Company Guidance
During the third quarter of 2024, First Hawaiian Inc. provided detailed financial guidance and economic insights. The statewide unemployment rate in Hawaii was 2.9%, compared to the national rate of 4.1%. Despite a 2.2% drop in visitor arrivals and a 2.3% decrease in spending compared to the previous year, Hawaii's economy showed resilience. The median sales price for single-family homes on Oahu increased by 6% to $1.1 million, while condo prices fell by 2.8% to $518,000. The bank's deposit balances remained stable, with costs rising by only 1 basis point. Unexpected loan payoffs resulted in a $119 million reduction in total loans, but credit quality remained strong. Noninterest income increased to $53.3 million, supported by higher credit and debit card fees, and BOLI income. The net interest margin (NIM) was up by 3 basis points, with net interest income at $156.7 million. The bank released $3.8 million of tax reserves, which had no impact on net income. The asset allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased by $3.2 million to $163.7 million. Looking forward, First Hawaiian plans to resume share repurchases in the fourth quarter due to strong capital levels.
Stable Deposit Costs
Deposit balances flattened out, and deposit costs were up only 1 basis point from the second quarter.
Margin Expansion
Net interest income increased by $3.9 million quarter-over-quarter, with the margin up 3 basis points due to asset repricing and stable deposit costs.
Strong Capital Levels
The balance sheet remains well-capitalized with strong earnings and favorable AOCI change, allowing for resumption of share repurchases.
Solid Credit Performance
Credit risk metrics remained strong with increased classified assets, but potential for loss was extremely limited.
Controlled Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses were up $4.1 million due to a tax reserve adjustment, but excluding this, expenses were flat.
