Central Pacific Financial Reports Second Quarter Earnings of $14.5 Million

Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF) (the "Company"), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank" or "CPB"), today reported net income for the second quarter of 2023 of $14.5 million, or fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.53, compared to net income of $16.2 million, or EPS of $0.60 in the previous quarter and net income of $17.6 million, or EPS of $0.64 in the year-ago quarter.

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), or net income excluding provision for credit losses and income taxes, totaled $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to PPNR of $23.1 million in the previous quarter and $24.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Net income and PPNR in the year-ago quarter included an $8.5 million non-recurring gain on sale of Class B shares of Visa, partially offset by a $4.9 million non-recurring, non-cash settlement charge related to the termination and settlement of our defined benefit pension plan. Additional information on pre-provision net revenue is presented in Table 10.

"Central Pacific delivered solid results during the second quarter and further strengthened our balance sheet, liquidity and capital positions," said Arnold Martines, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We were successful in growing deposits by focusing on the needs of our long-time personal and business customers as well as attracting new relationships. We will continue our focus on building liquidity and ensuring strong credit quality while we navigate the current economic environment."

Earnings Highlights

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 was $52.7 million, which decreased by $1.5 million, or 2.7% from the previous quarter, and decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.5% from the year-ago quarter. The sequential quarter decrease in net interest income is primarily due to increases in average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, which outpaced the increases in average loan balances and loan yields.

Net interest margin ("NIM") for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.96%, which decreased by 12 basis points ("bps") from the previous quarter and decreased by 9 bps from the year-ago quarter. The sequential quarter decrease in NIM is primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits, which outpaced the increase in loan yields. Additional information on average balances, interest income and expenses and yields and rates is presented in Tables 4 and 5.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $4.3 million, compared to a provision of $1.9 million in the previous quarter and a provision of $1.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The provision in the second quarter consisted of a provision for credit losses on loans of $4.1 million and a provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $0.2 million.

Other operating income for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $10.4 million, compared to $11.0 million in the previous quarter and $17.1 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to lower income from fiduciary activities of $0.3 million and lower income recovered on nonaccrual loans previously charged-off of $0.2 million (included in other). Other operating income in the year-ago quarter included the aforementioned $8.5 million gain on the sale of Class B common stock of Visa. Additional information on other operating income is presented in Table 3.

Other operating expense for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $39.9 million, compared to $42.1 million in the previous quarter and $45.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in other operating expense was primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million and lower legal and professional services of $0.4 million. Other operating expense in the year-ago quarter included the aforementioned non-cash settlement charge of $4.9 million related to the termination and settlement of our defined benefit pension plan. Additional information on other operating expense is presented in Table 3.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 63.17%, compared to 64.58% in the previous quarter and 64.68% in the year-ago quarter.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 23.6%, compared to 23.8% in the previous quarter and 26.0% in the year-ago quarter.

Additional information on nonperforming assets, past due and restructured loans is presented in Table 8.

Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2023 totaled $3.4 million, compared to net charge-offs of $2.3 million in the previous quarter, and net charge-offs of $1.0 million in the year-ago quarter.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)	TABLE 10

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures in addition to our GAAP results. The Company believes non-GAAP financial measures may provide useful information for evaluating our cash operating performance, ability to service debt, compliance with debt covenants and measurement against competitors. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful as a tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations. The following tables set forth a reconciliation of our PPNR and our PPNR to average assets for each of the periods indicated:
