Among industry leaders across broad range of customer satisfaction indicators

  • Of 15 dimensions in national customer satisfaction benchmark survey,⁵ ten were in the top decile for 3Q26
  • Two dimensions rated in 99th percentile for 3Q26: employees and service reputation
  1. Total Case Incident Rate measures how many work-related injuries and illnesses occur per 100 employees. TCIR is calculated as follows: Number of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable cases multiplied by 200,000 productive hours (i.e. 2,000 work-hours per year per employee multiplied by 100 employees) divided by total number of productive hours for the year.
  2. Lost Time Rate measures any occupational injury or illness which results in an employee being unable to work a full assigned work shift after an incident per 100 employees. LTR is calculated according to OSHA guidelines as follows: number of Lost Time cases (injury or illness which an employee is unable to work a full assigned work shift as a result of a work-related injury or illness) multiplied by 200,000 productive hours divided by the total number of productive hours for the year.
  3. Customer satisfaction score is the company’s raw score from the Escalent Residential Customer survey. The percentile reflects the percentile compared to peer utilities.
  4. YTD safety figures are as of 9/30/26. YTD customer satisfaction data is an average of scores for the first three quarters of 2026.
  5. Escalent Residential Customer Benchmark Survey of more than 100 utilities.

Slide 8

Addressing Customer Affordability on Multiple Fronts

Initiatives target both energy cost and customer income sides of affordability equation

Financing investments at lower cost

  • Improving credit ratings through risk reduction
  • Securitizing up to $500M of wildfire mitigation, resilience and grid modernization costs (~$2 / month bill impact)
  • Pursuing additional federal funding opportunities, including a DOE loan, to reduce financing costs

Modest rate rebasing request

  • Rate rebasing request seeks recovery of three discrete cost categories, with Company-proposed reduction to manage affordability
  • Phased over two years to moderate bill impact
  • $100 million in realized customer savings to date from PBR

Reducing and stabilizing energy costs

  • Modernizing generation to increase efficiency
  • Adding renewables through competitive procurement to improve bill stability
  • Driving operating efficiency and process improvements
  • All fuels RFP to be launched in late 2026

Increasing customer options and support

  • Helping LMI customers with bill credits, payment plans and pre-disconnection solutions
  • Expanding bill management options, including bill due date choice

Supporting stronger incomes

  • Working with partners on workforce, economic development and affordable housing efforts to help Hawaii families earn more and spend less

Chart: Household energy burden by energy source

Hawaii’s household energy burden is below national average.

Region Total monthly household spending Electricity Natural Gas Rooftop Solar LCOE
U.S. Average 3.32% 77% 22% 2%
Hawaiʻi 2.55% 89% 2% 9%

1. Household energy burden is calculated as household energy spending (retail electricity sales + retail natural gas sales + levelized cost of residential solar) divided by the number of total households, as a % of median household income. 2025 data is the latest currently available as of November 2026.

PERFORMANCE-BASED REGULATION ALIGNS UTILITY BUSINESS MODEL WITH REGULATOR-APPROVED PRIORITY OUTCOMES

Slide 11

Annual Revenue Adjustments Provide Visibility, With Recovery Mechanism for Exogenous Events

  • Annual target revenues set with ARA during each 5-year Multi-year Rate Period (MRP)

Annual revenue adjustment formula:
i-factor minus x-factor plus z-factor minus customer dividend

i-factor — Accounts for annual inflation

  • Measured by Gross Domestic Product Price Index (GDPPI) from Blue Chip Economic Indicators forecast as of October of each year
  • October 2025 forecast for 2026: 2.8%
  • October 2026 forecast for 2027: 2.8%

x-factor — Productivity factor

  • Initially set at 0% (where it currently remains)

z-factor — Ex post opportunity to recover costs for exogenous events

  • Review and approval determined on case-by-case basis
  • Example: COVID-19-related costs recovered through Z-Factor
  • Potential mechanism for storm cost recovery (e.g., Hurricane Lala)

customer dividend — Three components:

  1. 0.22% adjustment
    ~Compounds over time. 2026 amount is $14.6M.
  2. Management audit savings commitment made in Hawaiian Electric 2020 rate case, approved by PUC at $6.6M annually
  3. ERP benefits returned to Hawai‘i Electric Light and Maui Electric customers. 2026 amount in effect is $3.3M

Slide 12

Rate Rebasing and PBR Review for Second Five-Year Rate Period Progressing

Rate Rebasing Milestones

  • Key procedural milestone complete, with public hearings held on all islands
  • Preliminary PUC schedule allows for a final decision and order in mid-to-late April 2027
    • Awaiting revised procedural schedule, expected in the near term

PBR Review / Redesign Process Nearing Conclusion

  • PBR stakeholder group has continued to meet regularly since 2024
  • Phase 6 will address design of specific PBR mechanisms; Company objectives include modifications to ARA, PIMs and EPRM¹
  • Reflects prior Company input and aligns with the Company’s expectations and planned approaches

PBR Phase 6

Period Milestone
2026 — Oct. 23 Phase 6 commenced with Staff Proposal
2026 — Nov. 13 Parties’ replies to Staff Proposal due
2027 — Early Jan. PUC’s Inclinations on final scope expected, to be followed by a procedural schedule
Continuing into 2027 Collaborative workshops, information requests, statements of position and briefs

Starting from a place of relative alignment, with Staff Proposal focused on many of our own objectives

Proposed Gradual Rate Increases Aligned with Inflation

Category Value
GDPPI adjustment $83.2
Insurance expenses $46.9
O&M reductions $5.1
Total 2027 increase $125.0
2028 Depreciation adjustment $44.8
Total increase requested $169.8

¹ See slide 13 for detailed Company priorities for Phase 6.

Slide 13

Additional Revenue-Enhancing Opportunities Being Pursued in Phase 6

PUC’s Guidance on PBR Phase 6

  • Proceeding to examine specific PBR mechanisms to determine what modifications should be adopted heading into MRP2
  • Stated focus is on Performance Incentive Mechanism (PIM) portfolio, Customer Dividend and collective revenue opportunities offered by i-factor and EPRM¹
    • Phase 6 commencing concurrently with alternative rate rebasing proposal²

Our Phase 6 Objectives Include:

Modifying forecasted GDPPI inflation adjustment

  • Base the inflation adjustment on actual rather than forecasted inflation, and better reflect actual inflationary pressures in our unique island operating environment
  • Use a blended index that incorporates the utility labor cost index

Revising PIM Portfolio

  • Ensure target performance is within the company's control to achieve, and limit number of PIMs to avoid dilution of effort and focus while ensuring PIMs cover core objectives
  • Expand reward potential to fulfill PUC's original intent³ that they provide a meaningful opportunity. Proposing up to 200 bps at risk (downside of 50 bps / upside of 150 bps)

Terminate Subtractive ARA Components

  • Eliminate the Management Audit Savings Commitment and return of ERP Benefits through Customer Dividend

Additional

  • Expand scope of EPRM to allow recovery for large “business-as-usual” costs; Revise approved cost of capital in future EPRM projects to reflect higher risk; Pension and OPEB tracker modifications⁴
  1. As stated in PUC Decision and Order No. 41876.
  2. PUC Order, including a Staff Proposal, issued on October 23, 2026, commencing Phase 6.
  3. Proposed 200 bps structure directly implements PUC staff’s original recommendation for “between three and six PIMs that, in total, would provide the HECO Companies with incentives that would increase or decrease earnings by 150 - 200 basis points.” (Staff Proposal for Updated Performance-Based Regulations, filed on February 7, 2019 in Docket No. 2018-0088).
  4. Modifications contemplated include adding 401(k) costs to the tracker, and eliminating unamortized balances at the end of each calendar year to avoid the need to reset tracker balances for amortization purposes at the end of MRP2.

Slide 15

Strategic Spending and Investment Support Rapid Reduction of Wildfire and Other Climate-Related Risk in Unique Island Service Territory

TARGETED SPENDING AND INVESTMENT

Over $400 million¹ in 2025 – 2027 spending to reduce wildfire risk and enhance grid resilience in the face of increasingly severe weather events

Category Spending
WMP capital $237
WMP O&M $80
Resilience Program capital $79
Grid Modernization capital $11
Total 2025 - 27 wildfire and resilience spend $407

Wildfire and resilience spending has rapidly reduced risk through technology implementation and operational changes, including Public Safety Power Shutoff program, advanced vegetation management and installation of A.I. cameras and weather stations to monitor conditions

¹ Expected to be recovered primarily through securitization. Resilience program capital expected to be recovered through EPRM.

Slide 16

Accelerated Progression of Wildfire Risk Reduction Efforts¹

Grid Hardening and Redesign

  • Replaced or upgraded 5,072 wood poles
  • Replaced 52.9 miles of overhead copper conductor with stronger aluminum conductor or covered conductor
  • Replaced 16,114 expulsion fuses with firesafe fuses
  • Replaced 4,594 lightning arresters with firesafe lightning arresters

Situational Awareness

  • Installed 135 weather stations along circuits in all high wildfire risk areas, providing key information about wind, temperature and humidity conditions
  • Installed 145 A.I. assisted high-definition video camera stations covering over 99% of high wildfire risk areas across our service territories

Operational Practices

  • Public Safety Power Shutoff program in place since July 2024
  • 24/7 watch office stood up to monitor for potential ignitions and forecast weather events
  • Spotters deployed in risk areas during hazardous weather conditions
  • In risk areas, set circuit breakers to automatically shut off faster when a disturbance is detected; in addition, lines are not re-energized until fully inspected
  • Developed risk maps based on potential of ignition
  • Conducted circuit inspections in high-risk areas

Stakeholder and Community Partnerships

  • Participated in more than 90 in-person and virtual public outreach events on Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Hawaii Island in 2025
  • Shared information through emails and printed mail, on social media and online, working to broaden the accessibility of information regarding critical wildfire safety issues, such as the PSPS program

Callout: Substantial Reduction in Risk of Ignition from Utility Equipment

¹ Includes installations from 1/1/24 through 9/30/26.

Slide 17

Hawaiian Electric’s Risk Profile is Differentiated from California

Hawaiian Electric’s system is a fraction of California’s in size and wildfire-exposed mileage — 622 high-risk T&D miles vs. 74,000 — enabling faster implementation of mitigation measures across its highest risk areas

T&D Miles in High Wildfire Risk Areas (119x)¹

Category Value
Hawaiian Electric 622
6 CA Utilities 74,000

Total T&D Miles² (27x)

Category Value
Hawaiian Electric 9,800
6 CA Utilities 265,000

Service Territory² (Square Miles) (27x)

Category Value
Hawaiian Electric 5,800
6 CA Utilities 156,000

Differentiating Factors

  • Only 6% of Hawaiian Electric's T&D is in high wildfire risk areas, vs. 28% for California utilities
  • Hawaii’s potential fuels are non-native grass and shrub, not coniferous forest
  • Scale is roughly 1/27th of California's system, allowing faster, fuller mitigation coverage

Hawaiian Electric's Wildfire Mitigation Plan has adopted many best practices from other wildfire-exposed utilities, allowing Hawaiian Electric to rapidly reduce risk through operational changes, including fast trip, block auto-reclose, public safety power shutoff (PSPS), proactive vegetation management, and installing AI cameras and weather stations to monitor conditions for PSPS shutoffs

Slide 19

Unique Legislative and Legal Protections Limit Economic Exposure to Potential Wildfires

Act 258 became law in 2025, acknowledging the importance of “protecting the financial integrity of Hawaii’s electric utilities” and “improving the utility's credit rating and lowering costs passed on to customers”

✓ State law establishes liability cap, with amount currently being determined

  • As directed by Act 258, the PUC is working to determine the amount of an aggregate liability cap on economic damages from future wildfires. The utility’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan, required for asserting the cap, has already been approved by the PUC¹

✓ Wildfire fund determined to be warranted in the future, following establishment of liability cap

  • In 2025, the PUC completed a study examining establishment and implementation of a wildfire recovery fund. The study concluded that, “a wildfire recovery fund is likely warranted in the future,” and recommended that the liability cap be established first, along with conducting an actuarial study to “determine an appropriate size and structure for a wildfire recovery fund.”

✓ Long-standing Hawaii law provides other unique protections

  • State law includes protections against non-economic damages, which often make up the bulk of damages awarded in wildfire cases in other states
  • Hawaii’s “Limitation on pain and suffering” statute states: “Damages recoverable for pain and suffering as defined in section 663-8.5² shall be limited to a maximum award of $375,000; provided that this limitation shall not apply to tort actions enumerated in section 663-10.9(2),³” capping a significant category of damages in personal injury cases

✓ Favorable Supreme Court ruling helps mitigate wildfire liability by limiting subrogation claims against defendants once the underlying claims against those defendants have been settled

✓ Inverse condemnation has not been applied to utilities for wildfires like it has in California

  1. Act 258 requires that the utility, “have a wildfire mitigation plan that is approved by the Commission and shall have sought and received a determination from the Commission that the plan is being implemented on the timeline approved by the Commission.”
  2. Pain and suffering is one type of noneconomic damage and means the actual physical pain and suffering that is the proximate result of a physical injury sustained by a person.
  3. The torts listed in HRS § 663-10.9(2), are: “(A) Intentional torts; (B) Torts relating to environmental pollution; (C) Toxic and asbestos-related torts; (D) Torts relating to aircraft accidents; (E) Strict and products liability torts; or (F) Torts relating to certain motor vehicle accidents. Act 258 became law in 2025, acknowledging the importance of “protecting the financial integrity of Hawaii’s electric utilities” and “improving the utility's credit rating and lowering costs passed on to customers”

Utility ROE—Our Strategy Sets Path to Improvement

Illustrative scenario assuming full year impact of rate rebasing (excludes potential PIMs)

Chart: Illustrative scenario assuming full year impact of rate rebasing (excludes potential PIMs)

Category Labelled value(s)
Current Utility Core ROE 5.8%¹
Rate Rebasing 3.0%
ARA and Separately Recovered Revenues 1.0%
Taxes and Other Miscellaneous Items 0.3%
O&M, Depreciation, and Return on Rate Base 0.5% - 1.0%
HEI Integration 0.2%
Forecasted Full Year Run Rate ROE 8.8%; 8.3%

Rate Rebasing Request

  • Company’s 5.3% base rate increase request supports critical investments needed to operate a safe, reliable and resilient system while recognizing the affordability challenges customers face in the current inflationary environment

Targeted ARA and Separate Recovery Mechanisms

  • Annual revenue increases cover inflationary pressures in our cost base and additional separately recovered revenues fund new wildfire, resilience, and generation assets.

Taxes and Other Misc. Items

  • Primarily driven by additional tax expense from higher rebasing, ARA, and separately recovered revenues

Targeted O&M, Depreciation, Return on Rate base

  • Operating within the annual revenue adjustment will be a key strategic priority through the second Multi-year Rate Period of PBR, helping company reach its allowed ROE

HEI Integration

  • HEI costs transferred to the Utility in 3Q26 and management continues to focus on driving efficiencies throughout the integration process.

¹ Utility LTM Core ROE as of 9/30/2026 of 5.2% includes year-to-date storm cost impacts of approximately 60 basis-points and HEI integration costs of approximately 10 bps. Excluding only storm costs, utility Core ROE is ~5.8%.

Hawaiian Electric Crews Responded Rapidly Despite Hurricane Lala’s Severity

  • Hurricane Lala caused extensive statewide damage as it passed through the southern portion of the island chain August 14–16
    • Severity of damage resulted in Presidential emergency declaration signed August 25
  • Hawaiian Electric crews responded rapidly
    • Although outages, at their peak, impacted over 40% of customer accounts across the utility’s service territories, utility crews made rapid progress restoring service, with more than 95% of affected customers restored by August 19
  • Hawaiian Electric is strengthening the grid while repairing damage
    • As storm-damaged power lines are replaced, the utility is strengthening the electric system where possible
    • In high wildfire risk areas, copper wire is being replaced with aluminum wire during restoration and repair work
  • O&M impact from Hurricane Lala estimated at ~$14 million¹. Lala O&M, along with O&M from other storms in the third quarter and the Kona Low storms earlier in the year, totals approximately $23 million¹
    • Approximately $19 million¹ of the total storm O&M is estimated as incremental and potentially eligible for recovery
  • The Company filed an application on October 21, 2026 requesting deferral accounting treatment for qualifying incremental storm costs, and expects to seek recovery separately once costs are finalized.

¹ The amounts presented reflect management's estimates as of September 30, 2026 based on information currently available. Actual total costs may differ materially from these estimates and such estimates do not factor in potential insurance coverage. Whether, and to what extent, the Company defers storm costs as a regulatory asset and ultimately recovers from customers depends on a review and approval by the PUC. The Company can give no assurance that recovery will be authorized, or that it will be authorized in the amounts, on the timeline, or on the terms requested. A disallowance or delay could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Subject and Description Docket # Latest Developments Next Milestone
Performance-Based Regulation<br>Proceeding to evolve regulatory framework to better align with customer interests and state clean energy policy 2018-0088 Beginning in 2024, this docket has focused on (a) whether - and if so, by what process - the utility’s rates should be rebased before the beginning of the next PBR multiyear rate period to commence in 2027 (“MRP2”), and (b) whether modifications to the PBR Framework were warranted for MRP2. On 2/27/2025, the PUC issued an order establishing that the utility may rebase rates with a 2026 test year consolidated rate case type proceeding. On 8/13/2025, the PUC issued an order providing process guidance for development of proposed PBR Framework modifications (PBR proceeding “Phase 6”), including potential party-proposed changes to the Annual Revenue Adjustment (“ARA” mechanism, EPRM mechanism and the PIMs portfolio).<br><br>On 8/28/2025, the utility filed a request to extend the time to file a rate case to allow collaboration among the PBR Working Group parties on an alternative rate rebasing proposal that could eliminate the need for a general rate case application and process. The PUC approved the request on 9/29/25 and noted that if the parties were unsuccessful in developing an alternative rebasing proposal, or if such a proposal were submitted and rejected by the PUC, the utility can file a 2027 test year rate case type proceeding in the second half of 2026. The PUC also noted that, depending on outcome of the alternative rate rebasing process, the PUC may defer the start of MRP2 beyond January 2027.<br><br>On 3/6/2026, the utility filed an alternative rebasing proposal jointly with PBR Working Group party Ulupono Initiative. The rebasing request proposed an increase in revenues of $170 million, which represents a consolidated increase of 5.3% compared to total operating revenues at current effective rates.<br><br>In an order issued on 6/15/2026, the PUC directed the utility to re-submit its request for an increase in its revenue requirement, with supporting materials, in the form of a new application, and established a tentative procedural schedule for the new proceeding. On 6/25/2026, the utility’s filed a motion for reconsideration of the PUC’s 6/15/2026 order regarding the rejection of the utility’s reservation of rights provision and the procedural schedule established in the order.<br><br>On 10/23/26, the PUC issued an order that introduced a proposal prepared by PUC staff, which identified possible modifications of certain PBR mechanisms in preparation for MRP2 (Staff Proposal). The PUC stated that the Staff Proposal is intended to be a starting point for discussion among the PBR Parties, which may result in further modification(s) of mechanisms or development of entirely different mechanism structures. To facilitate an open discussion, the PUC instructed the PBR Parties to file initial comments regarding the Staff Proposal by November 13, 2026. Order from the PUC addressing the utility’s motion for reconsideration of the PUC’s 6/15/2026 order.<br><br>Phase 6 of the PBR proceeding is in process and will vet and fully develop modifications to the PBR Framework for MRP2. Following consideration of the PBR Parties’ replies on the Staff Proposal, the PUC anticipates issuing an order by early January 2027, outlining its inclinations on some or all of the PBR mechanisms discussed in the Staff Proposal to provide guidance regarding the PUC’s priorities for the remainder of these proceedings. The PUC then plans to host a workshop with the PBR Parties, followed by Parties filing statements of position, a discovery period, a second workshop, an evidentiary hearing, and a briefing period. The dates for these procedural steps will be determined by the PUC.
Alternative Rebasing 2026-0162 In accordance with the PUC’s order in Docket No. 2018-0088, the utility filed its application for approval of its rebasing proposal on 7/17/2026. The PUC held public hearings regarding the utility’s application on the islands of O‘ahu, Maui, Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi, and Hawai‘i Island in late September through early November. Awaiting a procedural schedule from the PUC for review of the utility’s application for approval of its rebasing proposal.

How Do Separate Recovery Mechanisms Work?

  • EPRM: Provide specific revenue requirements for each project. Revenues are accrued with minimal lag, starting the first day of the month following project completion
    • Total revenue requirement (RR) for each project consists of a capital revenue requirement and an expense revenue requirement
    • RR = O+T+D+r(RB); Operating expenses + taxes + depreciation + return on rate base
  • Pilot Projects: Intended to foster innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that test new technologies, programs and business models. The utility can submit specific proposals and the PUC will target issuing a decision within 45 days, otherwise the proposal is considered approved as submitted
    • Allows utility to defer and recover total annual expenditures, subject to an annual cap of $10M, over twelve months

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

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

  • Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • the potential for further trade policy changes under the current administration could disrupt our supply chains and increase costs, e.g., the Utilities’ capital goods and equipment purchases and those of its independent power producers (IPPs) that contain components, sub-components, or raw materials sources from outside the U.S. could experience increases in costs, which could threaten the viability of projects and impact our ability to meet customer demand and the Utilities’ ability to achieve renewable portfolio standards (RPS) goals;
  • the impact of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, including potential liabilities in excess of settlement amounts and potential regulatory penalties, which may result in significant costs that may be unrecoverable (or not reimbursed on a timely basis) through insurance and/or rates;
  • an increase in insurance premiums and the inability to fully recover premiums through rates or the potential inability to obtain wildfire and general liability insurance coverage at reasonable rates, if available at all;
  • the ability to raise the amount of capital necessary on reasonable terms, if at all, for the Company’s and the Utilities’ contribution to the Maui wildfire tort litigation settlement in order to alleviate future conditions that may cause substantial doubt about HEI’s and the Utilities’ ability to continue as a going concern;
  • potential further dilution to existing shareholders if the Company raises funds by issuing additional equity or equity-linked securities;
  • the inability to execute financing plans to alleviate future conditions that may cause substantial doubt about HEI’s and the Utilities’ ability to continue as a going concern prior to the issuance of their respective annual financial statements, which could result in an event of default and an acceleration of the Company’s and the Utilities’ debt and lead to filing for bankruptcy protection if waivers from lenders are not received;
  • extreme weather events, including windstorms and other natural disasters, particularly those driven or exacerbated by evolving climate dynamics, which could increase the risk of the Utilities’ equipment being damaged, becoming inoperable or contributing to a wildfire;
  • future suspension, material reduction or extended delay in dividends or other distributions from operating subsidiaries to HEI;
  • further downgrades by credit rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and their impact on results of financing efforts;
  • the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured (e.g., damages to the Utilities’ transmission and distribution system and losses from business interruption) or underinsured (e.g., losses not covered as a result of insurance deductibles or other exclusions or exceeding policy limits), and the risks associated with the operation of transmission and distribution assets and power generation facilities, including public and employee safety issues, and assets causing or contributing to wildfires;
  • international, national and local economic and political conditions—including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries; the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets; decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii; the implications and potential impacts of federal government shutdowns, including the impact to the Utilities’ customers’ ability to pay their electric bills and the impact on the State of Hawaii economy; the implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions; the potential impacts of global and local developments (including global economic conditions and uncertainties, unrest, terrorist acts, wars, conflicts, political protests, deadly virus epidemic or other crisis); the effects of changes that have or may occur in U.S. policy, such as with respect to immigration and trade; and pandemics;
  • the ability to adequately address risks and capitalize on opportunities related to the Company’s and the Utilities’ sustainability priority areas, which include safety, reliability and resilience, including relating to wildfires and other extreme weather events, decarbonization, economic health and affordability, secure digitalization, human capital management, employee engagement, and climate-related risks and opportunities;
  • citizen activism, including civil unrest, especially in times of severe economic depression and heightened social and political divisions, which could negatively impact customers and employees, impair the ability of the Company and the Utilities to operate and maintain their facilities in an effective and safe manner, and citizen or stakeholder activism that could delay the construction, increase project costs or preclude the completion of third-party or Utility projects that are required to meet electricity demand, resilience and reliability objectives and RPS and other climate-related goals;
  • the effects of actions or inaction of the U.S. government or related agencies, including those related to the U.S. debt ceiling or budget funding, monetary policy, trade policy, energy and environmental policy, and other policy and regulatory changes advanced or proposed by the current administration.

  • weather, natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, lava flows and the effects of evolving climate dynamics, such as more severe storms, flooding, droughts, heat waves, and rising sea levels) and wildfires, including their impact on the resilience and reliability and cost of the Company’s and Utilities’ operations, and the economy;
  • the timing, speed and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, which could result in higher borrowing costs and changes in market liquidity;
  • the continued ability of the Company and the Utilities to access the credit and capital markets to fund necessary investments and expenditures (e.g., to obtain short-term and long-term debt financing, including lines of credit, and, in the case of HEI, to issue common stock) under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the potential higher cost of such financings, if available, and due to the uncertainties associated with the costs related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires;
  • the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension and other retirement plan assets, and the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension liabilities, including changes driven by stock market values, interest rates and mortality improvements;
  • changes in laws, regulations (including tax regulations), market conditions, interest rates and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements;
  • the potential delay by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) proposals related to rate rebasing, performance-based regulation (PBR), wildfire safety, renewable energy or grid resiliency, among others, and related costs; reliance by the Utilities on outside parties such as the State, IPPs and developers; supply-chain challenges; and uncertainties surrounding technologies, solar power, wind power, biofuels, liquefied natural gas, environmental assessments required to meet RPS and other climate-related goals; the impacts of implementation of the wildfire mitigation, renewable energy and resilience proposals on future costs of electricity and potential penalties imposed by the PUC for delays in the commercial operations of renewable energy projects;
  • the ability of the Utilities to develop, execute and recover the implementation costs of the Utilities’ action plans included in their Integrated Grid Plan, which was accepted by the PUC in 2024, due to the recent issuance of the PUC’s 2024 Inclinations on the Future of Energy in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green’s Executive Order No. 25-01, Accelerating Hawaii’s Transition Toward 100 Percent Renewable Energy, and the Hawaii State Energy Office’s Alternative Fuel, Repowering and Energy Transition Study on the aforementioned plans of the Utilities;
  • the ability of the Utilities to recover undepreciated cost of fossil fuel generating units, if they are required to be retired before the end of their expected useful life;
  • capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management, distributed generation, combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;
  • high and/or volatile fuel prices, which increases working capital requirements and customer bills, or delivery of adequate fuel by suppliers (including as a result of the Iran war, Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East), which could affect the reliability of utility operations, and the continued availability to the Utilities of their Energy Cost Recovery Clauses (ECRCs);
  • the continued availability to the Utilities or modifications of other cost recovery mechanisms, including the Purchased Power Adjustment Clauses (PPACs), annual revenue adjustment (ARA) and pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, and the continued decoupling of revenues from sales to mitigate the effects of declining kilowatt-hour sales;
  • the ability of the Utilities to recover increasing or additional costs (e.g., due to trade policies imposed by the current administration, tariffs, inflation, or other factors impacting prices) and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by the ARA, while providing the customer dividend required by PBR;
  • the impact from the PUC’s modification of the PBR for the Utilities pursuant to Act 005, Session Laws 2018, including the potential changes to existing and/or addition of new Performance Incentive Mechanisms (PIMs), third-party proposals adopted by the PUC, and the implications of not achieving performance incentive goals;
  • the impact of fuel price levels and volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the Utilities;
  • unfavorable changes in economic conditions, such as sustained inflation, higher interest rates or recession, that negatively impact the ability of the Company’s customers to pay their utility bills and increase operating costs of the Utilities that cannot be passed on to, or recovered, from customers;
  • the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts and related cost impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;
  • the growing risk that energy production from renewable generating resources may be curtailed and the interconnection of additional resources will be constrained as more generating resources are added to the Utilities’ electric systems and as customers reduce their energy usage;
  • the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);
  • the potential that, as IPP contracts near the end of their terms, there may be less economic incentive for the IPPs to make investments in their units to ensure the availability of their units;
  • the ability of the Utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable agreements for significant resources such as fuel supply contracts and collective bargaining agreements and avoid or mitigate labor disputes and work stoppages;

Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures

HEI management uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies’ core operating activities. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and they should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP earnings to non-GAAP Core earnings.

The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to Core earnings are limited to the items related to the Maui wildfires, including the settlement remeasurement and accretion, impacts from HEI’s ownership stake in American Savings Bank, including realized and unrealized gains, and costs related to HEI’s exit from Pacific Current operating businesses. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental Core earnings.
