PART I
ITEM 1.    BUSINESS
ITEM 1.BUSINESS
HEI Consolidated
HEI and subsidiaries and lines of business.  HEI is a holding company with its subsidiaries principally engaged in electric utility, banking, and non-regulated renewable/sustainable infrastructure investment businesses operating in the State of Hawaii. HEI was incorporated in 1981 under the laws of the State of Hawaii. HEI’s predecessor, Hawaiian Electric, was incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii (now the State of Hawaii) on October 13, 1891. As a result of a 1983 corporate reorganization, Hawaiian Electric became an HEI subsidiary and common shareholders of Hawaiian Electric became common shareholders of HEI. As a holding company with no significant operations of its own, HEI’s sources of funds are dividends or other distributions from its operating subsidiaries, borrowings, and sales of equity. The rights of HEI and its creditors and shareholders to participate in any distribution of the assets of any of HEI’s subsidiaries are subject to the prior claims of the creditors and preferred shareholders of such subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of HEI in its capacity as a creditor are recognized as primary. The abilities of certain of HEI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI are subject to contractual and regulatory restrictions (see Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). HEI is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii and has three reportable segments—Electric utility, Bank, and Other.
Electric Utility.Utility. Hawaiian Electric and its operating utility subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (Hawaii Electric Light) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (Maui Electric), are regulated electric public utilities that provide essential electric service to approximately 95% of Hawaii’s population through the operation of five separate grids that serve communities on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai. Over the past few years, the three utilities have been working on restructuring their functions and processes across the islands under an initiative to improve operational efficiencies, provide consistent positive customer experience, and reduce cost. This initiative was substantially completed in 2019 and, as of January 1, 2020, the three utilities now operate under one brand, “Hawaiian Electric,” on all five islands served by the utilities, but remain three separate entities. See also “Electric utility” section below.
Bank.Bank HEI acquired American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB) in 1988. . ASB is one of the largest financial institutions in the State of Hawaii (based on total assets), with assets totaling approximately $7.2$9.2 billion as of December 31, 2019.2021. ASB provides a wide array of banking and other financial services to Hawaii consumers and businesses. See also “Bank” section below.
Other.Other. The “Other” segment is composed of HEI’s corporate-level operating, general and administrative expenses and the results of Pacific Current, LLC (Pacific Current). Pacific Current was formed in September 2017 to focus on investing in non-regulated clean energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii to help reach the state’s sustainability goals. See also “Electric utility—Hawaii Electric Light firm capacity PPAs” section below and Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Pacific Current activities. The “Other” segment also includes ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii) (a holding company, formerly known as American Savings Holdings, Inc.)company), which owns ASB, and The Old Oahu Tug Service, Inc. (TOOTS), which is inactive.
Additional information. For additional information about HEI, see HEI’s MD&A, HEI’s “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and HEI’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s website address is www.hei.com, where annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports (last 10 years) are made available free of charge in the Investor Relations section as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC (and available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov). The information on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 10-K unless, and except to the extent, specifically incorporated herein by reference. HEI and Hawaiian Electric intend to continue to use HEI’s website as a means of disclosing additional information. Accordingly, investors should routinely monitor such portions of HEI’s website, in addition to following HEI’s, Hawaiian Electric’s and ASB’s press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. Investors may also wish to refer to the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms in order to review documents filed with and issued by the PUC. No information at the PUC website is incorporated herein by reference, and the Company has no control over its accuracy or completeness.
Regulation. HEI and Hawaiian Electric are each holding companies within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and implementing regulations, which requires holding companies and their subsidiaries to grant the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) access to books and records relating to FERC’s jurisdictional rates. FERC granted HEI and Hawaiian Electric a waiver from its record retention, accounting and reporting requirements, effective May 2006.


HEI is subject to an agreement entered into with the PUC (the PUC Agreement) which, among other things, requires PUC approval of any change in control of HEI. The PUC Agreement also requires HEI to provide the PUC with periodic financial information and other reports concerning intercompany transactions and other matters. It also prohibits the electric utilities from loaning funds to HEI or its nonutility subsidiaries and from redeeming common stock of the electric utility subsidiaries without PUC approval. Further, the PUC could limit the ability of the electric utility subsidiaries to pay dividends on their common stock. See also Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Electric utility—Regulation” below.
In October 2021, Pacific Current requested informal guidance from the PUC regarding application of the affiliate transaction requirements (ATRs) to certain investments. In response, in January 2022, the PUC issued guidance (Order No. 38186, Docket No. 2018-0065) providing that, if Pacific Current acquires or invests in an unaffiliated entity that has been awarded a power purchase agreement with the Utilities through the Stage 1 or 2 RFPs, such entity would become an “Affiliate”
1

or “Affiliate-Related Entity” under the ATRs, and any wholesale power transactions between the entity and the Utilities, including under the awarded power purchase agreement, would require PUC review and approval. Such a requirement may impact Pacific Current’s competitiveness in acquiring and investing in new utility-scale projects in the Utilities’ service territory and thereby impact the pace and extent of Pacific Current’s growth. Pacific Current is still reviewing the guidance and has not yet determined its impact.
HEI and ASB Hawaii are subject to Federal Reserve Board (FRB) regulation, supervision and reporting requirements as savings and loan holding companies. As a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, supervision and regulation of HEI and ASB Hawaii, as thrift holding companies, moved to the FRB, and supervision and regulation of ASB, as a federally chartered savings bank, moved to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in July 2011. In the event the OCC has reasonable cause to believe that any activity of HEI or ASB Hawaii constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of ASB, the OCC is authorized to impose certain restrictions on HEI, ASB Hawaii and/or any of their subsidiaries. Possible restrictions include precluding or limiting: (i) the payment of dividends by ASB; (ii) transactions between ASB, HEI or ASB Hawaii, and their subsidiaries or affiliates; and (iii) any activities of ASB that might expose ASB to the liabilities of HEI and/or ASB Hawaii and their other affiliates. See also Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (Gramm Act) permitted banks, insurance companies and investment firms to compete directly against each other, thereby allowing “one-stop shopping” for an array of financial services. Although the Gramm Act further restricted the creation of so-called “unitary savings and loan holding companies” (i.e., companies such as HEI whose subsidiaries include one or more savings associations and one or more nonfinancial subsidiaries), the unitary savings and loan holding company relationship among HEI, ASB Hawaii and ASB is “grandfathered” under the Gramm Act so that HEI and its subsidiaries will be able to continue to engage in their current activities so long as ASB maintains its qualified thrift lender (QTL) status test discussed under “Bank—Regulation—Qualified thrift lender test.” ASB met the QTL test at all times during 2019;2021; however, the failure of ASB to satisfy the QTL test in the future could result in a need for HEI to divest ASB. Under the Gramm Act, any proposed sale of ASB would have to satisfy applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and potential acquirers of ASB would most likely be limited to companies that are already qualified as, or capable of qualifying as, either a traditional savings and loan association holding company or a bank holding company, or as one of the authorized financial holding companies permitted under the Gramm Act.
HEI is also affected by provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to corporate governance and executive compensation, including provisions requiring shareholder “say on pay” and “say on pay frequency” votes, mandating additional disclosures concerning executive compensation and compensation consultants and advisors and further restricting proxy voting by brokers in the absence of instructions. See “Bank—Legislation and regulation” in HEI’s MD&A for a discussion of effects of the Dodd-Frank Act on HEI and ASB.
Environmental regulation.  HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to federal and state statutes and governmental regulations pertaining to water quality, air quality and other environmental factors. See the “Environmental regulation” discussions in the “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections below, and Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The employees of HEI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than the electric utilities, are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1260 represents roughly half of the Utilities’ workforce covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires on October 31, 2021.2024.
Diversity & inclusion. The diversity of the Company’s workforce, which includes diversity of people, backgrounds, experiences, thoughts and perspectives, gives the Company an advantage that helps guide the Company’s decision-making and its ability to meet its customers’ and community’s needs.Additionally, because the Company’s businesses operate exclusively in Hawaii, which is one of the most racially diverse states in the U.S., the Company believes it is important that its workforce reflects this diversity. The diversity information that follows is based on total employees, including employees on long-term leave, part-time employees and temporary employees.

Safety and health. As a key priority, the Company strives to create workplace environments where employees feel physically and emotionally safe. For the Utility, safety is of paramount importance due to the inherent risks involved in certain aspects of its operations and the critical importance to the State of Hawaii of maintaining the electrical grid. During the
3

COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has continued to modify its operations and policies to align with guidance from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention and the Hawaii Department of Health. The Company also monitors the rates of infection within the state and makes adjustments, accordingly, to limit the risk of transmission in the workplace and ensure the health of the Company’s employees.
Hawaiian Electric. Hawaiian Electric is committed to maintaining a strong safety culture. Due to the nature of its operations, safety is of paramount importance. Management strives to provide visible leadership and strategic direction for the health and safety management system and programs in their area of responsibility. This leadership and direction help to build and maintain a strong safety culture and drive safety improvement, allocates adequate resources to enable implementation of safety programs and holds leaders accountable for the implementation of safety programs and resulting health and safety performance.

Electric utility
Hawaiian Electric and subsidiaries and service areas. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric (Utilities) are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu; Hawaii; and Maui, Lanai and Molokai, respectively. Over the past few years, the three utilities have been working on restructuring their functions and processes across the islands under an initiative to improve operational efficiencies, provide consistent positive customer experience, and reduce cost. This initiative was substantially completed in 2019 and, as of January 1, 2020, the three utilities now operate under one brand, “Hawaiian Electric,” on all five islands served by the utilities, but remain three separate entities.
4

In 2019,2021, the electric utilities’ revenues and net income amounted to approximately 89% and 72% respectively, of HEI’s consolidated revenues and net income, compared to approximately 88% and 86% in 2020 and approximately 89% and 71%72% in 2018 and approximately 88% and 73% in 2017,2019, respectively.
The islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai have a combined population estimated at 1.41.3 million, or approximately 95% of the total population of the State of Hawaii, and comprise a service area of 5,815 square miles. The principal communities served include Honolulu (on Oahu), Hilo and Kona (on Hawaii) and Wailuku and Kahului (on Maui). The service areas also include numerous suburban communities, resorts, U.S. Armed Forces installations and agricultural operations. In November 2020, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s acquisition of the electric distribution systems serving 12 U.S. Army installations on Oahu, including Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Tripler Army Medical Center, Fort Shafter and Army housing areas.
The state has granted Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric nonexclusive franchises, which authorize the Utilities to construct, operate and maintain facilities over and under public streets and sidewalks. Each of these franchises will continue in effect for an indefinite period of time until forfeited, altered, amended or repealed.
Climate change action plan. The Utilities have set an aggressive goal to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. The emissions covered by this goal include stack emissions from generation owned by Hawaiian Electric and independent power producers (IPPs) who sell electricity to the Utilities. In addition, the Utilities have committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from power generation by 2045 or sooner. These commitments are aligned with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommendation of no more than 1.5°C average global warming to avoid potentially devastating climate events.
Key elements of the 2030 plan to reduce emissions include:
•    The closing of the state’s last coal plant in 2022 upon expiry of the PPA
•    Adding nearly 50,000 rooftop solar systems, more than a 50% increase, compared to the approximately 90,000 systems online in 2021
•    Retiring at least six fossil-fueled generating units and significantly reducing the use of others as new renewable resources come online
•    Adding additional renewable energy projects capable of generating a total of at least 1 gigawatt beyond resources in place in 2021, including shared solar (community-based renewable energy)
•    Using more grid-scale and customer-owned energy storage
•    Expanding geothermal resources
•    Creating innovative programs that provide customers incentives for using clean, lower-cost energy at certain times of the day and using less fossil-fueled energy at night

By 2030, Hawaiian Electric’s renewable portfolio standard is expected to exceed 70%, with renewable resources available to provide close to 100% of the electricity generated on Hawaii Island and in Maui County. Achieving the 70% carbon emissions reduction by 2030 is highly dependent on the successful completion of renewable IPP projects under Phase 1, Phase 2 and other RFPs.
After 2030, progress on elimination of carbon from power generation assumes continued use of proven resources, including wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, biofuels and energy storage, along with the development of new technologies. Those technologies may include offshore wind, green hydrogen, wave energy and carbon-capture—all currently under development around the world—as well as other solutions that will emerge. A diverse portfolio of resources will also enhance resilience to climate-related events.

Regulatory mechanisms. Base electric rates are set in rate cases, and each ofon April 29, 2020, the three utilities is currently on aPUC issued an order terminating the mandatory triennial rate case cycle.cycle in anticipation of the performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). The regulatory framework includesin effect in 2020 included a number of mechanisms designed to provide utility financial stability during the transition toward the state’s 100% renewable energy goals. For example, under the sales decoupling mechanism, the utilitiesUtilities are allowed to recover from customers, target test year revenues, independent of the level of kilowatthourkilowatt-hour (kWh) sales, which have declined with the exception of 2019,measured on an annual basis from 2008 to 2018, as privately-owned distributed energy resources have been added to the grid and energy efficiency measures have been put into place.
On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O in Phase 2 of the PBR proceeding, establishing a new PBR Framework for the Utilities. The PBR Framework includes, among other matters, a five-year multi-year rate plan with an index-driven annual revenue adjustment (ARA), which replaces the RAM, modification of the MPIR mechanism (renamed Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM)) to include deferred and operation and maintenance (O&M) expense projects and to 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, and continuation of (i) the revenue balancing account, (ii) the pension and other postretirement benefit tracking mechanisms, and (iii) energy cost recovery clause, purchased power adjustment clause, and other recovery mechanisms. See “Commitments and contingencies-Regulatory proceedings-Performance-based regulation framework” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A summary of these regulatory mechanisms, most of which have been either maintained, modified, or approved under PBR as noted, is as follows:
MechanismDescriptionPBR Framework (effective June 2021)
Sales decouplingProvides predictable revenue stream by fixing net revenues at the level approved in last rate case (revenues not linked to kWh sales)Maintained under PBR
Annual Revenue adjustment mechanism (RAM)Adjustment (ARA)Annually adjusts revenue levels during a Multi-Year Rate Period, determined by formula which includes an inflation factor, a predetermined productivity adjustment (currently set at zero), adjustments for exceptional circumstances not in the Utilities’ control and a customer dividend.Replaced the Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (RAM) effective June 1, 2021. The transition to recover general inflationthe ARA includes the continuation of operations and maintenance expenses and baseline plant additions between rate casesthe 2020 RAM revenue adjustment.
Major Projects InterimExceptional Project Recovery adjustment mechanism (MPIR)Mechanism (EPRM)Reduces regulatory lag and permits recovery of revenues for net costs of approved eligible projects placed in between rate casesservice during the Multi-Year Rate Period through the revenue balancing account (RBA) that is not provided for by other effective tariffs, the ARA, Performance Incentive Mechanism (PIMS) or Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs).Formerly known as the Major Projects Interim Recovery adjustment mechanism (MPIR). The EPRM was modified to include recovery of both capital and O&M expenses and to permit the Utilities to include the full amount of approved costs (netfor recovery in the first year that projects are placed into service, pro-rated for the portion of benefits) for major capitalthe year that projects including, but not restricted to, projects to advance renewable energyare in service.
Energy cost recovery clause (ECRC) and purchased power adjustment clause (PPAC)Allows for timely recovery of fuel and purchased power costs to reduce earnings volatility. Symmetrical fossil fuel cost risk-sharing (98% customer/2% utility) mechanism established for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric capped at $2.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million annually, respectively. Hawaii Electric Light’s ECRC does not have cost risk-sharing mechanismMaintained under PBR
Performance incentive mechanism (PIM) / Shared Savings Mechanism (SSM)Annually adjusts revenue to recover from or credit customers for specific areas of the Utilities’ performance measured against the PUC’s approved targets.Maintained under PBR with a portfolio of SSMs and new PIMs added to encourage acceleration in renewables, grid services, interconnection, low-to-moderate income energy efficiency, and advanced metering infrastructure and allows for financial rewards for exemplary performance.
Pension and other post-employment benefit trackersAllow tracking of pension and other post-employment benefit costs and contributions above or below the cost included in rates in a separate regulatory asset/liability accountMaintained under PBR
Renewable energy infrastructure programPermits recovery of renewable energy infrastructure projects through a surchargeMaintained under PBR
Expedited Pilot Process
Fosters innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that test new technologies, programs, business models and other arrangements.Proposed pilots are subject to PUC approval with a total annual cap of $10 million.
Approved under PBR to allow for timely cost recovery of annual expenditures of approved pilot projects through an adjustment to target revenues.
Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM)Protects the Utilities and customers from excessive earnings or losses, as measured by the Utilities’ achieved rate making ROACE.Maintained under PBR, adjusted to reflect 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.

Seasonality. kWh sales of the Utilities follow a seasonal pattern, but they do not experience extreme seasonal variations experienced by some electric utilities on the U.S. mainland. In Hawaii, kWh sales tend to increase in the warmer, more humid months as a result of increased demand for air conditioning, and with cloudy and rainy weather due to lower production by


privately owned customer PVphotovoltaic (PV) systems. In 2019,2021, kWh sales increased overcompared to the prior year due to warmerthe easing of pandemic related restrictions and more humid than average weather and this isincreased domestic travel to Hawaii, which in turn increased the first time kWh sales have increased over prior year since 2007.demand for electricity.
Significant customers. The Utilities derived approximately 11% of their operating revenues in 2019, 2018each of 2021, 2020 and 20172019 from the sale of electricity to various federal government agencies. Hawaiian Electric continues to work with various federal agencies to implement measures that will help them achieve their energy efficiency, resilience and clean energy objectives.

Noncoincident and nonintegrated.

Generating reliability and reserve margin.  Hawaiian Electric serves the island of Oahu and Hawaii Electric Light serves the island of Hawaii. Maui Electric has three separate electrical systems—one each on the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric have isolated electrical systems that are not currently interconnected to each other or to any other electrical grid and, thus, each maintains a higher level of reserve generation and cost structure than is typically carried by interconnected mainland U.S. utilities, which are able to share reserve capacity. These higher levels of reserve margins are required to meet peak electric demands, to provide for scheduled maintenance of generating units (including the units operated by IPPs relied upon for firm capacity) and to allow for the forced outage of the largest generating unit in the system.
Nonutility generation.  The Utilities have supported state and federal energy policies which encourage the development of renewable energy sources that reduce the use of fuel oil as well as the development of qualifying facilities. The Utilities’ renewable energy sources and potential sources range from wind, solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, wave and hydroelectric power to energy produced by municipal waste and other biofuels.
The rate schedules of the electric utilities contain ECRCs (changed from ECACs in 2019) and PPACs that allow them to recover costs of fuel and purchase power expenses.
In addition to the firm capacity PPAs described below, the electric utilities also purchase energy on an as-available basis directly from nonutility generators and through its Feed-In Tariff programs. The electric utilities also receive renewable energy from customers under its Net Energy Metering and Customer Grid Supply programs.
The PUC has allowed rate recovery for the firm capacity and purchased energy costs for the electric utilities’ approved firm capacity and as-available energy PPAs.
Hawaiian Electric firm capacity PPAs. Hawaiian Electric currently has three major PPAs that provide a total of 456.5 MW of firm capacity, representing 26% of Hawaiian Electric’s total net generating and firm purchased capacity on the Island of Oahu as of December 31, 2019.2021.

In March 1988, Hawaiian Electric entered into a PPA with AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii), a Hawaii-based, indirect subsidiary of The AES Corporation. The agreement with AES Hawaii, as amended, provides that, for a period of 30 years beginning September 1992 and ending on September 1, 2022, Hawaiian Electric will purchase 180 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity. The AES Hawaii coal-fired cogeneration plant utilizes a “clean coal” technology and is designed to sell sufficient steam to be a “Qualifying Facility” (QF) under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA).technology. See “Commitments and contingencies–Power purchase agreements–AES Hawaii, Inc.” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for an update regarding this PPA.
Under a 1988 PPA, as amended, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 208 MW of firm capacity from Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa). The Kalaeloa facility, which is a QF,Qualifying Facility (QF), is a combined-cycle operation, consisting of two oil-fired combustion turbines burning low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and a steam turbine that utilizes waste heat from the combustion turbines. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa are currently in negotiations to address theThe PPA term that ended on May 23, 2016.

This agreement contemplates continued negotiations between the partiesPUC on November 24, 2021 for review and accounts for time needed for PUC approval of a negotiated resolution.approval.
Hawaiian Electric also entered into a PPA in March 1986 and a firm capacity amendment in April 1991 with the City and County of Honolulu with respect to a refuse-fired plant (HPOWER). Under the PPA, as amended and restated, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 68.5 MW of firm capacity annually throughup until the PPA expires on April 2, 2033.
Hawaii Electric Light firm capacity PPAs. Hawaii Electric Light has two major PPAs that provide a total of 94.683.9 MW of firm capacity, representing 34%32% of Hawaii Electric Light’s total net generating and firm purchased capacity on the Island of Hawaii as of December 31, 2019.2021.
Hawaii Electric Light has a 35-year PPA, as amended, with Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) for 34.6 MW of firm capacity from its geothermal steam facility, which will expire on December 31, 2027. Since May 2018, PGV facility has been offline due to lava flow on Hawaii Island. PGV is committed to restoring their facility to commercial operation. On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light entered into an Amended and Restated PPA with PGV to, among other things, extend the term by 25 years to 2052 and expand the firm capacity capable of being delivered to 46 MW, subject to PUC approval. See “New renewable PPAs” in the “Developments in renewable energy efforts” section in Electric Utility’s MD&A.
In October 1997, Hawaii Electric Light entered into an agreement with Encogen, which was succeeded by Hamakua Energy Partners, L. P. (HEP). The agreement requires Hawaii Electric Light to purchase up to 60 MW (net) of firm capacity for a period of 30 years, expiring on December 31, 2030. The dual-train combined-cycle facility consists of two oil-fired combustion turbines and a steam turbine that utilizes waste heat from the combustion turbines, which primarily burns naphtha (a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons) and, small amountsstarting in late 2019, biodiesel (comprising approximately 21% of biodiesel beginningthe fuel mix in November 2019.2021). In November 2017, Hamakua Energy, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of HEI, purchased the plant from HEP.
Hawaii Electric Light has a 35-year PPA, as amended, with Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) for 34.6 MW of firm capacity from its geothermal steam facility, which will expire on December 31, 2027. However, the PGV facility went offline in May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island. In March 2019, Hawaii Electric Light entered into a Rebuild Agreement with PGV, which sets forth the parties’ respective responsibilities associated with restoration of the facility. The Rebuild Agreement shall govern the terms until PGV becomes fully operational. In December 2019, Hawaii Electric Light entered into an Amended and Restated PPA with PGV to, among other things, extend the term by 25 years to 2052 and expand the firm capacity capable of being delivered to 46 MW, subject to PUC approval. PGV returned to service at a level providing limited output without firm capacity in the fourth quarter of 2020 and is currently providing 23.9 MW of capacity. See “New renewable PPAs” in the “Developments in renewable energy efforts” section in Hawaiian Electric’s MD&A.
In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA with Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC (Hu Honua) for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass on the island of Hawaii. This PPA was approved by the PUC in December 2013, however, the approval was appealed. The Supreme Court of Hawaii issued a decision remanding the matter to the PUC for further proceedings. See “Commitments and contingencies–Power purchase agreements–Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for an update regarding this PPA.
Maui Electric firm capacity PPAs.  Maui Electric has no firm capacity PPAs.
Fuel oil usage and supply.  The rate schedules of the Utilities include ECRCs (changed from ECACs in 2019) under which electric rates (and consequently the revenues of the electric utility subsidiaries generally) are adjusted for changes in the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. See discussion of rates and issues relating to the ECRC below under “Rates,” and “Electric utility—Material“Material estimates and critical accounting policies–Revenues” in HEI’sHawaiian Electric’s MD&A.
Hawaiian Electric’s steam generating units consume low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO)LSFO and Hawaiian Electric’s combustion turbine peaking units consume diesel, including Hawaiian Electric’s Campbell Industrial Park generating facility which recently converted from B99 grade biodiesel to diesel. Hawaiian Electric’s Schofield Generating Station consumes mostly B99 grade biodiesel, but is permitted to also burn ultra lowultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).

Hawaii Electric Light’s and Maui Electric’s steam generating units burn high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) and Hawaii Electric Light’s and Maui Electric’s Maui combustion turbine generating units burn diesel. Hawaii Electric Light’s and Maui Electric’s Maui, Molokai, and Lanai diesel engine generating units burn ULSD.
See “Fuel contracts” in Electric utility’sHawaiian Electric’s MD&A.

The prices that Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric pay for purchased energy from certain older nonutility generators are generally linked to the price of oil. The AES Hawaii energy prices vary primarily with an inflation index. The energy prices for Kalaeloa, which purchases LSFO from Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR), vary primarily with the price of Asian crude oil. A portion ofOn December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement, which delinks the pricing for energy prices are based ondelivered from the electric utilities’ respective short-run avoided energy cost rates (which vary with their compositefacility from fossil fuel costs), subject to minimum floor rates specified in their approved PPA.prices. Hamakua EnergyEnergy’s energy prices vary primarily with the cost of naphtha.
The Utilities estimate that 64%67% of the net energy they generate will come from fossil fuel oil in 20202022 compared to 66%63% in 2019.2021. Hawaiian Electric generally maintains an average system fuel inventory level equivalent to 47 days of forward consumption. Hawaiian Electric is targeting to increase inventory level equivalent to 59 days in 2022 in response to the expiration of the PPA with AES Hawaii on September 1, 2022. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric generally maintain an average system fuel inventory level equivalent to approximately one month’s supply of both HSFO and diesel. The PPAs with AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy require that they maintain certain minimum fuel inventory levels.
Rates.  Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the PUC with respect to rates, issuance of securities, accounting and certain other matters. See “Regulation” below.
General rate increases require the prior approval of the PUC after public and contested case hearings. Rates for Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries include ECRCs, (changed from ECACs in 2019), and PPACs. Under current law and practices, specific and separate PUC approval is not required for each rate change pursuant to automatic rate adjustment clauses previously approved by the PUC. PURPAPublic Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) requires the PUC to periodically review the adjustment clauses related to energy cost of electric and gas utilities in the state, and such clauses, as well as the rates charged by the utilities generally, are subject to change. PUC approval is also required for all surcharges and adjustments before they are reflected in rates.
See “Electric utility–Most recent rate proceedings,” and “Electric utility–Material“Material estimates and critical accounting policies–Revenues” in HEI’sHawaiian Electric’s MD&A and “Interim increases”“Most recent rate proceedings,” and “Utility projects” under “Commitments and contingencies” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Competition.  See “Electric utility–Competition”“Competition” in HEI’sHawaiian Electric’s MD&A.
Regulation.  The PUC regulates the rates, issuance of securities, accounting and certain other aspects of the operations of Hawaiian Electric and its electric utility subsidiaries. See the previous discussion under “Rates” and the discussions under “Electric utility–Results of operations–Most“Most recent rate proceedings.”proceedings” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On September 15, 2014, the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of Energy executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) recognizing that Hawaii is embarking on the next phase of its clean energy future. The MOU provides the framework for a comprehensive, sustained effort to better realize its vast renewable energy potential and allow Hawaii to push forward in three main areas: the power sector, transportation and energy efficiency. This next phase is focused on
11

stimulating deployment of clean energy infrastructure as a catalyst for economic growth, energy system innovation and test bed investments.
Energy efficiency. The PUC issued an order on January 3, 2012 approving a framework for Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards (EEPS) that set 2008 as the initial base year for evaluation and linearly allocated the 2030 goal to interim incremental reduction goals of 1,375 GWH by 2015 and 975 GWH by each of the years 2020, 2025 and 2030. Pursuant to the PUC’s EEPS framework, the PUC has contracted with a public benefits fee administrator to operate and manage energy


efficiency programs, and any incentive and/or penalty mechanisms applicable solely to the public benefit fee administrator and related to the achievement of the goals are at the discretion of the PUC.
The Division of Consumer Advocacy’s 20182019 Compliance Resolution Fund Report states that Hawaii continues to progress towards its 20202030 Renewable Portfolio Standards and EEPS goals. The EEPS has contributed to lower kWh sales; however, the implementation of sales decoupling has delinked sales and revenues. See “Regulatory mechanisms” above.
Electrification of Transportation. In June 2018, the PUC initiated a proceeding to review the Utilities���Utilities’ Electrification of Transportation (EoT) Strategic Roadmap, which provided an economic analysis for light duty electric vehicles on the island of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. In July 2019 the Utilities filed a study analyzing data regarding the critical backbone for electric vehicle charging needs in their service territories. In October 2019, the Utilities filed their EoT Workplan, establishing a schedule to continue implementation of the EoT roadmap with a focus on EV rate design and make-ready charging infrastructure in the near-term. The Utilities followed through on the EoT Workplan in 2020, with three filings: the electric bus make ready infrastructure pilot, Charge Ready Hawaii commercial infrastructure pilot, and two commercial EV rates, EV-J and EV-P. The electric bus make ready infrastructure pilot, EV-J and EV-P, and Charge Ready Hawaii commercial infrastructure pilot were approved by the PUC on May 7, 2021, December 30, 2021 and January 24, 2022, respectively, and will launch in the first and fourth quarters of 2022. In August 2020, the Utilities committed to electrifying 100% of its class 1 vehicles (sedans, SUVs and light trucks) by 2035.
Renewable Portfolio Standards. In 2015, Hawaii’s RPS law was amended to require electric utilities to meet an RPS of 15%, 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2015, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. Energy savings resulting from energy efficiency programs do not count toward the RPS since 2014 (only electrical generation using renewable energy as a source counts). The Utilities’ also exceeded the 30% RPS target for 2020, achieving an RPS of 34.5%, and in 2021, achieved an RPS of 38.4%.
Affiliate transactions. Certain transactions between HEI’s electric public utility subsidiaries (Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric) and HEI and affiliated interests (as defined by statute) are subject to regulation by the PUC.
In December 1996, the PUC issued an order in a docket to review the relationship between HEI and Hawaiian Electric and the effects of that relationship on the operations of Hawaiian Electric. The order required Hawaiian Electric to continue to provide the PUC with periodic status reports on its compliance with the PUC Agreement (pursuant to which HEI became the holding company of Hawaiian Electric). Hawaiian Electric files such status reports annually. In the order, the PUC also required the Utilities to present a comprehensive analysis of the impact that the holding company structure and investments in nonutility subsidiaries have on a case-by-case basis on the cost of capital to each utility in future rate cases and remove any such effects from the cost of capital. The Utilities have made presentations in their subsequent rate cases to support their positions that there was no evidence that would modify the PUC’s finding that Hawaiian Electric’s access to capital did not suffer as a result of HEI’s involvement in nonutility activities and that HEI’s diversification did not permanently raise or lower the cost of capital incorporated into the rates paid by Hawaiian Electric’s utility customers.
In December 2018, the PUC established a set of requirements governing transactions and sharing of information between the Utilities and its affiliates (Affiliate Transaction Requirements, ATRs), which was subsequently modified and clarified in January 2019 following the Utilities’ motion for reconsideration. The PUC stated the intent of the ATRs is to establish safeguards to avoid potential market power benefits and cross-subsidization between regulated and unregulated activities. The requirements include rules on interactions with affiliates, information handling, business development, political activities, promotional activities, sales of products and services, and employee sharing restrictions. The ATRs include implementing an internal code of conduct, a compliance plan, including policies and procedures to comply with the requirements, and having an audit conducted every three years that examines the compliance with the requirements. Penalties for non-compliance depend on the severity of the violation, and can range from daily fines to divestiture of the Utilities by the holding company.
Other regulations. The Utilities are not subject to regulation by the FERC under the Federal Power Act, except under Sections 210 through 212 (added by Title II of PURPA and amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992), which permit the FERC to order electric utilities to interconnect with qualifying cogenerators and small power producers, and to wheel power to other electric utilities. Title I of PURPA, which relates to retail regulatory policies for electric utilities, and Title VII of the
12

Energy Policy Act of 1992, which addresses transmission access, also apply to the Utilities. The Utilities are also required to file various operational reports with the FERC.
Because they are located in the State of Hawaii, Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries are exempt by statute from limitations set forth in the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978 on the use of petroleum as a primary energy source.
See also “HEI–Regulation” above.
Environmental regulation.  Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, are subject to periodic inspections by federal, state and, in some cases, local environmental regulatory agencies, including agencies responsible for the regulation of water quality, air quality, hazardous and other waste and hazardous materials. These inspections may result in the identification of items needing corrective or other action. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report (see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, and Notes 1 and 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which are incorporated herein by reference)Statements), the Utilities believe that each subsidiary has appropriately responded to environmental conditions


requiring action and that, as a result of such actions, such environmental conditions will not have a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Utilities.
Water quality controls. The generating stations, substations and other utility facilities operate under federal and state water quality regulations and permits, including, but not limited to, the Clean Water Act National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (governing point source discharges, including wastewater and storm water discharges) and the Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control (regulating disposal of wastewater into the subsurface). On February 1, 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that under certain circumstances, where there may be a connection to surface water, discharges from underground injection control wells may require National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits. This case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court who heard the matter in November of 2019. A final decision is expected in the first quarter of 2020.
Oil pollution controls.  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) establishes programs that govern actual or threatened oil releases and imposes strict liability on responsible parties for clean-up costs and damages to natural resources and property. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations under OPA require certain facilities that use or store oil to prepare and implement Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans in order to prevent releases of oil to navigable waters of the U.S. Certain facilities are also required to prepare and implement Facility Response Plans (FRPs) to ensure prompt and proper response to releases of oil. The utility facilities that are subject to SPCC Plan and FRP requirements have prepared and implemented SPCC Plans and FRPs.
Air quality controls. The Clean Air Act (CAA) establishes permitting programs to reduce air pollution. The CAA amendments of 1990, established the federal Title V Operating Permit Program (in Hawaii known as the Covered Source Permit program) to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state air pollution control requirements. The 1977 CAA Amendments established the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program, which affect new or modified generating units by requiring a permit to construct under the CAA and the controls necessary to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
Title V operating permits have been issued for all of the Utilities’ affected generating units.
Hazardous waste and toxic substances controls. The operations of the electric utility are subject to EPA regulations that implement provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, also known as Superfund), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
RCRA underground storage tank (UST) regulations require all facilities that use USTs for storing petroleum products to comply with established leak detection, spill prevention, standards for tank design and retrofits, financial assurance, operator training, and tank decommissioning and closure requirements. All of the Utilities’ USTs currently meet the applicable requirements.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act under SARA Title III requires the Utilities to report potentially hazardous chemicals present in their facilities in order to provide the public with information so that emergency procedures can be established to protect the public in the event of hazardous chemical releases. Since January 1, 1998, the steam electric industry category has been subject to Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements.
The TSCA regulations specify procedures for the handling and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a compound found in some transformer and capacitor dielectric fluids. The TSCA regulations also apply to responses to releases of PCBs to the environment. The Utilities have instituted procedures to monitor compliance with these regulations and have implemented a program to identify and replace PCB transformers and capacitors in their systems. In April 2010,On October 22, 2021, the EPA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rule Making announcingpublished its intentproposed rule entitled “Alternate PCB Extraction Methods and Amendments to reassess PCB regulations.Cleanup and Disposal Regulations” in the Federal Register. The EPA has ceased activityis proposing to expand options for the methods used to characterize and verify the cleanup of PCBs, and amend the performance-based disposal option along with other amendments to improve the implementation of the regulations, clarify ambiguity, and correct technical errors. The EPA comments period closed on the PCB reassessment.January 20, 2022.
13

Hawaii’s Environmental Response Law (ERL), as amended, governs releases of hazardous substances, including oil, to the environment in areas within the state’s jurisdiction. Responsible parties under the ERL are jointly, severally, and strictly liable for a release of a hazardous substance. Responsible parties include owners or operators of a facility where a hazardous substance is located and any person who at the time of disposal of the hazardous substance owned or operated any facility at which such hazardous substance was disposed.
The Utilities periodically discover leaking oil-containing equipment such as USTs, piping, and transformers. Each subsidiary reports releases from such equipment when and as required by applicable law and addresses the releases in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Bank
General.  ASB is one of the largest financial institutions headquartered in the State of Hawaii with assets of $7.2$9.2 billion and deposits of $6.3$8.2 billion, as of December 31, 2019.2021. ASB is a full-service community bank that serves both consumer and commercial customers and operates 4942 branches on the islands of Oahu (34)(29), Maui (6), Hawaii (5)(4), Kauai (3)(2), and Molokai (1). ASB was acquired by HEI in 1988, and prior to its acquisition, ASB was granted a federal savings bank charter in January 1987. Prior to that time, ASB had operated since 1925 as the Hawaii division of American Savings & Loan Association of Salt Lake City, Utah.
In 2019,2021, ASB’s revenues and net income amounted to approximately 11% and 41% of HEI’s consolidated revenues and net income, respectively, compared to approximately 12% and 29% in 2020 and approximately 11% and 41% in 2018 and approximately 12% and 41% in 2017.2019.
At the time of HEI’s acquisition of ASB, HEI agreed with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), Department of Treasury’s predecessor regulatory agency, that ASB’s regulatory capital would be maintained at a level of at least 6% of ASB’s total liabilities, or at such greater amount as may be required from time to time by regulation. Under the agreement, HEI’s
15

obligation to contribute additional capital to ensure that ASB would have the capital level required by the OTS was limited to a maximum aggregate amount of approximately $65.1 million. As of December 31, 2019,2021, as a result of certain HEI contributions of capital to ASB over the years, HEI’s maximum obligation under the agreement to contribute additional capital has been reduced to approximately $28.3 million. ASB is subject to OCC regulations on dividends and other distributions and ASB must receive a letter from the FRB communicating the OCC’s and FRB’s non-objection to the payment of any dividend ASB proposes to declare and pay to ASB Hawaii and HEI.
The following table sets forth selected data In addition to OCC oversight, federal law and Federal Reserve Board policy require that HEI, as a savings and loan holding company, serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for any FDIC-insured depository institution that it controls.

regulators as in unsatisfactory condition, HEI could be required to provide additional capital or liquidity support or take other action, in support of ASB.
Lending activities. See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the composition of ASB’s loan portfolio.
Origination, purchase and sale of loans. Generally, residential and commercial real estate loans originated by ASB are collateralized by real estate located in Hawaii. For additional information, including information concerning the geographic distribution of ASB’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio and the geographic concentration of credit risk, see Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The demand for loans is primarily dependent on the Hawaii real estate market, business conditions, interest rates and loan refinancing activity.
Residential mortgage lending. ASB originates fixed rate and adjustable rate loans secured by single family residential property, including investor-owned properties, with maturities of up to 30 years. ASB’s general policy is to require private mortgage insurance 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 typically may not exceed 75% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price at origination.
Construction and development lending. ASB provides fixed rate loans for the construction of one-to-four unit residential and commercial properties. Construction loan projects are typically short term in nature. Construction and development financing generally involves a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Accordingly, construction and development loans are generally priced higher than loans collateralized by completed structures. ASB’s underwriting, monitoring and disbursement practices with respect to construction and development financing are designed to ensure sufficient funds are available to complete construction projects. See “Bank—Loan portfolio risk elements” in HEI’s MD&A and “Multifamily residential and commercial real estate lending” below.
Multifamily residential and commercial real estate lending. ASB provides permanent financing and construction and development financing collateralized by multifamily residential properties (including apartment buildings) and collateralized by commercial and industrial properties (including office buildings, shopping centers and warehouses) for its own portfolio as well as for participation with other lenders. Commercial real estate lending typically involves long lead times to originate and fund. As a result, production results can vary significantly from period to period.
Consumer lending. ASB offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loans. Loans collateralized by deposits are limited to 90% of the available account balance. ASB offers home equity lines of credit, clean energy loans, secured and unsecured VISA cards (through a third party issuer), checking account overdraft protection and other general purpose consumer loans.
Commercial lending. ASB provides both secured and unsecured commercial loans to business entities. This lending activity is designed to diversify ASB’s asset structure, shorten maturities, improve rate sensitivity of the loan portfolio and attract commercial checking deposits. ASB offers commercial loans with terms generally up to ten years.
Loan origination fee and servicing income. In addition to interest earned on residential mortgage loans, ASB receives income from servicing loans, for late payments and from other related services. Servicing fees are received on loans originated and subsequently sold by ASB where ASB acts as collection agent on behalf of third-party purchasers.
ASB charges the borrower at loan settlement a loan origination fee. See “Loans” in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Deposits and sources of funds. Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB for use in lending, meeting liquidity requirements and making investments, and are affected by market interest rates, competition and management’s responses to these factors. DepositWhile deposits have increased by $785 million in 2021 in part due to PPP loan proceeds and consumer economic impact payments from the CARES Act stimulus program, deposit retention and sustained growth will remain challenging in the current environment due to competition for deposits and the low level of short-term interest rates.rates. ASB borrows on a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in deposit flows. ASB may borrow on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending or investment activities. Advances from the FHLBFederal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines and securities
16

sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be additional sources of funds, but they are a higher cost funding source than deposits.
Competition. The banking industry in Hawaii is highly competitive. At December 31, 2019,2021, there were 87 financial institutions insured by the FDIC headquartered in the State of Hawaii. While ASB is one of the largest financial institutions in Hawaii, based on total assets, ASB faces vigorous competition for deposits and loans from two larger banking institutions based in Hawaii and from smaller institutions that heavily promote their services in niche areas, such as providing financial services to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as national financial services organizations. Competition for loans and deposits comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, money market and mutual funds and other investment alternatives. ASB faces additional competition in seeking deposit funds from various types of corporate and government borrowers, including insurance companies. Competition for origination of mortgage loans comes primarily from mortgage banking and brokerage firms, commercial banks, other savings institutions, insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. These entities may have a physical presence in the State of Hawaii or operate from out of state and provide online services. See also “Bank—Executive overview and strategy” in HEI’s MD&A.


To remain competitive and continue building core franchise value, ASB continues to develop and introduce new products and services to meet the needs of its consumer and commercial customers. Additionally, the banking industry is constantly changing and ASB is making the investment in its people and technology necessary to adapt and remain competitive.
The primary factors in ASB’s competition for mortgage and other loans are the competitive interest rates and loan origination fees it charges, the wide variety of loan programs it offers and the quality and efficiency of the services it provides to borrowers and the business community. ASB believes that it is able to compete for such loans primarily through the competitive interest rates and loan fees it charges, the type of mortgage loan programs it offers and the efficiency and quality of the services it provides to individual borrowers and the business community.
The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates, the quality and range of services offered, marketing, convenience of locations, hours of operation, availability and functionality of other non-branch channels such as online and mobile banking and perceptions of the institution’s financial soundness and safety. To compete effectively, ASB offers a variety of savings and checking accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, convenient branch locations with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges at each branch, convenient automated teller machines and an upgrade of ASB’s electronicother banking platform.options including online and mobile banking platforms. ASB also conducts advertising and promotional campaigns.
ASB has been diversifying its loan portfolio from single-family home mortgages to higher-spread, shorter-duration consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans. The origination of consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans involves risks and other considerations different from those associated with originating residential real estate loans. For example, the sources and level of competition may be different and credit risk is generally higher than for residential mortgage loans. These different risk factors are considered in the underwriting and pricing standards and in the allowance for loancredit losses established by ASB for its consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans.
Regulation.  ASB, a federally chartered saving bank, is subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by the Department of Treasury, OCC and the FDIC, and is subject to reserve requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Regulation by these agencies focuses in large measure on the adequacy of ASB’s capital and the results of periodic “safety and soundness” examinations conducted by the OCC. In addition, ASB’s holding companies are subject to the regulatory supervision of the FRB. See “HEI Consolidated–Regulation” above.
Capital requirementsChanges 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 OCC,two rules modify the community bank leverage ratio framework so that:
•Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and until the end of 2020, 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 will have 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 requirement 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 maintained 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.
In the second quarter of 2020, ASB had adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework and reported its Tier 1 leverage ratio only. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, ASB began reporting all of the required capital ratios as the Bank did not meet the requirements of the community bank leverage ratio framework. With Tier 1 leverage, common equity, Tier 1
17

capital and total capital ratios of 7.9%, 13.3%, 13.3% and 14.3%, respectively as of December 31, 2021, ASB’s principal regulator, administers two sets ofregulatory capital standards —ratios exceeded the minimum regulatory capital requirements of 4.0%, 4.5%, 6.0% and prompt corrective action requirements. The FDIC also has prompt corrective action capital requirements. As of December 31, 2019, ASB was in compliance with OCC minimum regulatory capital requirements and was “well-capitalized” within the meaning of OCC prompt corrective action regulations and FDIC capital regulations, as follows:
ASB met applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements (noted in parentheses) as of December 31, 2019 with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.1% (4.0%)8.0%, a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.2% (4.5%), a Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.2% (6.0%) and a total capital ratio of 14.3% (8.0%).
ASB met the capital requirements to be generally considered “well-capitalized” (noted in parentheses) as of December 31, 2019 with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.1% (5.0%), a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.2% (6.5%), a Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.2% (8.0%) and a total capital ratio of 14.3% (10.0%).
The purpose of the prompt corrective action capital requirements is to establish thresholds for varying degrees of oversight and intervention by regulators. Declines in levels of capital, depending on their severity, will result in increasingly stringent mandatory and discretionary regulatory consequences. Capital levels may decline for any number of reasons, including reductions that would result if there were losses from operations, deterioration in collateral values or the inability to dispose of real estate owned (typically acquired by foreclosure). The regulators have substantial discretion in the corrective actions they might direct and could include restrictions on dividends and other distributions that ASB may make to HEI (through ASB Hawaii) and the requirement that ASB develop and implement a plan to restore its capital. Under an agreement with regulators entered into by HEI when it acquired ASB, HEI currently could be required to contribute to ASB up to an additional $28.3 million of capital, if necessary, to maintain ASB’s capital position.
In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a financial institution must hold a buffer of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets (capital conservation buffer) which is phased-in through 2019. As of December 31, 2019, ASB met the applicable capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer.respectively.
See “Bank—Legislation and regulation” in HEI’s MD&A for the final capital rules under the Basel III regulatory capital framework.


Examinations.  ASB is subject to periodic “safety and soundness” examinations and other examinations by the OCC. In conducting its examinations, the OCC utilizes the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System adopted by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, which system utilizes the “CAMELS” criteria for rating financial institutions. The six components in the rating system are: Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to market risk. The OCC examines and rates each CAMELS component. An overall CAMELS rating is also given, after taking into account all of the component ratings. A financial institution may be subject to formal regulatory or administrative direction or supervision such as a “memorandum of understanding” or a “cease and desist” order following an examination if its CAMELS rating is not satisfactory. An institution is prohibited from disclosing the OCC’s report of its safety and soundness examination or the component and overall CAMELS rating to any person or organization not officially connected with the institution as an officer, director, employee, attorney or auditor, except as provided by regulation. The OCC also regularly examines ASB’s information technology practices and its performance under Community Reinvestment Act measurement criteria.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, addresses the safety and soundness of the deposit insurance system, supervision of depository institutions and improvement of accounting standards. Pursuant to this Act, federal banking agencies have promulgated regulations that affect the operations of ASB and its holding companies (e.g., standards for safety and soundness, real estate lending, accounting and reporting, transactions with affiliates and loans to insiders).
Deposit insurance coverage.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated by the FDIC, govern insurance coverage of deposit accounts. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000. Generally, the amount of all deposits held by a depositor in the same capacity (even if held in separate accounts) is aggregated for purposes of applying the insurance limit.
See “Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessment” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of FDIC deposit insurance assessment rates.
Recent legislation and issuances. See “Bank–Legislation and regulation” in HEI’s MD&A.
Affiliate transactions.  Significant restrictions apply to certain transactions between ASB and its affiliates, including HEI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. For example, ASB is prohibited from making any loan or other extension of credit to an entity affiliated with ASB unless the affiliate is engaged exclusively in activities which the FRB has determined to be permissible for bank holding companies. There are also various other restrictions which apply to certain transactions between ASB and certain executive officers, directors and insiders of ASB. ASB is also barred from making a purchase of or any investment in securities issued by an affiliate, other than with respect to shares of a subsidiary of ASB.
Financial derivatives and interest rate risk. ASB is subject to OCC rules relating to derivatives activities, such as interest rate swaps, interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments. See “Derivative financial instruments” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments used by ASB. Currently ASB does not use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk, (IRR), but may do so in the future. Generally speaking, the OCC rules permit financial institutions to engage in transactions involving financial derivatives to the extent these transactions are otherwise authorized under applicable law and are safe and sound. The rules require ASB to have certain internal procedures for handling financial derivative transactions, including involvement of the ASB Board of Directors.
With the transfer of the regulatory jurisdiction from the OTS to the OCC, ASB has adopted terminology and IRR assessment, measurement and management practices consistent with OCC guidelines. Management believes ASB’s IRRinterest rate risk processes are aligned with the Interagency Advisory on Interest Rate Risk Management and appropriate with earnings and capital levels, balance sheet complexity, business model and risk tolerance.
Liquidity.  OCC regulations require ASB to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations. ASB’s principal sources of liquidity are customer deposits, borrowings, the maturity and repayment of portfolio loans and securities and the sale of loans into secondary market channels. ASB’s principal sources of borrowings are advances from the FHLB of Des Moines and securities sold under agreements to repurchase from broker/dealers. ASB is approved by the FHLB of Des Moines to borrow an amount of up to 35% of assets to the extent it provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB of Des Moines stock. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB’s unused FHLB of Des Moines borrowing capacity was approximately $2.3$2.0 billion. ASB utilizes growth in deposits, advances from the FHLB of Des Moines and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and make investments. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB had loan commitments, undisbursed loan funds and unused lines and letters of
18

credit of $1.9 billion. Management believes ASB’s current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.
Supervision.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the FDICIA) establishes a statutory framework that is triggered by the capital level of a financial institution and subjects it to progressively more stringent


restrictions and supervision as capital levels decline. The prompt corrective action capital requirements establish thresholds for varying degrees of oversight and intervention by regulators. Declines in levels of capital, depending on their severity, will result in increasingly stringent mandatory and discretionary regulatory consequences. Capital levels may decline for any number of reasons, including reductions that would result if there were losses from operations, deterioration in collateral values or the inability to dispose of real estate owned (typically acquired by foreclosure). The regulators have substantial discretion in the corrective actions they might direct and could include restrictions on dividends and other distributions that ASB may make to HEI (through ASB Hawaii) and the requirement that ASB develop and implement a plan to restore its capital. The OCC rules implement the system of prompt corrective action. In particular, the rules define the relevant capital measures for the categories of “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB was “well-capitalized.”
Interest rates. FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are undercapitalized to offer interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB was “well capitalized” and thus not subject to these interest rate restrictions.
Qualified thrift lender test. ASB is a “qualified thrift lender” (QTL) under its federal thrift charter and, in order to maintain this status, ASB is required to maintain at least 65% of its assets in “qualified thrift investments,” measured on a monthly average basis in 9 out of the previous 12 months, which include housing-related loans (including mortgage-backed securities) as well as certain small business loans, education loans, loans made through credit card accounts and a basket (not exceeding 20% of total assets) of other consumer loans and other assets. Institutions that fail to maintain QTL status are subject to various penalties, including limitations on their activities. In ASB’s case, the activities of HEI, ASB Hawaii and HEI’s other subsidiaries would also be subject to restrictions if ASB failed to maintain its QTL status, and a failure or inability to comply with those restrictions could effectively result in the required divestiture of ASB. As of December 31, 2019,2021, and at all times during 2019,2021, ASB was a qualified thrift lender.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. ASB is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 11 regional FHLBs, and ASB’s regional bank is the FHLB of Des Moines. The FHLB System provides a central credit facility for member institutions. Historically, the FHLBs have served as the central liquidity facilities for savings associations and sources of long-term funds for financing housing. At such time as an advance is made to ASB or renewed, it must be collateralized by collateral from one of the following categories: (1) fully disbursed, whole first mortgages on improved residential property, or securities representing a whole interest in such mortgages; (2) securities issued, insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agency thereof; (3) FHLB deposits; and (4) other real estate-related collateral that has a readily ascertainable value and with respect to which a security interest can be perfected. The aggregate amount of outstanding advances collateralized by such other real estate-related collateral may not exceed 300% of ASB’s capital.
ASB’s required holding in the stock of the FHLB is both membership and activity-based. Membership is based on a percentage of total assets (0.12%) while the portion related to activity is based on a percentage of outstanding activity, mainly advances (4%). As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB was required and owned capital stock in the FHLB of Des Moines in the amount of $8.4$10.0 million.
Community Reinvestment. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound lending practices. The OCC will consider ASB’s CRA record in evaluating an application for a new deposit facility, including the establishment of a branch, the relocation of a branch or office, or the acquisition of an interest in another bank. ASB currently holds a “satisfactory” CRA rating.
Other laws. ASB is subject to federal and state consumer protection laws which affect deposit and lending activities, such as the Truth in Lending Act, (TILA), the Truth in Savings Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, (RESPA), the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and several federal and state financial privacy acts intended to protect consumers’ personal information and prevent identity theft, such as the Gramm Act and the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act. ASB is also subject to federal laws regulating certain of its lending practices, such as the Flood Disaster Protection Act, and laws requiring reports to regulators of certain customer transactions, such as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act and the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act. ASB’s relationship with Cetera Investment Services LLC and Cetera Investment Advisers LLC is also governed by regulations adopted by the FRB under the Gramm Act, which regulate “networking” relationships under which a financial institution refers customers to a broker-dealer
19

for securities services and employees of the financial institution are permitted to receive a nominal fee for the referrals. These laws may provide for substantial penalties in the event of noncompliance.
Proposed legislation. See the discussion of proposed legislation in “Bank–Legislation and regulation” in HEI’s MD&A.
Environmental regulation.  ASB may be subject to the provisions of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Hawaii Environmental Response Law (ERL) and regulations promulgated thereunder, which impose liability for environmental cleanup costs on certain categories of responsible parties. CERCLA and ERL exempt persons whose ownership in a facility is held primarily to protect a security interest, provided that they do not participate in the management of the facility.


Additional information. For additional information about ASB, see the sections under “Bank” in HEI’s MD&A, HEI’s “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and HEI’s Consolidated Financial Statements, including Note 4 thereto.
Properties. ASB owns or leases several office buildings in downtown Honolulu and owns land on which a number of its branches are located.

ITEM 1A.ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
The businesses of HEI and its subsidiaries involve numerous risks which, if realized, could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. For additional information for certain risk factors enumerated below and other risks of the Company and its operations, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above and HEI’s MD&A, HEI’s “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Hawaiian Electric’s MD&A and Hawaiian Electric’s “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Holding company and company-wide risks.
COVID-19—Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations are being and could continue to be adversely impacted by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the numerous country, state, city and local jurisdictions that have imposed “shelter-in-place” orders or other restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel restrictions that directly impact the Hawaii economy, economic activity in the state has been adversely impacted. While many restrictions have been subsequently lifted as vaccination rates increased and new daily case counts moderated, leading to improved economic conditions, new COVID-19 variants, such as Omicron, could require a reinstatement of restrictions that would threaten the ongoing economic recovery. Until the economy recovers more broadly, the Utilities expect that demand for electricity will remain muted and past due accounts receivables at the Utilities could remain at an elevated level, which has an impact on liquidity. While the Utilities expect to recover the difference between PUC approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues (regardless of the level of kWh sales) through the revenue balancing account under the decoupling mechanism based on estimated sales, starting on January 1st of the following year, the collection occurs on a lagged basis. If the
20

difference to be collected, which needs to be financed in the interim, exceeds the Utilities’ current liquidity sources, there can be no assurance that the Utilities will be able to secure additional liquidity sources at a reasonable cost, or at all, or if the difference becomes so large that it would result in a significant increase in customer bills, whether the PUC will allow recovery of such difference through the revenue balancing account. In addition to lower and lagged collections, the COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in higher costs and expenses. While the Utilities have been granted deferral treatment of certain COVID-19 related costs, such as higher bad debt expense, non-collection of late payment fees, higher financing costs, sequestration costs for mission-critical employees and other costs and expenses,there can be no assurance that the PUC will grant recovery of such costs, and such costs could be material. Additionally, in light of the significant impact that economic conditions have had on residents and businesses in the state, a stipulated settlement between Hawaiian Electric and the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, reflecting no base rate increase, was submitted in the Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case, and approved by the PUC in October 2020. While the Utilities were successful in offsetting the no base rate increase with corresponding cost decreases in 2021, such reduction of cost in future periods is not assured and, therefore, the inability to achieve targeted cost savings could adversely affect the Utilities’ results of operations in future periods.
ASB’s net interest income has also been adversely impacted by lower interest rates across the curve, which are influenced by economic conditions. Accordingly, an extended economic slowdown could have a significant continuing impact on its net interest income. In addition, while economic conditions improved in 2021, COVID-19 variants, such as Omicron, could lead to an extended economic slowdown that may affect the ability of borrowers to make payments on their loans, which would have an adverse impact on ASB’s provision for credit losses.
While the Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to continue to operate through this crisis, there can be no assurance that sufficient liquidity will be available if the slowdown in economic activity continues for an extended period of time or worsens from current levels.
The Company continues to closely monitor the situation and will continue to take appropriate actions to operate its businesses and protect its workforce while serving customers and the community. If the current weakness in economic activity persists for an extended period of time or worsens from current levels, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company. These effects could include, but are not limited to:
•Disruptions or restrictions on employees’ ability to work effectively due to illness, travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders or other limitations.
•The inability of customers, IPPs, contractors, suppliers, creditors and other business partners to fulfill their obligations due to various factors, including, but not limited to, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and wage inflation, which could result in unanticipated project costs. For example, several IPPs have declared force majeure, citing the pandemic, which could potentially result in significant project delays or project cancellations. In addition, several of the recently procured renewable projects have experienced delays or have been declared null and void by the independent power producers due to a number of issues, including supply chain disruptions.
•Disruption and volatility in the global credit and financial markets, which may increase the cost of capital and could adversely impact access to capital for the Company and its customers and suppliers.
•Further deterioration in economic conditions, or an extension of slow economic activity, which negatively impacts the Company’s earnings and liquidity, could also result in an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or long-lived assets.
•Actions taken or may be taken, or decisions made or may be made by the Company, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in legal claims or litigation against the Company.
Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic and the significant uncertainty it creates, including the unknown severity and duration of the pandemic and the resulting impact it may have on Hawaii businesses and residents of the state, which could also be affected by the pace of distribution, administration, and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine against variants, as well as the proportion of the population vaccinated and boosted, the Company is unable to predict the full extent of the future impact on the Company’s businesses at this time, and those impacts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Holding Company Risk—HEI is a holding company that derives its income from its operating subsidiaries and depends on the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI and on its own ability to raise capital. HEI is a legal entity separate and distinct from its various subsidiaries. As a holding company with no significant operations of its own, HEI’s cash flows and consequent ability to service its obligations and pay dividends on its common stock is dependent upon its receipt of dividends or other distributions from its operating subsidiaries and its ability to issue common stock or other equity securities and to incur additional debt. The ability of HEI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI, in turn, is subject to the risks associated with their operations and to contractual and regulatory restrictions, including:
21

•the provisions of an HEI agreement with the PUC, which could limit the ability of HEI’s principal electric public utility subsidiary, Hawaiian Electric, to pay dividends to HEI in the event that the consolidated common stock equity of the Utilities falls below 35% of total capitalization of the electric utilities;
•the provisions of an HEI agreement entered into with federal bank regulators in connection with its acquisition of its bank subsidiary, ASB, which requirerequires HEI to contribute additional capital to ASB (up to a maximum amount of additional capital of $28.3 million as of December 31, 20192021 under the Regulatory Capital Maintenance/Dividend Agreement dated May 26, 1988, between HEI, HEIDI (HEI Diversified Inc.) and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation) upon request of the regulators in order to maintain ASB’s regulatory capital at the level required by regulation;
•obligations under federal law and Federal Reserve Board policy, which require that a savings and loan holding company serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for any FDIC-insured depository institution that it controls, and accordingly, if ASB were to be in financial distress or to otherwise be viewed by the regulators as in unsatisfactory condition, HEI could be required to provide additional capital or liquidity support or take other action, in support of ASB;
•the minimum capital and capital distribution regulations of the OCC that are applicable to ASB and capital regulations that become applicable to HEI and ASB Hawaii;
•the receipt of a letter from the FRB communicating the OCC’s and the FRB’s non-objection to the payment of any dividend ASB proposes to declare and pay to ASB Hawaii and HEI; and
•the provisions of preferred stock resolutions and debt instruments of HEI and its subsidiaries.
Credit and Capital Market Risk—The Company, and its credit rating, is subject to risks associated with the Hawaii economy (in the aggregate and on an individual island basis), volatile U.S. capital markets and changes in the interest rate and credit market environment that have or could result in higher retirement benefit plan funding requirements, declines in ASB’s interest rate margins and investment values, higher delinquencies and charge-offs in ASB’s loan portfolio and restrictions on the ability of HEI or its subsidiaries to borrow money or issue securities. The two largest components of Hawaii’s economy are tourism and the federal government (including the military). Because the core businesses of HEI’s subsidiaries are providing local public electric utility services (through Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries) and banking services (through ASB) in Hawaii, the Company’s operating results are significantly influenced byby: Hawaii’s economy, which in turn is influenced by economic conditions in the mainland U.S. (particularly California) and Asia (particularly Japan) as a result of the impact of those conditions on tourism,tourism; by the impact of interest rates on the construction and real estate industries and by the impact of federal government spending in Hawaii, which can be affected by world conditionsconditions; and, from time to time, the expiration of federal government appropriations bills. In addition, the Hawaii economy could be directly or indirectly affected by implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions and the potential impacts of global and local developments (including economic conditions and uncertainties; unrest, terrorist acts, wars, conflicts, political protests, deadly virus epidemic, potential pandemics, or other crisis; the effects of changes that have or may occur in U.S. policy, such as with respect to immigration and trade).
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, COVID-19, first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, has the potential to impact economic conditions in Hawaii, for example, through a reduction of tourism and business travel to Hawaii. Further, a prolonged outbreak could potentially impact the ability of the Company’s customers, contractors, suppliers, IPPs, and other business partners to perform or fulfill their obligations, which could adversely affect the Company’s businesses. For instance, restrictions on business activities due to COVID-19 may disrupt the global renewable energy supply chain that relies on Chinese manufacturing capacity for key components (such as solar modules, inverters, wind turbine components) creating project delays or material price increases for Hawaii renewable projects and procurement processes, which could potentially jeopardize the Company’s ability to achieve its RPS goals. While the Company has not been materially impacted by COVID-19 to date, the extent of the outbreak and its future impact on the Company’s businesses and its business partners is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.



HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s securities ratings only reflect the view, at the time the ratings are issued, of the applicable rating agency. There is no assurance that any such credit rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that such rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency if, in such rating agency’s judgment, circumstances, such as current, past or future effects or events so warrant. Any such lowering, suspension or withdrawal of any rating may have an adverse effect on the availability of capital to the Company or the market price or marketability of HEI’s and/or Hawaiian Electric’s securities, which could increase the cost of capital of HEI and Hawaiian Electric, and such increased costs, including interest charges, under HEI’s and/or Hawaiian Electric’s debt securities and credit facilities, would result in reductions in HEI’s consolidated net income in future periods. Further, if HEI’s or Hawaiian Electric’s commercial paper ratings were to be downgraded, HEI and Hawaiian Electric might not be able to sell commercial paper and might be required to draw on more expensive bank lines of credit or to defer capital or other expenditures. Neither HEI nor Hawaiian Electric management can predict future rating agency actions or their effects on the future cost of capital of HEI or Hawaiian Electric. Such ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities; such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies; and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
Changes in the U.S. capital markets can also have significant effects on the Company. For example, pension funding requirements are affected by the market performance of the assets in the master pension trust maintained for pension plans, and by the discount rate used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost and value obligations. The Utilities’ pension tracking mechanisms help moderate pension expense; however, a significant reduction in the significant decline in 2008discount rate or in the value of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets resultedcould result in a substantial increase in the gap between the projected benefit obligations under the plans and the value of plan assets, resulting in increases in funding requirements. The increases have moderated in recent years as investment performance has improved.
22

Because the earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations. HEI and the Utilities are also exposed to interest rate risk primarily due to their periodic borrowing requirements, the discount rate used to determine pension funding requirements and the possible effect of interest rates on the electric utilities’ rates of return. Interest rates are sensitive to many factors, including general economic conditions and the policies of government and regulatory authorities. HEI cannot predict future changes in interest rates, nor be certain that interest rate risk management strategies it or its subsidiaries have implemented will be successful in managing interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk 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 values of those instruments, respectively. Disruptions in the credit markets, a liquidity crisis in the banking industry or increased levels of residential mortgage delinquencies and defaults may result in decreases in the fair value of ASB’s investment securities and an impairment, that is other-than-temporary, requiring ASB to write down its investment securities. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB’s investment in U.S. Treasury, federal agency obligations, and mortgage-backed securities have an implicit guarantee from the U.S. government.
HEI and Hawaiian Electric and their subsidiaries may incur higher retirement benefits expenses and have and will likely continue to recognize substantial liabilities for retirement benefits. Retirement benefits expenses and cash funding requirements could increase in future years depending on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the performance of the U.S. equity markets, trends in interest rates and health care costs, plan amendments, mortality improvements, new laws relating to pension funding and changes in accounting principles. For the Utilities, however, retirement benefits expenses, as adjusted by the pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, have been an allowable expense for rate-making purposes.
Geographic Concentration Risk—The Company is subject to the risks associated with the geographic concentration of its businesses and current lack of interconnections that could result in service interruptions at the Utilities or higher default rates on loans held by ASB. The business of the Utilities is concentrated on the individual islands they serve in the State of Hawaii. Their operations are more vulnerable to service interruptions than arethat of many U.S. mainland utilities because none of the systems of the Utilities are interconnected with the systems on the other islands they serve. Because of this lack of interconnections, it is necessary to maintain higher generation reserve margins than are typical for U.S. mainland utilities to help ensure reliable service. Service interruptions, including in particular extended interruptions that could result from a natural disaster or terrorist activity, could adversely impact the revenues and costs of some or all of the Utilities.
Substantially all of ASB’s consumer loan customers are Hawaii residents. A significant portion of the commercial loan customers are also located in Hawaii. While a majority of customers are on Oahu, ASB also has customers on the neighbor islands (whose economies have been weaker than OahuOahu’s economy during the last economic downturn). Substantially all of the real estate underlying ASB’s residential and commercial real estate loans are located in Hawaii. These assets may be subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable assets held by financial institutions with other geographic concentrations in the event of


adverse economic, political or business developments or natural disasters affecting Hawaii and affect the ability of ASB’s customers to make payments of principal and interest on their loans.
Competitive and Technological Risk—Increasing competition and technological advances could cause HEI’s businesses to lose customers or render their operations obsolete. The banking industry in Hawaii, and certain aspects of the electric utility industry, are competitive. The success of HEI’s subsidiaries in meeting competition and responding to technological advances will continue to have a direct impact on HEI’s consolidated financial performance. For example:
•ASB, one of the largest financial institutions in the state, is in direct competition for deposits and loans not only with two larger institutions that have substantial capital, technology and marketing resources, but also with smaller Hawaii institutions and other U.S. institutions, including credit unions, mutual funds, mortgage brokers, finance companies, non-traditional providers of financial services and investment banking firms. Larger financial institutions may have greater access to capital at lower costs, which could impair ASB’s ability to compete effectively. New or significant advances in technology (e.g., significant advances in internet or mobile banking) or customer adoption of alternative banking channels could render the operations of ASB less competitive or obsolete.
•The Utilities face competition from IPPs; customer self-generation, with or without cogeneration; customer energy storage; and the potential formation of community-based, cooperative ownership or municipality structures for electrical service on all islands it serves. With the exception of certain identified projects, the Utilities are required to use competitive bidding to acquire a future generation resource unless the PUC finds competitive bidding to be unsuitable. The PUC sets policies for distributed generation (DG) interconnection agreements and standby rates. The results of competitive bidding, competition from IPPs, customer self-generation, and potential cooperative ownership or municipality structures for electric utility service, and the rate at which technological developments facilitating nonutility generation of electricity, combined heat and power technology, off-grid microgrids, and customer energy storage may render the operations of the Utilities less competitive or outdated and adversely affect the Utilities and the results of their operations.
Cybersecurity Risk—The Company may be subject to information technology and operational system failures, network disruptions, cyber attacks and breaches in data security that could adversely affect its businesses and reputation. The Company and its subsidiaries rely on information technology systems, some of which are managed or hosted by third party service providers, to manage its business data, communications, and other business processes. Such information technology systems may be vulnerable to cyberattacks or other security incidents, which could result in unauthorized access to confidential data, ransomware demands or disruptions to operations. In addition, there is increasing cybersecurity risk associated with the broad
23

adoption of a remote working environment as a result of the pandemic. If the Company is unable to prevent or adequately respond to and resolve an incident, it may have a material impact on the Company’s operations or business reputation.
Utilities. The Utilities rely on evolving and increasingly complex operational and information systems, networks and other technologies, which are interconnected with the systems and network infrastructure owned by third parties to support a variety of business processes and activities, including procurement and supply chain, invoicing and collection of payments, customer relationship management, human resource management, the acquisition, generation and delivery of electrical service to customers, and to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting and legal and tax requirements. The Utilities use their systems and infrastructure to create, collect, store, and process sensitive information, including personal information regarding customers, employees and their dependents, retirees, and other individuals. Despite the Utilities security measures, all of their systems are vulnerable to disability, failures or unauthorized access caused by natural disasters, cybersecurity incidents, security breaches, user error, unintentional defects created by system changes, military or terrorist actions, power or communication failures or similar events. Any such failure could have a material adverse impact on the Utilities’ ability to process transactions and provide service, as well the Utilities’ financial condition and results of operations. Further, a data breach involving theft, improper disclosure, or other unauthorized access to or acquisition of confidential information could subject the Utilities to penalties for violation of applicable privacy laws, claims by third parties, and enforcement actions by government agencies. A data breach could also reduce the value of proprietary information, and harm the reputation of the Utilities.
As noted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the utility industry is continuing to experience an increase in the frequency and sophistication of cybersecurity incidents. The Utilities’ systems have been, and will likely continue to be, a target of attacks. Further, the Utilities’ operational networks may be subject to new cybersecurity risks due to modernizing and interconnecting existing infrastructure with new technologies and control systems, including those owned by third parties. Although the Utilities have not experienced a material cybersecurity breach to date, such incidents may occur and may have a material adverse effect on the Utilities and the Company in the future. In order to address cybersecurity risks to their information systems, the Utilities maintain security measures designed to protect their information technology systems, network infrastructure and other assets. The Utilities actively monitor developments in the area of cybersecurity and are involved in various related government and industry groups, and brief the Company’s Board quarterly on relevant cybersecurity issues. Although the Utilities continue to make investments in their cybersecurity program, including personnel, technologies, cyber insurance and training of Utilities personnel, there can be no assurance that these systems or their expected functionality will be implemented, maintained, or expanded effectively; nor can security measures completely eliminate the possibility of a


cybersecurity breach. The Utility maintains cyber liability insurance that covers certain damages caused by cyber incidents. However, there is no guarantee that adequate insurance will continue to be available at rates the Utility believes are reasonable or that the costs of responding to and recovering from a cyber incident will be covered by insurance or recoverable in rates. If the Utilities’ cybersecurity measures were to be breached, the Utilities could suffer financial loss, business disruptions, liability to customers, regulatory intervention or damage to their reputationreputations.
Due to the size, scope and complexity of the Utilities’ business, the development and maintenance of information technology systems to process and track information is critical and challenging. The Utilities often rely on third-party vendors to host, maintain, modify, and update its systems and these third-party vendors could cease to exist, fail to establish adequate processes to protect the Utilities systems and information, experience supply chain compromises or experienceother internal or external security incidents. In addition, the Utilities are pursuing complex business transformation initiatives, which include establishing common processes across Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electricthe implementation of new systems and the upgrade or replacement of existing systems. Significant system changes increase the risk of system interruptions. Although the Utilities maintain change control processes to mitigate this risk, system interruptions may occur. Further, delay or failure to complete the integration of information systems and processes may result in delays in regulatory cost recovery, increased service interruptions of aging legacy systems, or the failure to realize the cost savingsbenefits anticipated to be derived from these initiatives.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Utilities’ new ERP/EAM system was placed into service. One of the conditions imposed by the PUC’s approval of the system is the requirement that the Utilities achieve cost savings consistent with a minimum of $246 million in ERP/EAM project-related benefits to be delivered to customers over the system’s 12-year service life. If the Utilities are not able to achieve such minimum savings, the PUC could impose financial penalties, such as a reduction of revenue requirements that could have a material adverse impact the Utilities’ and Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Utilities have disaster recovery plans in place to protect their businesses from information technology service interruptions. The disaster recovery plans, however, may not be successful in preventing the loss of customer data, service interruptions and disruptions to operations or damage to important facilities. If any of these systems fail to operate properly or becomes disabled and the Utilities’ disaster recovery plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, the Utilities could suffer financial loss, business disruptions, liability to customers, regulatory intervention or damage to their reputations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities’ and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
ASB. ASB is highly dependent on its ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of transactions and relies heavily on communication and information systems, including those of third-party vendors and other service providers. Communication and information system failures can result from a variety of risks including, but not limited to, events that are wholly or partially out of ASB’s control, such as communication line integrity, weather, terrorist acts, natural disasters, accidental disasters, unauthorized breaches of security systems, energy delivery systems, cyberattacks and other events.
24

ASB is under continuous threat of loss due to cyberattacks, especially as ASB continues to expand customer capabilities to utilize the Internet and other remotedigital channels to transact business. Two of the most significant cyberattack risks that ASB faces are e-fraud and loss of sensitive customer data. Loss from e-fraud occurs when cybercriminals extract funds directly from customers’ or ASB’s accounts using fraudulent schemes that may include Internet-based funds transfers. ASB has been subject to e-fraud incidents historically. Loss of sensitive customer data are attempts to steal sensitive customer data, such as account numbers and social security numbers, through unauthorized access to computer systems, including computer hacking. Such attacks are less frequent, but could present significant reputational, legal and regulatory costs if successful. Intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-virus software, firewalls and other general information technology controls have been put in place to detect and prevent cyberattacks or information system breaches. A disaster recovery plan has been developed in the event of a natural disaster, security breach, military or terrorist action, power or communication failure or similar event. The disaster recovery plan, however, may not be successful in preventing the loss of customer data, service interruptions, disruptions to operations or damage to important facilities. Although ASB devotes significant resources to maintain and regularly upgrade its systems and processes that are designed to protect the security of ASB’s computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets and the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information belonging to ASB and its customers, there can be no assurance that such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately corrected by ASB or its vendors.
If any of these systems fail to operate properly or become disabled even for a brief period of time, ASB could suffer financial loss, business disruptions, liability to customers, regulatory intervention or damage to its reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on ASB’s and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Uninsured Losses—HEI’s businesses could suffer losses that are uninsured due to a lack of affordable insurance coverage, unavailability of insurance coverage or limitations on the insurance coverage the Company does have. In the ordinary course of business, HEI


and its subsidiaries purchase insurance coverages (e.g., property and liability coverages) to protect against loss of, or damage to, their properties and against claims made by third parties and employees for property damage or personal injuries. However, the protection provided by such insurance is limited in significant respects and, in some instances, there is no coverage. Some of the insurance coverages have substantial deductibles or has limits on the maximum amounts that may be recovered. In common with other companies in its line of business, the Utilities’ overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems (with the exception of substation buildings and contents), which have a replacement value roughly estimated at $8 billion, are largely not insured against loss or damage because the amount of transmission and distribution system insurance capacity is limited and the premiums are cost prohibitive. Similarly, the Utilities have no business interruption insurance as the premiums for such insurance would be cost prohibitive, particularly since the Utilities are not interconnected to other systems. If a hurricane or other uninsured catastrophic natural disaster were to occur, and if the PUC did not allow the affected Utilities to recover from ratepayers restoration costs and revenues lost from business interruption, the lost revenues and repair expenses could result in a significant decrease in HEI’s consolidated net income or in significant net losses for the affected periods.

ASB generally does not obtain credit enhancements, such as mortgagor bankruptcy insurance, but does require standard hazard and hurricane insurance and may require flood insurance for certain properties. ASB is subject to the risks of borrower defaults and bankruptcies, special hazard losses not covered by the required insurance and the insurance company’s inability to pay claims on existing policies.
Environmental Regulation—Increased federal and state environmental regulation will require an increasing commitment of resources and funds and could result in construction delays or penalties and fines for non-compliance. HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, hazardous substances, waste management, natural resources and health and safety, which regulate, among other matters, the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous and toxic wastes and substances. These laws and regulations could result in increased capital, operating, and other costs. HEI or its subsidiaries are currently involved in investigatory or remedial actions at current, former or third-party sites and there is no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs relating to these sites. In addition, compliance with these legal requirements requires the Utilities to commit significant resources and funds toward, among other things, environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment and payment of emission fees. These laws and regulations, among other things, require that certain environmental permits be obtained in order to construct or operate certain facilities, and obtaining such permits can entail significant expense and cause substantial construction delays. Also, these laws and regulations may be amended from time to time, including amendments that increase the burden and cost of compliance. For example, emission and/or discharge limits may be tightened, more extensive permitting requirements may be imposed and additional substances may become regulated. In addition, significant regulatory uncertainty exists regarding the impact of federal or state greenhouse gas emission limits and reductions.
25

If HEI or its subsidiaries fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, even if caused by factors beyond their control, that failure may result in civil or criminal penalties and fines or the cessation of operations that could have a material adverse on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Adverse tax rulings or developments or changes in tax legislation could result in significant increases in tax payments and/or expense.Governmental taxing authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by HEI or its subsidiaries and, if the taxing authorities prevail, HEI’s consolidated tax payments and/or expense, including applicable penalties and interest, could increase significantly. Additionally, changes in tax legislation or IRS interpretations could increase the Company’s tax burden and adversely affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company could be subject to the risk of uninsured losses in excess of its accruals for litigation matters. HEI and its subsidiaries are involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of their businesses, most of which is covered by insurance (subject to policy limits and deductibles). However, other litigation may arise that is not routine or involves claims that may not be covered by insurance. Because of the uncertainties associated with litigation, there is a risk that litigation against HEI or its subsidiaries, even if vigorously defended, could result in costs of defense and judgment or settlement amounts not covered by insurance and in excess of reserves established in HEI’s consolidated financial statements.
Changes in accounting principles and estimates could affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities or revenues and expenses. HEI’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Changes in accounting principles (including the possible adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards or new U.S. accounting standards), or changes in the Company’s application of existing accounting principles, could materially affect the financial statement presentation of HEI’s or the Utilities’ consolidated results of operations and/or financial condition. Further, in preparing the consolidated 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.


Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the amounts reported for electric utility revenues; allowance for loan losses; income taxes; investment securities, property, plant and equipment; regulatory assets and liabilities; derivatives; goodwill; pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; and contingencies and litigation.
The Utilities’ financial statements reflect assets and costs based on cost-based rate-making regulations. Continued accounting in this manner requires that certain criteria relating to the recoverability of such costs through rates be met. If events or circumstances should change such that the criteria are no longer satisfied, the Utilities’ expect that their regulatory assets (amounting to $715 million as of December 31, 2019), net of regulatory liabilities (amounting to $972 million as of December 31, 2019), would be charged to the statement of income in the period of discontinuance.
Changes in accounting principles can also impact HEI’s consolidated financial statements. For example, if management determines that a PPA requires the consolidation of the IPP in the financial statements, the consolidation could have a material effect on Hawaiian Electric’s and HEI’s 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.
Changes in the accounting principles for expected credit losses were issued by the FASB to replace existing impairment models, including replacing an “incurred loss” model for loans with a “current expected credit loss” model based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The changes also require enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. The Company will adopt the new accounting principle using an effective date of January 1, 2020, and is in the process of finalizing its analysis. The Company estimates that the increase in the allowance for credit losses as of the adoption date will be between $18 million to $22 million.
Electric utility risks.
The following risks are generally specific to Hawaiian Electric, but could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Regulatory Risk—Actions of the PUC are outside the control of the Utilities and could result in inadequate or untimely rate increases, in rate reductions or refunds or in unanticipated delays, expenses or writedowns in connection with the construction of new projects. The rates the Utilities are allowed to charge for their services and the timeliness of permitted rate increases are among the most important items influencing the Utilities’ results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The PUC has broad discretion over the rates that the Utilities charge their customers. AsOn December 23, 2020, as part of the decoupling mechanism thatD&O establishing a new PBR Framework, there will be a five-year Multi-year Rate Period (MRP) during which there will be no general rate cases. In the Utilities have implemented, eachfourth year of the UtilitiesMRP, the PUC will file a rate case once every three years. comprehensively review the PBR Framework to determine if any modifications or revisions are appropriate.
Any adverse decision by the PUC concerning the level or method of determining electric utility rates at the end of the multi-year rate period including the items and amounts that may be included in rate base, the returns on equity or rate base found to be reasonable, the potential consequences of exceeding or not meeting such returns, the denial of exceptional project recovery applications during the multi-year rate period, adverse impact of adjustments made to the PBR Framework, decisions on recovery of exogenous items under the PBR Framework, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision in a rate or other proceeding could have a material adverse effect on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
To improve the timing and certainty of the recovery of their costs, the Utilities have proposed and/or received approval of various cost recovery mechanisms, including an ECRC (changed(includes a PUC-ordered 98%/2% risk-sharing split between customers and the Utilities for fossil fuel price variations from ECAC in 2019)baseline prices, with a current annual aggregate exposure cap of +/- $3.7 million), a PPAC, and pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms, as well as a decoupling mechanism, aan exceptional project recovery mechanism (EPRM) (formerly major project interim recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism,mechanism), and a renewable energy infrastructure programRenewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP) surcharge. A change in, or the elimination of, any of these cost recovery mechanisms, could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities. See “Regulatory mechanisms” in Electric Utility’s Business.
On April 18, 2018,Under the PUC issued an order, institutingnew PBR Framework, the Utilities’ annual revenue adjustment (ARA) includes a proceeding to investigate performance-based regulation (PBR).customer dividend consisting of a negative adjustment of 0.22% compounded annually and a flow through of the “pre-PBR” savings commitment from the management audit recommendations developed in the 2020 test year rate case. The PUC’s implementationability of performance-based ratemaking for the Utilities pursuant to Act 005, Session Laws 2018, could include, but isrecover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not limited to, the potential addition of new performance incentive mechanisms, the adoption of third-party proposalscovered by the PUC in its implementation of PBR, and penalties forannual revenue adjustment (ARA) or not achieving performance incentive goals. The impacts of the implementation of PBR cannot be predictedcustomer dividend and these impactscost savings commitment could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities. Under the new PBR Framework, the existing PIMs continue, and the PUC established new PIMs and is working on additional PIMs with stakeholders. Not meeting the PIMs that have penalties for not achieving performance incentive goals or PIMs that would contribute to the Utilities’ ability to achieve their allowed ROACEs could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities.
Based on the current operations of the Utilities and regulatory framework, including the impact of the newly approved PBR Framework, the Utilities continue to follow regulatory accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980. Continued accounting in this manner requires that certain criteria relating to the recoverability of such costs through rates be met, including achieved financial results that support the recovery of costs. If events or circumstances should change, such that the criteria are no longer satisfied, the Utilities expect that their regulatory assets (amounting to $566 million as of December 31, 2021), net of regulatory liabilities (amounting to $997 million as of December 31, 2021), would be charged to the statement of income in the period of discontinuance. See “Performance-based regulation proceeding”framework” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Utilities could be required to refund to their customers, with interest, revenues that have been or may be received under interim rate orders in their rate case proceedings and other proceedings, if and to the extent they exceed the amounts allowed in final orders.
Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits (e.g., environmental and land use permits) from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits, or any adverse decision or policy made or adopted, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision, by an agency with respect to such approvals and permits, can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. In the event a project does not proceed, or if the PUC disallows cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if project costs exceed caps imposed by

26

the PUC in its approval of the project, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.
Energy cost recovery clauses.There is significant uncertainty around the potential impacts related to the recent surge in COVID-19 and the variant strains. See risk factor, “ The rate schedulesCOVID-19—Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of eachoperations are being and could continue to be adversely impacted by the ongoing effects of the Utilities include ECRCs (changed from ECACsCOVID-19 pandemic” in 2019—see below) under which electric rates charged to customers are automatically adjusted the “Holding company and company-wide” risk factor sectionfor changes ina discussion regarding the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power.
ECRCs are subject to periodic review by the PUC. In recent rate cases, the PUC has approved an additional trigger that would allow a re-establishment of fuel usage efficiency targets under certain conditions and annual automatic adjustments of fuel usage efficiency targets for all Utilities. In the most recent rate cases for the Utilities, the PUC approved revised ECRCs for the Utilities, which transferred the remaining fuel and purchased energy expenses recovery from base ratesrisks related to the ECRCs. Effective January 1, 2019, ECRC for Hawaiian Electric provides for a 98/2% risk-sharing split between ratepayersrecovery of deferred COVID-19 costs and Hawaiian Electric, of fossil fuel prices above or below a baseline price and the fuel usage efficiency pass-through within a range, with an annual maximum exposure cap of $2.5 million. Effective September 1, 2019, the ECRC for Maui Electric reflects 98/2% risk-sharing split between ratepayers and Maui Electric, with an annual maximum exposure cap of $0.6 million. Hawaii Electric Light’s ECRC does not have a risk-sharing split. See “Most recent rate proceedings” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
A change in, or the elimination of, the ECRC could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities.expenses.
Weather Conditions Risk—Electric utility operations are significantly influenced by weather conditions and natural disasters. The Utilities’ results of operations can be affected by the weather and natural disasters. Weather conditions, particularly temperature and humidity, directly influence the demand for electricity. In addition, severe weather and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lava flows and lightning storms, some of which may become more severe or frequent as a result of global climate changes, have occurred in the past and will likely continue to occur in the future. When these events occur, they can cause outages and property damage and require the Utilities to incur significant additional expenses that may not be recoverable.
Climate Change Risk—Electric utility operations may be significantly influenced by climate change. While the timing, extent and ultimate effects of climate change cannot be determined with any certainty, climate change is predicted to result in sea level rise, which could potentially impact coastal and other low-lying areas (where much of the Utilities’ electric infrastructure is sited), and could cause erosion of beaches, saltwater intrusion into aquifers and surface ecosystems, higher water tables and increased flooding and storm damage due to heavy rainfall. The effects of climate change on the weather (for example, floods, hurricanes, heat waves or drought conditions, the latter of which could increase wildfire risk), sea levels, and water availability and quality, all have the potential to materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the Utilities. For example, severe weather and its related impacts could cause significant harm to the Utilities’ physical facilities.
Third Party Performance Risk—Electric utility operations depend heavily on third-party suppliers of fuel and purchased power. The Utilities rely on fuel suppliers and shippers, and IPPs to deliver fuel and power, respectively, in accordance with contractual agreements. Approximately 72%67% of the net energy generated or purchased by the Utilities in 20192021 was generated from the burning of fossil fuel oil, and purchases of power by the Utilities provided about 46%48% of their total net energy generated and purchased for the same period. Failure or delay by fuel suppliers and shippers to provide fuel pursuant to existing contracts, or failure by a major IPP to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in its PPA, could disrupt the ability of the Utilities to deliver electricity, affect the Utilities’ maintenance schedules that could affect future reliability and require the Utilities to incur additional expenses to meet the needs of their customers that may not be recoverable. In addition, as the 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. Also, as these contractual agreements end, the Utilities may not be able to purchase fuel and power on terms equivalent to the current contractual agreements.
Capacity Risk—The capacity provided by the Utilities’ generating resources and third-party purchased power may not be sufficient to meet customers’ energy requirements. The Utilities rely upon their generating resources and purchased power from third parties to meet their customers’ energy requirements. The Utilities update their evaluation of long-term generation capacity evaluation each yearevery three years to determine the Utilities’ ability to meet reasonably expected demands for service and provide reasonable reserves for emergencies.emergencies and other unplanned events. These evaluations are impacted by a variety of factors, including customer energy demand, energy conservation and efficiency initiatives, economic conditions, and weather patterns. If the capacity provided by the Utilities’ generating resources and third-party purchased power is not adequate relative to customer demand, the Utilities may have to contract to buy more power from third parties, invest in additional generating facilities over the long-term, or extend the operating life of existing utility units. Any failure to meet customer energy requirements could negatively impact the satisfaction of the Utilities’ customers, which could have an adverse impact on the Utilities’ business, reputation and results of operations.
Stakeholder Activism Risk—Electric utility and third-party purchased power projects may be significantly impacted by stakeholder activism. The potential impact of stakeholder activism could increase total utility project costs, and delay the permitting, construction and overall timing or preclude the completion of third-party or utility projects that are required to meet electricity demand,


resilience and reliability objectives, and RPS and other climate related goals. If a utility project cannot be completed, the project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.income and negatively impact its financial condition and liquidity.
Operational Risk—Electric utility generating facilities are subject to operational risks that could result in unscheduled plant outages, unanticipated and/or increased operation and maintenance expenses and increased power purchase costs. Operation of electric generating facilities involves certain risks which can adversely affect energy output and efficiency levels. Included among these risks are facility shutdowns or power interruptions due to insufficient generation or a breakdown or
27

failure of equipment or processes. In addition, operations could be negatively impacted by interruptions in fuel supply, inability to negotiate satisfactory collective bargaining agreements when existing agreements expire or other labor disputes, inability to comply with regulatory or permit requirements, disruptions in delivery of electricity, operator error and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, fires, explosions, lava flows, floods or other similar occurrences affecting the Utilities’ generating facilities or transmission and distribution systems.
Legislative Risk—The Utilities may be adversely affected by new legislation or administrative actions. Congress, the Hawaii legislature and governmental agencies periodically consider legislation and other initiatives that could have uncertain or negative effects on the Utilities and their customers. Congress, the Hawaii legislature and governmental agencies have adopted, or are considering adopting, a number of measures that will significantly affect the Utilities, as described below.
Renewable Portfolio Standards law.  In 2015, Hawaii’s RPS law was amended to require electric utilities to meet an RPS of 15%, 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2015, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045 respectively. Energy savings resulting from energy efficiency programs do not count toward the RPS after 2014. The Utilities are committed to achieving these goals and met the 2015 and 2020 RPS; however, due to the exclusion of energy savings in calculating RPS after 2014 and risks such as potential delays in IPPs being able to deliver contracted renewable energy, it is possible the Utilities may not attain the required renewable percentages in the future, and management cannot predict the future consequences of failure to do so (including potential penalties to be assessed by the PUC). On December 19, 2008, the PUC approved a penalty of $20 for every MWh that an electric utility is deficient under Hawaii’s RPS law. The PUC noted, however, that this penalty may be reduced, in the PUC’s discretion, 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, as described in the RPS law and in an RPS framework adopted by the PUC. In addition, the PUC ordered that the Utilities will be prohibited from recovering any RPS penalty costs through rates.
Renewable energy.  In 2007, a measure was passed by the Hawaii legislature stating that the PUC may consider the need for increased renewable energy in rendering decisions on utility matters. Due to this measure, it is possible that, if energy from a renewable source is more expensive than energy from fossil fuel, the PUC may still approve the purchase of energy from the renewable source, resulting in higher costs.
Global climate change and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.  National and international concern about climate change and the contribution of GHGgreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels) to climate change have led to federal legislative and regulatory proposals and action by the state of Hawaii to reduce GHG emissions.
In July 2007, the State Legislature passed Act 234, which requires a statewide reduction of GHG emissions by January 1, 2020 to levels at or below the statewide GHG emission levels in 1990. On June 20, 2014, the Governor signed the final rules required to implement Act 234 and these rules went into effect on June 30, 2014. In general, Act 234 and the GHG rule require affected sources that have the potential to emit GHGs in excess of established thresholds to reduce their GHG emissions by 16% below 2010 emission levels by 2020. In accordance with Statestate requirements, the Utilities submitted an Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) to the DOH on June 30, 2015. The Utilities submitted a revised ERP2015, with the most recent revision filed on October 17, 2018 and subsequent revisions on May 15, 2019 and July 26, 2019,June 9, 2020, to reflect the partnership established between the Utilities and several IPPs. In this plan, the partnership has committed to a 16% reduction in GHG emissions in accordance with the rule. Asrule, which the partnership achieved in 2017 in advance of December 31, 2019, the 2020 requirement. The DOH issued the air permits that were pending that would have incorporatedincorporating the ERP have not been approved, and are subjectincluding provisions to additional public review and potential challenge. Additionally,address the lossperiod of unavailability of the PGV facility on Hawaii Island, unseasonable weather and the delay of additional renewable projects will make these goals more challenging in the immediate future.Island. It is expected that with the advent of additional renewable projects and the application to the PUC with respect to the expansion of the PPA for the PGV project, the goals should be attainable.
Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 269-6(b) requires that “in making determinations of the reasonableness of the costs pertaining to electric or gas utility system capital improvements and operations, the PUC shall explicitly consider, quantitatively or qualitatively, the effect of the state’s reliance on fossil fuels on price volatility, export of funds for fuel imports, fuel supply reliability risk, and greenhouse gas emissions.” Based on HRS § 269-6(b) and recent case law discussing the scope of this section, the Utilities are performing GHG analyses to quantitatively or qualitatively describe the GHG emissions of proposed projects that are submitted to the PUC for approval.
In June 2018, House Bill 2182 was signed into law as Act 15 and took effect on July 1, 2018. Among its provisions, Act 15 aligned the state’s clean energy and carbon sequestration efforts with climate initiative goals and established a statewide carbon neutral goal by 2045. Under this Act, efforts would be made to “sequester more atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases than emitted within the state as quickly as practicable, but no later than 2045.” The Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission, administratively placed under the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, was charged with endeavoring to achieve the target, and giving consideration to the impact of its plans, decisions and strategies on the state’s ability to attain the goal. The general functions, duties and powers of the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission are set forth in HRS § 225P-3. To achieve its mandates, the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
28

Commission may recommend plans, decisions and strategies that could have an impact on various entities including the Utilities.
The Utilities have taken, and continue to identify opportunities to take, direct action to reduce GHG emissions from their operations, including, but not limited to, supporting demand-side management programs that foster energy efficiency, using renewable resources for energy production and purchasing power from IPPs generated by renewable resources, and burning renewable biodiesel at selected Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electric generating units.


Performance-based regulation legislation. On April 24, 2018, Act 005, Session Laws 2018 was signed into In November 2021, the Utilities committed to a 70% reduction in power generation GHG emissions by 2030 compared to a 2005 baseline and achievement of net zero carbon emissions from power generation by 2045. While the reduction is not mandated by law, the Utilities could suffer reputational harm if it fails to achieve its commitments, which establishes performance metrics that the PUC shall consider while establishing performance incentives and penalty mechanisms under a performance-based ratemaking model. The law requires that the PUC establish these performance-based ratemaking mechanisms on or before January 1, 2020. The PUC opened a proceeding on April 18, 2018 to investigate performance-based regulation for the Utilities. See “Performance-based regulation proceedings” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. may negatively impact its business.
The foregoing legislation or legislation that now is, or may in the future be, proposed, such as potential carbon “cap and trade” legislation that, if applicable, may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation, present risks and uncertainties for the Utilities.
Renewable Transition Risk—The Utilities may be subject to increased operational challenges and their results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely impacted in meeting the commitments and objectives of clean energy initiatives, and Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and other climate related goals. The far-reaching nature of the Utilities’ renewable energy commitments and the RPS and other climate related goals present risks to the Company. Among such risks are: (1) 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; (2) the dependence on outside parties, such as the state, developers and third-party suppliers of renewable purchased energy, which if the Utilities are unsuccessful in negotiating purchased power agreements with such IPPs or if a major IPP delays or fails to deliver the anticipated capacity and/or energy in its purchased power agreement, could impact the Utilities’ achievement of their commitments to RPS and other climate related goals, eligibility for performance incentive mechanisms associated with the speed of increasing renewable generation, the ability to retire fossil fuel units, and/or the Utilities’ ability to deliver reliable service; (2)(3) delays in acquiring or unavailability of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable generation; (3)(4) the impact of intermittent power to the electrical grid and reliability of service if appropriate supporting infrastructure is not installed or does not operate effectively; (4)(5) the inability to recover the undepreciated cost of fossil fuel generating units if they are required to be retired before the end of their expected useful life; (6) uncertainties surrounding current and future renewable technologies, such as solar power, wind power, biofuels, battery storage, hydro, hydrogen, as well as related environmental assessments required to meet RPS and other climate related goals; (7) 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; (8) the likelihood that the Utilities may need to make substantial investments in related infrastructure, which could result in increased borrowings and, therefore, materially impact the financial condition and liquidity of the Utilities; (9) the imputed debt related to the pending renewable power purchase agreements under the stage 1 and (5)stage 2 RFPs could result in a credit rating downgrade for the Utilities and the Company; and (10) the commitment to support a variety of initiatives, which, if approved by the PUC, may have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition of the Utilities depending on their design and implementation. These initiatives include, but are not limited to, programs to enable more customer-sited generation. The implementation of these or other programs may adversely impact the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the Utilities.
Retirement of the AES coal plant—Hawaiian Electric’s ability to deliver reliable power could be impacted by the availability of AES’ coal plant for the remainder of the PPA term and by the availability of other generating units with the planned retirement of AES’ coal plant. The AES coal plant provides 180 MW of capacity (approximately 10% of generation) on Oahu and is scheduled for retirement on September 1, 2022. The availability of the AES coal plant as well as the availability of other IPP and utility units directly affects Hawaiian Electric’s maintenance schedules for its own and other IPP generation resources, which in turn could impact Hawaiian Electric’s ability to provide reliable service to its customers. On September 1, 2022, the PPA with AES will terminate and will not be renewed, which will require replacement capacity from other generating resources. Hawaiian Electric believes its plans, including contingency plans, are adequate 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, multiple demand response/distributed energy resources programs and a proposed battery project. However, if there were unexpected issues with existing generation, or Hawaiian Electric is not able to implement its plans for replacement generation after September 1, 2022, it could disrupt the ability of Hawaiian Electric to deliver reliable service, result in financial loss that may not be recoverable, cause business disruptions, result in liability to customers, invite regulatory intervention or result in damage to Hawaiian Electric’s reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities’ and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Bank risks.
The following risks are generally specific to ASB, but could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Interest Rate Risk—Fluctuations in interest rates could result in lower net interest income, impair ASB’s ability to originate new loans or impair the ability of ASB’s adjustable-rate borrowers to make increased payments or cause such borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate loans.  Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations. ASB’s net interest income consists primarily of interest income received on fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, mortgage-backed securities and investments, less interest expense consisting primarily of interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rate risk arises when earning assets mature or when their interest rates change in a time frame different from that of the costing liabilities. Changes in market interest rates, including changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term market interest rates (e.g., a flat or an inverted yield curve) or between different interest rate indices, and the duration and severity of the changes in market interest rates can impact ASB’s net interest margin. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
Although ASB pursues an asset-liability management strategy designed to mitigate its risk from changes in market interest rates, unfavorable movements in interest rates could result in lower net interest income. Residential 1-4 family fixed-rate mortgage loans comprised about 40%42% of ASB’s loan portfolio as of December 31, 20192021 and do not re-price with movements in interest rates. ASB continues to face a challenging interest rate environment. Increases in market interest rates could have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds. Higher market interest rates could lead to higher interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. Significant increases in market interest rates, or the perception that an increase may occur, could adversely affect ASB’s ability to originate new loans and grow. An increase in market interest rates, especially a sudden increase, could also adversely affect the ability of ASB’s adjustable-rate borrowers to meet their higher payment obligations. If this occurred, it could cause an increase in nonperforming assets and charge-offs. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates or a mismatching of maturities of interest sensitive financial instruments could result in an acceleration in the prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities and impact ASB’s ability to reinvest its liquidity in similar yielding assets.
LIBOR Sunset Transition Risk—Changes in the method for determining London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the potential replacement of LIBOR may affect our loan portfolio and interest income on loans.loans. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether or notOn March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA), as administrator of LIBOR, will cease to exist at that time or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established suchpublicly announced that it continuesintends to exist after 2021.cease publication of one week and two month USD LIBOR tenors on December 31, 2021 and the remaining USD LIBOR tenors on June 30, 2023. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee composed of large U.S. financial institutions, announced replacement of U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by U.S. Treasury securities called the Secured Overnight Financing


Rate (SOFR). ASB has loans and other financial instruments with rates that are either directly or indirectly tied to LIBOR. Failure to adequately manage this transition process with our customers could adversely impact the Bank’s reputation.
ASB has formed a cross-functional project team to oversee the transition. The potential effectproject team reports to Management and the Board on a periodic basis. The project team is organized around key work streams which cover products, systems and operational processes impacted by the transition as well as client communication. The project team has completed an inventory of existing LIBOR-indexed products, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. In addition, the project team has retired all LIBOR-based originations as of December 31, 2021 and continues to offer floating rate loans with alternative indices, including SOFR. ASB will continue to monitor legacy contracts and will continue the orderly transition away from LIBOR by June 30, 2023 in accordance with the OCC and other federal financial institution regulatory agencies’ statement on LIBOR transition.
Credit Risk—ASB’s allowance for credit losses may not cover actual loan losses. ASB’s allowance for credit losses is ASB’s estimate of lifetime expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit and is based on a continuing assessment of:
•existing risks in the loan portfolio;
•historical loss experience with ASB’s loans;
•changes in collateral value;
•current conditions (for example, economic conditions, real estate market conditions and interest rate environment) and;
•reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the eliminationreported amount.

If ASB’s actual loan losses exceed its allowance for credit losses, it may incur losses, its financial condition may be materially and adversely affected, and additional capital may be required to enhance its capital position. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of LIBORtheir examination process, regularly review the adequacy of ASB’s allowance. These agencies may require ASB to establish additional allowances based on ASB’s LIBOR-indexedtheir judgment of the information available at the time of
30

their examinations. No assurance can be given that ASB will not sustain loan portfolio and interest income on loans cannot yet be determined.losses in excess of present or future levels of its allowance for credit losses.
Operational Risk—ASB’s operations are affected by factors that are beyond its control, that could result in lower revenues, higher expenses or decreased demand for its products and services. ASB’s results of operations depend primarily on the income generated by the supply of, and demand for, its products and services, which primarily consist of loans and deposit services. ASB’s revenues and expenses may be adversely affected by various factors, including:
•local, regional, national and other economic and political conditions that could result in declines in employment and real estate values, which in turn could adversely affect the ability of borrowers to make loan payments and the ability of ASB to recover the full amounts owing to it under defaulted loans;
•the ability of borrowers to obtain insurance and the ability of ASB to place insurance where borrowers fail to do so, particularly in the event of catastrophic damage to collateral securing loans made by ASB;
•faster than expected loan prepayments that can cause 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 profiles and asset quality, which may increase or decrease the required level of allowance for loancredit losses;
•technological disruptions affecting ASB’s operations or financial or operational difficulties experienced by any outside vendor on whom ASB relies to provide key components of its business operations, such as business processing, network access or internet connections;
•events of default and foreclosure of loans whereby ASB becomes the owner of a mortgage properties that presents environmental risk or potential clean up liability;
•the impact of legislative and regulatory changes, including changes affecting capital requirements, increasing oversight of and reporting by banks, or affecting the lending programs or other business activities of ASB;
•additional legislative changes regulating the assessment of overdraft, interchange and credit card fees, which can have a negative impact on noninterest income;
•public opinion about ASB and financial institutions in general, which, if negative, could impact the public’s trust and confidence in ASB and adversely affect ASB’s ability to attract and retain customers and expose ASB to adverse legal and regulatory consequences;
•increases in operating costs (including employee compensation expense and benefits and regulatory compliance costs), inflation and other factors, that exceed increases in ASB’s net interest, fee and other income; and
•the ability of ASB to maintain or increase the level of deposits, ASB’s lowest costing funds.
Banking Regulatory Risk—Banking and related regulations could result in significant restrictions being imposed on ASB’s business or in a requirement that HEI divest ASB. ASB is subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by the Department of Treasury, the OCC and the FDIC, and is subject to reserve requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In addition, the FRB is responsible for regulating ASB’s holding companies, HEI and ASB Hawaii. The regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies to address not only ASB’s compliance with applicable banking laws and regulations, but also capital adequacy, asset quality, management ability and performance, earnings, liquidity and various other factors.
Under certain circumstances, including any determination that ASB’s relationship with HEI results in an unsafe and unsound banking practice, these regulatory authorities have the authority to restrict the ability of ASB to transfer assets and to make distributions to its shareholders (including payment of dividends to HEI), or they could seek to require HEI to sever its relationship with or divest its ownership of ASB. Payment by ASB of dividends to HEI may also be restricted by the OCC and FRB under its prompt corrective action regulations or its capital distribution regulations if ASB’s capital position deteriorates. In order to maintain its status as a QTL, ASB is required to maintain at least 65% of its assets in “qualified thrift investments.” Institutions that fail to maintain QTL status are subject to various penalties, including limitations on their activities. In ASB’s case, the activities of HEI and HEI’s other subsidiaries would also be subject to restrictions, and a failure or inability to comply with those restrictions could effectively result in the required divestiture of ASB. Federal legislation has also been proposed in the past that could operate to eliminate the thrift charter or the grandfathered status of HEI as a unitary thrift holding company, which in turn would result in a required divestiture of ASB. In the event of a required divestiture, federal law substantially limits the types of entities that could potentially acquire ASB.
Recent legislativeBank Regulatory Risk - Heightened regulatory requirements if ASB’s total assets exceed $10 billion. As of December 31, 2021, ASB had total assets of approximately $9.2 billion and it is possible that total assets could exceed $10 billion in the near future. The Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations impose enhanced supervisory requirements on financial institutions with more than $10 billion in total assets. For financial institutions with more than $10 billion in total assets, such requirements include, among other things:
31

•Applicability of Volcker Rule requirements and restrictions;
•Increased capital leverage, liquidity and risk management standards;
•Examinations by the CFPB for compliance with federal consumer financial protection laws and regulations; and
•Limits on interchange fees on debit cards (Durbin Amendment)
The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA), which was enacted in 2018, amended the Dodd-Frank Act to raise the $10 billion stress testing threshold to $250 billion, among other things. The federal financial regulators issued final rules in 2019 to increase the threshold for these stress testing requirements from $10 billion to $250 billion, consistent with the EGRRCPA.
ASB is already subject to limits for its interchange fees on debit cards as the Bank’s parent company, HEI, has total assets exceeding $10 billion and the Durbin Amendment did not exclude unitary thrift holding companies from the threshold for holding company assets subject to interchange fee limits.
Federal financial regulators may require ASB to take actions to prepare for compliance with the foregoing requirements before it exceeds $10 billion in total assets. ASB’s regulators may consider its preparation for compliance with these regulatory requirements when examining the Bank’s operations or considering any request for regulatory approval. ASB may, therefore, incur compliance costs before it reaches $10 billion in total assets and may be required to maintain the additional compliance procedures even if the Bank does not grow at the anticipated rate or at all.
Failure to comply with these new requirements may negatively impact the results of ASB’s operations and financial condition. To ensure compliance, the Bank may be required to invest significant resources, which may necessitate hiring additional personnel and implementing additional internal controls. These additional compliance costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Legislative Risk—Legislative and regulatory initiatives could have an adverse effect on ASB’s business. TheFrom time to time, new legislative and other regulatory initiatives are enacted, which could have an adverse effect on ASB’s business. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in July 2010, has had a substantial impact on the financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act establishes a framework through which regulatory reform will be written and changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies could affect HEI and ASB in substantial and unpredictable ways. A major component of the Dodd-Frank Act is the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that has the responsibility for setting and enforcing clear, consistent rules relating to consumer financial products and services and has the authority to prohibit practices it finds to be unfair, deceptive or abusive.


Compliance with any such directives could have adverse effects on ASB’s revenues or operating costs. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputationreputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on ASB’s business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Product Concentration Risk—A large percentage of ASB’s loans and securities are collateralized by real estate, and adverse changes in the real estate market and/or general economic or other conditions may result in loan losses and adversely affect the Company’s profitability. As of December 31, 20192021 approximately 82%83% of ASB’s loan portfolio was comprised of loans primarily collateralized by real estate, most of which was concentrated in the State of Hawaii. During 2019,2021, ASB’s HELOChome equity lines of credit (HELOC) decreased 13% and the residential 1-4 family portfolios grewincreased by 12% and 2%7%, respectively, and now comprise 78%comprising 73% of total real estate loans. ASB’s financial results may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, either nationally or in the state of Hawaii, including decreases in real estate values, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state government and other significant external events. Adverse changes in the economy may have a negative effect on the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. A deterioration of the economic environment in Hawaii, including a material decline in the real estate market, further declines in home resales, a material external shock, or any environmental clean-up obligation, may also significantly impair the value of ASB’s collateral and ASB’s ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. In the event of a default, amounts received upon sale of the collateral may be insufficient to recover outstanding principal and interest. In addition, if poor economic conditions result in decreased demand for real estate loans, ASB’s profits may decrease if its alternative investments earn less income than real estate loans.
Expanding commercial, commercial real estate and consumer lending activities may result in higher costs and greater credit risk than residential lending activities due to the unique characteristics of these markets. state. ASB had been pursuing a strategy that included expanding its commercial, commercial real estate and consumer lines of business. Commercial and commercial real estate loans have a higher risk profile than residential loans. Though both commercial and commercial real estate loans have shorter terms and earn higher spreads than residential mortgage loans, these loan types generally entail higher underwriting and other service costs and present greater credit risks than traditional residential mortgages. Commercial loans are secured by the assets of the business and, upon default, any collateral repossessed may not be sufficient to repay the outstanding loan balance. In addition, loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be affected by current economic conditions and adverse business developments. Commercial real estate properties tend to be unique and are more difficult to value than residential real estate properties. Commercial real estate loans may not be fully amortizing, meaning that they have a significant principal balance or “balloon” payment due at maturity. In addition, commercial real estate properties, particularly industrial and warehouse properties, are generally subject to relatively greater environmental risks than noncommercial properties and to the corresponding burdens and costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Also, there may be costs and delays involved in enforcing rights of a property owner against tenants in default under terms of leases with respect to commercial properties. For example, a tenant may seek protection under bankruptcy laws, which could result in termination of the tenant’s lease.
ASB also has a national syndicated lending portfolio where ASB is a participant in credit facilities agented by established and reputable national lenders. Management selectively chooses each deal based on conservative credit criteria to ensure a high-quality, well diversified portfolio. In the event the borrower encounters financial difficulties and ASB is unable to sell its participation interest in the loan in the secondary market, ASB is typically reliant on the originating lender for managing any loan workout or foreclosure proceedings that may become necessary. Accordingly, ASB has less control over such proceedings than loans it originates and may be required to accommodate the interests of other participating lenders in resolving
32

delinquencies or defaults on participated loans, which could result in outcomes that are not fully consistent with ASB’s preferred strategies. In addition, a significant proportion of ASB’s syndicated loans are originated in states other than Hawaii and are subject to the local regional and regulatory risks specific to those states.
Similar to the national syndicated lending portfolio, ASB does not service commercial loans in which it has participation interests rather than being the lead or agent lender and is subject to the policies and practices of the agent lender, who is the loan servicer, in resolving delinquencies or defaults on participated loans.
The consumer loan portfolio primarily consists of personal unsecured loans with risk-based pricing. Repayment is based on the borrower’s financial stability as these loans have no collateral and there is less assurance that ASB will be able to collect all payments due under these loans or have sufficient collateral to cover all outstanding loan balances.
General Risk Factors.
ASB’s allowance for loan lossesESG Risk—Increased scrutiny and changing stakeholder expectations with respect to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs may result in increased costs and expenses and may expose the Company to new or incremental risks. Companies across all industries, including HEI, face increasing stakeholder scrutiny related to ESG practices. These stakeholders include investors, customers, consumers, employees, lenders and other stakeholders, and in recent years, certain stakeholders have placed increasing importance on the impact and social cost of their investments. This increased focus and activism related to ESG may hinder the cost of, or access to, capital or financing as these investors or lenders may elect to increase their required returns on capital offered to the company, reallocate capital or not cover actual loan losses.ASB’s allowance for loan lossescommit capital as a result of their assessment of a company’s ESG profile. Additionally, if the Company fails to adapt, or is ASB’s estimate of probable losses inherentperceived to have failed in addressing investor, lender, and other stakeholder ESG expectations or standards, which continue to evolve, or if the Company fails to fully and accurately report its loan portfolioprogress on ESG initiatives, the Company may suffer reputational damage and is based on a continuing assessment of:
•existing risks in the loan portfolio;
•historical loss experience with ASB’s loans;
•changes in collateral value; and
•current conditions (for example, economic conditions, real estate market conditions and interest rate environment).


If ASB’s actual loan losses exceed its allowance for loan losses, it may incur losses, itsbusiness or financial condition maycould be materially and adversely affected, and additional capitalaffected.
Human Capital Risk—HEI’s businesses may be requiredunable to enhanceattract, hire, engage and retain a highly skilled and diverse workforce, including senior management, which could affect the Company’s execution of its capital position.growth strategy and profitability and adversely affect its future performance. The skill and experience of the Company’s employees, particularly with respect to the senior management team, are vital to the Company’s success. The management teams of HEI’s businesses have significant industry experience and would be difficult to replace. Failure to attract, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and diverse employee talent, to develop and implement adequate succession plans for the senior management team, or to maintain a successful work culture that fosters collaboration, innovation, and communications could disrupt the Company’s operations and adversely affect its businesses and its future success. In addition, various regulatory agencies,a variety of economic and social factors are exacerbating the current labor supply shortage, which may make it difficult to staff critical positions, retain key employees, and could result in significantly higher costs to maintain appropriate staffing levels with the right talent. The inability to fill these positions or a delay in staffing these positions could have a significant impact on the Company’s initiatives and strategies, which in turn would adversely affect the Company’s businesses and their future prospects.
Inflation Risk—The Company’s costs and expenses could increase as a result of inflationary pressures and such increases may not be fully offset by an integral partincrease in revenues. A variety of their examination process, regularly revieweconomic and social factors have recently driven inflation to levels above the adequacyFederal Reserve Board’s long-term target of ASB’s allowance. These agencies2%. Long-term inflationary pressures could result in higher labor, commodities, materials and supplies, outside services and capital costs, among others, that may require ASB to establish additional allowances based on their judgmentnot fully be offset by an increase in revenues, which would adversely affect the Company’s profitability and results of operations. For example, while the Utilities’ annual revenue adjustment mechanism provides for an annual inflationary adjustment, recent months’ annualized rates of inflation have surpassed the rate of the information availablelast inflationary adjustment for the Utilities’ target revenues. To the extent the Utilities increase in actual expenses exceeds the amount provided by the last inflationary adjustment and the Utilities are unable to offset such excess with other efficiencies or cost savings, the Utilities’ profitability could be adversely impacted. Similarly, to the extent that higher labor and other costs at ASB, due to inflation or other factors, is not fully offset by an increase in non-interest income or net interest income, which is dependent on interest rates, the timeshape of the yield curve, earning assets growth and low-cost deposit liabilities, the Bank’s profitability and results of operations would be adversely impacted.
Pension Liability Risk—HEI and Hawaiian Electric and their examinations. No assurance cansubsidiaries may incur higher retirement benefits expenses and have and will likely continue to be given that ASB willsubject to substantial liabilities for retirement benefits. Retirement benefits expenses and cash funding requirements could increase in future years depending on numerous factors, including, but not sustain loanlimited to, the performance of the U.S. equity markets, trends in interest rates and health care costs, plan amendments, mortality improvements, new laws relating to pension funding and changes in accounting principles. For the Utilities, however, retirement benefits expenses, as adjusted by the pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, have been an allowable expense for rate-making purposes.
33

Tax Legislation Risk—Adverse tax rulings or developments or changes in tax legislation could result in significant increases in tax payments and/or expense.Governmental taxing authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by HEI or its subsidiaries and if the taxing authorities prevail, HEI’s consolidated tax payments and/or expense, including applicable penalties and interest, could increase significantly. Additionally, changes in tax legislation or IRS interpretations could increase the Company’s tax burden and adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Litigation Risk—The Company could be subject to the risk of uninsured losses in excess of presentits accruals for litigation matters. HEI and its subsidiaries are involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of their businesses, most of which is covered by insurance (subject to policy limits and deductibles). However, other litigation may arise that is not routine or future levelsinvolves claims that may not be covered by insurance. Because of the uncertainties associated with litigation, there is a risk that litigation against HEI or its subsidiaries, even if vigorously defended, could result in costs of defense and judgment or settlement amounts not covered by insurance and in excess of reserves established in HEI’s consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Accounting Estimates Risk—Changes in accounting principles and estimates could affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities or revenues and expenses. HEI’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Changes in accounting principles (including the possible adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards or new U.S. accounting standards), or changes in the Company’s application of existing accounting principles, could materially affect the financial statement presentation of HEI’s or the Utilities’ consolidated results of operations and/or financial condition. Further, in preparing the consolidated 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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the amounts reported for electric utility revenues; allowance for loancredit losses; income taxes; investment securities, property, plant and equipment; regulatory assets and liabilities; derivatives; pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; and contingencies and litigation.
Changes in accounting principles can also impact HEI’s consolidated financial statements. For example, if management determines that a PPA requires the consolidation of the IPP in the financial statements, the consolidation could have a material effect on Hawaiian Electric’s and HEI’s 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.

2019 results includes $10.8 million of gains ($7.9 million after-tax at ASB’s statutory tax rate of 26.8%) on sales of real estate associated with ASB’s transition to its new campus. The gains were partially offset by $3.2 million ($2.4 million after-tax at ASB’s statutory tax rate of 26.8%) of exit costs associated with the move to the new campus. 2018 and 2019 results include the impact of the lower federal corporate tax rate as a result of the Tax Act. 2018 also reflects certain tax return adjustments relating to the benefit associated with additional tax deductions taken in the Company’s 2017 tax returns in conjunction with the rate differential provided in the Tax Act. The lower tax rate in 2018 and 2019 was partially offset by other Tax Act changes, including the non-deductibility of excess executive compensation and various fringe benefit costs. 2017 results include a $14 million adjustment, primarily to reduce deferred tax net asset balances (not accounted for under Utility regulatory ratemaking) to reflect the lower rates enacted by the Tax Act and $20 million ($11 million, net of tax impacts) lower in RAM revenues than prior year due to the expiration of the 2013 settlement agreement that allowed the accrual of RAM revenues on January 1 (vs. June 1) for years 2015 to 2016 at Hawaiian Electric. Results for 2016 and 2015 include merger- and spin-off-related income/(expenses), net of tax impacts, of $60 million and ($16 million), respectively.

HEI owns all of Hawaiian Electric’s common stock. Therefore, per share data is not meaningful.
2018 and 2019 results include the impact of the lower federal corporate tax rate as a result of the Tax Act, the benefits of which were returned to customers through a reduction in revenue requirements. 2018 also reflects certain tax return adjustments relating to the benefit associated with additional tax deductions taken in the Company’s 2017 tax returns in conjunction with the rate differential provided in the Tax Act. The lower tax rate in 2018 and 2019 was partially offset by other Tax Act changes, including the non-deductibility of excess executive compensation and various fringe benefit costs. 2017 results include $20 million ($11 million, net of tax impacts) lower in RAM revenues than prior year due to: 1) the expiration of the 2013 settlement agreement that allowed the accrual of RAM revenues on January 1 (vs. June 1) for years 2015 to 2016 at Hawaiian Electric, and 2) a $9 million adjustment, primarily to reduce deferred tax net asset balances (not accounted for under regulatory ratemaking) to reflect the lower rates enacted by Tax Act.

ITEM 7.ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
HEI and Hawaiian Electric (in the case of Hawaiian Electric, only the information related to Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries):
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes that appear in Item 8 of this report. For information on factors that may cause HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s actual future results to differ from those currently contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statements, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the front of this report and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. The general discussion of HEI’s consolidated results should be read in conjunction with the Electric utility and Bank segment discussions that follow.
HEI Consolidated
Executive overview and strategy. HEI is a holding company with operations primarily focused on Hawaii’s electric utility and banking sectors. In 2017, HEI formed Pacific Current to make investments in non-regulated renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects. HEI has three reportable segments—Electric utility, Bank, and Other.
Electric utility.utility. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric (Utilities) are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu; Hawaii; and Maui, Lanai and Molokai, respectively.
Bank. ASB is a full-service community bank serving both consumer and commercial customers in the State of Hawaii and has 49 branches on42 branches on the islands of Oahu (34)(29), Maui (6), Hawaii (5)(4), Kauai (3)(2), and Molokai (1).
Other. The Other segment comprises the results of Pacific Current, which invests in non-regulated clean energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii to help reach the state’s sustainability goals, and HEI’s corporate-level operating, general and administrative expenses and the results of Pacific Current.expenses.
A major focus of HEI’s financial strategy is to grow core earnings/profitability of itsat the Utilities, Bank and BankPacific Current in a controlled risk manner and improveoptimize operating, capital and tax efficiencies in order to support its dividend and deliver shareholder value. Together, HEI’s unique combination of power, sustainable investments, and financial services companies provides the Company with a strong balance sheet and the financial resources to invest in the strategic growth of its subsidiaries, while providing an attractive dividend for investors.
Recent developments—COVID-19. The Company remains focused on the continued safety and well-being of customers, employees, their families and the community. The Company’s mandatory work-from-home policy remains in effect for certain employees and this policy has not impaired the Company’s ability to serve customers and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. For personnel that cannot perform their work remotely, the Company has maintained safety protocols and policies to keep employees safe, while at the same time ensuring the reliability and resilience of its operations.
The Hawaii economy began to improve in the second half of 2021 as case counts declined and vaccination rates increased. However, the economic recovery experienced a setback early in the third quarter as the declining trend of daily COVID-19 case counts reversed and began a rapid increase, setting a pandemic high at that time, exceeding approximately 900 cases per day (7-day average) in early September. As a result of the rising cases, a number of preventative policies were enacted by state, county and private entities, which included limiting group sizes for indoor and outdoor activities, mandatory vaccinations or adherence to regular testing protocols, and proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test for entry into certain indoor venues under the state’s Safe Access program. Additionally, the governor of the State of Hawaii made an announcement in late August, recommending that tourists postpone their visit to Hawaii. These measures contributed to a significant decline in new cases, leading to a 7-day average of approximately 100 cases in early December.
Following the detection of the Omicron variant in Hawaii in early December, case counts have increased rapidly, reaching a high of approximately 4,666 new daily cases (7-day average) as of January 19, 2022. Since then, case counts have declined rapidly, reaching a 7-day average daily case count of 256 as of February 22, 2022. Although the severity of the Omicron variant appears to be significantly lower than the Delta variant, the higher case counts have led to an increase in hospitalizations.
Despite the case count spike from the Omicron variant, the state remains open for business. The Hawaii Safe Travels Program, allows domestic transpacific passengers to avoid mandatory quarantine with proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours prior to the flight into Hawaii. On January 3, 2022, the state reduced the mandatory quarantine period from ten days to five days, consistent with the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Hawaii vaccinations have steadily increased with over 75% of the state’s population fully vaccinated as of February 10, 2022 and 36% of those fully vaccinated received a third shot.
37

Tourism numbers remain below pre-pandemic levels, primarily due to a delayed recovery in international travel. However, domestic travel has recovered significantly and are nearing pre-pandemic levels, with January 2022 average daily passenger counts at approximately 92% of January 2020 average daily passenger counts. Although the Hawaii economy experienced a temporary setback with the Delta and Omicron variants, the Company expects that the Hawaii economy will continue to improve in 2022. In 2021, kWh sales remained below pre-pandemic levels, but were 1.7% higher than 2020 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 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 $25.8 million negative provision for credit losses in 2021 compared to a provision for credit losses of $50.8 million in 2020. Net interest income increased $3.7 million to $237.2 million in 2021 due to higher earning assets, primarily related to growth in the investment securities portfolio that was principally funded by the growth in deposits. The higher net interest income from the higher average earning asset balances, PPP income, and lower funding costs was partly offset by the impact of a decrease in loan portfolio balances and lower earning asset yields as a result of the low interest rate environment.
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.

The Company is committed to address all materialtransparency 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 including ESG considerations. The Board of Directors has delegated the day-to-day responsibilityrelated to executeclimate change, as well as associated risk management and governance processes, based on these action plans to management. The Company believes ESG considerations are embedded in our daily actions and drive how we engage with our employees, communities, and shareholders.
The Company intends to leverage the frameworks developed byrecommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) andDisclosures. It also outlines key impacts for the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)Company under two climate scenarios, including a scenario targeted to communicate our approach and progress onlimit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius or lower. The Company’s ESG matters in future filings.
We are committed to achieving a renewable, sustainable energy future, providing leadership in corporate social responsibility, and adhering to governance best practices.

In 2019,2021, net income for HEI common stock increased 8%24% to $218$246 million ($1.992.25 diluted earnings per share), compared to $202$198 million ($1.851.81 diluted earnings per share) in 2018,2020, due to $13$44 million higher net income at ASB and $6$8 million higher net income at the Utilities, and ASB, respectively, partially offset by $4 million higher net loss at the “other” segment. The increase in the Utilities’ 2019ASB’s 2021 net income compared to 20182020 was primarily due to a negative provision for credit losses as a result of improved credit quality as the local economy improved significantly from the prior year. Results for 2020 included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local and national economy, which resulted in higher provision for credit losses, lower net interest income due to a lower yield curve and additional noninterest expenses. The increase in the Utilities’ 2021 net income compared to 2020 was principally due to higher RAM and rate increasesARA revenues, which included the customer dividend and higher MPIR revenues,an offset of management audit savings delivered to customers and delivery of Hawaiian Electric ERP benefits commitment completed in 2020, partially offset by higher O&M expenses and depreciation. The increase in ASB’s net income was primarily due to gains on sale of properties exited in connection with ASB’s move to its new campus andhigher net interest income as a result of an increase in earning asset balances and yields, partially offset by higher provision for loan losses and higher compensation and occupancyoperating expenses. See “Electric utility,” “Bank,” and “HEI Consolidated—Other segment” sections below for additional information on year-to-year fluctuations.
The Company’s effective tax rate (combined federal and state income tax rates) was lowerhigher at 19%20% in 2019,2021, compared to 20%17.0% in 2018,2020, primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes in 2021, which reduces the rate impact of certain tax items, lower amortization in 2021 of the Utilities’ regulatory liability related to certain excess deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Act’s decrease in the federal income tax rate and a decrease in excess tax benefits of bank ownedrelated to share-based awards in 2021.

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 and Industrial Relations (DLIR), Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), Honolulu Board of REALTORS® and national and local newspapers)news media).
Hawaii’s tourism industry, a significant driver of Hawaii’s economy, ended 2019suffered dramatically with growtha 73.8% reduction in bothtotal visitor spending and arrivals. Visitor expenditures increased 1.4% and arrivals increased 5.4%in 2020 compared with 2019. Starting October 15, 2020, the state launched its Safe Travels Program that allows travelers to avoid the mandatory 14-day quarantine if they test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of departure. Effective July 8, 2021, domestic visitors can now bypass the mandatory quarantine or COVID-19 test by providing proof of vaccination. Since the launch of the Safe Travels Program, total daily passenger arrivals have steadily improved, but remain below pre-pandemic levels. For the fourth quarter of 2021, the average daily passenger count was 249.3% higher than the comparable period in the prior year, but still 22.2% 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 December 2021, domestic passenger counts were down 0.3% compared to 2018, although2019 pre-COVID-19 levels, while international passenger counts were down 89.7% compared to 2019 pre-COVID-19 levels.

The most recent forecast by UHERO, which was issued on December 17, 2021, forecasts full year 2021 real GDP growth of 5.8%, increase in total visitor arrivals of 149.2%, increase in real personal income of 0.8%, and an unemployment rate of 7.7%. This forecast reflects improvement of Hawaii’s economy after experiencing a downturn due to the implicationsDelta variant of incoming informationCOVID-19; however, the Omicron variant has set a new record in new daily virus cases and led to implementation of increased international travel restrictions.

situation clears. Real GDP growth in 2022 is forecasted to be 2.7% supported by a 22.8% increase in total visitor arrivals in 2022 to 8.3 million visitors and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 5.4%. 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 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.

Liquidity and capital resources. As of December 31, 2021, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had approximately $54 million and nil of commercial paper outstanding, respectively, and Hawaiian Electric had $52 million of cash and cash equivalents.
As of December 31, 2021, there was no balance on HEI’s revolving credit facility and the available committed capacity under the revolving credit facility was $175 million (see Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 31, 2021, there was no balance on Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facility and the available committed capacity under the revolving credit facility was $200 million. On April 19, 2021, the term of Hawaiian Electric’s $75 million 364-day revolving credit agreement expired and was not renewed. As of December 31, 2021, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.0 billion and ASB had unpledged investment securities of $2.5 billion that were available to be used as collateral for additional borrowing capacity.
As of 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 $321 million, which was a decrease of approximately $39 million compared to December 31, 2020.
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 ongoing COVID-19 impacts to the local economy. For the Utilities, the elevated level of unemployment in the state and the moratorium on customer disconnections (which ended on May 31, 2021) have resulted in higher accounts receivable balances and bad debt expense and may result in higher write-offs in the future. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $38 million of the Utilities’ accounts receivables were 30 days past due. Of the over 30 days past due amounts, approximately 30% 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 Developments—COVID-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, which grew 11% and 18% in 2021 and 2020, respectively. ASB’s cash and cash equivalents was $251 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $293 million as of December 31, 2020. ASB remains well above the Tax“well capitalized” level under the FDIC Improvement Act utility propertyprompt correction action capital category, and while the economic outlook has improved and is no longer eligibleexpected to continue to improve, there are still COVID-19 related business restrictions that remain in place that could create ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19’s impact on loan performance and the allowance for bonus depreciation. Consequently,credit losses (see “Recent Developments — COVID-19” in the initialBank section below).
To preserve and enhance the Company’s liquidity position and address higher working capital requirements, in light of the significant and ongoing uncertainty regarding the potential scale and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global, national and local economy, the Company completed a number of financing actions in 2021.
•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 Facilities), to amend and restate their respective previously existing unsecured revolving credit agreements. The committed capacity under the HEI Facility was increased to $175 million from $150 million and its term was extended to 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 from May 13, 2022.
•On September 29, 2021, HEI executed a $125 million private placement utilizing a delayed draw feature, which allows HEI to draw $75 million and $50 million at any time on or before December 29, 2021 and November 15, 2022, respectively. On December 29, HEI drew $75 million, the proceeds of which were primarily used to invest in the
41

Utilities’ equity and support its capital expenditure program. Proceeds from the remaining $50 million are expected to be used to refinance a portion of HEI’s $150 million long-term notes maturing in November 2022 or for other general corporate purposes. The ability to draw at any time prior to the November 15, 2022 date will provide additional liquidity in the interim period. The notes bear interest at a weighted average rate of 3.10% and have a weighted average maturity of 15.7 years.
If further liquidity is deemed necessary, which is not contemplated at this time, the Utilities could also reduce the pace of capital spending related to non-essential projects. Additionally, the Company has the option to issue new shares rather than purchase currently outstanding shares on the open market to satisfy share issuances under its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP) program. The estimated amount of equity capital that could be raised by issuing new shares, rather than utilizing open market purchases, is estimated to be approximately $30 million on an annual basis, based on historical demand, but such future amount is dependent on a number of factors, including, without limitation, future share prices, number of shares/participants in the DRIP program, and the amount of new investment in HEI’s stock by DRIP participants.
HEI material cash requirementrequirements. 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. Forecasted HEI consolidated “net cash used in investing activities” (excluding “investing” cash flows from ASB) for future2022 through 2026 consists primarily of the net capital expenditures of the Utilities principally related to maintaining and modernizing the grid to allow for the integration of more renewable energy, improved customer reliability, greater system efficiency and enhanced resilience. The Utilities’ capital expenditures are estimated to range from $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion over the next five years and are expected to be funded primarily through a combination of retained earnings and proceeds from debt issuance, and if required, contributions of equity from HEI to maintain the Utilities’ equity capitalization at approximately 58% (see also discussion regarding other material cash requirements under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources,” contained in the “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections below). In addition to the funds required for the Utilities’ construction programs and debt maturities, with respect to HEI, over the next five years, approximately $150 million will be required in 2022, $50 million in 2023, and $50 million in 2025 to repay maturing debt. Debt maturities are expected to be repaid with the proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, bank borrowings, other medium- or long-term debt, issuance of common stock and/or dividends from subsidiaries. Additional debt and/or equity financing may be utilized to invest in the Utilities, Bank or Pacific Current; to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings; to pay interest costs; or to fund unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2022 through 2026 forecast, such as increases in the costs of, or an acceleration of, the construction of capital projects will generally increase approximately 10% because of the lossUtilities or unanticipated utility capital expenditures. In addition, existing debt may be refinanced prior to maturity with additional debt or equity financing (or both).

Operating activities provided net cash of $376 million in 2021 and $429 million in 2020. Investing activities used net cash of $1,180 million in 2021 and $1,414 million in 2020. In 2021, net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, capital expenditures, and purchases of stock from bonus depreciation. Federal Home Loan Bank, partly offset by receipt of repayments from available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, proceeds from sale of available-for-sale investment securities, net decrease in loans held for investment, proceeds from sale of residential loans and redemption of stock from Federal Home Loan Bank. In 2020, net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale investment securities, capital expenditures, net increase in loans held for investment and purchases of held-to-maturity investment securities and stock from Federal Home Loan Bank, partly offset by receipt of repayments from available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, redemption of stock from Federal Home Loan Bank and proceeds from sale of available-for-sale investment securities.
Financing activities provided net cash of $756 million in 2021 and $1,116 million in 2020. In 2021, net cash provided by financing activities included net increases in deposits and proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, partly offset by payment of common and preferred stock dividends, repayment of long-term debt, short-term debt and net decreases in short-term borrowings. In 2020, net cash provided by financing activities included net increases in deposits and proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, short-term debt and other bank borrowings, partly offset by payment of common and preferred stock dividends, repayment of long-term debt, short-term debt and other bank borrowings and net decreases in short-term borrowings and other bank borrowing with original maturities of three months or less.
For a discussion of 2019 operating, investing and financing activities, please refer to the “Liquidity and capital resources” section in Item 7, “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—HEI Consolidated,” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.

Other than capital contributions from their parent company, intercompany services (and related intercompany payables and receivables), Hawaiian Electric’s periodic short-term borrowings from HEI (and related interest) and the payment of dividends to HEI, the electric utility and bank segments are largely autonomous in their operating, investing and financing activities. (See the electric utility and bank segments’ discussions of their cash flows in their respective “Liquidity and capital resources” sections below.) During 2021, Hawaiian Electric, ASB (through ASB Hawaii) and Hamakua Energy paid cash dividends to HEI of $112 million, $59 million and $1 million, respectively.
A portion of the net assets of Hawaiian Electric and ASB is not available for transfer to HEI in the form of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval. In the absence of an unexpected material adverse change in the financial condition of the electric utilities or ASB, such restrictions are not expected to significantly affect the operations of HEI, its ability to pay dividends on its common stock or its ability to meet its debt or other cash obligations. See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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, commercial paper andas 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 requirementsrequirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be an evolving situation, and the Company 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 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. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I for the foreseeable future.further discussion of risks and uncertainties.

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—Liquidity and capital resources” below. The maximum amount of HEI’s short-term commercial paper borrowings in 20192021 was $102$129 million.
HEI utilizes short-term debt, typically commercial paper, to support normal operations, to refinance commercial paper, to retire long-term debt, to pay dividends and for other temporary requirements, including short-term financing needs of its subsidiaries. HEI also periodically makes short-term loans to Hawaiian Electric to meet Hawaiian Electric’s cash requirements, including the funding of loans by Hawaiian Electric to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, but no such short-term loans to Hawaiian Electric were outstanding as of December 31, 2019.2021. HEI periodically utilizes long-term debt, historically unsecured


indebtedness, to fund investments in and loans to its subsidiaries to support their capital improvement or other requirements, to repay long-term and short-term indebtedness and for other corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2021, HEI’s debt maturities in 2022 include $150 million of long-term debt that matures in November 2022. HEI has partially prefunded $50 million of this maturity through the $125 million private placement completed in September 2021. See Notes 5 and 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a brief description of the Company’s loans.
HEI has a $150 million line of credit facility with no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2019. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Such ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities; such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies; and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
There were no new issuances of common stock through the Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP)HEI DRIP, HEIRSP or the ASB 401(k) Plan in 2019, 2018,2021, 2020, or 20172019 and HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan through open market purchases of its common stock.
Operating activities provided net cash of $512 million in 2019 and $499 million in 2018. Investing activities used net cash of $542 million in 2019 and $792 million in 2018. In 2019, net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to capital expenditures, net increase in loans held for investment, purchases of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities and stock from Federal Home Loan Bank and contributions to low-income housing investments, partly offset by receipt of repayments from available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, redemption of stock from Federal Home Loan Bank and proceeds from sale of available-for-sale investment securities and real estate held for sale. In 2018, net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to capital expenditures, purchases of available-for-sale investment securities, net increase in loans held for investment, purchases of held-to-maturity investment securities, purchase of stock from Federal Home Loan Bank and contributions to low-income housing investments, partly offset by receipt of repayments from available-for-sale investment securities, proceeds from the sale of commercial loans, redemption of stock from Federal Home Loan Bank and repayments from held-to-maturity investment securities.
Financing activities provided net cash of $88 million in 2019 and $200 million in 2018. In 2019, net cash provided by financing activities included proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and short-term debt, net increases in deposits and short-term borrowings, partly offset by payment of common and preferred stock dividends, repayment of long-term debt and funds transferred for redemption of long -term debt and repayment of short-term debt. In 2018, net cash provided by financing activities included proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net increases in deposits and retail repurchase agreements, partly offset by payment of common and preferred stock dividends, long-term debt maturities and net decreases in short-term debt and other bank borrowings.
For a discussion of 2017 operating, investing and financing activities, please refer to the “Liquidity and capital resources” section in Item 7, “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—HEI Consolidated,” in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.
Other than capital contributions from their parent company, intercompany services (and related intercompany payables and receivables), Hawaiian Electric’s periodic short-term borrowings from HEI (and related interest) and the payment of dividends to HEI, the electric utility and bank segments are largely autonomous in their operating, investing and financing activities. (See the electric utility and bank segments’ discussions of their cash flows in their respective “Liquidity and capital resources” sections below.) During 2019, Hawaiian Electric and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $101 million and $56 million, respectively.
A portion of the net assets of Hawaiian Electric and ASB is not available for transfer to HEI in the form of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval. In the absence of an unexpected material adverse change in the financial condition of the electric utilities or ASB, such restrictions are not expected to significantly affect the operations of HEI, its ability to pay


dividends on its common stock or its ability to meet its debt or other cash obligations. See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forecasted HEI consolidated “net cash used in investing activities” (excluding “investing” cash flows from ASB) for 2020 through 2022 consists primarily of the net capital expenditures of the Utilities, estimated to range from $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion over the next three years. In addition to the funds required for the Utilities’ construction programs and debt maturities (see “Electric utility–Liquidity and capital resources” below), approximately $50 million will be required in 2021 and $150 million in 2022 to repay HEI-issued private placement notes maturing in March 2021 and November 2022, which are expected to be repaid with the proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, bank borrowings, other medium- or long-term debt, common stock and/or dividends from subsidiaries. Additional debt and/or equity financing may be utilized to invest in the Utilities, bank or Pacific Current; to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings; or to fund unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2020 through 2022 forecast, such as increases in the costs of, or an acceleration of, the construction of capital projects of the Utilities or unanticipated utility capital expenditures. In addition, existing debt may be refinanced prior to maturity with additional debt or equity financing (or both).

Includes contractual obligations and commitments for capital expenditures and expense amounts.
The table above does not include other categories of obligations and commitments, such as deferred taxes, trade payables, amounts that will become payable in future periods under collective bargaining and other employment agreements and employee benefit plans, and potential refunds of amounts collected from ratepayers (e.g., under the earnings sharing mechanism). As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the assets held in trusts to satisfy the obligations of the Company’s retirement benefit plans did not exceed the retirement benefit plans’ benefit obligation. Minimum funding requirements for retirement benefit plans have not been included in the tables above; however, see Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2020 estimated contributions. There were no material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019.
See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of fuel and power purchase commitments. See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of ASB’s commitments.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, which had a material effect on its balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 due to the recognition of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recent accounting pronouncements—Leases,” and Note 8, “Leases,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-balance sheet arrangements.  Although the Company and the Utilities have certain off-balance sheet arrangements, management has determined that it has no off-balance sheet arrangements that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s and the Utilities’ financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,


results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors, including the following types of off-balance sheet arrangements:
1.obligations under guarantee contracts,
2.retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangements that serve as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets,
3.obligations under derivative instruments, and
4.obligations under a material variable interest held by the Company or the Utilities in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company or the Utilities, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company or the Utilities.
1.obligations under guarantee contracts,
2.retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangements that serve as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets,
3.obligations under derivative instruments, and
4.obligations under a material variable interest held by the Company or the Utilities in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company or the Utilities, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company or the Utilities.
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.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the amounts reported for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; contingencies and litigation; income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; electric utility unbilled revenues; allowance for loancredit losses; fair value; and asset retirement obligations.obligations (AROs). Management considers an accounting estimate to be material if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made and changes in the assumptions selected could have a material impact on the estimate and on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
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 the policies discussed below 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. The policies affecting both of the Company’s two principal segments are discussed below and the policies affecting just one segment are discussed in the respective segment’s section of “Material estimates and critical accounting policies.” Management has reviewed the material estimates and critical accounting policies with the HEI Audit & Risk Committee and, as applicable, the Hawaiian Electric Audit & Risk Committee.
For additional discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and for additional discussion of material estimates and critical accounting policies, see the electric utility and bank segment discussions below under the same heading.
Pension and other postretirement benefits obligations. The Company’s benefit obligations and reported costs of providing retirement benefits are dependent upon numerous factors resulting from actual plan experience and assumptions about future experience. For example, retirement benefits costs are impacted by actual employee demographics (including age and compensation levels), the level of contributions to the plans, earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses on plan assets, and changes made to the provisions of the plans. Costs may also be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial
45

assumptions, including the expected return on plan assets, the discount rate and mortality. The Company’s accounting for retirement benefits under the plans in which the employees of the Utilities participate is also adjusted to account for the impact of decisions by the PUC. Changes in obligations associated with the factors noted above may not be immediately recognized as costs on the income statement, but generally are recognized in future years over the remaining average service period of plan participants.
The discount rate used to calculate the Company’s benefit obligations is a significant assumption that affects the Company’s benefit obligations. As of December 31, 2021, the discount rate for HEI and the Utilities’ qualified pension plan was 3.05%. Based on various assumptions in Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, sensitivities of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) as of December 31, 2019,2021, associated with a change in certain actuarial assumptions,the discount rate, were as follows and constitute “forward-looking statements”:

Also, see Notes 1 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.


Contingencies and litigation.  The Company is subject to proceedings (including PUC proceedings), lawsuits and other claims. Management assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments in or outcomes of these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses, including costs of investigation. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is based on an analysis of each individual case or proceeding often with the assistance of outside counsel. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach in dealing with these matters, such as a change in settlement strategy.
In general, environmental contamination treatment costs are charged to expense, unless it is probable that the PUC would allow such costs to be recovered through future rates, in which case such costs would be capitalized as regulatory assets. Also, environmental costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property; the costs mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination; or the costs are incurred in preparing the property for sale.
See Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect when such deferred tax assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management evaluates its potential exposures from tax positions taken that have or could be challenged by taxing authorities. These potential exposures result because taxing authorities may take positions that differ from those taken by management in the interpretation and application of statutes, regulations and rules. Management considers the possibility of alternative outcomes based upon past experience, previous actions by taxing authorities (e.g., actions taken in other jurisdictions) and advice from its tax advisors. Management believes that the Company’s provision for tax contingencies is reasonable. However, the ultimate resolution of tax treatments disputed by governmental authorities may adversely affect the Company’s current and deferred income tax amounts.
See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Following are discussions of the electric utility and bank segments. Additional segment information is shown in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The discussion concerning Hawaiian Electric should be read in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Electric utility
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
46

enable the creation of smart, sustainable, resilient communities and achieve its decarbonization goals that are aligned with the statutory goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Recent developments—COVID-19.
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
Starting in early December, new COVID-19 case counts, which now include the Omicron variant, started to increase and reached a high of 4,666 cases per day (7-day average) on January 19, 2022. Since then, case counts have declined rapidly, reaching a 7-day average daily case count of 256 as of February 22, 2022. Although case counts have increased, the severity of the disease appears to be lower than the Delta variant. As a result, the state and counties have generally not reinstituted the same restrictions that were put in place to manage the Delta variant. The economy remains open for business and the mandatory quarantine period for travelers who have not been vaccinated or who have not provided evidence of a negative COVID test has been reduced to five days. For the full year 2021, driven by the broader reopening of the economy, the demand for electricity has increased 1.7% from 2020 levels; however, the full year 2021 kWh sales are still 5.5% below the pre-pandemic level of kWh sales in 2019.
While the Utilities’ electric energy revenues have not been significantly impacted due to the decoupling mechanism, which allows recovery of the difference between PUC approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues regardless of the level of kWh sales, the timing of customer collections would be delayed (or accelerated) if the level of kWh sales decreases below (or increases above) the estimated kWh sales. See “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling. As part of the annual review cycle, the Utilities submit bi-annual decoupling filings (fall and spring revenue report) to the PUC. The fall revenue report requests recovery by the utility (or refund to customers) of the difference between recorded adjusted revenues and target revenues under the RBA. The difference is collected or refunded through an adjustment to customer rates in the following year based on estimated sales, starting on January 1st of that following year, which has an impact on the timing of the Utilities’ cash flow. Additionally, although the Utilities’ decoupling mechanism allows for collection under the RBA, the RBA balance accrues interest only at the short-term debt rate from the last rate case (2.5% for Hawaiian Electric, 3.75% for Hawaii Electric Light and 3.0% for Maui Electric). As of December 31, 2021, the RBA balance was approximately $28.5 million, compared to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The billed accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021, was $187 million, or 26.4% higher, than the billed account receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, due in part to higher fuel prices resulting in higher bills. The past due accounts receivable balance increased by $19 million, or 38%, since December 31, 2020 with a corresponding increase in the number of accounts past due by approximately 13% for the same period. The increase in accounts receivables was primarily driven by higher fuel prices, as well as lower cash receipts associated with the auto-enrollment of customers in payment plans, starting in July 2021 through mid-September 2021, under which the past due balances are recovered over a 12-18 month period. While the moratorium on customer disconnections ended on May 31, 2021, the Utilities initially focused its efforts on working with customers to enroll in payment plans and seek other bill assistance for customers through funding from non-profit organizations, as well as state and county relief programs. Starting in September 2021, the Utilities have begun the disconnection process for those customers that have not enrolled in payment plans or that have not adhered to their payment plans, beginning with the largest and oldest amounts in arrears. 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.
The Utilities provide an essential service to the State of Hawaii, and have continued to operate to protect the health and safety of employees and customers and to ensure system reliability, and have been following the Governor’s directive that the Utilities take necessary measures to ensure they can operate in the normal course. The Utilities have also implemented certain aspects of their business continuity plans, which includes the activation of its Incident Management Team to closely manage the response to the pandemic and have implemented practices related to employee and facilities hygiene in order to ensure the reliability and resilience of their operations.
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 December 31, 2021, these cumulative costs, which have been deferred and recorded as a regulatory asset, totaled approximately $27.8 million (see also discussion under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Utilities currently have approval to defer COVID-19 related costs through December 31, 2021 and will be seeking recovery of the deferred costs in a separate proceeding at a future date. Looking forward, while the distribution and administration of the COVID-19 vaccine has allowed for fewer restrictions and a broader reopening of the Hawaii economy, a worsening of COVID-19 case counts with the Omicron or other variants or a prolonged period of current or more severe 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
47

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. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II for additional discussion of risks.
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.”
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 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transition to renewable energy.a decarbonized and sustainable energy future. The Utilities are fully committed to leading and enabling pathways to a 100 percent renewabledecarbonized and sustainable energy future for HawaiiHawaii. The Utilities believe that a holistic approach to decarbonization is needed, and are partnering withthat such a strategy requires achieving the State of Hawaii in achieving its Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 100%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 set a goal to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2045. 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. See “Retirement of the AES coal plant” in the “Risk Factor” section for additional information on the transition risks.
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, multiple demand response/distributed energy resources programs and a proposed battery project. 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 RPSrenewable portfolio standard law requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. Hawaii law has also established a target of sequestering more atmospheric 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 adding significant amounts of renewable energy resources to their electric systems and exceeded theachieving RPS goals. TheUtilities reached its 2015 RPS goal two years early. The Utilities’early and exceeded the 30% RPS target for 2019 was approximately 28% and2020, achieving an RPS of 34.5% that year. In 2021, the Utilities are on track to achieve the 2020achieved an RPS goal of 30%38.4%. The Utilities will continue to actively procure additional renewable energy post-2020post-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). Also, since the Hawaii Clean Energy initiative was launched in 2008, the Utilities have continued to reduce the fuel to produce electricity. The fuel consumption in 2019 was approximately 82.5 million gallons less than that consumed in 2008. The combination of replacing fossil fuel generation with renewables, customer conservation efforts, and energy efficiency actions has allowed the Utilities to achieve its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 16% (compared to a 2010 baseline) ahead of schedule in 2014. As of the end of 2019, the Utilities have achieved a 18% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2010.
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 2019,2021, a 1% shortfall in meeting the 20202030 RPS requirement of 30%40% would translate into a penalty of approximately $1.75$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 Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electricthe Utilities to limited commodity fossil fuel price exposure under a fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism. Currently, theThe fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the two utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of $3.1$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 100% renewable energydecarbonized future and have made significant progress in its transformation.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 is anare environmental and social costcosts from the continued use of fossil fuels.
The state’sState of Hawaii’s policy is supported by the regulatory framework and includes a number of mechanisms designed to provide utilitymaintain the Utilities’ financial stability during the transition toward the state’s 100% renewable energydecarbonized 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 declined (with the exception of 2019)2019 and the first quarter of 2020), 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 rateannual revenue adjustment mechanism to provide revenues for escalationannual changes in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes between rate cases,utility revenues and the majorexceptional project interim recovery mechanism, which allowallows the Utilities to recover and earn on certain approved major capitaleligible projects placed into service in between rate cases.service. See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” and “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Integrated Grid Planning. Achieving 100%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 filed its Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) Report with the PUC on March 1, 2018, which providesare 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 PUC opened a docket to review the IGP process that the Utilities had proposed, and the resulting plans. In March 2019, the PUC accepted the Utilities’ IGP Work plan submitted on December 14, 2018, which describes the timing and scope of major activities that will occur in the IGP process. The IGP utilizes an inclusive and transparent Stakeholder Engagement model to provide an avenue for interested parties to engage with the CompaniesUtilities and contribute meaningful input throughout the IGP process. The IGP Stakeholder Council, Technical AdvisorAdvisory 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. Once approved by the PUC, the next phase of the process, which includes the development of long-range integrated grid plans, 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, 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.
InOn 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 60MW of grid services with focus on capacity reduction 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 2017,13, 2021. The Utilities made their final selections on November 10, 2021 and commenced negotiations immediately after. The Utilities are targeting to execute GSPA contracts in early 2022 and file to the PUC for approval.
On June 8, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request made in December 2015new program, Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP), a battery storage incentive program to deferdispatch electricity between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily from participating residential and recover certain computer software and software development costscommercial customers, to address the potential reserve shortfalls following the AES coal plant retirement. The PUC approved EDRP for a DR Management System in50MW on Oahu with an amountincentive budget not to exceed $3.9$34 million, exclusive of allowance for funds used during construction, throughwhich will be recovered via a surcharge cost recovery mechanism over a 10-year amortization. The Utilities’ implementation plan was approved by the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP) Surcharge. The Utilities placed the DR Management System in service in the first quarter of 2019. On OctoberPUC on June 30, 2019,2021, and the Utilities subsequently filed the final cost report, reflecting total project costsupdated EDRP tariffs on July 1, 2021. As of $3.7 million. On February 27, 2020,December 31, 2021, the PUCUtilities have received and approved the Utilities’ request to recover deferred and other related costs of DR Management System through REIP Surcharge effective March 1, 2020 until such costs are included in determining base rates.applications totaling approximately 3.47 MW.
On January 25, 2018, the PUC approved the Utilities’ revised DR Portfolio tariff structure. The PUC supported the approach of working with aggregators to implement the DR portfolio. In 2019, the Utilities signed a multi-year Grid Services Purchase Agreement with a third party aggregator. These contracts pay service providers to aggregate grid-supporting capabilities from customer-sited Distributed Energy Resources. The first of these five-year contracts in a not-to exceed amount of $22 million has been executed (PUC approval obtained on August 9, 2019) and is expected to not only deliver benefit through efficient grid operations but also avoided fuel costs over that 5-year period. The Utilities will select the next set of aggregators in the first quarter of 2020. As the PUC considers Performance-based Regulation, demonstrated savings resulting from these contracts could results in shared savings for the Utilities. This complements the Utilities’ transformation and supports customer choice.

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 DERdistributed energy resources and renewable energy integration. Under the Grid Modernization Strategy, the Utilities expect that new technology will help tripleincrease adoption of private rooftop solar and make use of rapidly evolving products, including storage and advanced inverters. The Utilities have begun work to implement theare implementing Phase 1 of their Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1,(proportional deployment), which received PUC approval on March 25, 2019. The estimated cost for this initial phase is approximately $86 million and is expected to be incurred over five years. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $36 million has been incurred to date under Phase 1 and is currently being recovered under the Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (formerly known as MPIR adjustment mechanism) until such costs are included in base rates. The Utilities have deployed over 50,000 advanced meters since the beginning of deployment and is working with the PUC on plans to expand Phase 1 to cover full service territory.
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. The estimated cost for the implementation over five years of the Advanced Distribution Management System, which includes capital, deferred and O&M costs, is $46 million. Additional applications will be filed later to implement subsequent phases of the strategy. OnHowever, 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 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 complete. Phase 1 is currently scheduled to finish by the end of 2023; however, the PUC is considering expanding the scope of Phase 1 meter installations to full service territory deployment, with proposed completion dates of the third quarter of 2024 or the second quarter of 2025. Resumption of the Phase 2 proceeding would likely commence six months prior to the 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. The Utilities’ role is limited to administrative only during the first phase. As administrators, the Utilities will work with subscriber organizations to allocate capacity, answer general program questions, verify subscriber eligibility and process bill credits for subscribers. The Utilities are in the process of verifying the projects and awarding the capacity to interested subscriber organizations.island, closed on April 9, 2020.
The second phase, will commence after reviewwhich commenced on April 9, 2020, allows up to 235 MW across all Hawaiian Electric service territories in two tranches for small (under 250 kW) and large system sizes to encourage a variety of system sizes. To provide opportunities for low- to moderate-income (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 235 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.
On November 22, 2021, CBRE RFPs for Molokai and Lanai were issued and are currently accepting proposals through February 15, 2022. 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.
For small CBRE projects less than 250 kW in size, the Utilities are planning to accept projects over a four-month period on a first full yearcome first served basis as soon as the PUC approves the Utilities’ final tariff and contracts, filed on September 8, 2020. The PUC reserved 30 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. If applications exceed the first phase. The second phase is contemplatedprogram capacity for that island, then a reverse auction process called Competitive Credit Rate Procurement will be triggered to be a largerallocate project capacity and include multipledetermine the credit rates (e.g., time of day) and various technologies.rate. The Utilities will have developed a CBRE Portal where customers can subscribe to a project once the opportunity to develop self-build projects; however 50% of utility capacity will be reserved for low to moderate income customers.

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 issued an order institutingopened a proceeding to investigate the establishment of a microgrid services tariff, pursuant to Act 200 of 2018. The PUC granted motions to intervene in the docket by eight parties (there are currently six parties) and completed its initial procedural schedule in March 2019.tariff. In August 2019, the PUC issued an order stating that the focusprioritizing items for the remainder ofresolution in the docket isand directed the Parties to facilitateestablish working groups (the “Working Group”) to address issues identified by the ability of microgrids to disconnect fromPUC.

The PUC also required the parties to form two Working Groups: (1) a Market Facilitation Working Group to recommend draft tariff language for the Microgrid Services Tariff; and (2) an Interconnection Standards Working Group to develop a new section of Rule 14H specific to interconnection and islanding/reconnection of microgrids. The Utilities are to filefiled a Draft Microgrid Services Tariff and Rule 14H Updatesupdated language for various distributed energy resources Rules. On November 30, 2020, the PUC held a technical conference to present its proposed redlines to the Utilities’ Draft Microgrid Services Tariff and related documents. On February 1, 2021, the Working Group filed its Draft Microgrid Tariff reflecting areas of consensus and disagreement among the Parties. On May 17, 2021, the PUC issued an order directing the Utilities to submit the Microgrid Services Tariff and appendices as modified by March 30, 2020.the PUC. The PUC further stated its intent to issue a separate order to govern the next phase of the Microgrid Tariff proceeding. 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.
Decoupling. See “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.
Regulated returns. As part of decoupling,the PBR Framework’s annual review cycle, the Utilities also 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. AnnualThe 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 utility over300 basis points dead band above and abovebelow the current authorized rate-making ROACE allowed byof 9.5% for each of the PUC are shared between the utility and its ratepayers on a tiered basis.Utilities.

Although international visitor arrivals have not recovered, increases in domestic travel, easing of restrictions, and high vaccination rates led to sales slowly rebounding as the year progressed but remained lower than pre-pandemic levels in 2019.
The rate schedules of the electric utilities currently contain ECRCs (changed from ECACs in 2019) through which changes in fuel oil prices and certain components of purchased energy costs are passed on to customers.

kWh sales were higher in 2019 when compared to the prior year due largely to warmer humid weather in 2019 than 2018.
Hawaiian Electric’s effective tax rate (combined federal and state income tax rates) in 20192021 and 20182020 was comparableslightly higher at 20% in 2021, compared to 19%. Income tax expense for 2019 reflects higher, primarily due to the lower amortization in 2019 versus 20182021 of the Utilities’ regulatory liability related to certain excess deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Act’s decrease in the federal income tax rate while 2018 incomeand a decrease in excess tax expense reflects certainbenefits related to share-based awards in 2021. These increases were partly offset by federal research and development tax return adjustments recordedclaims in 2018 relating to the benefit associated with additional tax deductions taken in the Company’s 2017 tax returns in conjunction with the rate differential provided in the Tax Act.2021.

The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of December 31, 20192021 amounted to $4$4.8 billion, of which approximately 29%26% related to generation PPE, 62%65% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 9% related to other PPE. Approximately 9%8% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission.
Most recent rate proceedings.  Unless otherwise agreed or ordered, each electric utility is currently required by PUC order to initiate a rate proceeding every third year (on a staggered basis) to allow the PUC and the Consumer Advocate to regularly evaluate decoupling and to allow the utility to request electric rate increases to cover rising operating costs and the cost of plant and equipment, including the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve service reliability and integrate more renewable energy. The PUC may grant an interim increase within 10 to 11 months following the filing of an application, but there is no guarantee of such an interim increase and interim amounts collected are refundable, with interest, to the extent they exceed the amount approved in the PUC’s final decision and order (D&O). The timing and amount of any final increase is determined at the discretion of the PUC. The adoption of revenue, expense, rate base and cost of capital amounts (including the ROACE and RORB) for purposes of an interim rate increase does not commit the PUC to accept any such amounts in its final D&O.
Hawaiian Electric filed for a rate increase based on a 2020 test year in August 2019. Hawaii Electric Light filed its 2019 test year rate case in December 2018. Interim rates for Hawaii Electric Light’s 2019 rate case became effective on January 1, 2020, based on an interim order issued in November 2019 maintaining revenues at current effective rates. Final rates for Maui Electric’s 2018 rate case were effective on June 1, 2019 based on ruling in a D&O issued on March 18, 2019. Rates resulting from the March 2019 D&O were lower than what had been allowed in the interim order and Maui Electric refunded approximately $0.5 million to customers in June and July 2019.

The effects of the Tax Act on the Utilities’ regulated operations accrued to the benefit of customers from the effective date of January 1, 2018 and were addressed in the Utilities’ rate cases summarized above. Generally, the lower corporate income tax rate lowers the Utilities’ revenue requirements through lower income tax expense and through the amortization of a regulatory liability for excess accumulated deferred income taxes (ADIT) resulting from the recording of ADIT in prior years at the higher income tax rate. The revenues collected in the first and a portion of the second quarters of 2018 reflected income taxes at the old 35% rate and consequently, the Utilities reduced revenues to the extent the income taxes collected revenue exceeded the taxes accrued at the new 21% rate. This reduction was recorded to a regulatory liability and electric rates were adjusted in the second quarter of 2018 to initiate the return of the 2018 excess to customers over various amortization periods. In addition, rates were adjusted in 2018 to begin returning the excess ADIT that was accumulated as of December 31, 2017. The Tax Act also excludes the Utilities’ asset additions from qualifying for bonus depreciation (except for certain grandfathered utility property), which has the offsetting effect of increasing revenue requirement by lowering ADIT and thereby increasing rate base on a prospective basis.
Performance-based regulation. See “Performance incentive mechanisms” and “Performance-based regulation proceeding” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Developments in renewable energy efforts.  Developments in the Utilities’ efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:
New renewable PPAs.
•In December 2014, the PUC approved a PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy dated October 3, 2013 between Hawaiian Electric and Na Pua Makani Power Partners, LLC (NPM) for a proposed 24-MW wind farm on Oahu. The In August 2020, the project was energized and commissioning of all wind turbines was completed. However, the project was paused due to a conductor deficiency. Hawaiian Electric reconductored the 46kV circuit and in December 2020, the project reached commercial operation.
NPM wind farm was expected to be placed into service by August 31, 2019, butreceived its Incidental Take Permit from the Department of Fish and Wildlife Service on September 7, 2018. Keep the North Shore Country (KNSC) has appealed this decision and the case has been delayed duetransferred to anthe Hawaii Supreme Court. On June 17, 2020, KNSC filed a Motion for Stay Upon Appeal. On August 10, 2020, KNSC’s Motion for Stay Upon Appeal was denied. Oral arguments were held before the court on April 1, 2021, and the case is ready for decision making.
KNSC and Kahuku Community Association (KCA) have also petitioned to appeal NPM’s Conditional Use Permits issued by the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting. On August 6, 2020, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) granted NPM’s Motions to Dismiss the Appeal Petitions of KNSC and KCA. On November 17, 2020, the ZBA dismissed the appeals. On November 24, 2020, KNSC and KCA appealed the dismissal to the circuit court. The circuit court affirmed the ZBA’s dismissal of the appeals on June 30, 2021. On July 1, 2021, KNSC and KCA appealed that decision into the Habitat Conservation Permit contested case. NPM has now received its Habitat Conservation Permit andHawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals where briefing is constructing the project. currently ongoing. The briefing was scheduled to conclude on January 28, 2022.
Life of the Land (LOL) filed a Motion for Relief to argue the PUC’s approval for NPM PPA approval was invalid and should be revised. The UtilitiesHawaiian Electric and the Consumer Advocate filed an opposition to this motion for relief. A hearing on the motion for relief was held on November 22, 2019. The PUC has not yet ruled.
In July 2017, the PUC approved, with certain modifications and conditions, three PPAs for solar energy on Oahu with Waipio PV, LLC for 45.9 MW, Lanikuhana Solar, LLC for 14.7 MW and Kawailoa Solar, LLC for 49.0 MW. The three projects are now owned by Clearway Energy Group LLC, whose controlling investor is Global Infrastructure Partners. On September 19, 2019, Lanikuhana Solar and Waipio PV projects achieved commercial operations. On November 20, 2019, Kawailoa Solar, LLC achieved commercial operations.
In July 2018, the PUC approved Maui Electric’s PPA with Molokai New Energy Partners to purchase solar energy from a PV plus battery storage project. The 4.88 MW project will deliver no more than 2.64 MW at any time to the Molokai system. The project is expected to be in service in 2020.
In November 2018, Hawaiian Electric filed with the PUC a PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy dated October 22, 2018 between Hawaiian Electric and EE Ewa, LLC (Palehua) for a proposed 46.8 MW wind farm on Oahu, subject to PUC approval. On September 6, 2019,April 16, 2020, the PUC issued an order dismissing without prejudice Hawaiian Electric’s applicationdenying LOL’s Motion for Relief. On April 27, 2020, LOL filed a waiverNotice of Appeal of the proposed Palehua wind project fromPUC’s order with the PUC’s framework for competitive bidding and approvalSupreme Court of the PPA. Due toState of Hawaii. In June 2021, the foregoing, the PPA has been declared null and void.Supreme Court denied LOL’s appeal.
•On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (ARPPA), subject to approval by the PUC. 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). On November 2, 2021, the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development of the State of Hawaii (OPSD) sent a letter (November 2nd Letter) to the Honorable Mitch Roth, County of Hawaii, identifying the Planning Department for the County of Hawaii to be the accepting agency and approving authority for any required HEPA review. Shortly thereafter, the PUC lifted the suspension of the docket and stating the docket was ready for decision-making, however, the PUC gave the parties a chance to brief the PUC if they disagreed that the docket was ready for decision-making. On November 15, 2021 Puna Pono Alliance responded alleging that any decision should occur after PGV’s completed supplemental environmental review is available and sent a letter to Mayor Roth questioning OPSD’s authority to issue the November 2nd Letter. On December 8, 2021 Mayor Roth sent a letter to OPSD requesting clarification on OPSD’s determination that the County of Hawaii’s Planning Department is correctly identified as the accepting authority.
•The existing PPA (except for lower-tiered pricing for certainUtilities’ renewable energy dispatched above 30 MW) will remaingoals depend, in effect until it is supersededlarge 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 or have been declared null and void by the ARPPA whenindependent power producers due to a number of issues, including supply chain disruptions caused by impacts from the expanded capacity isCOVID-19 pandemic, solar product detentions at U.S.

unanticipated project costs or in some cases the inability to effectively use previously identified project sites. 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 December 31, 2019,2021, there were approximately 471550 MW, 104117 MW and 118131 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 Metering, Net Energy Metering Plus, Customer Grid Supply, Customer Self Supply, Customer Grid Supply Plus and Interim Smart Export. As of December 31, 2019,2021, an estimated 29%32% of single-family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui have installed private rooftop solar systems, and approximately 18%20% of the Utilities’ total customers have solar systems.   
•The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of December 31, 2019,2021, there were 3443 MW, 3 MW and 56 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 3-yearthree-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 (HIA Facility) and any other generating unit on Oahu, as necessary. The PBT contract became effective on November 1, 2018.2018, 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 recently extended through June 2021.2023. 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 2020,2022, 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 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. The Utilities selected a final award group for Hawaii Island in August 2018 and for Maui and Oahu in September 2018.
InAs of December 2018, the Utilities executed a total of seven renewable generation PPAs utilizing photovoltaic technology paired with a battery storage system for a total of 262MW, of which six PPAs were approved by the PUC in March 2019 and one PPA for Maui Electric is still under PUC review. In February 2019, Hawaiian Electric filed an additional PPA for a proposed 12.5 MW PV plus battery storage project, which was approved by the PUC on August 20, 2019. Summarized31, 2021, summarized information for a total of 8 PPAs including one for Maui Electric that is pending PUC approval, is as follows:

The remaining $4.8 million of total projected annual payments for the remaining PPA is pending PUC approval.
•In continuation of itstheir February 2018 request for proposal process, the Utilities issued itstheir Stage 2 Renewable RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island and Grid Services RFP on August 22, 2019. This procurement plan sought approximately 900 MW of renewable energy, including 594 MW on Oahu, 135 MW on Maui and a range between 32 to 203 MW on Hawaii Island. This second phase, as approved by the PUC, was open to all renewable and storage resources, including efforts to add more renewable generation, renewable plus storage, standalone storage and grid services. The scope of these RFPs has been expanded to accelerate renewable energy procurements beyond the remainder of the 2022 targets identified in Stage 1 to include the energy requirement associated with the planned retirement of the Kahului Power Plant on Maui and the upcoming expiration of the agreement for the AES Hawaii facility on Oahu. For the Grid Services RFP, the targets had been expanded in alignment with the Renewable RFPs.


Utility proposals were submitted on November 4, 2019. Proposals from third parties for these RFPs were submitted on November 5, 2019. Final awards for the renewable projects are scheduled to bewere made inon 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
54

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. As of December 31, 2021, the Utilities had filed 10 PPAs, 2 grid services purchase agreements (GSPA) and 2 applications for commitments of funds for capital expenditures for approval of the utility self-build projects with the PUC. On October 25, 2021, one solar-plus-storage project on Hawaii Island was declared null and void by the developer. On December 6, 2021, one solar-plus-storage project on Oahu was declared null and void by the developer. On January 14, 2022, the Utilities filed an additional solar plus storage PPA for approval for 42 MW of generation and 168 MWh of storage.

As of December 31, 2021, seven projects that have been approved by the PUC remain in development – six solar-plus-storage PPAs (257 MW) and one standalone storage PPA (185 MW). The total projected annual payment of $95.8 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 November 27, 2019, the Utilities issued RFPs for renewable generation paired with energy storage on the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Projects may come online as early as 2022. The Utilities arewere 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,
55

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 and CBRE RFP. On November 22, 2021, CBRE RFPs for Molokai and Lanai were opened. 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.
•    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 February 22, 2022, the PUC sent a letter to the Utilities directing them to develop Stage 3 RFPs for Oahu and Maui. The Utilities are currently being evaluated byevaluating next steps.
•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 are developing the RFP requirements and plan to file a draft RFP in the first quarter of 2022.
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 Lanai RFP has been temporarily postponed, whilePUC subsequently held status conferences on the Utilities’ updates. In April 2021, the PUC issued an Order directing the Utilities reevaluateto establish regulatory liabilities for the system needs.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 expectfiled a Motion for Reconsideration of the entire Order, or in the alternative to issueclarify 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 updateorder 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 full text of the Order, Motion for Reconsideration and request for a Stay of the Order, and clarification Order 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 of renewable energy generation. The financial retirement of the generating units described in the KES Decision and Order is contrary to the Lanaiintent 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 no later than March 10, 2020.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 “Item 1. Business” and Note 3 and “Major tax developments” in Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of lava flows.Fuel contracts. In May 2018, 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 lava eruption occurred withinrequirement contract with no minimum purchases. If PAR Hawaii is unable to provide LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD the Leilani Estates subdivisioncontract allows the Utilities to purchase LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD from another supplier. 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 resulted in the shutdown of independent power producer PGV’s geothermal facilities. The financial impact toPAR Hawaii Electric Light has not been material. In March 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into a Rebuild Agreement,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 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 sets forthhas an effective date of July 15, 2020, on an interim basis. The PUC’s approval order allows the parties’ respective responsibilitiesrecovery of such costs associated with restoration of facilitiesthe 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 reconnectionin the public interest in the final decision, but it will not subject the recovery of the PGV facilitycosts between the interim decision and the final decision to the electric grid.
In June 2019, Hawaii Electric Light filed an application requesting approval to reconstruct the necessary transmission lines. In December 2019, Hawaii Electric Light filed an application for approval of an amended and restated PPA with PGV. See “New renewable PPAs” in the “Developments in renewable energy efforts” section above for additional information on the amended and restated PPA.retroactive disallowances.
Army privatization. On September 27, 2019,October 30, 2020, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric was awarded aElectric’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. Hawaiian Electric will acquire subject to PUC approval, the Army’s existing distribution system for a stated purchase price of $16.3 million, under the approved contract, 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 final purchase price is subject to Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC for approvalcompleting its due diligence and evaluation of the Army privatization contract on October 25, 2019.assets being acquired.
If approved by the PUC in 2020, Hawaiian Electric wouldwill take ownership and all responsibilities for operation and maintenance of the system in late 2021on March 1, 2022 for a 50-year term, which would start after the mutually agreed upona one-year transition period. Under the contract, Hawaiian Electric will make initial capital upgrades over the first six years of the contract and replacementsreplacement of 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 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.
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 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. The contract will automatically renew upon the conclusion of the original term for successive terms of 1 year beginning on January 1, 2023 unless a party gives written termination notice at least 120 days before the beginning of an extension.
The previous fuel contracts with Island Energy Services, LLC, terminated on April 27, 2019, as agreed with IES under a mutual termination and release agreement entered into in November 2018.
The costs incurred under the contract with PAR Hawaii are recovered in the Utilities’ respective ECRCs.
Liquidity and capital resources.  Management believes thatAs of December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding on Hawaiian Electric’s ability,revolving credit facility and that ofunder its subsidiaries, to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities and commercial paper program and draws onthe 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 ongoing 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, 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 December 31, 2021, the total amount of available borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the Utilities’ committed lines of credit is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their respective capital expenditures, investments, debt repayments, retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirementsand cash equivalents was approximately $252 million.
The moratorium on customer disconnections was lifted on May 31, 2021. Starting in the foreseeable future.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.

The maximum amount of external short-term borrowings by Hawaiian Electric during 2019 was $158 million. At December 31, 2019, Hawaiian Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaii Electric Light of $8 million and Maui Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric of $27.7 million, which intercompany borrowings are eliminated in consolidation. In addition to the short-term borrowings above, Hawaiian Electric drew $50 million on December 23, 2019 on a 364-day term loan facility (see Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Hawaiian Electric utilizes short-term debt, typically commercial paper, to support normal operations, to refinance short-term debt and for other temporary requirements. Hawaiian Electric also borrows short-term from HEI for itself and on behalf of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, and Hawaiian Electric may borrow from or loan to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric on a short-term basis. The intercompany borrowings among the Utilities, but not the borrowings from HEI, are eliminated in the consolidation of Hawaiian Electric’s financial statements. The Utilities periodically utilize long-term debt, borrowings of the proceeds of special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) issued by the DBFState of Hawaii Department of Budget and Finance (DBF) and the issuance of privately placed unsecured senior notes bearing taxable interest, to finance the Utilities’ capital improvement projects, or to repay short-term borrowings used to finance such projects. The PUC must approve issuances, if any, of equity and long-term debt securities by the Utilities.
Credit agreement. On April 19, 2021, Hawaiian Electric’s $75 million 364-day revolving credit agreement expired and was not renewed. On May 14, 2021, Hawaiian Electric hasentered into an agreement with a syndicate of nine financial institutions, to amend and restate its previously existing $200 million lineunsecured revolving credit agreement (Hawaiian Electric Facility). As of credit facility withDecember 31, 2021, no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2019.under the facility. 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 from May 13, 2022. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit ratings. Moody’s andOn March 17, 2021, S&P (Rating Agencies) revisedupgraded Hawaiian Electric’s issuer credit rating to “BBB” from “BBB-,” upgraded the short-term and commercial paper ratings to “A-2” from “A-3” and revised the outlook to “positive”stable from “stable” on October 21, 2019 and February 20, 2020, respectively.positive. The revision to the rating outlookupgrade was primarily based on the progress of regulatory reform for the Utilities. The Rating Agencies indicated that future upgrades or downgrades in ratings action are dependent on a variety of factors, including changes in its cash flow from operations ratios and improvements in the regulatory environment, specifically, a credit-supportive decision in the performance-based regulation proceeding. See “Performance-based regulation proceeding” in Note 3Hawaiian Electric’s strong financial measures, strength of the Consolidated Financial Statements.cumulative value of the

regulatory protections, and S&P’s assessment of its stand-alone credit profile as sufficient to rate Hawaiian Electric higher than HEI.
On April 20, 2021, Moody’s upgraded Hawaiian Electric’s senior unsecured rating and issuer rating to “Baa1” from “Baa2” and revised the outlook to stable from positive. The rating upgrade reflects Hawaiian Electric’s considerable progress in adding renewable resources to its energy supply mix and the improving regulatory relationship with the PUC. On June 25, 2021, Fitch affirmed Hawaiian Electric’s “BBB+” long-term issuer default rating, “F2” short-term issuer default rating and stable outlook.

SPRBs. SPRBsSpecial purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) have been issued by the DBFDepartment 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 February 26, 2019, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Electric Light’s request to issue refunding SPRBs prior to December 31, 2020 to refinance their outstanding Series 2009 SPRBs in the amount of up to $90 million and $60 million, respectively. Pursuant to this approval, on July 18, 2019, the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) issued, at par, Refunding Series 2019 SPRBs in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million with a maturity of July 1, 2039. See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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, 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.

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
60

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. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I for further discussion of risks and uncertainties.
Forecast of capital expenditures. For the three-yearfive-year period 20202022 through 2022,2026, the Utilities forecast up to $1.3$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 $1.30 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 20202022 to 20222026 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).


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.

The table above does not include other categories of obligations and commitments, such as deferred taxes, trade payables, amounts that will become payable in future periods under collective bargaining and other employment agreements and employee benefit plans and potential refunds of amounts collected from ratepayers (e.g., under the earnings sharing mechanism). As of December 31, 2019,2021, the fair value of the assets held in trusts to satisfy the obligations of the Utilities’ retirement benefit plans did not exceed the retirement benefit plans’ benefit obligation. Minimum funding requirements for retirement benefit plans have not been included in the table above. See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for retirement benefit plan obligations and estimated contributions for 2020. There were no material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019.2022.

See “Biofuel sources” in the “Developments in renewable energy efforts” section above for additional information for fuel oil purchase obligation. See Notes 3 and 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of power purchase commitments and operating leases obligations, respectively.
Competition.  Although competition in the generation sector in Hawaii is moderated by the scarcity of generation sites, various permitting processes and lack of interconnections to other electric utilities, the PUC has promoted a more competitive electric industry environment through its decisions concerning competitive bidding and distributed generation (DG).generation. An increasing amount of generation is provided by IPPs and customer distributed generation.
Competitive bidding.  In December 2006, the PUC issued a decision that included a final competitive bidding framework, which became effective immediately. The final framework states, among other things, that: (1) a utility is required to use competitive bidding to acquire a future generation resource or a block of generation resources unless the PUC finds bidding to be unsuitable; (2) the framework does not apply in certain situations identified in the framework; (3) waivers from competitive bidding for certain circumstances will be considered; (4) the utility is required to select an independent observer from a list approved by the PUC whenever the utility or its affiliate seeks to advance a project proposal (i.e., in competition with those offered by bidders); (5) the utility may consider its own self-bid proposals in response to generation needs identified in its RFP; and (6) for any resource to which competitive bidding does not apply (due to waiver or exemption), the utility retains its traditional obligation to offer to purchase capacity and energy from a Qualifying Facility (QF) at avoided cost upon reasonable terms and conditions approved by the PUC.
Technological developments.  New emerging and breakthrough technological developments (e.g., the commercial development of long-duration energy storage, grid support utility interactivegrid-forming and black starting inverters fuel cells,in low inertia power systems, microgrids, distributed generation, grid modernization,


electrification of transportation, implement predictive analytics using artificial intelligence machine learning algorithms to help assess the state of health of utility assets and prevent premature failure, and the diversification of generation from renewable sources) may impact the Utilities’ future competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The Utilities continue to seek prudent opportunities to develop, test, pilot, and implement advanced technologies that align with itstheir technical and business plans and will support clean energy and decarbonized goals, while ensuring reliability and resilience as the Utilities adapt to a more reliable, flexible and resilient utility grid.changing climate.
Environmental matters. See “Electric utility—Regulation—Environmental regulation” under “Item 1. Business” and “Environmental regulation” in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments and contingencies. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, and Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of important commitments and contingencies.
Off-balance sheet arrangements. See “Off-balance sheet arrangements” above in HEI Consolidated section.
Material estimates and critical accounting policies.  Also see “Material estimates and critical accounting policies” above in HEI Consolidated section.
Regulatory assets and liabilities. The Utilities are regulated by the PUC. In accordance with accounting standards for regulatory operations, the Company’s and the Utilities’ financial statements reflect assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of the Utilities based on current cost-based rate-making regulations. The actions of regulators, including the PBR Framework, can affect the timing of recognition of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.
Regulatory liabilities represent amounts collected from customers for costs that are expected to be incurred in the future, or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred that are refundable to customers. Regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred because their recovery in future customer rates is probable. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the consolidated regulatory liabilities and regulatory assets of the Utilities amounted to $972$997 million and $715$566 million, respectively, compared to $950$960 million and $833$767 million as of December 31, 2018,2020, respectively. Regulatory liabilities and regulatory assets are itemized in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management continually assesses whether the regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as changes in the applicable regulatory environment. Because current rates include the recovery of regulatory assets existing as of the last rate case and rates in effect allow the Utilities to earn a reasonable rate of return, management believes that the recovery of the regulatory assets as of December 31, 20192021 is probable. This determination assumes continuation of the current political and regulatory climate in Hawaii and is subject to change in the future.
Management believes that the operations of the Utilities, including the impact of the newly approved PBR Framework, currently satisfy the criteria for regulatory accounting. If events or circumstances should change so that those criteria are no longer satisfied, the Utilities expect that their regulatory assets, net of regulatory liabilities, would be charged to the statement of income in the period of discontinuance, which may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s and the Utilities’ results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
62

Revenues. Electric utility revenues are based on rates authorized by the PUC and include revenues applicable to estimated energy consumed in the accounting period, but not yet billed to customers (Unbilled revenues), and RBA revenues or refunds for the difference between PUC-approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues, which delinks revenues from kWh sales. Unbilled revenues represent an estimate of energy consumed by customers subsequent to the date of the last meter reading to the end of the current reporting period. As of December 31, 2019,2021, Unbilled revenues, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to $117$129 million and the RBA refundsrevenue recognized in 20192021 amounted to $11$20 million.
The rate schedules of the Utilities include ECRCs (changed from ECACs in 2019) under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. The rate schedules of the Utilities also include PPACs under which electric rates are more closely aligned with purchase power costs incurred. If the ECRCs, PPACs or RBAs were lost or adversely modified, it could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s and the Utilities’ results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Asset retirement obligations.obligations. The Utilities recognize asset retirement obligations (AROs), which represent theAROs at present value of expected costs to retire long-lived assets from service, provided a legal obligation exists and a reasonable estimate of the fair value and the settlement date can be made. The Utilities’ recognition of AROs have no impact on earnings, as the cost of the AROs are recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by the Utilities relate to legal obligations with the retirement of plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
The Utilities estimate the AROwhich is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that relies on significant estimates and assumptions about future decommissioning costs, inflationary rates, and the estimated date of decommissioning. The estimated future cash flows are discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate to reflect the risk associated with decommissioning the assets. The


Utilities have not recorded AROs for assets that are expected to operate indefinitely or where the Utilities cannot estimate a settlement date (or range of potential settlement dates.) As such, ARO liabilities are not recorded for certain asset retirement activities, including various Utility-owned generating facilities and certain electric transmission, distribution and telecommunication assets resulting from easements over property not owned by the Utilities.
Changes in estimated costs, timing of decommissioning or other assumptions used in the calculation could cause material revision on the recorded liabilities. As of December 31, 20192021 and December 31, 2018,2020, the Utilities’ AROs totaled $10$11.1 million and $8$10.7 million, respectively.

Bank
Executive overview and strategy.  ASB, headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, is a full-service community bank serving both consumer and commercial customers. ASB is one of the largest financial institutions in Hawaii and ended 20192021 with assets of $7.2$9 billion and net income of $89$101 million, compared to assets of $7.0$8 billion and net income of $83$58 million in 2018.2020.

ASB provides a wide range of financial products and services, and in order to remain competitive and continue building core franchise value, ASB is focused on making banking easier for the customer and developing and introducing new products and services in order to meet market needs. Additionally, the banking industry is constantly changing and ASB is making the investments in people and technology necessary to adapt and remain competitive, facilitate process improvements in order to deliver a continuously better experience for its customers, and be a more efficient bank. ASB’s continued focus has been on efficient growth to maximize profitability and capital efficiency, as well as control expenses. The current economic crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic altered the strategies ASB set out to achieve. Key strategies to drive organic growth include:
1.deepening customer relationships;
2.building out product and service offerings to open new segments;
3.fully deploying online and remotely-assisted account opening capabilities; and
4.prioritizing efficiency actions to gain earnings leverage on organic growth.
1.deepening customer relationships through the redesign of branch-centric approaches as transactions and engagement migrate to other channels;
2.building out product and service offerings to open new segments;
3.online and remotely-assisted account opening capabilities as there is a much more rapid and pervasive adoption of online and mobile banking by Hawaii banking customers; and
4.prioritizing efficiency actions to gain earnings leverage on organic growth.
The interest rate environment and the quality of ASB’s assets will continue to influence its financial results. A lowering of interest rates across the yield curve as a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s decreases in short-term interest rates have made it challenging to maintainpandemic’s impact on the economy has negatively affected ASB’s net interest margin.margin and initially impacted credit losses. With the reopening of the economy and government stimulus assistance, asset quality has improved. The potential for further compression of ASB’s net interest margin if interest rates continue to decreaseremain at current low levels is a risk that is actively managed.
As part of its interest rate risk management process, ASB uses simulation analysis to measure net interest income sensitivity to changes in interest rates (see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”). ASB then employs strategies to limit the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. ASB’s key strategies to manage interest rate risk include:
1.attracting and retaining low-cost deposits, particularly those in non-interest bearing transaction accounts;
2.diversifying the loan portfolio with higher-spread, shorter-maturity loans and/or variable rate loans;
3.focusing investment growth in securities that exhibit less extension risk (i.e., risk of longer average lives) as rates rise.

Recent Developments—COVID-19. See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
The Hawaii economy improved significantly in 2021, compared to 2020, due to the impact of stimulus programs and the loosening of business restrictions; however, the Hawaii economy experienced temporary setbacks with increased COVID-19 case counts stemming from the Delta variant in the third quarter of 2021 and the Omicron variant at the end of 2021. Although new daily case counts have continued to rise into early 2022 with a peak in late January, hospitalization rates have remained
63

below rates experienced with the Delta variant, and as a result, the state and counties have not reinstituted the same level of restrictions that were put in place earlier in the pandemic and the Hawaii economy remains largely open for business.
Consistent with the improvement in the Hawaii economy in 2021, the bank’s performance improved in 2021, relative to 2020, with net interest income after provision for credit losses improving to $263.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $182.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by a negative provision for credit losses. Net interest margin declined to 2.91% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 3.29% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The lower net interest margin was driven by the continued low interest rate environment that resulted in new loan origination rates remaining below existing portfolio yields. In addition, a change in the mix of earning assets, with a higher proportion of earning assets composed of investment securities which have a lower yield than the loan portfolio. The growth in the investment portfolio was driven by the growth in deposits, which grew at a faster pace than the loan portfolio resulting in excess liquidity being used to purchase investment securities. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Bank’s net interest margin was 2.79% compared to 2.90% and 3.12% for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the investment securities portfolio increased approximately $900 million, or 41%, as deposit growth of $785 million, or 11%, which included funds from stimulus programs that were provided to individuals and businesses, continued to outpace loan growth. The growth in the investment securities portfolio and fees from the PPP program contributed to higher interest income, partially offsetting the effect of lower loan portfolio balances and earning asset yields on a year-to-date basis.
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 December 31, 2021, approximately $0.6 million of loans remained in their active deferral period. Approximately $9.0 million of loans were not able to resume their contractual payments and were considered delinquent as of December 31, 2021.
ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses in 2021 due to improved credit quality in the commercial, commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios and overall lower net charge offs as a result of an improving economic outlook. For the year ended December 31, 2021, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $25.8 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $50.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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 2021, ASB collected higher fee income compared to 2020 as certain fees were waived during the second and third quarter of 2020 to accommodate the hardships facing its customers. The Bank restarted its normal fee practices in the fourth quarter of 2020 and continued throughout 2021. Noninterest expenses that were considered direct and incremental COVID-19 related costs were lower in 2021 compared to 2020.
In 2021, ASB reopened three branches that were temporarily closed during the start of the pandemic, as digital branches, which provide digital solutions such as full-service ATMs and access to expert bankers through videoconferencing tools while allowing the Bank to have a more efficient physical footprint. 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. The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law on June 5, 2020 and the Economic Aid Act was signed into law on December 27, 2020, which amended some of the prior rules and guidelines of the CARES Act. The Economic Aid Act established a second round of PPP, reopening the PPP for first-time borrowers and allowing for a second draw for businesses that meet more restrictive eligibility criteria to target businesses hardest hit by the pandemic.Loans issued through the PPP are 100% federally guaranteed and have a maturity of 2-5 years, depending on when the loan was made, at a fixed interest rate of 1%. Loan payments will be deferred until the earlier of (a) the date that the forgiven amount is remitted to the lender by the SBA; or (b) 10 months from the date the covered period ends. The SBA will forgive all loan amounts to a particular small business if such small business is compliant with the terms and conditions of the PPP. Small businesses generally have 24 weeks from disbursement of the loan to incur allowable expenses such as payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utility expenses that would be covered by the loan forgiveness rules, with 60% of the loan forgiveness needing to be for payroll costs. Small businesses may receive partial forgiveness if they do not spend the entirety of their PPP loan on eligible expenses, or if less than 60% of the loan disbursement is spent on payroll costs. Employers had until December 31, 2020 to restore their workforce, or,
64

for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020, before the last day of the Covered Period. Lenders processed and approved the PPP loans under delegated authority of the SBA. As an existing SBA certified lender, 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 December 31, 2021 was $69 million.
Other provisions of the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes. See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
ASB continues to maintain its low-risk profile, strong balance sheet and straightforward community banking business model.

(decrease)		Primary reason(s)
Interest income$242 $244 $(2)Lower average earning asset yields and lower average loan portfolio balances partly offset by higher investment security portfolio balances.
Average loan portfolio yields 21 basis points lower - impacted by the continued low interest rate environment as adjustable rate loans had repriced lower during the past year and new loan production yields continue to originate below their portfolio yields.
Average loan portfolio balances decreased $117 million - home equity lines of credit and commercial loan portfolio balances decreased $175 million and $79 million, respectively, primarily due to repayments in the portfolio. Average consumer loans portfolio balance decreased $80 million - primarily due to ASB’s decision to reduce production of this loan product in the current economic environment. Average commercial real estate loans portfolio balance increased $203 million - primarily due to demand for this loan type.
Average investment securities portfolio balance increased $1.3 billion - excess liquidity from strong deposit growth was invested in agency securities
Average investment securities portfolio yield 38 basis points lower - impacted by the continued low interest rate environment as new investment security purchase yields were lower than the investment security portfolio yield.
Noninterest income65 78 (13)Lower mortgage banking income and lower gain on sale of investment securities, partly offset by higher customer fee income and higher bank-owned life insurance income.
Lower gain on sale of investment securities - in 2020, ASB sold all of its Visa Class B restricted shares and recognized a gain of $7.0 million with no similar sales in 2021.
Lower mortgage banking income - lower residential loan sales volume primarily due to ASB’s decision to portfolio a larger portion of its residential loan production in 2021. Loan sale profit margins were lower in 2021 compared to 2020.
Higher customer fee income - in the second and third quarters 2020, ASB waived overdraft and other deposit account fees to accommodate the hardships customers were experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Normal customer fee practices were resumed in the fourth quarter of 2020 and all of 2021.
Higher bank-owned life insurance income - primarily due to higher proceeds from life insurance policies received in 2021 compared to 2020.
Less: gain on sale of investment securities, net(1)(9)8 Gain on sale of investment securities, net, which is included in Noninterest income above and in the Bank’s statements of income and comprehensive income in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, is classified as gain on sale of investment securities, net in the consolidated statements of income, and accordingly, is reflected below following operating income as a separate line item and excluded from Revenues.

 Higher interest income was due to higher average loan portfolio balances and yields, partly offset by a decrease in balances and yields in the investment securities portfolio. ASB’s average loan portfolio balance for 2019 was $231 million higher than 2018’s average loan portfolio balance primarily due to increases in the average HELOC, residential, commercial and consumer loan portfolio balances of $99 million, $59 million, $40 million and $30 million, respectively. The growth in these loan portfolios was consistent with ASB’s portfolio mix targets and loan growth strategy. The 2019 loan portfolio yield increased 5 basis points compared to the prior year loan portfolio yield due to the repricing of adjustable rate loans in the latter part of 2018 and early 2019. The average investment securities portfolio balance decreased by $86 million and the portfolio yield decreased 14 basis points. The decrease in the portfolio balance was due to ASB’s decision to use investment portfolio repayments to fund the growth in the loan portfolio rather than redeploy it into investment securities. The decrease in the investment yields was due to an increase in the amortization of premiums in the investment portfolio.

Provision for credit lossesProvision for credit losses(26)51 (77)Negative provision for credit losses reflects favorable credit trends with continued improvement in the economic environment and a slight shift in loan portfolio composition with growth in the real estate secured portfolio.
Negative provision for credit losses included credit upgrades in the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios.
Negative provision for credit losses was also due to a shift in loan portfolio mix - a decrease in personal unsecured loan portfolio balances which had higher credit loss rates replaced with higher residential and commercial real estate loan portfolio balances with lower credit loss rates. The personal unsecured loan portfolio also experienced improved net charge-off trends.

 Primary reason(s)
Noninterest income 73
 56
 17
 Noninterest income was higher in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to a gain on sale of real estate, an increase in mortgage banking income and higher bank-owned life insurance payouts. ASB sold two office facilities that were no longer needed when ASB moved into its new campus headquarters, which resulted in a gain on sale of real estate of $10.8 million. There were no such sales in 2018. The increase in mortgage banking income was due to an increase in loan sales into the secondary market as a result of higher residential mortgage loan production in 2019 compared to 2018. The higher bank-owned life insurance income was due to higher proceeds from life insurance policies received in 2019 compared to the previous year.
Revenues 339

 The increase in revenues was due to higher interest and noninterest income.
Interest expense 18

 Higher interest expense was primarily due to an increase in term certificate balances and increased deposit rates. Average deposit balances for 2019 increased by $155 million compared to 2018 due to an increase in core deposits and time certificates of $134 million and $21 million, respectively. Average cost of deposits for 2019 was 27 basis points, or 4 basis points above the average cost of deposits for 2018. The other borrowings average balance decreased by $28 million primarily due to a decrease in repurchase agreements. Average cost of other borrowings for 2019 was 1.42%, or 32 basis points above the average cost of borrowings for 2018.
Provision for loan losses 24
 15
 9
 The provision for loan losses for 2019 increased by $8.7 million compared to the provision for loan losses in 2018. The provision for loan losses in 2019 was primarily for additional loss reserves for the consumer and credit scored loan portfolios to cover net charge-offs, and reserves for an impaired commercial credit, partly offset by the release of reserves resulting from recoveries of previously charged-off loans. The provision for loan losses for 2018 was primarily for additional loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio as a result of growth and increased net charge-offs, partly offset by the release of reserves for the commercial, commercial real estate and HELOC loan portfolios as a result of improved credit trends.
2020 provision for credit losses included $39 million of COVID-19 related reserves and loss reserves of $21 million for net charge-offs as well as other changes in loan portfolio composition and asset quality metrics.
Delinquency rates have decreased - from 0.37% at December 31, 2020 to 0.33% at December 31, 2021 due to lower personal unsecured and home equity line of credit loan delinquencies, partly offset by higher residential 1-4 family loan delinquencies.
Net charge-offs to average loans have decreased - from 0.40% at December 31, 2020 to 0.07% at December 31, 2021 due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio net charge-offs.

 Higher noninterest expense was primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefit costs, and increases in occupancy and equipment expenses. The increase in compensation and employee benefits was due to an increase in the minimum pay rate for employees, annual merit increases and higher employee benefit costs. Occupancy and equipment expenses for 2019 included occupancy, depreciation and equipment expenses for the new campus while still including the costs of properties being vacated.Noninterest expense197 191 6 Higher compensation and benefit expenses and data processing expenses were partly offset by lower COVID-19 related costs and lower pension expense.
Higher compensation and benefit expenses - increase in incentive compensation payout for commission based employees, higher performance-based compensation and payment of the separation and release agreement with the former President and Chief Executive Officer.
Higher data processing expenses - due to upgrades in ASB’s technology and data analytics capabilities.
2021 noninterest expense benefited from a one-time credit adjustment for a change in accounting for the ASB retirement plan.
Lower other expenses - 2020 expenses included higher direct and incremental COVID-19 related costs1 to enhance cleaning and sanitation of ASB’s facilities as well as incremental compensation 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. In 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its federal funds rate target range to 0% - 0.25% in response to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decrease in ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin. A prolonged low interest rate environment may continue to negatively impact ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin.
Loan originationsLoans 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. The following table sets forthSee “Loans” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a composition of ASB’s loans held for investment:loan portfolio.
The increase in the loan portfolio balance in 2021 was primarily due to growth in the residential and commercial real estate loan portfolio balances. The growth in the residential loan portfolio balance was due to ASB’s decision to portfolio a larger portion of the residential mortgage loan production and reduce the amount of residential loans sold in the secondary market. The growth in the commercial real estate loan portfolio was due to ASB’s continued effort to diversify its loan portfolio with higher-spread, shorter-maturity loans and/or variable rate loans. The decrease in the commercial loan portfolio was due to paydown of the PPP loans which decreased from $300 million at December 31, 2020 to $69 million at December 31, 2021.

The increase in the loans balance in 20192020 was primarily due to growth in the HELOC, commercial, commercial real estate and residential 1-4 familyHELOC loan portfolios,portfolio balances, which were the portfolios targeted as ASB continued its loan growth strategy of diversifying the loan portfolio with higher-spread, shorter-maturity loans and/or variable rate loans.
The increase in the loans balance in 2018 was primarily due to growth in the HELOC, consumer, commercial and residential 1-4 family loan portfolios, which were portfolios targeted in ASB’s loan growth strategy.
69
The decrease in the loans balance in 2017 was primarily due to decreases in the commercial, commercial real estate, and commercial construction loan portfolios, partly offset by growth in the residential 1-4 family, HELOC, and consumer loan portfolios. The decrease in the commercial loan portfolio was primarily due to the strategic reductions in the portfolio, including a $75 million reduction in ASB’s nationally syndicated loan portfolio. The decrease in the commercial real estate loan portfolio was primarily due to paydown of a large commercial real estate credit. The growth in the residential 1-4 family, HELOC and consumer loan portfolios were consistent with ASB’s loan growth strategy.

The increase in the loans balance in 2016 was primarily due to growth in the commercial real estate, consumer, commercial construction and HELOC loan portfolios as a result of demand for these loan types, partly offset by a decrease in the commercial and residential 1-4 family loan portfolios. The growth in the commercial real estate, consumer, commercial construction and HELOC loan portfolios was consistent with ASB’s loan growth strategy. The decrease in the commercial loan portfolio was due to the strategic reduction of ASB’s nationally syndicated loan portfolio by $93 million. The decrease in the residential loan portfolio was due to ASB’s decision to sell a portion of its loan production with low interest rates to control its interest rate risk.
The increase in the loans balance in 2015 was primarily due to growth in commercial real estate, HELOC and residential 1-4 family loan portfolios, partly offset by a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio. The growth in the commercial real estate, HELOC and residential loan portfolios was driven by demand for this loan type and was consistent with ASB’s loan growth strategy.

Home equity — keylines of credit. The home equity lines of credit statistics. (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 December 31, 2021, approximately 36% 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.

Attention hashad been given by regulators and rating agencies to the potential for increased exposure to credit losses associated with HELOCs that were originated during the period of rapid home price appreciation between 2003 and 2007 as they have reached the end of their 10-year, interest-only payment periods. Once the interest only payment period has ended, payments are reset to include principal repayments along with interest. ASB does not have a large exposure to HELOCs originated between 2003 and 2007. Nearly all of ASB’s HELOC originations prior to 2008 consisted of amortizing equity lines that have structured principal payments during the draw period. These older equity lines represent 1% of the HELOC portfolio and are included in the amortizing balances identified in the loan portfolio table below.portfolio.

The HELOC portfolio makes up 21% 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. This product type comprises 76% of the total HELOC portfolio and is the current product offering. 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 December 31, 2019, approximately 23% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the Fixed Rate Loan Option.
Loan portfolio risk elements. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan and does not cure the delinquency promptly, the loan is classified as delinquent. If delinquencies are not cured promptly, ASB normally commences a collection action, including foreclosure proceedings in the case of real estate secured loans. In a foreclosure action, the property collateralizing the delinquent debt is sold at a public auction in which ASB may participate as a bidder to protect its interest. If
70

ASB is the successful bidder, the property is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, ASB had nil and $0.1 million, respectively, of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.
In addition to delinquent loans, other significant lending risk elements include: (1) loans which accrue interest and are 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, (2) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis (nonaccrual loans), and (3) loans on which various concessions are made with respect to interest rate, maturity, or other terms due to the inability of the borrower to service the obligation under the original terms of the agreement (troubled debt restructured loans). ASB loans that were 90 days or


more past due on which interest was being accrued as of December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, 20162021 and 20152020 were immaterial or nil. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to nonaccrual and troubled debt restructured (TDR) loans:

In 2019,2021, nonaccrual loans increaseddecreased $2.4 million primarily due to increasesdecreases in commercial real estate, commercial, consumer and consumerHELOC nonaccrual loans of $1.7$3.4 million, $3.0 million, $2.1 million and $0.9$1.8 million, respectively. ASB evaluates a restructured loan transactionrespectively, partly offset by an increase in residential 1-4 family nonaccrual loans of $7.9 million. The increase in residential nonaccrual loans was attributed to determine if the borrower is in financial difficulty and if the restructured terms are considered concessions—typically termscustomers that are out of market, beyond normal or reasonable standards, or otherwisecould not available to a non-troubled borrower in the normal marketplace. A loan classified as TDR must meet both criteria of financial difficulty and concession. Accruing TDRresume contractual payments after their deferral period was completed.
In 2020, nonaccrual loans increased by $0.5$17.7 million primarily due to increases of $1.1 million and $1.0 million ofan increase in commercial and residential land loans, respectively, classified as TDR, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in HELOC loans classified as TDR.
In 2018, nonaccrual loans increased $3.7 million primarily due to increases in HELOC, consumer, and commercialreal estate nonaccrual loans of $1.9 million, $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Accruing TDR loans increased by $5.1 million primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in HELOC loans classified as TDR.
In 2017, nonaccrual loans increased slightly by $0.3 million primarily due to higher nonaccrual residential 1-4 family, HELOC and consumer loans of $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Nonaccrual commercial loans decreased by $3.6$18.5 million. Accruing TDR loans decreased by $16.8 million in 2017 primarily due to decreases of $12.4 million, $3.5 million, and $2.3 million of commercial, residential 1-4 family, and residential land loans, respectively, classified as TDRs.
In 2016, nonaccrual loans decreased $22.7 million primarily due to upgrades of specific commercial and commercial real estate loans, payoff of a troubled commercial loan and a segment of residential mortgages transferred to held-for-sale. Nonaccrual commercial and residential loans decreased by $13.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Accruing TDR loans increased $15.4 million in 2016 primarily due to increases of $13.0 million and $2.5 million of commercial and HELOC loans, respectively, classified as TDR. The increase in commercial real estate nonaccrual loans classified as TDR was primarily dueattributed to twoone commercial credits being classified as TDR.credit.


Impact of nonperforming loans on interest income. The following table presents the gross interest income for both nonaccrual and restructured loans that would have been recognized if such loans had been current in accordance with their original contractual terms, and had been outstanding throughout the period or since origination if held for only part of the period. The table also presents the interest income related to these loans that was actually recognized for the period.

Allowance for loancredit losses. See “Allowance for loancredit losses” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the tables which sets forth the allocation of ASB’s allowance for loancredit losses. Using an effective date ofOn January 1, 2020, ASB will adoptadopted ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Measurement of Current Expected Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which will modifymodifying the accounting for the allowance for loancredit losses from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model (see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The following table presents With the changes inadoption of ASU 2016-13, ASB added $19.4 million to the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2020. During 2021, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses related to the allowance for credit losses of $26.4 million primarily due to decreased reserves for the commercial real estate, commercial and consumer loan losses:portfolios for improved credit quality in those loan portfolios and a lower personal unsecured loan portfolio balance, which has a higher loss rate than other loan portfolios. During 2020, ASB recorded a provision for credit losses related to the allowance for credit losses of $49.8 million primarily due to increased reserves for the commercial, commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios for expected credit deterioration due to the COVID-19 pandemic and additional loss reserves to cover net loan charge-offs.

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. With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, ASB added $1.6 million to the reserve for unfunded loan commitments on January 1, 2020. For 2021 and 2020, ASB recorded a provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $4.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

In 2019,2021, ASB’s allowance for credit losses decreased by $30.1 million primarily due to decreases in loan loss reserves for the commercial real estate, commercial and consumer loan portfolios for improved credit quality. The decrease in the consumer loan portfolio was also due to the decrease in the personal unsecured loan portfolio outstanding balance. Total delinquencies of $17.2 million at December 31, 2021 was a decrease of $2.4 million compared to total delinquencies of $19.6 million at December 31, 2020 primarily due to decreases in delinquent consumer, HELOC and residential land loans, partly offset by an increase in residential 1-4 family delinquent loans. The ratio of delinquent loans to total loans decreased from 0.37% of total outstanding loans at December 31, 2020 to 0.33% of total outstanding loans at December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs for 2021 were $3.6 million, a decrease of $17.8 million compared to $21.4 million in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in consumer loan portfolio net charge-offs.
In 2020, ASB’s allowance for credit losses increased by $1.2$47.8 million primarily due to an increase in loan loss reserves for the commercial, commercial real estate and HELOCconsumer loan portfolios asfor expected credit deterioration due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13. Total delinquencies of $19.6 million at December 31, 2020 was a resultdecrease of loan growth in those loan portfolios. Total$0.2 million compared to total delinquencies of $19.8 million at December 31, 2019 was a decrease of $6.2 million compared to total delinquencies of $26.0 million at December 31, 2018 primarily due to decreases in delinquent consumer loans, partly offset by an increase in residential 1-4 family and HELOCdelinquent loans. The ratio of delinquent loans to total loans decreased from 0.54% of total outstanding loans at December 31, 2018 to 0.39% of total outstanding loans at December 31, 2019. Net charge-offs for 2019 were $22.2 million, an increase of $5.9 million compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2018 primarily due to an increase in consumer loan portfolio charge-offs as result of ASB’s unsecured consumer loan portfolio product offering with risk-based pricing and net charge-offs for an impaired commercial credit. ASB’s provision for loan losses was $23.5 million, an increase of $8.7 million compared to the provision for loan losses of $14.7 million for 2018. The increase was due to additional reserves for the consumer and credit scored loan portfolios, and an impaired commercial credit.
In 2018, ASB’s allowance for loan losses decreased by $1.5 million primarily due to lower loan loss reserves required for the commercial, commercial construction, commercial real estate and HELOC loan portfolios as a result of improving credit trends, partly offset by additional loan loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio. Total delinquencies of $26.0 million at December 31, 2018 was an increase of $2.4 million compared to total delinquencies of $23.6 million at December 31, 2017 primarily due to increases in delinquent consumer, HELOC and residential 1-4 family loans, partly offset by decreases in delinquent commercial loans.

ASB’s


provision for loan losses was $14.7 million, an increase of $3.8 million compared to the provision for loan losses of $10.9 million for 2017. The increase was due to additional reserves for the consumer loan portfolio, partly offset by lower reserves required for the commercial, commercial construction, commercial real estate and HELOC loan portfolios as result of improved credit quality in those loan portfolios.
In 2017, ASB’s allowance for loan losses decreased by $1.9 million primarily due to lower loan loss reserves required for the commercial, commercial construction, and commercial real estate loan portfolios as a result of a decrease in the portfolio balances and improving credit trends, partly offset by additional loan loss reserves for the consumer and HELOC loan portfolios. Total delinquencies of $23.6 million at December 31, 2017 was a slight increase of $0.5 million compared to total delinquencies of $23.1 million at December 31, 2016 primarily due to increases in delinquent commercial and consumer loans, offset by decreases in delinquent residential 1-4 family and commercial real estate loans. The ratio of delinquent loans to total loans increased slightly from 0.49% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2016 to 0.51% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2017. Net charge-offs for 2017 were $12.8 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to $11.3 million for 2016 primarily due to an increase in consumer loan portfolio charge-offs as a result of the strategic expansion of ASB’s unsecured consumer loan product offering with risk-based pricing. ASB’s provision for loan losses was $10.9 million, a decrease of $5.9 million compared to the provision for loan losses of $16.8 million for 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the release of reserves for commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios due to lower outstanding balances and improved credit quality, partly offset by an increase in loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio.
In 2016, ASB’s allowance for loan losses increased by $5.5 million primarily due to growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios and increases in reserves for the commercial real estate and unsecured consumer loan portfolios. Total delinquencies of $23.1 million at December 31, 2016 was $3.0 million lower than total delinquencies of $26.1 million at December 31, 2015 primarily due to the movement of $6 million of residential loans to held-for-sale. The ratio of delinquent loans to total loans decreased from 0.57% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2015 to 0.49% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2016. Net charge-offs for 2016 were $11.3 million, an increase of $9.4 million compared to $1.9 million for 2015 primarily due to charge-offs of specific commercial loans and an increase in consumer loan charge-offs as a result of the strategic expansion of ASB’s unsecured consumer loan product offering with risk-based pricing. ASB’s provision for loan losses was $16.8 million for 2016, an increase of $10.5 million compared to the provision for loan losses of $6.3 million for 2015. The increase in provision for loan losses was driven by growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios as well as specific reserves for a few commercial loans.
In 2015, ASB’s allowance for loan losses increased by $4.4 million primarily due to growth in the commercial real estate loan portfolio ($159 million or 29.8% growth in outstanding balances) and increases in reserves for commercial loans. Overall loan quality remained strong as total delinquencies of $26.1 million at December 31, 2015 was a slight increase of $0.6 million compared to total delinquencies of $25.5 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to an increase in delinquent consumer loans. The ratio of delinquent loans to total loans decreased slightly from 0.58% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 to 0.57% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2015. Net charge-offs for 2015 were $1.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to $0.6 million for 2014 primarily due to an increase in consumer loan charge-offs as result of the strategic expansion of ASB’s unsecured consumer loan product offering with risk-based pricing.

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). The weighted-average yield on investments during 2021, 2020 and 2019 2018was 1.52%, 1.90% and 2017 was 2.27%, 2.41% and 2.18%, respectively. ASB did not maintain a portfolio of securities held for trading during 2019, 20182021 and 2017.


2020.
As of December 31, 2019, 20182021 and 2017,2020, ASB had $139.5 million, $141.9$522.3 million and $44.5$226.9 million, respectively, of investment securities that were purchased and classified as held-to-maturity. The investment securities were classified as held-to-maturity to enhance ASB’s capital management in a rising rate environment. ASB considers the held-to-maturity classification of these investment securities to be appropriate as ASB has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
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
72

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 agency mortgage-backed and credit securities corporate bonds, and a mortgage revenue bond with excess liquidity.
The net unrealized gains and losses on ASB’s investment securities were primarily caused by movements in interest rates. All contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Based upon ASB’s evaluation at December 31, 2019, 2018,2021 and 20172020, there was no indicated impairment as ASB expects to collect the contractual cash flows for these investments. See “Investment securities” in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of securities impairment assessment.
As of December 31, 2019, 2018,2021 and 2017,2020, ASB did not have any private-issue mortgage-backed securities. ASB does not have any exposure to securities backed by subprime mortgages. See “Investment securities” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of other-than-temporarily impaired securities.the allowance for credit losses for the investment securities portfolio.
The following table summarizes the current amortized cost of ASB’s investment portfolio (excluding stock of the FHLB of Des Moines, which has no contractual maturity) and weighted average yields as of December 31, 2019.2021. Mortgage-backed securities are shown separately because they are typically paid in monthly installments over a number of years.

Stock in FHLB. As of December 31, 2019, 20182021 and 2017,2020, ASB’s stock in FHLB of Des Moines ($8 million, $10 million and $10$9 million, respectively)respectively, was carried at cost because it can only be redeemed at par. The amount that ASB is required to invest in FHLB stock is determined by FHLB requirements. In 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, ASB received cash dividends of $349,000, $350,000$327,000, $306,000 and $208,000,$349,000, respectively, on its FHLB Stock.
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 $1.1 billion in 2020 in part due to PPP loan proceeds and consumer economic impact payments from the CARES Act stimulus program, 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 December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 98%99% deposits and 2% other borrowings.1% borrowings..
ASB’s deposits are obtained primarily from residents of Hawaii. Net deposit inflow or outflow, measured as the year-over-year difference in year-end deposits, was an inflow of $113$785 million in 2019,2021, compared to an inflow of $268 million$1.1 billion in 2018 and $342 million in 2017.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, ASB had approximately $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, of deposits that were uninsured.
Other borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchases. See “Other borrowings” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. ASB may obtain advances from the FHLB of Des Moines provided that certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of certain notes held by ASB and the mortgages securing them. To the extent that advances exceed the amount of mortgage loan
73

collateral pledged to the FHLB of Des Moines, the excess must be covered by qualified marketable securities held under the control of and at the FHLB of Des Moines or at an approved third-party custodian. FHLB advances generally are available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts, to expand lending and to assist in the effort to improve asset and liability management. FHLB advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs offered from time to time by the FHLB of Des Moines. 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 consolidated balance sheets. ASB pledges investment securities as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase. All such agreements are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide for conditional right of set-off in case of default by either party; however, ASB presents securities sold under agreements to repurchase on a gross basis in the balance sheet.
The decreases in other borrowings in 2021 and 2020 were due to decreases in business repurchase agreements. The increase in other borrowings in 2019 was due to an increase in business repurchase agreements, partly offset by the payoff of FHLB advances.
The decrease in other borrowings in 2018 was due to the payoff of a maturing FHLB advance and a decrease in business repurchase agreements. The decrease in other borrowings in 2017 was due to the payoff of a maturing FHLB advance, offset by an increase in business repurchase agreements.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines was $2.3$2.0 billion. The FHLB of Des Moines continues to be an important source of liquidity for ASB. See “Liquidity and capital resources” below for changes in the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines.
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.


As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB had an unrealized gain,loss, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCIaccumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $2.5$32.0 million compared to an unrealized loss,gain, net of taxes, of $24.4$20.0 million as of December 31, 2018.2020. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
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.” Also see “Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Assessment”assessment” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).  Regulation of the financial services industry, including regulation of HEI, ASB Hawaii and ASB, has changed and will continue to change as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in July 2010. Importantly for HEI, ASB Hawaii and ASB, under the Dodd-Frank Act all of the functions of the OTS transferred on July 21, 2011 to the OCC, the FDIC, the FRB and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau). Supervision and regulation of HEI and ASB Hawaii, as thrift holding companies, moved to the FRB, and supervision and regulation of ASB, as a federally chartered savings bank, moved to the OCC. While the laws and regulations applicable to HEI and ASB did not generally change, the applicable laws and regulations are being interpreted, and new and amended regulations may be adopted, by the FRB, the OCC and the Bureau. In addition, HEI will continue to be required to serve as a source of strength to ASB in the event of its financial distress. The Dodd-Frank Act also imposed new restrictions on the ability of a savings bank to pay dividends should it fail to remain a qualified thrift lender. At all times during 2019, ASB was a qualified thrift lender.
ASB may also be subject to new state regulation because of a provision in the Dodd-Frank Act that acknowledges that a federal savings bank may be subject to state regulation and allows federal law to preempt a state consumer financial law on a “case by case” basis only when (1) the state law would have a discriminatory effect on the bank compared to that on a bank chartered in that state, (2) the state law prevents or significantly interferes with a bank’s exercise of its power or (3) the state law is preempted by another federal law.
Final Capital Rules.  On July 2, 2013, the FRB finalized its rule implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The final rule would applyrules applied to banking organizations of all sizes and types regulated by the FRB and the OCC, except bank holding companies subject to the FRB’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and Savings & Loan Holding Companies (SLHCs) substantially engaged in insurance underwriting or commercial activities. HEI currently meets the requirements of the exemption as a top-tier grandfathered unitary SLHC that derived, as of June 30 of the previous calendar year, either 50% or more of its total consolidated assets or 50% or more of its total revenues on an enterprise-wide basis (calculated under GAAP) from activities that are not financial in nature pursuant to Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act. The FRB is temporarily excluding these SLHCs from the final rule while it considers a proposal relating to capital and other requirements for SLHC intermediate holding companies (such as ASB Hawaii). The FRB indicated that it would release a proposal on intermediate holding companies that would specify the criteria for establishing and transferring activities to intermediate holding companies and propose to apply the FRB’s capital requirements to such intermediate holding companies. The FRB has not yet issued such a proposal, or a proposal on how to apply the Basel III capital rules to SLHCs that are substantially engaged in commercial or insurance underwriting activities, such as grandfathered unitary SLHCs like HEI.
Pursuant to the final rule and consistent with the proposals, all banking organizations, including covered holding companies, would initially be subject to the following minimum regulatory capital requirements: a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%, a total capital ratio of 8% of risk-weighted assets and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%, and these requirements would increase in subsequent years. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, the final rule requires a banking organization to hold a buffer of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets (capital conservation buffer). In addition, a countercyclical capital buffer would expand the capital conservation buffer by up to 2.5% of a banking organization’s total risk-weighted assets for advanced approaches banking organizations. The final rule would establish qualification criteria for common equity, additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments that help to ensure their ability to absorb losses. All banking organizations would be required to calculate risk-weighted assets under the standardized approach, which harmonizes the banking agencies’ calculation of risk-weighted assets and addresses shortcomings in capital requirements identified by the agencies. The phased-in effective dates of the capital requirements under the final rule are:


Minimum Capital Requirements
Effective dates 1/1/2015 1/1/2016 1/1/2017 1/1/2018 1/1/2019
Capital conservation buffer

Common equity Tier 1 ratio + conservation buffer 4.50% 5.125% 5.75% 6.375% 7.00%
Tier 1 capital ratio + conservation buffer 6.00% 6.625% 7.25% 7.875% 8.50%
Total capital ratio + conservation buffer 8.00% 8.625% 9.25% 9.875% 10.50%
Tier 1 leverage ratio 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% 4.00%
Countercyclical capital buffer — not applicable to ASB  
 0.625% 1.25% 1.875% 2.50%
The final rule was effective January 1, 2015 for ASB. As of December 31, 2019, ASB met the new capital requirements with a Common equity Tier-1 ratio of 13.2%, a Tier-1 capital ratio of 13.2%, a Total capital ratio of 14.3% and a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 9.1%.
Subject to the timing and final outcome of the FRB’s SLHC intermediate holding company proposal, HEI anticipates that the capital requirements in the final rule will eventually be effective for HEI or ASB Hawaii as well. If the fully phased-in capital requirements were currently applicable to HEI, management believes HEI would satisfy the capital requirements, including the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer. Management cannot predict what final rule the FRB may adopt concerning intermediate holding companies or their impact on ASB Hawaii, if any.

Covered Savings Associations.
On May 24, 2019,
In the OCC issued a final rule to allow federal savings associations with total consolidated assetssecond quarter of $20 billion or less, as reported by2020, ASB had adopted the associationcommunity bank leverage ratio framework and was only subject to the OCC on its call reportTier 1 leverage ratio requirement. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, ASB began reporting all of the required capital ratios as the Bank did not meet the requirements of the community bank leverage ratio framework.

It is subjectchanges to the same duties, restrictions, penalties, liabilities, conditions, and limitations that apply to a nationalcommunity bank with some exceptions, and must comply with certain rules and regulations applicable to the powers and investments of a national bank. A covered savings association is not required to comply with the lending and investment limits in HOLA and is not required to be a qualified thrift lender under HOLA. Finally, a covered savings association is not permitted to retain or engage in any subsidiaries, assets, or activities that are not permissible for a national bank. ASB has initiated a preliminary examination of the benefits and disadvantages of such an election with the preservation of being held by a unitary thrift holding company in mind. ASB is awaiting official FRB commentary, and has not reached a decision on the election.leverage ratio framework.

As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB was one of Hawaii’s largest financial institutions based on assets of $7.2$9.2 billion and deposits of $6.3$8.2 billion.
ASB’s principal sources of liquidity are customer deposits, borrowings and the maturity and repayment of portfolio loans and securities. The Bank’s liquidity remains at satisfactory levels as deposits continued to grow substantially which enabled ASB to fund its loan production and purchase investment securities with low cost funding. ASB’s deposits as of December 31, 20192021 were $113$785 million higher than December 31, 2018.2020. ASB’s sources of borrowings include advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase from broker/dealers and commercial account holders. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB had no FHLB borrowings outstanding. ASB is approved to borrow from the FHLB up to 35% of ASB’s assets to the extent it provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.3 billion with no FHLB borrowings outstanding. In February 2020, the FHLB of Des Moines notified ASB that certain assets would no longer qualify as collateral for FHLB advances, reducing ASB's total FHLB borrowing capacity to approximately $1.5$2.0 billion. The notice included high-quality home equity lines of credit and was technical in nature and unrelated to the credit quality of the home equity loans, of which approximately 54% are in first lien position. ASB is working with the FHLB to understand the nature of the disqualification of those assets as collateral and re-establishing eligibility. Although the reduction in borrowing capacity will not impact ASB’s operations, ASB is evaluating other assets to pledge as collateral to increase its reserve borrowing capacity with the FHLB. Over the past 10 years, the maximum amount outstanding as of any quarter end was $110 million.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $115$88 million, representing 1.6%1.0% of assets.
ASB utilizes deposits, advances from the


FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to fund maturing and withdrawn deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and purchase investment and mortgage-backed securities. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB had commitments to borrowers for loans and unused lines and letters of credit of $1.9 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.
As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, ASB had $29.7$45.0 million and $27.3$47.4 million of loans on nonaccrual status, respectively, or 0.6%0.9% and 0.9%, respectively, of net loans outstanding. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, ASB had nil and $0.4 million, respectively, of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.
In 2019,2021, operating activities provided cash of $110$115 million. Net cash of $120$881 million was used by investing activities primarily due to a net increase in loans receivable of $300 million, purchases of available-for-sale investment securities of $108 million, capital expenditures of $24 million,$1.5 billion, purchases of held-to-maturity investment securities of $13$350 million, contributions to low-income housing investments of $7$16 million, and purchases of bank ownedbank-owned life insurance of $4$13 million and additions to premises and equipment of $11 million, partly offset by receipt of repayments from available-for-sale investment securities of $273 million, proceeds from the sale of real estate of $21$583 million, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale investment securities of $20$197 million, net decrease in loans receivable of $72 million, proceeds from sale of residential loans of $60 million, repayments from held-to-maturity investment securities of $16$54 million and proceeds from the redemption of bank ownedbank-owned life insurance of $6 million. Financing activities provided net cash of $62$725 million primarily due to a net increase in deposits of $113 million and a net increase in retail repurchase agreements of $50$785 million, partly offset by a net decrease in FHLB advancesrepurchase agreements of $45$1 million and common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii) of $56$59 million.
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 December 31, 2019,2021, ASB was well-capitalized (see Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for ASB’s capital ratios).

Material estimates and critical accounting policies.  Also see “Material estimates and critical accounting policies” for Consolidated HEI above.
Allowance for loancredit losses.  The Company considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses as critical to the financial statement presentation. The allowance for credit losses applies to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to loans, loan commitments and held-to-maturity securities. In addition, the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration were amended. The other-than-temporary impairment model of accounting for credit losses on AFS debt securities was replaced with an estimate of expected credit losses only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The credit loss models use a probability-of-default, loss given default and exposure at default methodology to estimate the expected credit losses. Within each model or calculation, loans are further segregated based on additional risk characteristics specific to that loan type, such as risk rating, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score, bankruptcy score, age of loan and collateral. The Company uses both internal and external historical data, as appropriate, and a blend of economic forecasts to estimate credit losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period and then reverts to a longer-term historical loss experience to arrive at lifetime expected credit losses. The reversion period incorporates forward-looking expectations about repayments (including prepayments) as determined by the Company’s asset liability management system. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements andfor further discussion of the discussion above under “Earning assets, costing liabilities and other factors.” ASB maintains anCompany’s allowance for loan losses believed to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio. The level of allowance for loan losses is based on a continuing assessment of existing risks in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, changes in collateral values and current conditions (for example, economic conditions, real estate market conditions and interest rate environment). The allowance for loan losses is allocated to loan types using both a formula-based approach applied to groups of loans and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment. The formula-based approach emphasizes loss factors primarily derived from actual historical default and loss rates, which are combined with an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine the allowance amounts allocated to the various loan categories. Adverse changes in any of these factors could result in higher charge-offs and provision for loancredit losses.
ASB disaggregates the loan portfolio into loan segments for purposes of determining the allowance for loancredit losses. Commercial, commercial real estate, and commercial construction loans are defined as non-homogeneous loans. ASB utilizes a risk rating system for evaluating the credit quality of such loans. Loans are rated based on the degree of risk at origination and periodically thereafter, as appropriate. Values are applied separately to the probability of default (borrower risk) and loss given default (transaction risk). ASB utilizes a numerical-based, risk rating “PD Model” that takes into consideration fiscal year-end financial information of the borrower and identified financial attributes including retained earnings, operating cash flows, interest coverage, liquidity and leverage that demonstrate a strong correlation with default to assign default probabilities at the borrower level. In addition, a loss given default value is assigned to each loan to measure loss in the event of default based on loan specific features such as collateral that mitigates the amount of loss in the event of default. Together the PD Model and loss given default construct provide a quantitative, data driven and consistent framework for measuring risk within the portfolio, on a loan by loan basis and for the ultimate collectability of each loan.
Residential, consumer and credit scored business loans are considered homogeneous loans, which are typically underwritten based on common, uniform standards. For the homogeneous portfolio, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. ASB supplements performance data with external credit bureau data and credit scores


such as the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO)FICO score on a quarterly basis. ASB has built portfolio loss models for each major segment based on the combination of internal and external data to predict the probability of default at the loan level.
ASB also considers qualitative factors in determining the allowance for loancredit losses. These include but are not limited to adjustments for changes in policies and procedures in underwriting, monitoring or collections, economic conditions, portfolio mix, lending and risk management personnel, results of internal audit and quality control reviews, collateral values and any concentrations of credit.
The reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probablecover expected losses related to unfunded credit facilities and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based upon an evaluation of the unfunded credit facilities, including an assessment of historical commitment utilization experience, credit risk grading and historical loss rates. This process takes into consideration the same risk elements that are analyzed in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loancredit losses, as discussed above. Net adjustments to the reserve for unfunded commitments are included in other noninterest expensethe provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.
Management believes its allowance for credit losses is adequate to cover expected credit losses in the loan losses adequately estimates actual loan losses that will ultimately be incurred.portfolio. However, such estimates are based on currently available information and historical experience, and future adjustments may be required from time to time to the allowance for loancredit losses based on new information and changes that occur (e.g., due to changes in economic conditions, particularly in Hawaii). Actual losses could differ from management’s estimates, and these differences and subsequent adjustments could be material.

Fair value. Fair value estimates are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent third party sources. However, in certain cases, ASB uses its own assumptions based on the best information available in certain circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if ASB were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of its financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.
ASB classifies its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with the three-level valuation hierarchy. Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices, unadjusted for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 valuations are based on model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market or significant management judgment or estimation. See “Fair value measurements” in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Significant assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include ASB’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale. These instruments are priced using an external pricing service and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The third-party pricing services use a variety of methods to determine fair value including 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 compares 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 the investment manager 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.
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate certain assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of nonrecurring uses of fair value include mortgage servicing rights accounted for by the amortization method, loan impairments for certain loans, real estate acquired in settlement of loans and goodwill.
See “Investment securities” and “Derivative financial instruments” in Note 4 and Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding ASB’s fair value measurements.

ITEM 7A.ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
HEI and Hawaiian Electric (in the case of Hawaiian Electric, only the information related to Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries is applicable):
The Company manages various market risks in the ordinary course of business, including credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company believes the electric utility and the “other” segment’s exposures to these two risks were not material as of December 31, 2019.2021.
Credit risk for ASB is the risk that borrowers or issuers of securities will not be able to repay their obligations to the bank.Bank. Credit risk associated with ASB’s lending portfolios is controlled through its underwriting standards, loan rating of commercial and commercial real estate loans, on-going monitoring by loan officers, credit review and quality control functions in these lending areas and adequate allowance for loancredit losses. Credit risk associated with the securities portfolio is mitigated through investment portfolio limits, experienced staff working with analytical tools, monthly fair value analysis and on-going monitoring and reporting such as investment watch reports and loss sensitivity analysis. See “Allowance for loancredit losses” in Item 7 above and in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity risk for ASB is the risk that the bankBank will not meet its obligations when they become due. Liquidity risk is mitigated by ASB’s asset/liability management process, on-going analytical analysis, monitoring and reporting information such as weekly cash-flow analyses and maintenance of liquidity contingency plans.
77

The Utilities are exposed to some commodity price risk primarily related to their fuel supply and IPP contracts. The Utilities’ commodity price risk is substantially mitigated so long as they have their current ECRCs in their rate schedules. The Utilities currently have no hedges against its commodity price risk.
The Company currently has no direct exposure to market risk from trading activities nor foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The Company considers interest rate risk to be a very significant market risk as it could potentially have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, especially as it relates to ASB, but also as it may affect the discount rate used to determine retirement benefit liabilities and minimum contributions, the market value of retirement benefit plans’ assets, borrowing costs and the Utilities’ allowed rates of return. Interest rate risk can be defined as the exposure of the Company’s earnings to adverse movements in interest rates.
Bank interest rate risk
The Company’s success is dependent, in part, upon ASB’s ability to manage interest rate risk (IRR).risk. ASB’s interest-rate risk profile is strongly influenced by its primary business of making fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and taking in retail deposits. Large mismatches in the amounts or timing between the maturity or repricing of interest sensitive assets or liabilities could adversely affect ASB’s earnings and the market value of its interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in the event of significant changes in the level of interest rates. Many other factors also affect ASB’s exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences and competition for loans or deposits.
ASB’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), whose voting members are officers and employees of ASB, is responsible for managing interest rate risk and carrying out the overall asset/liability management objectives and activities of ASB as approved by the ASB Board of Directors. ALCO establishes policies under which management monitors and coordinates ASB’s assets and liabilities.
See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the use of rate lock commitments on loans held for sale and forward sale contracts to manage some interest rate risk associated with ASB’s residential loan sale program.
Management of ASB measures interest-rate risk using simulation analysis with an emphasis on measuring changes in net interest income (NII) and the market value of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in different interest-rate environments. The simulation analysis is performed using a dedicated asset/liability management software system enhanced with a mortgage prepayment model and a collateralized mortgage obligation database. The simulation software is capable of generating scenario-specific cash flows for all instruments using the specified contractual information for each instrument and product specific prepayment assumptions for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities.
NII sensitivity analysis measures the change in ASB’s twelve-month, pretax NII in alternate interest rate scenarios. NII sensitivity is measured as the change in NII in the alternate interest-rate scenarios as a percentage of the base case NII. The base case interest-rate scenario is established using the current yield curve and assumes interest rates remain constant over the next


twelve months. The alternate scenarios are created by assuming “rate ramps” or gradual interest changes and accomplished by moving the yield curve in a parallel fashion, over the next twelve-month period, in increments of +/- 100 basis points. The simulation model forecasts scenario-specific principal and interest cash flows for the interest-bearing assets and liabilities, and the NII is calculated for each scenario. Key balance sheet modeling assumptions used in the NII sensitivity analysis include: the size of the balance sheet remains relatively constant over the simulation horizon and maturing assets or liabilities are reinvested in similar instruments in order to maintain the current mix of the balance sheet. In addition, assumptions are made about the prepayment behavior of mortgage-backed assets, future pricing spreads for new assets and liabilities and the speed and magnitude with which deposit rates change in response to changes in the overall level of interest rates. Other NII sensitivity analysis may include scenarios such as yield curve twists or non-static balance sheet changes (such as changes to key balance sheet drivers).
Consistent with OCC guidelines, the market value or economic capitalization of ASB is measured as economic value of equity (EVE). EVE represents the theoretical market value of ASB’s net worth and is defined as the present value of expected net cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of expected net cash flows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. Key assumptions used in the calculation of ASB’s EVE include the prepayment behavior of loans and investments, the possible distribution of future interest rates, pricing spreads for assets and liabilities in the alternate scenarios and the rate and balance behavior of deposit accounts with indeterminate maturities. EVE is calculated in multiple scenarios. As with the NII simulation, the base case is represented by the current yield curve. Alternate scenarios are created by assuming immediate parallel shifts in the yield curve in increments of +/- 100 basis points (bp) up to + 300 bp. The change in EVE is measured as the change in EVE in a given rate scenario from the base case and expressed as a percentage. To gain further insight into the IRRinterest rate risk profile, additional analysis is periodically performed in alternate scenarios including rate shifts of greater magnitude and changes in key balance sheet drivers.

ASB’s NII sensitivity profile was moreless asset sensitive as of December, 31, 20192021 as compared to December 31, 2018. The decrease2020, primarily driven by the increase in long term market rates, increasedgrowth in the fixed rate portion of the HELOC and residential mortgage portfolios, and core deposit funded investment securities purchases. The increase in market rates decreased prepayment expectations resulting in higher reinvestment into lower yieldingthe Bank’s fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment portfolios. The increased prepayment expectations also drove higher premium amortization on existing mortgage-backed securities.portfolios, driving decreased asset sensitivity. In addition, the bank had more cash onfixed rate portion of the balance sheetHELOC and residential mortgage portfolios grew, contributing to decreased asset sensitivity. Lastly, the deployment of strong core deposit growth into new fixed-rate investment purchases further contributed to decreased sensitivity.
EVE sensitivity decreased as of December 31, 2019, which contributed to higher NII asset sensitivity.
EVE sensitivity increased as of December 31, 20192021 compared to December 31, 20182020 as the duration of assets shortened while the duration of liabilities lengthened. The downward shift insteepening of the yield curve led to fasterslower prepayment expectations and shortenedlengthened the durationsduration of the fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment portfolios, while lengthening core deposit duration.portfolios.
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.


Other than bank interest rate risk
The Company’s general policy is to manage “other than bank” interest rate risk through use of a combination of short-term debt, long-term debt and preferred securities. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the Company was exposed to “other than bank” interest rate risk because of its periodic borrowing requirements, the impact of interest rates on the discount rate and the market value of plan assets used to determine retirement benefits expenses and obligations (see “Pension and other postretirement benefits obligations” in HEI’s MD&A and “Retirement benefits” in Notes 1 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the possible effect of interest rates on the electric utilities’ allowed rates of return. Other than these exposures, management believes its exposure to “other than bank” interest rate risk is not material. The Company’s long-term debt, in the form of borrowings of proceeds of revenue bonds, privately-placed senior notes and bank term loans, is predominately at fixed rates (see Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value of long-term debt, net-other than bank).

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control -— Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019,2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control -— Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A.Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter Description
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Hawaiian Electric,”Electric” or the “Utility”) is subject to rate regulation by the Hawaii Public Utility Commission (the “PUC”) and accounts for the effects of regulation under FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 980, “Regulated Operations”Operations,” as management has determined it meetsbelieves that the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted inoperations of the United States of America to prepare its financial statements applyingUtility currently satisfy the specialized rules to accountcriteria for the effects of cost-based rate regulation.regulatory accounting. Accounting for the economics of rate regulation impacts multiple financial statement line items and disclosures, such as property, plant, and equipment; regulatory assets and liabilities; operating revenues; operation and maintenance expense; and depreciation expense. As of December 31, 2019,2021, regulatory assets and liabilities amounted to approximately $715,080,000$565,543,000 and $972,310,000,$996,768,000, respectively. The Company’s continued accounting under ASC Topic 980 generally requires that rates are established by an independent, third party regulator,third-party regulator; rates are designed to recover the costs of providing service,service; and it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to, and collected from, customers. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a Decision and Order approving a new performance-based regulation (“PBR”) framework. The framework became fully effective on June 1, 2021.

Hawaiian Electric’s rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes and earnings oversight. Rates are determined and approved in regulatory proceedings based on an analysis of the Company’sUtility’s costs to provide utility service and a return on, and recovery of, Hawaiian Electric’s investment in the utility business. Any decision by the PUC could (1) impact the recovery in future rates of costs incurred as property, plant, and equipment and deferred as regulatory assets and (2) necessitate a refund or future reductions in rates that should be reported as regulatory liabilities.

We identified the impact of rate regulation as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about the applicability of applying the specialized rules and the impacted account balances, andincluding disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of future regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the applicability of the specialized rules and the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs and (2) a refund to customers. Given that management’s accounting judgementsjudgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of future decisions by the PUC, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate settingrate-setting process due to its inherent complexities.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the application of specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation and the uncertainty of future decisions by the rate regulators included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over (1) the evaluation of the application of specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation and (2) the evaluation of the likelihood of (1)(a) the recovery in future rates of costs incurred as property, plant, and equipment and deferred as regulatory assets and (2)(b) a refund or a future reduction in rates that should be reported as regulatory liabilities. Such controls include the monitoring and evaluation of regulatory developments that may affect the likelihood of recovering costs in future rates or incurring future reductionsrefunding amounts in rates.
•We evaluated the Company’s conclusion that it should apply the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation including considerations as a result of the PBR decision and order.
•We evaluated the Company’s disclosures related to the impacts of rate regulation, including the balances recorded and regulatory developments.
•We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the PUC for the Company,Utility, regulatory statutes, filings made by interveners, and other publicly available information to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedenceprecedents of the PUC’s treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances. We evaluated the external information and compared to management’s recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.
•For regulatory matters in process, we inspected the Utility’s filings with the PUC and the filings with the PUC by intervenors that may impact the Utility’s future rates, for any evidence that might contradict management’s assertions.
•
For regulatory matters in process, we inspected the Company’s filings with the PUC and the filings with the PUC by intervenors that may impact the Company’s future rates, for any evidence that might contradict management’s assertions.
We obtained analyses from management which includes input from regulatory and legal counsel, as appropriate regarding probability of recovery for regulatory assets or refund or future reduction in rates for regulatory liabilities not yet addressed in a regulatory order to assess management’s assertion that amounts are probable of recovery, or a future reductionrefundable in rates.

Allowance for LoanCredit Losses - Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company maintains an allowance for loancredit losses (the “Allowance”) to absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio. Asis a material estimate of the Company and as of December 31, 2019,2021, the total Allowance balance is $53.4 million.was $71,130,000. The level of Allowanceallowance for credit losses is based on existing risks in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, changes in collateral valuescomposition, characteristics, and current conditions (e.g.,quality of the loans, as well as the prevailing economic conditions real estate market conditions and the interest rate environment).reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Allowance is allocated to loan types using bothcredit loss models use a formula-based approach applied to groups of loans and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment. The formula-based approach emphasizesprobability-of-default, loss factors primarily derived from actual historicalgiven default, and loss rates, which are combined with an assessment of certainexposure at default methodology to estimate expected credit losses.

The Company also incorporates qualitative factors to determineadjust the allowance amounts allocated tohistorical loss rates or other static sources as these rates may not be an accurate indicator of expected losses in the various loan categories.current portfolio. These qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, adjustments for changes in policies and procedures in underwriting, monitoring or collections, current and expected economic conditions, portfolio mix, lending and risk management personnel, results of internal audit and quality control reviews, collateral values, and any concentrations of credit.

The selection of relevant and appropriate qualitative factors in calculating the Allowanceallowance for credit losses requires significant management judgment. Given the magnitude of the loan portfolioqualitative factors and the subjective naturesignificant amount of determining the Allowance, including the judgments appliedjudgment required by management in determiningdeveloping the qualitative factors, auditingcomponent of the Allowance attributableoverall allowance, performing audit procedures to these qualitative factors involvesevaluate the reasonableness of the allowance for credit losses required a high degree of auditor judgment, andan increased level of effort, and the need to involve more experienced audit professionals.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the Allowance,allowance for credit losses included the following, procedures, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over the Allowance,allowance for credit losses, including management’s controls over the respective qualitative factors.
•We evaluated the reasonableness and conceptual soundness of the Allowanceallowance for credit losses modeling framework, including the use of qualitative factors.
•We tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculation of the qualitative Allowanceallowance for credit losses as well as the accuracy and completeness of data used as inputs to the determination of qualitative factors.
•We evaluated the qualitative factors applied to the historical loss rates, under the incurred loss model, including assessing the basis for the factors and the reasonableness of the qualitative factors used in the Allowance.allowance for credit losses.
•We evaluated the directional consistency and magnitude of the qualitative adjustments, as well as the absolute value of the allowance for credit losses attributable to the qualitative adjustments.
•In order to identify potential bias in the determination of the Allowance,allowance for credit losses, we performed analytical analysis, including retrospective review, where we compared the estimate of losses to actual losses, analyzed ratios of the Allowanceallowance for credit losses to loans and other relevant metric,metrics, such as losses and nonperforming loans, and performed peer analysis where we compared relevant metrics to comparable financial institutions.

Summary of significant accounting policies - Recent accounting pronouncements - Credit losses - Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
On January 1, 2020, the Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date (based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts) and enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. The Company and Utilities will adopt ASU No. 2016-13 using an effective date of January 1, 2020 and will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments to be recognized in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a material estimate of the Company. As a result of the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the expected life of the loan, the Company expects to record, upon completing its final analysis, an adjustment between $18 million and $22 million to increase the ACL, with a corresponding adjustment to reduce retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The ACL requires management to make estimates of the expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans, including using estimates of future economic conditions that will impact the amount of such future losses. In order to estimate the expected credit losses, existing credit loss estimation models were updated and, in certain cases, new models implemented to align with the expected loss framework.



The estimation of credit losses significantly changes under the expected loss framework, includes the application of new accounting policies, the use of new subjective judgments, and changes to loss estimation models. Accordingly, the procedures performed to audit the disclosure of the expected impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 involved a high degree of auditor judgment and required significant effort, including the need to involve our credit specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the disclosure of the expected impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over key assumptions and judgments, expected loss estimation models, selection and application of new accounting policies, and disclosure of the impact of adoption discussed in the financial statements.
We evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure related to the Adoption of ASU No. 2016-13.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s policies, methodologies, and elections involved in the adoption of the expected loss model.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of the expected loss estimation models, including the completeness and accuracy of inputs to the models.
We involved credit specialist to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness and conceptual soundness of the methodology as applied in the expected loss estimation models.
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s key assumptions and judgments in estimating future credit losses.

Electric Utility Segment – Regulatory Assets and Liabilities - Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Hawaiian Electric” or the “Utility”) is subject to rate regulation by the Hawaii Public Utility Commission (the “PUC”) and accounts for the effects of regulation under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 980, “Regulated Operations,” as management believes that the operations of the Utility currently satisfy the criteria for regulatory accounting. Accounting for the economics of rate regulation impacts multiple financial statement line items and disclosures, such as property, plant, and equipment; regulatory assets and liabilities; operating revenues; operation and maintenance expense; and depreciation expense. As of December 31, 2021, regulatory assets and liabilities amounted to approximately $565,543,000 and $996,768,000, respectively. The Company’s continued accounting under ASC Topic 980 generally requires that rates are established by an independent, third-party regulator; rates are designed to recover the costs of providing service; and it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to, and collected from, customers. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a Decision and Order approving a new performance-based regulation (“PBR”) framework. The framework became fully effective on June 1, 2021.

Hawaiian Electric’s rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes and earnings oversight. Rates are determined and approved in regulatory proceedings based on an analysis of the Utility’s costs to provide utility service and a return on, and

recovery of, Hawaiian Electric’s investment in the utility business. Any decision by the PUC could (1) impact the recovery in future rates of costs incurred as property, plant, and equipment and deferred as regulatory assets and (2) necessitate a refund in rates that should be reported as regulatory liabilities.

We identified the impact of rate regulation as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about the applicability of applying the specialized rules and the impacted account balances, including disclosures and the high degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the impact of regulatory orders on the financial statements. Management judgments include assessing the applicability of the specialized rules and the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of incurred costs and (2) a refund to customers. Given that management’s accounting judgments are based on assumptions about the outcome of future decisions by the PUC, auditing these judgments required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate-setting process due to its inherent complexities.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the application of specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation and the uncertainty of future decisions by the rate regulators included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over (1) the evaluation of the application of specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation and (2) the evaluation of the likelihood of (a) the recovery in future rates of costs incurred as property, plant, and equipment and deferred as regulatory assets and (b) a refund that should be reported as regulatory liabilities. Such controls include the monitoring and evaluation of regulatory developments that may affect the likelihood of recovering costs in future rates or refunding amounts in rates.
•We evaluated the Company’s conclusion that it should apply the specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation including considerations as a result of the PBR decision and order.
•We evaluated the Company’s disclosures related to the impacts of rate regulation, including the balances recorded and regulatory developments.
•We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the PUC for the Utility, regulatory statutes, filings made by interveners, and other publicly available information to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the PUC’s treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances. We evaluated the external information and compared to management’s recorded regulatory asset and liability balances for completeness.
•For regulatory matters in process, we inspected the Utility’s filings with the PUC and the filings with the PUC by intervenors that may impact the Utility’s future rates, for any evidence that might contradict management’s assertions.
•We obtained analyses from management as appropriate regarding probability of recovery for regulatory assets or refund in rates for regulatory liabilities not yet addressed in a regulatory order to assess management’s assertion that amounts are probable of recovery, or refundable in rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1 · Summary of significant accounting policies
General
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) is a holding company with direct and indirect subsidiaries principally engaged in electric utility, banking, and non-regulated renewable/sustainable infrastructure investment businesses operating in the State of Hawaii. HEI owns Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric), ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), an intermediate holding company that owns American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), and Pacific Current, LLC (Pacific Current). Pacific Current’s significant subsidiaries include Hamakua Energy, LLC (Hamakua Energy) and Mauo, LLC (Mauo).
Hawaiian Electric and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (Hawaii Electric Light) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (Maui Electric), are regulated public electric utilities (collectively, the Utilities) in the business of generating, purchasing, transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy on all major islands in Hawaii other than Kauai. See Note 2.
ASB is a federally chartered, savingsfull-service community bank providing a fullwide range of banking services to individual and business customers through its branch system in Hawaii.42 branches on Oahu (29), Maui (6), Hawaii (4), Kauai (2) and Molokai (1).
Pacific Current’s significant subsidiaries include Hamakua Energy, LLC (Hamakua Energy), Mauo, LLC (Mauo) and Kaʻieʻie Waho Company, LLC (Kaʻieʻie Waho). Hamakua Energy, owns and operates a 60-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power plant, which sells the power it produces only to Hawaii Electric Light. Mauo is a commercial-scale, solar-plus-storage project (8.6 MW of solar and 42.3 MW of storage) currently under construction on the islands of Oahu and Maui. Kaʻieʻie Waho owns and operates a 6-MW photovoltaic project, which sells all power produced to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative.
Basis of presentation.  In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), 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.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change for HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) include the amounts reported as fair value for investment securities (ASB only); pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; contingencies and litigation; income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities (Utilities only); electric utility unbilled revenues (Utilities only); asset retirement obligations (Utilities only); and allowance for loancredit losses (ASB only).
Consolidation.  The HEI consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HEI and its subsidiaries. The Hawaiian Electric consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries. When HEI or Hawaiian Electric has a controlling financial interest in another entity (usually, majority voting interest), that entity is consolidated. Investments in companies over which the Company or the Utilities have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements exclude variable interest entities (VIEs) when the Company or the Utilities are not the primary beneficiaries. In general, significantSignificant intercompany amounts are eliminated in consolidation (see Note 2 for limited exceptions).
Cash and cash equivalents.  The Utilities consider cash on hand, deposits in banks, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, short-term commercial paper of non-affiliates and liquid investments (with original maturities of three months or less) to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers the same items to be cash and cash equivalents as well as ASB’s deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), federal funds sold (excess funds that ASB loans to other banks overnight at the federal funds rate) and securities purchased under resale agreements with original maturities of three months or less. Additionally, ASB is required by the Federal Reserve System to maintain noninterest-bearing cash reserves equal to a percentage of certain deposits. The reserve requirement for ASB at December 31, 20192021 and 20182020 was $26.2 millionnil. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve Board reduced the reserve requirement to nil to support the depository institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic and $28.1 million, respectively.effective March 2021, the change was made permanent.
Restricted cash.  The Utilities consider funds on deposit with trustees, which represent the undrawn proceeds from the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds, to be restricted cash because these funds are available only to finance (or reimburse payment of) approved capital expenditures. In addition to the Utilities’ funds on deposit with trustees, the Company considers cash held by trustees related to non-recourse loans at Pacific Current subsidiaries to be restricted cash. At December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, total restricted cash of the Company was $5.9 million and $17.6 million, respectively, and for the Utilities was $30.9$3.1 million and NaN, respectively (see Note 6).$16.0 million, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment.  Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost. Self-constructed electric utility plant includes engineering, supervision, administrative and general costs and an allowance for the cost of funds used during the construction period. These costs are recorded in construction in progress and are transferred to utility plant when construction is


completed and the facilities are either placed in service or become useful for public utility purposes. Costs for betterments that make utility plant more useful, more efficient, of greater durability or of greater capacity are also capitalized. Upon the retirement or sale of electric utility plant, generally no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of the plant retired is charged to accumulated depreciation. Amounts collected from customers for cost of removal are included in regulatory liabilities. See discussion regarding “Utility projects” in Note 3.
Depreciation.  Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets being depreciated. Electric utility plant additions in the current year are depreciated beginning January 1 of the following year in accordance with rate-making. Electric utility plant has lives ranging from 16 to 8851 years for production plant, from 10 to 79 years for transmission and distribution plant, and from 5 to 6550 years for general plant. The Utilities’ composite annual depreciation rate, which includes a component for cost of removal, was 3.2% in 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017.2019.
Retirement benefits.  Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are charged primarily to expense and electric utility plant (in the case of the Utilities). Funding for the Company’s qualified pension plans (Plans) is based on actuarial assumptions adopted by the Pension Investment Committee administering the Plans. The participating employers contribute amounts to a master pension trusttrusts for the Plans in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), including changes promulgated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and considering the deductibility of contributions under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company generally funds at least the net periodic pension cost during the year, subject to ERISA minimum and Internal Revenue Code limits and targeted funded status.
Certain health care and/or life insurance benefits are provided to eligible retired employees and the employees’ beneficiaries and covered dependents. The Company generally funds the net periodic postretirement benefit costs other than pensions (except for executive life) for postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB), while maximizing the use of the most tax-advantaged funding vehicles, subject to cash flow requirements and reviews of the funded status with the consulting actuary.
Environmental expenditures.  The Company and the Utilities are subject to numerous federal and state environmental statutes and regulations. In general, environmental contamination treatment costs are charged to expense. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property; the costs mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination; or the costs are incurred in preparing the property for sale. Environmental costs are either capitalized or charged to expense when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Utilities review their sites and measure the liability quarterly by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs of each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties.
Income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s and the Utilities’ assets and liabilities at federal and state tax rates expected to be in effect when such deferred tax assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
HEI and the Utilities’ investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the properties to which the credits relate (and for the Utilities, this treatment is in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 980, “Regulated Operations”).
The Utilities are included in the consolidated income tax returns of HEI. However, income tax expense has been computed for financial statement purposes as if each utility filed a separate income tax return and Hawaiian Electric filed a consolidated Hawaiian Electric income tax return.
Governmental tax authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by the Company. The Company and the Utilities use a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Fair value measurements. Fair value estimates are estimates of the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
99

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the Company and the Utilities use their own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These

valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the Company or the Utilities were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the Company’s and the Utilities’ financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.
The Company and the Utilities group their financial assets measured at fair value in three levels outlined as follows:
Level 1:Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2:Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3:Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Level 1:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2:    Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Classification in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. For instruments classified in Level 1 and 2 where inputs are primarily based upon observable market data, there is less judgment applied in arriving at the fair value. For instruments classified in Level 3, management judgment is more significant due to the lack of observable market data.
The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next related to the observability of inputs in fair value measurements may result in a reclassification between the fair value hierarchy levels and are recognized based on period-end balances.
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate certain assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of nonrecurring uses of fair value include mortgage servicing rights accounted for by the amortization method, loan impairments for certain loans, real estate acquired in settlement of loans, goodwill and asset retirement obligations (AROs).
Earnings per share (HEI only).  Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income for common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly, except that dilutive common shares for stock compensation is added to the denominator. There were 0no shares of antidilutive securities outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017.2019.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of.  The Company and the Utilities review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
LeasesIncome Taxes. In February 2016, theDecember 2019, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, “Leases2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 842),740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires that lessees recognize a liabilityremoves specific exceptions to make lease payments (the lease liability)the general principles in Topic 740, improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, for all leases (except short-term leases) at the commencement date. For finance leases, a lessee is required to recognize interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the ROU asset in the consolidated statements of income. For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis.
The Company adoptedsimplifies GAAP under certain situations. ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and used the2019-12 is effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information for dates and periods before January 1, 2019 will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided (i.e., the Company will continue to report prior comparative periodspublic business entities for fiscal

presented inyears beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, including the required disclosures under ASC 840)and related disclosures.
Leases.
The most significant effect of the new standard relates to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet for purchase power agreements and real estate operating leases. On adoption, the Company recognized additional lease liabilities of approximately $257 million for the Company and approximately $236 million for the Utilities ($215 million related to PPAs), based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments, with corresponding ROU assets for existing operating leases, under current leasing standards. In determining the lease liability upon transition, the Company used the incremental borrowing rates as of the adoption date based on the remaining lease term and remaining lease payments. See Note 8 for more information.
Credit losses. In June 2016, theJuly 19, 2021 FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses2021-05, “Leases (Topic 326)842): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,Lessors–Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments.” which is intendedThe ASU allows lessors to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU No. 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date (based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts) and enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and purchased financial assetstreat sales-type leases with credit deterioration. The other-than-temporary impairment model of accounting for credit losses on AFS debt securities will be replaced with an estimate of expected credit losses only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The AFS debt security model will also require the use of an allowance to record the estimated losses (and subsequent recoveries). The Company and Utilities will adopt ASU No. 2016-13 using an effective date of January 1, 2020 and will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendmentsvariable payments to be recognized in retained earningsclassified as of January 1, 2020.

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a material estimate ofoperating leases if the Company. As a result of the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the expected life of the loan, the Company expects to record, upon completing its final analysis, an adjustment between $18 million to $22 million to increase the ACL, with a corresponding adjustment to reduce retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The ACL is based on the composition, characteristics and quality of the loans and off balance sheet credit exposures as well as the prevailing economic conditions as of the adoption date. The increase to the ACL for the loan portfolio willsales-type lease treatment under Topic 842 would result in a decrease to retained earnings and regulatory capital amounts and ratios. However, ASB expects to remain well capitalized under the regulatory framework after the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13. Based on the credit quality of the Company’s existing held-to-maturity and AFS investment securities portfolio, the Company will not recognize an ACLselling loss at adoption for those investments. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to the Utilities’ customer and other accounts receivables and accrued unbilled revenue.
Compensation-retirement benefits-defined benefit plans. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The new guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requires new ones that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU No. 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020lease commencement (day-one loss). The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-14, effective for2021-05 as of September 30, 2021 retrospectively to leases that commenced on or after the year ended December 31, 2019, and applied the amended disclosure requirements to all periods presented. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company’s employee benefit plans.
Codification Improvements. In April 2019, the FASB issuedadoption of ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” which is intended to clarify certain issues related to the accounting for financial instruments.

Electric utility

Regulation by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC). The Utilities are regulated by the PUC and account for the effects of regulation under FASB ASC Topic 980, “Regulated Operations.” As a result, the Utilities’ financial statements reflect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses based on current cost-based rate-making regulations (see Note 3—“Regulatory assets and liabilities”). Their continued accounting under ASC Topic 980 generally requires that rates are established by an independent, third-party regulator; rates are designed to recover the costs of providing service; and it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to, and collected from, customers. Management believes that the operations of the Utilities, including the impact of the newly approved PBR Framework, currently satisfy the criteria under ASC Topic 980.
The rate schedules of the Utilities include energy costs recovery clauses (ECRCs) under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. The rate schedules also include purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs) under which the remaining purchase power expenses are recovered through surcharge mechanisms. The amounts collected through the ECRCs and PPACs are required to be reconciled quarterly.
Accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Utilities generally assess a late payment charge on balances unpaid from the previous month. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Utilities’ best estimate of the amount of probableexpected credit losses in the Utilities’ existing accounts receivable. Due to the economic impact of COVID-19 on customers and the moratorium on electric service disconnections through May 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts increased in 2020 and 2021. At December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the allowance for customer accounts receivable, accrued unbilled revenues and other accounts receivable was $1.4$26.1 million and $1.5$17.8 million, respectively.
Electric utility revenues.  Revenues related to electric service are generally recorded when service is rendered and include revenues applicable to energy consumed in the accounting period but not yet billed to the customers. The Utilities also record revenue under a decoupling mechanism. See “Decoupling”“Decoupling” discussion in Note 3 - Electric Utility segment.3.
Repairs and maintenance costs. Repairs and maintenance costs for overhauls of generating units are generally expensed as they are incurred.
Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC). AFUDC is an accounting practice wherebyrepresents the estimated costs of debt (i.e., interest) and equity funds used to finance plant construction areconstruction. AFUDC is credited on the statement of income and charged to construction in progress on the balance sheet. If a project under construction is delayed for an extended period of time, AFUDC on the delayed project may be stopped after assessing the causes of the delay and probability of recovery. The tax gross up of the allowance for equity funds used during construction is credited to income taxes on the statement of income and charged to a regulatory asset. This gross up, net of amortization of the regulatory asset, is reflected in income tax expense.
The weighted-average AFUDC rate was 7.4%7.1% in 2019, 7.3%2021, 7.1% in 20182020 and 7.7%7.4% in 2017,2019, and reflected quarterly compounding.

Asset retirement obligations. AROs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations. AROs are recognized at present value of expected costs to retire long-lived assets from service, provided a legal obligation exists and a reasonable estimate of the fair value and the settlement date can be made. In the subsequent period, the liability is accreted to its future value while the asset retirement cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. The Utilities’ recognition of AROs have no impact on earnings, as the cost of the AROs are recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by the Utilities relate to legal obligations with the retirement of plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials. See “Asset retirement obligations” in Note 3.
Bank (HEI only)
Investment securities.  Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity (HTM), trading or available-for-sale (AFS). ASB determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. Debt securities that ASB intends to and has the ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM securities and reported at amortized cost. Marketable debt securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Marketable debt securities not classified as either HTM or trading securities are classified as AFS and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for AFS securities are excluded from earnings and reported on a net basis in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) until realized.

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted or amortized into interest income using the interest method over the remaining contractual lives of the agency obligation securities and the estimated lives of the mortgage-backed securities adjusted for anticipated prepayments. ASB uses actual prepayment experience and estimates of future prepayments to determine the constant effective yield necessary to apply the interest method of income recognition. The discounts and premiums on the agency obligations portfolio are accreted or amortized on a prospective basis using expected contractual cash flows. The discounts and premiums on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio are accreted or amortized on a retrospective basis using changes in anticipated prepayments. This method requires a retrospective adjustment of the effective yield each time ASB changes the estimated life as if the new estimate had been known since the original acquisition date of the securities. Estimates of future prepayments are based on the underlying collateral characteristics and historic or projected prepayment behavior of each security. The specific identification method is used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of securities.
ForAFS debt securities thatwith unrealized losses are not trading securities, individual securities are assessed for impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. A security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its carrying value at the financial statement date. When a security is impaired,reviewed quarterly. ASB determineswill first assess whether this impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. If ASB does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security or there is a change in the expected cash flows, an OTTI exists. If ASBit intends to sell, the security, or will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, the OTTI must be recognized in earnings. If ASB does not intend to sell the security, and it is not more likely than not that ASBit will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the OTTI mustsecurity’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, ASB evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of a credit loss or other factors. The determination of whether or not a credit loss exists is based on consideration of the cash flows expected to be separated intocollected from the amount representingdebt security. ASB develops these expectations after considering various factors such as agency ratings, the financial condition of the issuer, payment history, payment structure of the security, industry and market conditions, underlying collateral and other factors which may be relevant based on the facts and circumstances pertaining to individual securities. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, andlimited by the amount related to all other factors. The amount of OTTI related tothat the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losslosses is recognized in earnings, whileother comprehensive income. Changes in the remaining OTTIallowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS security is recognized in AOCI. Based on ASB’s evaluation asconfirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. As of December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, there was 0no indicated impairment as ASB expects to collect the contractual cash flows for these investments.
Held-to-maturity debt securities are assessed periodically to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary to absorb credit losses expected to occur over the remaining contractual life of the securities. The carrying amount of held-to-maturity debt securities is presented net of the valuation allowance for credit losses when such an allowance is deemed necessary.
Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)FHLB is carried at cost and is reviewed at least quarterly for impairment, with valuation adjustments recognized in noninterest income.
Loans.  ASB carries loans at amortized cost less the allowance for loancredit losses, loan origination fees (net of direct loan origination costs), commitment fees and purchase premiums and discounts. Interest on loans is credited to income as it is earned. Discounts and premiums are accreted or amortized over the life of the loans using the interest method.
Loan origination fees (net of direct loan origination costs) are deferred and recognized as an adjustment in yield over periods not exceeding the contractual life of the loan using the interest method or taken into income when the loan is paid off or

sold. Nonrefundable commitment fees (net of direct loan origination costs, if applicable) received for commitments to originate or purchase loans are deferred and, if the commitment is exercised, recognized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan using the interest method. Nonrefundable commitment fees received for which the commitment expires unexercised are recognized as income upon expiration of the commitment.
Loans held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an aggregate basis. Premiums, discounts and net deferred loan fees are not amortized while a loan is classified as held for sale. A sale is recognized only when the consideration received is other than beneficial interests in the assets sold and control over the assets is transferred irrevocably to the buyer. Gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated basis of the loans sold.
Allowance for loancredit losses. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of the related loans as of the balance sheet date. Contractual terms are adjusted for expected prepayments but are not extended for expected extensions, renewals or modifications except in circumstances where ASB maintainsreasonably expects to execute a troubled debt restructuring with the borrower or where certain extension or renewal options are embedded in the original contract and not unconditionally cancellable by the Bank.
Accrued interest receivables on loans are presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a component of other assets. When accrued interest is deemed to be uncollectible (typically when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status), interest income is reversed against interest income on loans. ASB follows established policies for placing loans on nonaccrual status, so uncollectible accrued interest receivable is reversed in a timely manner. As a result, the Bank has elected not to measure an allowance for loancredit losses for accrued interest receivables.
Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio.the ACL. The ACL is maintained at a level of allowance for loan lossesthe Bank considers to be adequate and is based on ongoing assessments and evaluations of the collectability of loans. The Bank’s expected credit loss models consider historical credit loss experience, current market and economic conditions, and forecasted changes in market and economic conditions if such forecasts are considered reasonable and supportable. Generally, the Bank considers its forecasts to be reasonable and supportable for a continuing assessmentperiod of existing risks inup to a year from the loan portfolio,estimation date. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, expected credit losses are estimated by reverting to historical loss experience,information without adjustment for changes in collateral valueseconomic conditions. The Bank evaluates the length of its reasonable and current conditions (e.g.,supportable forecast period, its reversion period and reversion methodology at least annually, or more often if warranted by economic conditions real estate market conditions and interest rate environment). or other circumstances.
The allowanceBank’s methodology for loandetermining the ACL includes an estimate of expected credit losses is allocated to loan types using bothon a formula-based approach applied tocollective basis for groups of loans with similar risk characteristics and an analysis of certain individualspecific allowances for loans for impairment. The formula-based approach emphasizes loss factors primarily derived from actual historical default and loss rates, which are combined with an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine the allowance amounts allocated to the various loan categories. Adverse changes in any of these factors could result in higher charge-offs and provision for loan losses.individually evaluated.
ASB disaggregates its portfolio loans into portfolio segments for purposes of determining the allowance for loancredit losses. Commercial, commercial real estate, and commercial construction loans are defined as non-homogeneous loans and ASB utilizes a risk rating system for evaluating the credit quality of the loans. Non-homogeneous loans are also categorized into the regulatory asset quality classifications—Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss based on credit quality. ASB utilizes a numerical-based, risk rating “PD Model” that takes into consideration fiscal year-end financial information of the borrower and identified financial attributes including retained earnings, operating cash flows, interest coverage, liquidity and

leverage that demonstrate a strong correlation with default to assign default probabilities at the borrower level. In addition, a loss given default (LGD) value is assigned to each loan to measure loss in the event of default based on loan specific features such as collateral that mitigates the amount of loss in the event of default.
Residential, consumer and credit scored business loans are considered homogeneous loans, which are typically underwritten based on common, uniform standards. For the homogeneous portfolio, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. ASB supplements performance data with external credit bureau data and credit scores such as the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score on a quarterly basis. ASB has built portfolio loss models for each major segment based on the combination of internal and external data to predict the probability of default at the loan level.
ASBThe Bank also considers qualitative factors in determining the allowance for loan losses.ACL. Qualitative factors are used to capture characteristics in the portfolio that impact expected credit losses but that are not fully captured within the Bank’s expected credit loss models. These include but are not limited to adjustments for changes in policies andor procedures in underwriting, monitoring or collections, economic conditions, portfolio mix, lending and risk management personnel, results of internal audit and quality control reviews, collateral values and any concentrations of credit.
The reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probablecover expected losses related to unfunded credit facilities and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The
103

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based upon an evaluation of the unfunded credit facilities, including an assessment of historical commitment utilization experience, credit risk grading and historical loss rates. This process takes into consideration the same risk elements that are analyzed in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loancredit losses, as discussed above. Net adjustments to the reserve for unfunded commitments are included in other noninterest expensethe provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.
The allowance for loancredit losses is based on currently available information and historical experience, and future adjustments may be required from time to time to the allowance for loancredit losses based on new information and changes that occur (e.g., due to changes in economic conditions, particularly in Hawaii). Actual losses could differ from management’s estimates, and these differences and subsequent adjustments could be material.
Nonperforming loans. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more, or earlier if the probability of collection is insufficient to warrant further accrual. All interest that is accrued but not collected is reversed. A loan may be returned to accrual status if (i) principal and interest payments have been brought current and repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest is expected to be made, (ii) the loan has otherwise become well-secured and in the process of collection, or (iii) the borrower has been making regularly scheduled payments in full for the prior six months and it is reasonably assured that the loan will be brought fully current within a reasonable period. Cash receipts on nonaccruing loans are generally applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance.
Loans considered to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance for loancredit losses. The amount and timing of charge-offs on loans includes consideration of the loan type, length of delinquency, insufficiency of collateral value, lien priority and the overall financial condition of the borrower. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off are credited back to the allowance for loancredit losses. Loans that have been charged-off against the allowance for loancredit losses are periodically monitored to evaluate whether further adjustments to the allowance are necessary.
Loans in the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio are charged-off when the loan is risk rated “Doubtful” or “Loss.” The loan or a portion thereof is determined to be uncollectible after considering the borrower’s overall financial condition and collateral deficiency. A commercial or commercial real estate loan is considered uncollectible when: (a) the borrower is delinquent in principal or interest 90 days or more; (b) significant improvement in the borrower’s repayment capacity is doubtful; and/or (c) collateral value is insufficient to cover outstanding indebtedness and no other viable assets or repayment sources exist.
Loans in the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios are charged-off when the loan or a portion thereof is determined to be uncollectible after considering the borrower’s overall financial condition and collateral deficiency. Such loan is considered uncollectible when: (a) the borrower is delinquent in principal or interest 180 days or more; (b) it is probable that collateral value is insufficient to cover outstanding indebtedness and no other viable assets or repayment sources exist; (c) notification of the borrower’s bankruptcy is received or the borrower’s debt is discharged in bankruptcy and the loan is not reaffirmed; or (d) in cases where ASB is in a subordinate position to other debt, the senior lien holder has foreclosed and ASB’s junior lien is extinguished.
Other consumer loans are generally charged-off when the balance becomes 120 days delinquent.

Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring.Loans are considered to have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, ASB makes concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider for a non-troubled borrower. Modifications may include interest rate reductions, interest only payments for an extended period of time, protracted terms such as amortization and maturity beyond the customary length of time found in the normal market place, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to provide alternatives to foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that has been modified in a TDR remains on nonaccrual status until the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance for a period of six consecutive months. However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of loan modification or after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, or there is reasonable doubt over the full collectability of principal and interest, the loan remains on nonaccrual status.
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans.  ASB records real estate acquired in settlement of loans at fair value, less estimated selling expenses. ASB obtains appraisals based on recent comparable sales to assist management in estimating the fair value of real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Subsequent declines in value are charged to expense through a valuation allowance. Costs related to holding real estate are charged to operations as incurred.

Goodwill. Goodwill is initially recorded as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination and is subsequently evaluated at least annually for impairment during the fourth quarter. At December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the amount of goodwill was $82.2 million.$82.2 million. The goodwill relates to ASB and is the Company’s only intangible asset with an indefinite useful life.
To determine if there was an impairment to the book value of goodwill pertaining to ASB, the fair value of ASB was estimated using a valuation method based on athe market approach and discounted cash flow method with each method having an equal weighting in determining the fair value of ASB.income approaches. The market approach considers publicly traded financial institutions and measures the institutions’ market values as a multiple to (1) net income and (2) tangible book equity. The median market value multiples for net income and book equity fromapproach also looks at sale transactions to determine the selected institutions were applied to ASB’s net income and book equity to calculate ASB’s fair value using the marketunder this approach. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow method valuesto value a company on a going concern basis and is based on the concept that the future benefits derived from a particular company can be measured by its sustainable after-tax cash flows in the future. ASB used its forecasted net income and estimated cost savings if the Bank were acquired and applied a discount rate to calculate its discounted cash flows. A capitalization of earnings method was used to calculate a terminal value for the discounted cash flow method. The income approach was weighted 75%, the publicly traded company valuation method was weighted 20% and the sale transaction valuation method was weighted 5%. More weight was given to the income approach as this approach uses the projected performance of ASB in the stressed environment and would be more indicative of the current fair value of the Bank. For the three years ended December 31, 2019,2021, there has been 0no impairment of goodwill.
Mortgage banking. Mortgage loans held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an aggregate basis. Premiums, discounts and net deferred loan fees are not amortized while a loan is classified as held-for-sale. A sale is recognized only when the consideration received is other than beneficial interests in the assets sold and control over the assets is transferred irrevocably to the buyer. Gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated basis of the loans sold. ASB is obligated to subsequently repurchase a loan if the purchaser discovers a standard representation or warranty violation such as noncompliance with eligibility requirements, customer fraud or servicing violations. This primarily occurs during a loan file review. ASB considers and records a reserve for loan repurchases if appropriate.
ASB recognizes a mortgage servicing asset when a mortgage loan is sold with servicing rights retained. This mortgage servicing right (MSR) is initially capitalized at its presumed 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. Mortgage servicing assets or liabilities are included as a component of gain on sale of loans. Under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” ASB amortizes the MSRs in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income and assess for impairment at each reporting date.
ASB’s MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type such as fixed-rate 15- and 30-year mortgages and note rate in bands primarily of 50 to 100 basis points. 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.
ASB uses a present value cash flow model using techniques described above to estimate the fair value of MSRs. Because observable market prices with exact terms and conditions may not be readily available, ASB compares the fair value of MSRs to an estimated value calculated by an independent third-party on a semi-annual basis. 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 fair value generated by the valuation model.
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.
Loan servicing fee income represents income earned for servicing mortgage loans owned by investors. It includes mortgage servicing fees and other ancillary servicing income, net of guaranty fees. Servicing fees are generally calculated on the outstanding principal balances of the loans serviced and are recorded as income when earned.
Tax credit investments. ASB invests in limited liability entities formed to operate qualifying affordable housing projects.
The affordable housing investments provide tax benefits to investors in the form of tax deductions from operating losses and tax credits. As a limited partner, ASB has no significant influence over the operations. These investments are initially recorded at the initial capital contribution with a liability recognized for the commitment to contribute additional capital over the term of the investment.
105

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

ASB uses the proportional amortization method of accounting for its investments. Under the proportional amortization method, ASB amortizes the cost of its investments in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits it receives. The amortization, tax credits and tax benefits are reported as a component of income tax expense.
For these limited liability entities, ASB assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of the limited liability entity, which is a variable interest entity (VIE). The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Generally, ASB, as a limited partner, is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary as it does not meet the power criterion, i.e., no power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and no direct ability to unilaterally remove the general partner.
All tax credit investments are evaluated for potential impairment at least annually, or more frequently, when events or conditions indicate that it is deemed probable that ASB will not recover its investment. If an investment is determined to be impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value and the new cost basis of the investment is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in value. As of December 31, 2019,2021, ASB did not have any impairment losses resulting from forfeiture or ineligibility of tax credits or other circumstances related to its low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments.
At December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the carrying amount of LIHTC investments was $66.3$111.0 million and $67.6$83.4 million, respectively, and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
ASB’s unfunded commitments to fund its LIHTC investment partnerships were $23.4$62.8 million and $18.1$41.0 million as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, respectively. These unfunded commitments are unconditional and legally binding and are recorded in other liabilities with a corresponding increase in other assets. As of December 31, 2019, 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 2 · Segment financial information
The electric utility and bank segments are strategic business units of the Company that offer different products and services and operate in different regulatory environments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described for the Company in the summary of significant accounting policies, except as otherwise indicated and except that federal and state income taxes for each segment are calculated on a “stand-alone” basis. HEI evaluates segment performance based on net income. Each segment accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were to third parties (i.e., at current market prices). Intersegment revenues consist primarily of Hamakua Energy electricity revenues, interest, rent and preferred stock dividends.
Electric utility
Hawaiian Electric and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, are public electric utilities in the business of generating, purchasing, transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy on all major islands in Hawaii other than Kauai, and are regulated by the PUC. The utility subsidiaries are aggregated within the electric utility segment because they: (1) are involved in the business of supplying electric energy in the same geographical location (i.e., the State of Hawaii), (2) have similar production processes that comprise electric generation, (3) serve similar customers within their franchise territories (e.g., residential, commercial and industrial customers), (4) use similar electric grids to distribute the energy to their customers, (5) are regulated by the PUC and undergo similar rate-making processes, (6) have similar economic characteristics and (7) perform financial reporting oversight and management of the business at the consolidated level.
Bank
ASB is a federally chartered savings bank that provides a full range of banking services to individual and business customers through its branch system in Hawaii. ASB is subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and is subject to reserve requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Other
“Other” includes amounts for the holding companies (HEI and ASB Hawaii, Inc.)Hawaii), Pacific Current and its subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries not qualifying as reportable segments, and intercompany eliminations.
Pacific Current. Pacific Current was formed in September 2017 to focus on investing in non-regulated renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii to help achieve the state’s sustainability goals. Significant investments of Pacific Current made through its subsidiaries, Hamakua Energy, LLCMauo and Mauo, LLC,Kaʻieʻie Waho, include:
Hamakua power plant.On November 24,In 2017, Hamakua Energy LLC acquired Hamakua Energy Partners, L.P.’s 60-MW combined cycle power plant and other assets from affiliates of ArcLight Capital Partners, a private equity firm. The plant sells all the power it produces to Hawaii Electric Light under an existing power purchase agreement (PPA) that expires in 2030.
Solar + Storage Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)Solar-plus-storage power purchase agreement. On February 2, 2018, Mauo LLC executed definitive agreements to acquire a solar-plus-storage PPA for a multi-site, commercial-scale project that will provide 8.6 MW of solar capacity and 42.3 MWHmegawatt-hour (MWh) of storage capacity on the islands of Maui and Oahu. The PPA has a 15-year term with ana customer option to extend for an additional five years. The system is currently being constructed by a third party contractor under an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract that was contemporaneously negotiated and executed by Mauo, LLC.Mauo. The EPC contract provides a fixed price for the purchase of the completed system, a project completion schedule and performance obligations designed to match the requirements of the solar-plus-storage PPA. Mauo LLC is funding the construction of the project with a construction facility that will be repaid on a pro rata basis at the commercial operation datedates (ultimately with cash from investment tax credits, state renewable tax credits, non-recourse project debt, and equity). There are 5 separate project sites, which are expected to be placed into service during 2020.

6-MW photovoltaic system. In September 2020 Kaʻieʻie Waho acquired a 6-MW photovoltaic situated on 20 acres of land on the island of Kauai. Kauai Island Utility Cooperative purchases all of the power generated by the system under a PPA that expires in 2033.

Regulatory assets and liabilities.  Regulatory assets represent deferred costs and accrued decoupling revenues which are expected to be recovered through rates over PUC-authorized periods. Generally, the Utilities do not earn a return on their regulatory assets; however, they have been allowed to recover interest on certain regulatory assets and to include certain regulatory assets in rate base. Regulatory liabilities represent amounts included in rates and collected from ratepayers for costs expected to be incurred in the future, or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred that are refundable to customers. For example, the regulatory liability for cost of removal in excess of salvage value represents amounts that have been collected from ratepayers for costs that are expected to be incurred in the future to retire utility plant. Generally, the Utilities include regulatory liabilities in rate base or are required to apply interest to certain regulatory liabilities. In the table below, noted in parentheses are the original PUC authorized amortization or recovery periods and, if different, the remaining amortization or recovery periods as of December 31, 20192021 are noted.

Hawaiian Electric is obligated to make dividend, redemption and liquidation payments on the preferred stock of each of its subsidiaries if the respective subsidiary is unable to make such payments, but this obligation is subordinated to Hawaiian Electric’s obligation to make payments on its own preferred stock.
Related-party transactions. HEI charged the Utilities $6.0$5.2 million,, $5.9 $5.6 million and $6.2$6.0 million for general management and administrative services in 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, respectively. The amounts charged by HEI to its subsidiaries for services provided by HEI employees are allocated primarily on the basis of time expended in providing such services.
For the years ended December 31,In 2021, 2020 and 2019, and December 31, 2018, Hamakua Energy LLC (an indirect subsidiary of HEI) sold energy and capacity to Hawaii Electric Light (subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric and indirect subsidiary of HEI) under a PPA in the amount of $68$54 million, $50 million and $56$68 million, respectively.
Hawaiian Electric’s short-term borrowings from HEI totaled NaNnil at December 31, 20192021 and 2018.2020. Borrowings among the Utilities are eliminated in consolidation. Interest charged by HEI to Hawaiian Electric was not material for the years ended December 31, 20192021 and 2018.
HECO Capital Trust III.Trust III, a wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric, was created and exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing in March 2004 2,000,000 6.50% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series 2004 (2004 Trust Preferred Securities) ($50 million aggregate liquidation preference) to the public and trust common securities ($1.5 million aggregate liquidation preference) to Hawaiian Electric, (ii) investing the proceeds of these trust securities in 2004 Debentures issued by Hawaiian Electric in the principal amount of $31.5 million and issued by Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric each in the principal amount of $10 million, (iii) making distributions on these trust securities and (iv) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto. On May 15, 2019, Trust III redeemed $50 million of its outstanding 2004 Trust Preferred Securities and $1.5 million of trust common securities. Subsequently a Certificate of Cancellation of Statutory Trust was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in order to cancel the Trust III, which became effective on June 10, 2019.
For the year-to-date period ending on the Trust’s cancellation date on June 10, 2019, Trust III’s income statement consisted of $1.2 million of interest income received from the 2004 Debentures; $1.2 million of distributions to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities; and $37,000 of common dividends on the trust common securities to Hawaiian Electric.2020.
Unconsolidated variable interest entities.
Power purchase agreements.  As of December 31, 2019,2021, the Utilities had 45 PPAs for firm capacity (excluding(including the PGV PPA as Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) has beenPPA that went offline sincein May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island)Island, but returned to service with firm capacity of 13.0 MW in the first quarter of 2021 and ramped up to 23.9 MW in the second quarter of 2021) 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 3 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 3 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 consolidated financial statements. Hamakua Energy is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current, and is consolidated in HEI’s 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. NaN IPPs of as-available energy declined to provide the information necessary for Utilities to determine the applicability of accounting standards for VIEs.
If information is ultimately received from the IPPs, a possible outcome of future analyses of such information is the consolidation of 1 or both of such IPPs in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements,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.

As of December 31, 2019,2021, the Utilities had 45 firm capacity PPAs for a total of 516.5540.4 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity. Since May 2018,The PGV facility with 34.6 MW of firm capacity has beenwent offline in May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island.Island, but returned to service with firm capacity of 13.0 MW in the first quarter of 2021, and ramped up to 23.9 MW in the second quarter and continued to provide 23.9 MW for the remainder of 2021. The PUC allows rate recovery for energy and firm capacity payments to IPPs under these agreements. Assuming that each of the agreements remains in place for its current term (and as amended) and the minimum availability criteria in the PPAs are met, aggregate minimum fixed capacity charges are expected to be approximately $51$76 million in 2020, $382022, $34 million each in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2024,2026, and $241$161 million from 20252027 through 2033.
In general, the Utilities base their payments under the PPAs upon available capacity and actual energy supplied and they are generally not required to make payments for capacity if the contracted capacity is not available, and payments are reduced, under certain conditions, if available capacity drops below contracted levels. In general, the payment rates for capacity have been predetermined for the terms of the agreements. Energy payments will vary over the terms of the agreements. The Utilities pass on changes in the fuel component of the energy charges to customers through the ECRCenergy cost recovery clause (ECRC) in their rate schedules. The Utilities do not operate, or participate in the operation of, any of the facilities that provide power under the agreements. Title to the facilities does not pass to Hawaiian Electric or its subsidiaries upon expiration of the agreements, and the agreements do not contain bargain purchase options for the facilities.
Purchase power adjustment clause. The PUC has approved purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs) for the Utilities. Purchased power capacity, O&Moperation and maintenance (O&M) and other non-energy costs previously recovered through base rates are now recovered in the PPACs and, subject to approval by the PUC, such costs resulting from new purchased power agreements can be added to the PPACs outside of a rate case. Purchased energy costs continue to be recovered through the ECRC.
Kalaeloa Partners, L.P.  Under a 1988 PPA, as amended, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 208 MW of firm capacity from Kalaeloa. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa are currently in negotiationshad been negotiating an extension to address the PPA, term that ended on May 23, 2016. Theand the PPA had automatically extendsextended on a month-to-month basis as long as the parties arewere still negotiating in good faith. In October 2021, Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa have agreed that neither party will terminatesigned the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement for Firm Dispatchable Capacity and Energy (Amended and Restated PPA) to extend the PPA (which has been subjectfor an additional term of 10 years. In November 2021, Hawaiian Electric submitted an application for approval of the Amended and Restated PPA to automatic extension on a month-to-month basis) prior to July 31, 2020, to allow for a negotiated resolution and PUC approval.the PUC.

AES Hawaii, Inc. Under a PPA entered into in March 1988, as amended (through Amended and Restated Amendment No. 2)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 and AES Hawaii have been in dispute over an additional 9 MW of capacity. In February 2018, Hawaiian Electric reached agreement with AES Hawaii on an amendment to the PPA.PPA (Amendment No. 4). However, in June 2018, the PUC issued an order suspending review of the amendment pending a DOHDepartment of Health of the State of Hawaii (DOH) decision on AES Hawaii’s request for approval of its Emission Reduction Plan and partnership with Hawaiian Electric. If approved by the PUC, the amendment will resolveSubsequently on November 25, 2021, Hawaiian Electric and AES Hawaii reached agreement in Amended and Restated Amendment No. 4 to power purchase agreement (A&RA No. 4) and Hawaiian Electric filed a Withdrawal of Application regarding Amendment No. 4. A&RA No. 4 resolves AES Hawaii’s claims related to the additional capacity.capacity and was filed as an informational filing with the PUC. 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 5,9, 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 Green House Gasgreenhouse 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 20, 2019,30, 2021, the PUC issued an order reopening the docket consistent with the Hawaii Supreme Court’s order. A contested case hearing was scheduled for further proceedings.January and February 2022, and has been rescheduled for March 2022.
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 29, 2019,11, 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., with an estimated annual base rent of $6.2 million, commencing in January 2022 (see Note 8 for lease discussion).

Hu Honua expected to complete construction of the plantissues its final D&O in the fourth quarter of 2019, but has been delayed.proceeding.
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. On August 11, 2016,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 approved the Utilities’ request to commence the ERP/EAM implementation project, subject to certain conditions, including a $77.6 million cap on cost recovery as well as a requirement that the Utilities achieve future cost savings consistent withrequired a minimum of $246 million in ERP/EAM project-related benefitsbenefit to be delivered to customers over the system’s 12-year service life. The decision and order (D&O) approved the deferral of certain project costs and allowed the accrual of allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC), but limited the AFUDC rate to 1.75%.
The ERP/EAM Implementation Project went live in October 2018. In the Hawaiian Electric 2017 rate case, a settlement agreement approved by the PUC included authorization for the deferred project costs to accrue a return at 1.75% after the project went into service and until the deferred project costs are included in rate base, and for amortization of the deferred costs to not begin until the amortization expense is incorporated in rates and the unamortized deferred project costs are included in rate base. As of December 31, 2019, the total deferred project costs and accrued carrying costs after the project went into service amounted to $59.3 million.
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. As of December 31, 2019, the Utilities recorded a total of $2.4 million as a regulatory liability for amounts to be returned to customers for reduction in O&M expense included in rates.
On September 13, 2019, the Utilities filed their Semi-Annual Enterprise System Benefits Report for the period January 1 through June 30, 2019. In October 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate’s Stipulated Performance Metrics and Tracking Mechanism. As of December 31, 2021, the Utilities’ regulatory liability was $8.6 million ($5.4 million for Hawaiian Electric, $1.3 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $1.9 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. As part of the PBR proceeding, the regulatory liability as of December 31, 2020 of approximately $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric was flowed to customers as part of the customer dividend in the annual revenue adjustment in 2021.
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 AESB report was filed on February 14, 2022 for the period January 1 through December 31, 2021.

TheFor book and regulatory purposes, the tax credits are being deferred and amortized, starting in 2020, over PUC-approved amortization periods.25 years and 10 years for federal and state credits, respectively.
As part of the approval of the project, a performance guarantee mechanism was established, which calls for the Utilities to provide energy at target annual energy production levels. Customers are compensated for production shortfalls by the amount of shortfall multiplied by the Equivalent Levelized Energy Price (ELEP) based on the revenue requirements of the actual total cost of the project, but not to exceed 9.56 cents/kilowatt-hours (kWh). Compensation for shortfalls is provided to customers as a credit through the PPAC, while production surpluses are refunded to the Utilities up to the amount of previously issued underproduction credits. In December 2021, the Utilities accrued $0.7 million in estimated underproduction credits to be returned to customers in 2022 due to not meeting the 2021 annual production target. The 2021 underproduction credit is based on an interim ELEP representing total project costs as of August 31, 2021. The credit will be trued up based on a final ELEP based on final project costs.
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 by merger 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. The EPAfederal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since identified environmental impacts in the subsurface soil at the Site.InSite. In cooperation with the Hawaii Department of HealthDOH 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 December 31, 2019,2021, representing the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for remediation of the Site and the Adjacent Parcel;Parcel based on presently available information; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the cleanup approach implemented.
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 (subsequently removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii), alleging that Hawaiian Electric is responsible for remediation of the Site based on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, section 9601 and the Hawaii Environmental Response Law under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 128D. The lawsuit seeks reimbursement and indemnification of costs to respond to the alleged release of hazardous substances on the Site, a declaratory judgment as to liability for response costs and other unspecified damages. Additionally, there are contractual claims for damages and past rent based on the period when the property was briefly leased back from Misaki’s to Molokai Electric during the transition of ownership. 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 responsible for the costs of investigation and cleanup of PCBsPCB 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 December 31, 2019,2021, the reserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $4.2$10.3 million. The reserve balance represents the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for the onshore and offshore investigation and the remediation of PCB contamination in the offshore sediment.remediation. The final remediation costs will depend on the potentialactual onshore source control requirements and actual offshore cleanup costs.

Regulatory proceedings.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. ThePrior to the implementation of the performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework), the decoupling mechanism hashad the following major components: (1) monthly revenue balancing account (RBA) revenues or refunds for the difference between PUC-approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues, which delinks revenues from kilowatthourkWh sales, (2) RAMrevenue adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues for escalation in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes, (3) MPIR component,major project interim recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism, (4) performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs), and (5) an earnings sharing mechanism (ESM), which would provide for a reduction of revenues between rate cases in the event the utility exceeds the authorized rate-making return on average common equity (ROACE) allowed in its most recent rate case.
Performance-based regulation framework. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) approving the new PBR Framework. Under the PBR Framework, the Utilities’ decoupling will continue to be used with modifications, as described below. The existing cost recovery mechanisms will continue as currently implemented (e.g., 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 annual revenue adjustment (ARA), the Utilities may seek relief for extraordinary projects or programs through the Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) (formerly known as the MPIR adjustment mechanism) and earn financial rewards for exemplary performance as provided through a portfolio of PIMs and Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs). The PBR Framework will incorporate a variety of other performance mechanisms, including Scorecards, Reported Metrics, and an expedited Pilot Process. The PBR Framework also contains a number of safeguards, including a symmetric 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, triennial general rate casesunder which the PUC will open an examination, at its discretion, to determine if adjustments or modifications to specific PBR mechanisms are required.appropriate. The new PBR Framework became fully effective on June 1, 2021.
On September 17, 2021, the PUC issued an order, including a proposed new set of potential PIMs to address these areas of PUC concern:
•Grid reliability,
Rate•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 established a procedural schedule by which a PBR Working Group (consisting of parties from the docket in which the new PBR Framework was established) will comment upon and evaluate the potential new PIMs and potentially
114

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
propose alternatives. The schedule included procedural steps for technical conferences, statements of position filings and an evidentiary hearing. The PUC has not stated when any new PIMs might become effective. On November 19, 2021, the PUC modified the procedural schedule. Accordingly, the Utilities filed their preliminary statements of position on February 8, 2022. The final statements of position are due on March 18, 2022, and an evidentiary hearing during the week of April 4, 2022.
Revenue adjustment mechanism. The RAM is 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). Annualized target revenues reset uponAll Utilities were limited to the issuance of an interim or final D&O in a rate case. Each of the Utilities’ RAM revenues was below its respective RAM Cap in 2019.2020. Under the PBR Framework, the ARA mechanism replaced the RAM, and became effective on June 1, 2021. The 2019 RAM also incorporated additional amortizationtransition to the ARA includes the continuation of the regulatory liability associated with certain excess deferred taxes resulting from the Tax Act decrease in tax rates.2020 RAM revenue adjustment.
Annual revenue adjustment mechanism. The reduction in the RAMPBR Framework established a five-year multi-year rate period during which there will be no general rate cases. Target revenues will be counterbalancedadjusted 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.
As a result of an Order issued by the lower income tax expensePUC pursuant to a motion for partial reconsideration the customer dividend for “pre-PBR” savings commitment portion to be delivered to customers will be at a rate of $6.6 million per year from 2021 to 2025, and therefore,the Enterprise Resource Planning system benefits savings of $3.9 million, to be delivered to customers in 2021. 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 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 have no net income impact.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.
Major project interim recovery. On April 27, 2017, the PUC issued an order that provided guidelines for interim recovery of revenues to support major projects placed in service between general rate cases.
Projects eligible for recovery through the MPIR adjustment mechanism are major projects (i.e., projects with capital expenditures net of customer contributions in excess of $2.5 million), including, but not restricted to, renewable energy, energy efficiency, utility scale generation, grid modernization and smaller qualifying projects grouped into programs for review. The MPIR adjustment mechanism provides the opportunity to recover revenues for approved costs of eligible projects placed in service between general rate cases wherein cost recovery is limited by a revenue cap and is not provided by other effective recovery mechanisms. The request for PUC approval must include a business case, and all costs that are allowed to be recovered through the MPIR adjustment mechanism must be offset by any related benefits. The guidelines provide for accrual of revenues approved for recovery upon in-service date to be collected from customers through the annual RBA tariff. Capital projects that are not recovered through the MPIR would be included in the RAM and be subject to the RAM Cap, until the next rate case when the Utilities would request recovery in base rates.
TheOn May 26, 2021, the PUC approved recovery of capital costs under2021 MPIR amounts totaling $21.8 million, including revenue taxes, for the MPIR for Schofield Generating Station which increased revenues in 2018 by $3.6 million and are being collected in customer bills since June 2019. In February 2019, Hawaiian Electric submitted an MPIR filing of $19.8 million for 2019 (which accrued effective January 1, 2019) that included the 2019 return on project amount (up to the capped amount) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses, for collection from June 2020 through May 2021.
The PUC approved the Utilities’ requests for MPIR of the cost of the Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1 project and West Loch PV project in March and December 2019, respectively. On February 7, 2020, the Utilities submitted an MPIR filing totaling $24.2 million for the Schofield Generation Station ($19.217.6 million), West Loch PV projectProject ($4.53.3 million), and Grid Modernization Strategy (GMS) Phase 1 project ($0.50.9 million for all three utilities) for the accrual of revenues effective January 1, 2020,2021, that included the 20202021 return on project amount (up to the capped amount)(based on approved amounts) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses, for collection fromexpenses. Under the PBR Framework, the Utilities began recovery of the annualized 2021 MPIR amounts effective June 1, 2021 through Maythe RBA rate adjustment.
On September 27, 2021, the PUC issued an order rejecting the Utilities’ August 31, 2021 request to update target revenues resulting from the GMS Phase 1 Meter Data Management System (MDMS) deferred software go‑live and completion of implementation through July 2021, as it inappropriately relied on an automatic approval provision in Hawaii Administrative Rules. The PUC did not rule on the merits of the Utilities’ request and offered the Utilities to file an amended request as soon as practicable. On October 7, 2021, the Utilities filed an amended request, requesting PUC approval of RBA tariff sheets reflecting the change to target revenues associated with the GMS Phase 1 MDMS deferred software go-live and completion of implementation through July 2021, which was approved by the PUC on December 20, 2021.
Exceptional project recovery mechanism. Under the PBR Framework, the existing MPIR adjustment mechanism was renamed EPRM to include deferred and O&M expense projects and to 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
115

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
project is in service.Any pending application for MPIR relief submitted by the Utilities prior to the PBR D&O will be grandfathered under the MPIR Guidelines. The Utilities may alternatively request that pending MPIR applications be reviewed under EPRM Guidelines. EPRM recovery will be in accordance with the EPRM Guidelines limited to the lesser of actual incurred project costs or PUC-approved amounts, net of savings. As of December 31, 2021, the PUC approved 2 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 5 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 30, 2021, the PUC solicited comments from the Parties regarding the Pilot Process Workplan filed by the Utilities on November 12, 2021. The Utilities filed their response to those comments on January 5, 2022.
Performance incentive mechanisms. The PUC has established the following PIMs.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 be re-determined upon issuanceremain constant in interim periods, unless otherwise amended by order of an interim or final order in a general rate case for each utility.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 $6.7$6.8 million - for both indices in total for the three utilities). In 2021, the Utilities accrued $0.2 million in estimated penalties for service reliability.
•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

106

each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties or rewards of approximately $1.3$1.4 million - in total for the three utilities).
In December 2018, the Utilities accrued $2.1 million in estimated penalties for service reliability, net of call center performance rewards, for 2018. As a result of a PUC order denying the exclusion of the impact of a specific project on the service reliability performance, in May 2019, Hawaiian Electric accrued an additional $1.3 million in service reliability penalties related to 2018. The net service quality performance penalties related to 2018 were reflected in the 2019 annual decoupling filing and will reduce customer rates in the period June•Phase 1 2019 through May 31, 2020.
In December 2019, the Utilities accrued $0.3 million in estimated rewards for call center performance, net of service reliability penalties, for 2019. The net service quality performance rewards related to 2019 will be reflected in the 2020 annual decoupling filing and will increase customer rates in the period June 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021.
RFP PIM. Procurement of low-cost variable renewable resources through the request for proposalRFP process in 2018 is measured by comparison of the procurement price to target prices. The incentive is a percentage of the savings determined by comparing procured price to a target of 11.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for renewable projects with storage capability and 9.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy-only renewable projects. For PPAs filed by December 31, 2018 and subsequently approved by the PUC, the incentive is 20% of the savings, with a cap of $3.5 million for the three utilities in total. For PPAs filed in January, February, and March 2019 and subsequently approved by the PUC, scaled incentives are 15%, 10% and 5%, respectively, of the savings for PPAs, with a cap of $3 million for the three utilities in total. There are 0 penalties. On March 25, 2019, the PUC approved 6 contracts, which were filed by December 31, 2018 and qualified for incentives. A seventh contract, which was filed in February 2019 and approved in August 2019, also qualified for incentives. Half of the incentive iswas earned upon PUC approval of the contract andPPAs. Based on the other half is eligible7 PPAs approved in 2019, the Utilities recognized $1.7 million in 2019 with the remaining award to be earnedrecognized in the year following the in-service date of the projects.projects, which is estimated to occur from 2023 to 2024.
•Phase 2 RFP PIMs. The Utilities accrued $1.7 million in incentives in March 2019, which were reflected in the 2019 annual decoupling filing and will be recovered in rates in the period June 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020.
OnPUC order issued on October 9, 2019 the PUC issued an order establishing PIMs for the Utilities with regards to the Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation and Energy Storage requests for proposals (RFPs) as well as the Delivery of Grid Services via Customer-sited Distributed Energy Resources RFPs, that were issued on August 22, 2019 for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii island. The order establishes pricing thresholds, timelines to complete contracting, and other performance criteria for the performance incentive eligibility. The PIMs provide incentives only without penalties. The earliestOn July 9, 2020, the Utilities would be eligiblefiled 2 Grid Service Purchase Agreements for a PIM pursuant to this order is upon PUC approval of executed contracts resulting from the Phase 2 RFPs.

ASB does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2019,2021, represent an OTTI.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. ASBASB’s investment securities portfolio did not recognize OTTIrequire an allowance for 2019, 2018 and 2017.credit losses as of 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. In addition, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay the underlying mortgages.

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

125

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


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.

* Since loan was classified as impaired.2019.
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. When a borrower experiencing financial difficulty fails to make a required payment on a loan or is in imminent default, ASB takes a number of steps to improve the collectability of the loan and maximize the likelihood of full repayment. At times, ASB may modify or restructure a loan to help a distressed borrower improve its financial position to eventually be able to fully repay the loan, provided the borrower has demonstrated both the willingness and the ability to fulfill the modified terms. TDR loans are considered an alternative to foreclosure or liquidation with the goal of minimizing losses to ASB and maximizing recovery.
ASB may consider various types of concessions in granting a TDR including maturity date extensions, extended amortization of principal, temporary deferral of principal payments, and temporary interest rate reductions. ASB rarely grants principal forgiveness in its TDR modifications. Residential loan modifications generally involve interest rate reduction, extending the amortization period, or capitalizing certain delinquent amounts owed not to exceed the original loan balance. Land loans at origination are typically structured as a three-yearthree-year term, interest-only monthly payment with a balloon payment due at maturity. Land loan TDR modifications typically involve extending the maturity date up to five fivethree years and converting the payments from interest-only to principal and interest monthly, at the same or higher interest rate. Commercial loan modifications generally involve extensions of maturity dates, extending the interest only or amortization period, and temporary deferral

or reduction of principal payments. ASB generally does not reduce the interest rate on commercial loan TDR modifications. Occasionally, additional collateral and/or guaranties are obtained.
AllThe allowance for credit losses on TDR loans that do not share risk characteristics are classified as impaired and are segregated and reviewed separately when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan lossesindividually evaluated based on the appropriate method of measuring impairment:  (1) present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective original contractual rate (2)or based on the fair value of collateral less cost to sell or (3) observable market price.sell. The financial impact of the calculated impairment amountestimated 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 loancredit losses.

If loansa loan modified in a TDR subsequently default,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 were NaNtotaled nil at December 31, 20192021 and 2018.2020.
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.

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 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:

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  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 consolidated balance sheets. ASB pledges investment securities as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase. All such agreements are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide for conditional right of set-off in case of default by either party; however, ASB presents securities sold under agreements to repurchase on a gross basis in the balance sheet.

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. The counterparties or tri-parties may determine that additional collateral is required based on movements in the fair value of the collateral. Typically, a 5 percent discount is taken from the fair value of the investment securities to determine the value of the collateral pledged for the repurchase agreements.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank. FHLB advances were NaN and $45 millionnil as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018.
2020. ASB and the FHLB are parties to an Advances, Pledge and Security Agreement (Advances Agreement), which applies to currently outstanding and future advances, and governs the terms and conditions under which ASB borrows and the FHLB makes loans or advances from time to time. Under the Advances Agreement, ASB agrees to abide by the FHLB’s credit policies, and makes certain warranties and representations to the FHLB. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an “Event of Default” (which term includes any event of nonpayment of interest or principal of any advance when due or failure to perform any promise or obligation under the Advances Agreement or other credit arrangements between the parties), the FHLB may, at its option, declare all indebtedness and accrued interest thereon, including any prepayment fees or charges, to be immediately due and payable. Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by loans, investment securities and stock in the FHLB. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, ASB’s available FHLB borrowing capacity was $2.3$2.0 billion, and $2.0$2.1 billion, respectively. In February 2020, the FHLB of Des Moines notified ASBits members that certain assets, which included high-quality home equity lines of credit that were priced off a variable index with a fixed rate option, would no longer qualify as collateral for FHLB advances, reducing ASB's totalAdvances and effective October 1, 2020, the FHLB borrowing capacity to approximately $1.5 billion. The notice included high-qualityof Des Moines no longer accepted the fixed rate portion of any home equity lines of credit and was technicalas collateral. In addition, effective July 13, 2020, the FHLB of Des Moines lowered their Loan to Value (LTV), a system-wide percentage applied to eligible pledged collateral to determine borrowing capacity, to reflect ongoing risks in nature and unrelatedthe market due to the credit qualityCOVID-19. The lower LTV reduced ASB’s collateral value of the home equityexisting pledged loans and the borrowing capacity. To increase the borrowing capacity at the FHLB of which approximately 54% are in first lien position.Des Moines, ASB pledged commercial real estate loans and is workingevaluating other assets to pledge as collateral to increase its reserve borrowing capacity with the FHLB to understand the nature of the disqualification of those assets as collateral and re-establishing eligibility.FHLB.

ASB is required to obtain and hold a specific number of shares of capital stock of the FHLB. ASB was in compliance with all Advances Agreement requirements as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018.2020.
Common stock equity.  ASB is regulated and supervised by the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on ASB’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, ASB must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of ASB’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
The prompt corrective action provisions impose certain restrictions on institutions that are undercapitalized. The restrictions imposed become increasingly more severe as an institution’s capital category declines from “undercapitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” The regulators have substantial discretion in the corrective actions that might direct and could include restrictions on dividends and other distributions that ASB may make to ASB Hawaii and the requirement that ASB develop and implement a plan to restore its capital. In 1988, HEI agreed with the OTS predecessor regulatory agency at the time, to contribute additional capital to ASB up to a maximum aggregate amount of approximately $65.1$65.1 million (Capital Maintenance Agreement). As of December 31, 2019,2021, as a result of capital contributions in prior years, HEI’s maximum obligation to contribute additional capital under the Capital Maintenance Agreement has been reduced to approximately $28.3 million.$28.3 million.
To be categorized as “well capitalized,” ASB must maintain minimum total capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB had adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework and was only required to comply with Tier 1 leverage ratio. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, ASB began reporting all of the required capital ratios as the Bank did not meet the requirements to use the community bank leverage ratio

framework. As of December 31, 2019,2021, and 20182020 ASB was in compliance with the minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations, and was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the institution’s category under the capital guidelines.

In 2019,2021, ASB paid cash dividends of $56.0$59.0 million to HEI, compared to cash dividends of $50.0$31.0 million in 2018.2020. The FRB and OCC approved the dividends.
Related-party transactions. HEI charged ASB $2.1 million, $2.3 million $2.2 million and $2.1$2.3 million for general management and administrative services in 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, respectively. The amounts charged by HEI for services performed by HEI employees to its subsidiaries are allocated primarily on the basis of time expended in providing such services. All amounts charged to ASB were settled as a capital contribution by HEI to ASB.
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.

135

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


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.

Commitments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitments. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. ASB minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by requiring that customers meet certain conditions prior to disbursing funds. The amount of collateral, if any, is based on a credit evaluation of the borrower and may include residential real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by ASB to guarantee payment and performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. ASB holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Contingency. In October 2007, ASB, as a member financial institution of Visa U.S.A. Inc., received restricted shares of Visa, Inc. (Visa) as a result of a restructuring of Visa U.S.A. Inc. in preparation for an initial public offering by Visa. As a part of the restructuring, ASB entered into a judgment and loss sharing agreement with Visa in order to apportion financial responsibilities arising from any potential adverse judgment or negotiated settlements related to indemnified litigation involving Visa. In November 2012, a federal judge granted preliminary approval to a proposed settlement between merchants and Visa over credit card fees and in December 2013, a federal judge granted final approval to the settlement. Some merchants and trade organizations filed a notice of appeal shortly after the approval was issued. As of December 31, 2019, ASB had accrued a reserve of $1.1 million related to the agreement. Because the extent of ASB’s obligations under this agreement depends entirely upon the occurrence of future events, ASB’s maximum potential future liability under this agreement is not determinable.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessment. TheThe Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) raised the minimum reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund to 1.35 percent but required the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to offset the effect of the increase in the minimum reserve ratio on small institutions (generally insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or less) when setting assessments. In September 2018, the reserve ratio reached 1.36 percent and the FDIC awarded the small institutions an assessment credit, which was applied to a portion of the 2019 second and third quarter2020 assessments for these banks. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 20172019 ASB’s FDIC insurance expenses were $1.2$3.2 million,, $2.5 $2.3 million and $2.6$1.2 million, respectively.

Certain real estate leases require the Company didto pay for operating expenses such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, which are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred and are not reassess its prior conclusions about whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, whether there is a changeincluded in the measurement of the lease classification for any expired or existing leases under the new standard, or whether there were initial direct costs for any existing leases that would be treated differently under the new standard. liability. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of its leases that qualify, and accordingly, does not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for all leases that have lease terms that are 12 months or less. The amounts related to short-term leases are not material. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate and equipment and fossil fuel and renewable energy PPAs. The Company elected the practical expedient to not assess all existing land easements that were not previously accounted for in accordance with ASC 840.
The Company leases certain real estate and equipment for various terms under long-term operating lease agreements. The agreements expire at various dates through 2054 and provide for renewal options up to 10 years. The periods associated with the renewal options are excluded for the purpose of determining the lease term unless the exercise of the renewable option is reasonably certain. In the normal course of business, it is expected that many of these agreements will be replaced by similar agreements. Certain real estate leases require the Company to pay for operating expenses such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, which are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability.
Additionally, the Utilities contract with independent power producers to supply energy under long-term power purchase agreements. Certain PPAs are treated as operating leases under the newlease standard because the Company elected the practical expedient package under which prior conclusions about lease identification were not reassessed. The fixed capacity payments under the PPAs are included in the lease liability, while the variable lease payments (e.g., payments based on kWh) are excluded from the lease liability. Several as-available PPAs have variable-only payment terms based on production. For PPAs with no minimum lease payments, the Utilities do not recognize any lease liabilities or ROU assets, and the related costs are reported as variable lease costs. In the first quarter of 2021, PGV returned to service with firm capacity of 13 MW and ramped up to 23.9 MW in the second quarter of 2021. Hawaii Electric Light is required to make fixed capacity payments based on 23.9 MW. As of December 31, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light has a total of $21 million in lease liability with a corresponding ROU asset for the PGV PPA .

HEI’s consolidated operating lease expense prior to the adoption of ASC 842 was $21 million and $20 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Utilities’ operating lease expense prior to the adoption of ASC 842 was $11 million each year for 2018 and 2017.

Note 9· Revenues
Revenue from contracts with customers. The revenues subject to Topic 606 include the Utilities’ electric energy sales revenue and the ASB’s transaction fees, as further described below.
Electric Utilities.
Electric energy sales. Electric energy sales represent revenues from the generation and transmission of electricity to customers under tariffs approved by the PUC. Transaction pricing for electricity is determined and approved by the PUC for each rate class and includes revenues from the base electric charges, which are composed of (1) the customer, demand, energy, and minimum charges, and (2) the power factor, service voltage, and other adjustments as provided in each rate and rate rider schedule. The Utilities satisfy performance obligations over time, i.e., the Utilities generate and transfer control of the electricity over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Utilities’ performance. Payments from customers are generally due within 30 days from the end of the billing period. As electric bills to customers reflect the amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Utilities’ performance to date, the Utilities have elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient, which entitles them to recognize revenue in the amount they have the right to invoice.
The Utilities’ revenues include amounts for recovery of various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the year the related revenues are recognized. For 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, the Utilities’ revenues include recovery of revenue taxes of approximately $226 million, $226$202 million and $202$226 million, respectively, which amounts are in “Taxes, other than income taxes” expense. However, the Utilities pay revenue taxes to the taxing authorities based on (1) the prior year’s billed revenues (in the case of public service company taxes and PUC fees) in the current year or (2) the current year’s cash collections from electric sales (in the case of franchise taxes) after year end. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the Utilities had recorded $132$128 million and $130$111 million, respectively, in “Taxes accrued, including revenue taxes” on the Utilities’ consolidated balance sheet for amounts previously collected from customers or accrued for public service company taxes and PUC fees, net of amounts paid to the taxing authorities. Such amounts will be used to pay public service company taxes and PUC fees owed for the following year.
Bank.
Bank fees. Bank fees are primarily transaction-based and are recognized when the transaction has occurred and the performance obligation satisfied. From time to time, customers will request a fee waiver and ASB may grant reversals of fees. Revenues are not recorded for the estimated amount of fee reversals for each period. Under the new standard, certain fees paid to third parties that were previously recognized as a component of noninterest expense are now netted with fee income. The change in presentation will have no effect on the reported amount of operating income.
Fees from other financial services - These fees primarily include debit card interchange income and fees, automated teller machine fees, credit card interchange income and fees, check ordering fees, wire fees, safe deposit rental fees, corporate/business fees, merchant income, online banking fees and international banking fees. Amounts paid to third parties for payment network expenses are included in this financial statement caption in ASB’s Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income

Data (in Revenues—Bank financial statement caption of HEI’s Consolidated Statements of Income). Previously, these expenses were recorded in the other expense financial statement caption of ASB’s Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income Data (in Expenses—Bank financial statement caption of HEI’s Consolidated Statements of Income).
Fee income on deposit liabilities - These fees primarily include “not sufficient funds” fees, monthly deposit account service charge fees, commercial account analysis fees and other deposit fees.
Fee income on other financial products - These fees primarily include commission income from the sales of annuity, mutual fund, and life insurance products. In 2017, ASB began offeringalso offers a fee-based, managed account product in which income is based on a percentage of assets under management. ASB satisfies its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Revenues from other sources. Revenues from other sources not subject to Topic 606 are accounted for as follows:
Electric Utilities.
Regulatory revenues. Regulatory revenues primarily consist of revenues from the decoupling mechanism and cost recovery surcharges and the Tax Act adjustments.surcharges.
Decoupling mechanism - Under the current decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover or obligated to refund the difference between actual revenue and the target revenue as determined by the PUC, collect annual revenue adjustment mechanism (ARA) and majorexceptional project interim recovery mechanism revenues, and recover or refund performance incentive mechanism penalties or rewards. These adjustments will be reflected in tariffs in future periods. Under the decoupling tariff approved in 2011,PBR framework, the prior year accrued RBA revenues as of the preceding September 30 balance and the annual RAMARA amount are billed from JuneJanuary 1 of each year through MayDecember 31 of the followingeach year, which is within 24 months following the end of the year in which they are recorded as required by the accounting standard for alternative revenue programs.programs (see “Regulatory proceedings” in Note 3).
Cost recovery surcharges - For the timely recovery of additional costs incurred, and reconciliation of costs and expenses included in tariffed rates, the Utilities recognize revenues under surcharge mechanisms approved by the PUC. These will be reflected in tariffs in future periods (e.g., ECRC and PPAC).
Tax Act adjustments - These represent adjustments to revenues for the amounts included in tariffed revenues that will be returned to customers as a result of the Tax Act.
Since revenue adjustments discussed above resulted from either agreements with the PUC or change in tax law, rather than contracts with customers, they are not subject to the scope of Topic 606. Also, see Notes 1, 3 and 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Utilities have elected to present these revenue adjustments on a gross basis, which results in the amounts being billed to customers presented in revenues from contracts with customers and the amortization of the related regulatory asset/liability as revenues from other sources. Depending on whether the previous deferral balance being amortized was a regulatory asset or regulatory liability, and depending on the size and direction of the current year deferral of surcharges and/or refunds to customers, it could result in negative regulatory revenue during the year.
Utility pole attachment fees. These fees primarily represent revenues from third-party companies for their access to and shared use of Utilities-owned poles through licensing agreements. As the shared portion of the utility pole is functionally dependent on the rest of the structure, no distinct goods appear to exist. Therefore, these fees are not subject to the scope of Topic 606, but recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Other Income.
Bank.
Interest and dividend income. Interest and fees on loans are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Receivables, including the related allowance for loancredit losses. Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. See Notes 1 and 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other bank noninterest income. Other bank noninterest income primarily consists of mortgage banking income and bank-owned life insurance income.
Mortgage banking income - Mortgage banking income consists primarily of realized and unrealized gains on sale of loans accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. Interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales are considered derivatives and are accounted pursuant to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) - The recognition of BOLI cash surrender value does not represent a contract with a customer and is accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-05, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount that Could be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.

Note 10 · Retirement benefits
Defined benefit plans. Substantially all of the employees of HEI and the Utilities participate in the Retirement Plan for Employees of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Participating Subsidiaries (HEI Pension Plan). Substantially all of the employees of ASB participated in the American Savings Bank Retirement Plan (ASB Pension Plan) until it was frozen on December 31, 2007. The HEI Pension Plan and the ASB Pension Plan (collectively, the Plans) are qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and include, in the case of the HEI Pension Plan, benefits for utility union employees determined in accordance with the terms of the collective bargaining agreements between the Utilities and the union. The Plans are subject to the provisions of ERISA. In addition, some current and former executives and directors of HEI and its subsidiaries participate in noncontributory, nonqualified plans (collectively, Supplemental Plans). In general, benefits are based on the employees’ or directors’ years of service and compensation.
The continuation of the Plans and the Supplemental Plans and the payment of any contribution thereunder are not assumed as contractual obligations by the participating employers. The Supplemental Plan for directors has been frozen since 1996. The ASB Pension Plan was frozen as of December 31, 2007. The HEI Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and ASB Supplemental Executive Retirement, Disability, and Death Benefit Plan (noncontributory, nonqualified, defined benefit plans) were frozen as of December 31, 2008. No participants have accrued any benefits under these plans after the respective plan’s freeze and the plans will be terminated at the time all remaining benefits have been paid.
Each participating employer reserves the right to terminate its participation in the applicable plans at any time, and HEI and ASB reserve the right to terminate their respective plans at any time. If a participating employer terminates its participation in the Plans, the interest of each affected participant would become 100% vested to the extent funded. Upon the termination of the Plans, assets would be distributed to affected participants in accordance with the applicable allocation provisions of ERISA and any excess assets that exist would be paid to the participating employers. Participants’ benefits in the Plans are covered up to certain limits under insurance provided by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
Postretirement benefits other than pensions.  HEI and the Utilities provide eligible employees health and life insurance benefits upon retirement under the Postretirement Welfare Benefits Plan for Employees of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and participating employers (Hawaiian Electric Benefits Plan). Eligibility of employees and dependents is based on eligibility to retire at termination, the retirement date and the date of hire. The plan was amended in 2011, changing eligibility for certain bargaining unit employees hired prior to May 1, 2011, based on new minimum age and service requirements effective January 1, 2012, per the collective bargaining agreement, and certain management employees hired prior to May 1, 2011 based on new eligibility minimum age and service requirements effective January 1, 2012. The minimum age and service requirements for management and bargaining unit employees hired May 1, 2011 and thereafter have increased and their dependents are not eligible to receive postretirement benefits. Employees may be eligible to receive benefits from the HEI Pension Plan but may not be eligible for postretirement welfare benefits if the different eligibility requirements are not met.
The executive death benefit plan was frozen on September 10, 2009 for participants at benefit levels as of that date.
The Company’s and Utilities’ cost for OPEB has been adjusted to reflect the plan amendments, which reduced benefits and created prior service credits to be amortized over average future service of affected participants. The amortization of the prior service credit will reduce benefit costs until the various credit bases are fully recognized. Each participating employer reserves the right to terminate its participation in the Hawaiian Electric Benefits Plan at any time.
Balance sheet recognition of the funded status of retirement plans.  Employers must recognize on their balance sheets the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans with an offset to AOCI in shareholders’ equity (using the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO), to calculate the funded status).
The PUC allowed the Utilities to adopt pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms in previous rate cases. The amount of the net periodic pension cost (NPPC) and net periodic benefits costs (NPBC) to be recovered in rates is established by the PUC in each rate case.case or as allowed under the new PBR Framework (see “Regulatory proceedings” in Note 3). Under the Utilities’ 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. Accordingly, all retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses, which amounted to $1.2 million and $1.1 million in 2021 and $1.0 million in 2019 and 2018,2020, respectively) determined in accordance with GAAP will be recovered.
Under the tracking mechanisms, amounts that would otherwise be recorded in AOCI (excluding amounts for executive life and nonqualified pension plans), net of taxes, as well as other pension and OPEB charges, are allowed to be reclassified as a
159

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
regulatory asset, as those costs will be recovered in rates through the NPPC and NPBC in the future. The Utilities have reclassified to a regulatory asset/(liability) charges for retirement benefits that would otherwise be recorded in AOCI (amounting to the elimination of a potential chargeadjustment to AOCI of $(21.8)$(230.8) million pretax and $11.2$53.7 million pretax for 20192021 and 2018,2020, respectively).

146

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


Under the pension tracking mechanism, the Utilities are required to make contributions to the pension trust in the amount of the actuarially calculated NPPC, except when limited by the ERISA minimum contribution requirements or the maximum contributions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions in excess of the calculated NPPC are recorded in a separate regulatory asset. In 2018, the pension tracking mechanism was modified to allow prior year contributions made in excess of NPPC to satisfy future contributions, when the ERISA minimum required contribution is less than NPPC. The Utilities reduced their 2018 contribution for this modification.
The OPEB tracking mechanisms generally require the Utilities to make contributions to the OPEB trust in the amount of the actuarially calculated NPBC, (excluding amounts for executive life), except when limited by material, adverse consequences imposed by federal regulations. Future decisions in rate cases could further impact funding amounts.
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information.  The changes in the obligations and assets of the Company’s and Utilities’ retirement benefit plans and the changes in AOCI (gross) for 20192021 and 20182020 and the funded status of these plans and amounts related to these plans reflected in the Company’s and Utilities’ consolidated balance sheetsheets as of December 31, 20192021 and 20182020 were as follows:

Pension benefits. In 2019,2021, investment returns were higher than assumed rates and improved the funded position. Actuarial gains due to demographic experience, including assumption changes, the most significant of which was the increase in the discount rate used to measure PBO compared to the prior year, improved funded position while the updates to mortality assumptions projected generationally, partially offset the improvement.
In 2020, investment returns were higher than assumed rates and together with updates to mortality assumptions projected generationally, improved the funded position. Actuarial losses due to demographic experience, including assumption changes, the most significant of which was the decrease in the discount rate used to measure PBO compared to the prior year, partially offset the improvement in funded position.

The dates used to determine retirement benefit measurements for the defined benefit plans and OPEB were December 31 of 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017.2019.
ForThrough December 31, 2020, for purposes of calculating NPPC and NPBC for all plan assets, the Company and the Utilities have determined the market-related value of retirement benefit plan assets, primarily equity securities and fixed income securities, by calculating the difference between the expected return and the actual return on the fair value of the plan assets, then amortizing the difference over future years – 0% in the first year and 25% in each of years two through five – and finally adding or subtracting the unamortized differences for the past four years from fair value. The method includes a 15% range restriction around the fair value of such assets (i.e., 85% to 115% of fair value). Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted a change in accounting principle for the plans’ fixed income securities from the calculated market-related value method to the fair value method in the calculation of the expected return on plan assets component of NPPC and NPBC. The remaining plan assets continue to use the calculated market-related value methodology. The Company considers the fair value approach to be preferable for its fixed-income securities portfolio because it results in a current reflection of the changes in the value of plan assets in a way similar to the obligations it is intended to hedge. The Company evaluated the effect of this change in accounting principle and deemed it to be immaterial to the historical financial statements of the Company and Hawaiian Electric and, therefore, did not account for the change retrospectively and recorded the cumulative effects from the change in accounting principle in earnings for non-Utility businesses in the first quarter of 2021. Amounts related to the Utilities were reflected as adjustments to regulatory assets as appropriate, consistent with the expected regulatory treatment as described in the following paragraph.
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.
A primary goal of the plans is to achieve long-term asset growth sufficient to pay future benefit obligations at a reasonable level of risk. The investment policy target for defined benefit pension and OPEB plans of HEI and the Utilities reflects the philosophy that long-term growth can best be achieved by prudent investments in equity securities while balancing overall fund and pension liability volatility by an appropriate allocation to fixed income securities. In order toTo reduce the level of portfolio risk and volatility in returns, efforts have been made to diversify the plans’ investments by asset class, geographic region, market capitalization and investment style. ASB’s frozen, overfunded defined benefit pension plan is invested in a portfolio that uses a liability-driven investment strategy to limit funded status volatility.

The fair values of the investments shown in the table abovetables below represent the Company’s best estimates of the amounts that would be received upon sale of those assets in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Those fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value of investments measured at net asset value presented in the tables above are intended to permit reconciliation to the fair value of plan assets amounts.
The Company used the following valuation methodologies for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 20192021 and 2018.2020.
Equity securities equity index and exchange-traded funds, U.S. Treasury fixed income securities and public mutual funds (Level 1). Equity securities, equity index and exchange-traded funds, U.S. Treasury fixed income securities and public mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities or funds are traded.

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 and dividends of HEI and its peers over the remaining three-yearthree-year performance period. The expected stock volatility assumptions for HEI and its peer group were based on the three-year historic stock volatility,volatility. A dividend assumption is not required for the Monte Carlo simulation because the grant payout includes dividend equivalents and projected returns include the annual dividend yield assumptions were based on dividend yields calculated on the basisvalue of daily stock prices over the same three-year historical period.reinvested dividends.

As of December 31, 2019, HEI consolidated and Hawaiian Electric consolidated have deferred tax assets of $8.7 million and $6.7 million respectively, relating to the benefit of state tax credit carryforwards of $11.7 million and $9 million respectively. These state tax credit carryforwards primarily relate to the West Loch PV project and do not expire. The Company concluded that as of December 31, 2019, a valuation allowance is not required.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Based upon historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not the Company and the Utilities will realize substantially all of the benefits of the deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits were NaN.nil. The Utilities are included in the consolidated federal and Hawaii income tax returns of HEI and are subject to the provisions of HEI’s tax sharing agreement, which determines each subsidiary’s (or subgroup’s) income tax return liabilities and refunds on a standalone basis as if it filed a separate return (or subgroup consolidated return).

At December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, there were $0.5$10.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the Utilities had 0$10.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Utilities’ annual effective tax rate. The Company and Utilities believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will not significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

Hawaiian Electric consolidated.The Utilities recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest expense and other charges, net” and penalties, if any, in operating expenses. In 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, the Utilities recognized approximately $0.1 million, $(0.3) million and $0.1 million, respectively, in interest expense. The Utilities had $0.4$0.1 million and $0.3$0.1 million of interest accrued as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, respectively.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, the disclosures above present the Company’s and the Utilities’ accruals for potential tax liabilities, which involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of the benefits being sustained under governmental review. While the Company and the Utilities currently do not expect material changes to occur in the next twelve months, the Company and the Utilities are generally unable to estimate the range of impacts on the balance of uncertain tax positions or the impact on the effective tax rate from the resolution of these issues until the Internal Revenue Service addresses them in the current examination process, and therefore, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit being sustained.with respect to the Company’s and the Utilities’ uncertain tax positions could increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The final resolution of uncertain tax positions could result in adjustments to recorded amounts.
Based on information currently available, the Company and the Utilities believe these accruals have adequately provided for potential income tax issues with federal and state tax authorities, and that the ultimate resolution of tax issues for all open tax periods will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
IRS examinations have been completed and settled through the tax year 2011 and theThe statute of limitations for IRS examinations has expired for years prior to 2016, leaving subsequent years subject to2017. The Company is currently under IRS examination.  Theexamination for the tax years 20112017 and subsequent are still subject to examination by2018. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company and the Hawaii Department of Taxation.Taxation agreed to a final assessment of tax liabilities for the years 2011 through 2018, however, the statute of limitations for Hawaii remains open for tax years 2017 and subsequent.
Major tax developments. The changes enacted in the 2017Tax Cuts and Jobs Act continue to impact corporate taxpayers. The following summarizes the provisions that have a major impact on the Company.
Lower tax rate. The corporate income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% lowered the Company’s effective tax rate in 2018 and the subsequent years. For the regulated Utilities, the excess ADIT resulting from the rate change is being returned to customers over various periods determined with the approval of the PUC.
Bonus depreciation. The Tax Act allows 100% bonus depreciation through the end of 2022 for qualified property purchased and placed in service after September 27, 2017. The Tax Act provides that property used in the trade or business of a regulated utility (including the furnishing or selling electrical energy) is not qualified property. However, property placed into service after September 27, 2017 are grandfathered under the pre-Tax Act rules allowing 50% bonus depreciation if subject to written binding purchase contracts prior to September 28, 2017.
Other applicable provisions. There are a number of other provisions in the Tax Act that have an impact on the Company, including the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction (DPAD), non-deductibility of transportation fringe benefits excluded from employees income, and the increased limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation.

SAB No. 118. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued SAB No. 118 to address the application of GAAP in situations
when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in
reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act.
The Company applied the guidance in SAB No. 118 when accounting for enactment date effects of the Tax Act in 2017 and throughout 2018. At December 31, 2017, the Company had not completed its re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the reduction in the US federal corporate income tax rate to 21% and, in accordance with SAB No. 118, recorded a provisional amount. The Tax Act’s reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21% resulted in a net deferred tax balance that was in excess of the taxes the Company expected to pay or be refunded in the future when the temporary differences that created these deferred taxes reverse. The excess related to the Utilities’ deferred taxes that were identified to be refunded in rates was reclassified to a regulatory liability and is currently being returned to the customers over various periods of time. The remaining excess was written off through deferred tax expense. Consequently, in 2017, the Company recorded a provisional increase in deferred tax expense of $13.4 million ($9.2 million at the Utilities). In December 2018, the end date of the measurement period for purposes of SAB No. 118 passed, and consequently, the Company (and Utilities) completed its analysis based on available Treasury and legislative guidance relating to the Tax Act.
In 2018, the Company re-measured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they were expected to reverse in the future. For the period ended December 31, 2018, the net deferred tax liabilities decreased by $13.9 million ($13.6 million at the Utilities) with the corresponding net adjustment that decreased deferred tax expense by $5.5 million ($5.2 million at the Utilities) and increased the regulatory liability by $11.3 million. The decrease in deferred tax expense is included as a component of income tax expense and had the effect of decreasing the effective tax rate in 2018 from 22.1% to 20.0% (22.2% to 19.3% at the Utilities).

Note 14 · Regulatory restrictions on net assets
The abilities of certain of HEI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI are subject to contractual and regulatory restrictions. Under the PUC Agreement, in the event that the consolidated common stock equity of the electric utility subsidiaries falls below 35% of the total capitalization of the electric utilities (including the current maturities of long-term debt, but excluding short-term borrowings), the electric utility subsidiaries would, absent PUC approval, be restricted in their payment of cash dividends to 80% of the earnings available for the payment of dividends in the current fiscal year and preceding five years, less the amount of dividends paid during that period. The PUC Agreement also provides that the foregoing dividend restriction shall not be construed as relinquishing any right the PUC may have to review the dividend policies of the electric utility subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the consolidated common stock equity of HEI’s electric utility subsidiaries was 56%57% of their total capitalization (as calculated for purposes of the PUC Agreement). As of December 31, 2019,2021, Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries had common stock equity of $2.0$2.3 billion of which approximately $825$919 million was not available for transfer to HEI in the form of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval.
The ability of ASB to make capital distributions to HEI and other affiliates is restricted under federal law. Subject to a limited exception for stock redemptions that do not result in any decrease in ASB’s capital and would improve ASB’s financial condition, ASB is prohibited from declaring any dividends, making any other capital distributions, or paying a management fee to a controlling person if, following the distribution or payment, ASB would be deemed to be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. ASB is required to notify the FRB and OCC prior to making any capital distribution (including dividends) to HEI (through ASB Hawaii). All dividends are subject to review by the OCC and FRB and
173

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 ASB Hawaii and HEI. Generally, the FRB and OCC may disapprove or deny ASB’s request to make a capital distribution if the proposed distribution will cause ASB to become undercapitalized, or the proposed distribution raises

159

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


safety and soundness concerns, or the proposed distribution violates a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement between ASB and the OCC. As of December 31, 2019,2021, in order to maintain its “well-capitalized” position, ASB could not transfer approximately $487$232 million of net assets to HEI.
HEI and its subsidiaries are also subject to debt covenants, preferred stock resolutions and the terms of guarantees that could limit their respective abilities to pay dividends. The Company does not expect that the regulatory and contractual restrictions applicable to HEI and/or its subsidiaries will significantly affect the operations of HEI or its ability to pay dividends on its common stock.

Note 15 · Significant group concentrations of credit risk
Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in the State of Hawaii.
The Utilities are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai in the State of Hawaii. The Utilities provide the only electric public utility service on the islands they serve. The Utilities extend credit to customers, all of whom reside or conduct business in the State of Hawaii. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Utilities’ major customers. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1260 represents roughly half of the Utilities’ workforce covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires on October 31, 2021.2024.
Most of ASB’s financial instruments are based in the State of Hawaii, except for the investment securities it owns. Substantially all real estate loans are collateralized by real estate in Hawaii. ASB’s policy is to require mortgage insurance on all real estate loans with a loan to appraisal ratio in excess of 80% at origination.
Pacific Current’s investments are in projects located in the State of Hawaii since its strategy is focused on investing in non-regulated renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii.
Note 16 · 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.
174

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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

160

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


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.
ImpairedCollateral dependent loans. At the timeCollateral dependent loans have been adjusted to fair value. When a loan is considered impaired, it is valued atidentified as collateral dependent, the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined primarily byCompany measures the impairment using an income, cost or market approach and is normally provided through appraisals. Impaired loans carried atthe current fair value generally receive specific allocations withinof the allowance forcollateral, less selling costs. Depending on the characteristics of a loan, losses. For collateral-dependent loans,the fair value of collateral is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. Thesegenerally estimated by obtaining external appraisals, may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales andbut in some cases, the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments typically result in a Level 3 classificationvalue of the inputs for determining faircollateral 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. Generally, impaired loans are evaluated quarterly for additionalIf it is determined that the value of the collateral dependent loan is less than its recorded investment, the Company recognizes this impairment and adjusted accordingly.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“Revenues - bank"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.
Deposit liabilitiesTime 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 of HEI and the Utilitiesdebt—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-otherdebt—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
175

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 following table presents the carrying or notional amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments. For stock in Federal Home Loan Bank, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because it can only be redeemed at par.

Mortgage revenue bonds are issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii. The Company estimates the fair value by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments. The unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the weighted average discount rate. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the weighted average discount rate was 3.41%2.07% 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 December 31, 2021, there were no financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20192021 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.2021.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20192021 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 20192021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
