HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES INC

Note 1 · Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In the opinion of HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state consolidated HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s financial positions as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed below or in other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Since ASB was sold in December 2024, all ASB operating results are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows. Unless otherwise noted, reference within the following notes to condensed consolidated financial statements exclude discontinued operations. See further discussion of Sale of ASB in Note 3.

Recent accounting pronouncements.

Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. These amendments apply on a prospective basis with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Climate-related disclosures. In March 2024, the SEC issued final climate-related disclosure rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors (climate disclosure rules). The rules will require annual disclosure of material greenhouse gas emissions as well as disclosure of governance, risk management and strategy related to material climate-related risks. In addition, the rules require (i) financial statement impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions; (ii) a roll forward of carbon offset and renewable energy credit balances if material to the Company’s plan to achieve climate-related targets or goals; and (iii) material impacts on estimates and assumptions in the financial statements. The disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for annual periods beginning with calendar year 2025. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of its climate disclosure rules pending completion of judicial review by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of its new rules requiring disclosure of climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions. The Company is monitoring further SEC developments and final rulings with respect to the applicability of this final rule.

Reclassifications. Within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of prior year, wildfire tort-related claims amounts were reclassified from “Change in other assets and liabilities” to “Decrease in wildfire tort-related claims” for the Company and the Utilities, to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. Reclassifications did not affect previously reported net income, retained earnings or net cash provided by operating activities.

Note 2 ·Maui windstorm and wildfires

On August 8, 2023, a number of brush fires in the West Maui (Lahaina) and Upcountry Maui areas caused widespread property damage, including damage to property of the Utilities, and 102 confirmed fatalities in Lahaina (the Maui windstorm and wildfires). The Maui windstorm and wildfires were fueled by extreme winds and drought-like conditions in those parts of Maui.

Restoration costs and recoveries. The Utilities are continuing restoration work to rebuild portions of the electric system in Lahaina to ensure safe and reliable power to customers. Restoration efforts include the rebuilding of electrical lines along former routes in the Lahaina area with the installation of new interim steel and wood poles and electrical equipment. Ongoing work is focused on reestablishing electrical service to homes as they are being built.

On December 27, 2023, the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) issued an order authorizing deferred accounting treatment for the Utilities’ incremental non-labor expenses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The deferred accounting treatment applies to certain non-labor expenses incurred from August 8, 2023 through December 31, 2024 that are not already a part of the base rates. The approval pertains only to deferred cost treatment; any cost recovery of deferred costs will be the subject of a separate application(s). On November 27, 2024, the Utilities filed a request with the PUC to extend the deferral accounting period to December 31, 2025, specifically limited to insurance premiums and outside services and legal costs associated with the asset-based lending facility credit agreement (see Note 5). On February 12, 2025, the PUC issued an order granting the Utilities’ request to extend. As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities have deferred $58.3 million of certain incremental costs related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires to a regulatory asset.

The Utilities are actively seeking recovery of damage to covered electrical infrastructure under their property insurance programs. The Utilities have submitted claims to the insurance carriers and have recorded the insurance receivable of $8.6 million for amounts expected to be received as of March 31, 2025; however, the timing and amount of any future insurance recoveries remain indeterminable at this time and as such, any additional insurance receivable has not been recorded as of the date of this filing. The Company’s property insurance has a total policy limit of $500 million with a $1 million retention for damages related to Utility-owned non-generating assets, including overhead transmission and distribution assets within 1,000 feet of such assets. The Utilities believe capital expenditures related to restoration that are not covered by insurance will be managed under their current regulatory mechanisms, the recovery of which would be subject to PUC approval. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $490.4 million of insurance coverage remaining under the property insurance policy.

Third-party claims and other proceedings.

Tort-related legal claims. As of April 28, 2025, HEI and the Utilities have each been named in approximately 797 lawsuits related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. These civil and putative class action lawsuits are pending in the Maui Circuit Court against HEI, the Utilities, and other defendants, including the County of Maui, the State of Hawaii and related state entities, private landowners and developers, and telecommunications companies (collectively, tort-related legal claims). One putative class action is also pending in federal court. Most of these lawsuits allege that the defendants were responsible for, and/or negligent in failing to prevent or respond to the wildfires that led to the property destruction and loss of life. Other claims include, among other things, personal injury, wrongful death, emotional distress and inverse condemnation. One lawsuit asserting similar theories and claims was filed by the County of Maui against HEI and the Utilities, one lawsuit was filed by Spectrum Oceanic, LLC against HEI and the Utilities and other defendants, and other lawsuits were filed by approximately 160 subrogation insurers against HEI, the Utilities, a private landowner, and telecommunications companies. Additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company and other defendants in the future. The plaintiffs seek to recover damages and other costs, including punitive damages. Defendants have asserted cross-claims against one another for indemnification, contribution, and subrogation.

The County of Maui Origin and Cause Report, released on October 2, 2024, attaching the investigative report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, estimated the total economic damage of approximately $6 billion. That estimate has not been validated by the Company, and it represents a gross number that does not take into account causation or liability and does not attempt to allocate responsibility among the various defendants. As such, the estimate is not intended to provide a reasonably possible loss in excess of the recorded amount under ASC Topic 450-20, “Loss Contingencies” attributable to the Company arising from the Maui windstorm and wildfires.

On November 8, 2023, Hawaii Governor Josh Green announced the One ‘Ohana Initiative (the One ‘Ohana Initiative) as a collective path forward to recovery from the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The One ‘Ohana Initiative is a new humanitarian aid fund of $175 million, with the objective to compensate, in an expedited manner, those who have lost loved ones and those who have suffered severe injuries in the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The One ‘Ohana Initiative provides an alternative to a lengthy and expensive legal process. Beneficiaries who have lost loved ones are anticipated to receive payments of $1.5 million per decedent, and those who suffered severe injuries are expected to share in a specially allocated pool of compensation. In exchange for receiving such a payment, beneficiaries will be required to waive their ability to pursue legal claims for wrongful death and severe injuries, except if they seek compensation through the litigation settlement. Hawaiian Electric fully supports this humanitarian initiative and has contributed $75 million. The Governor announced that other parties, including the State of Hawaii, the County of Maui, and Kamehameha Schools have all agreed to contribute to the fund. Hawaiian Electric’s contribution to the Initiative was less than half of the total, and Hawaiian Electric's insurance carriers funded its share of the contributions to the fund. Hawaiian Electric’s contribution is reflective of its commitment to join with community partners to provide solutions to promote Maui’s recovery. Hawaiian Electric’s commitment to contribute to the One ‘Ohana Initiative is not an admission of guilt or reflection of fault or liability related to the wildfires. Under the One ‘Ohana Initiative, all claimants (except families of missing persons) were required to submit a completed registration form and registrants who meet the Fund’s eligibility requirements then were required to complete and submit a claim form. As of October 25, 2024,36 claim forms were received that relate to death claims and 12 claim forms were received that relate to physical injury claims. The One ‘Ohana Initiative will retain its separate existence and claimants eligible will be required to apply to the One ‘Ohana Initiative before obtaining benefits from the litigation settlement.

Effective November 1, 2024, HEI and Hawaiian Electric entered intotwo definitive settlement agreements (collectively, the Settlement Agreements) to settle the tort-related legal claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires (expressly excluding securities and derivative actions) on a global basis without any admission of liability. Under the Settlement Agreements, subject to certain conditions (including those described below), HEI and Hawaiian Electric, along with other defendants (the State of Hawaii, the County of Maui, Kamehameha Schools, entities affiliated with the West Maui Land Co., Hawaiian Telcom, and Spectrum/Charter Communications) have agreed to settle the claims of those who filed lawsuits in state and federal courts, or who may have claims but have not yet filed lawsuits, in connection with the Maui windstorm and wildfires. One Settlement Agreement is between the defendants, class counsel, and class plaintiffs (the Class Settlement Agreement), and the other is between the defendants and over 30 lawyers representing numerous individual plaintiffs who have brought their own lawsuits (the Individual Settlement Agreement). The Settlement Agreements do not resolve claims with insurers who have asserted or could assert subrogation claims in separate lawsuits and such insurers are not parties to the Settlement Agreements, but resolving such claims in the manner set forth in the Settlement Agreements (described below) is a condition that must be satisfied before any payment is due from the defendants. Both Settlement Agreements remain subject to court approval and other conditions, including those set out below.

Under the Settlement Agreements, HEI and Hawaiian Electric are obligated to contribute a total of $1.99 billion (out of a total defendant contribution of approximately $4.04 billion), which includes $75 million previously contributed for the One ‘Ohana Initiative, (a humanitarian aid fund to provide payments outside of litigation to the beneficiaries of those who died, as well as compensation for personal injury damages). The total settlement amount is to be divided between two settlement funds, one for the benefit of individual plaintiffs, and the other for the benefit of the class plaintiffs. HEI and Hawaiian Electric must pay such amounts infour equal annual installments of approximately $479 million, with the first installment expected to be made in early 2026. HEI and Hawaiian Electric have the option to accelerate the payments, in whole or in part, with such accelerated payments to be discounted at a rate of 5.5% per annum. HEI transferred the amount of the first payment, $479 million, into a new subsidiary, GLST1, which is restricted from disbursing such funds except in connection with the initial payment to the settlement funds. Additionally, under the Settlement Agreements, HEI and Hawaiian Electric are obligated to contribute a share to the settlement administration fees only if certain other sources are exhausted when those fees are due, for which, $3.5 million was accrued as of March 31, 2025 based on the best estimate at that time.

The Settlement Agreements are intended to resolve all of the tort-related legal claims related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The Class Settlement Agreement provides releases by plaintiffs to the defendants, and among defendants, for acts and omissions relating to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The Individual Settlement Agreement provides that individual plaintiffs who elect to accept the settlement will sign releases. The releases in the Settlement Agreements, including those among defendants (subject to certain conditions), are effective on the initial payment due date. The Settlement Agreements also provide that $500 million of the total settlement payments will be reserved and made available to defendants to defray the cost to resolve any claims brought by plaintiffs who do not release claims as part of the settlements. Defendants have the right to terminate the Settlement Agreements under certain circumstances, including if more than specified thresholds of plaintiffs choose not to participate in the settlement.

The Settlement Agreements contain multiple conditions that must be met before any payment from HEI and Hawaiian Electric to the settlement funds are due. Those conditions include, among others, resolving claims of the insurers (either through agreement or a final court order stating that the insurers cannot maintain independent lawsuits against the defendants), legislation appropriating money from the state, and court approval of the Settlement Agreements.

The Settlement Agreements do not resolve claims with insurers who have asserted subrogation claims in separate lawsuits, and such insurers are not parties to the Settlement Agreements. However, the Settlement Agreements provide that all subrogation claims by insurers that have been or could be brought against defendants arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires must be resolved in order for HEI and Hawaiian Electric’s payment obligation to arise. The Settlement Agreements include a condition to the defendants’ obligations providing that by May 19, 2025, either (a) insurers that have brought claims arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires enter into a written agreement that provides for releases of all claims against the defendants, or (b) that there is a final and unappealable court order providing that if the final definitive agreement between the plaintiffs and the defendants becomes effective, then those same insurers’ exclusive remedy for any claims against the defendants would be limited to asserting liens against the settlement amounts obtained by the individual plaintiffs. On February 6, 2025, after briefing was complete, the Supreme Court of Hawaii heard argument on three reserved questions regarding the scope of Hawaii subrogation law concerning the condition described in this paragraph in the manner described in (b) above. On February 10, 2025, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued an order regarding the reserved questions providing that, once the settlement becomes final, the exclusive remedy for insurers seeking to recover amounts paid to settling plaintiffs is to assert liens against their policyholders pursuant to HRS 663-10. On March 17, 2025, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a written opinion consistent with its February 10, 2025 order.

HEI and Hawaiian Electric determined that making payments under the terms of the Settlement Agreements infour equal annual installments is the most viable option and have classified the first $479 million installment as a current liability based on expected timing of the payment and the remaining $1.44 billion as a noncurrent liability on HEI’s and the Utilities’ Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The Settlement Agreements contain no admission of any liability by HEI or the Utilities and reflect the collective efforts of the State, HEI and the Utilities, and other defendants to seek a comprehensive resolution of the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The Utilities have recorded an additional $40 million in “Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net” and “Other accounts receivable, net” on HEI’s and the Utilities’ Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, based on the amounts expected to be remaining under the applicable insurance policies at the time of settlement payment.

As part of the agreement in principle preceding the Settlement Agreements, the parties agreed to vacate all trial dates and stay the litigation, except for (i) litigation activities between the plaintiffs (individual and class) and the subrogation insurers and (ii) actions taken to further settlement. A stay remains in place and no trial dates are set in the Special Proceeding and in the subrogation actions.

On March 24, 2025, the plaintiffs in the state court class action filed a motion for preliminary approval of the class settlement, which is set for hearing on May 28, 2025. On April 8, 2025, the subrogation plaintiffs moved to intervene into the state court class action for the purpose of objecting to preliminary approval of the state court class action.

On April 7, 2025, the federal court overseeing a putative class action stayed that class action in light of the pending settlement of the state court class action.

On April 16, 2025, the state court overseeing the settlement with the individual plaintiffs orally granted the individual plaintiffs’ motion to approve the administrator to oversee the individual plaintiff settlement fund.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation if a definitive settlement is ultimately not achieved. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any potential settlements, judgments, or costs associated with the litigation. If additional liabilities were to be incurred, the loss could be material to the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows and could result in violations of the financial covenants in the Company’s debt agreements. If any such losses were to be sufficiently high, the Company may not have liquidity or the ability to access liquidity at levels necessary to satisfy such losses. However, any possible loss in excess of the amount recorded cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

Securities class action and shareholder lawsuits. On August 24, 2023, a putative securities class action captioned Bhangal v. Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., et al., No.: 3:23-cv-04332-JSC (the Securities Action) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against HEI and certain of its current and former officers (collectively, Defendants), and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against certain of HEI’s current and former officers. Plaintiff broadly alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding HEI’s wildfire prevention and safety protocols and related matters. Plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages. On December 7, 2023, the court appointed Daniel Warren as lead plaintiff and Pomerantz LLP as lead plaintiff’s counsel. On March 8, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On October 15, 2024, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint, with leave to amend. On November 12, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. An unsuccessful mediation was held on January 22, 2025. On March 18, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any potential settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the action. The Company does not believe that a loss is probable and any possible loss or range of loss is not reasonably estimable.

Two putative shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaii on September 11, 2023 and on November 6, 2024, including:

Rice v. Connors, et al., No. 1CCV-23-0001181 and Hamilton v. Lau, et al., No. 1CCV-24-0001595 (the “Hamilton Action”). On December 6, 2023, the Rice Action was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii and captioned Rice v. Connors, et al., No. 1:23-cv-00577-JAO-BMK. On March 14, 2024, the United States District Court remanded the case to the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaii. On March 5, 2025, upon stipulation by the parties, the court consolidated the Rice Action and the Hamilton Action under the caption In re Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc. and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. State Court Derivative Litigation, No. 1CCV-23-0001181 (the “Hawaii State Action”). On April 9, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. The Hawaii State Action is purportedly brought by shareholders on behalf of nominal defendants HEI and Hawaiian Electric against certain current and former officers and directors of HEI and

Hawaiian Electric. Plaintiffs assert Hawaii state law breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims allegedly arising in connection with the Maui windstorm and wildfires that occurred in August 2023 and certain of the Company’s prior public disclosures. Plaintiffs seek, on behalf of HEI and Hawaiian Electric, compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, disgorgement, and equitable relief in the form of changes to corporate governance, policies and culture. HEI has moved to stay the proceeding pending resolution of the tort-related legal claims and the Securities Action. A hearing on the motion to stay is set for June 6, 2025. While the Company has obligations to indemnify and/or advance the defendants’ legal fees and costs in connection with this lawsuit, any monetary recovery in the derivative litigation should accrue to the Company. An unsuccessful mediation was held on January 22, 2025. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome and is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from any unfavorable outcome.

Three putative shareholder derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California between December 26, 2023 and February 8, 2024, including:

Kallaus v. Johns, et al., No. 3:23-cv-06627 (the Kallaus Action), Cole v. Johns, et al., No. 3:24-cv-00598 (the Cole Action), and Tai v. Seu, et al., No. 3:24-cv-01198 (the Tai Action). On March 19, 2024, upon stipulation by the parties, the court consolidated the Kallaus Action, the Cole Action, and the Tai Action under the caption In Re Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. Derivative Litigation, No. 3:23-cv-06627 (the Consolidated Derivative Actions). On June 19, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The Consolidated Derivative Actions are purportedly brought by shareholders of HEI on behalf of nominal defendants HEI and Hawaiian Electric against certain current and former officers and directors of HEI and Hawaiian Electric. Plaintiffs purport to assert both Hawaii state law and federal securities law claims. Plaintiffs assert state law breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, and abuse of control claims purportedly arising in connection with the Maui windstorm and wildfires that occurred in August 2023 and certain public disclosures. Plaintiffs also assert claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and generally allege that the Company and certain of its current and former officers made materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company’s wildfire prevention and safety protocols and related matters. Plaintiffs seek, on behalf of HEI and Hawaiian Electric, unspecified monetary and punitive damages, disgorgement, and other relief. HEI moved to stay the Consolidated Derivative Actions pending resolution of the tort-related legal claims and the Securities Action, and also moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint for failing to adequately allege that the Board’s refusal of the plaintiffs’ demands was wrongful. Hawaii state court plaintiff Christina Rice (see above) filed a motion to intervene in this action for the limited purpose of seeking dismissal, or alternatively a stay, of this action in favor of the Hawaii state court derivative action she filed. Hawaii federal court plaintiffs George Assad and Robert Faris (see below) also filed a motion to intervene in this action for the limited purpose of seeking dismissal, or alternatively a stay, of this action in favor of a separate Hawaii federal court derivative action they filed. The court deferred the hearing on the Company’s motions to stay and dismiss, Rice’s motion to intervene, and Assad’s and Faris’s motion to intervene pending a mediation on January 22, 2025, which was unsuccessful. On January 30, 2025, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ request to voluntarily dismiss the case so that they could refile the action in Hawaii. As a result, the Court did not rule on the Company’s pending motion to dismiss or motion to stay. While the Company has certain obligations to indemnify and/or advance the defendants’ legal fees and costs in connection with this lawsuit, any monetary recovery in the Consolidated Derivative Actions should accrue to the Company. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome and is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from any unfavorable outcome.

Two putative shareholder derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii between April 8, 2024 and June 8, 2024, including:

Assad v. Seu, et al., No. 1:24-cv-00164 (the Assad Action), and Faris v. Seu, et al., No. 1:24-cv-00247 (the Faris Action). On July 3, 2024, upon stipulation by the parties, the court consolidated the Assad Action and Faris Action under the caption In Re Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., Stockholder Derivative Litigation, No. 1:24-cv-00164 (the Hawaii Federal Derivative Actions). Both actions are purportedly brought by shareholders on behalf of nominal defendant HEI and against certain current and former officers and directors of HEI and Hawaiian Electric. Plaintiffs purport to assert Hawaii state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and unjust enrichment allegedly arising in connection with the Maui windstorm and wildfires that occurred in August 2023 and certain public disclosures. Plaintiffs generally allege that the Company and certain of its current and former officers made materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company’s wildfire prevention and safety protocols and related matters. Plaintiffs seek, on behalf of HEI, compensatory damages, restitution, disgorgement, injunctive relief, and equitable relief, including in the form of changes to HEI’s corporate governance policies and procedures. On July 30, 2024, upon HEI’s motion, the court stayed the Hawaii Federal Derivative Actions pending resolution of the motion to dismiss the Securities Action and the motions to stay and dismiss the Consolidated Derivative Actions. On March 10, 2025, HEI moved to extend the stay of the Hawaii Federal Action until resolution of HEI’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint in the Securities Action. On April 30, 2025, the court granted HEI’s motion to extend the stay. While the Company has obligations to indemnify and/or advance the defendants’ legal fees and costs in connection with this lawsuit, any monetary recovery in the derivative litigation should accrue to the Company. A mediation was held on January 22, 2025. The parties did not reach a settlement on that date. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome and is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from any unfavorable outcome.

Maui windstorm and wildfires costs. Legal costs in connection with the litigation and loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company has $165 million of excess liability insurance and $25 million of miscellaneous professional liability insurance for third party claims, including claims related to wildfires, with a retention of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and $145 million directors and officers liability insurance to cover claims related to the shareholder and derivative lawsuits, with a retention of $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s and Utilities’ insurance receivable totaled $59 million and $54 million, respectively, under the policies. As of March 31, 2025, HEI and its subsidiaries have approximately $12 million, nil and $117 million of insurance coverage remaining under the excess liability, miscellaneous professional liability and directors and officers liability policies, respectively, after deducting applicable retention amounts, amounts that have been recovered under insurance policies (including the One ‘Ohana Initiative contribution), and amounts expected to be recovered for incurred costs and recognized as a receivable.

See table below for the incremental expenses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires.

1 Related to the PUC’s order, received on December 27, 2023, approving deferred accounting treatment for the Utilities’ incremental non-labor expenses related to the August 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires incurred through December 31, 2024. Pursuant to the PUC order received on February 12, 2025, deferral accounting treatment limited to insurance premiums and outside services and legal costs associated with the asset-based lending facility credit agreement incurred in 2025 was granted. Applicable amounts were reclassified to a regulatory asset.

2 Excludes income related to discontinued operations amounting to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

On May 4, 2024, HEI and the Utilities reached an agreement to settle indemnification claims asserted by the State of Hawaii without any admission of fault or responsibility. Under the terms of the agreement, HEI and the Utilities agreed to contribute up to $18.4 million through the end of 2024 related to the costs of the professional advisors engaged by the State of Hawaii to advise on a variety of matters related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, a total of $6.7 million of such costs were accrued and reflected in Maui windstorm and wildfires related expenses-Other expense in the table above.

Note 3 ·Segment financial information

Reportable segments are strategic business units of the Company that offer different products and services and operate in different regulatory environments. Prior to December 31, 2024, the Company operated and reported ontwo reportable segments: Electric utility and bank. On December 31, 2024, the Company sold 90.1% of ASB (previously, the bank reportable segment) and presented its results as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the bank reportable segment has been eliminated and the segment information presented herein excludes the results of ASB for all periods presented. All comparable information for the historical periods has been recast to reflect the impact of these changes. The Company now operates and reports onone reportable segment: Electric utility. HEI and its other subsidiaries (ASB Hawaii, GLST1, and Pacific Current and its subsidiaries) which are not reportable segments are grouped and reported as an “All Other” non-reportable segment.

Sales from Hamakua Energy, LLC (Hamakua Energy) to Hawaii Electric Light (a regulated affiliate), up until the close of its sale on March 10, 2025, are eliminated in consolidation.

Sale of ASB. As a result of a comprehensive review of strategic options of ASB, on December 30, 2024, HEI, ASB, and ASB Hawaii, a wholly owned subsidiary of HEI and ASB’s parent holding company, entered into investment agreements to sell 90.1% of the common stock of ASB, amounting to $405.5 million, to various investors including certain ASB officers and directors of ASB, while retaining a 9.9% noncontrolling investment in ASB amounting to $44.6 million. The sale transaction closed on December 31, 2024 and no investor acquired more than 9.9% of the common stock of ASB. The proceeds from the sale was used to pay down HEI’s long-term debt in April 2025 (see “changes in long-term debt” in Note 5). The Company’s 9.9% noncontrolling ownership interest in ASB is included in “Other noncurrent assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The sale of ASB met the accounting requirements to be disclosed as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of ASB are presented as discontinued operations in the 2024 consolidated statements of income and cash flows, and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the 2024 period presented.

The following table summarizes the income from discontinued operations included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Sale of Hamakua Holdings, LLC. As part of HEI’s comprehensive review of strategic options for certain assets of Pacific Current, on February 7, 2025, Pacific Current entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell all the membership interests in Hamakua Holdings, LLC (Hamakua Holdings), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Current, to an unaffiliated third party for cash consideration to be determined under the provisions of the agreement. Hamakua Holdings hastwo wholly owned subsidiaries: Hamakua Energy, which owned a 60-MW combined cycle power plant that sells power to Hawaii Electric Light under an existing power purchase agreement, and HAESP, LLC (created in connection with the current on-going Stage 3 RFP process). The sale transaction closed on March 10, 2025 and as a result, both Hamakua Energy and HAESP, LLC, as wholly owned subsidiaries of Hamakua Holdings, are no longer owned by Pacific Current as of such closing. The Company recorded a loss on the sale amounting to $13.2 million as of March 31, 2025.

GLST1. Effective March 31, 2025,60% of the membership interests of GLST1 was assigned to Hawaiian Electric by HEI. The Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in GLST1 but concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of GLST1. As a result, the Utilities accounted for the membership interests under the equity method of accounting as the Utilities have the ability to exercise significant influence. As of March 31, 2025, the assigned equity interests total $287.3 million, which is reported on “Investment in unconsolidated affiliate” on the Utilities’ Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 4 · Electric utility segment

Consolidated variable interest entities. The HE AR INTER LLC and its direct subsidiary, HE AR BRWR LLC, (collectively, the SPEs) are bankruptcy remote, direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Utilities. Pursuant to the asset-based lending facility (ABL Facility) credit agreement, the Utilities sells certain accounts receivable to the SPEs as collateral, which in turn, obtain financing from financial institutions. As of March 31, 2025, the ABL Facility remains undrawn and the SPEs have $324.6 million of net accounts receivable, included in “Customer accounts receivable, net”, and “Accrued unbilled revenues, net”, on the Utilities’ Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and “Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net”, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The SPEs are considered VIEs due to insufficient equity investment at risk. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of the SPEs are cash and financing management. The Utilities are considered the primary beneficiary as the Utilities direct the activities related to cash and financing management and therefore, are required to consolidate the SPEs. Although the SPEs are direct and indirect wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries of the Utilities, the SPEs are legally separate from the Utilities. The assets of the SPEs (which are primarily accounts receivables) are not available to creditors of the Utilities.

Unconsolidated variable interest entities.

Power purchase agreements. As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities hadfour power purchase agreements (PPAs) for firm capacity and other PPAs with independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or power production facilities who buy power from or sell power to the Utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs.

Pursuant to the current accounting standards for VIEs, the Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa) and Hamakua Energy by reason of the provisions of the PPA that the Utilities have with thetwo IPPs. However, management has concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of Kalaeloa and Hamakua Energy because the Utilities do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact thetwo IPPs’ economic performance nor the obligation to absorb their expected losses, if any, that could potentially be significant to the IPPs. Thus, the Utilities have not consolidated Kalaeloa and Hamakua Energy in its condensed consolidated financial statements. On March 10, 2025, the sale of Hamakua Energy was closed and is no longer owned by Pacific Current. Hamakua Energy was an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current and was included in HEI’s condensed consolidated financial statements up until sale date.

For the other PPAs with IPPs, the Utilities have concluded that the consolidation of the IPPs was not required because either the Utilities do not have variable interests in the IPPs due to the absence of an obligation in the PPAs for the Utilities to absorb any variability of the IPPs, or the IPP was considered a “governmental organization,” and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and, if such a consolidated IPP were operating at a loss and had insufficient equity, the potential recognition of such losses. If the Utilities determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, the Utilities would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs to the IPP.

GLST1. Effective March 31, 2025, a portion of membership interests of GLST1 was assigned to Hawaiian Electric by HEI through a capital contribution. The Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in GLST1 but concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of GLST1. As a result, the Utilities accounted for the membership interests under the equity method of accounting as the Utilities have the ability to exercise significant influence. As of March 31, 2025, the equity interests total $287.3 million, which is reported on “Investment in unconsolidated affiliate” on the Utilities’ Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Commitments and contingencies.

Contingencies. The Utilities are subject in the normal course of business to legal, regulatory and environmental proceedings. Excluding the potential liabilities from the Maui windstorm and wildfires, management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, the Utilities cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future. The Utilities record loss contingencies when the outcome of such proceedings is probable and when the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Utilities also evaluate, on a continuous basis, whether developments in such proceedings could cause these assessments or estimates to change. Assessment regarding future events is required when evaluating whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable. Management is often unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss, or a range of loss, particularly in cases in which: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate or the basis for the damages claimed is not clear; (ii)

proceedings are in early stages; (iii) discovery is not complete; (iv) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories; (v) significant facts are in dispute; (vi) a large number of parties are represented (including circumstances in which it is uncertain how liability, if any, would be shared among multiple defendants); (vii) a lower court or administrative agency’s decision or ruling has been appealed; and/or (viii) a wide range of potential outcomes exist. In such cases, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution, including any possible loss, fine, penalty, or business impact.

August 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires. See Note 2.

Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC (Hu Honua). In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA, which the PUC approved in December 2013, with Hu Honua for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii, scheduled to be in service in 2016. However, Hu Honua encountered construction and litigation delays, which resulted in the termination of the original PPA. Following the termination, Hu Honua filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii. The parties reached a settlement that was conditioned on the PUC’s timely, non-appealable final approval of an amended and restated PPA dated May 9, 2017. On May 23, 2022, following a contested case hearing, the PUC issued a decision and order denying the amended and restated PPA, which was affirmed by the Hawaii Supreme Court on March 13, 2023. On November 16, 2023, Hu Honua filed its Motion for Leave to File Third Amended and Supplemental Complaint and for Permissive Joinder with the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii, asking the court to grant it leave to file a Third Amended and Supplemental Complaint, which would amend its claims and addthree new proposed defendants. The court issued a decision and order on the motion on April 2, 2024, which was consistent with Hawaii Electric Light's position, only allowing amendments that were agreed to and not allowing Hu Honua to add new claims or parties, effectively leaving Hu Honua with its previously-pled breach of contract and antitrust claims. Hu Honua filed its objection to the order on April 16, 2024 and the Hawaiian Electric defendants filed their response to the objection on April 30, 2024. On September 12, 2024, the court issued its decision affirming the April 2, 2024 order. Hu Honua filed its Third Amended and Supplemental Complaint on October 25, 2024, and after discussion with the Hawaiian Electric defendants and the court, filed its Amended Third Amended and Supplemental Complaint on December 3, 2024. The Hawaiian Electric defendants filed their Motion to Compel Arbitration on the contract claims and Motion to Dismiss the antitrust claims on January 7, 2025, and the matter was heard by the U.S. District Court on March 31, 2025. On April 17, 2025, the U.S. District Court granted the Company’s Motion to Dismiss in part, dismissing the Federal Antitrust claims, but declining to exercise jurisdiction over the State antitrust claim. With the U.S. District Court declining to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining State claims, the Motion to Compel Arbitration on the contract claims was denied as moot. The remaining State claims, including the contract claims and the State antitrust claim, were dismissed without prejudice, and it is expected that Hu Honua will refile these claims in State court. It is also expected that Hu Honua will appeal the dismissal of the Federal antitrust claims in Federal court.

Molokai New Energy Partners (MNEP). In July 2018, the PUC approved Maui Electric’s PPA with MNEP to purchase solar energy from a photovoltaic (PV) plus battery storage project. The 4.88 MW PV and 3 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project was to deliver no more than 2.64 MW at any time to the Molokai system. On March 25, 2020, MNEP filed a complaint in the United Stated District Court for the District of Hawaii against Maui Electric claiming breach of contract. On June 3, 2020, Maui Electric provided a Notice of Default and Termination of the PPA to MNEP terminating the PPA with an effective date of July 10, 2020. Thereafter, MNEP filed an amended complaint to include claims relating to the termination and Hawaiian Electric filed its answer to the amended complaint on September 11, 2020, disputing the facts presented by MNEP and all claims within the original and amended complaint. Currently, the discovery phase is ongoing.

Environmental regulation. The Utilities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances.

Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, periodically encounter petroleum or other chemical releases associated with current or previous operations. The Utilities report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. The Utilities believe the costs of responding to such releases identified to date will not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Former Molokai Electric Company generation site. In 1989, Maui Electric acquired Molokai Electric Company. Molokai Electric Company had sold its former generation site (Site) in 1983 but continued to operate at the Site under a lease until 1985 and left the property in 1987. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since identified environmental impacts in the subsurface soil at the Site. In cooperation with the State of Hawaii Department of Health and EPA, Maui Electric further investigated the Site and the adjacent parcel to determine the extent of impacts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), residual fuel oils and other subsurface contaminants. Maui Electric has a reserve balance of $2.4 million as of March 31, 2025, representing the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for remediation of the Site and the adjacent parcel based on presently available information; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the cleanup approach implemented.

Pearl Harbor sediment study. In July 2014, the U.S. Navy notified Hawaiian Electric of the Navy’s determination that Hawaiian Electric is a Potentially Responsible Party under CERCLA responsible for the costs of investigation and cleanup of PCB contamination in sediment in the area offshore of the Waiau Power Plant as part of the Pearl Harbor Superfund Site. Hawaiian Electric was also required by the EPA to assess potential sources and extent of PCB contamination onshore at Waiau Power Plant.

As of March 31, 2025, thereserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $9.5 million. The reserve balance represents the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for the onshore and offshore investigation and remediation. The final remediation costs will depend on the actual onshore and offshore cleanup costs.

Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Utilities received a 60-day Notice under the federal Endangered Species Act, from Earthjustice on behalf of the American Bird Conservancy and Conservation Council for Hawaii (Conservation Groups) in January 2024. The 60-day Notice (Notice) is the pre-cursor to a citizen’s suit under the Endangered Species Act. The Notice alleges that the Utilities are out of compliance with the Act due to alleged impacts on endangered seabirds caused by the Utilities’ powerlines, street lights and facility lights on Maui and Lanai. At the time the Notice was served, the Utilities were already in the process of drafting a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) with respect to the powerlines and will be applying for associated state and federal take/license permits. Notwithstanding, the Notice asserts that the scope of the HCP should be broader and additional interim measures are necessary while the HCP and related permits are pending.

After negotiations among the parties a complaint was filed on November 12, 2024, regarding the powerlines and on December 11, 2024, the Court approved a settlement agreement. Pursuant to that agreement, the Utilities will continue the HCP process and take specific actions to minimize and mitigate the potential impact of the Utilities’ powerlines while the document is being prepared. The agreement also contains additional requirements that include coordination with the Conservation Groups with various aspects of the HCP and powerline operations, and continuing the Utilities’ commitment to a species mitigation project with University of Hawaii Foundation to monitor, protect and increase the population of Hawaiian Petrels.

The street and facility lights aspect of the Notice was not resolved and a second complaint was filed on November 19, 2024 that includes the County of Maui as a party. Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electric answered the Complaint on December 12, 2024 and at this time, the parties are engaging in discovery and settlement discussions to try and resolve the matter. The Utilities are unable to determine the ultimate outcome or the amount of any possible loss.

Commitments.

Purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2024, the Utilities’ estimated future minimum payments pursuant to purchase obligations related to material contracts of $2.2 billion. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the 2024 Form 10-K.

On March 25, 2025, Hale Kuawehi located on Hawaii Island, reached commercial operations, which has a capacity of 30 MW with 120 MWh batteries, and a total annual payment of $11.9 million. The battery portion of the PPA was recorded as a finance lease liability with corresponding right-of-use asset of $42.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2025, a total ofeight Stage 1 and Stage 2 renewable projects provide the Utilities of 249.5 MW, with 1,563 MWh batteries.

Purchases from all IPPs were as follows:

1 Includes hydro power and other PPAs.

Utility projects. Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits or community support can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if PUC-imposed caps on project costs are expected to be exceeded, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.

Waena Battery Energy Storage System Project. In September 2020, Maui Electric filed a PUC application to purchase and install a 40 MW BESS at its Waena Site in Central Maui. In December 2023, the PUC approved Maui Electric’s request to commit funds estimated at $82.1 million, for the purchase and installation of the project, and to recover costs for the project under Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM). Project costs incurred as of March 31, 2025 amount to $8.8 million.

Climate Adaptation Transmission and Distribution Resilience Program. The Utilities maintain that improving resiliency of the electric grid is an urgent matter and recognizes that climate change is making Hawaii increasingly vulnerable to severe weather events. On January 31, 2024, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to commit an estimated $189.7 million in funds for the Climate Adaptation Transmission and Distribution Resilience Program, over a project period offive years. The project will focus on, among other things, system hardening in wildfire risk areas including installing video camera and weather monitors in wildfire risk areas and strengthening transmission lines to help prevent ignition enable quicker response and to add situational awareness.

The project costs to be recovered through EPRM is subject to a cap of $95 million and any amount in excess will be subject to the PUC’s further review. On August 7, 2024, the Utilities received a notification from the U.S. Department of Energy that its application for $95 million in federal funds under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)was officially awarded. On August 20, 2024, the Utilities submitted a copy of their executed agreement with the Department of Energy to the PUC. On November 18, 2024, the Utilities filed their August 2024 - August 2025 Forward Looking Annual Report. Project costs incurred as of March 31, 2025 amount to $17.1 million.

In January 2025, President Trump issued multiple Executive Orders that impact both IIJA and IRA funding. Executive Order 14154 entitled Unleashing American Energy ordered to immediately pause disbursement of funds appropriated through IIJA and IRA grants, which may potentially lead to project delays and economic uncertainty. The Executive Orders entitled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing resulted in the federal contracting officer ordering recipients to cease all diversity, equity and inclusion and community benefits plan activities funded by federal grants as of January 28, 2025, which could potentially impact the Utilities’ existing community benefits agreements with some third parties and commitments included in the Resilience Program project costs. The Utilities are still evaluating the potential impact as a result of the two Executive Orders mentioned above and continue to monitor for impacts of any new Executive Orders.

Regulatory proceedings.

Decoupling. Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to provide the Utilities with financial stability and facilitate meeting the State of Hawaii’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. Decoupling delinks the utility’s revenues from the utility’s sales, removing the disincentive to promote energy efficiency and accept more renewable energy. Decoupling continues under the PBR Framework.

Performance-based regulation framework. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a decision and order (PBR D&O) establishing the PBR Framework to govern the Utilities. The PBR Framework incorporates an annual revenue adjustment (ARA) and a suite of new regulatory mechanisms in addition to previously established regulatory mechanisms. Under the PBR Framework, the decoupling mechanism (i.e., the Revenue Balancing Account (RBA)) established by the previous regulatory framework will continue. The existing cost recovery mechanisms continued as previously implemented (e.g., the Energy Cost Recovery Clause, Purchased Power Adjustment Clause (PPAC), Demand-Side Management surcharge, Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program, Demand Response Adjustment Clause, Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) tracking mechanisms). In addition to annual revenues provided by the ARA, the Utilities may seek relief for extraordinary projects or programs through the Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) (formerly known as the Major Project Interim Recovery adjustment mechanism) and earn financial rewards for exemplary performance as provided through a portfolio of Performance Incentive Mechanisms (PIMs) and Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs). The PBR Framework incorporates a variety of additional performance mechanisms, including Scorecards, Reported Metrics, and an expedited Pilot Process. The PBR Framework also contains a number of safeguards, including a symmetric Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM) which protects the Utilities and customers from excessive earnings or losses, as measured by the Utilities’ achieved rate-making ROACE and a Re-Opener mechanism, under which the PUC will open an examination, at its discretion, to determine if adjustments or modifications to specific PBR mechanisms are appropriate. The PBR Framework became fully effective on June 1, 2021. Changes to the existing PIMs and SSMs have been made as separate requests and are discussed further below.

On June 19, 2024, and July 30, 2024, the PUC issued orders providing guidance regarding the comprehensive evaluation of the PBR Framework that will commence in the fourth year of the PBR Framework’s first MRP (PBR Framework Review). The current PBR multiyear rate plan (MRP) will end on May 31, 2026 and the next MRP (MRP2) will commence on January 1, 2027. The period in between these dates will be used to address any implementation details that may arise ahead of MRP2. The PBR Framework Review will proceed in three phases: (i) the evaluation of the current PBR Framework, (ii) the examination of proposal for modifications to the PBR Framework, and (iii) the implementation of modifications prior to commencing the second MRP. At the PBR Working Group meetings held on August 30, 2024 and October 25, 2024, the Working Group discussed issues and considerations regarding re-basing target revenues for MRP2.

On November 8, 2024, the PUC issued an order establishing a briefing schedule for determining whether to re-base target revenues. On December 5, 2024, the parties timely submitted their respective briefs addressing the issues of whether and how to rebase target revenues.

In its order issued on February 27, 2025, the PUC concluded that Utilities’ target revenues should be re-based for MRP2 and allowed the Utilities to file a single, consolidated application that presents their requested adjustment to target revenues. The proceeding to re-base the Utilities’ target revenues for MRP2 shall be bifurcated into two tracks, with the first track focused on reaching a decision on the Utilities’ revenue requirements prior to the commencement of MRP2 and the second track focused on making a final determination on the revenue requirement and addressing the rate design component.

On April 4, 2025, the PUC established a briefing schedule for the parties to present their positions regarding their evaluation of the PBR Framework, following the Working Group meeting held on February 14, 2025. Timely opening briefs were filed by the parties on May 5, 2025. Parties may file reply brief responding to specific positions or recommendations raised in other parties’ opening briefs by May 19, 2025. Following review of the briefs, the PUC will issue an order addressing the PBR Framework performance and next steps.

Annual revenue adjustment mechanism. The PBR Framework established afive-year MRP during which there will be no general rate cases. Target revenues will be adjusted according to an index-driven ARA based on (i) an inflation factor, (ii) a predetermined X-factor to encompass productivity, which is set at zero, (iii) a Z-factor to account for exceptional circumstances not in the Utilities’ control and (iv) a customer dividend consisting of a negative adjustment of 0.22% of adjusted revenue requirements compounded annually and a flow through of the “pre-PBR” savings commitment from the management audit recommendations developed in a prior docket at a rate of $6.6 million per year from 2021 to 2025. The ARA mechanism replaced the previous revenue adjustment mechanism (RAM). RAM revenue adjustments approved by the PUC in 2020 will continue to be included in the RBA provision’s target revenue and RBA rate adjustment to the extent such adjustments are not included in base rate unless modified with PUC approval.

Earnings sharing mechanism. The PBR Framework established a symmetrical ESM for achieved rate-making ROACE outside of a 300 basis points deadband above or below the current authorized ROACE of 9.5% for each of the Utilities. There is a 50/50 sharing between customers and Utilities for the achieved rate-making ROACE falling within 150 basis points outside of the deadband in either direction, and a 90/10 sharing for any further difference. A reopening or review of the PBR terms may be triggered if the Utilities credit rating outlook indicates a potential credit downgrade below investment grade status, or if its achieved rate-making ROACE enters the outer most tier of the ESM.

On August 31, 2023, the PUC issued an order temporarily suspending the ESM until further notice. The intent of the order is to address the unintended consequence of customers potentially bearing the costs associated with the Maui windstorm and wildfires through the operation of the ESM without prior PUC review.

Exceptional project recovery mechanism. Prior to the implementation of the PBR Framework, the PUC established the Major Project Interim Recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism and MPIR Guidelines. The MPIR mechanism provides the opportunity to recover revenues for net costs of approved eligible projects placed in service between general rate cases. In establishing the PBR Framework, the MPIR Guidelines were terminated and replaced with the EPRM Guidelines. Although the MPIR Guidelines were terminated and replaced by the EPRM Guidelines, the MPIR mechanism will continue within the PBR Framework to provide recovery of project costs previously approved for recovery under the MPIR. The established EPRM Guidelines permit the Utilities to include the full amount of approved costs in the EPRM for recovery in the first year the project goes into service, pro-rated for the portion of the year the project is in service. Deferred and O&M expense projects are also eligible for EPRM recovery under the EPRM Guidelines. EPRM recoverable costs will be limited to the lesser of actual incurred project costs or PUC‑approved amounts, net of savings.

As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities annualized MPIR and EPRM revenue amounts totaled $35.7 million, including revenue taxes, for the Schofield Generating Station ($15.6 million), West Loch PV project ($3.1 million), Grid Modernization Strategy (GMS) Phase 1 project ($14.1 million for all three utilities), Waiawa UFLS project ($0.1 million), Waena Switchyard/Synchronous project ($2.5 million) and Resilience project ($0.3 million) that included the 2024 return on project amount (based on approved amounts) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses. The annualized MPIR and EPRM revenues are subject to PUC approval and would be effective June 1, 2025 through the RBA rate adjustment.

As of March 31, 2025, the PUC approved four EPRM applications for projects totaling $218.5 million to the extent the project costs are not included in rates. Currently, the Utilities are seeking EPRM recovery fortwo additional projects subject to PUC approval.

Pilot process. As part of the PBR Framework, the PUC approved a pilot process to foster innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that tests new technologies, programs, business models, and other arrangements (Pilot Process). Under the Pilot Process, the Utilities submit specific pilot proposals (Pilot Notices) that are within the scope of the approved Workplan to the PUC for their expedited review. The PUC will strive to issue an order addressing a proposed pilot within 45 days of the filing date of a Pilot Notice. If the PUC does not take affirmative action on a Pilot Notice by the end of the 45-day period, the Pilot Notice will be considered approved as submitted. The PUC may modify the pilot as originally proposed, and the Utilities will have 15 days to notify the PUC whether the Utilities accept the modification, propose further modification, or withdraw the Pilot Notice. The PUC may also, where necessary, suspend the Pilot Notice for further investigation. The approved Pilot Process includes a cost recovery process that generally allows the Utilities to defer and recover total annual expenditures of approved pilot projects net of revenues, subject to an annual cap of $10 million, over 12 months beginning June 1 of the year following pilot implementation through the RBA rate adjustment, although the PUC may determine on a case-by-case basis that a particular project’s deferred costs should be amortized over a period greater than 12 months.

On March 24, 2025, the Utilities filed their annual Pilot Update report covering pilot projects that were active during 2024, including reporting on pilot projects that were initiated prior to the commencement of the Pilot Process. The Pilot Update reported on approximately $2.1 million of 2024 recorded pilot project costs including revenue taxes for the Utilities. The 2024 recorded pilot project costs were included in the Utilities’ proposed adjustments to target revenue in the 2025 spring revenue report filed on March 31, 2025.

Performance incentive mechanisms. The following PIMs and SSMs were approved by the PUC and are applicable to the 2024 evaluation period. There were no accruals for the 2025 evaluation period. PIMs and SSMs are determined at the end of their evaluation period. Unless otherwise specified, the evaluation period is the 12‑month calendar year period ending December 31 over which measured performance is determined.

1 The Interconnection Approval PIM expired as of December 31, 2024.

On April 1, 2024, the Utilities filed a request for partial temporary suspension and modification of the T&D SAIDI and T&D SAIFI PIMs to specifically suspend the T&D SAIDI and T&D SAIFI PIMs for wildfire risk circuits from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The Utilities also proposed that circuits not identified as wildfire risk circuits would continue to be subject to the existing PIMs on a prorated basis. On December 18, 2024, as clarified on January 15, 2025, the PUC issued orders granting the Utilities’ request to suspend the T&D SAIDI and T&D SAIFI PIMs for wildfire risk circuits from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

For the 2024 evaluation period, the Utilities accrued $6.2 million ($2.5 million for Hawaiian Electric, $3.4 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $0.3 million for Maui Electric) in rewards net of penalties. The net rewards related to 2024 were reflected in the 2025 PIMs annual report and 2025 spring revenue report filings with the exception of the Phase 1 RFP PIM, which was reflected in the 2024 spring revenue report and 2024 fall revenue report filings.

Annual review cycle. PBR D&O established an annual review cycle for revenue adjustments under the PBR Framework, including the biannual submission of the revenue reports. The Utilities filed the 2025 spring revenue report on March 31, 2025, which is subject to PUC approval. The filing reflected ARA revenues for the second year recovery of the COVID-19 related deferred costs through the Z-factor and the accelerated return of the Enterprise Resource Planning system benefits savings to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric customers as part of the customer dividend, as follows (See discussion under “Regulatory assets and liabilities” below):

Note: Columns may not foot due to rounding.

The net incremental amounts between the 2024 fall and 2025 spring revenue reports are shown in the following table. The amounts are to be collected (refunded) from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, under the RBA rate tariffs, which were included in the 2025 spring revenue report filing.

Note: Columns may not foot due to rounding.

Regulatory assets and liabilities.

Regulatory asset related to retirement of generating units.

Honolulu generating units 8 and 9. On December 22, 2023, the PUC issued a decision and order approving the Utilities’ request to establish a regulatory asset for the remaining net book value of the fossil fuel generating units for both Honolulu units 8 and 9 assets that retired on December 31, 2023, and amortize the regulatory asset over approximately nine years. The PUC also ruled that the Utilities may seek to include the regulatory asset in rate base and seek to recover the amortization expense and a return on the unamortized balance of the regulatory asset in the next rate case or rate re-setting proceeding. As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $25.9 million in regulatory assets for the remaining net book value of Honolulu generating units 8 and 9.

Waiau generating units 3 and 4. On September 30, 2024, the PUC issued a decision and order approving the Utilities’ request to establish a regulatory asset for the remaining net book value of the fossil fuel generating units for both Waiau units 3 and 4 assets that retired on December 31, 2024, and amortize the regulatory asset over approximately nine years. The PUC also ruled that the Utilities may seek to include the regulatory asset in rate base and seek to recover the amortization expense and a return on the unamortized balance of the regulatory asset in the next rate case or rate re-setting proceeding. As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $13.9 million in regulatory assets for the remaining net book value of Waiau generating units 3 and 4.

Regulatory assets for Maui windstorm and wildfires related costs. On December 27, 2023, the PUC issued an order authorizing deferred accounting treatment for the Utilities’ incremental non-labor expenses under specific cost categories related to the August 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires. The deferred accounting treatment authorized, applied to certain non-labor expenses incurred from August 8, 2023 through December 31, 2024 that are not already a part of base rates.

On February 12, 2025, the PUC issued an order granting the Utilities request to extend the deferral accounting period to December 31, 2025, limited to insurance premiums and outside services and legal costs associated with the asset-based lending facility credit agreement (see Note 5).

As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $58.3 million in regulatory assets for the incremental costs incurred related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires event.

Requests for cost recovery of deferred costs will be the subject of a separate application at which time the PUC will evaluate whether such costs were prudently incurred and reasonable and determine the extent to which such costs will be eligible for recovery, and the period over which recovery will occur. If the PUC denies recovery of any deferred costs, such costs would be charged to expense in the period that those costs are no longer considered probable of recovery.

Regulatory liabilities for Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM). The ERP/EAM Implementation Project went live in October 2018. Hawaii Electric Light and Hawaiian Electric began to incorporate their portion of the deferred project costs in rate base and started the amortization over a 12-year period in January 2020 and November 2020, respectively. The PUC required a minimum of $246 million ERP/EAM project-related benefit to be delivered to customers over the system’s 12-year service life.

In February 2019, the PUC approved a methodology for passing the future cost saving benefits of the ERP/EAM system to customers developed by the Utilities in collaboration with the Consumer Advocate. The Utilities filed a benefits clarification document on June 10, 2019, reflecting $150 million in future net other operation and maintenance (O&M) expense reductions and cost avoidance, and $96 million in capital cost reductions and tax savings over the 12-year service life. To the extent the reduction in O&M expense relates to amounts reflected in electric rates, the Utilities would reduce future rates for such amounts. In October 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate’s Stipulated Performance Metrics and Tracking Mechanism. As part of the settlement agreement approved in the Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case, the regulatory liability for Hawaiian Electric will be amortized over five years, beginning in November 2020, and the O&M benefits for Hawaiian Electric was considered flowed through to customers. On December 29, 2023, the PUC approved the Utilities’ proposal to accelerate flow-through of the ERP benefits savings currently tracked in regulatory liability accounts to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric customers as part of the customer dividend in the ARA, to mitigate the impact of the Utilities’ recovery of the COVID-19 related costs on customers. See “Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs” section below.

As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities’ regulatory liability was $12.3 million ($0.8 million for Hawaiian Electric, $4.6 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $6.9 million for Maui Electric) for the O&M expense savings that are being amortized or to be included in future rates. At the PUC’s direction, the Utilities have been filing Annual Enterprise System Benefits (AESB) report on the achieved benefits savings.

Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs. In a decision and order issued on December 29, 2023, as clarified by an order issued on February 27, 2024, the PUC approved the Utilities’ recovery of the COVID-19 related deferred costs of$8.7 million evenly over athree-year recovery period from June 1, 2024 and end May 31, 2027 through the Z-factor in the ARA. As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $5.9 million in regulatory assets for deferral of COVID-19 related costs.

Regulatory assets for suspension of disconnections related costs. Based on circumstances related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, on August 31, 2023 and subsequently on October 13, 2023, the PUC issued orders directing all regulated utilities located on, or providing utility service on Maui, including the Utilities, among other things, (i) to suspend disconnections of services and associated disconnection fees beginning from August 8, 2023, through the end of the emergency relief period established by the Governor’s Emergency Proclamations related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, which currently continues through June 3, 2025 (Suspension Period); (ii) to suspend any and all rules and provisions of individual utility tariffs that prevent or condition re-connection of disconnected customers during the Suspension Period; (iii) not to charge customers interest on past due payments or impose any late payment fees through the Suspension Period; (iv) to establish regulatory assets to record costs directly related to the suspension of disconnections, and to record receipt of governmental aid and donation-based aid, loans or grants, and/or all other assistance measures, and any cost savings realized; and (v) to file a notice with the PUC regarding any upcoming application or other request pursuant to HRS Sections 269-16.3, -17, -17.5, -18, -19, or -19.5 and/or regarding any significant financial change to the Maui utility, at least 60 days prior to filing such application or other request with the PUC. The orders also discourage the filing of emergency or general rate increases in response to the emergency situation. In future proceedings, the PUC will assess the utility’s request for recovery of these regulatory assets including whether it is reasonable and necessary, the appropriate period of recovery for the approved amount of regulatory assets, any amount of carrying costs thereon, any savings directly attributable to suspension of disconnects, and other related matters. As of March 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $3.8 million in regulatory assets for the incremental costs incurred due to the suspension of disconnections.

Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information. The Company contributed $1 million ($1 million by the Utilities) to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first three months of 2025, compared tono contribution by the Company nor the Utilities in the first three months of 2024. The Company’s current estimate of total contributions to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2025, comparable to 2024, is $9 million ($9 million by the Utilities). In addition, the Company expects to pay directly $3 million ($1 million by the Utilities) of benefits in 2025, compared to $2 million ($1 million by the Utilities) paid in 2024.

The components of net periodic pension costs and net periodic benefit costs for HEI consolidated and Hawaiian Electric consolidated were as follows:

The Utilities have implemented pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms under which all of their retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses) determined in accordance with GAAP are recovered over time. Under the tracking mechanisms, any actual costs determined in accordance with GAAP that are over/under amounts allowed in rates are charged/credited to a regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset/liability for each utility will then be amortized over five years beginning with the respective utility’s next rate case.

Note 9 · Share-based compensation

As a result of the ASB sale transaction on December 31, 2024, previously recorded share-based awards to ASB participants under the EIP (defined below) were cancelled. Unless otherwise noted, amounts in the share-based compensation footnote include discontinued operations.

Under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective February 9, 2024 (EIP), HEI can issue shares of common stock as incentive compensation to non-employee directors and selected employees and consultants in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and other share-based and cash-based awards.

As of March 31, 2025, approximately 2.5 million shares remained available for future issuance under the terms of the EIP, assuming recycling of shares withheld to satisfy statutory tax liabilities relating to EIP awards, including an estimated 1.3 million shares that could be issued upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the achievement of performance goals for awards outstanding under long-term incentive plans (assuming that such performance goals are achieved at maximum levels).

Under the 2011 Nonemployee Director Stock Plan (2011 Director Plan), HEI can issue shares of common stock as compensation to nonemployee directors of HEI and its principal subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2025, there were 168,177 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2011 Director Plan.

Share-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit from continuing operations were as follows:

1 For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not capitalized any share-based compensation.

Restricted stock units. Information about HEI’s grants of restricted stock units was as follows:

(1) Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share based on the average price of HEI common stock on the date of grant.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total restricted stock units and related dividends that vested had a fair value of $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and the related tax benefits were $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.

Long-term incentive plan payable in stock. The 2023-25, 2024-26 and 2025-27 long-term incentive plans (LTIP) provide for performance awards under the EIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made, subject to the achievement of specified performance levels and calculated dividend equivalents. The potential payout varies from 0% to 220% of the number of target shares, depending on the achievement of the goals. The 2023-25 and 2024-26 LTIP performance goals include a market condition goal. The market condition goal is based on HEI’s total shareholder return (TSR) compared to the Peer Group (the Company's compensation peer group consisting of companies in the EEI Index and approved by the Company's Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee), in each case over the relevant three-year period. The other performance condition goals relate to cumulative EPS and return on average common equity (ROACE) and Hawaiian Electric’s net income growth, ROACE, carbon emissions reduction, credit rating, public safety, funds from operations to total adjusted debt ratio and customer experience. The 2025-27 LTIP includes other performance goals (described above) and a relative TSR payout modifier, which may adjust the payout shares based on the relative TSR result. The relative TSR modifier is based on HEI’s TSR compared to the Peer Group.

LTIP linked to TSR (payout modifier for 2025-27 LTIP and performance goal). Information about HEI’s LTIP grants linked to TSR was as follows:

(1) Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The grant date fair values of the LTIP awards linked to TSR were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing actual information for the common shares of HEI and the Peer Group for the period from the beginning of the performance period to the grant date and estimated future stock volatility of HEI and the Peer Group over the remaining three-year performance period. The expected stock volatility assumptions for HEI and the Peer Group were based on thethree-year historic stock volatility. A dividend assumption is not required for the Monte Carlo simulation because the grant payout includes dividend equivalents and projected returns include the value of reinvested dividends.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the LTIP awards linked to TSR and the resulting fair value of LTIP awards granted:

There wereno share-based LTIP awards linked to TSR with a vesting date in 2025 and 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $5.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested performance awards payable in shares linked to TSR. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

LTIP awards linked to other performance conditions. Information about HEI’s LTIP awards payable in shares linked to other performance conditions was as follows:

(1) Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share based on the average price of HEI common stock on the date of grant.

There were no share-based LTIP awards linked to other performance conditions with a vesting date in 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total vested LTIP awards linked to other performance conditions and related dividends had a fair value of $1.7 million and the related tax benefits were $0.4 million.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $3.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested shares linked to performance conditions other than TSR. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Note 10 ·Income taxes

The Company’s and the Utilities’ effective tax rates (combined federal and state income tax rates) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were 19% and 21%, respectively. These rates differed from the combined statutory rates, primarily due to the Utilities’ amortization of excess deferred income taxes related to the provision in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that lowered the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company’s and the Utilities’ effective tax rates were 24% and 22%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the first three months of 2025 and 2024 were 19% and 24%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2025 was lower than the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to the loss from the sale of Hamakua Holdings, LLC and a decrease in excess taxes related to vesting of share-based awards, partially offset by higher executive compensation limitations in 2025.

The Utilities’ effective tax rates for the first three months of 2025 and 2024 were 21% and 22%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2025 was lower than the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in excess taxes related to vesting of share-based awards, partially offset by higher executive compensation limitations in 2025.

The Company currently has no open Internal Revenue Service or State income tax audits.

Note 11 · Cash flows

1 The amounts shown represent the market value of common stock issued for director and executive/management compensation and withheld to satisfy statutory tax liabilities.

Note 12 · Fair value measurements

Fair value measurement and disclosure valuation methodology. The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value:

Money market mutual funds. The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less and deposits in money market mutual funds that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Short-term borrowings. The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Long-term debt. Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt was obtained from third-party financial services providers based on the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities and from discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar risks, terms, and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of floating rate long-term debt approximated fair value because of the short-term interest reset periods. Long-term debt is classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Interest rate swaps. The Company measures its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps are based on the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps are classified as a Level 2 measurements.

The following table presents the carrying or notional amount, fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market mutual funds and derivative assets and liabilities as included in the table above. Money market mutual funds are included in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Restricted cash” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivatives are included in “Other noncurrent assets” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There were no Level 3 assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
