Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE:CPF) (the "Company"), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank" or "CPB"), today reported net income of $18.6 million, or $0.69 per fully diluted earnings share ("EPS"), for the third quarter of 2025. This compares to net income of $18.3 million, or EPS of $0.67, in the prior quarter and $13.3 million, or EPS of $0.49, in the same quarter last year. Results for the third quarter of 2025 included $1.5 million in pre-tax expenses related to the consolidation of the Company's former operations center into its main office. Excluding this item, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2025 was $19.7 million, or EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.73.

"Central Pacific delivered another strong quarter, highlighted by continued margin expansion, solid earnings, and growth in both loans and deposits," said Arnold Martines, Chairman, President and CEO. "Our net interest margin increased to 3.49%, reflecting disciplined balance sheet management and improved asset yields. With our strong earnings and capital position, in the fourth quarter we will redeem our subordinated debt and increase our quarterly cash dividend. Additionally, our new partnership with Kyoto Shinkin Bank marks an exciting step forward in deepening Hawaii–Japan business ties and expanding our international reach. These achievements reflect our continued positive momentum and commitment to providing exceptional service to our customers, and delivering long-term value to our shareholders."

Earnings Highlights

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $61.3 million, which increased by $1.5 million, or 2.5% from the prior quarter, and increased by $7.5 million, or 13.8%, compared to the same quarter last year. Net interest margin ("NIM") for the third quarter of 2025 was 3.49%, an increase of 5 basis points ("bp" or "bps") from the prior quarter, and an increase of 42 bps from the same quarter last year. The sequential quarter increase in net interest income and NIM was primarily driven by higher average yields earned on loans, up 5 bps, and investment securities, up 3 bps, partially offset by a 2 bps increase in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a provision of $5.0 million in the prior quarter, and a provision of $2.8 million in the same quarter last year. The current quarter provision for credit losses included $3.4 million for credit losses on loans and $0.8 million for off-balance sheet exposures. The decrease from prior quarter was primarily driven by lower net charge-offs.

Other operating income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $13.5 million, compared to $13.0 million in the prior quarter, and $12.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was largely driven by a $0.5 million increase in investment services income, included in other service charges and fees.

Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $47.0 million, compared to $43.9 million in the prior quarter, and $46.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits of $2.1 million related to incentive accruals and commissions, and $1.5 million in one-time expenses related to the operations center consolidation.

The efficiency ratio was 62.84% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 60.36% in the prior quarter and 70.12% in the same quarter last year. Excluding the $1.5 million in expenses related to the operations center consolidation, the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) was 60.81% for the third quarter of 2025.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was 21.4%, compared to 23.5% in the prior quarter, and 22.0% in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to the impact of the donation of real estate in connection with the consolidation of its operations center, and an increase in projected tax-exempt income.
