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, Hawai‘i. Bank of Hawai‘i Corporation is a trade name of Bank of Hawaii Corporation, and along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), provides a broad range of financial products and services to businesses, consumers and governments in Hawai‘i 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 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, 2023. Significant changes to accounting policies from those disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented below.
Preferred Stock Issuance
On June 21, 2024, the Company issued and sold 6,600,000 depositary shares (the “depositary shares”), each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 8.000% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and expenses, totaled $160.6 million. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are not cumulative and will be paid when declared by the Parent’s Board of Directors to the extent that we have legally available funds to pay dividends. If declared, dividends will accrue and be payable quarterly, in arrears, on the liquidation preference amount, on a non-cumulative basis, at a rate of 8.000% per annum. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not have voting rights, except with respect to certain changes in the terms of the preferred stock, certain dividend non-payments and as otherwise required by applicable law. The Company may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at its option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after August 1, 2029 or (ii) in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a regulatory capital treatment event, in either case at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends.

The losses on sales of investment securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were due to fees paid to the counterparties of the Company’s prior Visa Class B share sale transactions, which are expensed as incurred. The losses on sales of investment securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 included a $4.6 million realized loss from sales of various corporate and municipal bonds, a strategic decision made by the Company to reduce the size of its AFS portfolio.
The following table summarizes the Company’s AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses was not deemed necessary, aggregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position:

The Company does not believe the AFS debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2024, which were comprised of 359 individual securities, represent a credit loss impairment. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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. Mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises 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. Debt securities issued by corporations are of high credit quality and the issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments. 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 September 30, 2024 and December 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 in the unaudited consolidated statements of condition 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.
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 generally 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 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 the classes within the commercial portfolio segment that have potential weaknesses that warrant 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 have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses and are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or applicable collateral, 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 (excluding residential mortgage and home equity loans which meet the criteria for being considered Pass).
13
For Pass rated credits in the commercial portfolio, most risk ratings are certified at a minimum annually. For Special Mention or Classified credits in the commercial portfolio, 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 September 30, 2024.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
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, other-than-insignificant payment delay, or combination thereof. These modifications extend the term of the loan, lower the payment amount, or results in an other-than-insignificant payment delay 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 $6.9 million as of September 30, 2024.
Note 5. Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $2.5 billion as of September 30, 2024 and $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2023. 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 in the Company’s unaudited 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 for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $4.1 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Servicing income is recorded in Mortgage Banking in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income. The Company’s residential mortgage investor loan servicing portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed rate loans concentrated in Hawai‘i.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were as follows:
Weighted-Average Constant Prepayment Rate 1
4.20
4.06
Weighted-Average Life (in years)
9.20
9.44
Weighted-Average Note Rate
3.72
3.67
Weighted-Average Discount Rate 2
9.28
9.48
1 Represents annualized loan prepayment rate assumption.
2 Derived from multiple interest rate scenarios that incorporate a spread to a market yield curve and market volatilities.
A sensitivity analysis of the Company’s fair value of mortgage servicing rights to changes in certain key assumptions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, is presented in the following table.
Constant Prepayment Rate
Decrease in fair value from 25 basis points (“bps”) adverse change

(615
(645
Discount Rate
Decrease in fair value from 25 bps adverse change
(291
(303
(576
(600
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.
24
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 $221.3 million and $208.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in Other Assets in the unaudited consolidated statements of condition.
Unfunded Commitments
As of September 30, 2024, the expected payments for unfunded affordable housing commitments were as follows:

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 CECL 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 the Leasing business unit (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 and lease financing, deposit, and brokerage and insurance products; private banking and international client banking services; trust services; investment management; and
institutional investment advisory services. Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases, overdraft lines of credit, installment loans, small business loans and leases, and credit cards. Deposit products include checking, savings, and time deposit accounts. Brokerage and insurance offerings include equities, mutual funds, life insurance, and annuity products. Private banking (including international client banking) and 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 and the institutional client services group offers investment advice to corporations, government entities, and foundations. Products and services from Consumer Banking are delivered to customers through 50 branch locations and 317 ATMs throughout Hawai‘i and the Pacific Islands, a customer service center, e-Bankoh (online banking service), and a mobile banking service.
Commercial Banking
Commercial Banking offers products including commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial lease financing, auto dealer financing, merchant services, deposit products and cash management services. Commercial lending and lease financing, deposit products, and cash management and merchant services are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawai‘i and the Pacific Islands. Commercial Banking also offers lease financing and deposit products to government entities in Hawai‘i. Commercial real estate mortgages focus on investors, developers, and builders predominantly domiciled in Hawai‘i. Commercial Banking includes international banking which services Japanese, Korean, and Chinese commercial businesses owned by a foreign individual or entity, a U.S. corporate subsidiary of a foreign owner, or businesses where management prefers to speak a foreign language.
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 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 and Other, 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.

Note 11. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to market risks, including interest rate risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, while other derivatives serve as economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
The notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.
2 These amounts were included in the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios of loans used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $3.0 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
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 unaudited 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 cash 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 Company had net asset positions with its financial institution counterparties totaling $76.3 million and $114.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the conversion rate swap agreement was valued at zero (i.e., no contingent liability recorded) as further reductions to the conversion ratio were deemed not reasonably estimable by management.
Makewhole Agreements
In May 2024, the Company entered into makewhole agreements with certain buyers of its Visa Class B restricted shares that reduces the payments that would be required pursuant to the conversion rate swap agreement described above, but would require payment to the buyer in the event Visa requires additional legal reserves to settle ongoing litigation. As of September 30, 2024, the makewhole agreements were valued at zero (i.e., no contingent liability recorded) as the likelihood of the Company being required to make a payment to the buyer is not reasonably estimable by management.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Fair Value Hedges
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company entered into pay-fixed and receive-floating interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of its AFS investment securities and fixed rate loans. These interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges using the portfolio layer method. The Company receives variable-rate interest payments in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the lives of the contracts without exchanging the notional amounts. The fair value hedges are recorded as components of other assets and other liabilities in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. The gain or loss on these derivatives, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s credit commitments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were as follows:
Unfunded Commitments to Extend Credit
3,175,339
3,433,061
Standby Letters of Credit
94,841
88,512
Commercial Letters of Credit
11,248
16,551
Total Credit Commitments
3,281,428
3,538,124
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 $72.5 million secured certain specifically identified standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the standby and commercial letters of credit had remaining terms ranging from 1 to 19 months.
Contingencies
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 these 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.
37
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 and makewhole 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 ("SOFR"). Thus, interest rate swap agreements are classified as a Level 2 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the conversion rate swap agreements were valued at zero as reductions to the conversion ratio were not reasonably estimable by management. See Note 11 Derivative Financial Instruments for more information. The fair value of the makewhole agreements represent the amount owed by the Company to the buyer of the Visa Class B shares in the event Visa requires additional legal reserves to settle ongoing litigation. As of September 30, 2024, the makewhole agreements were valued at zero as the likelihood of the Company being required to make a payment to the buyer is not reasonably estimable by management.
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.

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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 unaudited consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the net gains or losses from the change in fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage loans held for sale were immaterial.
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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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.

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 Hawai‘i; (2) the compounding effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced tourism in Hawai‘i, 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) changes in our credit quality or risk profile that may increase or decrease the required level of our reserve for credit losses; (5) 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; (6) changes to the amount and timing of proposed common stock repurchases; (7) unanticipated changes in the securities markets, public debt markets, and other capital markets in the U.S. and internationally, (8) changes in fiscal and monetary policies of the markets in which we operate; (9) 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; (10) changes in accounting standards; (11) 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; (12) 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; (13) 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; (14) 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 Hawai‘i; (15) competitive pressures in the markets for financial services and products; (16) actual or alleged conduct which could harm our reputation; and (17) the impact of litigation and regulatory investigations of the Company, including costs, expenses, settlements, and judgments. 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.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of our actual results. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our expectations and projections include but are not limited to those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent SEC filings. 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 Unaudited 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, 2023. 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 critical accounting policies by management. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Factors include, among other things, whether the policy requires management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and whether it is likely that materially different results would be reported under different conditions or different assumptions. The accounting policies we believe are 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, 2023. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
Overview
We are a regional financial services company serving businesses, consumers, and governments in Hawai‘i, Guam, and other Pacific Islands. Our principal operating subsidiary, the Bank, was founded in 1897.
Our business strategy is to use our unique market knowledge, prudent management discipline and brand strength to deliver exceptional value to our stakeholders. Our business plan is balanced between growth and risk management while maintaining flexibility to adjust to economic changes. We will continue to focus on providing customers with best-in-class service and an innovative mix of products and services. We will also remain focused on delivering strong financial results while maintaining prudent risk and capital management strategies and affirming our commitment to support our local communities.
Hawai’i Economy
Global economic conditions remain broadly favorable for the local economy. The Maui economy continues its gradual post-wildfire recovery while the visitor industry for the rest of the Hawai’i is expected to operate at a high level. Overall construction will continue at a high level supported by Maui rebuilding, other housing developments, and federal military projects. Hawai‘i’s unemployment rate was 2.9% in September 2024, which was below the U.S. unemployment rate of 4.1%.
For the first nine months of 2024, the median price of single-family home and condominium sales on Oahu increased by 4.8% and 1.0%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. The volume of single-family homes sales on Oahu increased 5.8% and condominium sales decreased 5.6% compared to the same period in 2023. Inventory of single-family homes and condominiums on Oahu was 3.4 months and 5.2 months, respectively.
Earnings Summary
Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $40.4 million, a decrease of $7.5 million or 16% compared to the same period in 2023. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.93 for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.24 or 21% compared to the same period in 2023.
We maintained a strong balance sheet during the third quarter of 2024, with what we believe are appropriate reserves for credit losses and strong 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.
47
The average balance of our earning assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $952.3 million or 4% and $821.0 million or 4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. These decreases were due to actions taken to reduce our wholesale and non-core funding in the third quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2024. As compared to the same periods last year, yields on our investment securities portfolio increased by 7 and 6 basis points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to income earned from interest rate swaps that hedge a portion of our AFS securities portfolio. Yields on our loan and lease portfolio increased by 48 and 55 basis points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, due to yield increases on our floating rate loan portfolio, higher rates on loans originated during the period, and income earned from interest rate swaps that hedge a portion of our residential mortgage portfolio.
The average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $696.5 million or 4% and $369.1 million or 2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 due to the termination of $1.2 billion in FHLB advances during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and the termination of $625.0 million in repurchase agreements ($575.0 million in 2023 and $50.0 million in May 2024). As compared to the same periods last year, the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities increased by 41 and 72 basis points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily driven by customer migration to higher rate deposit products. The cost of our interest-bearing deposits increased by 57 basis points in the third quarter of 2024 and by 92 basis points in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Fees, exchange, and other service charges increased by $1.1 million or 8% in the third quarter of 2024 and by $1.1 million or 3% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, primarily due to an increase in fee income earned, coupled with an increase in merchant income as a result of higher card related transaction volumes. 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.
Trust and asset management income increased by $1.4 million or 13% in the third quarter of 2024 and by $2.9 million or 9% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to an increase in the asset values of our customers' accounts. Trust and asset management income is comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. These fees are largely based upon the market value of the assets and the fee rate charged to customers. Total trust assets under management were $13.0 billion and $10.6 billion as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Bank-owned life insurance increased by $0.8 million or 29% in the third quarter of 2024 and by $1.8 million or 21% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods last year. The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to an increase in the yield on the underlying assets coupled with an increase in death benefits. The increase for the first nine months of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the yield on the underlying assets, partially offset by lower death benefits.
Investment securities losses decreased by $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 and for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to $4.6 million net losses on sales of investment securities and higher fees paid to counterparties for Visa Class B share conversion rate expense during the third quarter of 2023.
Other noninterest income decreased by $14.8 million or 74% in the third quarter of 2024 and by $17.4 million or 55% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods last year primarily due to a $14.7 million gain on the extinguishments of repurchase agreements during 2023 coupled with a decrease in customer derivative fees.

Total salaries and benefits expense decreased by $6.2 million or 3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in separation expense coupled with a decrease in payroll taxes and retirement and other benefits, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation.
Net occupancy expense increased by $0.5 million or 5% in the third quarter of 2024 and by $1.6 million or 5% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 due to an increase in vacancies of subleased properties and an increase in common area maintenance charges assessed by our lessors.
Professional fees increased by $0.9 million or 23% in the third quarter of 2024 and by $0.3 million or 2% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to an increase in consulting fees and various outsourced support functions.
FDIC insurance expense increased by $4.4 million or 45% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in an industry-wide non-recurring FDIC special assessment.
Total other expense decreased by $1.6 million or 4% for the first nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to lower broker's charges as a result of fewer customer swaps during the current period.

The provision for income taxes was $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $3.5 million compared to the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 23.33%, a decrease from 24.76% for the same period in 2023. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in tax-exempt income.
The provision for income taxes was $35.5 million in the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of $11.2 million compared to the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 was 24.25%, a decrease from 24.91% for the same period in 2023. The lower effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was due to an increase in tax-exempt income and an increase in benefits from low-income housing investments.
Analysis of Unaudited Statements of Condition
The carrying value of our investment securities portfolio was $7.3 billion and $7.4 billion as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to cash flows from the portfolio not being reinvested into securities in the first and second quarters of 2024.
We continually evaluate our investment securities portfolio in conjunction with our 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 AFS and HTM investment categories.
Mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac are the largest concentration in our portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, these mortgage-backed securities were all AAA-rated, with a low probability of a change in their credit ratings in the near future.
Net unrealized losses in our investment securities portfolio were $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2024 and $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2023. See Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Total loans and leases as of September 30, 2024 decreased by $46.4 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to reductions in our consumer loans, partially offset by growth in our commercial loan portfolio.
Commercial loans and leases as of September 30, 2024 increased by $152.6 million or 3% from December 31, 2023 primarily due to commercial mortgage loans, which increased by $119.6 million or 3% due to increased demand.
Consumer loans and leases as of September 30, 2024 decreased by $199.0 million or 2% from December 31, 2023. Residential mortgage loans decreased by $61.5 million or 1% from December 31, 2023 primarily due to fewer loan originations in the higher rate environment. The home equity portfolio decreased by $69.0 million or 3% from December 31, 2023 as a result of paydowns and fewer loan originations. Automobile loans decreased by $50.9 million or 6% from December 31, 2023 due to fewer loan originations as a result of increased competition.

Low-income housing and other equity investments increased by $12.4 million due to increased funding of existing projects. Deferred tax assets and tax receivable decreased by $19.7 million due to temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax basis of unrealized losses on investment securities and decrease in federal income tax receivable. Derivative financial instruments decreased by $20.7 million due to decreasing fair value of our interest rate swaps impacted by prevailing interest rates, partially offset by the termination of certain fair value hedges. Prepaid expenses increased by $4.1 million due to an increase in prepaid insurance and other prepaid expenses. Deferred compensation plan assets increased by $6.5 million primarily due to contributions from plan participants and net appreciation in plan assets during the period.

Total Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $100.5 million and $150.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In May 2024, a private institution exercised their right to call on one repurchase agreement with a balance of $50.0 million, resulting in its termination. As of September 30, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2023 (1.55% for government entities and 3.80% for private institutions). The weighted-average interest rates as of September 30, 2024 for our outstanding agreements with government entities and private institutions were 1.55% and 3.88%, respectively, with all rates being fixed. The weighted-average maturities as of September 30, 2024 for our repurchase agreements with government entities and private institutions were 0.11 year and 4.13 years, respectively. Each of our repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., a secured borrowing) and not as sales and subsequent repurchases of securities.

Consolidated Total
Net income decreased by $1.6 million or 5% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to increases in noninterest expense and the provision for credit losses, as well as a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher allocated administrative and support unit costs. The increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to higher net charge-offs in the installment loan and auto loan portfolios. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to lower deposit spreads on higher deposit balances, partially offset by higher loan spreads. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher trust and asset management fees.
Net income decreased by $2.6 million or 3% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to increases in noninterest expense and the provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher allocated FDIC insurance costs and higher allocated administrative and support unit costs. The increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to higher net charge-offs in the installment loan and residential loan portfolios. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher trust and asset management fees.
Net income decreased by $2.0 million or 6.7% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to decreases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense and a reduction in the tax provision. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to reductions in deposit balances and an increase in the provision for credit losses. The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by an increase in loan balances. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in customer derivative program revenue, partially offset by an increase in other loan fees. The decrease in noninterest expense is primarily due to reduced allocated administrative and support unit expenses, lower salaries & benefits, and lower broker charges related to the customer derivative program, partially offset by an increase in operational losses.
Net income decreased by $7.2 million or 7.6% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to decreases in interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense, and a reduction in the tax provision. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to lower deposits spreads and an increase in the provision for credit losses. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily due to reduced customer derivative program revenue. The decrease in noninterest expense is primarily due to reduced allocated administrative and support unit expenses, salaries & benefits, and broker charges related to the customer derivative program.
54
Net income decreased by $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower noninterest income. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to gains on extinguishments of repurchase agreements in the third quarter of 2023. The provision for income taxes in this business segment represents the residual amount to arrive at the total tax expense for the Company.
Net income decreased by $20.2 million or 37% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by lower noninterest expense. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher funding costs offset by an increase in interest income from higher asset yields. The lower noninterest income was primarily due to gains on extinguishments of repurchase agreements in 2023. The lower noninterest expense was primarily due to lower salaries and benefits from overall lower headcount. 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
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 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, written down, paid down, sold, transferred to foreclosed real estate, or are no longer classified as non-accrual because they have returned to accrual status.
56
Non-accrual loans as of September 30, 2024 were $17.1 million, an increase of $7.5 million or 77% from December 31, 2023 primarily due to increases in commercial and industrial and residential mortgage non-accrual loans. Commercial and industrial non-accrual loans increased $6.2 million from December 31, 2023, which primarily relates to one borrower. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $1.4 million charge-off in connection with our commercial and industrial non-accrual loans. Residential mortgage non-accrual loans increased $1.3 million or 45% from December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, our residential mortgage non-accrual loans were comprised of 17 loans with a weighted average current loan-to-value ratio of 76.6%.
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 $2.7 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to $2.1 million as of December 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 September 30, 2024, a $0.9 million or 14% increase from December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily in residential mortgage and home equity.

Allowance for Credit Losses (the "Allowance")
As of September 30, 2024, the Allowance was $147.3 million or 1.06% of total loans and leases outstanding, compared with an Allowance of $146.4 million or 1.05% of total loans and leases outstanding as of December 31, 2023. The Allowance as of September 30, 2024, continues to include a qualitative overlay to account for economic uncertainty and downside risk of a recession.
Net charge-offs on loans and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $3.8 million or 0.11% and $9.5 million or 0.09%, respectively of total average loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared to $2.0 million or 0.06% and $6.1 million or 0.06% of total average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to higher gross charge-offs in both commercial and industrial and other consumer portfolios.
The Unfunded Reserve was $3.0 million as of September 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.0 million or 45% from December 31, 2023, primarily driven by higher commercial and industrial utilization rates and a slight decline in construction commitments. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Condition.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses was $3.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $6.5 million for the same periods last year.
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 managing volatility to an acceptable level.
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The objective of our interest rate risk management process is to optimize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits that balance expected return with potential earnings and price volatility that may arise due to changes in interest rates over short-term, medium-term, and long-term time horizons while 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.
We utilize two management guidelines to measure our interest rate risk exposure to fluctuations in interest rates: 1) net interest income (“NII”) sensitivity, and 2) economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity. NII and EVE sensitivities measure the estimated percentage change in forward looking net interest income and economic value, respectively, under instantaneous parallel shocks of the yield curve that range from -400 basis points to +400 basis points. NII sensitivity is measured over two successive 12-month periods and thus evaluates interest rate risk over short-term and medium-term time horizons, while EVE sensitivity, which captures the present value of all on and off-balance sheet positions, measures interest rate risk over a long-term time horizon. The results are measured relative to established limits and early warning indicators that ensure that fluctuation in income and valuation in both up and down rate shocks remain within levels approved by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) and the Board of Directors. While we recognize that instantaneous parallel shocks of the entire yield curve are unrealistic, we believe that the application of immediate shocks provides us with a sufficient range of potential outcomes to frame our risk exposures. We pay particular attention to the +/-200 basis point shock sensitivities, as we believe they represent a more realistic range of rate movements that could occur in the near to medium term. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we remained within applicable guidelines for such scenarios.
The ALCO, which is comprised of members of executive management, utilizes several techniques to manage interest rate risk, which include:
Changes in interest rates may have a material impact on earnings and valuation as a result of balance sheet cash flow, maturity structure and repricing frequency. The investment portfolio and loan portfolio has significant repricing volumes and cash flows from maturities and paydowns, providing us with the opportunity to redeploy funds in order to respond to changes in the rate environment. These assets are primarily funded by deposit balances, which generally have an indeterminate life. Historically, our deposit base has consisted primarily of core consumer and commercial deposit relationships. While we strive to position our balance sheet to organically reduce volatility in earnings and valuation, primarily through our funding and investment portfolio positioning, as well as product pricing strategies, we have also established a hedging program designed to allow us to adjust the duration of our earning assets synthetically. As of September 30, 2024, our hedging program consisted primarily of pay-fixed interest rate swaps. As interest rates change, we may use different instruments to manage interest rate risk, including caps, floors, swaptions and other commonly utilized derivative instruments. See Note 11 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 assets and liabilities in various interest rate environments. This model is used to estimate and measure our balance sheet sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Given the structure of our balance sheet, model results are particularly sensitive to changes in prepayment rates on mortgage-related assets and interest-bearing deposit repricing behavior. We utilize a model to estimate the prepayment behavior of our mortgage-related assets, which considers the characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans, including rate (used to gauge refinance incentive), seasoning or age, and seasonality. The model’s forecasted results are regularly tested against historical prepayment behavior and is, in the ordinary course, recalibrated if the difference between actual and projected prepayments exceed established guidelines. Separate models are utilized to project interest-bearing deposit repricing behavior in various interest rate environments. These models were developed based upon our historical repricing behavior over several interest rate cycles. The models’ forecast results are periodically tested against historical pricing and have been and may continue to be recalibrated.
We utilize net interest income simulations to analyze short-term income sensitivities to changes in interest rates. Table 17a presents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, an estimate of the change in net interest income over the next twelve months that would result from an immediate change in interest rates, moving in a parallel fashion 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 September 30, 2024, net interest income is expected to increase as interest rates rise. Rising interest rates would drive higher rates on floating rate loans and investment securities, as well as higher reinvestment rates on loan and investment securities cashflows. However, lower interest rates would likely cause an initial 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 September 30, 2024, NII sensitivity to changes in interest rates for the twelve months subsequent to September 30, 2024, was less sensitive in comparison to the sensitivity profile for December 31, 2023. NII sensitivity decreased due primarily to an increase in assumed deposit repricing sensitivity. To analyze the impact of changes in interest rates in a more realistic manner, non-parallel interest rate scenarios are also simulated. These non-parallel interest rate scenarios help to isolate the sensitivity of earnings to various points on the yield curve. Based upon our interest rate simulations, the Company is exposed to movements in both the short and long-end of the yield curve. A movement higher or lower in the short-end of the yield curve would lead to floating-rate assets immediately repricing, while liability funding would react on a lag. Thus, net interest income may decrease from the base case in the near term if short-term rates were to decrease, although would benefit if short-term rates were to increase and liabilities maintained their ability to lag market rate increases. A movement higher or lower in the long-end of the yield curve would lead to assets repricing over time given ongoing cash flows from maturities and prepayments of investment securities and loans. Net interest income may decrease from the base case should long-term rates decline from their current levels, although would benefit if long-term rates were to increase.

Table 17b presents an estimate of the change in EVE that would result from an immediate change in interest rates, moving in a parallel fashion over the entire yield curve, relative to the measured base case scenario. Similar to the sensitivity profile above, the base case scenario assumes the statement of condition and interest rates are generally unchanged.

EVE sensitivity was largely unchanged, as our addition of pay-fixed swaps continue to offset the sensitivity of fixed-rate assets in up rate shock environments.
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 refinancing, 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.
We maintain access to ample sources of readily available contingent liquidity. As of September 30, 2024 we had pledged loans and investment securities to the Federal Reserve Discount Window and had remaining borrowing capacity of $7.2 billion. We are also a member of the FHLB Des Moines. As of September 30, 2024, we had pledged loans to the FHLB and had remaining borrowing capacity of $1.9 billion.
In addition, we utilize our investment securities portfolio as collateral to secure deposits of public entities as well as repurchase agreements with private institution counterparties. The high-quality nature of our investment securities portfolio, which consists primarily of government and agency securities, facilitates the use of these assets for pledging purposes.
Other sources of liquidity also include investment securities in our AFS securities portfolio and our ability to sell loans in the secondary market. Our core deposits have historically provided us with a long-term source of stable and relatively low-cost source of funding. Additional funding is also available through the issuance of long-term debt or equity.
General market and economic conditions will impact our ability to borrow funds from external sources, as well as the cost of such borrowing both in terms of rate, as well as haircuts on collateral pledged to support such borrowings. Although a significant portion of our investment securities were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2024, we believe we have sufficient access to various forms of liquidity that would alleviate the need to liquidate these investment securities and realize the losses.
We continued our focus on maintaining a strong liquidity position. As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $1.3 billion, the carrying value of our AFS investment securities was $2.6 billion, and total deposits were $21.0 billion. As of September 30, 2024, our AFS investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities with an average base duration of approximately 3.31 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, which will be complete as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized.” There have been no conditions or events since September 30, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, shareholders’ equity was $1.7 billion, an increase of $251.2 million or 18% from December 31, 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, net income of $110.8 million, net preferred stock issuance of $160.6 million, other comprehensive income of $61.3 million, share-based compensation of $11.1 million, and common stock issued under purchase and equity compensation plans of $4.1 million were offset by cash dividends declared of $84.2 million on common shares, common stock repurchased of $5.1 million, and cash dividends declared of $7.4 million on preferred shares. No shares of common stock were repurchased under the share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2024. From the beginning of our share repurchase program in July 2001 through September 30, 2024, 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.
Remaining buyback authority under our share repurchase program was $126.0 million as of September 30, 2024. 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 October 2024, the Parent’s Board of Directors declared quarterly dividend payments of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, of $10.94 per share, equivalent to $0.2735 per depositary share and its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, of $20.00 per share, equivalent to $0.5000 per depositary share. Dividends will be payable on November 1, 2024, to shareholders of record of the preferred stock at the close of business on October 17, 2024.
In October 2024, 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 December 13, 2024, to shareholders of record of the common stock at the close of business on November 29, 2024.
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, 2023.
