Central Pacific Financial Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter Net Income of $18.8 Million

    HONOLULU, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Central Pacific Financial
Corp. (NYSE: CPF), parent company of Central Pacific Bank, today reported
net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 of $18.8 million, or $0.61 per
diluted share, compared to $19.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share
reported in the fourth quarter of 2005 and $20.6 million, or $0.67 per
diluted share reported in the third quarter of 2006. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, CPF reported net income of $79.2 million, or $2.57 per
diluted share, compared to $72.5 million, or $2.38 per diluted share in
2005.
    Operating earnings, defined as the Company's net income excluding
nonrecurring merger-related expenses, net of tax, for 2006 was $79.2
million, or $2.57 per diluted share, as compared to $75.8 million, or $2.49
per diluted share in 2005. There were no nonrecurring merger-related
expenses in 2006, compared to $3.3 million, net of tax, in 2005. Net income
for the fourth quarter of 2006 reflected an after-tax charge of $0.9
million, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the previously announced
investment portfolio repositioning of $109 million in available-for-sale
investment securities, a $1.1 million tax charge, or $0.03 per diluted
share, for income tax liability adjustments, and a $0.5 million after-tax
charge, or $0.02 per diluted share, for adjustments to employee
benefit-related liabilities. The full-year net income for 2006 also
included an after-tax charge of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share,
in retirement expenses for a former senior executive recorded in the first
quarter of 2006.
    Fourth Quarter Highlights

    *  Quarterly net income of $18.8 million.
    *  Loans and leases increased by $293.3 million or 8.3% from a year ago.
    *  Nonperforming assets to total assets improved to 0.16%, compared to
       0.24% a year ago.
    *  Deposits increased by $202.2 million or 5.6% from a year ago.
    "Central Pacific closed 2006 with another strong quarter, with loan
growth of $80.9 million, deposit growth of $62.6 million, and net income of
$18.8 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.61," commented Clint
Arnoldus, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased that we
have achieved solid growth in loans and deposits over the past year, while
at the same time maintaining a strong credit discipline. We have also made
significant strides in our Bank Secrecy Act remediation efforts and expect
to be in full compliance by mid-year."
    Earnings Highlights
    Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $53.4 million,
an increase of 2.2% over the fourth quarter of 2005 and 0.6% over the third
quarter of 2006. The year-over-year growth in net interest income was
attributable to a 6.5% increase in average interest earning assets. The net
interest margin was 4.49% for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 4.56%
in the third quarter of 2006 and 4.69% in the fourth quarter of 2005. The
net interest margin compression in the fourth quarter of 2006 reflects the
upward pricing of deposits and borrowings and the higher proportion of
balances in higher-rate savings and time deposits.
    There was no provision for loan and lease losses in the fourth quarter
of 2006, compared to $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and $0.3
million in the third quarter of 2006, reflecting the improvement in asset
quality over the prior year.
    Other operating income totaled $9.5 million for the fourth quarter of
2006, compared to $11.5 million in the year-ago quarter and $10.5 million
in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease from the prior periods was
primarily due to the $1.5 million loss recognized on the previously
announced investment portfolio repositioning in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The comparison to the year-ago quarter also reflects declines in
residential loan sale activity. Mortgage origination activity for the
fourth quarter of 2006 increased by 23% compared to the previous quarter
but reflected a 37% decline from the year-ago quarter.
    Other operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $35.7
million, compared to $32.8 million in the same quarter last year and $31.2
million in the third quarter of 2006. Fourth quarter 2006 expenses
reflected two adjustments totaling $0.9 million for certain employee
benefit accrual adjustments. Stock option expensing, reduced loan
origination cost deferrals and increases in advertising and professional
fees combined to further increase fourth quarter operating expenses, offset
by a decline in core deposit premium amortization. On a sequential-quarter
basis, salaries and employee benefits increased due to higher incentive
compensation expense and other expenses increased due in part to a third
quarter 2006 reversal of reserves for unfunded commitments.
    The Company's efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2006 was
53.40%, compared with 48.42% for the year-ago quarter and 47.03% for the
third quarter of 2006. The higher efficiency ratio is attributed largely to
the increase in operating expenses as discussed above and, when compared to
the prior year, to the decline in mortgage origination revenue.
    The effective tax rate was 30.81% for the current quarter, compared to
35.34% in the year-ago quarter and 35.86% in the third quarter of 2006. In
the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company made high-technology investments
and energy conservation leases which resulted in $1.4 million in net
federal and state tax credits, which were partially offset by $1.1 million
in income tax liability adjustments.
    Balance Sheet Highlights
    Total assets increased to $5.5 billion at December 31, 2006, compared
to $5.2 billion at year-end 2005 and $5.4 billion at September 30, 2006.
    Total loans and leases of $3.8 billion at December 31, 2006 increased
by $293.3 million, or 8.3%, from a year ago and by $80.9 million, or 2.1%,
from September 30, 2006. The mainland loan production offices contributed
approximately 50% of the loan growth during the fourth quarter of 2006,
while the other 50% of growth came from our Hawaii operations.
    Total deposits of $3.8 billion at December 31, 2006 increased by $202.2
million, or 5.6%, from a year ago and by $62.6 million, or 1.7%, from
September 30, 2006. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2006 was
attributable to organic growth in all deposit categories, particularly
noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
    Shareholders' equity of $738.1 million at December 31, 2006, increased
from $676.2 million a year ago and from $722.9 million at September 30,
2006.
    Asset Quality
    Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2006 totaled $0.3
million, compared to net loan charge-offs of $0.8 million in the year-ago
period and $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. Loan charge-offs in
the fourth quarter of 2006 included a $1.5 million partial charge-off of a
commercial loan, the balance of which was transferred to nonaccrual status,
while loan recoveries during the quarter included $1.9 million in
commercial mortgage and commercial loan recoveries from a single borrower.
    At year-end 2006, nonperforming assets totaled $9.0 million, or 0.16%
of total assets, compared to $12.6 million or 0.24% of total assets at
year-end 2005 and $8.0 million or 0.15% of total assets at September 30,
2006. Loans delinquent for 90 days or more of $0.9 million declined by
88.5% from a year ago and by 67.6% from the previous quarter. The increase
in nonperforming assets during the fourth quarter of 2006 reflects the
addition of a $3.5 million commercial loan (discussed above), offset by the
full payoff of a $2.6 million commercial mortgage loan.
    The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans
and leases was 1.36% at December 31, 2006, compared to 1.49% a year ago and
1.40% at September 30, 2006. "Our allowance for loan and lease losses
reflects our solid asset quality and the continued economic strength in our
markets," commented Arnoldus.
    Business and Earnings Outlook
    Based on current and anticipated economic and business conditions,
management is forecasting diluted earnings per share for 2007 in the range
of $2.80 to $2.90.
    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    This press release contains certain references to financial measures
identified as being stated on an operating basis or which adjust for or
exclude nonrecurring merger-related expenses, which are adjustments from
comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
These financial measures, as used herein, differ from financial measures
reported under GAAP in that they exclude unusual or non-recurring charges,
losses, credits or gains. This press release identifies the specific items
excluded from the comparable GAAP financial measure in the calculation of
each non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that financial
presentations excluding the impact of these items provide useful
supplemental information that is important to a proper understanding of the
Company's core business results by investors. These presentations should
not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with
GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures
presented by other companies.
