The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 6 8 BancWest Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting and reporting policies of BancWest Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "we/our") conform with generally accepted accounting principles and practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies: CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of BancWest Corporation ("BWE") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Hawaiian Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("First Hawaiian"); Bank of the West and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Bank of the West"); FHL Lease Holding Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary; First Hawaiian Capital I; BancWest Capital I; and FHI International, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which included only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. RECLASSIFICATIONS The 2000 Consolidated Financial Statements were reclassified in certain respects to conform to the 2001 presentation. Such reclassifications did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 2. NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (a replacement of SFAS No. 125). This statement revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This statement is effective for the recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosure relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of the recognition, reclassification and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 140 did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption of the transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities provisions of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, requires the recognition of all derivative instruments in the statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities and the measurement of derivative instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the value of those derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption and implementation of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption of these new standards were not material because the Company does not engage in significant transactions that are covered within the scope of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, specifically as it relates to the use of derivative financial instruments. 7 9 BancWest Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 3.

4. IMPAIRED LOANS The following table summarizes impaired loan information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000:
MARCH 31, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 MARCH 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- -------------- (in thousands) Impaired loans with related allowance for credit losses calculated under SFAS No. 114 $ 110,933 $ 77,518 $ 76,150 Impaired loans with no related allowance for credit losses calculated under SFAS No. 114 35,601 35,358 14,440 -------------- -------------- -------------- Impaired loans $ 146,534 $ 112,876 $ 90,590 ============== ============== ============== Total allowance for credit losses on impaired loans $ 17,881 $ 14,702 $ 15,319 Average impaired loans 129,706 93,572 93,005 Interest income recognized on impaired loans 634 5,099 562
We consider loans to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the terms of the original loan agreement. Not all impaired loans are necessarily placed on nonaccrual status; for example, restructured loans performing under restructured terms beyond a specific period may be classified as accruing, but may still be deemed impaired. Impaired loans without a related allowance for credit losses are generally collateralized by assets with fair values in excess of the recorded investment in the loans. Interest payments on impaired loans are generally applied to reduce the outstanding principal amounts of such loans. 5. MERGER WITH BANCWEST CORPORATION AND RELATED MATTERS On November 1, 1998, we consummated the merger (the "BancWest Merger") of the former BancWest Corporation, parent company of Bank of the West, with and into First Hawaiian, Inc. ("FHI"). FHI, the surviving corporation of the BancWest Merger, changed its name to BancWest Corporation on November 1, 1998. We recorded pre-tax restructuring, BancWest Merger-related and other nonrecurring costs totaling $25.5 million in 1998. In connection with recording these costs, a liability of $11.3 million was recorded in 1998, of which $2.5 million remained accrued as of December 31, 2000. During the first three months of 2001, this liability was reduced by $484,000 related to excess leased commercial properties. As of March 31, 2001, $2 million related to excess leased commercial properties remained accrued. The majority of the amount related to excess leased commercial property will be fully amortized by December 2002. 6. NEVADA AND NEW MEXICO BRANCH ACQUISITIONS In the first quarter of 2001, we consummated the acquisitions of 30 branches in Nevada and New Mexico. These branches were divested by First Security Corporation in connection with its merger with Wells Fargo & Company. The acquisitions added $199.5 million in loans and $1.074 billion in deposits at March 31, 2001. We incurred a total $5.2 million in integration costs related to these branch acquisitions since the fourth quarter of 2000, with $3.9 million being recorded in the first quarter of 2001. 8 10 BancWest Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 7. OPERATING SEGMENTS As of March 31, 2001, we had two reportable operating segments: Bank of the West and First Hawaiian. The Bank of the West segment operates primarily on the mainland United States. The First Hawaiian segment operates primarily in the State of Hawaii. The financial results of our operating segments are presented on an accrual basis. There are no significant differences between the accounting policies of the segments as compared to the Company's consolidated financial statements. We evaluate the performance of these segments and allocate resources to them based on net interest income and net income. There are no material intersegment revenues. The tables below present information about the Company's operating segments as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain matters contained in this filing are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. BancWest's forward-looking statements (such as those concerning its plans, expectations, estimates, strategies, projections and goals) involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the statements. Readers should carefully consider those risks and uncertainties in reading this report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) global, national and local economic and market conditions; (2) the level and volatility of interest rates and currency values; (3) government fiscal and monetary policies; (4) credit risks inherent in the lending process; (5) loan and deposit demand in the geographic regions where we conduct business; (6) the impact of intense competition in the rapidly evolving banking and financial services business; (7) extensive federal and state regulation of our business, including the effect of current and pending legislation and regulations; (8) whether expected revenue enhancements and cost savings are realized within expected time frames; (9) whether Bank of the West is successful in retaining and further developing loan, deposit, customer and employee relationships relating to its recently acquired Nevada and New Mexico branches; (10) matters relating to the integration of our business with that of past and future merger partners, including the impact of combining these businesses on revenues, expenses, deposit attrition, customer retention and financial performance; (11) our reliance on third parties to provide certain critical services, including data processing; (12) the proposal or adoption of changes in accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or other standard setting bodies; (13) technological changes; (14) other risks and uncertainties discussed in this document or detailed from time to time in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings that we make, including our 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K; and (15) management's ability to manage risks that result from these and other factors. BancWest's forward-looking statements are based on management's current views about future events. Those statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We do not intend to update forward-looking statements, and we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions on which forward-looking statements are based. We analyze our performance on a net income basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as well as on an operating basis before merger-related, integration and other nonrecurring costs and/or the effects of the amortization of intangible assets referred to in this analysis as "operating" and "cash" earnings, respectively. Operating earnings, cash earnings and operating cash earnings (the combination of the effect of adjustments for both cash and operating results), as well as information calculated from them, and related discussions are presented as supplementary information in this analysis to enhance the readers' understanding of, and highlight trends in, our core financial results excluding the effects of discreet business acquisitions and other transactions. We include these additional disclosures because this information is both relevant and useful in understanding the performance of the company as management views it. Operating earnings and cash earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income and earnings per share, among other gauges of performance, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Merger-related, integration and other nonrecurring costs, the amortization of intangible assets and other items excluded from net income to derive operating and cash earnings may be significant and may not be comparable to those of other companies. BNP PARIBAS ACQUISITION AGREEMENT BancWest Corporation, BNP Paribas ("BNP Paribas"), and Chauchat L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas ("Chauchat L.L.C."), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 8, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Chauchat L.L.C. will merge with and into BancWest, with BancWest as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"), and BancWest will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas. As a result of the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of BancWest common stock (other than shares owned by BancWest or any wholly-owned subsidiary of BancWest and shares held by a holder who properly demands appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of BancWest Class A common stock will be converted into a share of common stock of the surviving corporation. Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including receipt of the approval of the Merger Agreement by BancWest's stockholders and receipt of requisite regulatory approvals. The Merger Agreement and a press release related to the execution of the Merger Agreement were filed with a Report on a Form 8-K on May 11, 2001. 10 12 BANCWEST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Unaudited)

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001(1) 2000 % Change ------------ ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Net income $ 61,747 $ 49,431 24.9% Operating earnings (2) 64,089 49,431 29.7 Cash earnings(3) 70,303 57,612 22.0 Operating cash earnings (2),(3) 72,645 57,612 26.1
(1) Includes $7.6 million after-tax net effect of the Concord security gain, additional provision for credit losses and other nonrecurring items. Excluding the after-tax net effect of the gain, additional provision and other nonrecurring items, first quarter 2001 earnings and cash earnings were $54.2 million and $62.7 million, respectively. Operating earnings and operating cash earnings, excluding the net after-tax effect of the aforementioned items, were $56.5 million and $65.1 million, respectively. (2) Excluding after-tax integration costs of $2.3 million related to the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions in the first quarter of 2001. (3) Excluding after-tax amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The increases in net income, operating earnings, cash earnings and operating cash earnings for the first three months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 were primarily due to a $24.6 million after-tax gain stemming from the sale of the Company's approximate 5% interest in Star Systems, Inc. ("Concord security gain"), which was acquired by Concord EFS, Inc. In addition, revenues increased because of the growth in loan volumes in the mainland United States, contribution from 30 newly acquired branches in Nevada and New Mexico in 2001 and increased noninterest income. These increases were partially offset by a $23 million (pre-tax) additional provision for credit losses, a committed donation to a private charitable foundation of $5 million (pre-tax) and other nonrecurring items totaling $398,000 (pre-tax). Considered together, the after-tax net effect of the Concord security gain, the additional provision for credit losses, the charitable contribution and the other nonrecurring items added $7.6 million to our net income. The following table shows diluted earnings, operating earnings, cash earnings and operating cash earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. All per-share data have been calculated to include both common and Class A common shares.

(1) Includes $7.6 million after-tax net effect of the Concord security gain, additional provision for credit losses and other nonrecurring items. Excluding the after-tax net effect of the gain, additional provision and other nonrecurring items, first quarter 2001 earnings and cash earnings per share were $.43 and $.50, respectively. Operating earnings and operating cash earnings per share, excluding the net after-tax effect of the aforementioned items, were $.45 and $.52, respectively. (2) Excluding after-tax integration costs of $2.3 million related to the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions in the first quarter of 2001. (3) Excluding after-tax amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. 12 14 NET INCOME, CONTINUED The table below shows the return on average total assets, the return on average tangible assets, the return on average stockholders' equity and the return on average tangible stockholders' equity for the first three months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. The return on average tangible assets is defined as operating cash earnings as a percentage of average total tangible assets. The return on average tangible stockholders' equity is defined as operating cash earnings as a percentage of average stockholders' equity minus average goodwill and core deposit tangibles.
2001 2000 % Change ---------- ---------- ---------- Return on average total assets 1.33% 1.18% 12.7% Operating return on average total assets(1) 1.38 1.18 16.9 Return on average tangible assets(1) 1.62 1.44 12.5 Return on average stockholders' equity 12.26 10.74 14.2 Operating return on average stockholders' equity(1) 12.73 10.74 18.5 Return on average tangible stockholders' equity(1) 22.26 19.92 11.7
(1) Ratios are computed excluding after-tax integration costs related to the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions in the first quarter of 2001. The increases in the above returns were a result of the higher profitability of our assets and stockholders' equity, with revenues increasing at a faster pace than expenses for the first three months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. NET INTEREST INCOME The following table compares net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the same period in 2000:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 2000 % Change ------------ ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Net interest income $ 189,448 $ 179,437 5.6%
The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 over the same period in 2000 was primarily due to a 10-basis-point rise (1% equals 100 basis points) in the yield on average earning assets and an increase in average earning assets of 11.9%, or $1.8 billion, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, partially offset by a 34-basis-point increase in the rate paid on funding sources. In addition, the higher net interest income is also a result of higher average noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased by $392.2 million, or 15.2%, in the first quarter of 2001 over the same period in 2000. 13 15 NET INTEREST INCOME, CONTINUED The following table compares net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the same period in 2000:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, Change 2001 2000 (basis points) -------------- -------------- -------------- Yield on average earning assets 8.19% 8.09% 10 Rate paid on funding sources 3.61 3.27 34 Net interest margin 4.58 4.82 (24)
The decrease in the net interest margin in the first three months of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 is primarily due to the 34-basis-point increase in the rate paid on funding sources, reflecting a rapidly changing interest rate environment over the last 12 months. The Federal Reserve's benchmark Federal Funds rate has changed six times in the period between January 2000 and March 2001. Although there have been three 50-basis-point decreases in the first quarter of 2001, the effects of these decreases will take some time to be fully reflected in the repricing of our assets and liabilities. For further discussions on the impact that the changing interest environment has had on the rate paid on deposits see page 18. This increase in the rate paid on funding sources was partially offset by the 10-basis-point increase on the yield on average earning assets. The interest rate spread, the difference between the yield on average earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and liabilities, has decreased by 37 basis points to 3.54% in the first three months of 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 2000 % Change ----------- ----------- ----------- (in thousands) Average earning assets $16,774,604 $14,988,195 11.9% Average loans and leases 14,145,518 12,655,332 11.8 Average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities 13,031,723 11,747,561 10.9
The increase in average earning assets was primarily due to increases in average loans and leases. The increase in average loans and leases was primarily due to the growth of our Bank of the West operating segment's loan and lease portfolio, with significant increases in consumer loan and lease financing volumes. Also contributing to the increase in average loans and leases was the addition of the 30 branches in Nevada and New Mexico in the first quarter of 2001. The acquired branches added $134 million in average loans and leases. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits and long-term debt and capital securities. Expansion of our customer deposit base, primarily from our Bank of the West operating segment, contributed to the increase. The branches acquired in Nevada and New Mexico added $671 million in average deposits in the first quarter of 2001. 14 16 The following table sets forth consolidated average balance sheets, an analysis of interest income/expense and average yield/rate for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated on a taxable-equivalent basis. The tax equivalent adjustment is made for items exempt from Federal income taxes (assuming a 35% tax rate for 2001 and 2000) to make them comparable with taxable items before any income taxes are applied.

Held-to-maturity investment securities decreased by $6.2 million, or 6.6%, compared to December 31, 2000 and by $39.1 million, or 31.1%, compared to March 31, 2000, principally due to maturities of the investment securities. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE The following table presents the amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair values of available-for-sale investment securities as of the dates indicated:

There were no gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. CONCORD SECURITY GAIN The $41.3 million pre-tax securities gain that was realized in the first quarter of 2001 relates to the merger between Star System, Inc. ("Star") and Concord EFS, Inc. ("Concord") on February 1, 2001. All of the outstanding shares of Star were exchanged for Concord shares in the merger. BancWest owned approximately 5% of the shares of Star Systems, Inc., which were reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets due to certain provisions of SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Concord shares that we received in the merger are reported as available-for-sale securities as of February 1, 2001. The gain reflects the value of the Concord shares as of February 1, 2001, adjusted for a 25% marketability discount because these shares remain restricted and unregistered. Once these shares become unrestricted and registered, BancWest may record an additional gain based on their value at disposition. 16 18 LOANS AND LEASES The following table sets forth the loan and lease portfolio by major categories and loan and lease mix at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000:

The loan and lease portfolio is the largest component of total earning assets and accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income. At March 31, 2001, total net loans and leases were $14.0 billion, representing increases of 1.6% and 10.4% over December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The increase in loans as of March 31, 2001, as compared to March 31, 2000, was primarily due to increases in consumer loans and lease financing, primarily in our Bank of the West operating segment. Also contributing to the increase in the loans in the Bank of the West operating segment was the $199.5 million in loans acquired with the branches in Nevada and New Mexico. The increase was partially offset by decreases in commercial and real estate loan categories and certain consumer loans in our First Hawaiian operating segment. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans as of March 31, 2001 decreased $42.3 million, or 1.6%, over December 31, 2000, and increased $175.8 million, or 7.4%, over March 31, 2000. The Company continues its efforts to diversify its loan and lease portfolio, both geographically and by industry, with credit extensions on the mainland United States accounting for the majority of the increase in loan and lease balances and the geographic and industry diversification during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Commercial real estate loans increased $139.7 million, or 5.3%, from December 31, 2000, and increased $298.8 million, or 12.1%, from March 31, 2000. The increase over the past twelve months was primarily due to the growth in our Bank of the West operating segment. 17 19 LOANS AND LEASES, CONTINUED Consumer loans as of March 31, 2001 increased $175.2 million, or 4.9%, over December 31, 2000, and $682.1 million, or 22.1%, over March 31, 2000. Consumer loans consist primarily of direct and indirect automobile, recreational vehicle, marine, credit card and unsecured financing. The increase in consumer loans at March 31, 2001 as compared to December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000 was primarily a result of growth in our Bank of the West operating segment on the mainland United States. Lease financing as of March 31, 2001 increased $68.0 million, or 3.3%, over December 31, 2000, and $281.3 million, or 15.4%, over March 31, 2000. The increase in lease financing from March 31, 2000 was primarily due to an increase in the automobile lease portfolio in our Bank of the West operating segment. The increase in lease financing at March 31, 2001, as compared to December 31, 2000, was primarily due to increases on the mainland United States. The Company's foreign loans are principally in Guam and Saipan. Foreign loans as of March 31, 2001 decreased $6.6 million, or 1.9%, compared to December 31, 2000, with approximately 93% domiciled in Guam and Saipan. Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities, which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At March 31, 2001, we did not have a concentration of loans greater than 10% of total loans which is not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans as shown in the above table. DEPOSITS Deposits are the largest component of our total liabilities and account for the greatest portion of total interest expense. At March 31, 2001, total deposits were $14.7 billion, an increase of 10.4% over March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to the growth in our customer deposit base, primarily in the Bank of the West operating segment, including the newly acquired branches in Nevada and New Mexico, and various deposit product programs that we initiated. The increase in nearly all of the rates paid on deposits reflects the rising interest rate environment for most of 2000, caused primarily by rate increases by the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee. The 75-basis-point total increase in the benchmark Federal Funds rate in 2000 was followed by three sharp and rapid 50-basis-point decreases in the first quarter of 2001. The rates paid on deposits reflect this rapidly changing interest rate environment at different speeds, due to the repricing characteristics of each type of deposit. Time deposits, which generally reprice more slowly than other deposits, do not yet fully reflect the sharp decreases in interest rates implemented in 2001, while interest-bearing and savings deposits, which can be repriced more rapidly, are more reflective of the current decrease in the interest rate environment. The deposits in the foreign category are a mixture of time, savings and other interest-bearing deposits; therefore, its rate reflects both types of repricing characteristics. Additional information on our average deposit balances and rates paid is provided in the table on page 15. 18 20 NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000 are as follows:

(1) Represents loans and leases which are past due 90 days or more as to principal and/or interest, are still accruing interest and are adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. 19 21 NONPERFORMING ASSETS, CONTINUED Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 were $128.7 million, or .90% of total loans and leases and other real estate owned and repossessed personal property ("OREO"), compared to .96% at March 31, 2000. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 were .66% of total assets, compared to .70% at March 31, 2000. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 increased by $7.7 million, or 6.3%, from December 31, 2000. The increase in the nonaccrual commercial, financial and agricultural loans was primarily due to a $12.7 million commercial credit to a West Coast franchise operator added by Bank of the West. The decreases in real estate -- commercial and residential loans were attributable to the transfer of nonaccrual loans and leases to OREO, payoffs and partial paydowns of nonaccrual loans and leases. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the consumer and lease financing components of nonaccrual loans and leases, primarily due to our growing loan and lease volumes in these two categories. The increase in nonperforming loans and leases was partially offset by a decrease in OREO, primarily due to reductions in other real estate owned in the First Hawaiian operating segment. Included in nonperforming assets are loans to small businesses that were partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The outstanding loan and SBA guarantee amounts were: $13.5 million and $5.2 million at March 31, 2001; $9.8 million and $7.3 million at December 31, 2000; and $10.5 million and $7.9 million at March 31, 2000, respectively. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 increased by $5.6 million, or 4.5%, from March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in nonaccrual commercial, financial and agricultural loans, consumer and lease financing loans, which were partially offset by decreases in all components of nonaccrual real estate loans and restructured real estate -- commercial loans. We generally place a loan or lease on nonaccrual status when we believe that collection of principal or income has become doubtful or when loans and leases are 90 days past due as to principal or income, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. We may make an exception to the general 90-day-past-due rule when the fair value of the collateral exceeds our recorded investment in the loan or when other factors indicate that the borrower will shortly bring the loan current. While the majority of consumer loans and leases are subject to our general policies regarding nonaccrual loans, certain past-due consumer loans and leases are not placed on nonaccrual status, because they are charged off upon reaching a predetermined delinquency status varying from 120 to 180 days, depending on product type. When we place a loan or lease on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income of the current period. When we receive a cash interest payment on a nonaccrual loan, we apply it as a reduction of the principal balance when we have doubts about the ultimate collection of the principal. Otherwise, we record such payments as income. Nonaccrual loans and leases are generally returned to accrual status when they: (1) become current as to principal and interest or (2) become both well secured and in the process of collection. Other than the loans listed, we were not aware of any significant potential problem loans where possible credit problems of the borrower caused us to seriously question the borrower's ability to repay the loan under existing terms. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $18.6 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of $400,000 or 2.2%, from March 31, 2000. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased by $1.4 million, or 8.1%, from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. The increase is primarily due to higher commercial, financial and agricultural loan delinquencies, which were partially offset by decreases in real estate, consumer and foreign loans. All of the loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are, in our judgment, adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Hawaii has finally begun to recover from the economic stagnation that plagued it through much of the 1990's. This improvement in Hawaii's economic condition is one of the factors that led to the decrease in nonperforming assets in the First Hawaiian operating segment. 20 22 PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, --------------------------------------- 2001 2000 -------------- -------------- (dollars in thousands) Loans and leases outstanding (end of period) $ 14,202,523 $ 12,856,475 ============== ============== Average loans and leases outstanding $ 14,145,518 $ 12,655,332 ============== ============== Allowance for credit losses: Balance at beginning of period $ 172,443 $ 161,418 -------------- -------------- Loans and leases charged off: Commercial, financial and agricultural 10,656 1,983 Real estate: Commercial 399 291 Construction -- 1,185 Residential 1,067 1,671 Consumer 8,664 6,806 Lease financing 2,998 2,209 Foreign 602 312 -------------- -------------- Total loans and leases charged off 24,386 14,457 -------------- -------------- Recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off: Commercial, financial and agricultural 147 109 Real estate: Commercial 50 17 Construction 131 8 Residential 200 309 Consumer 1,699 1,616 Lease financing 502 594 Foreign 260 122 -------------- -------------- Total recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off 2,989 2,775 -------------- -------------- Net charge-offs (21,397) (11,682) -------------- -------------- Provision for credit losses 35,200 12,930 -------------- -------------- Balance at end of period $ 186,246 $ 162,666 ============== ============== Net loans and leases charged off to average loans and leases .61%(1) .37%(1) Net loans and leases charged off to allowance for credit losses 46.59%(1) 28.88%(1) Allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases (end of period) 1.31% 1.27% Allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans and leases (end of period): Excluding 90 days past due accruing loans and leases 1.72X 1.68x Including 90 days past due accruing loans and leases 1.47X 1.42x
(1) Annualized. 21 23 PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES, CONTINUED The provision for credit losses for the first three months of 2001 was $35.2 million, an increase of $22.3 million, or 172.2%, over the same period in 2000. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the first three months of 2001 over the same period in 2000 primarily reflects the larger loan portfolio resulting from our continued loan volume growth and certain macroeconomic and other factors discussed below. The provision for credit losses is based upon our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses (the "Allowance") to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The Company uses a systematic methodology to determine the adequacy of the Allowance and related provision for credit losses to be reported for financial statement purposes. The determination of the adequacy of the Allowance is ultimately one of judgment, which includes consideration of many factors, including, among other things, the amount of problem and potential problem loans and leases, net charge-off experience, changes in the composition of the loan and lease portfolio by type and location of loans and leases and in overall loan and lease risk profile and quality, general economic factors and the fair value of collateral. Our approach to managing exposure to credit risk involves an integrated program of setting appropriate standards for credit underwriting and diversification, monitoring trends that may affect the risk profile of the credit portfolio and making appropriate adjustments to reflect changes in economic and financial conditions that could affect the quality of the portfolio and loss probability. The components of this integrated program include: - Setting Underwriting and Grading Standards. In 1996, we refined our loan grading system to ten different principal risk categories where "1" is "no risk" and "10" is "loss" and began an effort to decrease our exposure to customers in the weaker credit categories. We also established risk parameters so that the cost of credit risk is an integral part of the pricing and evaluation of credit decisions and the setting of portfolio targets. - Diversification. We actively manage our credit portfolio to avoid excessive concentration by obligor, risk grade, industry, product and geographic location. As part of this process, we also monitor changes in risk correlation among concentration categories. In addition, we seek to reduce our exposure to concentrations by actively participating portions of our commercial and commercial real estate loans to other banks. - Risk Mitigation. Over the past few years, we have reduced our exposure to higher-risk areas such as real estate construction (which accounted for only 2.9% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2001), Hawaii commercial real estate, health care, hotel and agricultural loans. We have also reduced our exposure in the Asia-Pacific region from $101.0 million at December 31, 1997 to $45.4 million at March 31, 2001. These outstanding loans are collateralized by Hawaii real estate and letters of credit. - Restricted Participation in Syndicated National Credits. In addition to the back-up commercial paper facilities to primarily investment- grade companies, we participate in media finance credits in the national market, one of our traditional niches where we have developed a special expertise over a long period of time and with experienced personnel. At March 31, 2001, the ratio of nonperforming shared national credits and media finance loans to total shared national credits and media finance loans outstanding was 3%. - Emphasis on Consumer Lending. Consumer loans represent our single largest category of loans and leases. We focus our consumer lending activities on loan grades with what we believe are predictable loss rates. As a result, we are able to use formula-based approaches to calculate appropriate reserve levels that reflect historical experience. We generally do not participate in subprime lending activities. We also seek to reduce our credit exposures where feasible by obtaining third-party insurance or similar protections. For example, in our vehicle lease portfolio (which represents approximately 66% of our lease financing portfolio and 24% of our combined lease financing and consumer loans at March 31, 2001), we obtain third-party insurance for the estimated residual value of the leased vehicle. To the extent that these policies include deductible values we set aside reserves to fully cover the uninsured portion. 22 24 PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES, CONTINUED Although we have taken substantial effort to attempt to mitigate risk within our loan portfolio, a confluence of events in the first quarter of 2001 has made it prudent to increase our provision for credit losses. While we have not specifically identified credits that are currently losses or potential problem loans (other than those identified in our discussion of nonperforming assets on pages 19 and 20), certain events make it probable that there are losses inherent in our portfolio. These events include: - The rapid and sharp economic slowdown in certain key sectors of the United States economy, in particular manufacturing and technology. This slowdown is aggravated in one of our principal markets, California, by a recurring energy supply problem. - The steep decline in the equity markets in the United States experienced in the first quarter of 2001 has erased a substantial portion of household net worth that was accumulated throughout most of the 1990s. The decline could affect our portfolio in the form of increased charge-offs and nonaccrual loans in the coming months. - Although not a large part of our portfolio, certain agricultural loans in the Pacific Northwest have become a concern. - The purchase of 30 branches in Nevada and New Mexico, with $199.5 million in loans at March 31, 2001, necessitated additional provision for credit losses. Charge-offs were $24.4 million for the first three months of 2001, an increase of $9.9 million, or 68.7%, over the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily due to charge-offs in the commercial, financial and agricultural and consumer loans and lease financing in the first three months of 2001. In particular, the charge-offs in the first quarter of 2001 were higher than in the same period of 2000 due to the write-off of $4.4 million in agricultural credits in the Pacific Northwest and $2.5 million for commercial fraud-related losses. For the first three months of 2001, recoveries increased by $214,000, or 7.7%, over the same period in 2000. The increase in recoveries was primarily in real estate -- construction and foreign loans. The Allowance increased to 1.72 times nonperforming loans and leases (excluding 90 days or more past due accruing loans and leases) at March 31, 2001 from 1.68 times at March 31, 2000. The increase in the ratio is principally due to an increase in the Allowance as a result of the growth in our loan portfolio and the additional factors mentioned above. In part, the additional provision for credit losses results from the higher charge-offs we have experienced in the first quarter of 2001. The additional provision for credit losses is necessary to adequately maintain our allowance for the inherent losses within our portfolio that result from the macroeconomic factors described above. In our judgment, the Allowance was adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio at March 31, 2001. However, changes in prevailing economic conditions in the Company's markets could result in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future and, accordingly, changes in the Allowance. We will continue to closely monitor economic developments and those specific items mentioned above in particular and make necessary adjustments to the Allowance accordingly. 23 25 NONINTEREST INCOME The following table reflects the key components of the change in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 2000 % Change ------------ ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Service charges on deposit accounts $ 20,436 $ 16,992 20.3% Trust and investment services income 9,127 9,060 0.7 Other service charges and fees 18,374 17,988 2.1 Securities gains, net 41,300 -- N/M Other 9,262 5,997 54.4 ------------ ------------ Total noninterest income $ 98,499 $ 50,037 96.9% ============ ============
N/M - Not Meaningful. As the table above shows in more detail, noninterest income increased by 96.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Factors causing the increases include: - Concord security gain - Increase in service charges on deposit accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to the same periods in 2000, primarily due to higher levels of deposits resulting from the expansion of our customer deposit base predominately in our Bank of the West operating segment, including the deposits from the 30 branches acquired in Nevada and New Mexico in the first quarter of 2001. - Increase in other service charges and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to the same periods in 2000, primarily due to: (1) higher merchant services fees, due to higher fee charges, increased volume and more merchant outlets; (2) higher bank card and ATM convenience fee income; and (3) higher miscellaneous service fees. - Increase in other noninterest income primarily due to increased income from bank-owned life insurance. 24 26 NONINTEREST EXPENSE The following table reflects the key components of the change in noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same periods in 2000: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2001 2000 % Change ------------ ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Salaries and wages $ 49,377 $ 45,338 8.9% Employee benefits 17,973 13,847 29.8 Occupancy expense 16,235 15,357 5.7 Outside services 11,503 12,039 (4.5) Intangible amortization 10,284 9,140 12.5 Equipment expense 7,532 7,186 4.8 Stationery and supplies 4,400 4,705 (6.5) Advertising and promotion 4,333 4,079 6.2 Restructuring, integration and other nonrecurring costs 3,935 -- N/M Other 24,516 19,886 23.3 ------------ ------------ Total noninterest expense $ 150,088 $ 131,577 14.1% ============ ============
N/M - Not Meaningful. As the table above shows in more detail, noninterest expense increased by 14.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same periods in 2000. Factors causing the increase include: - Increase in salaries and wages primarily due to increased staffing as a result of the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions in the first quarter of 2001. - Increase in employee benefits due to: (1) higher employee benefits due to increased staffing as a result of the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions and (2) higher incentive benefits. Also, change from prior year is greater due to lower net periodic pension benefit credits in the first quarter of 2001. - Increase in intangible amortization due to the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions. We recorded an additional $111 million in goodwill and core deposit intangibles at acquisition. - The restructuring, integration and other nonrecurring costs relate to 30 branches acquired in Nevada and New Mexico in the first quarter of 2001. - Increase in other noninterest expense primarily due to a $5 million committed charitable contribution made to the First Hawaiian Foundation, a charitable arm of First Hawaiian that supports nonprofit and community organizations in the markets where it operates. ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS We have a substantial amount of intangible assets, mainly goodwill and core deposit intangibles, that stem primarily from the BancWest Merger and the Nevada and New Mexico branch acquisitions. The amortization of these intangible assets has a significant effect on our net income and earnings per share, among other items, as measured under current generally accepted accounting principles. The FASB's Business Combination Project has recently announced a preliminary proposal that may have a material effect on our financial information. In summary, the FASB's proposal would end the amortization of goodwill and instead call for review of the goodwill's carrying value for impairment. If adopted, this proposal would also apply retroactively to goodwill arising from acquisitions prior to the implementation date. This change in accounting practice would have a significant effect on our earnings and related profitability ratios. For the first quarter of 2001, our net income would increase by approximately $7 million due to the after-tax effect of the cessation of the amortization of goodwill. 25 27 INCOME TAXES The Company's effective income tax rates (exclusive of the tax equivalent adjustment) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were 39.8%, as compared to 41.7% for the same period in 2000. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to certain benefits of restricted stock and settlement of state tax audits. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL Stockholders' equity was $2.045 billion at March 31, 2001, an increase of 2.8% over $1.989 billion at December 31, 2000. Compared to March 31, 2000, stockholders' equity at March 31, 2001 increased by $174.872 million, or 9.4%. The increase was primarily due to net income for the respective periods, less dividends paid. Under regulation established to ensure capital adequacy, the Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of Tier 1 and Total Capital and minimum ratios of Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital to risk-weighted assets, respectively, and of Tier 1 Capital to average assets (leverage). These amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2001 are set forth below:
For Capital Actual Adequacy Purposes ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- (in thousands) (in thousands) Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $ 1,538,004 9.10% $ 677,438 4.00% Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $ 1,878,738 11.11% $ 1,354,876 8.00% Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets $ 1,538,004 8.48% $ 725,556 4.00%
As of March 31, 2001, the Company's depository institution subsidiaries were categorized as well-capitalized under the applicable federal regulations regarding the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, a bank must have a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.00% or greater, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00% or greater, a leverage ratio of 5.00% or greater and not be subject to any agreement, order or directive to meet a specific capital level for any capital measure. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT The net interest income of the Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent the Company's interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits and borrowings) mature or reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning assets (primarily loans and leases and investment securities). When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets during a given period, an increase in interest rates could reduce net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, a decrease in interest rates could have a negative impact on net interest income. In addition, the impact of interest rate swings may be exacerbated by factors such as our customers' propensity to manage their demand deposit balances more or less aggressively or to refinance mortgage and other consumer loans depending on the interest rate environment. The Asset/Liability Committees of the Company and its major subsidiary companies are responsible for managing interest rate risk. The frequency of meetings of the Asset/Liability Committees generally range from monthly to quarterly. Recommendations for changes to a particular subsidiary's interest rate profile, should they be deemed necessary and exceed established policies, are made to their respective Board of Directors. Other than loans and leases that are originated and held for sale and commitments to purchase and sell foreign currencies and mortgage-backed securities, the Company's interest rate derivatives and other financial instruments are not entered for trading purposes. 26 28 INTEREST RATE RISK MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT, CONTINUED The Company models its net interest income in order to quantify its exposure to changes in interest rates. Generally, the size of the balance sheet is held relatively constant and then subjected to interest rate shocks up and down of 100 and 200 basis points each. Each account-level item is repriced according to its respective contractual characteristics, including any imbedded options which might exist (e.g. periodic interest rate caps or floors or loans and leases which permit the borrower to prepay the principal balance of the loan or lease prior to maturity without penalty). Off-balance-sheet instruments such as interest rate swaps, swaptions, caps or floors are included as part of the modeling process. For each interest rate shock scenario, net interest income over a 12-month horizon is compared against the results of a scenario in which no interest rate change occurs ("flat rate scenario") to determine the level of interest rate risk at the time. The projected impact of 100 and 200 basis-point increases and decreases in interest rate on the Company's consolidated net interest income over the next 12 months beginning April 1 and January 1, 2001 is shown below:
(dollars in millions) +2% +1% Flat -1% -2% --------------------- --- --- ---- --- --- April 1, 2001 Net Interest Income $831.9 $840.4 $834.4 $819.1 $797.7 Difference from flat $ (2.5) $ 6.0 $ -- $(15.3) $(36.7) % variance (0.3)% 0.7% --% (1.8)% (4.4)% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 1, 2001 Net Interest Income $816.9 $829.2 $825.2 $811.0 $793.6 Difference from flat $ (8.3) $ 4.0 $ -- $(14.2) $(31.6) % variance (1.0)% 0.5% --% (1.7)% (3.8)%
The changes in the models are due to differences in interest rate environments which include the absolute level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and spreads between benchmarks rates. SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS UTILIZED AND INHERENT LIMITATIONS The significant net interest income changes for each interest rate scenario presented above include assumptions based on accelerating or decelerating mortgage prepayments in declining or rising scenarios, respectively, and adjusting deposit levels and mix in the different interest rate scenarios. The magnitude of changes to both areas in turn are based upon analyses of customers' behavior in differing rate environments. However, these analyses may differ from actual future customer behavior. For example, actual prepayments may differ from current assumptions as prepayments are affected by many variables which cannot be predicted with certainty (e.g. prepayments of mortgages may differ on fixed and adjustable loans depending upon current interest rates, expectations of future interest rates, availability of refinancing, economic benefit to borrower, financial viability of borrower, etc.). As with any model for analyzing interest rate risk, certain limitations are inherent in the method of analysis presented above. For example, the actual impact on net interest income due to certain interest rare shocks may differ from those projections presented should market conditions vary from assumptions used in the analysis. Furthermore, the analysis does not consider the effect of a changed level of overall economic activity that could exit in certain interest rate environments. Moreover, the method of analysis used does not take into account the actions that management might take to respond to changes in interest rates because of inherent difficulties in determining the likelihood or impact of any such response. 27 29 PART II.
