Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company providing a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam, nearby islands and American Samoa).  The Company’s principal subsidiary is Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”).  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

 

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations.  Generally, stock-based employee compensation expense associated with stock options is not reflected in net income as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report, including its Earnings Outlook, contains forward-looking statements concerning, among other things, the economic environment in the Company’s service area, the expected level of loan and lease loss provisioning, and anticipated net income, dividends, revenues and expenses during 2004 and beyond.  The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, any of which could prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those projected for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: 1) unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions, the competitive environment, fiscal and monetary policies, or legislation in Hawaii and the other markets the Company serves; 2) changes in the Company’s credit quality or risk profile which may increase or decrease the required level of allowance for loan and lease losses; 3) changes in market interest rates that may affect the Company’s credit markets and ability to maintain its net interest margin; 4) changes to the amount and timing of the Company’s proposed equity repurchases and repayment of maturing debt; 5) inability to achieve expected benefits of the Company’s business process changes due to adverse changes in implementation processes or costs, operational savings, or timing; 6) real or threatened acts of war or terrorist activity affecting business conditions; and 7) adverse weather and other natural conditions impacting the Company and its customers’ operations.  Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not exclusive means of identifying such statements.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect later events or circumstances.

OVERVIEW

 

In January 2004, the Company announced its 2004-2006 plan (the “Plan”), which continues to build on the objective of maximizing shareholder value over time that was established in the previous three-year strategic plan.

 

There are five key elements of the Plan: 1) accelerate revenue growth in our island markets; 2) better integrate our business segments; 3) continue to develop our management teams; 4) improve operating efficiency; and 5) maintain a culture of dependable risk and capital management.  The Company expects accelerated growth through improved customer service levels and a more proactive, integrated sales culture across the Company.  In order to better integrate the Company’s three primary business segments - Retail Banking, Commercial Banking and Investment Services Group - each segment is working more closely with the others to improve the breadth of customer relationships.  In developing the management team, the Company is assessing leadership talent, building leadership capabilities and maintaining a comprehensive succession plan. To improve efficiency, the Company is identifying opportunities and implementing changes that lower costs without negatively impacting customer service. In maintaining a discipline of dependable risk and capital management, the Company continually seeks to optimally balance risk, liquidity and capital. Risk will be managed in accordance with established tolerance levels while supporting business units in making value-adding risk/return decisions.

 

Allan R. Landon succeeded Michael E. O’Neill as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and its principal subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii, on September 1, 2004.  Mr. Landon, the company’s eighth chairman, will retain the title of President.

 

The Company utilizes various financial measures to evaluate its performance against the objectives of the Plan.  These measures include diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, efficiency ratio and operating leverage, which is defined as the impact of relative changes in revenues and expenses on operating income.  Operating income is defined as income before provision for loan and lease losses and income taxes.  Management also uses net income after capital charge as a key measure of the value the Company is creating for its shareholders.  In evaluating the effectiveness of credit risk management, the Company looks at credit quality measures such as the ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to loans and leases outstanding, the ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans outstanding (annualized) and the ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and foreclosed real estate.

 

For the third quarter of 2004, the Company’s diluted earnings per share was $0.78, an increase of $0.17 or 28% from diluted earnings per share of $0.61 for the third quarter of 2003.  Net income for the third quarter of 2004 was $43.1 million, an increase of $6.4 million or 17% from net income of $36.7 million reported in the same prior year quarter.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net income was $127.1 million, an increase of $30.6 million or 32% from the same prior year period.  Diluted earnings per share were $2.26 for the first nine months of 2004, an increase of 45% from diluted earnings per share of $1.56 for the first nine months of 2003.  The year-to-date return on average assets was 1.74%, an increase from 1.37% from the same period in 2003.  The year-to-date return on average equity was 22.48%, an increase from 13.95% from the same period in 2003.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 net income after capital charge was $50.7 million, compared to $8.7 million for the same prior year period.  For additional information on net income after capital charge, refer to the section on “Business Segments.”  Operating leverage for the first nine months of 2004 was 32.3% and the efficiency ratio was 56.4%.

 

Factors that had an impact on the comparability of year-to-year results include the effect of a negative provision for loan and lease losses that was recorded in the second quarter of 2004, non-core transactions and the Company’s ongoing stock repurchase program.  Non-core transactions in the third quarter of 2004 included non-interest income of $5.2 million from a gain on the sale of assets at the end of a leveraged lease transaction.  Non-core transactions in the second quarter of 2004 included non-interest income of $3.2 million from a leasing partnership distribution that was dissolved and a $2.5 million gain realized on the sale of a parcel of land.  Non-core transactions in the second quarter of 2004 included non-interest expense of $2.2 million related primarily to a legal settlement.  The Company does not expect items such as these in the fourth quarter of 2004.  Results for the third quarter of 2003 were significantly affected by the costs associated with the systems replacement project.  These items are further discussed in the section on “Analysis of Statement of Income.”

ANALYSIS OF STATEMENT OF INCOME

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 increased from the comparable periods in 2003 by $7.7 million or 8% and $18.1 million or 7%, respectively.  The increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2004 from the third quarter of 2003 was the result of an increase in interest income from higher average balances of investments available for sale, installment and home equity loans. Offsetting this increase was a reduction in interest income from residential mortgage loans due to the lower interest rate environment.  The increase in net interest income for the first nine months of 2004 from the same period in 2003 was primarily due to an increase in interest income from the investment portfolio resulting from higher yields on the available for sale portfolio and higher average balances of securities held to maturity.  In addition, interest expense on deposits declined due to lower interest rates paid on savings and time deposits.  Offsetting these positive factors was lower interest income from residential mortgages, due to the lower interest rate environment.

 

The net interest margin was 4.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2004, a 24 basis point increase from the comparable period in 2003.  The improvement in the margin was attributable to an improvement in the yield on earning assets and lower average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in rates on other funding sources.  The yield on earning assets increased 17 basis points quarter-to-quarter, led by an increase of 114 basis points in the yield on the investment portfolio, primarily consisting of mortgage-backed securities.  In the third quarter of 2003, the yield on mortgage-backed securities was lower due to high levels of loan prepayments resulting from the declining interest rate environment.  Offsetting the increased yield from investment securities was a decline in the average yield on the loans and leases outstanding of 26 basis points.  This decline was primarily attributable to the lower interest rate environment which had a negative impact on the yield earned on residential mortgage loans.  The rate on short-term borrowings increased, which was consistent with the Federal Reserve’s recent rate increases, while the average rate on long-term debt increased due to the maturity of $90.0 million in lower cost debt in the beginning of the third quarter 2004.

 

The net interest margin increased 10 basis points in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same prior year period.  The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits declined by 31 basis points during this period in 2004 relative to 2003.  Consistent with the increase in the three-month period, the yield on investment securities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  This increase was partially offset by a decline in the average yield on loans and leases.  This decline was primarily attributable to the lower interest rate environment which had a negative impact on the yield earned on residential mortgage loans.  In addition, the Company offered a low initial introductory rate for the first six months on its installment loan portfolio.

 

Average earning assets for the first nine months of 2004 increased $355.9 million or 4% from the same period in 2003 mainly due to a $261.9 million increase in average loans and leases outstanding.  The increase was primarily attributable to increases in installment and home equity loans, which increased 26%.  For the first nine months of 2004, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $273.0 million or 4% from 2003, largely due to an increase in interest-bearing transactional deposit balances and securities repurchase agreements, offset by decreases in time deposits and long-term debt.

 

Average balances, related income and expenses, and resulting yields and rates are presented in Table 2.  An analysis of change in net interest income is presented in Table 3.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

 

No Provision for Loan and Lease Losses (“Provision”) was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  This resulted in a third quarter reduction in the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Allowance”) of $0.3 million, which was equal to the amount of net charge-offs.  For further information on Allowance, refer to “Corporate Risk Profile - Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.”

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a negative Provision of $3.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2004 as a result of improvement in credit quality and ongoing assessments of economic conditions and risk.  The combination of the negative Provision and year-to-date net charge-offs of $0.9 million resulted in a year-to-date reduction in the Allowance of $4.4 million.

 

For further information on Credit Quality, refer to the section entitled “Corporate Risk Profile.”

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income decreased $0.7 million or 1% for the third quarter of 2004, but increased $7.5 million or 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from the comparable periods in 2003.

 

Trust and asset management income increased $1.3 million or 3% during the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.  The increase in fee income was due to an improvement in market conditions, which resulted in an increase in the average market value of assets under management and higher investment advisory fees on money market assets from increased short-term interest rates.

 

Mortgage banking income decreased $4.2 million or 71% and $5.7 million or 47% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2003.  Mortgage banking income is sensitive to the interest rate environment and conditions in the real estate market.  The declines primarily resulted from lower gains on the sale of mortgage loans in 2004, which were attributable to lower loan production.  Mortgage loan production decreased 72% and 56% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods due to the lower interest rate environment in 2003, which resulted in high refinancing activity.  Partially offsetting the lower gains was a reduction in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights due to a decrease in loan prepayments in 2004.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $0.6 million or 6% and $2.5 million or 9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods.  The increases were largely due to higher account analysis fees resulting from lower offsetting earnings credits.  On a year-to-year comparison, overdraft fees also increased due to an increase in the number of transactional deposit accounts.

 

Fees, exchange, and other service charges decreased $2.3 million or 14% and $1.3 million or 3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2003.  The third quarter of 2003 included a $3.1 million prepayment fee on a commercial real estate loan.  Excluding the prepayment fee, income remained relatively flat in the third quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 and on a year-to-year basis increased $1.8 million due primarily to increased foreign exchange income and merchant transaction and card fees as a result of higher merchant sales volume.

 

Other non-interest income increased $6.1 million or 104% and $12.1 million or 68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, over the same periods in 2003.  The quarter-to-quarter increase was attributable to a $5.2 million gain on the sale of assets at the end of a leveraged lease transaction.  In addition to the gain, the increase for the first nine months of 2004 from the prior year was due to a $3.2 million distribution from a leasing partnership investment and a $2.5 million gain on the sale of a parcel of land in the second quarter of 2004.

 

15



 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense decreased $4.7 million or 5% and $22.1 million or 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods.  Included in non-interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 were systems replacement costs of $4.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively.  Excluding such systems replacement costs, total non-interest expense in 2004 was unchanged compared to the same prior year periods.  Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the systems replacement project.

 

Salaries and benefits expense decreased $0.6 million for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.  Base salaries decreased $3.5 million or 4% from 2003 as a result of a 4% decrease in the number of employees.  Also contributing to the decline were reductions in commission expense due to lower mortgage loan originations.  Partially offsetting the decrease was the expense for restricted stock units.

 

Table 4 presents the components of salaries and benefits expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

Net equipment expense declined $1.5 million or 20% and $8.6 million or 33% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same prior year periods.  The decreases were mainly due to reduced depreciation expense and software license fees resulting from the systems replacement project.

 

Other non-interest expense increased $9.3 million or 16% for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.  As a result of the systems replacement project outsourcing, expense for technology services increased by $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2004.  The increase in other non-interest expense was also due to a $2.2 million reserve recorded in the second quarter of 2004 related primarily to a legal settlement, as well as increased advertising cost and expenses for professional services relating to the Company’s mutual funds.

 

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

 

Short-Term Earning Assets

 

Short-term earning assets, consisting of interest-bearing deposits and funds sold, totaled $55.0 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $99.8 million and $153.7 million from December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, respectively.  The declines from 2003 were mainly due to the use of funds to reduce long term-debt, deploy into longer term assets and repurchase the Company’s stock.

 

16



 

Investment Securities

 

Investment securities totaled $3.0 billion at September 30, 2004, a $240.3 million increase from December 31, 2003 as a portion of excess liquidity was deployed into investment securities.  At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 investment securities with a book value of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure deposits of public (government) entities and repurchase agreements.

 

Changes in interest rates influence the fair market values of certain investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, which can result in temporary gross unrealized losses.  The gross unrealized losses on temporarily impaired investment securities that had been impaired for less than 12 months as of September 30, 2004 totaled $16.2 million or one percent of the total investment securities book value, compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2003.  The improvement, which was primarily related to mortgage-backed securities, was due to the change in the securities portfolio mix in which purchased securities yielded higher interest rates than those that have matured.  The Company has both the intent and ability to hold the securities for the time necessary to recover the amortized cost.  As of September 30, 2004, no investment security had been impaired for more than 12 months.

Loans Held for Sale

 

Loans held for sale, consisting of residential mortgage loans, totaled $18.6 million at September 30, 2004, $9.2 million at December 31, 2003 and $23.1 million at September 30, 2003.  The changes in 2004 as compared to both periods in 2003 were a result of the impact of mortgage loan sales activity and production volume.

 

17



 

Loans and Leases

 

As of September 30, 2004, loans and leases outstanding were $5.8 billion, relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2003 and an increase of $245.2 million from September 30, 2003.  Growth has continued in the consumer loan portfolios due to increased branch sales activities and higher utilization of home equity lines of credit.  Although loan originations in the commercial portfolio have been strong, commercial loan balances were impacted by loan pay-offs from large corporate borrowers.  Table 6 presents the composition of the loan portfolio by major categories and Table 7 presents the composition of consumer loans by geographic area.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s portfolio of residential loans serviced for third parties totaled $2.7 billion, a decrease of $267.7 million and $419.2 million from December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, respectively.  The carrying value of mortgage servicing rights was $20.0 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $2.2 million and $3.3 million from December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, respectively.  Although mortgage prepayments have slowed from 2003, the decline in carrying value of mortgage servicing rights continued to be attributable to mortgage prepayments reflective of the low interest rate environment and decline in saleable production volume.  Depending on loan type, recent prepayment speeds for Hawaii mortgages either approximated or were slightly higher than national averages.

 

Deposits

 

As of September 30, 2004, deposits totaled $7.4 billion, an increase of $80.5 million from December 31, 2003 and $311.1 million from September 30, 2003.  The Company’s deposit growth continued to be primarily in demand and savings deposits, while higher cost time deposits have been reduced.

 

The average time deposits of $100,000 or more is presented in Table 8.

Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

 

Short-term borrowings, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, funds purchased and other short-term borrowings, totaled $764.3 million at September 30, 2004, an increase of $169.8 million from December 31, 2003 and flat with September 30, 2003. The increase in short-term borrowings from December 31, 2003 was due to higher placements received from public (government) entities in the form of securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  Long-term debt, totaled $252.6 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $71.4 million and $71.7 million from December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, respectively.  The decrease was due to a total of $90.0 million of privately placed notes that matured in 2004, $70.0 million of which matured in the third quarter of 2004.  A portion was replaced with a $25.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”) advance.  For additional information, refer to the section on “Corporate Risk Profile – Liquidity Management.”

 

Shareholders’ Equity

 

The Company’s capital position remains strong.  The 5% net reduction in capital from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004 is attributable to the Company’s continuing common stock repurchase program and dividends offset by earnings for the first nine months of 2004.  A further discussion of the Company’s capital is included in the “Corporate Risk Profile – Capital Management” section of this report.

 

Guarantees

 

The Company’s standby letters of credit totaled $130.9 million at September 30, 2004, an increase of $18.9 million and $23.0 million from December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, respectively.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company’s business segments are defined as Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services Group and Treasury and Other Corporate.  The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on the management structure of the Company and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution.  Various techniques are used to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of overhead, the Provision and capital.  This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and subjective factors.  Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The business segments are managed with a focus on performance measures, including risk adjusted return on capital (“RAROC”) and net income after capital charge (“NIACC”).  RAROC is the ratio of net income to risk-adjusted equity. Equity is allocated to each business segment based on an assessment of its inherent risk.  NIACC is net income less a charge for allocated capital.  The cost of capital is determined by multiplying management’s estimate of the shareholder’s minimum required rate of return on capital invested (11% for 2004 and 2003) by the segment’s allocated equity.  The Company assumes a cost of capital that is equal to a risk-free rate plus a risk premium of an equity investment in the Company.  The net interest income of the business segments reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to the Company’s overall asset and liability management activities on a proportionate basis.  The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of management decisions and assumptions that are subject to change based on changes in current interest rate and market conditions.  The Provision recorded in the Retail Banking, Commercial Banking and Investment Services Group segments represents actual net charge-offs of these segments.  The Provision charged to the Treasury and Other Corporate segment primarily represents the change in the level of the Allowance and also includes recoveries from the divested businesses.

 

The financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are discussed below and are presented in Table 9a and Table 9b, respectively.

 

Retail Banking

 

The Company’s Retail Banking segment offers a broad range of financial products and services to consumers and small businesses.  Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases and installment loans.  Deposit products include checking, savings and time deposit accounts.  The Retail Banking segment also provides merchant services to its small business customers.  Products and services from the Retail Banking segment are delivered to customers through 74 Hawaii branch locations and over 500 ATMs, e-Bankoh (on-line banking service) and a 24-hour telephone banking service.  Also included in the segment is Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., a full service brokerage offering equities, mutual funds, life insurance and annuities.

 

Allocated net income, NIACC and RAROC for the Retail Banking segment decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003.  Net interest income declined primarily due to the decrease in the earnings credit from funds transfer pricing on the segment’s deposit account balances, reflective of lower interest rates.  Non-interest income was lower mainly as a result of a decrease in mortgage banking income.    The decrease in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 was mainly due to lower salary expense.  The decrease in non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same prior year period was largely due to lower equipment expenses and no systems replacement costs.  The increase in the economic provision was due to growth in the segment’s automobile and installment loan portfolios.

 

20



 

Commercial Banking

 

The Commercial Banking segment offers products including corporate banking and commercial real estate loans, lease financing, auto dealer financing, deposit and cash management products and property and casualty insurance products.  Lending, deposit and cash management services are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawaii.  Commercial real estate mortgages are focused on customers that include investors, developers and builders primarily domiciled in Hawaii.  The Commercial Banking unit also includes the Company’s operations at 13 branches in the Pacific Islands.

 

The improvement in the segment’s financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003 was primarily a result of an increase in non-interest income resulting from a gain on the sale of assets at the end of a leveraged lease transaction.   In addition, the nine-month period benefited from higher account analysis fees as a result of lower offsetting earnings credit and a leasing partnership investment distribution. These positive trends were offset by the decline in net interest income due to the decrease in the earnings credit from funds transfer pricing on the segment’s deposit account balances reflective of lower interest rates.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same prior year period, non-interest expense declined largely due to lower allocated expenses.

 

Investment Services Group

 

The Investment Services Group includes private banking, trust services, asset management, and institutional investment advice.  A significant portion of this segment’s income is derived from fees, which are generally based on the market values of assets under management.  The private banking and personal trust group assist individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment, credit and trust expertise to high-net-worth individuals.  The asset management group manages portfolios and creates investment products.  Institutional sales and service offers investment advice to corporations, government entities and foundations.

 

The segment’s key financial measures decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003.  In the third quarter of 2004, net interest income increased primarily due to higher deposit balances.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003, non-interest income increased because of an increase in trust and asset management fee income due to an improvement in market conditions and an increase in other income due to the sale of the corporate trust business. These positive trends were offset by increases in both direct and allocated non-interest expense.  The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increased professional fees relating to the Company’s mutual funds.

 

Treasury and Other Corporate

 

The primary income earning component of this segment is Treasury, which consists of corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management and foreign exchange business.  This segment’s assets and liabilities (and related net interest income) consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, federal funds sold and purchased, government deposits and short and long-term borrowings.  The primary source of foreign exchange income relates to customer driven currency requests from merchants and island visitors.  The net residual effect of transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury, along with eliminations of inter-company transactions.

 

21



 

This segment also includes divisions (Technology, Operations, Human Resources, Finance, Credit and Risk Management and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) that provide a wide-range of support to the other income earning segments.  Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process.  Results for this segment in 2003 include the systems replacement costs that were not incurred by or allocated to the Retail, Commercial and Investment Services Group segments.

 

The improvement in the segment’s key financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the same periods in 2003, was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and no systems replacement costs.  The increase in net interest income was due to the impact of the lower cost of funding deposits by the Treasury unit.  This segment’s NIACC was also favorably impacted by a lower capital charge due to the reduction of the Company’s excess capital as a result of the continuing share repurchase activity.

1                   Cross-border outstandings are defined as foreign monetary assets that are payable to the Company in U.S. dollars or other non-local currencies, plus amounts payable in local currency but funded with U.S. dollars or other non-local currencies. Cross-border outstandings include loans, acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments and other monetary assets.

 

2                  Certain 2003 information has been reclassified to conform to 2004 presentation.

 

Because the U.S. dollar is used in the Pacific Island Division locations (Guam and American Samoa, which are U.S. territories, and other nearby islands), these operations are not considered foreign for financial reporting purposes.

 

CORPORATE RISK PROFILE

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit Risk is defined as the risk that borrowers or counterparties will not be able to repay their obligations to the Company.  Credit exposures reflect legally binding commitments for loans, leases, banker’s acceptances, financial and standby letters of credit and overnight overdrafts.

 

Generally, the Company’s asset quality continued to improve during the quarter as evidenced by lower levels of internally criticized loans, non-performing assets and a reduced level of net loan charge-offs.  The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and foreclosed real estate at September 30, 2004 was 0.27%, reduced from 0.55% at December 31, 2003.  Net loan charge-offs (annualized) for the first nine months of 2004 as a percent of average loans outstanding were 0.02%, a decline from 0.25% from the same prior year period, due in large part to a $6.0 million recovery in the second quarter of 2004.  Excluding this recovery, the 2004 year-to-date ratio would have been 0.16%.  For the third quarter 2004, net charge-offs were $0.3 million or 0.02% (annualized) of average loans outstanding, reflecting charge-offs primarily of consumer and small business loans, offset by commercial loan recoveries.

 

The Company’s more favorable credit risk position relative to a year ago reflects a continued strategy that shifted to borrowers and industries believed to have a lower risk profile, reduced large borrower concentrations and an improving U.S. economy.  In addition, ongoing portfolio management is intended to result in early identification and disengagement from deteriorating credits.  Despite record-high oil prices, overall risk in the portfolio of Hawaii-based loans also continues to improve, primarily due to a local economy that remains satisfactory with some positive trends in real economic measures.

 

25



 

Although the overall credit risk profile continued to improve, the domestic legacy airline carriers have a higher risk profile with current negative trends.  Outstandings to legacy carriers as of September 30, 2004 were $19.0 million and are included in the United States National Passenger Carriers total, as shown on Table 11 below.  Record-high oil prices are having a pronounced impact on already struggling domestic legacy airline carriers, who have a less competitive business model in the current environment.  In the evaluation of the Allowance, the Company considered the current financial strain on airlines which offset the impact of the improvement in other components of the loan portfolio.  Concentration of credit exposure to selected components of the portfolio is included in Table 11.

Exposure includes loans, leveraged leases and operating leases.

 


1          For three borrowers, reclassifications occurred between Regional and National Carriers.  Syndicated Exposure was restated.

2          Other Large Borrowers is defined as exposure with commitments of $25.0 million and greater, excluding those collateralized by cash and those separately identified as Air Transportation, Guam and Syndicated Exposure.

 

In Guam, which is sensitive to tourism and military spending, economic indicators are trending upward although some uncertainty continues to exist.  Tourism has rebounded to pre-September 11, 2001 levels and the announced increases in military spending and presence are encouraging.  As of September 30, 2004, internally classified exposure was reduced by 29% from December 31, 2003.  This reduction was achieved through strategic reduction and some borrower improvement.  Targeted lending to select commercial borrowers is active, while the consumer lending business is leading the portfolio growth.

 

Two of the Company’s top ten syndicated loan outstandings (totaling $60.1 million) as of June 30, 2004 were paid off during the third quarter, reducing concentrations in large borrowers.  At September 30, 2004, the Company’s largest syndicated loan outstanding totaled $21.0 million for a new hotel construction on the island of Maui and the second largest syndicated loan outstanding totaled $17.1 million to a local residential real estate builder.  The ten largest syndicated loans outstanding at September 30, 2004 totaled $118.8 million or 64% of total syndicated loans.  Of this amount, 66% reflected loans to major borrowers with operations in Hawaii of which 63% was in the real estate sector.  No syndicated outstandings were internally classified.

 

The Company’s other large borrowers include six exposures of $25.0 million and greater.  The borrowers are major companies, most with Hawaii operations.  Three exposures are commercial paper backup lines to investment grade companies and are undrawn. The remaining three exposures have their loans collateralized by real estate and other assets and are substantially funded.

 

26



 

Non-Performing Assets

 

Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) consist of non-accrual loans and foreclosed real estate.  NPAs decreased by $15.7 million or 50% from December 31, 2003 to $16.0 million as of September 30, 2004, primarily due to the partial charge-off and disengagement of a Hawaii business, a loan pay-off in Guam, the transfer of a Company occupied foreclosed real estate property to premises.

 

NPAs in Guam as of September 30, 2004 were $8.4 million, a decrease of $4.3 million or 34% from December 31, 2003.  The improvement reflects a loan pay-off and positive resolutions in residential mortgages.  One real estate secured borrower represented 64% of Guam’s total NPAs.

 

Impaired loans totaled $6.9 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $9.1 million or 57% from $16.0 million at December 31, 2003.  These loans had a related Allowance that totaled $0.6 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.3 million from December 31, 2003.

 

Loans Past Due 90 Days or More and Still Accruing Interest

 

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were $5.0 million at September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.5 million from
December 31, 2003.  The increase was due to an increase in past due residential mortgage loans and personal unsecured lines of credit, partially offset by positive resolutions of prior period amounts.  Loss rates on residential mortgage loans in the Hawaii portfolio continue to be negligible.

 

Refer to Table 12 for further information on non-performing assets.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The Company maintains an Allowance adequate to cover management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in its lending portfolios based on a comprehensive quarterly analysis of historical loss experience supplemented by judgmental expectations of portfolio performance and economic conditions as of a given balance sheet date.

 

The Allowance at September 30, 2004 decreased by $4.4 million from December 31, 2003, reflecting the combination of a $3.5 million negative Provision in the second quarter and net loan charge-offs totaling $0.9 million.  The reduction in the Allowance was based on improvement in credit quality and ongoing assessments of economic conditions and risk. The ratio of the Allowance to total loans and leases outstanding decreased 10 basis points from 2.24% at December 31, 2003 due to the decrease in the Allowance and to an increase in average loans outstanding.  A summary of the Allowance is presented in Table 13.

 

The $0.3 million reduction in the Allowance from the prior quarter is equal to net loan charge-offs, as no provision was recorded.  Loan charge-offs in the third quarter of 2004 of $5.0 million were partially offset by recoveries of $4.7 million.

Market Risk

 

Market risk is the potential of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and prices.  The Company is exposed to market risk as a consequence of the normal course of conducting its business activities.  Financial products that expose the Company to market risk include investment securities, loans, deposits, debt and derivative financial instruments.  The Company’s market risk management process involves measuring, monitoring, controlling and managing risks that can significantly impact the Company’s financial position and operating results.  In this management process, market risks are balanced with expected returns in an effort to enhance earnings performance and shareholder value, while limiting the volatility of each.  The activities associated with these market risks are categorized into “trading” and “other than trading.”

 

The Company’s trading activities include foreign currency and foreign exchange contracts that expose the Company to a minor degree of foreign currency risk.  These transactions are primarily executed on behalf of customers and at times for the Company’s own account.

 

The Company’s “other than trading” activities include normal business transactions that expose the Company’s balance sheet profile to varying degrees of market risk.

The Company’s balance sheet is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates.  This interest rate risk arises primarily from the Company’s normal business activities of making loans and taking deposits.  Many other factors also affect the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences and historical pricing relationships.

 

Table 14 presents, as of September 30, 2004, December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, the estimate of the change in net interest income (“NII”) that would result from a gradual 200 basis point decrease or increase in interest rates, moving in parallel fashion over the entire yield curve, over the next 12-month period, relative to the measured base case scenario for NII.  The 200 basis point increase would equate to an average increase of $2.2 million increase in NII per quarter.  The Company’s balance sheet continues to be asset-sensitive.

In managing interest rate risk, the Company uses several approaches to modify its risk position.  Approaches that are used in an effort to shift balance sheet mix or alter the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities include changing product pricing strategies, modifying investment portfolio characteristics, or using financial derivative instruments.  The use of financial derivatives has been limited over the past several years.

 

Liquidity Management

 

Liquidity is managed in an effort to ensure that the Company has continuous access to sufficient, reasonably priced funding to conduct its business in a normal manner.

 

30



 

The Bank is a member of the FHLB, which provides an additional source of short-and long-term funding.  Outstanding borrowings from the FHLB were $87.5 million at September 30, 2004, compared to $68.5 million at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003.  The increase from 2003 was from an additional $25.0 million advance that bears a 3.2% interest rate and matures in 2007.

 

Additionally, the Bank maintains a $1 billion senior and subordinated bank note program.  Under this facility, the Bank may issue additional notes provided that the aggregate amount outstanding does not exceed $1 billion.  Subordinated notes outstanding under this bank note program totaled $124.7 million at September 30, 2004, December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003.

 

Capital Management

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The Company’s objective is to hold sufficient capital on a regulatory basis to exceed the minimum guidelines of a “well-capitalized” financial institution, while over the long term optimize shareholder value, support asset growth, reflect risks inherent in its markets, provide protection against unforeseen losses and comply with regulatory requirements.

 

At September 30, 2004, shareholders’ equity totaled $756.7 million, a 5% net decrease from December 31, 2003.  The decrease in shareholders’ equity during the first nine months of 2004 was primarily attributable to the Company’s repurchase of its common stock under the repurchase program and dividends, offset by earnings.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, 4.1 million shares of common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $44.54 per share, totaling $182.1 million.  From the beginning of the share repurchase program in July 2001 through September 30, 2004, the Company repurchased a total of 33.9 million shares and returned a total of $1,037.1 million to shareholders at an average cost of $30.59 per share.  From October 1, 2004 through October 22, 2004, the Company repurchased an additional 80,000 shares of common stock at an average cost of $49.11 per share for a total of $3.9 million, resulting in remaining buyback authority under the existing repurchase program of $108.9 million.

 

In October 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.33 per share on the Company’s outstanding shares.  The dividend will be payable on December 14, 2004 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2004.

Economic Outlook

 

Hawaii’s economy continued to expand during the third quarter of 2004.  Tourism remains strong and is on track to establish 2004 as a record year in terms of total visitors.  Hawaii’s unemployment rate fell below 3%, the lowest in the country, as job growth continued in excess of 2%.  Real estate transactions and valuations continued to increase and military housing privatization initiatives are expected to augment private construction growth, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004.  These trends are expected to drive capital spending forward for several more years.  A rise in core inflation in the Honolulu consumer price index (CPI) from around 1.5% to 3% during the first half of 2004 may indicate the state economy is approaching full employment.  However, Hawaii’s real personal income growth remains stable at 2% to 3% in 2004, as it has since 1997.

 

Earnings Outlook

 

The Company currently anticipates net income for the full year of 2004 will be approximately $166 million to $168 million.  Based on present conditions, the Company does not expect to record a Provision during the fourth quarter of 2004.  However, the actual amount of the Provision depends on determinations of credit risk that are made near the end of each quarter.  Earnings per share and return on average equity projections continue to be dependent upon the terms and timing of share repurchases.

 

Item 3.            Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk

 

See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations-Market Risk.

 

Item 4.            Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2004.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2004.  There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Bank of Hawaii Corporation
Key Executive
Change-in-Control Severance Agreement

 

Article 1.       Establishment and Purpose

 

1.1         Effective Date.   This Executive Change-in-Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement) is made and entered into pursuant to Bank of Hawaii Corporation’s Key Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”), and is effective as of this 25th day of June, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Bank of Hawaii Corporation (“BOHC”), a Delaware corporation, and Richard C. Keene, an executive (the “Executive”) of BOHC and its subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”).  This Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior severance agreement entered into between BOHC and the Executive.

 

1.2         Term of the Agreement.   The Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date written above, and shall continue until the Board of Directors of BOHC (the “Board”) determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that the Executive is no longer to be included in the Plan and so notifies in writing the Executive during the term of this Agreement of such determination.

 

Provided, however, in the event that a Change in Control of BOHC, as defined in Section 2.1 herein, occurs during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain irrevocably in effect for the greater of twenty-four (24) months from the date of such Change in Control, or until all benefits have been paid to the Executive hereunder.

 

Further, in the event that the Board has knowledge that a third party has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control of BOHC, including, but not limited to, the commencement of a tender offer for the voting stock of BOHC, or the circulation of a proxy to BOHC’s shareholders, then this Agreement shall remain irrevocably in effect until the Board, in good faith, determines that such third party has fully abandoned or terminated its effort to effect a Change in Control of BOHC.

 

1.3         Purpose of the Agreement.   The purpose of this Agreement pursuant to the Plan, is to advance the interests of BOHC and the Bank by assuring that BOHC and the Bank will have the continued employment and dedication of the Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel in the event that an acquisition or Change in Control of BOHC occurs.  This Agreement shall also assure the Executive of equitable treatment during the period of uncertainty that surrounds an acquisition or Change in Control, and allow the Executive to act at all times in the best interests of BOHC and its shareholders.

 

1.4         Contractual Right to Benefits.   This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits which he or she is entitled hereunder, enforceable by

 

3



 

the Executive against BOHC.  However, nothing herein shall require BOHC to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets to provide for any payments hereunder.

 

This Agreement shall be considered an unfunded agreement to provide benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and is therefore intended to be a “top-hat” plan exempt from the requirements of the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

2.3          Severability.   In the event any provision of the Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

 

2.4         Modification.   No express provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to by the Executive in writing and approved by the Human Resources  and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

2.5         Applicable Law.   To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Hawaii shall be the controlling law in all matters relating to the Agreement.

 

Article 3.       Severance Benefits

3.2         Description of Severance Benefits.   In the event that an Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Section 3.1 herein, BOHC shall pay to the Executive and provide the Executive with the following:

 

(a)           An amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s highest annual Base

 

6



 

Salary earned (i) at any time during the three (3) complete fiscal years immediately preceding the Effective Date of Termination, or (ii) if the Executive was not employed during such time period, at any time thereafter; and

 

(b)           An amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s highest annual bonus earned under the annual incentive plan (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means the One-Year Incentive Plan, or Key Contributor Incentive Plan, or any successsor or alternative plan or arrangement providing for an annual incentive bonus) during the three (3) complete fiscal years prior to the Effective Date of Termination, or, if shorter, over the Executive’s entire period of employment.  However, if the Executive’s period of employment is less than one year, the bonus shall be considered zero (0); and

 

(c)           An amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s highest annual incentive compensation earned under the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Profit Sharing Plan, the Sustained Profit Growth Plan or any successsor or alternative plan or arrangement providing for a long-term incentive bonus, or any successor plans thereto over the three (3) complete fiscal years prior to the Effective Date of Termination, or, if shorter, over the Executive’s entire period of employment.  However, if the Executive’s period of employment is less than one year, the average incentive compensation shall be considered zero (0); and

 

(d)           An amount equal to the excess of (i) the maximum payment the Executive would have received under the annual incentive plan if he had continued in the employment of BOHC and the Bank through the end of the performance period following the Effective Date of Termination, and if the Bank had met its maximum performance goals as provided under the terms of the Plan and the maximum amount payable to the Executive had been paid, over (ii) the actual payout under the annual incentive plan resulting from the Executive’s termination of employment; and

 

(e)           A payout under the long-term incentive plan, in accordance with the terms of such plan; and

 

(f)            A continuation of all welfare benefits at no direct cost to the Executive,  including medical insurance, long-term disability, and group term life insurance for three (3) full years from the Effective Date of Termination or until the Executive reaches his Normal Retirement Date, whichever occurs earlier.

 

3.3         Reduction of Severance Benefits.   In the event there are fewer than thirty-six (36) whole or partial months remaining from the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, as defined under the Retirement Plan, then the amounts provided for under Sections 3.2(a), (b), and (c) above shall be reduced by a fraction, the

 

7



 

numerator of which shall be the number of whole or partial months remaining until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, and the denominator of which shall be thirty-six (36).

 

3.4         Fringe Benefits.   The Executive’s participation in fringe benefits prior to the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination shall be continued, or equivalent benefits shall be provided, at no cost to the Executive, for a period of three (3) years from the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination (or until he or she reaches his Normal Retirement Date, whichever occurs earlier).

 

3.5         Relocation Benefits.  Should the Executive move his residence in order to pursue other business opportunities within two (2) years of Executive’s Effective Date of Termination, the Executive shall be reimbursed for any moving expenses (as defined in Section 217(b) of the Code) incurred in that relocation (including taxes, if any, payable on the reimbursement) which are not reimbursed by another employer.  Benefits provided herein shall not exceed the assistance and benefits customarily provided by BOHC to transferred employees prior to the Change in Control.

 

3.6         Incentive Compensation.  Any deferred awards previously granted to the Executive under BOHC’s incentive compensation plans and not previously paid to the Executive, shall immediately vest on the date of the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination and shall be paid no later than ninety (90) calendar days following that date, and be included as compensation in the month paid.

 

3.8         Stock Options and SARs.   Stock options (“options”),stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted shares, if any, granted to the Executive by BOHC will be exercisable or payable pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans.

 

Article 4.       Just Cause

 

4.1         Just Cause.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent BOHC or the Bank from terminating an Executive’s employment for Just Cause.  In such case, no Severance Benefits shall be payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

 

Just Cause shall mean the criminal conviction of the Executive for an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or any other act constituting a felony.

 

The determination that the Executive’s actions constitute Just Cause for termination shall be made by the Board, acting in good faith.

 

Article 5.       Form and Timing of Severance Benefits

 

5.1         Form and Timing of Severance Benefits.  The Severance Benefits described in Sections 3.2 (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum

 

8



 

as soon as practicable following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond ninety (90) calendar days from such date.

 

The Severance Benefits described in Section 3.2(f) and 3.5 herein shall be provided by BOHC to the Executive immediately upon the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination and shall continue to be provided for three (3) full calendar years from the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination or until the Executive reaches his or her Normal Retirement date, whichever occurs earlier.

 

5.2         Withholding of Taxes.   BOHC shall withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all Federal, state, city, or other taxes as legally shall be required.

 

Article 6.       Parachute Payments

 

6.1         Excise Tax Cap.   In the event that a Change in Control of BOHC shall occur and a determination is made by BOHC, pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code (and corresponding state law provisions) that a golden parachute excise tax is due, the Executive’s Severance Benefits under this Plan shall be grossed up for the amount equal to and only equal to the amount necessary to pay the excise tax.

 

6.2         Subsequent Recalculation.  In the event the Internal Revenue Service adjusts the excise tax computation of BOHC, as provided in Section 6.1 herein, such that the Executive is liable for the payment of a greater excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, or such that the Executive does not receive the full benefit that he or she would have received, BOHC shall reimburse the Executive for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole (less any amounts received by the Executive that he or she would not have received had the computation initially been computed as subsequently adjusted), including the value of the excise tax and all corresponding interest and penalties due to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Article 7.       Other Rights and Benefits Not Affected

 

7.1         Other Benefits.   Neither the provisions of this Agreement nor the Severance Benefits provided for hereunder shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s rights as an employee of BOHC, whether existing now or hereafter, under any benefit, incentive, retirement, stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase plan, or any employment agreement, or other plan or arrangement.

 

7.2         Employment Status.   This Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Executive or BOHC any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee, to change the status of the Executive’s employment, or to change BOHC’s policies regarding termination of employment.

Article 8.       Successors

 

8.1         Successors.   BOHC will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of BOHC or of any division or subsidiary thereof to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that BOHC would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of BOHC to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from BOHC in the same amount and on the same terms as they would be entitled hereunder if terminated voluntarily following a Change in Control.  Except for the purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Effective Date of Termination.

 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.  If an Executive should die while any amount would still be payable hereunder had the Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

 

8.2         Beneficiaries.   The beneficiary of the Executive under the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Money Purchase Plan shall be the beneficiary of the Executive’s benefits under this Agreement, unless a beneficiary is otherwise designated by the Executive in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Committee.  An Executive may make or change such designation at any time.

 

Article 9.       Administration

 

9.1         Administration.   This Agreement shall be administered by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Committee is authorized to interpret this Agreement, to prescribe and rescind rules and regulations, to provide conditions and assurances deemed necessary and advisable, to protect the interests of BOHC, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Agreement’s administration.

 

In fulfilling its administrative duties hereunder, the Committee may rely on outside counsel, independent accountants, or other consultants to render advice or assistance.

 

9.2         Indemnification and Exculpation.   The members of the Board, its agents and officers, directors, and employees of BOHC and its affiliates shall be indemnified and held harmless by BOHC against and from any and all loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which they may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with BOHC’s written approval) or paid by them in

 

10



 

satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding.  The foregoing provision shall not be applicable to any person if the loss, cost, liability, or expense is due to such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Article 10.     Legal Fees

 

10.1      Legal Fees and Expenses.  BOHC shall pay all reasonable legal fees, costs of litigation, and other expenses incurred in good faith by the Executive as a result of BOHC’s refusal to provide the Severance Benefits to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or as a result of BOHC’s contesting the validity, enforceability, or interpretation of the Agreement.  Provided, however, that such payments shall not exceed the amount permitted by law and BOHC’s Restated Articles of Incorporation.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, BOHC has caused this Agreement to be executed by a resolution of the Board of Directors, as of the day and year first above written.

Bank of Hawaii Corporation

Executive Change-in-Control Severance Agreement

 

Article 1.               Establishment and Purpose

 

1.1          Effective Date.   This Executive Change-in-Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement) is made and entered into pursuant to Bank of Hawaii Corporation’s Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”), and is effective as of this 25th  day of June, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Bank of Hawaii Corporation (“BOHC”), a Delaware corporation, and Brian T. Stewart, an executive (the “Executive”) of its subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”).  This Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior severance agreement entered into between the Bank and the Executive.

 

1.2          Term of the Agreement.   The Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date written above, and shall continue until the Board of Directors of BOHC (the “Board”) determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that the Executive is no longer to be included in the Plan and so notifies in writing the Executive during the term of this Agreement of such determination.

 

Provided, however, in the event that a Change in Control of BOHC, as defined in Section 2.1 herein, occurs during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain irrevocably in effect for the greater of twenty-four (24) months from the date of such Change in Control, or until all benefits have been paid to the Executive hereunder.

 

Further, in the event that the Board has knowledge that a third party has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control of BOHC, including, but not limited to, the commencement of a tender offer for the voting stock of BOHC, or the circulation of a proxy to BOHC’s shareholders, then this Agreement shall remain irrevocably in effect until the Board, in good faith, determines that such third party has fully abandoned or terminated its effort to effect a Change in Control of BOHC.

 

1.3          Purpose of the Agreement.   The purpose of this Agreement pursuant to the Plan is to advance the interests of BOHC and the Bank by assuring that BOHC and the Bank will have the continued employment and dedication of the Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel in the event that an acquisition or Change in Control of BOHC occurs.  This Agreement shall also assure the Executive of equitable treatment during the period of uncertainty that surrounds an acquisition or Change in Control, and allow the Executive to act at all times in the best interests of BOHC and its shareholders.

 

3



 

1.4          Contractual Right to Benefits.   This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits which he or she is entitled hereunder, enforceable by the Executive against BOHC.  However, nothing herein shall require BOHC to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets to provide for any payments hereunder.

 

This Agreement shall be considered an unfunded agreement to provide benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and is therefore intended to be a “top-hat” plan exempt from the requirements of the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

2.4          Modification.   No express provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to by the Executive in writing and approved by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

2.5          Applicable Law.   To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Hawaii shall be the controlling law in all matters relating to the Agreement without regard to the conflicts of law principles in such laws.

3.1          Right to Severance Benefits.   The Executive shall be entitled to receive from BOHC Severance Benefits as described in Section 3.4 herein, if there has been a Change in Control of BOHC, as defined in Section 2.1(e) herein, and if, within twenty-four (24) months thereafter, the Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end for any reason specified in Section 3.2 herein as being a Qualifying Termination.  An Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if the Executive’s employment with the Bank ends due to an involuntary termination by the Bank for Just Cause, as provided under Article 4 herein, or if the

 

6



 

Executive’s employment terminates due to death, Disability, or voluntary employment termination on or after Normal Retirement Date.

 

3.2          Qualifying Termination.   The occurrence of any one or more of the following events within twenty-four (24) calendar months after a Change in Control of BOHC shall trigger the payment of Severance Benefits to the Executive, as provided under Section 3.4 herein:

 

(a)           The Bank’s involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment without Just Cause;

 

(b)           The Executive’s voluntary employment termination for Good Reason, as defined by Section 3.3 herein;

 

(c)           A successor company fails or refuses to assume BOHC’s obligations under this Agreement in their entirety, as required by Article 8 herein; or

 

(d)           BOHC, or any successor company, commits a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

3.3          Definition of Good Reason.   “Good Reason” means, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence after a Change in Control of BOHC of any one or more of the following:

 

(a)           The assignment of the Executive to duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s authorities, duties, responsibilities, and status (including offices, titles, and reporting requirements) as an executive and/or officer of BOHC or the Bank, or a material reduction of the Executive’s authorities, duties, or responsibilities from those in effect as of ninety (90) days prior to the Change in Control, other than an act that is remedied by BOHC or the Bank promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

 

(b)           The Bank requiring the Executive to be based at a location in excess of seventy-five (75) miles from the location of the Executive’s principal job location or office immediately prior to the Change in Control; except for required travel on Bank business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s then present business travel obligations;

 

(c)           A reduction by the Bank of the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect as of ninety (90) days prior to the Change in Control;

 

(d)           The failure of BOHC or the Bank to continue in effect any of BOHC’s or the Bank’s annual and long-term incentive compensation plans, or employee benefit or retirement plans, policies, practices, or other compensation arrangements in which the Executive participates as in

 

7



 

effect prior to the Change in Control, unless such failure to continue the plan, policy, practice, or arrangement pertains to all plan participants generally; or the failure by BOHC or the Bank to continue the Executive’s participation therein on substantially the same basis, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of the Executive’s participation relative to other participants and commensurate with the Executive’s responsibility and duties; and

 

(e)           The failure of BOHC or the Bank to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to BOHC to assume and agree to perform BOHC’s obligations under this Agreement, as contemplated in Article 8 herein.

(a)           An amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect upon the Effective Date of Termination; and

 

(b)           An amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s target bonus under the annual incentive plan (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means the One-Year Incentive Plan, or Key Contributor Incentive Plan, or any successor or alternative plan or arrangement providing for an annual incentive bonus) for the fiscal year prior to the Effective Date of Termination.  If the Executive’s period of employment is less than one year, the bonus shall be considered zero (0) however, the “Completion Bonus” stipulated in the offer of employment letter will be paid, and

 

(c)           A payout under the annual incentive plan, in accordance with the terms of such plan; and

 

(d)           A payout under the long-term incentive plan, in accordance with the terms of such plan; and

 

(e)           A continuation of all welfare benefits at normal employee cost including medical insurance, long-term disability, and group term life insurance for two (2) full years from the Effective Date of Termination or until the Executive reaches his Normal Retirement Date, whichever occurs earlier.  However, these benefits will be discontinued prior to the end of the two (2) years in the event the Executive receives substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer, as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.

 

3.5          Reduction of Severance Benefits.   In the event there are fewer than twenty-four (24) whole or partial months remaining from the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, then the amounts provided for under Sections 3.4(a),

 

8

3.6          Outplacement Services.   In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits as provided in Section 3.1 herein, the Executive shall be entitled, at the expense of BOHC, to receive standard outplacement services from a nationally recognized outplacement firm as selected by the Executive, for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date of Termination.  However, such services shall not exceed a maximum annual benefit of ten percent (10%) of the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary as of the Effective Date of Termination.

 

3.7          Incentive Compensation.  In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits as provided in Section 3.1 herein, any deferred awards previously granted to the Executive under the annual incentive plan and long-term incentive plan, and not previously paid to the Executive, shall immediately vest on the date of the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination and shall be paid no later than ninety (90) calendar days following that date, and be included as compensation in the month paid.

 

3.8          Stock Options and SARs.   Stock options (“options”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted shares, if any, granted to the Executive by BOHC will be exercisable or payable pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans.

 

Article 4.               Disqualification From Receipt of Benefits

 

No Severance Benefits shall be payable to the Executive under this Agreement in the event the Executive is terminated by the Bank for Just Cause.

 

For this purpose, Just Cause shall mean willful, malicious conduct by the Executive which is detrimental to the best interests of BOHC including theft, embezzlement, the conviction of a criminal act, disclosure of trade secrets, a gross dereliction of duty, or other grave misconduct on the part of the Executive which is substantially injurious to BOHC or the Bank.  Just Cause also shall include the failure of the Executive to perform any and all covenants under this Agreement.

 

Article 5.               Form and Timing of Severance Benefits

 

5.1          Form and Timing of Severance Benefits.  The Severance Benefits described in Sections 3.4(a), (b), (c) and (d) herein, shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond ninety (90) calendar days from such date.

 

9



 

The Severance Benefits described in Section 3.4(e) herein shall be provided by BOHC to the Executive immediately upon the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination and shall continue to be provided for two (2) full calendar years from the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination or until the Executive reaches his Normal Retirement date, whichever occurs earlier.  However, the Severance Benefits described in Section 3.4(e) herein shall be discontinued prior to the end of the two (2) year period immediately upon the Executive receiving substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer, as determined by the Committee.

 

5.2          Withholding of Taxes.   BOHC shall withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all Federal, state, city, or other taxes as legally shall be required.

 

Article 6.               Parachute Payments

 

6.1          Determination of Alternative Severance Benefit Limit.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any portion of the Severance Benefits or any other payment under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with, or plan of BOHC (in the aggregate “Total Payments”) would constitute an “excess parachute payment”, then the payments to be made to the Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the Executive is entitled to receive shall be one dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount which the Executive may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or which BOHC may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code.  However, such reduction in Severance Benefits shall apply if, and only if, the resulting Severance Benefits with such reduction is greater in value to the Executive than the value of the Severance Benefits without a reduction, net of any tax imposed on the Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “excess parachute payment” and “parachute payments” shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 280G of the Code, and such “parachute payments” shall be valued as provided therein.

 

6.2          Procedure for Establishing Alternative Limitation.   Within fifteen (15) calendar days following delivery of the notice of Qualifying Termination or notice by BOHC to the Executive of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Executive which will result in an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, the Executive and BOHC, at BOHC’s expense, shall obtain the opinion of BOHC’s principal outside law firm, accounting firm, and/or compensation and benefits consulting firm, which sets forth:  (i) the amount of the Executive’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” [as defined in Code Section 280G(d)(1)]; (ii) the present value of the Total Payments; and (iii) the amount and present value of any “excess parachute payment”.

 

In the event that such opinion determines that there would be an “excess parachute payment”, such that a reduction in the Severance Benefits would result in a greater net benefit to the Executive (as provided in Section 6.1 herein), then the Severance Benefits hereunder or any other payment determined under the opinion to be includible in Total Payments shall be reduced

 

10



 

or eliminated so that, on the basis of calculations set forth in such opinion, there will be no “excess parachute payment”.

 

The reduction or elimination of specific payments shall apply to such type and amount of specific payments as may be designated by the Executive in writing delivered to BOHC within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the opinion, or, if the Executive fails to so notify BOHC, as may be reasonably determined by BOHC.

 

The provisions of this Section 6.2, including the calculations, notices, and opinion provided for herein, shall be based upon the conclusive presumption that the following amounts are reasonable:  (i) the compensation and benefits provided for in Article 3 herein; and (ii) any other compensation earned prior to the Effective Date of Termination by the Executive pursuant to BOHC’s compensation programs (if such payments would have been made in the future in any event, even though the timing of such payment is triggered by the Change in Control).

 

6.3          Subsequent Imposition of Excise Tax.   If, notwithstanding compliance with the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 herein, it is ultimately determined by a court or pursuant to a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any portion of the Total Payments is considered to be a “parachute payment”, subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, which was not contemplated to be a “parachute payment” at the time of payment (so as to accurately determine whether a limitation should have been applied to the Total Payments to maximize the net benefit to the Executive, as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 herein), the Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment sufficient to place the Executive in the same net after-tax position, computed by using the “Special Tax Rate” as such term is defined below, that the Executive would have been in had such payment not been subject to such excise tax, and had the Executive not incurred any interest charges or penalties with respect to the imposition of such excise tax.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Special Tax Rate” shall be the highest effective Federal and state marginal tax rates applicable to the Executive in the year in which the payment contemplated under the Section 6.3 is made.

 

Article 7.               Other Rights and Benefits Not Affected

 

7.1          Other Benefits.   Neither the provisions of this Agreement nor the Severance Benefits provided for hereunder shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s rights as an employee of BOHC, whether existing now or hereafter, under any benefit, incentive, retirement, stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase plan, or any employment agreement, or other plan or arrangement.

 

7.2          Employment Status.   This Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Bank or BOHC any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee, to change the status of the Executive’s employment, or to change BOHC’s policies regarding termination of employment.  The Executive serves as an employee of the Bank and this Agreement shall not create an employment relationship between BOHC and the Executive.

 

11



 

Article 8.               Successors

 

8.1          Successors.   BOHC will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of BOHC or of any division or subsidiary thereof to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that BOHC would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of BOHC to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from BOHC in the same amount and on the same terms as they would be entitled hereunder if terminated voluntarily following a Change in Control.  Except for the purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Effective Date of Termination.

 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.  If an Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

 

8.2          Beneficiaries.   The beneficiary of the Executive’s Severance Benefits under this Agreement shall be designated by the Executive in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Committee.  An Executive may make or change such designation at any time.

 

Article 9.               Administration

 

9.1          Administration.   This Agreement shall be administered by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Committee is authorized to interpret this Agreement, to prescribe and rescind rules and regulations, to provide conditions and assurances deemed necessary and advisable, to protect the interests of BOHC, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Agreement’s administration.

 

In fulfilling its administrative duties hereunder, the Committee may rely on outside counsel, independent accountants, or other consultants to render advice or assistance.

 

9.2          Indemnification and Exculpation.   The members of the Board, its agents and officers, directors, and employees of BOHC and its affiliates shall be indemnified and held harmless by BOHC against and from any and all loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which they may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with BOHC’s written approval) or paid by them in

 

12
