Bank of Hawaii Corporation BOH reported third-quarter 2025 earnings per share (EPS) of $1.20, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.13. The bottom line compared favorably with 93 cents in the year-ago quarter.
BOH’s results benefited from the increase in net interest income (NII) and strong fee income growth. Also, higher loan and deposit balances, along with lower provisions, were encouraging. However, an increase in expenses acted as a key spoilsport.
The company’s net income (GAAP basis) came in at $53.3 million, up 32.2% year over year.
BOH’s quarterly revenues increased 12.2% year over year to $182.6 million. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.7%.
NII was $136.7 million, up 16.2% year over year. NIM increased 28 basis points to 2.46%. Our estimate for NII and NIM was pegged at $126.4 million and 2.49%, respectively.
Non-interest income came in at $45.9 million, up 1.9% year over year. This included a $0.8 million charge incurred in connection with a change in the Visa Class B conversion ratio. Adjusted for these items, non-interest income increased 3.4% year over year. This rise was primarily driven by an increase in fees, exchange and other service charges, higher trust and asset management, service charges on deposit accounts, bank-owned life insurance income, and other income. Our estimate for the metric was pinned at $44.5 million.
Non-interest expenses rose 4.9% year over year to $112.4 million. It included a severance-related charge of $2.1 million. Adjusted for these items, non-interest expense increased 3% from adjusted non-interest expenses recorded in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, partially offset by lower professional fees. Our estimate for the metric was pinned at $107.9 million.
The efficiency ratio was 61.53%, down from 65.81% in the year-ago period. A fall in the efficiency ratio reflects increased profitability.
As of Sept. 30, 2025, total loans and leases increased slightly from the prior-quarter end to $14 billion. Our estimate for total loans and leases was $11.9 billion.
Total deposits moved up 1.3% on a sequential basis to $21.1 billion. Our estimate for total deposits was $18.9 billion.
As of Sept. 30, 2025, non-performing assets were $16.9 million, which declined 14.7% year over year. Our estimate for the metric was $21.3 million.
Net loans and lease charge-offs were $2.6 million, down $1.2 million from the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for the metric was $2.3 million.
Provision for credit losses was $2.5 million, down 16.7% from the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for the metric was $3.4 million.
The allowance for credit losses rose marginally to $148.8 million. Our estimate for the metric was $149.7 million.
As of Sept. 30, 2025, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.34%, up from 14.05% as of Sept. 30, 2024. The total capital ratio was 15.40%, which rose from 15.11% in the year-ago period.
The ratio of tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets was 9.95%, which increased from 9.17% at the end of the year-ago quarter.
Return on average assets was 0.88% at the end of the third quarter of 2025, which increased from 0.69% in the prior-year quarter. Return on average shareholders' equity was 12.10%, up from 9.90% as of Sept. 30, 2024.
In the reported quarter, Bank of Hawaii did not repurchase any shares. As of Sept. 30, 2025, the total remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program was $126 million.
A rise in NII and fee income will support top-line growth. A solid capital position was another positive. Further, higher loan and deposit balances strengthen its balance sheet. However, rising expenses continue to weigh on overall performance.
