Aggressive Cost Control Helps HEI`s Third Quarter Earnings

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20091102005388/en

HONOLULU--(Business Wire)--
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HE) today reported consolidated net
income for common stock for the third quarter of 2009 of $33.5 million, or $0.37
per share, compared to $37.3 million, or $0.44 cents per share for the third
quarter of 2008.

"Given our expectations at the outset of the quarter for continued difficult
economic conditions and delays in the regulatory process, our operating
companies instituted disciplined efforts to control costs which contributed
commendably to mitigating these effects and we are pleased with our companies`
overall performance," said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and chief executive
officer.

"At the utility, predominately short-term cost deferrals and reductions are
helping us offset these challenges. In addition, kilowatthour sales benefited
from more normal weather conditions than we saw in the first half of the year.
At the bank, net income was down quarter over quarter but up significantly from
the second quarter of 2009. In addition, the bank continued to make significant
strides in its performance improvement initiative to reduce its cost structure
that are helping offset elevated credit expenses during this difficult credit
cycle," said Lau.

UTILITY RESULTS

Electric utility net income for common stock for the third quarter of 2009 was
$26.5 million compared with $25.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. "Interim
rate relief and cost control efforts enabled the utility to produce slightly
better results quarter over quarter, although returns remain significantly below
allowed returns," said Lau.

On August 3rd, the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC)
approved the implementation of a partial interim increase of $61.1 million, or
4.7%, in HECO`s 2009 test year rate case proceeding, which contributed $5.8
million quarter over quarter to utility net income.

Kilowatthour sales were down 0.8% compared with the same quarter of 2008,
reducing utility net income by an estimated $1.1 million. "Sales continue to be
impacted by difficult economic conditions and continuing positive efforts by
Hawaii residents and businesses to conserve energy, partly offset by warmer and
more humid weather," said Lau.

Operations and maintenance expenses (O&M) were up $0.4 million or 0.4% quarter
over quarter. Included in third quarter 2008 O&M were $9.5 million of
demand-side management program (DSM) costs that were recovered through a
surcharge. The energy efficiency DSM programs were transferred to a third-party
administrator at the end of the second quarter of 2009, and thus, there was only
$2.4 million in costs related to DSM programs in the third quarter of 2009. The
remaining difference in quarter over quarter O&M includes operating costs for
the new Oahu CT-1 unit, increased spending in support of renewable initiatives,
expenses to support our aging infrastructure and higher employee benefit costs.
"Due to short-term, aggressive cost containment measures and project deferrals
taken in the third quarter in response to delays in the regulatory process, the
year-to-date O&M increase of 8% compared favorably with the 10% annual increase
we estimated at the end of the second quarter. We now expect O&M for 2009 to
increase by approximately 6% compared with 2008, improved from the 13% and 10%
annual increases we estimated at the end of the first and second quarters,
respectively. While a small portion of these reductions are sustainable, the
majority of the reductions are temporary cost containment efforts which cannot
be sustained long-term without impacting operations," said Lau.

On September 30th, the company`s Maui County subsidiary filed a 2010 test year
rate case, requesting an overall revenue increase of $28.2 million, or 9.7%. The
request is based on a 10.75% return on common equity and 8.57% return on rate
base. Based on the filing date, the statutory deadline for an interim decision
from the Hawaii PUC expires in the third quarter of 2010.

BANK RESULTS

Bank net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $11.3 million, compared to
$4.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $15.4 million for the same
quarter last year.

"This has been a challenging year for financial institutions and our bank`s
results continue to be impacted by the difficult credit cycle. We continue to
make significant strides in our performance improvement initiative, helping
offset currently elevated credit expenses and improve the bank`s cost structure
and earnings power in the long-term. In addition, the bank continues to be well
capitalized with a strong Tier-1 core leverage ratio of 9.1% at the end of the
quarter," said Lau.

Net interest income in the third quarter of 2009 was $50.5 million compared to
$52.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. Lower average earning asset balances
and yields were partially offset by lower funding costs. Net interest margin
grew to 4.23% in the third quarter of 2009, compared with 4.16% in the second
quarter of 2009 and 4.08% in the third quarter of 2008.

The bank recorded a $5.2 million provision for loan losses for the third quarter
of 2009 compared with $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $2.0
million in the third quarter of 2008. The majority of the provision in the third
quarter of 2009 reflected an increase in nonperforming residential lot loans and
1-4 family mortgages. A large component of the second quarter 2009 provision
related to a large single commercial credit which was partially charged-off.
This credit was sold in September 2009 for a pre-tax gain of $3.0 million and
was included in bank noninterest income.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2009 was $11.9 million, compared
with $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $16.7 million in the third
quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 noninterest income was reduced by $9.9
million for the other-than-temporary-impairment of certain private-issue
mortgage-related securities, compared with $5.6 million in the second quarter of
2009 and none in the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the effects of the
other-than-temporary impairment charges in the third and second quarters of 2009
and the gain on sale of a single commercial credit in the third quarter of 2009,
the increases in adjusted noninterest income were 13% quarter over quarter and
1% over the second quarter1. These increases reflect increases in deposit fees
and gains on sales of residential loans.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2009 was $39.6 million, compared
with $44.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $42.4 million for the same
period in 2008. On an adjusted basis, noninterest expense decreased by $5.1
million quarter over quarter and $1.8 million over the second quarter of 2009,
reflecting progress in the bank`s efforts to reduce its cost structure.1 "The
bank`s performance improvement project remains on track toward its goal of
reducing annualized adjusted noninterest expense to $140-$145 million by the end
of 2010," said Lau.1

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES` RESULTS

The holding and other companies` net losses were $4.4 million in the third
quarter of 2009, relatively flat compared with $4.1 million in the third quarter
of 2008.

American Savings Bank, F.S.B., one of Hawaii`s largest financial institutions.

EXPLANATION OF HEI`S USE OF CERTAIN UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

HEI and bank management use certain non-GAAP measures in their evaluation of the
bank`s performance and believe the presentations of such financial measures on
this basis provide useful supplemental information and a clearer picture of the
bank`s operating performance, and are a better indicator of the bank`s ongoing
core operating activities. Management also uses such measures to assist
investors/analysts in better understanding the bank`s progress on the execution
of its process improvement initiative. These measures are also useful in
understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance
of others in the financial services industry.

Management utilizes non-GAAP financial measures of noninterest income and
expense in the calculation of certain of the bank`s metrics/ratios, such as (i)
efficiency, (ii) pretax, preprovision income, and (iii) return on average assets
to analyze on a consistent basis and over a longer period of time the
performance of the bank`s core operating activities. Management also annualizes
the non-GAAP measure of noninterest expense by multiplying such measure by 4 to
develop an estimate of adjusted noninterest expense for a year-long period. This
annualized adjusted noninterest expense metric (non-GAAP measure) may not
reflect actual results.

Certain reconciling items-real estate transactions, professional services,
FISERV conversion costs, severance, technology write-offs, prepayment penalty on
early extinguishment of debt, and a loss on sale of Bishop Insurance Agency-are
being incurred pursuant to the bank management`s performance improvement
initiative which was announced in June 2008 and is expected to conclude by the
end of 2010. These costs are being incurred with the objective of increasing the
bank`s operating efficiency and profitability. Accordingly, bank management
believes that these costs will remain temporarily elevated while the performance
improvement project is being executed and will be reduced or eliminated once the
project has ended. See schedule on last page of this release for a tabular
reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures.

Reported noninterest income is being adjusted by a gain on sale of a commercial
loan. Bank management believes that it would not be appropriate to assume that
the bank would realize material gains on a quarterly basis.

Likewise, bank management also adds back to noninterest income charges related
to the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of mortgage-related securities
because of the material nature of the charge and the unpredictability of when
those charges might occur in the future. The bank incurred material OTTI in the
fourth quarter of 2008 and the second and third quarters of 2009, impacting the
comparability of noninterest income for those quarters with the linked quarters
and the same quarters of the previous year. Management believes that adjusting
noninterest income to exclude the effects of OTTI helps the comparability of
noninterest income quarter to quarter and quarter over quarter.

Lastly, management adjusts noninterest expense to exclude a special assessment
levied by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) pursuant to the
FDIC`s plan to recapitalize the deposit insurance fund. While the FDIC may make
future special assessments pursuant to this plan, in September 2009, it proposed
a restoration plan that requires banks to prepay estimated quarterly assessments
for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. Such prepaid
assessments would be amortized over these periods. In any event, bank management
believes that it would not be appropriate to assume that the bank would incur
these special assessments on a quarterly basis. Further, excluding the FDIC
charge is consistent with the financial measures used by other banks and
enhances the comparison of operating performance.

Limitations associated with utilizing non-GAAP measures are the risks of
disagreement over the appropriateness of adjustments comprising these measures
and that other companies might calculate these measures differently. Management
addresses these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP
information and non-GAAP measures. See reconciliation on the last page.
