HEI REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

•Utility Continues to Improve the Safety, Reliability and Resilience of Service to Our Communities Through Advancement of Wildfire Safety Strategy

•Legislation Signed Into Law by Governor Green Appropriates Funds for the State’s Contribution to the Maui Wildfire Tort Litigation Settlement, Directs the Public Utilities Commission to Establish an Aggregate Liability Cap for Economic Damages from Future Wildfires, Authorizes Securitization for Infrastructure Resilience Investments and Supports Reliable, Affordable Clean Energy Procurement

•Continued Progress Toward a Simpler, More Focused Business With Sale of Pacific Current’s Solar and Battery Storage Assets

◦Quarter’s Results Reflect $5 Million Earnings Impact from Asset Impairment and Tax Credit Recapture Related to Sale

HONOLULU - Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI) today reported net income for the second quarter of 2025 of $26 million, or $0.15 per share. Excluding Maui wildfire-related expenses and expenses taken in connection with the review of strategic options for Pacific Current, Core1 income from continuing operations was $35 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to $28 million, or $0.26 per share in 2024.

“Our core operations performed as expected in the second quarter, with the utility progressing measures to protect our communities against the risks posed by extreme weather events. We’ve also continued to make the changes necessary to move forward as a simpler,

Note: Throughout this release, per share values are calculated based on diluted shares.

1 Measures described as “Core” for the periods in this news release are non-GAAP measures which exclude Maui wildfire-related costs and expenses taken in connection with the strategic review of Pacific Current. See the “Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures” and the related GAAP reconciliation at the end of this release.

more focused company best positioned to serve our communities for the long term. This includes our sale of Pacific Current’s solar and battery storage assets and the expected divestiture of our remaining stake in American Savings Bank over the next year,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.

“Last month, Governor Josh Green signed legislation passed by the Hawaii State Legislature directing the Public Utilities Commission to establish a liability cap for future wildfires, and authorizing securitization to finance $500 million in wildfire safety improvements, helping customer affordability. Legislation to reduce risk to independent power producers and support the utility’s ability to procure reliable, affordable clean energy was also signed into law, along with legislation appropriating funds for the State of Hawaii’s contribution to the settlement, ensuring the settlement is able to move forward.”

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS

Hawaiian Electric’s net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $39 million compared to a net loss of $1,229 million in the second quarter of 2024, with the increase primarily driven by the following pre-tax items:

•The $1,712 million loss recorded in the second quarter of 2024 due to the accrual of estimated wildfire liabilities related to tort-related legal claims and cross claims as of June 30, 2024;

•$7 million in higher revenues, primarily from the annual revenue adjustment mechanism, but also including $1 million of demand response revenues (offset by expenses included in O&M); and

•$4 million impact from better heat rate performance.

These items were partially offset by the following:

•$11 million in higher O&M, driven by $7 million in higher wildfire mitigation program expenses, $4 million of higher legal and consulting costs (which were previously deferred), $2 million in higher property and general liability insurance costs and $1 million in higher demand response expenses (offset by demand response revenues). Higher O&M expenses were partially offset by the absence of costs related to the settlement of indemnification claims asserted by the state (recorded in 2024).

Hawaiian Electric’s Core net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $42 million compared to $44 million in the same quarter last year. Pre-tax wildfire-related expenses of $11 million were partially offset by $10 million of costs deferred pursuant to the Public Utilities Commission’s decision allowing Hawaiian Electric to defer these costs.

Utility Dividend Update

The Hawaiian Electric Board of Directors declared a $10 million cash dividend payable to HEI for the second quarter of 2025.

HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES

The holding and other companies’ net loss was $13 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $20 million in the second quarter of 2024. The lower net loss for the quarter was primarily due to lower wildfire expenses, partially offset by expenses taken in relation to the strategic review of Pacific Current. Excluding these expenses, Core net loss for the quarter was $7 million compared to $15 million in the second quarter of 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.
