Bank of Hawaii reported total net income of US$64.3 million for the third quarter of 2026 and diluted earnings per common share of US$1.49. Its 26 October release also disclosed an additional US$200 million of share-buyback authority and a US$0.70 common dividend. The authorization is not evidence that the additional money has been spent.
The quarter and the income labels
The figures cover the three months ended 30 September 2026. Total net income increased 0.7% from the preceding quarter, when diluted common EPS was US$1.47. Net income available to common shareholders was a separate US$58.989 million. It must not be substituted for the US$64.258 million total, rounded to US$64.3 million in the announcement.
| Measure | Three months ended 30 September 2026 | Primary evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Total net income | US$64.258 million, rounded to US$64.3 million | Financial Highlights, Table 1a |
| Net income available to common shareholders | US$58.989 million | Financial Highlights, Table 1a |
| Diluted common EPS | US$1.49 | Financial Highlights, Table 1a |
| Net interest margin | 2.82%, up 4 basis points from the preceding quarter | Financial Highlights narrative |
EPS means earnings per share. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point. The company attributed margin expansion to asset repricing, partly offset by deposit-mix changes; this is the issuer’s explanation, not an independently established market driver.
Buybacks and the common dividend
The bank actually repurchased about 256,000 common shares for US$20.2 million during Q3. Remaining authority was US$68.7 million at 30 September. After the quarter ended, the board increased that authority by US$200 million to US$268.7 million. The distinction separates completed spending from capacity for possible future repurchases.

|---|---|---|
| Q3 common-share repurchases | US$20.2 million | Executed during Q3; Capital and Dividends |
| Additional repurchase authorization | US$200 million; remaining authority becomes US$268.7 million | Board authorization after quarter-end, not executed purchases; Capital and Dividends |
| Quarterly common cash dividend | US$0.70 per common share | Declared by the board; Capital and Dividends |
| Common-dividend record date | Close of business, 30 November 2026 | Shareholders of record on this date; issuer eligibility wording |
| Common-dividend payment date | 14 December 2026 | Payable on this date, not already paid; issuer timetable |
| Common-dividend ex-date | Not specified in the reviewed release | No date inferred from the record date; reviewed release |
The credit-quality caveat
Non-performing assets rose to US$43.4 million from about US$11.5 million in the preceding quarter. The issuer attributed the increase mainly to one commercial mortgage placed on non-accrual status because of borrower-specific circumstances. Its view that this did not signal wider deterioration is a management assessment, not independent verification. The increase remains relevant alongside the profit and distribution figures.
