HEI Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

11/07/2025
  • Utility Continuing to Reduce Risk in Our Communities Through Advancement of Wildfire Safety Strategy
  • Credit Facility Expansion and Successful Debt Issuance Enhance Liquidity, and Will Help Finance Critical Investments to Strengthen the Reliability, Resilience and Safety of Service to Utility Customers
  • Wildfire Tort Litigation Settlement Continues to Advance Toward Final Court Approval

Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported net income for the third quarter of 2025 of $31 million, or $0.18 per share. Excluding Maui wildfire-related expenses and expenses taken in connection with the review of strategic options for Pacific Current, Core1 income from continuing operations was $33 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $33 million, or $0.29 per share in 2024.

“Our core operations performed well in the third quarter, with the utility operating efficiently while continuing to advance the safety and resiliency measures outlined in our comprehensive Wildfire Safety Strategy. In September, we expanded our credit facility capacity to $600 million from $375 million, and successfully completed our first significant issuance of Hawaiian Electric debt since the Maui wildfires. The approximately $500 million in debt issuance proceeds, as well as the additional credit facility capacity, enhance liquidity and add financial flexibility, supporting investments in generation, safety, reliability and resilience across the islands we serve. Lastly, the Maui wildfire tort litigation settlement continues to advance, with a hearing on final court approval for the class settlement in the coming months. Our base case still assumes that our first settlement payment will occur no earlier than the first quarter of 2026,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.

Note:

Throughout this release, per share values are calculated based on diluted shares.

1 Measures described as “Core” for the periods in this news release are non-GAAP measures which exclude Maui wildfire-related costs and expenses taken in connection with the strategic review of Pacific Current. See the “Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures” and the related GAAP reconciliation at the end of this release.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS

Hawaiian Electric’s net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $37 million compared to a net loss of $83 million in the third quarter of 2024, with the increase primarily driven by the following pre-tax items:

  • The $203 million loss (which was partially offset by a $40 million insurance receivable) recorded in the third quarter of 2024 due to the accrual of estimated wildfire liabilities related to tort-related legal claims and cross claims; and
  • $6 million in higher revenues, primarily from the annual revenue adjustment mechanism.

These items were partially offset by approximately $3 million of lower benefits from tax credits recognized in the third quarter of 2025 versus the third quarter of 2024. O&M expenses were relatively flat in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year.

Hawaiian Electric’s Core net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $40 million compared to $44 million in the same quarter last year. Pre-tax wildfire-related expenses of $10 million were partially offset by approximately $6 million of costs deferred pursuant to the Public Utilities Commission’s decision allowing Hawaiian Electric to defer these costs.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies’ net loss was $6 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $41 million in the third quarter of 2024. The lower net loss for the quarter was primarily due to the asset impairment taken at Pacific Current in the third quarter of 2024, lower wildfire-related expenses and lower interest expense, net of interest income. Core net loss for the quarter was $7 million compared to $11 million in the third quarter of 2024.

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. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP1 earnings to non-GAAP Core earnings.

The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to Core earnings are limited to the costs related to the Maui wildfires and costs related to HEI’s ongoing review of strategic options for Pacific Current. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental Core earnings.
