FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric) and their subsidiaries contain “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and usually include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:

• | the successful and timely completion of the proposed Merger with NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE), which could be materially and adversely affected by, among other things, resolving the litigation brought in connection with the proposed Merger, obtaining (and the timing and terms and conditions of) required governmental and regulatory approvals, and ability to maintain relationships with employees, customers or suppliers, as well as the ability to integrate the businesses;

• | the ability of ASB to operate successfully after the Spin-Off of its parent ASB Hawaii;

• | international, national and local economic conditions, including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries, the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets (including the fair value and/or the actual performance of collateral underlying loans held by American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), which could result in higher loan loss provisions and write-offs), decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii, the 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 developments (including global economic conditions and uncertainties, unrest, ongoing conflicts in North Africa and the Middle East, terrorist acts, potential conflict or crisis with North Korea or Iran, developments in the Ukraine and potential pandemics);

• | the effects of future actions or inaction of the U.S. government or related agencies, including those related to the U.S. debt ceiling and monetary policy;

• | weather and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, lava flows and the potential effects of climate change, such as more severe storms and rising sea levels), including their impact on the Company's and Utilities' operations and the economy;

• | the timing and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve;

• | the ability of the Company and the Utilities to access the credit and capital markets (e.g., to obtain commercial paper and other short-term and long-term debt financing, including lines of credit, and, in the case of HEI, to issue common stock) under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the cost of such financings, if available;

• | the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension and other retirement plan assets and ASB’s securities available for sale;

• | changes in laws, regulations, market conditions and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements;

• | the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) and of the rules and regulations that the Dodd-Frank Act requires to be promulgated;

• | increasing competition in the banking industry (e.g., increased price competition for deposits, or an outflow of deposits to alternative investments, which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds);

• | the PUC’s potential delay in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI)-related costs; reliance by the Utilities on outside parties such as the state, independent power producers (IPPs) and developers; potential changes in political support for the HCEI; and uncertainties surrounding solar power, wind power, proposed undersea cables, biofuels, environmental assessments and the impacts of implementation of the HCEI on future costs of electricity);

• | the ability of the Utilities to develop, implement and recover the costs of implementing the Utilities’ action plans and business model changes that are being developed in response to the four orders that the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) issued in April 2014, in which the PUC: directed the Utilities to develop, among other things, Power Supply Improvement Plans, a Demand Response Portfolio Plan and a Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan; described the PUC’s inclinations on the future of Hawaii’s electric utilities and the vision, business strategies and regulatory policy changes required to align the Utilities’ business model with customer interests and the state’s public policy goals; and emphasized the need to “leap ahead” of other states in creating a 21st century generation system and modern transmission and distribution grids;

• | capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management (DSM), distributed generation (DG), combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;

• | fuel oil price changes, delivery of adequate fuel by suppliers and the continued availability to the electric utilities of their energy cost adjustment clauses (ECACs);

• | the continued availability to the electric utilities of other cost recovery mechanisms, including the purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs), rate adjustment mechanisms (RAMs) and pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, and the continued decoupling of revenues from sales to mitigate the effects of declining kilowatthour sales;

• | the impact of fuel price volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the Utilities;

iv

• | the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;

• | the growing risk that energy production from renewable generating resources may be curtailed and the interconnection of additional resources will be constrained as more generating resources are added to the Utilities' electric systems and as customers reduce their energy usage;

• | the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);

• | the potential that, as 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;

• | the ability of the Utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable agreements for significant resources such as fuel supply contracts and collective bargaining agreements;

• | new technological developments that could affect the operations and prospects of HEI and ASB or their competitors;

• | new technological developments, such as the commercial development of energy storage and microgrids, that could affect the operations of the Utilities;

• | cyber security risks and the potential for cyber incidents, including potential incidents at HEI, ASB and the Utilities (including at ASB branches and electric utility plants) and incidents at data processing centers they use, to the extent not prevented by intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-virus software, firewalls and other general information technology controls;

• | federal, state, county and international governmental and regulatory actions, such as existing, new and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI, the Utilities and ASB (including changes in taxation, increases in capital requirements, regulatory policy changes, environmental laws and regulations (including resulting compliance costs and risks of fines and penalties and/or liabilities), the regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, governmental fees and assessments (such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments), and potential carbon “cap and trade” legislation that may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation);

• | developments in laws, regulations, and policies governing protections for historic, archaeological, and cultural sites, and plant and animal species and habitats, as well as developments in the implementation and enforcement of such laws, regulations, and policies;

• | discovery of conditions that may be attributable to historical chemical releases, including any necessary investigation and remediation, and any associated enforcement, litigation, or regulatory oversight;

• | decisions by the PUC in rate cases and other proceedings (including the risks of delays in the timing of decisions, adverse changes in final decisions from interim decisions and the disallowance of project costs as a result of adverse regulatory audit reports or otherwise);

• | decisions by the PUC and by other agencies and courts on land use, environmental and other permitting issues (such as required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, such as with respect to environmental conditions or renewable portfolio standards (RPS));

• | potential enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and/or other governmental authorities (such as consent orders, required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, for example, with respect to compliance deficiencies under existing or new banking and consumer protection laws and regulations or with respect to capital adequacy);

• | the ability of the Utilities to recover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by RAMs;

• | the risks associated with the geographic concentration of HEI’s businesses and ASB’s loans, ASB’s concentration in a single product type (i.e., first mortgages) and ASB’s significant credit relationships (i.e., concentrations of large loans and/or credit lines with certain customers);

• | changes in accounting principles applicable to HEI, the Utilities and ASB, including the adoption of new U.S. accounting standards, the potential discontinuance of regulatory accounting and the effects of potentially required consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) or required capital lease accounting for PPAs with IPPs;

• | changes by securities rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and the results of financing efforts;

• | 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 profile and asset quality which may increase or decrease the required level of provision for loan losses, allowance for loan losses and charge-offs;

• | changes in ASB’s deposit cost or mix which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds;

• | the final outcome of tax positions taken by HEI, the Utilities and ASB;

• | the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured (e.g., damages to the Utilities’ transmission and distribution system and losses from business interruption) or underinsured (e.g., losses not covered as a result of insurance deductibles or other exclusions or exceeding policy limits); and

• | other risks or uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and in other reports (e.g., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K) previously and subsequently filed by HEI and/or Hawaiian Electric with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, HEI, Hawaiian Electric, ASB and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1 · Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In the opinion of HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state the Company’s and Hawaiian Electric’s financial position as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Prior period financial statements reflect the retrospective application of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-01, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects,” which was adopted as of January 1, 2015 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. See “Investments in qualified affordable housing projects” in Note 11.
2 · Proposed Merger
On December 3, 2014, HEI, NextEra Energy, Inc., a Florida corporation (NEE), NEE Acquisition Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (Merger Sub II) and NEE Acquisition Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (Merger Sub I), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement provides for Merger Sub I to merge with and into HEI (the Initial Merger), with HEI surviving, and then for HEI to merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (the Merger). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and be tax-free to HEI shareholders.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of HEI common stock will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.2413 shares of common stock of NEE (the Exchange Ratio). No adjustment to the Exchange Ratio is made in the Merger Agreement for any changes in the market prices of either HEI or NEE common stock between December 3, 2014 and the closing of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, HEI will distribute to its shareholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ASB Hawaii, the direct parent company of ASB (such distribution referred to as the Spin-Off), with ASB Hawaii becoming a new public company. In addition, the Merger Agreement contemplates that, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, HEI will pay its shareholders a special dividend of $0.50 per share.
The closing of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval of holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of HEI common stock, (ii) effectiveness of the registration statement for the NEE common stock to be issued in the Initial Merger and the listing of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange, (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period, (iv) receipt of all required regulatory approvals from, among others, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Federal Communications Commission and the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, (v) the absence of any law or judgment in effect or pending in which a governmental entity has imposed or is seeking to impose a legal restraint that would prevent or make illegal the closing of the Merger, (vi) the absence of any material adverse effect with respect to either HEI or NEE, (vii) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of, and compliance with covenants by, each of the parties to the Merger Agreement, (viii) receipt by each of HEI and NEE of a tax opinion of its counsel regarding the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ix) effectiveness of the ASB Hawaii registration statement necessary to consummate the Spin-Off, and (x) the determination by each of HEI and NEE that, upon completion of the Spin-Off, HEI will no longer be a savings and loan holding company or be deemed to control ASB for purposes of the Home Owners' Loan Act. The Spin-Off will be subject to various conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB).
10

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of HEI and NEE.
HEI is also subject to a “no shop” restriction that limits its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals, provide information or engage in discussion with third parties, except under limited circumstances to permit HEI’s board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both HEI and NEE, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been consummated by December 3, 2015 (subject to a 6-month extension if required to obtain necessary regulatory approvals), and further provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, HEI or NEE, as the case may be, would be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $90 million and reimburse the other party for up to $5 million of its documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement.
On March 26, 2015, NEE’s Form S-4, which registers NEE common stock expected to be issued in the Initial Merger, was declared effective. Also on March 26, 2015, HEI filed its special meeting proxy statement for the vote on the merger proposal and related matters, which meeting was scheduled for May 12, 2015. On May 12, 2015, HEI shareholders approved a proposal to adjourn the special meeting of the shareholders to extend the deadline for shareholder voting on the proposed merger agreement with NEE. Thus, the special meeting was adjourned on May 12, 2015 and reconvened on June 10, 2015. Shareholders approved the proposed merger agreement with NextEra Energy on June 10, 2015.
On March 30, 2015, ASB Hawaii filed its Form 10, the registration statement for ASB Hawaii shares expected to be distributed in the Spin-Off.
On August 7, 2015, each of HEI and NEE filed their respective notifications pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, with the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission. The filings initiated a 30-day waiting period, which is scheduled to expire on September 8, 2015.
PUC application. In January 2015, NEE and Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC requesting approval of the proposed Merger of Hawaiian Electric. The application also requests modification of certain conditions agreed to by HEI and the PUC in 1982 for the merger and corporate restructuring of Hawaiian Electric, and confirmation that with approval of the Merger Agreement, the recommendations in the 1995 Dennis Thomas Report (resulting from a proceeding to review the relationship between HEI and Hawaiian Electric and any impact of HEI’s then diversified activities on the Utilities) will no longer be applicable. The application includes a commitment that, for at least four years following the completion of the transaction, Hawaiian Electric will not submit any applications seeking a general base rate increase and will forego recovery of the incremental operations and maintenance rate adjustment under decoupling during that period, which amounts to approximately $60 million in cumulative savings for customers, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, including that the following remain in effect: the RBA tariff provisions, the Rate Base RAM, the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program, and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Surcharge, the IRP/DSM Recovery tariff provisions, the energy cost adjustment clause (ECAC) tariff provisions, the PPA tariff provision and the Pension and OPEB tracker mechanism. Various parties, including governmental, environmental and commercial interests, have been allowed to intervene in the proceeding.
Twenty-eight interveners filed testimonies in the docket in July 2015. Eleven interveners recommended the merger not be approved, eleven recommended approval only with conditions, and six did not specifically make a recommendation either way. The Consumer Advocate is scheduled to file its testimonies on August 10, 2015, and the applicants are scheduled to file their responsive testimonies on August 31, 2015. Evidentiary hearings are scheduled from November 30 to December 16, 2015.
Other requests. On January 29, 2015, HEI submitted its application to the FERC requesting all necessary authorization to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The FERC issued its order authorizing the proposed merger on March 27, 2015.
On February 1, 2015, HEI submitted a letter to the FRB requesting deregistration as a Savings & Loan Holding Company (SLHC).
Pending litigation and other matters.
Litigation. HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings that arise from time to time. Some of these proceedings may seek relief or damages in amounts that may be substantial. Because these proceedings are complex, many years may pass before they are resolved, and it is not feasible to predict their outcomes. Some of these proceedings involve claims HEI and Hawaiian Electric believe may be covered by insurance, and HEI and Hawaiian Electric have advised their insurance carriers accordingly.
Since the D ecember 3, 2014 announcement of the merger agreement, eight purported class action complaints were filed in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit for the State of Hawaii by alleged stockholders of HEI against HEI, Hawaiian Electric (in
11

one complaint), the individual directors of HEI, NEE and NEE's acquisition subsidiaries. The lawsuits are captioned as follows: Miller v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-1-2531-12 KTN (December 15, 2014) (the Miller Action); Walsh v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-1-2541-12 JHC (December 15, 2014) (the Walsh Action); Stein v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-1-2555-12 KTN (December 17, 2014) (the Stein Action); Brown v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-1-2643-12 RAN (December 30, 2014) (the Brown Action); Cohn v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-1-2642-12 KTN (December 30, 2014) (the Cohn State Action); Guenther v. Watanabe, et al., Case No. 15-1-003-01 ECN (January 2, 2015) (the Guenther Action); Hudson v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 15-1-0013-01 JHC (January 5, 2015) (the Hudson Action); Grieco v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 15-1-0094-01 KKS (January 21, 2015) (the Grieco Action). On January 12, 2015, plaintiffs in the Miller Action, the Walsh Action, the Stein Action, the Brown Action, the Guenther Action, and the Hudson Action filed a motion to consolidate their actions and to appoint co-lead counsel. The Court held a hearing on this motion on February 13, 2015 and granted consolidation and appointment of co-lead counsel on March 6, 2015. On March 10, 2015, plaintiffs in the consolidated state action filed an amended complaint, and added J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC (JP Morgan), which was HEI’s financial advisor for the Merger, as a defendant. On March 17, 2015, plaintiffs in the consolidated state action moved for limited expedited discovery. After limited discovery, the parties in the consolidated state action stipulated and the Court ordered that the deadline for defendants to respond to the amended complaint is extended indefinitely. On April 30, 2015, the Court consolidated the seven state actions under the caption, In re Consolidated HEI Shareholder Cases. On January 23, 2015, the Cohn State Action was voluntarily dismissed. Thereafter, the same alleged stockholder plaintiff filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii against HEI, the individual directors of HEI, NEE and NEE's acquisition subsidiaries. The lawsuit is captioned as Cohn v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. et al., 15-cv-00029-JMS-KSC (January 27, 2015) (the Cohn Federal Action).
The actions allege, among other things, that members of HEI's Board breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed transaction, and that the Merger Agreement involves an unfair price, was the product of an inadequate sales process, and contains unreasonable deal protection devices that purportedly preclude competing offers. The complaints further allege that HEI, NEE and/or its acquisition subsidiaries aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits seek, among other things, (i) a declaration that the Merger Agreement was entered into in breach of HEI's directors' fiduciary duties, (ii) an injunction enjoining the HEI Board from consummating the Merger, (iii) an order directing the HEI Board to exercise their duties to obtain a transaction which is in the best interests of HEI's stockholders, (iv) a rescission of the Merger to the extent that it is consummated, and/or (v) damages suffered as a result of the defendants' alleged actions. Plaintiffs in the consolidated state action also allege that JP Morgan had a conflict of interest in advising HEI because JP Morgan and its affiliates had business ties to and investments in NEE. The consolidated state action also alleges that the HEI board of directors violated its fiduciary duties by omitting material facts from the Registration Statement on Form S-4. In addition, the Cohn Federal Action alleges that the HEI board of directors violated its fiduciary duties and federal securities laws by omitting material facts from the Registration Statement on Form S-4.
HEI and Hawaiian Electric believe the allegations of the complaints are without merit and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously.

Intercompany electricity sales of the Utilities to the bank and “other” segments are not eliminated because those segments would need to purchase electricity from another source if it were not provided by the Utilities, the profit on such sales is nominal and the elimination of electric sales revenues and expenses could distort segment operating income and net income for common stock.
Bank fees that ASB charges the Utilities and “other” segments are not eliminated because those segments would pay fees to another financial institution if they were to bank with another institution, the profit on such fees is nominal and the elimination of bank fee income and expenses could distort segment operating income and net income for common stock.

4 · Electric utility segment
Revenue taxes. The Utilities’ revenues include amounts for the recovery of various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the period the related revenues are recognized. However, the Utilities’ revenue tax payments to the taxing authorities in the period are based on the prior year’s billed revenues (in the case of public service company taxes and PUC fees) or on the current year’s cash collections from electric sales (in the case of franchise taxes). The Utilities included in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 approximately $50 million, $64 million, $101 million and $129 million, respectively, of revenue taxes in “revenues” and in “taxes, other than income taxes” expense.
Recent tax developments. The Utilities adopted the safe harbor guidelines with respect to network assets in 2011 and, in June 2013, the IRS released a revenue procedure relating to deductions for repairs of generation property, which provides some guidance (that is elective) for taxpayers that own steam or electric generation property. This guidance defines the relevant components of generation property to be used in determining whether such component expenditures should be deducted as repairs or capitalized and depreciated by taxpayers. The revenue procedure also provides an extrapolation methodology that could be used by taxpayers in determining deductions for prior years’ repairs without going back to the specific documentation of those years. The guidance does not provide specific methods for determining the repairs amount. Management intends to adopt a method consistent with this guidance in its 2014 tax return.
Unconsolidated variable interest entities.
HECO Capital Trust III. HECO Capital Trust III (Trust III) 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. The 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable at the maturity of the underlying debt on March 18, 2034, which maturity may be extended to no later than March 18, 2053; and are currently redeemable at the issuer’s option without premium. The 2004 Debentures, together with the obligations of the Utilities under an expense agreement and Hawaiian Electric’s obligations under its trust guarantee and its guarantee of the obligations of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric under their respective debentures, are the sole assets of Trust III. Taken together, Hawaiian Electric’s obligations under the Hawaiian Electric debentures, the Hawaiian Electric indenture, the subsidiary guarantees, the trust agreement, the expense agreement and trust guarantee provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payments of amounts due on the Trust Preferred Securities. Trust III has at all times been an unconsolidated subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric. Since Hawaiian Electric, as the holder of 100% of the trust common securities, does not absorb the majority of the variability of Trust III, Hawaiian Electric is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate Trust III in accordance with accounting rules on the consolidation of VIEs. Trust III’s balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 each consisted of $51.5 million of 2004 Debentures; $50.0 million of 2004 Trust Preferred Securities; and $1.5 million of trust common securities. Trust III’s income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 each consisted of $1.7 million of interest income received from the 2004 Debentures; $1.6 million of distributions to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities; and $50,000 of common dividends on the trust common securities to Hawaiian Electric. As long as the 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are outstanding, Hawaiian Electric is not entitled to receive any funds from Trust III other than pro-rata distributions, subject to certain subordination provisions, on the trust common securities. In the event of a default by Hawaiian Electric in the performance of its obligations under the 2004 Debentures or under its Guarantees, or in the event any of the Utilities elect to defer payment of interest on any of their respective 2004 Debentures, then Hawaiian Electric will be subject to a number of restrictions, including a prohibition on the payment of dividends on its common stock.
Power purchase agreements. As of June 30, 2015, the Utilities had six purchase power agreements (PPAs) for firm capacity and other PPAs with smaller IPPs and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or small power production facilities with a capacity of 100 kilowatts (kWs) or less who buy power from or sell power to the Utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs. Approximately 90% of the firm capacity is purchased from AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii), Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), Hamakua Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) and HPOWER. Purchases from all IPPs were as follows:
14

|  | Three months ended June 30 |  | Six months ended June 30
(in millions) |  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
AES Hawaii |  | $ | 26 |  |  | $ | 36 |  |  | $ | 60 |  |  | $ | 69 |
Kalaeloa |  | 48 |  |  | 74 |  |  | 92 |  |  | 141 |
HEP |  | 10 |  |  | 8 |  |  | 21 |  |  | 20 |
HPOWER |  | 16 |  |  | 16 |  |  | 32 |  |  | 32 |
Other IPPs |  | 49 |  |  | 54 |  |  | 80 |  |  | 91 |
Total IPPs |  | $ | 149 |  |  | $ | 188 |  |  | $ | 285 |  |  | $ | 353 |

Some of the IPPs provided sufficient information for Hawaiian Electric to determine that the IPP was not a VIE, or was either a “business” or “governmental organization,” and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. Other IPPs declined to provide the information necessary for Hawaiian Electric to determine the applicability of accounting standards for VIEs.
Since 2004, Hawaiian Electric has continued its efforts to obtain from the IPPs the information necessary to make the determinations required under accounting standards for VIEs. In each year from 2005 to 2014, the Utilities sent letters to the identified IPPs requesting the required information. All of these IPPs declined to provide the necessary information, except that Kalaeloa later agreed to provide the information pursuant to the amendments to its PPA (see below) and an entity owning a wind farm provided information as required under its PPA. Management has concluded that the consolidation of two entities owning wind farms was not required as Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric do not have variable interests in the entities because the PPAs do not require them to absorb any variability of the entities. If the requested information is ultimately received from the remaining IPPs, a possible outcome of future analyses of such information is the consolidation of one or more of such IPPs in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the 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.
Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. In October 1988, Hawaiian Electric entered into a PPA with Kalaeloa, subsequently approved by the PUC, which provided that Hawaiian Electric would purchase 180 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity for a period of 25 years beginning in May 1991. In October 2004, Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa entered into amendments to the PPA, subsequently approved by the PUC, which together effectively increased the firm capacity from 180 MW to 208 MW. The energy payments that Hawaiian Electric makes to Kalaeloa include: (1) a fuel component, with a fuel price adjustment based on the cost of low sulfur fuel oil, (2) a fuel additives cost component, and (3) a non-fuel component, with an adjustment based on changes in the Gross National Product Implicit Price Deflator. The capacity payments that Hawaiian Electric makes to Kalaeloa are fixed in accordance with the PPA. Kalaeloa also has a steam delivery cogeneration contract with another customer, the term of which coincides with the PPA. The facility has been certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as a Qualifying Facility under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
Pursuant to the current accounting standards for VIEs, Hawaiian Electric is deemed to have a variable interest in Kalaeloa by reason of the provisions of Hawaiian Electric’s PPA with Kalaeloa. However, management has concluded that Hawaiian Electric is not the primary beneficiary of Kalaeloa because Hawaiian Electric does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Kalaeloa’s economic performance nor the obligation to absorb Kalaeloa’s expected losses, if any, that could potentially be significant to Kalaeloa. Thus, Hawaiian Electric has not consolidated Kalaeloa in its consolidated financial statements. A significant factor affecting the level of expected losses Hawaiian Electric could potentially absorb is the fact that Hawaiian Electric’s exposure to fuel price variability is limited to the remaining term of the PPA as compared to the facility’s remaining useful life. Although Hawaiian Electric absorbs fuel price variability for the remaining term of the PPA, the PPA does not currently expose Hawaiian Electric to losses as the fuel and fuel related energy payments under the PPA have been approved by the PUC for recovery from customers through base electric rates and through Hawaiian Electric’s ECAC to the extent the fuel and fuel related energy payments are not included in base energy rates. As of June 30, 2015, Hawaiian Electric’s accounts payable to Kalaeloa amounted to $14 million.
Commitments and contingencies.
Fuel contracts. The Utilities have contractual agreements to purchase minimum quantities of fuel oil, diesel fuel and biodiesel for multi-year periods, some through October 2017. Fossil fuel prices are tied to the market prices of crude oil and petroleum products in the Far East and U.S. West Coast and the biodiesel price is tied to the market prices of animal fat feedstocks in the U.S. West Coast and U.S. Midwest.

Updates. On August 27, 2014, Chevron Products Company (Chevron) and Hawaiian Electric entered into a first amendment of their Low Sulfur Fuel Oil Supply Contract, which was approved by the PUC in March 2015. The Amendment reduces the price of fuel above certain volumes, allows for increases in the volume of fuel, and modifies the specification of certain petroleum products supplied under the contract. In addition, Chevron agreed to supply a blend of low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and diesel as soon as January 2016 (for supply through the end of the contract term, December 31, 2016) to help Hawaiian Electric meet more stringent EPA air emission requirements known as Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
The Utilities are parties to amended contracts for the supply of industrial fuel oil and diesel fuels with Chevron and Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC (HIE), respectively, which were scheduled to end December 31, 2015. In August 2014, Chevron and the Utilities entered into a third amendment to the Inter-Island Industrial Fuel Oil and Diesel Fuel Supply Contract, which amendment extended the term of the contract through December 31, 2016 and provided for automatic renewal for annual terms thereafter unless earlier terminated by either party. In February 2015, Hawaiian Electric executed a similar extension, through December 31, 2016, of the corresponding Inter-Island Industrial Fuel Oil and Diesel Fuel Supply Contract with HIE.
In June 2015, the Utilities issued Requests for Proposals (RFP) for most of their fuel needs with supplies beginning in 2017 after the expiration of Chevron LSFO and Chevron/HIE Interisland contracts on December 31, 2016. Proposals were received in July 2015 and new contracts, which would be subject to PUC approval, are expected to be executed by December 31, 2015.
AES Hawaii, Inc. Under a PPA entered into in March 1988, as amended, for a period of 30 years beginning September 1992, Hawaiian Electric agreed to purchase 180 MW of firm capacity from AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii). In August 2012, Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC seeking an exemption from the PUC’s Competitive Bidding Framework to negotiate an amendment to the PPA to purchase 186 MW of firm capacity, extend the PPA term until 2032, and amend the energy pricing formula in the PPA. The PUC approved the exemption in April 2013, and Hawaiian Electric has been in negotiations with AES Hawaii; however, Hawaiian Electric and AES Hawaii have not reached agreement on an amendment. In June 2015, AES Hawaii filed an arbitration demand regarding a dispute about whether Hawaiian Electric was obligated to buy up to 9 MW of additional capacity based on a 1992 letter. Hawaiian Electric believes the claim asserted in the arbitration demand is without merit. Hawaiian Electric has responded to the arbitration demand. Management cannot predict the outcome of the arbitration proceeding.
Liquefied natural gas. On May 31, 2015 the previous August 2014 agreement with Fortis BC Energy Inc. (Fortis) for liquefaction capacity for liquefied natural gas (LNG) was superseded with a liquefaction Heads of Agreement by and between FortisBC Holdings Inc. and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. The agreement, which is subject to Hawaii PUC approval, other regulatory approvals and permits, and other conditions precedent before it becomes effective, provides for LNG liquefaction capacity purchases of 700,000 tonnes per year for the first five years, 600,000 tonnes per year for the next five years, and 500,000 tonnes per year for the last ten years. Fortis must also obtain regulatory and other approvals for the agreement to become effective. The Fortis agreement is assignable and can be assigned to the selected bidder in the Utilities’ RFP for the supply of containerized LNG and will help ensure that liquefaction capacity is available at pricing that management believes will lower customer bills.
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. In recent years, legislative, regulatory and governmental activities related to the environment, including proposals and rulemaking under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act (CWA), have increased significantly and management anticipates that such activity will continue.
On August 14, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register the final regulations required by section 316(b) of the CWA designed to protect aquatic organisms from adverse impacts associated with existing power plant cooling water intake structures. The regulations were effective October 14, 2014 and apply to the cooling water systems for the steam generating units at Hawaiian Electric’s power plants on the island of Oahu. The regulations prescribe a process, including a number of required site-specific studies, for states to develop facility-specific entrainment and impingement controls to be incorporated in each facility’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. In the case of Hawaiian Electric’s power plants, there are a number of studies that have yet to be completed before Hawaiian Electric and the State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) can determine what entrainment or impingement controls, if any, might be necessary at the affected facilities to comply with the new 316(b) rule.
On February 16, 2012, the Federal Register published the EPA’s final rule establishing the EPA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for fossil-fuel fired steam electrical generating units (EGUs). The final rule, known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), applies to the 14 EGUs at Hawaiian Electric’s power plants. MATS establishes the Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants emissions from new and existing EGUs. Based on a review of the final rule and the benefits and costs of alternative compliance strategies, Hawaiian
16

Electric has selected a MATS compliance strategy based on switching to lower emission fuels. The use of lower emission fuels will provide for MATS compliance at lower overall costs and avoid the reduction in operational flexibility imposed by emissions control equipment. Hawaiian Electric requested and received a one-year extension, resulting in a MATS compliance date of April 16, 2016. Hawaiian Electric submitted to the EPA a Petition for Reconsideration and Stay dated April 16, 2012, and a Request for Expedited Consideration dated August 14, 2013. The submittals asked the EPA to revise an emissions standard for non-continental oil-fired EGUs on the grounds that the promulgated standard was incorrectly derived. The Petition and Request submittals to the EPA included additional data to demonstrate that the existing standard is erroneous. On April 21, 2015, the EPA issued a notice denying Hawaiian Electric's MATS Petition for Reconsideration along with all other pending MATS petitions. Hawaiian Electric is now pursuing judicial relief through an appeal of EPA’s denial of the Petition. On June 29, 2015, the United State Supreme Court found that the EPA’s determination that it was appropriate and “necessary” to regulate hazardous air pollutants from power plants was flawed because the EPA did not take the costs of compliance into account. The Supreme Court sent the MATS rule case back to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for further proceedings. The likely timeframe for action by the Circuit Court is October 2015. Pending action by the Circuit Court, Hawaiian Electric will continue with its plan to comply with the MATS requirements by April 16, 2016.
On February 6, 2013, the EPA issued a guidance document titled “Next Steps for Area Designations and Implementation of the Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard,” which outlines a process that will provide the states additional flexibility and time for their development of one-hour sulfur dioxide (SO 2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) implementation plans. In May 2014, the EPA published a proposed data requirements rule for states to characterize their air quality in relation to the one-hour SO 2 NAAQS. Under the proposed rule, the EPA expects to designate areas as attaining, or not attaining, the one-hour SO 2 NAAQS in December 2017 or December 2020, depending on whether the area was characterized through modeling or monitoring. Hawaiian Electric will work with the DOH in implementing the one-hour SO 2 NAAQS and in developing cost-effective strategies for NAAQS compliance, if needed.
Depending upon the rules and guidance developed for compliance with the more stringent NAAQS, the Utilities may be required to incur material capital expenditures and other compliance costs, but such amounts and their timing are not determinable at this time. Additionally, the combined effects of the CWA 316(b) regulations, the MATS rule and the more stringent NAAQS may contribute to a decision to retire or deactivate certain generating units earlier than anticipated.
Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, periodically encounter petroleum or other chemical releases into the environment 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 adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Potential Clean Air Act Enforcement. On July 1, 2013, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) asserting potential violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V requirements of the Clean Air Act involving the Hill and Kahului Power Plants. The EPA referred the matter to the DOJ for enforcement based on Hawaii Electric Light’s and Maui Electric’s responses to information requests in 2010 and 2012. The letter expresses an interest in resolving the matter without the issuance of a notice of violation. The parties had preliminary discussions in February 2014, and are continuing to negotiate toward a resolution of the DOJ’s claims. As part of the ongoing negotiations, the DOJ proposed in November 2014 entering into a consent decree pursuant to which the Utilities would install certain pollution controls and pay a penalty. The Utilities are currently reviewing the proposal, but are unable to estimate the amount or effect of a consent decree, if any, at this time.
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 EPA has since performed Brownfield assessments of the Site that identified environmental impacts in the subsurface. Although Maui Electric never operated at the Site and operations there had stopped four years before the merger, in discussions with the EPA and the DOH, Maui Electric agreed to undertake additional investigations at the Site and an adjacent parcel that Molokai Electric Company had used for equipment storage (the Adjacent Parcel) to determine the extent of impacts of subsurface contaminants. A 2011 assessment by a Maui Electric contractor of the Adjacent Parcel identified environmental impacts, including elevated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the subsurface soils. In cooperation with the DOH and EPA, Maui Electric is further investigating the Site and the Adjacent Parcel to determine the extent of impacts of PCBs, residual fuel oils, and other subsurface contaminants. In March 2012, Maui Electric accrued an additional $3.1 million (reserve balance of $3.6 million as of June 30, 2015) for the additional investigation and estimated cleanup costs at the Site and the Adjacent Parcel; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the results of continued investigation. Maui Electric received the DOH’s and EPA’s comments on a draft site investigation plan for site characterization in the fourth quarter of 2013. Management concluded that these comments did not require a change to the reserve balance. The site investigation plan was revised to address the EPA’s and DOH’s comments. The final site investigation plan was submitted to the DOH and
17

EPA in December 2014 for their review and approval. The DOH and EPA are currently reviewing the final site investigation plan. Maui Electric is awaiting formal agency approval of this plan before commencing the site investigation.
Pearl Harbor sediment study. The U.S. Navy has completed a remedial investigation and is currently conducting a feasibility study for the remediation of contaminated sediment at several locations in Pearl Harbor. In the course of its study, the Navy identified elevated levels of PCBs in the sediment in East Loch of Pearl Harbor, offshore from the Waiau Power Plant. The results of the Navy’s study to date, including sampling data and possible remediation approaches, are undergoing further federal review. Hawaiian Electric submitted comments on the Navy’s study, including the further investigation and analyses that are necessary to identify appropriate remedial options and actions.
In July 2014, the Navy notified Hawaiian Electric of the Navy’s determination that Hawaiian Electric is responsible for cleanup of the area offshore of the Waiau Power Plant. The Navy has also requested that Hawaiian Electric reimburse the costs incurred by the Navy to date to investigate the area, and is asking Hawaiian Electric to engage in negotiations regarding the financing and undertaking of future response actions to address the sediment contamination offshore from the Waiau Power Plant. The extent of the contamination, the appropriate remedial measures to address it, and Hawaiian Electric’s potential responsibility for any associated costs, including any past costs incurred by the Navy, have not yet been determined. In December 2014, Hawaiian Electric recorded a reserve of $0.8 million for additional investigation of the PCBs in the sediment offshore from the Waiau Power Plant; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the results of the additional investigation. On March 23, 2015, Hawaiian Electric received from the EPA a letter requesting that Hawaiian Electric submit within 45 days a work plan to assess potential sources and extent of PCB contamination onshore at the Waiau Power Plant. Hawaiian Electric submitted a sampling and analysis work plan to the EPA and the State Department of Health; the work plan is currently being reviewed by the regulators. The extent of the onshore contamination, the appropriate remedial measures to address it, and any associated costs have not yet been determined.
Hawaiian Electric has also conducted a search for other potential sources of sediment contamination in the Waiau area that are unrelated to electric power generation at its Waiau Power Plant. A potential source was identified east of the plant. This potential source, located on the property currently occupied by the City and County (C&C) of Honolulu’s Neal S. Blaisdell Park, is a former Naval Reserve site where a used drum storage area, a waste oil burning pit, and an oil/water separator were operated by the Navy from the 1940s until approximately 1963. To further assess this former Naval Reserve site, Hawaiian Electric has requested environmental investigation reports, environmental data, and permits for this property and the adjacent Waimalu Stream (e.g., dredging permits and related environmental impact assessments and studies) from several federal and state agencies, as well as the C&C of Honolulu. The contribution of PCBs to sediment contamination in East Loch from this potential source has not yet been determined.
Global climate change and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. National and international concern about climate change and the contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels) to climate change have led to action by the State and to federal legislative and regulatory proposals to reduce GHG emissions.
In July 2007, 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, became law in Hawaii. On June 20, 2014, the Governor signed the final regulations required to implement Act 234 and the regulations went into effect on June 30, 2014. In general, the regulations will require affected sources that have the potential to emit GHGs in excess of established thresholds to reduce GHG emissions by 16% below 2010 emission levels by 2020. The regulations will also assess affected sources an annual fee based on tons per year of GHG emissions commencing on the effective date of the regulations, estimated to be approximately $0.5 million annually for the Utilities. The DOH GHG regulations also track the federal “Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule” (GHG Tailoring Rule, see below) and would create new thresholds for GHG emissions from new and existing stationary source facilities. State of Hawaii Act 234 requires a statewide reduction of GHG emissions by January 1, 2020 to levels at or below the statewide GHG emission levels in 1990. The state GHG regulations were effective on June 30, 2014. In general, the state GHG regulations require entities that have the potential to emit GHGs in excess of established thresholds to reduce GHG emissions by 16 percent below 2010 emission levels by 2020. The latest assessment of the proposed federal and final state GHG rules is that the continued growth in renewable power generation will significantly reduce the compliance costs and risk for the Utilities.
Several approaches (e.g., “cap and trade”) to GHG emission reduction have been either introduced or discussed in the U.S. Congress; however, no federal legislation has yet been enacted.
On September 22, 2009, the EPA issued its Final Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, which requires that sources emitting GHGs above certain threshold levels monitor and report GHG emissions. The Utilities have submitted the required reports for 2010 through 2013 to the EPA. In December 2009, the EPA made the finding that motor vehicle GHG
18

emissions endanger public health or welfare. Since then, the EPA has also issued rules that begin to address GHG emissions from stationary sources, like the Utilities’ EGUs.
In June 2010, the EPA issued its GHG Tailoring Rule covering the permitting of new or modified stationary sources that have the potential to emit GHGs in greater quantities than the thresholds set forth in the rule, under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program. On June 23, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that invalidated the GHG Tailoring Rule, to the extent it regulated sources based solely on their GHG emissions. It also invalidated the GHG emissions threshold for regulation.
On December 19, 2014, the EPA released two memoranda outlining the Agency’s plan for addressing the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric are evaluating the potential impacts of the Agency’s plan on utility operations and permitting. On January 8, 2014, the EPA published in the Federal Register its new proposal for New Source Performance Standards for GHG from new generating units. The proposed rule on GHG from new EGUs does not apply to oil- fired combustion turbines or diesel engine generators, and is not otherwise expected to have significant impacts on the Utilities.
On June 18, 2014, the EPA published in the Federal Register its proposed rule for GHG emissions (i.e., carbon emission) from existing power plants. The proposed rule, known as the Clean Power Plan, sets interim and final state-wide, state-specific emission performance goals, expressed as lb CO2/MWh, that would apply to the state’s affected sources. The interim goal would apply as an average over the period 2020 through 2029, with the final goal to be met by 2030. On the same date, the EPA also published a separate rule for modified and reconstructed power plants. On August, 3, 2015, the EPA released the final version of the Clean Power Plan, which sets carbon emission standards for fossil fuel fired electric generating units at power plants and carbon emission reduction goals for states. The final Clean Power Plan specifically exempts power plants in Hawaii, including those of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries, as well as power plants in Alaska, Guam and Puerto Rico.
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 DSM programs that foster energy efficiency, using renewable resources for energy production and purchasing power from IPPs generated by renewable resources, burning renewable biodiesel in Hawaiian Electric’s Campbell Industrial Park combustion turbine No. 1 (CIP CT-1), using biodiesel for startup and shutdown of selected Maui Electric generating units, and testing biofuel blends in other Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electric generating units. The Utilities are also working with the State of Hawaii and other entities to pursue the use of liquefied natural gas as a cleaner and lower cost fuel to replace, at least in part, the petroleum oil that would otherwise be used. Management is unable to evaluate the ultimate impact on the Utilities’ operations of eventual comprehensive GHG regulation. However, management believes that the various initiatives it is undertaking will provide a sound basis for managing the Utilities’ carbon footprint and meeting GHG reduction goals that will ultimately emerge.
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 or hurricanes), sea levels, and water availability and quality have the potential to materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the Utilities. For example, severe weather could cause significant harm to the Utilities’ physical facilities.
Asset retirement obligations. Asset retirement obligations (AROs) represent legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain tangible long-lived assets, are measured as the present value of the projected costs for the future retirement of specific assets and are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Utilities’ recognition of AROs have no impact on their earnings. The cost of the AROs is recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by the Utilities relate to obligations to retire plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
Hawaiian Electric has recorded estimated AROs related to removing retired generating units at its Honolulu and Waiau power plants. These removal projects are ongoing, with significant activity and expenditures occurring in 2014 in partial settlement of these liabilities. Both removal projects are expected to continue through 2015.

Decoupling. In 2010, the PUC issued an order approving decoupling, which was implemented by Hawaiian Electric on March 1, 2011, by Hawaii Electric Light on April 9, 2012 and by Maui Electric on May 4, 2012. Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to facilitate meeting the State of Hawaii’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. The decoupling model implemented in Hawaii delinks revenues from sales and includes annual rate adjustments for certain other operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses and rate base changes. The decoupling mechanism has three components: (1) a sales decoupling component via a revenue balancing account (RBA), (2) a revenue escalation component via a RAM and (3) an earnings sharing mechanism, which would provide for a reduction of revenues between rate cases in the event the utility exceeds the return on average common equity (ROACE) allowed in its most recent rate case. Decoupling provides for more timely cost recovery and earning on investments, and has resulted in an improvement in the Utilities’ under-earning situation that had existed prior to the implementation of decoupling.
On May 31, 2013, as provided for in its original order issued in 2010 approving decoupling and citing three years of implementation experience for Hawaiian Electric, the PUC opened an investigative docket to review whether the decoupling mechanisms are functioning as intended, are fair to the Utilities and their ratepayers, and are in the public interest. The PUC affirmed its support for the continuation of the sales decoupling (RBA) mechanism and stated its interest in evaluating the RAM to ensure it provides the appropriate balance of risks, costs, incentives and performance requirements, as well as administrative efficiency, and whether the current interest rate applied to the outstanding RBA balance is reasonable. In October 2013, the PUC issued orders that bifurcated the proceeding (into Schedule A and Schedule B issues). On February 7, 2014, the PUC issued a decision and order (D&O) on the Schedule A issues, which made certain modifications to the decoupling mechanism. Specifically, the D&O required:

• | An adjustment to the Rate Base RAM Adjustment to include 90% of the amount of the current RAM Period Rate Base RAM Adjustment that exceeds the Rate Base RAM Adjustment from the prior year, to be effective with the Utilities’ 2014 decoupling filing.

• | Effective March 1, 2014, the interest rate to be applied on the outstanding RBA balances to be the short term debt rate used in each Utilities last rate case (ranging from 1.25% to 3.25%), instead of the 6% that had been previously approved.

As required, the Utilities have made available to the public, on the Utilities’ websites, performance metrics identified by the PUC. The Utilities are updating the performance metrics on a quarterly basis.
On March 31, 2015, the PUC issued an Order (the March Order) related to the Schedule B portion of the proceeding to make certain further modifications to the decoupling mechanism, and to establish a briefing schedule with respect to certain issues in the proceeding. The March Order modified the RAM portion of the decoupling mechanism to be capped at the lesser of the RAM Revenue Adjustment as currently determined (adjusted to eliminate the 90% limitation on the current RAM Period Rate Base RAM adjustment that was ordered in the Schedule A portion of the proceeding) and a RAM Revenue Adjustment calculated based on the cumulative annual compounded increase in Gross Domestic Product Price Index (GDPPI) applied to the 2014 annualized target revenues (adjusted for certain items specified in the Order). The 2014 annualized target revenues represent the target revenues from the last rate case, and RAM revenues, offset by earnings sharing credits, if any, allowed under the decoupling mechanism through the 2014 decoupling filing. The Utilities may apply to the PUC for approval of recovery of revenues for Major Projects (including related baseline projects grouped together for consideration as Major Projects) through the RAM above the RAM cap or outside of the RAM through the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP) surcharge or other adjustment mechanism. The RAM was amended on an interim basis pending the outcome of the PUC’s review of the Utilities’ Power Supply Improvement Plans. The triennial rate case cycle required under the decoupling mechanism continues to serve as the maximum period between the filing of general rate cases, and the amendments to the RAM do not limit or dilute the ordinary opportunities for the Utilities to seek rate relief according to conventional/traditional ratemaking procedures.
20

In making the modifications to the RAM Adjustment, the PUC stated the changes are designed to provide the PUC with control of and prior regulatory review over substantial additions to baseline projects between rate cases. The modifications do not deprive the Utilities of the opportunity to recover any prudently incurred expenditure or limit orderly recovery for necessary expanded capital programs.
The RBA, which is the sales decoupling component, was retained by the PUC in its March Order, and the PUC made no change in the authorized return on common equity. The PUC stated that performance-based ratemaking is not adopted at this time.
In accordance with the March Order, the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate filed on June 15, 2015, their Joint Proposed Modified REIP Framework/Standards and Guidelines regarding the eligibility of projects for cost recovery above the RAM Cap through the REIP surcharge. On the same date, the Utilities filed their proposed standards and guidelines on the eligibility of projects for cost recovery through the RAM above the RAM cap. On June 30, 2015, the Consumer Advocate filed comments on this proposal, and the County of Hawai‘i filed comments on both the REIP and the RAM above the RAM Cap proposals.
On May 28, 2015, the PUC issued an Order (the May Order) related to the Utilities’ revised annual decoupling filing for tariffed rates submitted on April 15, 2015. The May Order ruled on the specific matters identified by the PUC in its information requests and by the Consumer Advocate in its Statement of Position. As a result of the May Order, on June 3, 2015, the Utilities filed revised tariff rates reflecting a reduction to the RAM portion of the tariff filing. The revision was made primarily to adjust the RAM to reflect reduced operations and maintenance expenses associated with the Utilities’ change in estimate related to the allocation of indirect costs implemented in 2014, and to exclude the GDPPI factor on the depreciation expense portion for the calculation of the 2015 RAM Cap. The May Order also requires a one-time adjustment to customers for the impact of bonus tax depreciation enacted in December 2014 on the RAM revenues used for the 2014 tariff filing.
The revised 2015 annual incremental RAM revenues for the Utilities amounts to $11.1 million compared to the $26.2 million filed on April 15, 2015 and the $31.6 million filed on March 31, 2015 based on the methodology prior to its modification in the March Order. The tariffed rates, which became effective on June 8, 2015, also include the collection or refund of the accrued RBA balance and associated revenue taxes as of December 31, 2014 and any accrued earnings sharing mechanism credits. The net refund to be provided by the three Utilities under the revised tariffs amounts to $0.4 million, compared to a collection of $14.7 million under the tariffs filed on April 15, 2015. Below is a summary of the 2015 incremental impact by company.

($ in millions) |  | Hawaiian Electric |  | Hawaii Electric Light |  | Maui Electric
Annual incremental RAM adjusted revenues |  | $ | 8.1 |  |  | $ | 1.5 |  |  | $ | 1.5 |

As required by the March Order, the Parties filed initial and reply briefs related to the following issues: (1) whether, and if so, how the conventional performance incentive mechanisms proposed in this proceeding should be refined and implemented in this docket; (2) what are the appropriate steps, processes and timing for determining measures to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the general rate case filing and review process; and (3) what are the appropriate steps, processes, and timing to further consider the merits of the proposed changes to the ECAC identified in this proceeding. In identifying the issue on possible changes to the ECAC, the PUC stated that changes to the ECAC should be made with great care to avoid unintended consequences.
The May Order indicates the PUC will review the change in estimate related to the allocation of indirect costs in a separate docket, and that the change will remain subject to adjustment pending the outcome of the review. Management cannot predict the outcome of this review or the further outcome of this proceeding or the ultimate impact of the proceeding on the results of operation of the Utilities or the net financial impact on the Utilities and HEI.
Potential impact of lava flows. In June 2014, lava from the Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii began flowing toward the town of Pahoa. Hawaii Electric Light monitored utility property and equipment near the affected areas and protected that
21

property and equipment to the extent possible (e.g., building barriers around poles). In March 2015 Hawaii Electric Light filed an application with the PUC requesting approval to defer costs incurred by the Company to monitor, prepare for, respond to, and take other actions necessary in connection with the June 2014 Kilauea lava flow such that the Company can request PUC approval to recover those costs in a future rate case. The PUC approved a procedural schedule for this application and the parties are currently conducting discovery.
April 2014 regulatory orders. In April 2014, the PUC issued four orders that collectively address certain key policy, resource planning and operational issues for the Utilities. The four orders are as follows:
Integrated Resource Planning. The PUC did not accept the Utilities’ Integrated Resource Plan and Action Plans submission, and, in lieu of an approved plan, has commenced other initiatives to enable resource planning. The PUC also terminated the Utilities’ integrated resource planning (IRP) cycle, including the filing of a mid-cycle evaluation report, and formally concluded the IRP advisory group. The PUC directed each of Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electric to file within 120 days its respective Power Supply Improvement Plans (PSIPs), and the PSIPs were filed in August 2014. The PUC also provided its inclinations on the future of Hawaii’s electric utilities in an exhibit to the order. The exhibit provides the PUC’s perspectives on the vision, business strategies and regulatory policy changes required to align the Utilities’ business model with customers’ interests and the state’s public policy goals.
Reliability Standards Working Group. The PUC ordered the Utilities (and in some cases the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC)) to take timely actions intended to lower energy costs, improve system reliability and address emerging challenges to integrate additional renewable energy. In addition to the PSIPs mentioned above, the PUC ordered certain filing requirements which include the following:

• | Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan to be filed within 120 days. The Utilities’ Plan was filed in August 2014.

• | Plan to implement an on-going distribution circuit monitoring program to measure real-time voltage and other power quality parameters to be filed within 60 days. The plan shall achieve full implementation of the distribution circuit monitoring program within 180 days. The Utilities’ Plan was filed in June 2014.

• | Action Plan for improving efficiencies in the interconnection requirements studies to be filed within 30 days. The Utilities’ Plan was filed in May 2014.

• | The Utilities are to file monthly reports providing details about interconnection requirements studies.

• | Proposal to implement an integrated interconnection queue for each distribution circuit for each island grid to be filed within 120 days. The Utilities’ integrated interconnection queue plan was filed in August 2014 and the integrated interconnection queues were implemented in January 2015.

The PUC also stated it would be opening new dockets to address (1) reliability standards, (2) the technical, economic and policy issues associated with distributed energy resources and (3) the Hawaii electricity reliability administrator, which is a third party position which the legislature has authorized the PUC to create by contract to provide support for the PUC in developing and periodically updating local grid reliability standards and procedures and interconnection requirements and overseeing grid access and operation.
Policy Statement and Order Regarding Demand Response Programs. The PUC provided guidance concerning the objectives and goals for demand response programs, and ordered the Utilities to develop within 90 days an integrated Demand Response Portfolio Plan that will enhance system operations and reduce costs to customers. The Utilities’ Plan was filed in July 2014. In August 2014, the PUC invited public comment on the Utilities’ Plan. The Utilities submitted a status update in October 2014, and a second status update was filed with the PUC in March 2015. On July 28, 2015, the PUC issued an order appointing a special advisor to guide, monitor, and review the Utility’s Plan design and implementation.
Maui Electric Company 2012 Test Year Rate Case. The PUC acknowledged the extensive analyses provided by Maui Electric in its System Improvement and Curtailment Reduction Plan (SICRP) filed in September 2013. The PUC stated that it is encouraged by the changes in Maui Electric’s operations that have led to a significant reduction in the curtailment of renewables, but stated that Maui Electric has not set forth a clearly defined path that addresses integration and curtailment of additional renewables. The PUC directed Maui Electric to present a PSIP within 120 days to address present and future system operations so as to not only reduce curtailment, but to optimize the operation of its system for its customers’ benefit. The Maui Electric PSIP was filed in August 2014, and will be reviewed by the PUC in a new docket along with the Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Electric Light PSIPs. Maui Electric filed its first annual SICRP status update in September 2014.
Review of PSIPs. Collectively, the PUC’s April 2014 resource planning orders confirm the energy policy and operational priorities that will guide the Utilities’ strategies and plans going forward.
PSIPs for Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light (updating its Power Supply Plan filed in April 2014) were filed in August 2014. The PSIPs each include a tactical plan to transform how electric utility services will be offered to meet customer needs and produce higher levels of renewable energy. Each plan contains a diversified mix of technologies,
22

including significant distributed and utility‑scale renewable resources, that is expected to result, on a consolidated basis, in over 65% of the Utilities’ energy being produced from renewable resources by 2030. Under these plans, the Utilities will support sustainable growth of rooftop solar, expand use of energy storage systems, empower customers by developing smart grids, offer new products and services to customers (e.g., community solar, microgrids and voluntary “demand response” programs), switch from high-priced oil to lower cost liquefied natural gas, retire higher-cost, less efficient existing oil-based steam generators, and lower full service residential customer bills in real dollars.
The PSIPs will be reviewed by the PUC in a new docket, and a number of parties have moved to intervene in the proceeding. In September 2014, the PUC invited the public to comment on the PSIPs. In October 2014, the Utilities filed responses to information requests on the PSIPs from the PUC.
Transitional Distributed Generation Tariff. Consistent with their Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan, on January 20, 2015, the Utilities filed a motion which requested the PUC in pertinent part to:
(1) Reinstitute a program capacity threshold for the Utilities' existing Net Energy Metering (NEM) program;
(2) Approve the Utilities’ proposal to address both existing NEM program participants and those customers presently awaiting interconnection approval under the existing NEM program;
(3) Approve a new Transitional Distributed Generation (TDG) tariff to be available to customers seeking interconnection after the NEM program capacity is reached, which tariff more fairly allocates fixed grid costs to DG customers and credits customers for the value of the excess energy produced by their systems; and
(4) Approve a new standard form TDG contract to allow for the advanced technical capabilities required to integrate higher levels of distributed generation.
Once the requests in the motion are approved, it is contemplated that the Utilities will be able to increase existing circuit penetration limits based upon daytime minimum load, and identify strategic and cost effective investments to circuits and the system to support increased levels of DG. Such investments would be made for the benefit of all customers rather than charging costs only to those installing DG systems on the circuit.
The Utilities had requested approval of their motion within 60 days of filing or by March 20, 2015. However, pursuant to the PUC order described in the following section, the PUC declined to rule on this request.
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Investigative Proceeding. Consistent with the PUC’s plan to review the technical, economic and policy issues associated with distributed energy resources as noted in the Reliability Standards Working Group order, in March 2015, the PUC issued an order to address DER issues. The PUC order:

(1) | Allowed intervention to ten parties in the proceeding,

(2) | Consolidated portions of two other proceedings related to rules on interconnection of distributed generating facilities with the Utilities system,

(3) | Declined to rule on distributed generation interconnection plan filed in August 2014 as a result of the Reliability Standards Working Group order,

(4) | Declined to rule on Utilities’ TDG motion, filed on January 20, 2015, and instead, directed the parties to collaborate on a “Transition Plan” from existing DER programs, including NEM, to a longer-term DER market structure;

(5) | Ordered the parties to collaborate on issues through a series of bi-weekly technical sessions;

(6) | Issued a Statement of Issues and a Procedural Schedule for the docket that directs the parties to file stipulations on areas of agreement, or separate statements of positions on issues where agreement cannot be reached, by June 29, 2015; and

(7) | Ordered the Utilities to submit weekly reports documenting progress on clearing interconnection applications, and monthly reports on the status of key technical developments to enable DER market growth.

In addition, the PUC provided further clarifications and guidance from their Staff’s perspective on important issues relating to the growth of DER in the State.
On June 29, 2015, the Utilities submitted their final Statement of Position in the DER proceeding, which included:

(1) | new pricing provisions for future rooftop PV systems,

(2) | technical standards for advanced inverters,

(3) | new options for customers including battery-equipped rooftop PV systems,

23

(4) | a pilot time-of-use rate,

(5) | an improved method of calculating the amount of rooftop PV that can be safely installed, and

(6) | a streamlined and standardized PV application process.

Management cannot predict the outcome of the proceedings to review the Plans submitted in response to the PUC’s April 2014 resource planning orders, the DER Investigative Proceeding or the ultimate impact of the proceedings on the results of operations of the Utilities.

The unrealized losses on ASB’s investments in mortgage-related securities and obligations issued by federal agencies were caused by interest rate movements. Because ASB does not intend to sell the securities and has determined it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, ASB did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
The fair values of ASB’s investment securities could decline if interest rates rise or spreads widen.
U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations have contractual terms to maturity. Mortgage-related 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.The contractual maturities of available-for-sale investment securities were as follows:

June 30, 2015 |  | Amortized cost |  | Fair value

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 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 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 PD Model rating, the LGD, 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 the Bank 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.

Troubled debt restructurings. A loan modification is deemed to be a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) when ASB grants a concession it would not otherwise consider were it not for the borrower’s financial difficulty. 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-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 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 amortization period, and temporary deferral of
42

principal payments. ASB generally does not reduce the interest rate on commercial loan TDR modifications. Occasionally, additional collateral and/or guaranties are obtained.
All TDR loans are classified as impaired and are segregated and reviewed separately when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses 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) fair value of collateral less cost to sell, or (3) observable market price. The financial impact of the calculated impairment amount 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 loan losses.
Loan modifications that occurred and the impact on the allowance for loan losses were as follows:

There were no loans modified in TDRs that experienced a payment default of 90 days or more in the second quarter of 2015 and six months ended June 30, 2015, and for which the payment of default occurred within one year of the modification.
If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, 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 impaired or modified in TDRs totaled $0.1 million at June 30, 2015.
Mortgage servicing rights. In its mortgage banking business, ASB sells residential mortgage loans to government-sponsored entities and other parties, who may issue securities backed by pools of such loans. ASB retains no beneficial interests in these sales, but may retain the servicing rights of the loans sold.
Mortgage servicing fees, a component of other income, net, were $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The carrying values of mortgage servicing assets were as follows:

(in thousands) |  | Gross carrying amount |  | Accumulated amortization |  | Valuation allowance |  | Net carrying amount
June 30, 2015 |  | $ | 29,182 |  |  | $ | (16,880 | ) |  | $ | (37 | ) |  | $ | 12,265 |
June 30, 2014 |  | 26,357 |  |  | (14,578 | ) |  | (174 | ) |  | 11,605 |

ASB capitalizes mortgage servicing rights acquired through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans for sale with servicing rights retained. Changes in mortgage interest rates impact the value of ASB’s mortgage servicing rights. Rising interest rates typically result in slower prepayment speeds in the loans being serviced for others, which increases the value of mortgage servicing rights, whereas declining interest rates typically result in faster prepayment speeds which decrease the value of mortgage servicing rights and increase the amortization of the mortgage servicing rights.
Key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the bank’s mortgage servicing rights were as follows:

(dollars in thousands) |  | June 30, 2015 |  |  | December 31, 2014 |
Unpaid principal balance |  | $ | 1,467,492 |  |  | $ | 1,391,030 |
Weighted average note rate |  | 4.02 | % |  | 4.07 | %
Weighted average discount rate |  | 9.5 | % |  | 9.6 | %
Weighted average prepayment speed |  | 11.0 | % |  | 9.5 | %

The sensitivity analysis of fair value of MSR to hypothetical adverse changes of 25 and 50 basis points in certain key assumptions is as follows:

(dollars in thousands) |  | June 30, 2015 |  |  | December 31, 2014 |
Prepayment rate: |  |  |  |
25 basis points adverse rate change |  | $ | (814 | ) |  | $ | (757 | )
50 basis points adverse rate change |  | (1,537 | ) |  | (1,524 | )
Discount rate: |  |  |  |
25 basis points adverse rate change |  | (132 | ) |  | (140 | )
50 basis points adverse rate change |  | (262 | ) |  | (278 | )

The effect of a variation in certain assumptions on fair value is calculated without changing any other assumptions. This analysis typically cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the changes in the fair value of MSRs typically is not linear.
Other borrowings. 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 balance sheet. 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 following tables present information about the securities sold under agreements to repurchase, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties:

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 risk 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.
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.
The notional amount and fair value of ASB’s derivative financial instruments were as follows:

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). ASB’s unfunded commitments to fund its LIHTC investment partnerships were $8.6 million and $14.8 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These unfunded commitments were unconditional and legally binding and are recorded in other liabilities with a corresponding increase in other assets. Cash contributions and payments made on commitments to LIHTC investment partnerships are classified as operating activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2015, ASB did not have any impairment losses resulting from forfeiture or ineligibility of tax credits or other circumstances related to its LIHTC investment partnerships.
Contingencies. In March 2011, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the First Circuit Court of the state of Hawaii by a customer who claimed that ASB had improperly charged overdraft fees on debit card transactions. ASB filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the basis that ASB’s overdraft practices are governed by federal regulations established for federal savings banks which preempt the customer’s state law claims. In July 2011, the Circuit Court denied ASB's motion without prejudice and ASB appealed that decision. ASB's appeal is pending before the Hawaii Supreme Court. However, in December 2014, through a voluntary mediation process, ASB reached a tentative settlement of the claims. The tentative settlement, which received final court approval on May 21, 2015, provided for a payment of $2.0 million into a class settlement fund, the proceeds of which would be used to refund class members and pay attorneys’ fees and administrative and other costs, in exchange for a complete release of all claims asserted against ASB. The $2.0 million settlement amount was fully reserved by ASB in December 2014 and paid into the settlement fund in January 2015.
6 · Retirement benefits
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information. For the first six months of 2015, the Company contributed $44 million ($43 million by the Utilities) to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans, compared to $30 million ($29 million by the Utilities) in the first six months of 2014. The Company’s current estimate of contributions to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2015 is $88 million ($86 million by the Utilities, $2 million by HEI and nil by ASB), compared to $60 million ($59 million by the Utilities, $1 million by HEI and nil by ASB) in 2014. In addition, the Company expects to pay directly $2 million ($1 million by the Utilities) of benefits in 2015, compared to $2 million ($1 million by the Utilities) paid in 2014.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pension Protection Act) signed into law on August 17, 2006, amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Among other things, the Pension Protection Act changed the funding rules for qualified pension plans. On Aug ust 8, 2014, President Obama signed the latest change to the Pension Protection Act, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA). HATFA resulted in an increase of the Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage (AFTAP) for benefit distribution purposes and eased funding requirements effective with the 2014 plan year (a plan sponsor could have elected to apply the provisions of HATFA to 2013, but the Company did not so elect). As a result, the minimum funding requirements for the HEI Retirement Plan under ERISA are less than the net periodic cost for 2014 and 2015. To satisfy the requirements of the Utilities pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms, the Utilities contributed the net periodic cost in 2014 and expect to contribute the net periodic cost in 2015.
The Pension Protection Act provides that if a pension plan’s funded status falls below certain levels, more conservative assumptions must be used to value obligations under the pension plan. The HEI Retirement Plan met the threshold requirements in each of 2013 and 2014 so that the more conservative assumptions did not apply for either 2014 or 2015. Other factors could cause changes to the required contribution levels.

HEI consolidated recorded retirement benefits expense of $18 million ($15 million by the Utilities) and $17 million ($16 million by the Utilities) in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and charged the remaining net periodic benefit cost primarily to electric utility plant.
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, these retirement benefit costs that are over/under amounts allowed in rates are charged/credited to a regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset/liability for each utility will be amortized over 5 years beginning with the issuance of the PUC’s D&O in the respective utility’s next rate case.
Defined contribution plans information. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, the Company’s expense for its defined contribution pension plans under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP) and the ASB 401(k) Plan was $2.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and cash contributions were $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, the Utilities’ expense for its defined contribution pension plan under the HEIRSP was $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and cash contributions were $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

7 · Share-based compensation
Under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended, HEI can issue shares of common stock as incentive compensation to selected employees in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and other share-based and cash-based awards. The 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (original EIP) was amended and restated effective March 1, 2014 (EIP) and an additional 1.5 million shares was added to the shares available for issuance under these programs.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately 3.5 million shares remained available for future issuance under the terms of the EIP (assuming recycling of shares withheld to satisfy minimum statutory tax liabilities relating to EIP awards), including an estimated 0.8 million shares that could be issued upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the achievement of performance goals for awards outstanding under long-term incentive plans (assuming that such performance goals are achieved at maximum levels).
Under the 2011 Nonemployee Director Stock Plan (2011 Director Plan), HEI can issue shares of common stock as compensation to nonemployee directors of HEI, Hawaiian Electric and ASB. As of June 30, 2015, there were 141,044 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2011 Director Plan.
Share-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit were as follows:

|  | Three months ended June 30 |  | Six months ended June 30

1 | $0.05 million and $0.03 million of this share-based compensation expense was capitalized in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. $0.09 million and $0.07 million of this share-based compensation expense was capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Stock awards. HEI granted HEI common stock to nonemployee directors of HEI, Hawaiian Electric and ASB under the 2011 Director Plan as follows:

| Six months ended June 30
($ in millions) | 2015 |  | 2014
Shares granted | 28,246 |  |  | 33,170 |
Fair value | $ | 0.8 |  |  | $ | 0.8 |
Income tax benefit | 0.3 |  |  | 0.3 |

The number of shares issued to each nonemployee director of HEI, Hawaiian Electric and ASB is determined based on the closing price of HEI Common Stock on the grant date.
Stock appreciation rights. As of December 31, 2014, the shares underlying SARs outstanding totaled 80,000, with a weighted-average exercise price of $26.18. As of June 30, 2015, there were no remaining SARs outstanding.

(1) | Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share based on the average price of HEI common stock on the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2015, there was $5.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.
For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, total restricted stock units that vested and related dividends had a fair value of $3.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and the related tax benefits were $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Long-term incentive plan payable in stock. The 2013-2015 long-term incentive plan (LTIP) and 2014-2016 LTIP provide for performance awards under the original EIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals considered to be a market condition and service conditions. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made subject to the achievement of specified performance levels. The potential payout varies from 0% to 200% of the number of target shares depending on achievement of the goals. The LTIP performance goals for the LTIP periods include awards with a market goal based on total return to shareholders (TRS) of HEI stock as a percentile to the Edison Electric Institute Index over the applicable three-year period. In addition, the 2013-2015 LTIP and 2014-2016 LTIP have performance goals related to levels of HEI consolidated net income, HEI consolidated return on average common equity (ROACE), Hawaiian Electric consolidated net income, Hawaiian Electric consolidated ROACE and ASB net income — all based on the applicable three-year averages, and ASB return on assets relative to performance peers. The 2015-2017 LTIP provides for performance awards payable in cash, and thus, is not included in the tables below.
LTIP linked to TRS. Information about HEI’s LTIP grants linked to TRS was as follows:

(1) | Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

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-year performance period. The expected stock volatility assumptions for HEI and its peer group were based on the three-year historic stock volatility, and the annual dividend yield assumptions were based on dividend yields calculated on the basis of daily stock prices over the same three-year historical period.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the LTIP awards linked to TRS and the resulting fair value of LTIP awards granted:

| 2014
Risk-free interest rate | 0.66 | %
Expected life in years | 3 |
Expected volatility | 17.8 | %
Range of expected volatility for Peer Group | 12.4% to 23.3% |
Grant date fair value (per share) | $ | 22.95 |

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no vested LTIP awards linked to TRS. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, all of the shares vested (which were granted at target level based on the satisfaction of TRS performance) for the 2012-2014 LTIP lapsed.
As of June 30, 2015, there was $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested performance awards payable in shares linked to TRS. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.
LTIP awards linked to other performance conditions. Information about HEI’s LTIP awards payable in shares linked to other performance conditions was as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, total vested LTIP awards linked to other performance conditions and related dividends had a fair value of $4.7 million and $1.9 million and the related tax benefits were $1.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2015, there was $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested shares linked to performance conditions other than TRS. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.
8 · Earnings per share and shareholders’ equity
Earnings per share. Under the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS), EPS was comprised as follows for both participating securities (i.e., restricted shares that became fully vested in the fourth quarter of 2014) and unrestricted common stock:

| Three months ended June 30, 2014 |  | Six months ended June 30, 2014
| Basic |  | Diluted |  | Basic |  | Diluted
Distributed earnings | $ | 0.31 |  |  | $ | 0.31 |  |  | $ | 0.62 |  |  | $ | 0.62 |
Undistributed earnings | 0.10 |  |  | 0.10 |  |  | 0.24 |  |  | 0.23 |
| $ | 0.41 |  |  | $ | 0.41 |  |  | $ | 0.86 |  |  | $ | 0.85 |

As of June 30, 2015, there were no remaining share awards that could have been potentially antidilutive. As of June 30, 2014, the antidilutive effect of SARs on 102,000 shares of HEI common stock (for which the exercise price was greater than the closing market price of HEI’s common stock), was not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

Shareholders’ equity.
Equity forward transaction. On March 19, 2013, HEI entered into an equity forward transaction in connection with a public offering on that date of 6.1 million shares of HEI common stock at $26.75 per share. On March 19, 2013, HEI common stock closed at $27.01 per share. On March 20, 2013, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full and HEI entered into an equity forward transaction in connection with the resulting additional 0.9 million shares of HEI common stock.
The use of an equity forward transaction substantially eliminates future equity market price risk by fixing a common equity offering sales price under the then existing market conditions, while mitigating immediate share dilution resulting from the offering by postponing the actual issuance of common stock until funds are needed in accordance with the Company’s capital investment plans. Pursuant to the terms of these transactions, a forward counterparty borrowed 7 million shares of HEI’s common stock from third parties and sold them to a group of underwriters for $26.75 per share, less an underwriting discount equal to $1.00312 per share. Under the terms of the equity forward transactions, HEI was required to issue and deliver shares of HEI common stock to the forward counterparty at the then applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price was initially determined to be $25.74688 per share at the time the equity forward transactions were entered into, and the amount of cash to be received by HEI upon physical settlement of the equity forward was subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms of the equity forward transactions.
The equity forward transactions had no initial fair value since they were entered into at the then market price of the common stock. HEI concluded that the equity forward transactions were equity instruments based on the accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and that they qualified for an exception from derivative accounting under ASC Topic 815 because the forward sale transactions were indexed to its own stock. On December 19, 2013 and July 14, 2014, HEI settled 1.3 million and 1.0 million shares under the equity forward for proceeds of $32.1 million (net of the underwriting discount of $1.3 million) and $23.9 million (net of underwriting discount of $1.0 million), respectively, which funds were ultimately used to purchase Hawaiian Electric shares. On March 20, 2015, HEI settled the remaining 4.7 million shares under the equity forward for proceeds of $104.5 million (net of the underwriting discount of $4.7 million), which funds were used for the reduction of debt and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds were recorded in equity at the time of settlement. Prior to their settlement, the shares remaining under the equity forward transactions were reflected in HEI’s diluted EPS calculations using the treasury stock method.
Accumulated other comprehensive income. Changes in the balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) were as follows:

9 · 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 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
53

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.
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, goodwill and AROs. The fair value of Hawaiian Electric’s ARO (Level 3) was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market-observable risk-free rates as adjusted by Hawaiian Electric’s credit spread (also see Note 4).
Fair value measurement and disclosure valuation methodology. 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 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 the Company 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 the Company’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 and not by ASB.
Loans held for sale. Residential mortgage loans carried at the lower of cost or market are valued using market observable pricing inputs, which are derived from third party loan sales and securitizations 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 along with various forecast valuation assumptions including prepayment forecasts, to determine the discount rate. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party sources. Noting the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, ASB includes loans held for investment within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired loans. At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined primarily by using an income, cost, or market approach and is normally provided through appraisals. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations within the allowance for loan losses. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and 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 classification of the inputs for determining fair 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 additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
Other real estate owned. Foreclosed assets are carried at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) and is generally based upon appraisals or independent market prices that are periodically updated subsequent to classification as real estate owned.
54

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. Mortgage servicing rights (MSR) 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. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment at each reporting date. ASB's MSR is 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 "Other income, net" 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 MSR 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 their own experience and expertise to arrive at a value. ASB uses the third-party value only to assess the reasonableness of its own estimate.
Time deposits. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
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.
Long-term debt. Fair value 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 remaining maturities.
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 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 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. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings and money market deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these liabilities have no stated maturity.

1 Derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in value reflected in the balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities and included in mortgage banking income.
There were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
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.

11 · Recent accounting pronouncements
Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects,” which permits entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met and investment amortization, net of tax credits, may be
58

recognized in the income statement as a component of income taxes attributable to continuing operations. The amendments also require additional disclosures.
The Company retrospectively adopted ASU No. 2014-01 in the first quarter of 2015. For prior periods, pursuant to ASU No. 2014-01, (a) amortization expense related to ASB’s qualifying investments in low income housing tax credits was reclassified from noninterest expense to income taxes; and (b) additional amortization, net of associated tax benefits was recognized in income taxes as a result of the adoption. The cumulative effect to retained earnings as of January 1, 2014 of adopting this guidance was a reduction of $0.7 million. Amounts in the financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, have been updated to reflect the retrospective application.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, ASB recognized $1.2 million of amortization, $1.2 million of tax credits and $0.5 million of other tax benefits associated with the low income housing tax credits within income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, ASB recognized $2.5 million of amortization, $2.6 million of tax credits and $1.1 million of other tax benefits associated with the low income housing tax credits within income taxes.

Reclassification of loans upon foreclosure. In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure,” which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is
59

considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer loan. A creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer loan upon either: (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The amendment also requires additional disclosures.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-04 in the first quarter of 2015 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Revenues from contracts. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606).” The core principle of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract/s with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018, but has not determined the method of adoption (full or modified retrospective application) nor the impact of adoption on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Repurchase agreements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosure,” which changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. It also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The ASU requires a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures about the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-11 in the first quarter of 2015 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Debt issuance costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
The Company plans to retrospectively adopt ASU No. 2015-03 in the first quarter 2016 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
12 · Credit agreements and long-term debt
Credit agreements.
HEI. On April 2, 2014, HEI and a syndicate of nine financial institutions entered into an amended and restated revolving non-collateralized credit agreement (HEI Facility). The HEI Facility increased HEI’s line of credit to $150 million from $125 million, extended the term of the facility to April 2, 2019, and provided improved pricing compared to HEI’s prior facility. Under the HEI Facility, draws would generally bear interest, based on HEI’s current long-term credit ratings, at the “Adjusted LIBO Rate,” as defined in the agreement, plus 137.5 basis points and annual fees on undrawn commitments of 20 basis points. The HEI Facility contains updated provisions for pricing adjustments in the event of a long-term ratings change based on the HEI Facility’s ratings-based pricing grid. Certain modifications were made to incorporate some updated terms and conditions customary for facilities of this type. In addition, the HEI Consolidated Net Worth covenant, as defined in the original facility, was removed from the HEI Facility, leaving only one financial covenant (relating to HEI’s ratio of funded debt to total capitalization, each on a non-consolidated basis). Under the credit agreement, it is an event of default if HEI fails to maintain an unconsolidated “Capitalization Ratio” (funded debt) of 50% or less (actual ratio of 15% as of June 30, 2015, as calculated under the agreement) or if HEI no longer owns Hawaiian Electric. The HEI Facility does not contain clauses that would affect access to the facility by reason of a ratings downgrade, nor does it have broad “material adverse change” clauses, but it continues to contain customary conditions which must be met in order to draw on it, including compliance with covenants (such as covenants preventing HEI’s subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HEI).
60

The facility will be maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper, but also may be drawn to repay HEI’s short-term and long-term indebtedness, to make investments in or loans to subsidiaries and for HEI’s working capital and general corporate purposes.
Hawaiian Electric. On April 2, 2014, Hawaiian Electric and a syndicate of nine financial institutions entered into an amended and restated revolving non-collateralized credit agreement (Hawaiian Electric Facility). The Hawaiian Electric Facility increased Hawaiian Electric’s line of credit to $200 million from $175 million. In January 2015, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s request to extend the term of the credit facility to April 2, 2019. The Hawaiian Electric Facility provided improved pricing compared to its prior facility. Under the Hawaiian Electric Facility, draws would generally bear interest, based on Hawaiian Electric’s current long-term credit ratings, at the “Adjusted LIBO Rate,” as defined in the agreement, plus 125 basis points and annual fees on undrawn commitments of 17.5 basis points. The Hawaiian Electric Facility contains updated provisions for pricing adjustments in the event of a long-term ratings change based on the Hawaiian Electric Facility’s ratings-based pricing grid. Certain modifications were made to incorporate some updated terms and conditions customary for facilities of this type. The Hawaiian Electric Facility does not contain clauses that would affect access to the facility by reason of a ratings downgrade, nor does it have broad “material adverse change” clauses, but it continues to contain customary conditions which must be met in order to draw on it, including compliance with several covenants (such as covenants preventing its subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, Hawaiian Electric, and restricting its ability as well as the ability of any of its subsidiaries to guarantee additional indebtedness of the subsidiaries if such additional debt would cause the subsidiary’s “Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio” to exceed 65% (ratio of 41% for Hawaii Electric Light and 42% for Maui Electric as of June 30, 2015, as calculated under the agreement)). In addition to customary defaults, Hawaiian Electric’s failure to maintain its financial ratios, as defined in its credit agreement, or meet other requirements may result in an event of default. For example, under the credit agreement, it is an event of default if Hawaiian Electric fails to maintain a “Consolidated Capitalization Ratio” (equity) of at least 35% (ratio of 56% as of June 30, 2015, as calculated under the credit agreement), or if Hawaiian Electric is no longer owned by HEI. Under the proposed Merger Agreement, Hawaiian Electric will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra. The terms of the Hawaiian Electric Facility are such that the proposed Merger would constitute a “Change in Control.” Hawaiian Electric has requested, and the financial institutions providing the Hawaiian Electric Facility have consented and agreed, that the proposed Merger shall not constitute a “Change in Control,” as defined in the credit agreement, provided that (i) the Merger is consummated and (ii) Hawaiian Electric becomes and remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra.
The credit facility will be maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper, but also may be drawn to repay Hawaiian Electric’s short-term indebtedness, to make loans to subsidiaries and for Hawaiian Electric’s capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Changes in long-term debt.
May 2014 loan. On May 2, 2014, HEI entered into a loan agreement with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada and U.S. Bank, National Association, which agreement includes substantially the same financial covenant and customary conditions as the HEI credit agreement described above. On May 2, 2014, HEI drew a $125 million Eurodollar term loan for a term of two years and at a resetting interest rate ranging from 1.12% to 1.18% through June 30, 2015. The proceeds from the term loan were used to pay off $100 million of 6.51% medium term notes at maturity on May 5, 2014, pay down maturing commercial paper and for general corporate purposes.

Notes: The Company’s effective tax rates (combined federal and state income tax rates) for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 were 37% and 36%, respectively, and for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 were 38% and 36%, respectively. The effective tax rate was higher for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 due primarily to nondeductible merger-related expenses.
HEI’s consolidated ROACE was 8.1% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and 10.4% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014.
Dividends. The payout ratios for the first six months of 2015 and full year 2014 were 97% and 75%, respectively. HEI currently expects to maintain its dividend at its present level; however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation, including but not limited to the Company’s results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company, and current and expected future economic conditions. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of a special HEI dividend of $0.50 per share contemplated in the Merger Agreement.

Economic conditions.
Note: 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; 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).
Hawaii’s tourism industry, a significant driver of Hawaii’s economy, ended the first half of 2015 with higher visitor expenditures and arrivals as compared to the same period a year ago. Visitor expenditures increased 3.5% and arrivals increased 4.0% compared to the first half of 2014. The Hawaii Tourism Authority expects scheduled nonstop seats to Hawaii for the third quarter of 2015 to increase by 4.9% over the third quarter of 2014 driven by an expected 5.0% increase in domestic seats and 4.8% in international seats.
Hawaii’s unemployment rate improved to 4.0% in June 2015, lower than the state’s 4.4% rate in June 2014 and the June 2015 national unemployment rate of 5.3%.
Hawaii real estate activity, as indicated by the home resale market, experienced growth in median sales prices and closed sales in the first half of 2015. Median sales prices for single family residential homes and condominiums on Oahu increased 2.3% and 2.4% respectively, over the first half of 2014. Closed sales for single family residential homes and condominiums increased by 3.4% and 3.3% respectively, compared to the first half of 2014.
Hawaii’s petroleum product prices reflect supply and demand in the Asia-Pacific region and the price of crude oil in international markets. In 2014, prices of all petroleum fuels held steady during the first half of the year before falling steeply in the second half. Fuel prices remained lower in 2015, but strengthened slightly in the second quarter.
Information received since the June 2015 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting indicates that economic activity has been expanding moderately in recent months. The FOMC reaffirmed its view that the current 0% to 0.25% percent target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate and will continue to assess progress towards its objectives of an improved labor market and a movement back to 2% inflation.
Overall, the Hawaii economy is expected to continue growing for the rest of 2015 and 2016 driven by the tourism industry, particularly on the neighbor islands, and moderate expansion of jobs and income. Hawaii’s economy depends on conditions in the U.S. economy and key international economies such as Japan.
Recent tax developments. The Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 provided an extension of 50% bonus depreciation through December 31, 2014, increasing the Company's 2014 federal tax depreciation by an estimated $162 million, primarily attributable to the Utilities. Previously, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 provided 50% bonus depreciation through December 31, 2013, resulting in an increase in 2013 federal tax depreciation of $160 million, primarily attributable to the Utilities. Under current tax law, there is no provision for bonus depreciation in 2015 and future years.
Also, see “Recent tax developments” in Note 4 and Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated income taxes refunded in Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Retirement benefits. For the first six months of 2015, the Company’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans’ assets generated a return, net of investment management fees, of 1.3%. The market value of these assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.5 billion (including $1.3 billion for the Utilities) and $1.4 billion (including $1.3 billion for the Utilities), respectively.
The Company estimates that the cash funding for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2015 will be $88 million ($86 million by the Utilities, $2 million by HEI and nil by ASB), which is expected to fully satisfy the minimum contribution requirements, including requirements of the Utilities’ pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms and the plans’ funding policies.

Operating loss |  | (13,157 | ) |  | (4,841 | ) |  | (21,918 | ) |  | (8,824 | ) |  | Higher administrative and general expenses, due to higher merger-related expenses ($9.0 milllion for second quarter 2015 and $13.5 million for first six month of 2015)
Net loss |  | (10,674 | ) |  | (4,485 | ) |  | (19,157 | ) |  | (8,517 | ) |  | Higher operating loss and lower tax benefits relative to the losses in 2015 (partly due to non-deductibility of certain merger-related expenses), partly offset by lower interest expense

The “other” business segment includes results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI and ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASBH), both holding companies; HEI Properties, Inc., a company which held passive, venture capital investments (all of which have been sold or abandoned); and The Old Oahu Tug Service, Inc., a maritime freight transportation company that ceased operations in 1999; as well as eliminations of intercompany transactions. Merger-related expenses of $4.4 million and $9.0 million were included in the results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI during the first and second quarters of 2015.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. 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 and 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 cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings) was as follows:

(dollars in millions) |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Short-term borrowings—other than bank |  | $ | 125 |  |  | 4 | % |  | $ | 119 |  |  | 3 | %
Long-term debt, net—other than bank |  | 1,507 |  |  | 42 |  |  | 1,507 |  |  | 44 |

|  | $ | 3,565 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 3,451 |  |  | 100 | %

HEI’s short-term borrowings and HEI’s line of credit facility were as follows:

|  | Average balance |  | Balance
(in millions) |  | Six months ended June 30, 2015 |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Short-term borrowings 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

1 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—Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources.” The maximum amount of HEI’s external short-term borrowings during the first six months of 2015 was $134 million. At July 31, 2015, HEI had $43 million of outstanding commercial paper, and its line of credit facility was undrawn.
HEI has a line of credit facility, as amended and restated on April 2, 2014, of $150 million. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company raised $3 million through the issuance of approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock under the DRIP, the HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan from January 1 through March 5, 2014. As of March 6, 2014, HEI began satisfying the
64

share purchase requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan through open market purchases of its common stock rather than through new issuances.
In March 2013, HEI entered into equity forward transactions in which a forward counterparty borrowed 7 million shares of HEI’s common stock from third parties and such borrowed shares were sold pursuant to an HEI registered public offering. See Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2015, HEI issued 4.7 million shares under the equity forward for proceeds of $104.5 million.
On May 2, 2014, HEI closed a two-year term loan for $125 million. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a brief description of the loan agreement.
In December 2014, HEI filed an omnibus registration statement to register an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities.
For the first six months of 2015, net cash provided by operating activities of HEI consolidated was $104 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $228 million, due to Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated capital expenditures, purchases of ASB’s investment securities, a net increase in ASB’s loans held for investment, partly offset by ASB’s repayments of investment securities and redemption of stock from the FHLB, and Hawaiian Electric’s contributions in aid of construction. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $249 million as a result of several factors, including proceeds from the issuance of shares under the equity forward and net increases in ASB’s deposit liabilities, retail repurchase agreements and short-term and other bank borrowings, partly offset by the payment of common stock dividends. 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 “Financial condition—Liquidity and capital resources” sections below.) During the first six months of 2015, Hawaiian Electric and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $45 million and $15 million, respectively.
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company’s results of operations and financial condition can be affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and could cause future results of operations to differ materially from historical results. For information about certain of these factors, see pages 47 to 48, 62 to 64, and 74 to 76 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2014 Form 10-K.
Additional factors that may affect future results and financial condition are described on pages iv and v under “Forward-Looking Statements.”
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.
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 these policies 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.
For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies, see pages 48 to 49, 64 to 65, and 76 to 79 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2014 Form 10-K.

Following are discussions of the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the electric utility and bank segments.
Electric utility
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Utility strategic progress. The Utilities continue to make significant progress in implementing their renewable energy strategies to support Hawaii’s efforts to reduce its dependence on oil. The PUC issued several important regulatory decisions during the last few years, including a number of interim and final rate case decisions (see table in “Most recent rate proceedings” below).
On August 26, 2014, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric filed proposed plans for Hawaii’s energy future with the PUC, as required by PUC orders issued in April 2014. The plans filed were the Hawaiian Electric Power Supply Improvement Plan, Maui Electric Power Supply Improvement Plan, Hawaii Electric Light Power Supply Improvement Plan, Hawaiian Electric Companies Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan, and Hawaiian Electric Companies Integrated Interconnection Queue Plan. Under these plans, the Utilities will support sustainable growth of rooftop solar, expand use of energy storage systems, empower customers by developing smart grids, offer new products and services to customers (e.g., community solar, microgrids and voluntary “demand response” programs), and switch from high-priced oil to lower cost liquefied natural gas.
Transition to renewable energy. The Utilities are committed to assisting the State of Hawaii in achieving its Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045 (see “Renewable energy strategy” below). The Utilities are also working with the State of Hawaii and other entities to examine the possibility of using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a cleaner and lower cost fuel as transition fuel for some generation as the Utilities move from oil to renewable energy. In December 2013, the Utilities executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with The Gas Company, LLC dba HawaiiGAS, documenting the parties’ desire to work together to (a) develop and/or secure infrastructure for large scale importation of LNG into Hawaii and (b) establish a consortium to competitively procure the LNG and provide storage and regasification of it at an LNG terminal site. In March 2014, Hawaiian Electric issued a RFP for the supply of containerized LNG. Hawaiian Electric received three final bids and is currently in negotiations to resolve key contractual provisions with the preferred bidder.
After launching a smart grid customer engagement plan during the second quarter of 2014. Hawaiian Electric replaced approximately 5,200 residential and commercial meters with smart meters, 160 direct load control switches, fault circuit indicators and remote controlled switches in selected areas across Oahu as part of the Smart Grid Initial Phase implementation. Also under the Initial Phase a grid efficiency measure called Volt/Var Optimization (or Conservation Voltage Reduction) was turned on, customer energy portals were launched and are available for customer use and a PrePay Application was launched. The Initial Phase implementation will be completed by the end of 2015. The smart grid provides benefits such as customer tools to manage their electric bills, potentially shortening outages and enabling the Utilities to integrate more low-cost renewable energy, like wind and solar, which will reduce Hawaii’s dependence on imported oil. The Utilities are planning to seek approval from the PUC in the fourth quarter of 2015 to commit funds for an expansion of the smart grid project, including at Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric.
Decoupling. In 2010, the PUC issued an order approving decoupling, which was implemented by the Utilities in 2011 and 2012. The decoupling model implemented delinks revenues from sales and includes annual rate adjustments for certain O&M expenses and rate base changes. On May 31, 2013, as provided for in its original order issued in 2010 approving decoupling, the PUC opened an investigative docket to review whether the decoupling mechanisms are functioning as intended, are fair to the Utilities and their ratepayers, and are in the public interest. On March 31, 2015, the PUC issued an Order to make certain modifications to the decoupling mechanism. See "Decoupling" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on changes to the RAM mechanism. Under decoupling, as modified by the PUC, the most significant drivers for improving earnings are:
•completing major capital projects within PUC approved amounts and on schedule;
•managing O&M expense and capital additions relative to authorized RAM adjustments; and
•achieving regulatory outcomes that cover O&M requirements and rate base items not recovered in the RAMs.

Actual and PUC-allowed (as of June 30, 2015) returns were as follows:

% |  | Return on rate base (RORB)* |  | ROACE** |  | Rate-making ROACE***

* Based on recorded operating income and average rate base, both adjusted for items not included in determining electric rates.
** Recorded net income divided by average common equity.
*** ROACE adjusted to remove items not included by the PUC in establishing rates, such as incentive compensation and certain advertising.
The approval of decoupling by the PUC has helped the Utilities to gradually improve their ROACEs when compared to the period prior to the implementation of decoupling. This in turn will facilitate the Utilities’ ability to effectively raise capital for needed infrastructure investments. However, the Utilities continue to expect an ongoing structural gap between their PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs actually achieved due to the following:
•the timing of general rate case decisions,

• | the effective date of June 1 (rather than January 1) for the RAMs for Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric currently, and for Hawaiian Electric beginning in 2017,

•plant additions not recoverable through the RAM or other mechanism outside of the RAM cap,

• | the modification to the RBA interest rate per the PUC's February 2014 decision on decoupling (as discussed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), and

•the PUC’s consistent exclusion of certain expenses from rates.
The structural gap in 2015 to 2017 is expected to be 90 to 110 basis points. Factors which impact the range of the structural gap include the actual sales impacting the size of the RBA regulatory asset, the actual level of plant additions in any given year relative to the amount recoverable under the RAM cap, and the timing, nature, and size of any general rate case. Between rate cases, items not covered by the annual RAMs could also have a negative impact on the actual ROACEs achieved by the Utilities. Items not likely to be covered by the annual RAMs include the changes in rate base for the regulatory asset for pension contributions in excess of the pension amount in rates, investments in software projects, changes in fuel inventory and O&M and capital additions in excess of indexed escalations. The specific magnitude of the impact will depend on various factors, including changes in the required annual pension contribution, the size of software projects, changes in fuel prices and management’s ability to manage costs within the current mechanisms.
As part of decoupling, 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. Annual earnings of a utility over and above the ROACE allowed by the PUC are shared between the utility and its ratepayers on a tiered basis. For 2014, the earnings sharing mechanism was triggered for Maui Electric, and Maui Electric will credit $0.5 million to its customers for their portion of the earnings sharing during the period June 2015 to May 2016. Earnings sharing credits are included in the annual decoupling filing for the following year.

Note: The electric utilities had effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 of 36% and 37%, respectively. The electric utilities had effective tax rates for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 of 37%.
Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated ROACE was 7.7% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and 9.0% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014.
The Utilities’ consolidated kilowatthour (KWH) sales have declined each year since 2007. Based on expectations of additional customer renewable self-generation and energy-efficiency installations, the Utilities’ 2015 KWH sales are expected to further decline below 2014 levels.
Other operation and maintenance expenses (excluding expense covered by surcharges or by third parties) for 2015 are projected to decrease by approximately 2% as compared to 2014 as the Utilities implement rigorous cost management measures focused on reprioritization of work, staffing levels, and discretionary expenses.
The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of June 30, 2015 amounted to $4 billion, of which approximately 26% related to production PPE, 65% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 9% related to other PPE. Approximately 3% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission. See “Adequacy of supply” below.
See “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
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. The PUC may grant an
69

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 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.
The following table summarizes certain details of each utility’s most recent rate cases, including the details of the increases requested, whether the utility and the Consumer Advocate reached a settlement that they proposed to the PUC, and the details of any granted interim and final PUC D&O increases.

Note: The “Request Date” reflects the application filing date for the rate proceeding. All other line items reflect the effective dates of the revised schedules and tariffs as a result of PUC-approved increases.
(1) Hawaiian Electric filed a request with the PUC for a general rate increase of $113.5 million, based on depreciation rates and methodology as proposed by Hawaiian Electric in a separate depreciation proceeding. Hawaiian Electric’s request was primarily to pay for major capital projects and higher O&M costs to maintain and improve service reliability and to recover the costs for several proposed programs to help reduce Hawaii’s dependence on imported oil, and to further increase reliability and fuel security.
The $53.2 million, $58.2 million, and $58.8 million interim increases, and the $58.1 million final increase, include the $15 million in annual revenues that were being recovered through the decoupling RAM prior to the first interim increase.
(2) See “Hawaiian Electric 2014 test year rate case” below.

(3) | Hawaii Electric Light’s request was primarily to cover investments for system upgrade projects, two major transmission line upgrades and increasing O&M expenses. On February 8, 2012, the PUC issued a final D&O, which reflected the approval of decoupling and cost-recovery mechanisms, and on February 21, 2012, Hawaii Electric Light filed its revised tariffs to reflect the increase in rates. On April 4, 2012, the PUC issued an order approving the revised tariffs, which became effective April 9, 2012. Hawaii Electric Light implemented the decoupling mechanism and began tracking the target revenues and actual recorded revenues via a revenue balancing account. Hawaii Electric Light also reset the heat rates and implemented heat rate deadbands and the PPAC, which provides a surcharge mechanism that more closely aligns cost recovery with costs incurred. The revised tariffs reflect a lower increase in annual revenue requirement

70

compared to the interim increase due to factors that became effective concurrently with the revised tariffs (lower depreciation rates and lower ROACE) and therefore, no refund to customers was required.
(4) Hawaii Electric Light’s request was to pay for O&M expenses and additional investments in plant and equipment required to maintain and improve system reliability and to cover the increased costs to support the integration of more renewable energy generation. As a result of the 2013 Agreement and 2013 Order (described below), the rate case was withdrawn and the docket has been closed.

(6) Maui Electric’s request was to pay for O&M expenses and additional investments in plant and equipment required to maintain and improve system reliability and to cover the increased costs to support the integration of more renewable energy generation. See discussion on final D&O, including the refund to customers in September and October 2013 required as a result of the final D&O, in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Hawaiian Electric 2011 test year rate case. In the Hawaiian Electric 2011 test year rate case, the PUC had granted Hawaiian Electric’s request to defer Customer Information System (CIS) project O&M expenses (limited to $2,258,000 per year in 2011 and 2012) that were to be subject to a regulatory audit of project costs, and allowed Hawaiian Electric to accrue AFUDC on these deferred costs until the completion of the regulatory audit.
On January 28, 2013, the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate entered into the 2013 Agreement to, among other things, write-off $40 million of CIS Project costs in lieu of conducting the regulatory audits of the CIP CT-1 and the CIS projects, with the remaining recoverable costs for the projects of $52 million to be included in rate base as of December 31, 2012. The parties agreed that Hawaii Electric Light would withdraw its 2013 test year rate case and not file a rate case until its next turn in the rate case cycle, for a 2016 test year, and Hawaiian Electric would delay the filing of its scheduled 2014 test year rate case to no earlier than January 2, 2014. The parties also agreed that, starting in 2014, Hawaiian Electric will be allowed to record RAM revenues starting on January 1 (instead of the prior start date of June 1) for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, Hawaiian Electric had additional revenues of $3.8 million and $12.3 million, respectively.
Hawaiian Electric 2014 test year rate case. On June 27, 2014, Hawaiian Electric submitted an abbreviated rate case filing (abbreviated filing), stating that it intends to forego the opportunity to seek a general rate increase in base rates, and if approved, this filing would result in no change in base rates. Hawaiian Electric stated that it is foregoing a rate increase request in recognition that its customers are already in a challenging high electricity bill environment. The abbreviated filing explained that Hawaiian Electric is aggressively attacking the root causes of high rates, by, among other things, vigorously pursuing the opportunity to switch from oil to liquefied natural gas, acquiring lower-cost renewable energy resources, pursuing opportunities to achieve operational efficiencies, and deactivating older, high-cost generation. Instead of seeking a rate increase, Hawaiian Electric is focused on developing and executing the new business model, plans and strategies required by the PUC’s April 2014 regulatory orders discussed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as other actions that will reduce rates.
Hawaiian Electric further explained that the abbreviated filing satisfies the obligation to file a general rate case under the three-year cycle established by the PUC in the decoupling final D&O. If the PUC determines that additional materials are required, Hawaiian Electric stated it will work with the Consumer Advocate on a schedule to submit additional information as needed. Hawaiian Electric asked for an expedited decision on this filing and stated that if the PUC decides that such a ruling is not in order, Hawaiian Electric reserves the right to supplement the abbreviated filing with additional material to support the increase in revenue requirements forgone by this filing—calculated to be $56 million over revenues at current effective rates. Hawaiian Electric’s revenue at current effective rates includes: (1) the revenue from Hawaiian Electric’s base rates, including the revenue from the energy cost adjustment clause and the purchased power adjustment clause, (2) the revenue that would be included in the decoupling RBA in 2014 based on 2014 test year forecasted sales, and (3) the revenue from the 2014 RAM implemented in connection with the decoupling mechanism.
Under Hawaiian Electric’s proposal, the decoupling RBA and RAM would continue, subject to any change to these mechanisms ordered by the PUC in Schedule B of the decoupling proceedings, the DSM surcharge would continue since demand response (DR) program costs would not be rolled into base rates (as required in the April 28, 2014 DR Order) until the next rate case, and the pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms would continue. Hawaiian Electric plans to file its next rate case according to the normal rate case cycle using a 2017 test year. If circumstances change, Hawaiian Electric may file its next rate case earlier.
Management cannot predict whether the PUC will accept this abbreviated filing to satisfy Hawaiian Electric’s obligation to file a rate case in 2014, whether additional material will be required or whether Hawaiian Electric will be required to proceed with a traditional rate proceeding.
Maui Electric 2015 test year rate case. On December 30, 2014, Maui Electric filed its abbreviated 2015 test year rate case filing. In recognition that its customers have been enduring a high bill environment, Maui Electric proposed no change to its base rates, thereby foregoing the opportunity to seek a general rate increase. If Maui Electric were to seek an increase in base
71

rates, its requested increase in revenue, based on its revenue requirement for a normalized 2015 test year, would have been $11.6 million, or 2.8%, over revenues at current effective rates with estimated 2015 RAM revenues. The normalized 2015 test year revenue requirement is based on an estimated cost of common equity of 10.75%. Management cannot predict any actions by the PUC as a result of this filing.
Hawaii Electric Light 2016 test year rate case. On June 17, 2015, Hawaii Electric Light filed its notice of intent to file a general rate case application by December 30, 2016, and requested a test year waiver to utilize a 2016 calendar test year. Notice is contingent upon the PUC’s approval of Hawaii Electric Light's request to extend the current December 31, 2015 deadline to file the rate case, using a 2016 calendar test year. The rate case filing is required to satisfy the obligation to file a general rate case under the three-year cycle established by the PUC in the decoupling final D&O.

Renewable energy strategy. The Utilities’ policy is to support efforts to increase renewable energy in Hawaii. The Utilities believe their actions will help stabilize customer bills as they become less dependent on costly and price-volatile fossil fuel. The Utilities’ renewable energy strategy will also allow them to meet Hawaii’s RPS law as revised in the 2015 Legislature, which requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 10%, 15%, 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. The Utilities met the 10% RPS for 2010 with a consolidated RPS of 20.7%, including savings from energy efficiency programs and solar water heating (or 9.5% without DSM energy savings). Energy savings resulting from DSM energy efficiency programs and solar water heating will not count toward the RPS after 2014. For 2014, the Utilities achieved an RPS without DSM energy savings of an estimated 21%, primarily through a comprehensive portfolio of renewable energy PPAs, net energy metering programs and biofuels. The Utilities have been successful in adding significant amounts of renewable energy resources to their electric systems. The Utilities are on track to exceed their 2015 RPS goal, and lead the nation in terms of the amount of photovoltaic (PV) systems installed by its customers.
As more generating resources, whether utility scale or distributed generation, are added to the Utilities’ electric systems and as customers reduce their energy usage, the ability to accommodate additional generating resources and to accept energy from existing resources is becoming more challenging. As a result, there is a growing risk that energy production from generating resources may need to be curtailed and the interconnection of additional resources will need to be closely evaluated. Also, under the state’s renewable energy strategy, there has been exponential growth in recent years in variable generation (e.g. solar and wind) on Hawaii’s island grids. Much of this variable generation is in the form of distributed generators interconnected at distribution circuits that cannot be directly controlled by system operators. As a consequence, grid resiliency in response to events that cause significant frequency and/or voltage excursions has weakened, and the prospects for larger and more frequent service outages have increased. The Utilities have been progressively making changes in their operating practices, are making investments in grid modernization technologies, and are working with the solar industry to mitigate these risks and continue the integration of more renewable energy.
Developments in the Utilities’ efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include the following:

• | In July 2011, the PUC directed Hawaiian Electric to submit a draft RFP for the PUC’s consideration for a competitive bidding process for 200 MW or more of renewable energy to be delivered to, or to be sited on, the island of Oahu. In October 2011, Hawaiian Electric filed a draft RFP with the PUC. In July 2013, the PUC issued orders related to the 200-MW RFP, ordering that Hawaiian Electric shall amend its current draft of the Oahu 200-MW RFP to remove references to the Lanai Wind Project, eliminate solicitations for an undersea transmission cable, and amend the draft RFP to reflect other guidance provided in the order.

• | In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA, which the PUC approved in December 2013, with Hu Honua Bioenergy for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii. The Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC plant is currently scheduled to be in service in 2016.

• | In May 2012, the PUC instituted a proceeding for a competitive bidding process for up to 50 MW of firm renewable geothermal dispatchable energy (Geothermal RFP) on the island of Hawaii. Bids were received in January 2015, and in February 2015, Ormat Technologies, Inc. was selected to provide 25 MW of additional geothermal energy, subject to successful contract negotiations and PUC approval of the final agreement.

• | In August 2012, the battery facility at a 30-MW Kahuku wind farm experienced a fire. After the interconnection infrastructure was rebuilt and voltage regulation equipment was installed, the facility came up to full output in January 2014 to perform control system acceptance testing, and energy is being purchased at a base rate until PUC approval of an amendment to the PPA. An application for PUC approval of an amendment to the PPA was filed in April 2014.

• | In August 2012, the PUC approved a waiver from the competitive bidding framework to allow Hawaiian Electric to negotiate with the U.S. Army for construction of a 50-MW utility-owned and operated firm, renewable and

72

dispatchable generation facility at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu and expected to be placed in service in 2017. In May 2014, Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC to allow expenditures of $170 million for execution of the project, which is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2017.

• | In February 2013, Hawaiian Electric issued an “Invitation for Low Cost Renewable Energy Projects on Oahu through Request for Waiver from Competitive Bidding,” which seeks to lower the cost of electricity for customers in the near term with qualified renewable energy projects on Oahu that can be quickly placed into service at a low cost per KWH. Proposals were received and Hawaiian Electric obtained waivers from the PUC Competitive Bidding Framework for certain projects, subject to certain conditions. In July 2015, the PUC issued orders approving (with conditions) four PPAs for a combined 137 MW of solar projects. Hawaiian Electric is reviewing these orders. Three additional waiver projects are still awaiting decision by the PUC.

• | In May 2013, Maui Electric requested a waiver from the PUC Competitive Bidding Framework to conduct negotiations for a PPA for approximately 4.5 to 6.0 MW of firm power from a proposed Mahinahina Energy Park, LLC project, fueled with biofuel. The PUC approved the waiver request, provided that an executed PPA must be filed for PUC approval by February 2015. The parties did not execute a PPA by the PUC deadline, but continue to negotiate.

• | In October 2013, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s 20-year contract with Hawaii BioEnergy to supply 10 million gallons per year of biocrude at Kahe Power Plant to begin within five years of November 25, 2013.

• | In December 2013, Hawaiian Electric requested PUC approval for a waiver of the Na Pua Makani Power Partners, LLC’s proposed 24-MW wind farm located in the Kahuku area on Oahu from the competitive bidding process and the PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy dated October 3, 2013 between Hawaiian Electric and Na Pua Makani Power Partners, LLC for the proposed 24-MW wind farm. In December 2014, the PUC approved both the waiver request and the PPA.

• | In April 2014, Hawaiian Electric requested PUC approval of a PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy with Lanikuhana Solar, LLC for a proposed 20-MW PV facility on Oahu. In June 2015, the PUC denied the request to waive Lanikuhana from competitive bidding requirements and Hawaiian Electric is seeking reconsideration of that decision.

• | In March 2015, Hawaiian Electric requested PUC approval of a 2-year biodiesel supply contract with Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC to supply 2 million to 3 million gallons of biodiesel at CIP CT-1 and the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility beginning in November 2015 when existing contracts are set to expire. Renewable Energy Group supplies 3 million to 7 million gallons per year to CIP CT-1 under its existing contract with Hawaiian Electric which was approved by the PUC in May 2012.

• | The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of June 30, 2015, there were 13 MW, 1 MW and 4 MW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.

• | As of June 30, 2015, there were approximately 232 MW, 52 MW and 55 MW of installed net energy metering capacity from renewable energy technologies (mainly PV) at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.

• | In July 2015, Maui Electric signed two PPAs, each for a 2.87-MW solar facility, which are subject to PUC approval.

Other regulatory matters. In addition to the items below, also see Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adequacy of supply.
Hawaiian Electric. In January 2015, Hawaiian Electric filed its 2015 Adequacy of Supply (AOS) letter, which indicated that based on its February 2014 sales and peak forecast for the 2015 to 2017 time period, Hawaiian Electric’s generation capacity will be sufficient to meet reasonably expected demands for service and provide reasonable reserves for emergencies through 2016, notwithstanding a generation shortfall event in January 2015, due to unexpected concurrent outages of a utility generating unit and several IPPs.
In accordance to its planning criteria, Hawaiian Electric deactivated two fossil fuel generating units from active service at its Honolulu Power Plant in January 2014 and anticipates deactivating two additional fossil fuel units at its Waiau Power Plant in the 2016 timeframe. Hawaiian Electric is proceeding with future firm capacity additions in coordination with the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation in 2015, and with the U.S. Department of the Army for a utility owned and operated renewable, dispatchable, including black start capabilities, generation security project on federal lands, which may be in service in the 2018 timeframe. Hawaiian Electric is continuing negotiations with two firm capacity IPPs on Oahu under PPAs scheduled to expire in 2016 and 2022.
Hawaii Electric Light. In January 2015, Hawaii Electric Light filed its 2015 AOS letter, which indicated that Hawaii Electric Light’s generation capacity through 2017 is sufficient to meet reasonably expected demands for service and provide for reasonable reserves for emergencies.
73

The Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC plant is currently scheduled to be in service in 2016, with potentially additional generation added in the 2020-2025 timeframe.
Maui Electric. In January 2015, Maui Electric filed its 2015 AOS letter, which indicated that Maui Electric’s generation capacity through 2018 is sufficient to meet the forecasted demands on the islands of Maui, Lanai, and Molokai. Maui Electric anticipates needing additional firm capacity on Maui in the 2019 timeframe. In February 2014, Maui Electric deactivated two fossil fuel generating units, with a combined rating of 9.5 MW, at its Kahului Power Plant. Due to unexpected concurrent conditions including lack of wind generation and outages of generating units leading to generation shortfalls, the two deactivated units at Kahului Power Plant were reactivated for several days in 2015. Maui Electric anticipates the retirement of all generating units at the Kahului Power Plant, which have a combined rating of 32.3 MW, in the 2019 timeframe. Maui Electric plans to issue one or more RFPs for energy storage, demand response and firm generating capacity, and to make system improvements needed to ensure reliability and voltage support in this timeframe.
The PSIPs, Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan, Integrated Interconnection Queue Plan and Demand Response Portfolio Plan filed in response to the April 2014 regulatory orders may affect the resource plans.
April 2014 regulatory orders. In April 2014, the PUC issued four orders that collectively provide certain key policy, resource planning, and operational directives to the Utilities. See “April 2014 regulatory orders” in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments and contingencies. See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements. See Note 11, “Recent accounting pronouncements,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. Management believes that Hawaiian Electric’s ability, and that of its subsidiaries, to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities and commercial paper and draws on lines of credit, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their respective capital expenditures and investments and to cover debt, retirement benefits and other cash requirements in the foreseeable future.
Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated capital structure was as follows:

(dollars in millions) |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Short-term borrowings |  | $ | 89 |  |  | 3 | % |  | $ | — |  |  | — | %
Long-term debt, net |  | 1,207 |  |  | 40 |  |  | 1,207 |  |  | 41 |
Preferred stock |  | 34 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 34 |  |  | 1 |
Common stock equity |  | 1,697 |  |  | 56 |  |  | 1,682 |  |  | 58 |
|  | $ | 3,027 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 2,923 |  |  | 100 | %

Information about Hawaiian Electric’s short-term borrowings (other than from Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric) and Hawaiian Electric’s line of credit facility were as follows:

|  | Average balance |  | Balance
(in millions) |  | Six months ended June 30, 2015 |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Short-term borrowings 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Commercial paper |  | $ | 38 |  |  | $ | 89 |  |  | $ | — |
Line of credit draws |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Borrowings from HEI |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Undrawn capacity under line of credit facility |  |  |  | 200 |  |  | 200 |

1 The maximum amount of Hawaiian Electric’s external short-term borrowings during the first six months of 2015 was $89 million. At June 30, 2015, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric of $13 million and $5 million respectively. At July 31, 2015, Hawaiian Electric had $105 million of outstanding commercial paper, no draws under its line of credit facility and no borrowings from HEI. Also, at July 31, 2015, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric of $11 million and $4 million, respectively. Intercompany borrowings are eliminated in consolidation.
74

Hawaiian Electric has a line of credit facility, as amended and restated on April 2, 2014, of $200 million. In January 2015, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s request to extend the term of the credit facility to April 2, 2019. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) have been issued by the Department 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. The payment of principal and interest due on SPRBs currently outstanding and issued prior to 2009 are insured by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC), which was placed in a rehabilitation proceeding in the State of New York in June 2012. On August 19, 2013 FGIC’s plan of rehabilitation became effective and the rehabilitation proceeding terminated. The S&P and Moody’s ratings of FGIC, which at the time the insured obligations were issued were higher than the ratings of the Utilities, have been withdrawn. Management believes that if Hawaiian Electric’s long-term credit ratings were to be downgraded, or if credit markets further tighten, it could be more difficult and/or expensive to sell bonds in the future.
The PUC has approved the use of an expedited approval procedure for the approval of long-term debt financings or refinancings (including the issuance of taxable debt) by the Utilities, up to specified amounts, during the period 2013 through 2015, subject to certain conditions. On October 3, 2013, after obtaining such expedited approvals, the Utilities issued through a private placement taxable non-collateralized senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $236 million.
In September 2014, the Utilities filed a request with the PUC (“September 2014 Letter Request”) under the expedited approval procedure for approval to issue unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest through December 31, 2015 of up to $80 million (Hawaiian Electric $50 million, Hawaii Electric Light $25 million and Maui Electric $5 million), with the proceeds expected to be used, as applicable, to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of the capital expenditures. In May 2015, the PUC issued a D&O on the September 2014 Letter Request, approving the Utilities’ request for expedited approval to issue unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest of up to $80 million.
In April 2015, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric filed with the PUC a letter request (“April 2015 Letter Request”) for the expedited authorization to issue up to an additional $47 million (Hawaiian Electric $40 million, Hawaii Electric Light $5 million and Maui Electric $2 million) of unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest in the event the Utilities decide to refinance outstanding revenue bonds in 2015. However, in June 2015, based on rulings made by the PUC in its May 2015 D&O on the September 2014 Letter Request and the Utilities’ conclusion that refinancing the outstanding $47 million of revenue bonds with refunding revenue bonds would be less costly for customers than utilizing taxable debt, the Utilities withdrew their April 2015 Letter Request and refiled with the PUC a letter request to refinance the outstanding revenue bonds with $47 million principal amount of refunding revenue bonds.
In May 2015, up to $80 million of Special Purpose Revenue Bonds (SPRBs) ($70 million for Hawaiian Electric, $2.5 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $7.5 million for Maui Electric) were authorized by the Hawaii legislature for issuance, with PUC approval, prior to June 30, 2020 to finance the utilities’ capital improvement programs.
In June 2015, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric filed an application with the PUC for approval to issue and sell each utility’s common stock in one or more sales in 2016 (Hawaiian Electric’s sale to the owner at the time of each such sale of up to $330 million and Hawaii Electric Light’s and Maui Electric’s sales to Hawaiian Electric of up to $15 million and $45 million, respectively), and the purchase of the Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric common stock by Hawaiian Electric in 2016.
Cash flows from operating activities generally relate to the amount and timing of cash received from customers and payments made to third parties. Using the indirect method of determining cash flows from operating activities, noncash expense items such as depreciation and amortization, as well as changes in certain assets and liabilities, are added to (or deducted from) net income. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $38 million and decreased by $87 million, respectively, compared to the prior year. For the first six months of 2015, noncash depreciation and amortization amounted to $91 million due to an increase in plant and equipment. Further, for the first six months of 2015, the changes in assets and liabilities included a decrease of $45 million in accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenues due to the timing of customer payments, and a $69 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments. For the first six months of 2014, noncash depreciation and amortization amounted to $87 million due to an increase in plant and equipment offset by a decrease of $63 million in accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments.
For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, net cash used in investing activities decreased $17 million and increased $85,000, respectively, compared to the prior year. Cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of capital expenditures, partly offset by contributions in aid of construction.
75

Financing activities provide supplemental cash for both day-to-day operations and capital requirements as needed. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, cash flows from financing activities decreased $15 million and increased $45 million, respectively, compared to the prior year. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds received from short-term borrowings of $89 million and $103 million, respectively. This was offset by payments of $46 million and $45 million of common and preferred stock dividends during the first six months of 2015 and 2014.
The Utilities have re-evaluated the timing of 2015 - 2017 net capital expenditures, revising their prior 3-year forecast from a range of $1.1 billion to $2.0 billion downward to a range of $0.8 billion to $1.7 billion. 2015 is the transitional year under the modified RAM Adjustment and on June 15, 2015 the Utilities and Consumer Advocate filed their Joint Proposed Modified REIP Framework/Standards and Guidelines regarding eligibility of projects for cost recovery above the RAM Cap through the REIP surcharge, and on the same day the Utilities filed their proposed standards and guidelines on the eligibility of projects for cost recovery through the RAM above the RAM cap. Given the change to the RAM, the number of other high priority issues before the PUC and the continuing refinement of transformation plans, the forecast for 2015 net capital expenditures was reduced from $420 million to $250 million. As a result, Hawaiian Electric will not need an equity infusion from HEI in 2015 and is re-evaluating the amount of long-term debt needed. The 2015 rate base growth is now expected to be between 1.5% to 3.0%. This forecast could change over time based upon external factors such as the timing and scope of environmental regulations, unforeseen delays in permitting and approvals, and the outcome of competitive bidding for new generation. Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated cash flows from operating activities (net income for common stock, adjusted for non-cash income and expense items such as depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes), after the payment of common stock and preferred stock dividends, are currently not expected to provide sufficient cash to cover the forecasted net capital expenditures over the 3-year forecast period. Debt and equity financing are expected to be required to fund this estimated shortfall and to fund any unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2015 - 2017 forecast, such as increases in the costs or acceleration of the construction of capital projects, unbudgeted acquisitions or investments in new businesses and significant increases in retirement benefit funding requirements.

Bank

|  | Three months ended June 30 |  | Increase |  |
(in millions) |  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | (decrease) |  | Primary reason(s)
Interest income |  | $ | 49 |  |  | $ | 47 |  |  | $ | 2 |  |  | The impact of higher average earning asset balances was partly offset by lower yields on earning assets. ASB’s average loan portfolio balance for the second quarter of 2015 increased by $239 million compared to the same period in 2014 as average commercial real estate, residential, home equity lines of credit and commercial loan balances increased by $110 million, $46 million, $42 million, and $27 million, respectively. The growth in these loan portfolios was reflective of ASB’s portfolio mix target and loan growth strategy. Yields on earning assets decreased by 4 basis points. Loan portfolio yields were impacted by the low interest rate environment as new loan production yields were generally lower than the average loan portfolio yields. The average investment and mortgage-related securities portfolio balance increased by $91 million due to the purchase of investments with excess liquidity. The average FHLB stock balance decreased by $47 million as FHLB stock in excess of the required holdings was repurchased by the FHLB.
Noninterest income |  | 17 |  |  | 14 |  |  | 3 |  |  | Higher noninterest income primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in gain on sale of loans as a result of higher refinancing activity which increased loan production in 2015 compared to 2014 and $0.8 million higher deposit fee income.
Revenues |  | 66 |  |  | 61 |  |  | 5 |  |  |
Interest expense |  | 3 |  |  | 3 |  |  | — |  |  | Interest expense remained flat as higher interest-bearing liability balances were offset by lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Average deposit balances for the second quarter of 2015 increased by $279 million compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in core deposits of $270 million. Average term certificate balances increased by $9 million. Other borrowings increased by $64 million primarily due to an increase in repurchase agreements. The interest-bearing liability rate decreased by 1 basis point.
Provision for loan losses |  | 2 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 1 |  |  | The provision for loan losses increased by $0.8 million primarily due to commercial loan downgrades and growth in the loan portfolio, partly offset by the reversal of the Pahoa lava reserves and commercial loan payoffs. Credit quality and trends continue to be stable and good, reflecting prudent credit risk management and a strong Hawaii economy. ASB had a net charge-off ratio for the second quarter of 2015 of 0.11% compared to a net recovery ratio of 0.04% in the second quarter of 2014. The increase in net charge-offs were due to ASB’s strategic expansion of its unsecured consumer loan product with risk-based pricing and lower recoveries as ASB had worked through most of its residential and vacant land recovery opportunities.
Noninterest expense |  | 41 |  |  | 39 |  |  | 2 |  |  | The increase in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to $1.5 million higher employee benefit costs and $0.5 million reserve for unfunded loan commitments.
Expenses |  | 46 |  |  | 43 |  |  | 3 |  |  |
Operating income |  | 20 |  |  | 18 |  |  | 2 |  |  | Higher net interest income and noninterest income, partly offset by higher noninterest expenses and higher provision for loan losses.

Interest income |  | $ | 97 |  |  | $ | 93 |  |  | $ | 4 |  |  | The impact of higher average earning asset balances was partly offset by lower yields on earning assets. ASB’s average loan portfolio balance for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $251 million compared to the same period in 2014 as average commercial real estate, home equity lines of credit and residential balances increased by $119 million, $54 million, and $52 million, respectively. The growth in these loan portfolios was reflective of ASB’s portfolio mix target and loan growth strategy. The yield on earning assets decreased by 8 basis points. Loan portfolio yields were impacted by the low interest rate environment as new loan production yields were generally lower than the average loan portfolio yields. The average investment and mortgage-related securities portfolio balance increased by $58 million due to the purchase of investments with excess liquidity. The average FHLB stock balance decreased by $35 million as FHLB stock in excess of the required holdings was repurchased by the FHLB.
Noninterest income |  | 33 |  |  | 31 |  |  | 2 |  |  | Higher noninterest income was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in gain on sale of loans a result of higher refinancing activity and $1.7 million higher deposit fee income, partly offset by $2.8 million lower gain on sale of securities in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of the gain from the sale of ASB’s municipal bond portfolio in 2014.
Revenues |  | 130 |  |  | 124 |  |  | 6 |  |  |
Interest expense |  | 6 |  |  | 5 |  |  | 1 |  |  | Interest expense remained flat as higher interest-bearing liability balances were offset by lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

Earning assets, costing liabilities 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 and these conditions have continued to have a negative impact on ASB’s net interest margin.
Loan originations and mortgage-related securities are ASB’s primary earning assets.

The HELOC portfolio makes up 18% 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 95% of the total HELOC portfolio and is the current product offering. Within this product type, 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 June 30, 2015, approximately 20% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the Fixed Rate Loan Option. Nearly all originations prior to 2008 consisted of amortizing equity lines that have structured principal payments during the draw period. These older vintage equity lines represent 5% of the portfolio and are included in the amortizing balances identified in the table above.

Available-for-sale investment securities. ASB’s investment portfolio was comprised as follows:

|  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
(dollars in thousands) |  | Balance |  | % of total |  | Balance |  | % of total
U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations |  | $ | 168,459 |  |  | 24 | % |  | $ | 119,560 |  |  | 22 | %

Principal and interest on mortgage-related securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) are guaranteed by the issuer and, in the case of GNMA, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
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. Deposit retention and growth will remain challenging in the current environment due to competition for deposits and the low level of short-term interest rates. Advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be additional sources of funds. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 94% deposits and 6% other borrowings. The weighted average cost of deposits for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 was 0.11%.
Federal Home Loan Bank Merger. In the second quarter of 2015, the FHLB of Des Moines and the FHLB of Seattle successfully completed the merger of the two banks and operated as one under the name FHLB of Des Moines as of June 1, 2015. The FHLB of Des Moines will continue to be a source of liquidity for ASB.
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 those instruments, respectively. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of those instruments.
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, ASB had an unrealized gain, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investments securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.”
During the first six months of 2015, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.4 million primarily due to commercial loan downgrades and growth in the loan portfolio, partly offset by the reversal of the Pahoa lava reserves and commercial loan payoffs. During the first six months of 2014, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.0 million primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and net charge-offs during the year for consumer loans. Financial stress on ASB’s customers may result in higher levels of delinquencies and losses.

Legislation and regulation. ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (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.”
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, on July 21, 2011, all of the functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) transferred to the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board (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, 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. If the Spin-Off of ASB Hawaii occurs as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, HEI (or its successor) will no longer be required to serve as a source of strength to ASB. The Dodd-Frank Act also imposes new restrictions on the ability of a savings bank to pay dividends should it fail to remain a qualified thrift lender.
More stringent affiliate transaction rules now apply to ASB in the securities lending, repurchase agreement and derivatives areas. Standards were raised with respect to the ability of ASB to merge with or acquire another institution. In reviewing a
82

potential merger or acquisition, the approving federal agency will need to consider the extent to which the proposed transaction will result in “greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system.”
The Dodd-Frank Act established the Bureau. It has authority to prohibit practices it finds to be unfair, deceptive or abusive, and it may also issue rules requiring specified disclosures and the use of new model forms. On January 10, 2013, the Bureau issued the Ability-to-Repay rule which closed for comment on February 25, 2013. For mortgages, under the proposed Ability-to-Repay rule, among other things, (i) potential borrowers will have to supply financial information, and lenders must verify it, (ii) to qualify for a particular loan, a consumer will have to have sufficient assets or income to pay back the loan, and (iii) lenders will have to determine the consumer’s ability to repay both the principal and the interest over the long term - not just during an introductory period when the rate may be lower.
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.
The Dodd-Frank Act also adopts a number of provisions that will impact the mortgage industry, including the imposition of new specific duties on the part of mortgage originators (such as ASB) to act in the best interests of consumers and to take steps to ensure that consumers will have the capability to repay loans they may obtain, as well as provisions imposing new disclosure requirements and requiring appraisal reforms.
Also, the Dodd-Frank Act directs the Bureau to publish rules and forms that combine certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with applying for and closing on a mortgage loan under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Consistent with this requirement, the Bureau amended Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to establish new disclosure requirements and forms in Regulation Z for most closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by real property. In addition to combining the existing disclosure requirements and implementing new requirements, the final rule provides extensive guidance regarding compliance with those requirements. This rule is effective October 3, 2015.
The “Durbin Amendment” to the Dodd-Frank Act required the FRB to issue rules to ensure that debit card interchange fees are “reasonable and proportional” to the processing costs incurred. In June 2011, the FRB issued a final rule establishing standards for debit card interchange fees and prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements and routing restrictions. Under the final rule, effective October 1, 2011, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction is 21-24 cents, depending on certain components. Financial institutions and their affiliates that have less than $10 billion in assets are exempt from this Amendment; however, on July 1, 2013, ASB became non-exempt as the consolidated assets of HEI exceeded $10 billion. ASB’s debit card interchange fees have been lower as a result of the application of this Amendment.
Final Capital Rules. On July 2, 2013, the FRB finalized its rule implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The final rule would apply 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, nor 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 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
83

organizations would be required to calculate risk-weighted assets under the standardized approach, which harmonizes the banking agencies’ calculation of risk-weighted assets and address 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 |  |  |  |  | 0.625 | % |  | 1.25 | % |  | 1.875 | % |  | 2.50 | %
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 June 30, 2015, ASB met the new capital requirements with a Common equity Tier-1 ratio of 12.3%, a Tier-1 capital ratio of 12.3%, a Total capital ratio of 13.5% and a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.8%.
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 Spin-Off of ASB Hawaii occurs as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, HEI (or its successor) will no longer be subject to the final capital rules as applied to SLHCs. 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.
Commitments and contingencies. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Potential impact of lava flows. In June 2014, lava from the Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii began flowing toward the town of Pahoa. ASB has been monitoring its loan exposure on properties most likely to be impacted by the projected path of the lava flow. At March 31, 2015, the outstanding amount of the residential, commercial real estate and home equity lines of credit loans collateralized by property in areas most likely affected by the lava flow totaled $13 million. For residential 1-4 mortgages in the area, ASB required lava insurance to cover the dwelling replacement cost as a condition of making the loan. As of December 31, 2014, ASB provided $1.8 million reserves for a commercial real estate loan impacted by the lava flows. Although the lava threat was downgraded from a warning to a watch in March 2015 and the immediate threat to homes and businesses in Pahoa has receded, the lava flow remains active upslope and the reserves for the commercial real estate loan remained in place at March 31, 2015. In May 2015, the flow front near Pahoa remained cold and hard, no longer threatening any homes or businesses. All major tenants of the commercial center had returned by the end of March, and property occupancy stabilized soon thereafter. As a result, at the end of May 2015 the commercial real estate loan was restored to performing status and the reserves for lava risk were reversed.

As of June 30, 2015, ASB was one of Hawaii’s largest financial institutions based on assets of $5.8 billion and deposits of $4.8 billion.
As of June 30, 2015, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $1.6 billion. As of June 30, 2015, ASB had commitments to borrowers for loans and unused lines and letters of credit of $1.8 billion. Commitments to lend to borrowers whose loan terms have been impaired or modified in troubled debt restructurings totaled $0.1 million at June 30, 2015. Management believes ASB’s current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $31 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $112 million, primarily due to purchases of investment securities of $208 million, a net increase in loans receivable of $23 million and additions to premises and equipment of $8 million, partly offset by repayments of investment securities of $64 million, redemption of stock from the FHLB of $59 million and proceeds from the sale of premises and equipment of $4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $189 million, primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $180 million, a net increase in retail repurchase agreements of $14 million and proceeds from securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $10 million, partly offset by the payment of $15 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
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 June 30, 2015, ASB was well-capitalized (minimum ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a Common equity tier-1 ratio of 12.3% (6.5%), a Tier-1 capital ratio of 12.3% (8.0%), a Total capital ratio of 13.5% (10.0%) and a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.8% (5.0%). FRB approval is required before ASB can pay a dividend or otherwise make a capital distribution to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company considers interest-rate risk (a non-trading market risk) to be a very significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risks, see pages 79 to 81, HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in Part II, Item 7A of HEI’s 2014 Form 10-K.
ASB’s interest-rate risk sensitivity measures as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 constitute “forward-looking statements” and were as follows:

Change in interest rates |  | Change in NII (gradual change in interest rates) |  | Change in EVE (instantaneous change in interest rates)
(basis points) |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014 |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
+300 |  | 1.8 | % |  | 1.9 | % |  | (9.3 | )% |  | (6.1 | )%
+200 |  | 0.6 |  |  | 0.7 |  |  | (5.4 | ) |  | (2.9 | )
+100 |  | — |  |  | 0.1 |  |  | (2.1 | ) |  | (0.7 | )
-100 |  | (0.6 | ) |  | (0.5 | ) |  | (1.0 | ) |  | (2.5 | )

Management believes that ASB’s interest rate risk position as of June 30, 2015 represents a reasonable level of risk. The NII profile under the rising interest rate scenarios was slightly less asset sensitive for all rate increases as of June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The $108 million growth in interest bearing deposits, which has a short-term repricing horizon, increased ASB’s asset sensitivity. However, the combination of the steepening of the yield curve which resulted in less cash flow from loans maturing or repricing within the 12 month horizon, and the shift to more rate sensitive core deposits and retail repurchase agreements, lessened ASB’s asset sensitivity.
ASB’s base EVE increased to $955 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to $947 million as of December 31, 2014 due to growth in capital.
The change in EVE to rising rates became more sensitive as of June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The steepening of the yield curve, with long term rates rising, caused mortgage rates to increase and led to slower prepayment expectations and lengthened the duration of the fixed rate mortgage portfolio. Additionally, the $143 million growth and shift in mix of the investment portfolio into longer duration securities and callable step-up debentures, which have the potential to extend in average life as rates rise, lengthened the duration of the investment portfolio and increased EVE sensitivity.
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 indicative 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. Furthermore, 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
85

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.
