The 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From Bank of Hawaii’s Q2 Earnings Call

StockStory
Bank of Hawaii’s second quarter results were met with a negative market reaction, as revenue growth came in below Wall Street expectations despite a solid 12% year-over-year increase. Management attributed the shortfall to seasonally lower deposits and persistent competition for funding, which limited opportunities for deposit cost improvement. CEO Jim Polk emphasized that net interest margin expanded for the ninth consecutive quarter, driven by ongoing repricing of fixed assets and disciplined deposit pricing, but acknowledged that the deposit environment remains highly competitive. Polk described the bank’s core deposit franchise as a critical strength supporting stability, though he noted that “the competitive environment for deposits remains elevated as customers continue to prioritize yield.” Is now the time to buy BOH? Find out in our full research report (it’s free). Revenue: $199.1 million vs analyst estimates of $199.7 million (13.2% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EPS: $1.47 vs analyst estimates of $1.46 (in line) Market Capitalization: $3.15 billion While we enjoy listening to the management’s commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls is the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Jeff Rulis (D.A. Davidson) asked about the sustainability of wealth management growth without market tailwinds. CEO Jim Polk responded that fee growth is supported by both ongoing production and recent investments, making it sustainable even if markets soften. Matthew Clark (Piper Sandler) inquired about deposit pricing competition and the need for promotional rates. CFO Brad Satenberg said competition has led to some upward movement in CD rates, but exception pricing remains limited and manageable. Jared Shaw (Barclays) sought clarity on the expected pace of share repurchases. Satenberg indicated $20 million per quarter in the near term, with further plans to be reevaluated going into 2027. Andrew Terrell (Stephens) questioned the drivers behind the loan growth outlook, particularly on commercial lending. Polk explained that a healthy pipeline and delayed project closings give confidence in meeting low- to mid-single digit loan growth targets. Kelly Motta (KBW) asked about expense discipline and the impact…Read full document

Satenberg confirmed that expense guidance remains unchanged and that the runoff targets higher-cost public deposits, which should help manage funding costs. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be watching (1) whether Bank of Hawaii can sustain net interest margin expansion amid heightened deposit competition, (2) the pace of commercial loan growth and the successful closing of projects in the pipeline, and (3) the impact of strategic runoff of high-cost public deposits on overall funding costs. Progress in wealth management and continued credit stability will also be important signposts. Bank of Hawaii currently trades at $79.90, down from $83.97 just before the earnings.

BOH Q2 Earnings Beat on Strong NII, Stock Dips on Lower Fee Income

Zacks
Bank of Hawaii Corporation BOH reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share (EPS) of $1.47, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.46. The bottom line also improved from $1.06 in the year-ago quarter. Shares of the company lost 4.7% in yesterday’s trading session despite posting better-than-expected results. BOH’s results benefited from higher net interest income (NII), margin expansion, solid loan growth and strong credit quality. However, lower fee income and a decline in deposit balances remained headwinds. The company’s net income (GAAP basis) came in at $63.8 million, up 34% year over year. BOH’s quarterly revenues increased 13% year over year to $196.9 million. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $198.3 million. NII was $153.6 million, up 18% year over year. Net interest margin (NIM) increased 39 basis points to 2.78%. Our estimate for NII and NIM was $154.8 million and 2.80%, respectively. Non-interest income was $43.3 million, down 3% year over year. The decline was mainly due to lower fees, exchange and other service charges and higher net investment securities losses, partially offset by higher trust and asset management fees, annuity and insurance income and bank-owned life insurance income. Our estimate for the metric was $42.1 million. Non-interest expenses rose marginally year over year to $111.2 million. Higher salaries and benefits, occupancy, equipment, professional fees and FDIC insurance costs were largely offset by lower other expenses. Our estimate for the metric was $112.9 million. The efficiency ratio was 56.47%, down from 63.49% in the year-ago period. A lower efficiency ratio indicates improved profitability. As of June 30, 2026, total loans and leases increased nearly 1% from the prior quarter to $14.3 billion. Our estimate for total loans and leases was $13.9 billion. Total deposits decreased marginally on a sequential basis to $20.9 billion. Our estimate for total deposits was $21.1 billion. As of June 30, 2026, non-performing assets were $11.5 million, down 36% year over year. Our estimate for the metric was $13.9 million. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $3.4 million, up from $2.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for the metric was $1.1 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.45%, up from 14.17% as of June 30, 2025. The total capital ratio increased to 15.48% from 15.23% a year ago. The ratio of tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets was 10.38%, up from 9.62% at the end of the year-ago quarter. Return on average assets was 1.07% at the end of the second quarter of 2026, up from 0.81% in the prior-year quarter. Return on average shareholders' equity improved to 13.74% from 11.21% a year ago. In the reported quarter, Bank of Hawaii repurchased 216 thousand shares of common stock at a total cost of $17 million. As of June 30, 2026, the total remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program was $88.9 million. Higher NII, continued margin expansion, healthy loan growth and a strong capital position are expected to support BOH's financial performance. Nonetheless, muted fee income growth, elevated expenses and deposit pressure are likely to remain challenges. Bank of Hawaii Corporation price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Bank of Hawaii Corporation Quote Currently, BOH carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Regions Financial Corporation RF has posted adjusted second-quarter 2026 earnings of 68 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 64 cents. Also, this compares favorably with earnings of 60 cents in the year-ago quarter. Increases in net interest income, wealth management income, service charges and lower provisions supported RF’s results. However, higher non-interest expenses and securities losses played spoilsport. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. PNC delivered adjusted earnings per share of $4.85 in the second quarter of 2026, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.51 and up from $3.85 a year ago. PNC’s results reflected higher net interest income, strong fee income growth, an improvement in the net interest margin and solid loan growth. However, higher expenses and a decline in the deposit balance were headwinds. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

Bank of Hawaii Corp (NYSE:BOH) reported a solid quarter with diluted earnings per share of $1.47 and net income of $63.8 million, reflecting increases of 13% and 11% respectively from the prior quarter. The net interest margin expanded by 4 basis points to 2.78%, marking the ninth consecutive quarter of margin expansion.

The Wealth Management division showed strong performance, benefiting from market conditions and increased customer demand for advisory-related services. The bank's strategic initiatives, such as the Center for Family Business and Entrepreneurs, are developing a strong client pipeline, enhancing its advisory capabilities. Average deposits declined modestly from the prior quarter, following a seasonal pattern, which may limit opportunities for deposit cost improvement in the near term. The competitive environment for deposits remains elevated, with customers prioritizing yield, potentially impacting deposit pricing. The criticized asset ratio increased to 2.81% from 2.12%, driven by a single borrower relationship, although the exposure is well secured by real estate. The absence of similar residential project closings is likely to moderate third-quarter growth in consumer lending. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased slightly, reflecting the rise in deposit costs and competitive deposit pricing pressures. Q: Can you provide an outlook for the wealth management segment for the rest of the year? A: James Polk, President and CEO, stated that the wealth management segment is expected to sustain its current performance, driven by both market conditions and production. Investments in Bankoh Advisors and the overall wealth platform have been fruitful, with increased efficiency and additional products contributing to growth. Q: What is the expectation for the net interest margin (NIM) by year-end, and what factors contribute to this forecast? A: Bradley Satenberg, CFO, indicated that the NIM is expected to reach approximately 2.90% by the end of the year. This forecast includes a projected rate hike in September and is supported by fixed asset repricing and a moderated deposit mix shift. Q: How are you managing deposit costs and competition in the current environment? A: Bradley Satenberg, CFO, noted that while competition has increased slightly, the bank is strategically managing deposit costs. There is a focus on growing deposits, particularly through CDs, with slight increases in rates for 3 and 12-month categories. Q: What is the outlook for loan growth, particularly in the commercial segment? A: James Polk, President and CEO, expressed confidence in achieving low to mid-single-digit loan growth for the year. The commercial pipeline is healthy, and while consumer growth may moderate, the overall outlook remains positive. Q: How are you approaching public deposits, and what impact might this have on your balance sheet? A: Bradley Satenberg, CFO, mentioned that public deposits are about $2 billion of the total deposit base, with plans to strategically allow 10% to 15% of high-cost public deposits to run off. This approach aims to optimize the balance sheet by reducing reliance on higher-cost funds. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Bank of Hawaii Corporation Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Achieved ninth consecutive quarter of net interest margin expansion, driven by the continuous repricing of fixed-rate assets and disciplined deposit pricing strategies. Performance attribution for the quarter includes a 13% increase in diluted EPS, supported by improved earnings power and a return on average common equity of 15.5%. Loan growth of 2.6% annualized was led by C&I and residential lending, the latter benefiting from the specific closing of a large condominium project. The deposit franchise remains a core structural advantage, with non-interest-bearing deposits maintaining a stable 27% share of the total mix despite seasonal outflows. Wealth management growth was driven equally by favorable market conditions and new production, specifically within trust fees and the Cetera partnership. Hawaii's economy remains resilient with 1.6% real growth projected for 2026, supported by low unemployment and strong military and construction investment. Credit quality remains a hallmark of the franchise, with net charge-offs at 10 basis points and a loan portfolio characterized by high FICO scores and low LTVs. Management maintains a target net interest margin approaching 2.9% by year-end 2026, assuming one 25-basis point rate hike in mid-September. Loan growth for the full year is projected in the lower mid-single digit range, though consumer growth is expected to moderate in Q3 following the completion of major residential projects. The bank plans to strategically allow approximately 10%-15% of higher-cost public deposits (priced between 3.5%-4%) to run off in the third quarter. Capital allocation strategy includes a planned $20 million in share repurchases for both the third and fourth quarters of 2026. Normalized non-interest expense is forecasted at approximately $112.5 million for the third quarter, aligning with a full-year growth target of 3%. The criticized asset ratio increased to 2.81% from 2.12%, though management attributed this entirely to a single, well-secured borrower relationship rather than systemic weakness. The competitive environment for deposits remains elevated as customers prioritize yield, which may limit near-term opportunities for further deposit cost improvements.

Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management noted that if one looked at the performance in Q3 on the wealth management side, the increase in fees was driven probably half by market and half by production. Growth is expected to be sustainable due to investments in the Bankoh Advisors platform and increased efficiency from the Cetera partnership. The 2.90% target is an exit rate for December rather than a quarterly average. The trajectory assumes a 5-basis point improvement per quarter driven by fixed asset repricing and a moderating deposit mix shift. The bank intends to let high-cost public funds (3.5%-4% range) run off to optimize the margin. This strategy is expected to result in a $100 million to $200 million decline in average earning assets in the near term. Management reported that loan spreads remain stable and the market is behaving rationally despite competitive pressures. The bank does not currently see a risk of significant spread compression on incremental reinvestment yields.

However, higher-cost public deposits and some seasonal balances are expected to run off in the third quarter. Credit quality and capital remain solid: Nonperforming assets stayed low at 0.08%, while the rise in criticized assets to 2.81% was attributed to one well-secured borrower relationship. The bank repurchased $17 million of shares, plans additional buybacks, and maintained its $0.70 quarterly dividend. 2 Regional Banks to Buy Amid the Chaos Bank of Hawaii (NYSE:BOH) reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $63.8 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, as net interest income and net interest margin continued to rise. Net income increased 11% from the prior quarter, while diluted earnings per share rose 13%, President and CEO James Polk said on the company’s earnings call. Return on average common equity improved to 15.5%. Net interest income rose to $153.6 million, and net interest margin expanded four basis points sequentially to 2.78%, marking the company’s ninth straight quarter of margin expansion. → MarketBeat Week in Review – 07/20- 07/24 Polk said the margin improvement reflected repricing in the bank’s fixed-rate assets and disciplined deposit pricing. The average cost of deposits was essentially stable at 1.27% during the quarter. Management said it continues to expect net interest margin to approach 2.9% by year-end, based on its interest-rate assumptions. Chief Financial Officer Brad Satenberg said the company’s forecast assumes a 25-basis-point rate increase in mid-September, with December net interest margin expected to be “just about 290.” → Volatility Is Back and These 3 Market Tollbooths Are Best Positioned to Profit Satenberg said earning-asset yields increased five basis points in the quarter, aided by a $2.8 million contribution from fixed-asset repricing. He expects earning-asset yields to continue improving at a similar pace through the rest of the year if interest rates remain stable. Deposit pricing has become more competitive as customers continue to prioritize yield, executives said. The company’s deposit beta declined slightly to 35.5%, while the cost of deposits was expected to settle in a range of 1.25% to 1.3% in the near term. → 2 Stocks Built to Thrive If Inflation Refuses to Fade Average deposits declined modestly in the second quarter, which Polk characterized as seasonally typical for Bank of Hawaii. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented about 27% of total deposits at quarter-end. During the question-and-answer session, management said the quarter also included outflows of project-related condominium funds and described the decline in noninterest-bearing deposits as part of normal seasonal fluctuations. The bank expects certain higher-cost public deposits to run off in the third quarter. Satenberg said public deposits total approximately $2 billion and that 10% to 15% of that balance could run off during the quarter, primarily deposits carrying rates of roughly 3.5% to 4%. Total loans increased $94 million during the quarter, representing annualized growth of about 2.6%. Commercial and industrial lending and residential mortgages drove the increase, while commercial real estate growth was affected by payoffs and the timing of deal closings. Residential mortgage growth benefited from the completion and closing of a large condominium project. Polk said that without similar projects in the near term, residential lending growth is expected to return to a more organic level in the third quarter. He also cited challenges in indirect auto lending and home-equity lending due to elevated rates and vehicle financing costs. Still, management reiterated its outlook for full-year loan growth in the lower-middle-single-digit range. Polk said the commercial lending pipeline began building early in the year and remains healthy, with some deals expected in the second quarter closing during the third quarter instead. Management said loan spreads have remained stable, with no current indication of significant compression in the approximately 160-basis-point spread between maturing and adjustable-rate cash flows and reinvestment yields. Chief Risk Officer Brad Shairson said credit performance remained strong. Net charge-offs totaled $3.4 million, or 10 basis points annualized, compared with an unusually low three basis points in the first quarter that reflected a large recovery. Nonperforming assets declined one basis point to eight basis points, while delinquency levels increased one basis point to 41 basis points. The criticized asset ratio rose to 2.81% from 2.12%, driven by a single borrower relationship rather than broader portfolio weakness, Shairson said. The associated loans continue to perform and are well secured by real estate. Consumer loans represented 56% of total loans, or about $8 billion. Residential mortgage and home-equity loans accounted for 86% of consumer loans, with a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 49% and weighted average FICO score of 799. Commercial loans totaled $6.2 billion, or 44% of total loans, with 72% secured by real estate. Commercial real estate loans totaled $4.3 billion, representing 30% of total loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases ended the quarter at $147 million, unchanged from the prior quarter. The allowance-to-loans ratio was 1.03%. Noninterest income increased to $43.3 million from $41.3 million in the first quarter. After adjusting for charges tied to a Visa conversion ratio change, normalized noninterest income rose $2.2 million, driven primarily by wealth management performance, including market gains, higher annuity demand and other advisory fees. Polk said wealth-management fee growth in the third quarter was expected to be supported roughly equally by market performance and production, excluding changes in market conditions. He cited investments in Bankoh Advisors, its partnership with Cetera, additional product availability and new advisers as factors supporting sales activity. Satenberg forecast normalized noninterest income of about $43 million in the third quarter. Noninterest expense totaled $111.2 million, down from $116.1 million in the first quarter, which had included seasonal payroll taxes, benefit expenses and nonrecurring compensation and severance charges. Third-quarter normalized noninterest expense is expected to be about $112.5 million. The company maintained capital ratios above well-capitalized regulatory thresholds, reporting a Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.5% and total risk-based capital ratio of 15.5%. Bank of Hawaii repurchased $17 million of common shares during the second quarter at an average price of about $78 per share and plans to repurchase an additional $20 million in the third quarter. Management also expects another $20 million of repurchases in the fourth quarter before reassessing the program for 2027. The board declared a common dividend of $0.70 per share, payable in the third quarter. Polk said Hawaii’s economy remains resilient, supported by low unemployment, visitor spending, construction activity and military investment. Hawaii’s Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism projects 1.6% real economic growth in 2026, though the bank said it continues to monitor inflation, energy costs, consumer confidence, travel demand and geopolitical and fiscal developments.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 113 paragraphs
Operator

Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speakers' presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, press star one one again.

Operator

Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Chang Park, Executive Vice President, Executive Director of Financial Performance and Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Chang Park

Good morning and good afternoon. Thank you for joining us today for our second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. Joining me today is our President and CEO, Jim Polk, CFO, Brad Satenberg, Chief Risk Officer, Brad Shairson, and Manager of Investor Relations, Patricia Lam.

Chang Park

Before we get started, I want to remind you that today's conference call will contain some forward-looking statements. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, the actual results may differ materially from those projected. During the call today, we will be referencing a slide presentation as well as the earnings release. Both of these are available on our website, boh.com, under the investor relations link. Now I would like to turn the call over to Jim.

Jim Polk

Thanks, Chang. Good morning and good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Bank of Hawaii delivered another solid quarter reflecting continued progress in the underlying earnings power of the franchise. For the second quarter, we reported diluted earnings per share of $1.47 and net income of $63.8 million, up 13% and 11% respectively from the prior quarter. Return on average common equity improved to 15.5%.

Jim Polk

Net interest income increased to $153.6 million, and our net interest margin expanded by 4 basis points to 2.78%. This marked our ninth consecutive quarter of margin expansion. The improvement reflected the continued repricing of our fixed rate assets, along with disciplined deposit pricing. Our average cost of deposits remained essentially stable at 127 basis points. The interest rate environment continues to evolve, with rates now expected to remain elevated for longer.

Jim Polk

We believe our balance sheet is well-positioned for this environment as higher rates support earning asset yields and the continued repricing of our fixed rate portfolio. At the same time, the competitive environment for deposits remains elevated as customers continue to prioritize yield, which may limit opportunities for deposit cost improvement in the near term. As we have discussed previously, the second quarter is typically a seasonally lower period for deposits at Bank of Hawaii, and this quarter followed that pattern.

Jim Polk

Average deposits declined modestly from the prior quarter. At quarter end, non-interest-bearing deposits continued to represent approximately 27% of total deposits. Our deposit franchise remains one of Bank of Hawaii's most important structural advantages. Our leading market position, trusted brand, diversified customer base, and deep relationships across our markets provides a stable core funding base.

Jim Polk

These advantages allow us to manage pricing thoughtfully while continuing to meet our customers' needs. Based on our performance through the first half of the year and our current interest rate assumptions, we continue to trend toward a net interest margin approaching 2.9% by year end. While the composition of margin opportunity has shifted somewhat in the current rate environment, we remain confident in the earnings trajectory of the balance sheet.

Jim Polk

Turning to lending, total loans increased $94 million during the quarter, representing annualized growth of approximately 2.6%. C&I and residential lending led the increase, while CRE growth was affected by payoff activity and the timing of deal closings. Residential mortgage growth benefited from the completion and closing of a large condominium project. Looking ahead, our commercial pipeline remains encouraging.

Jim Polk

On the consumer side, however, elevated interest rates and the absence of similar residential project closings are likely to moderate third quarter growth in consumer. We continue to expect full year loan growth in the lower mid-single digit range. Credit quality continues to be strong, and Brad will provide some additional details shortly. We also made progress on the strategic priorities we discussed last quarter. In wealth management, we are strengthening coordination across Commercial banking, The Private Bank, Bankoh Advisors, and our broader advisory capabilities.

Jim Polk

The Center for Family Business & Entrepreneurs, which opened in April, continues to develop its client pipeline around succession and estate planning, business valuation, merger and acquisitions, and other complex needs. Bank of Hawaii is uniquely positioned in our markets to bring together capabilities to help clients navigate these consequential financial and business decisions.

Jim Polk

Beyond these initiatives, our teams remain focused on disciplined execution, protecting our strong balance sheet, deepening customer relationships, investing in our people and technology, and supporting the communities we serve. Although the interest rate outlook continues to evolve, the fundamental strengths of Bank of Hawaii remain unchanged. A leading deposit franchise, a trusted brand, deep customer relationships, strong credit quality, and a conservatively positioned balance sheet.

Jim Polk

These strengths give us confidence in our ability to perform across a range of economic and interest rate environments. Turning to the economic outlook, Hawaii's economy remains resilient, supported by low unemployment, healthy visitor spending, strong construction activity, and military investment. The Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism currently projects real economic growth of 1.6% in 2026.

Jim Polk

At the same time, we continue to monitor inflation, energy costs, consumer confidence, travel demand, and broader geopolitical and fiscal developments. With that said, I'll turn the call over to Brad Shairson to discuss credit. Brad Satenberg will then review our financial results in greater detail, after which we'll be pleased to take your questions.

Brad Shairson

Thanks, Jim. I'll begin with an overview of our credit portfolio and conclude with asset quality metrics. As you will see, our performance has remained strong, consistent with prior quarters. Turning to our lending philosophy, the Bank of Hawaii is dedicated to serving our local communities, lending primarily within our core markets, where our expertise allows us to make informed and disciplined credit decisions.

Brad Shairson

Our portfolio is built on long tenured relationships with approximately 60% of both our commercial and consumer clients having been with the bank for more than 10 years. Geographically, our loan book is concentrated in markets we know well. Approximately 94% of loans are based in Hawaii, with 4% in the Western Pacific and just 2% on the mainland, primarily supporting existing clients who operate both locally and on the mainland. Our loan portfolio remains well-balanced between consumer and commercial exposure.

Brad Shairson

Consumer loans represent 56% of total loans, or approximately $8 billion. Within the consumer portfolio, 86% consists of residential mortgage and home equity loans, with a weighted average LTV of 49% and weighted average FICO score of 799. The remaining 14% of consumer loans are comprised of auto and personal lending.

Brad Shairson

Credit quality in these segments also remains strong, with FICO scores of 729 for auto loans and 761 for personal loans. Turning to commercial lending, the portfolio totals $6.2 billion, representing 44% of total loans. 72% is secured by real estate with a weighted average LTV of 55%. This reflects our ongoing emphasis on collateral protection. CRE remains our largest component of the commercial book, totaling $4.3 billion, or 30% of total loans.

Brad Shairson

In Oahu, the state's largest CRE market, a combination of consistently low vacancy rates and flat inventory levels continues to support a stable real estate market. Across industrial, office, retail, and multifamily property types, vacancy rates remain below or close to their tenure averages. Total office space on Oahu has declined by approximately 10% over the past decade, driven primarily by conversions to multifamily residential and lodging.

Brad Shairson

This structural reduction in supply, combined with the return to office trend, has brought vacancy rates back down to the long-term average and well below national levels. Our CRE portfolio remains well-diversified, with no single property type exceeding nine percent of total loans. Conservative underwriting practices continue to be applied consistently with weighted average LTVs below 60% across all CRE categories. In addition, diversification within each segment remains strong, supported by modest average loan sizes.

Brad Shairson

Scheduled maturities are also well-balanced, with more than 60% of CRE loans maturing in 2030 or later, reducing near-term refinancing risk. Looking at the distribution of LTVs, there isn't much tail risk in our CRE portfolio. Less than 3% of CRE loans have greater than an 80% LTV. C&I accounts for 12% of total loans, totaling $1.7 billion. This portfolio is diversified across industries characterized by modest average loan sizes, and there is very little leveraged lending.

Brad Shairson

Turning to asset quality, overall credit performance remains strong and consistent with the trends we've seen over the past several quarters. Delinquencies, non-performing assets, and net charge-offs all remained at favorable levels during the quarter. Net charge-offs were just $3.4 million, or 10 basis points annualized, in line with the last several quarters, but up from the abnormally low 3 basis points last quarter that resulted from a large recovery.

Brad Shairson

Non-performing assets declined 1 basis point to 8 basis points, while delinquency levels increased 1 basis point to 41 basis points. The one notable change this quarter was an increase in the criticized asset ratio to 2.81% from 2.12%. That increase was driven by a single borrower relationship rather than broader weakness across the portfolio. The loans related to the borrower continue to perform, and the exposure is well secured by real estate.

Brad Shairson

More broadly, 93% of our criticized assets are secured by real estate with a weighted average LTV of 58%. As an update on the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, the ACL ended the quarter at $147 million, flat to the linked quarter. The ratio of our ACL to outstandings ends down 1 basis point to 1.03%. This concludes my remarks. I will now turn the call over to Brad Satenberg for a discussion on our financial performance.

Brad Satenberg

Thanks, Brad. For the quarter, we reported net income of $63.8 million and a diluted EPS of $1.47, up $6.4 million and $0.17 per share from the linked quarter. As Jim mentioned, for the ninth consecutive quarter, both our NII and NIM expanded. Compared to the first quarter, NII increased $2.6 million and NIM improved 4 basis points to 2.78%. The expansion was primarily driven by our fixed asset repricing, partially offset by deposit mix shift, which accelerated for the first time in several quarters.

Brad Satenberg

Despite the increase this quarter, the broader trend remains positive. Over the past 12 months, the aggregate mix shift was only $17 million compared to $516 million during the same period a year ago. The yield on earning assets improved by 5 basis points during the quarter, which benefited from a $2.8 million contribution to our NII from the fixed asset repricing.

Brad Satenberg

Assuming that interest rates remain stable, I expect that the yield on our earning assets will continue to improve at a similar pace for the remainder of the year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 1 basis point during the quarter, consistent with the rise in deposit costs. Deposit costs were 1.27%. The deposit beta declined slightly to 35.5%.

Brad Satenberg

As interest rate expectations have shifted, deposit pricing has become more competitive than earlier in the year, contributing to the higher deposit mix shift along with the modest increase in deposit costs this quarter. In the current rate environment, I expect our cost of deposits to settle in the range of 1.25%-1.3% in the near term. I also expect public deposits to decline in the third quarter as we strategically allow certain higher cost funds to run off.

Brad Satenberg

I'm forecasting that any interest rate hikes would initially benefit NII and NIM but would ultimately become a modest headwind once our deposits fully reprice. The velocity of the impact from any change in rates will depend on the timing of deposit pricing adjustments and the terminal beta reached. I expect the deposit beta of any potential rate hikes to ultimately land at approximately 34%, which would mirror our beta from the last rate hike cycle.

Brad Satenberg

Regardless of any potential rate changes, I believe that we are well positioned to remain balanced from an interest rate sensitivity perspective. At quarter end, our fix-to-float ratio was 58%, down one percentage point from the prior quarter. We finished the quarter with an active pay fixed receive float swap portfolio of $1.4 billion, with a weighted average fixed rate of 3.3% and an average life of 1.4 years.

Brad Satenberg

$1 billion of these swaps hedge our loan portfolio, while $400 million hedge our securities. In addition, we have $200 million of forward-starting swaps with a weighted average fixed rate of 3% and an average life of 2.1 years. These swaps will become effective during the third quarter. Non-interest income was $43.3 million during the quarter, compared to $41.3 million during the linked quarter. This quarter included a $400,000 charge related to our Visa Class B conversion ratio change, while the first quarter included a similar $200,000 charge.

Brad Satenberg

Adjusting for these normalizing items, non-interest income was up $2.2 million. This improvement was primarily due to the strength of our wealth management division, which benefited from a strong market, as well as increased customer demand for annuity investments and other advisory-related fees. My forecast for the third quarter is that normalized non-interest income will be approximately $43 million.

Brad Satenberg

Non-interest expense was $111.2 million, compared to $116.1 million during the linked quarter. As a reminder, the first quarter included a seasonal payroll tax and benefits charge of $2.8 million, as well as non-recurring charges related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards of $3.5 million and an unrelated severance charge of $750,000.

Brad Satenberg

This quarter includes our annual merit increases of approximately $1.2 million and a $500,000 benefit in connection with the net forfeiture of unvested restricted stock. Excluding the impact of these items, expenses were up slightly compared to the first quarter. Third quarter normalized non-interest expense is expected to be approximately $112.5 million. During the quarter, we also recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.6 million, resulting in a coverage ratio of 1.03%. In addition, we reported a provision for taxes of $18.3 million during the quarter, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.3%.

Brad Satenberg

The drop in the tax rate compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to higher benefits from certain tax-advantaged investments. Our capital ratios remained above the well-capitalized regulatory capital thresholds during the quarter, with Tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital of 14.5% and 15.5%, respectively. Consistent with the linked quarter, we paid dividends of $28 million on our common stock and $5.3 million on our preferreds.

Brad Satenberg

During the second quarter, we repurchased $17 million of common shares at an average price of approximately $78 per share. I am currently planning to purchase an additional $20 million of stock during the third quarter, and $89 million remains available under the current repurchase plan. Finally, the Board declared a dividend of $0.70 per common share that will be paid during the third quarter. Now I'll turn the call back over to Jim.

Jim Polk

Thanks, Brad. We'd now be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Operator

Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Jeff Rulis with D.A. Davidson. Your line is now open.

Jeff Rulis

Thanks. Good morning.

Jim Polk

Hey, good morning, Jeff.

Jeff Rulis

Jim, you alluded to in your initial remarks on the wealth management momentum. Brad kind of followed with the pieces of that strength. Pretty solid for trust in asset management. What kind of growth do you see the rest of the year, I guess, if you strip out, I guess, the strong market is a variable. Just wanted to see the outlook for that line item as you see it.

Jim Polk

Yeah. It's always hard to judge these things with market conditions, but we feel really good about where we're at. Obviously, we've talked on several calls now just about the investments we've made in both Bankoh Advisors as well as the overall wealth platform. I would say that if you looked at the performance in Q3 on the wealth management side, the increase in fees was driven probably half by market and half by production. We had some trust and testamentary fees that came in as well. I would see that as sustainable without market change going forward.

Jim Polk

On the Bankoh Advisor side, I think you're really beginning to see sort of the partnership with Cetera, the greater efficiency that we've incorporated into the business, additional products that we've availed through the segment, the advisors that we're adding to the team just helping to drive overall sales.

Jeff Rulis

Appreciate it. One other one I had is just to check in on that margin you mentioned of the high 2% or approaching 2.9% by year-end. It sounded like the composition of how you get there shifted a little bit and just, I guess if you couch this quarter's sequential increase in how you get there, if you could just provide a little more color through the back half of how you get there, that would be helpful.

Jim Polk

Sure. Maybe I'll have Brad answer that question.

Brad Satenberg

Thanks, Jeff. That's a good question. Our NIM for the quarter was 278. June was at 279. Now we're forecasting one rate hike this year. Mid-September is what we have in our forecast. All the components are still in place for the NIM to continue to grind higher.

Brad Satenberg

We've got the fixed asset repricing, which we feel real good about, and the mix shift has moderated, even though we took a step back this quarter. Really, if you look at over the longer term trend, it's been positive. With the rate hike and with the mix shift and with the fixed asset repricing, I think we get to 290 by the end of the year. That's, I think we're looking at 5 basis points in NIM per quarter going forward.

Jeff Rulis

Brad, just to clarify, that's a true exit, not the quarterly average in Q4.

Brad Satenberg

My expectation is December would be just about 290.

Jeff Rulis

Sounds good. Thank you. Step back.

Jim Polk

Thanks, Jeff.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Matthew Clark with Piper Sandler. Your line is now open.

Matthew Clark

Hey, good morning, everyone.

Jim Polk

Good morning.

Matthew Clark

Maybe just a little more on the margin. If you had the spot rate on deposits at the end of June and how you're

Jim Polk

Yes.

Matthew Clark

I was just, as a follow-on to that, just whether or not you're having to make any tweaks on exception pricing here, any upward pressure there, or any changes to your promotional rates.

Brad Satenberg

All right. Just to answer your first question, Matt, the spot rate was 126, so it was down 1 basis point from what our cost was for the quarter. As far as exception pricing, obviously, I think competition has increased slightly, and I think there are some additional requests for some exception pricing, but it hasn't been material or significant. We are looking at opportunities to grow deposits, and with that comes some additional pricing on our CDs. We do think we're going to be pushing CD rates up slightly in the three and 12-month categories. Nothing material, but we do see that moving up.

Matthew Clark

Okay. Just on the securities portfolio down this quarter, should we continue to assume that shrinks, or are you going to start reinvesting there?

Brad Satenberg

I wouldn't assume it's going to shrink. I think this quarter, between the loan growth that we experienced as well as we had some deposit runoff, so we used the excess cash flows from the investment portfolio to support those two. We did take a step back in our investments, and I think we'll just continue to reinvest at a pace, and it will really be dictated by what we see from the loan growth standpoint.

Matthew Clark

Got it. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jared Shaw with Barclays. Your line is now open.

Jim Polk

Hey, Jared. Good morning.

Jared Shaw

Hi. Thank you. Good morning. Yeah, I guess sticking with the deposits, was there anything unique about the DDA trends this quarter, maybe apart from some of the public funds? How are you thinking about sort of DDA as a component of growth going forward?

Jim Polk

Yeah. I think the way I would characterize it is obviously the quarter was down, but if you look over the last several quarters, we've grown consistently. I just went back five quarters. We've had really nice growth going back to the beginning of 2025, and we had particularly strong growth in Q4 and in Q1 of 2026.

Jim Polk

I really look at, particularly on the NIBD side, as just sort of the normal ebbs and flows and the seasonality of Q2. There were some project-related funds that built up related to some of the condo stuff that moved out. We're confident that the long-term sort of trend and sustainability of growth in the space still remains.

Jared Shaw

Okay. All right. Thanks. Then, on the buyback, thanks for the update on the $20 million expected for the third quarter. Is that $20 million a quarter given capital and growth dynamics, and is that a good level to sort of assume for the next few quarters beyond the third quarter?

Brad Satenberg

This is Brad. I would say, obviously, $20 million for the third quarter. I would expect $20 million for the fourth quarter as our forecast and our expectation, and then we're going to reevaluate it going into 2027.

Jared Shaw

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Andrew Terrell with Stephens. Your line is now open.

Andrew Terrell

Hey, good morning.

Jim Polk

Good morning.

Andrew Terrell

Hey, if I could go back to just the loan growth quickly. I think you mentioned in the prepared remarks kind of the low-mid single-digit kind of goalpost was still where you were looking for kind of full year loan growth. I heard some of the comments around just maybe some tougher consumer in the third quarter. I am hoping you could just talk to maybe how the pipeline's building up overall, specifically on the commercial side. What gives you confidence in growth fit? I think the guide implies stable to maybe improving growth in the back half of the year.

Jim Polk

Yeah. On the residential side or on the consumer side, overall production was quite strong relative to our recent history. A component of that, maybe 25% of the total production, was related to a condominium project that closed out this quarter. That gave us some extra juice on the residential side to maybe drive some, I'll use the term outsized performance, at least relative to our recent history.

Jim Polk

Without any projects in the near horizon, we'll kind of go down to a more organic level of growth in residential. It'll still be positive, but it's not going to be nearly the level it was for Q2. We continue to see challenges in indirect and home equity, just given the rate environment and sort of the realities of cost of cars and financing of cars and so forth.

Jim Polk

It'll be positive for the quarter, and it'll contribute to sort of the guide that I've already provided. The commercial side's looking pretty good. We really started to see the pipeline build out in the beginning part of the year. Q1 was a solid quarter.

Jim Polk

Q2, we were expecting a little bit better performance, but we had some deals move out to the third quarter. We've seen those close already, the pipeline remains pretty good from my standpoint. Healthy. I feel pretty good about commercial growth, and I think the combination of what we see on the commercial side as well as consumer will keep us in that low-mid single-digit range.

Andrew Terrell

Okay, great. Just one on the margin, just to confirm the expectation for 290 exit rate of the year. That does include the assumption for the September rate hike of 25 basis points in there. I was hoping you could talk to, we heard some around the competitive dynamics on the deposit side, just competition for new loans today and your comfortability with, I think your kind of blended reinvestment yield for the fixed and adjustable cash flows was still 160 basis points this quarter, same as last quarter. Your comfortability with that remaining relatively stable moving forward.

Jim Polk

There was a lot in there. Can you repeat that again just to make sure we're answering your question correctly?

Andrew Terrell

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Jim Polk

No, that's okay.

Andrew Terrell

Does your guide include the 290 exit margin include the 25 basis point September hike?

Brad Satenberg

That's correct. Yeah. We're expecting mid-September to have one hike, 25 basis points.

Andrew Terrell

Okay. Competition for new loans today. Do you feel like there's any risk to that incremental spread on page 20 of the deck, 160 basis point pickup for the maturity and adjustable cash flow reinvestment? Do you feel like there's any risk of spread compression there?

Jim Polk

No, I don't see that at this point. Spreads have been pretty stable for a while on the loan side. As we've said in previous quarters, there's always a one-off, but the market remains pretty rational.

Andrew Terrell

Okay. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Andrew Liesch with StoneX Group. Your line is now open.

Andrew Liesch

Hey, everyone. Good morning.

Jim Polk

Hey, good morning, Andrew.

Andrew Liesch

Just want to see, just kind of looking at the size of the average earning asset base here going forward. Have you seen deposits come back in seasonally this quarter? It also sounds like you're going to have some other public funds outflows. I guess, how should we be thinking about where earning assets shake out?

Brad Satenberg

I'll start and then Jim can chime in. This is Brad. Yeah, our average earning assets definitely took a step down from previous quarters. I expect it to come in probably in the range of $100 million-$200 million this quarter. Relatively consistent where we ended this past quarter.

Andrew Liesch

Got it. All right. That's helpful.

Jim Polk

Then just on the

Andrew Liesch

Yeah, go ahead, sorry.

Jim Polk

I was just going to add, I think one of the things that we see out there, particularly in the deposit space, is sort of the higher cost public deposits. We're going to take a pretty strategic approach on how we look at those things, and that could have an impact on the ultimate earning asset base.

Andrew Liesch

Got it. Makes sense. Okay. Just on the fee income, did I hear correctly, like $43 million for the third quarter?

Brad Satenberg

That's correct.

Andrew Liesch

Okay. If I take the $43.3 this last quarter, if I back out the securities loss there, you're kind of close to $44.3 million, I mean, or $44 million. I guess, what's going to cause the step down here, especially given the good commentary on the wealth side?

Brad Satenberg

Well, it's really not a step down. If you think about those securities losses, really what those are are the Visa conversion ratio. Right. Yes. Those are consistent quarter to quarter. The $43 million is really just consistent to where we finished the second quarter. It's really a step up from the first quarter and sort of remaining relatively flat from the second quarter.

Andrew Liesch

Okay. Got it. That's a good way to think about it. Thanks so much. I'll step back.

Brad Satenberg

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question at this time, please press star one one on your touchtone telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Kelly Motta with KBW. Your line is now open.

Kelly Motta

Hi. Thank you so much for the question. It seems like based on Q2 results as well as your expense guide of $112.5 million in Q3, that you're running below or at least at the lower end of the 2.5%-3% expense guide range you had previously given. Can you provide any color or context as to the drivers of that? If there's any updated color on how you see expenses coming in for the year. Thanks.

Brad Satenberg

Yeah. I think the 2.5%-3% is still consistent. The way I look at it is our normalized non-interest expense going into the year was $435 million. We're just adjusting for normalizing items. At 3%, it should come in about $448 million for this year. I'm thinking on average, quarter by quarter, it's about $112 million. The first two quarters we came in slightly below that. I'm expecting the third and fourth quarter to come in in that $112.5 range, which would land us at the end of the year right about 3% from that normalized level I was just referencing.

Kelly Motta

Got it. Okay. That's helpful. With the government deposits being strategic there, can you quantify how large that is in your deposit base? What within that-- Because I'm sure there's some operating accounts. What within that is the target for strategic reduction?

Brad Satenberg

Our public deposits are about $2 billion of our total deposit base. My expectation is this quarter for us, as far as running off public deposits, about 10%-15% of those should run off, and those would be high-cost deposits. When I say high cost, I'm thinking somewhere in the range of 3.5%-4%.

Kelly Motta

Okay. Got it. That's helpful. Just if I could ask one more. When we step back and think about the margin longer term, I think you've reiterated that 2.90% by year-end, which now includes the rate hike, which I understand is beneficial near term, but maybe more neutral longer term. As we think about that 3.25%-3.50% normalized margin, any twists or takes in terms of the timeline of getting there? Is that still kind of how we're thinking about it in kind of this change rate environment, or are there any other considerations to note? Thanks.

Brad Satenberg

The way I look at it is we're still on that trajectory depending on what happens in interest rates. There's a lot of variability. This is still a couple of years down the road as we've talked about, but I don't see anything sort of at this point in time that would cause us to deviate materially from that.

Kelly Motta

Got it. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. I'm currently showing no further questions at this time. I'd now like to hand the call back over to Patricia Lam for closing remarks.

Bank of Hawaii (BOH) Earnings Expected to Grow: What to Know Ahead of Next Week's Release

Zacks
The market expects Bank of Hawaii (BOH) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 27, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. This bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.46 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +37.7%. Revenues are expected to be $198.31 million, up 13.7% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). For Bank of Hawaii, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.37%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4. So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Bank of Hawaii will beat the consensus EPS estimate. While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Bank of Hawaii would post earnings of $1.33 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.30, delivering a surprise of -2.26%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Bank of Hawaii doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release. First Hawaiian (FHB), another stock in the Zacks Banks - West industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $0.6 for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +3.5%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $227.91 million, up 4.8% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for First Hawaiian has been revised 1.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.84%. This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), suggests that First Hawaiian will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
