PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Forward-Looking Statements
This document may contain forward-looking statements concerning projections of revenues, income/loss, earnings/loss per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure, net interest margin or other financial items, concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations, concerning future economic performance, or concerning any of the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and may include the words "believes," "plans," "intends," "expects," "anticipates," "forecasts," "hopes," "should," "estimates" or words of similar meaning. While we believe that our forward-looking statements and the assumptions underlying them are reasonably based, such statements and assumptions are by their nature subject to risks and uncertainties, and thus could later prove to be inaccurate or incorrect. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from projections for a variety of reasons, to include, but not be limited to: adverse changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and, as a result, increased loan delinquency rates, deterioration in asset quality, and losses in our loan portfolio; the impact of local, national, and international economies and events (including natural disasters such as wildfires, tsunamis, storms and earthquakes) on the Company's business and operations and on tourism, the military, and other major industries operating within the Hawaii market and any other markets in which the Company does business; deterioration or malaise in domestic economic conditions, including any further destabilization in the financial industry and deterioration of the real estate market, as well as the impact of declining levels of consumer and business confidence in the state of the economy in general and in financial institutions in particular; changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, changes in capital standards, other regulatory reform, including but not limited to regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, government-sponsored enterprise reform, and any related rules and regulations on our business operations and competitiveness; the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; ability to successfully implement our initiatives to lower our efficiency ratio; the ability to address any material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures; the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, securities market and monetary fluctuations; negative trends in our market capitalization and adverse changes in the price of the Company's common stock; political instability; acts of war or terrorism; changes in consumer spending, borrowings and savings habits; failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures; technological changes; changes in the competitive environment among financial holding companies and other financial service providers; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; and our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items. For further information on factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from projections, please see the Company's publicly available Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Company's Form 10-K for the last fiscal year and, in particular, the discussion of "Risk Factors" set forth therein. The Company does not update any of its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Central Pacific Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries (herein referred to as the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and include all normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In December 2015, we acquired a 50% ownership interest in a mortgage loan origination and brokerage company, One Hawaii HomeLoans, LLC. The bank concluded that the investment meets the consolidation requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation." The bank concluded that the entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity and that we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Accordingly, the investment has been consolidated into our financial statements.
We have 50% ownership interests in four other mortgage loan origination and brokerage companies which are accounted for using the equity method and are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries: Pacific Access Mortgage, LLC, Gentry HomeLoans, LLC, Haseko HomeLoans, LLC and Island Pacific HomeLoans, LLC.
We also have non-controlling equity investments in affiliates that are accounted for under the cost method and are included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity and cost methods were $0.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017 and $0.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016. Our policy for determining impairment of these investments includes an evaluation of whether a loss in value of an investment is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value includes absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. We perform impairment tests whenever indicators of impairment are present. If the value of an investment declines and it is considered other than temporary, the investment is written down to its respective fair value in the period in which this determination is made.
The Company sponsors the Central Pacific Bank Foundation, which is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements.
Consolidated Statements of Income Reclassification
On December 31, 2016, the Company elected to reclassify loan servicing fees, amortization of mortgage servicing rights, net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans, and unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate locks into a single line item called "mortgage banking income" in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Loan servicing fees and net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans were previously recorded in its own line in the other operating income section of the consolidated statements of income, while unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate locks was included as a component of other operating income - other. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights was previously recorded as a component of amortization and impairment of other intangible assets in the other operating expense section of the Company's consolidated statements of income. The components of mortgage banking income are disclosed in Note 12 - Mortgage Banking Income to the consolidated
9

financial statements. The Company believes the reclassification provides a better presentation of revenues and costs of our mortgage banking activities. Prior year comparative financial statements have been adjusted retrospectively.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2017. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date" which defers the effective date by one year. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The FASB has also issued additional updates to provide further clarification to specific implementation issues associated with ASU 2014-09. These updates include ASU 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations," ASU 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," ASU 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," and ASU 2016-20 "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606." Our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of of ASU 2014-09, and other operating income. We expect that ASU 2014-09 will require us to change how we recognize certain recurring revenue streams; however, we do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our financial statements. We continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 on other components of other operating income. We expect to adopt the standard beginning January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if such adjustment is deemed to be significant.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 changes the income statement impact of equity investments, and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is selected. ASU 2016-01 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term of longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 and must be applied using the modified retrospective approach. Based on preliminary evaluation, the new pronouncement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as the projected minimum lease payments under existing leases subject to the new pronouncement are less than one percent of our current total assets.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Stock Compensation" ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payments. Specifically, the amendments: 1) require entities to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement; 2) change the classification of excess tax benefits to an operating activity in the statement of cash flows; 3) allows entities to elect an accounting policy to either estimate the number of forfeitures or account for forfeitures when they occur; and 4) allows entities to withhold up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate without classifying the awards as a liability. We adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. This update will be effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the potential impact the update will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230)." ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight statement of cash flow classification issues and is intended to reduce the current and future diversity in practice described in the amendments. Current GAAP is either unclear or does not include specific guidance
10

on the eight statement of cash flow classification issues included in ASU 2016-15. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. We do not plan to early adopt ASU 2016-15. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Among other things, the update clarifies the appropriate classification for proceeds from settlement of bank owned life insurance (BOLI) policies. Based on preliminary evaluation, our current practice is consistent with the update and we thus do not expect the update to have a reclassification impact. Additionally, we do not expect other changes in classification resulting from this update to be significant.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment ("OTTI")
Unrealized losses for all investment securities are reviewed to determine whether the losses are deemed "other-than-temporary." Investment securities are evaluated for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation to determine whether a decline in their value below amortized cost is other-than-temporary. In conducting this assessment, we evaluate a number of factors including, but not limited to:

• | The length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis;

• | Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area;

• | The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;

• | The payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments;

• | Failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

• | Any rating changes by a rating agency; and

• | Recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

The term "other-than-temporary" is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a general lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-
13

temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized for anticipated credit losses.
Because we have no intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell such securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we do not consider our investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not foreclose on any portfolio loans and we did not transfer any loans to the held-for-sale category. In addition, we did not sell any portfolio loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
In March 2017, we purchased a direct auto loan portfolio totaling $24.1 million which included a $0.4 million premium over the $23.8 million outstanding balance. At the time of purchase, the auto loans had a weighted average remaining term of 55 months and a weighted average yield of 3.75%.
In March 2016, we purchased a direct auto loan portfolio totaling $23.2 million which included a $0.3 million premium over the $22.9 million outstanding balance. At the time of purchase, the auto loans had a weighted average remaining term of 56 months and a weighted average yield of 3.88%. During the first quarter of 2016, we also purchased unsecured consumer loans totaling $28.8 million, which represented the outstanding balance at the time of purchases. At the time of purchases, the unsecured consumer loans had a weighted average remaining term of 38 months and a weighted average interest rate of 7.55%.

Modifications
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") included in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2017 totaled $3.5 million and consisted of 18 Hawaii residential mortgage loans with a combined principal balance of $2.4 million and two Hawaii commercial, financial and agricultural loans with a combined principal balance of $1.0 million.
Concessions made to the original contractual terms of these loans consisted primarily of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to deterioration in the borrowers' financial condition. The principal balances on these TDRs had matured and/or were in default at the time of restructure and we have no commitments to lend additional funds to any of these borrowers. There were $15.4 million of TDRs still accruing interest at March 31, 2017, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent. At December 31, 2016, there were $20.3 million of TDRs still accruing interest, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent.
Some loans modified in a TDR may already be on nonaccrual status and partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. Thus, these loans have already been identified as impaired and have already been evaluated under the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses (the "Allowance") methodology. Loans that were not on nonaccrual status when modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. The loans modified in a TDR did not have a material effect on our provision for loan and lease losses (the "Provision") and the Allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The following table presents by class, information related to loans modified in a TDR during the period presented. No loans were modified in a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

(dollars in thousands) | Number of Contracts |  | Recorded Investment (as of Period End) |  | Increase in the Allowance
Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Commercial, financial & agricultural | 1 |  |  | 659 |  |  | — |

No loans were modified as a TDR within the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans and leases, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
17

Special Mention. Loans and leases classified as special mention, while still adequately protected by the borrower's capital adequacy and payment capability, exhibit distinct weakening trends and/or elevated levels of exposure to external conditions. If left unchecked or uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deteriorated prospects of repayment. These exposures require management's close attention so as to avoid becoming undue or unwarranted credit exposures.
Substandard. Loans and leases classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans and leases classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
Loss. Loans and leases classified as loss are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible.
18

Loans and leases not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated. The following table presents by class and credit indicator, the recorded investment in the Company's loans and leases as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(dollars in thousands) | Pass |  | Special Mention |  | Substandard |  | Loss |  | Subtotal |  | Net Deferred Costs (Income) |  | Total

In accordance with applicable Interagency Guidance issued by our primary bank regulators, we define subprime borrowers as typically having weakened credit histories that include payment delinquencies and possibly more severe problems such as charge-offs, judgments, and bankruptcies. They may also display reduced repayment capacity as measured by credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, or other criteria that may encompass borrowers with incomplete credit histories. Subprime loans are loans to borrowers displaying one or more of these characteristics at the time of origination or purchase. Such loans have a higher risk of default than loans to prime borrowers. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we did not have any loans that we considered to be subprime.

Loans held for sale and other real estate assets are not included in our assessment of the Allowance.
Our Provision was a credit of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a credit of $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016.
In determining the amount of our Allowance, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of general economic conditions, as well as regulatory requirements and input. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current Allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses and we may experience significant increases to our Provision.
6. SECURITIZATIONS
In prior years, we securitized certain residential mortgage loans with a U.S. Government sponsored entity and continue to service the residential mortgage loans. The servicing assets were recorded at their respective fair values at the time of securitization.
All unsold mortgage-backed securities from prior securitizations were categorized as available for sale securities and were therefore recorded at their fair values of $1.5 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair values of these mortgage-backed securities were based on quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets. Unrealized gains of $0.1 million and $0.1 million on unsold mortgage-backed securities were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

We perform an impairment assessment of our other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Our impairment assessments involve, among other valuation methods, the estimation of future cash flows and other methods of determining fair value. Estimating future cash flows and determining fair values is subject to judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The variability of the factors we use to perform our impairment tests depend on a number of conditions, including the uncertainty about future events and cash flows. All such factors are interdependent and, therefore, do not change in isolation. Accordingly, our accounting estimates may materially change from period to period due to changing market factors.
9. DERIVATIVES
We utilize various designated and undesignated derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to movements in interest rates including interest rate swaps, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale commitments. We measure all derivatives at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. In each reporting period, we record the derivative instruments in other assets or other liabilities depending on whether the derivatives are in an asset or liability position. For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, we record the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative in AOCI, net of tax, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. We immediately recognize the portion of the gain or loss in the fair value of the derivative that represents hedge ineffectiveness in current period earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value
22

of the derivative are included in current period earnings. At March 31, 2017, we were not party to any derivatives designated as part of a fair value or cash flow hedge.
Interest Rate Lock and Forward Sale Commitments
We enter into interest rate lock commitments on certain mortgage loans that are intended to be sold. To manage interest rate risk on interest rate lock commitments, we also enter into forward loan sale commitments. The interest rate locks and forward loan sale commitments are accounted for as undesignated derivatives and are recorded at their respective fair values in other assets or other liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. These instruments serve to reduce our exposure to movements in interest rates. At March 31, 2017, we were a party to interest rate lock and forward sale commitments on $7.8 million and $17.6 million of mortgage loans, respectively.
The following table presents the location of all assets and liabilities associated with our derivative instruments within the consolidated balance sheets:

|  |  |  | Asset Derivatives |  | Liability Derivatives
|  |  |  | Fair Value at |  | Fair Value at
Derivatives Financial Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments |  | Balance Sheet Location |  | March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016 |  | March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016

10. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB") and maintained a $1.44 billion line of credit as of March 31, 2017, compared to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, $1.42 billion was undrawn under this arrangement, compared to $1.28 billion at December 31, 2016. Short-term borrowings under this arrangement totaled $21.0 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $135.0 million at December 31, 2016. There were no long-term borrowings under this arrangement at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. FHLB advances available at March 31, 2017 were secured by unencumbered investment securities with a fair value of $0.2 million and certain real estate loans with a carrying value of $1.87 billion in accordance with the collateral provisions of the Advances, Security and Deposit Agreement with the FHLB.
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our bank had additional unused borrowings available at the Federal Reserve discount window of $68.1 million and $63.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a carrying value totaling $129.9 million and $129.9 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on our line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window. The Federal Reserve does not have the right to sell or repledge these loans.

11. EQUITY
We have generated considerable tax benefits, including net operating loss carry-forwards and federal and state tax credits. Our use of the tax benefits in the future would be limited if we experience an "ownership change" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, an "ownership change" will occur if there is a cumulative increase in the Company's ownership by "5-percent shareholders" (as defined under U.S. income tax laws) that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period.
As a Hawaii state-chartered bank, Central Pacific Bank may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of March 31, 2017, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $93.7 million.
Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures.
In January 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2016 Repurchase Plan"). In January 2017, 1,750 shares of common stock, at a cost of $0.1 million, were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Plan.
On January 24, 2017, the Board of Directors also authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a newly authorized share repurchase program (the "2017 Repurchase Plan"). The 2017 Repurchase Plan replaces and supersedes in its entirety the 2016 Repurchase Plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, 112,000 shares of common stock, at a cost of $3.5 million, were repurchased under the 2017 Repurchase Plan.

14. PENSION AND SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS
Central Pacific Bank has a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Pension Plan") which covers certain eligible employees. The plan was curtailed effective December 31, 2002, and accordingly, plan benefits were fixed as of that date.

17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for our financial instruments.
Short-Term Financial Instruments
The carrying values of short-term financial instruments are deemed to approximate fair values. Such instruments are considered readily convertible to cash and include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, accrued interest receivable, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable.
Investment Securities
The fair value of investment securities is based on market price quotations received from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize pricing models supported with timely market data information. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.
Loans
Fair values of loans are estimated based on discounted cash flows of portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics including the type of loan, interest terms and repayment history. Fair values are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturities using estimated market discount rates. Estimated market discount rates are reflective of credit and interest rate risks inherent in the Company's various loan types and are derived from available market information, as well as specific borrower information. The fair value of loans are not based on the notion of exit price.
Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans. We report the fair values of Hawaii and U.S. Mainland construction and commercial real estate loans net of applicable selling costs on our consolidated balance sheets.
28

Other Interest Earning Assets
The equity investment in common stock of the FHLB, which is redeemable for cash at par value, is reported at its par value.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, are equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Long-Term Debt
The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows over the contractual borrowing period at the estimated market rate for similar borrowing arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair values of off-balance sheet financial instruments are estimated based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties, current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
For derivative financial instruments, the fair values are based upon current market values, if available. If there are no relevant comparables, fair values are based on pricing models using current assumptions for interest rate swaps and options.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
29

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets, premises and equipment and intangible assets.

Fair Value Measurements
We group our financial assets and liabilities at fair value into three levels based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

• | Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

• | Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

• | Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that requires the use of significant judgment or estimation.

We base our fair values on the price that we would expect to receive if an asset were sold or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We also maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.
We use fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, we may be required to record other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for sale, impaired loans
31

and mortgage servicing rights. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
There were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

(dollars in thousands) | Available for Sale Debt Securities: States and Political Subdivisions
Balance at December 31, 2016 | $ | 12,196 |
Principal payments received | (89 | )
Unrealized net gain included in other comprehensive income | 34 |
Balance at March 31, 2017 | $ | 12,141 |
Balance at December 31, 2015 | $ | 12,479 |
Principal payments received | (83 | )
Unrealized net gain included in other comprehensive income | 259 |
Balance at March 31, 2016 | $ | 12,655 |

Within the state and political subdivisions debt securities category, the Company holds four mortgage revenue bonds issued by the City & County of Honolulu with an aggregate fair value of $12.1 million and $12.7 million at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage revenue bonds by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's mortgage revenue bonds is the weighted average discount rate. As of March 31, 2017, the weighted average discount rate utilized was 4.73%, compared to 3.00% at December 31, 2016, which was derived by incorporating a credit spread over the FHLB Fixed-Rate Advance curve. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were recorded at fair value on our balance sheet at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the respective fair values:

|  |  | Fair Value Measurements Using

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have the following three reportable segments: Banking Operations, Treasury and All Others. These segments are consistent with our internal functional reporting lines and are managed separately because each unit has different target markets, technological requirements, marketing strategies and specialized skills.
The Banking Operations segment includes construction and real estate development lending, commercial lending, residential mortgage lending, indirect auto lending, trust services, retail brokerage services and our retail branch offices, which provide a full range of deposit and loan products, as well as various other banking services. The Treasury segment is responsible for managing the Company's investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding activities. The All Others segment consists of all activities not captured by the Banking Operations or Treasury segments described above and includes activities such as electronic banking, data processing and management of bank owned properties.
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with the Company's accounting policies that are described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC. The majority of the Company's net income is derived from net interest income. Accordingly, management focuses primarily on net interest income, rather than gross interest income and expense amounts, in evaluating segment profitability.
Intersegment net interest income (expense) was allocated to each segment based upon a funds transfer pricing process that assigns costs of funds to assets and earnings credits to liabilities based on market interest rates that reflect interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics. All administrative and overhead expenses are allocated to the segments at cost. Cash, investment securities, loans and leases and their related balances are allocated to the segment responsible for acquisition and maintenance of those assets. Segment assets also include all premises and equipment used directly in segment operations.
Segment profits and assets are provided in the following table for the periods indicated.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Central Pacific Financial Corp. ("CPF") is a Hawaii corporation and a bank holding company. Our principal business is to serve as a holding company for our bank subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank. We refer to Central Pacific Bank herein as "our bank" or "the bank," and when we say "the Company," "we," "us" or "our," we mean the holding company on a consolidated basis with the bank and our other consolidated subsidiaries.
Central Pacific Bank is a full-service community bank with 35 branches and 103 ATMs located throughout the state of Hawaii. The bank offers a broad range of products and services including accepting time and demand deposits and originating loans, including commercial loans, construction loans, commercial and residential mortgage loans, and consumer loans.
Basis of Presentation
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements under "Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)." The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2017.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires that management make certain judgments and use certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosures made. Accounting estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and would materially impact our consolidated financial statements as of or for the periods presented. Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting estimates noted below with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the accompanying disclosures.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses (the "Allowance") is management's estimate of credit losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. We maintain our Allowance at an amount we expect to be sufficient to absorb probable losses incurred in our loan and lease portfolio. At March 31, 2017, we had an Allowance of $55.4 million, compared to $56.6 million at December 31, 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company implemented an enhanced Allowance methodology due to the growth in the portfolio and improved credit quality. Management believes the enhanced methodology provides for greater precision in calculating the Allowance. The following summarizes the key enhancements made to the Allowance methodology:

• | Collapsed 128 segments into nine segments. The enhanced methodology uses FDIC Call Report codes to identify the nine segments.

• | Expanded the look-back period to 28 quarters to capture a longer economic cycle.

• | Utilized a migration analysis, versus average historical loss rate, to determine the historical loss rates for segments, with the exception of national syndicated loans due to limited loss history.

• | Applied a segment specific loss emergence period.

• | Determined qualitative reserves, calculated at the segment level, considering nine qualitative factors and based on a baseline risk weighting adjusted for current internal and external factors.

• | Eliminated the Moody's proxy rate that was applied under the previous methodology.

• | Eliminated the unallocated reserve.

These enhancements and continued improvement in portfolio credit quality resulted in a credit to the Provision of $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2017 and $2.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2016.
The Company's approach to developing the Allowance has three basic elements. These elements include specific reserves for individually impaired loans, a general allowance for loans other than those analyzed as individually impaired, and qualitative adjustments based on environmental and other factors which may be internal or external to the Company.
36

Specific Reserve
Individually impaired loans in all loan categories are evaluated using one of three valuation methods as prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-10, "Fair Value of Collateral, Observable Market Price, or Cash Flow". A loan is generally evaluated for impairment on an individual basis if it meets one or more of the following characteristics: risk-rated as substandard, doubtful or loss, loans on nonaccrual status, troubled debt restructures, or any loan deemed prudent by management to so analyze. If the valuation of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the Allowance or, alternatively, a specific reserve will be established and included in the overall Allowance balance. The Company did not record a specific reserve as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
General Allowance
In determining the general allowance component of the Allowance, the Company utilizes a comprehensive approach to segment the loan portfolio into homogenous groups. The enhanced methodology segments the portfolio by FDIC Call Report codes. This results in nine segments, and is more consistent with industry practice. For the purpose of determining general allowance loss factors, loss experience is derived from a migration analysis, with the exception of national syndicated loans where an average historical loss rate is applied due to limited historical loss experience. The key inputs to run a migration analysis are the length of the migration period, the dates for the migration periods to start and the number of migration periods used for the analysis. For each migration period, the analysis will determine the outstanding balance in each segment and/or sub-segment at the start of each period. These loans will then be followed for the length of the migration period to identify the amount of associated charge-offs and recoveries. A loss rate for each migration period is calculated using the formula ‘net charge-offs over the period divided by beginning loan balance'. The Allowance methodology applies a look back period to January 1, 2010. The Company intends to extend its look back period moving forward.
Qualitative Adjustments
Our Allowance methodology uses qualitative adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as economic conditions and industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio, and provide for losses in the loan portfolio that may not be reflected and/or captured in the historical loss data. In order to ensure that the qualitative adjustments are in compliance with current regulatory standards and U.S. GAAP, the Company is primarily basing adjustments on the nine standard factors outlined in the FRB's 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. These factors include: lending policies, economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentrations and other internal & external factors.
In recognizing that current and relevant environmental (economic, market or other) conditions that can affect repayment may not yet be fully reflected in historical loss experience, qualitative adjustments are applied to factor in current loan portfolio and market intelligence. These adjustments, which are added to the historical loss rate, consider the nature of the Company's primary markets and are reasonable, consistently determined and appropriately documented. Management reviews the results of the qualitative adjustment quarterly to ensure it is consistent with the trends in the overall economy, and from time to time may make adjustments, if necessary, to ensure directional consistency.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale consists of the following two types: (1) Hawaii residential mortgage loans that are originated with the intent to sell them in the secondary market and (2) non-residential loans both in Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland that were originated with the intent to be held in our portfolio but were subsequently transferred to the held for sale category. Hawaii residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value on an aggregate basis while the non-residential Hawaii and U.S. Mainland loans are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value on an individual basis.
When a non-residential loan is transferred to the held for sale category, the loan is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Any reduction in the loan's value is reflected as a write-down of the recorded investment resulting in a new cost basis, with a corresponding reduction in the Allowance. In subsequent periods, if the fair value of a loan classified as held for sale is less than its cost basis, a valuation adjustment is recognized in our consolidated statement of income in other operating expense and the carrying value of the loan is adjusted accordingly. The valuation adjustment may be recovered in the event that the fair value increases, which is also recognized in our consolidated statement of income in other operating expense.
The fair value of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans. We report the fair values of
37

the non-residential loans classified as held for sale net of applicable selling costs on our consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of our loans held for sale were Hawaii residential mortgage loans.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
We utilize the amortization method to measure our mortgage servicing rights. Under the amortization method, we amortize our mortgage servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new mortgage servicing rights is reported as gains on sales of loans and is a component of mortgage banking income. Amortization of the servicing rights is also reported as a component of mortgage banking income in the other operating income section of our consolidated statements of income. Ancillary income is recorded in other income. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained and we classify our entire mortgage servicing rights into one pool.
Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider based on market value assumptions at the time of origination. We assess the servicing right for impairment using current market value assumptions at each reporting period. Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service, and ancillary income. Variations in our assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market value assumptions based on loan product types (fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon loans) include average discount rates and prepayment speeds. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. Our mortgage servicing rights portfolio and valuation assumptions are periodically reviewed by management.
Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as changes in home prices, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations. As market interest rates decline, prepayment speeds will generally increase as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As prepayment speeds increase, anticipated cash flows will generally decline resulting in a potential reduction, or impairment, to the fair value of the capitalized mortgage servicing rights. Alternatively, an increase in market interest rates may cause a decrease in prepayment speeds and therefore an increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights.
We perform an impairment assessment of our mortgage servicing rights whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Our impairment assessments involve, among other valuation methods, the estimation of future cash flows and other methods of determining fair value. Estimating future cash flows and determining fair values is subject to judgments and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The variability of the factors we use to perform our impairment tests depend on a number of conditions, including the uncertainty about future events and cash flows. All such factors are interdependent and, therefore, do not change in isolation. Accordingly, our accounting estimates may materially change from period to period due to changing market factors.
Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Contingencies
Deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. A valuation allowance may be required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the DTAs will not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, we consider the level of taxable income in prior years, to the extent that carrybacks are permitted under current tax laws, as well as estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to accelerate taxable income, if necessary. If our estimates of future taxable income were materially overstated or if our assumptions regarding the tax consequences of tax planning strategies were inaccurate, some or all of our DTAs may not be realized, which would result in a charge to earnings.
As of March 31, 2017, we have a valuation allowance on our net DTA of $2.7 million, which relates to our California state income taxes as we do not expect to generate sufficient income in California to utilize the DTA. Given our six consecutive years of profitability and the expectation of continued profitability, strong asset quality, and well-capitalized position, we continue to believe that it is more likely than not that our remaining net DTA totaling $51.0 million at March 31, 2017 will be realized.
The Company establishes income tax contingency reserves for potential tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions that arise in the normal course of business. Tax benefits are recognized when we determine that it is more likely than not that such
38

benefits will be realized. Where uncertainty exists due to the complexity of income tax statutes and where the potential tax amounts are significant, we generally seek independent tax opinions to support our positions. If our evaluation of the likelihood of the realization of benefits is inaccurate, we could incur additional income tax and interest expense that would adversely impact earnings, or we could receive tax benefits greater than anticipated which would positively impact earnings. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements on Future Filings
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires an entity to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same line item or items in the statement of income (i.e. salaries and employee benefits) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. In addition, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. The other components of net benefit costs are required to be presented in the statement of income separately from the service cost component (i.e. other operating expense - other). ASU 2017-07 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, however the Company does not plan to early adopt. The presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the statement of income should be applied retrospectively, while the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in assets should be applied prospectively. ASU 2017-07 allows a practical expedient that permits the Company to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnote for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for the Company's reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-08 should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the potential impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Material Trends
While the U.S. economy is in its 8th year of recovery following the downturn, there remains some uncertainty in the U.S. and global macroeconomic environments. Job gains have been moderate and wages have not increased significantly, while inflation has remained below the Federal Reserve's long term objective and business fixed investment remains low. Furthermore, until policy actions of the new U.S. Presidential Administration are solidified, there remains uncertainty in the economic and regulatory environment.
The majority of our operations are concentrated in the state of Hawaii. As a result, our performance is significantly influenced by the real estate markets and economic environment in Hawaii. Macroeconomic conditions also influence our performance. A
39

favorable business environment is generally characterized by expanding gross state product, low unemployment and rising personal income; while an unfavorable business environment is characterized by the reverse.
In its first quarter of 2017 report, DBEDT projects Hawaii's economy, as measured by the growth of real personal income and real gross state product, will grow steadily at a rate of 2.4% and 1.8% for 2017, respectively. Based on the recent developments in the national and global economy, the performance of Hawaii's tourism industry, the labor market conditions in the state, and growth of personal income and tax revenues, DBEDT expects Hawaii's economy will continue to experience positive growth in 2017.
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations reported that Hawaii's seasonally adjusted annual unemployment rate improved to 2.7% in March 31, 2017, compared to 3.1% in March 31, 2016. The last time Hawaii's unemployment rate was 2.7% was in June 2007. In addition, Hawaii's unemployment rate is among the lowest in the nation, and remained below the national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.5%. DBEDT projects Hawaii's seasonally adjusted annual unemployment rate to be at 3.4% in 2017.
Tourism continues to be Hawaii's center of strength and its most significant economic driver. For the fifth straight year,, Hawaii's strong visitor industry broke records for visitor arrivals and visitor spending, and through the three months ended March 31, 2017, is on pace for its sixth straight record-breaking year. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority ("HTA"), 2.3 million visitors visited the state in the three months ended March 31, 2017. This was an increase of 3.1% from the number of visitor arrivals in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The HTA also reported total spending by visitors increased to $4.4 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2017, or an increase of $412.6 million, or 10.4%, from the three months ended March 31, 2016. According to DBEDT, total visitor arrivals and visitor spending are expected to increase 1.5% and 2.9% in 2017, respectively.
Real estate lending is a primary focus for us, including residential mortgage, commercial mortgage, and construction loans. As a result, we are dependent on the strength of Hawaii's real estate market. Home sales in Hawaii were strong and Oahu single-family home prices soared to record highs in 2016. These trends continued through the three months ended March 31, 2017. According to the Honolulu Board of Realtors, Oahu unit sales volume increased by 1.0% for single-family homes and 7.1% for condominiums for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same time period last year. The median sales price for single-family homes on Oahu for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $750,000, representing an increase of 3.5% from $724,900 in the same prior year period. The median sales price for condominiums on Oahu for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $390,000, representing an increase of 2.6% from $380,000 in the same prior year period. We believe the Hawaii real estate market will continue to remain strong during the remainder of 2017, however, there can be no assurance that this will occur.
As we have seen in the past, our operating results are significantly impacted by: (i) the economy in Hawaii, and to a significantly lesser extent, California, and (ii) the composition of our loan portfolio. Loan demand, deposit growth, Provision, asset quality, noninterest income and noninterest expense are all affected by changes in economic conditions. If the residential and commercial real estate markets we have exposure to deteriorate as they did in the latter part of 2007 through 2010, our results of operations would be negatively impacted.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, when annualized and expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets, is referred to as "net interest margin." Interest income, which includes loan fees and resultant yield information, is expressed on a taxable equivalent basis using an assumed income tax rate of 35%. A comparison of net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis ("net interest income") for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is set forth below.

Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $41.8 million for the first quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 5.1% from $39.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase in average loans and leases balances funded by growth in lower cost deposits. Offsetting this increase was a significant increase in average time deposits $100,000 and over combined with a 29 basis point ("bp") increase in rates paid on time deposits $100,000 and over.
Average yields earned on our interest-earning assets during the first quarter of 2017 increased by 4 bp from the first quarter of 2016. Average rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities increased by 10 bp in the first quarter of 2017 from the first quarter of 2016.

Interest Income
Taxable-equivalent interest income was $44.7 million for the first quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 7.1% from $41.8 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to a $288.8 million increase in average loans and leases compared to the first quarter of 2016, accounting for approximately $2.7 million of the increase in interest income during the first quarter of 2017. In addition, during the first quarter of 2017, the Company received $1.0 million in loan interest recoveries. These increases were partially offset by a 7 bp decrease in average yields earned on investment securities compared to the first quarter of 2016, decreasing interest income by approximately $0.2 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2017 was $3.0 million, representing an increase of 45.1% from the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to a $137.5 million increase in average time deposits $100,000 and over, combined with a 29 bp increase in average rates paid on time deposits $100,000 and over, which increased interest expense by $0.8 million.
Net Interest Margin
Our net interest margin was 3.30% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 3.33% for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in our net interest margin reflects a decrease of 7 bp in yields earned on our average investment securities portfolio, combined with an increase in rates paid on our average time deposits $100,000 and over of 29 bp.
The historically low interest rate environment that we continue to operate in is the result of the target Federal Funds range of 0% to 0.25% initially set by the Federal Reserve in the fourth quarter of 2008 and other economic policies implemented by the FRB, which continued through the third quarter of 2015. In December 2015, the Federal Reserve increased the target Federal Funds range to 0.25% to 0.50% based on the improvement in labor market conditions and positive economic outlook. Citing improvement in labor market conditions, a move toward more stable prices, and a positive economic outlook, the Federal Reserve increased the target Federal Funds range to 0.50% to 0.75% in December 2016, and three months later increased the Federal Funds range to 0.75% to 1.00% in March 2017.
We expect the target Fed Funds rate to gradually increase through the remainder 2017, as the labor market continues to strengthen and inflation approaches the FOMC long run objective. Furthermore, the new presidential administration has indicated policy actions that are interpreted as inflationary; however, there is still uncertainty on how fiscal policy will evolve. As a result, we expect the market to exhibit volatility in interest rates as policy actions unfold, coupled with a moderate increase in the yield curve throughout 2017.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Our Provision was a credit of $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2017, compared to a credit of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. Our net charge-offs were $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2017, compared to net charge-offs of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2016.
The credit to the provision for loan and lease losses in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to improving trends in credit quality and market conditions. Nonperforming assets of $8.8 million as of March 31, 2017 decreased by $0.4 million from December 31, 2016.

For the first quarter of 2017, total other operating income of $10.0 million increased by $1.4 million, or 15.7%, from $8.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase from the comparable prior year period was primarily due to higher mortgage banking income of $0.7 million, higher income from bank-owned life insurance of $0.5 million, and higher income recovered on nonaccrual loans previously charged-off of $0.4 million. The higher mortgage banking income was primarily attributable to lower amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $1.0 million due to slower prepayment activity. The higher income from bank-owned life insurance during the current quarter was primarily attributable to death benefit income of $0.6 million.

Total other operating expense | $ | 31,460 |  |  | $ | 31,366 |  |  | $ | 94 |  |  | 0.3 | %

For the first quarter of 2017, total other operating expense was $31.5 million and increased by $0.1 million, or 0.3%, from $31.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase from the year-ago quarter was primarily attributable higher salaries and employee benefits of $0.5 million, combined with a credit to the provision for residential mortgage loan repurchase losses of $0.4 million recorded in the year-ago quarter, partially offset by lower computer software expense of $0.5 million.
A key measure of operating efficiency tracked by management is the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing total operating expenses by total revenue. Management believes that the efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information that is important to a proper understanding of the company's core business results by investors. Our efficiency ratio should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to the efficiency ratio presented by other companies. Our efficiency ratio improved to 61.36% in the first quarter of 2017, compared to 65.53% in the year-ago quarter. The efficiency ratio during the current quarter was positively impacted by the growth in net interest income and the death benefit income received during the quarter.
On December 31, 2016, the Company elected to reclassify loan servicing fees, amortization of mortgage servicing rights, net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans, and unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate locks into a single line item called "mortgage banking income" in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Loan servicing fees and net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans were previously recorded in its own line in the other operating income section of the consolidated statements of income, while unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate locks was included as a component of other operating income - other. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights was previously recorded as a component of amortization and impairment of other intangible assets in the other operating expense section of the Company's consolidated statements of income. The components of mortgage banking income are disclosed in Note 12 - Mortgage Banking Income to the consolidated
44

financial statements. The Company believes the reclassification provides a better presentation of revenues and costs of our mortgage banking activities. Comparative financial statements of prior years have been adjusted retrospectively.
Income Taxes
For the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded income tax expense of $6.8 million compared to $6.1 million in the same prior year period. The increase in income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2017 is primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 34.24%, compared to 35.18% in the same prior year period. Income tax expense and the effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was positively impacted by $0.6 million in death benefit income from bank-owned life insurance, which is tax-exempt. In addition, during the first quarter of 2017, we recorded $0.1 million in excess tax benefits from the vesting of restricted stock units. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits from the vesting of restricted stock units were recorded in shareholders' equity.
The remaining valuation allowance on our net DTA totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 2017 and $2.8 million at December 31, 2016, which related to our California state income taxes as we do not expect to generate sufficient income in California to utilize the DTA. Net of this valuation allowance, the Company's net DTA totaled $51.0 million at March 31, 2017, compared to a net DTA of $58.9 million as of December 31, 2016, and is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in net DTA is primarily due to utilization of income tax credit carryforwards.
Financial Condition
Total assets at March 31, 2017 of $5.44 billion increased by $58.9 million from $5.38 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase in total assets and total liabilities was primarily due to our deposit growth and deployment of these proceeds into higher yielding assets.
Investment Securities
Investment securities of $1.51 billion at March 31, 2017 increased by $52.8 million, or 3.6%, from December 31, 2016. The increase reflects investment securities purchases totaling $107.5 million and a $3.5 million increase in the market valuation on the available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by principal runoff.

Loans and leases, net of deferred costs, of $3.55 billion at March 31, 2017 increased by $20.8 million, or 0.6%, from December 31, 2016. The increase reflects net increase s in the following loan portfolios: automobiles of $21.0 million, residential mortgage of $19.9 million, home equity of $9.6 million, and commercial mortgage of $8.3 million. These increase s were partially offset by net decrease s in the following loan portfolios: other consumer of $23.2 million, construction of $7.4 million, and commercial, financial and agricultural of $7.4 million. The net increase in the loan portfolio also reflects loan charge-offs totaling $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The Hawaii loan portfolio increase d by $45.1 million, or 1.4%, from December 31, 2016. The increase reflects net increase s in the following loan portfolios: commercial, financial and agricultural of $22.9 million, residential mortgage of $19.9 million, home equity of $9.6 million, commercial mortgage of $8.5 million, and automobiles of $6.2 million. These increases in the real estate portfolios were primarily due to an increased demand from both new and existing customers. The increase was partially offset by net decrease s in the Hawaii other consumer and construction loan portfolios.
The U.S. Mainland loan portfolio decrease d by $24.3 million, or 6.1% from December 31, 2016. The net decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in the commercial, financial, and agricultural and other consumer loan portfolios, partially offset by a net increase in the automobile loan portfolio. In March 2017, we purchased a U.S. Mainland direct auto loan portfolio totaling $24.1 million which included a $0.4 million premium over the $23.8 million outstanding balance. At the time of purchase, the auto loans had a weighted average remaining term of 55 months and a weighted average yield of 3.75%.

Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans and leases and other real estate, totaled $8.8 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 2016. There were no nonperforming loans classified as held for sale at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The decrease in nonperforming assets from December 31, 2016 was attributable to $0.6 million in repayments and $1.7 million in loans restored to accrual status, offset by additions of $1.9 million.
Net changes to nonperforming assets by category included net decreases in Hawaii commercial, financial and agricultural assets of $0.8 million and Hawaii residential mortgage assets of $0.6 million, partially offset by a net increase in Hawaii home equity assets of $1.2 million.
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") included in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2017 totaled $3.5 million and consisted of 18 Hawaii residential mortgage loans with a combined principal balance of $2.4 million and two Hawaii commercial, financial and agricultural loans with a combined principal balance of $1.0 million.
Concessions made to the original contractual terms of these loans consisted primarily of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to deterioration in the borrowers' financial condition. The principal balances on these TDRs had matured and/or were in default at the time of restructure and we have no commitments to lend additional funds to any of these borrowers. There were $15.4 million of TDRs still accruing interest at March 31, 2017, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent. At December 31, 2016, there were $16.2 million of TDRs still accruing interest, none of which were more than 90 days delinquent.

These increase s were offset by a net decrease in time deposits less than $100,000 of $3.1 million.
Core deposits, which we define as demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits less than $100,000, totaled $3.81 billion at March 31, 2017 and increase d by $97.4 million, or 2.6%, from December 31, 2016.
The following table sets forth the composition of our deposits by category for the periods indicated:

(dollars in thousands) | March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016 |  | $ Change |  | % Change
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits | $ | 1,290,632 |  |  | $ | 1,265,246 |  |  | $ | 25,386 |  |  | 2.0 | %
Interest-bearing demand deposits | 898,306 |  |  | 862,991 |  |  | 35,315 |  |  | 4.1 |

Capital Resources
In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with an analysis of the size and quality of our assets, the level of risk and regulatory capital requirements. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews our capital position on an ongoing basis to ensure it is adequate, including, but not limited to, need for raising additional capital or returning capital to our shareholders, including the ability to declare cash dividends or repurchase our securities.
Common and Preferred Equity
Shareholders' equity totaled $511.5 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $504.7 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in total shareholders' equity was attributable to net income of $13.1 million and other comprehensive income of $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially offset by the repurchase of 113,750 shares of common stock under our repurchase program, at a cost of $3.5 million, and cash dividends paid of $4.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repurchased approximately 0.4% of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2016.
Our tangible common equity ratio was 9.33% at March 31, 2017, compared to 9.29% at December 31, 2016. Our book value per share was $16.66 and $16.39 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our tangible book value per share was $16.53 and $16.23 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The tangible common equity ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Comparison of our tangible common equity ratio with those of other companies may
51

not be possible because other companies may calculate the tangible common equity ratio differently. Our tangible common equity ratio is derived by dividing common shareholders' equity, less intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), by total assets, less intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights).
Holding Company Capital Resources
CPF is required to act as a source of strength to the bank under the Dodd-Frank Act. CPF is obligated to pay its expenses and payments on its junior subordinated debentures which fund payments on the outstanding trust preferred securities.
CPF relies on the bank to pay dividends to it to fund its obligations. As of March 31, 2017, on a stand-alone basis, CPF had an available cash balance of approximately $15.5 million in order to meet its ongoing obligations.
As a Hawaii state-chartered bank, the bank may only pay dividends to the extent it has retained earnings as defined under Hawaii banking law ("Statutory Retained Earnings"), which differs from GAAP retained earnings. As of March 31, 2017, the bank had Statutory Retained Earnings of $93.7 million. On April 25, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share on the Company's outstanding common stock, which was a 12.5% increase from the $0.16 per share in the current quarter and a 28.6% increase from the $0.14 per share a year-ago.
Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. Our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and Hawaii law, including restrictions imposed by the FRB and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to, including covenants set forth in our subordinated debentures.
In January 2016, the Board of Directors approved the authorization to repurchase up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock (the "2016 Repurchase Plan"), which superseded in its entirety the repurchase plan that was previously approved by the Board of Directors.
In January 2017, the Board of Directors approved the authorization to repurchase up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock (the "2017 Repurchase Plan"), which supersedes in its entirety the 2016 Repurchase Plan. As of March 31, 2017, $26.5 million remained of the total $30.0 million total repurchase amount authorized by the Board of Directors under the 2017 Repurchase Plan. The plan has no set expiration or termination date.
Trust Preferred Securities
We have four statutory trusts, CPB Capital Trust II, CPB Statutory Trust III, CPB Capital Trust IV and CPB Statutory Trust V, which issued a total of $90.0 million in trust preferred securities. Our obligations with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust's obligations with respect to its trust preferred securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we may elect from time to time to defer subordinated debenture interest payments, which would result in a deferral of dividend payments on the related trust preferred securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty.
Regulatory Capital Ratios
General capital adequacy regulations adopted by the FRB and FDIC require an institution to maintain minimum leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratios. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios. For a further discussion of the effect of forthcoming changes in required regulatory capital ratios, see the discussion in our 2016 Form 10-K "Business — Supervision and Regulation."
The Company's and the bank's leverage capital, tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and CET1 risk-based capital ratios as of March 31, 2017 were above the levels required for a "well capitalized" regulatory designation.
52

Liquidity and Borrowing Arrangements
Our objective in managing liquidity is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in order to economically meet the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals and participate in lending and investment opportunities as they arise. We monitor our liquidity position in relation to changes in loan and deposit balances on a daily basis to ensure maximum utilization, maintenance of an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources.
Core deposits have historically provided us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low cost funds, but are subject to competitive pressure in our market. In addition to core deposit funding, we also have access to a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources, which include proceeds from maturities of our investment securities, as well as secondary funding sources such as the FHLB, secured repurchase agreements and the Federal Reserve discount window, available to meet our liquidity needs. While we historically have had access to these other funding sources, access to these sources may not be guaranteed and can be restricted in the future as a result of market conditions or the Company's and bank's financial position.
The bank is a member of and maintained a $1.44 billion line of credit with the FHLB as of March 31, 2017, compared to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2016. Short-term borrowings under this arrangement totaled $21.0 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $135.0 million at December 31, 2016, respectively. There were no long-term borrowings under this arrangement at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. FHLB advances available at March 31, 2017 were secured by unencumbered investment securities with a fair value of $0.2 million and certain real estate loans with a carrying value of $1.87 billion in accordance with the collateral provisions of the Advances, Security and Deposit Agreement with the FHLB. At March 31, 2017, $1.42 billion was undrawn under this arrangement, compared to $1.28 billion at December 31, 2016.
53

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our bank had additional unused borrowings available at the Federal Reserve discount window of $68.1 million and $63.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a carrying value totaling $129.9 million and $129.9 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on our line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window. The Federal Reserve does not have the right to sell or repledge these loans.
Our ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity is dependent on our ability to continue to maintain our strong risk profile and capital base. Our liquidity may also be negatively impacted by weakness in the financial markets and industry-wide reductions in liquidity.
Contractual Obligations
Information regarding our contractual obligations is provided in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2016.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices such as interest rates, foreign currency rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk that occurs when rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities mature or reprice during different periods or in differing amounts. Asset/liability management attempts to coordinate our rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities to meet our financial objectives. The Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") monitors interest rate risk through the use of interest rate sensitivity gap, net interest income and market value of portfolio equity simulation, and rate shock analyses. Adverse interest rate risk exposures are managed through the shortening or lengthening of the duration of assets and liabilities.
The primary analytical tool we use to measure and manage our interest rate risk is a simulation model that projects changes in net interest income ("NII") as market interest rates change. Our ALCO policy requires that simulated changes in NII should be within certain specified ranges, or steps must be taken to reduce interest rate risk. The results of the model indicate that the mix of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities at March 31, 2017 would not result in a fluctuation of NII that would exceed the established policy limits.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. See further discussion below.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as follows. The Company previously reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting over the completeness and accuracy of the information used in determining the allowance for loan and lease losses ("Allowance"). As more fully described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company implemented an enhanced Allowance methodology and a new Allowance software model. In connection with this implementation, the Company's internal controls were not properly designed or operating effectively to timely verify the completeness and accuracy of certain information which are inputs into the calculation of the Allowance reserve. Subsequent to management's determination of the material weakness, management promptly began taking the following remedial actions to address the reported weakness:
54

• | The Company enhanced the level of data validation (completeness and accuracy testing) in critical model calculations;

• | The Company established a more comprehensive management review control framework for critical data input, assumptions and results generated from the Allowance model; and

• | The Company engaged an independent third-party to review the Allowance methodology and calculation for conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and regulatory compliance and to validate the accuracy of the information used in the analysis.

Management anticipates that these remedial actions will strengthen the Company's internal control over financial reporting and will, over time, address the material weakness that was identified as of December 31, 2016. Because some of these remedial actions will continue to take place on a quarterly basis, their successful implementation may need to be evaluated over several quarters before management can conclude that the material weakness has been remediated.
55
