021 evaluation period, the Utilities earned $0.2 million in penalties.
Call Center Performance measured by the percentage of calls answered within 30 seconds. Target performance is based on the annual average performance for each utility for the most recent 8 quarters with a deadband of 3% above and below the target. The maximum penalty or reward is 8 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties or rewards of approximately $1.4 million - in total for the three utilities).
Phase 1 RFP PIM. Procurement of low-cost variable renewable resources through the RFP process in 2018 is measured by comparison of the procurement price to target prices. Half of the incentive was earned upon PUC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
approval of the PPAs. Based on the seven PPAs approved in 2019, the Utilities recognized $1.7 million in 2019 with the remaining award to be recognized in the year following the in-service date of the projects, which is estimated to occur from 2023 to 2024.
Phase 2 RFP PIMs. The PUC order issued on October 9, 2019 establishes pricing thresholds, timelines to complete contracting, and other performance criteria for the performance incentive eligibility. The PIMs provide incentives only without penalties. On July 9, 2020, the Utilities filed two Grid Services Purchase Agreements (GSPA) for the Grid Service RFP that potentially qualify for a demand response PIM; however, details of the incentive metrics will be determined by the PUC. On September 15, 2020, the Utilities filed a PPA that qualified for a PIM incentive and on February 16, 2021, the Utilities filed one additional PPA that qualified for a declining PIM incentive. The PUC approved two PPAs in September 2021 and November 2021 and two GSPAs on December 31, 2020. For the 2021 evaluation period, the Utilities earned $0.1 million in rewards related to the two PPAs.
The PUC established the following two new PIMs in its PBR D&O, which were approved in an order issued on March 23, 2021 and became effective on June 1, 2021.
Renewable portfolio standard (RPS)-A PIM that provides a financial reward for accelerating the achievement of RPS goals. The Utilities may earn a reward for the amount of system generation above the interpolated statutory RPS goal at $20/MWh in 2021 and 2022, $15/MWh in 2023, and $10/MWh for the remainder of the multi-year rate period (MRP). Penalties are already prescribed in the RPS as $20/MWh for failing to meet RPS targets in 2030, 2040 and 2045. The evaluation period commenced on January 1, 2021. For the 2021 evaluation period, the Utilities earned $1.0 million in rewards.
Grid Services Procurement PIM that provides financial rewards for grid services acquired in 2021 and 2022. The Utilities can earn a total maximum reward of $1.5 million over 2021 and 2022. The evaluation period commenced on January 1, 2021.
The PUC also established the following three new PIMs in its PBR D&O, which were approved by the PUC on May 17, 2021 and became effective on June 1, 2021.
Interconnection Approval PIM that provides financial rewards and penalties for interconnection times for distributed energy resources systems <100 kW in size. The Utilities can earn a total annual maximum reward of $3.0 million or a total annual maximum penalty of $0.9 million. For the 2021 evaluation period, the Utilities earned $2.8 million in rewards.
Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) Energy Efficiency PIM that provides financial reward for collaboration between the Utilities and the third-party Public Benefits Fee Administrator to deliver energy savings for low- and moderate-income customers. The Utilities can earn a total annual maximum reward of $2.0 million. The PIM will initially have a duration of three years and be subject to an annual review. The evaluation period is based on Hawaii Energy’s program year with the initial evaluation year being the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure Utilization PIM that provides financial rewards for leveraging grid modernization investments and engaging customers beyond what is already planned in the Phase 1 Grid Modernization program. The Utilities can earn a total annual maximum reward of $2.0 million. The PIM will initially have a duration of three years after which it will be re-evaluated. The evaluation period commenced on January 1, 2021.
For the 2021 evaluation period, the Utilities accrued $3.7 million ($2.8 million for Hawaiian Electric, $0.4 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $0.5 million for Maui Electric) in rewards net of penalties. The net rewards related to 2021 were reflected in the 2021 fall revenue report and 2022 spring revenue report filings.
Annual review cycle. PBR D&O established an annual review cycle for revenue adjustments under the PBR Framework, including the biannual submission of the revenue reports. The Utilities filed the spring revenue report on March 31, 2022, which is subject to PUC approval.

The net incremental amounts between the 2021 fall and 2022 spring revenue reports are proposed to be collected (refunded) from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023 as follows:

Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs. On May 4, 2020, the PUC issued an order, authorizing all utilities, including the Utilities, to establish regulatory assets to record costs resulting from the suspension of disconnections of service during the pendency of the Governor’s Emergency Proclamation and until otherwise ordered by the PUC. In future proceedings, the PUC will consider the reasonableness of the costs, the appropriate period of recovery, any amount of carrying costs thereon, and any savings directly attributable to suspension of disconnects, and other related matters. As part of the order, the PUC prohibits the Utilities from charging late payment fees on past due payments. As the moratorium on customer disconnections ended on May 31, 2021, the Utilities have resumed charging late payment fees in July 2021. Pursuant to PUC orders, the deferral of COVID-19 related costs by the Utilities ended on December 31, 2020. On October 1, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to extend the deferral period to December 31, 2021. In December 2021, to keep customers connected and provide some relief to customers experiencing financial difficulty during the pandemic, the Utilities committed to issuing $2 million in bill credits to qualified customers. The Utilities will not seek recovery for the issued bill credits, resulting in a reduction to the cumulative deferred costs. As of March 31, 2022, the Utilities had recorded a total of $27.8 million in regulatory assets pursuant to the orders.
Condensed consolidating financial information. Condensed consolidating financial information for Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries are presented for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Bank-owned life insurance is life insurance purchased by ASB on the lives of certain key employees, with ASB as the beneficiary. The insurance is used to fund employee benefits through tax-free income from increases in the cash value of the policies and insurance proceeds paid to ASB upon an insured’s death.
Other borrowings consisted of securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $137.4 million and $88.3 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

ASB does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, represent a credit loss. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to change in market conditions. On a quarterly basis the investment securities are evaluated for changes in financial condition of the issuer. Based upon ASB’s evaluation, all securities held within the investment portfolio continue to be investment grade by one or more agencies. The contractual cash flows of the U.S. Treasury, federal agency obligations and agency mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit guaranty of the United States government or an agency of the government. ASB does not intend to sell the securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis and there have been no adverse changes in the timing of the contractual cash flows for the securities. ASB’s investment securities portfolio did not require an allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
U.S. Treasury, federal agency obligations, corporate bonds, and mortgage revenue bonds have contractual terms to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms to maturity, but require periodic payments to reduce principal.

ASB's policy is to require private mortgage insurance on all real estate loans when the loan-to-value ratio of the property exceeds 80% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price at origination. For non-owner occupied residential property purchases, the loan-to-value ratio may not exceed 75% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price at origination.

Credit quality.  ASB performs an internal loan review and grading on an ongoing basis. The review provides management with periodic information as to the quality of the loan portfolio and effectiveness of its lending policies and procedures. The objectives of the loan review and grading procedures are to identify, in a timely manner, existing or emerging credit trends so that appropriate steps can be initiated to manage risk and avoid or minimize future losses. Loans subject to grading include commercial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans.
Each commercial and commercial real estate loan is assigned an Asset Quality Rating (AQR) reflecting the likelihood of repayment or orderly liquidation of that loan transaction pursuant to regulatory credit classifications:  Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. The AQR is a function of the probability of default model rating, the loss given default, and possible non-model factors which impact the ultimate collectability of the loan such as character of the business owner/guarantor, interim period performance, litigation, tax liens and major changes in business and economic conditions. Pass exposures generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral. Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, could jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that ASB may sustain some loss. An asset classified Doubtful has the weaknesses of those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. An asset classified Loss is considered uncollectible and has such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.

ASB did not recognize interest on nonaccrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Troubled debt restructurings.  A loan modification is deemed to be a TDR when the borrower is determined to be experiencing financial difficulties and ASB grants a concession it would not otherwise consider.
The allowance for credit losses on TDR loans that do not share risk characteristics are individually evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective original contractual rate or based on the fair value of collateral less cost to sell. The financial impact of the estimated loss is an increase to the allowance associated with the modified loan. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible (confirmed losses), these amounts are charged off against the allowance for credit losses.
There were no loan modifications that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Loan modifications that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows:

1 The period end balances reflect all paydowns and charge-offs since the modification period. TDRs fully paid off, charged-off, or foreclosed upon by period end are not included.

There were no loans modified in TDRs that experienced a payment default of 90 days or more during the first three months of 2022 and 2021.
If a loan modified in a TDR subsequently defaults, ASB evaluates the loan for further impairment. Based on its evaluation, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. Commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in a TDR totaled nil at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the FRB, the FDIC, the National Credit Union Administration, the OCC, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020). Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to accounting for loan modifications, past due reporting and nonaccrual status and charge-offs.
Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. The agencies confirmed with the FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payment. Financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement. If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral. Lastly, during short-term COVID-19 modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual or as classified.
Collateral-dependent loans. A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Loans considered collateral-dependent were as follows:

ASB had $4.0 million and $3.4 million of mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). In its mortgage banking business, ASB sells residential mortgage loans to government-sponsored entities and other parties, who may issue securities backed by pools of such loans. ASB retains no beneficial interests in these loans other than the servicing rights of certain loans sold.
ASB received proceeds from the sale of residential mortgages of $75.6 million and $170.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and recognized gains on such sales of $1.1 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
There were no repurchased mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Mortgage servicing fees, a component of other income, net, were $0.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

ASB capitalizes MSRs acquired upon the sale of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. On a monthly basis, ASB compares the net carrying value of the MSRs to its fair value to determine if there are any changes to the valuation allowance and/or other-than-temporary impairment for the MSRs.
ASB uses a present value cash flow model to estimate the fair value of MSRs. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum when the carrying amount exceeds fair value, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing fees included in “Revenues - bank” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. A direct write-down is recorded when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is deemed to be unrecoverable.
Key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of ASB’s MSRs used in the impairment analysis were as follows:
(dollars in thousands)March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Unpaid principal balance$1,488,591 $1,481,899 
Weighted average note rate3.34 %3.38 %
Weighted average discount rate9.25 %9.25 %
Weighted average prepayment speed7.06 %9.77 %

The sensitivity analysis of fair value of MSRs to hypothetical adverse changes of 25 and 50 basis points in certain key assumptions was as follows:
(dollars in thousands)March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Prepayment rate:
  25 basis points adverse rate change$(360)$(714)
  50 basis points adverse rate change(809)(1,608)
Discount rate:
  25 basis points adverse rate change(160)(129)
  50 basis points adverse rate change(318)(256)
The effect of a variation in certain assumptions on fair value is calculated without changing any other assumptions. This analysis typically cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the changes in the fair value of MSRs typically is not linear.
Other borrowings.  As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ASB had no FHLB advances outstanding or federal funds purchased with the Federal Reserve Bank. ASB was in compliance with all Advances, Pledge and Security Agreement requirements as of March 31, 2022.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase these securities are recorded as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ASB pledges investment securities as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase. All such agreements are subject to master netting

The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase are book-entry securities and were delivered by appropriate entry into the counterparties’ accounts or into segregated tri-party custodial accounts at the FHLB. The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase continue to be reflected in ASB’s asset accounts.
Derivative financial instruments. ASB enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with borrowers, and forward commitments to sell loans or to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities to investors to hedge against the inherent interest rate and pricing risks associated with selling loans.
ASB enters into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit ASB to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose ASB to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in mortgage banking income.
ASB enters into forward commitments to hedge the interest rate risk for rate locked mortgage applications in process and closed mortgage loans held for sale. These commitments are primarily forward sales of to-be-announced mortgage backed securities. Generally, when mortgage loans are closed, the forward commitment is liquidated and replaced with a mandatory delivery forward sale of the mortgage to a secondary market investor. In some cases, a best-efforts forward sale agreement is utilized as the forward commitment. These commitments are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in mortgage banking income.
Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and forward commitments subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

These unfunded commitments were unconditional and legally binding and are recorded in other liabilities with a corresponding increase in other assets. As of March 31, 2022, ASB did not have any impairment losses resulting from forfeiture or ineligibility of tax credits or other circumstances related to its LIHTC investment partnerships.
Note 5 · Credit agreements
On May 14, 2021, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a separate agreement with a syndicate of nine financial institutions (the HEI Facility and Hawaiian Electric Facility, respectively, and together, the Credit Facilities) to amend and restate their respective previously existing revolving unsecured credit agreements. The $175 million HEI Facility and $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility both terminate on May 14, 2026. On February 18, 2022, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s request to extend the term of the $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility to May 14, 2026. In addition to extending the term, Hawaiian Electric also received PUC approval to exercise its options of two one-year extensions of the commitment termination date and to increase its aggregate revolving commitment amount from $200 million to $275 million, should there be a need.
None of the facilities are collateralized. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facilities.
The Credit Facilities will be maintained to support each company’s respective short-term commercial paper program, but may be drawn on to meet each company’s respective working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no material remaining performance obligations due to the nature of the Company’s contracts with its customers. For the Utilities, performance obligations are fulfilled as electricity is delivered to customers. For ASB, fees are recognized when a transaction is completed.
Note 8 · Retirement benefits
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information.  For the first three months of 2022, the Company contributed $10 million ($10 million by the Utilities) to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans, compared to $9 million ($9 million by the Utilities) in the first three months of 2021. The Company’s current estimate of total contributions to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2022 is $41 million ($41 million by the Utilities), compared to $52 million ($51 million by the Utilities) in 2021. In addition, the Company expects to pay directly $3 million ($1 million by the Utilities) of benefits in 2022, compared to $1 million ($1 million by the Utilities) paid in 2021.

HEI consolidated recorded retirement benefits expense of $12 million ($12 million by the Utilities) in the first three months of 2022 and $11 million ($12 million by the Utilities) in the first three months of 2021 and charged the remaining net periodic benefit cost primarily to electric utility plant.
The Utilities have implemented pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms under which all of their retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses) determined in accordance with GAAP are recovered over time. Under the tracking mechanisms, any actual costs determined in accordance with GAAP that are over/under amounts allowed in rates are charged/credited to a regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset/liability for each utility will then be amortized over 5 years beginning with the respective utility’s next rate case.
Defined contribution plans information.  For the first three months of 2022 and 2021, the Company’s expenses for its defined contribution plans under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP) and the ASB 401(k) Plan were $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and cash contributions were $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the first three months of 2022 and 2021, the Utilities’ expenses and cash contributions for its defined contribution plan under the HEIRSP were $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
43


Retirement benefit plan changes. On December 3, 2021, the Utilities’ union members ratified a new collective bargaining
agreement, which includes changes to retirement benefits for all new employees commencing employment on or
after January 1, 2022. The changes ratified in the collective bargaining agreement will apply to all employees of HEI and the
Utilities first hired on or after January 1, 2022 (New Employees). New Employees are not eligible to participate in the HEI
Pension Plan. Instead, New Employees will receive a non-elective employer contribution, equal to 10% of their annual
compensation, subject to a vesting schedule, to their account under the HEIRSP, the defined contribution plan for HEI and the
Utilities. Only New Employees are impacted by the retirement benefit plan changes. There are no retirement benefit plan
changes for employees hired on or before December 31, 2021.
Note 9 · Share-based compensation
Under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended, HEI can issue shares of common stock as incentive compensation to selected employees in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and other share-based and cash-based awards. The 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (original EIP) was amended and restated effective March 1, 2014 (EIP) and an additional 1.5 million shares were added to the shares available for issuance under these programs.
As of March 31, 2022, approximately 2.8 million shares remained available for future issuance under the terms of the EIP, assuming recycling of shares withheld to satisfy statutory tax liabilities relating to EIP awards, including an estimated 0.6 million shares that could be issued upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the achievement of performance goals for awards outstanding under long-term incentive plans (assuming that such performance goals are achieved at maximum levels).
Under the 2011 Nonemployee Director Stock Plan (2011 Director Plan), HEI can issue shares of common stock as compensation to nonemployee directors of HEI, Hawaiian Electric and ASB. As of March 31, 2022, there were 244,347 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2011 Director Plan.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $7.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Long-term incentive plan payable in stock.  The 2020-22, 2021-23 and 2022-24 long-term incentive plans (LTIP) provide for performance awards under the EIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals, including a market condition goal. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made, subject to the achievement of specified performance levels and calculated dividend equivalents. The potential payout varies from 0% to 200% of the number of target shares, depending on the achievement of the goals. The market condition goal is based on HEI’s total shareholder return (TSR) compared to the Edison Electric Institute Index over the relevant three-year period. The other performance condition goals relate to EPS growth, return on average common equity (ROACE), renewable portfolio standards, carbon emissions reduction, Hawaiian Electric’s net income growth, ASB’s efficiency ratio and strategic initiatives and Pacific Current’s EBITDA growth and return on average invested capital.
LTIP linked to TSR.  Information about HEI’s LTIP grants linked to TSR was as follows:

(1)    Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
The grant date fair values of the shares were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing actual information for the common shares of HEI and its peers for the period from the beginning of the performance period to the grant date and estimated future stock volatility of HEI and its peers over the remaining three-year performance period. The expected stock volatility assumptions for HEI and its peer group were based on the three-year historic stock volatility. A dividend assumption is not required for the Monte Carlo simulation because the grant payout includes dividend equivalents and projected returns include the value of reinvested dividends.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the LTIP awards linked to TSR and the resulting fair value of LTIP awards granted:

Note 10 · Income taxes
The Company’s and the Utilities’ effective tax rates (combined federal and state income tax rates) were 20% and 21%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These rates differed from the combined statutory rates, due primarily to the Utilities’ amortization of excess deferred income taxes related to the provision in the Tax Act that lowered the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, the tax benefits derived from the low income housing tax credit investments and the non-taxability of the bank-owned life insurance income. The Company’s and the Utilities’ effective tax rates were 19% and 20%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
In August 2020, the Internal Revenue Service notified the Company that its 2017 and 2018 income tax returns would be examined. The Company was previously audited every year through 2011, at which time the IRS changed their internal policies regarding audit frequency. The audit is still in progress and the Company has responded to all information requests received. The Company has not been notified of any material audit adjustments to date.

Note 12 · Fair value measurements
Fair value measurement and disclosure valuation methodology. The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Short-term borrowings—other than bank.  The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment securities. The fair value of ASB’s investment securities is determined quarterly through pricing obtained from independent third-party pricing services or from brokers not affiliated with the trade. Non-binding broker quotes are infrequent and generally occur for new securities that are settled close to the month-end pricing date. The third-party pricing vendors ASB uses for pricing its securities are reputable firms that provide pricing services on a global basis and have processes in place to ensure quality and control. The third-party pricing services use a variety of methods to determine the fair value of securities that fall under Level 2 of ASB’s fair value measurement hierarchy. Among the considerations are quoted prices for similar securities in an active market, yield spreads for similar trades, adjustments for liquidity, size, collateral characteristics, historic and generic prepayment speeds, and other observable market factors.
To enhance the robustness of the pricing process, ASB will on a quarterly basis compare its standard third-party vendor’s price with that of another third-party vendor. If the prices are within an acceptable tolerance range, the price of the standard vendor will be accepted. If the variance is beyond the tolerance range, an evaluation will be conducted by ASB and a challenge to the price may be made. Fair value in such cases will be based on the value that best reflects the data and observable characteristics of the security. In all cases, the fair value used will have been independently determined by a third-party pricing vendor or non-affiliated broker.
The fair value of the mortgage revenue bonds is estimated using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of future principal and interest payments and, therefore is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
47


Loans held for sale. Residential and commercial loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and are valued using market observable pricing inputs, which are derived from third party loan sales and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans held for investment. Fair value of loans held for investment is derived using a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the underlying loan characteristics. The valuation model uses loan characteristics which includes product type, maturity dates and the underlying interest rate of the portfolio. This information is input into the valuation models along with various forecast valuation assumptions including prepayment forecasts, to determine the discount rate. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party sources. Since the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, ASB includes loans held for investment within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Collateral dependent loans. Collateral dependent loans have been adjusted to fair value. When a loan is identified as collateral dependent, the Company measures the impairment using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. Depending on the characteristics of a loan, the fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals, but in some cases, the value of the collateral may be estimated as having little or no value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. If it is determined that the value of the collateral dependent loan is less than its recorded investment, the Company recognizes this impairment and adjusts the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for credit losses.
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Foreclosed assets are carried at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) and are generally based upon appraisals or independent market prices that are periodically updated subsequent to classification as real estate owned. Such adjustments typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. ASB estimates the fair value of collateral-dependent loans and real estate owned using the sales comparison approach.
Mortgage servicing rights. MSRs are capitalized at fair value based on market data at the time of sale and accounted for in subsequent periods at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs are evaluated for impairment at each reporting date. ASB's MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type and note rate. For each stratum, fair value is calculated by discounting expected net income streams using discount rates that reflect industry pricing for similar assets. Expected net income streams are estimated based on industry assumptions regarding prepayment expectations and income and expenses associated with servicing residential mortgage loans for others. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum when the carrying amount exceeds fair value, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing fees included in "Revenues - bank" in the consolidated statements of income. A direct write-down is recorded when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is deemed to be unrecoverable. ASB compares the fair value of MSRs to an estimated value calculated by an independent third-party. The third-party relies on both published and unpublished sources of market related assumptions and its own experience and expertise to arrive at a value. ASB uses the third-party value only to assess the reasonableness of its own estimate. ASB includes MSRs within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Time deposits. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for FHLB advances of similar remaining maturities. Deposit liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Other borrowings. For advances and repurchase agreements, fair value is estimated using quantitative discounted cash flow models that require the use of interest rate inputs that are currently offered for advances and repurchase agreements of similar remaining maturities. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including broker market transactions and third party pricing services.
Long-term debt—other than bank.  Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt—other than bank was obtained from third-party financial services providers based on the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities and from discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar risks, terms, and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of floating rate long-term debt—other than bank approximated fair value because of the short-term interest reset periods. Long-term debt—other than bank is classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs). The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. IRLCs are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Forward sales commitments. To be announced (TBA) mortgage-backed securities forward commitments are classified as Level 1, and consist of publicly-traded debt securities for which identical fair values can be obtained through quoted market prices in active exchange markets. The fair values of ASB’s best efforts and mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined using quoted prices in the market place that are observable and are classified as Level 2 measurements.

The unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the weighted average discount rate. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average discount rate was 2.27%, which was derived by incorporating a credit spread over the one month LIBOR rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis.  Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the tables above. These measurements primarily result from assets carried at the lower of cost or fair value or from impairment of individual assets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no adjustments to fair value for ASB’s loans held for sale.
Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion updates “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s 2021 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with such discussion and the 2021 annual consolidated financial statements of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and notes thereto included in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s 2021 Form 10-K, as well as the quarterly (as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022) condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q.
HEI consolidated
Recent developments—COVID-19. Hawaii’s 7-day average daily COVID-19 case counts have receded from the high of 4,610 reached in January 2022 and recently the 7-day average for new cases was 436 as of April 25, 2022. In March 2022, the state ended the Safe Travels program for domestic U.S. travelers and the indoor mask mandate. Hawaii vaccinations have steadily increased with over 77% of the state’s population fully vaccinated as of April 19, 2022 and 39% of those fully vaccinated received a third shot.
Tourism numbers remain below pre-pandemic levels, primarily due to a delayed recovery in international travel. However, domestic travel has recovered significantly and recently exceeded pre-pandemic levels, with March 2022 total domestic passenger counts at approximately 112% of March 2019 (pre-pandemic) total domestic passenger counts. Although the Hawaii economy experienced a temporary setback with the Delta and Omicron variants, the Hawaii economy is expected to continue its improvement in 2022 with the lifting of restrictions and gradual return of international travel.
In the first quarter of 2022, Utility kWh sales remained below pre-pandemic levels, but were 2.5% higher than the first quarter of 2021 due to increased economic activity following the loosening of restrictions and an increase in tourism. While the level of kWh sales does not affect Utility revenues due to decoupling, it may increase or decrease the price per kWh paid by customers. See “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the decoupling mechanism.
At the Bank, due to favorable credit trends and continued improvement in the economic environment, ASB recorded a $3.3 million negative provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net interest income increased $1.9 million to $59.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to growth in the investment securities portfolio that was principally funded by the growth in deposits, as well as lower amortization of premiums in the investment portfolio. The higher net interest income from the investment portfolio was partly offset by the impact of a decrease in loan portfolio balances and lower loan portfolio yields as a result of the low interest rate environment and lower PPP fees.
For further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities and the Bank, see “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the Electric Utility and Bank sections below. There has been no material impact on the “Other” segment and Pacific Current as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as the primary businesses of Pacific Current are supported by PPAs that provide for contractual cash flows with credit-worthy counterparties.
For a discussion regarding the impact of the economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, see discussion under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources,” contained in each of the “HEI Consolidated,” “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections of this MD&A.
Environmental, Social & Governance. At HEI, environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and sustainability have long been embedded within all aspects of the Company’s activities and integral to the Company’s efforts to create value for all of its stakeholders. With all of its operations isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Company’s long-term health and financial performance is inextricably linked with the strength of the Hawaii economy, its communities, and the environment. That is why long-term shareholder and broader stakeholder value are both served by the Company’s mission to be a catalyst for a better Hawaii.
In 2021, the Company identified a number of priorities that reflect the essential connection between the health of Hawaii’s environment, economy and communities and HEI’s long-term success. The key ESG priorities the Company is working to advance include:
decarbonizing the Company’s operations and the broader Hawaii economy;
promoting Hawaii’s economic health and improving affordability for all residents;
ensuring reliability and resilience as the Company navigates the clean energy transition and adapts to a changing climate;
advancing digitalization of the Company’s operations to better serve customers and increase efficiency while protecting against cyber-security challenges;
51


promoting diversity, equity and inclusion both within the Company and in the ways the Company interacts with and impacts external stakeholders;
increasing employee engagement; and
identifying and integrating climate-related risks and opportunities throughout the Company’s planning and decision-making.
The Company has also focused on ensuring that ESG considerations are appropriately integrated into governance structures, strategies and risk management. This includes:
Integration of Board oversight of important ESG matters into its existing governance structures and processes. This includes full Board review of ESG-related strategies, Audit & Risk Committee oversight of ESG risks, Compensation & Human Capital Management Committee responsibility for ESG-related compensation matters and human capital management and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee responsibility for ensuring an appropriate board governance framework is in place with respect to ESG.
Robust ESG expertise among board members, including directors with direct experience in renewable energy, climate change policy and strategy, environmental management and sustainable investing.
Expanded ESG goals as part of HEI and Utility executive incentive compensation.
ESG considerations explicitly woven into strategic planning efforts and enterprise risk management processes.
The Company is committed to transparency and providing information to allow customers, community leaders, investors and other stakeholders understand how the Company’s strategies and operations advance ESG objectives and contribute to long-term stakeholder value creation.
The Company issued its first ESG report in September 2020. The report encompassed ESG policies, principles and results reported during 2019 across the Company’s two primary operating subsidiaries, Hawaiian Electric and ASB, and was aligned with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidance—using the electric utilities standard for Hawaiian Electric, and the commercial banks, commercial finance, and mortgage finance standards for ASB. On April 22, 2021, the Company issued its second ESG report. This report continues to include SASB disclosures for Hawaiian Electric and ASB and incorporates disclosures regarding risks and opportunities related to climate change, as well as associated risk management and governance processes, based on recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. It also outlines key impacts for the Company under two climate scenarios, including a scenario targeted to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius or lower. On April 12, 2022, the Company issued its third and most comprehensive ESG report. The report includes HEI's first enterprise-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory, which will further guide the company's ESG strategies and provide greater transparency around its progress on climate issues. Net enterprise-wide GHG emissions in measured categories have decreased over time, driven largely by reductions in the utility's generation-related emissions The Company’s ESG reports can be found at www.hei.com/esg.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the first three months of 2022 and 2021 were comparable at 20% and 19%, respectively.
Economic conditions.
Note: The statistical data in this section is from public third-party sources that management believes to be reliable (e.g., Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), Department of Health of the State of Hawaii , U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor
52


and Industrial Relations (DLIR), Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), Honolulu Board of REALTORS® and national and local news media).
At the end of March 2022, the Safe Travels Program, which required proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test for travel to Hawaii, ended following a significant reduction in case counts in recent months. In addition, lower case counts across most states also led to stronger demand for travel to Hawaii in the first quarter of 2022, resulting in the average daily passenger count 122.7% higher than the comparable period in the prior year, but still 16.8% below 2019. The recovery in total passenger counts from the low levels in 2020 thus far has been driven by domestic travelers, with international travelers remaining at low levels due to higher restrictions for international travelers, depending on country of origin. In March 2022, domestic passenger counts were up 10.8% compared to 2019 pre-COVID-19 levels, while international passenger counts were down 87% compared to 2019 pre-COVID-19 levels.
Hawaii’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in March 2022 was 4.1%, which was lower compared to the March 2021 rate of 6.6%. The national unemployment rate in March 2022 was 3.6% compared to 6.0% in March 2021. Hawaii’s unemployment rate is expected to continue to improve now that restrictions have been lifted.
Hawaii real estate activity through March 2022, as indicated by Oahu’s home resale market, drove an increase in the median sales price of 12.1% for condominiums and 20.2% for single-family homes compared to the same period in 2021, with the March median single-family home price reaching a record $1,150,000 set in March. The number of closed sales was up 16.8% for condominiums and down 2.6% for single-family residential homes for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021.
Hawaii’s petroleum product prices reflect supply and demand in the Asia-Pacific region and the price of crude oil in international markets. The price of crude oil gradually increased throughout 2021 but decreased in January 2022 and increased significantly in February 2022.
At its March 15, 2022 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to raise the federal funds rate target range of 0.25%-0.5%. The FOMC plans to continue to maintain an accommodative stance of monetary policy to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the long run. The Federal Reserve stated that it will begin to reduce its holdings of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities.
The most recent forecast by UHERO, which was issued on March 6, 2022, forecasts full year 2022 real GDP growth of 3.8%, increase in total visitor arrivals of 29.1%, decrease in real personal income of 4.7%, and an unemployment rate of 5.1%. This forecast reflects improvement of Hawaii’s economy after experiencing a downturn due to the Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 in 2021. The international market is still anticipated to gradually return in late summer of 2022. However, a full economic recovery is still forecasted to be several years out and dependent on the ability to adapt to new COVID-19 threats, the global economic fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, increasing federal interest rates, and the return of international visitors.
The Company expects economic conditions to improve going forward; however, it is difficult to predict the future path of the pandemic. If economic conditions worsen from current levels or remain depressed for an extended period of time, it could have a material unfavorable impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in 2022.
See also “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections below for further discussion of the economic impact caused by the pandemic.

The “other” business segment loss includes results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI (including eliminations of intercompany transactions) and ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), as well as the results of Pacific Current, a direct subsidiary of HEI focused on investing in clean energy and sustainable infrastructure projects; Pacific Current’s indirect subsidiary, Hamakua Energy, which owns a 60-MW combined cycle power plant that provides electricity to Hawaii Electric Light; Pacific Current’s subsidiaries, Mauo, LLC (Mauo), which owns solar-plus-storage projects totaling 8.6 MW on five University of Hawaii campuses, Alenuihaha Developments, LLC, which owns a collection of renewable energy assets, Ka‘ie‘ie Waho Company, LLC, which owns a 6 MW solar photovoltaic system that provides renewable energy to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, and Ka‘aipua‘a, LLC, which is constructing a wastewater treatment and energy recovery facility on Hawaii island; as well as eliminations of intercompany transactions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources.  As of March 31, 2022, there was no balance on HEI’s revolving credit facility or Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facility and the available committed capacities under the facilities were $175 million and $200 million, respectively. At the end of the quarter, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had approximately $66 million and $6 million of commercial paper outstanding, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.1 billion and ASB had unpledged investment securities of $2.8 billion that were available to be used as collateral for additional borrowing capacity.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total amount of available borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the Company’s committed lines of credit was approximately $304 million and $321 million, respectively.
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, expected operating cash flow from subsidiaries, existing credit facilities, and access to the capital markets will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements over the next twelve months and beyond based on its current business plans. However, the Company expects that its liquidity will continue to be moderately impacted at the Utilities due to higher working capital requirements due to lingering COVID-19 impacts to the local economy. For the Utilities, the economic impact of the pandemic on customers have resulted in higher accounts receivable balances and bad debt expense and may result in higher write-offs in the future. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $38 million of the Utilities’ accounts receivables were 30 days past due. Of the over 30 days past due amounts, approximately 23% were on payment plans. The Company commenced its disconnection process on a tiered basis, starting in the third quarter of 2021, targeting the oldest and largest balances first, which is expected to reduce delinquent accounts receivable balances over time as payments are made. In addition to the cash flow impact from delayed collection of accounts receivable, lower kWh sales relative to the level of kWh sales approved in the last rate case generally result in delayed timing of cash flows, resulting in higher working capital requirements (see “Recent DevelopmentsCOVID-19” in the Electric utility section below). At this time, the delay in customer cash collections has not significantly affected the Company’s liquidity. The Company is prepared to address, if needed, the potential financing requirement related to the delayed timing of customer collections.
At ASB, liquidity remains at satisfactory levels largely due to U.S. economic stimulus programs implemented as a result of COVID-19 that led to a substantial increase in customer deposits. ASB’s cash and cash equivalents was $270 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to $251 million as of December 31, 2021. ASB remains well above the “well capitalized” level under the FDIC Improvement Act prompt correction action capital category, and while the economic outlook has improved and is expected to continue to improve, there are still COVID-19 risks, such as new variants, that could create ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19’s impact on loan performance and the allowance for credit losses (see “Recent Developments — COVID-19” in the Bank section below).
HEI material cash requirements. HEI’s material cash requirements include: capital expenditures, labor and benefit costs, O&M expenses, fuel and purchase power costs, and debt and interest payments at the Utilities; investments in loans and investment securities at the Bank; labor and benefits costs, shareholder dividends and debt and interest payments at HEI; and HEI equity contributions to support Pacific Current’s sustainable infrastructure investments.
The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, as well as bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other short-term and long-term material cash requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be an evolving situation, and the Company cannot predict the extent or duration of outbreaks from new variants, the future effects that it will have on the global, national or local economy, including the impact on the Company’s cost of capital and its ability to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Note: This table does not include Hawaiian Electric’s separate commercial paper issuances and line of credit facilities and draws, which are disclosed below under “Electric utility—Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources.” The maximum amount of HEI’s short-term commercial paper borrowings during the first three months of 2022 was $66 million. As of March 31, 2022, available committed capacity under HEI’s line of credit facility was $175 million.
There were no new issuances of common stock through the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), HEIRSP or the ASB 401(k) Plan in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan through open market purchases of its common stock.
For the first three months of 2022, net cash provided by operating activities of HEI consolidated was $93 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $228 million, primarily due to capital expenditures, ASB’s purchases of available-for-sale investment securities, partly offset by ASB’s receipt of investment security repayments and maturities and net decrease in loans. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $131 million as a result of several factors, including net increases in ASB’s deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings, the issuances of long-term debt and net increases in short-term borrowings, partly offset by repayment of long-term debt and payment of common stock dividends. During the first three months of 2022, Hawaiian Electric and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $31 million and $15 million, respectively.
Dividends.  The payout ratios for the first three months of 2022 and full year 2021 were 55% and 60%, respectively. On February 11, 2022, the HEI Board of Directors approved a 1 cent increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.34 per share to $0.35 per share, starting with the dividend in the first quarter of 2022. HEI currently expects to maintain its dividend at its present level; however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation including, but not limited to, the Company’s results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company, current and expected future economic conditions, including impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and capital investment alternatives.
MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company’s financial statements—that is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and currently require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies, in addition to the critical policy discussed below, see pages 45 to 46, 62 to 63, and 76 to 77 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Following are discussions of the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the electric utility and bank segments.

Electric utility
Recent developments—COVID-19
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
In the first quarter of 2022, COVID-19 case counts peaked in mid-January 2022, followed by a rapid decline in case counts and hospitalizations by the end of the quarter. In response to the improvement in COVID-19 trends, in March 2022, the state ended the Safe Travels program that required proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for transpacific travelers and removed the indoor mask mandate. As a result, for the first quarter of 2022, driven by continued recovery of the economy and the lifting of all COVID-19 restrictions, the demand for electricity increased 2.5% from 2021 levels.
Accounts receivable collection trends improved in the first quarter with past due accounts receivable balances decreasing by $6.2 million, or 9%, and the number of accounts past due decreasing by approximately 4% since December 31, 2021. The decrease in accounts receivables was primarily driven by payments on installment plans, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program payment, a large government account payment that was previously in arrears, higher cash receipts associated with increased disconnection efforts, application of the $2 million Kokua bill credit, offset by higher customer balances driven by higher fuel prices. At this time, the delay in customer cash collections has not significantly affected the Utilities’ liquidity. The Utilities are prepared to address, if needed, the financing requirement related to the delayed timing of cash flows collected under the decoupling mechanism through the RBA and the modest slowing or reduction in accounts receivable collections from customers. See “Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources” for additional information.
In the second quarter of 2020, the PUC approved the deferral of certain COVID-19 related costs, such as higher bad debt expense, higher financing costs, non-collection of late payment fees, increased personal protective equipment costs, and sequestration costs for mission-critical employees. As of March 31, 2022, these cumulative costs, which have been deferred and recorded as a regulatory asset, totaled approximately $27.8 million (see also discussion under “Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Utilities deferred COVID-19 related costs through a PUC approved period that ended on December 31, 2021 and will be seeking recovery of the deferred costs in a separate proceeding to be filed in the second quarter of 2022.
Looking forward, while case counts and hospitalizations have declined since the peak in January 2022, the positivity rate has recently increased. A worsening of COVID-19 case counts with existing or new variants or a reinstatement of COVID-19 restrictions could adversely affect the ability of the Utilities’ contractors, suppliers, IPPs, and other business partners to perform or fulfill their obligations timely, or at all, or require modifications to existing contracts, which could adversely affect the Utilities’ business, increase expenses, and impact the Utilities’ ability to achieve their RPS and other climate related goals. Additionally, while the state’s aggressive response to the pandemic has managed to control the spread of the coronavirus, the measures taken have had a negative economic impact on the state’s businesses and residents, which may influence the PUC’s actions regarding future rate increases.
In March 2022, the consumer price index reached a 40-year high of 8.5% as gas prices and rents spiked. In Hawaii, the Urban Hawaii (Honolulu) Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 7.5% higher than it was one year ago. For the Utilities, the inflationary impacts have primarily manifested as higher fuel prices, which have increased 62% quarter-over-quarter. Although the Utilities are able to pass through fuel costs to customers and have limited fuel cost exposure through a 2% fuel-cost sharing mechanism (approximately $3.7 million exposure annually), higher customer bills could reduce customers’ ability to pay timely or increase the risk of non-payment. In addition, the higher customer bills may lead the PUC to consider other actions to limit or delay any proposed increase in rates in order to mitigate the overall bill impact of rising fuel prices.
Under the PBR framework, the Utilities receive annual inflationary adjustments (compounded) on test year target revenues. The annual revenue adjustment is equal to the gross domestic producer price index (GDPPI), less a productivity factor (currently zero) and a 0.22% customer dividend, multiplied by the previous year’s adjusted revenue requirements. The GDPPI adjustment is measured in October and is effective for the following calendar year. For the 2022 calendar year, GDPPI was measured at 3% in October 2021 and will be remeasured in October 2022 for the 2023 calendar year. Although the GDPPI inflationary adjustment protects the Utilities from inflationary pressures over time, there may be a lag in recovery when prices move rapidly as they have done in recent months.
For a discussion regarding the impact of the economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities’ liquidity and capital resources, see discussion under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources.”

1The rate schedules of the electric utilities currently contain ECRCs through which changes in fuel oil prices and certain components of purchased energy costs are passed on to customers.
2The rate schedules of the electric utilities currently contain PPACs through which changes in purchased power expenses (except purchased energy costs) are passed on to customers.
3 In the first quarter of 2022, kWh sales were higher when compared to the same periods last year largely due to continued recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 cases peaked in January 2022 due to the Omicron variant, but case counts have since returned to pre-Omicron levels. U.S. visitor arrivals continued to increase above first quarter of 2021 levels and approach pre-pandemic levels, but international arrivals remain low. With the outlook of the pandemic transitioning to an endemic status and remaining restrictions removed at the end of March, the economic recovery is expected to strengthen this year as international visitors return and sales rebound, although the improvement is expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels.

The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of March 31, 2022 amounted to $4.9 billion, of which approximately 25% related to generation PPE, 66% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 9% related to other PPE. Approximately 8% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission.
See “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
Executive overview and strategy.  The Utilities provide electricity on all the principal islands in the state, other than Kauai, to approximately 95% of the state’s population and operate five separate grids. The Utilities’ mission is to provide innovative energy leadership for Hawaii, to meet the needs and expectations of customers and communities, and to empower them with affordable, reliable and clean energy. The goal is to create a modern, resilient, flexible and dynamic electric grid that enables an optimal mix of distributed energy resources, such as private rooftop solar, demand response and grid-scale resources to enable the creation of smart, sustainable, resilient communities and achieve the statutory goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Performance-based regulations. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) approving a new performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transition to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future.  The Utilities are fully committed to leading and enabling pathways to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future for Hawaii. The Utilities believe that a holistic approach to decarbonization is needed, and that such a strategy requires achieving the Utilities’ decarbonization and renewable energy commitments, facilitating and promoting beneficial electrification, and deploying carbon removal and offsets among other levers to reduce statewide emissions.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Utilities outlined its Climate Action Plan to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2030, compared to a 2005 baseline. The emissions covered by this goal include stack emissions from generation owned by Hawaiian Electric and IPPs who sell electricity to the Utilities. The 2030 commitment would provide a significant portion of the reduction the entire Hawaii economy needs to meet the U.S. target of cutting carbon emissions by at least 50% economy-wide by 2030. Hawaiian Electric has also committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from power generation by 2045 or sooner. Key elements of the 2030 plan include the closure of the state’s last coal-fired IPP plant in 2022 upon expiry of the PPA, increasing rooftop solar by more than 50% over 2021 levels, retiring six fossil fuel generating units, adding at least 1 GW of renewable generation to what was already in place in 2021, increasing grid-scale and customer-owned storage, expanding geothermal resources, and creating customer incentives for using clean, lower-cost energy at certain times of the day and using less fossil-fueled energy at night. The retirement of fossil-fueled generating units to achieve the Utilities’ 70% decarbonization goal is consistent with state policy and supported by Hawaii State law. See “Forecast of capital expenditures—Liquidity and capital resources” for a discussion of potential capital expenditures related to decarbonization efforts.
On September 1, 2022, the last coal-fired IPP plant in the state, providing approximately 10% of Oahu’s generation, will cease operations, removing a significant amount of GHG emissions from the Utilities’ generation mix. The plant’s aging infrastructure could lead to more unscheduled outages compared to historic performance, which may impact system reliability.
In anticipation of the retirement of the coal-fired IPP plant, the Utilities have developed plans, including contingency plans, to ensure reliable service through the transition period. These plans include the anticipated addition of ten renewable energy/storage projects, reserve capacity from existing generation sources, the acceleration of maintenance work during periods with anticipated higher reserve levels, and multiple demand response/distributed energy resources programs. However, future events, including unexpected issues with existing generation, or supply chain issues and inflationary pressures, as well as federal policies related to solar panel imports, among other factors, delay in the commercial operation of new generation resources, could disrupt the ability of the Utilities to deliver reliable service. Also, see the “Developments in renewable energy efforts—New renewable PPAs” section below.
Hawaii’s renewable portfolio standard law requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. Hawaii law has also established a target of sequestering more atmospheric
58


carbon and greenhouse gases than emitted within the state by 2045. The Utilities’ strategies and plans are fully aligned in meeting these targets.
The Utilities have made significant progress on the path to clean energy and have been successful in achieving RPS goals. The Utilities reached its 2015 RPS goal two years early and exceeded the 30% RPS target for 2020, achieving an RPS of 34.5% that year. In 2021, the Utilities achieved an RPS of 38.4%. The Utilities will continue to actively procure additional renewable energy post-2021 and expect to meet or exceed the next statutory RPS goal of 40% in advance of the 2030 compliance year. (See “Developments in renewable energy efforts” below).
If the Utilities are not successful in meeting the RPS targets as mandated by law, the PUC could assess a penalty of $20 for every MWh that an electric utility is deficient. Based on the level of electricity sales in 2021, a 1% shortfall in meeting the 2030 RPS requirement of 40% would translate into a penalty of approximately $1.7 million. The PUC has the discretion to reduce the penalty due to events or circumstances that are outside an electric utility’s reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be reasonably foreseen and ameliorated. In addition to penalties under the RPS law, failure to meet the mandated RPS targets would be expected to result in a higher proportion of fossil fuel-based generation than if the RPS target had been achieved, which in turn would be expected to subject the Utilities to limited commodity fossil fuel price exposure under a fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism. The fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of $3.7 million. Conversely, the Utilities have incentives under PIMs that provide a financial reward for accelerating the achievement of renewable generation as a percentage of total generation, including customer supplied generation. The Utilities may earn a reward for the amount of system generation above the interpolated statutory RPS goal at $20/MWh in 2022, $15/MWh in 2023, and $10/MWh for the remainder of the multi-year rate period.
The Utilities are fully aligned with, and supportive of, state policy to achieve a decarbonized future and have made significant progress in reducing emissions through renewable energy and electrification. This alignment with state policy is reflected in management compensation programs and the Utilities’ long-range plans, which include aspirational targets in order to catalyze action and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels throughout its operations at a pace more rapid than dictated by current law. The long-range plans, including aspirational targets, serve as guiding principles in the Utilities’ continued transformation, and are updated regularly to adapt to changing technology, costs, and other factors. While there is no financial penalty for failure to achieve the Utilities’ long-range aspirational objectives, the Utilities recognize that there are environmental and social costs from the continued use of fossil fuels.
The State of Hawaii’s policy is supported by the regulatory framework and includes a number of mechanisms designed to maintain the Utilities’ financial stability during the transition toward the State’s decarbonized future. Under the sales decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover from customers, target test year revenues, independent of the level of kWh sales, which have generally trended lower over time as privately-owned distributed energy resources have been added to the grid and energy efficiency measures have been put into place. Other regulatory mechanisms under the new PBR framework reduce some of the regulatory lag during the multi-year rate plan (MRP), such as the annual revenue adjustment to provide annual changes in utility revenues and the exceptional project recovery mechanism, which allows the Utilities to recover and earn on certain approved eligible projects placed into service. See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” and “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Integrated Grid Planning. Achieving high levels of renewable energy and a carbon free electric system will require modernizing the grid through coordinated energy system planning in partnership with local communities and stakeholders. To accomplish this, the Utilities are implementing an innovative systems approach to energy planning intended to yield the most cost-effective renewable energy and decarbonization pathways that incorporates customer and stakeholder input.
The Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) utilizes an inclusive and transparent Stakeholder Engagement model to provide an avenue for interested parties to engage with the Utilities and contribute meaningful input throughout the IGP process. The IGP Stakeholder Council, Technical Advisory Panel and Working groups have been established and meet regularly to provide feedback and input on specific issues and process steps in the IGP. The Utilities submitted an updated IGP work plan to the PUC in January 2021. In August 2021, the Utilities submitted their Revised Inputs and Assumptions to the PUC for review and approval, marking the significant progress made through the stakeholder engagement phase of the IGP process. On March 31, 2022, the Utilities submitted the final Inputs and Assumptions approved by the PUC. The PUC is currently reviewing the Utilities’ planning methodologies and criteria. Once approved, the next step in the IGP process to complete a Grid Needs Assessment will begin.
Demand response programs. Pursuant to PUC orders, the Utilities are developing an integrated Demand Response (DR) Portfolio Plan that will enhance system operations and reduce costs to customers. The reduction in cost for the customer will take the form of either rates or incentive-based programs that will compensate customers for their participation individually,
59


or by way of engagements with turnkey service providers that contract with the Utilities to aggregate and deliver various grid services on behalf of participating customers and their distributed assets.
On June 9, 2021, the PUC issued an order providing guidance to the third Grid Service RFP filed on February 23, 2021. The proposed Grid Service RFP focused only on Oahu and is seeking 132 MW of grid services with focus on capacity reduction (60 MW) similarly in response to the potential reserve shortfall from the AES coal plant retirement scheduled on September 1, 2022. The Utilities filed a final draft and received PUC approval to proceed on August 3, 2021. The Utilities subsequently issued an approved Grid Services RFP and the bids were due on October 13, 2021. The Utilities made their final selections on November 10, 2021 and commenced negotiations immediately after. The Utilities executed a GSPA for a total grid services amount of 97.4 MW and filed with the PUC to request approval on March 16, 2022.
On June 8, 2021, the PUC approved the new program, Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP), a battery storage incentive program to dispatch electricity between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily from participating residential and commercial customers, to address the potential reserve shortfalls following the AES coal plant retirement. The PUC approved EDRP for 50MW on Oahu with an incentive budget not to exceed $34 million, which will be recovered via a surcharge cost recovery mechanism over a 10-year amortization. The Utilities’ implementation plan was approved by the PUC on June 30, 2021, and the Utilities subsequently filed the updated EDRP tariffs on July 1, 2021. On February 25, 2022, the PUC approved an amendment to the Battery Bonus program that provides additional incentives to participating customers. This new amendment became effective on March 1, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Utilities have received and approved the applications totaling approximately 5 MW.
Grid modernization. The overall goal of the Grid Modernization Strategy is to deploy modern grid investments at an appropriate priority, sequence and pace to cost-effectively maximize flexibility, minimize the risk of redundancy and obsolescence, deliver customer benefits and enable greater distributed energy resources and renewable energy integration. Under the Grid Modernization Strategy, the Utilities expect that new technology will help increase adoption of private rooftop solar and make use of rapidly evolving products, including storage and advanced inverters. On March 25, 2019, the PUC approved a plan for the Utilities to implement Phase 1 of their Grid Modernization Strategy (proportional deployment of advanced metering infrastructure “AMI”). On February 28, 2022, the PUC expanded the scope of Phase 1 AMI to the full service territory with a completion date set for the third quarter of 2024. The estimated cost of full deployment (including proportional deployment) is approximately $143 million in capital and deferred software cost and is expected to be incurred over five years. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $42 million of capital and deferred software cost has been incurred to date under Phase 1 and is currently being recovered under the MPIR mechanism until such costs are included in base rates. On February 14, 2022, the Utilities filed a request with the PUC to increase operations and maintenance costs to reflect the incremental O&M costs associated with full-service territory AMI deployment. To date, the Utilities have deployed over 65,000 advanced meters, or approximately 14% of the total scheduled deployment under Phase 1.
The Utilities filed an application with the PUC on September 30, 2019 for an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) as part of the second phase of their Grid Modernization Strategy implementation. However, on December 30, 2019, the PUC suspended the Utilities’ application for the Advanced Distribution Management System pending the Utilities’ filing of a supplemental application for the broad deployment of field devices. This supplement and update to the Grid Mod Phase 2 field devices application was filed on March 31, 2021. The estimated cost for the implementation over five years of the ADMS and field devices, which includes capital, deferred software costs and O&M costs, is $105 million. A PUC order was issued on April 27, 2021, unsuspending and resuming consideration of the Phase 2 Application. The Utilities filed the reply statement of position on October 15, 2021, completing the discovery phase of the docket. On November 16, 2021, the PUC suspended the Utilities’ ADMS and Phase 2 field device application to focus the Utilities’ attention on completing Phase 1. The Utilities filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the PUC in response to the suspension, but was denied. The PUC subsequently clarified that the Utilities may resume the Phase 2 docket no earlier than six months before Phase 1 is scheduled to be completed, which is the third quarter of 2024. Resumption of the Phase 2 proceeding would likely commence six months prior to this completion date selected by the PUC.
Community-based renewable energy. In December 2017, the PUC adopted a community-based renewable energy (CBRE) program framework which allows customers who cannot, or chose not to, take advantage of private rooftop solar to receive the benefits of renewable energy to help offset their monthly electric bills and support clean energy for Hawaii. The program has two phases.
The first phase, which commenced in July 2018, totals 8 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) only with one credit rate for each island, closed on April 9, 2020. Two phase 1 projects (28.32 kW on Maui and 270 kW on Oahu) have been operational for over a year, with four additional phase 1 projects expected to become operational in 2023.
The second phase, which commenced on April 9, 2020 and subsequently expanded on July 27, 2021, allows over 250 MW across all Hawaiian Electric service territories in two tranches for small (under 250 kW), mid-tier and large system sizes
60


to encourage a variety of system sizes. To provide opportunities for LMI customers to participate in the program, separate project proposals may be submitted specifically targeting LMI customers.
Eight RFPs were required by order: one each for Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Molokai, and Lanai, and LMI-specific RFPs for Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island. LMI projects do not have a size cap nor do they decrease the 250 MW capacity available to other projects.
For Lanai, the Utilities proposed to combine the previously issued Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation Paired with Energy Storage RFP and the CBRE RFP to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE Program on Lanai. See “Developments in renewable energy efforts–Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information” for additional information.
CBRE proposals for Lanai were due on February 14, 2022 and are currently being evaluated. CBRE proposals due date for Molokai was extended until March 1, 2022 and are currently being evaluated. On March 17, 2022 the CBRE LMI RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii were issued and are currently accepting proposals until May 17, 2022. The Utilities issued the CBRE Tranche 1 RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii on April 14, 2022 and will accept proposals for these RFPs through August 17, 2022.
The Utilities CBRE Phase 2 Rule 29 became effective on March 10, 2022. The Utilities are currently accepting project applications for small CBRE projects less than 250 kW in size. The PUC reserved 45 MW as well as a small amount of unallocated capacity from Phase 1 for small projects in Phase 2 on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island. The Utilities have developed a CBRE Portal where Subscriber Organizations can apply for small project capacity and manage subscribers for all CBRE projects in the program. Customers can also use the portal to subscribe to a project once the Subscriber Organization has added their project to the portal.
Microgrid services tariff proceeding. In enacting Act 200 of 2018, the Hawaii legislature found that Hawaii’s residents and businesses were vulnerable to disruptions in the islands’ energy systems caused by extreme weather events or other disasters, and stated its belief that the use of microgrids would build energy resiliency into Hawaii’s communities, thereby increasing public safety and security. The purpose of Act 200 was therefore to encourage and facilitate the development and use of microgrids through the establishment of a standard microgrid services tariff. In July 2018, pursuant to Act 200, the PUC opened a proceeding to investigate the establishment of a microgrid services tariff. In August 2019, the PUC issued an order prioritizing items for resolution in the docket and directed the Parties to establish working groups (the “Working Group”) to address issues identified by the PUC.
On May 27, 2021, the Utilities filed the Microgrid Service Tariff. On September 21, 2021, the PUC provided guidance for Phase 2 of the Microgrid Tariff proceeding, specifically identifying the objective for Phase 2 to promote self-sufficiency and resilience among microgrid project operators, as well as to further streamline the Microgrid Services Tariff where applicable. Furthermore, the PUC instructed Parties to recommend priority topics, along with supporting rationale to better inform the topics that will be discussed during this phase of the proceeding, which the parties submitted by October 21, 2021.
On April 4, 2022, the PUC established its Prioritized Issues for Resolution in for Phase 2 of the Microgrid proceeding, which includes the following: 1) Microgrid Compensation and Grid Services; 2) Utility Compensation; 3) Customer Protection and Related Considerations; 4) Interconnection; and 5) Working group coordination with related microgrid and resilience Initiatives at Hawaiian Electric and government agencies. Furthermore, the PUC established a procedural schedule to consist of quarterly status conference meetings with the PUC, a Phase 2 Working Group Report, draft of a revised Microgrid Service Tariff, Party comments to the proposed Microgrid Service Tariff, followed by a PUC D&O.
Decoupling. See “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.
Regulated returns. As part of the PBR Framework’s annual review cycle, the Utilities track their rate-making ROACEs as calculated under the earnings sharing mechanism, which includes only items considered in establishing rates. At year-end, each utility’s rate-making ROACE is compared against its ROACE allowed by the PUC to determine whether earnings sharing has been triggered. The D&O in the PBR proceeding modified the earnings sharing mechanism to a symmetric arrangement. Effective with annual earnings for 2021, the earnings sharing will be triggered for achieved rate-making ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead band above and below the current authorized rate-making ROACE of 9.5% for each of the Utilities. Earnings sharing credits or recoveries will be included in the biannual report (formally known as annual decoupling filing) to be filed with the PUC in the spring of the following year. Results for 2021, 2020 and 2019 did not trigger the earnings sharing mechanism for the Utilities.

**    Recorded net income divided by average common equity.
***  ROACE adjusted to remove items not included by the PUC in establishing rates, such as incentive compensation.
The factors contributing to the difference between PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs actually achieved prior to the establishment of PBR include the exclusion of certain expenses from rates (for example, incentive compensation and charitable contributions), the recognition of annual RAM revenues on June 1 annually rather than on January 1, and return on capital additions since the last rate case in excess of indexed escalations. As a result of the D&O in the PBR proceeding, the Utilities are allowed to recognize previously established RAM adjustment and ARA revenues on January 1 of each year.
Regulatory proceedings.  On December 23, 2020, the PBR D&O was issued, establishing a new PBR Framework. The PBR Framework implemented a five-year multi-year rate period (MRP), during which there will be no general rate case applications. In the fourth year of the MRP, the PUC will comprehensively review the PBR Framework to determine if any modifications or revisions are appropriate. See also “Regulatory proceedings” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Developments in renewable energy effortsDevelopments in the Utilities’ efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:
New renewable PPAs.
On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (ARPPA). The ARPPA extends the term of the existing PPA by 25 years to 2052, expands the firm capacity of the facility to 46 MW and delinks the pricing for energy delivered from the facility from fossil fuel prices to reduce cost to customers. On March 31, 2021, the PUC suspended the docket pending the completion of a supplemental environmental review under the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act (HEPA). After the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development identified the Planning Department for the County of Hawaii to be the accepting agency and approving authority for any required HEPA review, the PUC lifted the suspension of the docket stating that the docket was ready for decision-making. On March 16, 2022, the PUC issued a D&O, approving the ARPPA, subject to conditions, that include requiring completion of the final environmental review prior to construction. On March 28, 2022, Puna Pono Alliance filed a Motion for Reconsideration seeking reconsideration, modification and/or vacation of the D&O.
The Utilities’ renewable energy goals depend, in large part, on the success of renewable projects developed and operated by independent power producers. Beginning in 2017, the Utilities embarked on an ambitious procurement effort, selecting multiple solar plus storage efforts to help reach the Utilities renewable portfolio standards goals as well as to assist the Utilities in retiring fossil fuel generation. Several of the recently procured projects have experienced delays and four Stage 2 projects have been declared null and void by the independent power producers due to a number of issues, including supply chain disruptions caused by impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, solar product detentions at U.S. ports of entry ordered by the U.S. Customers and Border Protection agency, and unforeseen site conditions which resulted in unanticipated project costs or in some cases the inability to effectively use previously identified project sites. Projects have also indicated potential impacts from the investigation launched by the US Department of Commerce on March 28, 2022, in response to a request by Auxin Solar Inc. in regards to solar panel imports. Significant project delays or failures of these projects increase the risk of the Utilities not meeting the renewable portfolio standards or other climate related goals, eligibility for performance incentive mechanisms associated with the speed of increasing renewable generation, and the ability to retire fossil fuel units.
Tariffed renewable resources.
As of March 31, 2022, there were approximately 554 MW, 119 MW and 133 MW of installed distributed renewable energy technologies (mainly PV) at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, for tariff-based private customer generation programs, namely Standard Interconnection Agreement, Net Energy
62


Metering, Net Energy Metering Plus, Customer Grid Supply, Customer Self Supply, Customer Grid Supply Plus and Interim Smart Export. As of March 31, 2022, an estimated 33% of single family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui have installed private rooftop solar systems, and approximately 20% of the Utilities’ total customers have solar systems.   
The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of March 31, 2022, there were 43 MW, 2 MW and 6 MW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
Biofuel sources.
In July 2018, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s three-year biodiesel supply contract with Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC (PBT) to supply 2 million to 4 million gallons of biodiesel at Hawaiian Electric’s Schofield Generating Station and the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility and any other generating unit on Oahu, as necessary. The PBT contract became effective on November 1, 2018 and has been extended for one year through December 2022. Hawaiian Electric also has a spot buy contract with PBT to purchase additional quantities of biodiesel at or below the price of diesel. Some purchases of “at parity” biodiesel have been made under the spot purchase contract, which was extended through June 2023. On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued an RFP for all fuels, including biodiesel, for supply commencing January 1, 2023. The Utilities and PBT signed an agreement on December 13, 2021 for supply of biodiesel on all islands commencing January 1, 2023, subject to PUC approval.
Hawaiian Electric has a contingency supply contract with REG Marketing & Logistics Group, LLC to also supply biodiesel to any generating unit on Oahu in the event PBT is not able to supply necessary quantities. This contingency contract has been extended to November 2023, and will continue with no volume purchase requirements.
Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information.
Under a request for proposal process governed by the PUC and monitored by independent observers, in February 2018, the Utilities issued Stage 1 Renewable RFPs for 220 MW of renewable generation on Oahu, 50 MW of renewable generation on Hawaii Island, and 60 MW of renewable generation on Maui. To date, summarized information for a total of 8 PPAs is as follows:
UtilitiesNumber of contractsTotal photovoltaic size (MW)BESS Size (MW/MWh)Guaranteed commercial operation datesContract term (years)Total projected annual payment (in millions)

Maui Electric27575/3004/28/23 & 10/27/232517.6 
Total8274.5274.5/1,098$63.9 
The Utilities have received PUC approvals to recover the total projected annual payment of $63.9 million for the eight PPAs through the PPAC to the extent such costs are not included in base rates. On March 29, 2022, the Utilities filed a letter with the PUC requesting approval of an amendment requesting a price and guaranteed commercial operation date change to a previously-approved PPA for Stage 1 on Oahu to resolve a force majeure condition. On May 6, 2022, the PUC conditionally approved this PPA amendment.
In continuation of their February 2018 request for proposal process, the Utilities issued their Stage 2 Renewable RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island and Grid Services RFP on August 22, 2019. Final awards for the renewable projects were made on May 8, 2020. Final awards for the grid services projects were made starting in January 2020. On Oahu, seven solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project, totaling approximately 281 MW of generation and 1.8 GWh of storage, were selected. On Maui, three solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project, totaling approximately 100 MW of generation and 560 MWh of storage, were selected. On Hawaii Island, two solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project, totaling approximately 72 MW of generation and 492 MWh of storage, were selected. Two Utility Self-Build projects were among those selected; a 40-MW, 160-MWh standalone energy storage system on Maui and a 12-MW, 12-MWh storage system on Hawaii Island. Three renewable plus storage projects voluntarily withdrew from the process prior to execution of a power purchase agreement for various reasons, including change in circumstances for the developer and a misunderstanding of contract requirements. To date, the Utilities had filed 11 PPAs, including 4 PPAs declared null and void by the independent power producers, 2 GSPAs and 2 applications for commitments of funds for capital
63


expenditures for approval of the utility self-build projects with the PUC. On March 23, 2022, the PUC approved one solar-plus-storage project on Oahu for 15 MW of generation and 60 MWh of storage.
A summary of the 7 PPAs that are still under active development, is as follows:

To date, six projects that have been approved by the PUC remain in development – five solar-plus-storage PPAs (112 MW) and one standalone storage PPA (185 MW). The total projected annual payment of $63.5 million for these PPAs will be recovered through the PPAC to the extent such costs are not included in base rates. On February 15, 2022, the Utilities filed letters with the PUC requesting approval of amendments to two of the previously-approved PPAs for Stage 2, one on Oahu and one on Maui, that address delays and price increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the global supply-chain crisis, as well as other market conditions that have arisen during the development of these projects. On March 2, 2022, the PUC declined to approve both amendments. On March 14, 2022, both the developer of the project and the Utilities filed a motion for reconsideration for one project, and the developer also filed a motion for reconsideration for the second project. On May 5, 2022, the developer withdrew its motions for reconsideration for both projects and on May 6, 2022, the Utilities withdrew their motion for reconsideration and filed the developer’s notices declaring PPAs for the projects null and void. On May 6, 2022, after the developer declared the PPAs null and void, the PUC granted the Utilities’ motion for reconsideration, approving the amendment to the Maui based project. However, the PUC’s order does not change the developer’s null and void declaration of the PPA for the Maui based project. The PPA remains null and void at this time.

On November 27, 2019, the Utilities issued RFPs for renewable generation paired with energy storage on the islands of Lanai and Molokai. The Utilities were seeking PV paired with storage or small wind (specified as 100 kW turbines or smaller) on Molokai and PV paired with storage on Lanai. The RFP on Lanai was postponed on January 14, 2020 to allow the Utility to re-evaluate the scope of the RFP in response to announced plans to remove two large resorts from the grid. Proposals for the Molokai RFP were received on February 14, 2020. In light of a PUC order issued on April 9, 2020 in the CBRE docket, the Utilities proposed in their July 9, 2020 filing to combine the previously issued and subsequently postponed Lanai RFP with the CBRE RFP described in the order to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE program on Lanai. On May 21, 2021, the PUC approved the proposed combined Lanai RFP. On October 15, 2020, the Utilities selected one project from the Molokai RFP for a total of 4.5 MW of solar and 24 MWh of storage. The developer, however, declined to accept the award. On August 25 and 31, 2021, the Utilities filed proposed final drafts of the CBRE RFPs, which included three dedicated Low-to-Moderate-Income RFPs on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii, three Tranche 1 RFPs on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii, a Molokai CBRE RFP, and a combined Lanai Variable
64


and CBRE RFP. On November 22, 2021, CBRE RFPs for Molokai and Lanai were opened. The Lanai RFP closed on February 14, 2022 and the Molokai RFP closed on March 1, 2022. A project has been selected in the Lanai RFP. Proposals are currently being evaluated in the Molokai RFP. On February 8, 2022, the PUC approved, subject to modifications, the CBRE and LMI CBRE RFPs for Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island. The Utilities filed the final RFPs with the PUC on February 23, 2022. On March 17, 2022, the CBRE LMI RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii were opened. The Utilities opened the CBRE Tranche 1 RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii on April 14, 2022. See “Transition to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future—Community-based renewable energy” for additional information.
The PUC issued a letter to the Utilities requesting development with a Stage 3 RFP on Hawaii Island on January 21, 2021. In accordance with guidance provided by the PUC in a subsequent letter on April 20, 2021, the Utilities filed the Hawaii Island Grid Needs Assessment on July 15, 2021 and the draft RFP, including model contracts for PV+BESS, wind+BESS, standalone storage, firm renewable generation, and distributed energy resources aggregators on October 15, 2021. The requirements in the Stage 3 RFP are guided by the results of the Grid Needs Assessment. On March 18, 2022, the Utilities filed a second draft of the Stage 3 RFP for Hawaii Island, incorporating stakeholder and PUC feedback.
On February 18, 2022, the PUC sent a letter to the Utilities directing them to develop Stage 3 RFPs for Oahu and Maui. On March 10, 2022, the Utilities submitted its recommendations on plans to develop Stage 3 RFPs for Oahu and Maui, and on May 2, 2022, the Utilities filed draft RFPs for Oahu and Maui. For Oahu, the Utilities are seeking 500 to 700 MW of renewable firm capacity, and at least 475 GWh of renewable dispatchable energy annually. For Maui, the Utilities are procuring at least 40 MW of renewable firm capacity, and at least 180 GWh of renewable dispatchable energy annually.
On November 17, 2021, the Utilities filed a request with the PUC to develop an RFP for firm renewable generation for Oahu. On December 22, 2021, the PUC issued guidance to the Utilities on proceeding with such RFP. The Utilities filed a draft RFP on February 28, 2022. Per the PUC’s March 23, 2022 letter, the Utilities will pursue firm renewable generation as a part of the Stage 3 Oahu RFP.
Review of Interconnection Process and Kapolei Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement.
In February 2021, the PUC initiated a docket for the purposes of reviewing the status and interconnection progress of various utility-related renewable projects (i.e., Stage 1 and Stage 2 RFP PPAs and CBRE) and the Utilities’ transition plans for the expiration of the AES power purchase agreement, the retirement of the Kahului Power Plant, and other fossil fuel power plant transition plans, as needed. The Utilities filed initial status updates on the project timelines, steps needed for each of the renewable projects to achieve commercial operation and steps the Utilities are taking to address projected extensions of guaranteed commercial operation dates (GCOD) for renewable projects under development, which are due to a variety of factors, including those outside of the control of the Utilities. The PUC subsequently held status conferences on the Utilities’ updates. In April 2021, the PUC issued an Order directing the Utilities to establish regulatory liabilities for the difference between the on-peak avoided cost and the unit price included in the applications for approval of the renewable project PPAs, effective with the GCOD included in the applications (the earliest GCOD included in the applications is July 2021) or from the date of the Order for CBRE Phase 1 projects. The amount of regulatory liabilities to be recorded in future periods are not determinable at this time and would be affected by a number of factors, including the length of the GCOD extension period, the monthly on-peak avoided cost, as well as the factors described above. The Utilities filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the entire Order, or in the alternative to clarify that at most the PUC is directing the Utilities to track the information and not record the information at this time. The Utilities further requested a Stay of the Order pending resolution of the Motion. The Utilities maintain that extensions of GCODs are allowed under the PUC-approved contracts and that the Order has the unintended consequence of imposing penalties against the Utilities without due process. In May 2021, the PUC issued an order clarifying its Order and directed the Utilities to track costs to consumers caused by the perceived delay of renewable projects, and that the PUC does not intend to, at this time, impose any penalties on the Utilities. The Utilities report the tracked cost on a monthly basis. The full text of the Order, Motion for Reconsideration and request for a Stay of the Order, and clarification Order as well as the tracked costs can be found on the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2021-0024).
Also in April 2021, the PUC approved the Kapolei Energy Storage (KES) PPA (one of the PPAs as a result of the Stage 2 Renewable RFP process) (KES Decision and Order), subject to nine conditions, including the Utilities forgoing the second portion of the PIM rewards amounting up to $1.7 million for the Stage 1 RFP PPAs, removing grid constraints for the Utilities’ CBRE Phase 2 projects and for existing and new distributed energy programs, financial retirement of Hawaiian Electric generating units by specified dates and adjusting target revenues at the retirement dates for such retirements, and a requirement to charge the batteries in the project using significant levels
65


of renewable energy generation. The financial retirement of the generating units described in the KES Decision and Order is contrary to the intent of Hawaii Revised Statutes §269-6(d), which encourages the recovery of stranded costs for the retirement of fossil fuel generation, and contrary to the regulatory compact under which in return for agreeing to commit capital necessary to allow utilities to meet their obligation to serve, utilities are assured recovery of their investment and a fair opportunity to earn a reasonable return on the capital prudently committed to the business. Hawaiian Electric filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Stay of the Decision and Order due to potentially significant financial and operational impacts. In May 2021, the PUC granted, in part, Hawaiian Electric’s Motion for Reconsideration and Stay. In this Order, the PUC addressed a number of Hawaiian Electric’s concerns, including removing the condition of the Utilities foregoing the PIM award from Stage 1 RFP projects, agreeing to address grid constraint concerns in respective DER and CBRE dockets and not in the KES docket, removing the minimum thresholds of charging energy coming from renewable energy generation and corresponding deadlines associated with these thresholds and modifying the condition on financial retirement of generating units. The PUC indicated the net book value of generating assets would be addressed at the time of retirement. The full text of the KES Decision and Order and the Motion for Reconsideration and Stay with respect thereto, and the Order granting, in part, Hawaiian Electric’s Motion for Reconsideration can be found on the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2020-0136).
Legislation and regulation. Congress and the Hawaii legislature periodically consider legislation that could have positive or negative effects on the Utilities and their customers. Also see “Environmental regulation” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fuel contracts. The fuel contract entered into in January 2019, by the Utilities and PAR Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR Hawaii), for the Utilities’ low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO), high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), No. 2 diesel, and ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) requirements was approved by the PUC, and became effective on April 28, 2019 and terminates on December 31, 2022. This contract is a requirement contract with no minimum purchases. If PAR Hawaii is unable to provide LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD the contract allows the Utilities to purchase LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD from another supplier.
On June 9, 2020, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii entered into a First Amendment to the fuel contract. The First Amendment amends only the LSFO pricing to create a two-tiered structure based on volume, with all tier-1 LSFO up to the tier-1 maximum to be purchased exclusively from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing, and purchases in excess of that volume (tier-2) either from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing, or from an alternative supplier. On August 4, 2020, the PUC approved the First Amendment, which has an effective date of July 15, 2020, on an interim basis. The PUC’s approval order allows the recovery of such costs associated with the First Amendment through the ECRC to the extent that the costs are not recovered in base rates. The PUC intends to review whether the First Amendment is reasonable and in the public interest in the final decision, but it will not subject the recovery of the costs between the interim decision and the final decision to retroactive disallowances. On July 6, 2021, the PUC issued a D&O, approving the First Amendment and requiring the Utilities to meet certain conditions of approval (COA). The Utilities are currently addressing the COAs as required in the D&O.
On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued two RFPs for all fuels for supply commencing January 1, 2023. On February 1, 2022, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii entered into a fuel supply contract commencing January 1, 2023 and Second Amendment to the existing fuel contract to amend tier-1 volumes. The Second Amendment will take effect contingent upon PUC’s approval. The costs incurred under the contract with PAR Hawaii are recovered in the Utilities’ respective ECRCs.
On March 3, 2022, as part of economic sanctions amid the Russia-Ukraine war, Par Hawaii announced that it is suspending all purchases of Russian crude oil, which accounts for at least 25% of Hawaii’s supply. The average fuel oil cost per barrel has increased 62% quarter over quarter and the Utilities is forecasting an approximate 10% increase in the average electric bill for the island of Oahu and approximate 20% average increase for Hawaii and Maui Island.
Army privatization. On October 30, 2020, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s 50-year contract with the U.S. Army to own, operate and maintain the electric distribution system serving the U.S. Army’s 12 installations on Oahu, including Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Tripler Army Medical Center, Fort Shafter, and Army housing areas. On March 1, 2022, Hawaiian Electric acquired the Army’s existing distribution system for a purchase price of $14.5 million, and will pay the Army in the form of a monthly credit against the monthly utility services charge over the 50-year term of the contract. The acquisition of additional assets contemplated in the contract, with an estimated value of $4 million, is planned for 2023.
Hawaiian Electric took ownership and all responsibilities for operation and maintenance of the system on March 1, 2022 for a 50-year term after a one-year transition period. Under the contract, Hawaiian Electric will make initial capital upgrades over the first six years of the contract and replace aging infrastructure over the 50-year term. In addition to its regular monthly electricity bill, the Army will pay Hawaiian Electric a monthly utility services charge to cover operations and maintenance expenses and provide recovery for capital upgrades, capital replacements, and the existing distribution system
66


based on a rate of return determined by the PUC for regulated utility investments, as well as depreciation expense. A preliminary assessment estimated the capital needs of approximately $40 million in the first six years of the contract. The PUC requires Hawaiian Electric to file regular periodic reports on the activities and investments in fulfillment of the contract and will review the major projects planned on behalf of the Army. The annual impact on Hawaiian Electric’s earnings is not expected to be material and will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of capital upgrades and capital replacement.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. As of March 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding on Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facility and $6 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding by the Utilities. The total amount of available borrowing capacity under the Utilities’ committed line of credit was $200 million.
Hawaiian Electric expects that its liquidity will continue to be moderately impacted at the Utilities due to lingering COVID-19 impacts to the local economy. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, delinquent accounts receivable balances have increased, which could result in higher write-offs in the future, and kWh sales have generally declined until recently, both of which impact the timing of cash flows and creates higher working capital requirements. However, the Utilities’ liquidity and access to capital remains adequate and is expected to remain adequate. As of March 31, 2022, the total amount of available borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the Utilities’ committed lines of credit and cash and cash equivalents was approximately $223 million.
The moratorium on customer disconnections was lifted on May 31, 2021. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, the Utilities commenced the disconnection process on a tiered basis, targeting the oldest and largest balances first, which is expected to reduce delinquent accounts receivable balances over time and accelerate cash collections.

As of March 31, 2022, Hawaii Electric Light had short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric of $5 million and Hawaiian Electric had short-term borrowings from Maui Electric of $12.8 million, which intercompany borrowings are eliminated in consolidation.
Credit agreement. On February 18, 2022, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s request to extend the term of the $200 million Hawaiian Electric revolving credit facility to May 14, 2026. In addition to extending the term, Hawaiian Electric also received PUC approval to exercise its options of two one-year extensions of the commitment termination date and to increase its aggregate revolving commitment amount from $200 million to $275 million, should there be a need. Hawaiian Electric has a $200 million line of credit facility with no amount outstanding at March 31, 2022.
SPRBs. Special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) have been issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) to finance (and refinance) capital improvement projects of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries, but the sources of their repayment are the non-collateralized obligations of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries under loan agreements and notes issued to the DBF, including Hawaiian Electric’s guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations.
On May 24, 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to issue SPRBs in the amounts of up to $70 million, $2.5 million and $7.5 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, prior to June 30, 2020,
67


to finance the Utilities’ capital improvement programs. Pursuant to this approval, on October 10, 2019, the DBF issued, at par, Series 2019 SPRBs in the aggregate principal amount of $80 million with a maturity of October 1, 2049. As of March 31, 2022, Hawaiian Electric had $2.1 million of undrawn funds remaining with the trustee. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric have no undrawn funds.
On June 10, 2019, the Hawaii legislature authorized the issuance of up to $700 million of SPRBs ($400 million for Hawaiian Electric, $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $150 million for Maui Electric), with PUC approval, prior to June 30, 2024, to finance the Utilities’ multi-project capital improvement programs (2019 Legislative Authorization).
On February 9, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to issue SPRBs (up to $100 million, $35 million and $45 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively) through 2022, with the proceeds to be used to finance the Utilities’ multi-project capital improvement programs. The PUC also approved the use of the expedited approval procedure to request the issuance and sale of the remaining/unused amount of SPRBs authorized by the 2019 Legislative Authorization (i.e., total not to exceed up to $400 million for Hawaiian Electric, up to $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light, and up to $150 million for Maui Electric) during the period January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Taxable debt. On January 31, 2019, the Utilities received PUC approval (January 2019 Approval) to issue the remaining authorized amounts under the PUC approval received in April 2018 (April 2018 Approval) in 2019 through 2020 (Hawaiian Electric up to $205 million and Hawaii Electric Light up to $15 million of taxable debt), as well as a supplemental increase to authorize the issuance of additional taxable debt to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures, and to refinance the Utilities’ 2004 junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (QUIDS) prior to maturity. In addition, the January 2019 Approval authorized the Utilities to extend the period to issue additional taxable debt from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The new total “up to” amounts of taxable debt requested to be issued through December 31, 2022 are $410 million, $150 million and $130 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
As of March 31, 2022, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui Electric have $135 million, $85 million, and $45 million, respectively, of remaining taxable debt to issue prior to December 31, 2022. See summary table below.

On May 3, 2022, the Utilities received PUC approval through the expedited approval process to issue taxable debt (Hawaiian Electric up to $50 million, Hawaii Electric Light up to $30 million and Maui Electric up to $35 million) prior to December 31, 2022.
On April 29, 2022, the Utilities requested PUC approval to issue, over a four-year period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026, unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest (Hawaiian Electric up to $230 million, Hawaii Electric Light up to $65 million and Maui Electric up to $105 million), to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures.
Equity. In October 2018, the Utilities received PUC approval for the supplemental increase to issue and sell additional common stock in the amounts of up to $280 million for Hawaiian Electric and up to $100 million each for Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, with the new total “up to” amounts of $430 million for Hawaiian Electric and $110 million each for Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, and to extend the period authorized by the PUC to issue and sell common stock from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui Electric have $221.4 million, $93.7 million, and $63.2 million, respectively, of remaining common stock to issue prior to December 31, 2022. See summary table below.

On April 29, 2022, the Utilities requested PUC approval to issue and sell each utility’s common stock over a four-year period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026 (Hawaiian Electric’s sale/s to HEI of up to $75 million, Hawaii Electric Light sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $25 million, and Maui Electric sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $55 million) and the purchase of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric common stock by Hawaiian Electric from 2023 through December 31, 2026.
Cash flows. The following table reflects the changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021:
Three months ended March 31
(in thousands)20222021Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$76,775 $31,961 $44,814 
Net cash used in investing activities(74,864)(68,498)(6,366)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities(25,974)36,460 (62,434)

Net cash provided by operating activities. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was driven by higher cash receipts from customers due to increased disconnection effort and receipts of payments on installment plans, and timing in receipts of payments from large government accounts, as well as lower cash paid for accounts payable due to timing, partially offset by higher cash paid for fuel oil stock due to higher fuel oil prices and volume purchased.
Net cash used in investing activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in capital expenditures related to construction activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by lower net cash from long-term debts, partially offset by net increase in short-term borrowings.
Material cash requirements. Material cash requirements of the Utilities include O&M expenses, including labor and benefit costs, fuel and purchase power costs, repayment of debt and interest payments, operating lease obligations, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other short-term and long-term material cash requirements. The cash requirements for O&M, fuel and purchase power costs, debt and interest payments, and operating lease obligations are generally funded through the collection of the Utilities’ revenue requirement established in the last rate case and other mechanisms established under the regulatory framework. The cash requirements for capital expenditures are generally funded through retained earnings, the issuance of debt, and contributions of equity from HEI and generally recovered through the Utilities’ revenue requirement or other capital recovery mechanisms over time. The Utilities believe that their ability to generate cash is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their material cash requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, and the Utilities cannot predict the extent or duration of the outbreak, the future effects that it will have on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on the Utilities’ ability, as well as the cost, to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Utilities’ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Forecast capital expenditures. For the five-year period 2022 through 2026, the Utilities forecast up to $2.1 billion of net capital expenditures, which could change over time based upon external factors such as the timing and scope of environmental regulations and/or unforeseen delays in permitting and timing of PUC decisions. Approximately $1.3 billion is related to replacement and modernization of generation, transmission and distribution assets; approximately $0.5 billion is related to climate-related projects to transition to renewable energy or mitigate climate impacts by increasing the resilience of the system, and approximately $0.3 billion for targeted efforts to improve reliability. Proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt, cash flows from operating activities, temporary increases in short-term borrowings and existing cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide the funds needed for the net capital expenditures, to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings, as well as to fund any unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2022 to 2026 forecast (such as increases in the costs or acceleration of capital projects, or unanticipated capital expenditures that may be required by new environmental laws and regulations).
69


Management periodically reviews capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects. These estimates may change significantly as a result of many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in forecasts of kWh sales and peak load, the availability of purchased power and changes in expectations concerning the construction and ownership of future generation units, the availability of generating sites and transmission and distribution corridors, the need for fuel infrastructure investments, the ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases, escalation in construction costs, the effects of opposition to proposed construction projects and requirements of environmental and other regulatory and permitting authorities.

Recent Developments—COVID-19
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
The Hawaii economy continued to improve in the first quarter of 2022 as an increase in visitor arrivals have helped drive a growing labor market and tax collections. Domestic visitor arrivals were near pre-pandemic levels due to pent up demand from leisure travelers. The state and county governments have also lifted all COVID-related travel restrictions for arriving domestic passengers. International visitor arrivals continued to lag significantly behind pre-pandemic levels but it is expected to increase as Asian countries begin to loosen travel restrictions. Other COVID-related mandates have also been lifted such as the indoor mask mandate and capacity limits for indoor and outdoor events. Although new daily case counts have risen recently, hospitalization rates have not been impacted by the increase in infection counts.
The Federal Reserve raised its federal funds rate for the first time in three years in response to inflationary pressures in the economy. The overall level of interest rates across the curve remain at relatively low levels and ASB’s net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of 2.79% was flat to the linked quarter ended December 31, 2021 and lower than the net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 of 2.95%.
ASB continued to experience deposit growth, which outpaced loan growth and was used to purchase investment securities. The Bank’s ASB CARES loan program continued to paydown and fees from the program along with the growth in investment securities portfolio contributed to higher interest income, offsetting the effect of lower loan portfolio balances and earning asset yields. Net interest income improved to $59.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $57.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, ASB recorded a $3.3 million negative provision for credit losses that reduced the allowance for credit losses, reflecting the release of reserves for a nonperforming loan that was paid down, lower loss rates in the commercial real estate loan portfolio and overall lower net charge offs. The provision for credit losses in future quarters will be dependent on future economic conditions and changes to borrower credit quality at that time.
In response to COVID-19, ASB made short-term loan modifications to borrowers who were generally payment current at the time of relief. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $0.1 million of loans remained in their active deferral period. Approximately $6.1 million of loans were not able to resume their contractual payments and were considered delinquent as of March 31, 2022.
In 2020, ASB temporarily closed 15 of its 49 branches and reduced banking hours at the branches that remained open in an effort to reduce social gathering and protect employees and customers. The bank has since reopened seven of the branches that were temporarily closed and permanently closed eight branches. Three of the reopened branches are now digital branches, which provides digital solutions such as full-service ATMs and access to expert bankers through videoconferencing tools while allowing ASB to have a more efficient physical footprint . The reduction in ASB’s branch network should not have a significant impact to the bank’s customers as there are other branches nearby and other channels such as online and mobile banking. ASB continues to evaluate its branch network to determine whether further changes may be appropriate given its customers’ use of other banking channels.
ASB’s senior management team continually addresses the impacts to the operations and business of the bank as a result of the pandemic and meets regularly with ASB’s board of directors to keep them apprised of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided over $2 trillion in economic assistance for American workers, families, and small businesses, and job preservation for American industries. The PPP was established under the CARES Act and implemented by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. ASB worked with a number of small businesses, both customers and non-customers, to complete the loan application forms so that these businesses could participate in the program. During the first round of PPP, the Bank secured more than $370 million in PPP loans for approximately 4,100 small businesses that supported over 40,000 jobs; ASB received processing fees totaling approximately $13 million and started recognizing these fees over the life of the loans. During the second round of PPP, ASB secured more than $175 million for approximately 2,200 small businesses that supported more than 20,000 jobs; ASB received processing fees of approximately $9 million. The remaining PPP loans outstanding as of March 31, 2022 was approximately $41 million and the remaining fees to be recognized over the life of the loans was approximately $1.5 million.
Other provisions of the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting

ASB continues to maintain its low-risk profile, strong balance sheet and straightforward community banking business model.
 Three months ended March 31Increase 
(in millions)20222021(decrease)Primary reason(s)
Interest and dividend income$60 $59 $
Average loan portfolio yields were 19 basis points lower—impacted by the continued low interest rate environment as adjustable rate loans have repriced lower during the past year and new loan production yields continue to originate below their portfolio yields. Lower loan yields were also due to lower PPP loan fees recognized in 2022 compared to 2021 as the PPP loan portfolio has paid down significantly over the past year.
Average loan portfolio balances decreased $156 million - home equity lines of credit average balance decreased $97 million due to increased paydowns in the portfolio; consumer loan average balance decreased $45 million due to ASB’s strategic decision to reduce production of this loan type during the period of weakened economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Commercial loan average balance decreased $201 million due to repayments in the PPP loan portfolio. Residential average balance increased $154 million due to the Bank’s decision to portfolio a larger portion of the production. Commercial real estate average balance increased $28 million due to demand for this loan type.
Average investment securities portfolio balance increased $801 million—excess liquidity from strong deposit growth invested in agency securities.
Average investment securities yields 30 basis points higher—benefited from lower amortization of premiums in the investment portfolio.
Noninterest income16 19 (3)
Lower mortgage banking income - lower residential loan sale volume due to lower production volume, ASB’s decision to portfolio a larger portion of the residential loan production and lower residential loan sale profit margin in 2022 compared to 2021.
Lower bank owned life insurance income - lower return from insurance policies and lower insurance policy claim proceeds in 2022 compared to 2021.
Gain on sale of real estate - due to the sale of a branch property owned by ASB. The branch was closed in January 2022.
Less: gain on sale of real estate(1)— (1)Gain on sale of real estate, which is included in Noninterest income above and in the Bank’s statements of income and comprehensive income in Note 4, is classified as gain on sale of real estate in the condensed consolidated statements of income, and accordingly, is reflected in operating expenses below as a separate line item and excluded from Revenues.

Revenues75 77 (2)
The decrease in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to lower noninterest income partly offset by higher interest income.
Interest expense— 
Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings were flat.
Average core deposit balances increased $535 million; average term certificate balances decreased $129 million.
Average deposit yields decreased from 8 basis points to 5 basis points.

Provision for credit losses(3)(8)
72


 Three months ended March 31Increase 
(in millions)20222021(decrease)Primary reason(s)
2022 negative provision for credit losses reflects a stable economic outlook, good credit trends including lower net charge-offs and improved credit loss rates which included credit upgrades in the commercial real estate loan portfolio.
2022 negative provision for credit losses also due to the release of loss reserves for a commercial real estate credit.
2021 negative provision for credit losses reflected improvement in economic outlook, strong credit results including lower net charge-offs and improved credit loss rates which included credit upgrades in the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios.
2021 negative provision for credit losses was also due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio balances which had higher credit loss rates.
Delinquency rates have decreased—from 0.43% at March 31, 2021 to 0.27% at March 31, 2022 due to lower residential 1-4 family, commercial real estate, consumer and home equity line of credit loan delinquencies.
Net charge-off to average loans have decreased—from 0.18% at March 31, 2021 to 0.01% at March 31, 2022 primarily due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio net charge-offs.
Noninterest expense48 48 — 
Lower compensation and benefits expenses offset by higher occupancy expenses.
2021 noninterest expense benefited from a one-time credit adjustment for a change in accounting for the ASB retirement plan.
Gain on sale of real estate(1)— (1)
Expenses45 41 
The increase in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was due to higher negative provision for credit losses in 2021, partly offset by higher gain on sale of real estate.
Operating income30 36 (6)
The decrease in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to higher negative provision for credit losses in 2021 and lower noninterest income, partly offset by higher interest income.
Gain on sale of investment securities, net— (1)The decrease in gain on sale of investment securities - primarily due to the sale of investment securities in 2021 with no similar sales in 2022.
Net income24 30 (6)
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was lower than the same period in 2021 due to lower operating income and lower gain on sale of investment securities, partly offset by lower income tax expense.

Earning assets, costing liabilities, contingencies and other factors.  Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The interest rate environment has been impacted by disruptions in the financial markets over a period of several years. Although the Federal Open Market Committee increased its federal funds rate target range to 0.25% - 0.50% in 2022 due to signs of inflation, ASB’s
74


net interest income and net interest margin remain at lower levels. A prolonged low interest rate environment may continue to negatively impact ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin.
Loans and mortgage-backed securities are ASB’s primary earning assets.
Loan portfolio.  ASB’s loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and management’s responses to these factors. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a composition of ASB’s loan portfolio.
Home equity — key credit statistics. The HELOC portfolio makes up 16% of the total loan portfolio and is generally an interest-only revolving loan for a 10-year period, after which time the HELOC outstanding balance converts to a fully amortizing variable-rate term loan with a 20-year amortization period. Borrowers also have a “Fixed Rate Loan Option” to convert a part of their available line of credit into a 5, 7 or 10-year fully amortizing fixed-rate loan with level principal and interest payments. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 38% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the Fixed Rate Loan Option. A HELOC loan is typically in a subordinate lien position to a borrower’s first mortgage loan, however, approximately 57% of ASB’s HELOC loan portfolio is in a first lien position.
Loan portfolio risk elements.  See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Investment securities.  ASB’s investment portfolio was comprised as follows:

Total investment securities$3,138,525 100 %$3,096,888 100 %
Currently, ASB’s investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and mortgage revenue bonds. ASB owns mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government agencies or sponsored agencies, including the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Small Business Administration (SBA). Principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and SBA are guaranteed by the issuer and, in the case of GNMA and SBA, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury securities are also backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. The increase in the investment securities portfolio was primarily due to the purchase of treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities with excess liquidity.
Deposits and other borrowings.  Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and management’s responses to these factors. While deposits have increased by $117 million year-to-date, deposit retention and sustained growth will remain challenging in the current environment due to the low level of short-term interest rates. Advances from the FHLB of Des Moines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased continue to be additional sources of funds. As of March 31, 2022 ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 98% deposits and 2% other borrowings compared to 99% deposits and 1% other borrowings as of December 31, 2021. The weighted average cost of deposits for the first three months of 2022 and 2021 was 0.05% and 0.08%, respectively.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ASB had no advances outstanding at the FHLB of Des Moines. As of March 31, 2022, the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines was $2.1 billion. The FHLB of Des Moines continues to be an important source of liquidity for ASB.
Contingencies.  ASB is subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, ASB cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.
Other factors.  Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations and also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASB’s investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in the fair value of the investment securities, respectively. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of the investment securities.
75


As of March 31, 2022, ASB had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI of $152.4 million compared to an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $32.0 million as of December 31, 2021. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk” for a discussion of ASB’s interest rate risk sensitivity.
During the first three months of 2022, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $3.8 million in the allowance for credit losses reflecting a stable economic outlook, good credit trends including lower net charge-offs and credit upgrades in the commercial real estate loan portfolio and the release of reserves for a nonperforming commercial real estate loan. During the first three months of 2021, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $7.0 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily due to improvement in the economic outlook, strong credit results including lower net charge-offs and credit upgrades in the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios and lower personal unsecured loan portfolio balances.

ASB maintains a reserve for credit losses that consists of two components, the allowance for credit losses and an allowance for loan commitments (unfunded reserve). The level of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted by recording an expense or recovery in provision for credit losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, ASB recorded a provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $0.5 million and a negative provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $1.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $5.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Legislation and regulation.  ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the OCC and the FDIC. Depending on ASB’s level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the discussion below under “Liquidity and capital resources.”
Changes to Community Bank Leverage Ratio. In April 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued two interim final rules to implement Section 4012 of the CARES Act, which requires the agencies to temporarily lower the community bank leverage ratio to 8 percent. The two rules modify the community bank leverage ratio framework so that:
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and until the end of the year, a banking organization that has a leverage ratio of 8 percent or greater and meets certain other criteria may elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework; and
Community banking organizations had until January 1, 2022 before the community bank leverage ratio requirement is re-established at greater than 9 percent.
Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio was 8 percent beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5 percent for calendar year 2021, and 9 percent thereafter. The interim final rules also maintain a two-quarter grace period for a qualifying community banking organization whose leverage ratio falls no more than 1 percent below the applicable community bank leverage ratio.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework, which allowed it to report only on the community bank leverage ratio, but does not change minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations. At March 31, 2021, ASB’s leverage ratio was below the 8.5 percent requirement to qualify for abbreviated reporting under the community bank leverage framework for 2021 and started reporting its risk-based capital ratios in the third quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the bank was in compliance with all of the minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations, and was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

As of March 31, 2022, ASB was one of Hawaii’s largest financial institutions based on assets of $9.3 billion and deposits of $8.3 billion.
As of March 31, 2022, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.1 billion. As of March 31, 2022, ASB had commitments to borrowers for loans and unused lines and letters of credit of $2.0 billion, of which, commitments to lend to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings were nil. Management believes ASB’s current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $24 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $152 million, primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities of $291 million and additions to premises and equipment of $1 million, partly offset by the receipt of investment security repayments and maturities of $109 million, a net decrease in loans of $28 million, proceeds from redemption of bank owned life insurance of $2 million and proceeds from the sale of real estate of $1 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $147 million, primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $117 million and a net increase in repurchase agreements of $49 million, partly offset by a net decrease in mortgage escrow deposits of $4 million and $15 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $17 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $448 million, primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities of $782 million, purchases of held-to-maturity securities of $88 million, additions to premises and equipment of $3 million, contributions to low income housing investments of $3 million and a net increase in stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $1 million, partly offset by the receipt of investment security repayments and maturities of $205 million, proceeds from the sale of investment securities of $197 million, a net decrease in loans receivable of $24 million and proceeds from the redemption of bank owned life insurance of $3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $362 million, primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $358 million and a net increase in repurchase agreements of $13 million, partly offset by a net decrease in mortgage escrow deposits of $4 million and $5 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
ASB believes that maintaining a satisfactory regulatory capital position provides a basis for public confidence, affords protection to depositors, helps to ensure continued access to capital markets on favorable terms and provides a foundation for growth. FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. As of March 31, 2022, ASB was well-capitalized (well-capitalized ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 7.8% (5.0%), common equity Tier-1 ratio of 13.3% (6.5%), Tier-1 capital ratio of 13.3% (8.0%) and total capital ratio of 14.3% (10.0%). As of December 31, 2021, ASB was well-capitalized (well-capitalized ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 7.9% (5.0%), common equity Tier-1 ratio of 13.3% (6.5%), Tier-1 capital ratio of 13.3% (8.0%) and total capital ratio of 14.3% (10.0%). All dividends are subject to review by the OCC and FRB and receipt of a letter from the FRB communicating the agencies’ non-objection to the payment of any dividend ASB proposes to declare and pay to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company considers interest-rate risk (a non-trading market risk) to be a significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have material impacts on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risks, see HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A of HEI’s 2021 Form 10-K (pages 77 to 79).

ASB’s interest-rate risk sensitivity measures as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 constitute “forward-looking statements” and were as follows:
Change in interest ratesChange in NII
(gradual change in interest rates)
Change in EVE
(instantaneous change in interest rates)
(basis points)March 31, 2022December 31, 2021March 31, 2022December 31, 2021

+1001.2 2.3 4.2 7.0 
-100(1.5)(2.5)(6.0)(12.6)

ASB’s net interest income (NII) sensitivity profile was less asset sensitive as of March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, primarily driven by the increase in market rates and core deposit funded investment securities purchases. The increase in market rates decreased prepayment expectations in the bank’s fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment portfolios, driving decreased asset sensitivity. In addition, the deployment of strong core deposit growth into new fixed-rate investment purchases further contributed to decreased sensitivity.
Economic value of equity (EVE) sensitivity decreased as of March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 as the duration of assets lengthened while the duration of core deposits shortened. The increase in market rates led to slower prepayment expectations and lengthened the duration of the fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment portfolios. The upward shift in the yield curve shortened the duration of core deposits, further contributing to decreased EVE sensitivity.
The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes on the NII sensitivity and the percentage change in EVE is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, balance changes and pricing strategies, and should not be relied upon as indications of actual results. To the extent market conditions and other factors vary from the assumptions used in the simulation analysis, actual results may differ materially from the simulation results. NII sensitivity analysis measures the change in ASB’s twelve-month, pretax NII in alternate interest rate scenarios, and is intended to help management identify potential exposures in ASB’s current balance sheet and formulate appropriate strategies for managing interest rate risk. The simulation does not contemplate any actions that ASB management might undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Further, the changes in NII vary in the twelve-month simulation period and are not necessarily evenly distributed over the period. These analyses are for analytical purposes only and do not represent management’s views of future market movements, the level of future earnings or the timing of any changes in earnings within the twelve month analysis horizon. The actual impact of changes in interest rates on NII will depend on the magnitude and speed with which rates change, actual changes in ASB’s balance sheet and management’s responses to the changes in interest rates.
