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 Hawaii Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii, Guam, and other Pacific Islands. 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”).
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, 2020.
Preferred Stock Issuance
On June 15, 2021, the Company issued and sold 7,200,000 depositary shares (the “depositary shares”), each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 4.375% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and expenses, totaled $175.5 million. Dividends on the Series A 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 4.375% per annum. Holders of the Series A 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 A 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, 2026 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.
On July 6, 2021, the Parent’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend payment of $5.59 per share on its Series A Preferred Stock. This dividend equals $0.13975 per depositary share. The dividend will be payable on August 2, 2021 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock as of July 16, 2021.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. Finally, it clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

1 The fair value and gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2020, have been updated to properly reflect the length of time they were in a continuous unrealized loss position.
The Company does not believe that the AFS debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2021, which were comprised of 174 individual securities, represent a credit loss impairment. The gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the gross unrealized losses reported for mortgage-backed securities were mostly related to investment securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. 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.
11
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 June 30, 2021.
Interest income from taxable and non-taxable investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, were as follows:

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.
Visa Class B Restricted Shares
In 2008, the Company received Visa Class B restricted shares as part of Visa’s initial public offering. These shares are transferable only under limited circumstances until they can be converted into the publicly traded Class A common shares. This conversion will not occur until the settlement of certain litigation which will be indemnified by Visa members, including the Company. Visa funded an escrow account from its initial public offering to settle these litigation claims. Should this escrow account be insufficient to cover these litigation claims, Visa is entitled to fund additional amounts to the escrow account by reducing each member bank’s Class B conversion ratio to unrestricted Class A shares. As of June 30, 2021, the conversion ratio was 1.6228. See Note 11 Derivative Financial Instruments for more information.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold its remaining 80,214 Visa Class B Shares and recorded a $14.2 million gain on sale. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer owns any Visa Class B shares.

The majority of the Company’s lending activity is with customers located in the State of Hawaii. A substantial portion of the Company’s real estate loans are secured by real estate in Hawaii.
Net gains related to sales of residential mortgage loans, recorded as a component of mortgage banking income were $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively, and $4.7 million and $5.6 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company elected to exclude AIR from the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, AIR for loans totaled $31.2 million and $35.9 million, respectively, and is included in the “accrued interest receivable” line item on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act established the PPP, which provides loans to small businesses who were affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash-flow assistance to employers who maintain their eligible costs during the COVID-19 emergency. PPP loans carry an interest rate of one percent, and a maturity of two or five years. These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used to cover eligible costs over a period of up to 24 weeks after the loan is made as long as certain conditions are met regarding employee retention and compensation levels. PPP loans deemed eligible for forgiveness by the SBA will be repaid by the SBA to the Company. The SBA pays the Company fees for processing PPP loans. These processing fees are accounted for as loan origination fees and recognized over the contractual loan term as a yield adjustment on the loans.

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, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk-rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans and leases to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.
14
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 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.
15
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 June 30, 2021.

Aging Analysis
Loans and leases are considered to be past due once becoming 30 days delinquent. For the consumer portfolio, this generally represents two missed monthly payments. The following presents by class, an aging analysis of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Modifications
A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Loans modified in a TDR were $84.9 million as of June 30, 2021, and $72.5 million as of December 31, 2020. There were $0.2 million and $0.5 million commitments to lend additional funds on loans modified in a TDR as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific Allowance associated with the loan. An Allowance for impaired commercial and consumer loans that have been modified in a TDR is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates.
The following presents by class, information related to loans modified in a TDR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020.

Commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The specific Allowance associated with the loan may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the Allowance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan.

Modifications in response to COVID-19
The Company initially offered short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. These modifications generally involve principal and/or interest payment deferrals for up to six months. As the COVID-19 pandemic persists in negatively impacting the economy, the Company continues to offer additional loan modifications to borrowers struggling as a result of COVID-19. Similar to the initial modifications granted, the additional round of loan modifications generally involve principal and/or interest payment deferrals for up to an additional six months for commercial and consumer loans, and principal-only deferrals for up to an additional 12 months for selected commercial loans. The Company generally continues to accrue and recognize interest income during the deferral period. The Company offers several repayment options such as immediate repayment, repayment over a designated time period or as a balloon payment at maturity, or by extending the loan term. These modifications generally do not involve forgiveness or interest rate reductions. In addition, the Company evaluates the need to record an allowance for the related AIR. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an AIR allowance of $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The allowance was recorded as a contra-asset against AIR with the offset to provision for credit losses. In addition, the Company elected to deduct the AIR from the AIR Allowance (rather than reversing interest income) when the AIR is deemed uncollectible, which generally occurs when the related loan is placed on nonaccrual status or is charged-off.
Company, as lessor, also granted short-term lease concessions on some of its sales-type finance leases for equipment and automobiles. The concessions primarily consists of six-month extension programs whereby lease payments currently due are deferred and shifted to the end of the lease term. Interest income continues to accrue, and in certain cases paid during the deferral period. Additional rounds of lease concessions were not material.
In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the joint agency statement issued by banking agencies, these COVID-19 related loan and lease modifications are not accounted for as TDRs. These loan and lease modifications totaled $205.3 million (118 loans and leases) for the commercial segment and $13.2 million (65 loans and leases) for the consumer segment as of June 30, 2021, and $311.6 million (210 loans and leases) for the commercial segment and $178.1 million (1,920 loans and leases) for the consumer segment as of December 31, 2020.
Foreclosure Proceedings
Consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure totaled $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021.
Note 5. Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2021, and $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2020. 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 $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, and $3.2 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, were as follows:
Weighted-Average Constant Prepayment Rate 1

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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, is presented in the following table.
Constant Prepayment Rate
Decrease in fair value from 25 basis points (“bps”) adverse change

(401
Discount Rate

(213

(422
(365
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 and related unfunded commitments were $130.9 million and $138.9 million as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 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 we use 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 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.

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, 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.

As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not designate any derivative financial instruments as formal hedging relationships. The Company’s free-standing derivative financial instruments are required to be carried at their fair value on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition.
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 swap agreements with third-party financial institutions. The 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 cash or 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 liability positions with its financial institution counterparties totaling $10.1 million and $17.2 million as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Parties to over-the-counter derivatives which are centrally cleared through a clearinghouse exchange daily payments that reflect the daily change in value of the derivatives. Effective 2017, these payments, commonly referred to as variation margin, are recorded as settlements of the derivatives’ mark-to-market exposure rather than collateral against the exposures. This rule change effectively results in all centrally cleared derivatives having a fair value that approximates zero on a daily basis. Substantially all of our swap agreements originated after the rule change are centrally cleared.
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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 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. See Note 3 Investment Securities for more information.
Note 12. Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees
The Company’s credit commitments as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, were as follows:
Unfunded Commitments to Extend Credit
2,819,038
2,787,123
Standby Letters of Credit
99,100
100,186
Commercial Letters of Credit
14,953
10,511
Total Credit Commitments
2,933,091
2,897,820
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.
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.
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 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 cleared interest rate swaps with financial institution counterparties (and the related customer interest rate swaps) is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, while the valuation methodology for uncleared interest rate swaps is based on the Effective Federal Funds 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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 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 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.

Unobservable 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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Hierarchy
Net Carrying
Mortgage Servicing Rights - amortization method
Level 3
The write-down of mortgage servicing rights accounted for under the amortization method was primarily due to changes in certain key assumptions used to estimate fair value. 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.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. 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 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.

In addition, our senior management may make 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 on travel and any lingering effects therefrom, volatility in the international and national economy and credit markets, 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, including, without limitation, the anticipated elimination of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark interest rate; 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 Hawaii; 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. 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 and Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. 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.
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 most 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, 2020. 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, 2020. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.
Overview

The Company’s business strategy is to use our unique market knowledge, prudent management discipline and brand strength to deliver exceptional value to our stakeholders.
Hawaii Economy
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is continuing to have an impact on the Hawaii economy. The actions taken by the State of Hawaii beginning in March 2020 were imposed to mitigate the spread and lessen the public health impact of the COVID-19 virus in Hawaii. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, at risk industries of leisure and hospitality represented 19% of jobs and 10% of Hawaii’s GDP. Hawaii benefits from a wide range of industries that help to provide stability in the case of economic shocks. Federal government jobs, primarily military, have historically been a stabilizing part of Hawaii’s economy, supplying about 20% of GDP. Construction activity, including the Honolulu Rail Project, and other non-visitor-related activities have continued despite COVID-19. Hawaii’s large retiree population also contributes to a stable economic base. The U.S. government has enacted several stimulus programs to counteract the economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”), and American Rescue Plan (“ARP”). Notwithstanding, the Hawaii economy will likely continue to face significant challenges.
We have taken and continue to take significant steps to help our customers who have been impacted by COVID-19. For our consumer customers, we initially provided payment relief for residential mortgage, home equity, auto loan, auto lease and direct personal loans for up to six months. We waived associated late fees, while not reporting these payment deferrals as late payments to the credit bureaus for all customers who were current prior to the event. For our commercial customers that continued to make interest payments, we provided six months of principal deferral, or alternatively, three months of interest or interest and principal deferral. As the COVID-19 pandemic persists in negatively impacting the economy, the Company continues to offer some loan modifications to borrowers struggling as a result of COVID-19.
The Bank continues to responsibly lend to qualified consumer and commercial customers. We participated in the SBA’s Small Business Paycheck Protection Program. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank had 4,685 PPP loans totaling $513.5 million net of deferred cost and fees.
Earnings Summary
Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $67.5 million, an increase of $28.6 million or 74% compared to the same period in 2020. Diluted earnings per common share was $1.68 for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.70 or 71% compared to the same period in 2020.
The Company’s higher earnings for the second quarter of 2021 were primarily due to the following:
•
We recorded a $16.1 million negative provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $40.4 million provision recorded in the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to management’s best estimate of losses over the life of loans in our portfolio in accordance with the CECL approach, given the economic outlook and forecasts for COVID-19 pandemic driven market changes, as well as the impact of unprecedented intervention of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs.
Fees, exchange, and other service charges for the second quarter of 2021 were $13.8 million, an increase of $4.4 million or 47% compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher ATM and debit card transaction volume.
Net occupancy expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $5.0 million, a decrease of $3.7 million or 42% compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million gain on sale of real estate property on the island of Oahu during the second quarter of 2021.
Trust and asset management for the second quarter of 2021 were $11.7 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 11% primarily due to an increase in market value and trust fees.
Service charges on deposit accounts for the second quarter of 2021 was $6.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 19% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in overdraft fees.
This increase in net income over the second quarter of 2020 was partially offset by the following:
Investment securities gains, net totaled $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $13.2 million during the same period in 2020. The net gains in the second quarter of 2021 were due to sales of mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities. The net gain in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to the sale of our remaining 80,214 Visa Class B shares.
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2021 was $20.0 million, an increase of $10.2 million compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher pretax income. The total tax adjustments were relatively the same in both periods. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was 22.84%, up from 20.05% for the same period in 2020.
Total salaries and benefits expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $56.2 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 11% compared to the same period in 2020, due in part to a $2.0 million increase in incentive compensation. Share-based compensation increased by $1.2 million primarily due to a higher number of restricted stock units being amortized. Commission expense increased by $1.0 million primarily due to an increase in loan origination and refinance activity.
Total other expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $17.2 million, an increase of $5.0 million or 41% compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to $3.2 million of early termination costs incurred in the second quarter of 2021 related to the prepayment of $50.0 million of repurchase agreements and $50.0 million of FHLB advances.
Net interest income was $123.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $3.2 million or 3% compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to lower yields on investment securities and loans and leases. Net interest margin was 2.37% in the second quarter of 2021, a 46 basis point decrease from the same period in 2020.
43
Other income for the second quarter of 2021 was $4.4 million, a decrease of $1.8 million or 28% compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in fees related to our customer interest rate swap derivatives.
Mortgage banking income was $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1.2 million or 29% compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to valuation adjustments recorded for our mortgage servicing rights. During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized a $1.1 million valuation impairment to our mortgage servicing rights compared to a $0.7 million valuation allowance recovery recorded in second quarter 2020.
Net income for the first six months of 2021 was $127.5 million, an increase of $53.8 million or 73% compared to the same period in 2020. Diluted earnings per common share was $3.18 for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $1.33 or 72% compared to the same period in 2020.
The Company’s higher earnings for the first six months of 2021 were primarily due to the following:
We recorded a $30.4 million negative provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2021 compared to a $74.0 million provision recorded in the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to management’s best estimate of losses over the life of loans in our portfolio in accordance with the CECL approach, given the economic outlook and forecasts for COVID-19 pandemic driven market changes, as well as the impact of unprecedented intervention of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs.
Fees, exchange, and other service charges expenses for the first six months of 2021 were $27.4 million, an increase of $4.8 million or 21% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher ATM and debit card transaction volume.
Net occupancy expenses for the first six months of 2021 were $14.1 million, a decrease of $3.6 million or 20% compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million gain on sale of real estate property on the island of Oahu.
Mortgage banking income for the first six months of 2021 were $8.9 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 28% compared to the same period in 2020. For the first six months of 2021 we recognized a $1.1 million valuation allowance recovery to our mortgage servicing rights compared to a $1.8 million valuation impairment recorded in 2020. The increase was partially offset by lower conforming salable loans from current production.
Trust and asset management for the first six months of 2021 were $23.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 7% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in market value and trust fees.
This increase in net income over the first six months of 2020 was partially offset by the following:
The provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2021 was $39.0 million, an increase of $21.8 million compared to the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2021 was 23.43%, up from 18.95% for the same period in 2020. The higher effective tax rate for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the aforementioned higher pretax book income compared to a consistent amount of tax adjustments.
44
Investment securities gains, net totaled $1.2 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to $12.2 million during the same period in 2020. The net gains in the first six months of 2021 were due to sales of mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities. The net gain in the first six months of 2020 was primarily due to the sale of 80,214 Visa Class B shares.
Other income for the first six months of 2021 was $9.1 million, a decrease of $7.4 million or 45% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease in fees related to our customer interest rate swap derivatives.
Total salaries and benefits expense for the first six months of 2021 were $112.4 million, an increase of $7.2 million or 7% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in incentive compensation coupled with a $2.4 million increase in share-based compensation due to a higher number of restricted stock units being amortized. These increases were partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in separation expense.
Total other expenses for the first six months of 2021 were $30.4 million, an increase of $3.3 million or 12% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the aforementioned $3.2 million early termination costs incurred in the second quarter of 2021 related to the prepayment of $50.0 million of repurchase agreements and $50.0 million of FHLB advances.
Data processing expenses for the first six months of 2021 was $10.9 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 18% compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the rollout of contactless cards in the first quarter of 2021
Net equipment expense for the first six months of 2021 was $17.7 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 6% compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher depreciation expense.
We maintained a strong balance sheet during the second quarter of 2021, with what we believe are appropriate reserves for credit losses and high levels of liquidity and capital highlighted by the following.
Total loans and leases were $12.0 billion as of June 30, 2021, an increase $101.4 million or 1% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to growth in our consumer lending portfolio.
The Allowance for Credit Losses (the “Allowance”) was $180.4 million as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $35.9 million or 17% from December 31, 2020. The Allowance represented 1.50% of total loans and leases outstanding as of June 30, 2021, and 1.81% of total loans and leases outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The level of our Allowance was commensurate with the Company’s credit risk profile, future economic outlook, and forecasts utilized.
The total carrying value of our investment securities portfolio was $8.5 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion or 20% compared to December 31, 2020. Mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac are the largest concentration in our portfolio.
Total deposits were $20.2 billion as of June 30, 2021, an increase of $2.0 billion or 11% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in commercial and consumer deposits.
On June 15, 2021, the Company issued and sold 7,200,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 4.375% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share. Net proceeds after underwriting discounts and expenses were $175.5 million.
Total shareholders’ equity was $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2021, an increase of $209.0 million or 15% from December 31, 2020. While we continued to return capital to our shareholders in the form of dividends, in March 2020, we suspended share repurchases in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to resume our share repurchase program as soon as practicable subject to market and economic conditions and applicable SEC rules. During the first six months of 2021, we acquired 37,156 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $3.3 million from shares obtained from employees and/or directors in connection with income tax withholdings related to the vesting of restricted stock and shares purchased for a deferred compensation plan.
Cash dividends on common shares of $54.1 million were distributed during the first six months of 2021.

Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and total noninterest income).
Net interest margin is defined as net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, as a percentage of average earning assets.
Dividend payout ratio is defined as dividends declared per common share divided by basic earnings per common share.
The numerator comprises the Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans and Leases.
Tangible common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as shareholders’ equity minus preferred stock and goodwill.
46
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The ratios “tangible common equity to tangible assets” and “tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets” are Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these measurements are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy relative to other financial institutions. Although these Non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a financial institution, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. Table 2 provides a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures with their most closely related GAAP measures.

The change in interest income and expense not solely due to changes in volume or rate has been allocated on a pro-rata basis to the volume and rate columns.
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. The lower margin in 2021 was primarily due to lower yields on investment securities and loans and leases. These decreases were partially offset by a higher level of earning assets and lower funding costs.
Yields on our earning assets decreased by 59 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 70 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to the lower rate environment. Yields on our investment securities portfolio decreased by 68 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 80 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to higher premium amortization coupled with purchases of lower yielding securities. Yield decreases in our construction, commercial mortgage, and commercial and industrial loans were primarily due to lower yields on floating rate loans. Yields on our construction loans decreased by 27 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 69 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to lower yields on floating-rate loans, and new loans with lower rates in comparison to loans that were paid off or transferred to commercial mortgage upon completion. Yields on our commercial mortgage loans decreased by 46 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 69 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. Similar to our construction loans, commercial mortgage loan yields were negatively impacted by lower yields on floating-rate loans, and new loans with lower rates than loans that were paid off. These decreases were partially offset by interest recoveries in the current year. Yields on our commercial and industrial loans excluding PPP loans decreased by 32 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 55 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to lower yields on floating-rate loans coupled with new loans at lower rates than loans that were paid off. Contractual yields on PPP loans are fixed at 1%, however, effective yield varies based on processing fee income being accelerated due to loans being forgiven by the SBA ahead of maturity. The contribution to the earning asset yield for the current quarter was an increase of 14 basis points. Yields on our funds sold was relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Yields on our funds sold decreased by 25 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to federal fund rate decreases.
Interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 18 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 28 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. Decreases to our funding costs are primarily due to lower rates paid on our interest-bearing deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by 23 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and by 26 basis points in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. In May 2021, we terminated two of our repurchase agreements with an aggregated total of $50.0 million. These repurchase agreements were scheduled to mature in 2024 and 2026. The repurchase agreements had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.35%. The decrease in our funding costs were partially offset by higher average balances in our interest-bearing deposits. The average balance of our interest bearing demand deposits increased by $1.2 billion or 38% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $1.2 billion or 36% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. The average balance of savings deposits increased by $841.6 million or 13% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $679.3 million or 10% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020.
Average balances of our earning assets increased by $3.0 billion or 16% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $2.9 billion or 17% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to an increase in the average balances of our investment securities. Average balance of investment securities increased by $2.2 billion or 39% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $1.9 billion or 33% in the first six months compared to the same periods in 2020. Average balances of our loan and lease portfolio increased by $368.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 and by $630.6 million or 6% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. The average balance of funds sold increased by $400.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 and by $400.2 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. The average balance of our commercial mortgage portfolio increased by $260.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 and by $278.7 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 as a result of continued demand from new and existing customers. The average balance in our residential mortgage portfolio increased by $294.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 and by $273.2 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to higher loan originations partially offset by an increase in payoff activity. The average balance of our commercial and industrial portfolio including PPP loans, was relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The average balance of our commercial and industrial portfolio including PPP loans, increased by $233.0 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to origination of new loans under the PPP, partially offset by payoff activity. The average balance of our home equity portfolio decreased by $91.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 and by $89.0 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 as a result of elevated runoff rates and lower utilization rates.
50
Average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities increased by $1.5 billion or 12% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $1.5 billion or 12% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to growth in our demand and savings products. Average balance in our core interest bearing deposit products increased by $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2021 and by $1.8 billion in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. Average balances of our other debt, which was comprised primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances decreased by $30.3 million or 50% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $18.4 million or 29% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to the prepayment of FHLB advances totaling $50.0 million in the second quarter of 2021.

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 we manage and the fee rate charged to customers. Total trust assets under administration were $11.0 billion and $9.9 billion as of June 30, 2021, and, June 30, 2020, respectively. Trust and asset management income increased by $1.1 million or 11% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $1.5 million or 7% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to increases in market value and trust fees.
Mortgage banking income is highly influenced by mortgage interest rates, the housing market, the amount of our loan sales, and our valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage banking income decreased by $1.2 million or 29% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to valuation adjustments recorded for our mortgage servicing rights. During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized a $1.1 million valuation impairment to our mortgage servicing rights compared to a $0.7 million valuation allowance recovery recorded in the second quarter of 2020. Mortgage banking income increased by $1.9 million or 28% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. For the first six months of 2021, we recognized a $1.1 million valuation allowance recovery to our mortgage servicing rights compared to a $1.8 million valuation impairment to our mortgage servicing rights recorded in 2020. The increase was offset by lower conforming salable loans from current production.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $1.0 million or 19% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in overdraft fees. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $0.4 million or 3% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in overdraft fees.
Fees, exchange, and other service charges, which are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, fees from ATMs, merchant service activity, and other loan fees and service charges, increased by $4.4 million or 47% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $4.8 million or 21% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases were primarily due to higher ATM and debit card transaction volume.
Investment securities gains, net totaled $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $13.2 million during the same period in 2020. The net gain in second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the sales of mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities. The net gain in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to the sale of 80,214 Visa Class B shares. These net gains in the first six months of 2021 and 2020 were partially offset by fees paid to the counterparties of our prior Visa Class B share sale transactions.
Annuity and insurance income remained relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Annuity and insurance income decreased by $0.2 million or 11% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in annuity and life insurance products sold.
Bank-owned life insurance increased by $0.4 million or 25% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $0.8 million or 23% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases were primarily due to an increase in death benefits received.
Other noninterest income decreased by $1.8 million or 28% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $7.4 million or 45% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. These decreases were primarily due to a decrease in fees related to our customer interest rate swap derivatives.

Total salaries and benefits expense increased by $5.4 million or 11% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due in part to a $2.0 million increase in incentive compensation. Share-based compensation increased by $1.2 million primarily due to a higher number of restricted stock units being amortized. Commission expense increased by $1.0 million primarily due to an increase in both loan origination and refinance activity. Total salaries and benefits expense increased by $7.2 million or 7% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in incentive compensation coupled with a $2.4 million increase in share-based compensation due to a higher number of restricted stock units being amortized. These increases were partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in separation expense.
Net occupancy expense decreased by $3.7 million or 42% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $3.6 million or 20% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million gain on sale of real estate property on the island of Oahu during the second quarter of 2021 coupled with a $0.6 million decrease in repairs and maintenance for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020.
Net equipment expense increased by $0.6 million or 7% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $1.0 million or 6% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. This increase was due to higher depreciation expense.
Data processing expense increased by $0.1 million or 3% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to increased information technology projects. Data processing expense increased by $1.7 million or 18% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the rollout of contactless cards in the first quarter of 2021.
FDIC insurance expense increased by $0.1 million or 7% in the second quarter of 2021 and by $0.3 million or 10% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to an increase in assessment rates.
Total other expense increased by $5.0 million or 41% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to $3.2 million early termination costs incurred in the second quarter of 2021 related to the prepayment of $50.0 million of repurchase agreements and $50.0 million of FHLB advances. Total other expense increased by $3.3 million or 12% for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to the aforementioned $3.2 million early termination costs incurred in the second quarter of 2021 related to the prepayment of $50.0 million of repurchase agreements and $50.0 million of FHLB advances.

The provision for income taxes was $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $10.2 million compared to the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was 22.84%, up from 20.05% for the same period in 2020. The higher effective rate in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to higher pretax book income. The total tax adjustments were relatively the same in both periods.
The provision for income taxes was $39.0 million for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $21.8 million compared to the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2021 was 23.43%, up from 18.95% for the same period in 2020. The higher effective tax rate for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the aforementioned higher pretax book income compared to a consistent amount of tax adjustments.
Analysis of Statements of Condition
The carrying value of our investment securities portfolio was $8.5 billion and $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 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. 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 June 30, 2021, our portfolio of Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities were primarily comprised of securities issued in 2008 or later. As of June 30, 2021, these mortgage-backed securities were all AAA-rated, with a low probability of a change in their credit ratings in the near future.
Gross unrealized gains in our investment securities portfolio were $93.4 million as of June 30, 2021, and $158.9 million as of December 31, 2020. Gross unrealized losses in our investment securities were $74.6 million as of June 30, 2021, and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2020. The overall decrease in net unrealized gains was primarily due to the increase in interest rates during 2021. The gross unrealized losses were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

The PPP amounts presented, which are reported net of deferred costs and fees, were previously included as a component of the Commercial and Industrial loan class.
Total loans and leases as of June 30, 2021, increased by $101.4 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2020, primarily due to growth in our consumer lending portfolio.
Commercial loans and leases as of June 30, 2021, remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2020. Commercial and industrial loans decreased by $100.3 million or 7% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to customers paying down commercial credit lines. PPP loans remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2020 as new loans originated in 2021 were substantially offset by loans which were forgiven during the same period. Commercial mortgage loans increased by $89.6 million or 3% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to demand from new and existing customers. Construction loans increased by $17.6 million or 7% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in construction activity in our market. Lease financing remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2020.
Consumer loans and leases as of June 30, 2021, increased by $98.9 million or 1% from December 31, 2020. Residential mortgage loans increased by $133.7 million or 3% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to higher loan originations, partially offset by an increase in payoff activity. Home equity decreased by $9.8 million or 1% from December 31, 2020, as a result of elevated runoff rates. Automobile loans remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2020. Other consumer loans decreased by $30.9 million or 8% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to pay-off activity in our installment loans.

For secured loans and leases, classification as U.S. Mainland is made based on where the collateral is located. For unsecured loans and leases, classification as U.S. Mainland is made based on the location where the majority of the borrower’s business operations are conducted.
Our commercial and consumer lending activities are concentrated primarily in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. Our commercial loan and lease portfolio to borrowers based on the U.S. Mainland includes legacy lease financing and participation in shared national credits for customers whose operations and assets extend beyond Hawaii.

Total other assets decreased by $14.6 million or 3% from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $40.7 million decrease in derivative financial instruments, which was primarily due to fair value decreases of our interest rate swap agreement assets, which are impacted by prevailing interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in deferred taxes of $17.6 million, primarily due to temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax basis of unrealized losses on investment securities which were partially offset by a reduction in the allowance for credit losses.

Total deposits were $20.2 billion as of June 30, 2021, an increase of $2.0 billion or 11% from December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial and consumer deposits. Commercial deposits increased by $1.4 billion or 19% primarily due to a $1.3 billion increase in core deposits and a $45.6 million increase in time deposits. Consumer deposits increased by $500.6 million or 5% due to an increase in core deposits of $587.1 million, partially offset by an $86.5 million decrease in time deposits. In addition, public and other deposits increased by $84.5 million or 5% due to an increase in public demand deposits of $309.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $224.9 million.

Total Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $550.5 million as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $50.1 million or 8% from December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average maturity was 3.4 years for our repurchase agreements with government entities and 3.4 years for our repurchase agreements with private institutions. Some of our repurchase agreements with private institutions may be terminated at earlier specified dates by the private institution or in some cases by either the private institution or the Company. If all such agreements were to terminate at the earliest possible date, the weighted-average maturity for our repurchase agreements with private institutions would decrease to 3.2 years. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate for outstanding agreements with government entities and private institutions was 1.55% and 2.48%, 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.
In May 2021, we terminated two of our repurchase agreements, with an aggregate total of $50.0 million, with one private institution. These repurchase agreements were scheduled to mature in 2024 and 2026. The repurchase agreements had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.35%.

Analysis of Business Segments
Our business segments are defined as Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Treasury and Other.
Table 15 summarizes net income from our business segments. Additional information about segment performance is presented in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated Total
Net income increased by $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the Provision and an increase in noninterest income. This was partly offset by an increase in noninterest expense and a decrease in net interest income. The decrease in the Provision was primarily due to lower net charge-offs in our auto loan and installment loan portfolios. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to the temporary suspension of various ATM fees in the second quarter of 2020, as well as higher debit card transaction volume, increases in trust and asset management fees, and an increase in overdraft fees. This was partly offset by a decrease in mortgage banking income, primarily due to valuation adjustments recorded for our mortgage servicing rights. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in allocated expenses, partly offset by a gain on the sale of real estate property on the island of Oahu in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest income is primarily due to lower average rates in the segment’s deposit portfolio, partly offset by higher average balances in the deposit portfolio, as well as higher average rates and higher average balances in the segment’s loan portfolio.
Net income decreased by $3.7 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense and a decrease in net interest income. This was partly offset by a decrease in the Provision and an increase in noninterest income. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in allocated incentive compensation expense, partly offset by the aforementioned gain on sale of real estate property on the island of Oahu. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to lower average rates in the segment’s deposit portfolio, partly offset by higher average balances in the deposit portfolio, as well as higher average rates and higher average balances in the segment’s loan portfolio. The decrease in the Provision was primarily due to lower net charge-offs in our auto loan, residential mortgage, and installment loan portfolios. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to increases in mortgage banking income, trust and asset management fees, debit card income, and ATM fees. The increase in mortgage banking income was primarily the result of valuation adjustments recorded for mortgage servicing rights.
Net income decreased by $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to decreases in interest income and noninterest income, and increases in provision for credit losses and noninterest expense, partially offset by a reduction in provision for income tax. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower spreads on savings and time deposits. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by growth in the Commercial and Industrial and Commercial Mortgage portfolios. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily due to a decline in customer derivative program revenue and partially offset by increased merchant services. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due increased salaries and benefits and merchant services processing fees, partially offset by reduced allocated expenses.
Net income decreased by $3.7 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income, partially offset by a reduction in noninterest expense and provision for income taxes. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily due to a decline in customer derivative program revenue and partially offset by increases in account analysis, loan fees, and merchant services. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due increased salaries and benefits and merchant services processing fees, partially offset by reduced allocated expenses.
Net income increased by $28.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses (the “Provision”) partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and higher provision for income taxes. The decrease in noninterest income was due to the $14.2 million gain from the sale of Visa Class B Shares in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in the Provision was due to the changes in economic outlook and forecasts for COVID-19 pandemic driven market changes, and impacts of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs. 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 increased by $61.2 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the Provision partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and higher provision for income taxes. The decrease in noninterest income was due to the aforementioned $14.2 million gain from the sale of Visa Class B Shares in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in the Provision was due to the changes in economic outlook and forecasts for COVID-19 pandemic driven market changes, and impacts of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs.

Corporate Risk Profile
Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2021, our overall credit risk profile reflects the improving trend of economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets we serve. Despite the challenge of these economic impacts, the underlying risk profile of our credit portfolio remains strong.
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 Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”), or are no longer classified as non-accrual because they have returned to accrual status.
Residential mortgage non-accrual loans were $2.4 million as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.8 million or 24% from December 31, 2020, primarily due to returns to accrual status and payoffs. As of June 30, 2021, our residential mortgage non-accrual loans were comprised of nine loans with a weighted average current loan-to-value ratio of 67%.
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 as of June 30, 2021 was unchanged from December 31, 2020.
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 $9.3 million as of June 30, 2021, a $1.3 million or 12% decrease from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily in residential mortgage, other, and auto loans, which was partially offset by an increase in home equity.

Beginning December 31, 2020, the Company established a reserve on accrued interest receivable related to loans in which interest payment forbearances were granted to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The reserve was recorded as a contra-asset against accrued interest receivable with the offset to provision for credit losses.
The reserve for unfunded commitments is separately recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the offsetting provision was recorded in provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. In previous reporting periods, the offsetting provision was recorded in other noninterest expense.
63
As of June 30, 2021, the Allowance was $180.4 million or 1.50% of total loans and leases outstanding (1.56% excluding PPP loans), compared with an Allowance of $216.3 million or 1.81% of total loans and leases outstanding (1.89% excluding PPP loans) as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in the Allowance and the ratio of Allowance to loans and leases outstanding 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 and forecasts for COVID-19 pandemic driven market changes, as well as the impact of unprecedented intervention of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs.
Net charge-off on loans and leases were $1.2 million or 0.04% of total average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to net charge-offs of $5.1 million or 0.18% of total average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in net charge-offs on loans and leases was primarily due to the impact of government stimulus measures and the assistance we offered to borrowers to modify payment terms, which helped to reduce the number of charge-offs during the quarter. Net charge-off on loans and leases were $4.1 million or 0.07% of total average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, for the first six months of 2021.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Accrued Interest Receivable
This allowance was first established on December 31, 2020 for accrued interest receivable related to loans in which interest payment forbearances were granted to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The allowance for accrued interest receivable was $1.4 million as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.3 million or 47% from December 31, 2020 as a result of both loan and deferred interest payments.
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The Unfunded Reserve was $4.5 million as of June 30, 2021, an increase of $2.2 million or 93% from December 31, 2020, as a result of both loan and deferred interest repayments. Increase in the unfunded reserve was driven primarily by risk rating downgrades to commercial loans with low or no utilization.
We recorded a negative Provision of $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $40.4 million Provision during the same period in 2020. For the first six months of 2021 we recorded a negative Provision of $30.4 million compared to a $74.0 million Provision during the same period in 2020. These decreases were 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, consumer delinquency rates, post deferral consumer payment trends, and forecasts for COVID-19 pandemic driven market changes, as well as the impact of unprecedented intervention of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs.
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.
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:
adjusting the balance sheet mix or altering the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities;
changing product pricing strategies;
modifying characteristics of the investment securities portfolio; and
using derivative financial instruments.
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 19 presents, as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 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 June 30, 2021, net interest income is expected to increase as interest rates rise. 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 June 30, 2021, net interest income sensitivity to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2021, was slightly more sensitive in comparison to the sensitivity profile as of December 31, 2020.

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 indicate that net interest income may decrease from the base case scenario should the yield curve flatten or become inverted for a period of time. Conversely, 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 and our ability to sell loans in the secondary market. 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 lower 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 June 30, 2021, we had additional borrowing capacity of $2.9 billion from the FHLB and $0.8 billion from the FRB based on the amount of collateral pledged.
We continued our focus on maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the first six months of 2021. As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $1.2 billion, the carrying value of our available-for-sale investment securities was $4.5 billion, and total deposits were $20.2 billion as of June 30, 2021.
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.
66
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. As of June 30, 2021, the Company and the Bank were considered “well-capitalized” under this regulatory framework. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in Table 20 below. There have been no conditions or events since June 30, 2021, that management believes have changed either the Company’s or the Bank’s capital classifications.
As of June 30, 2021, shareholders’ equity was $1.6 billion, an increase of $209.0 million or 15% from December 31, 2020. For the first six months of 2021, net income of $127.5 million, net preferred stock issuance of $175.5 million, common stock issuances of $6.7 million, and share-based compensation of $6.1 million were partially offset by other comprehensive loss of $49.3 million, cash dividends paid of $54.1 million on common shares, and common stock repurchased of $3.3 million. All common stock repurchased were related to employees and/or directors in connection with income tax withholdings on vesting of restricted stock and shares purchased for a deferred compensation plan. In the first six months of 2021, there were no repurchases under our share repurchase program. From the beginning of our share repurchase program in July 2001 through June 30, 2021, we repurchased a total of 57.1 million shares of common stock and returned a total of $2.3 billion to our shareholders at an average cost of $40.51 per share.
Remaining buyback authority under our share repurchase program was $113.1 million as of June 30, 2021. In March 2020, we suspended share repurchases in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have elected to apply the modified transition provision related to the impact of the CECL accounting standard on regulatory capital, as provided by the US banking agencies’ March 2020 interim final rule that was finalized on September 30, 2020. Under the modified CECL transition provision, the regulatory capital impact of the Day 1 adjustment to the allowance for credit losses (after-tax), upon the January 1, 2020, CECL adoption date, has been deferred, and will phase in to regulatory capital at 25% per year commencing January 1, 2022. For the ongoing impact of CECL, we are allowed to defer the regulatory capital impact of the allowance for credit losses in an amount equal to 25% of the change in the allowance for credit losses (pre-tax) recognized through earnings for each period between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. The cumulative adjustment to the allowance for credit losses between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021, will also phase in to regulatory capital at 25% per year commencing January 1, 2022.
Regulatory Initiatives Affecting the Banking Industry
U.S. Government Relief Programs in Response to COVID-19
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act established several new temporary U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan programs to assist U.S. small businesses through the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the new loan programs is the Paycheck Protection Program, an expansion of the SBA’s 7(a) loan program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program. The PPP provides loans to small businesses who were affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash-flow assistance to employers who maintain their payroll (including healthcare and certain related expenses), mortgage interest, rent, leases, utilities and interest on existing debt during this emergency. Eligible borrowers need to make a good faith certification that the uncertainty of current economic conditions make requesting assistance necessary to support ongoing operations. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act, borrowers may apply to the Bank for loan forgiveness of all or a portion of the loan, subject to certain eligibility requirements and conditions. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”) was signed into law. The CAA provides several amendments to the PPP, including additional funding for first and second draws of PPP loans through March 31, 2021. On March 30, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was signed into law, which extends the program to May 31, 2021. The Bank is an SBA lender and accepted applications under the CARES Act via its online application process from April 3, 2020, until May 31, 2021, when the PPP program ended. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank had 4,685 PPP loans totaling $513.5 million net of deferred costs and fees.
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARP”) was signed into law. Chief among the $1.9 trillion stimulus act is additional support for individuals, including $1,400 checks to many Americans, extended unemployment benefits, and expanded tax credits. In addition, ARP provides funding for state and local governments and support for businesses continuing to struggle as a result of the pandemic, including a modest increase to PPP, expanded eligibility to more non-profits, a grant program for restaurants that have suffered pandemic-related losses, and extended payroll support for the airline industry.
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 Operating 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 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, 2020.

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 June 30, 2021. 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 June 30, 2021.
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 June 30, 2021, 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, 2020, except as described below.
Adverse changes in business and economic conditions, in particular those of Hawaii, Guam and other Pacific Islands, could lead to lower revenue, lower asset quality, and lower earnings.
Our business and earnings are closely tied to the economies of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. These local economies rely heavily on tourism, the U.S. military, real estate, construction, government, and other service-based industries. Lower visitor arrivals or spending, real or threatened acts of war or terrorism, public unrest, increases in energy costs, the availability of affordable air transportation, climate change, natural disasters and adverse weather, public health issues including Asian air pollution and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Federal, State of Hawaii and local government budget issues may impact consumer and corporate spending.
The impacts of various travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and quarantine requirements for visitors to Hawaii has had a dramatic negative impact on tourism. These events have contributed to a significant deterioration in general economic conditions in our markets which has impacted and will continue to adversely impact us and our customers’ operations. Though there has been an increase in tourism recently, many of the impacts in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands still linger.
Recent deterioration of economic conditions, locally, nationally, and internationally could adversely affect the quality of our assets, credit losses, and the demand for our products and services, which could lead to lower revenues, higher expenses, and lower earnings. In response to this deterioration, several government stimulus programs were initiated, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The level of visitor arrivals and spending, housing prices, and unemployment rates are some of the metrics that we continually monitor. We also monitor the value of collateral, such as real estate, that secures the loans we have made. The borrowing power of our customers could also be negatively impacted by a decline in the value of collateral.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the Hawaii economy and our business, and the extent and severity of the impact on our business and our financial results are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial performance. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects still cannot be determined with a reasonable level of certainty. We have experienced unprecedented levels of government stimulus in response to COVID-19 in the current economic cycle, the lasting impacts of which are unknown.
Novel viruses such as COVID-19 increase concerns related to illness when traveling and gathering in large numbers. In response, the majority of the nation’s state and local jurisdictions imposed stay-at-home and/or shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, executive orders or similar government orders and restrictions in order to control the spread of COVID-19.
The stay-at-home and safer-at-home orders, along with the mandatory 10-day self-quarantine travel restrictions, resulted in a dramatic decline in tourism in Hawaii. Though many of these restrictions are now being lifted or relaxed, tourism and tourism spending remained below pre-pandemic levels as various public events, attractions and venues were closed or cancelled. We cannot predict when these closures and cancellations will diminish or when tourism and tourism spending levels in Hawaii will fully recover. This decline in tourism has, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact to the Hawaii economy and our financial results.
Although some of the original restrictions have been relaxed, the mandatory self-quarantine travel restriction remains in place. Beginning October 15, 2020, arriving passengers and interisland travelers may avoid the self-quarantine requirements by providing proof of a recent negative test result for COVID-19 prior to boarding. Beginning July 8, 2021, passengers from the United States mainland may bypass testing or quarantine by proving proof of full vaccination (15 days following the final vaccination dose). While the relaxation in travel restrictions has resulted in an increase in visitor arrivals, the tourism industry in Hawaii is still below pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, current requirements are subject to change should the infection rates in Hawaii change, causing uncertainty and continuing to impact travel to Hawaii.
Even as more and more individuals become vaccinated, prior travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines related to the COVID-19 pandemic may have a lasting impact on tourism in Hawaii. Because many of our customers, both commercial and consumer, derive at least some of their income from tourism, this dramatic drop in tourism affects them directly, as well as the Hawaii economy as a whole. A downturn in the Hawaii economy and widespread impact to our customers’ income have a negative impact on our operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, regulatory capital and liquidity ratios.
The COVID-19 pandemic, the institution of physical distancing, and shelter-in-place requirements resulted in both temporary and permanent closures of many businesses. As a result, the demand for our products and services has been and may continue to be significantly impacted. The COVID-19 pandemic could prompt credit losses in our loan portfolios and increase our allowance for credit losses, particularly as businesses remain closed and as more customers draw on lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Our operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, due to illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. We temporarily or permanently closed certain of our branches and offices and many employees are still working remotely. Though we have re-opened some of our branches, others remain closed. It is anticipated that staffing levels at our headquarters will remain lower than pre-pandemic levels for some time.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended residential property foreclosure sales, evictions, and involuntary automobile repossessions. Evictions remain suspended. We offered other expanded assistance to customers such as fee waivers, payment deferrals or forbearances on automobile loans and leases, mortgages, home equity loans and lines, as well as commercial, small business and personal loans. Although our initial assistance programs have ended, we continue to work with our customers as some of the initial assistance programs have been extended or renewed. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, financial condition, regulatory capital, and liquidity ratios, will depend on the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities, the availability of federal, state, or local funding programs, actions taken by other third parties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, all of which are highly uncertain.

During the second quarter of 2021, 1,173 shares were acquired by the trustee of a trust established pursuant to the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DDCP”) directly from the Parent in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to participants under the DDCP. The issuance of these shares was made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The trustee under the trust and the participants under the DDCP are “Accredited Investors”, as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. These transactions did not involve a public offering and occurred without general solicitation or advertising. The shares were purchased at the closing price of the Parent’s common stock on the dates of purchase.
The share repurchase program was first announced in July 2001. The program has no set expiration or termination date. 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. On March 17, 2020, we suspended share repurchases in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to resume our share repurchase program as soon as practicable subject to market and economic conditions and applicable SEC rules.
