Bank of Hawaii
Bank of Hawaii's revenue rose 12.1% to $717 million in fiscal 2025. Net income was $206 million, up 37.3%. Its return on equity was 11.7%, up from 9.7% a year earlier. Its efficiency ratio was 61.8%, down from 67.3% a year earlier. It paid out $118 million in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count rose 0.6%.
Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity; return on tangible equity leaves out goodwill and other intangible assets. The efficiency ratio is operating costs as a share of revenue, so lower means the bank spends less to earn each dollar. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

What Bank of Hawaii does
Bank of Hawai'i is the main subsidiary of a bank holding company based in Honolulu. The bank was organized in 1897 and offers a broad range of financial products and services, mainly to customers in Hawai'i, Guam and other Pacific Islands. Its deposits are insured by the FDIC, and it is regulated as a bank and as a holding company.
The company is organized into three business segments: Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Treasury and Other. Like most banks, it takes in deposits and lends them out as loans, and earns the difference in interest along with fees for its services. Its loan portfolio is largely secured by real estate, with much of it in Hawai'i and the West Pacific.
The company says its business depends heavily on the local economies of the islands it serves, and on federal government activity there, including defense spending.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- A downturn in the economy of Hawai'i, Guam and other Pacific Islands, where it does most of its business.
- A drop in real estate values, because most of its loans are secured by real estate.
- Cuts in federal defense spending in Hawai'i and the West Pacific.
- Changes in interest rates that squeeze what it earns on loans.
- Setting aside too little to cover loans that are not repaid.
Income statement
From fiscal 2016 to 2025, earnings per share grew 1.0% a year and net income 1.4% a year, as buybacks cut the share count by 7%.
