Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) today reported 2014 year-end consolidated net income for common stock of $168.3 million, or diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.64. For the fourth quarter of 2014, consolidated net income for common stock was $33.2 million, or $0.32 EPS. Excluding $4.9 million after-tax of merger-related costs associated with the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, core earnings[1] for 2014 were $173.2 million or $1.68 EPS, compared to $161.5 million or $1.62 EPS in 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2014, core earnings[1] were $37.5 million or $0.36 EPS compared to $39.0 million or $0.39 EPS for the same quarter last year.

"We continued to grow our businesses in steady fashion and delivered a competitive core return on equity[1] of 9.8% for the year as HEI's combination of companies continues to provide us with the financial resources to efficiently invest in future opportunities," said Constance Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer. "Our utility continued to invest in the modernization and improvement of our electric grid as we integrated more renewable energy. These investments helped us achieve an energy portfolio powered by 21% renewable sources in 2014, far in excess of Hawaii's 2015 RPS target of 15%. Thirteen percent of Oahu residential customers now have customer-sited solar, a rate of integration that leads the nation. Even as recent oil price decreases have brought our customers bill relief, we remain focused on further reducing costs for our customers with proposed grid-scale solar and wind projects. We also are working with other stakeholders to bring liquefied natural gas to Hawaii as a cleaner, lower-cost alternative to oil while we continue to aggressively pursue more renewable generation sources. Furthermore, as we did earlier in 2014 for Hawaiian Electric, we recently filed our abbreviated rate case for Maui Electric in which we offered to forgo the opportunity to request additional base revenues."

"Our bank delivered solid financial results in 2014 in a challenging regulatory and interest rate environment. We produced strong loan growth while improving credit quality and maintaining healthy capital levels. Our bank continues to improve the ways it delivers to its customers and is poised in 2015 to continue growing its balance sheet and earnings," said Lau.

"Last December we announced our proposed merger with NextEra Energy, and we are looking forward to working with NextEra Energy as a partner to help accelerate Hawaii's clean energy transformation. We also announced the related spin off of American Savings Bank, and we are very confident that American, as a new, publicly-traded entity, will remain a strong community bank for Hawaii," added Lau.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS CONSISTENT WITH EXPECTATIONS

Full Year Results:

Hawaiian Electric Company's[5] full-year 2014 net income was $137.6 million compared to $122.9 million in 2013. The $14.7 million increase from the prior year was driven by the following items on an after-tax basis:

  • Net revenues[6] were $31 million higher compared to the prior year primarily due to $29 million in 2014 revenues attributable to the recovery of costs for clean energy and reliability investments and a $3 million refund to Maui Electric customers which reduced 2013 revenues, partially offset by $1 million due to reduced fuel efficiency performance; and
  • Higher allowance for funds used during construction of $1 million.

These increases were partially offset by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $8 million higher depreciation expense in 2014 as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency;
  • O&M expenses[4] were $3 million higher in 2014 compared to the prior year. However, excluding the unanticipated Tropical Storm Iselle restoration expenses and consulting costs associated with our energy transformation plans, O&M expenses for 2014 would have decreased by approximately $4 million compared to the prior year. Included in 2014 O&M expenses were grid modernization program costs for smart grid installations and the upgrade of our customer information system which were more than offset by lower customer services expenses, lower overhaul costs due to reduced scope of work and savings from the deactivation of generating units compared to the prior year;
  • Higher interest expense and other charges, net of $3 million in 2014, including lower revenue balancing account (RBA) interest income of $2 million primarily due to the lower interest rates applied; and
  • A favorable deferred income tax adjustment of $3 million recorded in 2013 related to prior years.

Fourth Quarter Results:

Fourth quarter 2014 net income was $29.1 million compared to $32.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The $2.9 million decline from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the following items on an after-tax basis:

  • O&M expenses[4] were $8 million higher in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the prior quarter. This is largely due to no major overhauls in the fourth quarter of 2013, consulting costs associated with our energy transformation plans, the customer information system upgrade, and the initial phase of our smart grid installations as part of our grid modernization program, partially offset by the savings from the deactivation of generating units; and
  • Depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $2 million higher than the prior year quarter due to increases in utility property, plant and equipment.

These increases were partially offset by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • Net revenues[6] were $6 million higher compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to 2014 revenues attributable to the recovery of costs for clean energy and reliability investments; and
  • Tax-related items of $1 million.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK: SOLID PERFORMANCE AND LOAN GROWTH

Full Year Results:

American Savings Bank's (American) net income for 2014 was $51.5 million compared to $57.5 million in 2013. Lower 2014 earnings compared to the prior year reflected the continued impact of regulatory changes and the low interest rate environment. The primary drivers impacting net income for the year were as follows on an after-tax basis: 

  • $7 million lower noninterest income primarily due to lower mortgage banking income related to the decline in refinancing volume, lower interchange fees as a result of rate caps mandated by the Durbin Amendment, which became effective for American in July 2013, and the gain reflected in the prior year related to the sale of the credit card portfolio;
  • $3 million higher provision for loan losses due primarily to normal growth in the loan portfolio and the $1 million release of reserves in 2013 related to the sale of the credit card portfolio; and
  • $3 million higher net interest income as contributions from loan growth more than offset the lower yields on loans.

American achieved strong loan growth of 6.8% in 2014 despite the competitive Hawaii market environment, and credit quality improved with the 2014 net charge-off ratio of 0.01% of average loans compared to 0.09% in 2013. Total deposits were $4.6 billion at December 31, 2014, an increase of $251 million from December 31, 2013.

Overall, American's return on average equity for the full year remained solid at 9.6% in 2014 compared to 11.4% in 2013, and the return on average assets was 0.95% in 2014 compared to 1.13% in 2013.

Fourth Quarter Results:

Fourth quarter 2014 net income of $12.0 million was $1.2 million lower than the linked quarter and $0.2 million lower than the same quarter of 2013. Compared to the linked quarter of 2014, the $1.2 million net income decline was primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $1 million higher noninterest expense largely attributable to the settlement of a purported class action lawsuit related to overdraft fees on debit card transactions and costs related to the strategic designation of a new corporate campus in Honolulu;
  • $1 million higher provision for loan losses related to loan growth in the quarter; and
  • $1 million of higher net interest income primarily due to loan growth.

American's fourth quarter 2014 return on average equity was 8.8%, compared to 9.9% in the linked quarter and 9.6% in the same quarter last year. Return on average assets was 0.87% for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 0.98% from the linked quarter and 0.94% in the same quarter last year.

Also refer to the American news release issued on January 30, 2015.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies' net losses were $20.8 million in 2014 compared to $18.9 million in 2013. Fourth quarter net losses were $8.0 million in 2014 compared to $5.2 million in the fourth quarter 2013. The full year 2014 and the fourth quarter 2014 net loss included $4.9 million after-tax and $4.3 million after-tax, respectively, of costs related to the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and expenses incurred in connection with plans to spin off ASB Hawaii. Excluding the pending merger-related costs, the full year and the fourth quarter 2014 net loss declined primarily due to lower interest expense compared to 2013.

EXPLANATION OF HEI'S USE OF CERTAIN UNAUDITED NON-GAAP MEASURES

HEI and Hawaiian Electric Company management use certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the utility and HEI.  Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies' core operating activities.  Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.  The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP1 earnings to non-GAAP core earnings and diluted earnings per share for HEI consolidated and the adjusted return on average common equity (ROACE).

The reconciling adjustment from GAAP earnings to core earnings is limited to the costs related to the pending merger between HEI and NextEra Energy, Inc.  For more information on the pending merger, see HEI's Form 8-K filed on December 4, 2014. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company's fundamental core earnings.

The accompanying table also provides the calculation of utility GAAP O&M adjusted for "O&M-related net income neutral items" which are O&M expenses covered by specific surcharges or by third parties.  This item is grossed-up in revenue and expense and does not impact net income.
