American Savings Bank Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Full Year 2022 Performance Highlights

  • Executed on market opportunities, growing loans by 15%, the strongest in over a decade
  • Strong credit quality drove 0.03% net charge off ratio (lowest since 2014), and low provision for credit losses ($2 million)
  • Net interest income up 6.5% versus 2021
  • Net interest margin remained strong at 2.89%
  • Continued strong capital and liquidity position

American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE), today reported 2022 net income of $80.0 million, compared to $101.2 million in 2021. Net income for 2021 reflected a $25.8 million negative provision for credit losses following large provisioning in 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to a provision for credit losses totaling $2.0 million in 2022 (pre-tax). Net income for 2021 also included $14.3 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) fee income, compared to $2.9 million in PPP fee income in 2022 (pre-tax).

“We are pleased with our 2022 results, which reflect strong execution by our team, solid credit quality and a healthy Hawaii economy,” said Ann Teranishi, president and chief executive officer of ASB. “Excluding unique pandemic recovery-related items that benefited our 2021 net income, we saw meaningful growth in earnings year over year. We also saw the strongest loan growth in recent memory, reflecting great work by our team and the resilience of Hawaii’s consumers and businesses. We continued to see positive credit trends despite the inflationary environment, and rising interest rates benefited our net interest margin and profitability,” said Teranishi.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $17.9 million, compared to $20.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $22.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Financial Highlights

Net interest income was $252.6 million in 2022 compared to $237.2 million in 2021. The increase in net interest income for the year was primarily due to higher yields on loans and investment securities, strong loan growth across nearly the entire portfolio and higher balances of investment securities. Fourth quarter 2022 net interest income was $66.1 million compared to $65.7 million in the linked quarter and $59.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Higher net interest income compared to the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to higher yields and balances on loans, partially offset by higher funding costs. Net interest margin was 2.89% in 2022, compared to 2.91% in 2021. Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 2.91% compared to 2.96% in the linked quarter and 2.79% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Strong loan growth during the year required additional credit loss reserves, but those additional reserves were partially offset by provision releases due to favorable credit trends. The provision for credit losses for 2022 was $2.0 million compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $25.8 million in 2021. The fourth quarter 2022 provision for credit losses was $2.7 million compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $0.2 million in the linked quarter and a negative provision for credit losses of $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. As of December 31, 2022, ASB’s allowance for credit losses to outstanding loans was 1.21% compared to 1.24% as of September 30, 2022 and 1.36% as of December 31, 2021.

The 2022 net charge-off ratio was 0.03% compared to 0.07% in 2021. The net charge-off ratio for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 0.06%, compared to 0.03% in both the linked quarter and the fourth quarter of 2021. Nonaccrual loans as a percent of total loans receivable held for investment were 0.28% as of December 31, 2022, compared to 0.35% as of September 30, 2022 and 0.86% as of December 31, 2021.

Noninterest income for 2022 was $57.0 million compared to $64.7 million in 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income, lower bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) income and lower fees from other financial services, partially offset by higher fee income on deposit liabilities, gains on sales of real estate and fee income on other financial products. Noninterest income was $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $13.0 million in the linked quarter and $15.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to higher BOLI income and a gain on sale of real estate. The decrease compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income and lower fees from other financial services, partially offset by higher BOLI income and a gain on sale of real estate.

Noninterest expense for 2022 was $205.3 million compared to $197.2 million in 2021. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by a pension accounting change that resulted in lower pension expense in 2021, and higher occupancy costs in 2022 primarily from the write-off of leases related to branch closures. Fourth quarter noninterest expense was $56.1 million compared to $51.6 million in the linked quarter and $50.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase compared to the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expenses and higher occupancy costs.

Total earning assets as of December 31, 2022 were $9.1 billion, up 7.2% from December 31, 2021.

Total loans were $6.0 billion as of December 31, 2022, up 15% from December 31, 2021, reflecting growth across the entire portfolio with the exception of PPP loans. Commercial real estate, residential and home equity line of credit were the strongest sources of loan growth for the year.

Total deposits were $8.2 billion as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of 0.03% from December 31, 2021. The average cost of funds was 0.16% for the full year 2022, 10 basis points higher than the prior year. For the fourth quarter of 2022, the average cost of funds was 0.38%, up 25 basis points versus the linked quarter and up 33 basis points versus the prior year quarter.

ASB’s return on average equity for the full year 2022 was 14.1% compared to 13.8% in 2021. Return on average assets for the full year was 0.86% in 2022 compared to 1.15% in 2021. For the fourth quarter of 2022, return on average equity was 15.7%, compared to 15.1% in the linked quarter and 12.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Return on average assets was 0.76% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 0.89% in the linked quarter and 0.97% in the same quarter last year.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, ASB paid dividends of $10.0 million to HEI. ASB had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.78% as of December 31, 2022.
