Excluding Maui wildfire-related expenses and expenses taken in connection with the review of strategic options for Pacific Current, Core¹ income from continuing operations² was $149 million, or $0.86 per share, compared to $124 million, or $0.98 per share in 2024³.

“Over the past year, we continued to take actions to ensure that we’re best positioned to serve the communities in which we operate for the long term. We made critical progress on initiatives we’ve worked toward for much of the last three years: advancing the Maui wildfire tort settlements toward final court approval, pursuing legislative measures that enable us to better serve our communities as we deal with the risk of wildfires, implementing wildfire safety improvements, and laying the groundwork for a successful second multi-year rate period under our Performance Based Regulation framework,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.

“Our core utility business continued to perform well in 2025, operating efficiently and maintaining financial strength while making the critical investments necessary to ensure safe, reliable and resilient service to our communities. Affordability has been a central focus of these efforts, with rates stable compared to a year ago, and the utility offering financial assistance to working families while providing more options for customers to manage their bills. We also saw the utility reaching a 37% renewable portfolio standard in 2025, putting us on track to meet the 40% RPS by 2030 statutory requirement. HEI continues to be well-positioned to execute our commitment to a stronger, more resilient and more financially healthy future.”

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS

Full Year Results:

Hawaiian Electric’s net income for the full year 2025 was $168 million compared to a net loss of $1,226 million for the full year 2024, with the increase primarily driven by the following pre-tax items (among others):

• The $1,875 million loss recorded in 2024 due to the accrual of estimated wildfire liabilities related to tort-related legal claims and cross claims (net of insurance recoveries);
• $21 million in higher revenues, primarily from the annual revenue adjustment mechanism; and
• $9 million impact from better heat rate performance.

These items were partially offset by (among others):

• $11 million in higher O&M, driven by $10 million in previously deferred legal and consulting fees;
• $10 million in higher interest expense; and
• $5 million of higher depreciation expense.

Hawaiian Electric’s Core net income for 2025 was $178 million compared to $181 million in 2024. Pre-tax wildfire-related expenses of $42 million were partially offset by approximately $28 million of costs deferred pursuant to the Public Utilities Commission’s decision allowing Hawaiian Electric to defer these costs.

Fourth Quarter Results:

Hawaiian Electric’s net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $44 million compared to net income of $46 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the decrease primarily driven by the following pre-tax items (among others):

• $7 million in higher interest expense;
• $1 million in higher O&M expenses; and
• $1 million in higher depreciation expense.

These items were partially offset by (among others):

• $5 million in higher revenues, primarily from the annual revenue adjustment mechanism; and
• $3 million in higher interest income.

Hawaiian Electric’s Core net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $46 million compared to $49 million in the same quarter last year. Pre-tax wildfire-related expenses of $9 million were partially offset by approximately $6 million of costs deferred pursuant to the Public Utilities Commission’s decision allowing Hawaiian Electric to defer these costs.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies’ net loss was $45 million in 2025 compared to $96 million in 2024. The lower net loss for the year was primarily due to expenses taken in 2024 related to strategic reviews, and lower Maui wildfire expenses. Core net loss for the year was $28 million compared to $56 million in 2024, primarily due to lower interest expense following the retirement of holding company debt with ASB sale proceeds, and higher interest income. The fourth quarter net loss was $5 million in 2025 compared to $17 million in 2024. Core net loss for the quarter was $4 million compared to $14 million in 2024.

Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures

HEI management uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies’ core operating activities. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP¹ earnings to non-GAAP Core earnings.

The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to Core earnings are limited to the costs related to the Maui wildfires and costs related to HEI’s ongoing review of strategic options for Pacific Current. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental Core earnings.
