Hawaiian Electric Industries reported Q3 2026 GAAP net income of $35.5M, but recurring profits fell due to $13.7M in storm-related costs. The company is making early payments on its wildfire settlement and may seek rate increases by May 2027.
- HEI’s recurring net income dropped to $23M in Q3 2026, down from $32.8M a year earlier, largely due to storm operation and maintenance costs.
- The company made an $80M early payment toward its wildfire settlement and plans at least $100M more, potentially reducing its April 2027 payment to under $300M.
- Total liquidity stood at approximately $1.3B, including $224M in unrestricted cash and roughly $1.1B in credit facilities.
- A provisional regulatory timeline could allow new base electricity rates to take effect in early May 2027, potentially generating $83M in additional 2027 revenue if fully approved.
- HEI is evaluating ordinary and convertible debt issuance to fund remaining settlement obligations while minimizing shareholder dilution.
