**Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric) and their subsidiaries contain "forward-looking statements," which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions and usually include words such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "predicts," "estimates" or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic, political and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:

• the potential for further trade policy changes under the current administration could disrupt our supply chains and increase costs, e.g., the Utilities' capital goods and equipment purchases and those of its independent power producers (IPPs) that contain components, sub-components, or raw materials sources from outside the U.S. could experience increases in costs, which could threaten the viability of projects and impact our ability to meet customer demand and the Utilities' ability to achieve renewable portfolio standards (RPS) goals;

• the impact of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, including liabilities in excess of settlement amounts and potential regulatory penalties, which may result in significant costs that may be unrecoverable (or not reimbursed on a timely basis) through insurance and/or rates;

• an increase in insurance premiums and the inability to fully recover premiums through rates or the potential inability to obtain wildfire and general liability insurance coverage at reasonable rates, if available at all;

**<u>PART I</u>**

**ITEM 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BUSINESS**

**<u>HEI Consolidated</u>**

**HEI and subsidiaries and lines of business.** HEI is a holding company with its subsidiaries principally engaged in electric utility and non-regulated renewable/sustainable infrastructure businesses operating in the State of Hawaii. As a holding company, HEI's sources of funds are primarily dividends from its Electric utility operating subsidiaries, borrowings, and sales of equity. The rights of HEI and its creditors and shareholders to participate in any distribution of the assets of any of HEI's subsidiaries are subject to the prior claims of the creditors of such subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of HEI in its capacity as a creditor are recognized as primary. The abilities of certain of HEI's subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI are subject to contractual and regulatory restrictions (see Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). HEI is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii and has 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.

*<u>Electric utility</u>.* Hawaiian Electric and its operating utility subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (Hawaii Electric Light) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (Maui Electric), are regulated electric public utilities that provide essential electric service to approximately 95% of Hawaii's population through the operation of five separate grids that serve communities on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai. See also "Electric utility" section below.

*<u>All Other</u>.* The All Other non-reportable segment is composed of HEI's corporate-level operating, general and administrative expenses and the results of Pacific Current, LLC (Pacific Current). Pacific Current was formed in September 2017 to focus on investing in non-regulated clean energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii to help reach the state's sustainability goals. Subsequent to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, HEI and Pacific Current have suspended new investments and undertook a comprehensive review of strategic options for the assets of Pacific Current. As part of HEI's comprehensive review of strategic options for Pacific Current, all investments of Pacific Current that were made through its subsidiaries were sold in 2025, except for Mahipapa, its remaining operating subsidiary which is in the process of being sold. See also "Electric utility—Hawaii Electric Light firm capacity PPAs" section below and Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Pacific Current activities. The All Other segment also includes ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii) (a holding company), which previously owned ASB, and 40% interest in GLST1, an entity 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 claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires.

*<u>Additional information</u>.* Prior to December 31, 2024, ASB Hawaii owned ASB, a federally chartered, full-service Hawaii community bank. ASB was a reportable segment of HEI, until its sale on December 31, 2024. For additional information about HEI, see HEI's MD&A, HEI's "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and HEI's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's website address is <u>www.hei.com</u>, where annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports (last 10 years) are made available free of charge in the Investor Relations section as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC (and available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov). The information on the Company's website is not incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 10-K unless, and except to the extent, specifically incorporated herein by reference. HEI and Hawaiian Electric intend to continue to use HEI's website as a means of disclosing additional information. Accordingly, investors should routinely monitor such portions of HEI's website, in addition to following HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. Investors may also wish to refer to the PUC website at <u>hpuc.my.site.com/cdms/s/</u> in order to review documents filed with and issued by the PUC. No information at the PUC website is incorporated herein by reference, and the Company has no control over its accuracy or completeness.

**Regulation.** HEI and Hawaiian Electric are each holding companies within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and implementing regulations, which requires holding companies and their subsidiaries to grant the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) access to books and records relating to FERC's jurisdictional rates. FERC granted HEI and Hawaiian Electric a waiver from its record retention, accounting and reporting requirements, effective May 2006.

HEI is subject to an agreement entered into with the PUC (the PUC Agreement) which, among other things, requires PUC approval of any change in control of HEI. The PUC Agreement also requires HEI to provide the PUC with periodic financial information and other reports concerning intercompany transactions and other matters. It also prohibits the Utilities from loaning funds to HEI or its nonutility subsidiaries and from redeeming common stock of the electric utility subsidiaries without PUC approval. Further, the PUC could limit the ability of the electric utility subsidiaries to pay dividends on their common stock. See also Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and "Electric utility—Regulation" below.

------

In October 2021, Pacific Current requested informal guidance from the PUC regarding application of the affiliate transaction requirements (ATRs) to certain investments. In response, in January 2022, the PUC issued guidance (Order No. 38186, Docket No. 2018-0065) providing that, if Pacific Current acquires or invests in an unaffiliated entity that has been awarded a power purchase agreement with the Utilities through the Stage 1 or 2 Request for proposals (RFPs), such entity would become an "Affiliate" or "Affiliate-Related Entity" under the ATRs, and any wholesale power transactions between the entity and the Utilities, including under the awarded power purchase agreement, would require PUC review and approval. Subsequent to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, HEI and Pacific Current have suspended any new investments while undertaking a comprehensive review of strategic options for certain assets of Pacific Current.

Beginning in 2024 and continuing into 2026, HEI has embarked on a strategy to divest all of its affiliated companies other than the Utilities, intending for the Utilities to be HEI's sole operating companies. On December 30, 2024, HEI, ASB and ASB Hawaii 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 9.9% of the common stock of ASB. The sale transaction closed on December 31, 2024. HEI and ASB Hawaii no longer have a controlling interest in ASB and are no longer subject to applicable federal and state regulation and supervision (including under the Federal Reserve Board and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency).

As part of HEI's comprehensive review of strategic options for certain assets of Pacific Current, 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, which owned a 60-MW combined cycle power plant that sells power to Hawaii Electric Light under an existing power purchase agreement, and HAESP, LLC (created in connection with the current on-going Stage 3 RFP process).

In addition, 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, Kaʻieʻie Waho Company, LLC, Upena, LLC and Alenuihaha Developments, LLC (Project Companies). As a result of the Solar Asset Disposition, effective as of August 1, 2025, Pacific Current no longer owns the Project Companies. Pacific Current is currently in the process of selling the membership interest in its remaining operating subsidiary, Mahipapa, LLC.

Pursuant to HEI's divestiture strategy, on October 31, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric filed a revised request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the ATRs. Termination of the ATRs would allow implementation of a corporate integration, under which all HEI employees would move to Hawaiian Electric. A few officer positions would manage and operate both HEI and Hawaiian Electric (dual-hatted executives) and the HEI and Hawaiian Electric boards of directors would be composed of a single set of individuals.

*<u>Environmental regulation</u>*. HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to federal and state statutes and governmental regulations pertaining to water quality, air quality and other environmental factors. See the "Environmental regulation" discussion in the "Electric utility" section below, and Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Human Capital Resources.** The Company's workforce and culture are critical to its ability to achieve its business strategies. As such, the Company seeks to attract, retain and develop a talented workforce and create a high-performing, inclusive and safety-driven culture.

*<u>Employees</u>*. The Company had total and full-time employees as follows:

---

<sup>1</sup> Includes consolidated Pacific Current employees. For 2025, 2024, and 2023, HEI corporate had 39, 44, and 45 employees, respectively.

<sup>2</sup> Beginning December 31, 2024, as a result of the sale transaction, ASB was no longer a subsidiary of HEI.

The employees of HEI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than the Utilities, are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement. 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 new 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.

*<u>Culture of inclusion and belonging</u>.* The Company is committed to fostering an inclusive culture – where all employees can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and contribute at their highest potential. This type of culture supports greater collaboration, trust, engagement, excellence and innovation - strengthening problem-solving and decision-making across the Company. The Company believes that a workforce enriched by diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and perspectives is essential to effectively serving its customers, communities and stakeholders. Operating exclusively in Hawaii, one of the most culturally diverse states in the U.S., the Company also recognizes the value of having employees who understand and reflect the unique culture, history and demographics of the communities it serves.

*<u>Employee development & training</u>.* To meet the evolving demands of its industries, address the Company's stakeholder needs, attract and retain talent, and effectively execute its strategies, the Company depends on a workforce that is highly skilled and adaptable. Accordingly, the Company invests in targeted skill-building opportunities, as well as industry-specific and leadership development programs, to support ongoing employee growth and performance.

Hawaiian Electric provides employees of both Hawaiian Electric and HEI holding company with a wide range of skills and professional development opportunities. These include leadership development courses, employee development courses, technical training, apprenticeship programs, operational and environmental compliance training, cybersecurity awareness, and required safety courses. The Company also offers tailored leadership programs, such as supervisor training designed to help new supervisors transition into key operational, administrative, and leadership roles. In addition, leadership and employee assessments support improved productivity and workplace effectiveness. Learning and development initiatives are aligned with both individual and organizational performance goals and are reinforced through the annual performance evaluation process. Ongoing leadership succession planning further ensures the identification and development of successors and high potential employees, helping to maintain a strong leadership pipeline.

*<u>Safety and health</u>.* As a core value, the Company strives to create workplace environments that prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of its employees. For the Utility, safety is of paramount importance due to the inherent risks involved in certain aspects of its operations and the critical role the Utility plays in maintaining the electrical grid for the State of Hawaii.

Hawaiian Electric is committed to maintaining a strong safety culture. Due to the intrinsic nature of its operations, safety is embedded in Hawaiian Electric's DNA. Management proactively assumes the responsibility of providing visible leadership and strategic direction for the health and safety management system and programs in their area of oversight. This leadership and direction are instrumental to building and sustaining a resilient safety culture and drive continual safety improvement. Allocating adequate resources to enable seamless implementation of safety programs and holding leaders accountable for the implementation of safety programs and resulting health and safety performance are strategic requirements. This commitment is reinforced through executive compensation tied to safety performance metrics, such as recordable incidents and lost workdays. These measures reward improvements in workplace safety, promote employee well-being, and contribute to long-term cost reductions. Hawaiian Electric's ultimate goal is zero incidents, with every employee taking ownership of their own safety and that of their co-workers, contractors, and the public. More information on such targets is available in HEI's 2026 Proxy Statement.

Beyond safety, Hawaiian Electric fosters a culture of total well-being to support its employees from hire to retire and beyond. Hawaiian Electric integrates wellness as a business strategy, offering programs that address emotional, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental and financial health. These include access to an extensive Employee Assistance Program for employees and their family members, participation in various community charity walks, wellness related trainings and resources, onsite mental health support, a wide variety of corporate wellness activities, gym and group fitness discounts, and financial wellness classes.

*<u>Workforce Stability</u>*. The Company's employees are its greatest asset and the Company strives to create a highly desirable place to work.

Hawaiian Electric seeks to provide compensation and benefits that are comprehensive, market-competitive, and internally equitable to attract, engage, and retain highly skilled employees. Hawaiian Electric believes that employee engagement is key to creating a desirable, inclusive, rewarding place to work and conducts employee engagement surveys on a regular cycle. Hawaiian Electric is expanding its strategic workforce planning initiative to build its workforce to support future transformation plans.

**Properties.** HEI leases office space from a nonaffiliated lessor in downtown Honolulu under leases that expire in December 2027. Mahipapa, LLC (Mahipapa), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Current, owns a 7.5-MW biomass facility located on approximately 65 acres of land and leases 3,500 acres on the island of Kauai. See "Electric utility" section for a description of properties owned and leased.

**<u>Electric utility</u>**

**Hawaiian Electric and subsidiaries and service areas.** Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric (Utilities) are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu; Hawaii; and Maui, Lanai and Molokai, respectively. All of Hawaiian Electric's equity securities are directly owned by HEI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2025, the Utilities' revenues and net income amounted to approximately 99% and 137% respectively, of HEI's consolidated revenues and income from continuing operations. In 2024, the Utilities' revenues and net loss amounted to approximately 100% and 93% respectively, of HEI's consolidated revenues and loss from continuing operations. In 2023, the Utilities' revenues and net income amounted to approximately 99% and 133%, respectively, of HEI's consolidated revenues and income from continuing operations.

The islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai have a combined population estimated at 1.4 million, or approximately 95% of the total population of the State of Hawaii, and comprise a service area of approximately 5,800 square miles. The principal communities served include Honolulu (on Oahu), Hilo and Kona (on Hawaii) and Wailuku and Kahului (on Maui). The service areas also include numerous suburban communities, resorts, U.S. Armed Forces installations and agricultural operations. In November 2020, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric's acquisition of the electric distribution systems serving 12 U.S. Army installations on Oahu, including Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Tripler Army Medical Center, Fort Shafter and Army housing areas.

The State has granted Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric nonexclusive franchises, which authorize the Utilities to construct, operate and maintain facilities over and under public streets and sidewalks. Each of these franchises will continue in effect for an indefinite period of time until forfeited, altered, amended or repealed.

**Climate action plan.** In 2021, the Utilities set an aggressive goal to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. The emissions covered by this goal include stack emissions from generation owned by Hawaiian Electric and independent power producers (IPPs) who sell electricity to the Utilities. In addition, the Utilities have committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from power generation by 2045 or sooner.

Key elements of the 2030 plan to reduce emissions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The closing of the state's last coal plant, which occurred in September 2022 upon expiry of the PPA

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding nearly 50,000 rooftop solar systems, more than a 50% increase, compared to the approximately 90,000 systems online in 2021 when the climate action plan was developed

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Retiring at least six fossil-fueled generating units and significantly reducing the use of others as new renewable resources come online

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding additional renewable energy projects capable of generating a total of at least 1 gigawatt beyond resources in place in 2021, including shared solar (community-based renewable energy)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Using more grid-scale and customer-owned energy storage

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expanding geothermal resources

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Creating innovative programs that provide customers incentives for using clean, lower-cost energy at certain times of the day and using less fossil-fueled energy at night

Since the time the 2030 goal was established, delays and cancellations in the commercial operation of new renewable third-party generation resources and higher costs as a result of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, as well as federal policies related to solar panel imports, have slowed the pace of progress toward reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The downgrade of Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings after the Maui windstorm and wildfires, which makes it more difficult for independent power producers to procure low-cost financing, has added an additional impediment to completion of new renewable energy and storage projects. Further, the recent repealing of the investment tax credit for renewables is also expected to impact the ability to procure new generation at reasonable rates. As a result of these challenges, the Utilities expect the planned 70% reduction in carbon emissions to be achieved later than the original 2030 target date. However, the Utilities will continue to replace significant amounts of fossil fuel generation with renewable energy between now and 2030 and expect to meet or exceed the State of Hawaii's RPS goals. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities estimate a reduction of carbon emissions of approximately 25%. This represented an increase in emissions compared to the 27% reduction in 2024 due to higher customer electric usage. As renewable energy replaces fossil fuel generation, carbon emissions are expected to continue to decline over time.

After 2030, progress on elimination of carbon from power generation assumes continued use of proven resources, including wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, biofuels and energy storage, along with the development of new and existing technologies. Those technologies may include offshore wind, green hydrogen, wave energy and carbon-capture—all currently

------

under development around the world—as well as other solutions that will emerge. A diverse portfolio of resources will also enhance resilience to climate-related events.

\* As of December 31.

*<u>Regulatory mechanisms</u>.* Base electric rates are set in rate cases, and on April 29, 2020, the PUC issued an order terminating the mandatory triennial rate case cycle in anticipation of the performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). The regulatory framework in effect in 2020 included a number of mechanisms designed to provide utility financial stability during the transition toward the state's 100% renewable energy goals. For example, under the sales decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover from customers, the PUC-approved target revenues, independent of the level of kilowatt-hour (kWh) sales. The decoupling mechanism (i.e., the Revenue Balancing Account) continues under the PBR Framework.

On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O in Phase 2 of the PBR proceeding, establishing the PBR Framework for the Utilities. The PBR Framework includes, among other matters, a five-year multi-year rate plan with an index-driven annual revenue adjustment (ARA), which replaces the RAM, modification of the MPIR mechanism (renamed Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM)) to include deferred and operation and maintenance (O&M) expense projects and to 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, and continuation of (i) the revenue balancing account, (ii) the pension and other postretirement benefit tracking mechanisms, and (iii) energy cost recovery clause, purchased power adjustment clause, and other recovery mechanisms. See "Commitments and contingencies-Regulatory proceedings-Performance-based regulation framework" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

------

These regulatory mechanisms are summarized as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Mechanism** | **Description** |
| Sales decoupling | Provides predictable revenue stream by fixing net revenues at the level approved in last rate case plus the PUC-approved adjustments (revenues not linked to kWh sales). |
| Annual Revenue Adjustment (ARA) | Annually adjusts revenue levels during a Multi-Year Rate Period, determined by formula which includes an inflation factor, a predetermined productivity adjustment (currently set at zero), adjustments for exceptional circumstances not in the Utilities' control and a customer dividend component. The ARA replaced the Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (RAM) effective June 1, 2021. |
| Demand-Side Management Mechanism | Allows for recovery of costs related to demand side management programs not included in base rates, including recovery of incentive payments for the Utilities' Scheduled Dispatch Program and Bring Your Own Device Program. |
| Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) | Reduces regulatory lag and permits recovery of revenues for net costs of approved eligible projects placed in service during the Multi-Year Rate Period through the revenue balancing account (RBA) that is not provided for by other effective tariffs, the ARA, Performance Incentive Mechanism (PIMs) or Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs). The EPRM was formerly known as the Major Project Interim Recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism. |
| Energy cost recovery clause (ECRC) and purchased power adjustment clause (PPAC) | Allows for timely recovery of fuel and purchased power costs to reduce earnings volatility. Symmetrical fossil fuel cost risk-sharing (98% customer/2% utility) mechanism established for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric capped at $2.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million annually, respectively. |
| Performance incentive mechanism (PIM) / Shared Savings Mechanism (SSM) | Annually adjusts revenue to recover from or credit customers for specific areas of the Utilities' performance measured against the PUC's approved targets. Adding a portfolio of SSMs and new PIMs is intended to encourage acceleration in renewables, grid services, interconnection of DERs, low-to-moderate income energy efficiency, advanced metering infrastructure, generation-based reliability (penalties only), interconnection of utility scale renewable projects, and cost control of non-ARA costs and allow for financial rewards for exemplary performance. |
| Pension and other post-employment benefit trackers | Allows tracking of pension and other post-employment benefit costs and contributions above or below the cost included in rates in a separate regulatory asset/liability account. |
| Renewable energy infrastructure program | Permits recovery of renewable energy infrastructure projects through a surcharge. |
| Pilot Process | Fosters innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that test new technologies, programs, business models and other arrangements and allows for timely cost recovery of annual expenditures of approved pilot projects through an adjustment to target revenues. Proposed pilots are subject to PUC approval with a total annual cap of $10 million. |
| Earnings Sharing Mechanism (ESM) | Protects the Utilities and customers from excessive earnings or losses, as measured by the Utilities' achieved rate making ROACE; reflecting a symmetrical ESM for achieved rate making ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead band above or below the current authorized ROACE of 9.5% for each of the Utilities (i.e., above 12.5% or below 6.5%).  |

---

*<u>Seasonality</u>.* kWh sales of the Utilities follow a seasonal pattern, but they do not experience extreme seasonal variations experienced by some electric utilities on the U.S. mainland. In Hawaii, kWh sales tend to increase in the warmer, more humid months as a result of increased demand for air conditioning and higher visitor arrivals. This is partially offset by the reduction of sales due to privately owned customer photovoltaic (PV) systems which generate the most energy during the aforementioned warmer months.

*<u>Significant customers</u>.* The Utilities derived approximately 11%, 11% and 12% of their operating revenues in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively from the sale of electricity to various federal government agencies. Hawaiian Electric continues to work with various federal agencies to implement measures that will help them achieve their energy efficiency, resilience and clean energy objectives.

<sup>1</sup>Hawaiian Electric units at normal ratings; Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric units at reserve ratings.

<sup>2</sup>Nonutility generators - Hawaiian Electric: 208 MW (Kalaeloa Partners, L.P., oil-fired) and 68.5 MW (HPOWER, refuse-fired); Hawaii Electric Light: 60 MW (Hamakua Energy, oil-fired) and 34.6 MW (PGV, geothermal). PGV's current limited capability of 32.2 MW has been incorporated into the utility's firm contract power capability as of December 31, 2025.

<sup>3</sup>Noncoincident and nonintegrated.

**Generating reliability and reserve margin.** Hawaiian Electric serves the island of Oahu and Hawaii Electric Light serves the island of Hawaii. Maui Electric has three separate electrical systems—one each on the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric have isolated electrical systems that are not currently interconnected to each other or to any other electrical grid and, thus, each maintains a higher level of reserve generation and cost structure than is typically carried by interconnected mainland U.S. utilities, which are able to share reserve capacity. These higher levels of reserve margins are required to meet peak electric demands, to provide for scheduled maintenance of generating units (including the units operated by IPPs relied upon for firm capacity) and to allow for the forced outage of the largest generating unit in the system.

**Nonutility generation.** The Utilities have supported state and federal energy policies which encourage the development of renewable energy sources that reduce the use of fuel oil as well as the development of qualifying facilities. The Utilities' renewable energy sources and potential sources range from wind, solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, wave and hydroelectric power to energy produced by municipal waste and other biofuels.

The rate schedules of the Utilities contain ECRCs and PPACs that allow them to recover costs of fuel and purchase power expenses.

In addition to the firm capacity PPAs described below, the Utilities also purchase energy on an as-available basis directly from nonutility generators and through its Feed-In Tariff programs, as well as through renewable dispatchable generation power purchase agreements. The Utilities also receive renewable energy from customers under its customer-sited Distributed Energy Resources programs.

The PUC has allowed rate recovery for the firm capacity and purchased energy costs for the Utilities' approved firm capacity and as-available energy PPAs.

*<u>Hawaiian Electric firm capacity PPAs</u>.* Hawaiian Electric currently has two major firm capacity PPAs that provide a total of 276.5 MW of firm capacity, representing 19% of Hawaiian Electric's total net generating and firm purchased capacity on the Island of Oahu as of December 31, 2025.

Under the 2021 Amended and Restated PPA with Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 208 MW of firm capacity. The Kalaeloa facility, which is a Qualifying Facility (QF), is a combined-cycle operation,

------

consisting of two oil-fired combustion turbines burning low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and a steam turbine that utilizes waste heat from the combustion turbines. The PPA, among other provisions, extends the term for ten contract years after the effective date. The ARPPA was approved on November 23, 2022 and the rates under the ARPPA became effective on January 1, 2023.

Hawaiian Electric also entered into a PPA in March 1986 and a firm capacity amendment in April 1991 with the City and County of Honolulu with respect to a refuse-fired plant (HPOWER). Under the PPA, as amended and restated, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 68.5 MW of firm capacity annually up until the PPA expires on April 2, 2033.

*<u>Hawaii Electric Light firm capacity PPAs</u>.* Hawaii Electric Light has two major firm capacity PPAs that provide a total of 92.2 MW of firm capacity, representing 37% of Hawaii Electric Light's total net generating and firm purchased capacity on the Island of Hawaii as of December 31, 2025.

In October 1997, Hawaii Electric Light entered into an agreement with Encogen, which was succeeded by Hamakua Energy Partners, L. P. (HEP). The agreement requires Hawaii Electric Light to purchase up to 60 MW (net) of firm capacity for a period of 30 years, expiring on December 31, 2030. The dual-train combined-cycle facility consists of two oil-fired combustion turbines and a steam turbine that utilizes waste heat from the combustion turbines, which primarily burns naphtha (a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons) and, starting in late 2019, biodiesel (comprising approximately 40% of HEP's generation in 2025). In November 2017, Hamakua Energy, an indirect subsidiary of HEI, purchased the plant from HEP. On February 7, 2025, the parent company of Hamakua Holdings, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of HEI and parent company of Hamakua Energy, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell all the membership interests in Hamakua Holdings, LLC to an unaffiliated third party. The sale closed on March 10, 2025. See "Sale of Hamakua Holdings, LLC" in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Hawaii Electric Light has a 35-year PPA, as amended, with Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) for 34.6 MW of firm capacity from its geothermal steam facility, which will expire on December 31, 2027. In December 2019, Hawaii Electric Light entered into an Amended and Restated PPA (ARPPA) with PGV to, among other things, extend the term by 25 years to 2052 and expand the firm capacity capable of being delivered to 46 MW. The ARPPA was approved by the PUC subject to certain conditions on December 29, 2023.

*<u>Maui Electric firm capacity PPAs</u>.* Maui Electric currently has no firm capacity PPAs.

**Fuel oil usage and supply.** The rate schedules of the Utilities include ECRCs under which electric rates (and consequently the revenues of the electric utility subsidiaries generally) 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. See discussion of rates and issues relating to the ECRC below under "Rates."

Hawaiian Electric's steam generating units consume LSFO and Hawaiian Electric's combustion turbine peaking units consume diesel. Hawaiian Electric's Schofield Generating Station consumes mostly B99 grade biodiesel, but is permitted to also burn ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).

Hawaii Electric Light's and Maui Electric's steam generating units burn high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) and Hawaii Electric Light's and Maui Electric's Maui combustion turbine generating units burn diesel. Hawaii Electric Light's and Maui Electric's Maui, Molokai, and Lanai diesel engine generating units burn ULSD.

See "Fuel contracts" in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A.

The following table sets forth the average cost of fuel oil used by Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric to generate electricity in 2025, 2024 and 2023:

| 2023 | 92 | 8 | 35 | 65 | 22 | 78 |

---

The prices that Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Electric Light pay for purchased energy from certain older nonutility generators are generally linked to the price of oil. The energy prices for Kalaeloa, which purchases LSFO from Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR), vary primarily with the price of Asian crude oil. On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement, which delinks the pricing for energy delivered from the facility from fossil fuel prices. Hamakua Energy's energy prices vary primarily with the cost of naphtha.

The Utilities estimate that 73% of the net energy they generate will come from fossil fuel oil in 2026 compared to 69% in 2025. Hawaiian Electric generally maintains an average system fuel inventory level equivalent to 47 days of forward consumption. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric generally maintain an average system fuel inventory level equivalent to approximately one month's supply of both HSFO and diesel.

**Rates.** Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the PUC with respect to rates, issuance of securities, accounting and certain other matters. See "Regulation" below.

General rate increases require the prior approval of the PUC after public and contested case hearings. Rates for Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries include ECRCs, and PPACs. Under current law and practices, specific and separate PUC approval is not required for each rate change pursuant to automatic rate adjustment clauses previously approved by the PUC. Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) requires the PUC to periodically review the adjustment clauses related to energy cost of electric and gas utilities in the state, and such clauses, as well as the rates charged by the utilities generally, are subject to change. PUC approval is also required for all surcharges and adjustments before they are reflected in rates.

See "Utility projects" under "Commitments and contingencies" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Competition.** See "Competition" in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A.

**Regulation.** The PUC regulates the rates, issuance of securities, accounting and certain other aspects of the operations of Hawaiian Electric and its electric utility subsidiaries. See the previous discussion under "Rates."

*Electrification of Transportation*. In June 2018, the PUC initiated a proceeding to review the Utilities' Electrification of Transportation (EoT) Strategic Roadmap, which provided an economic analysis for light duty electric vehicles on the island of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. In October 2019, the Utilities filed their EoT Workplan, establishing a schedule to continue implementation of the EoT roadmap with a focus on Electric Vehicle (EV) rate design and make ready charging infrastructure in the near term. The Utilities subsequently filed an update in May 2024, called the EoT Strategic Roadmap 2.0 to reflect changes to market conditions since 2018 and identifies potential utility EoT actions through 2030, through input from community and industry experts.

The Utilities followed through on the EoT Workplan, with three filings: the electric bus make ready infrastructure pilot, Charge Ready Hawaii commercial infrastructure pilot, and two commercial EV rates, EV-J and EV-P. The Utilities completed the 18-month Smart Charge Hawaii Telematics pilot in December 2024.

The Utilities operate 32 public Direct Charge fast chargers as part of the EV-U and EV-MAUI tariff. On June 26, 2025, the PUC issued an order granting the Utilities' request to make EV-U a regular tariff from a pilot, and modified the allowable accounts from 25 to 50.

The Utilities are committed to electrifying 100% of their class 1 vehicles (sedans, SUVs and light trucks) by 2035. As of December 31, 2025, 21% of class 1 vehicles are EVs.

*Renewable Portfolio Standards.* Hawaii's RPS law requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 15%, 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2015, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively, counting only electrical generation using renewable energy as a source. In July 2022, former Governor Ige signed Act 240 (H.B.2089), that amended the RPS calculation from renewable energy as a percentage of sales to renewable energy as a percentage of total generation. The amended RPS calculation results in a lower calculated percentage than the amount calculated under the previous methodology. For example, the 2022 RPS achieved under the revised RPS calculation would have been 39.1% under the prior method versus 31.8% under the revised method. The change in the definition is to be applied prospectively to future milestone measurements and will

------

require that the Utilities acquire more renewable energy than under the previous RPS calculation to comply with the RPS milestones; however, the Utilities expect to continue to meet the RPS milestones under the amended RPS law to exceed the 2030 RPS requirement of 40%. The ability of the Utilities to meet RPS milestones after 2030 may be impacted by the Utilities' current credit ratings, which may impact independent power producers' ability to secure low-cost financing. In 2025, the Utilities' RPS was 36.8%.

*Affiliate transactions*. Certain transactions between HEI's electric public utility subsidiaries (Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric) and HEI and affiliated interests (as defined by statute) are subject to regulation by the PUC.

The PUC issued an order requiring Hawaiian Electric to continue to provide the PUC with annual status reports on its compliance with the PUC Agreement (pursuant to which HEI became the holding company of Hawaiian Electric) and to present a comprehensive analysis of the impact that the holding company structure and investments in nonutility subsidiaries have on a case-by-case basis on the cost of capital to each utility in future rate cases to support Hawaiian Electric's position that its access to capital did not suffer as a result of HEI's involvement in nonutility activities and that HEI's diversification did not permanently raise or lower the cost of capital incorporated into the rates paid by Hawaiian Electric's utility customers.

The PUC also established a set of requirements governing transactions and sharing of information between the Utilities and its affiliates (Affiliate Transaction Requirements or ATRs), which intended to establish safeguards to avoid potential market power benefits and cross-subsidization between regulated and unregulated activities. The requirements include rules on interactions with affiliates, information handling, business development, political activities, promotional activities, sales of products and services, and employee sharing restrictions. The ATRs include implementing an internal code of conduct, a compliance plan, including policies and procedures to comply with the requirements, and having an audit conducted every three years that examines the compliance with the requirements. Penalties for non-compliance depend on the severity of the violation, and can range from daily fines to divestiture of the Utilities by the holding company. The ATRs also require independent compliance audits be conducted every three years, the first of which was completed in 2022 and found no findings of noncompliance for the period of December 2018 to December 2021. The PUC accepted the first ATRs audit report while ordering certain governance improvement opportunities that the Company implemented in 2023. The second triennial audit which reviewed ATRs compliance from January 2022 to December 2024 was completed and had no findings of noncompliance. The Utilities submitted the final report to the PUC in October 2025.

In June 2025, the Utilities submitted a request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the ATRs. Beginning in 2024 and continuing into 2026, HEI has embarked on a strategy to divest all of its affiliated companies other than the Utilities, intending for the Utilities to be HEI's sole operating companies. Termination of the ATRs would allow implementation of a corporate integration, under which all HEI employees would move to Hawaiian Electric. A few officer positions would manage and operate both HEI and Hawaiian Electric (dual-hatted executives) and the HEI and Hawaiian Electric boards of directors would be composed of a single set of individuals. In September 2025, the PUC dismissed the request without prejudice. In its order, the PUC provided guidance on the topics to be addressed in any future request. On October 31, 2025 HEI and Hawaiian Electric filed a revised request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the ATRs. After responding to information requests from the Consumer Advocate, the Consumer Advocate issued its statement of position on February 4, 2026. The Consumer Advocate supported the approval of the request with the condition that before any recovery of expenses related to HEI, the Utilities should give the Consumer Advocate and the PUC advance notice of likely changes to recovery. HEI and Hawaiian Electric informed the PUC that the docket was ready for decision making on February 5, 2026.

*Other regulations.* The Utilities are not subject to regulation by the FERC under the Federal Power Act, except under Sections 210 through 212 (added by Title II of PURPA and amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992), which permit the FERC to order electric utilities to interconnect with qualifying cogenerators and small power producers, and to wheel power to other electric utilities. Title I of PURPA, which relates to retail regulatory policies for electric utilities, and Title VII of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which addresses transmission access, also apply to the Utilities. The Utilities are also required to file various operational reports with the FERC.

Because they are located in the State of Hawaii, Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries are exempt by statute from limitations set forth in the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978 on the use of petroleum as a primary energy source.

*<u>Regulatory Developments</u>.* See "Regulatory proceedings" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions.

See also "HEI Consolidated–Regulation" above.

*<u>Environmental regulation</u>*. Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, are subject to periodic inspections by federal, state and, in some cases, local environmental regulatory agencies, including agencies responsible for the regulation of water quality, air quality, hazardous and other waste and hazardous materials. These

------

inspections may result in the identification of items needing corrective or other action. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report (see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A, and Notes 1 and 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Utilities believe that each subsidiary has appropriately responded to environmental conditions requiring action and that, as a result of such actions, such environmental conditions will not have a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Utilities.

*Water quality controls.* The generating stations, substations and other utility facilities operate under federal and state water quality regulations and permits, including, but not limited to, the Clean Water Act National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (governing point source discharges, including wastewater and storm water discharges) and the Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control (regulating disposal of wastewater into the subsurface).

*Oil pollution controls.* The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) establishes programs that govern actual or threatened oil releases and imposes strict liability on responsible parties for clean-up costs and damages to natural resources and property. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations under OPA require certain facilities that use or store oil to prepare and implement Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans in order to prevent releases of oil to navigable waters of the U.S. Certain facilities are also required to prepare and implement Facility Response Plans (FRPs) to ensure prompt and proper response to releases of oil. The utility facilities that are subject to SPCC Plan and FRP requirements have prepared and implemented SPCC Plans and FRPs.

*Air quality controls.* The Clean Air Act (CAA) establishes permitting programs to reduce air pollution. The CAA amendments of 1990, established the federal Title V Operating Permit Program (in Hawaii known as the Covered Source Permit program) to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state air pollution control requirements. The 1977 CAA Amendments established the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program, which affect new or modified generating units by requiring a permit to construct under the CAA and the controls necessary to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Title V operating permits have been issued for all of the Utilities' affected generating units.

*Hazardous waste and toxic substances controls.* The operations of the electric utility are subject to EPA regulations that implement provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, also known as Superfund), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) as well as equivalent State laws and regulations.

RCRA underground storage tank (UST) regulations require all facilities that use USTs for storing petroleum products to comply with established leak detection, spill prevention, standards for tank design and retrofits, financial assurance, operator training, and tank decommissioning and closure requirements. All of the Utilities' USTs currently meet the applicable requirements.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act under SARA Title III requires the Utilities to report potentially hazardous chemicals present in their facilities in order to provide the public with information so that emergency procedures can be established to protect the public in the event of hazardous chemical releases. Since January 1, 1998, the steam electric industry category has been subject to Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements.

The TSCA regulations specify procedures for the handling and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a compound found in some transformer and capacitor dielectric fluids. The TSCA regulations also apply to responses to releases of PCBs to the environment. The Utilities have instituted procedures to monitor compliance with these regulations and have implemented a program to identify and replace PCB transformers and capacitors in their systems.

Hawaii's Environmental Response Law (ERL), as amended, governs releases of hazardous substances, including oil, to the environment in areas within the state's jurisdiction. Responsible parties under the ERL may be jointly, severally, and strictly liable for a release of a hazardous substance. Responsible parties include owners or operators of a facility where a hazardous substance is located and any person who at the time of disposal of the hazardous substance owned or operated any facility at which such hazardous substance was disposed.

The Utilities periodically discover leaking oil-containing equipment such as USTs, piping, and transformers. Each subsidiary reports releases from such equipment when and as required by applicable law and addresses the releases in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

*State and Federal Endangered Species Act.* Under the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts species that are listed as threatened or endangered are to be protected from harm. Various activities of the Utilities including vegetation management, operations, construction, and the presence of infrastructure in sensitive areas may have the potential to affect such species. The Utilities have developed best management practices, protocols and in some areas are developing habitat conservation plans and obtaining related permits to help protect these species.

**ITEM 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RISK FACTORS**

The businesses of HEI and its subsidiaries involve numerous risks which, if realized, could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. For additional information for certain risk factors enumerated below and other risks of the Company and its operations, see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" above and HEI's MD&A, HEI's "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Hawaiian Electric's MD&A and Hawaiian Electric's "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

------

**Holding company and company-wide risks.**

*<u>Losses resulting from the Maui windstorm and wildfires did and may continue to have a material adverse effect on HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations</u>.* 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 Department of Fire and Public Safety and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives reports classified the cause of the fire as "accidental."

Effective November 1, 2024, HEI and Hawaiian Electric entered into the Settlement Agreements (as defined herein) to settle the tort-related legal claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires. One of the Settlement Agreements, the Class Settlement Agreement (as defined herein) remains subject to final court approval.

HEI and Hawaiian Electric have agreed to make substantial payments to settle all Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims if all conditions of the Settlement Agreements are satisfied. 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 for the *One 'Ohana Initiative* (a humanitarian aid fund to provide payments outside of litigation to the beneficiaries of those who died, as well as compensation for personal injury damages). The total settlement amount is to be divided between two settlement funds, one for the benefit of individual plaintiffs, and the other for the benefit of the class plaintiffs. HEI and Hawaiian Electric must pay such 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. The Settlement Agreements also provide that $500 million of the total settlement payments will be reserved and made available to defendants to defray the cost to resolve any claims brought by plaintiffs who do not release claims as part of the settlements.

If all conditions of the Settlement Agreements are satisfied, HEI expects to finance the settlement payments through a mix of debt, common equity, equity-linked securities or other potential options. While HEI management believes it will be able to raise the capital necessary to finance the settlement payments, there is no assurance that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts, on a timely basis or on reasonable terms acceptable to HEI, if at all.

If HEI's financing plans are unsuccessful, HEI and Hawaiian Electric may need to consider other strategic alternatives, including delaying strategic initiatives, selling assets, or other strategic measures including, without limitation, obtaining relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Such alternatives could adversely affect our financial results or other factors impacting our finances, operations or HEI's stock valuation.

The Settlement Agreements do not resolve claims with insurers who have asserted subrogation claims in separate lawsuits, and such insurers are not parties to the Settlement Agreements, but resolution of their claims through an agreement or a final unappealable court order is a condition to the defendants' payment obligations under the Settlement Agreements. 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.

If the conditions of the Settlement Agreements are not satisfied or the agreements are otherwise terminated, HEI and Hawaiian Electric intend to vigorously defend against the litigation. There is no assurance that HEI and Hawaiian Electric will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance proceeds will be available to fund any potential settlements, judgments, or costs associated with the litigation.

There can be no assurance that HEI and Hawaiian Electric will have the liquidity to make the payments required under the Settlement Agreements. The amount of any liability arising from the Maui windstorm and wildfires could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.

*<u>HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's access to lower cost sources of capital will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of the downgrades in their debt credit ratings to below investment grade</u>.* In August 2023, HEI and Hawaiian Electric received

------

multiple downgrades to their debt, including to ratings below investment grade, by Fitch, Moody's and S&P. As of February 17, 2026, the Fitch, Moody's and S&P ratings of HEI and Hawaiian Electric were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fitch** | **Moody's** | **S&P** |

| Outlook | Positive | Positive | Watch Positive |

---

<sup>1</sup> Rating withdrawn due to preferred stock redemption in the fourth quarter of 2025.

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not rated.

NP - Not Prime

WR - Withdrawn rating

Note: The above ratings reflect only the view, at the time the ratings are issued or affirmed, of the applicable rating agency, from whom an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained. Such ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities; such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies; and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Unless and until these debt ratings are upgraded to investment grade, the Company will continue to have restricted access to lower cost sources of capital. Recent projects, such as, wildfire mitigation plan, grid modernization, reliability and resilience all require significant capital expenditures to implement. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary financing to achieve its business objectives as a result of the downgrades. Accordingly, the Company's financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely impacted if debt credit ratings are maintained at below investment grade for an extended period of time.

HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings only reflect the view, at the time the ratings are issued, of the applicable rating agency. There is no assurance that any such credit rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that such rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency if, in such rating agency's judgment, circumstances, such as current, past or future effects or events so warrant. Any such lowering, suspension or withdrawal of any rating may have an adverse effect on the availability of capital to the Company or the market price or marketability of HEI's and/or Hawaiian Electric's securities, which could increase the cost of capital of HEI and Hawaiian Electric, and such increased costs, including interest charges, under HEI's and/or Hawaiian Electric's debt securities and credit facilities, would result in reductions in HEI's consolidated net income in future periods. Because HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings were downgraded, HEI and Hawaiian Electric are unable to sell commercial paper and were required to draw on more expensive bank lines of credit and prioritize capital and other expenditures. Neither HEI nor Hawaiian Electric management can predict the duration of the downgrades and future rating agency actions or their effects on the future cost of capital of HEI or Hawaiian Electric. Such ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities; such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies; and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

*<u>Extreme weather events and other natural disasters, particularly those exacerbated by evolving climate dynamics such as the Maui windstorm and wildfires, could materially affect Hawaiian Electric's assets and infrastructure, particularly if such infrastructure is damaged or is found to have contributed to other catastrophic events such as a wildfire</u>.* Extreme weather-related incidents and other natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions, mudslides, hurricanes, tsunamis and other storms, can interfere with the generation and transmission of electricity, and can seriously damage the infrastructure necessary to deliver electricity to customers. Damage to Hawaiian Electric's infrastructure can also cause or contribute to additional loss through events such as wildfires. These risks are increasing, as evolving climate dynamics have exacerbated some of the conditions that lead to these extreme weather events and natural disasters. Such an event can result in lost revenue and increased expenses for the Utilities, but it also can result in regulatory penalties and disallowances if Hawaiian Electric is unable to restore power on a timely basis. Also, an extreme event can lead to significant claims for damages, including for loss of life and property, and has been the case with the Maui windstorm and wildfires. Therefore, these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

------

*<u>Holding Company Risk—HEI is a holding company that derives its income from its principal operating subsidiary, Hawaiian Electric, and depends on the ability of Hawaiian Electric to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI and on its own ability to raise capital</u>.* HEI is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. As a holding company, HEI's cash flows and consequent ability to service its obligations and pay dividends on its common stock is dependent upon its receipt of dividends or other distributions from Hawaiian Electric and its ability to issue common stock or other equity securities and to incur additional debt. A material reduction or delay in dividends or other distributions by Hawaiian Electric for an extended period of time, such as a continuation or expansion of the reduction in dividends that HEI currently is experiencing due to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The ability of Hawaiian Electric to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI, in turn, is subject to the risks associated with their operations and to contractual and regulatory restrictions, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions of an HEI agreement with the PUC (PUC Agreement), which could limit the ability of HEI's principal electric public utility subsidiary, Hawaiian Electric, to pay dividends to HEI in the event that the consolidated common stock equity of the Utilities falls below 35% of total capitalization of the Utilities. As of December 31, 2025, the consolidated common stock equity of HEI's electric utility subsidiaries was 42% of their total capitalization based on the current definition under the PUC Agreement and, as a result, the Utilities are restricted in cash payment of their dividend to HEI at this time (see Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions of debt instruments of HEI and its subsidiaries.

*<u>Credit and Capital Market Risk—The Company, and its lowered credit rating, is subject to risks associated with the Hawaii economy, including catastrophic events such as the Maui windstorm and wildfires (in the aggregate and on an individual island basis), volatile U.S. capital markets and changes in the interest rate and credit market environment that have or could result in higher retirement benefit plan funding requirements and restrictions on the ability of HEI or its subsidiaries to borrow money or issue securities</u>.* The two largest components of Hawaii's economy are tourism and the federal government (including the military). Because the core businesses of HEI's subsidiaries are providing local public electric utility services (through Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries), the Company's operating results are significantly influenced by: Hawaii's economy, which in turn is influenced by economic conditions in the mainland U.S. (particularly California) and Asia (particularly Japan) as a result of the impact of those conditions on tourism; by the impact of interest rates on the construction and real estate industries and by the impact of federal government spending in Hawaii, which can be affected by world conditions; and, from time to time, the expiration of federal government appropriations bills. In addition, the Hawaii economy could be directly or indirectly affected by implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions and the potential impacts of global and local developments (including economic conditions and uncertainties; unrest, terrorist acts, wars (such as the Russia-Ukraine war), conflicts, political protests, deadly virus epidemic, pandemics, or other crisis; the effects of changes that have or may occur in U.S. policy, such as with respect to immigration and trade).

Changes in the U.S. capital markets can also have significant effects on the Company. For example, pension funding requirements are affected by the market performance of the assets in the master pension trust maintained for pension plans, and by the discount rate used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost and value obligations. The Utilities' pension tracking mechanisms help moderate pension expense; however, a significant reduction in the discount rate or in the value of the Company's defined benefit pension plan assets could result in a substantial increase in the gap between the projected benefit obligations under the plans and the value of plan assets, resulting in increases in funding requirements.

HEI and the Utilities are also exposed to interest rate risk primarily due to their periodic borrowing requirements, the discount rate used to determine pension funding requirements and the possible effect of interest rates on the Utilities' rates of return. Interest rates are sensitive to many factors, including general economic conditions and the policies of government and regulatory authorities. HEI cannot predict future changes in interest rates, nor be certain that interest rate risk management strategies it or its subsidiaries have implemented will be successful in managing interest rate risk.

*<u>There may be future conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and it is possible that any plan developed to alleviate such doubt may be unsuccessful. In addition, any capital raised may result in dilution to our current shareholders</u>.* For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations of approximately $1.32 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Utilities incurred net losses of approximately $1.23 billion. The net losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were primarily due to the accruals of estimated wildfire liabilities in the second and third quarters of 2024, totaling approximately $1.92 billion related to the Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims. The Company previously disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, that based on its financial and liquidity condition, and because it had not yet implemented a capital financing plan to address proposed wildfire settlement payments, there was substantial doubt about HEI's and the Utilities' ability to continue as a going concern. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company was able to alleviate the conditions that caused the substantial doubt about HEI's and the Utilities' ability to continue as a going concern.

------

Management believes the Company's cash and cash equivalents amount of $502 million and GLST1's restricted cash amount of $479 million, both as of December 31, 2025, the available capacity on Hawaiian Electric's asset-based lending facility (ABL Facility) (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein), additional liquidity under HEI's registered at-the-market offering program as well as expenditure reduction efforts effectively alleviate any conditions that may cause substantial doubt regarding HEI's and Utilities' ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has adequate cash to meet its financial obligations and sustain operations in the short term, including available sufficient liquidity to fund the first installment of the settlement of wildfire tort claims (expected to be made no sooner than early 2026) and its other cash obligations for the next 12 months following the issuance of its financial statements. The plans that have been implemented have mitigated the conditions that previously caused the substantial doubt about HEI's and the Utilities' ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of filing their 2024 second quarter financial statements. Although the Company has raised sufficient cash to pay the first installment of the settlement of wildfire tort claims, the Company is currently working with its financial advisors on a financing plan to raise the additional capital necessary to fund the remaining settlement of wildfire tort claims. While management believes the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital, there is no assurance that management's plans will be successful. If the financing plans are unsuccessful, the Company may need to consider other strategic alternatives.

The recurrence of any substantial doubt about HEI's and the Utilities' ability to continue as a going concern may affect the price of our common stock, may impact our relationship with third parties with whom the Company does business, including our vendors, lenders and employees, may impact our ability to raise additional capital or refinance existing debt and may impact our ability to comply, going forward, with certain covenants in our debt agreements and/or satisfy conditions to draw thereunder, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations.

*<u>If a court-approved definitive settlement agreement to resolve Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims is not obtained, or if financing for settlement payments is not available, the Company may need to consider other alternatives for addressing the outstanding legal claims or settlement payments, and such alternatives could adversely affect our financial results or other factors impacting our finances, operations or stock valuation</u>.* As described more fully in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, the Company entered into Settlement Agreements effective November 1, 2024, to resolve all Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims, including all claims among the defendants. Such Settlement Agreements are subject to court approval, and other conditions including resolution of the claims of the insurance companies that have paid claims for property loss and other damages. If all conditions of the Settlement Agreements are satisfied, the Company has agreed to make substantial payments to settle all Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims. As described more fully in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, if the conditions of the Settlement Agreements are not satisfied or the agreements are otherwise terminated, the Company intends to vigorously defend against the litigation. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance proceeds will be available to fund any potential settlements, judgments, or costs associated with the litigation.

If all conditions of the Settlement Agreements are satisfied, the Company expects to finance the settlement payments through a mix of debt, common equity, equity-linked securities or other potential options. While management believes the Company will be able to raise the capital necessary to finance the settlement payments, there is no assurance that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts, on a timely basis or on reasonable terms acceptable to us, if at all.

If the Company's financing plans are unsuccessful, the Company may need to consider other strategic alternatives, including delaying strategic initiatives, selling assets, or other strategic measures including, without limitation, obtaining relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Such alternatives could adversely affect our financial results or other factors impacting our finances, operations or stock valuation.

*<u>Shareholders of HEI's common stock may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings</u>.* In order to raise additional capital, including capital necessary to fund litigation settlement expenses, the Company may in the future offer additional shares of HEI's Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for HEI Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the current market price per share, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which the Company may sell additional shares of HEI Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into HEI Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the current market price per share of HEI Common Stock.

In addition, any future sales of a substantial number of shares of HEI Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of HEI Common Stock. The Company cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock, or the perception that those shares may be sold, will have on the market price of HEI Common Stock. Further, the Company may not have the ability to raise the amount of capital necessary on reasonable terms, or at all, to fund our contribution to the Maui wildfire tort litigation settlement, and uncertainties about the Company's access to capital could have a material adverse effect on the market price of HEI Common Stock.

------

*<u>The Company does not expect to pay any dividends on HEI Common Stock in the foreseeable future</u>.* The Company does not currently intend to pay dividends on HEI Common Stock and currently intends to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of the Company's business and to fund future settlement payments of the tort-related legal claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires. In addition, the terms of certain existing and any future debt agreements may preclude the Company from paying dividends on HEI Common Stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of HEI Common Stock may be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

*<u>Tax Legislation Risk—Adverse tax rulings or developments or changes in tax legislation could result in significant increases in tax payments and/or expense</u>.* Governmental taxing authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by HEI or its subsidiaries and if the taxing authorities prevail, HEI's consolidated tax payments and/or expense, including applicable penalties and interest, could increase significantly. Additionally, changes in tax legislation or IRS interpretations could increase the Company's tax burden and adversely affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

*<u>Geographic Concentration Risk—The Company is subject to the risks associated with the geographic concentration of its businesses and current lack of interconnections that could result in service interruptions at the Utilities</u>.* The business of the Utilities is concentrated on the individual islands they serve in the State of Hawaii. Their operations are more vulnerable to service interruptions than that of many U.S. mainland utilities because none of the systems of the Utilities are interconnected with the systems on the other islands they serve. Because of this lack of interconnections, it is necessary to maintain higher generation reserve margins than are typical for U.S. mainland utilities to help ensure reliable service. Service interruptions, including, in particular, extended interruptions that could result from a natural disaster or terrorist activity, could adversely impact the revenues and costs of some or all of the Utilities.

*<u>Competitive and Technological Risk—Increasing competition and technological advances could cause HEI's businesses to lose customers or render their operations obsolete</u>.* Certain aspects of the electric utility industry are competitive. The success of HEI's subsidiaries in meeting competition and responding to technological advances will continue to have a direct impact on HEI's consolidated financial performance. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Utilities face competition from customer self-generation, with or without cogeneration; customer energy storage; wheeling of renewable energy under Senate Bill 589, now known as Act 266, and the potential formation of community-based, cooperative ownership or municipality structures for electrical service on all islands it serves. With the exception of certain identified projects, the Utilities are required to use competitive bidding to acquire a future generation resource unless the PUC finds competitive bidding to be unsuitable. This means that unless exempt, proposed company-owned generation projects must be bid into a request for proposals which is open to IPPs, and be selected under a competitive bidding process. The PUC sets policies for distributed generation interconnection agreements and standby rates. The results of competitive bidding, customer self-generation, wheeling, and potential cooperative ownership or municipality structures for electric utility service, and the rate at which technological developments facilitating nonutility generation of electricity, combined heat and power technology, off-grid microgrids, and customer energy storage may render the operations of the Utilities less competitive or outdated and adversely affect the Utilities and the results of their operations.

*<u>Cybersecurity and Physical Security Risk—The Company's information technology systems and operations could be impacted by a cyber incident, cybersecurity breach, or physical attack that could materially and adversely affect its businesses and reputation</u>.* The Company and its subsidiaries rely on information technology systems, some of which are managed or hosted by third party service providers, to manage its business data, communications, and other business processes. Such information technology systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks or other security incidents, which could result in unauthorized access to confidential data, ransomware demands or disruptions to operations. In addition, there is increasing cybersecurity risk associated with the broad adoption of a remote working environment. If the Company is unable to prevent or adequately respond to and resolve an incident, it may have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

------

state threat actors, criminal organizations, power or communication failures or similar events. Any such failure could have a material adverse impact on the Utilities' ability to process transactions and provide service, as well the Utilities' financial condition and results of operations. Physical attacks targeting physical assets or personnel could cause damage, disrupt operations, or cause injuries. Any failure, interruption, or decrease in the functionality of the Utility's operational networks could cause harm to the public or employees, significantly disrupt operations, negatively impact the Utility's ability to operate in a safe and efficient manner, and damage the Utility's assets or operations or those of third parties. Further, a data breach involving theft, improper disclosure, or other unauthorized access to or acquisition of confidential information could subject the Utilities to penalties for violation of applicable privacy laws, claims by third parties, and enforcement actions by government agencies. A data breach could also reduce the value of proprietary information, and harm the reputation of the Utilities.

Private and public entities, such as the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, and the U.S. federal government, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Energy, and the White House, have noted that cyberattacks targeting utility systems are increasing in sophistication, magnitude, and frequency. The Utilities' systems have been, and will likely continue to be, a target of attacks. Further, the Utilities' operational networks may be subject to unforeseen operational/cybersecurity risks due to the reliance on legacy operational components or modernizing and interconnecting existing infrastructure with new technologies and control systems, including those owned by third parties, such as independent power producers, distributed energy resource aggregators and customers. Although the Utilities have not experienced a material cybersecurity or physical security breach to date, such incidents may occur and may have a material adverse effect on the Utilities and the Company in the future. The Utilities continue to make investments in their cybersecurity and physical security programs, including personnel, technologies, cyber insurance and training of Utilities personnel; however, there can be no assurance that these systems or their expected functionality will be implemented, maintained, or expanded effectively; nor can security measures completely eliminate the possibility of a cybersecurity breach or physical attack. The Utilities maintain cyber liability insurance that covers certain damages caused by cyber incidents. However, there is no guarantee that adequate insurance will continue to be available at rates the Utilities believe are reasonable or that the costs of responding to, and recovering from, a cyber incident will be covered by insurance or recoverable in rates. If the Utilities' operational technologies or networks were to malfunction or fail or cybersecurity or other security measures were to be breached, the Utilities could suffer financial loss, business disruptions, liability to customers, regulatory intervention or damage to their reputations.

Due to the size, scope and complexity of the Utilities' business, the development and maintenance of information technology systems to process and track information is critical and challenging. The Utilities often rely on third-party vendors to host, maintain, modify, and update its systems and these third-party vendors could cease to exist, fail to establish adequate processes to protect the Utilities systems and information, experience supply chain compromises or other internal or external security incidents. In addition, the Utilities are pursuing complex business transformation initiatives, which include the implementation of new systems and the upgrade or replacement of existing systems. Significant system changes increase the risk of system interruptions, which may occur. Further, delay or failure to complete the integration of information systems and processes may result in delays in regulatory cost recovery, or the failure to realize the benefits anticipated to be derived from these initiatives.

The Utilities' disaster recovery plans may not be successful in preventing the loss of customer data, service interruptions and disruptions to operations or damage to important facilities. If any of these systems fail to operate properly or become disabled and the Utilities' disaster recovery plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, the Utilities could suffer financial loss, business disruptions, liability to customers, regulatory intervention or damage to their reputations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities' and the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

*<u>Uninsured Losses—HEI's businesses could suffer losses that are uninsured due to a lack of affordable insurance coverage, unavailability of insurance coverage or limitations on the insurance coverage the Company does have</u>.* In the ordinary course of business, HEI and its subsidiaries purchase insurance coverages (e.g., property and liability coverages) to protect against loss of, or damage to, their properties and against claims made by third parties and employees for property damage or personal injuries. However, the protection provided by such insurance is limited in significant respects and, in some instances, there is no coverage. Some of the insurance coverages have substantial deductibles or have limits on the maximum amounts that may be recovered. In common with other companies in its line of business, the Utilities' overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems (with the exception of substation buildings and contents), which have a replacement value roughly estimated at $14 billion, are largely not insured against loss or damage because the amount of transmission and distribution system insurance capacity is limited and the premiums are cost prohibitive. Similarly, the Utilities have no business interruption insurance as the premiums for such insurance would be cost prohibitive, particularly since the Utilities are not interconnected to other systems. If a hurricane or other uninsured catastrophic natural disaster were to occur, and if the PUC did not allow the affected Utilities to recover from ratepayers restoration costs and revenues lost from business interruption, the lost revenues and repair expenses could result in a significant decrease in HEI's consolidated net income or in significant net losses for the affected periods.

------

Related to damages and costs incurred as a result of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the Company has property insurance with a total policy limit of $500 million, subject to a $1 million retention, for wildfire damages related to Utility-owned non-generating assets, including overhead transmission and distribution assets within 1,000 feet of such assets. The Company also 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 $0.1 million, respectively, and $145 million directors and officers liability insurance to cover claims related to shareholder and derivative lawsuits, with a retention of $1.0 million. The aggregate damages and costs associated with the Maui windstorm and wildfires could significantly exceed the Company's policy limits.

*<u>Environmental Regulation—Increased federal and state environmental regulation will require an increasing commitment of resources and funds and could result in construction delays or penalties and fines for non-compliance</u>.* HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, hazardous substances, waste management, natural resources and health and safety, which regulate, among other matters, the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous and toxic wastes and substances. These laws and regulations could result in increased capital, operating, and other costs. HEI or its subsidiaries are currently involved in investigatory or remedial actions at current, former or third-party sites and there is no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs relating to these sites. In addition, compliance with these legal requirements requires the Utilities to commit significant resources and funds toward, among other things, environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment, payment of emission fees and natural resource minimization and mitigation costs. These laws and regulations, among other things, require that certain environmental permits be obtained in order to construct or operate certain facilities, and obtaining such permits can entail significant expense and cause substantial construction delays. Also, these laws and regulations may be amended from time to time, including amendments that increase the burden and cost of compliance. For example, emission and/or discharge limits may be tightened, more extensive permitting requirements may be imposed and additional substances may become regulated. In addition, significant regulatory uncertainty exists regarding the impact of federal or state greenhouse gas emission limits and reductions.

If HEI or its subsidiaries fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, even if caused by factors beyond their control, that failure may result in civil or criminal penalties and fines or the cessation of operations that could have a material adverse on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

**Electric utility risks.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following risks are generally specific to Hawaiian Electric, but could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

*<u>Regulatory Risk—Actions of the PUC are outside the control of the Utilities and could result in inadequate or untimely rate increases, rate reductions or refunds or unanticipated delays, expenses or writedowns in connection with the construction of new projects</u>.* The rates the Utilities are allowed to charge for their services and the timeliness of permitted rate increases are among the most important items influencing the Utilities' results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The PUC has broad discretion over the rates that the Utilities charge their customers. On December 23, 2020, as part of the D&O establishing the PBR Framework, the PUC established a five-year Multi-year Rate Period (MRP) during which there will be no general rate cases. In the fourth year of the MRP, the PUC began its comprehensive review of the PBR Framework to determine if any modifications or revisions are appropriate. The Utilities are currently exploring a collaborative non-rate case re-basing proposal under the PBR Framework as an alternative to a rate case process. This alternative could be implemented by January 2027. If a satisfactory non-rate case re-basing alternative cannot be achieved, the Utilities would file a rate case in the second half of 2026, utilizing a 2027 test year.

Any adverse decision by the PUC concerning the level or method of determining electric utility rates at the end of the MRP, including the items and amounts that may be included in rate base, the returns on equity or rate base found to be reasonable, the potential consequences of exceeding or not meeting such returns, the denial of exceptional project recovery applications during the MRP, adverse impact of adjustments made to the PBR Framework, decisions on recovery of exogenous items under the PBR Framework, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision in a rate or other proceeding could have a material adverse effect on Hawaiian Electric's consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

To improve the timing and certainty of cost recovery, the Utilities have received approval of various recovery mechanisms, including an ECRC (which includes a PUC-ordered 98%/2% risk-sharing split between customers and the Utilities for fossil fuel price variations from baseline prices, with a current annual aggregate exposure cap of +/- $3.7 million), a PPAC, and pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms, as well as a decoupling mechanism, an exceptional project recovery mechanism (EPRM) (formerly Major Project Interim Recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism), and a Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program surcharge. Any modification or elimination of these cost recovery mechanisms could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities. See "Regulatory mechanisms" in Electric utility's Business.

------

Under the PBR Framework, the Utilities' annual revenue adjustment (ARA) includes a customer dividend consisting of a negative adjustment of 0.22% compounded annually and a flow through of the "pre-PBR" savings commitment from the management audit recommendations developed in the 2020 test year rate case. The ability of the Utilities to recover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by the ARA or not achieving the customer dividend and cost savings commitment could have a material adverse effect on the Utilities. In addition, several existing Performance Incentive Mechanisms (PIMs) remain in effect. The PUC has indicated that in the next phase of PBR review, it will examine modifications to the I-factor and the customer dividend provisions of the ARA, the earnings sharing mechanism, revenue opportunities from the X-factor and the EPRM guidelines, and the PIM portfolio. The assessment of penalties for not achieving performance goals or the failure to achieve PIMs rewards could affect the Utilities' ability to achieve their allowed ROACEs and also have a material adverse effect on the Utilities.

Related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the Utilities obtained PUC approval to defer certain non-labor expenses incurred from August 8, 2023 through December 31, 2025 that are not already a part of base rates. 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. Additionally, 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. See "Performance-based regulation framework" and "Regulatory assets for Maui windstorm and wildfires related costs" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Based on the current operations of the Utilities and regulatory framework, including the impact of the approved PBR Framework, the Utilities continue to follow regulatory accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980. Continued accounting in this manner requires that certain criteria relating to the recoverability of such costs through rates be met, including achieved financial results that support the recovery of costs. If events or circumstances change, such that the criteria are no longer satisfied, the Utilities expect that their regulatory assets (amounting to $308 million as of December 31, 2025), net of regulatory liabilities (amounting to $1,444 million as of December 31, 2025), would be charged to the statement of income in the period of discontinuance. See "Performance-based regulation framework" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Utilities could be required to refund, with interest, any revenues collected from customers under interim rate orders in their rate case proceedings and other proceedings that exceed the amounts approved in final orders.

Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits (e.g., environmental and land use permits) from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits, or any adverse decision or policy made or adopted, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision, by an agency with respect to such approvals and permits, can significantly increase project costs or lead to project cancellation. In the event a project does not proceed, or if the PUC disallows cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if project costs exceed caps imposed by the PUC in its approval of the project, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric's consolidated net income. In addition, as the Utilities may retire fossil fuel generating units before fully recovering of its investment and the PUC disallows recovery of undepreciated costs, the resulting write-offs could have an adverse impact on the Utilities' results of operations.

*<u>Weather Conditions Risk—Electric utility operations are significantly influenced by weather conditions and natural disasters</u>.* The Utilities' results of operations can be affected by the weather and natural disasters. Weather conditions, particularly temperature and humidity, directly impact the demand for electricity. Additionally, severe weather and natural disasters may become more intense and/or frequent because of evolving global climate dynamics. Recent natural disasters such as the Kilauea eruption in 2018, Mauna Loa eruption in 2022, and the Maui windstorm and wildfires in 2023, have disrupted electric utility operations. These types of events can cause outages, property damage and result in significant additional expenses that may not always be recoverable.

*<u>Evolving Climate Dynamics Risk—Electric utility operations may be significantly influenced by evolving climate dynamics</u>.* While the timing, extent and ultimate effects of evolving climate dynamics cannot be determined with any certainty, such dynamics are predicted to cause sea level rise, which could impact coastal and low-lying areas where much of the Utilities' electric infrastructure is located. Potential consequences include erosion of beaches, saltwater intrusion into aquifers and surface ecosystems, higher water tables and increased flooding and storm damage due to heavy rainfall. Evolving climate dynamics may also intensify extreme weather conditions including floods, hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts which could increase wildfire risk. These factors along with changes in sea levels, water availability and water quality have the potential to materially and adversely affect the Utilities' results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. For example, severe weather and its related impacts could cause significant harm to the Utilities' physical facilities.

------

*<u>Third Party Performance Risk—Electric utility operations depend heavily on third-party suppliers of fuel and purchased power</u>.* The Utilities rely on fuel suppliers and shippers, and IPPs to deliver fuel and power, respectively, in accordance with contractual agreements. Approximately 75% of the net energy generated or purchased by the Utilities in 2025 was generated from the burning of fossil fuel oil, and purchases of power by the Utilities provided about 41% of their total net energy generated and purchased for the same period. Failure or delay by fuel suppliers and shippers to provide fuel pursuant to existing contracts, or failure by a major IPP to deliver as anticipated in its PPA, could disrupt the ability of the Utilities to deliver electricity, affect the Utilities' maintenance schedules that could affect future reliability and require the Utilities to incur additional expenses to meet the needs of their customers that may not be recoverable. In addition, as the IPP contracts near the end of their terms, there may be less economic incentive for the IPPs to make investments in their units to ensure the availability of their units. Also, as these contractual agreements end, the Utilities may not be able to purchase fuel and power on terms equivalent to the current contractual agreements.

*<u>Capacity Risk—The capacity provided by the Utilities' generating resources and third-party purchased power may not be sufficient to meet customers' energy requirements</u>.* The Utilities rely upon their generating resources and purchased power from third parties to meet their customers' energy requirements. The Utilities update their generation capacity evaluation each year to determine the Utilities' ability to meet reasonably expected demands for service and provide reasonable reserves for emergencies and other unplanned events. These evaluations are impacted by a variety of factors, including customer energy demand, energy conservation and efficiency initiatives, economic conditions, and weather patterns. If the capacity provided by the Utilities' generating resources and third-party purchased power is not adequate relative to customer demand, the Utilities may have to contract to buy more power from third parties, invest in additional generating facilities over the long-term, or extend the operating life of existing utility units. Any failure to meet customer energy requirements could negatively impact the satisfaction of the Utilities' customers, which could have an adverse impact on the Utilities' business, reputation and results of operations.

The Energy Reserve Margin, the planning criteria used to determine generation adequacy, is the percentage which the system generation capacity must exceed the system load in each hour. The Utilities' Energy Reserve Margin is satisfied from 2026 through 2030 with the addition of planned generation and storage resource additions for all islands except for Hawaii Island and Lanai, which forecasts are near or slightly below target levels. The One Big Beautiful Act signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, impacts the ability of recently selected and new wind and solar projects to qualify for federal tax credits. Any loss in renewable energy tax credits will likely result in higher prices for new renewable projects, which rely on such incentives to provide clean, affordable energy. The Utilities have plans to address these issues through managing maintenance schedules of existing generations, and if necessary, may request for voluntary customer conservation during periods of high power demands. The environment for resource planning has increased in complexity and uncertainty and the Utilities will continue using a portfolio approach to meet its obligation to serve. This includes increased renewable energy, energy storage, and other potential options, both supply side and customer programs. If the Utilities are unable to meet customer energy requirements, it could negatively impact the satisfaction of the Utilities' customers, which could have an adverse impact on the Utilities' business, reputation and results of operations.

*<u>Stakeholder Activism Risk—Electric utility and third-party purchased power projects may be significantly impacted by stakeholder activism</u>.* The potential impact of stakeholder activism could increase total utility project costs, and delay the permitting, construction and overall timing or preclude the completion of third-party or utility projects that are required to meet electricity demand, resilience and reliability objectives, and RPS and other climate-related goals. If a utility project cannot be completed, the project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric's consolidated net income and negatively impact its financial condition and liquidity.

*<u>Operational Risk—Electric utility generating facilities are subject to operational risks that could result in unscheduled plant outages, unanticipated and/or increased operation and maintenance expenses, increased power purchase costs, and decreased reliability</u>.* Operation of electric generating facilities involves certain risks which can adversely affect energy output, efficiency levels, and reliability. Included among these risks are facility shutdowns or power interruptions due to insufficient generation or a breakdown or failure of equipment or processes. In addition, operations could be negatively impacted by interruptions in fuel supply, inability to negotiate satisfactory collective bargaining agreements when existing agreements expire or other labor disputes, inability to comply with regulatory or permit requirements, disruptions in delivery of electricity, operator error, adverse weather or environmental conditions and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, fires, explosions, lava flows, floods or other similar occurrences affecting the Utilities' generating facilities or transmission and distribution systems.

*<u>Workforce Retention Risk—The Utilities may be adversely affected by not being able to attract and retain qualified personnel</u>.* The Utilities' workforce, particularly key executives, are critical to their ability to achieve their business strategies. If the Utilities are unable to successfully attract or retain a skilled workforce, the Utilities may face the risk of disruptions, which could have an adverse impact on the Utilities' business and results of operations. For example, Act 258 sets forth a condition on the securitization that may prohibit the Utilities from providing any increase in compensation, including any

------

bonuses, to their officers for a period of time determined by the PUC. The inability to provide reasonable compensation could negatively impact the Utilities' ability to attract and retain qualified executives.

*<u>Legislative Risk—The Utilities may be adversely affected by new legislation, executive orders or administrative actions</u>.* The Utilities operations are subject to regulations under a wide variety of federal and state regulations and policies. Changes to federal and state laws, rules, regulations and policies are continuous and ongoing and the federal administration, the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and state administrations may enact and implement new laws, regulations and policies that could adversely and materially affect us. The new federal administration has indicated its intent to implement material changes to the federal government's structure and operations and to advocate material changes to federal laws, regulations and policies. The Utilities cannot predict future changes in laws, regulations and policies, how they will be implemented and interpreted, or the ultimate effect that this changing environment will have on us. There can be no assurance that laws, regulations and policies will not be changed in ways that have a material adverse effect on the Utilities' operations, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The federal and state executive branches, Congress, the Hawaii legislature and governmental agencies have adopted, or are considering adopting, a number of measures that will significantly affect the Utilities, as described below.

*Renewable Portfolio Standards law*. The 2001 Hawaii Legislature adopted a law requiring the Utilities to meet a renewable portfolio standard, which has been amended over the years. The most recent amendment to Hawaii's RPS law occurred in July 2022, which former Governor Ige signed as Act 240 (H.B.2089), that amended the RPS calculation from renewable energy as a percentage of sales to renewable energy as a percentage of total generation. The amended RPS calculation results in a lower calculated percentage than the amount calculated under the previous methodology. The change in the definition is to be applied prospectively to future milestone measurements and will require that the Utilities acquire more renewable energy than under the previous RPS calculation to comply with the RPS milestones. The Utilities are committed to achieving these milestones and met the 2015 and 2020 RPS; however, risks such as potential delays in IPPs being able to deliver contracted renewable energy, it is possible the Utilities may not attain the required renewable percentages in the future, and management cannot predict the future consequences of failure to do so (including potential penalties to be assessed by the PUC). On December 19, 2008, the PUC approved a penalty of $20 for every megawatt-hour (MWh) that an electric utility is deficient under Hawaii's RPS law. The PUC noted, however, that this penalty may be reduced, in the PUC's discretion, due to events or circumstances that are outside an electric utility's reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be reasonably foreseen and ameliorated, as described in the RPS law and in an RPS framework adopted by the PUC. In addition, the PUC ordered that the Utilities will be prohibited from recovering any RPS penalty costs through rates.

*Renewable energy.* In 2007, a measure was passed by the Hawaii legislature stating that the PUC may consider the need for increased renewable energy in rendering decisions on utility matters. Due to this measure, it is possible that, if energy from a renewable source is more expensive than energy from fossil fuel, the PUC may still approve the purchase of energy from the renewable source, resulting in higher costs.

*Executive orders*. 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.

*Evolving climate dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions reduction*. National and international concern about evolving climate dynamics and the contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels) to such dynamics have led to federal legislative and regulatory proposals and action by the State of Hawaii to reduce GHG emissions.

Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 269-6(b) requires that "in making determinations of the reasonableness of the costs pertaining to electric or gas utility system capital improvements and operations, the PUC shall explicitly consider, quantitatively or qualitatively, the effect of the state's reliance on fossil fuels on price volatility, export of funds for fuel imports, fuel supply reliability risk, and greenhouse gas emissions." Based on HRS § 269-6(b) and recent case law discussing the scope of this section, the Utilities are performing GHG analyses to quantitatively or qualitatively describe the GHG emissions of proposed projects involving system capital improvements and operations that are submitted to the PUC for approval. On June 20, 2024, House Bill 2390 was signed into law as Act 54 and took effect on July 1, 2024. Act 54 authorizes the PUC to waive a lifecycle GHG analysis for energy projects that do not involve combustion. On September 18, 2024, the PUC approved the Utilities' waiver requests for the Stage 3 solar plus storage and wind projects.

In June 2018, House Bill 2182 was signed into law as Act 15 and took effect on July 1, 2018. Among its provisions, Act 15 aligned the state's clean energy and carbon sequestration efforts with climate initiative goals and established a statewide carbon neutral goal by 2045. Under this Act, efforts would be made to "sequester more atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases than emitted within the state as quickly as practicable, but no later than 2045." The Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission, administratively placed under the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, was charged with endeavoring to achieve the target, and giving consideration to the impact of its plans, decisions and strategies on the state's

------

ability to attain the goal. The general functions, duties and powers of the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission are set forth in HRS § 225P-3. To achieve its mandates, the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission may recommend plans, decisions and strategies that could have an impact on various entities including the Utilities. In July 2022, House Bill 1800 was signed into law as Act 238 and took effect on July 1, 2022. The Act established a goal for the statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit to be at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.

The Utilities have taken, and continue to identify opportunities to take, direct action to reduce GHG emissions from their operations while focusing on reliability and managing cost impacts, including, but not limited to, supporting demand-side management programs that foster energy efficiency, using renewable resources for energy production and purchasing power from IPPs generated by renewable resources, and burning renewable biodiesel at selected Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electric generating units. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Utilities outlined their Climate Action Plan to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2030, compared to a 2005 baseline. The emissions covered by this goal include stack emissions from generation owned by Hawaiian Electric and IPPs who sell electricity to the Utilities. Since that time, delays and cancellations in the commercial operation of new renewable third-party generation resources and higher costs as a result of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, as well as federal policies have slowed the pace of progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Also, see the "Developments in renewable energy efforts—New renewable PPAs" section in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A. The One Big Beautiful Act signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025 may impact the ability of recently selected and new wind and solar projects to qualify for federal tax credits. Any loss in renewable energy tax credits could lead to project risk for new wind and solar projects in development and will likely result in higher prices for new renewable projects, which rely on such incentives to provide clean, affordable energy. Further, new tariffs imposed on equipment and materials used in the construction of renewable facilities will have an impact on pricing of new renewable projects. As a result of these challenges and the downgrade of Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings after the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the Utilities expect the planned 70% reduction in carbon emissions to be achieved later than the original 2030 target date. However, the Utilities will continue to replace significant amounts of fossil fuel generation with renewable energy between now and 2030 and expect to meet or exceed the State of Hawaii's 2030 RPS goals.

*Alternative business models*. The Utilities are regulated operations engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity as a vertically integrated electric company. Any changes through the enactment of law to their current business model to alternative models, such as co-ops or a municipal, or to unbundle generation from transmission and distribution could potentially cause the Utilities to lose their competitive advantages and negatively impact the Utilities' results of operations.

The foregoing legislation or legislation that now is, or may in the future be, proposed, such as potential carbon "cap and trade" legislation that, if applicable, may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation, present risks and uncertainties for the Utilities.

*<u>Renewable Transition Risk—The Utilities may be subject to increased operational challenges and their results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely impacted in meeting the commitments and objectives of clean energy initiatives, Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and other climate-related goals</u>.* The far-reaching nature of the Utilities' renewable energy commitments and the RPS and other climate related goals present risks to the Company. Among such risks are: (1) the potential delay by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) renewable energy proposals and related costs; (2) the dependence on outside parties, such as the state, developers and third-party suppliers of renewable energy, which if the Utilities are unsuccessful in negotiating purchased power agreements with such IPPs or if a major IPP delays or fails to deliver the anticipated capacity and/or energy in its purchased power agreement, could impact the Utilities' achievement of their commitments to RPS and other climate-related goals, eligibility for performance incentive mechanisms associated with the speed of increasing renewable generation, the ability to retire fossil fuel units, and/or the Utilities' ability to deliver reliable service; (3) delays in acquiring or unavailability of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable generation; (4) the impact of intermittent power to the electrical grid and reliability of service if appropriate supporting infrastructure is not installed or does not operate effectively; (5) the inability to recover the undepreciated cost of fossil fuel generating units if they are required to be retired before the end of their expected useful life; (6) uncertainties surrounding current and future renewable technologies, such as solar power, wind power, biofuels, battery storage, hydro, hydrogen, as well as related environmental assessments required to meet RPS and other climate-related goals; (7) uncertainty with regard to federal policy, including tax credit availability for both IPPs and Utility projects; (8) the impacts of implementation of the renewable energy proposals on future costs of electricity and potential penalties imposed by the PUC for delays in the commercial operations of renewable energy projects; (9) the likelihood that the Utilities may need to make substantial investments in related infrastructure, which could result in increased borrowings and, therefore, materially impact the financial condition and liquidity of the Utilities; (10) the imputed debt related to the executed renewable power purchase agreements could result in a credit rating downgrade for the Utilities and the Company; and (11) the commitment to support a variety of initiatives, which, if approved by the PUC, may have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition of the Utilities depending on their design and implementation. These initiatives include, but are not limited

------

to, programs to enable more customer-sited generation. The implementation of these or other programs may adversely impact the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the Utilities.

**HEI:** None.

**Hawaiian Electric:** Not applicable.

**ITEM 1C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CYBERSECURITY**

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**

*<u>System overview</u>.* 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.

*<u>Risk management and strategy</u>.* 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.

------

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.

*<u>Governance</u>.* Cybersecurity governance is a critically important part of managing security and risk, and helps ensure that the Utilities' cybersecurity program aligns with its business objectives, complies with government and industry regulations, and achieves the goals that leadership has set out for managing security and risk.

The Company's Board of Directors oversees risks from cybersecurity threats. Oversight includes quarterly or as needed reporting from the CISO on the overall cybersecurity risk reduction program maturity, emerging and current cybersecurity risks, and the cybersecurity threat landscape.

The CISO has over 30 years of experience in assessing and managing cyber risks, is responsible for day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks and regularly reports to the Board of Directors through the CPWG.

**All Other segment** 

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.

**HEI:**

Certain of the information required by this item is disclosed in Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and "Equity compensation plan information" under "Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters" of this Form 10-K.

HEI's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "HE." As of February 17, 2026, HEI had 2,663 registered shareholders (i.e., holders of record of HEI common stock), 17,477 DRIP participants and total record shareholders of 20,140. The HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation including, but not limited to, the Company's results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company, and the current and expected future economic conditions. In August 2023, due to the potential impact from the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the HEI Board of Directors voted to suspend the quarterly cash dividend, starting after the second quarter of 2023 dividend.

Purchases of HEI common shares were made on the open market during the fourth quarter to satisfy the requirements of certain plans as follows:

**HEI and Hawaiian Electric** (in the case of Hawaiian Electric, only the information related to Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries):

*The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes that appear in Item 8 of this report. For information on factors that may cause HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's actual future results to differ from those currently contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statements, see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the front of this report and "Risk Factors" in Item 1A. The general discussion of HEI's consolidated results should be read in conjunction with the Electric utility discussion that follows.* 

**HEI Consolidated**

**Executive overview and strategy.** HEI is a holding company with operations primarily focused on Hawaii's electric utility sector after selling its bank operations on December 31, 2024. In 2017, HEI formed Pacific Current to make investments in non-regulated renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects. 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. 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 were used to repay a ratable portion of each of HEI's senior notes in April 2025. Subsequent to the sale, HEI has 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.

*<u>Electric utility</u>.* Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric (Utilities) are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu; Hawaii; and Maui, Lanai and Molokai, respectively.

*<u>All Other</u>*. The All Other segment primarily comprises the results of Pacific Current, which invested in non-regulated clean energy and sustainable infrastructure in the State of Hawaii to help reach the state's sustainability goals, and HEI's corporate-level operating, general and administrative expenses. Subsequent to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, HEI and Pacific Current have suspended new investments and undertook a comprehensive review of strategic options for the assets of Pacific Current. As part of HEI's comprehensive review of strategic options for Pacific Current, all investments of Pacific Current that were made through its subsidiaries were sold in 2025, except for Mahipapa, its remaining operating subsidiary which is in the process of being sold. The All Other segment also includes ASB Hawaii, which previously owned ASB, and a 40% interest in GLST1, an entity 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 claims in the litigation arising out of the Maui windstorm and wildfires.

A major focus of HEI's financial strategy is to grow core earnings/profitability at the Utilities in a controlled risk manner and optimize operating, capital and tax efficiencies in order to support its dividend and deliver shareholder value. HEI also continues to work on strategic financing plans to raise capital necessary to fund the settlement of wildfire tort claims.

**Recent developments.** See also "Recent developments" in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A and Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements which includes recent updates and disclosures relating to the Maui windstorm and wildfires.

On September 5, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each amended their senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the HEI Revolving Facility and the Hawaiian Electric Revolving Facility, respectively) resulting in increased borrowing capacities and available liquidity. HEI increased its revolving commitments available under the HEI Revolving Facility to $300 million from $175 million and extended the termination date to September 5, 2030 from May 14, 2027. Hawaiian Electric increased its revolving commitments available under the Hawaiian Electric Revolving Facility to $300 million from $200 million and extended the termination date 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 Revolving Facility also allows for commitment increases of up to an additional $75 million, subject to customary conditions. Refer to Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional terms of the amended credit facilities.

In addition, on September 18, 2025, Hawaiian Electric issued $500 million in unsecured senior notes with an interest rate of 6.00% and maturing on October 1, 2033 (refer to Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional terms of the unsecured senior notes). A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the outstanding balance of the Utilities' revolving and term loan facilities and the remaining proceeds are intended to be used to 1) finance capital expenditures, 2) repay long-term debt and short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and 3) reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures.

------

In June 2025, the Utilities submitted a request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the ATRs. Beginning in 2024 and continuing into 2026, HEI has embarked on a strategy to divest all of its affiliated companies other than the Utilities, intending for the Utilities to be HEI's sole operating companies. Termination of the ATRs would allow implementation of a corporate integration, under which all HEI employees would move to Hawaiian Electric. A few officer positions would manage and operate both HEI and Hawaiian Electric (dual-hatted executives) and the HEI and Hawaiian Electric boards of directors would be composed of a single set of individuals. In September 2025, the PUC dismissed the request without prejudice. In its order, the PUC provided guidance on the topics to be addressed in any future request. On October 31, 2025 HEI and Hawaiian Electric filed a revised request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the ATRs. After responding to information requests from the Consumer Advocate, the Consumer Advocate issued its statement of position on February 4, 2026. The Consumer Advocate supported the approval of the request with the condition that before any recovery of expenses related to HEI, the Utilities should give the Consumer Advocate and the PUC advance notice of likely changes to recovery. HEI and Hawaiian Electric informed the PUC that the docket was ready for decision making on February 5, 2026.

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.

The tort 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. On December 30, 2025, the court entered judgment in favor of the defendants in the two principal direct subrogation actions brought by various insurers as to all direct subrogation claims except for 16 such claims associated with insureds who had opted out of the class settlement and had not yet settled. On January 21, 2026, certain plaintiff insurers appealed the grant of summary judgment in these two actions. No briefing schedules in these appeals have been set. 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.

In addition, 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. On March 9, 2026, the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii is scheduled to hold a hearing to determine whether to preliminarily approve the Derivative Litigation Settlement Agreement.

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.

On February 13, 2026, Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., and Maui Electric Company, Limited (collectively, the Hawaiian Electric Plaintiffs) filed suit against five of their insurers: Defendants XL Insurance Company of America, Inc., Allianz Global Risks US Insurance Company, the Princeton Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance Company, and General Security Indemnity Company of Arizona (the Insurers). The Insurers are commercial property insurers that insured the Hawaiian Electric Plaintiffs at the time of the August 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires. The Insurers have acknowledged coverage under the policies at issue for loss or damage to the Hawaiian Electric Defendants' property and have paid a portion of the companies' losses. However, the parties dispute the extent of the damage, the nature of coverage, and apportionment under the policies. Therefore, the Hawaiian Electric Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief regarding the extent of the Insurers' obligations under the policies, as well as a determination that the Insurers have breached the policies.

**Sustainability.** At HEI, sustainability principles have long been embedded as applicable within the Company's activities and are integral to the Company's efforts to create value for all of its stakeholders. With all of its operations isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Company's long-term health and financial performance are inextricably linked with the strength of the Hawaii economy, its communities, and the environment. That is why long-term shareholder and broader stakeholder value are both served by the Company's efforts to serve as a catalyst for a better Hawaii.

In 2021, the Company identified a number of priorities that reflect the essential connection between the health of Hawaii's environment, economy and communities and HEI's long-term success. Those sustainability priorities included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decarbonizing the Company's operations and the broader Hawaii economy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• promoting Hawaii's economic health and improving affordability for all residents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensuring resilience, including safety, as the Company adapts to evolving climate dynamics, which are exacerbating conditions that can lead to increasing risk of droughts, severe storms, flooding, wildfires and other extreme weather events and natural disasters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining resilience as the Company navigates the clean energy transition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advancing digitalization of the Company's operations to better serve customers and increase efficiency while protecting against cyber-security challenges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• promoting inclusion both within the Company and in the ways the Company interacts with and impacts external stakeholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing employee engagement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identifying and integrating climate-related risks and opportunities throughout the Company's planning and decision-making.

The Company has integrated sustainability considerations as appropriate into governance structures, strategies and risk management. This includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• full HEI Board review of sustainability-related strategies, Audit & Risk Committee oversight of sustainability-related risks, Compensation & Human Capital Management Committee responsibility for sustainability-related compensation matters and human capital management and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee responsibility for ensuring an appropriate board governance framework is in place with respect to sustainability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• robust sustainability and risk management expertise among board members, including directors with direct experience in renewable energy, policy and strategy in the context of evolving climate dynamics, and risk and environmental management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sustainability goals incorporated as part of HEI and Utility executive incentive compensation as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sustainability considerations explicitly woven into strategic planning efforts and enterprise risk management processes.

The Company is committed to transparency and providing information to allow customers, community leaders, investors and other stakeholders to understand how the Company's strategies and operations advance sustainability and long-term stakeholder value creation.

The Company issued its first consolidated sustainability report in September 2020. The report was aligned with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board guidance. The Company has since further developed its sustainability reporting to include disclosures regarding risks and opportunities related to evolving climate dynamics, as well as associated risk management and governance processes, based on recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. It has also outlined key impacts for the Company under two climate scenarios, including a scenario targeted to limit global temperature rise to two degrees Celsius or lower. The Company's most recent reports include HEI's enterprise-

------

wide GHG emissions inventory. Net enterprise-wide GHG emissions in measured categories have decreased over time, driven largely by reductions in the utility's generation-related emissions intensity. The Company's sustainability reports can be found at www.hei.com/sustainability.

In 2025, income (loss) from continuing operations for HEI common stock increased to $123 million compared to $(1,323) million in 2024, due to $1,395 million lower net income in 2024 at the Utilities as a result of recording $1,875 million of provision, net, for wildfire tort-related claims in 2024. In 2024, income (loss) from continuing operations for HEI common stock decreased to $(1,323) million compared to $146 million in 2023, due to $(1,420) million lower net income at the Utilities as a result of recording $1,875 million of provision, net, for wildfire tort-related claims in 2024. See "Electric utility" and "HEI Consolidated—All Other segment" sections below for additional information on year-to-year fluctuations.

The Company's effective tax rate (combined federal and state income tax rates) was 24% (tax expense) in 2025, compared to 26% (tax benefit) in 2024. The Company's effective tax rate was lower than 2024 primarily due to the substantial pre-tax loss in 2024 resulting from the Utilities' accrual of the loss contingencies related to the wildfire tort-related claims and because the impact of permanent items had a smaller impact on the effective tax rate in 2024, partially offset by recapture of investment tax credits and lower research and development tax credit claims in 2025.

Note: All Other segment Maui windstorm and wildfires related expenses (legal, outside services, wildfire securities-related claims and other) and insurance recoveries are included in "Expenses-Other" and interest expense is included in "Interest expense, net" on the HEI and subsidiaries Consolidated Statements of Income. See Electric utility section below for more detail.

From August 8, 2023 through December 31, 2025, HEI and its subsidiaries have incurred approximately $2.3 billion of Maui windstorm and wildfires related expenses, including the Utilities' estimate of the losses related to a settlement of all wildfire tort-related legal claims and cross claims, the *One 'Ohana Initiative* contribution and $47.8 million related to the securities class action settlement. Certain of these costs are reimbursable under excess liability insurance, professional liability insurance, and directors and officers liability insurance 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, including the securities class action settlement, and recognized as a receivable as of year-end.

With the Company accruing its losses related to a settlement of all wildfire tort-related legal claims and cross claims as of December 31, 2025, the Company expects the Electric utility and HEI to use the remaining $10 million of insurance coverage under its excess liability policy primarily for legal expenditures, in excess of amounts deferred, in connection with the Maui windstorm and wildfires.

**Economic conditions.** 

*Note: The statistical data in this section is from public third-party sources that management believes to be reliable (e.g., Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), Honolulu Board of REALTORS® and national and local news media).*

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the average daily passenger count was 2.0% lower than the comparable period in the prior year. The recovery in total passenger counts from the low levels in 2020, which occurred under COVID-19 restrictions, thus far has been driven by domestic travelers, with international travelers, including Japanese travelers, remaining at lower levels. In the fourth quarter, international visitor arrivals (excluding Japan) remained 18.0% below 2019 levels. Due to the weak yen, Japanese visitors are 36.6% below 2019 levels.

Hawaii's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in December 2025 was 2.2%, lower than the December 2024 rate of 3.0%. The national unemployment rate in December 2025 was 4.4%, slightly higher than the December 2024 rate of 4.1%. According to a recent forecast by UHERO, issued on December 12, 2025, jobs in the State will increase by 0.5% in 2025 before decreasing by 0.3% in 2026.

Hawaii real estate activity through December 2025, as indicated by Oahu's home resale market, resulted in a 1.5% decrease in the median sales price for condominiums and an increase of 3.5% for single-family homes compared to the same period in 2024. The median single-family home price was $1,100,000 in December 2025, slightly lower than the all-time high of $1,185,000, set earlier this year in February 2025. The number of closed sales through December 2025 saw a 1.1% decrease for condominiums and a 3.5% increase for single-family residential homes compared to the same period in 2024.

Hawaii's petroleum product prices relate to the crude oil in international markets. The price of crude oil has decreased 14.7% over the same quarter in the prior year.

At its December 10, 2025 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to lower the federal funds rate target range to 3.5% to 3.75%. The FOMC noted that economic growth has moderated, with job gains slowing and unemployment edging up. They further noted that uncertainty around the economic outlook remains elevated, and that they remain attentive to risks on both sides of its dual mandate of achieving maximum employment and 2 percent inflation over the longer run.

UHERO forecasts full year 2026 real GDP and real personal income to be flat, a decrease in total visitor arrivals of 1.3%, and an unemployment rate of 3.0% for the State. According to UHERO, Hawaii's economy is edging into a mild recession, with tourism in a downturn, likely to result in job losses in 2026. Inflation is also expected to increase as the impacts of tariffs

are reflected in consumer prices. Construction continues to be the only major source of economic strength in Hawaii, supported by large federal contracts and ongoing housing and infrastructure needs.

See also "Recent Developments" in the "Electric utility" section below for further discussion of the economic impact of recent events.

**All Other segment.** The "All Other" business segment (loss)/income includes results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI, ASB Hawaii, GLST1, and Pacific Current, including the results of Hamakua Energy and the solar and battery energy storage system facilities up until the close of their respective sales in 2025.

Lower Pacific Current operating loss ($11 million in 2025 vs. $55 million in 2024) primarily due to $35.2 million impairment loss on certain long-lived assets at Pacific Current in the prior year, a $4 million impairment loss on damaged assets in a March 2024 fire at Mahipapa, and Hamakua Energy's and Mahipapa's facilities being shut down for repairs in the prior year resulting in higher expense in the prior year. |

<sup>1</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hamakua Energy's sales to Hawaii Electric Light (a regulated affiliate) up until the close of its sale on March 10, 2025 are eliminated in consolidation.

Note: Totals may not foot due to rounding.

In late February 2024, Hamakua Energy's combustion turbine (CT) and its leased combustion turbine (leased CT) unexpectedly sustained damages resulting in a plant shut down on Hawaii Island. As a result, in April 2024, Hamakua Energy purchased a new CT which was placed into service in June 2024. The leased CT was returned to the lessor and a new leased CT had been delivered and placed into service in September 2024 bringing Hamakua Energy back to full capacity. After conducting an investigation into the root cause of the damages, it was determined that contaminated fuel led to the turbine damages. Pacific Current is currently working with its legal counsel on seeking recovery of its losses related to damages sustained to its plant facilities.

As part of HEI's comprehensive review of strategic options for certain assets of Pacific Current, on February 7, 2025, Pacific Current entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell all the membership interests in Hamakua Holdings, a then wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Current and parent company of Hamakua Energy, to an unaffiliated third party. The sale transaction closed on March 10, 2025. As a result of the sale transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale amounting to $13.2 million as of March 31, 2025. The sale of Hamakua Holdings and its subsidiary, Hamakua Energy, does not preclude Pacific Current from seeking recovery of its losses related to the aforementioned damages to its plant facilities from the fuel supplier.

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 plant was shut down while repairs were being performed. Mahipapa completed repairs to its facility and commenced operations in early December 2024 and returned to full capacity in the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, Mahipapa received insurance proceeds of $1.4 million under its business interruption policy. In addition to working with its insurance company, Mahipapa is

------

currently working with its legal counsel on seeking reimbursement of its losses related to damages sustained to its plant facilities.

In September 2024, Pacific Current recorded a pretax long-lived asset impairment charge of $35.2 million after determining it was more-likely-than-not that the long-lived assets of Pacific Current will be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life and that the fair value of certain long-lived assets of Pacific Current were less than its carrying value. In addition, HEI forgave its intercompany loan receivable from Mahipapa, including accrued interest, amounting to $9.6 million. Concurrently, Mahipapa classified its intercompany loan payable to HEI, including accrued interest, of an equivalent amount as an equity contribution. These transactions were accounted for as equity transactions and offset in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impairment charge and intercompany loan transactions were non-cash in nature and did not affect the Company's current liquidity, cash flows or any debt covenants under the Company's existing credit agreements.

As part of HEI's comprehensive review of strategic options for certain assets of Pacific Current, on August 1, 2025, Pacific Current, through an indirect subsidiary, sold all of the membership interests in Mauo, LLC, Alenuihaha Developments, LLC, Kaʻieʻie Waho Company, LLC and Upena, LLC. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

**Liquidity and capital resources.** HEI's and the Utilities' future results of operations involve significant risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect HEI's and the Utilities' future operating results and could cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, access to capital, ability to attract and retain key personnel, and pending or threatened litigation (including wildfire related litigation noted above).

The Company's objective continues to be to operate a strong, financially healthy enterprise to empower a thriving future for Hawaii. While the fundamentals of its businesses remain strong, the Company took prudent and measured actions to reinforce its commitment to serving the community for the long term. Subsequent to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, in August 2023, HEI and Hawaiian Electric fully drew down $175 million and $200 million, respectively, on their previously existing revolving credit facilities. On September 5, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of eight financial institutions, increasing each of their committed capacities to $300 million (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). As of December 31, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had $20 million and nil, respectively, drawn on their revolving credit facilities and no commercial paper outstanding.

The Company has taken additional prudent measures to strengthen its financial position while continuing to provide reliable service to its customers and reinforcing HEI's commitment to serving the community for the long term, including the Utilities entering into an asset-based credit facility in May 2024 that allows the Utilities to borrow up to $250 million (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), and HEI registering with the SEC in September 2024 an at-the-market offering program under which HEI may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, its common stock, without par value, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million. To date, HEI has not sold any common stock under this program. In addition, HEI paid down a ratable portion of each of HEI's senior notes in April 2025 amounting to $384 million, using the proceeds from the December 2024 sale of ASB. Additional proactive measures included suspending the quarterly cash dividend on HEI's common stock after payment of the second quarter dividend in September 2023, repaying its revolving credit facilities and reducing or eliminating discretionary costs.

As of December 31, 2025, HEI consolidated had $2.4 billion of long-term debt, of which $125 million is due or expected to be repaid within 12 months. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Utilities accrued estimated wildfire liabilities of approximately $1.92 billion (pre-tax), related to the settlement of the Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims (see Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). 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 the Company's and the Utilities' Consolidated Balance Sheets. To finance the first installment payment, in September 2024, HEI completed the sale of 62.2 million shares of common stock. The shares were issued under a registration statement registering up to $575 million of common stock. The net proceeds from the sale of common stock amounted to approximately $557.7 million. In November 2024, HEI transferred the first installment payment to GLST1, a wholly owned subsidiary created for the specific purpose of holding the first installment payment pursuant to the settlement of the Maui windstorm and wildfire tort-related legal claims (see Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). The cash for the first installment payment is classified as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025.

------

At December 31, 2025, the Company's consolidated total available liquidity was approximately $1,572 million. The following table provides the components of available liquidity at December 31, 2025. See "Liquidity and capital resources" in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A below for components of its available liquidity under existing credit facilities as of December 31, 2025.

<sup>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Pursuant to an HEI and Hawaiian Electric Intercompany Borrowing and Investment Policy which provides Hawaiian Electric a borrowing commitment of $75 million. Hawaiian Electric currently has no borrowings under this policy. See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the HEI and Hawaiian Electric Intercompany Borrowing and Investment Policy.

<sup>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities had no commercial paper outstanding. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had no short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric but had long-term intercompany loans from Hawaiian Electric in the amount of $25 million and $90 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

Management believes with the Company's cash and cash equivalents amount of $502 million and GLST1's restricted cash amount of $479 million, both as of December 31, 2025, the available capacity on Hawaiian Electric's ABL Facility, HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's increased borrowing capacities of their unsecured lines of credit, and additional liquidity under HEI's registered at-the-market offering program, the Company has adequate cash to meet its financial obligations and sustain operations in the short term, including available sufficient liquidity to fund the first installment of the settlement of wildfire tort claims (expected to be made no sooner than early 2026) and its other cash obligations for the next 12 months following the issuance of its financial statements.

The Company expects that liquidity will continue to be impacted in the long term primarily due to the remaining liability payments to settle wildfire claims; the result of the August 2023 downgrades of their credit ratings to below investment grade which limits the Company from accessing unsecured, short-term borrowings and continues to restrict access to the capital markets and other sources of debt and equity financing on favorable terms; and higher working capital requirements resulting from inflation and elevated fuel prices. Although the Company has raised sufficient cash to pay the first installment of the settlement of wildfire tort claims, the Company is currently working with its financial advisors on a financing plan to raise the additional capital necessary to fund the remaining settlement of wildfire tort claims. While management believes the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital, there is no assurance that management's plans will be successful. If the financing plans are unsuccessful, the Company may need to consider other strategic alternatives. See further discussion in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A.

If further liquidity is deemed necessary in the short term, Hawaiian Electric could also reduce the pace of capital spending related to non-essential projects, manage O&M expenses, seek borrowings on a secured basis, and explore asset sales.

*<u>HEI Consolidated material cash requirements</u>.* Material cash requirements of HEI Consolidated include: payments related to settlement of tort-related legal claims and cross claims; Utility related capital expenditures (including capital expenditures related to wildfires and wildfire mitigations), labor and benefits costs, O&M expenses, legal and consulting costs related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, fuel and purchase power costs, and debt and interest payments; HEI related labor and benefits costs, debt and interest payments and legal and consulting costs related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires; and HEI equity contributions to support Pacific Current's remaining operating subsidiary.

Forecasted HEI consolidated "net cash used in investing activities" consists primarily of the net capital expenditures of the Utilities principally related to maintaining and modernizing the grid to allow for the integration of more renewable energy,

------

improved customer reliability, greater system efficiency and enhanced resilience. The Utilities' capital expenditures are forecasted to be funded primarily through a combination of retained earnings and proceeds from other sources of debt financings (see also discussion regarding other material cash requirements under "Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources," contained in the "Electric utility" section below). In the future, if the Company is unable to refinance scheduled maturing debt, then debt maturities are expected to be repaid with the proceeds from existing cash on hand, other medium- or long-term debt, and/or dividends from subsidiaries. The ability of Hawaiian Electric to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI are subject to contractual and regulatory restrictions (see Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). Additional debt and/or equity financing, if available, may be utilized to invest in the Utilities; to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings, if any; to pay interest costs; or to fund unanticipated expenditures, such as increases in the costs of, or an acceleration of, the construction of capital projects of the Utilities or unanticipated utility capital expenditures. In addition, existing debt may be refinanced prior to maturity with additional debt or equity financing (or both).

Certain Maui windstorm and wildfires legal-related costs of HEI and the Utilities are recoverable under $165 million of excess liability insurance, $25 million of professional liability insurance, and $145 million of directors and officers liability insurance policies (see further information in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 31, 2025, HEI and the Utilities 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, including the securities class action settlement, and recognized as a receivable as of year-end.

*<u>Selected short-term and long-term contractual obligations and commitments</u>.* Information about payments under the specified contractual obligations and commitments of HEI and its subsidiaries was as follows:

As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the assets held in trusts to satisfy the obligations of the Company's retirement benefit plans exceeded the retirement benefit plans' benefit obligation. Minimum funding requirements for retirement benefit plans have not been included in the table above. See Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2026 estimated retirement benefit plan obligations and contributions.

See "Developments in renewable energy efforts—Biofuel sources" in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A for additional information on fuel oil purchase obligations. See Notes 4 and 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of power purchase commitments and operating leases obligations, respectively.

Operating activities provided net cash of $391 million in 2025, $487 million in 2024 and $551 million in 2023, of which operating activities from continuing operations provided net cash of $391 million in 2025, $428 million in 2024 and $443 million in 2023. Investing activities used net cash of $322 million in 2025 and $257 million in 2023 and provided net cash of $258 million in 2024, of which investing activities from continuing operations used net cash of $322 million in 2025, $334 million in 2024 and $436 million in 2023. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in investing activities from continuing activities was primarily due to capital expenditures.

Financing activities used net cash of $331 million in 2025 and provided net cash of $155 million in 2024 and $196 million in 2023, of which financing activities from continuing operations used net cash of $331 million in 2025 and provided net cash of $498 million in 2024 and $203 million in 2023. In 2025, net cash used in financing activities included repayment of long-term debt, revolving credit facilities and short-term debt and redemption of preferred stock, partly offset by issuance of long-term debt. In 2024, net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations included issuance of common stock (common stock offering) and increase in short-term debt, partly offset by repayment of long-term debt and revolving credit facilities. In 2023, net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations included proceeds from revolving credit facilities, long-term debt and short-term debt, partly offset by repayment of long-term and short-term debt, net decreases in short-term borrowings and payment of common and preferred stock dividends.

Other than capital contributions from their parent company, intercompany services (and related intercompany payables and receivables), Hawaiian Electric's periodic short-term borrowings from HEI (and related interest), if any, and the payment of dividends to HEI, the electric utility is largely autonomous in its operating, investing and financing activities. (See the electric utility segment's discussion of its cash flows in its "Liquidity and capital resources" section below.) During 2025, Hawaiian Electric paid cash dividends to HEI of $30 million.

In August 2023, due to the potential impact from the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the HEI Board of Directors voted to suspend the quarterly cash dividend, starting after the second quarter 2023 dividend and has not declared a cash dividend since that time. This action was intended to allow the Company to provide additional liquidity and allocate cash to rebuilding and restoring power and help ensure a strong future for the Utilities. In May 2025, after a temporary suspension of Hawaiian Electric's quarterly cash dividend to HEI that began with the second quarter 2024 dividend, the Hawaiian Electric Board of Directors approved a $10 million quarterly dividend for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2025. This decision was made after considering several factors, including the continued progress of the Maui windstorm and wildfire settlement, the Utilities' results of operations and the Utilities' liquidity position.

A portion of the net assets of Hawaiian Electric is not available for transfer to HEI in the form of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval. In the absence of an unexpected material adverse change in the financial condition of the Utilities, such restrictions are not expected to significantly affect the operations of HEI or its ability to meet its debt or other cash obligations. See Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The consolidated capital structure of HEI was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **December 31** | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** |

| Common stock equity | 1606 | 40 | 1479 | 34 |
|  | $4016 | 100% | $4362 | 100% |

---

Prior to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, HEI utilized short-term debt, typically commercial paper, to support normal operations, to refinance commercial paper, to retire long-term debt, to pay dividends and for other temporary requirements, including short-term financing needs of its subsidiaries. HEI also periodically makes short-term loans to Hawaiian Electric to meet Hawaiian Electric's cash requirements, including the funding of loans by Hawaiian Electric to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, but no such short-term loans to Hawaiian Electric were outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Historically, HEI also periodically utilized unsecured long-term debt, to fund investments in and loans to its subsidiaries to support their capital improvement or other requirements, to repay long-term and short-term indebtedness and for other corporate purposes. The downgrades of HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings have negatively impacted each of HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's ability to access lower cost sources of capital.

See Notes 6 and 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a brief description of the Company's loans.

------

*Credit ratings.* On May 28, 2025, June 4, 2025 and June 27, 2025, Moody's, Fitch and S&P, respectively, upgraded HEI's credit ratings. As of February 17, 2026, the Fitch, Moody's and S&P ratings of HEI were as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fitch** | **Fitch** | **Moody's** | **Moody's** | **S&P** | **S&P** |

| Short-term issuer default, commercial paper and commercial paper, respectively | B | B | NP | NP | B | B |
| Outlook | Stable | Positive | Stable | Positive | Negative | Watch Positive |

---

<sup>1</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December 31, 2024. In March 2025, S&P revised HEI's outlook to "Positive" from "Negative" and affirmed the "B-" issuer credit rating.

Note: The above ratings reflect only the view, at the time the ratings are issued or affirmed, of the applicable rating agency, from whom an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained. Such ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities; such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies; and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

The Company's credit rating downgrades related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires will continue to adversely impact its ability to access lower cost sources of capital. Through the sale of common stock in September 2024, the Company has raised sufficient cash to pay the first installment of the settlement of wildfire tort claims expected to be made no sooner than early 2026. The Company is currently working with its financial advisors on a financing plan to raise the additional capital required to fund its remaining wildfire tort claims. While management believes the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital, there is no assurance that management's plans will be successful. The potential damages and losses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires and related lawsuits (see further information in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), the suspension of dividends from Hawaiian Electric, the economic impact of higher fuel prices, inflation, higher interest rates, tightening of monetary policy and geopolitical situations, create significant uncertainty, and the Company cannot predict the extent or duration of these conditions, the future effects that these conditions will have on the Company's financing plan, cost of capital and its ability to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of risks and uncertainties. See "Credit ratings" in Hawaiian Electric's MD&A for Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings. The downgrades of HEI's and Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings impacted the Company's ability to access lower cost sources of capital.

On September 25, 2024, HEI completed the sale of 62.2 million shares of common stock. The shares were issued under a registration statement registering up to $575 million of common stock. The net proceeds from the sale of common stock amounted to approximately $557.7 million and will be used to fund the Company's contribution to the expected Maui wildfire tort litigation settlement and for general corporate purposes.

On September 19, 2024, HEI filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for an at-the-market offering program under which HEI may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, its common stock, without par value, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million. To date, HEI has not sold any common stock under this program.

There were no new issuances of common stock through the HEIRSP 401(k) Plan in 2025, 2024 or 2023 and HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the HEIRSP 401(k) Plan through open market purchases of its common stock. There were no new issuances of common stock through the Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP) from January 1, 2023 through September 4, 2023, December 6 through December 31, 2023, in 2025 or in 2024 and HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP through open market purchases of its common stock. From September 5 through December 5, 2023, HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP through new issuances of approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock, amounting to $6.6 million, primarily for participants receiving the September 2023 dividend payment.

**Off-balance sheet arrangements.** Although the Company and the Utilities have certain off-balance sheet arrangements, management has determined that it has no off-balance sheet arrangements that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company's and the Utilities' financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors, including the following types of off-balance sheet arrangements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.obligations under guarantee contracts,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangements that serve as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.obligations under derivative instruments, and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.obligations under a material variable interest held by the Company or the Utilities in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company or the Utilities, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company or the Utilities.

**Material estimates and critical accounting policies.** In preparing financial statements, 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 include the amounts reported for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; contingencies and litigation; income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; and asset retirement obligations (AROs). Management considers an accounting estimate to be material if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made and changes in the assumptions selected could have a material impact on the estimate and on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies," management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company's financial statements—that is, management believes that the policies discussed below are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company's results of operations and financial condition, and currently require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The policies affecting both of the Company's two principal segments are discussed below and the policies affecting just one segment are discussed in the respective segment's section of "Material estimates and critical accounting policies." Management has reviewed the material estimates and critical accounting policies with the HEI Audit & Risk Committee and, as applicable, the Hawaiian Electric Audit & Risk Committee.

For additional discussion of the Company's accounting policies, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and for additional discussion of material estimates and critical accounting policies, see the electric utility discussion below under the same heading.

*<u>Pension and other postretirement benefits obligations</u>.* The Company's benefit obligations and reported costs of providing retirement benefits are dependent upon numerous factors resulting from actual plan experience and assumptions about future experience. For example, retirement benefits costs are impacted by actual employee demographics (including age and compensation levels), the level of contributions to the plans, earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses on plan assets, and changes made to the provisions of the plans. Costs may also be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions, including the expected return on plan assets, the discount rate and mortality. The Company's accounting for retirement benefits under the plans in which the employees of the Utilities participate is also adjusted to account for the impact of decisions by the PUC. Changes in obligations associated with the factors noted above may not be immediately recognized as costs on the income statement, but generally are recognized in future years over the remaining average service period of plan participants.

The discount rate used to calculate the Company's benefit obligations is a significant assumption that affects the Company's benefit obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the discount rates for HEI and the Utilities' pension and other benefits plans were 5.78% and 5.67%, respectively. Based on various assumptions in Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, sensitivities of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) as of December 31, 2025, associated with a change in the discount rate, were as follows and constitute "forward-looking statements":

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Actuarial assumption** | **Change in assumption<br>in basis points** | **Impact on HEI Consolidated<br>PBO or APBO** | **Impact on Consolidated Hawaiian Electric<br>PBO or APBO** |
| **(dollars in millions)** | | | |
| **Pension benefits** | | | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discount rate | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+/-50 | $(119)/$133 | $(116)/$130 |
| **Other benefits** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discount rate | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+/-50 | $(6)/$7 | $(6)/$7 |

---

Also, see Notes 1 and 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*<u>Contingencies and litigation</u>*. The Company is 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. The required reserves may change

------

in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach in dealing with these matters, such as a change in settlement strategy.

In general, environmental contamination treatment costs are charged to expense, unless it is probable that the PUC would allow such costs to be recovered through future rates, in which case such costs would be capitalized as regulatory assets. Also, 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.

As a result of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, HEI and Hawaiian Electric evaluated various financing plans to pay the amounts included in the tort-related Settlement Agreements and determined that paying in four equal annual installments is the most viable option and aligns with the Companies' expectations of how the settlement amount will be paid. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have recorded a settlement accrual of $1.92 billion which reflects their best estimate of the loss contingency. In addition, as a result of executing final settlement agreements in its securities class action and shareholder derivative lawsuits, as of December 31, 2025, HEI recorded a settlement accrual of $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. Refer to "Recent Developments" and Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

See Notes 1, 2 and 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*<u>Income taxes</u>*. 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 assets and liabilities using 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.

In 2024, the Company generated a $287.1 million capital loss from the sale of ASB. For federal tax purposes, any excess capital loss is first carried back three years and then carried forward for up to five years to offset future capital gains. For Hawaii state tax purposes, unused capital losses can only be carried forward for up to five years, with no carryback option available. Since capital losses can only be offset against capital gains, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the capital loss on the sale of ASB will not be realized, because there is no expectation of generating capital gains and no tax strategies in place to produce capital gains before the loss expires. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's federal and Hawaii capital loss carryforward is $273.1 million and $289.4 million, respectively, with a valuation allowance totaling $66.1 million for federal and state, related to the capital loss.

In 2024, the Company agreed to settle the Maui windstorm and wildfires tort-related legal claims on a global basis. This nonrecurring settlement will create a net operating loss (NOL) of approximately $1.878 billion, resulting in a total deferred tax asset (DTA) of $483.7 million. The Company analyzed the positive and negative evidence of each source of taxable income that will allow the DTA to be realized as enumerated in ASC 740. Other than the capital loss carryforward discussed above, the Company expects to fully utilize current DTAs that will be generated over the next 17-year period for HEI consolidated and 13-year period for Hawaiian Electric consolidated, based on estimated income projections (exclusive of future reversals of taxable temporary differences). The Company believes that the DTA generated from the nonrecurring settlement, along with historical DTAs, will be fully utilized, with the exception of the capital loss carryforward. The Company has generated consistent earnings over the past three years exclusive of the nonrecurring settlement. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its gross DTAs, other than the capital loss carryforward, including the $483.7 million DTA recognized as a result of the settlement. If estimated future income projections turn out to be lower, it should be noted that the DTA related to the NOL carryforward does not expire.

Management evaluates its potential exposures from tax positions taken that have or could be challenged by taxing authorities. These potential exposures result because taxing authorities may take positions that differ from those taken by management in the interpretation and application of statutes, regulations and rules. Management considers the possibility of alternative outcomes based upon past experience, previous actions by taxing authorities (e.g., actions taken in other jurisdictions) and advice from its tax advisors. Management believes that the Company's provision for tax contingencies is reasonable. However, the ultimate resolution of tax treatments disputed by governmental authorities may adversely affect the Company's current and deferred income tax amounts.

See Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Following is a discussion of the electric utility segment. Additional segment information is shown in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The discussion concerning Hawaiian Electric should be read in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.*

------

**Electric utility**

**Executive overview and strategy.** The Utilities provide electricity on all the principal islands in the State of Hawaii, other than Kauai, to approximately 95% of the State's population, and operate five separate grids. The Utilities' mission is to empower their communities and customers with safe, reliable, resilient, affordable, and clean energy. The goal is to create a safe, modern, resilient, flexible, and dynamic electric grid that protects Hawaii from impacts of evolving climate dynamics, position the Utilities to achieve the expectations of their customers and communities and earn their trust, and achieve Hawaii's decarbonization goals that are aligned with the statutory goal of 100% renewable portfolio standard and net-negative carbon emissions by 2045.

**Recent developments.** See also "Recent developments" in HEI's MD&A and Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which includes disclosures relating to Maui windstorm and wildfires.

For the full year 2025, the Utilities generated net income of approximately $168.2 million compared to net loss of $1.2 billion in 2024. See "Results of operations" below for variance explanations.

For the full year 2025, kWh sales volume increased 2.5% from 2024 levels. The increase reflects warmer weather as well as the continuing economic recovery since the Maui windstorm and wildfires and increased pumping loads as Maui energy consumption increased 6.6% from 2024 to 2025.

The price of crude oil has decreased about 14.1% compared to the prior year. The Utilities are able to pass through fuel costs to customers and have limited fuel cost exposure through a 2% fuel cost-risk sharing mechanism (approximately $3.7 million maximum penalty/reward exposure annually).

In December 2025, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.7% over the last 12 months. In Hawaii, the January 2026 Urban Hawaii (Honolulu) CPI increased 2.4% over the last 12 months. Under the PBR Framework, inflation risk for the Utilities is partially mitigated by an Annual Revenue Adjustment (ARA), which is based on a formula that includes a compounded and non-compounded portion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The compounded portion of the ARA includes an adjustment for the annual change in inflation based on the estimated change in Gross Domestic Product Price Index (GDPPI) for the upcoming year, less a predetermined annual productivity factor (currently set at zero), less a 0.22% customer dividend, applied to a basis equal to test year target revenues plus the RAM Revenue adjustments in effect prior to the implementation of PBR, plus the prior adjustment year's compounded portion of the ARA. The inflation factor percentage is the consensus projection of annual percentage change in GDPPI for the following calendar year published by Blue Chip Economic Indicators each October. For the 2025 calendar year, the forecasted 2025 GDPPI was 1.98% (net of the 0.22% customer dividend), measured in October 2024, and became effective in rates on January 1, 2025. For the 2026 calendar year, the forecasted 2026 GDPPI was 2.58% (net of the 0.22% customer dividend), measured in October 2025, and became effective in rates on January 1, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The non-compounded portion of the ARA includes a subtractive component, representing the management audit savings commitment, or refund to customers, which was approved by the PUC for the years 2021 through 2025.

Customer accounts receivable decreased in 2025 by $27 million, or 14% with arrears balance 1-30 days decreasing by 18% since December 31, 2024. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily driven by receipt of government arrears. In addition, arrears balances have declined to pre-pandemic levels as the Utilities returned to pre-pandemic collection policies, except on Maui, where the moratorium on disconnections remain in place. Further at year-end, the Utilities pledged $1 million to assist customers with larger arrears balances who may be facing financial hardship, particularly on Maui, and decreased accounts receivable accordingly. See "Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources" below for additional information.

*<u>Regulatory</u> <u>and legislative</u> <u>developments.</u>* 

*Legislation.* On June 6, 2025, Governor Josh Green signed Senate Bill 1501, now known as Act 191, which allows the State to "step-in" for the Utilities in the case of utility financial distress, ensuring project owners receive payment, addressing concerns of some independent power producers' ability to procure low-cost financing for new renewable energy and storage projects due to the Utilities' credit ratings. On July 1, 2025, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 897, now known as Act 258, which directs the PUC to study the viability of a wildfire relief fund, establish an aggregate liability cap on economic damages from future wildfires and authorizes securitization to finance wildfire safety and resilience infrastructure improvements. On July 8, 2025, the Governor signed House Bill 1001, now known as Act 301, which appropriates funds to address the State of Hawaii's settlement of claims related to the Maui wildfire and windstorm tort litigation settlement. Act 258 is expected to help support the Utilities' financial stability to move forward, while Act 301 provides a resolution to those affected by the Maui windstorm and wildfires and provides assurance for a global settlement to move forward. Act 191 supports the Utilities' ability to procure energy in order to provide customers and communities with safe, reliable and affordable clean energy.

------

On July 2, 2025, the Governor signed Senate Bill 589, now known as Act 266. Among other things, Act 266 authorizes wheeling of renewable energy and requires the PUC to establish policies and procedures to implement wheeling of renewable electricity for a capacity of not more than two megawatts, as well as microgrid service tariffs, by January 1, 2027. Act 266 also requires the PUC to establish an installation goal for new customer-sited distributed energy resources and establish tariffs to achieve the installation goal and for grid service programs, microgrids, and community-based renewable energy. The Utilities are currently assessing the potential impact related to wheeling as the PUC works to establish the provisions and terms for the implementation of wheeling in compliance with Act 266. For more information on wheeling, see discussion in "Investigation on the establishment of wheeling" below.

The One Big Beautiful Act signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025 may impact the ability of the Utilities' recently selected and new wind and solar projects to qualify for federal tax credits. Regulations continue to be developed, so the complete scope of potential impacts remains unknown at this time. Any loss in renewable energy tax credits could lead to project risk for new wind and solar projects in development and will likely result in higher prices for such projects, developers of which rely extensively on federal tax credits to finance such projects. It is also possible that the sunsetting of these tax credits will impact the supply chain for projects throughout the U.S. as developers rush to meet the four-year safe harbor timeline. The legislature is expected to consider legislation to provide a state tax credit to fill the void left by the expiration of the federal solar tax credit. However, due to budget shortfalls, the likelihood of its passage is limited.

*Trade policies.* Impacts to the Utilities from trade policies imposed by the U.S. or its trading partners are uncertain at this time. The Utilities estimated that in 2024, more than 90% of the Utilities' capital goods were domestically sourced. However, the Utilities and their independent power producers procure capital goods that flow through global supply chains and may include raw materials, sub-components, or components sourced or assembled outside the U.S. Utility capital costs and the cost of power procured from independent power producers may increase due to new trade policies and changes in trade policy from the U.S. and its trading partners, based on the amount of foreign content of capital goods. It is also possible that trade policies could impact commodities and raw materials costs, leading to inflation of utility capital costs indirectly through the broader supply chain. Utility-scale battery projects planned by both Hawaiian Electric and independent power producers may see significant cost increases or supply chain challenges, as the majority of battery components are currently manufactured in, or have significant supply chain exposure to, the People's Republic of China. The Utilities are still assessing the potential impact of the trade policies.

*Re-basing.* In its order issued on February 27, 2025, the PUC concluded that Utilities' target revenues should be re-based for the next MRP (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 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. Effectively, this alternative process would pick up on previous PBR working group re-basing discussions. This would also mean, however, that the Utilities would not file their rate case application in December 2025. This alternative approach could also address concern that re-basing and consideration of other PBR Framework modifications be done in a more synchronized manner. Upon review and consideration of the record and circumstances, the PUC granted Hawaiian Electric's Letter Request on September 29, 2025, subject to certain conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Utilities continued to meet with the PBR working group to develop an alternative rate re-basing proposal.

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. See "Regulatory proceedings" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions.

------

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 (the examination of proposal for modifications to the PBR Framework) 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.

*Affiliate transactions.* In June 2025, the Utilities submitted a request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the Affiliate Transaction Requirements (ATRs). Beginning in 2024 and continuing into 2026, HEI has embarked on a strategy to divest all of its affiliated companies other than the Utilities, intending for the Utilities to be HEI's sole operating companies. Termination of the ATRs would allow implementation of a corporate integration, under which all HEI employees would move to Hawaiian Electric. A few officer positions would manage and operate both HEI and Hawaiian Electric (dual-hatted executives) and the HEI and Hawaiian Electric boards of directors would be composed of a single set of individuals. In September 2025, the PUC dismissed the request without prejudice. In its order, the PUC provided guidance on the topics to be addressed in any future request. On October 31, 2025 HEI and Hawaiian Electric filed a revised request with the PUC to terminate or suspend the ATRs. After responding to information requests from the Consumer Advocate, the Consumer Advocate issued its statement of position on February 4, 2026. The Consumer Advocate supported the approval of the request with the condition that before any recovery of expenses related to HEI, the Utilities should give the Consumer Advocate and the PUC advance notice of likely changes to recovery. HEI and Hawaiian Electric informed the PUC that the docket was ready for decision making on February 5, 2026.

*System reliability.* Since the August 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires, the Utilities have developed a set of Interim Wildfire Safety Measures to mitigate the risk of wildfires in areas identified as having higher risk of wildfire in all service territories (Oahu, Maui County, and Hawaii Island). These interim measures represent actions the Utilities performed in 2024. On January 10, 2025, the Utilities filed their 2025-2027 Wildfire Safety Strategy (WSS) with the PUC, which outlines their plans to reduce wildfire risk throughout their service territories over the next three years, and was approved by the PUC on December 31, 2025. In the near term, it is anticipated that these measures will result in disruptions to service and negatively impact Transmission and Distribution (T&D) System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI). While the Utilities work to refine these measures over time to mitigate customer impacts, the Utilities are currently focused on taking immediate steps to keep island communities safe during extreme weather events. For a discussion regarding the launch of the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program, see discussion below under "Wildfire Safety Measures."

Hawaii Island has two generators out of service for extended maintenance, one of which is expected to return to service in the second quarter of 2026. While these units are unavailable for maintenance, during certain periods there may be reductions in generation reserve margins and failure of other generators, which could risk generation shortfalls.

For a discussion regarding the impact of the Maui windstorm and wildfires on the Utilities' liquidity and capital resources, see discussion below under "Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources."

**Wildfire Safety Measures.** The Utilities first began developing a Wildfire Safety Strategy in 2019 and continue to adapt the plan to address the elevated risks in Hawaii. Since the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the Utilities developed a set of Interim Wildfire Safety Measures designed to reduce the risk of wildfires associated with utility infrastructure in service territory areas identified as posing a higher wildfire risk. These interim measures represent actions the Utilities had either already started, or were to start in 2024. These actions included wildfire risk analysis, operation procedures, including the implementation of the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program, and grid design changes, enhanced inspection and vegetation management plans, and system hardening. In January 2025, the Utilities developed and filed with the PUC a 2025-2027 WSS, which identifies risk mitigation strategies to perform over the next three years across their service territories. The programs developed under the interim measures have been integrated into the 2025-2026 WSS. The strategies and actions include additional operational changes, grid hardening work, enhanced inspections and vegetation management, and risk modeling to inform and prioritize hardening work and operational actions. On May 30, 2025, the Utilities submitted an application to the PUC for Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) cost recovery estimated at $350 million, net of costs funded through other existing programs. On December 31, 2025, the PUC approved the Utilities' 2025-2027 WSS (also known as Wildfire Mitigation Plan). The PUC also directed the Utilities to provide a 2026-2027 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update, and guidance for the next Wildfire Mitigation Plan covering the 2028-2029 time period.

The PSPS program, initially developed under the Interim Wildfires Safety Measures Program, is now part of the Utilities' operations. The PSPS program calls for the Utilities to preventatively de-energize circuits in areas identified as high fire risk

------

during certain weather conditions. The PSPS program launched on July 1, 2024 and is ready to use, if and when it is needed, to protect customers, communities and employees. Since the July 2024 implementation, the Utilities have continued to mature the PSPS program as it has gained experience executing the program along with public safety partners, communities, and residents. For example, the Utilities now have an in-house meteorologist and additional strategically placed weather stations to enhance its forecasting capability and situational awareness of localized hazardous conditions. The PSPS protocols will evolve over time as more analytical, forecast, and situational awareness capabilities and wildfire mitigations are deployed. De-energizing circuits in high wildfire risk areas will lead to extended interruptions for many customers, even if not in a high wildfire risk area. The Utilities will continue to work with key stakeholders in balancing the risk of utility-related wildfires with the risk to the public arising from not having electricity.

**Transition to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future.** The Utilities are fully committed to leading and enabling pathways to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future for Hawaii. A sustainable energy future is one that focuses on delivering electricity safely, reliably and affordably, strengthening resilience and shifting away from fossil-fueled resources. The Utilities believe that a holistic approach to evolving climate dynamics is needed, working on both climate mitigation efforts along with climate adaptation efforts. Climate mitigation requires achieving the Utilities' decarbonization and renewable energy commitments, facilitating and promoting beneficial electrification, and deploying carbon removal and offsets among other levers to reduce statewide emissions.

*<u>Climate action plan</u>*. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Utilities outlined their Climate Action Plan to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2030, compared to a 2005 baseline. The emissions covered by this goal include stack emissions from generation owned by Hawaiian Electric and IPPs who sell electricity to the Utilities. Since that time, delays and cancellations in the commercial operation of new renewable third-party generation resources and higher costs as a result of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, as well as federal policies have slowed the pace of progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Also, see the "Developments in renewable energy efforts—New renewable PPAs" section below. The One Big Beautiful Act signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025 may impact the ability of recently selected and new wind and solar projects to qualify for federal tax credits. Any loss in renewable energy tax credits could lead to project risk for new wind and solar projects in development and will likely result in higher prices for new renewable projects, which rely on such incentives to provide clean, affordable energy. Further, new tariffs imposed on equipment and materials used in the construction of renewable facilities will have an impact on pricing of new renewable projects. As a result of these challenges and the downgrade of Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings after the Maui windstorm and wildfires, the Utilities expect the planned 70% reduction in carbon emissions to be achieved later than the original 2030 target date. However, the Utilities will continue to replace significant amounts of fossil fuel generation with renewable energy between now and 2030 and expect to meet or exceed the State of Hawaii's 2030 RPS goals. As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities estimate a reduction of carbon emissions of approximately 25%. This represented an increase in emissions compared to the 27% reduction in 2024 due to higher customer electric usage. As renewable energy replaces fossil fuel generation, carbon emissions are expected to continue to decline over time.

Hawaiian Electric has also committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from power generation by 2045 or sooner. While the timing of the Utilities' carbon reduction goals will be impacted by federal policies, key elements of the 2030 plan have already been completed or remain on track to be completed by 2030, including the closure of AES Hawaii, Inc., the State's last coal-fired IPP plant, increasing rooftop solar by more than 50% over 2021 levels, retiring six fossil fuel generating units, increasing grid-scale and customer-owned storage, expanding geothermal resources, and creating customer incentives for using clean, lower-cost energy at certain times of the day and using less fossil-fueled energy at night. The retirement of fossil-fueled generating units is consistent with state policy and supported by Hawaii state law.

*<u>State of Hawaii laws and policies</u>*. In January 2025, the State of Hawaii issued two key policy documents and an alternative fuel study. The PUC issued its 2024 Inclinations on the Future of Energy in Hawaii (2024 PUC Inclinations). The 2024 PUC Inclinations are intended to provide a guide for the completion of energy infrastructure upgrades for public safety, reliability and resiliency. This includes among other items, strategic hardening, diversification and enhancements of transmission and distribution systems, expedited replacement of older fossil fired generation, streamlined interconnection for renewable utility scale and distributed energy resources, including a specific goal to limit fossil fuel generation to no more than 40% on each island by 2030, software and hardware improvement to prevent cybersecurity threats, creation of resilience hubs, and integration of electric, gas, and renewable resources to support continuity of energy, telecommunications, water and wastewater services. The 2024 PUC Inclinations specifically state that "Strategic ownership of new generation (by the Utilities) may be beneficial, especially when such ownership stabilizes utility finances, benefits from low-interest federal loans or advances other objectives such as operational accountability, resilience and public safety."

Governor Josh Green issued Executive Order No. 25-01, Accelerating Hawaii's Transition Toward 100 Percent Renewable Energy (EO 25-01). EO 25-01 sets forth collective actions to accelerate the State's decarbonization, stabilize and reduce energy costs, lower the State's carbon footprint, strengthen energy security, and gain access to capital for the energy transition. Among other actions, EO 25-01 calls for 100% renewable electricity production in the counties of Hawaii and Maui by 2035 and

------

achieving a 70% reduction of Oahu's greenhouse gas emissions reductions from the electricity sector by 2035, using 2005 as a baseline, calls for the maximization of distributed solar energy paired with energy storage, including the installation of 50,000 new distributed energy resources by 2030, accelerating permitting tied to renewable energy, approving interconnection, and addressing energy burdens on low- and moderate-income residents.

The Hawaii State Energy Office's Alternative Fuel, Repowering and Energy Transition Study (Alternative Fuel Study) expresses concern about the speed of the transition to renewable energy and cites to the continued reliance on imported oil as a driver of high bills and intense carbon emissions. The report makes a case for the use of liquefied natural gas on Oahu to replace low sulfur fuel oil during the transition to 100% renewable energy, and names several entities as potential investors that could help speed the transition. On October 6, 2025, the Office of the Governor of the State of Hawaii and JERA Co., Inc., Japan's largest power producer, signed a non-binding Strategic Partnering Agreement that establishes a framework for long-term collaboration to support Hawaii's decarbonization goals and energy transition. The Strategic Partnering Agreement supports the implementation of the Hawaii State Energy Office's Alternative Fuel Study to pursue fuel diversification, including liquified natural gas, to reduce near-term reliance on oil. The Utilities are engaged in planning activities designed to support the State's energy policy objectives, including the transition to a more affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system. These planning efforts evaluate a range of resource, fuel, and technology options and are informed by state energy policy guidance and stakeholder input. Importantly, all three documents recognize that to achieve the State's ambitious goals is a collective effort that will require government agencies, electric utilities, and private stakeholders to work together, acknowledging that each of these groups has an important role to play. The 2024 PUC Inclinations for example state: "Energy utilities, government agencies and private stakeholders must embrace an ethos of collective responsibility to confront and effectively mitigate the vulnerabilities revealed by Lahaina's heartbreaking tragedy, the COVID pandemic, ongoing global unrest, cybersecurity threats and the overarching climate crisis." The PUC later states: "The Commission does not expect energy utilities to accelerate their transformation without regulatory assistance and third-party resources." All three documents also recognize the progress made to date towards the State's renewable energy goals. The Utilities remain committed to working with all stakeholders to support the State's energy policy objectives and reach Hawaii's ambitious renewable energy goals.

Hawaii's renewable portfolio standard law requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. Hawaii law has also established a target of sequestering more atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases than emitted within the State by 2045. The Utilities' strategies and plans are fully aligned in meeting these targets (see also "Integrated Grid Planning" below).

The Utilities have made significant progress on the path to clean energy and have been successful in achieving RPS goals. To date the Utilities have met all of the statutory RPS goals, including exceeding the latest milestone RPS target of 30% for 2020, where it achieved an RPS of 34.5%. In July 2022, former Governor Ige signed Act 240 (H.B.2089), that amended the RPS calculation from renewable energy as a percentage of sales to renewable energy as a percentage of total generation. The amended RPS calculation results in a lower calculated percentage than the amount calculated under the previous methodology. For example, the 2022 RPS achieved under the revised RPS calculation was 31.8% versus 39.1% under the prior method. The change in the definition is effective from July 2022 forward and will require that the Utilities acquire more renewable energy than under the previous RPS calculation to comply with the RPS milestones; however, the Utilities expect to continue to meet the RPS milestones under the amended RPS law. See "Developments in renewable energy efforts" below.

If the Utilities are not successful in meeting the RPS targets as mandated by law, the PUC could assess a penalty of $20 for every megawatt-hour (MWh) that an electric utility is deficient. Based on the level of total generation in 2025, a 1% shortfall in meeting the 2030 RPS requirement of 40% would translate into a penalty of approximately $2.1 million. The PUC has the discretion to reduce the penalty due to events or circumstances that are outside an electric utility's reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be reasonably foreseen and ameliorated. In addition to penalties under the RPS law, failure to meet the mandated RPS targets would be expected to result in a higher proportion of fossil fuel-based generation than if the RPS target had been achieved, which in turn would be expected to subject the Utilities to limited commodity fossil fuel price exposure under a fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism. The fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of $3.7 million. Conversely, the Utilities have incentives under PIMs that provide a financial reward for accelerating the achievement of renewable generation as a percentage of total generation, including customer supplied generation. In 2025, the Utilities achieved a 36.8% RPS accruing a reward of $1.9 million based on $10/MWh in exceedance of 35.0% RPS. In 2026, the Utilities are eligible for a reward of $10/MWh in exceedance of 36.0% RPS.

The Utilities are fully aligned with, and supportive of, state policy to achieve a decarbonized future and have made significant progress in reducing emissions through renewable energy and electrification. This alignment with state policy is reflected in management compensation programs and the Utilities' long-range plans, which include aspirational targets in order to catalyze action and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels throughout their operations at a pace more rapid than dictated by current law. The long-range plans, including aspirational targets, serve as guiding principles in the Utilities'

------

continued transformation, and are updated regularly to adapt to changing technology, costs, and other factors. While there is no financial penalty for failure to achieve the Utilities' long-range aspirational objectives, the Utilities recognize that there are environmental and social costs from the continued use of fossil fuels.

The State of Hawaii's policy is supported by the regulatory framework and includes a number of mechanisms designed to maintain the Utilities' financial stability during the transition toward the State's decarbonized future. Under the sales decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover from customers, target test year revenues, independent of the level of kWh sales, which have generally trended lower over time as privately-owned distributed energy resources have been added to the grid and energy efficiency measures have been put into place. Other regulatory mechanisms under the PBR Framework reduce some of the regulatory lag during the multi-year rate plan, such as the annual revenue adjustment to provide annual changes in utility revenues, including inflationary adjustments, and the EPRM, which allows the Utilities to recover and earn on certain approved eligible projects placed into service. See "Regulatory proceedings" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*<u>Integrated Grid Planning</u>*. Achieving high levels of renewable energy and a carbon free electric system will require modernizing the grid through coordinated energy system planning in partnership with local communities and stakeholders. To accomplish this, the Utilities are implementing an innovative systems approach to energy planning intended to yield the most cost-effective renewable energy and decarbonization pathways that incorporates customer and stakeholder input.

The Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) process utilizes an inclusive and transparent stakeholder engagement model to provide an avenue for interested parties to engage with the Utilities and contribute meaningful input throughout the IGP process. The first cycle of the IGP was accepted by the PUC on March 7, 2024, and is the culmination of more than five years of partnership with stakeholders and community members across the islands. Together, they forecasted future energy needs and identified strategies to meet Hawaii's growing energy demand with 100% renewable resources. The Integrated Grid Plan proposes actionable steps to decarbonize the electric grid on the State of Hawaii's timeline, with a flexible framework that can adapt to future technologies. On January 2, 2026, the PUC opened the Second Cycle of the Integrated Grid Plan to continue to plan for future resources needed on the Utilities' systems.

*<u>Demand response programs</u>*. Pursuant to PUC orders, the Utilities are developing an integrated Demand Response Portfolio Plan that will enhance system operations and reduce costs to customers. The reduction in cost for the customer will take the form of either rates or incentive-based programs that will compensate customers for their participation individually, or by way of engagements with turnkey service providers that contract with the Utilities to aggregate and deliver various grid services on behalf of participating customers and their distributed assets.

In 2021, the PUC approved the Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP), a battery storage incentive program to dispatch electricity between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily from participating residential and commercial customers, which provides approximately 43 MW on Oahu.

Subsequently in 2022, the Utilities were approved to expand the EDRP program on the island of Maui and Oahu, which provides approximately 8 MW and 43 MW on Maui and Oahu, respectively. The PUC approved the cost recovery of the additional incentives for both Oahu and Maui through the Demand Side Management Surcharge.

During the time that EDRP was available, Bring Your Own Device Level 1 was launched on April 1, 2025, to succeed EDRP, which closed on July 1, 2024, on Oahu. The Bring Your Own Device Level 1 later evolved into Bring Your Own Device Plus, which began on May 15, 2025. Enrollment for the Bring Your Own Device Plus program will be available until total enrolled program capacity reaches 50 MW statewide.

*<u>Grid modernization</u>*. The overall goal of the Grid Modernization Strategy (GMS) is to deploy modern grid investments at an appropriate priority, sequence and pace to cost-effectively maximize flexibility, minimize the risk of redundancy and obsolescence, deliver customer benefits and enable greater resiliency, reliability, distributed energy resources and renewable energy integration.

Deployment was planned in two phases. The Utilities completed Phase 1 deployment of 447,000 advanced meters, servicing approximately 95% of the customers in 2024 and are recovering associated costs under the MPIR mechanism. Since GMS Phase 1 Project completion, the Utilities continue to deploy advanced meters as part of normal meter shop operations under the recovery of Annual Revenue Adjustment mechanism.

The Utilities filed their initial application with the PUC on September 30, 2019 for an Advanced Distribution Management System as part of Phase 2 of their GMS implementation. However, as the Utilities were unsuccessful in securing IIJA federal funding in 2024, the Utilities are currently re-scoping GMS Phase 2 and plan to file another updated and supplemented PUC application for updated project costs in the second quarter of 2026.

------

*<u>Community-based renewable energy</u>.* In December 2017, the PUC adopted a community-based renewable energy (CBRE) program framework which allows customers who cannot, or chose not to, take advantage of private rooftop solar to receive the benefits of renewable energy to help offset their monthly electric bills and support clean energy for Hawaii. The program has two phases.

The first phase includes five projects currently in operation (3,270 kW on Oahu, 28.32 kW on Maui, 750 kW on Hawaii and 250 kW on Molokai).

In 2021 and 2022, the Utilities opened their Phase 2, Tranche 1 RFPs and low-to-moderate income RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island, as well as RFPs for Molokai and Lanai. This second phase includes 12.5 MW of dedicated-Low-to-Moderate Income projects, which were expected to become operational in 2026 but have since been delayed.

For Lanai, the Utilities combined the previously issued Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation Paired with Energy Storage RFP and the CBRE RFP to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spur development and increase the likelihood of success of the CBRE Program on Lanai. A project was selected in the Lanai RFP, but negotiations were terminated. On July 1, 2022, a replacement project was selected and negotiations commenced. On October 23, 2024, the developer submitted a withdrawal letter to the Utilities. See "Developments in renewable energy efforts–Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information" for more information. The Utilities are exploring other options for procuring renewable energy on Lanai.

On Molokai, two contracts for solar plus storage facilities with a total capacity of 2.45-MW of photovoltaic (PV) paired with 11.1-MWh of battery energy storage were executed and approved by the PUC on January 8, 2024.

The Utilities CBRE Phase 2 Tariff Rule 29 became effective on March 10, 2022. The Utilities are currently still accepting project applications for small CBRE projects less than 250 kW in size. The PUC reserved 45 MW as well as a small amount of unallocated capacity from Phase 1 for small projects in Phase 2 on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island. The Utilities have developed a CBRE Portal where Subscriber Organizations can apply for small project capacity and manage subscribers for all CBRE projects in the program. Customers can also use the CBRE Portal to solicit subscription quotes, compare, and subscribe to a project once the Subscriber Organization has added their project to the portal.

On October 31, 2025, the Utilities filed to the PUC a proposed framework for an update to the CBRE program that the Utilities have named CBRE Phase 3: Utility-Resourced Model. In the proposed framework, the Utilities address challenges with previous phases of the CBRE program with a utility-resourced model and putting a special emphasis on Low-to-Moderate Income customer participation. As of December 31, 2025, there has been no PUC decision on the Utilities' proposed framework.

*<u>Microgrid services tariff proceeding</u>.* In enacting Act 200 of 2018, the Hawaii legislature found that Hawaii's residents and businesses were vulnerable to disruptions in the islands' energy systems caused by extreme weather events or other disasters and stated its belief that the use of microgrids would build energy resiliency into Hawaii's communities, thereby increasing public safety and security. The purpose of Act 200 was therefore to encourage and facilitate the development and use of microgrids through the establishment of a standard microgrid services tariff. In July 2018, pursuant to Act 200, the PUC opened a proceeding to investigate the establishment of a microgrid services tariff. For Phase 1, the PUC approved the Microgrid Service Tariff developed by the Utilities, which created a regulatory pathway to microgrid development in Hawaii.

For Phase 2, the PUC established its Prioritized Issues for Resolution of the Microgrid proceeding, which includes the following: 1) Microgrid Compensation and Grid Services; 2) Utility Compensation; 3) Customer Protection and Related Considerations; 4) Interconnection; and 5) working group coordination with related microgrid and resilience Initiatives at Hawaiian Electric and government agencies.

Additionally, the PUC provided further guidance to the working group to prioritize discussion of the microgrid types in the following order: 1) Hybrid Microgrid - Third Party Developer using Utility lines/infrastructure; 2) Hybrid Microgrid - Utility Project with Partners; and 3) Customer Microgrid. Additionally, the PUC instructed the working group to discuss microgrid compensation and continue the involvement of microgrid developers in working group meetings.

On June 12, 2025, the PUC issued an order closing the docket as the PUC believes that the primary objectives of Act 200 have been accomplished. However, the PUC also believes that further modifications to the Microgrid Services Tariff should be explored, such exploration should be within the context of the State's current resilience needs. To further these objectives, the PUC intends to establish an informal working group. On July 2, 2025, Governor Josh Green signed Senate Bill 589, now known as Act 266, which, among other things, authorizes wheeling of renewable energy (100 kW - 2 MW) and requires the PUC to establish policies related to distributed energy resources, retail wheeling, and microgrid service tariffs.

*<u>Investigation on the establishment of wheeling.</u>* On July 1, 2024, the PUC issued an order to institute a proceeding to investigate the establishment of electricity wheeling policies and procedures for the electric utilities for the State of Hawaii. The

------

PUC stated that it intended to address matters using lessons learned in the initial three docket phases to explore implementation of an intragovernmental wheeling policy and an evaluation of retail wheeling in subsequent phases, as appropriate.

On May 15, 2025, the PUC issued an order, suspending the procedural schedule for the docket in consideration of Senate Bill 589, and set a status conference for June 24, 2025. By suspending the procedural schedule and convening a status conference, the PUC sought to facilitate a comprehensive review of Senate Bill 589 and its implications for electricity wheeling in Hawaii. Due to ongoing uncertainties, the PUC subsequently cancelled the status conference on June 19, 2025. For more information on Act 266, see discussion in "Regulatory and legislative developments" above.

On August 29, 2025, the PUC issued an order reopening the docket and divided the proceeding into two tracks, Track A, focused on retail wheeling, and Track B, focused on an intragovernmental credit share program that was the subject of the prior procedural schedule in the docket. Among other matters, a new intervention period for interested parties to be admitted as a party to the docket and a new procedural schedule was established. Hawaiian Electric is required to develop a "straw proposal" under Track A, on or before November 10, 2025, for comment by the State of Hawaii Office of Consumer Advocacy, and any other stakeholders, on or before January 20, 2026. On October 16, 2025, the PUC issued an order, addressing the various motions for Participation and Intervention in the docket.

On October 22, 2025, the Utilities filed feedback on the PUC's proposed Track B, Intragovernmental Shared Credit Program. The Utilities support the program but emphasize that careful program design is necessary to ensure technical feasibility, administrative efficiency, and fairness for all customers. The Utilities agree that the program could support the development of Renewable Energy Zones by unlocking government lands for renewable projects and enabling proactive transmission planning.

On November 10, 2025, the Utilities filed its Track A Retail Wheeling Straw Proposal. The Utilities note that it is providing a high-level proposal to help identify areas for further detailed discussion as Track A of the docket proceeds and reserves the right to amend the proposal or positions contained herein as discussions continue. The Utilities' Straw Proposal provides an overview for the application process, a discussion of technical standards for grid interconnection and monitoring, provisions for metering and monitoring and a discussion of pricing mechanisms in the tariff structure and how to appropriately allocate wheeling costs. The Consumer Advocate and stakeholders provided comments on the Utilities' Straw Proposal by January 20, 2026. The Utilities are to file responses to the comments of the Consumer Advocate and stakeholders on March 6, 2026.

**Regulatory proceedings.** On December 23, 2020, the PBR D&O was issued, establishing the PBR Framework. The PBR Framework implemented a five-year multi-year rate period (MRP), during which there will be no general rate case applications. The Utilities are currently exploring a collaborative non-rate case re-basing proposal under the PBR Framework as an alternative to a rate case process. See "Regulatory proceedings" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of re-basing, PBR Framework and decoupling.

*<u>Regulated returns.</u>* As part of the PBR Framework's annual review cycle, the Utilities track their rate-making ROACEs as calculated under the earnings sharing mechanism, which includes only items considered in establishing rates. At year-end, each utility's rate-making ROACE is compared against its ROACE allowed by the PUC to determine whether earnings sharing has been triggered. The D&O in the PBR proceeding modified the earnings sharing mechanism to a symmetric arrangement. Effective with annual earnings for 2021, the earnings sharing will be triggered for achieved rate-making ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead band above and below the current authorized rate-making ROACE of 9.5% for each of the Utilities (i.e., above 12.5% or below 6.5%). Earnings sharing credits or recoveries will be included in the biannual report (formally known as annual decoupling filing) to be filed with the PUC in the spring of the following year.

On August 31, 2023, the PUC issued an order temporarily suspending the Earnings Sharing Mechanism (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. In accordance with the order, the ESM remains suspended and the earnings sharing adjustment for 2025 is zero as of December 31, 2025.

Actual and PUC-allowed returns, as of December 31, 2025, were as follows:

---

\*\*\* Based on recorded net income adjusted to remove items not included in determining electric rates, divided by rate making equity.

Rate-making calculations remove the impacts of the Settlement Agreements and eliminate the balances for the asset-based lending facility (ABL Facility) on a stand-alone company basis. The Utilities have stated that customers will not be impacted by payments related to the Settlement Agreements for the Maui windstorm and wildfires, which are expected to be $1.9 billion (see Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). The ABL Facility contains certain intercompany costs related to the ABL Facility that are eliminated on a consolidated basis, and these transactions are eliminated on a stand-alone company basis for rate-making. Therefore, the rate-making returns were adjusted to exclude these impacts.

The gap between PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs achieved is generally due to the exclusion of certain expenses from rates (for example, incentive compensation and charitable contributions), and depreciation, other operation and maintenance (O&M) expense and return on rate base that are in excess of what is currently being recovered through rates (the last rate case plus authorized RAM adjustments and ARA revenues). In 2025, Maui Electric's returns are lower than allowed levels due to higher sustained maintenance and investments than what is recovered in current rates.

Hawaiian Electric's effective tax rate (combined federal and state income tax rates) in 2025 was 22% (tax expense) compared to 26% (tax benefit) in 2024. The effective tax rate in 2025 was lower than 2024 primarily due to the substantial pre-

------

tax loss in 2024 resulting from the accrual of the loss contingencies related to the wildfire tort-related claims and because the impact of permanent items had a smaller impact on the effective tax rate in 2024, partially offset by lower research and development tax credit claims in 2025.

For a discussion of 2023 results, please refer to the "Results of operations" section in Item 7, "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Electric utility," in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.

For more information of the Utilities' incremental expenses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires for the year ended December 31, 2025, see "Results of operations—Maui windstorm and wildfires related expenses, net" in HEI's MD&A.

The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of December 31, 2025 amounted to $5.8 billion, of which approximately 18% related to generation PPE, 66% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 16% related to other PPE. Approximately 5% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission by 2046.

**Developments in renewable energy efforts.** The Utilities continue to procure renewable energy ambitiously. The Utilities' renewable energy goals depend, in large part, on the success of renewable projects developed and operated by independent power producers. Significant project delays or failures of these projects increase the risk of the Utilities not meeting the renewable portfolio standards or other climate-related goals, eligibility for performance incentive mechanisms associated with the speed of increasing renewable generation, and the ability to retire fossil fuel units. Developments in the Utilities' efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:

*<u>New renewable PPAs</u>.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under a request for proposal process governed by the PUC and monitored by independent observers, the Utilities issued Stage 2 Renewable RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island and Grid Services RFP on August 22, 2019. Of the 11 PPAs filed by the Utilities, six PPAs were declared null and void by the independent power producers and one PPA was mutually terminated. The four remaining projects have received PUC approval. The Utilities filed three requests with the PUC for approval of amendments related to previously-approved PPAs for changes in pricing and/or guaranteed commercial operations dates to support completion of the projects while maintaining system reliability. The PUC approved all three amendments. To date, two Stage 2 projects have reached commercial operations. See also "Purchase commitments" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Separately, the PUC approved the Utilities' Waena Battery Energy Storage System project under Stage 2. See "Utility projects" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A summary of the remaining four approved Stage 2 PPAs and the self-build project is as follows:

\* Project delays have resulted in Guaranteed Commercial Operations Date being missed.

The total projected annual payment of $55.4 million for these PPAs will be recovered through the PPAC to the extent such costs are not included in base rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additionally, two Grid Services Purchase Agreements were filed with the PUC. The two Grid Services Purchase Agreements were approved by the PUC in December 2020. One of the aggregators has had financial difficulties and therefore, Hawaiian Electric terminated the Grid Services Purchase Agreement contract on January 29, 2025. On February 7, 2025, Hawaiian Electric requested for approval for an interim solution for the roughly 1,200 stranded customers to the PUC. Hawaiian Electric will proceed with implementing the alternative solution, pending PUC approval.

*<u>Tariffed renewable resources</u>.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 719 MW, 155 MW and 159 MW of installed distributed renewable solar energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, for tariff-based private customer generation programs, namely Standard Interconnection Agreement, Net Energy Metering, Net Energy Metering Plus, Customer Grid Supply, Customer Self Supply, Customer Grid Supply Plus, Interim Smart Export, Smart Distributed Energy Resources — Export, Smart Distributed Energy Resources — Non-Export, Battery Bonus, Community-Based Renewable Energy, and Bring Your Own Device. As of December 31, 2025, an estimated 45% of single-family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui have installed private rooftop solar systems, and approximately 25% of the Utilities' total customers have solar systems.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Utilities' feed-in tariff program is designed to encourage the addition of more renewable energy projects in Hawaii. As of December 31, 2025, there were 44 MW, 2 MW and 6 MW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.

*<u>Biofuel sources</u>.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On August 23, 2024, the Utilities issued an RFP for biodiesel fuel supply commencing February 1, 2026. Proposals were due on September 30, 2024, and the Utilities have completed negotiations with two suppliers and submitted an application to the PUC on April 3, 2025. On June 2, 2025, the Utilities and Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC (PBT) signed an agreement for supply of biodiesel commencing February 1, 2026, which was approved by the PUC on January 14, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued an RFP for all fuels, including biodiesel, for supply commencing January 1, 2023. On December 13, 2021, the Utilities and PBT signed an agreement for supply of biodiesel on all islands commencing January 1, 2023, which was approved by the PUC on December 1, 2022. Hawaiian Electric also has a spot buy contract with PBT to purchase additional quantities of biodiesel at or below the price of diesel. Some purchases of "at parity" biodiesel have been made under the spot purchase contract, which was extended through June 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hawaiian Electric has a contingency supply contract with REG Marketing & Logistics Group, LLC to also supply biodiesel to any generating unit on Oahu in the event PBT is not able to supply necessary quantities. This contingency contract has been extended to November 2026 and will continue with no volume purchase requirements.

*<u>Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information</u>.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hawaii Island Stage 3 RFP, seeking 325 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year of energy and 65 MW of renewable firm capacity, was issued on November 21, 2022. Proposals were received on April 20, 2023. The Stage 3 RFPs for Oahu and Maui opened for bids on January 20, 2023. For Oahu, the Utilities sought 500 to 700 MW of renewable firm capacity, and at least 965 GWh of renewable dispatchable energy annually. For Maui, the Utilities sought at least 40 MW of renewable firm capacity, and at least 425 GWh of renewable dispatchable energy annually. Proposals for the firm generation portion of the Maui Stage 3 RFP were received on August 17, 2023, and Priority List selections were announced on October 9, 2023. 15 proposals, which included one utility self-build project and one proposal that requires two contracts, were selected to the Final Award Group on December 8, 2023. On February 2, 2024, one additional project totaling 40 MW of firm renewable generation was selected. Of the 16 projects, one solar-plus storage and one firm renewable generation project on Oahu, one solar-plus storage project on Maui, and two solar-plus storage projects on Hawaii Island have been withdrawn by the developers. Contracts for three paired PV with storage projects have been executed and filed with the PUC for approval. On April 21, 2025, the PUC dismissed the three applications without prejudice and directed that new applications be filed upon completion of the respective

------

Interconnection Requirement Study. A contract for a firm generation project on Maui was executed on September 22, 2025 and filed with the PUC for approval on September 26, 2025. On November 12, 2025, the PUC suspended the firm generation project's docket to address the applicability of Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 343 (Hawaii Environmental Policy Act) to the project. In addition, two solar-plus storage projects on Oahu were executed on November 24, 2025 and December 18, 2025, and filed with the PUC for approval on November 26, 2025 and December 23, 2025, respectively. One solar-plus project on Maui was executed on December 22, 2025, and filed with the PUC for approval on December 23, 2025. Negotiations for the remaining projects are ongoing.

On March 28, 2025, the Utilities filed an application to the PUC for their self-build project - Waiau Repower Project. The project was estimated at $847 million and involves replacing six existing turbines with six fuel-flexible combustion turbines that provide 253 MW of renewable firm generation, expected to be placed in service in 2033. The Utilities request, among other things, approvals of 1) the commitment of funds for such project, and 2) recovery of project costs through the EPRM. On October 17, 2025, the Utilities filed an updated application reflecting revised costs of $1.16 billion, citing unavoidable and changed market conditions outside the Utilities' control. The Utilities are requesting a decision from the PUC by March 13, 2026.

A summary of the Stage 3 PPAs and self-build project is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On August 19, 2024, the PUC opened a docket for the Utilities' Integrated Grid Planning RFP (IGP RFP). On August 26, 2024, the Utilities filed their draft IGP RFP for Oahu and Hawaii Island. The Oahu portion of the IGP RFP seeks 750 GWh per year of energy and 350 MW of grid forming resources by November 1, 2030, and 81 MW of renewable firm capacity by December 2033. The Hawaii Island portion of the IGP RFP seeks 435 GWh per year of energy and 115 MW of grid forming resources by November 1, 2030, and 30 MW of renewable firm capacity by December 2032. On January 9, 2025, the PUC issued a decision and order (D&O) converting the docket into a contested case proceeding and opened a period for interested parties to move to intervene or participate. An updated draft IGP RFP with supporting documentation was filed on April 3, 2025. The Utilities' Reply Statement of Position and an updated draft IGP RFP with supporting documentation was filed on May 2, 2025. Multiple supplemental filings were made in June 2025. On July 7, 2025, the PUC issued a D&O extending the procedural schedule to August 18, 2025, to allow parties to the docket to ask information requests and submit Statements of Position. On August 14, 2025, the PUC issued a D&O extending the deadline for the Utilities to file a Reply Supplemental Statement of Position from August 18, 2025 to August 25, 2025. On August 18, 2025, the Utilities filed a request with the PUC for approval to not offer utility-owned sites to other potential bidders. On August 25, 2025, the Utilities filed its Reply Supplemental Statement of Position, completing the steps in the procedural schedule. On September 2, 2025, the PUC issued a D&O modifying the procedural schedule to September 9, 2025 to receive responses by any of the parties to the Utilities' request filed on August 18, 2025. On September 9, 2025, the Consumer Advocate filed a response indicating it did not object to the Utilities' request and a party to the docket filed a response requesting that the PUC consider the broader market impacts that limiting available sites would have on the available interconnection capacity and market competitiveness. On December 12, 2025, the Utilities filed its response to an additional PUC information request.

**Legislation and regulation.** Congress and the Hawaii legislature periodically consider legislation that could have positive or negative effects on the Utilities and their customers. Also see "Environmental regulation" in "Item 1. Business" and Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*<u>Federal grant</u>*. The Utilities continue to pursue government grants or assistance to help the Utilities create a safe, modern, resilient, flexible and dynamic electric grid in Hawaii. On August 7, 2024, the Utilities received a notification from the U.S. Department of Energy that their Climate Adaption Transmission and Distribution Resilience Program (Resilience Program) application for $95 million in federal funds was officially awarded. See "Utility projects" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions. There is no assurance that the federal government will reimburse in a timely manner or may dispute reimbursement.

------

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.

**Fuel contracts.** On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued two RFPs for all fuels for supply commencing January 1, 2023. On February 1, 2022, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR Hawaii) entered into a fuel supply contract (Supply Agreement) commencing January 1, 2023. On December 1, 2022, the PUC issued a D&O approving the PAR Hawaii fuels contract and recovery of associated costs through ECRC. On August 14, 2024, the Utilities entered into a second amendment of the Supply Agreement. The second amendment extends the term of the Supply Agreement by additional three years and creates savings in fuel costs. The second amendment became effective on June 18, 2025, upon the issuance of the final D&O by the PUC.

On March 3, 2022, as part of economic sanctions amid the Russia-Ukraine war, PAR Hawaii announced that it was suspending all purchases of Russian crude oil, which accounts for at least 25% of Hawaii's supply. The Utilities are taking additional measures to ensure adequate supply of fuel by entering into a backup fuel supply contract with Vitol Inc. (Vitol) commencing on December 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, with annual extensions if mutually agreed by both parties. The fuel supply contract was extended to June 30, 2026. The PUC issued the final D&O approving the Vitol backup fuels supply contract on December 1, 2022, and the costs incurred under the contract with Vitol are recovered in the Utilities' respective ECRCs.

**Liquidity and capital resources.** As discussed in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 the Utilities' Consolidated Balance Sheets. To finance the first installment payment, in September 2024, HEI completed the sale of 62.2 million shares of common stock in a registered offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $557.7 million. In addition, 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. HEI expects to make this initial payment no sooner than early 2026. In addition, HEI filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for an at-the-market offering program under which HEI may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, its common stock, without par value, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million. To date, HEI has not sold any common stock under this program.

Management believes that HEI's current cash and cash equivalents balances of $501.8 million as of December 31, 2025, which includes $486.2 million at Utilities, the available capacity on Hawaiian Electric's ABL Facility (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), and the additional liquidity from HEI's at-the-market offering program provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations and satisfy their other obligations for the next 12 months following the issuances of their financial statements.

HEI's and the Utilities' future results of operations involve significant risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect HEI's and the Utilities' future operating results and could cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, access to capital, ability to attract and retain key personnel, and pending or threatened litigation.

Hawaiian Electric's objective continues to be to operate a strong, financially healthy enterprise to empower a thriving future for Hawaii. While the fundamentals of their business remain strong, the Utilities took prudent and measured actions to strengthen their financial position while continuing to provide reliable service to their customers and reinforcing their commitment to serving the community for the long term. In August 2023, Hawaiian Electric fully drew down $200 million on its existing revolving credit facilities. The cash proceeds were primarily invested in highly liquid short-term investments and used for general corporate purposes. The Utilities have repaid the entire draw down from August 2023 as of December 31, 2025. On September 5, 2025, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of eight financial institutions, increasing each of their committed capacities to $300 million (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). Longer term, the Utilities entered into an asset-based credit facility that allows borrowing up to $250 million (see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements) and are also evaluating other sources of liquidity that could include securitization, re-prioritizing capital spending and reducing O&M, issuing unsecured debt, and conducting asset sales, among others.

As of December 31, 2025, Hawaiian Electric had no commercial paper outstanding. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had no short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric but had long-term intercompany loans from Hawaiian Electric in the amount of $25 million and $90 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

See Notes 6 and 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a brief description of Hawaiian Electric's loans.

Hawaiian Electric's consolidated capital structure was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **December 31** | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** |
| **(dollars in millions)** |  |  |  |  |
| Short-term borrowings, net | $— | —% | $49 | 1% |
| Long-term debt, net | 2183 | 58 | 1901 | 61 |
| Preferred stock |  |  | 34 | 1 |
| Common stock equity | 1583 | 42 | 1157 | 37 |
|  | $3766 | 100% | $3141 | 100% |

---

As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities are in compliance with all applicable financial covenants and expect to continue to be in compliance with all the financial covenants in the next 12 months. However, the Utilities cannot predict the future effects on the Utilities' ability to access additional capital or the future impacts on the Utilities' financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Utilities' liquidity has improved, but continues to be impacted from the downgrades of their credit ratings, which result in higher credit spreads compared to investment grade credit spreads. Progress made in finalizing the litigation settlement and legislation that was passed allowing securitization of rates improved access to capital markets. On September 18, 2025, Hawaiian Electric issued $500 million in unsecured senior notes with an interest rate of 6.00% (2025 Notes). A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the outstanding balance of the Utilities' revolving and term loan facilities and the remaining proceeds are intended to be used to 1) finance capital expenditures, 2) repay long-term debt and short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and 3) reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures.

The rebuilding of Lahaina will be a community-led effort and will occur over an extended period of time. The cost of rebuilding the electric utility infrastructure is not yet known, but could be significant because the infrastructure that may be required is expected to be different than what previously existed. For example, to mitigate wildfire risk, grid hardening strategies, such as undergrounding of lines in high-risk locations will be significantly more expensive than using overhead lines and will thus result in increased costs.

Prior to the Maui windstorm and wildfires, Hawaiian Electric utilized short-term debt, typically commercial paper, to support normal operations, to refinance short-term debt and for other temporary requirements. Hawaiian Electric may also borrow short-term from HEI for itself and on behalf of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, and Hawaiian Electric may borrow from or loan to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric on a short-term basis. The intercompany borrowings among the Utilities, but not the borrowings from HEI, are eliminated in the consolidation of Hawaiian Electric's financial statements. The Utilities also historically utilized long-term debt, borrowings of the proceeds of special purpose revenue bonds issued by the State of Hawaii Department of Budget and Finance and the issuance of privately placed unsecured senior notes bearing taxable interest, to finance the Utilities' capital improvement projects, or to repay short-term borrowings used to finance such projects. The downgrades of Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings will continue to adversely impact the Utilities' ability to access lower cost sources of capital.

------

*<u>Credit ratings</u>.* On May 28, 2025, June 4, 2025 and June 27, 2025, Moody's, Fitch and S&P, respectively, upgraded the credit ratings of Hawaiian Electric. As of February 17, 2026, the Fitch, Moody's and S&P ratings of Hawaiian Electric were as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fitch** | **Fitch** | **Moody's** | **Moody's** | **S&P** | **S&P** |

<sup>1</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December 31, 2024. In March 2025, S&P revised Hawaiian Electric's outlook to "Positive" from "Negative" and affirmed the "B-" issuer credit rating

<sup>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Rating withdrawn due to preferred stock redemption in the fourth quarter of 2025.

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not rated.

NP - Not Prime

WR - Withdrawn rating

Note: The above ratings reflect only the view, at the time the ratings are issued or affirmed, of the applicable rating agency, from whom an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained. Such ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities; such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies; and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

See "Credit and Capital Market Risk" in Item 1A. Risk Factors. The downgrades of Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings will continue to adversely impact the Utilities' ability to access lower cost sources of capital. In addition, the downgrades of Hawaiian Electric's credit ratings triggered certain cash or payment requirements with the Utilities' vendors. However, the Utilities believe additional vendor collateral or payment requirements will not have a material impact on the Utilities' liquidity.

*<u>Asset-based lending facility credit agreement</u>*. 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.

*<u>Credit agreement</u>.* On August 23, 2023, Hawaiian Electric fully drew down $200 million on its existing revolving credit facilities. The cash proceeds were invested in highly liquid short-term investments and will be used for general corporate purposes. The Utilities have repaid the entire draw down from August 2023 as of December 31, 2025, by making payments of $34 million in 2024 and $45 million, $78 million, and $43 million in the first, second, and third quarters of 2025, respectively. On September 24, 2025, Hawaiian Electric requested PUC approval of its fourth amended and restated revolving unsecured syndicated credit facility agreement, including approving extending its term to September 5, 2030 from September 4, 2026. See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

*<u>Taxable debt</u>*. On July 24, 2025, the Utilities received PUC approval to issue during the three-year period 2025 through 2027, unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest (Hawaiian Electric up to $900 million, Hawaii Electric Light up to $115 million and Maui Electric up to $150 million), to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures. Pursuant to the approval, on September 18, 2025, Hawaiian Electric issued $500 million in unsecured senior notes with an interest rate of 6.00%. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the outstanding balance of the Utilities' revolving and term loan facilities and the remaining proceeds are intended to be used to 1) finance capital expenditures, 2) repay long-term debt and short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and 3) reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures. The 2025 Notes will mature on October 1, 2033.

------

On November 3, 2025, Hawaiian Electric made long-term intercompany loans to Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric in the amount of $25 million and $90 million, respectively. The interest rate and term of the loans are the same as Hawaiian Electric's 2025 Notes. The long-term intercompany loans are eliminated in the total consolidated Hawaiian Electric amounts. See summary table below for remaining authorized amounts as of December 31, 2025 for each respective utility.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | **Hawaiian Electric** | **Hawaii Electric Light** | **Maui Electric** |
| Total "up to" amounts of taxable debt authorized from 2025 through 2027 | $900 | $115 | $150 |
| Less: taxable debt executed on September 18, 2025/ long-term intercompany loans | 500 | 25 | 90 |
| Remaining authorized amounts | $400 | $90 | $60 |

---

As of December 31, 2025, the Utilities have $2.2 billion of long-term debt, of which $125 million is due or expected to be repaid within 12 months.

*<u>Equity</u>*. On October 28, 2025, the Utilities received PUC approval to issue and sell each utility's common stock over a three-year period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027 (Hawaiian Electric sale/s to HEI of up to $210 million, Hawaii Electric Light sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $70 million, and Maui Electric sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $145 million) and the purchase of Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric common stock by Hawaiian Electric. As of December 31, 2025, no common stock has been issued under this authorization.

*<u>Cash flows</u>.* The following table reflects the changes in cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Years ended December 31** | **Years ended December 31** | **Years ended December 31** |
|<br>**(in thousands)** | **2025** | **2024** | **Change** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $437086 | $465733 | $(28647) |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (333431) | (317631) | (15800) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 198417 | (72031) | 270448 |

---

*Net cash provided by operating activities:* The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by higher cash paid for fuel oil stock due to higher volume purchased, and higher cash paid for accounts payable due to timing, partially offset by lower income taxes paid.

*Net cash used in investing activities*: The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in capital expenditures related to construction activities.

*Net cash provided by financing activiti*es: The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was largely driven by higher proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, primarily offset by the repayment of long- and short-term debt and the redemption of preferred stock.

For a discussion of 2023 operating, investing and financing activities, please refer to the "Liquidity and capital resources" section in Item 7, "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Electric utility," in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.

*<u>Material cash requirements</u>.* Material cash requirements of the Utilities include payments related to settlement of tort-related legal claims and cross claims, legal and consulting costs related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires (see further information in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), O&M expenses, labor and benefits costs, fuel and purchase power costs, debt and interest payments, operating and finance lease obligations, their forecasted capital expenditures (including capital expenditures related to wildfires and wildfire mitigations) and investments, their expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other short-term and long-term material cash requirements. The cash requirements for O&M, fuel and purchase power costs, debt and interest payments, and operating and finance lease obligations are generally funded through the collection of the Utilities' revenue requirement established in the last rate case and other mechanisms established under the regulatory framework. The cash requirements for capital expenditures are generally funded through operating cash flows, the issuance of debt, and contributions of equity from HEI and generally recovered through the Utilities' revenue requirement or other capital recovery mechanisms over time.

The Utilities' credit rating downgrades related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires will continue to adversely impact their ability to access lower cost sources of capital. Through the sale of common stock in September 2024, HEI has raised sufficient cash to pay the first installment of the settlement of wildfire tort claims expected to be made no sooner than early 2026. HEI is currently working with its financial advisors on a financing plan to raise the additional capital required to fund the remaining wildfire tort claims. While management believes that HEI will be able to raise the necessary capital, there is no assurance that

------

management's plans will be successful. The potential damages and losses related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires and related lawsuits (see further information in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), the economic impact of higher fuel prices, inflation, higher interest rates, tightening of monetary policy, and geopolitical situations, create significant uncertainty, and the Utilities cannot predict the extent or duration of these conditions, the future effects that these conditions will have on the Utilities' financing plan, cost of capital and their ability to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Utilities' financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

*<u>Selected short-term and long-term contractual obligations and commitments</u>.* See "Selected short-term and long-term contractual obligations and commitments" in HEI's MD&A for more information on the Utilities' contractual obligations and commitments.

**Competition.** Although competition in the generation sector in Hawaii is moderated by the scarcity of generation sites, various permitting processes and lack of interconnections to other electric utilities, the PUC has promoted a more competitive electric industry environment through its decisions concerning competitive bidding and distributed generation. An increasing amount of generation is provided by IPPs and customer distributed generation.

*<u>Competitive bidding</u>.* On June 30, 2022, the PUC issued a decision that included a final Integrated Grid Planning Framework for Competitive Bidding that succeeded the original Framework for Competitive Bidding adopted on December 8, 2006. The final Integrated Grid Planning Framework for Competitive Bidding states, among other things, that: (1) a utility is required to use competitive bidding to acquire system resources unless the PUC finds bidding to be unsuitable; (2) the framework does not apply in certain situations identified in the framework; (3) waivers from competitive bidding for certain circumstances will be considered; (4) as ordered by the PUC, the PUC or the electric utility shall identify qualified candidates for an independent observer and select an independent observer from the final list of identified qualified candidates; (5) the utility may consider its own self-bid proposals in response to system resource needs identified in its RFP; and (6) for any resource to which competitive bidding does not apply (due to waiver or exemption), the utility retains its traditional obligation to offer to purchase capacity and energy from a Qualifying Facility (QF) at avoided cost upon reasonable terms and conditions approved by the PUC. In 2024, the PUC proposed certain revisions to the Integrated Grid Planning Framework for Competitive Bidding, and Hawaiian Electric provided comments and proposed additional modifications. On February 25, 2025, the PUC issued an order adopting the modifications.

*<u>Technological developments</u>.* New emerging and breakthrough technological developments may impact the Utilities' future competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The Utilities continue to seek prudent opportunities to develop, test, pilot, and implement technologies that align with their technical and business plans and support WSS, clean energy and decarbonized goals, while ensuring reliability and resilience as the Utilities adapt to evolving climate dynamics. Technologies that the Utilities are evaluating include the commercial development of enhanced fault detection and advanced protection schemes that would monitor, detect, and isolate falling overhead distribution and transmission lines to reduce wildfire risks and improve public/employee safety. Other technologies include long-duration energy storage, grid-forming and black starting inverters in low inertia power systems, microgrids, distributed generation, grid modernization, and electrification of transportation. The Utilities also plan to start to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to test predictive analytics and control through edge computing to help assess the state of health of utility assets and prevent premature failure, and the diversification of generation from renewable sources.

**Environmental matters.** See "Electric utility—Regulation—Environmental regulation" under "Item 1. Business" and "Environmental regulation" in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Commitments and contingencies.** See Item 1A. Risk Factors, and Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of important commitments and contingencies.

**Off-balance sheet arrangements.** See "Off-balance sheet arrangements" above in HEI Consolidated section.

**Material estimates and critical accounting policies.** Also see "Material estimates and critical accounting policies" above in HEI Consolidated section.

*<u>Regulatory assets and liabilities</u>.* The Utilities are regulated by the PUC. In accordance with accounting standards for regulatory operations, the Company's and the Utilities' financial statements reflect assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of the Utilities based on current cost-based rate-making regulations. The actions of regulators, including the PBR Framework, can affect the timing of recognition of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.

Regulatory liabilities represent amounts collected from customers for costs that are expected to be incurred in the future, or amounts collected in excess of costs incurred that are refundable to customers. Regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred because their recovery in future customer rates is probable. As of December 31, 2025, the consolidated regulatory liabilities and regulatory assets of the Utilities amounted to $1,444 million and $308 million, respectively, compared to $1,244 million and $281 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively. Regulatory liabilities and regulatory assets are

------

itemized in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management continually assesses whether the regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as changes in the applicable regulatory environment. 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.

Management believes that the operations of the Utilities, including the impact of the approved PBR Framework, currently satisfy the criteria for regulatory accounting. If events or circumstances should change so that those criteria are no longer satisfied, the Utilities expect that their regulatory assets, net of regulatory liabilities, would be charged to the statement of income in the period of discontinuance, which may result in a material adverse effect on the Company's and the Utilities' results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

*<u>Asset retirement obligations</u>.* The Utilities recognize AROs at present value of expected costs to retire long-lived assets from service, which is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that relies on significant estimates and assumptions about future decommissioning costs, inflationary rates, and the estimated date of decommissioning. The estimated future cash flows are discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate to reflect the risk associated with decommissioning the assets. 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 Utility-owned generating facilities and certain electric transmission, distribution and telecommunication assets resulting from easements over property not owned by the Utilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Changes in estimated costs, timing of decommissioning or other assumptions used in the calculation could cause material revision on the recorded liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Utilities' AROs totaled $13.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

**ITEM 7A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

**HEI and Hawaiian Electric** (in the case of Hawaiian Electric, only the information related to Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries is applicable):

The Company manages various market risks in the ordinary course of business, including credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company believes the electric utility and the "All Other" segment's exposures to these two risks were not material as of December 31, 2025.

The Utilities are exposed to some commodity price risk primarily related to their fuel supply and IPP contracts. The Utilities' commodity price risk is substantially mitigated so long as they have their current ECRCs in their rate schedules, but have limited exposure through the fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism, which apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of $3.7 million. The Utilities currently have no hedges against its commodity price risk.

The Company currently has no direct exposure to market risk from trading activities nor foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The Company considers interest rate risk to be a very significant market risk as it could potentially have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, but also as it may affect the discount rate used to determine retirement benefit liabilities and minimum contributions, the market value of retirement benefit plans' assets, borrowing costs and the Utilities' allowed rates of return. Interest rate risk can be defined as the exposure of the Company's earnings to adverse movements in interest rates.

**Interest rate risk**<br>

The Company's general policy is to manage interest rate risk through use of a combination of short-term debt, long-term debt and preferred securities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was exposed to interest rate risk because of its restricted access to lower cost capital, including the impact of interest rates on the revolving credit facility draws, the impact of interest rates on the discount rate and the market value of plan assets used to determine retirement benefits expenses and obligations (see "Pension and other postretirement benefits obligations" in HEI's MD&A and "Retirement benefits" in Notes 1 and 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the possible effect of interest rates on the Utilities' allowed rates of return. Other than these exposures, management believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material. However, continued restricted access to lower cost capital for an extended period of time may adversely impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations. The Company's long-term debt, in the form of borrowings of proceeds of revenue bonds and privately-placed senior notes, is carried at fixed rates (see Note 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value of long-term debt, net).

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**<br>

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.

**Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

**Basis for Opinions**

The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

***Electric Utility Segment — Certain Regulatory Assets and Liabilities — Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the financial statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. ("Hawaiian Electric" or the "Utility") is subject to rate regulation by the Hawaii Public Utility Commission (the "PUC") and accounts for the effects of regulation under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 980, "Regulated Operations," as management believes that the operations of the Utility satisfy the criteria for regulatory accounting. The Company's 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.

Hawaiian Electric's rates are subject to regulatory rate-setting processes and earnings oversight. Rates are determined and approved in regulatory proceedings based on an analysis of the Utility's costs to provide utility service and a return on, and recovery of, Hawaiian Electric's investment in the utility business.

We identified the impact of rate regulation as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about the applicability of the specialized rules and to evaluate the likelihood of (1) recovery in future rates of certain incurred costs and (2) the refund to customers of certain amounts. Performing audit procedures related to these judgments required significant auditor judgment and specialized knowledge.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit* 

Our audit procedures related to the application of specialized rules to account for rate regulation included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of management's controls over (1) the evaluation of the application of specialized rules to account for rate regulation and (2) for certain regulatory assets and liabilities the evaluation of the likelihood of (a) the recovery in future rates of costs deferred as regulatory assets and (b) refunds to customers reported as regulatory liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the Company's conclusion that it should apply the specialized rules to account for the effects of rate regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the Company's disclosures related to the impacts of rate regulation, including the balances recorded and regulatory developments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the PUC for the Utility to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates or of a future reduction in rates based on precedents of the PUC's treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For certain regulatory assets and liabilities we evaluated whether the amounts recorded were in accordance with ASC Topic 980.

**Contingencies — Tort-Related Legal Claims - Refer to Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

Multiple civil and class action lawsuits (collectively the "tort-related legal claims") have been filed against the Company, its subsidiaries, and other defendants related to a number of brush fires that occurred on August 8, 2023, on the island of Maui. Most of these lawsuits allege that the defendants were responsible for, and/or negligent in failing to prevent or respond to the wildfires that led to the property destruction and loss of life. Other claims include, among other things, personal injury, wrongful death, emotional distress and inverse condemnation.

The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly. 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 discloses 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.

We identified the evaluation of the loss contingencies related to the tort-related legal claims, and related disclosures, as a critical audit matter because auditing management's judgments in determining the appropriate accounting and disclosures for the tort-related legal claims required significant auditor judgement.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the loss contingency involving the tort-related legal claims included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over management's evaluation of the tort-related legal claims, including controls related to the Company's assessment of the probability of loss, measurement and classification of the contingent liability, and related disclosures based on the facts and circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We inquired of the Company's management and internal and external legal counsel to understand the nature and status of the tort-related legal claims and the status of the settlement agreements described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read the settlement agreements regarding the tort-related legal claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We requested written responses from internal and external counsel regarding (1) a description of the nature of the tort-related legal claims, (2) progress of the tort-related legal claims, (3) the status of the Company's response, and (4) an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and an estimate, if one can be made, of the amount of range of potential loss, and received written responses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated management's measurement of the recorded loss contingency for the tort-related legal claims and the balance sheet classification of that liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated any events subsequent to December 31, 2025, that might impact our evaluation of the tort-related claims loss contingency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We obtained written representations from executives of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We read the Company's related disclosures and evaluated them for consistency with the evidence obtained from our audit procedures.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm** <br>

To the **s**hareholder and the Board of Directors of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of capitalization of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in common stock equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**Note 1 · Summary of significant accounting policies**<br>

**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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

*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.

**Note 2 · Maui windstorm and wildfires**<br>

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.

*<u>One 'Ohana Initiative</u>.* 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.

*<u>Class Settlement Agreement and Individual Settlement Agreement</u>*. 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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

*<u>Insurer litigation</u>.* 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.

*<u>Approval of the Class Settlement Agreement</u>.* 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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

*<u>Litigation with Opt Outs</u>.* 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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

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

Hawaii without any admission of fault or responsibility. Under the terms of the agreement, HEI and the Utilities agreed to contribute $18.4 million through the end of 2024 related to the costs of the professional advisors engaged by the State of Hawaii to advise on a variety of matters related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires. Such costs were reflected in Maui windstorm and wildfires related expenses-Other expense in 2024 in the table above.

**Note 3 · Segment financial information**<br>

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**<br>

"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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**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.

*<u>Sale of Hamakua Holdings, LLC.</u>* 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.

*<u>Sale of solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities</u>.* 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.

*<u>Assets held for sale-Mahipapa</u>.* 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-

**Note 4 · Electric utility segment**<br>

**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.

Regulatory assets were as follows:

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).

*<u>Regulatory assets for Maui windstorm and wildfires related costs</u>.* 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.

*<u>Regulatory asset related to retirement of generating units</u>.* 

*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.

*<u>Regulatory liabilities for Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM)</u>.* 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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

*<u>Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs</u>*. 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.

*<u>Regulatory assets for suspension of disconnections related costs</u>.* 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.

*<u>Regulatory assets for Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP)</u>*. 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.

*<u>Regulatory liability restoration/remediation</u>.* 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.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**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.** 

*<u>Power purchase agreements</u>*. 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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

*<u>GLST1</u>*. 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.**

*<u>Contingencies</u>.* 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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

<u>Former Molokai Electric Company generation site</u>. 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.

<u>Pearl Harbor sediment study</u>. 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.

<u>Endangered Species Act</u>. 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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

*<u>Commitments</u>.* 

*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:

| Total | $184 | $183 | $175 | $175 | $175 | $1739 | $2631 |

---

<u>Firm capacity PPAs</u>. 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.

<u>Renewable dispatchable generation plug energy storage and energy storage PPAs</u>. 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.

<u>Other renewable PPA</u>. The Utilities also have a long-term renewable PPA that provides the Utilities capacity of 10.56 MW, which expires in 2046.

<u>Fuel transportation lease contract</u>. The Utilities entered into an inter-island fuel transportation contract, expiring in 2027.

<u>Purchased power expense and recovery</u>. 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.

<sup>1</sup> Includes hydro power and other PPAs.

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

<u>Waena Battery Energy Storage System Project</u>*.* 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.

<u>Climate Adaptation Transmission and Distribution Resilience Program</u>. 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.

*<u>Asset retirement obligations</u>.* 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.

---

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.

*<u>Regulatory proceedings</u>.*

*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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

<u>Annual revenue adjustment mechanism</u>. 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.

<u>Earnings sharing mechanism</u>. 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.

<u>Exceptional project recovery mechanism</u>. 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

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

<u>Pilot process</u>*.* 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.

<u>Performance incentive mechanisms</u>*.* 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.

<u>Annual review cycle</u>. 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**<br>

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**<br>

**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.** 

*<u>Syndicated credit agreements</u>.* 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.

*<u>Intercompany borrowing agreement</u>*. 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.

*<u>Asset-based lending facility credit agreement</u>*. 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.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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.

*<u>HEI and Hawaiian Electric's Credit Facilities</u>.* See Note 6 for more information.

*<u>HEI senior notes</u>.* 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.

*<u>Hawaiian Electric notes</u>.* 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.

*<u>Mahipapa non-recourse loan</u>.* 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. See Note 3 for more information.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**Note 9 · Leases**<br>

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.

**Note 10 · Revenues**<br>

**Revenue from contracts with customers.** The revenues subject to ASC Topic 606 include the Utilities' electric energy sales revenue as further described below.

*<u>Electric utilities</u>.*

*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.

*<u>All Other</u>.*

*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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**Revenues from other sources.** Revenues from other sources not subject to ASC Topic 606 are accounted for as follows:

*<u>Electric utilities</u>.*

*Regulatory revenues*. Regulatory revenues primarily consist of revenues from the decoupling mechanism and cost recovery surcharges.

<u>Decoupling mechanism</u> - 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).

<u>Cost recovery surcharges</u> - 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.

**Note 11 · Retirement benefits**<br>

**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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**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.

*<u>Pension benefits</u>*. 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.

*<u>Other benefits</u>*. 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.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

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:

<sup>1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the broad range for equity securities is a minimum of 43% and a maximum of 83%, for pension benefits and a minimum of 54% and maximum of 94%, for other benefits.

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.

*<u>Equity securities, equity index fund, exchange-traded funds and U.S. Treasury fixed income securities (Level 1)</u>.* 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.

*<u>Fixed income securities (Level 2)</u>.* 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.

NA Not applicable

<sup>1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>HEI and the Utilities use a graded rate of compensation increase assumption based on age. The rate provided above is an average across all future years of service for the current population.

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%.

*<u>Hawaiian Electric consolidated</u>*. The Utilities estimate that the cash funding for the qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2026 will be $13 million, which will fully satisfy the ERISA minimum required contribution, the requirements of the pension tracking mechanisms and the Plan's funding policy. The Utilities' current estimate of contributions to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2026 is nil.

As of December 31, 2025, the benefits expected to be paid under all retirement benefit plans in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 and 2031 through 2035 amounted to $111 million, $115 million, $118 million, $121 million, $125 million and $675 million, respectively.

**Defined contribution plans information.** For 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company's expense and cash contributions for its defined contribution plans under the HEIRSP was $9 million, $8 million and $6 million, respectively. Included in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 amounts are non-elective employer contributions for the Utilities and HEI employees first hired on or after January 1, 2022, equal to 10% of those new employees' annual compensation. For 2025, 2024 and 2023 the Utilities' expense and cash contributions for its defined contribution plan under the HEIRSP was $8 million, $7 million and $6 million, respectively.

**Note 12 · Share-based compensation**<br>

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.

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

(2)Represents activity of discontinued operations.

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.

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

<sup>1</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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

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.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**Note 15 · Regulatory restrictions on net assets**<br>

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.

**Note 16 · Significant group concentrations of credit risk**<br>

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.

**Note 17 · Fair value measurements**<br>

**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:

*<u>Money market mutual funds</u>.* 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.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

*<u>Short-term borrowings</u>.* The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

*<u>Long-term debt</u>.* 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.

*<u>Interest rate swaps</u>*. 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.

**<u>Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</u>**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears herein.

**<u>Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting</u>**

The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance from time to time of authorized but unissued shares of stock of any class or any series of any class, as and for a stock dividend or dividends on shares of the same class or series or any other class or any other series of any class. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine whether the stock of any class or any series of any class shall be exchangeable for or convertible into shares of the same class or series or any other class or any other series of any class, or cash, indebtedness, securities or other property, and to determine the terms and conditions and the limitations, if any, upon which the stock of any class or any series of any class shall be so exchangeable or convertible.

Fifth:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There shall be a board of directors of the corporation to consist of not less than five nor more than eighteen members. Except in the case of a director appointed by the remaining directors to fill a vacancy on the board, a nominee for director shall be elected to the board of directors if the votes cast "for" such nominee's election at a stockholder meeting at which a quorum is present exceed the votes cast "against" such nominee's election; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of

------

stockholders for which the secretary of the corporation determines, as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date the corporation files its definitive proxy statement for such meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented), that the number of nominees or proposed nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of directors. The directors need not be stockholders of the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2021 Annual Meeting"), the directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each such class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors. Commencing with the 2021 Annual Meeting, each director elected at an annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that each director elected prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting shall continue to serve for the remainder of the original term for which he or she was originally elected. The division of the directors into classes shall terminate at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. In each case, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to such director's prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The board of directors shall have full power to control and direct the business and affairs of the corporation, subject, however, to instructions by the stockholders and to any limitations which may be set forth in statutory provisions and in these Articles of Incorporation and in any resolutions authorizing the issuance of shares of preferred stock, and in the By-laws of the corporation. The board of directors of the corporation, without the approval of the stockholders of the corporation, or of any percentage thereof, may authorize the borrowing of money or the incurring of debts, even though as a result thereof the amount of the corporation's indebtedness may exceed its capital stock. The board of directors, without the approval of the stockholders of the corporation, or of any percentage thereof, may authorize the making of donations referred to in subparagraph (m) of Article Third.

Sixth:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The officers of the corporation shall be a president, one or more vice-presidents, a secretary, a treasurer and a controller and such other officers as may be provided for by the By-laws. All officers shall be elected or appointed as the By laws shall direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There shall be an audit committee of the board of directors which shall be responsible for the appointment, removal, compensation and oversight of the corporation's independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee shall ask the stockholders of the corporation to ratify such appointment at the annual meeting of stockholders. An independent registered public accounting firm appointed by the audit committee shall serve until a successor is elected or such independent registered public accounting firm's earlier resignation or removal by the audit committee of the board of directors following a determination that it is in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders that the independent registered public accounting firm be so removed. Upon such resignation or removal the audit committee of the board of directors shall appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm. An independent

------

registered public accounting firm so appointed shall be recommended for ratification at the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, unless such independent registered public accounting firm shall earlier resign or be replaced.

Seventh: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The corporation shall have power to sue and be sued, by said corporate name; to make and use a common seal, and to alter the same at pleasure; to hold, purchase, lease and convey, either absolutely or by way of mortgage, such real and personal property, including therein its own shares, or shares in other corporations and such franchises as the purposes of the corporation shall require and to mortgage the same to secure any debt of the corporation; to appoint such officers and agents as the business of the corporation shall from time to time require and to make such By-laws for the management of its property, the election and removal of its officers, the regulation of its affairs, and the transfer of its stock as the business of the corporation shall from time to time require.

Eighth:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The board of directors in the name of the corporation shall have power at any time or from time to time to make or to delegate to any officer or officers the power to make contracts with any person, firm, corporation, association or organization, employing, engaging or appointing such person, firm, corporation, association or organization as agent of the corporation or as manager of the business and affairs of the corporation, to perform duties and services and to exercise powers and authority in behalf of the corporation, including ministerial, executive, discretionary and/or managerial powers, subject, however, to the supervision of the board of directors. Any such contract shall run for such period of time and shall contain such terms and provisions with respect to the duties, services, powers and authority to be performed and exercised by such agent or manager and with respect to the compensation to be given to such agent or manager therefor, and otherwise, as the board of directors may determine.

Ninth:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No contract or other transaction between the corporation and any other corporation or any firm, association or other organization, and no act of the corporation, shall in any way be affected or invalidated by the fact that any of the directors or officers of the corporation are parties to such contract or transaction or act or are pecuniarily or otherwise interested in the same or are directors or officers or members of any such other corporation or any such firm, association or other corporation, provided that the interest of such director or officer shall be disclosed or shall have been known to the board of directors authorizing or approving the same, or to a majority thereof. Any director of the corporation who is pecuniarily or otherwise interested in or is a director or officer or member of such other corporation or any such firm, association or other organization, may be counted in determining a quorum of any meeting of the board of directors which shall authorize or approve any such contract, transaction or act, and may vote thereon with like force and effect as if the director were in no way interested therein. Neither any director nor officer of the corporation, being so interested in any such contract, transaction, or act of the corporation which shall be approved by the board of directors of the corporation, nor any corporation, firm, association, or other organization in which such director or officer may be interested, shall be liable or accountable to the corporation, or to any stockholder thereof, for any loss incurred by the corporation pursuant to or by reason of such

------

contract, transaction, or act, or for any gain received by any such other party pursuant thereto or by reason thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any director of the corporation may vote upon any contract or other transaction between the corporation and any subsidiary or affiliated corporation, including any corporation which owns all or substantially all of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation, without regard to the fact that he may also be a director or officer or stockholder of or otherwise interested in or connected with such subsidiary or affiliated corporation; and no contract or other transaction entered into by and between the corporation and any such subsidiary or affiliated corporation shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that any director or officer of the corporation may also be a director, officer, or stockholder of or otherwise interested in or connected with such subsidiary or affiliated corporation, or by the fact that said contract or transaction may be entered into by officers of the corporation or may be authorized or ratified by the vote of directors who may also be directors, officers or stockholders of or otherwise interested in or connected with such subsidiary or affiliated corporation.

Tenth:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Service of process against the corporation may be made upon the president, secretary, or treasurer of the corporation.

Eleventh: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The corporation shall have succession and corporate existence in perpetuity and become a body corporate under the name and style of HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, INC. and shall have all the powers and rights and be subject to all of the liabilities provided by law for incorporated companies and shall have all the benefits of all general laws hereafter enacted in regard to corporations. All of the property of the corporation shall be liable for the just debts thereof, but no holder of or subscriber for shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall as such be individually liable beyond the amount, if any, which may be due upon the share or shares of capital stock held or subscribed for by him.

Twelfth: (a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys· fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to this corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or in any other court having jurisdiction in the premises shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or a person serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the corporation, or (3) by a majority vote of the stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in a particular case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any indemnification pursuant to this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or those indemnified may be entitled and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Article shall be effective with respect to any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation at any time on or after adoption with respect to any action, suit or proceeding pending on or after that date, by reason of the fact that he is or was, before or after that date, a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving, before or after that date, at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Thirteenth:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The personal liability of directors of the corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Hawaii law, including, without limitation, to the fullest extent permissible under Section 414-222 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, as amended from time to time. No repeal or amendment of this Article directly or by adoption of an inconsistent provision of these Restated Articles of Incorporation will be effective with respect to the liability of a director for acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or amendment.

These Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation supersede the original articles of incorporation and all restatements thereof and amendments thereto.

## Ex-4

<u>HECO Exhibit 4</u>

**DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES**

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. ("Hawaiian Electric") is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock ("Common Stock"), in addition to 5,000,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $20 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share (collectively, the "Preferred Stock"). Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. ("HEI") owns 100% of the outstanding and authorized, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock.

The following description of the Common Stock and the related provisions of Hawaiian Electric's Amended Articles of Incorporation (as amended, the "Articles") and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") are summaries and are qualified by reference to its Articles and Bylaws, which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as by applicable Hawaii law.

**Common Stock**

*Dividends*. Subject to the restrictions referred to below and to the preferential rights of the Preferred Stock, dividends on the Common Stock will be paid, if and when as determined by the Board of Directors of Hawaiian Electric (the "Board"), out of funds legally available for this purpose. Hawaiian Electric may not declare or pay dividends on the Common Stock (or set apart any funds or assets for the payment of any such dividends, other than dividends consistently solely of Common Stock) unless full dividends then due on the Preferred Stock have been paid for the then-current and all previous periods, to the extent any such Preferred Stock is outstanding.

The ability of Hawaiian Electric to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI, or to make loans or extend credit to or purchase assets from HEI, is subject to contractual, statutory and regulatory restrictions, including, without limitation, the provisions of an agreement with the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (the "PUC"), as well as restrictions and limitations set forth in debt instruments and guarantees of HEI, Hawaiian Electric or their subsidiaries. See "Business-HEI Consolidated-Regulation" in HEI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a more complete description of Hawaiian Electric's ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI.

*Voting Rights*. Except as otherwise provided by law and subject to the voting rights of holders of the Preferred Stock, to the extent any is outstanding, the holders of the Common Stock have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors of the Board and for all other purposes. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented to shareholders. The Common Stock will vote together as a single class. At annual and special meetings of shareholders, a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock constitutes a quorum, and, if a quorum is present, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast and action on other matters are taken if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast against the action.

*Liquidation Rights*. After satisfaction of the preferential liquidation rights of any Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock and entitled to share, ratably, in the distribution of all remaining assets.

*Preemptive and Other Rights*. The holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive rights as to additional issuances of Common Stock or conversion rights. The shares of Common Stock are not subject to redemption or to any further calls or assessments and are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund provisions.

**Restriction on Purchases of Shares and Consequences of Substantial Holdings under Hawaii Law** 

Under provisions of Hawaii law regulating public utilities, not more than 25% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of certain public utility corporations, including Hawaiian Electric and its wholly owned electric utility subsidiaries, may be held, directly or indirectly, by any single foreign corporation or any single nonresident alien, or held by any person, without the prior approval of the PUC. The acquisition of more than 25% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of HEI in one or more transactions might be deemed to result in the holding of more than 25% of the Common Stock. In addition, HEI is subject to an agreement entered into with the PUC when Hawaiian Electric became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEI. This agreement provides that the acquisition of HEI by a third party, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, requires the prior written approval of the PUC.

------

The Hawaii Control Share Acquisition Act places restrictions on the acquisition of ranges of voting power (starting at 10% and at 10% intervals up to a majority) for the election of directors unless the acquiring person obtains approval of the acquisition, in the manner specified in the Hawaii Control Share Acquisition Act, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote, exclusive of the shares beneficially owned by the acquiring person, and consummates the proposed control share acquisition within 180 days after shareholder approval. If such approval is not obtained, the statute provides that the shares acquired may not be voted for a period of one year from the date of acquisition, the shares will be nontransferable on Hawaiian Electric's books for one year after acquisition and the Company, during the one-year period, Hawaiian Electric has the right to call the shares for redemption either at the prices at which the shares were acquired or at book value per share as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended prior to the date of the call for redemption.
