HEI consolidated recorded retirement benefits expense of $11 million ($11 million by the Utilities) in the first three months of 2025 and $12 million ($11 million by the Utilities) in the first three months of 2024 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, any actual costs determined in accordance with GAAP that are over/under amounts allowed in rates are charged/credited to a regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset/liability for each utility will then be amortized over five years beginning with the respective utility’s next rate case. Defined contribution plans information. For the first three months of 2025 and 2024, the Company’s expenses and cash contributions for its defined contribution plans under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan were $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
