How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Core Earnings Per Share (EPS) financial
"Core Earnings Per Share (EPS), Core Net Income, Core Return on Equity (ROE)"
Core earnings per share (EPS) is a measure of a company's profit per share that removes one-time, unusual or non-recurring items to show the underlying, repeatable earnings available to shareholders. It matters because it gives investors a clearer view of the business's ongoing profitability and makes comparisons across periods or companies fairer; think of it as judging a car by its regular fuel efficiency rather than a single unusually fast trip.

Total Case Incident Rate measures how many work-related injuries and illnesses occur per 100 employees. TCIR is calculated as follows: Number of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable cases multiplied by 200,000 productive hours (i.e. 2,000 work-hours per year per employee multiplied by 100 employees) divided by total number of productive hours for the year. 2. Lost Time Rate measures any occupational injury or illness which results in an employee being unable to work a full assigned work shift after an incident per 100 employees. LTR is calculated according to OSHA guidelines as follows: number of Lost Time cases (injury or illness which an employee is unable to work a full assigned work shift as a result of a work-related injury or illness) multiplied by 200,000 productive hours divided by the total number of productive hours for the year. 3. Customer satisfaction score is the company’s raw score from the Escalent Residential Customer survey. The percentile reflects the percentile compared to peer utilities. 4. YTD safety figures are as of 9/30/26. YTD customer satisfaction data is an average of scores for the first three quarters of 2026. 5.

19 Unique Legislative and Legal Protections Limit Economic Exposure to Potential Wildfires ✓ State law establishes liability cap, with amount currently being determined • As directed by Act 258, the PUC is working to determine the amount of an aggregate liability cap on economic damages from future wildfires. The utility’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan, required for asserting the cap, has already been approved by the PUC1 ✓ Wildfire fund determined to be warranted in the future, following establishment of liability cap • In 2025, the PUC completed a study examining establishment and implementation of a wildfire recovery fund. The study concluded that, “a wildfire recovery fund is likely warranted in the future,” and recommended that the liability cap be established first, along with conducting an actuarial study to “determine an appropriate size and structure for a wildfire recovery fund.” ✓ Long-standing Hawaii law provides other unique protections • State law includes protections against non-economic damages, which often make up the bulk of damages awarded in wildfire cases in other states • Hawaii’s “Limitation on pain and suffering” statute states: “Damages recoverable for pain and suffering as defined in section 663- 8.52 shall be limited to a maximum award of $375,000; provided that this limitation shall not apply to tort actions enumerated in section 663-10.9(2),3” capping a significant category of damages in personal injury cases ✓ Favorable Supreme Court ruling helps mitigate wildfire liability by limiting subrogation claims against defendants once the underlying claims against those defendants have been settled ✓ Inverse condemnation has not been applied to utilities for wildfires like it has in California 1. Act 258 requires that the utility, “have a wildfire mitigation plan that is approved by the Commission and shall have sought and received a determination from the Commission that the plan is being implemented on the timeline approved by the Commission.” 2. Pain and suffering is one type of noneconomic damage and means the actual physical pain and suffering that is the proximate result of a physical injury sustained by a person. 3. The torts listed in HRS § 663-10.9(2), are: “(A) Intentional torts; (B) Torts relating to environmental pollution; (C) Toxic and asbestos-related torts; (D) Torts relating to aircraft accidents; (E) Strict and products liability torts; or (F) Torts relating to certain motor vehicle accidents. Act 258 became law in 2025, acknowledging the importance of “protecting the financial integrity of Hawaii’s electric utilities” and “improving the utility's credit rating and lowering costs passed on to customers”

Potential Financial Impacts of Rate Rebasing and Proposed PIMs—Illustrative Revenue Enhancement Opportunities1 25 1. The information on this slide is illustrative only and does not constitute guidance, a forecast, or a commitment or target of the Company. It shows hypothetical financial results that would occur if the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approves, in full and as requested, the Company's pending and proposed rate rebasing and performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs). The PUC may approve, modify, delay, or deny these requests, and actual results could differ materially. 2. Substantially all holding company employees became Hawaiian Electric employees as of the third quarter 2026, and associated costs previously recorded at the holding company began being recorded at the utility. 3.

Actual total costs may differ materially from these estimates and such estimates do not factor in potential insurance coverage. Whether, and to what extent, the Company defers storm costs as a regulatory asset and ultimately recovers from customers depends on a review and approval by the PUC. The Company can give no assurance that recovery will be authorized, or that it will be authorized in the amounts, on the timeline, or on the terms requested. A disallowance or delay could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Status of Key Open Dockets 42 Subject and Description Docket # Latest Developments Next Milestone Performance-Based Regulation Proceeding to evolve regulatory framework to better align with customer interests and state clean energy policy 2018-0088 Beginning in 2024, this docket has focused on (a) whether - and if so, by what process - the utility’s rates should be rebased before the beginning of the next PBR multiyear rate period to commence in 2027 (“MRP2”), and (b) whether modifications to the PBR Framework were warranted for MRP2. On 2/27/2025, the PUC issued an order establishing that the utility may rebase rates with a 2026 test year consolidated rate case type proceeding. On 8/13/2025, the PUC issued an order providing process guidance for development of proposed PBR Framework modifications (PBR proceeding “Phase 6”), including potential party-proposed changes to the Annual Revenue Adjustment (“ARA” mechanism, EPRM mechanism and the PIMs portfolio). On 8/28/2025, the utility filed a request to extend the time to file a rate case to allow collaboration among the PBR Working Group parties on an alternative rate rebasing proposal that could eliminate the need for a general rate case application and process. The PUC approved the request on 9/29/25 and noted that if the parties were unsuccessful in developing an alternative rebasing proposal, or if such a proposal were submitted and rejected by the PUC, the utility can file a 2027 test year rate case type proceeding in the second half of 2026. The PUC also noted that, depending on outcome of the alternative rate rebasing process, the PUC may defer the start of MRP2 beyond January 2027. On 3/6/2026, the utility filed an alternative rebasing proposal jointly with PBR Working Group party Ulupono Initiative. The rebasing request proposed an increase in revenues of $170 million, which represents a consolidated increase of 5.3% compared to total operating revenues at current effective rates.

How Do Separate Recovery Mechanisms Work? • EPRM: Provide specific revenue requirements for each project. Revenues are accrued with minimal lag, starting the first day of the month following project completion ‒ Total revenue requirement (RR) for each project consists of a capital revenue requirement and an expense revenue requirement ‒ RR = O+T+D+r(RB); Operating expenses + taxes + depreciation + return on rate base • Pilot Projects: Intended to foster innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that test new technologies, programs and business models. The utility can submit specific proposals and the PUC will target issuing a decision within 45 days, otherwise the proposal is considered approved as submitted ‒ Allows utility to defer and recover total annual expenditures, subject to an annual cap of $10M, over twelve months 46

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric) and their subsidiaries contain “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions and usually include words such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic, political and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. • Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following: • the potential for further trade policy changes under the current administration could disrupt our supply chains and increase costs, e.g., the Utilities’ capital goods and equipment purchases and those of its independent power producers (IPPs) that contain components, sub-components, or raw materials sources from outside the U.S. could experience increases in costs, which could threaten the viability of projects and impact our ability to meet customer demand and the Utilities’ ability to achieve renewable portfolio standards (RPS) goals; • the impact of the Maui windstorm and wildfires, including potential liabilities in excess of settlement amounts and potential regulatory penalties, which may result in significant costs that may be unrecoverable (or not reimbursed on a timely basis) through insurance and/or rates; • an increase in insurance premiums and the inability to fully recover premiums through rates or the potential inability to obtain wildfire and general liability insurance coverage at reasonable rates, if available at all; • the ability to raise the amount of capital necessary on reasonable terms, if at all, for the Company’s and the Utilities’ contribution to the Maui wildfire tort litigation settlement in order to alleviate future conditions that may cause substantial doubt about HEI’s and the Utilities’ ability to continue as a going concern; • potential further dilution to existing shareholders if the Company raises funds by issuing additional equity or equity-linked securities; • the inability to execute financing plans to alleviate future conditions that may cause substantial doubt about HEI’s and the Utilities’ ability to continue as a going concern prior to the issuance of their respective annual financial statements, which could result in an event of default and an acceleration of the Company’s and the Utilities’ debt and lead to filing for bankruptcy protection if waivers from lenders are not received; • extreme weather events, including windstorms and other natural disasters, particularly those driven or exacerbated by evolving climate dynamics, which could increase the risk of the Utilities’ equipment being damaged, becoming inoperable or contributing to a wildfire; • future suspension, material reduction or extended delay in dividends or other distributions from operating subsidiaries to HEI; • further downgrades by credit rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and their impact on results of financing efforts; • the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured (e.g., damages to the Utilities’ transmission and distribution system and losses from business interruption) or underinsured (e.g., losses not covered as a result of insurance deductibles or other exclusions or exceeding policy limits), and the risks associated with the operation of transmission and distribution assets and power generation facilities, including public and employee safety issues, and assets causing or contributing to wildfires; • international, national and local economic and political conditions—including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries; the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets; decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii; the implications and potential impacts of federal government shutdowns, including the impact to the Utilities’ customers’ ability to pay their electric bills and the impact on the State of Hawaii economy; the implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions; the potential impacts of global and local developments (including global economic conditions and uncertainties, unrest, terrorist acts, wars, conflicts, political protests, deadly virus epidemic or other crisis); the effects of changes that have or may occur in U.S. policy, such as with respect to immigration and trade; and pandemics; • the ability to adequately address risks and capitalize on opportunities related to the Company’s and the Utilities’ sustainab ility priority areas, which include safety, reliability and resilience, including relating to wildfires and other extreme weather events, decarbonization, economic health and affordability, secure digitalization, human capital management, employee engagement, and climate-related risks and opportunities; • citizen activism, including civil unrest, especially in times of severe economic depression and heightened social and political divisions, which could negatively impact customers and employees, impair the ability of the Company and the Utilities to operate and maintain their facilities in an effective and safe manner, and citizen or stakeholder activism that could delay the construction, increase project costs or preclude the completion of third-party or Utility projects that are required to meet electricity demand, resilience and reliability objectives and RPS and other climate-related goals; • the effects of actions or inaction of the U.S. government or related agencies, including those related to the U.S. debt ceiling or budget funding, monetary policy, trade policy, energy and environmental policy, and other policy and regulatory changes advanced or proposed by the current administration;

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements continued • weather, natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, lava flows and the effects of evolving climate dynamics, such as more severe storms, flooding, droughts, heat waves, and rising sea levels) and wildfires, including their impact on the resilience and reliability and cost of the Company’s and Util ities’ operations, and the economy; • the timing, speed and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, which could result in higher borrowing costs and changes in market liquidity; • the continued ability of the Company and the Utilities to access the credit and capital markets to fund necessary investments and expenditures (e.g., to obtain short-term and long-term debt financing, including lines of credit, and, in the case of HEI, to issue common stock) under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the potential higher cost of such financings, if available, and due to the uncertainties associated with the costs related to the Maui windstorm and wildfires; • the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension and other retirement plan assets, and the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension liabilities, including changes driven by stock market values, interest rates and mortality improvements; • changes in laws, regulations (including tax regulations), market conditions, interest rates and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements; • the potential delay by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) proposals related to rate rebasing, performance-based regulation (PBR), wildfire safety, renewable energy or grid resiliency, among others, and related costs; reliance by the Util ities on outside parties such as the State, IPPs and developers; supply-chain challenges; and uncertainties surrounding technologies, solar power, wind power, biofuels, liquefied natural gas, environmental assessments required to meet RPS and other climate-related goals; the impacts of implementation of the wildfire mitigation, renewable energy and resilience proposals on future costs of electricity and potential penalties imposed by the PUC for delays in the commercial operations of renewable energy projects; • the ability of the Utilities to develop, execute and recover the implementation costs of the Utilities’ action plans included in their Integrated Grid Plan, which was accepted by the PUC in 2024, due to the recent issuance of the PUC’s 2024 Inclinations on the Future of Energy in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green’s Executive Order No. 25-01, Accelerating Hawaii’s Transition Toward 100 Percent Renewable Energy, and the Hawaii State Energy Office’s Alternative Fuel, Repowering and Energy Transition Study on the aforementioned plans of the Util ities; • the ability of the Utilities to recover undepreciated cost of fossil fuel generating units, if they are required to be retired before the end of their expected useful life; • capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management, distributed generation, combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand; • high and/or volatile fuel prices, which increases working capital requirements and customer bills, or delivery of adequate fuel by suppliers (including as a result of the Iran war, Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East), which could affect the reliability of utility operations, and the continued availability to the Utilities of their Energy Cost Recovery Clauses (ECRCs); • the continued availability to the Utilities or modifications of other cost recovery mechanisms, including the Purchased Power Adjustment Clauses (PPACs), annual revenue adjustment (ARA) and pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, and the continued decoupling of revenues from sales to mitigate the effects of declining kilowatt-hour sales; • the ability of the Utilities to recover increasing or additional costs (e.g., due to trade policies imposed by the current administration, tariffs, inflation, or other factors impacting prices) and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by the ARA, while providing the customer dividend required by PBR; • the impact from the PUC’s modification of the PBR for the Utilities pursuant to Act 005, Session Laws 2018, including the potential changes to existing and/or addition of new Performance Incentive Mechanisms (PIMs), third-party proposals adopted by the PUC, and the implications of not achieving performance incentive goals; • the impact of fuel price levels and volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the Utilities; • unfavorable changes in economic conditions, such as sustained inflation, higher interest rates or recession, that negatively impact the ability of the Company’s customers to pay their utility bills and increase operating costs of the Utilities that cannot be passed on to, or recovered, from customers; • the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts and related cost impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid; • the growing risk that energy production from renewable generating resources may be curtailed and the interconnection of additional resources will be constrained as more generating resources are added to the Utilities’ electric systems and as customers reduce their energy usage; • the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs); • the potential that, as IPP contracts near the end of their terms, there may be less economic incentive for the IPPs to make investments in their units to ensure the availability of their units; • the ability of the Utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable agreements for significant resources such as fuel supply contracts and collective bargaining agreements and avoid or mitigate labor disputes and work stoppages;

51 Explanation of HEI’s Use of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures HEI management uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of HEI. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information and are a better indicator of the companies’ core operating activities. Core earnings and other financial measures as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and they should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of reported GAAP earnings to non-GAAP Core earnings. The reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to Core earnings are limited to the items related to the Maui wildfires, including the settlement remeasurement and accretion, impacts from HEI’s ownership stake in American Savings Bank, including realized and unrealized gains, and costs related to HEI’s exit from Pacific Current operating businesses. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental Core earnings.
