HONOLULU, HI, April 29, 2026 - Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF) (the "Company"), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank" or "CPB"), today reported net income of $20.7 million, or $0.78 per fully diluted earnings share ("EPS"), for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to net income of $22.9 million, or EPS of $0.85, in the prior quarter and $17.8 million, or EPS of $0.65, in the first quarter last year.
"We delivered strong net income in the first quarter, marked by balance sheet growth, healthy net interest margin, and disciplined expense management,” said Arnold Martines, Chairman, President and CEO. “We are proud to be named as Hawaii SBA lender of the year for the 17th time, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting small businesses in our community. I want to express my sincere appreciation to our employees and customers for their continued dedication and partnership."
Earnings Highlights
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $61.4 million, which decreased by $0.7 million, or 1.2% from the prior quarter, and increased by $3.7 million, or 6.3%, compared to the same quarter last year. Net interest margin ("NIM") for the first quarter of 2026 was 3.53%, a decrease of 3 basis points ("bp" or "bps") from the prior quarter, and an increase of 22 bps from the same quarter last year. The sequential quarter decrease in net interest income and NIM was primarily driven by lower average yields earned on loans, down 6 bps, and investment securities, down 5 bps, partially offset by a 6 bps decrease in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The sequential quarter decrease in net interest income was also due to a $60.0 million decrease in average loans and two less days in the current quarter.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a provision of $2.4 million in the prior quarter, and a provision of $4.2 million in the same quarter last year. The current quarter provision for credit losses included $2.7 million for credit losses on loans offset by a $0.3 million credit for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The decrease from the year ago quarter was primarily driven by lower loan balances and changes in the economic forecast used in our current expected credit losses model.
Other operating income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $11.6 million, compared to $14.2 million in the prior quarter, and $11.1 million in the same quarter last year. The sequential quarter decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance of $2.4 million and lower mortgage banking income of $0.5 million, partially offset by income related to a debit card program contract extension consideration of $0.7 million (included in other income). The decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance was largely driven by $1.4 million in death benefits recognized in the prior quarter, combined with equity market volatility and the impact on corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI") policies used to hedge deferred compensation expense.
Other operating expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $43.7 million, compared to $45.7 million in the prior quarter, and $42.1 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to lower salaries and employee benefits of $1.4 million due to lower incentive accruals and lower deferred compensation expense, along with a reduction in legal and professional services of $0.5 million.
The efficiency ratio was 59.87% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 59.88% in the prior quarter and 61.16% in the same quarter last year.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 23.0%, compared to 18.9% in the prior quarter, and 21.2% in the same quarter last year. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily attributable to additional tax credits recognized in the previous quarter and a decrease in tax-exempt income.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
TABLE 9
To supplement its consolidated financial information, the Company utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP results. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful insight to investors and other stakeholders in understanding its financial performance and position, by excluding certain transactions that may be non-recurring, non-operational, or not indicative of ongoing results. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer a useful perspective for evaluating performance trends over time and are intended to support period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes they are valuable tools for both investors and management in assessing historical results and forecasting future performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were not materially impacted by items outside of the normal course of business.
The Company believes that pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful as a tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations. The following table presents a recalculation of the PPNR for the periods presented.
| Three Months Ended |

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
TABLE 9 (CONTINUED)
A key measure of operating efficiency monitored by the Company is the efficiency ratio, which is derived from GAAP-based amounts. It is calculated by dividing total other operating expenses by total pre-provision revenue (defined as net interest income plus total other operating income). The Company believes that the efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides a useful supplemental metric that enhances understanding of its business performance and operating efficiency. However, this ratio should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP results and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table presents the Company's efficiency ratio for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended |
|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | Mar 31, 2026 | Dec 31, 2025 | Sep 30, 2025 | Jun 30, 2025 | Mar 31, 2025 |
| Total other operating expense | $43,666 | $45,680 | $47,009 | $43,946 | $42,072 |
| Net interest income | $61,358 | $62,087 | $61,301 | $59,796 | $57,699 |
| Total other operating income | 11,574 | 14,201 | 13,507 | 13,013 | 11,096 |
| Total revenue | $72,932 | $76,288 | $74,808 | $72,809 | $68,795 |
| Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) | 59.87% | 59.88% | 62.84% | 60.36% | 61.16% |
The table below presents the Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, as of the dates indicated. The TCE ratio is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by tangible assets.
| (dollars in thousands) | Mar 31, 2026 | Dec 31, 2025 | Sep 30, 2025 | Jun 30, 2025 | Mar 31, 2025 |
| Total equity | $593,879 | $592,581 | $588,066 | $568,874 | $557,376 |
| Less: Intangible assets | - | - | - | - | - |
| TCE | $593,879 | $592,581 | $588,066 | $568,874 | $557,376 |
| Total assets | $7,495,363 | $7,409,241 | $7,421,478 | $7,369,567 | $7,405,239 |
| Less: Intangible assets | - | - | - | - | - |
| Tangible assets | $7,495,363 | $7,409,241 | $7,421,478 | $7,369,567 | $7,405,239 |
| TCE ratio (non-GAAP) | 7.92% | 8.00% | 7.92% | 7.72% | 7.53% |
