Strong First Quarter Produces Earnings of $39.8 Million at Pacific Century Financial Corporation; Earnings per share up 13.6 percent year-over-year

April 19, 2000

HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2000--Pacific Century Financial Corporation (NYSE:BOH) reported strong first quarter 2000 earnings of $39.8 million, up 12.3 percent from $35.4 million reported for the first quarter of 1999 and up 5.8 percent from $37.6 million reported for the fourth quarter of 1999. Diluted earnings per share were $0.50, up 13.6 percent from $0.44 reported for 1999's first quarter and up 6.4 percent from $0.47 reported for 1999's fourth quarter.

Tangible or economic earnings for the quarter were $43.9 million relative to $39.3 million reported for the same period last year. Tangible diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.55, up 14.6 percent from $0.48 reported for the first quarter of 1999.

Return on average assets for the quarter was 1.13 percent compared to 0.96 percent for 1999's first quarter. Return on average equity was 13.19 percent versus 12.00 percent for the same period last year. The efficiency ratio was 62.1 percent relative to 66.4 percent for the first quarter of 1999. On a tangible basis, return on average assets, return on average equity and the efficiency ratio for the first quarter were 1.26 percent, 17.54 percent and 59.7 percent, respectively.

"We're pleased to be able to demonstrate that the implementation of New Era Redesign initiatives is delivering the intended positive results," noted Lawrence M. Johnson, Pacific Century Chairman and CEO. "The improved performance clearly reflects the dedication and commitment of our staff."

The company saw improvement in non-interest expense in the first quarter, which stood at $126.1 million, down 6.5 percent from the first quarter of 1999 and down 3.9 percent relative to the fourth quarter of 1999. Factors contributing to the improvement in expenses include the implementation of New Era initiatives and the reduction in costs related to Y2K readiness.

Non-performing assets, exclusive of loans past due 90+ days ended the quarter at $136.4 million, compared to $149.9 million at the end of 1999's fourth quarter and $163.3 million at the end of 1999's first quarter.

"Our first quarter performance is an indicator of the momentum that's building in the company," said Johnson. "New Era implementation is solidly under way and on-track, and we are making steady progress at establishing a foundation for long-term growth and performance."

At March 31, 2000, total assets were $14.3 billion relative to $14.9 billion at the end of the first quarter last year. Reductions in investment securities and Asian exposure were primarily responsible for the decline in assets. Net loans ended the quarter at $9.3 billion versus $9.2 billion at the end of the first quarter of 1999. Total deposits were $9.1 billion compared to $9.4 billion for the period ended March 31, 1999. The decline in deposits was driven by a reduction in foreign time deposits due to banks (functionally a form of short-term borrowings), which offset net growth of $86.7 million in other deposit categories.

Hawaii's economy continues to gain momentum with the consensus forecast for real gross state product growth in 2000 of 2.5 percent, which is likely to be revised upward according to Hawaii's economists. Tourism is showing strength after the Y2K-related slowdown in visitors. In February 2000, total visitor arrivals and visitor days increased over last year by 4.2 percent and 7.1 percent, respectively. The state's Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism noted that its index of Leading Economic Indicators rose for the ninth consecutive month in December 1999, suggesting a sustained period of higher economic activity for Hawaii.

In other news, Bank of Hawaii, Pacific Century's largest subsidiary, recently relocated and enhanced its Waikiki Branch, debuting an array of automated banking technology that is at the cutting edge of the industry. Clients can conduct their banking via "virtual" tellers, advanced-function ATMs, bank machines for businesses, and online and telephone banking kiosks. In addition, the branch offers personalized services through personal and business bankers, Asia Division personnel and a branch concierge. As part of a larger strategy, some of the new technology and service enhancements will be introduced to other branches in Hawaii.

Bank of Hawaii also recently launched its e-Bankoh for Business online banking service, which enables small businesses to access their accounts, obtain real-time balances and pay bills via the Internet 24 hours a day.

Comments on First Quarter 2000 Results

Pacific Century Financial Corporation reported first quarter earnings of $39.8 million, up 12.3% from the same period last year and 5.8% higher than reported for the fourth quarter of 1999. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter were $0.50, up 13.6% from the $0.44 reported in 1999's first quarter and up 6.4% from $0.47 reported in 1999's fourth quarter.

Tangible or economic earnings for the quarter were $43.9 million relative to $39.3 million reported for the like period last year. Tangible diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.55, up 14.6% from $0.48 reported for the first quarter of 1999.

Return on average assets for the first quarter was 1.13%, up from 0.96% in 1999's like quarter while return on average equity was 13.19%, up from 12.00% for last year's first quarter. On a tangible basis return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter were 1.26% and 17.54%, respectively.

Total assets of $14.3 billion at March 31, 2000 were 4.5% lower than at March 31, 1999, reflecting a continuing emphasis to make the balance sheet more efficient. Year over year, $142.0 million in loan growth was more than offset by a $699.8 million decline in securities and other short-term earning assets. Deposits at March 31, 2000 were $9.1 billion, down $291.4 million from March 31, 1999. The decline in deposits was driven by a reduction in foreign time deposits due to banks (functionally a form of short-term borrowings), which offset net growth of $86.7 million in other deposit categories.

Pacific Century's New Era redesign program finished the second quarter of its four-quarter implementation timeline. We are pleased to report that New Era is demonstrating its intended impact on net income.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis declined by 2.9% to $139.8 million from the same period in 1999. The decline was primarily the result of the reduction in average earning assets referred to above. Net interest margin for the quarter was 4.31%, up from 4.24% for the first quarter of 1999 and unchanged from 1999's fourth quarter.

The provision for loan losses totaled $13.5 million for the quarter, compared with $12.6 million in 1999's first quarter and $20.9 million in 1999's fourth quarter. The $13.5 million provision exceeded first quarter net charge offs by $2.2 million.

Non-performing assets (NPAs), exclusive of loans past due 90+ days ended the quarter at $136.4 million or 1.39% of total loans, down from $163.3 million at March 31, 1999 and down from $149.9 million at year-end 1999. During the quarter, approximately $5.0 million non-performing residential real estate loans were sold, contributing to the overall NPA decline.

Non-interest income, exclusive of securities transactions, totaled $63.6 million, up 7.3% from 1999's first quarter and down 0.7% from 1999's fourth quarter. Results reflected approximately $2.0 million in non-recurring other operating income during the quarter, compared with $4.3 million in non-recurring other operating income in 1999's fourth quarter. Results also reflected modest contributions relative to "New Era" idea implementation and the seasonal impact of income tax processing fees as a component of trust income.

Non-interest expense totaled $126.1 million for the quarter, down 6.5% from 1999's first quarter, and down 3.9% from 1999's fourth quarter. Comparing first quarter 2000 to first quarter 1999, the improvement is largely driven by reduced compensation expense and reduced other operating expenses related to New Era implementation and Y2K remediation costs. On a linked quarter basis, comparisons reflect non-recurring items previously noted that reduced fourth quarter 1999 compensation expense by approximately $2.3 million and increased other operating expenses by a similar amount.

During the quarter, Pacific Century repurchased approximately 510,000 shares of common stock, of which approximately 374,000 related to the company's October 1999 share repurchase authorization; while the remainder offset shares issued under the company's dividend reinvestment plan and various benefit plans. Pacific Century's board of directors amended the October 1999 authorization to allow for the quarterly repurchase of up to $6.0 million worth of Pacific Century stock; previously the authorization had been for up to 300,000 shares per quarter.
