Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of significant accounting policies
Note 1 · Summary of significant accounting policies
General
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) is a holding company with direct and indirect subsidiaries principally engaged in electric utility and non-regulated renewable/sustainable infrastructure businesses operating in the State of Hawaii. HEI owns Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric), ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), GLST1, LLC (GLST1) and Pacific Current, LLC (Pacific Current).
Hawaiian Electric and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (Hawaii Electric Light) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (Maui Electric), are regulated public electric utilities (collectively, the Utilities) in the business of generating, purchasing, transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy on all major islands in Hawaii other than Kauai. Hawaiian Electric also owns Renewable Hawaii, Inc. (RHI), and HE AR INTER LLC. See Note 3.
ASB Hawaii, is an intermediate holding company that previously owned American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), a federally chartered, full-service Hawaii community bank. In December 2024, ASB Hawaii sold ASB but currently retains a 9.9% noncontrolling investment in ASB. See Note 5.
GLST1 is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. created for the specific purpose of holding HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s first liability installment payment pursuant to the settlement agreements to settle the tort-related legal claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires. See Note 2.
Pacific Current is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. created to invest in non-regulated energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii. Pacific Current’s last remaining subsidiary, Mahipapa, LLC (Mahipapa), operates a firm dispatchable closed-loop biomass-to-energy facility on Kauai. In March 10, 2025, Pacific Current’s Hamakua Energy, LLC (Hamakua Energy) was sold to an unaffiliated third party. In June 2025, all of Pacific Current’s membership interests in Mauo, LLC (Mauo), Kaʻieʻie Waho Company, LLC (Kaʻieʻie Waho), Upena, LLC, and Alenuihaha Developments, LLC were transferred to PC Opco. On August 1, 2025, PC Opco was sold to an unaffiliated third party. See Note 3.
Basis of presentation.  In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change for HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) include the amounts reported as fair value for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; contingencies and litigation; income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities (Utilities only); and asset retirement obligations (Utilities only).
Consolidation.  The HEI consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HEI and its subsidiaries. The Hawaiian Electric consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries. When HEI or Hawaiian Electric has a controlling financial interest in another entity (usually, majority voting interest), that entity is consolidated. Investments in companies over which the Company or the Utilities have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements exclude variable interest entities (VIEs) when the Company or the Utilities are not the primary beneficiaries. Significant intercompany amounts are eliminated in consolidation (see Note 3 for limited exceptions).
Sale of American Savings Bank, F.S.B.  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 to various investors, including certain ASB officers and directors of ASB while retaining a 9.9% noncontrolling ownership position. The sale transaction closed on December 31, 2024 and no investor acquired more than 9.9% of the common stock of ASB. The sale of ASB met the accounting requirements to be disclosed as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of ASB, including the loss on the ASB sale, are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income and cash flows, and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, reference within the following notes to consolidated financial statements exclude discontinued operations. See Note 5.
Investment in ASB. As a result of the ASB sale transaction on December 31, 2024, the Company retained a 9.9% noncontrolling ownership interest in ASB amounting to $44.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and is included in “Other noncurrent assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has elected to subsequently measure
its investment in ASB at cost minus impairment, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, Investments-Equity Securities. FASB ASC 321 allows an entity to measure investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at cost minus impairment. On a quarterly basis, the Company is required to make a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s investment in ASB remained unchanged as there were no events that occurred or facts that have been discovered which indicated the investment was impaired.
Cash and cash equivalents.  The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, short-term commercial paper of non-affiliates and liquid investments (with original maturities of three months or less) to be cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted cash. The Company considers cash held by trustees, related to non-recourse loans at Pacific Current subsidiaries, and cash held by GLST1, related to the first liability installment payment pursuant to the settlement agreements to settle the tort-related legal claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, to be restricted cash. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, total restricted cash of the Company was $479.0 million and $492.3 million, respectively, which primarily represents the $478.8 million held by GLST1. For the Utilities, there was no restricted cash at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Property, plant and equipment.  Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost. Self-constructed electric utility plant includes engineering, supervision, administrative and general costs and an allowance for the cost of funds used during the construction period. These costs are recorded in construction in progress and are transferred to utility plant when construction is completed and the facilities are either placed in service or become useful for public utility purposes. Costs for betterments that make utility plant more useful, more efficient, of greater durability or of greater capacity are also capitalized. Upon the retirement or sale of electric utility plant, generally no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of the plant retired is charged to accumulated depreciation. Amounts collected from customers for cost of removal are included in regulatory liabilities. See discussion regarding “Utility projects” in Note 4.
Depreciation.  Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets being depreciated. Electric utility plant additions in the current year are depreciated beginning January 1 of the following year in accordance with rate-making. Electric utility plant and Pacific Current generation assets have lives ranging from 16 to 51 years for production plant, from 10 to 79 years for transmission and distribution plant, and from 5 to 50 years for general plant. The Utilities’ composite annual depreciation rate, which includes a component for cost of removal, was 3.1% in 2025 and 3.2% in 2024 and 2023.
Retirement benefits.  Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are charged primarily to expense and electric utility plant (in the case of the Utilities). Funding for the Company’s qualified pension plan (Plan) is based on actuarial assumptions adopted by the Pension Investment Committee administering the Plan. The participating employers contribute amounts to pension trust for the Plan in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), including changes promulgated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and considering the deductibility of contributions under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company generally funds at least the net periodic pension cost during the year, subject to ERISA minimum and Internal Revenue Code limits and targeted funded status.
Certain health care and/or life insurance benefits are provided to eligible retired employees and the employees’ beneficiaries and covered dependents. The Company generally funds the net periodic postretirement benefit costs other than pension (except for executive life) for postretirement benefits other than pension (OPEB), while maximizing the use of the most tax-advantaged funding vehicles, subject to cash flow requirements and reviews of the funded status with the consulting actuary.
Environmental expenditures.  The Company and the Utilities are subject to numerous federal and state environmental statutes and regulations. In general, environmental contamination treatment costs are charged to expense. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property; the costs mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination; or the costs are incurred in preparing the property for sale. Environmental costs are either capitalized or charged to expense when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Utilities review their sites and measure the liability quarterly by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs of each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties.
Contingencies and litigation.  The Company and the Utilities are subject to proceedings (including PUC proceedings), lawsuits and other claims. Management assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments in or outcomes of these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies
is based on an analysis of each individual case or proceeding often with the assistance of outside counsel. Loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and estimates are adjusted to reflect the impact of all known information, such as new developments in each matter or changes in approach in dealing with these matters, including changes in settlement strategy. When a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded in the amount of the estimable loss. If it is reasonably possible that a loss may have been incurred and the effect on the financial statements could be material, the Company and the Utilities disclose the nature of the loss contingency and an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made within the notes to the financial statements.
Income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s and the Utilities’ assets and liabilities at federal and state tax rates expected to be in effect when such deferred tax assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
HEI and the Utilities’ investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the properties to which the credits relate (and for the Utilities, this treatment is in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 980, “Regulated Operations”).
The Utilities are included in the consolidated income tax returns of HEI. However, income tax expense has been computed for financial statement purposes as if each utility filed a separate income tax return and Hawaiian Electric filed a consolidated Hawaiian Electric income tax return.
Governmental tax authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by the Company. The Company and the Utilities use a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Fair value measurements. Fair value estimates are estimates of the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the Company and the Utilities use their own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the Company or the Utilities were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the Company’s and the Utilities’ financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.
The Company and the Utilities group their financial assets measured at fair value in three levels outlined as follows:
Level 1:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2:    Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Classification in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. For instruments classified in Level 1 and 2 where inputs are primarily based upon observable market data, there is less judgment applied in arriving at the fair value. For instruments classified in Level 3, management judgment is more significant due to the lack of observable market data.
The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next related to the observability of inputs in fair value measurements may result in a reclassification between the fair value hierarchy levels and are recognized based on period-end balances.
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate certain assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of nonrecurring uses of fair value include asset retirement obligations (AROs).
Earnings per share (HEI only).  Basic earnings per share (EPS) and Basic EPS from continuing operations are computed by dividing net income for common stock and income from continuing operations for common stock, respectively, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS and diluted EPS from continuing operations are computed similarly, except that dilutive common shares for stock compensation is added to the denominator. Since there is a net loss, there can be no potentially dilutive shares during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2023, the antidilutive effect of restricted stock units (RSUs) on 22,172 and 65,078, respectively, shares of common stock, was not included in the computation of diluted EPS.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of.  The Company and the Utilities review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. When the Utilities conclude that recovery of the remaining carrying amount of long-lived generation asset upon retirement is probable of recovery in future rates the carrying amount of the long-lived generation asset is recorded as a regulatory asset. Other assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations. In June 2025, the Company determined the net assets of our remaining Pacific Current operating subsidiaries met the criteria for classification as held for sale. The Company sold Pacific Current’s solar and Battery Energy Storage System facilities in August 2025. The assets and liabilities of Pacific Current’s remaining biomass facility has been reclassified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025. The Company determined that the sale of these assets and the planned sale of the remaining asset did not represent a strategic shift having a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. For further discussion, see “Sale of solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities” and “Assets held for sale-Mahipapa” in Note 3.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
Income taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 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 has adopted this amendment on a prospective basis effective for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption did not 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). If implemented, the rules would require annual disclosure of material greenhouse gas emissions; governance, risk management and strategy related to material climate-related risks; financial statement impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions; 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 material impacts on estimates and assumptions in the financial statements. 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.
Income statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The guidance requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Internal-use software disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance removes all references to project stages in software development and requires capitalization of internal-use software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the intended function. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for government grants. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The ASU adds guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants received by business entities. ASU No. 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Electric utility
Regulation by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC). The Utilities are regulated by the PUC and account for the effects of regulation under FASB ASC Topic 980, “Regulated Operations.” As a result, the Utilities’ financial statements reflect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses based on current cost-based rate-making regulations (see Note 4—“Regulatory assets and liabilities”). Their continued accounting under ASC Topic 980 generally requires that rates are established by an independent, third-party regulator; rates are designed to recover the costs of providing service; and it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to, and collected from, customers. Management believes that the operations of the Utilities, including the impact of the approved PBR Framework, currently satisfy the criteria under ASC Topic 980.
The rate schedules of the Utilities include energy costs recovery clauses (ECRCs) under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. The rate schedules also include purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs) under which the remaining purchase power expenses are recovered through surcharge mechanisms. The amounts collected through the ECRCs and PPACs are required to be reconciled quarterly.
Accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Utilities generally assess a late payment charge on balances unpaid from the previous month. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Utilities’ best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in the Utilities’ existing accounts receivable. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for customer accounts receivable, accrued unbilled revenues and other accounts receivable was $6.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
Electric utility revenues.  Revenues related to electric service are generally recorded when service is rendered and include revenues applicable to energy consumed in the accounting period but not yet billed to the customers. The Utilities also record revenue under a decoupling mechanism. See “Decoupling” discussion in Note 4.
Repairs and maintenance costs.  Repairs and maintenance costs for overhauls of generating units are generally expensed as they are incurred.
Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC).  AFUDC represents the estimated costs of debt (i.e., interest) and equity funds used to finance plant construction. AFUDC is credited on the statement of income and charged to construction in progress on the balance sheet. If a project under construction is delayed for an extended period of time, AFUDC on the delayed project may be stopped after assessing the causes of the delay and probability of recovery. The tax gross up of the allowance for equity funds used during construction is credited to income taxes on the statement of income and charged to a regulatory asset. This gross up, net of amortization of the regulatory asset, is reflected in income tax expense.
The weighted-average AFUDC rate was 7.3% in 2025 and 2024 and 7.2% in 2023, and reflected quarterly compounding.
Asset retirement obligations.  AROs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 410-20, “Asset Retirement Obligations.” AROs are recognized at present value of expected costs to retire long-lived assets from service, provided a legal obligation exists and a reasonable estimate of the fair value and the settlement date can be made. In the subsequent period, the liability is accreted to its future value while the asset retirement cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. The Utilities’ recognition of AROs have no impact on earnings, as the cost of the AROs are recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by the Utilities relate to legal obligations with the retirement of plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials. See “Asset retirement obligations” in Note 4.

Maui windstorm and wildfires

Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both [Abstract]  
Maui windstorm and wildfires
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.
The Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) has issued orders authorizing deferred accounting treatment for certain incremental non-labor expenses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires incurred from August 8, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The approval pertains only to deferred cost treatment for expenses that are not already part of base rates; any actual recovery of deferred costs will be the subject of a separate application(s). As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have deferred $80.5 million of these incremental costs to a regulatory asset.
The Utilities are actively seeking recovery of damage to rebuild the covered electrical infrastructure from their insurers and have received insurance recoveries of $8.6 million and $1.0 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively; 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 December 31, 2025, the Utilities have $489.6 million of property insurance coverage remaining, net of insurance recoveries to HEI’s discontinued subsidiary.
Tort-related legal claims. HEI and the Utilities have each been named in several thousand lawsuits related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. Nearly all of these civil lawsuits, including one putative class action, are pending in the Maui Circuit Court. Two putative class actions and one individual action are pending in federal court. These state and federal lawsuits (collectively, tort-related legal claims) name as defendants HEI, the Utilities, and others, including the County of Maui, the State of Hawaii and related state entities, private landowners and developers, and telecommunications companies. 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 property destruction and loss of life. The plaintiffs seek to recover damages and other costs, including punitive damages for, among other things, personal injury, wrongful death, emotional distress, property damage, and inverse condemnation. One lawsuit asserting similar theories and claims was filed by the County of Maui against HEI and the Utilities. A separate lawsuit was filed by Spectrum Oceanic, LLC against HEI and the Utilities and other defendants, and other lawsuits were filed by approximately 200 subrogation insurers against HEI, the Utilities, a private landowner, and telecommunications companies. Defendants have asserted cross-claims against one another for indemnification, contribution, and subrogation. Additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company and other defendants in the future.
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 resulting from the Maui windstorm and wildfires 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.
One ‘Ohana Initiative. The One ‘Ohana Initiative is a $175 million humanitarian aid fund with the objective to compensate, in an expedited manner and as an alternative to litigation, those who lost loved ones and those who suffered severe injuries in the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The One ‘Ohana Initiative was funded with contributions from the State of Hawaii, the County of Maui, Kamehameha Schools, Hawaiian Electric, and other parties. Hawaiian Electric’s contribution of $75 million was fully funded by its insurance carriers, and no additional outlay is required.
Class Settlement Agreement and Individual Settlement Agreement. Effective November 1, 2024, HEI and Hawaiian Electric entered into two 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 thousands of individual plaintiffs who have brought their own lawsuits or who have hired attorneys but not yet filed 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 (summarized below) is a condition that must be satisfied before any payment is due from the defendants.
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 the $75 million previously contributed to the One ‘Ohana Initiative. 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 remaining amounts in four equal annual installments of approximately $479 million, with the first installment expected to be made once the conditions to funding are satisfied, which will occur no sooner than 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 December 31, 2025 based on the best estimate at that time.
HEI and Hawaiian Electric determined that making payments under the terms of the Settlement Agreements in four 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’ Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025. 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’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, based on the amounts expected to be remaining under the applicable insurance policies at the time of settlement payment.
The Settlement Agreements are intended to resolve all of the pending and potential tort-related legal claims related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The Class Settlement Agreement provides releases by class plaintiffs to the defendants, and among defendants, for acts and omissions relating to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. The Individual Settlement Agreement requires individual plaintiffs who elect to accept the settlement to sign individual releases. The releases in the Settlement Agreements, including those among defendants (subject to certain conditions), are effective on the initial payment due date, which will occur after a defined set of conditions are met. 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 either Settlement Agreement. Defendants had 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, although that threshold-based termination right has now expired without any defendant exercising it. Defendants retain the right to terminate the Settlement Agreements if the remaining conditions to payment are not met by March 2027.
The Settlement Agreements contain multiple conditions that must be met before the initial payment due date in order for any payment from HEI and Hawaiian Electric to the settlement funds to become due. Several of those conditions, including court approval of the Individual Settlement Agreement and the appropriation of funds by the Hawaii state legislature, have been met. The remaining unsatisfied conditions as of February 24, 2026, were that (i) the claims of the insurers must be resolved (either through agreement or a final and unappealable court order dismissing their direct subrogation actions against the defendants), and (ii) the final approval of the Class Settlement Agreement must become final and unappealable.
Insurer litigation. Two primary subrogation actions have been brought by various insurers covering almost all of the direct subrogation claims. On December 30, 2025, the court in both actions entered judgment in favor of the defendants, but certain of the plaintiff insurers have now appealed those rulings. No briefing schedules in these appeals have been set.
Approval of the Class Settlement Agreement. Following a hearing on December 17, 2025, at which the court orally granted final approval of the Class Settlement Agreement and no class member objected, the Maui Circuit Court entered a written order granting such final approval on January 26, 2026. The deadline to file appeals from that order was February 25, 2026, and as of February 26, 2026, no appeal appeared on the docket. As it appears no party appealed the final approval of the Class Settlement Agreement, it appears that such final approval order is now final and unappealable.
On February 10, 2026, the Hawaii Supreme Court affirmed the denial of the subrogation insurers’ motion to intervene into the class action in order to object to the final approval of the Class Settlement Agreement.
Litigation with Opt Outs. As of December 31, 2025, some individual plaintiffs who had initially “opted out” of the Class Settlement Agreement have not signed individual agreements and releases to join the global settlement. The defendants are continuing in their efforts to resolve these claims through the $500 million holdback fund that is part of the global settlement.
The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation if a definitive settlement of all open litigation is ultimately not achieved. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of 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. On August 24, 2023, a putative securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California claiming violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against HEI and Hawaiian Electric and certain of HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s current and former officers, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against certain current and former officers (the Securities Action). The lawsuit broadly alleged that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding our wildfire prevention and safety protocols and related matters.
On November 5, 2025, the parties signed a binding term sheet to settle the Securities Action (the Securities Action Term Sheet) following negotiations facilitated by a mediator. On January 5, 2026, the parties executed a definitive stipulation of settlement (the Securities Action Stipulation of Settlement) that will provide for the complete resolution of the Securities Action in exchange for a payment by the Company of $47.8 million as part of the overall settlement described below. The settlement of the Securities Action is conditioned on, among other things, approval by the boards of the Company and Hawaiian Electric; the finalization and court approval of the Securities Actions stipulation of settlement; the finalization by February 26, 2026 and subsequent court approval of the stipulation of settlement in the Derivative Actions (defined and discussed below); and entry of a judgment of dismissal following final court approval. In connection with the settlement of the Securities Action, there will be no admission of liability by the Company or any defendants and the Company, the defendants, and related persons will receive a customary full release of all claims. On February 26, 2026, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California held a hearing to determine whether to preliminarily approve the Securities Action Stipulation of Settlement. Following the hearing, the court indicated that it will issue an order and set a hearing date for the final approval of the settlement.
In connection with the execution of the Securities Action Term Sheet, HEI accrued, as of December 31, 2025, $47.8 million, and concurrently recorded an insurance reimbursement receivable of an equivalent amount as the recovery of the agreed settlement payment under its directors and officers liability insurance policy is deemed probable. HEI charged the accrued settlement to “Expenses-Other” in HEI and Subsidiaries’ Consolidated Statements of Income, which was offset by the probable insurance recovery. The accrued settlement and insurance receivable is included in “Wildfire related claims” and “Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net,” under current liabilities and current assets, respectively, in HEI and subsidiaries’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Shareholder derivative lawsuits. 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. In addition, 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, and 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. All of the lawsuits were 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. In all of the cases, the plaintiffs generally alleged state law breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty claims in connection with the Maui windstorm and wildfires and certain of the Company’s prior public disclosures, and some of them added claims based on purported violations of federal securities laws. Depending on the case, the plaintiffs were seeking, on behalf of HEI, damages, restitution, disgorgement, injunctive relief, and equitable relief, including in the form of changes to HEI’s corporate governance policies and procedures.
On November 5, 2025, the parties signed a binding term sheet (the Derivative Litigation Term Sheet) to settle all of the outstanding derivative actions described above (the Derivative Actions). The Derivative Litigation Term Sheet was signed following negotiations facilitated by a mediator. On December 31, 2025, the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement (the Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement) that provides for a complete resolution of the claims asserted in the Derivative Actions in exchange for a payment on behalf of the individual defendants by the Company’s insurers in the amount of $100 million, which will be used in part to pay the $47.8 million for the Securities Action Stipulation of Settlement and fees and expenses for plaintiffs' counsel. The settlement of the Derivative Actions is conditioned on, among other things, the
approval by the boards of HEI and Hawaiian Electric (including their independent directors) of the Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement; final court approval of the Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement; and entry of final judgment and orders of dismissal in the Derivative Actions. The plaintiffs’ counsel intends to request court approval for attorneys’ fees of 25% of the settlement proceeds, plus expenses not to exceed $475,000. In connection with the settlement of the Derivative Actions, there will be no admissions of liability, and the defendants and related persons will receive a customary full release of all claims. The Securities Action Stipulation of Settlement and Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement were promptly submitted to the courts for preliminary approval subsequent to execution. The United States District Court for the District of Hawaii is scheduled to hold a hearing to consider preliminary approval of the Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement on March 9, 2026.
The Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement calls for the settlement to be fully funded by the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policies. As noted above, $47.8 million of the $100 million total will be used to fund the settlement of the Securities Action. The remaining amount, any award in the Derivative Actions for the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses, and payment of other settlement-related expenses provided for in the term sheet, is accounted for as a contingent gain which will be recognized when realized or realizable.
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 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 December 31, 2025, the Company’s and Utilities’ insurance receivable totaled $96 million and $47 million, respectively, under the policies. As of December 31, 2025, HEI and its subsidiaries have approximately $10 million, nil and $71 million of insurance coverage remaining under the excess liability, 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 as of year-end.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment financial information
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 on two 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 on one reportable segment: Electric utility. HEI and its other subsidiaries which are not reportable segments are grouped and reported as an “All Other” non-reportable segment.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described for the Company in the summary of significant accounting policies, except as otherwise indicated and except that federal and state income taxes for each segment are calculated on a “stand-alone” basis. The Company’s chief operating decision makers (CODMs) evaluate segment performance based on net income. Each segment accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were to third parties (i.e., at current market prices). Intersegment revenues consist primarily of Hamakua Energy electricity revenues, interest and preferred stock dividends.
HEI’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segments or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay HEI common stock dividends. The CODM considers inputs from a variety of sources including the Chief Financial Officer, the General Counsel and presidents of operating units. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to HEI’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. The segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM does not include expense categories other than depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes.
Electric utility
Hawaiian Electric and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, are public electric utilities in the business of generating, purchasing, transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy on all major islands in Hawaii other than Kauai, and are regulated by the PUC. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui Electric are aggregated within the electric utility segment because they: (1) are involved in the business of supplying electric energy in the same geographical location (i.e., the State of Hawaii), (2) have similar production processes that comprise electric generation, (3) serve similar customers within their franchise territories (e.g., residential, commercial and industrial customers), (4) use similar electric grids to distribute the energy to their customers, (5) are regulated by the PUC and undergo similar rate-making processes, (6) have similar economic characteristics and (7) perform financial reporting oversight and management of the business at the consolidated level. Hawaiian Electric also owns the following nonregulated subsidiaries: Renewable Hawaii, Inc. (RHI), which was formed to invest in renewable energy projects; HE AR INTER LLC (HE AR INTER), which was formed to pursue financing through a secured asset-based (accounts receivable) credit facility. Both RHI and HE AR INTER are included within electric utility segment information provided to the CODMs.
Hawaiian Electric has determined that its CODMs are the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Net income variance analysis is regularly provided to CODMs and it is used to monitor budget as well as measuring against performance to the same period in the previous year. The CODMs measure the segment performance based on the Hawaiian Electric consolidated net income and segment net income of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric to make decisions to allocate resources. Hawaiian Electric concluded that all of the expense categories for its single reportable segment included in the Consolidated Statement of Income for Hawaiian Electric are the expense categories regularly provided to the CODMs and are significant.
All Other
“All Other” includes amounts for the holding companies (HEI and ASB Hawaii), GLST1, and Pacific Current and its operating subsidiary and do not meet the definition of reportable segments.
ASB Hawaii. ASB Hawaii was formed in 1988 and served as the holding company for ASB prior to its sale on December 31, 2024. ASB Hawaii still retains a 9.9% noncontrolling investment in ASB.
GLST1. 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. Effective March 31, 2025, HEI assigned 60% of the membership interests of GLST1 to Hawaiian Electric. As of December 31, 2025, the assigned equity interests total $287.3 million, which is reported on “Investment in unconsolidated affiliate” on the Utilities’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pacific Current. Pacific Current was formed in 2017 to focus on investing in non-regulated renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii to help achieve the state’s sustainability goals. As part of HEI’s comprehensive review of strategic options for Pacific Current, significant investments of Pacific Current that were made through its subsidiaries, Hamakua Energy, Mauo and Kaʻieʻie Waho were sold in 2025. As of December 31, 2025, Mahipapa is Pacific Current’s remaining operating subsidiary.
Sale of Hamakua Holdings, LLC. On March 10, 2025, Pacific Current closed on the sale of Hamakua Holdings, LLC (Hamakua Holdings), a then wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Current, to an unaffiliated third party for cash consideration (Hamakua Sale). Hamakua Holdings had two wholly owned subsidiaries: Hamakua Energy, and HAESP, LLC (created in connection with the current on-going Stage 3 RFP process). Hamakua Energy owned a 60-MW combined cycle power plant on Hawaii Island that provides electricity to Hawaii Electric Light under an existing PPA that expires in 2030. As a result and effective as of the closing of the Hamakua Sale, Pacific Current no longer owns either of Hamakua Energy or HAESP, LLC, as wholly owned subsidiaries of Hamakua Holdings. The Company recorded a loss on the sale amounting to $13.2 million as of March 31, 2025, which is included in “Loss on sales of subsidiaries and equity-method investments and impairment loss on assets sold and held for sale” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Sale of solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities. Effective August 1, 2025, HEI closed on the sale of its solar and BESS assets to an unaffiliated third party for cash consideration (Solar Asset Disposition). The Solar Asset Disposition was completed through the sale of the membership interests in Pacific Current, Solar and Storage Operating Company, LLC (PC Opco), a then newly created indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current, which owned all of the membership interest of Pacific Current’s solar and BESS project companies: Mauo, LLC (which owns solar-plus-storage projects totaling 8.6 MW on five University of Hawaii campuses on Oahu and Maui), Kaʻieʻie Waho Company, LLC (which owns a 6-MW solar photovoltaic system that provides renewable energy to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative), Upena, LLC (which owns a solar asset on Oahu) and Alenuihaha Developments, LLC (which owns a collection of renewable energy assets on Oahu and Kauai) (collectively, Project Companies). As a result of the Solar Asset Disposition, effective as of August 1, 2025, Pacific Current no longer owns the Project Companies. The Company recorded an immaterial gain on the Solar Asset Disposition as of September 30, 2025, which is included in “Loss on sales of subsidiaries and equity-method investments and impairment loss on assets sold and held for sale” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the net assets of Pacific Current’s solar/BESS and biomass facilities and concluded the net assets were impaired as of June 30 2025. As a result, the Company recognized a pretax impairment charge of $0.2 million and tax expense and an expected investment tax credit recapture of $5.3 million. The pretax impairment charge is included in “Loss on sale of subsidiaries and equity-method investments and impairment loss on assets sold and held for sale” and the taxes on the impairment and expected investment tax credit recapture is included in “Income tax expense (benefit)” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Assets held for sale-Mahipapa. In addition, in connection with the Solar Asset Disposition and as part of the membership interest purchase agreement pursuant to which the Solar Asset Disposition was conducted (MIPA), but as a separate transaction, Pacific Current agreed to sell all of the membership interest in its biomass subsidiary, Mahipapa, LLC, to the same unaffiliated third party that is party to the MIPA (the Mahipapa Sale), with each of the parties’ obligations to complete the Mahipapa Sale subject to the conditions set forth in the MIPA. Mahipapa owns a 7.5-MW renewable, firm dispatchable closed-loop biomass-
to-energy facility on Kauai that provides electricity to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative under a PPA that expires in January 2036.
The net assets of Mahipapa are classified as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025. The net assets were classified as current, and are summarized as follows:

Electric utility segment
Note 4 · Electric utility segment
Regulatory assets and liabilities.  The Utilities record regulatory assets and liabilities when they are deemed probable of recovery from or refund to customers. Determining probability requires significant judgment by management and includes considerations of regulatory orders, proposed regulatory treatment, strength of the applications and other available evidence. Regulatory assets represent deferred costs and accrued decoupling revenues which are expected to be recovered through rates over PUC-authorized periods. Generally, the Utilities do not earn a return on their regulatory assets; however, they have been allowed to recover interest on certain regulatory assets and to include certain regulatory assets in rate base. Regulatory liabilities represent amounts included in rates and collected from ratepayers for costs expected to be incurred in the future, or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred that are refundable to customers. For example, the regulatory liability for cost of removal in excess of salvage value represents amounts that have been collected from ratepayers for costs that are expected to be incurred in the future to retire a utility plant. Generally, the Utilities include regulatory liabilities in rate base or are required to apply interest to certain regulatory liabilities. In the table below, noted in parentheses are the original PUC authorized amortization or recovery periods and, if different, the remaining amortization or recovery periods as of December 31, 2025 are noted.

The regulatory asset and liability relating to retirement benefit plans was recorded as a result of pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms adopted by the PUC in rate case decisions for the Utilities in 2007 (see Note 11).
Regulatory assets for Maui windstorm and wildfires related costs. The PUC has issued orders authorizing deferred accounting treatment for certain incremental non-labor expenses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires incurred from August 8, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The approval pertains only to deferred cost treatment for expenses that are not already part of base rates; any actual recovery of deferred costs will be the subject of a separate application(s).
As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $80.5 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 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 asset related to retirement of generating units.
Honolulu generating units 8 and 9. On December 22, 2023, the PUC issued a decision and order (D&O) 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 December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $23.4 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 D&O 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 December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $12.7 million in regulatory assets for the remaining net book value of Waiau generating units 3 and 4.
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 December 31, 2025, the Utilities’ regulatory liability was $11.6 million (nil for Hawaiian Electric, $4.7 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) reports on the achieved benefits savings.
Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs. In a D&O 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 up to $8.7 million evenly over a three-year recovery period from June 1, 2024 and ending May 31, 2027 through the Z-factor in the ARA. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have $3.6 million remaining 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, 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 March 7, 2026 (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. On December 23, 2025, the PUC revised the notice of financial change reporting requirement (item v above) to apply only to the Utilities.
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 December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $5.4 million in regulatory assets for the incremental costs incurred due to the suspension of disconnections.
Regulatory assets for Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP). On December 31, 2025, the PUC approved the Utilities’ 2025-2027 WMP (also referred to as the Utilities’ 2025-2027 Wildfire Safety Strategy or 2025-2027 WSS). The Utilities’ 2025-2027 WMP is a three-year action plan that targets a 70% reduction wildfire risk associated with utility infrastructure. The approval of the 2025-2027 WMP, however, does not constitute approval of cost recovery for any WMP-related costs. The Utilities’ request for cost recovery is currently under review by the PUC in a separate proceeding. On January 14, 2026, the PUC issued an order authorizing deferred accounting treatment for the Utilities’ O&M expenses incurred between June and December 2025 (2025 O&M expenses) to implement their WMP. Accordingly, the Utilities established a regulatory asset account, and as of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded $9.6 million in regulatory assets for the deferral of the 2025 O&M expenses to implement the WMP. Recovery of the Utilities’ 2025 O&M expenses are currently under PUC review in the EPRM cost recovery proceeding.
Regulatory liability restoration/remediation. The Utilities have received insurance proceeds related to damaged utility properties and environmental remediation. As the proceeds represent the obligations to use the current collections of insurance proceeds for future costs, the Utilities classify such obligations as regulatory liability. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded a regulatory liability of $11.1 million.
Major customers.  The Utilities received 11% ($344 million), 11% ($369 million) and 12% ($376 million) of their operating revenues from the sale of electricity to various federal government agencies in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cumulative preferred stock redemption. On October 15, 2025, the Utilities redeemed all of their issued and outstanding cumulative preferred stock for a total of $35.3 million. The cumulative preferred stock of each series was redeemed with its respective premiums, if applicable. Dividends on the cumulative preferred stock ceased to accrue on October 15, 2025. Upon redemption, all rights of the preferred stock holders ceased to exist, except for the right to payment of the redemption price. The loss on redemption of cumulative preferred stock was $1.8 million.

Related-party transactions. HEI charged the Utilities $6.2 million, $5.5 million and $5.2 million for general management and administrative services in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amounts charged by HEI to its subsidiaries for services provided by HEI employees are allocated primarily on the basis of time expended in providing such services.
In 2025, 2024 and 2023, Hamakua Energy (an indirect subsidiary of HEI) sold energy and capacity to Hawaii Electric Light (subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric and indirect subsidiary of HEI) under a power purchase agreement (PPA) in the amount of $7 million, $35 million and $71 million, respectively. On March 10, 2025, the sale of Hamakua Energy was closed and Hamakua Energy is no longer owned by Pacific Current.
Hawaiian Electric’s short-term borrowings from HEI totaled nil at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Borrowings among the Utilities are eliminated in consolidation. Interest charged by HEI to Hawaiian Electric was nil for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Consolidated variable interest entities. The HE AR INTER LLC and its direct subsidiary, HE AR BRWR LLC, (collectively, the Special Purpose Entities or 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 sell certain accounts receivable to the SPEs as collateral, which in turn, obtain financing from financial institutions. As of December 31, 2025, the ABL Facility remains undrawn and the SPEs have $317.8 million of net accounts receivable, included in “Customer accounts receivable, net,” and “Accrued unbilled revenues, net,” on the Utilities’ Consolidated Balance Sheets and “Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net,” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 December 31, 2025, the Utilities had four 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 the two 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 the two 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 their consolidated financial statements. On March 10, 2025, the sale of Hamakua Energy was closed and Hamakua Energy is no longer owned by Pacific Current. Hamakua Energy was an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current and was included in HEI’s 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 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, HEI assigned 60% of the membership interests of GLST1 to Hawaiian Electric. The Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in GLST1 but concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of GLST1. As the Utilities have the ability to exercise significant influence over GLST1, the Utilities accounted for the membership interests under the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2025, the assigned equity interests total $287.3 million, which is reported on “Investment in unconsolidated affiliate” on the Utilities’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 (D&O) 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 add three new proposed defendants. The court issued a D&O 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 Hawaii Electric Light’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.
On December 24, 2024, Hawaii Electric Light received correspondence from Hu Honua, stating that Hu Honua sought to sell energy and capacity as a Qualifying Facility under Hawaii’s implementation of The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act. On March 18, 2025, Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua informed the PUC that negotiations regarding this potential
arrangement were ongoing with the intention to reach agreement on material terms and requested an extension of time to complete negotiations and for Hawaii Electric Light to submit a petition for hearing under the Hawaii Administrative Rules. On June 3, 2025, Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua provided an update to the PUC stating that substantial progress had been made and an agreement in principle had been reached on major terms. The update informed the PUC that the parties would continue negotiations with the intent to submit an application for approval of a PPA upon completion of such efforts.
On May 14, 2025, Hu Honua filed its notice of appeal in federal Ninth Circuit court. Due to the ongoing negotiations between Hu Honua and Hawaii Electric Light, the briefing schedule has been vacated. On November 10, 2025, Hu Honua provided a status report to the Ninth Circuit court, informing the court that the parties are making progress toward a final PPA and asking that the administrative closure remain in place for an additional six months. On November 13, 2025, the Ninth Circuit court extended the administrative closure until February 13, 2026, and asked for another status report by that date. The court noted that at any time before that date, any party may request that the appeal be reopened.
On May 16, 2025, Hu Honua filed its complaint in state court for the remaining State claims. Hu Honua has granted Hawaii Electric Light an open-ended extension to answer or otherwise respond to the State complaint while negotiations are ongoing. The State court ordered a scheduling conference for August 12, 2025, which was subsequently postponed to July 7, 2026, to allow the parties to continue ongoing settlement discussions.
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 U.S. 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. Trial was initially set to commence on September 16, 2025, was continued to February 18, 2026 and is now set to begin November 13, 2026.
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 December 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 December 31, 2025, the reserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $9.7 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. The Utilities received a 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 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. On July 3, 2025, an interim agreement was executed by the parties with respect to foregoing the need for injunctive relief in 2025. However, the Utilities are unable to determine the ultimate outcome or the amount of any possible loss. A trial is set for April 20, 2026.
Commitments.
Purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities’ estimated future minimum payments pursuant to purchase obligations related to material contracts for the following five years and thereafter are as follows:

Firm capacity PPAs. The Utilities are committed to purchase from four firm capacity PPAs for a total of 368.7 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity, which expire at various dates through 2033.
Renewable dispatchable generation plug energy storage and energy storage PPAs. The Utilities also have long-term renewable PPAs with IPPs from the issuances of Stage 1 and 2 renewable projects. The Utilities have additional annual payments of $25 million when two projects began commercial operations in 2025. As of December 31, 2025, a total of nine projects provides the Utilities capacity of 301.5 MW, with 1,771 MWh batteries. The contracts expire at various dates through 2050.
Other renewable PPA. The Utilities also have a long-term renewable PPA that provides the Utilities capacity of 10.56 MW, which expires in 2046.
Fuel transportation lease contract. The Utilities entered into an inter-island fuel transportation contract, expiring in 2027.
Purchased power expense and recovery. The PUC has approved PPACs for the Utilities to recover purchased power capacity, operation and maintenance (O&M) and other non-energy costs related to all aforementioned PPAs. In addition, the Utilities are able to recover fuel component of the energy charges for firm capacity PPAs as well as costs associated to fuel transportation through ECRC.
In general, the Utilities base their payments under the PPAs upon available capacity and actual energy supplied and they are generally not required to make payments for capacity if the contracted capacity is not available, and payments are reduced, under certain conditions, if available capacity drops below contracted levels. In general, the payment rates for capacity have been predetermined for the terms of the agreements. The Utilities do not operate, or participate in the operation of, any of the facilities that provide power under the agreements. Title to the facilities does not pass to Hawaiian Electric or its subsidiaries upon expiration of the agreements, and the agreements do not contain bargain purchase options for the facilities.

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. Project costs incurred as of December 31, 2025 amount to $20.0 million. In July 2025, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to authorize recovery of costs in addition to the amounts approved in December 2023 due to the uncertainty of changes in law, limited to the lesser of either the actual costs or 20% over the approved estimated capital costs.
Climate Adaptation Transmission and Distribution Resilience Program. The Utilities maintain that improving resiliency of the electric grid is an urgent matter and recognizes that evolving climate dynamics are 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 of five 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 Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism 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 their 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 December 31, 2025 amount to $36.3 million.
In 2025, President Trump has issued multiple executive orders that impact federal funding. The Utilities continue to monitor for any new executive orders and any changes that are passed down through the federal contracting officer for the Resilience Program.
Asset retirement obligations.  Asset retirement obligations (AROs) represent legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain tangible long-lived assets, are measured as the present value of the projected costs for the future retirement of specific assets and are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Utilities’ recognition of AROs have no impact on their earnings. The cost of the AROs is recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by the Utilities relate to legal obligations associated with the retirement of plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
The Utilities recorded AROs related to: 1) the removal of retired generating units, certain types of transformers and underground storage tanks; 2) the abandonment of fuel pipelines, underground injection and supply wells; and 3) the removal of equipment and restoration of leased land used in connection with Utility-owned renewable and dispatchable generation facilities. 
Changes to the ARO liability included in “Other liabilities” on Hawaiian Electric’s balance sheet were as follows:

Accretion expense506 484 
Liabilities incurred— —

Balance, December 31$12,995 $12,492 
The Utilities have not recorded AROs for assets that are expected to operate indefinitely or where the Utilities cannot estimate a settlement date (or range of potential settlement dates). As such, ARO liabilities are not recorded for certain asset retirement activities, including various Utilities-owned generating facilities and certain electric transmission, distribution and telecommunications assets resulting from easements over property not owned by the Utilities.
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 continue as previously implemented (e.g., the Energy Cost Recovery Clause (ECRC), 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 return on average common equity (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 (PBR Framework Review). The PBR Framework implemented a five-year multi-year rate period (MRP), during which there will be no general rate case applications. The current 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 implementation details that may arise ahead of MRP2. The PBR Framework Review, currently regarded as the remaining phases will proceed as follows: (i) Phase 5: the evaluation of the current PBR Framework, (ii) Phase 6: the examination of proposal for modifications to the PBR Framework, and (iii) Phase 7: the implementation of modifications prior to MRP2 commencement. PBR working group meetings were held in 2024 which 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 re-base 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. Timely opening and reply briefs were filed by the parties on May 5, 2025 and on May 19, 2025, respectively. On August 13, 2025, the PUC issued an order concluding Phase 5, identifying which specific PBR
mechanisms would be prioritized for examination in Phase 6, and provided a tentative schedule framework for Phase 6. The PUC stated that it intends to focus Phase 6 on examining modifications to the inflation factor, customer dividend, ESM, revenue opportunities afforded by the X-Factor and EPRM guidelines, and PIMs portfolio.
On August 28, 2025, the Utilities filed a request to extend the time to file a rate case in order to allow collaboration among the PBR working group parties on an alternative rate re-basing proposal that could eliminate the need for a general rate case application and process. Confirmation was also sought that if a non-rate case re-basing proposal is explored but does not result in a proposal supported by the Utilities, they could file a rate case in the second half of 2026 utilizing a 2027 test year. On September 29, 2025, the PUC granted the Utilities’ request, subject to conditions: including (i) the Utilities are not expected to file their re-basing application by year-end 2025, as originally scheduled, (ii) the Utilities shall collaborate with the parties to attempt to develop an alternative proposal for submission to the PUC no later than January 7, 2026, (iii) if any party opposes or does not agree with any submitted alternative proposal, they shall file a statement describing their opposition and the reasons by January 14, 2026, (iv) if the parties are unsuccessful at developing an alternative proposal or if the PUC ultimately rejects any submitted alternative proposal, the Utilities shall file their re-basing application in the second half of 2026, using a 2027 test year and (v) depending on outcome, the PUC may defer the start of MRP2 beyond January 2027.
On December 8, 2025, the Utilities, together with support from certain PBR parties, filed a request to extend the time to submit the alternative rate re-basing proposal by 30 days to February 6, 2026, with a corresponding extension to February 13, 2026, for statements from any party who opposes or does not agree with any submitted alternative proposal describing their opposition and the reasons. On December 16, 2025, the PUC granted the Utilities’ request to extend the deadline for the submission of an alternative re-basing proposal from January 7, 2026 to February 6, 2026 and affirmed (i) that any proposal submitted by this deadline must comport with the PUC’s prior guidance, (ii) if the parties are unsuccessful at developing an alternative proposal for the PUC’s review or if the PUC ultimately rejects any submitted alternative proposal, the Utilities shall resume work on their re-basing application utilizing a 2027 test year and file the re-basing application in the second half of 2026. The PUC correspondingly modified the deadline for parties to submit a statement of opposition to any alternative proposal from January 14, 2026 to February 13, 2026.
On January 28, 2026, the Utilities requested a final extension to file the alternative PBR re-basing proposal on May 7, 2026 to allow for additional time for the working group parties to develop PIMs and other PBR framework modifications. On February 12, 2026, the Utilities filed a written update with the PUC, which explained that the additional time requested will allow the parties to explore re-basing and consideration of other PBR Framework modifications in a more synchronized manner, streamline Phase 6 and potentially save time and resources for both the PUC and parties. On February 24, 2026, the PUC granted in part the Utilities’ extension request, extending the deadline to submit an alternative re-basing proposal to March 6, 2026, to allow the PUC to promptly proceed with its review of the re-basing proposal. The PUC also extended the deadline for parties to submit any opposition to the alternative re-basing proposal to March 13, 2026. The PUC confirmed that it will resume Phase 6 following resolution of the alternative re-basing proposal.
Annual revenue adjustment mechanism. The PBR Framework established a five-year MRP during which there will be no general rate cases. Target revenues are 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 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 (i.e., above 12.5% or below 6.5%). 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 continues 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 other operation and maintenance (O&M) expense projects are also eligible for EPRM recovery under the EPRM Guidelines. EPRM recoverable costs are limited to the lesser of actual incurred project costs or the PUC-approved amounts, net of savings.
As of December 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 Phase 1 project ($14.1 million), Waiawa UFLS project ($0.1 million), Waena Switchyard/Synchronous project ($2.5 million) and Resilience project ($0.3 million) that included the return on project amount (based on approved amounts) in rate base, depreciation and/or incremental O&M expenses. The PUC approved the Utilities’ recovery of the annualized 2025 MPIR and EPRM revenues effective June 1, 2025 through the RBA rate adjustment.
As of December 31, 2025, the PUC approved the recovery of four EPRM projects in the amount of $227.5 million to the extent the project costs are not included in rates. Currently, the Utilities are seeking EPRM recovery for three 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 (i.e., 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 project costs including revenue taxes for the Utilities total approximately $1.3 million, $2.1 million and $3.0 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 2025 pilot project costs will be included in the Utilities’ proposed adjustments to target revenue, which will be reflected in the 2026 spring revenue report filling.
On October 6, 2025, the PUC issued a decision approving the Utilities’ Wildfire Enhanced Fast Trip Reliability Mitigation Pilot, subject to certain reporting conditions. The purpose of the pilot is to test the ability of novel equipment and protection schemes to mitigate the negative reliability impacts caused by the implementation of Enhanced Fast Trip, while preserving the effectiveness of Enhanced Fast Trip in reducing wildfire ignition risk. The pilot commenced at the end of October 2025 with a planned duration of approximately 17 months.
Performance incentive mechanisms. The following PIMs and SSMs were approved by the PUC and are applicable to the 2024 and 2025 evaluation periods. PIMs and SSMs are determined at the end of their respective evaluation periods. Unless otherwise specified, the evaluation period is the 12‑month calendar year period ending December 31 over which measured performance is determined.

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, and 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. Separately, the Utilities submitted a request on December 16, 2025 to expand the suspension of T&D SAIDI and T&D SAIFI PIMs to all circuits and extend the suspension to December 31, 2026, to consider modifications to the T&D SAIDI and T&D SAIFI PIMs. On December 26, 2025, the PUC established a procedural schedule for the request. The PUC stated that while the Utilities’ request is pending, the PUC will extend the suspension that is currently in place beyond December 31, 2025, until the PUC issues an Order addressing the request.
For the 2025 evaluation period, the Utilities accrued $7.5 million (nil for Hawaiian Electric, $5.4 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $2.1 million for Maui Electric) in rewards net of penalties. The net rewards related to 2025 will be reflected in the 2026 PIMs annual report and 2026 spring revenue report filings with the exception of the Phase 1 RFP PIM which was reflected in the 2025 fall revenue report filing.
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. On December 12, 2025, the PUC approved the Utilities’ 2025 fall revenue report filed on October 31, 2025. The filing reflected ARA revenues for 2026 to be collected from January 1 through December 31, 2026, as follows:

Note 5. Discontinued operations
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 repay a ratable portion of each of HEI’s senior notes in April 2025.
The sale of ASB met the accounting requirements to be disclosed as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of ASB, including the loss on the ASB sale, are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income and cash flows, and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the 2024 and 2023 periods presented.
The Company recorded a net loss on the sale transaction amounting to $115.8 million, which is net of a $2.4 million tax benefit, and is included in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The tax benefit includes a valuation allowance of $66.4 million recorded against the related deferred tax assets generated in connection with the sale transaction as it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 13. A summary of the ASB sale transaction as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:

Note 6 · Short-term borrowings
Commercial paper and other. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had no commercial paper outstanding.
As of December 31, 2025, HEI had no letters of credit outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, HEI had four undrawn letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $6 million, on behalf of Mauo and Hamakua Energy.
Credit agreements.
Syndicated credit agreements. On September 5, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a fourth amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the HEI Facility and the Hawaiian Electric Facility, respectively, and together, the Credit Facilities) with a syndicate of eight financial institutions. The aggregate amount of revolving commitments under the HEI Facility was increased to $300 million from $175 million and includes a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $30 million swingline sub-facility. The HEI Facility’s commitment termination date was extended to September 5, 2030 from May 14, 2027. The aggregate amount of revolving commitments available under the Hawaiian Electric Facility was increased to $300 million from $200 million and includes a $40 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $30 million swingline sub-facility. The Hawaiian Electric Facility’s term was extended to September 4, 2026, subject to an automatic extension to the earlier of (i) such date specified in a final order or approval of the PUC and (ii) if such order or approval is obtained, September 5, 2030. The Hawaiian Electric Facility also allows for commitment increases of up to an additional $75 million, subject to customary conditions. None of the facilities are collateralized. As of December 31, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had $20 million and nil drawn on its revolving facility, respectively.
Under the Credit Facilities, draws generally bear interest, based on each company’s respective current long-term credit ratings, at the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate,” as defined in the Credit Facilities, plus 250.0 and 225.0 basis points for HEI and Hawaiian Electric, respectively, and incur annual fees on undrawn commitments, excluding swingline borrowings, at the rate of 45.0 and 40.0 basis points for HEI and Hawaiian Electric, respectively.
Additionally, the Credit Facilities contain provisions for pricing adjustments in the event of a long-term ratings change based on the respective facility’s ratings-based pricing grid, which includes the ratings by Fitch, Moody’s and S&P. The Credit Facilities do not contain clauses that would affect access to the Credit Facilities by reason of a ratings downgrade, nor do they have broad “material adverse change” clauses.
The Credit Facilities also include terms and conditions customary for facilities of this type and contain customary conditions that must be met in order to draw on them, including compliance with covenants (such as covenants preventing HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s respective subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of such subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HEI or Hawaiian Electric, as applicable; and a covenant in Hawaiian Electric’s Facility restricting Hawaiian Electric’s ability, as well as the ability of any of its subsidiaries, to guarantee additional indebtedness of the subsidiaries if such additional debt would cause the subsidiary’s “Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio” (as defined in the Hawaiian Electric Facility) to exceed 65%).
Under the HEI Facility, it is an event of default if HEI fails to maintain an unconsolidated “Capitalization Ratio” (funded debt) (as defined in the HEI Facility) of 50% or less or if HEI sells Hawaiian Electric. Under the Hawaiian Electric Facility, it is an event of default if Hawaiian Electric fails to maintain a “Consolidated Capitalization Ratio” (equity) (as defined in the Hawaiian Electric Facility) of at least 35%, or if Hawaiian Electric is no longer owned by HEI.
Intercompany borrowing agreement. Under the HEI and Hawaiian Electric Intercompany Borrowing and Investment Policy effective January 1, 2020 (the Intercompany Borrowing Policy), HEI has committed to make revolving short-term loans to Hawaiian Electric pursuant to the terms set forth in the standing commitment letter dated December 5, 2025 (the 2025 Commitment Letter). For loans that mature on or before December 4, 2026, the 2025 Commitment Letter provides a borrowing limit of $75 million outstanding at any time and the applicable interest rate. Hawaiian Electric currently has no borrowings under the Intercompany Borrowing Policy and the 2025 Commitment Letter.
Asset-based lending facility credit agreement. On May 17, 2024, Hawaiian Electric, through a special-purpose subsidiary, entered into an ABL Facility credit agreement (ABL Credit Facility Agreement) with several banks, which, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such agreement, including approval by the PUC, allows borrowings of up to $250 million on a revolving basis using certain accounts receivable as collateral. Hawaiian Electric filed an application with the PUC for approval to (i) sell accounts receivable, and (ii) establish a long-term credit facility. The first approval would allow the ABL Credit Facility Agreement to become effective for 364 days and the second approval would extend the term of the ABL Credit Facility Agreement from 364 days to three years. The ABL Credit Facility Agreement has an initial term of 364 days, with an automatic extension to three years upon receipt of the second PUC approval, with three separate options to extend one
additional year, subject to the consent of the lenders. Hawaiian Electric received the first and second approvals from the PUC for the ABL Credit Facility Agreement that allows short-term and long-term borrowings of up to $250 million on June 27, 2024 and October 11, 2024, respectively, subject to the availability of a sufficient borrowing base of eligible receivables. The ABL Facility became effective on July 24, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, total available capacity under the ABL Facility was $240 million and remains undrawn.

The HEI senior notes contain customary representation and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (the occurrence of which may result in some or all of the notes then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable). The HEI senior notes also contain provisions requiring the maintenance by HEI of certain financial ratios generally consistent with those in HEI’s revolving unsecured credit facility, as amended. Upon a change of control or certain dispositions of assets (as defined in the note purchase agreements of the senior notes), HEI is required to offer to prepay the senior notes.
The Utilities’ senior notes contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default (the occurrence of which may result in some or all of the notes of each and all of the utilities then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable) and provisions requiring the maintenance by Hawaiian Electric, and each of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, of certain financial ratios generally consistent with those in Hawaiian Electric’s existing, amended revolving unsecured credit agreement.
Changes in long-term debt. As of December 31, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.
HEI and Hawaiian Electric’s Credit Facilities. See Note 6 for more information.
HEI senior notes. On April 9, 2025, pursuant to a March 5, 2025 offer tendered to, and accepted by, each holder of its outstanding senior notes issued pursuant to a series of six separate note purchase agreements, HEI repaid a ratable portion of each note using the net cash proceeds from the sale of ASB amounting to $384 million, together with interest accrued amounting to $5 million.
Hawaiian Electric notes. On September 18, 2025, pursuant to the July 24, 2025 PUC approval, Hawaiian Electric issued $500 million in unsecured senior notes with an interest rate of 6.00% (2025 Notes). The 2025 Notes will mature on October 1, 2033. Hawaiian Electric may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to October 1, 2028 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” amount set forth in the agreement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. On or after October 1, 2028, Hawaiian Electric may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the agreement plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The 2025 Notes contain certain restrictive financial covenants that are substantially the same as the financial covenants of the Utilities’ other unsecured senior notes.
Mahipapa non-recourse loan. In March 2024, a fire destroyed the cooling tower at the Mahipapa facility on Kauai. The fire was ignited from a vendor’s welding activities being performed on the cooling tower during its scheduled maintenance. As a result, the lender granted Mahipapa a deferral of scheduled principal and interest payments March 2024 through December 2025 totaling $10 million. The deferred payments will be repaid in March 2026. The facility was restarted in December 2024. Mahipapa’s non-recourse loans amounting to $54 million as of December 31, 2025, are classified as “Liabilities held for sale” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9 · Leases
The Company leases certain real estate and equipment for various terms under long-term lease agreements. The agreements expire at various dates through 2054 and provide for renewal options up to 10 years. The periods associated with the renewal options are excluded for the purpose of determining the lease term unless the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain. In the normal course of business, it is expected that many of these agreements will be replaced by similar agreements. Certain real estate leases require the Company to pay for operating expenses such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, which are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of its leases that qualify, and accordingly, does not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for all leases that have lease terms that are 12 months or less. The amounts related to short-term leases are not material. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate and equipment and fossil fuel and renewable energy PPAs and to separate lease components from non-lease components for renewable energy plus battery storage PPAs.
The Utilities contract with independent power producers to supply energy under long-term power purchase agreements. Certain PPAs are treated as operating leases under the lease standard because the Company elected the practical expedient package under which prior conclusions about lease identification were not reassessed. The fixed capacity payments under the PPAs are included in the lease liability, while the variable lease payments (e.g., payments based on kWh) are excluded from the lease liability. Several as-available PPAs have variable-only payment terms based on production. For PPAs with no minimum lease payments, the Utilities do not recognize any lease liabilities or ROU assets, and the related costs are reported as variable lease costs.
The Utilities’ lease payments for each operating lease agreement were discounted using its estimated unsecured borrowing rates for the appropriate term, reduced for the estimated impact of collateral, which is a reduction of approximately 50 basis points.
The Utilities account for the battery portion of renewable energy plus storage and energy storage PPAs as leases at their commencement dates. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities recognized additional finance lease liabilities with corresponding ROU assets of $92.4 million, including Hale Kuawehi and Hoohana Solar project that began commercial operations during the year. The timing of the Utilities’ recognition of the expense conforms to ratemaking treatment for the Utilities’ recovery of the cost of electricity and is included in purchased power for the interest and amortization of financing leases related to PPAs. Any material differences between expense recognition and timing of payments are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability in order to match what is being recovered for ratemaking purposes.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenues
Note 10 · Revenues
Revenue from contracts with customers. The revenues subject to ASC Topic 606 include the Utilities’ electric energy sales revenue as further described below.
Electric utilities.
Electric energy sales. Electric energy sales represent revenues from the generation and transmission of electricity to customers under tariffs approved by the PUC. Transaction pricing for electricity is determined and approved by the PUC for each rate class and includes revenues from the base electric charges, which are composed of (1) the customer, demand, energy, and minimum charges, and (2) the power factor, service voltage, and other adjustments as provided in each rate and rate rider schedule. Electric energy sales also represent contract rate charge from the generation and transmission of electricity to the Army. The monthly pricing is recalculated on an annual basis based on actual costs, approved by the Army.
The Utilities satisfy performance obligations of electric energy sales over time, i.e., the Utilities generate and transfer control of the electricity over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Utilities’ performance. Payments from customers are generally due within 30 days from the end of the billing period. As electric bills to customers reflect the amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Utilities’ performance to date, the Utilities have elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient, which entitles them to recognize revenue in the amount they have the right to invoice.
The Utilities’ revenues include amounts for recovery of various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the year the related revenues are recognized. For 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Utilities’ revenues include recovery of revenue taxes of approximately $273 million, $285 million and $291 million, respectively, which amounts are in “Taxes, other than income taxes” expense. However, the Utilities pay revenue taxes to the taxing authorities based on (1) the prior year’s billed revenues (in the case of public service company taxes and PUC fees) in the current year or (2) the current year’s cash collections from electric sales (in the case of franchise taxes) after year end. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utilities had recorded $169 million and $178 million, respectively, in “Taxes accrued, including revenue taxes” on the Utilities’ consolidated balance sheet for amounts previously collected from customers or accrued for public service company taxes and PUC fees, net of amounts paid to the taxing authorities. Such amounts will be used to pay public service company taxes and PUC fees owed for the following year.
All Other.
All Other sales. Other sales primarily consist of revenues from the generation and sale of renewable energy at fixed contractual prices per kWh to customers under power purchase agreements by Pacific Current subsidiaries. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as renewable energy is generated and control is transferred to the customer that simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. Payments from customers are generally due within 30 days from the end of the billing period. The bill to customers reflects the amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance to date. Pacific Current has elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient, which entitles it to recognize revenue in the amount they have the right to invoice.
Revenues from other sources. Revenues from other sources not subject to ASC Topic 606 are accounted for as follows:
Electric utilities.
Regulatory revenues. Regulatory revenues primarily consist of revenues from the decoupling mechanism and cost recovery surcharges.
Decoupling mechanism - Under the current decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover or obligated to refund the difference between actual revenue and the target revenue as determined by the PUC, collect annual revenue adjustment mechanism (ARA) and exceptional project recovery mechanism revenues, and recover or refund performance incentive mechanism penalties or rewards. These adjustments will be reflected in tariffs in future periods. Under the PBR framework, the accrued RBA revenues as of the preceding September 30 balance and the annual ARA amount are billed from January 1 through December 31 of each year, which is within 24 months following the end of the year in which they are recorded as required by the accounting standard for alternative revenue programs (see “Regulatory proceedings” in Note 4).
Cost recovery surcharges - For the timely recovery of additional costs incurred, and reconciliation of costs and expenses included in tariffed rates, the Utilities recognize revenues under surcharge mechanisms approved by the PUC. These will be reflected in tariffs in future periods (e.g., ECRC and PPAC).
Since revenue adjustments discussed above resulted from either agreements with the PUC or change in tax law, rather than contracts with customers, they are not subject to the scope of ASC Topic 606. Also, see Notes 1, 4 and 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Utilities have elected to present these revenue adjustments on a gross basis, which results in the amounts being billed to customers presented in revenues from contracts with customers and the amortization of the related regulatory asset/liability as revenues from other sources. Depending on whether the previous deferral balance being amortized was a regulatory asset or regulatory liability, and depending on the size and direction of the current year deferral of surcharges and/or refunds to customers, it could result in negative regulatory revenue during the year.
Utility pole attachment fees. These fees primarily represent revenues from third-party companies for their access to and shared use of Utilities-owned poles through licensing agreements. As the shared portion of the utility pole is functionally dependent on the rest of the structure, no distinct goods appear to exist. Therefore, these fees are not subject to the scope of ASC Topic 606, but recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Other Income.
Army privatization extraordinary O&M (EOM) fees. The monthly EOM fee provides the recovery of the incremental extraordinary O&M costs not covered under the standard utility services. The nature of the work related to transitional period revenue and monthly EOM fees do not represent the Utilities’ ongoing major or central operations (i.e., generating, and transmission and distribution of electricity) and is provided specifically for the arrangement between the Utilities and the Army. Therefore, these revenues are not subject to the scope of ASC Topic 606, but recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Other Income.

There are no material contract assets or liabilities associated with revenues from contracts with customers existing at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues related to contracts with customers represent an unconditional right to consideration since all performance obligations have been satisfied. These amounts are disclosed as “Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net” on HEI’s consolidated balance sheets and “Customer accounts receivable, net” and “Accrued unbilled revenues, net” on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no material remaining performance obligations due to the nature of the Company’s contracts with its customers. For the Utilities, performance obligations are fulfilled as electricity is delivered to customers.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Retirement benefits
Note 11 · Retirement benefits
ASB benefit obligation. As a result of the ASB sale transaction on December 31, 2024, the Company is no longer required to recognize the contractual obligations of ASB retirement plans. Accordingly, ASB’s benefit obligation and AOCI are presented as discontinued operations in the table below. Unless otherwise noted, references within the retirement benefit footnote exclude discontinued operations.
Defined benefit plans. Substantially all of the employees of HEI and the Utilities hired on or before December 31, 2021, participate in the Retirement Plan for Employees of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Participating Subsidiaries (HEI Pension Plan). The HEI Pension Plan (the Plan) was closed to new employees first hired on or after January 1, 2022. The Plan is a qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan and includes benefits for utility union employees determined in accordance with the terms of the collective bargaining agreements between the Utilities and the union. The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA. In addition, some current and former executives and directors of HEI and its subsidiaries participate in noncontributory, nonqualified plans (collectively, Supplemental Plans). In general, benefits are based on the employees’ or directors’ years of service and compensation.
The continuation of the Plan and the Supplemental Plans and the payment of any contribution thereunder are not assumed as contractual obligations by the participating employers. The Supplemental Plan for directors has been frozen since 1996. The HEI Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, Disability, and Death Benefit Plan (noncontributory, nonqualified, defined benefit plans) were frozen as of December 31, 2008. No participants have accrued any benefits under these plans after the respective plan’s freeze and the plans will be terminated at the time all remaining benefits have been paid.
The participating employer reserves the right to terminate its participation in the applicable plans at any time, and HEI reserves the right to terminate its plans at any time. If a participating employer terminates its participation in the Plan, the interest of each affected participant would become 100% vested to the extent funded. Upon the termination of the Plan, assets would be distributed to affected participants in accordance with the applicable allocation provisions of ERISA and any excess assets that exist would be paid to the participating employers. Participants’ benefits in the Plan are covered up to certain limits under insurance provided by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
Postretirement benefits other than pensions.  HEI and the Utilities provide eligible employees health and life insurance benefits upon retirement under the Postretirement Welfare Benefits Plan for Employees of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and participating employers (Hawaiian Electric Benefits Plan). Eligibility of employees and dependents is based on eligibility to retire at termination, the retirement date and the date of hire. The plan was amended in 2011, changing eligibility for certain bargaining unit employees hired prior to May 1, 2011, based on new minimum age and service requirements effective January 1, 2012, per the collective bargaining agreement, and certain management employees hired prior to May 1, 2011 based on new eligibility minimum age and service requirements effective January 1, 2012. The minimum age and service requirements for management and bargaining unit employees hired May 1, 2011 and thereafter have increased and their dependents are not eligible to receive postretirement benefits. Employees may be eligible to receive benefits from the HEI Pension Plan but may not be eligible for postretirement welfare benefits if the different eligibility requirements are not met.
The executive death benefit plan was frozen on September 10, 2009 for participants at benefit levels as of that date.
The Company’s and Utilities’ cost for OPEB has been adjusted to reflect the plan amendments, which reduced benefits and created prior service credits to be amortized over average future service of affected participants. The amortization of the prior service credit will reduce benefit costs until the various credit bases are fully recognized. Each participating employer reserves the right to terminate its participation in the Hawaiian Electric Benefits Plan at any time.
Balance sheet recognition of the funded status of retirement plans.  Employers must recognize on their balance sheets the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans with an offset to AOCI in shareholders’ equity (using the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO), to calculate the funded status).
The PUC allowed the Utilities to adopt pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms in previous rate cases. The amount of the net periodic pension cost (NPPC) and net periodic benefits costs (NPBC) to be recovered in rates is established by the PUC in each rate case or as allowed under the PBR Framework (see “Regulatory proceedings” in Note 4). Under the Utilities’ 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. Accordingly, all retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses, which amounted to $1.0 million and $0.9 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively) determined in accordance with GAAP will be recovered.
Under the tracking mechanisms, amounts that would otherwise be recorded in AOCI (excluding amounts for executive life and nonqualified pension plans), net of taxes, as well as other pension and OPEB charges, are allowed to be reclassified as a regulatory asset, as those costs will be recovered in rates through the NPPC and NPBC in the future. The Utilities have reclassified to a regulatory asset/(liability) charges for retirement benefits that would otherwise be recorded in AOCI (amounting to the elimination of a potential adjustment to AOCI of $(100.2) million pretax and $(85.8) million pretax for 2025 and 2024, respectively).
Under the pension tracking mechanism, the Utilities are required to make contributions to the pension trust in the amount of the actuarially calculated NPPC, except when limited by the ERISA minimum contribution requirements or the maximum contributions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions in excess of the calculated NPPC are recorded in a separate regulatory asset.
The OPEB tracking mechanisms generally require the Utilities to make contributions to the OPEB trust in the amount of the actuarially calculated NPBC, (excluding amounts for executive life), except when limited by material, adverse consequences imposed by federal regulations. Future decisions in rate cases could further impact funding amounts.
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information.  The changes in the obligations and assets of the Company’s and Utilities’ retirement benefit plans and the changes in AOCI (gross) for 2025 and 2024 and the funded status of these plans and amounts related to these plans reflected in the Company’s and Utilities’ consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Pension benefits. In 2025, the actual return on plan assets, offset by actuarial loss due to demographic experience, including any assumption changes, further improved the funded position.
In 2024, actuarial gains due to demographic experience, including any assumption changes, improved the funded position, offset by losses on the actual return on plan assets. The most impactful assumption change was the increase in the discount rate used to measure PBO compared to the prior year. Investment returns that were less than assumed partially offset the gain from the discount rate change.
Other benefits. In 2025, the actual return on plan assets and the actuarial gains due to demographic experience, including any assumption changes, further improved the funded position. The most impactful assumption change was the expected future claims costs increasing less than expected.
In 2024, actuarial gains due to demographic experience, including any assumption changes, improved the funded position. The most impactful assumption change was the increase in the discount rate used to measure APBO compared to the prior year. In addition, investment returns that were better than expected, medical claims increases that were less than expected, and demographic experience further improved the funded position.
The dates used to determine retirement benefit measurements for the defined benefit plans and OPEB were December 31 of 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company uses the fair value method for the plans’ fixed income securities in the calculation of the expected return on plan assets component of NPPC and NPBC. The remaining plan assets continue to use the calculated market-related value methodology. The Company considers the fair value approach to be preferable for its fixed-income securities portfolio because it results in a current reflection of the changes in the value of plan assets in a way similar to the obligations it is intended to hedge. Amounts related to the Utilities were reflected as adjustments to regulatory assets as appropriate, consistent with the expected regulatory treatment as described in the following paragraph.
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.
A primary goal of the plans is to achieve long-term asset growth sufficient to pay future benefit obligations at a reasonable level of risk. The investment policy target for defined benefit pension and OPEB plans of HEI and the Utilities reflects the philosophy that long-term growth can best be achieved by prudent investments in equity securities while balancing overall fund and pension liability volatility by an appropriate allocation to fixed income securities. To reduce the level of portfolio risk and volatility in returns, efforts have been made to diversify the plans’ investments by asset class, geographic region, market capitalization and investment style.
The asset allocation of defined benefit retirement plans to equity and fixed income securities (excluding cash) and related investment policy targets and ranges were as follows:

The fair values of the investments shown in the tables below represent the Company’s best estimates of the amounts that would be received upon sale of those assets in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Those fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The Company used the following valuation methodologies for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Equity securities, equity index fund, exchange-traded funds and U.S. Treasury fixed income securities (Level 1) Equity securities, equity index fund, exchange-traded funds and U.S. Treasury fixed income securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities or funds are traded.
Fixed income securities (Level 2).  Fixed income, other than those issued by the U.S. Treasury, are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings.
Assets held in various trusts for the retirement benefit plans are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and were as follows:

The Company and the Utilities based their selection of an assumed discount rate for 2026 NPPC and NPBC and December 31, 2025 disclosure on a cash flow matching analysis that utilized bond information provided by Bloomberg for all high quality bonds (generally rated Aa or better) as of December 31, 2025. In selecting the expected rate of return on plan assets for 2026 NPPC and NPBC, HEI and the Utilities considered economic forecasts for the types of investments held by the plans (primarily equity and fixed income investments), the plans’ asset allocations, industry and corporate surveys and the past performance of the plans’ assets in selecting 7.25%. For 2025, retirement benefit plans’ assets of the Company and the Utilities both had a net gain of 14.0%.
As of December 31, 2025, the assumed health care trend rates for 2026 and future years were as follows: medical pre-65, 6.75% grading down to 5% for 2032 and thereafter; medical post-65, 6.25%, grading down to 5% for 2030 and thereafter; dental, 5%; and vision, 4%. As of December 31, 2024, the assumed health care trend rates for 2025 and future years were as follows: medical pre-65, 7% grading down to 5% for 2032 and thereafter; medical post-65, 6.5%, grading down to 5% for 2030 and thereafter; dental, 5%; and vision, 4%.

Share-based compensation
Note 12 · 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 nonemployee 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 December 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 1.2 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).
Restricted stock units awarded under the EIP in 2023 will vest and be issued in unrestricted stock in three equal annual increments on the anniversaries of the grant date and are forfeited to the extent they have not become vested for terminations of employment during the vesting period, except that pro-rata vesting is provided for terminations due to death, disability and retirement. Restricted stock units expense has been recognized in accordance with the fair-value-based measurement method of accounting. Dividend equivalent rights are accrued and are paid at the end of the restriction period when the associated restricted stock units vest.
Stock performance awards granted under the 2025-27, 2024-26 and 2023-25 long-term incentive plans (LTIP) entitle the grantee to shares of common stock with dividend equivalent rights once service conditions and performance conditions are satisfied at the end of the three-year performance period. LTIP awards are forfeited for terminations of employment during the performance period, except that pro-rata participation is provided for terminations due to death, disability and retirement based upon completed months of service after a minimum of 12 months of service in the performance period. Compensation expense for the stock performance awards portion of the LTIP has been recognized in accordance with the fair-value-based measurement method of accounting for performance shares.
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 December 31, 2025, there were 41,964 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2011 Director Plan. After all of the shares remaining under the 2011 Director Plan have been issued or reserved for issuance, nonemployee director grants of common stock will be made under the EIP, which was amended in 2024 to provide for nonemployee director grants.

For 2025, 2024 and 2023, total restricted stock units and related dividends that vested had a fair value of $0.5 million, $1.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and the related tax benefits were $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, there was $0.1 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 0.1 years.
Long-term incentive plan payable in stock.  The 2023-25, 2024-26 and 2025-27 LTIPs 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.

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 the three-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.

1     As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, HEI consolidated has deferred tax assets of $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, relating to the benefit of state tax credit carryforwards of $2.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively. These state tax credit carryforwards primarily relate to the West Loch PV project that do not expire.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Based upon historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not the Company and the Utilities will realize substantially all of the benefits of the deferred tax assets, excluding the capital loss from the sale of ASB. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits were $73.1 million and $73.5 million, respectively, recorded on HEI consolidated related to the capital loss from the sale of ASB and the book/tax difference in equity basis of retained ASB stock. Since capital losses can only be offset against capital gains, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit from ASB's capital loss will not be realized. This is due to the lack of expected capital gains and no tax strategies in place to generate capital gains before the loss expires. As a result, a valuation allowance was established. The Utilities are included in the consolidated federal
and Hawaii income tax returns of HEI and are subject to the provisions of HEI’s tax sharing agreement, which determines each subsidiary’s (or subgroup’s) income tax return liabilities and refunds on a standalone basis as if it filed a separate return (or subgroup consolidated return).
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits for 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The Company currently has no open Internal Revenue Service income tax audits. The Company was notified on January 12, 2026, that its Hawaii State income tax returns for tax years 2022 through 2024 were selected for audit.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $5.4 million and $5.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s and Utilities’ annual effective tax rate.
Based on information currently available, the Company and the Utilities believe these accruals have adequately provided for potential income tax issues with federal and state tax authorities, and that the ultimate resolution of tax issues for all open tax periods will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Tax years post 2021 remains open under Federal and Hawaii statues of limitations.
HEI consolidated. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest expense, net” and penalties, if any, in operating expenses. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.8 million, $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in interest expense. The Company had $3.1 million and $2.3 million of interest accrued as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Hawaiian Electric consolidated. The Utilities recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest expense and other charges, net” and penalties, if any, in operating expenses. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Utilities recognized approximately $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million in interest expense, respectively. The Utilities had $0.2 million and $0.1 million of interest accrued as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the disclosures above present the Company’s and the Utilities’ accruals for potential tax liabilities, which involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of the benefits being sustained under governmental review.
Tax developments. In 2025, federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States on July 4, 2025. The Company recognized the impacts of the 2025 provisions including the timing of deductions for research and experimentation costs. The Company will continue to assess the legislation’s impact on future reporting periods but the legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Regulatory restrictions on net assets
Note 15 · Regulatory restrictions on net assets
The ability of Hawaiian Electric to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI are subject to contractual and regulatory restrictions. Under the PUC Agreement, in the event that the consolidated common stock equity of the Utilities’ subsidiaries falls below 35% of the total capitalization of the Utilities (including the current maturities of long-term debt, but excluding short-term borrowings), the Utilities’ subsidiaries would, absent PUC approval, be restricted in their payment of cash dividends to 80% of the earnings available for the payment of dividends in the current fiscal year and preceding five years, less the amount of dividends paid during that period. The PUC Agreement also provides that the foregoing dividend restriction shall not be construed as relinquishing any right the PUC may have to review the dividend policies of the electric utility subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2025, the consolidated common stock equity of HEI’s electric utility subsidiaries was 42% of their total capitalization, which excludes finance lease liabilities resulting from power purchase agreements in the calculation of total capitalization, to align with their debt covenant requirements. As of December 31, 2025, Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries had common stock equity of $1.6 billion, of which approximately $1.2 billion was not available for transfer to HEI in the form of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval.
HEI and its subsidiaries are also subject to debt covenants and the terms of guarantees that could limit their respective abilities to pay dividends. The Company does not expect that the regulatory and contractual restrictions applicable to HEI and/or its subsidiaries will significantly affect the operations of HEI.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Significant group concentrations of credit risk
Note 16 · Significant group concentrations of credit risk
Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in the State of Hawaii.
The Utilities are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai in the State of Hawaii. The Utilities provide the only electric public utility service on the islands they serve. The Utilities extend credit to customers, all of whom reside or conduct business in the State of Hawaii. See Note 4 for a discussion of the Utilities’ major customers. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1260 represents roughly half of the Utilities’ workforce covered by a collective bargaining agreement. On January 26, 2024, a three-year contract was ratified and is in effect from November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027. The contract provides for a 3% general wage increase in each year of the three-year contract, double time for callouts, and a 1% incentive payment upon achievement of specified objectives.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company maintains its cash with what management believes to be high-credit quality financial institutions located in the U.S. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000, under current regulations. At times, deposits held at these banks may exceed the insured limits. As of December 31, 2025, the Company, excluding the Utilities, held cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in FDIC insured accounts. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities held cash and cash equivalents of $141 million in FDIC insured accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
The Company also maintains cash in highly rated taxable and tax-exempt money market mutual funds located in the U.S. The company minimizes risk by investing in money market mutual funds which invest in securities issued by U.S. Government and Government-Sponsored Enterprises and the fund has a AAA rating. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents are mitigated by the Company’s investment policy, which limits the Company’s investing of excess cash into relatively low risk securities that meet minimum credit quality standards that are defined in the policy. As of December 31, 2025, the Company, excluding the Utilities, held cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $15 million and $479 million, respectively, in money market mutual funds. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities held cash and cash equivalents of $346 million in money market mutual funds.

Fair value measurements
Note 17 · 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 sale of solar and BESS facilities (See Note 3) included variable interest rate debt assumed by the buyer as part of the transaction. As a result of the sale, the interest rate swap agreements that had been designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments were terminated. The derivatives had a notional amount of $28 million and a fair value of $1.0 million at termination. $0.8 million, net of taxes, was reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings. The terminated swaps were previously classified as Level 2 instruments under the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives measured at fair value on a recurring basis were previously included in “Other noncurrent assets” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents the carrying or notional amount, fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments.

Income taxes
The Company’s financial reporting policy for income tax allocations is based upon a separate entity concept whereby each subsidiary provides income tax expense (or benefits) as if each were a separate taxable entity. The difference between the aggregate separate tax return income tax provisions and the consolidated financial reporting income tax provision is charged or credited to HEI’s separate tax provision.
Dividends from HEI subsidiaries
In 2025, 2024 and 2023, cash dividends received from subsidiaries were $51 million, $427 million and $168 million, respectively. Dividends in 2025 and 2024 includes $4.5 million and $401.0 million, respectively, from ASB Hawaii related to the proceeds from the sale of ASB. Dividends in 2025 also includes $9.3 million related to the sale of other subsidiaries.
Supplemental disclosures of noncash activities
In 2025 and 2024, $0.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of HEI notes and interest receivable from Mahipapa was forgiven in connection with the impairment analyses.
In 2025, 2024 and 2023, nil, $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of HEI accounts receivable from ASB Hawaii were reduced with a corresponding reduction in HEI notes payable to ASB Hawaii in noncash transactions.
In 2025, 2024 and 2023, nil, $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, were contributed as equity by HEI into ASB Hawaii with a corresponding increase in HEI notes payable to ASB Hawaii in noncash transactions.
Under the HEI DRIP, common stock dividends reinvested by shareholders in HEI common stock in noncash transactions was nil, nil and $5 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP from January 2023 through September 4, 2023, December 6 through December 31, 2023, in 2024 and 2025 through open market purchases of its common stock rather than new issuances. From September 5 through December 5. 2023, HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of DRIP through new issuances.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Cybersecurity risk oversight and management is a critical component of the Company’s overall enterprise risk management and top priority for the Company and its Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors has delegated oversight of Enterprise Risk Management, which includes cybersecurity, to the HEI and Hawaiian Electric Audit and Risk Committees (collectively, the ARCs). The ARCs exercise their oversight responsibility of cybersecurity through quarterly (or more frequently if necessary) cybersecurity risk updates and reports of incidents, if any, by management (primarily the Utilities’ Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)). In early 2023, in recognition of the heightened cybersecurity risks facing the Company, the ARCs formed the non-fiduciary Cybersecurity Working Group (CWG) to assist the ARCs with their oversight of such risks, including through: conducting periodic meetings with management to discuss cyber risk, risk treatment, and operational activities relative to cyber risk treatment; evaluating cybersecurity areas highlighted by the ARCs, including areas the CWG deems higher risk or topical; reporting to the ARCs on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as needed; and coordinating with the Company’s management on regular trainings and tabletop exercises for the Board of Directors. In early 2026, the ARCs broadened the oversight of the CWG to include physical security risk, given the potential interconnectedness of cybersecurity and physical security risks. The updated working group, now named the Cyber and Physical Security Working Group (CPWG), continues to perform the cybersecurity-related oversight described above with respect to the CWG in addition to added oversight relating to physical security risk.
Electric utility
System overview. The Utilities rely on evolving and increasingly complex operational systems and infrastructure and information systems, networks and other technologies, which are interconnected with the systems and network infrastructure owned by third parties, to support a variety of business processes and activities, including procurement and supply chain, invoicing and collection of payments, customer relationship management, human resource management, the acquisition, generation and delivery of electrical service to customers, and to process financial information and results of operations for internal and external reporting and compliance with regulatory, financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. The Utilities use their systems and infrastructure to create, collect, store, and process sensitive information, including personal information regarding customers, employees and their dependents, retirees, and other individuals.
Risk management and strategy. The Utilities have a cybersecurity program in place, which is integrated into the overall risk management program and includes a risk management strategy and risk assessment policy, which are disseminated and maintained by the CISO, revisited annually and govern the enterprise cybersecurity risk and maturity assessment process. The program is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), and leverages a risk-based approach to optimize security investment and advance the security program’s maturity and security posture over time.
The Utilities’ cybersecurity program adopts security measures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information technology systems, network infrastructure and other assets. The Utilities’ security measures, such as awareness and training, monitoring, etc. are designed to prevent, detect, and minimize the effects of a cybersecurity incident. These measures are periodically evaluated and audited against the NIST CSF by internal audit and independent third-party cybersecurity specialists.
The CISO actively monitors developments in the area of cybersecurity and is involved in various related government and industry groups and briefs the Company’s Board quarterly or as needed, including through the CPWG, on relevant cybersecurity issues. The Utilities continue to make investments in their cybersecurity program, including personnel, technologies, cyber insurance and training of Utilities personnel.
The Utilities have disaster recovery and incident response plans in place to protect their businesses from information technology service interruptions. The disaster recovery plans are established to help prevent the loss of customer data, service interruptions and disruptions to operations or damage to important facilities. In addition, the Utilities also maintain cyber liability insurance that covers certain damages caused by cyber incidents.
Despite the Utilities’ security measures, all of their systems are vulnerable to disability, failures or unauthorized access caused by natural disasters, physical attacks, cybersecurity incidents, security breaches, user error, unintentional defects created by system changes, military or terrorist actions, power or communication failures or similar events.
To date, the Utilities are not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Utilities, including their business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. For further information, see “The Company’s information technology and operations could be impacted by a cyber incident, cybersecurity breach, or physical attack that could materially and adversely affect its businesses and reputation” in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
HEI does not have an information technology (IT) or cybersecurity risk management (CRM) department, including the resources or expertise, to manage IT/CRM-related matters and processes. HEI relies on Hawaiian Electric to provide most of its IT/CRM-related services pursuant to a Service Level Agreement (SLA), amended, as of November 30, 2023, between HEI and Hawaiian Electric. HEI also employs third party cybersecurity consultants as needed to assist in managing CRM-related matters. The SLA outlines specific services that Hawaiian Electric provides to HEI, which includes support on all IT/CRM-related matters, IT service desk support, electronic file storage and backup, hardware and software installation, inventory and maintenance, standard networking and telecommunication support, and other various IT/CRM matters, including periodic reporting to HEI’s Board of Directors and CPWG. Refer to Hawaiian Electric’s cybersecurity discussion for more information.
The SLA services provided by Hawaiian Electric are mainly for applications and systems on Hawaiian Electric’s infrastructure, networks and servers. The SLA does not cover support for certain software applications that were procured outside of Hawaiian Electric’s procurement and IT policies and procedures. These include HEI’s general ledger application itself, excluding the infrastructure that the general ledger application is installed on, and certain cloud-based software. Although these applications are not supported by Hawaiian Electric, security measures and internal control procedures related to user access and periodic security reviews have been implemented on these applications and are performed on an on-going basis in accordance with Hawaiian Electric’s IT policies and procedures. These controls are required to protect HEI’s financial and other sensitive information, as well as to prevent cybersecurity breaches on Hawaiian Electric’s infrastructure, networks and servers. In the event of a cybersecurity breach on these applications not supported by Hawaiian Electric, HEI employs third party cybersecurity consultants to assess and resolve issues resulting from a breach, depending on its severity. Hawaiian Electric may also provide guidance and support to assist HEI in assessing and resolving cybersecurity breaches. HEI has also formulated disaster recovery plans, which are updated on an annual basis, involving all of its critical applications.
HEI’s cybersecurity governance is primarily integrated within Hawaiian Electric’s cybersecurity governance plan and processes. HEI’s Board of Directors and CPWG are tasked with overseeing risks from cybersecurity threats through routine quarterly, or as needed, updates and periodic deep-dive sessions. These updates cover cybersecurity incidents, as well as overall cybersecurity risk reduction program maturity, emerging and current cybersecurity risks, and the cybersecurity threat landscape.
The HEI CFO oversees all IT and cybersecurity matters at HEI, including having oversight responsibility for the services delivered under the SLA. Since the HEI CFO does not have expertise in cybersecurity, the HEI CFO works with the Hawaiian Electric CISO and, if necessary, with third-party cybersecurity consultants on assessing, identifying, and managing material cybersecurity matters impacting HEI. There were no cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or that we believe are reasonably likely to materially affect HEI, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Use of estimates
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change for HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) include the amounts reported as fair value for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; contingencies and litigation; income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities (Utilities only); and asset retirement obligations (Utilities only).
Consolidation The HEI consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HEI and its subsidiaries. The Hawaiian Electric consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries. When HEI or Hawaiian Electric has a controlling financial interest in another entity (usually, majority voting interest), that entity is consolidated. Investments in companies over which the Company or the Utilities have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements exclude variable interest entities (VIEs) when the Company or the Utilities are not the primary beneficiaries. Significant intercompany amounts are eliminated in consolidation
Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, short-term commercial paper of non-affiliates and liquid investments (with original maturities of three months or less) to be cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted cash The Company considers cash held by trustees, related to non-recourse loans at Pacific Current subsidiaries, and cash held by GLST1, related to the first liability installment payment pursuant to the settlement agreements to settle the tort-related legal claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, to be restricted cash.
Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost. Self-constructed electric utility plant includes engineering, supervision, administrative and general costs and an allowance for the cost of funds used during the construction period. These costs are recorded in construction in progress and are transferred to utility plant when construction is completed and the facilities are either placed in service or become useful for public utility purposes. Costs for betterments that make utility plant more useful, more efficient, of greater durability or of greater capacity are also capitalized. Upon the retirement or sale of electric utility plant, generally no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of the plant retired is charged to accumulated depreciation. Amounts collected from customers for cost of removal are included in regulatory liabilities.
Depreciation Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets being depreciated. Electric utility plant additions in the current year are depreciated beginning January 1 of the following year in accordance with rate-making. Electric utility plant and Pacific Current generation assets have lives ranging from 16 to 51 years for production plant, from 10 to 79 years for transmission and distribution plant, and from 5 to 50 years for general plant.
Retirement benefits Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are charged primarily to expense and electric utility plant (in the case of the Utilities). Funding for the Company’s qualified pension plan (Plan) is based on actuarial assumptions adopted by the Pension Investment Committee administering the Plan. The participating employers contribute amounts to pension trust for the Plan in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), including changes promulgated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and considering the deductibility of contributions under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company generally funds at least the net periodic pension cost during the year, subject to ERISA minimum and Internal Revenue Code limits and targeted funded status.
Certain health care and/or life insurance benefits are provided to eligible retired employees and the employees’ beneficiaries and covered dependents. The Company generally funds the net periodic postretirement benefit costs other than pension (except for executive life) for postretirement benefits other than pension (OPEB), while maximizing the use of the most tax-advantaged funding vehicles, subject to cash flow requirements and reviews of the funded status with the consulting actuary.
Environmental expenditures The Company and the Utilities are subject to numerous federal and state environmental statutes and regulations. In general, environmental contamination treatment costs are charged to expense. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property; the costs mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination; or the costs are incurred in preparing the property for sale. Environmental costs are either capitalized or charged to expense when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Utilities review their sites and measure the liability quarterly by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs of each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties.
Contingencies and litigation The Company and the Utilities are subject to proceedings (including PUC proceedings), lawsuits and other claims. Management assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments in or outcomes of these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies
is based on an analysis of each individual case or proceeding often with the assistance of outside counsel. Loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and estimates are adjusted to reflect the impact of all known information, such as new developments in each matter or changes in approach in dealing with these matters, including changes in settlement strategy. When a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded in the amount of the estimable loss. If it is reasonably possible that a loss may have been incurred and the effect on the financial statements could be material, the Company and the Utilities disclose the nature of the loss contingency and an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made within the notes to the financial statements.
Income taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s and the Utilities’ assets and liabilities at federal and state tax rates expected to be in effect when such deferred tax assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
HEI and the Utilities’ investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the properties to which the credits relate (and for the Utilities, this treatment is in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 980, “Regulated Operations”).
The Utilities are included in the consolidated income tax returns of HEI. However, income tax expense has been computed for financial statement purposes as if each utility filed a separate income tax return and Hawaiian Electric filed a consolidated Hawaiian Electric income tax return.
Governmental tax authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by the Company. The Company and the Utilities use a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Fair value measurements Fair value estimates are estimates of the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the Company and the Utilities use their own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the Company or the Utilities were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the Company’s and the Utilities’ financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.
The Company and the Utilities group their financial assets measured at fair value in three levels outlined as follows:
Level 1:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2:    Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Classification in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. For instruments classified in Level 1 and 2 where inputs are primarily based upon observable market data, there is less judgment applied in arriving at the fair value. For instruments classified in Level 3, management judgment is more significant due to the lack of observable market data.
The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next related to the observability of inputs in fair value measurements may result in a reclassification between the fair value hierarchy levels and are recognized based on period-end balances.
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate certain assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of nonrecurring uses of fair value include asset retirement obligations (AROs).
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 sale of solar and BESS facilities (See Note 3) included variable interest rate debt assumed by the buyer as part of the transaction. As a result of the sale, the interest rate swap agreements that had been designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments were terminated. The derivatives had a notional amount of $28 million and a fair value of $1.0 million at termination. $0.8 million, net of taxes, was reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings. The terminated swaps were previously classified as Level 2 instruments under the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives measured at fair value on a recurring basis were previously included in “Other noncurrent assets” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Earnings per share (HEI only) Basic earnings per share (EPS) and Basic EPS from continuing operations are computed by dividing net income for common stock and income from continuing operations for common stock, respectively, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS and diluted EPS from continuing operations are computed similarly, except that dilutive common shares for stock compensation is added to the denominator.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of The Company and the Utilities review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. When the Utilities conclude that recovery of the remaining carrying amount of long-lived generation asset upon retirement is probable of recovery in future rates the carrying amount of the long-lived generation asset is recorded as a regulatory asset. Other assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations In June 2025, the Company determined the net assets of our remaining Pacific Current operating subsidiaries met the criteria for classification as held for sale. The Company sold Pacific Current’s solar and Battery Energy Storage System facilities in August 2025. The assets and liabilities of Pacific Current’s remaining biomass facility has been reclassified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025. The Company determined that the sale of these assets and the planned sale of the remaining asset did not represent a strategic shift having a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Income taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 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 has adopted this amendment on a prospective basis effective for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption did not 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). If implemented, the rules would require annual disclosure of material greenhouse gas emissions; governance, risk management and strategy related to material climate-related risks; financial statement impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions; 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 material impacts on estimates and assumptions in the financial statements. 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.
Income statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The guidance requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Internal-use software disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance removes all references to project stages in software development and requires capitalization of internal-use software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the intended function. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for government grants. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The ASU adds guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants received by business entities. ASU No. 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Electric utility  
Regulation by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) The Utilities are regulated by the PUC and account for the effects of regulation under FASB ASC Topic 980, “Regulated Operations.” As a result, the Utilities’ financial statements reflect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses based on current cost-based rate-making regulations (see Note 4—“Regulatory assets and liabilities”). Their continued accounting under ASC Topic 980 generally requires that rates are established by an independent, third-party regulator; rates are designed to recover the costs of providing service; and it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to, and collected from, customers. Management believes that the operations of the Utilities, including the impact of the approved PBR Framework, currently satisfy the criteria under ASC Topic 980.
The rate schedules of the Utilities include energy costs recovery clauses (ECRCs) under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. The rate schedules also include purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs) under which the remaining purchase power expenses are recovered through surcharge mechanisms. The amounts collected through the ECRCs and PPACs are required to be reconciled quarterly.
Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Utilities generally assess a late payment charge on balances unpaid from the previous month. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Utilities’ best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in the Utilities’ existing accounts receivable.
Electric utility revenues Revenues related to electric service are generally recorded when service is rendered and include revenues applicable to energy consumed in the accounting period but not yet billed to the customers. The Utilities also record revenue under a decoupling mechanism.
Repairs and maintenance costs Repairs and maintenance costs for overhauls of generating units are generally expensed as they are incurred.
Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) AFUDC represents the estimated costs of debt (i.e., interest) and equity funds used to finance plant construction. AFUDC is credited on the statement of income and charged to construction in progress on the balance sheet. If a project under construction is delayed for an extended period of time, AFUDC on the delayed project may be stopped after assessing the causes of the delay and probability of recovery. The tax gross up of the allowance for equity funds used during construction is credited to income taxes on the statement of income and charged to a regulatory asset. This gross up, net of amortization of the regulatory asset, is reflected in income tax expense.
Asset retirement obligations AROs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 410-20, “Asset Retirement Obligations.” AROs are recognized at present value of expected costs to retire long-lived assets from service, provided a legal obligation exists and a reasonable estimate of the fair value and the settlement date can be made. In the subsequent period, the liability is accreted to its future value while the asset retirement cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. The Utilities’ recognition of AROs have no impact on earnings, as the cost of the AROs are recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by the Utilities relate to legal obligations with the retirement of plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
Revenues
Revenue from contracts with customers. The revenues subject to ASC Topic 606 include the Utilities’ electric energy sales revenue as further described below.
Electric utilities.
Electric energy sales. Electric energy sales represent revenues from the generation and transmission of electricity to customers under tariffs approved by the PUC. Transaction pricing for electricity is determined and approved by the PUC for each rate class and includes revenues from the base electric charges, which are composed of (1) the customer, demand, energy, and minimum charges, and (2) the power factor, service voltage, and other adjustments as provided in each rate and rate rider schedule. Electric energy sales also represent contract rate charge from the generation and transmission of electricity to the Army. The monthly pricing is recalculated on an annual basis based on actual costs, approved by the Army.
The Utilities satisfy performance obligations of electric energy sales over time, i.e., the Utilities generate and transfer control of the electricity over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Utilities’ performance. Payments from customers are generally due within 30 days from the end of the billing period. As electric bills to customers reflect the amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Utilities’ performance to date, the Utilities have elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient, which entitles them to recognize revenue in the amount they have the right to invoice.
The Utilities’ revenues include amounts for recovery of various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the year the related revenues are recognized.
All Other.
All Other sales. Other sales primarily consist of revenues from the generation and sale of renewable energy at fixed contractual prices per kWh to customers under power purchase agreements by Pacific Current subsidiaries. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as renewable energy is generated and control is transferred to the customer that simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. Payments from customers are generally due within 30 days from the end of the billing period. The bill to customers reflects the amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance to date. Pacific Current has elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient, which entitles it to recognize revenue in the amount they have the right to invoice.
Revenues from other sources
Revenues from other sources. Revenues from other sources not subject to ASC Topic 606 are accounted for as follows:
Electric utilities.
Regulatory revenues. Regulatory revenues primarily consist of revenues from the decoupling mechanism and cost recovery surcharges.
Decoupling mechanism - Under the current decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover or obligated to refund the difference between actual revenue and the target revenue as determined by the PUC, collect annual revenue adjustment mechanism (ARA) and exceptional project recovery mechanism revenues, and recover or refund performance incentive mechanism penalties or rewards. These adjustments will be reflected in tariffs in future periods. Under the PBR framework, the accrued RBA revenues as of the preceding September 30 balance and the annual ARA amount are billed from January 1 through December 31 of each year, which is within 24 months following the end of the year in which they are recorded as required by the accounting standard for alternative revenue programs (see “Regulatory proceedings” in Note 4).
Cost recovery surcharges - For the timely recovery of additional costs incurred, and reconciliation of costs and expenses included in tariffed rates, the Utilities recognize revenues under surcharge mechanisms approved by the PUC. These will be reflected in tariffs in future periods (e.g., ECRC and PPAC).
Since revenue adjustments discussed above resulted from either agreements with the PUC or change in tax law, rather than contracts with customers, they are not subject to the scope of ASC Topic 606. Also, see Notes 1, 4 and 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Utilities have elected to present these revenue adjustments on a gross basis, which results in the amounts being billed to customers presented in revenues from contracts with customers and the amortization of the related regulatory asset/liability as revenues from other sources. Depending on whether the previous deferral balance being amortized was a regulatory asset or regulatory liability, and depending on the size and direction of the current year deferral of surcharges and/or refunds to customers, it could result in negative regulatory revenue during the year.
Utility pole attachment fees. These fees primarily represent revenues from third-party companies for their access to and shared use of Utilities-owned poles through licensing agreements. As the shared portion of the utility pole is functionally dependent on the rest of the structure, no distinct goods appear to exist. Therefore, these fees are not subject to the scope of ASC Topic 606, but recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Other Income.
Army privatization extraordinary O&M (EOM) fees. The monthly EOM fee provides the recovery of the incremental extraordinary O&M costs not covered under the standard utility services. The nature of the work related to transitional period revenue and monthly EOM fees do not represent the Utilities’ ongoing major or central operations (i.e., generating, and transmission and distribution of electricity) and is provided specifically for the arrangement between the Utilities and the Army. Therefore, these revenues are not subject to the scope of ASC Topic 606, but recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Other Income.
