5 Must-Read Analyst Questions From First Hawaiian Bank’s Q2 Earnings Call
First Hawaiian delivered second quarter results that exceeded market expectations, with steady year-on-year growth driven primarily by loan expansion and stable credit quality. Management highlighted increased activity in commercial and industrial lending, as well as commercial real estate, which offset declines in other areas. CEO Bob Harrison pointed to Hawaii’s resilient economic backdrop and described the housing and tourism sectors as supportive, saying, “Visitor arrivals and local real estate remain strong contributors to our overall stability.” The bank’s balance sheet remained healthy, with capital and liquidity metrics holding steady, and noninterest income benefitting from higher bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) returns and one-time items. Is now the time to buy FHB? Find out in our full research report (it’s free). Revenue: $228.3 million vs analyst estimates of $227.5 million (4.9% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EPS: $0.60 vs analyst estimates of $0.59 (2% beat) Market Capitalization: $3.40 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. Kelly Motta (KBW) asked about the nature of deposit outflows and seasonality. CFO Jamie Moses clarified that declines were expected, driven by government account reallocations, and not by lost customer relationships. Kelly Motta (KBW) questioned pricing competition in loans and deposits. Moses said competition in Hawaii remains stable and rational compared to mainland peers, with little change expected in pricing trends. Anthony Elian (JPMorgan) inquired about the higher NIM guidance. Moses attributed the increase to favorable balance sheet repricing dynamics and updated macroeconomic assumptions. Andrew Terrell (Stephens) sought clarification on the anticipated uptick in expenses. Moses explained the rise would come from continued hiring, project completions, and merger-related costs in the second half of the year. Matthew Clark (Piper Sandler) asked for an update on the 25% cost savings target from the TriCo deal. Moses confirmed the target remains unchanged and expects it to be achieved through various integration initiatives. Going forward, the StockSt…Read full documentShow less

First Hawaiian, Inc. Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
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. Loan growth of 3.6% annualized was primarily driven by C&I dealer flooring and Hawaii corporate portfolios, alongside the conversion of $95 million in construction loans to CRE. The 2 basis point decline in total deposit costs was attributed to the outflow of higher-cost public deposits and a stable, rational competitive environment in Hawaii. Net interest margin expansion of 6 basis points was fueled by favorable deposit mix changes, higher loan yields, and a strategic reduction in lower-yielding cash balances. Management attributes the reduction in the allowance for credit losses to a material decrease in classified assets and sustained healthy credit metrics. The Hawaii economy remains a tailwind, characterized by a stable 2.5% unemployment rate and a 7.5% year-to-date increase in visitor spending. Despite a weak yen, tourism from Japan is showing incremental recovery as travelers prioritize trips to Hawaii over waiting for more favorable exchange rates. The updated NIM outlook of 3.24% to 3.25% for the full year incorporates the assumption of one Federal Reserve rate hike occurring early in the fourth quarter. Management expects to maintain cash balances around the $1 billion level for the remainder of the year, prioritizing loan growth over liquidity accumulation. The balance sheet remains asset-sensitive, with approximately $6 billion in assets poised to reprice immediately against $3.5 billion to $4 billion in rate-sensitive liabilities. Expense guidance of $515 million to $520 million excludes TriCo transaction costs and assumes increased hiring and the finalization of IT projects in the second half of the year. Commercial deposits are expected to follow historical seasonal patterns, building balances through the third and fourth quarters after first-half volatility. The bank incurred $4.2 million in expenses related to the TriCo transaction during Q2, with higher integration and closing costs anticipated in the second half of 2026. Noninterest income was bolstered by non-recurring items including an excise tax refund and a market-driven write-up of certain BOLI products.

Share buybacks are likely suspended for the remainder of the year as the company prioritizes capital preservation for the TriCo merger and regulatory approval process. The TriCo merger remains on track to close near the end of the year, with three members of TriCo's leadership slated to join the senior management team. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management clarified that the $467 million decline in public deposits was expected and related to operating account volatility rather than lost relationships. Retail deposits remained flat, while commercial declines were attributed to typical first-half seasonality. The C&I pipeline is described as robust, particularly in the dealer flooring segment where the bank is acquiring new customer relationships. Residential mortgage production is expected to remain slow due to the current high interest rate environment. The projected increase in expenses is driven by strategic investments in personnel to support loan pipelines and the capitalization of professional service and IT projects. Management intends to let the TriCo team operate with significant independence, leveraging their existing expertise in Mainland markets. CEO Bob Harrison noted that his travel schedule will pivot from East Coast regulatory commitments to West Coast integration efforts.

Q: Can you discuss the decline in deposits, particularly government deposits, and the trends in retail and commercial deposits? A: The decline in government deposits was expected due to elevated balances at the end of Q1. This was not due to a loss of relationships but rather partners finding better investment opportunities. Retail deposits remained flat, and commercial deposits showed seasonal volatility, expected to increase in the latter half of the year. Q: How is the pricing competition on loans and deposits in Hawaii, especially with the Fed's current stance? A: The competition remains rational, with no significant changes. While deposit costs may rise on the Mainland, we expect them to remain flat or slightly increase in Hawaii. Loan pricing competition remains stable. Q: What is driving the loan growth, and how do you see it progressing in the second half of the year? A: We have a robust pipeline in both C&I and CRE loans, with strength in the dealer side and new customer relationships. Residential loan growth is slowing due to the rate environment. Q: Can you explain the NIM outlook and the factors contributing to the revised range? A: The revised NIM outlook reflects balance sheet repricing dynamics and a change in macroeconomic outlook. We expect continued repricing benefits, with a spread of about 140-150 basis points on roll-on, roll-off assets. Q: What are the expectations for share buybacks in light of the TriCo deal? A: We are unlikely to conduct share buybacks for the rest of the year as we focus on the TriCo transaction and regulatory processes, although we have the authorization to do so if needed.

First Hawaiian Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in First Hawaiian, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Loan growth and margin improved in Q2 2026, with total loans up $137 million and net interest margin rising six basis points to 3.25%. Management also lifted its full-year margin outlook to 3.24%–3.25% on expectations for one rate increase later this year. Deposits fell sharply by $623 million, mainly because of expected public-deposit outflows, but executives said retail and commercial balances were broadly stable and should improve seasonally in the second half. The bank’s noninterest-bearing deposit ratio remained 32%, and deposit costs edged lower. First Hawaiian is focused on its TriCo Bancshares deal, expected to close near year-end, and does not expect share buybacks while the transaction is under regulatory review. Management reaffirmed a target of 25% cost savings from the combination and said credit quality remained strong. First Hawaiian (NASDAQ:FHB) executives said the bank delivered loan growth, wider net interest margin and continued solid credit quality in the second quarter of 2026, while preparing for its proposed combination with TriCo Bancshares. Chairman, President and CEO Bob Harrison said the company was “very excited” about the TriCo transaction, which is expected to close near the end of the year. He said First Hawaiian is focused on the work required to complete the deal and does not have additional information beyond what was presented during its July 23 investor call. → Could Truth API Become Trump Media’s First Meaningful Revenue Driver? Harrison pointed to relatively stable economic conditions in Hawaii. The statewide employment rate was 2.5% in May, compared with a national unemployment rate of 4.3%. Total visitor arrivals through May rose 2.9% from a year earlier, driven primarily by visitors from the U.S. mainland and Japan, while year-to-date visitor spending reached $9.7 billion, up 7.5% from 2025 levels. Hawaii housing prices also remained firm.

Growth was led by commercial and industrial, or C&I, lending and commercial real estate lending. C&I balances increased $98 million, primarily because of dealer-flooring growth and expansion in the company’s Hawaii corporate portfolio. Completed construction projects resulted in the conversion of $95 million in construction loan balances into commercial real estate loans. Construction loan payoffs and lower residential balances partly offset the broader growth, as residential payoffs exceeded new production. → D-Wave Quantum or a Quantum ETF: Which Is the Better Bet? Harrison said management continues to see a “very robust pipeline” in C&I and commercial real estate, with construction activity representing a meaningful portion of commercial real estate opportunities. The bank also is working with some new customer relationships, he said. Residential lending, however, is expected to remain slow because of the interest-rate environment. Total deposits declined $623 million in the second quarter, largely due to expected public-deposit outflows. Chief Financial Officer Jamie Moses said retail deposits were essentially flat, while commercial deposits fell about $156 million because of seasonal volatility. Public deposits declined $467 million, mainly in operating accounts, and public time deposits decreased by $115 million. The remaining public time-deposit balance was $9 million. Moses said the declines did not reflect lost customer relationships. Municipal partners found other ways to invest certain balances off the bank’s balance sheet, he said, while First Hawaiian expects retail and commercial deposits to increase in the second half because of seasonal patterns. The company’s noninterest-bearing deposit ratio was 32%, and its total cost of deposits declined two basis points from the first quarter. Net interest income increased $3.5 million sequentially to $171 million. Net interest margin rose six basis points to 3.25%, helped by deposit mix and repricing, higher loan and securities yields, and lower cash balances. Management revised its full-year net interest margin outlook to a range of 3.24% to 3.25%, based on market expectations for one rate increase later this year. First Hawaiian expects third-quarter margin of about 3.27%. Moses said the company assumed a rate increase early in the fourth quarter in its outlook. The balance sheet remains asset-sensitive, according to Harrison. Moses said roughly $6 billion of assets would reprice immediately following a rate increase based on SOFR, while approximately $3.5 billion to $4 billion of liabilities would also reprice to some degree. Cash balances declined in the quarter primarily because of public-deposit outflows. Management expects to keep cash around the quarter-end level, approximately $1 billion, through the rest of the year, even as it anticipates further loan growth. Noninterest income totaled $60.3 million, aided by higher bank-owned life insurance income, an excise tax refund and increased swap fees. Moses said the BOLI contribution reflected a component of the portfolio that is sensitive to market movements rather than a death benefit. First Hawaiian maintained its full-year noninterest income outlook of about $220 million. Moses said the company generally views approximately $55 million per quarter as a baseline, though one-time or market-related items can cause quarterly variation. Noninterest expense was $130.4 million, including $4.2 million in costs related to the TriCo transaction. The company expects more transaction costs in the second half as it moves toward closing and integration. Excluding TriCo-related costs, First Hawaiian expects reported expenses of $515 million to $520 million for the full year. Moses said higher second-half expenses will reflect continued hiring to support loan growth, along with project-related salary, professional-services and information-technology costs. Chief Risk Officer Lea Nakamura said credit performance and credit metrics remained healthy. The allowance for credit losses declined both in dollar terms and relative to coverage, primarily because of a material reduction in classified assets. The company reported a return on average tangible assets of 1.28% and a return on average tangible equity of 16.34% for the quarter. Its effective tax rate was 22.9%. Harrison said First Hawaiian did not repurchase shares during the second quarter and is unlikely to conduct buybacks for the remainder of the year while the TriCo deal proceeds through regulatory review, though he said that could change. The company’s common equity tier 1 ratio remained above 13%, according to an analyst’s question during the call. Management reiterated a target of 25% cost savings from the TriCo transaction. Moses said the company remains comfortable with that objective and expects to achieve it through a variety of measures, but did not provide further detail. Harrison said three TriCo executives—Richard Smith, Dan Bailey and Peter G. Wiese—are expected to join First Hawaiian’s senior management team. He said First Hawaiian intends to retain much of TriCo’s management team, describing the California bank as a well-run institution that First Hawaiian plans to support while learning from its operations. First Hawaiian, Inc is the oldest and largest bank in Hawaii, operating as the bank holding company for First Hawaiian Bank. Established in 1858, the company offers a full suite of financial services to individual, business and institutional clients. Its product portfolio includes consumer and commercial lending, deposit accounts, treasury and cash management, foreign exchange and trade finance, as well as wealth management and trust services.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, there can be no assurance that actual results will not prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including (without limitation) the risks and uncertainties associated with the domestic and global economic environment and capital market conditions and other risk factors. For a discussion of some of these risks and important factors that could affect our future results and financial condition, see our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Return on average tangible assets, return on average tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these measurements are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate financial performance and capital adequacy relative to other financial institutions. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Investors should consider our performance and capital adequacy as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance and capital adequacy. Table 14 at the end of this document provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable GAAP measures. (1) Except for the efficiency ratio, amounts are annualized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2026. (2) Return on average tangible assets, return on average tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. We compute our return on average tangible assets as the ratio of net income to average tangible assets, which is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our average total assets. We compute our return on average tangible stockholders’ equity as the ratio of net income to average tangible stockholders’ equity, which is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our average total stockholders’ equity. We compute our tangible book value per share as the ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to outstanding shares. Tangible stockholders’ equity is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our total stockholders’ equity. We compute our tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets as the ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets, each of which we calculate by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) the value of our goodwill. For a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see Table 14, GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation. (1) Non-performing loans and leases are included in the respective average loan and lease balances. Income, if any, on such loans and leases is recognized on a cash basis. (2) Interest income includes taxable-equivalent basis adjustments of $0.9 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. (3) Interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. (4) Net interest margin is net interest income annualized for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, divided by average total earning assets. (1) Non-performing loans and leases are included in the respective average loan and lease balances. Income, if any, on such loans and leases is recognized on a cash basis. (2) Interest income includes taxable-equivalent basis adjustments of $2.0 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. (3) Interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. (4) Net interest margin is net interest income annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, divided by average total earning assets. (1) The change in interest income and expense not solely due to changes in volume or rate has been allocated on a pro-rata basis to the volume and rate columns. (1) The change in interest income and expense not solely due to changes in volume or rate has been allocated on a pro-rata basis to the volume and rate columns.

(1) Annualized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2026. (continued) (1) Other credit quality indicators used for monitoring purposes are primarily FICO scores. The majority of the loans in this population were originated to borrowers with a prime FICO score (680 and above). As of June 30, 2026, the majority of the loans in this population were current. (2) Other credit quality indicators used for monitoring purposes are primarily internal risk ratings. The majority of the loans in this population were graded with a “Pass” rating. As of June 30, 2026, the majority of the loans in this population were current. (3) No FICO scores are primarily related to loans and leases extended to non-residents. Loans and leases of this nature are primarily secured by collateral and/or are closely monitored for performance.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
As a reminder, today's program is being recorded. Now I'd like to introduce your host for today's program, Kevin Haseyama, Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning and Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you, Jonathan. Thank you everyone for joining us as we review our financial results for the second quarter of 2026. With me today are Bob Harrison, Chairman, President, and CEO, Jamie Moses, Chief Financial Officer, and Lea Nakamura, Chief Risk Officer. We have prepared a slide presentation that we will refer to in our remarks today. The presentation is available for downloading and viewing on our website at fhb.com in the investor relations section. During today's call, we will be making forward-looking statements, please refer to slide one for our safe harbor statement. We may also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. The appendix to this presentation contains reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP measurements. Now I'll turn the call over to Bob.
Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I'd like to focus on our strong second quarter results on today's call. First, would like to start with my excitement about our recently announced deal with TriCo Bancshares. I'm looking forward to working with the TriCo team to build a leading Pacific banking franchise. Starting with the local economy, statewide employment rate remained relatively stable at 2.5% in May compared to the national unemployment rate of 4.3%. Through May, total visitor arrivals were up 2.9% compared to last year, primarily due to more visitors from the U.S. mainland and Japan. Year-to-date spending through May was $9.7 billion, up 7.5% compared to 2025 levels. The housing market remained stable. Median single-family home sales price on Oahu in June was $1.2 million, up 10.4% from the prior year.
The median condo sales price on Oahu in June was $528,000, up 3.5% from the prior year. Turning to slide two, we had a strong start to the year. Loans grew, retail and commercial deposits were down slightly as expected. Credit quality remained solid, and we remain well-capitalized. Our profitability measures remain strong, with a return on average tangible assets of 1.28% and a return on average tangible equity of 16.34% for the quarter. The effective tax rate in the second quarter was 22.9%. Turning to slide three, the balance sheet remains solid. We continue to be well-capitalized with ample liquidity. Cash balances were lower in Q2, primarily due to the decline in public deposit balances. Based on our current outlook, we expect to maintain cash balances around this level for the rest of the year.
The balance sheet remains asset sensitive and well-positioned to benefit from a higher for longer rate scenario. During the quarter, we did not purchase any shares. Turning to slide four, total loans grew $137 million in the quarter, or about 3.6% on an annualized basis. Growth was led by C&I and CRE loans, partially offset by payoffs in the construction portfolio and lower residential loans as payoffs exceeded production. The $98 million increase in C&I balances was primarily driven by growth in dealer flooring, as well as our Hawaii corporate portfolio. Completed construction projects led to the conversion of $95 million of construction loan balances to CRE loans. Now I'll turn it over to Jamie.
Thanks, Bob. Turning to slide five, our total cost of deposits fell by two basis points in the second quarter. Total deposits were down $623 million, with most of that decline due to outflows of public deposits. Retail deposits were essentially flat in the second quarter, while commercial deposits were down about $156 million. This decline was consistent with our expectations of seasonal volatility in that segment. Public deposits were down $467 million. The majority of this decline was in the operating accounts, while public time deposits were down by $115 million. That was also expected as we had elevated balances at the end of Q1. The remaining balance of public time deposits is only $9 million. Finally, our non-interest-bearing deposit ratio was 32%. On slide six, net interest income was $171 million, $3.5 million more than the prior quarter.
The NIM in the second quarter was 3.25%, up six basis points from the prior quarter. That was primarily due to deposit mix changes and repricing, higher loan and security yields, and lower cash balances. Turning to slide seven, non-interest income was $60.3 million, primarily due to higher BOLI income, an excise tax refund, and higher swap fees. Non-interest expense in the second quarter was $130.4 million. The quarter included $4.2 million of expenses related to the TriCo transaction. Now, we expect to incur more of those expenses in the back half of the year as we move to close and integration. Now I'll turn that over to Lea.
Thank you, Jamie. Moving to slide eight, the bank continued to maintain its strong credit performance and healthy credit metrics in the second quarter. The reduction in the allowance for credit losses, both on a nominal and coverage basis, was driven primarily by a material decrease in classified assets. With that, I'll turn it back over to Bob.
Thank you, Lea. Going to slide nine, we have updated outlook for our key performance drivers. We continue to expect full year loan growth to be in the 3%-4% range. With the markets now expecting one rate increase later this year, we have revised our full year NIM outlook to be in the 3.24%-3.25% range. We also expect the third quarter NIM to be about 3.27%. Our outlook for non-interest income remains unchanged at about $220 million for the year. Finally, we expect reported expenses to be between $515 million and $520 million, excluding expenses related to the TriCo transaction. In closing, we had another good quarter. The bank continues to perform well, and credit quality is still strong. We're very excited about our partnership with TriCo Bancshares, which is expected to close near the end of the year.
Given that we recently announced the transaction, we don't have any new information at this time besides what we presented on our July 23rd investor call. We are focused on the work needed to be done to complete it, and we'll continue to keep investors informed through our public filings and communications. We are happy to take your questions.
Certainly. Our first question for today comes from the line of Kelly Motta from KBW. Your question please.
Hey. Thank you for the question. Maybe to kick it off on what you're seeing on the deposit side. The decline in deposits, as you noted, was mostly on the government deposits. I know some of them are CDs and some might be more operating accounts. Can you discuss kind of what you saw there? Then otherwise, the core trends of retail and commercial, what those trends were and kind of how you're seeing activity shape up here as we look to the back half of the year.
Kelly, thanks. It's Jamie. The government deposits were elevated, I'll call it, at the end of Q1 in our operating accounts. We kind of expected that decline to happen there. This was not about a loss of relationships or anything. The time deposits related to those were kind of just They left, they rolled off our balance sheet, and I think our partners on the municipal side found better ways to invest that money off of our balance sheet, which is fine with us as well. When we go towards the retail and commercial side of things, we have this seasonality, I'll call it, where we kind of decline deposits in the first half of the year, and then we'll expect to have those deposits increase in the back half of the year just from a seasonality perspective.
For some reason, we see that a lot on the commercial side where balances kind of build through the third and fourth quarter. I think from a deposit perspective, we're happy with where we're at. The teams are doing a great job out there getting involved with their customers and retaining them. None of these declines were losses of customers or anything like that. I think it was just more flows that we saw than anything else.
Got it. That's helpful. Maybe you could speak to pricing competition on both sides of the balance sheet. Hawaii has historically been a structurally just more rational market, wondering if you could offer any color both on loan pricing and deposit pricing as to how those are coming in and what you expect here with the Fed on hold or potentially get a hike here. Thanks.
We are seeing the same type of competition that we've always seen. As you described it as rational, that works for me. I think that there hasn't really been any change in that. With the Fed on hold and maybe looking higher, there's a decent chance that we're kind of at the bottom in terms of deposit cost in totality on our side of things. I think peers on the mainland, you've seen a little bit of a different reaction. I think it's a lot more competitive there, maybe you see some deposit costs rising there. For us, maybe we're going to keep it flat, maybe up a little bit as we go forward. The competition is basically staying the same here, I would say, on the deposit side.
Got it. That's helpful. Maybe last question for me. You had some nice loan growth, reiterated the outlook. As you look ahead, how are pipelines and what areas do you see informing the back half of the year growth? Thanks.
Kelly, this is Bob. We still see a very robust pipeline in both the C&I and CRE. The CRE is again mostly construction, and some of that turns into permanent. For the C&I we're really seeing the strike in the business side. Not only are existing customers growing their balances incrementally, but also working on a couple new customer relationships. That's where we're really seeing it. The residential side continues slow given the rate environment, so we probably won't see much in residential.
Great. Thank you so much. I'll step back.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Anthony Elian from J.P. Morgan. Your question please.
Hi, everyone. On the NIM outlook, Jamie, you lifted the range by a few basis points. I think you said you're now including a hike and 2Q NIM came in better than you guided to. Anything else you point us to for the higher range for the full year?
No, I think that really describes it, Tony. The balance sheet repricing dynamics continue to exist here. As we've described a number of times, roughly $400 million a quarter. We think that spread in Q2 was about 140 basis points on the roll-on/roll-off, and we think somewhere in the neighborhood of 140-150 is, depending on the mix of those cash flows that come off the balance sheet. We think that'll continue to play out from that perspective. I think it really is just a change in outlook on the macro side of things that's driving an update to our NIM.
Okay, on capital, you didn't buy back any shares in 2Q, but your CET1 is still above 13%. How should we think about buybacks as you work through the TriCo deal close? Thank you.
Tony, this is Bob. Good morning. We're probably not going to do buybacks throughout the rest of the year. Of course, that could change. We have the authorization, as we go into the transaction, go through the regulatory process, it's unlikely.
Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Andrew Terrell from Stephens. Your question please.
Hey, good morning.
Morning.
Just one quick one for me. You guys have done a great job on expenses so far this year. If I look at just the midpoint of the full year guide, it kind of implies you step up to like a $130-ish, maybe a little north expense run rate in the back half of the year. I just wanted to run that kind of run rate by you, and if that is the case, what kind of drives the expense pickup in the back half of the year?
Yeah. A couple of things, Andrew. We're going to continue to hire people. We want to make sure we continue to keep our loan pipelines robust. We want to make sure we have folks out there, investments that we're making in people to grow the balance sheet, on the one hand. We also have some projects and things like that that won't finalize until the back half of the year. These expenses capitalize and go, start to show up when they finish up. You'll see it on the salary side, but also on the professional services and IT side of things as well.
Okay, great. Actually, while I've got you, on the margin, can you just remind us-
Yeah
which meeting do you have the hike in the guidance in, and are you going to quantify just the sensitivity of the balance sheet in terms of what a 25 basis point rate hike does to the margin? Just with that square models with the guide.
Yep. I think the right way to think about your last question there is that we have $6 billion or so of assets that will reprice immediately upon an increase based on SOFR, roughly. We have $3.5 billion-$4 billion of liabilities that we would expect that would reprice somewhat immediately around that. From an NII perspective, I think that's probably the right way to think about it for an increase in 25 basis points. Sorry Andrew, I can't remember the first part of your question.
The first part of it, yeah.
I think that covers it.
Okay
Which Fed meeting did you have in the guide?
I think it's in the fourth quarter. I think early in the fourth quarter is when we had it.
Okay, awesome. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jared Shaw from Barclays. Your question please.
Hey there. Good morning. I guess actually just one comment, Bob, at the beginning, you said you saw an increase in tourism from Japan. I guess, with the currency rate here being so low, I guess that's encouraging. What's sort of driving, do you think, the increased traffic from there?
I don't have a precise answer, but just talking to people in the industry, you're just seeing more enthusiasm, I guess, for the economy over there. There's still people that have means to travel, and I guess they've just decided to stop waiting and start traveling. It's incremental off of a lower base, so we're not anywhere near the pre-COVID number. We're up from the bottom that we had hit, and every additional traveler from Japan is welcome because they're just very good travelers and guests, and they really enjoy Hawaii. Yeah, it's difficult. 160+ exchange rate is not easy for them.
Okay, thanks. Then on BOLI, you called out the BOLI increase. Is that a death benefit or is that just a result of sort of your higher deployed capital into BOLI?
Yeah. Thanks, Jared. What that is we still have a component of our BOLI product that is sensitive to actual markets. So we write it up and we write it down depending on how markets are going. So that was a market impact on our BOLI this quarter.
Okay. Then finally, I guess just as you're doing more work on the deal, have you given any thought to how your management structure may change to reflect the bigger presence in the mainland and going forward, I guess, how much time do you think, Bob, you're going to be spending sort of off-island versus before?
People accuse me of not being here enough already. No. We have three members of their team joining our Senior Management Team, Rich Smith, Dan Bailey, and Peter Wiese. As far as my time, I've been on the Federal Advisory Council now for three years. I'll be rolling off. That's four to six trips a year to the West Coast, to the East Coast. Those trips will probably be redirected to California. It'll be pretty much the same as it is now, I would think.
Okay. Thanks a lot.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Tim Mitchell from Raymond James. Your question please.
Hey, good morning, everyone. This is Tim on for David. One question on the deal. How has reception been from the TriCo bankers and clients since you guys announced the deal? What has your messaging been to them? Similar to Jared's question, what is your plan as it relates to letting that team operate maybe more independently than we see in most bank mergers, just kind of given the unique nature of the transaction? Thank you.
Yeah. Thanks for the question. A good amount of this will be in the proxy, but just to maybe cover what we had talked about last week. One of the reasons we like TriCo so much is they have a strong management team, and we're planning on keeping most of them there. We're there to support them. We're here to learn from each other. They have a great bank, and they run it well. That's what we're leveraging.
Okay, great. Then just kind of on the earlier point, that question, reception from conversations with bankers and clients since the deal's announced. Do you have any update to that?
Yeah. We're still doing the outreach we can talk about that, I think, better at a later date. I'll be up there in a few more weeks, couple weeks from now to meet many of their employees I haven't already met, I'm looking forward to doing that.
Awesome. Thanks. Take my questions.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Andrew Liesch from StoneX Group. Your question please.
Hey, everyone. Good morning. Just to put a fine point on the fee income guide. Does this imply a step down towards $54 million or $53 million for the next two quarters?
We always struggle with this one, Andrew, right? Because we have these-
Yeah
We have these things that show up every now and then. Hard to forecast the timing of those things. I think when you look at what we had in the first quarter and what we had here in the second quarter, you come pretty close to about what we've been expecting for the full year guide of $220 million. I wouldn't categorize it as a step down or anything like that. I would just categorize it as it's hard to forecast some of these one-off, one-time things that seem to happen at different points of the year. I think we generally think our number is about $55 million a quarter. There'll be some times when things show up and you kick that up a little bit, and sometimes things don't appear and kick that down a little bit.
Got it. All right. That makes sense. Just on the size of average earning assets here going forward, you started the quarter with less cash on hand or interest-bearing cash as you did the prior quarter. I guess, has that started to rebuild with deposits coming back in? Just trying to get a sense on what average earning assets should shake out for the third quarter.
Yeah, no, I think we're probably going to run the cash at about where you saw it at the end of the second quarter. I think in general, what you're going to see is just a slightly smaller asset size, but that's based on cash, right? We still expect to see some pretty good loan growth in the back half of the year. Probably run the cash balances at about this $1 billion level.
Got it. That covers all my questions. Thanks so much.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matthew Clark from Piper Sandler. Your question please.
Hey, good morning, everyone. Heard your commentary on deposit costs, just wondered what the spot rate was at the end of June.
It was 121.
Okay. Got it. Just maybe since everything else has been asked, I think, just back to the merger, any update on the 25% cost savings target? I'm assuming you're kind of still working through that, but would love to hear where you expect bulk of that to come from.
Yeah, I think we kind of covered that on the deal announcement call. No real update on that. 25% remains the target, we feel comfortable that we'll be able to get there through a variety of ways. We're just very excited to get working with our partners over there at TriCo.
Fair enough. Thanks.
Thank you. This does conclude the question-and-answer session of today's program. I'd like to hand the program back to Kevin Haseyama for any further remarks.
We appreciate your interest in First Hawaiian, and please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. Thanks again for joining us, and have a good weekend.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Good day
