$45.8 million reflects after-tax goodwill impairment of$66.1 million in connection with HEI’s ongoing review of strategic options for ASB -
Excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment, and excluding after-tax
Maui wildfire-related expenses of$0.3 million , ASB’s core net income1 for the second quarter was$20.7 million , compared to$20.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and$20.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 - Non-cash goodwill impairment has no impact on ASB’s liquidity or ability to serve customers’ financial needs
- Net interest margin expanded to 2.79%, up 4 basis points from the prior quarter
-
Strong credit quality and another release of reserves reflect healthy
Hawaii economy
“The bank’s core operations and earnings remain strong, and in the second quarter ASB improved profitability and grew core net income2 compared to the same quarter last year,” said
“Over the last year, HEI has been advancing a strategy designed to support a strong, financially healthy enterprise that will empower a thriving future for Hawaii,” said
Teranishi continued, “In connection with HEI’s ongoing evaluation, the bank recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge that reflects management’s analysis of our bank’s market valuation. This non-cash charge has no impact on ASB’s liquidity or ASB’s ability to serve our customers’ financial needs. We remain focused on taking care of Hawaii’s residents, businesses and communities as we have for nearly 100 years.”
There is no set timetable for HEI’s comprehensive review of strategic options for ASB, and there can be no assurances that any actions regarding ASB will result from this evaluation. Neither HEI nor ASB expect to disclose or provide an update concerning developments related to this process unless or until HEI’s Board of Directors has approved a definitive course of action or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

Explanation of ASB’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures
HEI and ASB management use certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI and the bank.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies’ core operating activities. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP1 earnings to non-GAAP core earnings and returns on average equity and average assets for the bank.
The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to core earnings are limited to the costs related to the
