Critical Accounting Policies
Our Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. The most significant accounting policies we follow are presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Application of these principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These factors include among other things, whether the policy requires management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. The accounting policies which we believe to be most critical in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements are those that are related to the determination of the reserve for credit losses, fair value estimates, and income taxes.
Reserve for Credit Losses
A consequence of lending activities is that we may incur credit losses. The amount of such losses will vary depending upon the risk characteristics of the loan and lease portfolio as affected by economic conditions.
The reserve for credit losses consists of the allowance for credit losses (the “Allowance”) and the reserve for unfunded commitments (the “Unfunded Reserve”). As a result of our January 1, 2020, adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and its related amendments, our methodology for estimating the reserve for credit losses changed significantly from December 31, 2019. The standard replaced the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” approach known as current expected credit loss (“CECL”). The CECL approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). It removes the incurred loss approach’s threshold that delayed the recognition of a credit loss until it was “probable” a loss event was “incurred.” The reserve for credit losses is an estimate that is subject to uncertainty due to various assumptions and significant judgements used in the estimation process.
The estimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. We then consider whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. These adjustments can include accounting for new or discontinued products, changes in our portfolio composition, delinquency trends, and with forecasted economic conditions including but not limited to unemployment, real estate market conditions (e.g. prices, sales activity and inventory), visitor arrivals, the continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the cumulative impact of fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs in response to the pandemic. The Unfunded Reserve represents the expected credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Unfunded Reserve is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws. However, a liability is not recognized for commitments unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
The historical loss experience for the commercial portfolio segment is primarily determined using a Cohort method. This method pools loans into groups (“cohorts”) sharing similar risk characteristics based on product and risk ratings, and tracks each cohort’s historical net charge-offs to calculate a historical loss rate. The historical loss rates for each cohort are then averaged to calculate an overall historical loss rate which is applied to current loan balances to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the Allowance for most of the commercial portfolio segment.
The historical loss experience for the consumer portfolio segment is primarily determined using a Vintage method. This method measures historical loss behavior in the form of a historical loss rate for homogenous loan pools that originate in the same period, known as a vintage. The historical loss rates are then applied to origination loan balances by vintage to determine the quantitative baseline portion of the Allowance for most of the consumer portfolio segment. The homogenous loan pools are segmented according to similar risk characteristics (e.g., residential mortgage, home equity) and may be sub-segmented further based on historical loss behavior. For example, we sub-segment residential mortgages by geography and home equity by lien position.
The Unfunded Reserve is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws. Future draws are based on historical averages of utilization rates (i.e., the likelihood of draws taken). To estimate future draws on unfunded balances, current utilization rates are compared to historical utilization rates. If current utilization rates are below historical utilization rates, the rate difference is applied to the committed balance to estimate the future draw. Expected loss rates are estimated using the loss rates calculated for the corresponding loan category in the Allowance. For the commercial portfolio,
20

the historical loss rates were calculated utilizing the Cohort methodology, while the consumer portfolio utilized the Vintage methodology.
We also consider qualitative adjustments to the quantitative baseline such as the impact of current environmental factors at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, concentrations of credit risk, such as geographic, large borrower, industry; and economic trends and conditions, such as Hawaii unemployment, real estate prices and market conditions, and visitor arrivals. We also consider changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, trends in delinquencies, and the level of criticized loans.
We also incorporate a reasonable and supportable (“R&S”) loss forecast period, which is currently one year, to account for the effect of forecasted economic conditions and other factors on the performance of the loan portfolios, which could differ from historical loss experience. We also perform asset quality reviews which includes a review of forecasted gross charge-offs and recoveries, nonperforming assets, criticized loans and leases, and risk rating migration. The results of the asset quality review are used to consider qualitative adjustments to the quantitative baseline. After the one-year R&S loss forecast period, this adjustment assumes an immediate reversion to historical loss rates for the remaining expected life of the loan.
The company utilizes the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (“UHERO”) macroeconomic forecast that continuously changes due to economic conditions and events. The forecast includes various economic variables for Hawaii such as gross domestic product (“GDP”), unemployment rate, visitor arrivals, residential real estate market conditions, personal income, and inflation rate. We also utilize other third party macroeconomic forecast tools to provide broader US economic variables such as interest rates.
The reserve for credit losses is generally sensitive to economic conditions and assumptions given the impact for potential losses for the consumer portfolio and risk rating migration for the commercial portfolio. For the consumer portfolio, as an example, an increase in the forecasted Hawaii unemployment rate could lead to an increase in the rate of delinquencies and consequently charge-offs for consumer borrowers. For the Allowance at December 31, 2022, a 25 basis point increase in the forecasted Hawaii unemployment rates would have increased the quantitative component of the Allowance for consumer loans by an estimated $2.6 million. For the commercial portfolio, the impact of adverse changes in economic conditions on borrowers will vary, and generally evaluated on a case-by-case basis to include the borrower’s existing financial capacity. Borrowers that would be most adversely impacted are identified as having the potential for migrating from a Pass to a Classified risk rating. For the Allowance at December 31, 2022, a 50 basis point increase in the % of commercial loans risk rated as Classified would increase the quantitative component of the Allowance for commercial loans by an estimated $2.1 million. This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and provided only to indicate the potential impact changes in economic conditions and assumptions may have on the Allowance estimate. Additionally, changes in factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market inputs. For financial instruments that are traded actively and have quoted market prices or observable market inputs, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. However, when quoted market prices or observable market inputs are not fully available, significant management judgment may be necessary to estimate fair value. In developing our fair value measurements, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy defines Level 1 valuations as those based on quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 valuations are those based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 valuations are based on model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market, or significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.
Financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include available-for-sale investment securities, loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights, investments related to deferred compensation arrangements, and derivative financial instruments. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $2.9 billion or 12% and $4.4 billion or 19%, respectively, of our total assets consisted of financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and most of these financial assets consisted of available-for-sale investment securities measured using information from a third party pricing service. These investments in debt securities and mortgage-backed securities were all classified in either Levels 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial liabilities that are

recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of derivative financial instruments. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $168.0 million and $18.8 million, respectively, or less than 1% of our total liabilities consisted of financial liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, Level 3 financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were $46.6 million and $42.6 million, respectively, or less than 1% of our total assets, and were comprised primarily of derivative financial instruments. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, Level 3 financial liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were $168.0 million and $17.9 million, respectively, or less than 1% of our total liabilities, and were comprised of derivative financial instruments.
Our third party pricing service makes no representations or warranties that the pricing data provided to us is complete or free from errors, omissions, or defects. As a result, we have processes in place to monitor and periodically review the information provided to us by our third party pricing service such as: 1) Our third party pricing service provides us with documentation by asset class of inputs and methodologies used to value securities. We review this documentation to evaluate the inputs and valuation methodologies used to place securities into the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy. This documentation is periodically updated by our third party pricing service. Accordingly, transfers of securities within the fair value hierarchy are made if deemed necessary. 2) On a quarterly basis, management also selects a sample of securities priced by the Company’s third party pricing service and reviews the significant assumptions and valuation methodologies used by the pricing service with respect to those securities. The information provided is comprised of market reference data, which may include reported trades; bids, offers, or broker-dealer dealer quotes; benchmark yields and spreads; as well as other reference data as appropriate. Periodically, based on these reviews, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted. 3) On a quarterly basis, management reviews the pricing information received from our third party pricing service. This review process includes a comparison to a second source. 4) Our third party pricing service has also established processes for us to submit inquiries regarding quoted prices. Periodically, we will challenge the quoted prices provided by our third party pricing service. Our third party pricing service will review the inputs to the evaluation in light of the new market data presented by us. Our third party pricing service may then affirm the original quoted price or may update the evaluation on a going forward basis. Generally, we do not adjust the price from the third party service provider. 5) On an annual basis, we obtain and review the third party’s most recently issued Service Organization Controls report related to controls placed in operation and tests of operating effectiveness, to update our understanding of the third party pricing service’s control environment.
See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our fair value measurements.
Income Taxes
We determine our liabilities for income taxes based on current tax regulations and interpretations in tax jurisdictions where our income is subject to taxation. Currently, we file tax returns for federal, six state and local domestic jurisdictions, and three foreign jurisdictions. In estimating income taxes payable or receivable, we assess the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment considering statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of each tax position. Accordingly, previously estimated liabilities are regularly reevaluated and adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Changes in the estimate of income taxes payable or receivable occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax law, the status of examinations being conducted by various taxing authorities, and newly enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that impact the relative merits and risks of each tax position. These changes, when they occur, may affect the provision for income taxes as well as current and deferred income taxes, and may be significant to our statements of income and condition.
Management's determination of the realization of net deferred tax assets is based upon management's judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing, character and amount of future income, as well as the implementation of various tax planning strategies to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we carried a valuation allowance of $6.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, related to our deferred tax assets established in connection with our low-income housing investments.
We are also required to record a liability, referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit ("UTB"), for the entire amount of benefit taken in a prior or future income tax return when we determine that a tax position has a less than 50% likelihood of being accepted by the taxing authority. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our liabilities for UTBs were $3.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
In 2022, the Company recognized federal and State of Hawaii investment tax credits from energy investments. The Company uses the deferral method of accounting for its investment tax credit with the benefit recognized in the provision for income taxes. These credits reduced the Company's provision for income taxes by $1.0 million, $2.1 million, and $3.1 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Hawaii Economy
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is continuing to have an impact on the Hawaii economy. Hawaii benefits from a wide range of industries that help to provide stability in the case of economic shocks. Federal government jobs, primarily military, have historically been a stabilizing part of Hawaii’s economy, supplying about 20% of GDP. Construction activity, including the Honolulu Rail Project, and other non-visitor-related activities have continued despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Hawaii’s large retiree population also contributes to a stable economic base. Hawaii’s unemployment rate was 3.2% in December 2022, substantially below its peak in April and May of 2020 and below the national average as of year-end 2022.
As previously mentioned, local housing prices are one of the metrics that we continually monitor. While sales volume fell year-over-year given the sharp rise in interest rates, home prices remained relatively stable and months of inventory remained relatively low. The volume of single-family home sales on Oahu decreased 23.2% in 2022 compared to 2021, while the volume of condominium sales on Oahu decreased 11.8% in 2022 compared to 2021. The median price of single-family home sales on Oahu increased by 11.6% in 2022 compared to 2021, while the condominium sales price on Oahu increased by 7.4% in 2022 compared to 2021. As of December 31, 2022, months of inventory of single-family homes and condominiums on Oahu was 2.1 months and 2.2 months, respectively, compared to 0.8 months and 1.6 months as of December 31, 2021.
Earnings Summary
Net income for 2022 was $225.8 million, a decrease of $27.6 million or 11% compared to 2021. Diluted earnings per common share were $5.48 in 2022, a decrease of $0.77 or 12% compared to 2021. Our return on average assets was 0.98% in 2022, a decrease of 16 basis points from 2021, and our return on average shareholders’ equity was 16.10% in 2022, compared to 16.94% in 2021.
Our lower net income in 2022 was primarily due to the following:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The provision for credit losses in 2022 was a net benefit of $7.8 million compared to a net benefit of $50.5 million in 2021. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Mortgage banking income was $6.0 million in 2022, a decrease of $9.0 million or 60% compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily due to decreased mortgage originations due to the higher interest rate environment. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Net losses on sales of investment securities was $6.1 million in 2022, an increase of $4.8 million compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to fees related to the Visa Class B Shares conversion rate agreements as well as gains on sales of investment securities in 2021. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Other noninterest income was $15.6 million in 2022, a decrease of $4.0 million or 20% compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily due to one-time pre-tax charge of $6.9 million related to our agreement to sell assets that terminated leveraged leases related to 31 locomotives. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Salaries and benefits expense was $235.3 million in 2022, an increase of $7.0 million or 3% compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to increase in base salaries and incentive compensation coupled with a $5.7 million increase in share-based compensation due to a higher number of restricted stock units being amortized. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Net occupancy expense was $39.4 million in 2022, an increase of $13.2 million or 50% compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $9.5 million gain on sales of real estate property on the island of Oahu and Guam in 2021. |
These items were partially offset by the following
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Net interest income was $540.6 million in 2022, an increase of $43.3 million or 9% compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to the higher rate environment and strong loan growth over the year. |

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is affected by the size and mix of our balance sheet components as well as the spread between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities. Net interest margin is defined as net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, as a percentage of average earning assets.
Yields on our earning assets increased by 27 basis points in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to the higher rate environment.
26
Table of Contents
Yields on our investment securities portfolio increased by 27 basis points. Yields on our funds sold increased by 151 basis points primarily due to federal fund rate increases. Yields on our commercial and industrial loans excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans increased by 54 basis points primarily due to the higher interest rate environment. Contractual yields on Paycheck Protection Program loans are fixed at 1%, however, effective yield varies based on processing fee income being accelerated due to loans being forgiven by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) ahead of maturity. Yields on our commercial mortgage loans increased by 61 basis points due to the higher interest rate environment and an interest recovery in the second quarter of 2022. Yields on our construction loans increased by 106 basis points due to the higher interest rate environment and the payoff of lower yielding loans. Yields on our residential mortgage loans and home equity loans decreased by 2 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively, primarily due to pay downs of higher rate loans offset by the higher interest rate environment. Yields on other loans decreased by 81 basis points primarily due to the full year impact of promotional lower rate installment loans originated in the prior year.
Interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities increased 20 basis points in 2022 compared to 2021. Interest rates paid on our securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by 18 basis points from 2021 primarily due to the addition of $300.0 million in repurchase agreements with private institutions in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Average balances of our earning assets increased by $0.5 billion or 3% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in the average balances of our loan and lease portfolio. The average balance of funds sold decreased by $431.9 million or 62%. The average balances of our investment securities increased by $0.1 billion. The average balance of total loan and leases increased by $872.8 million. The average balance of our commercial and industrial portfolio increased by $64.2 million or 5%. The average balance of our commercial mortgage portfolio increased by $480.1 million or 16% as a result of continued demand from new and existing customers. The average balance of our residential mortgage portfolio increased by $251.8 million or 6% primarily due to new originations which offset continued paydowns. The average balance of our home equity portfolio increased by $435.1 million mainly due to growth driven by ongoing promotions of our SmartRefi program. The average balance of our automobile loans portfolio increased by $69.1 million or 10% primarily due to competitive loan programs and pricing.
The average balances of our interest bearing deposit products increased by $16.8 million or 0.1%. The average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities increased by $41.3 million or 0.3%. The average balance of our interest bearing demand deposits decreased by $132.7 million or 2.9%. The average balance of our savings deposits increased by $345.8 million or 4.7%. The average balance of our time deposits decreased by $196.3 million or 14.7%.
The average balances of our securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $62.1 million or 11%. This decrease was due to terminations and calls of repurchase agreements with private institutions ($25.0 million called in 2022 and $150.0 million terminated in 2021), partially offset by $300.0 million originated in late 2022. The average balances of our other debt, which was comprised primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, increased by $14.7 million or 53% primarily due to new FHLB advances totaling $400.0 million originated in late 2022, partially offset by the prepayment of FHLB advances totaling $50.0 million during 2021.

Trust and asset management income is comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. These fees are largely based upon the market value of the assets that the Bank manages and the fee rate charged to customers. Total trust assets under administration were $10.5 billion and $11.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Trust and asset management income decreased by $2.3 million or 5% in 2022 compared to 2021 due to decreases in trust assets under administration and tax service fees.
Mortgage banking income is highly influenced by mortgage interest rates, the housing market, the amount of our loan sales, and our valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage banking income decreased by $9.0 million or 60% in 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of conforming saleable loans from current production. This decrease was partially offset by lower amortization of mortgage servicing rights.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $4.1 million or 16% in 2022 compared to 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in overdraft fees attributed to an increase in transaction volume.
Net losses on sales of investment securities totaled $6.1 million and $1.3 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net loss in 2022 was primarily due to $6.1 million in the fees paid to the counterparties of our prior Visa Class B share sales transactions. The net loss in 2021 was primarily due to $5.1 million of the fees paid to the counterparties of our prior Visa Class B share sales transactions. This was offset by $3.8 million net gains on the sales of investment securities in 2021.
Bank-owned life insurance increased by $2.2 million or 28% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to policy purchases in 2022.
Other noninterest income decreased by $4.0 million or 20% in 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $6.9 million loss related to the sale of certain leveraged lease assets.

Table of Contents
Total salaries and benefits increased by $7.0 million or 3% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due a $11.4 million increase in salaries coupled with a $2.7 million increase in shared-based compensation due to a higher number of restricted stock units being amortized. These increases were partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in commission expense and a $3.0 million decrease in retirement and other benefits.
Net occupancy expense increased by $13.2 million or 50% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to gains on sale of real estate property on the island of Oahu and Guam in 2021 of $9.5 million, coupled with an increase in net rental expense in 2022.
Net equipment expense increased by $2.7 million or 7% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in software license fees coupled with an increase in maintenance expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense in 2022 compared to 2021.
Data processing expense decreased by $1.9 million or 10% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to expenses we incurred in 2021 related to the rollout of contactless cards.
Professional fees expense increased by $1.7 million or 13% in 2022 compared to 2021 due to the augmentation of staffing to support corporate initiatives.
Income Taxes
Table 5 presents our provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for 2022 and 2021:
| Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rates | Table 5 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | Provision for Income Taxes | Effective Tax Rates | ||||||
| 2022 | $ | 64,830 | 22.31 | % | ||||
| 2021 | $ | 72,182 | 22.17 | % |
The provision for income taxes was $64.8 million in 2022, a decrease of $7.4 million compared to 2021. The higher effective tax rate in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to the decrease in tax benefits from tax-advantaged investments such as Investments in Low-Income Housing, Municipal Bonds, and Leasing Transactions. The effective tax rate in 2022 was also negatively impacted by a reduction in tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.

Consumer Banking
Net income increased by $8.9 million or 11% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and a decrease in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher deposit spreads and higher deposit and loan balances, partially offset by lower loan spreads. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher allocated expenses related to support units, and higher salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by the rollout of contactless cards in the first quarter of 2021. Also, noninterest expense in 2021 included a gain on the sale of a real estate property on the island of Oahu. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income as a result of decreased sales of conforming saleable loans from current production, partially offset by higher overdraft fees and other income.
Commercial Banking
Net income increased by $2.8 million or 2% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher average spreads on deposits, partially offset by lower loan spreads and deposit balances. Loan portfolio growth was primarily driven by increases in the commercial mortgage portfolio, partially offset by runoff in PPP loans. The decrease in deposit balances was primarily driven by decreases in interest bearing and savings balances, partially offset by increases in noninterest bearing and time deposits. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily due to a loss on sale of equipment related to the early buyout of a leveraged lease, and a reduction in loan fees due to several large one time fees realized in the prior year. Those reductions were partially offset by increases in customer derivative program revenue, merchant income, and letters of credit. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher allocated expenses from support units, higher salaries and benefits expense, and merchant transaction and processing fees, partially offset by increased deferred salaries from loan originations and reduced professional fees.
Treasury and Other
Net income decreased by $39.4 million in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to lower negative provision for credit losses and lower net interest income, partially offset by lower noninterest expense and lower provision for income taxes. The negative provision in 2022 was lower than the negative provision in 2021, as most of the credit concerns associated with COVID-19 that led to a significant build in reserve in 2020 were reversed in 2021, with the development of a vaccine and significant regulatory relief and fiscal stimulus. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher deposit funding costs, partially offset by an increase in interest income from higher asset yields. The decrease in noninterest expense was due to early termination costs incurred in the second and third quarter of 2021 related to the prepayment of repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. The provision for income taxes in this business segment represents the residual amount to arrive at the total tax expense for the Company.

As of December 31, 2022, our investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities with an average base duration of approximately 5.45 years.
We continually evaluate our investment securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability, and the level of interest rate risk to which we are exposed. These evaluations may cause us to change the level of funds we deploy into investment securities, change the composition of our investment securities portfolio, and change the proportion of investments made into the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment categories.
Mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac continue to be the largest concentrations in our portfolio. As of December 31, 2022, these mortgage-backed securities were all AAA-rated, with a low probability of a change in their credit ratings in the near future. As of December 31, 2022, our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities with an average base duration of approximately 3.89 years.
Gross unrealized gains in our investment securities portfolio were $1.9 million as of December 31, 2022, and $49.8 million as of December 31, 2021. Gross unrealized losses in our investment securities portfolio were $1,128.3 million as of December 31, 2022, and $142.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The overall increase in net unrealized losses was primarily due to the increase in interest rates during 2022.

Table of Contents
The gross unrealized loss positions were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. We do not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
The Company’s corporate bond holdings as of December 31, 2022, had a fair value of $809.1 million. Of this total, $16.2 million or 2% was fully guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States, an agency of the U.S. government, and $8.7 million was fully guaranteed by the U.S. government acting through the U.S. Agency for International Development. Of the remaining $784.2 million of corporate bonds, all were credit-rated A- or better by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Total loans and leases were $13.6 billion as of December 31, 2022. This represents a $1.4 billion or 11% increase from December 31, 2021, primarily due to strategic growth in lower risk categories including Commercial Mortgage, Residential Mortgage, and Home Equity.
The commercial loan and lease portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans, PPP loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans, and lease financing. Commercial and industrial loans are made primarily to corporations, middle market, and small businesses for the purpose of financing equipment acquisition, expansion, working capital, and other general business purposes. PPP loans provided cash flow assistance to small businesses who were affected by economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Commercial mortgages and construction loans are offered to real estate investors, developers, and builders primarily domiciled in Hawaii. Commercial mortgages are secured by first mortgages on commercial real estate at loan-to-value ratios generally not exceeding 75%. The commercial properties are predominantly multifamily, industrial and retail centers that are primarily grocery or drug store-anchored, and to a lesser extent, specialized properties such as hotels. The primary source of repayment for investor property is cash flow from the property and for owner-occupied property is the operating cash flow from the business.

Table of Contents
Construction loans are made for the purchase or construction of a property for which repayment will be generated by the property. We classify loans as construction until the completion of the construction phase. Following construction, if a loan is retained, the loan is reclassified to the commercial mortgage category. Lease financing consists of sales-type leases that are used by commercial customers to finance capital purchases. Although our primary market is Hawaii, the commercial portfolio contains loans to some borrowers based on the U.S. Mainland, including some Shared National Credits, which have a business connection to Hawaii or are associated with a Hawaii customer relationhip.
Commercial loans and leases were $5.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $498.3 million or 10% from December 31, 2021. Commercial and industrial loans remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2021. PPP loans decreased by $107.2 million or 85% from December 31, 2021, primarily due to forgiveness payments received from SBA. Commercial mortgage loans increased by $573.4 million or 18% from December 31, 2021, primarily due to continued demand from new and existing customers. Construction loans increased by $40.6 million or 18% from December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in construction activity in our market and focus in affordable housing projects. Lease financing decreased by $35.6 million or 34% from December 31, 2021, primarily due to paydowns and the termination of the last three remaining leveraged leases.
The consumer loan and lease portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, home equity lines and loans, indirect auto loans and leases, and other consumer loans including personal credit lines and direct installment loans. These products are generally offered in the geographic markets we serve. Although we offer a variety of products, our residential mortgage loan portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed-rate loans concentrated in Hawaii. We also offer a variety of home equity lines and loans, which are primarily secured by first lien mortgages on residential property of the borrower. Automobile lending activities include loans and leases secured by new or used automobiles. We originate automobile loans and leases on an indirect basis through selected dealerships. Direct installment loans are generally unsecured and are primarily used for personal expenses or for debt consolidation.
Consumer loans and leases were $8.2 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $889.0 million or 12% from December 31, 2021. Residential mortgage loans increased by $343.5 million or 8% from December 31, 2021, primarily due to a significant decrease in payoff activity, partially offset by a decrease in production. Home equity increased by $389.4 million or 21% from December 31, 2021, as a result of increased originations along with slower payoffs. Automobile loans increased by $133.8 million or 18% from December 31, 2021 primarily driven by competitive loan programs, increased dealer inventory and strong consumer demand. Other consumer loans increased by $22.4 million or 5% from December 31, 2021, primarily due to growth in our installment loans.

Goodwill
Goodwill was $31.5 million as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, based on our qualitative assessment, there were no reporting units where we believed it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our goodwill impairment policy.
Other Assets
Other assets were $574.0 million as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $189.3 million or 49% from December 31, 2021. This increase was mainly due to a $135.4 million increase in deferred taxes primarily due to changes in unrealized gains and losses in Other Comprehensive Income. Low-income housing and other equity investments increased by $38.6 million due to new projects, partially offset by amortization of existing investments. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the composition of our other assets.

This increase was primarily due to an increase in public and other deposits, partially offset by decreases in consumer and commercial deposits. Consumer deposits decreased by $134.5 million or 1.3% due to a $264.2 million decrease in core deposits, partially offset by a $129.7 million increase in time deposits. Commercial deposits decreased by $72.2 million or 1% due to a $109.6 million decrease in core deposits, partially offset by a $37.4 million increase in time deposits. Public and other deposits increased by $462.4 million or 36% due to an increase in time deposits of $538.6 million, partially offset by a $76.2 million decrease in public core deposits.

| Total Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase | $ | 725,490 | $ | 450,490 |
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of December 31, 2022, increased by $275.0 million or 61% from December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted-average maturity was 1.9 years for our repurchase agreements with government entities and 3.7 years for our repurchase agreements with private institutions. Some of our repurchase agreements with private institutions may be terminated at earlier specified dates by the private institution or in some cases by either the private institution or the Company. If all such agreements were to terminate at the earliest possible date, the weighted-average maturity for our repurchase agreements with private institutions would be 1.5 years. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate for repurchase agreements with government entities were 1.55%, while the weighted-average interest rate for repurchase agreements with private institutions as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were 2.97% and 2.46%, respectively, with all rates being fixed. Each of our repurchase agreements is accounted for as collateralized financing arrangement (i.e., secured borrowing) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities.
Other Debt
Other debt was $410.3 million as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $399.9 million or 3849% from December 31, 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we added FHLB advances totaling $400.0 million with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.16% and maturity dates in 2027. As of December 31, 2022, our available capacity under our line of credit with the FHLB was $2.8 billion.
Pension and Postretirement Plan Obligations
Retirement benefits payable were $27.0 million as of December 31, 2022, an $11.5 million or 30% decrease from December 31, 2021. Our pension and postretirement benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost are actuarially determined based on a number of key assumptions, including the discount rate, the expected return on plan assets, and the health-care cost trend rate. The accounting for pension and postretirement benefit plans reflect the long-term nature of the obligations and the investment horizon of the plan assets. The decrease in retirement benefits payable was primarily due to the increase in discount rate, partially offset by a decrease in the plan assets.
The discount rate is used to determine the present value of future benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost. The discount rate used to value the present value of future benefit obligations as of each year-end is the rate used to estimate the net periodic benefit cost for the following year. Table 15 presents a sensitivity analysis of a 25 basis point change in discount rates to the pension and postretirement benefit plan’s net periodic benefit cost and benefit obligations:

Contractual Obligations
The Company has various contractual obligations that affect its cash flows and liquidity. Our non-cancelable operating leases and finance lease obligations are primarily related to branch premises, equipment, and a portion of the Company’s headquarters’ building with lease terms extending through 2052. Purchase obligations arise from agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding. Other contracts included in purchase obligations primarily consist of service agreements for various systems and applications supporting bank operations. Pension and postretirement benefit contributions represent the minimum expected contribution to the unfunded non-qualified pension plan and postretirement benefit plan. Actual contributions may differ from these estimates. For information regarding material contractual obligations, please see Note 14 Employee Benefits, Note 18 Affordable Housing Projects Tax Credit Partnerships, Note 19 Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Note 20 Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees, and Note 23 Leases in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign Activities
Cross-border outstandings are defined as loans (including accrued interest), acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments, and any other monetary assets which are denominated in dollars or other non-local currency.

Managing risk is an essential part of successfully operating our business. Management believes that the most prominent risk exposures for the Company are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk management, capital management, and operational risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that borrowers or counterparties will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations in accordance with the underlying contractual terms. We manage and control credit risk in the loan and lease portfolio by adhering to well-defined underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Written credit policies document underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits, and other guidelines deemed necessary and prudent. Portfolio exposure at the obligor, industry, product, and/or geographic location levels is actively monitored to manage concentration risk. Furthermore, credit risk management also includes an independent credit review process that assesses compliance with commercial and consumer credit policies, risk ratings, and other critical credit information. In addition to utilizing risk management practices that are based upon established and sound lending practices, we adhere to Regulatory Safety and Soundness credit standards. This includes understanding and evaluating our customers’ borrowing needs and capacity to repay, in conjunction with specific risks in their line of business, economic factors, character and history.
Commercial and industrial loans are made primarily for the purpose of financing equipment acquisition, expansion, working capital, and other general business purposes. Lease financing primarily consists of sales-type leases to finance capital purchases ranging from computer equipment to transportation equipment. The credit decisions for these transactions are based upon an assessment of the overall financial capacity of the applicant. A determination is made as to the applicant’s ability to repay in accordance with the proposed terms as well as an overall assessment of the risks involved. In addition to an evaluation of the applicant’s financial condition, a determination is made of the probable adequacy of the primary and secondary sources of repayment, such as additional collateral or personal guarantees, to be relied upon in the transaction. Credit agency reports of the applicant’s credit history supplement the analysis of the applicant’s and/or Guarantor’s creditworthiness.
Commercial mortgages and construction loans are offered to real estate investors, developers, builders, and owner-occupants primarily domiciled in Hawaii. These loans are secured by first mortgages on real estate at loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios deemed appropriate based on the property type, location, overall quality, and sponsorship. Generally, these LTV ratios do not exceed 75%. The commercial properties are predominantly multifamily, industrial, retail centers that are primarily grocery or drug store anchored, and, to a lesser extent, more specialized properties such as hotels. Commercial mortgage and construction loans are substantially secured by properties located in Hawaii.

Commercial mortgage loans are underwritten based on the economic fundamentals of the property and the creditworthiness of the borrower. In evaluating a proposed commercial mortgage loan, we primarily emphasize the ratio of the property’s projected net cash flows to the loan’s debt servicing requirement. The debt service coverage ratio normally is not less than 125% and it is computed after deducting for a vacancy factor and property expenses as appropriate. In addition, a personal guarantee of the loan or a portion thereof is sometimes required from the principal(s) of the borrower. We typically require title insurance insuring the priority of our lien, fire, and extended coverage casualty insurance, and flood insurance, if appropriate, in order to protect our security interest in the underlying property. In addition, business interruption insurance or other insurance may be required. Owner-occupant commercial mortgage loans are underwritten based upon the cash flow of the business provided that the real estate asset is utilized in the operation of the business. Real estate is evaluated independently as a secondary source of repayment. As noted above, LTV ratios generally do not exceed 75%, which are based on regulatory-compliant appraisals that we obtain for the underlying properties.
Construction loans are underwritten against projected cash flows derived from rental income, business income from an owner-occupant, or the sale of the property to an end-user. We may mitigate the risks associated with these types of loans by requiring fixed-price construction contracts, performance and payment bonding, controlled disbursements, and pre-sale contracts or pre-lease agreements.
We offer a variety of first lien and second lien mortgage loans to consumers within our markets with first lien residential mortgages comprising our largest loan category. These loans are secured by a primary residence, secondary residence, or investor property and are underwritten to assess the credit risks and financial capacity and repayment ability of the applicant. Decisions are primarily based on LTV ratios, debt-to-income (“DTI”) ratios, liquidity, and credit scores. LTV ratios generally do not exceed 80%, although higher levels are permitted with mortgage insurance. We offer variable rate mortgage loans with interest rates that are subject to change every six months after the third, fifth, seventh, or tenth year, depending on the product and are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Variable rate mortgage loans are underwritten at fully-indexed interest rates. We do not offer payment-option facilities, sub-prime or Alt-A loans, or any product with negative amortization. We selectively offer interest-only mortgage loans to private banking clients.
Home equity lines and loans are secured primarily by a first lien mortgage, or a second lien mortgage on a primary residence, secondary residence, or investor property. The underwriting terms for the home equity product generally permits borrowing availability, in the aggregate, up to 85% of the value of the collateral property for primary residence and up to 80% of the value of the collateral property for second residence or investor at the time of origination. We offer fixed and variable rate home equity loans, with variable rate loans underwritten at fully-indexed interest rates. Our procedures for underwriting home equity loans include an assessment of an applicant’s overall financial capacity and repayment ability. Decisions are primarily based on LTV ratios, DTI ratios, liquidity and credit scores. Maximum loan amounts and LTVs are determined by collateral value and customer segment.
Automobile lending activities include loans and leases secured by new or used automobiles. We originate automobile loans on an indirect basis through selected dealerships in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan, and we originate automobile leases on an indirect basis through selected dealerships in Hawaii. Our procedures for underwriting automobile loans and leases include an assessment of an applicant’s overall financial capacity and repayment ability. Although an applicant’s creditworthiness is the primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the automobile collateral to the proposed loan amount. We require borrowers to maintain full coverage automobile insurance on automobile loans and leases, with the Bank listed as either the loss payee or additional insured.

Table 17 presents the activity in Non-Performing Assets (“NPAs”) for 2022:

| Balance at Beginning of Year | $ | 18,966 | ||

| Balance at End of Year | $ | 12,647 |
NPAs consist of non-accrual loans and leases and foreclosed real estate. Changes in the level of non-accrual loans and leases typically are caused by loans and leases that reach a specified past due status, offset by reductions for loans and leases that are charged-off, paid down, sold, transferred to foreclosed real estate, or are no longer classified as non-accrual because they have returned to accrual status.
Commercial mortgage non-accrual loans decreased by $5.0 million or 60% from December 31, 2022.
Foreclosed real estate represents property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on loans. Foreclosed real estate is recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market conditions and applicable regulations. Foreclosed real estate as of December 31, 2022 decreased $1.3 million from December 31, 2021, due to sale of one foreclosed real estate in Hawaii.
If interest due on the balances of all non-accrual loans as of December 31, 2022, had been accrued under the original terms, approximately $0.1 million in total interest income would have been recorded in 2022.
Loans and Leases Past Due 90 Days or More and Still Accruing Interest
Loans and leases in this category are 90 days or more past due, as to principal or interest, and are still accruing interest because they are well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans and leases past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $5.4 million as of December 31, 2022, a $2.4 million or 31% decrease from December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily in our residential mortgage and home equity portfolios.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans and Leases
As of December 31, 2022, the Allowance was $144.4 million or 1.06% of total loans and leases outstanding (1.08% excluding PPP loans), compared with an Allowance of $157.8 million or 1.29% of total loans and leases outstanding (1.32% excluding PPP loans) as of December 31, 2021. The Allowance reflects management’s best estimate of losses over the life of loans and leases in our portfolio in accordance with the CECL approach. The decrease in the Allowance and the Ratio of Allowance for Credit Losses to Loans and Leases Outstanding was primarily due to improvement in economic conditions and outlook, along with the performance of our commercial and consumer portfolios.
Net charge-offs of loans and leases were $5.1 million or 0.04% of total average loans and leases in 2022 compared to $6.0 million or 0.05% of total average loans and leases in 2021. Net charge-offs in our consumer portfolios were $4.7 million in 2022 compared to $5.4 million in 2021. This decrease was primarily reflected in our other and automobile portfolio. Net charge-offs in our commercial portfolios were $0.4 million in 2022 compared to net recoveries of $0.6 million in 2021. This decrease in charge-offs was primarily reflected in our consumer other portfolio.

The allocation of the Allowance to our commercial portfolio segment decreased by $1.1 million or 2% from December 31, 2021. This reduction was primarily due to a $3.4 million decrease in the Allowance allocated to the commercial and industrial portfolio, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in the Allowance allocated to the commercial mortgage portfolio. The reductions were primarily due to improving economic conditions and lower risk rating migration expectations.
The allocation of the Allowance to our consumer portfolio segment decreased by $12.3 million or 13% from December 31, 2021. This reduction was due to a $3.6 million decrease in the Allowance allocated to the residential mortgage portfolio, a $3.5 million decrease in the Allowance allocated to the automobile portfolio, and reductions in the Allowance allocated to other and home equity portfolios, totaling $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The reductions were primarily due to improving economic conditions and lower loss forecasts.
See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Allowance and credit quality indicators.
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The Unfunded Reserve was $6.8 million as of December 31, 2022, and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $0.7 million, which was primarily due to the impact of growing commitments and declining average utilization rates in the construction portfolio.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $7.8 million in 2022 and a net benefit of $50.5 million in 2021. This decrease in the net benefit was primarily due to a smaller reduction in the Allowance, as a significant amount of the build in the Allowance during 2020 due to credit concerns and uncertainty associated with COVID-19 was reversed in 2021 in response to improved economic conditions, and the significant level of fiscal and regulatory support and relief.
Other Credit Risks
In the normal course of business, we serve the needs of state and political subdivisions in multiple capacities, including traditional banking products such as deposit services, and by investing in municipal debt securities. The carrying value of our municipal debt securities was $95.3 million as of December 31, 2022, and $75.8 million as of December 31, 2021. We also maintained investments in corporate bonds with a carrying value of $811.7 million as of December 31, 2022, and $403.4 million as of December 31, 2021. We are exposed to credit risk in these investments should the issuer of a security be unable to meet its financial obligations. This may result in the issuer failing to make scheduled interest payments and/or being unable to repay the principal upon maturity.
Our use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Market Risk
Market risk is the potential of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and prices. We are exposed to market risk as a consequence of the normal course of conducting our business activities. Our market risk management process involves measuring, monitoring, and mitigating risks that can significantly impact our statements of income and condition. In this management process, market risks are balanced with expected returns in an effort to enhance earnings performance while limiting volatility.
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The objective of our interest rate risk management process is to optimize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity. The potential cash flows, sales, or replacement value of many of our assets and liabilities, especially those that earn or pay interest, are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from our core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. Our investment securities portfolio is also subject to significant interest rate risk.
Many factors affect our exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences, historical pricing relationships, and repricing characteristics of financial instruments. Our earnings are affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. and its agencies, particularly the FRB. The monetary policies of the FRB can influence the overall growth of loans, investment securities, and deposits and the level of interest rates earned on assets and paid for liabilities.

In managing interest rate risk, we, through the Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), measure short and long-term sensitivities to changes in interest rates. The ALCO, which is comprised of members of executive management, utilizes several techniques to manage interest rate risk, which include:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | adjusting the statement of condition mix or altering the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | changing product pricing strategies; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | modifying characteristics of the investment securities portfolio; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | using derivative financial instruments. |
Our use of derivative financial instruments, as detailed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, has generally been limited. This is due to natural on-balance sheet hedges arising out of offsetting interest rate exposures from loans and investment securities with deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. In particular, the investment securities portfolio is utilized to manage the interest rate exposure and sensitivity to within the guidelines established by the ALCO. We utilize natural and offsetting economic hedges in an effort to reduce the need to employ off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk exposures. Expected movements in interest rates are also considered in managing interest rate risk. Thus, as interest rates change, we may use different techniques to manage interest rate risk.
A key element in our ongoing process to measure and monitor interest rate risk is the utilization of an asset/liability simulation model that attempts to capture the dynamic nature of the statement of condition. The model is used to estimate and measure the statement of condition sensitivity to changes in interest rates. These estimates are based on assumptions about the behavior of loan and deposit pricing, repayment rates on mortgage-based assets, and principal amortization and maturities on other financial instruments. The model’s analytics include the effects of standard prepayment options on mortgages and customer withdrawal options for deposits. While such assumptions are inherently uncertain, we believe that our assumptions are reasonable.
We utilize net interest income simulations to analyze short-term income sensitivities to changes in interest rates. Table 21 presents, for the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, an estimate of the change in net interest income that would result from a gradual and immediate change in interest rates, moving in a parallel fashion over the entire yield curve, relative to the measured base case scenario. The base case scenario assumes the statement of condition and interest rates are generally unchanged. Based on our net interest income simulation as of December 31, 2022, net interest income is expected to increase as interest rates rise. This is due in part to our strategy to maintain a relatively short investment portfolio duration. In addition, rising interest rates would drive higher rates on loans and investment securities, as well as induce a slower pace of premium amortization on certain securities within our investment portfolio. However, lower interest rates would likely cause a decline in net interest income as lower rates would lead to lower yields on loans and investment securities, as well as drive higher premium amortization on existing investment securities. Based on our net interest income simulation as of December 31, 2022, net interest income sensitivity to changes in interest rates for the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2022, was less sensitive in comparison to the sensitivity profile for the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2021. Year-over-year asset sensitivity decreased due to slower forecasted prepayments for mortgage-related assets and higher projected interest expense due to the higher rate environment and lower fed funds sold, partially offset by higher balances in floating rate loans.

To analyze the impact of changes in interest rates in a more realistic manner, non-parallel interest rate scenarios are also simulated. These non-parallel interest rate scenarios indicate that net interest income may decrease from the base case scenario should the yield curve flatten or become inverted for a period of time. Conversely, if the yield curve were to steepen, net interest income may increase.

Other Market Risks
In addition to interest rate risk, we are exposed to other forms of market risk in our normal business transactions. Foreign currency and foreign exchange contracts expose us to a small degree of foreign currency risk. These transactions are primarily executed on behalf of customers. Our trust and asset management income is at risk to fluctuations in the market values of underlying assets, particularly debt and equity securities. Also, our share-based compensation expense is dependent on the fair value of our stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock is impacted by the market price of the Parent’s common stock on the date of grant and is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions, and other factors.
Liquidity Risk Management
The objective of our liquidity risk management process is to manage cash flow and liquidity in an effort to provide continuous access to sufficient, reasonably priced funds. Funding requirements are impacted by loan originations and refinancings, deposit balance changes, liability issuances and settlements, and off-balance sheet funding commitments. We consider and comply with various regulatory guidelines regarding required liquidity levels and regularly monitor our liquidity position in light of the changing economic environment and customer activity. Based on ongoing liquidity assessments, we may alter our asset, liability, and off-balance sheet positions. The ALCO monitors sources and uses of funds and modifies asset and liability positions as liquidity requirements change. This process, combined with our ability to raise funds in money and capital markets and through private placements, provides flexibility in managing the exposure to liquidity risk.
In an effort to satisfy our liquidity needs, we actively manage our assets and liabilities. We have access to immediate liquid resources in the form of cash which is primarily on deposit with the FRB. Potential sources of liquidity also include investment securities in our available-for-sale securities portfolio, our ability to sell loans in the secondary market, and to secure borrowings from the FRB and FHLB. Our held-to-maturity securities, while not intended for sale, may also be utilized in repurchase agreements to obtain funding. Our core deposits have historically provided us with a long-term source of stable and relatively low cost source of funding. Additional funding is available through the issuance of long-term debt or equity.
Maturities and payments on outstanding loans and investment securities also provide a steady flow of funds. Liquidity is further enhanced by our ability to access secured borrowings from the FHLB and FRB. As of December 31, 2022, we could have borrowed an additional $2.8 billion from the FHLB and an additional $603.4 million from the FRB based on the amount of pledged loans and investment securities.
We continued our focus on maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout 2022. As of December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $401.8 million, the carrying value of our available-for-sale investment securities was $2.8 billion, and total deposits were $20.6 billion. As of December 31, 2022, our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities with an average base duration of approximately 3.89 years.
Capital Management
We actively manage capital, commensurate with our risk profile, to enhance shareholder value. We also seek to maintain capital levels for the Company and the Bank at amounts in excess of the regulatory “well-capitalized” thresholds. Periodically, we may respond to market conditions by implementing changes to our overall balance sheet positioning to manage our capital position.
The Company and the Bank are each subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, would likely have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by regulation intended to ensure capital adequacy. Capital ratios are calculated using the regulatory capital rule that allows a five-year transition period related to the adoption of CECL. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized.” There have been no conditions or events since December 31, 2022, that management believes have changed either the Company’s or the Bank’s capital classifications. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in Table 22 below.

As of December 31, 2022, shareholders’ equity was $1.3 billion, a decrease of $294.6 million or 18% from December 31, 2021. For 2022, net income of $225.8 million, common stock issuances of $7.3 million, and share-based compensation of $16.1 million were offset by other comprehensive losses of $368.3 million, cash dividends of $112.6 million paid on common stock shares, cash dividends of $7.9 million paid on preferred stock shares, and common stock repurchases of $55.1 million. In 2022, included in the amount of common stock repurchased were 627,629 shares repurchased under our share repurchase program. These shares were repurchased at an average cost per share of $79.41 and a total cost of $49.8 million. From the beginning of our share repurchase program in July 2001 through December 31, 2022, we repurchased a total of 58.0 million shares of common stock and returned a total of nearly $2.4 billion to our common shareholders at an average cost of $41.17 per share.
Remaining buyback authority was $35.9 million as of December 31, 2022. In January 2023, the Parent’s Board of Directors increased the authorization under the share repurchase program by an additional $100.0 million. Total remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program was $135.9 million at January 20, 2023. The actual amount and timing of future share repurchases, if any, will depend on market and economic conditions, regulatory rules, applicable SEC rules, and various other factors.
In January 2023, the Parent’s Board of Directors declared the quarterly dividend of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, of $10.94 per share, equivalent to $0.2735 per depositary share. The dividend was paid on February 1, 2023, to shareholders of record of the preferred stock at the close of business on January 17, 2023.
In January 2023, the Parent’s Board of Directors declared the quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share on the Parent’s outstanding common shares. The dividend will be payable on March 14, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2023.

Regulatory Initiatives Affecting the Banking Industry
Basel III
Under final FRB and FDIC approved rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company. The Basel III capital standards substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries, including the definitions and the components of Tier 1 capital and Total Capital, the method of evaluating risk-weighted assets, institution of a capital conservation buffer, and other matters affecting regulatory capital ratios. Strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the rules.
The phase-in period for the final rules became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the final rules’ requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule, which were fully implemented on January 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized” under the new rules.
Management continues to monitor regulatory developments and their potential impact to the Company’s liquidity requirements.
Stress Testing
Enactment of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act in May 2018 significantly altered several provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including how stress tests are run. Bank holding companies with total assets of less than $100 billion, such as the Company, are no longer subject to company-run stress testing requirements in section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act, including publishing a summary of results. At this time, the Company continues to run internal stress tests as a component of our comprehensive risk management and capital planning process.
Operational Risk
Operational risk represents the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, errors relating to transaction processing and technology, failure to adhere to compliance requirements, and the risk of cyber attacks. We are also exposed to operational risk through our outsourcing arrangements, and the effect that changes in circumstances or capabilities of our outsourcing vendors can have on our ability to continue to perform operational functions necessary to our business. The risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards, adverse business decisions or their implementation, and customer attrition due to potential negative publicity. Operational risk is inherent in all business activities, and management of this risk is important to the achievement of Company goals and objectives.
Our Operational Risk Committee (the “ORC”) provides oversight and assesses the most significant operational risks facing the Company. We have developed a framework that provides for a centralized operating risk management function through the ORC, supplemented by business unit responsibility for managing operational risks specific to their business units. Our internal audit department also validates the system of internal controls through ongoing risk-based audit procedures and reports on the effectiveness of internal controls to executive management and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.
We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to improve the oversight of operational risk. While our internal controls have been designed to minimize operational risks, there is no assurance that business disruption or operational losses will not occur. On an ongoing basis, management reassesses operational risks, implements appropriate process changes, and invests in enhancements to our systems of internal controls.
Guarantees
We pool Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) insured and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) guaranteed residential mortgage loans for sale to Ginnie Mae. We also sell residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to Fannie Mae. The agreements under which we sell residential mortgage loans to Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae and the insurance or guaranty agreements with the FHA and VA contain provisions that include various representations and warranties regarding the origination and characteristics of the residential mortgage loans. Although these loans are primarily sold on a non-recourse basis, we may be obligated to repurchase residential mortgage loans or reimburse the respective investor if it is found that required documents were not delivered or were defective.
We also service substantially all of the loans we sell to investors in the secondary market. Each agreement under which we act as servicer generally specifies a standard of responsibility for our actions and provides protection against expenses and liabilities incurred by us when acting in compliance with the respective servicing agreements. However, if we commit a material breach of obligations as servicer, we may be subject to various penalties which may include the repurchase of an affected loan or a reimbursement to the respective investor.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2022 was a net expense of $0.2 million compared to a net benefit of $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, while recording a net charge-off of loans and leases of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income, other than net gains on sales of investment securities, was $42.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.5 million or 4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in mortgage banking income due to lower volume and a decrease in trust and asset management fees of $1.0 million due to a decrease in assets under management. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, BOLI income, and other service charges.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $102.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.0 million or 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in other expense and increases in equipment expense and professional fees of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These increases were offset by $1.8 million decrease in salary and benefits expense primarily due to a decrease in corporate incentive plans and commission expense.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.6 million or 35% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 22.4% compared with an effective tax rate of 17.1% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The difference in the effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was primarily due to higher pretax income, lower tax benefits and tax-advantage investments in 2022.
