HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF) (the "Company"), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank" or "CPB"), today reported net income of $13.3 million, or fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.49 for the third quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $15.8 million, or EPS of $0.58 in the previous quarter and net income of $13.1 million, or EPS of $0.49 in the year-ago quarter. Results for the third quarter of 2024 were impacted by $3.1 million in pre-tax expenses related to our evaluation and assessment of a strategic opportunity. While the parties are no longer currently engaged in discussions, we remain interested in the opportunity under the right terms and conditions. Excluding these expenses, adjusted net income and EPS (non-GAAP) for the quarter was approximately $15.7 million and $0.58, respectively.

"Our third quarter core results were strong and we continue to pursue our strategies for future growth and additional internal operating efficiencies," said Arnold Martines, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our net interest income and net interest margin expanded as we successfully managed the balance sheet and repricing in this evolving interest rate environment."

"Central Pacific remains committed to supporting our customers and communities. We were pleased to open a new state-of-the-art branch in Kahului to support the business and personal financial needs of the Maui community as we move to expand our presence on the neighbor islands," Martines said.

Earnings Highlights

Net interest income was $53.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, which increased by $1.9 million, or 3.7% from the previous quarter, and increased by $1.9 million, or 3.7% from the year-ago quarter. Net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.07% for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 10 basis points ("bp" or "bps") from the previous quarter and an increase of 19 bp from the year-ago quarter. The sequential quarter increase in net interest income and NIM was primarily due to higher average yields earned on investment securities and loans of 11 and 9 bps, respectively, combined with a 1 bp decline in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The higher average yield earned on investment securities in the third quarter of 2024 includes $1.1 million in income from an interest rate swap that became effective on March 31, 2024, compared to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a provision of $2.2 million in the previous quarter and a provision of $4.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The provision in the current quarter consisted of a provision for credit losses on loans of $3.0 million, offset by a credit to the provision for off-balance sheet exposures of $0.2 million.

Other operating income totaled $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $12.1 million in the previous quarter and $10.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The higher other operating income was primarily due to higher income from bank-owned life insurance of $0.7 million, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income of $0.2 million.

Other operating expense totaled $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $41.2 million in the previous quarter and $39.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The higher other operating expense was primarily due to the aforementioned $3.1 million in expenses related to a strategic opportunity (included in other), higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million, and higher directors' deferred compensation plan expenses of $1.0 million (included in other).

The efficiency ratio was 70.12% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 64.26% in the previous quarter and 63.91% in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the aforementioned expenses related to a strategic opportunity, the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2024 was 65.51%.

The effective tax rate was 22.0% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 23.4% in the previous quarter and 24.9% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher tax-exempt income from bank-owned life insurance and additional tax credits recognized.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets of $7.42 billion at September 30, 2024 increased by $28.5 million, or 0.4% from $7.39 billion at June 30, 2024, and decreased by $222.5 million, or 2.9% from $7.64 billion at September 30, 2023.

The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to the addition of residential mortgage loans totaling $2.2 million which were well-collateralized with strong loan-to-value ratios.

Net charge-offs totaled $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $3.8 million in the previous quarter, and net charge-offs of $3.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

CENTRAL PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

TABLE 10

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to our GAAP results to provide useful information which we believe are better indicators of the Company's core activities. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

The following reconciling adjustments from GAAP or reported financial measures to non-GAAP adjusted financial measures are limited to the $3.1 million in pre-tax expenses related to our evaluation and assessment of a strategic opportunity. Management does not consider these expenses to be representative of the Company's core earnings.
