FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HONOLULU, HI (October 26, 2026) -- Bank of Hawai‘i Corporation (NYSE: BOH) (the “Company”) today reported diluted earnings per common share of $1.49 for the third quarter of 2026, compared with $1.47 during the linked quarter. Net income for the quarter was $64.3 million, up 0.7% from the linked quarter. The return on average common equity for the third quarter of 2026 was 15.38% compared with 15.47% during the linked quarter.

“Bank of Hawai‘i delivered another quarter of solid performance, supported by continued expense discipline,” said Jim Polk, President and CEO. “Net interest margin expanded for the tenth consecutive quarter, reflecting the ongoing benefit of asset repricing and the positive impact of deposit repricing actions. Loan balances increased from the prior quarter, our funding profile remained resilient, and credit quality stayed healthy. We remain focused on enhancing earnings while maintaining the financial strength and resilience that differentiate our franchise. ”

Financial Highlights

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $156.1 million, an increase of 1.6% from the linked quarter. The increase was primarily driven by a 5-basis point increase in earning asset yield as fixed-rate assets rolled off and were reinvested at higher rates (fixed asset repricing). The benefits were partially offset by a shift from noninterest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits yielding less than 10 basis points to higher yielding interest-bearing deposits accounts (deposit mix shift).

Net interest margin was 2.82% in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 4 basis points from the linked quarter, reflecting the same asset yield and deposit cost dynamics as previously mentioned.

The average yield on total earning assets was 4.13% and the average yield on loans and leases was 4.82% in the third quarter of 2026, up 5 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively, from the linked quarter. The increase in loan yield from the linked quarter was primarily driven by fixed asset repricing and additional loan production at higher current rates. Loan originations, including floating rate loans, during the quarter were originated at a weighted average rate of 5.89%.

The average quarterly rate of interest-bearing deposits was 1.72% and the average quarterly rate of total deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.27%, down 1 basis point and unchanged, respectively, from the linked quarter.

Noninterest income was $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of 1.4% from the linked quarter. Noninterest income included a $0.6 million and a $0.4 million charge related to a Visa Class B share conversion ratio change in the third quarter of 2026 and linked quarter, respectively. Adjusted for these items, noninterest income for the third quarter of 2026 was down 0.9% from the linked quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower gains on leased asset sales and seasonally higher trust-related tax services revenue in the linked quarter, partially offset by stronger deposit fees.

Noninterest expense was $112.3 million in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 1.0% from the linked quarter. Noninterest expense in the linked quarter included a $0.5 million net benefit related to the forfeiture of restricted stock awards.

The increase was primarily due to higher net equipment and net occupancy expenses.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 was 23.24% compared to 22.31% during the linked quarter. The higher effective tax rate in the current quarter as compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase in valuation allowance related to low-income housing investments.
