HONOLULU, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the first quarter of 2015 of $31.9 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share (EPS). Excluding $4.7 million after-tax of merger-related costs associated with the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, core earnings1 for the first quarter of 2015 were $36.6 million or $0.35 EPS compared to $45.8 million or $0.45 EPS for the same quarter last year.

"First quarter earnings were in line with our expectations. Our utility continues to move ahead with its clean energy transformation and leads the nation with an estimated 12 percent of customers with rooftop solar systems and 21 percent of energy from renewable resources. Working collaboratively and innovatively with industry partners and other interested stakeholders, we can achieve a sustainable clean energy future for Hawaii," said Constance H. Lau, HEI president and chief executive officer.

"Our bank, American Savings Bank, continued to deliver solid results with excellent deposit growth and a high credit quality loan portfolio in a strong Hawaii economy. American's solid results enabled it to pay dividends of $7.5 million to HEI in the quarter while maintaining healthy capital levels," added Lau.

"With regard to our bank spin and utility merger transactions, we made good progress in the quarter.  During April, both NextEra Energy and the Hawaiian Electric companies hosted informational open houses across Hawaii to allow our communities the opportunity to ask questions and engage with NextEra Energy in what we hope is the beginning of a long and beneficial relationship. NextEra Energy has a proven track record of lowering customer bills, and we cannot imagine a better partner to help us accelerate Hawaii's clean energy transformation," said Lau.  Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval was received in March, and shareholders will vote on the merger on May 12. In addition, the bank accomplished an important step towards its planned spin-off by filing its Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY EARNINGS CONSISTENT WITH EXPECTATIONS

Hawaiian Electric Company's2 net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $26.9 million. Excluding $0.3 million after-tax of merger-related costs associated with the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc., core earnings3 for the first quarter of 2015 were $27.1 million compared to $35.4 million for the same quarter last year. The $8.3 million decline was mainly the result of higher other operations and maintenance (O&M) expense in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year. Further details of the net income drivers are mainly as follows on an after-tax basis:

  • $9 million higher other operations and maintenance (O&M) expense4 primarily due to:
    • $3 million higher transmission, distribution and generation maintenance costs;
    • $1 million higher overhaul costs in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year quarter that included no major overhauls;
    • $1 million higher bad debt reserves for one customer account;
    • $1 million higher consulting costs for our energy transformation plans;
    • $1 million accrued costs for damage to combined heat and power generating unit;
    • $1 million higher employee benefit costs; and
    • $1 million higher other expenses
  • $2 million higher depreciation expense in 2015 as a result of increasing investments for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability and greater system efficiency.

These decreases were partially offset (on an after-tax basis) by $3 million higher net revenues5 compared to the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to the $4 million greater estimated recovery of costs for reliability and clean energy investments less $1 million due to reduced fuel efficiency performance of the generation units on Oahu and Hawaii Island in the first quarter of 2015 stemming from the increased integration of intermittent renewable energy.

AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK CONTINUES TO DELIVER SOLID PERFORMANCE

American Savings Bank's (American) net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $13.5 million compared to $12.1 million in the fourth (or linked) quarter of 2014 and $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. First quarter 2015 net income was $1.4 million higher than the linked quarter primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $1 million lower provision for loan losses; and
  • $1 million higher noninterest income, especially higher mortgage banking income from gains on the sale of newly originated mortgages.

These were partially offset by $1 million (after-tax) lower net interest income primarily due to interest and fees related to commercial loan payoffs in the fourth quarter of 2014.   

Compared to the first quarter of 2014, net income declined by $0.9 million. The decline was primarily driven by the following on an after-tax basis:

  • $2 million gain in the first quarter of 2014 on the sale of the municipal bond securities portfolio; and
  • $2 million higher noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2015 due primarily to higher pension expense from the effect of a lower discount rate and changes in national mortality tables.

These were largely offset by (on an after-tax basis):

  • $1 million higher mortgage banking income and fee income on deposits in the first quarter of 2015; and
  • $1 million higher net interest income in the first quarter of 2015 driven by the growth in the lending portfolio.

Overall, American achieved solid profitability in the first quarter of 2015 with a return on average equity of 9.96% and a return on average assets of 0.96%.

For additional information, refer to the American news release issued on April 30, 2015.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies' net losses were $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding costs related to the pending merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, the first quarter of 2015 net loss was $4.0 million, consistent with the first quarter of 2014.

2015 EPS GUIDANCE

The company is maintaining its 2015 EPS guidance range of $1.64 to $1.74, excluding any expenses related to the pending merger and spin-off transactions, but is now guiding towards the lower end of the range. This is the result of the early equity forward settlement of 4.7 million shares in March 2015 and the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) decision and order which provides clarity on the Schedule B decoupling mechanism issues. For additional information, refer to HEI's Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2015. 

We reaffirm our key assumptions for 2015 EPS guidance disclosed on February 12, 2015, in our yearend earnings call except for the following. The utilities have re-evaluated the timing of their 2015-2017 net capital expenditures, revising their prior 3-year forecast from a range of $1.1 billion to $2.0 billion downward to a range of $0.8 billion to $1.7 billion.  2015 is the transitional year under the revised rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) and our utility will propose a new approval process for projects exceeding the new GDPPI cap under the revised mechanism.  Given the change to the RAM, the number of other high priority issues currently before the PUC and our continuing refinement of our transformation plans, we have reduced our forecast for 2015 net capital expenditures from $420 million to $250 million.  As a result, the utility will not need the previously estimated $60 million HEI equity infusion and is re-evaluating the amount of debt needed in 2015.  The 2015 rate base growth is now expected to be between 1.5% to 3.0%.

BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

On May 5, 2015, the board of directors maintained HEI's quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 cents per share, payable on June 10, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2015 (ex-dividend date is May 20, 2015). The dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $­­1.24 per share.

Dividends have been paid continuously since 1901. At the indicated annual dividend rate and the closing share price on May 5, 2015 of $31.19, HEI's yield is 4.0%.

NO WEBCAST AND CONFERENCE CALL
MAY 12, 2015 SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING

Due to the upcoming special meeting of shareholders to be held on May 12, 2015, there will not be a webcast and conference call to discuss first quarter results and 2015 earnings per share guidance this quarter.

HEI supplies power to approximately 450,000 customers or 95% of Hawaii's population through its electric utilities, Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. and Maui Electric Company, Limited and provides a wide array of banking and other financial services to consumers and businesses through American Savings Bank, one of Hawaii's largest financial institutions.

This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, ASB Hawaii, Inc.'s Form 10 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2015 and HEI's Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (when filed), as updated by SEC Forms 8-K.

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 the adjusted return on average common equity (ROACE) for the utility and HEI consolidated.

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. and the spin-off of ASB Hawaii, Inc.  For more information on the pending merger, see HEI's definitive proxy statement on Form DEFM14A filed on March 26, 2015.  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 costs related to the pending merger discussed above. "O&M-related net income neutral items" which are O&M expenses covered by specific surcharges or by third parties have also been excluded.  These "O&M-related net income neutral items" are grossed-up in revenue and expense and do not impact net income.
