Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the “Parent”) is a Delaware corporation and a bank holding company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. Bank of Hawai‘i Corporation is a trade name of Bank of Hawaii Corporation, and along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide a broad range of financial products and services to businesses, consumers and governments in Hawaii and the West Pacific. The majority of the Company’s operations consist of customary commercial and consumer banking services including, but not limited to, lending, leasing, deposit services, trust and investment activities, brokerage services, and trade financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries. The Parent’s principal operating subsidiary is Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”), doing business as Bank of Hawai‘i.
The consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and accompanying notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Accounting Standard Pending Adoption
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” ASU 2023-02 permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. ASU 2023-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. ASU 2023-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that the AFS debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2023, which were comprised of 393 individual securities, represent a credit loss impairment. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the gross unrealized loss positions were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss. Total gross unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Company does not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
Substantially all of the Company’s HTM debt securities are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss. Therefore, an allowance for credit losses for these securities was not deemed necessary as of March 31, 2023.

These securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing institution or to another member institution. The Company records these non-marketable equity securities as a component of other assets and periodically evaluates these securities for impairment. Management considers these non-marketable equity securities to be long-term investments. Accordingly, when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company uses an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans and leases into pass, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans and leases that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans and leases to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans and leases that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics are typically monitored and risk-rated collectively. These are typically loans and leases to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.
12
The following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:
Pass:
Loans and leases in all classes within the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan or lease agreement. Residential mortgage loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest may be considered Pass if the current loan-to-value ratio is 60% or less. Home equity loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest may be considered Pass if: a) the home equity loan is in a first lien position and the current loan-to-value ratio is 60% or less; or b) the first mortgage is with the Company and the current combined loan-to-value ratio is 60% or less.
Special Mention:
Loans and leases in all classes within the commercial portfolio segment that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or lease. The Special Mention credit quality indicator is not used for the consumer portfolio segment.
Classified:
Loans and leases in the classes within the commercial portfolio segment that are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Classified loans and leases are also those in the classes within the consumer portfolio segment that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest. Residential mortgage and home equity loans may be current as to principal and interest, but may be considered Classified for a period of generally up to six months following a loan modification. Following a period of demonstrated performance in accordance with the modified contractual terms, the loan may be removed from Classified status.
13
For Pass rated credits, risk ratings are certified at a minimum annually. For Special Mention or Classified credits, risk ratings are reviewed for appropriateness on an ongoing basis, monthly, or at a minimum, quarterly. The following presents by credit quality indicator, loan class, and year of origination, the amortized cost basis of the Company’s loans and leases as of March 31, 2023.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
In January 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This guidance was applied on a prospective basis. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer establishes a specific reserve for modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, these modifications are included in their respective cohort and a historical loss rate is applied to the current loan balance to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the Allowance.
Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearances, term extensions, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The following illustrates the most common loan modifications by loan classes offered by the Company that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the requirements of ASU 2022-02:
Loan Classes
Modification Types
Commercial:
Term extension, interest rate reductions, payment delay, or combination thereof. These modifications extend the term of the loan, lower the payment amount, or otherwise delay payments during a defined period for the purpose of providing borrowers additional time to return to compliance with the original loan term.
Residential Mortgage/Home Equity:
Forbearance period greater than six months. These modifications require reduced or no payments during the forbearance period for the purpose of providing borrowers additional time to return to compliance with the original loan term.
Term extension and rate adjustment. These modifications extend the term of the loan and provides for an adjustment to the interest rate, which reduces the monthly payment requirement.
Automobile/Direct Installment:
Term extension greater than three months. These modifications extend the term of the loan, which reduces the monthly payment requirement.

Foreclosure Proceedings
Consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure totaled $3.9 million as of March 31, 2023.
Note 5. Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2023, and $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2022. Substantially all of these loans were originated by the Company and sold to third parties on a non-recourse basis with servicing rights retained. These retained servicing rights are recorded as a servicing asset and are initially recorded at fair value (see Note 13 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities for more information). Changes to the balance of mortgage servicing rights are recorded in mortgage banking income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
The Company’s mortgage servicing activities include collecting principal, interest, and escrow payments from borrowers; making tax and insurance payments on behalf of borrowers; monitoring delinquencies and executing foreclosure proceedings; and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors. Servicing income, including late and ancillary fees, was $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, respectively. Servicing income is recorded in mortgage banking income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company’s residential mortgage investor loan servicing portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed rate loans concentrated in Hawaii.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, the change in the carrying value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights accounted for under the fair value measurement method was as follows:

The key data and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were as follows:
Weighted-Average Constant Prepayment Rate 1
4.35
4.02

A sensitivity analysis of the Company’s fair value of mortgage servicing rights to changes in certain key assumptions as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, is presented in the following table.
Constant Prepayment Rate

This analysis generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the change in the fair value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights usually is not linear. Also, the effect of changing one key assumption without changing other assumptions is not realistic.
Note 6. Affordable Housing Projects Tax Credit Partnerships
The Company makes equity investments in various limited partnerships or limited liability companies that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, to facilitate the sale of affordable housing product offerings, and to assist in achieving goals associated with the Community Reinvestment Act. The primary activities of these entities include the identification, development, and operation of multi-family housing that is leased to qualifying residential tenants. Generally, these types of investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity.
The Company is a limited partner or non-managing member in each LIHTC limited partnership or limited liability company, respectively. Each of these entities is managed by an unrelated third-party general partner or managing member who exercises significant control over the affairs of the entity. The general partner or managing member has all the rights, powers and authority granted or permitted to be granted to a general partner of a limited partnership or managing member of a limited liability company. Duties entrusted to the general partner or managing member include, but are not limited to: investment in operating companies, company expenditures, investment of excess funds, borrowing funds, employment of agents, disposition of fund property, prepayment and refinancing of liabilities, votes and consents, contract authority, disbursement of funds, accounting methods, tax elections, bank accounts, insurance, litigation, cash reserve, and use of working capital reserve funds. Except for limited rights granted to the limited partner(s) or non-managing member(s) relating to the approval of certain transactions, the limited partner(s) and non-managing member(s) may not participate in the operation, management, or control of the entity’s business, transact any business in the entity’s name or have any power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the entity. In addition, the general partner or managing member may only be removed by the limited partner(s) or managing member(s) in the event of a failure to comply with the terms of the agreement or negligence in performing its duties.
The general partner or managing member of each entity has both the power to direct the activities which most significantly affect the performance of each entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entities. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any LIHTC entity. The Company uses the effective yield method to account for its pre-2015 investments in these entities. Beginning January 1, 2015, any new investments that meet the requirements of the proportional amortization method are recognized using the proportional amortization method. The Company’s net affordable housing tax credit investments including the related unfunded commitments were $189.3 million and $174.5 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated statements of condition.

Note 10. Business Segments
The Company’s business segments are defined as Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Treasury and Other. The Company’s internal management accounting process measures the performance of these business segments. This process, which is not necessarily comparable with the process used by any other financial institution, uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income, expense, the provision for credit losses, and capital. This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and other subjective factors. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to GAAP. Previously reported results have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure.
The net interest income of the business segments reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to the Company’s overall asset and liability management activities on a proportionate basis. The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of the Company’s assumptions that are subject to change based on changes in current interest rates and market conditions. Funds transfer pricing also serves to transfer interest rate risk to Treasury. However, the other business segments have some latitude to retain certain interest rate exposures related to customer pricing decisions within guidelines.
The provision for credit losses for the Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking business segments reflects the actual net charge-offs of those business segments. The amount of the consolidated provision for loan and lease losses is based on the methodology that the Company used to estimate our consolidated Allowance. The residual provision for credit losses to arrive at the consolidated provision for credit losses is included in Treasury and Other.
Noninterest income and expense includes allocations from support units to business units. These allocations are based on actual usage where practicably calculated or by management’s estimate of such usage.
The provision for income taxes is allocated to business segments using a 26% effective income tax rate. However, the provision for income taxes for our Commercial Leasing portfolio (included in the Commercial Banking segment) and Auto Leasing portfolio and Pacific Century Life Insurance business unit (both included in the Consumer Banking segment) are assigned their actual effective income tax rates due to the unique relationship that income taxes have with their products. The residual income tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate is included in Treasury and Other.
Consumer Banking
Consumer Banking offers a broad range of financial products and services, including loan, deposit and insurance products; private banking and international client banking services; trust services; investment management; and institutional investment advisory services. Consumer Banking also provides a full service brokerage offering equities, mutual funds, life insurance, and annuity products. Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases, personal lines of credit, installment loans, small business loans and leases, and credit cards. Deposit products include checking, savings, and time deposit accounts. Private banking and personal trust groups assist individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment, credit, and trust services to high-net-worth individuals. The investment management group manages portfolios utilizing a variety of investment products. Also within Consumer Banking, institutional client services offer investment advice to corporations, government entities, and foundations. Products and services from Consumer Banking are delivered to customers through 51 branch locations and 320 ATMs throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, e-Bankoh (online banking service), a customer service center, and a mobile banking service.
Commercial Banking
Commercial Banking offers products including corporate banking, commercial real estate loans, commercial lease financing, auto dealer financing, and deposit products. Commercial lending and deposit products are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. In addition, Commercial Banking offers deposit products to government entities in Hawaii. Commercial real estate mortgages focus on customers that include investors, developers, and builders predominantly domiciled in Hawaii. Commercial Banking also includes international banking and provides merchant services to its customers.
Treasury and Other
Treasury consists of corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management and a foreign currency exchange business. This segment’s assets and liabilities (and related interest income and expense) consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, federal funds sold and purchased, and short and long-term borrowings. The primary sources of
26
noninterest income are from bank-owned life insurance, net gains from the sale of investment securities, and foreign exchange income related to customer-driven currency requests from merchants and island visitors. The net residual effect of the transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury, along with the elimination of intercompany transactions.
Other organizational units (Technology, Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Credit and Risk Management, and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) provide a wide-range of support to the Company’s other income earning segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to facilitate the risk management strategies of a small number of commercial banking customers. The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these agreements by entering into equal and offsetting interest rate swap agreements with highly rated third party financial institutions. The interest rate swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of condition (asset positions are included in other assets and liability positions are included in other liabilities). The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of marketable securities, is posted by the party (i.e., the Company or the financial institution counterparty) with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds. The fair values of certain counterparty interest rate swaps are zero due to the settlement of centrally-cleared variation margin rules. The Company had net asset positions with its financial institution counterparties totaling $65.5 million and $38.8 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Conversion Rate Swap Agreements
As certain sales of Visa Class B restricted shares were completed, the Company entered into a conversion rate swap agreement with the buyer that requires payment to the buyer in the event Visa further reduces the conversion ratio of Class B into Class A unrestricted common shares. In the event of Visa increasing the conversion ratio, the buyer would be required to make payment to the Company. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the conversion rate swap agreement was valued at zero (i.e., no contingent liability recorded) as further reductions to the conversion ratio were deemed neither probable nor reasonably estimable by management.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s credit commitments as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were as follows:
Unfunded Commitments to Extend Credit
3,582,980
3,592,872

129,512
Commercial Letters of Credit

24,030
Total Credit Commitments
3,732,181
3,746,414
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Standby letters of credit generally become payable upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third-party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The contractual amount of these letters of credit represents the maximum potential future payments guaranteed by the Company. The Company has recourse against the customer for any amount it is required to pay to a third-party under a standby letter of credit, and generally holds cash or deposits as collateral on those standby letters of credit for which collateral is deemed necessary. Assets valued at $108.2 million secured certain specifically identified standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the standby and commercial letters of credit had remaining terms ranging from 1 to 14 months.
Contingencies
29
The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings using the most recent information available. On a case-by-case basis, reserves are established for those legal claims for which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on information currently available, management believes that the eventual outcome of any claims against the Company will not be materially in excess of such amounts reserved by the Company. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may result in a loss that materially exceeds the reserves established by the Company.
Note 13. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
Level 1:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.
Level 2:
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that require significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.
In some instances, an instrument may fall into multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such instances, the instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest of the three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of an input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Level 1 investment securities are comprised of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, as quoted prices were available, unadjusted, for identical securities in active markets. Level 2 investment securities were primarily comprised of debt securities issued by the Small Business Administration, states and municipalities, corporations, as well as mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises. Fair values were estimated primarily by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or through the use of pricing models. In cases where there may be limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third party pricing service, fair value may be estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third party broker quotes.
The fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage loans held for sale was determined based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets, and therefore, is classified as a Level 2 measurement.
The Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Company stratifies its mortgage servicing portfolio on the basis of loan type. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are those that the Company believes market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Significant assumptions in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights include estimated loan repayment rates, the discount rate, servicing costs, and the timing of cash flows, among other factors. Mortgage servicing rights are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, as well as significant management judgment and estimation.
Other assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are primarily comprised of investments related to deferred compensation arrangements. Quoted prices for these investments, primarily in mutual funds, are available in active markets. Thus, the Company’s investments related to deferred compensation arrangements are classified as Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), forward commitments, interest rate swap agreements, foreign exchange contracts, and Visa Class B to Class A shares conversion rate swap agreements. The fair values of IRLCs are calculated based on the value of the underlying loan held for sale, which in turn is based on quoted prices for similar loans in the secondary market. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood that the loan in a locked position will ultimately close. This factor, the closing ratio, is derived from the Bank’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment. As such, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 measurements. Forward commitments are classified as Level 2 measurements as they are primarily based on quoted prices from the secondary market based on the settlement date of the contracts, interpolated or extrapolated, if necessary, to estimate a fair value as of the end of the reporting period.
The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and utilize Level 2 observable inputs such as a market yield curve, effective date, maturity date, notional amount, and stated interest rate. The valuation methodology for interest rate swaps with financial institution counterparties (and the related customer interest rate swaps) is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. In addition, the Company includes in its fair value calculation a credit factor adjustment which is based primarily on management judgment. Thus, interest rate swap agreements are classified as a Level 3 measurement. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts are calculated using the Bank’s multi-currency accounting system which utilizes contract specific information such as currency, maturity date, contractual amount, and strike price, along with market data information such as the spot rates of specific currency and yield curves. Foreign exchange contracts are classified as Level 2 measurements because while they are valued using the Bank’s multi-currency accounting system, significant management judgment or estimation is not required. The fair value of the Visa Class B restricted shares to Class A unrestricted common shares conversion rate swap agreements represent the amount owed by the Company to the buyer of the Visa Class B shares as a result of a reduction of the conversion ratio subsequent to the sales date. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the conversion rate swap agreements were valued at zero as reductions to the conversion ratio were neither probable nor reasonably estimable by management. See Note 11 Derivative Financial Instruments for more information.
The Company is exposed to credit risk if borrowers or counterparties fail to perform. The Company seeks to minimize credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and collateral requirements. The Company generally enters into transactions with borrowers of high credit quality and counterparties that carry high quality credit ratings. Credit risk associated with borrowers or counterparties as well as the Company’s non-performance risk is factored into the determination of the fair value of derivative financial instruments.

2Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to interest rate lock commitments are reported as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to interest rate swap agreements are reported as a component of other noninterest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
3The unrealized net losses included in net income related to assets still held as of March 31, 2022, has been updated to exclude the impact of activities unrelated to the computation of unrealized net losses.
For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

1Unobservable inputs for mortgage servicing rights and interest rate lock commitments were weighted by loan amount. Unobservable inputs for interest rate swap agreements were weighted by fair value.

Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Although the constant prepayment rate and the discount rate are not directly interrelated, they generally move in opposite directions of each other.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required periodically to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets. The following table represents the assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

As previously mentioned, all of the Company's mortgage servicing rights are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, as well as significant management judgment and estimation.

The following table reflects the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Company’s residential mortgage loans held for sale as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Changes in the estimated fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale are reported as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and year ended December 31, 2022, the net gains or losses from the change in fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage loans held for sale were not material.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For non-marketable equity securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and Federal Reserve Bank stock, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing government supported institution or to another member institution. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the Company and its operations and is focused on our fiscal 2023 financial results, including comparisons of year-to-year performance, trends, and updates from the Company’s most recent 10-K filing. Discussion and analysis of our 2022 fiscal year, as well as the year-to-year comparison between fiscal 2022 and 2021, are included "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may include statements concerning, among other things, the anticipated economic and business environment in our service area and elsewhere, credit quality and other financial and business matters in future periods, our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives and future operations. We also may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, our senior management may provide forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Our forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, any of which could prove to be inaccurate, and actual results may differ materially from those projected because of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: 1) general economic conditions either nationally, internationally, or locally may be different than expected, and particularly, any event that negatively impacts the tourism industry in Hawaii; 2) the compounding effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced tourism in Hawaii, the duration and scope of government mandates or other limitations of or restrictions on travel, volatility in the international and national economy and credit markets, inflation, worker absenteeism, quarantines or other travel or health-related restrictions, the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effect of government, business and individual actions intended to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; 3) changes in market interest rates that may affect credit markets and our ability to maintain our net interest margin; 4) disruptions and instability in the banking industry; 5) inflationary pressures including Federal Reserve interest rate hikes; 6) the effect of potential recessionary conditions; 7) changes in our credit quality or risk profile that may increase or decrease the required level of our reserve for credit losses; 8) the impact of legislative and regulatory initiatives, particularly the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018; 9) changes to the amount and timing of proposed common stock repurchases; 10) unanticipated changes in the securities markets, public debt markets, and other capital markets in the U.S. and internationally, including, without limitation, the anticipated elimination of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark interest rate; 11) changes in fiscal and monetary policies of the markets in which we operate; 12) the increased cost of maintaining or the Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity and capital, based on the requirements adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and U.S. regulators; 13) changes in accounting standards; 14) changes in tax laws or regulations, including Public Law 115-97, commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the interpretation of such laws and regulations; 15) any failure in or breach of our operational systems, information systems or infrastructure, or those of our merchants, third party vendors and other service providers; 16) any interruption or breach of security of our information systems resulting in failures or disruptions in customer account management, general ledger processing, and loan or deposit systems; 17) natural disasters, public unrest or adverse weather, public health, disease outbreaks, and other conditions impacting us and our customers’ operations or negatively impacting the tourism industry in Hawaii; 18) competitive pressures in the markets for financial services and products; 19) actual or alleged conduct which could harm our reputation; and 20) the impact of litigation and regulatory investigations of the Company, including costs, expenses, settlements, and judgments. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of our actual results. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II of this report. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect later events or circumstances, except as may be required by law.
For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements. You should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all of the risks, uncertainties, or potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause our current expectations or beliefs to change. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise may be required by the federal securities laws.
Investor Announcements
Investors and others should note that the Company intends to announce financial and other information to the Company’s investors using the Company’s investor relations website at https://ir.boh.com, social media channels, press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts, all for purposes of complying with the Company’s disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor these channels, as information is updated and new information is posted.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. The significant accounting policies we follow are presented in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Application of these principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These factors include among other things, whether the policy requires management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. The accounting policies which we believe to be most critical in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2022.

Hawaii Economy
Improvements in visitor arrivals and job growth during the quarter have continued to help in the recovery of Hawaii’s economy, which was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Domestic visitor arrivals have surpassed pre-pandemic levels, but international visitor arrivals have been slower to recover and have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. While visitor arrivals are forecasted to be moderate in the coming year, a healthy construction industry is expected to offset some of the expected slowdown. Hawaii’s unemployment rate was 3.6% in February 2023, while still above the pre-pandemic level, it has fallen substantially since its peak in April and May of 2020.
For the first three months of 2023, the median price of single-family home sales and condominium sales on Oahu changed by -6.8% and 2.0%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. The volume of single-family home sales and condominiums sales on Oahu decreased 37.0% and 38.9%, respectively, for the first three months of 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. Despite these declines in the median price of single-family home sales and sales volume, as of March 31, 2023, inventory of single-family homes and condominiums on Oahu continues to remain low at 2.1 months and 2.4 months, respectively.
38
Earnings Summary
Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $46.8 million, a decrease of $8.0 million or 15% compared to the same period in 2022. Diluted earnings per common share was $1.14 for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.18 or 14% compared to the same period in 2022.
We maintained a strong balance sheet during the first quarter of 2023, with what we believe are appropriate reserves for credit losses and high levels of liquidity and capital.

Net interest income is affected by the size and mix of our balance sheet components as well as the spread between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities. Net interest margin is defined as net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, as a percentage of average earning assets.
Yields on our earning assets increased by 98 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This is primarily due to the higher rate environment in 2023 compared to the prior year.
Yields on our investment securities portfolio, commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans, and home equity loans increased in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to the higher interest rate environment. Yields on our construction loans increased by 197 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due to the higher interest rate environment and the payoff of lower yielding loans compared to new loans being booked.
41
Interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities increased by 120 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The rates paid on securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by 50 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
The average balance of our earning assets increased by 3% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our funds sold increased by $57.4 million or 24% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our investment securities decreased by $0.8 billion or 9% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our loan and lease portfolio increased by $1.4 billion or 12% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our commercial mortgage portfolio increased by $578.1 million or 18% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of continued demand from new and existing customers. The average balance of our residential mortgage portfolio increased by $322.7 million or 7% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to loan originations partially offset by lower payoff activity. The average balance of our home equity portfolio increased by $340.5 million or 18% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 mainly due to growth driven by ongoing promotions of our SmartRefi program.
The average balances of our core interest bearing deposit products for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $28.9 million compared to the same period in 2022. The average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $1.9 billion or 14% compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our interest bearing demand deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased by $0.4 billion or 9% compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our savings deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $468.4 million or 6% compared to the same period in 2022. The average balance of our time deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $818.4 million or 84% compared to the same period in 2022.
The average balances of our securities sold under agreements to repurchase for the three months increased by $275.0 million or 61% compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to $300.0 million in repurchase agreements that originated in late 2022. The average balances of our other debt, which was comprised primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, increased by $489.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to FHLB advances totaling $500.0 million that originated in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Trust and asset management income is comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The management fees are largely based upon the market value of the assets and the fee rate charged to customers. Total trust assets under administration were $10.9 billion as of March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022. Trust and asset management income decreased by $0.6 million or 5% for the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the average market value of assets under management.
42
Mortgage banking income is highly influenced by mortgage interest rates, the housing market, and the amount of our loan sales. Mortgage banking income decreased by $1.7 million or 63% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a net valuation allowance recovery to our servicing rights during the first quarter of 2022.
Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, fees from ATMs, merchant service activity, and other loan fees and service charges. Fees, exchange, and other service charges increased by $0.9 million or 7% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increases in merchant income, debit card income, and credit card commissions.
Other noninterest income decreased by $2.5 million or 33% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in customer derivative program fees.

Total salaries and benefits expense increased by $5.2 million or 9% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in base salaries coupled with an increase in separation expense and retirement and other benefits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation expense.
Net equipment expense increased by $1.2 million or 13% for the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was due to higher software license fees, coupled with an increase in depreciation expense.
Professional fees increased by $0.6 million for the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to outsourcing the Company's SOX and certain tax functions.
FDIC insurance expense increased by $1.7 million or 115% for the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to an increase in the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate.
Total other expense decreased by $0.8 million or 5% for the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower broker charges, mileage program travel expense, and advertising expense.
Table 5 presents our provision for income taxes and effective tax rates.
Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rates
Table 5
Effective Tax Rates
25.38
22.15
The provision for income taxes was $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 25.38%, an increase from 22.15% for the same period in 2022. The higher effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to a loss of tax benefits from exiting the leverage lease business, an increase in valuation allowance and tax deficiency on share-based compensation.
Analysis of Statements of Condition
The carrying value of our investment securities portfolio was $8.1 billion and $8.3 billion as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We continually evaluate our investment securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability, and the level of interest rate risk to which we are exposed to. These evaluations may cause us to change the level of funds we deploy into investment securities, change the composition of our investment securities portfolio, and change the proportion of investments made into the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment categories.
Mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac are the largest concentration in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2023, these mortgage-backed securities were all AAA-rated, with a low probability of a change in their credit ratings in the near future.
44
Gross unrealized gains in our investment securities portfolio were $2.5 million as of March 31, 2023, and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Gross unrealized losses in our investment securities portfolio were $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2023, and $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2022. The gross unrealized losses were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The overall decrease in net unrealized losses was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Total loans and leases as of March 31, 2023, increased by $178.1 million or 1%, from December 31, 2022, primarily due to growth from commercial mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans and home equity lines of credit.
Commercial loans and leases as of March 31, 2023, increased by $101.4 million or 2% from December 31, 2022. Commercial and industrial loans increased by $36.9 million or 3% from December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher corporate demand for funding from new and existing customers. PPP loans decreased by $4.4 million, or 22% from December 31, 2022, primarily due to paydowns. Commercial mortgage loans increased by 100.7 million or 3% from December 31, 2022, primarily due to demand from new and existing customers. Construction loans decreased by $27.9 million or 11% from December 31, 2022, primarily due to slowdown of construction activity in our market. Lease financing decreased by $3.9 million, or 6% from December 31, 2022, primarily due to paydowns.
Consumer loans and leases as of March 31, 2023, increased by $76.7 million or 1% from December 31, 2022. Residential mortgage loans increased by $38.2 million or 1% from December 31, 2022, primarily due to decline in in payoff activity and salable loan volume which more than offset lower production volume that was the result of a from higher interest rate environment. Home equity portfolio increased by $34.1 million or 2% from December 31, 2022, as a result of modest growth in new originations and a slowdown in payoffs. Automobile loans and other consumer loans remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2022.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $725.5 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average maturity was 1.61 years for our repurchase agreements with government entities and 3.45 years for our repurchase agreements with private institutions. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate for outstanding agreements with government entities and private institutions was 1.55% and 2.97%, respectively, with all rates being fixed. Each of our repurchase agreements is accounted for as a collateralized financing arrangement (i.e., a secured borrowing) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities.

Analysis of Business Segments
Our business segments are defined as Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Treasury and Other.
Table 14 summarizes net income from our business segments. Additional information about segment performance is presented in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Segment Net Income
Table 14
2022 1
65,070
43,001
Consolidated Total
Net income increased by $16.7 million or 118% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to an increase in net interest income. This was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense, an increase in the provision for credit losses, and a decrease in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher deposit spreads and higher loan balances, partly offset by lower loan spreads and lower deposit balances. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits expense and higher allocated expenses related to support units. The increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to higher net charge-offs in the installment loan and automobile loan portfolios, and lower recoveries in the home equity portfolio. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage banking income, related to a net valuation recovery to our servicing rights during the first quarter of 2022.
Net income increased by $5.4 million or 19% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increased earnings credits on noninterest bearing, savings, and time deposits, partially offset by reduced spreads on interest bearing demand deposits and lower balances and deferred fees related to the Payroll Protection Program. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in customer derivative program revenue, partially offset by an increase in merchant income. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily due to increased salaries & benefits, merchant transaction & processing fees, and broker charges related to the customer derivative program now reflected in the segment instead of Treasury.
Net income decreased by $30.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to lower net interest income and a lower negative provision for credit losses. This was partially offset by a lower provision for income taxes. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher funding costs, partially offset by an increase in interest income from higher asset yields. The decrease in the negative Provision was primarily due to management’s best estimate of losses over the life of loans and leases in our portfolio in accordance with the CECL approach, given the economic outlook. The provision for income taxes in this business segment represents the residual amount to arrive at the total tax expense for the Company.
Corporate Risk Profile
Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2023, our overall credit risk profile remains strong and reflects the continued recovery of Hawaii’s economy.
We actively manage exposures with deteriorating asset quality to reduce levels of potential loss exposure and closely monitor our reserves and capital to address both anticipated and unforeseen issues. Risk management activities include detailed analysis of portfolio segments and stress tests of certain segments to ensure that reserve and capital levels are appropriate. We perform frequent loan and lease-level risk monitoring and risk rating reviews, which provide opportunities for early interventions to allow for credit exits or restructuring, loan and lease sales, and voluntary workouts and liquidations.

NPAs consist of non-accrual loans and leases, and foreclosed real estate. Changes in the level of non-accrual loans and leases typically represent additions for loans and leases that reach a specified past due status, offset by reductions for loans and leases that are charged-off, paid down, sold, transferred to foreclosed real estate, or are no longer classified as non-accrual because they have returned to accrual status.
Residential mortgage non-accrual loans were $4.2 million as of March 31, 2023, remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, our residential mortgage non-accrual loans were comprised of 16 loans with a weighted average current loan-to-value ratio of 59%.
Foreclosed real estate represents property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on loans. Foreclosed real estate is recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market conditions and applicable regulations. Foreclosed real estate was $1.0 million as of March 31, 2023.
Loans and Leases Past Due 90 Days or More and Still Accruing Interest
Loans and leases in this category are 90 days or more past due, as to principal or interest, and are still accruing interest because they are well secured and in the process of collection. Loans and leases past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $7.5 million as of March 31, 2023, a $2.1 million or 40% increase from December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily in residential mortgage.

As of March 31, 2023, the Allowance was $143.6 million or 1.04% of total loans and leases outstanding (1.04% excluding PPP loans), compared with an Allowance of $144.4 million or 1.06% of total loans and leases outstanding (1.08% excluding PPP loans) as of December 31, 2022. While the total Allowance and the ratio of the Allowance to loans and leases outstanding has declined, the Allowance as of March 31, 2023 continues to include a qualitative overlay to account for potential losses associated with the current economic uncertainty and the risk of a U.S. recession.
Net charge-offs on loans and leases were $2.7 million or 0.08% of total average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million or 0.05% of total average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net charge-offs on loans and leases was primarily due to the higher gross charge-offs in automobile and other loans, and lower recoveries in home equity.
The Unfunded Reserve was $7.0 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $0.2 million or 3% from December 31, 2022, primarily driven by lower utilization of and construction loan commitments, partially offset by higher utilization of commercial and industrial commitments. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition.
For the first three months of 2023, the provision for credit losses was $2.0 million compared to a net benefit of $5.5 million during the same period in 2022. The increase in the provision was primarily due to smaller reduction in the allowance for credit losses in addition to higher total net charge-offs.
Market Risk
Market risk is the potential of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and prices. We are exposed to market risk as a consequence of the normal course of conducting our business activities. Our market risk management process involves measuring, monitoring, controlling, and mitigating risks that can significantly impact our statements of income and condition. In this management process, market risks are balanced with expected returns in an effort to enhance earnings performance, while limiting volatility.
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The objective of our interest rate risk management process is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity. The potential cash flows, sales, or replacement value of many of our assets and liabilities, especially those that earn or pay interest, are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from our core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. Our investment securities portfolio is also subject to significant interest rate risk.
Many factors affect our exposure to changes in interest rates such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences, historical pricing relationships, and repricing characteristics of financial instruments. Our earnings are affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”). The monetary policies of the FRB can influence the overall growth of loans, investment securities, and deposits and the level of interest rates earned on assets and paid for liabilities.
53
In managing interest rate risk, we, through the Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), measure short and long-term sensitivities to changes in interest rates. The ALCO, which is comprised of members of executive management, utilizes several techniques to manage interest rate risk, which include:
Our use of derivative financial instruments, as detailed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, has generally been limited. This is due to natural on-balance sheet hedges arising out of offsetting interest rate exposures from loans and investment securities with deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. In particular, the investment securities portfolio is utilized to manage the interest rate exposure and sensitivity to within the guidelines and limits established by the ALCO. We utilize natural and offsetting economic hedges in an effort to reduce the need to employ off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk exposures. Expected movements in interest rates are also considered in managing interest rate risk. Thus, as interest rates change, we may use different techniques to manage interest rate risk.
A key element in our ongoing process to measure and monitor interest rate risk is the utilization of an asset/liability simulation model that attempts to capture the dynamic nature of the statement of condition. The model is used to estimate and measure the statement of condition sensitivity to changes in interest rates. These estimates are based on assumptions about the behavior of loan and deposit pricing, prepayment rates on mortgage-based assets, and principal amortization and maturities on other financial instruments. The model’s analytics include the effects of standard prepayment options on mortgages and customer withdrawal options for deposits. While such assumptions are inherently uncertain, we believe that our assumptions are reasonable.
We utilize net interest income simulations to analyze income sensitivities to changes in interest rates. Table 17 presents, as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, an estimate of the change in net interest income that would result from a gradual and immediate change in interest rates, moving in a parallel shock over the entire yield curve, relative to the measured base case scenario. The base case scenario assumes the statement of condition and interest rates are generally unchanged. Based on our net interest income simulation as of March 31, 2023, net interest income is expected to increase as interest rates rise. In addition, rising interest rates would drive higher rates on loans and investment securities, as well as induce a slower pace of premium amortization on certain securities within our investment portfolio. However, lower interest rates would likely cause a decline in net interest income as lower rates would lead to lower yields on loans and investment securities, as well as drive higher premium amortization on existing investment securities. Based on our net interest income simulation as of March 31, 2023, net interest income sensitivity to changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2023, was more sensitive in comparison to the sensitivity profile as of December 31, 2022.

To analyze the impact of changes in interest rates in a more realistic manner, non-parallel interest rate scenarios are also simulated. Given the current shape of the yield curve, these non-parallel interest rate scenarios indicate that net interest income may increase from the base case scenario should the yield curve flatten and may decrease should the yield curve become more inverted for a period of time. However, if the yield curve were to steepen, net interest income may increase.
Other Market Risks
In addition to interest rate risk, we are exposed to other forms of market risk in our normal business transactions. Foreign currency and foreign exchange contracts expose us to a small degree of foreign currency risk. These transactions are primarily executed on behalf of customers. Our trust and asset management income are at risk to fluctuations in the market values of underlying assets, particularly debt and equity securities. Also, our share-based compensation expense is dependent on the fair value of our stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock is impacted by the market price of the Parent’s common stock on the date of grant and is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions, and other factors.
Liquidity Risk Management
The objective of our liquidity risk management process is to manage cash flow and liquidity in an effort to provide continuous access to sufficient, reasonably priced funds. Funding requirements are impacted by loan originations and refinancings, deposit balance changes, liability issuances and settlements, and off-balance sheet funding commitments. We consider and comply with various regulatory guidelines regarding required liquidity levels and periodically monitor our liquidity position in light of the changing economic environment and customer activity. Based on periodic liquidity assessments, we may alter our asset, liability, and off-balance sheet positions. The ALCO monitors sources and uses of funds and modifies asset and liability positions as liquidity requirements change. This process, combined with our ability to raise funds in money and capital markets and through private placements, provides flexibility in managing the exposure to liquidity risk.
In an effort to satisfy our liquidity needs, we actively manage our assets and liabilities. We have access to immediate liquid resources in the form of cash which is primarily on deposit with the FRB. Potential sources of liquidity also include investment securities in our available-for-sale securities portfolio, our ability to sell loans in the secondary market, and to secure borrowings from the FRB and FHLB. Our held-to-maturity securities, while not intended for sale, may also be utilized in repurchase agreements to obtain funding. Our core deposits have historically provided us with a long-term source of stable and relatively low cost source of funding. Additional funding is available through the issuance of long-term debt or equity.
Maturities and payments on outstanding loans and investment securities also provide a steady flow of funds. Liquidity is further enhanced by our ability to pledge loans to access secured borrowings from the FHLB and FRB. As of March 31, 2023, we had additional borrowing capacity of $2.3 billion from the FHLB and $4.5 billion from the FRB based on the amount of collateral pledged.
We continued our focus on maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the first three months of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $612.0 million, the carrying value of our available-for-sale investment securities was $2.8 billion, and total deposits were $20.5 billion. As of March 31, 2023, our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities with an average base duration of approximately 3.82 years.
Capital Management
We actively manage capital, commensurate with our risk profile, to enhance shareholder value. We also seek to maintain capital levels for the Company and the Bank at amounts in excess of the regulatory “well-capitalized” thresholds. Periodically, we may respond to market conditions by implementing changes to our overall balance sheet positioning to manage our capital position.

The Company and the Bank are each subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, would likely have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by regulation intended to ensure capital adequacy. Capital ratios are calculated using the regulatory capital rule that allows a five-year transition period related to the adoption of CECL. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized.” There have been no conditions or events since March 31, 2023, that management believes have changed either the Company’s or the Bank’s capital classifications. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in Table 18 below.
Table 18 presents our regulatory capital and ratios as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, shareholders’ equity was $1.4 billion, an increase of $37.4 million or 3% from December 31, 2022. For the first three months of 2023, net income of $46.8 million, other comprehensive income of $29.4 million, share-based compensation of $3.4 million, and common stock issuances of $1.6 million were offset by cash dividends paid of $27.9 million on common shares, common stock repurchased of $13.8 million, and cash dividends declared of $2.0 million on preferred shares. In the first three months of 2023, we repurchased 150,000 shares under our share repurchase program. These shares were repurchased at an average cost per share of $65.69 and a total cost of $9.9 million. From the beginning of our share repurchase program in July 2001 through March 31, 2023, we repurchased a total of 58.2 million shares of our common stock and returned a total of $2.4 billion to our shareholders at an average cost of $41.24 per share.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $100.0 million for the share repurchase program. Remaining buyback authority under our share repurchase program was $126.0 million as of March 31, 2023. The actual amount and timing of future share repurchases, if any, will depend on market and economic conditions, regulatory rules, applicable SEC rules, and various other factors.
In April 2023, the Parent’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend payment of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, of $10.94 per share, equivalent to $0.2735 per depositary share. The dividend will be payable on May 1, 2023 to shareholders of record of the preferred stock at the close of business on April 14, 2023.

In April 2023, the Parent’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share on the Parent’s outstanding common shares. The dividend will be payable on June 15, 2023, to shareholders of record of the common stock at the close of business on May 31, 2023.
Operational Risk
Operational risk represents the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, errors relating to transaction processing and technology, failure to adhere to compliance requirements, and the risk of cyber attacks. We are also exposed to operational risk through our outsourcing arrangements, and the effect that changes in circumstances or capabilities of our outsourcing vendors can have on our ability to continue to perform operational functions necessary to our business. The risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards, adverse business decisions or their implementation, and customer attrition due to potential negative publicity. Operational risk is inherent in all business activities, and management of this risk is important to the achievement of Company goals and objectives.
Our Operational Risk Committee (the “ORC”) provides oversight and assesses the most significant operational risks facing the Company. We have developed a framework that provides for a centralized operating risk management function through the ORC, supplemented by business unit responsibility for managing operational risks specific to their business units. Our internal audit department also validates the system of internal controls through ongoing risk-based audit procedures and reports on the effectiveness of internal controls to executive management and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.
We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to improve the oversight of operational risk. While our internal controls have been designed to minimize operational risks, there is no assurance that business disruption or operational losses will not occur. On an ongoing basis, management reassesses operational risks, implements appropriate process changes, and invests in enhancements to our systems of internal controls.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Credit Commitments, and Contractual Obligations
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We hold interests in several unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These unconsolidated VIEs are primarily low-income housing partnerships and solar energy partnerships. Variable interests are defined as contractual ownership or other interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in an entity’s net asset value. The primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE. We have determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. As a result, we do not consolidate these VIEs.
Credit Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Our credit commitments and contractual obligations have not changed materially since previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
See “Market Risk” of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2023. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from “Contingencies” in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) set forth in Part I of this report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as described below.
Risks Related to Recent Events Impacting the Financial Services Industry
Recent events impacting the financial services industry, including the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, have resulted in decreased confidence in banks among consumer and commercial depositors, other counterparties and investors, as well as significant disruption, volatility and reduced valuations of equity and other securities of banks in the capital markets. These events occurred during a period of rapidly rising interest rates which, among other things, has resulted in unrealized losses in longer duration securities and loans held by banks, more competition for bank deposits and may increase the risk of a potential recession. These recent events have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility of the Company’s common stock.
These recent events may also result in potentially adverse changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding companies or result in the impositions of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital requirements, which could have a material impact on our business. Inability to access short-term funding, loss of client deposits or changes in our credit ratings could increase the cost of funding, limit access to capital markets or negatively impact our overall liquidity or capitalization. We may be impacted by concerns regarding the soundness or creditworthiness of other financial institutions, which can cause substantial and cascading disruption within the financial markets and increased expenses. The cost of resolving the recent bank failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its premiums above the recently increased levels or to issue additional special assessments.
