Part I


Item 1. Business

General

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the "Parent") is a Delaware corporation and a bank holding company ("BHC") headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The Parent's principal and only operating subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii (the "Bank"), was organized on December 17, 1897 and is chartered by the State of Hawaii. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB").

The Bank provides a broad range of financial services and products primarily to customers in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam, nearby islands, and American Samoa). References to "we," "our," "us," or "the Company" refer to the holding company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

The Bank's subsidiaries include Bank of Hawaii Leasing, Inc., Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., Pacific Century Life Insurance Corporation, Triad Insurance Agency, Inc., Bank of Hawaii Insurance Services, Inc., Pacific Century Insurance Services, Inc., Bankoh Investment Partners, LLC, and Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. The Bank's subsidiaries are engaged in equipment leasing, securities brokerage and investment services, and insurance and insurance agency services.

We are aligned into four business segments for management reporting purposes: Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services, and Treasury. See Table 9 of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation ("MD&A") and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Information on the Bank's limited foreign activities is presented in Table 14 of MD&A.

Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports can be found free of charge on our website at http://www.boh.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The SEC maintains a website, http://www.sec.gov, which contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines; charters of the Audit Committee, the Executive and Strategic Planning Committee, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available on our website. Upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at 130 Merchant Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96813, this information is available in print form.

The Parent's other subsidiaries include BOHC Investment Fund, LLC (the "Fund") and Bancorp Hawaii Capital Trust I (the "Trust"). The Fund was organized in September 2007, to invest in and hold securities of Qualified High Technology Businesses, as defined in the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The Trust, a grantor trust, was organized to issue trust preferred securities.

We have included the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 of this report. Additionally, we filed with the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") the Chief Executive Officer certification regarding our compliance with the NYSE's Corporate Governance Listing Standards (the "Listing Standards") pursuant to Section 303A.12(a) of the Listing Standards. The certification was dated May 20, 2007 and indicated that the Chief Executive Officer was not aware of any violations of the Listing Standards by the Company.

Competition

We are subject to substantial competition from banks, savings associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, finance companies, mutual funds, brokerage firms, insurance companies, and other providers of financial services, including financial service subsidiaries of commercial and manufacturing companies. We also compete with non-financial

2



institutions that offer financial products and services. Some of our competitors are not subject to the same level of regulation and oversight that is required of banks and BHCs. As a result, some of our competitors may have lower cost structures. Also, some of our competitors, through alternative delivery channels such as the internet, may be based outside of the markets that we serve. Our extensive branch network, exceptional service levels, and knowledge of local trends and conditions contribute to our competitive advantage.

Supervision and Regulation

We are extensively regulated under both federal and state laws. The following information describes significant laws and regulations applicable to us. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently raised in Congress, in state legislatures, and with the various bank regulatory agencies. A change in applicable laws or regulations, or a change in the way such laws or regulations are interpreted by regulatory agencies or courts, may have a material impact on our business, operations, and earnings.

The Parent

The Parent is registered as a BHC under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), and is subject to the supervision of and to examination by the Board of Governors of the FRB. The Parent is also registered as a financial institution holding company under the Hawaii Code of Financial Institutions (the "Code") and is subject to the registration, reporting, and examination requirements of the Code.

The BHC Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, a BHC from acquiring beneficial ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company, including a bank, without the FRB's prior approval. The Act also prohibits a BHC from engaging in any activity other than banking, managing or controlling banks or other subsidiaries authorized under the BHC Act, or furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries.

Under FRB policy, a BHC is expected to serve as a source of financial and management strength to its subsidiary bank. A BHC is also expected to commit resources to support its subsidiary bank in circumstances where it might not do so absent such a policy. Under this policy, a BHC is expected to stand ready to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary bank during periods of financial adversity and to maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary bank.

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act, banks and bank holding companies from any state are permitted to acquire banks located in any other state, subject to certain conditions, including certain nationwide and state-imposed deposit concentration limits. The Bank also has the ability, subject to certain restrictions, to acquire branches outside its home state by acquisition or merger. The establishment of new interstate branches is also possible in those states with laws that expressly permit de novo branching. Because the Code permits de novo branching by out-of-state banks, those banks may establish new branches in Hawaii. Interstate branches are subject to certain laws of the states in which they are located.

Under the BHC Act, a BHC may elect to become a financial holding company and thereby engage in a broader range of financial and other activities than are permissible for traditional BHCs. In order to qualify for the election, all of the depository institution subsidiaries of the BHC must be well capitalized and well managed. Additionally, all of its insured depository institution subsidiaries must have achieved a rating of "satisfactory" or better under the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA"). Financial holding companies are permitted to engage in activities that are "financial in nature"; activities incidental to or complementary of the financial activities of traditional BHCs, as determined by the FRB. The Parent has not elected to become a financial holding company.

Bank of Hawaii

The Bank is subject to supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs ("DCCA"), Division of Financial Institutions. The Bank is subject to extensive federal and state regulations that significantly affect business and activities. Regulatory bodies have broad authority

3



to implement standards and to initiate proceedings designed to prohibit depository institutions from engaging in activities that represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or constitute violations of applicable laws, rules, regulations, administrative orders, or written agreements with regulators. The standards relate generally to operations and management, asset quality, interest rate exposure, capital, and executive compensation. The agencies are authorized to take action against institutions that fail to meet such standards, including the assessment of civil monetary penalties, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders, and other actions.

Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., the broker dealer subsidiary of the Bank, is incorporated in Hawaii and is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the DCCA's Business Registration Division. The insurance subsidiaries, Bank of Hawaii Insurance Services, Inc., Triad Insurance Agency, Inc., and Pacific Century Insurance Services, Inc., are incorporated in Hawaii and are regulated by the DCCA's Division of Insurance. Pacific Century Life Insurance Corporation is incorporated in Arizona and is regulated by the State of Arizona Department of Insurance.

Capital Requirements

The federal bank regulatory agencies have issued substantially similar risk-based capital ratio and leverage capital ratio guidelines applicable to BHCs and the banks they supervise. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings, and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles ("Tier 1 Capital"). The remainder may consist of certain subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, and a limited amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses ("Tier 2 Capital") and, together with Tier 1 Capital, equals total capital ("Total Capital"). Risk weighted assets are calculated by taking assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items and assigning them to one of several broad risk categories. The risk categories are assigned according to the obligor, or, if relevant, to the guarantor, or to the nature of the collateral. The aggregate dollar value of the amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category.

BHCs and banks are also required to maintain minimum leverage ratios established by the federal bank regulatory agencies. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital to adjusted quarterly average assets equal to 3% for BHCs and banks that have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other BHCs and banks will generally be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for capital ratios for the Company and the Bank.

The risk-based capital standards identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional banking activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agencies in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that exposure to a decline in the economic value of an institution's capital due to changes in interest rates is a factor to be considered in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. We do not believe that consideration of these additional factors will affect the regulator's assessment of the Parent's or the Bank's capital position.

Dividend Restrictions

The Parent is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The Parent's principal source of funds to pay dividends on its common stock and to service its debt is dividends from the Bank. Various federal and state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends the Bank may pay to the Parent without regulatory approval. The FRB is authorized to determine the circumstances when the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit such payments. The right of the Parent, its shareholders, and creditors, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of its subsidiaries, is also subject to the prior claims of creditors of those subsidiaries.

For information regarding the limitations on the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Parent, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Transactions with Affiliates

Under federal law, the Bank is subject to restrictions that limit the transfer of funds or other items of value to the Parent, and any other non-bank affiliates in so-called "covered transactions." In general, covered transactions include loans, leases, other extensions of credit, investments and asset purchases, as well as other transactions involving the transfer of value from the Bank to an affiliate or for the benefit of an affiliate. Unless an exemption applies, 1) covered transactions by the Bank with a single affiliate are limited to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus, and 2) with respect to all covered transactions with affiliates in the aggregate, to 20% of the Bank's capital and surplus.

FDIC Insurance

The Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC insures deposit accounts in the Bank generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor, and up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor for certain retirement accounts. FDIC-insured depository institutions are required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk an institution poses to the DIF. The current annual risk based assessment rates range from $0.05 per $100 of domestic deposits for well-managed, well capitalized banks with the highest credit ratings, to $0.43 per $100 of domestic deposits for institutions posing the most risk to the DIF. The FDIC may increase or decrease the assessment rate schedule quarterly. The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 ("FDIRA") provided for a one-time assessment credit to be allocated among member institutions. As of December 31, 2007, the remaining assessment credit available to offset our future deposit insurance assessments was $6.5 million.

In addition to DIF assessments, all FDIC-insured depository institutions must pay an annual assessment to provide funds for the repayment of debt obligations of the Financing Corporation. The Financing Corporation is a government-sponsored entity that was formed to borrow the money necessary to carry out the closing and ultimate disposition of failed thrift institutions by the Resolution Trust Corporation. As of January 1, 2008, the annualized rate of risk-adjusted deposits, established by the FDIC for all DIF-assessable deposits was 1.14 basis points. For 2007, the Bank's Financing Corporation insurance assessment expense was approximately $1.0 million.

The FDIRA also provides that, in the event of the liquidation or insolvency of an insured depository institution, the claims of depositors and the FDIC, where the FDIC succeeds to the claims of depositors or has been appointed as a receiver, will be afforded priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") the federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. FDICIA identifies five capital categories for insured depository institutions: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized." Under regulations established by the federal banking agencies, a "well capitalized" institution must have a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6%, a Total Capital Ratio of at least 10%, a Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, and not be subject to a capital directive order. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank was classified as "well capitalized." The classification of a depository institution under FDICIA is primarily for the purpose of applying the federal banking agencies' prompt corrective action provisions, and is not intended to be, nor should it be interpreted as, a representation of the overall financial condition or the prospects of any financial institution.

The federal banking agencies' prompt corrective action powers impose progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management and capital distributions, depending on the category in which an institution is classified. These actions can include: requiring an insured depository institution to adopt a capital restoration plan guaranteed by the institution's parent company; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities, including restrictions on transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rates the institution may pay on deposits; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated

5



debt; prohibiting the holding company from making capital distributions without prior regulatory approval; and, ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.

As required by FDICIA, the federal banking agencies also have adopted guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, and compensation and benefits. The federal regulatory agencies may take action against a financial institution that does not meet such standards.

Community Reinvestment and Consumer Protection Laws

In connection with its lending activities, the Bank is subject to a number of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. These include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the CRA. In addition, federal banking regulators, pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, have enacted regulations limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic consumer information to non-affiliated third parties. The regulations require disclosure of privacy policies and allow consumers to prevent certain personal information from being shared with non-affiliated parties.

The CRA requires the appropriate federal banking agency, in connection with its examination of a bank, to assess the bank's record in meeting the credit needs of the communities served by the bank, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. Under the CRA, institutions are assigned a rating of "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve," or "substantial non-compliance." The Bank received an "outstanding" rating in its most recent CRA evaluation.

Bank Secrecy Act / Anti-Money Laundering Laws

The Bank is subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act substantially broadened the scope of United States anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant new compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. These laws and regulations require the Bank to implement policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. Violations of these requirements can result in substantial civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution's anti-money laundering activities when reviewing bank mergers and BHC acquisitions.

Employees

As of January 31, 2008, we had approximately 2,600 employees.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our financial results and condition to differ materially from expected results.

Changes in business and economic conditions, in particular those of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam, nearby islands, and American Samoa) could lead to lower revenue, lower asset quality, and lower earnings.

Our business and earnings are closely tied to general business and economic conditions, particularly the economies of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. These economies are heavily influenced by tourism, real estate, government, and other service-based industries. Factors that could affect the general economy include geopolitical risks, such as real or threatened acts of war or terrorism, higher energy costs, reduced consumer or corporate spending, natural disasters or adverse weather, public health issues, and the normal cyclical nature of the economy. A sustained economic downturn could adversely affect the quality of our assets, credit losses, and the demand for our products and services, which could lead to lower revenue and lower earnings. We continually monitor changes in the economy, including level of visitor arrivals, changes in housing prices, and unemployment rates. We also

6



monitor the value of collateral, such as real estate, that secures loans we have made. A decline in the value of collateral could also reduce a customer's borrowing power.

Changes in interest rates could adversely impact our results of operations.

Our earnings are highly dependent on the spread between the interest earned on loans, leases, and investment securities and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Changes in market interest rates impact the rates earned on loans, leases, and investment securities and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings. In addition, changes to market interest rates could impact the level of loans, leases, investment securities, deposits, and borrowings, and the credit profile of existing loans and leases. Interest rates are affected by many factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, and the monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. Changes in interest rates may negatively impact our ability to attract deposits, originate loans and leases, and achieve satisfactory interest rate spreads which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Credit losses may increase due to weaker economic conditions.

The risk of nonpayment of loans and leases is inherent in all lending activities. We maintain a reserve for credit losses to absorb estimated probable credit losses inherent in the loan, lease, and commitment portfolios as of the balance sheet date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the loan and lease portfolio, in determining the level of the reserve for credit losses. Many of these assumptions are based on economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect or economic conditions change, the reserve for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover losses, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Many of our loans are secured by real estate in Hawaii and Guam. If these locations experience an economic downturn that impacts real estate values and customers' ability to repay, loan and lease losses could exceed the estimates that are currently included in the reserve for credit losses.

Our operations are subject to extensive regulation.

Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental authorities. The regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, customers and the banking system as a whole and not for the protection of shareholders. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could lead to penalties and damage to our reputation. Furthermore, the regulatory environment is constantly undergoing change and the impact of changes to laws and regulations, the interpretation of such laws or regulations, or other actions by regulatory agencies could make regulatory compliance more difficult or expensive.

Competition may adversely affect our business.

Our future depends on our ability to compete effectively. We compete for deposits, loans, leases, and other financial services with a variety of competitors, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, mortgage companies, broker dealers, and insurance companies all of which may be based in or out of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. Failures to effectively compete, innovate, and make effective use of available channels to deliver our products and services could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Our liquidity is dependent on dividends from the Bank.

The Parent is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank. The Parent receives substantially all of its cash in the form of dividends from the Bank. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on the Parent's common stock. Various federal and state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Parent. If the amount of dividends paid by the Bank is further limited, the Parent's ability to meet its obligations, pay dividends to shareholders, or repurchase stock, may be further limited.

7


An interruption or breach in security of our information systems may result in a loss of customers.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. In addition, we rely on third parties to provide key components of our infrastructure, including loan, deposit and general ledger processing, internet connections, and network access. Any disruption in service of these key components could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers and otherwise to conduct our operations. Furthermore, security breaches of our information systems or data, whether managed by us or by third parties, could harm our reputation or cause a decrease in the number of customers that choose to do business with us.

Negative public opinion could damage our reputation and adversely impact our earnings.

Reputational risk, or the risk to our business, earnings and capital from negative public opinion could result from our actual or alleged conduct in a variety of areas, including legal and regulatory compliance, lending practices, corporate governance, litigation, ethical issues, or inadequate protection of customer information. We expend significant resources to comply with regulatory requirements. Failure to comply could result in reputational harm or significant legal or remedial costs. Damage to our reputation could adversely affect our ability to retain and attract new customers.

Changes in income tax laws or interpretations or in accounting standards could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in income tax laws could be enacted or interpretations of existing income tax laws could change causing an adverse effect to our financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations. Some of these policies require use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets, liabilities, and financial results. Periodically, new accounting standards are imposed or existing standards are revised, changing the methods for preparing our financial statements.

Our performance depends on attracting and retaining key employees and skilled personnel to operate our business effectively.

There are a limited number of qualified personnel in the markets we serve, so our success depends in part on the continued services of many of our current management and other key employees. Hawaii's low unemployment rate contributes to the difficulty of attracting and retaining qualified employees at all levels. Failure to retain our key employees and maintain adequate staffing of qualified personnel, could adversely impact our operations and our ability to compete.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements concerning, among other things, the economic and business environment in our service area and elsewhere, credit quality, and other financial and business matters in future periods. Our forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, any of which could prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those projected because of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: 1) general economic conditions are less favorable than expected; 2) competitive pressure among financial services and products; 3) the impact of legislation and the regulatory environment; 4) fiscal and monetary policies of the markets in which we operate; 5) actual or alleged conduct which could harm our reputation; 6) changes in accounting standards; 7) changes in tax laws or regulations or the interpretation of such laws and regulations; 8) changes in our credit quality or risk profile that may increase or decrease the required level of our reserve for credit losses; 9) changes in market interest rates that may affect our credit markets and ability to maintain our net interest margin; 10) unpredicted costs and other consequences of legal or regulatory matters involving the Company; 11) changes to the amount and timing of proposed common stock repurchases; and 12) geopolitical risk, military or terrorist activity, natural disaster, adverse weather, public health, and other conditions impacting us and our customers' operations. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Part I of this report. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not exclusive means of identifying such statements. We do not undertake an obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect later events or circumstances.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. The most significant accounting policies we follow are presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Application of these principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that require assumptions or judgments to be made based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates. Those policies have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than reported if there is a change to any of the estimates, assumptions, or judgments made by us. Based on the potential impact to the financial statements of the valuation methods, estimates, assumptions, and judgments used, we identified the determination of the reserve for credit losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, the valuation of leased asset residual values, the valuation of pension and postretirement benefit obligations, and the determination of income tax expense and liability to be the accounting estimates that are the most subjective or judgmental.

Reserve for Credit Losses

A consequence of lending activities is that we may incur losses. The amount of such losses will vary, depending upon the risk characteristics of the loan and lease portfolio as affected by economic conditions, including rising interest rates, and the financial performance of borrowers. The reserve for credit losses consists of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the "Allowance") and a Reserve for Unfunded Commitments (the "Unfunded Reserve"). The reserve for credit losses provides for credit losses inherent in lending or committing to lend and is based on loss estimates derived from a comprehensive quarterly evaluation, reflecting analyses of individual borrowers and historical loss experience, supplemented as necessary by credit judgment to address observed changes in trends, conditions, and other relevant environmental and economic factors. The Allowance provides for probable and estimable losses inherent in our loan

13



and lease portfolio. The Allowance is increased or decreased through the provisioning process. There is no exact method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular segments of the loan and lease portfolio.

Our determination of the amount of the reserve for credit losses is a critical accounting estimate as it requires the use of estimates and significant judgment as to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, estimated loss rates on homogenous portfolios, and deliberation on economic factors and trends. On a quarterly basis, an evaluation of specific individual commercial borrowers is performed to identify impaired loans and leases. Also, on a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and approves the reserve for credit losses prior to final affirmation by the Board of Directors. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the reserve for credit losses.

Valuation of Mortgage Servicing Rights

When mortgage loans are sold with servicing rights retained, a servicing asset is established and accounted for based on estimated fair values. An estimated fair value is used because there is no quoted or established market for valuation of mortgage servicing rights. The estimated fair value is determined using discounted cash flow modeling techniques, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, loan repayment rates, costs to service, and interest rates that reflect the risk involved. Our estimates of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are sensitive to changes in the underlying estimates and assumptions. Had we assumed lower long-term interest rates and higher loan repayment rates, the estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights could have been lower than recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Condition. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on mortgage servicing rights.

Valuation of Leased Asset Residual Values

Lease financing receivables include a residual value component, which represents the estimated value of leased assets upon lease expiration. Our determination of residual value is derived from a variety of sources, including equipment valuation services, appraisals, and publicly available market data on recent sales transactions on similar equipment. The length of time until lease termination, the cyclical nature of equipment values, and the limited marketplace for re-sale of certain leased assets, are important variables considered in making this determination. We update our valuation analysis on an annual basis, or more often when events or circumstances warrant. When we determine that the fair value is lower than the expected residual value at lease expiration, the difference is recognized as an asset impairment in the period in which the analysis is completed. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the residual value of leased assets.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations

Our pension and postretirement benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost are actuarially determined based on the following key assumptions:

Our determination of the pension and postretirement benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost is a critical accounting estimate as it requires the use of estimates and judgment related to the amount and timing of expected future cash out-flows for benefit payments and cash in-flows for maturities and return on plan assets. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to mortality rates and future health care costs could also have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. The discount rate is used to determine the present value of future benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost. The discount rate used to value the future benefit obligation as of each year-end is the rate used to determine the periodic benefit cost in the following year.

The estimated pension and postretirement net periodic benefit cost for 2008 is $1.4 million, based on an assumed discount rate of 6.85%. The following table presents a sensitivity analysis of a 25 basis

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our pension and postretirement benefit plans.

Income Taxes

We determine our liabilities for income taxes based on current tax regulation and interpretations in tax jurisdictions where our income is subject to taxation. Currently, we file tax returns in nine federal, state and local domestic jurisdictions, and four foreign jurisdictions. In estimating income taxes payable or receivable, we assess the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment considering statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of each tax position. Accordingly, previously estimated liabilities are regularly reevaluated and adjusted, through the provision for income taxes.

Changes in the estimate of income taxes payable or receivable occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax law, the status of examinations being conducted by various taxing authorities, and newly enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that impact the relative merits and risks of each tax position. These changes, when they occur, affect accrued income taxes and can be significant to our operating results. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on income taxes.

Overview

We are a regional financial services company serving individuals, families, businesses, and governments in Hawaii and other Pacific Islands. Our main operating subsidiary, the Bank, was organized on December 17, 1897 and is chartered by the State of Hawaii.

Our Vision:

"Exceptional people building exceptional value for
our customers, our island communities,
our shareholders, and each other."

Our Governing Objective:

"Maximize shareholder value over time."

In striving to fulfill our vision and governing objective, in January 2007 we introduced our 2007+ Plan ("Plan") to our shareholders, customers, and employees. Our Plan consists of five strategic themes:

• Growth • Integration • People

• Brand • Discipline

Growth

Our strategy for growth is to focus on the Hawaii market. Specific initiatives include introducing new products, services and delivery processes, enhanced services, and our improved sales culture. We implemented customer retention initiatives, and built our deposit and loan strategies on integration and brand strengths. A stronger brand identity and full integration will help achieve success beyond that which is possible by independent business units. Near-term growth opportunities are seen to be particularly attractive within the area of investment services. In addition, shareholder value will be further enhanced through growth in our core deposit base.

Integration

In order to continue our integration of products and services, we strive to find a proper balance between incentive initiatives that reward success at the company level as well as the business unit levels but always approaching the customer as one bank. Integration will involve products and services,

15



financial expertise, and delivery channels that will make organizational boundaries transparent to customers.

Our integration strategy involves identifying inter-segment operating efficiencies and developing new customer-centric products designed for easy use and efficiency, replicating high growth products, services and processes across the company and evolving a simpler structure to meet customers' needs and maximize the benefits of integration. Specifically, we intend to measure cross-sell success while reducing redundant products and services that exist in multiple business units.

People

Hiring, developing, retaining, and rewarding talented people is important to fulfilling our "vision." Areas of focus for the coming years will include: leadership excellence, talent acquisition, enhancing our positive work environment, and recognizing and rewarding talent.

Our strategy involves ongoing efforts to strengthen leadership excellence. "Pathways to Leadership Excellence" is the primary developmental program to build leadership talent for the future. An incentive system designed to encourage cooperation and integration among our business units helps to align goals with successful customer outcomes.

Brand

A special emphasis is placed on the element of "brand" since our brand serves to differentiate us from our competitors. Consistently living up to our brand promise is essential for attracting clients, building relationships, and growing our business. Our brand promise states:

"At Bank of Hawaii, we understand who you are and
help you achieve what you aspire to be."

This promise to our customers is supported by key principles: safety and soundness, service, personal relationships, community, and stature.

Our ability to deliver on our brand promise directly impacts customer satisfaction, depth of relationship, and retention.

Safety and soundness as well as service are considered "cost of entry" and expected of any business in the financial services industry. Personal relationships, community, and stature are what we consider "business winning" attributes that can distinguish us in the marketplace. Managing the brand is a continuous long-term business practice, not a short-term tactic. We believe our brand can lead to our customers' trust, loyalty, and advocacy as well as enhance shareholder value.

Discipline

Discipline entails not only a balanced approach to managing risk and comparing actual performance to forecasts, but also emphasizing our performance to deliver stable long-term results to our shareholders.

Meeting the financial goals of our Plan will require balanced management with growth in the near-term coming from in-market initiatives. Discipline is integral to maintaining our earnings stream and asset quality. Discipline creates a low risk profile and results in low earnings volatility while maintaining our prudent investment perception. We believe discipline entails emphasizing company performance over individual business unit results and aligning individual incentives with company goals. It also entails avoiding short-term initiatives with tangible gains if they involve risks that sacrifice long-term growth or expose us to unnecessary risk. Activities include providing sufficient resources in the areas of finance, risk, compliance, legal, and governance and making these resources available to business unit managers. We are continuing to develop and strengthen our compliance culture as well as develop new reporting methods designed to assess business unit performance quickly and effectively.

Plan Financial Objectives and Earnings Summary

Our Plan is based on moderate growth in revenues and consistent, positive operating leverage, and does not contemplate near-term expansion beyond our current footprint.

Net Interest Income

We earn net interest income when interest income on earning assets, primarily loans, leases, and investment securities, exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and other funding sources. The amount of net interest income is affected by both changes in interest rates (rate) and the amount and composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (volume).

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased by $7.4 million or 2% in 2007 from 2006, primarily due to increased funding costs. Rates paid on savings and time deposit accounts increased in 2007, reflecting the full effects of a rising interest rate environment during 2006. The increase in our funding costs in 2007 was also affected by an increase in average time deposit balances as some customers shifted their balances from noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts into higher yielding time deposit accounts. Partially offsetting the increase in funding costs was an

19



increase in yields on investment securities and loans and leases, as well as higher average loan balances in substantially all categories.

Net interest margin decreased by 17 basis points in 2007 from 2006, primarily due to the prolonged effects of the inverted or flat yield curve.

Average loans and leases increased by $192.4 million or 3% in 2007 from 2006, with growth in substantially all loan categories. Yields on total loans and leases increased by 12 basis points in 2007 from 2006. Average balances in investment securities declined slightly in 2007 from 2006; however, yields on investment securities increased by 23 basis points as a result of reinvestment in higher yielding investment securities as well as a decrease in the level of prepayments.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $280.0 million or 4% in 2007 from 2006, primarily due to growth in time deposits. Average time deposit balances increased by $243.6 million as customers sought higher rate deposit products. Also contributing to the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was a $112.4 million increase in average balances in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. These financial instruments provide us with a relatively inexpensive and readily available source of short-term financing. Average long-term debt, the costliest of our interest-bearing liabilities, remained relatively unchanged in 2007 from 2006.

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased by $4.2 million or 1% in 2006 from 2005, primarily due to increased funding costs. Rates paid on demand and savings accounts increased, as some customers shifted deposits from demand and savings accounts into higher rate time deposits and into off-balance sheet managed cash accounts. Also contributing to the higher funding costs were increased levels of securities sold under agreements to repurchase which served as one source of funding the growth in loans and leases in 2006. Partially offsetting the increase in the funding costs was an increase in yields on loans and investment securities and an increase in average loans and leases.

Net interest margin decreased by 13 basis points in 2006 from 2005, primarily due to the impact that the flat or inverted yield curve had on the mix of our funding sources and related rates paid during 2006.

Average loans and leases increased by $264.8 million or 4% in 2006 from 2005, and yields on total loans and leases increased by 64 basis points in 2006 from 2005. Average balances in investment securities remained relatively unchanged during this period; however, yields increased by 43 basis points in the available-for-sale portfolio and by 29 basis points in held-to-maturity portfolio, reflecting a general rise in interest rates. Growth in average loans and leases required the utilization of deposits and short-term borrowings as a funding mechanism.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $259.4 million or 4% in 2006 from 2005, primarily due to an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, time deposits, and short-term borrowings. Although average deposits remained relatively unchanged during this period, there was significant movement in balances within deposit products. Average noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings balances collectively decreased by $322.5 million or 5% in 2006 from 2005. Over this same period, average time deposits increased by $287.0 million or 24% as customers sought higher rate deposit products and customers also used their off-balance sheet managed cash accounts as a means of obtaining higher rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Provision for Credit Losses (the "Provision") reflects our judgment of the expense or benefit necessary to establish the appropriate amount of the Allowance. We maintain the Allowance at levels adequate to cover our estimate of probable credit losses as of the end of the reporting period. The Provision is determined through detailed quarterly analyses of the loan and lease portfolio. The Provision is based on our loss experience, changes in the economic environment, as well as an ongoing assessment of our credit quality. The Provision was $15.5 million in 2007, $10.8 million in 2006, and $4.6 million in 2005. For further discussion on the Allowance, see the "Corporate Risk Profile – Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" section in MD&A.

Trust and asset management income is comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trust and other customer assets. These fees are somewhat correlated with the market value of the assets that we manage. Total trust assets under administration were $13.0 billion as of December 31, 2007, $12.6 billion as of December 31, 2006, and $12.5 billion as of December 31, 2005. Trust and asset management income increased in 2007 from 2006 due in part to $2.7 million in fees from new accounts under management. Also contributing to higher income in 2007 from 2006 was an increase in fees from existing accounts as a result of an increase in the market value of assets under management. Trust and asset management income increased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to an increase in the average market value of assets under management and an increase in investment advisory fees on money market accounts.

Mortgage banking income for 2007, 2006, and 2005 was comprised of the following:

Designated Securities were comprised of mortgage-backed securities in our trading portfolio, which were used to manage the volatility of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. Realized investment trading gains and losses were not material in 2007.

Mortgage banking income is highly influenced by the level and direction of mortgage interest rates and the strength of the housing market. On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140," which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. We also reclassified investment securities with a carrying value of $164.2 million (the "Designated Securities") from the available-for-sale portfolio to the trading portfolio. The change in fair value of the Designated Securities is intended to offset changes in valuation assumptions affecting the recorded value of our mortgage servicing rights.

Mortgage banking income increased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to the discontinuation of the amortization of mortgage servicing rights in 2007. Also contributing to the increase in mortgage banking income in 2007 from 2006 was the change in the fair value of our Designated Securities of $2.3 million. In 2007, we benefited from the change in fair value of our Designated Securities exceeding the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights due to changes in valuation assumptions. However, with experience in managing this hedge, we continue to rebalance our trading portfolio in an effort to better hedge the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights related to valuation assumptions. These increases were partially offset by the change in mortgage servicing rights due to paydowns. Residential mortgage loan originations were $775.9 million in 2007, a $66.7 million decrease from 2006. Mortgage banking income increased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to lower amortization expense of $2.8 million, partially offset by lower gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans of $1.2 million, and lower mortgage loan fees of $0.6 million. Residential mortgage loan originations were $1.0 billion in 2005. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on mortgage servicing rights.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased in 2007 from 2006, primarily due to higher overdraft fees as a result of fee schedule changes as well as an increase in the number of transactional deposit accounts. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts in 2006 from 2005 was also due to an increase in the number of transactional deposit accounts. However, this increase in 2006 was partially offset by lower account analysis fees on analyzed business checking accounts as a result of higher earnings credit rates resulting from a rise in short-term interest rates.

22


Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit card income, fees from ATMs, merchant service activity, and other loan fees and service charges. The increase in fees, exchange, and other service charges in 2007 and 2006 was primarily due to an increase in debit card income. The increase in debit card income was due to higher transactional volume from new and existing debit cardholders.

Insurance income is comprised of commission income derived from our retail and wholesale insurance businesses. The increase in insurance income in 2007 from 2006 was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in contingent commission income, as well as a $1.2 million increase in income from annuity and life insurance products. Our favorable 2007 results in insurance income are the result of a better trained sales force and product enhancements. The increase in insurance income in 2006 from 2005 was primarily due to higher commission income as customers who insure with our wholesale insurance business experienced lower than anticipated losses.

The other component of other noninterest income increased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to $0.4 million in higher commission income from the sale of mutual funds and $0.6 million in higher income from low-income housing investments. The other component of other noninterest income increased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to higher commission income from the sale of mutual funds.

Total salaries and benefits increased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to higher salaries expense as a result of annual increases in base salaries. Share-based compensation also contributed to the increase due to a $1.0 million expense related to an executive retention agreement that ended on December 31, 2007. Another contributing factor to higher salaries and benefits expense in 2007 was an increase in group medical insurance expense. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in postretirement medical benefits expense, as a result of our decision to amend our plan to reduce retirement benefit costs, and reduced incentive compensation. Total salaries and benefits remained relatively unchanged in 2006 from 2005. Base salaries increased from 2005 as a result of annual increases, and incentive compensation increased as a result of a $1.5 million bonus related to the successful completion of the 2004 - 2006 Plan, paid to employees who did not otherwise participate in an incentive plan. Offsetting these increases in 2006 were decreases in share-based compensation and commission expense resulting from lower residential mortgage loan originations.

Professional fees increased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to a $4.0 million reduction in legal fees in 2006 as a result of the conclusion of various legal matters. Also contributing to the increase in professional fees in 2007 were $0.5 million in fees related to strengthening our diagnostic tools and processes in technology and tax. Professional fees decreased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to the previously mentioned reduction in legal fees.

Other noninterest expense increased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to a $5.6 million charge, which represented our share of estimated legal costs, as a member bank of Visa U.S.A., Inc. ("Visa"), related to lawsuits. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Other noninterest expense increased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in our mileage program travel expense, which was consistent with the increase in our debit card income. Also contributing to the increase in other noninterest expense in 2006 was $0.7 million in higher data services expense.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for 2007, 2006, and 2005 were as follows:


Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rates

(dollars in thousands)

2007   $100,888   35.45 %
2006   106,710   37.17  
2005   102,636   36.11  

The lower effective tax rate in 2007 from 2006 was primarily due to an $8.2 million charge recorded in the provision for income taxes in 2006 related to a change in tax law. The 2007 effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by $0.5 million in higher tax credits realized from our investments in the State of Hawaii's qualified high technology business investment program and by a $0.4 million reduction in the provision for income taxes as a result of the effective settlement of our lease in-lease out transaction. The higher effective tax rate in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily due to the previously mentioned $8.2 million tax charge. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Analysis of Business Segments

Our business segments are Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services, and Treasury. Our management accounting process measures the performance of the business segments based on the management structure of the Company. This process, which is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution, uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income, expense, the Provision, and capital. This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and other subjective factors. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We evaluate several performance measures of the business segments, the most important of which are net income after capital charge ("NIACC") and risk adjusted return on capital ("RAROC"). NIACC is

24



economic net income less a charge for the cost of allocated capital. The cost of allocated capital is determined by multiplying our estimate of a shareholder's minimum required rate of return on the cost of capital invested (11% for 2007) by the segment's allocated equity. We assume a cost of capital that is equal to a risk-free rate plus a risk premium. RAROC is the ratio of economic net income to risk-adjusted equity. Equity is allocated to each business segment based on an assessment of its inherent risk. The net interest income of the business segments reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to our overall asset and liability management activities on a proportionate basis. The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of our assumptions that are subject to change based on changes in current interest rates and market conditions. Funds transfer pricing also serves to transfer interest rate risk to Treasury. However, the other business segments have some latitude to retain certain interest rate exposures related to customer pricing decisions within guidelines. Allocated net income for each segment includes a Provision amount equal to net charge-offs for the period. The Provision is reversed in the NIACC calculation and replaced by an economic provision. The economic provision is a statistically derived estimate of annual expected credit losses over an economic cycle.

We consider NIACC to be a measure of shareholder value creation. Our NIACC was $100.0 million in 2007, $96.9 million in 2006, and $89.1 million in 2005. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our business segments.

Retail Banking

Retail Banking offers a broad range of financial products and services to consumers and small businesses. Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases, and installment loans. Deposit products include checking, savings, and time deposit accounts. Retail Banking also provides merchant services to its small business customers. Products and services from Retail Banking are delivered to customers through 71 Hawaii branch locations, 411 ATMs throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, e-Bankoh (on-line banking service), a 24-hour customer service center, and a mobile banking service. This segment also offers retail property and casualty insurance products.

Financial measures improved in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to higher net interest income and noninterest income. The $6.6 million increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher earnings credits on the segment's deposit portfolio, which was partially offset by lower average deposit balances. The $6.4 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher fee income from transaction volume and growth in the number of transactional deposit accounts as well as higher interchange income from debit card transactions. These positive trends were partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily resulting from higher debit card and salaries expense. Retail Banking's economic provision and capital charge remained relatively unchanged in 2007.

Financial measures improved in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income. The $13.9 million increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher earnings credits on the segment's deposit portfolio, as well as growth in the segment's loan and deposit balances. The $5.6 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher interchange income from debit card sales and transaction volume, and higher fee income from policy initiatives and the growth in the number of transactional deposit accounts. Noninterest expense and the capital charge remained relatively unchanged in 2006. Retail Banking's economic provision was $1.1 million lower in 2006, favorably impacting the segment's financial results.

Commercial Banking

Commercial Banking offers products including corporate banking and commercial real estate loans, lease financing, auto dealer financing, deposit and cash management products, and wholesale property and casualty insurance products. Lending, deposit, and cash management services are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawaii. Commercial real estate mortgages are focused on customers that include investors, developers, and builders domiciled in Hawaii. Commercial Banking also includes our operations at 12 branches in the Pacific Islands.

Financial measures improved in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income as well as a decrease in the provision for income taxes. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. The $4.7 million increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth in the segment's loan and deposit balances as well as higher earnings credits on the segment's deposit portfolio. The $2.7 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher fee income on wholesale property and casualty insurance products. Higher fee income from facilitating customer interest rate swaps, mutual fund fee income, and gains on the sale of leased assets also contributed to the growth in noninterest income. The $8.2 million decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the previously mentioned tax charge due to a change in tax legislation which occurred in 2006. The $4.7 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher salaries, other operating, and allocated expenses. Commercial Banking's economic provision and capital charge remained relatively unchanged in 2007.

Financial measures decreased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and noninterest income as well as a higher provision for income taxes. The $1.8 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the funding charge associated with non-earning assets. The $1.7 million decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to higher gains on the sale of leased assets recognized in 2005. The $9.9 million increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the previously mentioned tax charge due to a change in tax legislation which occurred in 2006. The segment's economic provision was $0.9 million lower in 2006, favorably impacting the segment's financial results. Reductions in operating risk and the further refinement of credit risk factors also resulted in a lower capital charge for the segment in 2006.

27


Investment Services

Investment Services includes private banking, trust services, asset management, and institutional investment advisory services. A significant portion of this segment's income is derived from fees, which are generally based on the market values of assets under management. The private banking and personal trust group assists individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment, credit, and trust services to high-net-worth individuals. The asset management group manages portfolios and creates investment products. Institutional sales and service offers investment advice to corporations, government entities, and foundations. This segment also provides a full service brokerage offering equities, mutual funds, life insurance, and annuity products.

Financial measures improved in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. The $6.2 million increase in noninterest income was due in part to $2.7 million in fees from new accounts under management. Also contributing to higher noninterest income in 2007 from 2006 was an increase in fees from existing accounts as a result of an increase in the market value of assets under management. The $2.7 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher salaries and other operating expenses. Investment Services' economic provision and capital charge remained relatively unchanged in 2007.

Financial measures improved in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to an increase in noninterest income and a decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes. The $2.2 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to an increase in the average market value of assets under management and an increase in investment advisory fees on money market accounts. The $5.4 million decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to charges for legal fees and other expenses which were incurred in 2005. The $3.1 million increase in the provision for income taxes was due to higher pretax income for the Investment Services segment in 2006. Investment Services' economic provision remained relatively unchanged in 2006. Reductions in operating risk and the further refinement of credit risk factors resulted in a lower capital charge for the segment in 2006.

Treasury

Treasury consists of corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management and a foreign exchange business. This segment's assets and liabilities (and related interest income and expense) consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, federal funds sold and purchased, government deposits, and short- and long-term borrowings. The primary sources of noninterest income are from bank-owned life insurance and foreign exchange income related to customer driven currency requests from merchants and island visitors. The net residual effect of the transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury, along with eliminations of inter-company transactions.

Financial measures decreased in 2007 from 2006 primarily due to lower net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income. The $19.5 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher funding costs associated with our deposit portfolio and an increase in the average balance of deposits funded by Treasury. The $4.9 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the previously mentioned $5.6 million charge, which represented our share of estimated legal costs, recognized as a member bank of Visa. The $9.0 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $3.1 million gain on the sale of real estate, a $1.3 million increase in investment securities gains, and a $1.7 million increase in income from bank-owned life insurance. Treasury's financial results were also negatively impacted by a $3.5 million increase in the capital charge. This increase was due to higher excess equity as a result of a decrease in the unrealized loss position on our investment securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $20.8 million.

Financial measures decreased in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to lower net interest income, partially offset by lower noninterest expense and capital charges. The $17.4 million decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher funding costs associated with our deposit portfolio and increases in

28



both rate and volume of short-term borrowings. The $2.1 million decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a reduction in share-based compensation expense. Also, Treasury's capital charge was favorably impacted by a reduction in our excess capital, a result of the Parent's ongoing share repurchase program.

Other organizational units (Technology, Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Credit and Risk Management, and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) included in Treasury provide a wide-range of support to our other income earning segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process.

Analysis of Statements of Condition

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio is managed to provide liquidity and interest income. Our portfolio is also used to offset interest rate risk positions and to provide collateral for various banking activities. Investment securities, excluding trading securities, decreased by $113.5 million or 4% from December 31, 2006.

The investment securities portfolio was in a gross unrealized loss position of $22.1 million or 1% of total amortized cost as of December 31, 2007. We do not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2007, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. We have both the intent and ability to hold the investment securities for the time necessary to recover the amortized cost. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

As of December 31, 2007, all of our mortgage-backed securities issued by private institutions were prime jumbo, AAA-rated, with an average original loan-to-value ratio of 65%, and originated between 2003 and 2005. Loans past due 90 days or more, underlying the mortgage-backed securities issued by private institutions, was 6 basis points or $0.2 million as of December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, there were no sub-prime or Alt-A securities in our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities issued by private institutions.

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases represent our largest category of interest earning assets and the largest source of revenue. Total loans and leases decreased by $42.3 million or 1% from $6.6 billion as of December 31, 2006.

The commercial loan and lease portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans, and lease financing. Commercial and industrial loans are made primarily to corporations, middle market, and small businesses. The purpose of these loans is for working capital needs, equipment, acquisitions, or other expansion projects.

Commercial mortgages and construction loans are offered to real estate investors, developers, and builders domiciled in Hawaii. Commercial mortgages are secured by real estate. The source of repayment for investor property is cash flow from the property and for owner-occupied property it is operating cash flow from the business. Construction loans are for the purchase or construction of a property for which repayment will be generated by the property.

Lease financing consists of direct financing leases and leveraged leases. Although our primary market is Hawaii, the commercial portfolio contains loans to some borrowers based on the continental United States ("Mainland") including some Shared National Credits.

Commercial loans and leases decreased by $83.6 million or 3% from $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to our decision to exit a total of $80.0 million in

30



commercial credits, including $20.0 million in construction loans in 2007. We also adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position ("FSP") No. 13-2, "Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction," which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." Our adoption of FSP No. 13-2 had the effect of reducing commercial lease financing balances by $42.7 million on January 1, 2007.

The consumer loan and lease portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, personal credit lines, direct installment loans, and indirect auto loans and leases. These products are offered generally in the markets we serve through our branch network. Consumer loans and leases increased by $41.3 million or 1% from $4.2 billion as of December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily in our residential mortgage and home equity loan categories, despite lower new loan origination activity in 2007 from 2006. Residential mortgage loan balances increased in 2007 primarily due to lower loan prepayment rates. Home equity loan balances increased in 2007 primarily due to product initiatives for customers to utilize their lines of credit as well as lower loan prepayment rates. The purchased home equity portfolio, which is comprised of Mainland borrowers, continued to run-off with no new purchases in 2007.

Table 11 presents the geographic distribution of our loan and lease portfolio based on the location of the borrower and Table 12 presents maturities and sensitivities of loans to changes in interest rates. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the "Corporate Risk Profile – Credit Risk" section of MD&A for more information.

Other Assets

Other assets were $433.1 million as of December 31, 2007, a $59.2 million or 16% increase from December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an additional $25.0 million purchase of bank-owned life insurance in 2007. Also contributing to the increase in other assets was the funding of new low income housing investments, net of current year amortization, of $14.5 million in 2007. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Deposits

Total deposits were $7.9 billion as of December 31, 2007, an $81.0 million or 1% decrease from December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a $54.1 million decrease in commercial and public noninterest-bearing demand deposits and a $59.8 million decrease in consumer and commercial savings deposits. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in time deposits of $45.2 million in 2007 as some customers shifted their deposits into higher yielding time deposit accounts. Customers also moved their deposits into higher yielding off-balance sheet managed cash accounts in 2007.

Average time deposits of $100,000 or more was $976.7 million in 2007 and $808.2 million in 2006. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Borrowings

Borrowings consisted of funds purchased and short-term borrowings, including commercial paper. Borrowings were $85.8 million as of December 31, 2007, a $14.6 million or 21% increase from December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to a $15.3 million or 25% increase in funds purchased which offset the $18.5 million or 2% reduction in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2007, an $18.5 million or 2% decrease from December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to the termination of $100.0 million in agreements, partially offset by an increase of $81.5 million in agreements during 2007. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt was $235.4 million as of December 31, 2007, a $24.9 million or 10% decrease from December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to the maturity of $25.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle advances in 2007. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Foreign Activities

In 2007 and 2006, we held U.S. dollar denominated placements and investment securities issued by foreign entities, as a means of generating foreign source income. We used foreign tax credits available to reduce the tax on this income.

Table 14 presents, as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, a geographic distribution of international assets for which we have cross-border exposure exceeding 0.75% of total assets. Cross-border exposures, which reflect country of risk outside the U.S., are reported by the country of the guarantor.

This table details cross-border outstandings by country that individually amounted to 0.75% or more of consolidated total assets. Cross-border outstandings are defined as foreign monetary assets that are payable to the Company in U.S. dollars or other non-local currencies, plus amounts payable in local currency but funded with U.S. dollars or other non-local currencies. Cross-border outstandings include loans, acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments, and other monetary assets.

2
As of December 31, 2007, significant items comprising the "All Others" category included cross-border outstandings of $62.6 million in the United Kingdom, $50.3 million in Sweden, and $50.1 million in Switzerland.

Cross-border assets were $314.8 million as of December 31, 2007, a $111.0 million or 26% decrease from December 31, 2006. Lower levels of cross-border assets from banks and other financial institutions were the result of a $75.2 million decrease in investment securities in the Netherlands and a $29.3 million decrease in investment securities in Australia. Both decreases were due to the maturity of foreign bonds. Our overall exposure to cross-border assets with commercial and consumer customers also decreased modestly in 2007.

Corporate Risk Profile

Credit Risk

Credit Risk is defined as the risk that borrowers or counter-parties will not be able to repay their obligations to us. Credit exposures reflect legally binding commitments for loans, leases, banker's acceptances, standby and commercial letters of credit, and overnight deposit account overdrafts.

We manage and control risk in the loan and lease portfolio by adhering to well-defined underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Written credit policies document underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits, and other limits or standards deemed necessary and prudent. Portfolio diversification at the obligor, industry, product, and/or geographic location levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management also includes an independent credit review process that assesses compliance with commercial and consumer credit policies, risk ratings, and other critical credit information. Our credit risk profile reflects a stable economy in Hawaii and Guam as well as disciplined commercial and retail underwriting and portfolio management.

Included in our commercial portfolio are 10 leveraged leases on aircraft that were originated in the 1990's or prior. Outstanding credit exposure related to these leases was $88.0 million as of December 31, 2007. These leases, and especially those paid by domestic air carriers, continue to demonstrate a higher risk profile due to fuel costs, pension plan obligations, and marginal pricing power. We continue to consider these factors in our evaluation of the reserve for credit losses. Table 15 below summarizes our air transportation credit exposure as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Non-performing assets ("NPAs") consist of non-accrual loans and leases, foreclosed real estate, and other non-performing investments. Our NPAs were $5.3 million as of December 31, 2007, a $1.1 million or 17% decrease from December 31, 2006. The $1.3 million increase in NPAs from December 31, 2007 to 2006 in our home equity portfolio was due to nine loans with a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 61%. We do not expect to incur losses on these loans.

The following table presents the activity in NPAs for 2007:

Non-Performing Assets (dollars in thousands) Table 17

Balance at Beginning of Year   $ 6,407  
Additions     6,355  
Reductions:

  Charge-offs / Write-downs     (1,025 )

 
Total Reductions     (7,476 )

 
Balance at End of Year   $ 5,286  

 

Included in NPAs are loans and leases that are considered impaired. Impaired loans and leases are defined as those which we believe it is probable we will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or lease agreement. Impaired loans and leases as of December 31, 2007 was $0.1 million as compared to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in impaired loans and leases was due to the charge-off of a $0.4 million commercial and industrial loan during 2007.

Accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more were $7.6 million as of December 31, 2007, an increase of $4.8 million from December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase in delinquencies in residential mortgage loans. The increase in residential mortgage loan delinquencies was due to 11 loans, the majority of which have loan-to-value ratios of 60% or less. We do not expect to incur losses on these loans. There were no commercial loans or leases past due 90 days or more as of December 31, 2007. Due to the low volume of NPAs and accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more, management anticipates some degree of variability in the balances in these categories from period to period and does not consider modest changes to be indicative of significant asset quality trends.

Our credit risk position remained strong and stable during 2007 with low levels of internally criticized loans and leases and non-performing assets. The ratio of non-accrual loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.08% as of December 31, 2007 and 0.09% as of December 31, 2006.

The components of the Allowance, including the allocation between commercial and consumer categories, have also remained relatively unchanged as of December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006. Based on our ongoing assessment of the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio and the economic environment, we recorded a Provision of $15.5 million for 2007, an increase of $4.7 million from 2006.

The ratio of the Allowance to total loans and leases outstanding was 1.38% as of December 31, 2007, a slight increase from 1.37% as of December 31, 2006. The relatively unchanged ratio was indicative of stable economic conditions, and conservative underwriting and portfolio management standards. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Allowance.

Net loans and leases charged-off in 2007 was $15.5 million or 0.24% of total average loans and leases, an increase from $10.8 million or 0.17% of total average loans and leases in 2006. The increase in net loans and leases charged-off was primarily due

37


to a $3.1 million increase in consumer net charge-offs. The increase in consumer net charge-offs in 2007 was primarily due to $1.6 million in higher net charge-offs related to automobile loans and $0.9 million in higher net charge-offs related to overdraft losses. Prior to 2007, overdraft losses were not charged-off against the Allowance and were expensed as losses were incurred.

Although we determine the amount of each component of the Allowance separately, the Allowance as a whole was considered appropriate by management as of December 31, 2007, based on our ongoing analysis of estimated probable credit losses, credit risk profiles, economic conditions, coverage ratios, and other relevant factors.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The Unfunded Reserve was $5.2 million as of December 31, 2007, unchanged from December 31, 2006. The process used to determine the Unfunded Reserve is consistent with the process for determining the Allowance as adjusted for estimated funding probabilities or loan and lease equivalency factors. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Unfunded Reserve.

Market Risk

Market risk is the potential of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and prices. We are exposed to market risk as a consequence of the normal course of conducting our business activities. Our market risk management process involves measuring, monitoring, controlling, and managing risks that can significantly impact our statements of income and condition. In this management process, market risks are balanced with expected returns in an effort to enhance earnings performance, while limiting volatility. The activities associated with these market risks are categorized into "trading" and "other than trading."

Our trading activities include foreign currency and foreign exchange contracts that expose us to a small degree of foreign currency risk. These transactions are primarily executed on behalf of customers. Our other than trading activities include normal business transactions that expose our balance sheet profile to varying degrees of market risk.

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The objective of our interest rate risk management process is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity.

The potential cash flows, sales, or replacement value of many of our assets and liabilities, especially those that earn or pay interest, are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from our normal business activities of gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors affect our exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences, historical pricing relationships, and repricing characteristics of financial instruments.

Our earnings are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. and its agencies, particularly the FRB. The monetary policies of the FRB influence, to a significant extent, the overall growth of loans, investment securities, and deposits and the level of interest rates earned on assets and paid for liabilities. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies are generally not predictable.

In managing interest rate risk, we, through the Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), measure short- and long-term sensitivities to changes in interest rates. The ALCO utilizes several techniques to manage interest rate risk, which include:


The use of derivative financial instruments, as detailed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, has generally been limited. This is due to natural on-balance sheet hedges arising out of

38


offsetting interest rate exposures from loans, investment securities with deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities. In particular, the investment securities portfolio is utilized to manage the interest rate exposure and sensitivity to within the guidelines and limits established by ALCO. Natural and offsetting hedges reduce the need to employ off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk exposures. Expected movements in interest rates are also considered in managing interest rate risk. Thus, as interest rates change, we may use different techniques to manage interest rate risk.

A key element in our ongoing process to measure and monitor interest rate risk is the utilization of an asset/liability simulation model. The model is used to estimate and measure the balance sheet sensitivity to changes in interest rates. These estimates are based on assumptions on the behavior of loan and deposit pricing, repayment rates on mortgage-based assets, and principal amortization and maturities on other financial instruments. The model's analytics include the effects of standard prepayment options on mortgages and customer withdrawal options for deposits. While such assumptions are inherently uncertain, we believe that these assumptions are reasonable. As a result, the simulation model attempts to capture the dynamic nature of the balance sheet.

We utilize net interest income simulations to analyze short-term income sensitivities to changes in interest rates. Table 20 presents, for the next twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, an estimate of the change in net interest income that would result from a gradual change in interest rates, moving in a parallel fashion over the entire yield curve, relative to the measured base case scenario. The base case scenario assumes the balance sheet and interest rates are generally unchanged. Based on the net interest income simulation as of December 31, 2007, our Consolidated Statement of Condition is approximately neutral to parallel changes in interest rates. Net interest income sensitivity to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2007 was less sensitive to changes in interest rates as compared to the sensitivity profile as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. To analyze the impact of changes in interest rates in a more realistic manner, non-parallel interest rate scenarios are also simulated. These non-parallel interest rate scenarios indicate that net interest income may decrease from the base case scenario should the yield curve flatten or become inverted for a period of time. Conversely, if the yield curve should steepen further from its mostly "normal" profile, net interest income may increase.

We also use Market Value of Portfolio Equity ("MVPE") sensitivity to estimate the net present value change in our net assets (i.e., assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments) from changes in interest rates. The MVPE was approximately $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and approximately $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2005. Table 21 presents, as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, an estimate of the change in the MVPE that would occur from an instantaneous 100 and 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, moving in a parallel fashion over the entire yield curve. The MVPE sensitivity increased as of December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 as a result of the relative shift in the funding source for asset growth and the flat or inverted yield curve during 2007.

Further enhancing the MVPE sensitivity analysis are:

39


There are inherent limitations to these measures; however, used along with the MVPE sensitivity analysis, we obtain better overall insight for managing our exposures to changes in interest rates. Based on the additional analyses, we estimate that our greatest exposure is in scenarios where medium term rates rise on a relative basis more than short-term and long-term rates.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is managed in an effort to ensure that we have continuous access to sufficient, reasonably priced funds. Funding requirements are impacted by loan originations and refinancings, liability issuances and settlements, and off-balance sheet funding commitments. We consider and comply with various regulatory guidelines regarding required liquidity levels and periodically monitor our liquidity position in light of the changing economic environment and customer activity. Based on periodic liquidity assessments, we may alter our asset, liability, and off-balance sheet positions. The ALCO monitors sources and uses of funds and modifies asset and liability positions as liquidity requirements change. This process, combined with our ability to raise funds in money and capital markets and through private placements, provides flexibility in managing the exposure to liquidity risk.

In an effort to ensure that our liquidity needs are met, we actively manage our assets and liabilities. The potential sources of short-term liquidity include interest-bearing deposits as well as the ability to sell certain assets including investment securities available-for-sale. Assets generate long-term liquidity through cash flows from investment securities and loans. With respect to liabilities, short-term liquidity is generated from securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term funding sources such as federal funds while long-term liquidity is generated through growth in deposits and long-term debt.

Capital Management

The Parent and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Parent and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Parent and the Bank were "well capitalized" under this regulatory framework. There have been no conditions or events since December 31, 2007 that management believes have changed either the Parent's or the Bank's capital classifications. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

As of December 31, 2007, we had subordinated debt of $124.9 million, of which $25.0 million qualified as Total Capital for regulatory capital purposes. Also, as of December 31, 2007, we had $26.4 million in Capital Securities outstanding, all of which qualified as Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes. However, the Capital Securities were classified as long-term debt in the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

As of December 31, 2007, our shareholders' equity was $750.3 million, an increase of $30.8 million or

40



4% from December 31, 2006. The increase in shareholders' equity resulted primarily from current year earnings, which was partially offset by $99.7 million in common stock repurchases, $82.4 million in cash dividends paid, and $34.5 million in reductions to retained earnings as a result of our adoption of several new accounting pronouncements on January 1, 2007. The increase in our shareholders' equity was also due to a decrease in the unrealized loss position on our investment securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $20.8 million, which was attributable to a lower interest rate environment as of December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. We also recorded gains related to defined benefit plans, net of tax, of $7.0 million.

Our strategy is to maintain a capital leverage ratio of 7.0%. We achieve this by returning the majority of the annual capital generated to shareholders' either through dividend payments or share repurchases.

On October 19, 2007, the Parent's Board of Directors increased the authorization under the share repurchase program by an additional $100.0 million. This new authorization, combined with the previously announced authorization of $1.55 billion, brings the total share repurchase authority to $1.65 billion. From the beginning of the share repurchase program in July 2001 through December 31, 2007, the Parent had repurchased a total of 44.3 million shares and returned a total of $1.6 billion to its shareholders at an average cost of $35.08 per share. From January 1, 2008 through February 20, 2008, the Parent repurchased an additional 0.4 million shares at an average cost of $47.79 per share for a total of $18.3 million. Remaining buyback authority was $76.1 million as of February 20, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Credit Commitments, and Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships. Such entities are often referred to as variable-interest entities. We routinely sell residential mortgage loans to investors, with servicing rights retained. Sales of residential mortgage loans are generally made on a non-recourse basis.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") as of December 31, 2007 was $130.4 million. We are unable to reasonably estimate the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority. As a result, our liability for UTBs is not included in this disclosure.

Non-cancelable operating leases are primarily related to branch premises and equipment, with lease terms extending through 2036. Purchase obligations arise from agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding. Our largest purchase obligation is an outsourcing agreement for technology services related to our core systems and applications. Total payments over the remaining term (through 2014) of this contract are estimated to be $79.1 million. Other contracts included in purchase obligations consist of service agreements for our asset management, ATM, and cash management systems.

Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Fourth Quarter Results and Other Matters

Net Income

Net income was $40.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, a decrease of $10.1 million or 20% from the fourth quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $0.83 for the fourth quarter of 2007, a decrease of $0.18 or 18% from the fourth quarter of

43



2006. The results for the fourth quarter of 2007 were significantly reduced by pretax charges of $7.3 million of which $5.6 million was related to the previously mentioned Visa legal costs and $1.7 million related to a fraud loss.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $99.7 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 1% from the fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily due to increased funding costs caused by a change in the funding mix as some customers shifted deposit balances into higher yielding accounts. The net interest margin was 4.12% for the fourth quarter of 2007, a three basis point decrease from the fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease in our net interest margin was primarily due to the impact that the flat or inverted yield curve during 2007 has had on our mix of rates paid on funding sources.

Provision for Credit Losses

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 included a Provision of $5.4 million compared to a Provision of $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. We have recorded the Provision in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2006 in order to maintain the reserve for credit losses at levels considered adequate to cover credit losses in the lending process.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $60.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of $6.8 million or 13% from the fourth quarter of 2006. This increase was primarily due to a $3.1 million gain on the sale of real estate in the fourth quarter of 2007. We also experienced a $0.9 million increase in both overdraft fees and debit card income as a result of higher volume in the fourth quarter of 2007, and a $0.6 million increase in fees related to facilitating customer interest rate swaps.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $92.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of $10.4 million or 13% from the fourth quarter of 2006. This increase was primarily due to the previously mentioned $7.3 million charge. We also incurred $1.5 million in higher base salaries expense and a total of $1.4 million in higher restricted stock expense and restricted stock units in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of $3.3 million or 18% from the fourth quarter of 2006. This represented an effective tax rate of 34.37% for the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to an effective tax rate of 26.19% for the fourth quarter of 2006. The lower effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2006 was primarily due to accrual adjustments for tax matters during the quarter.

Share Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $30.0 million under our share repurchase program. The shares were repurchased at an average cost of $50.79 per share.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bank of Hawaii Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed its method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140; changed its method of accounting for leveraged leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position No. 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction; and changed its method of accounting for tax positions in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 22, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Note 1.        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the "Parent") is a bank holding company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. Bank of Hawaii Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the "Company") provide a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam, nearby islands, and American Samoa). The majority of the Company's operations consist of customary commercial and consumer banking services including, but not limited to, lending, leasing, deposit services, trust and investment activities, brokerage services, insurance products, and trade financing.

The accounting and reporting principles of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies:

Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries. The Parent's principal subsidiary is Bank of Hawaii (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has investments in low-income housing projects and sponsors the Bank of Hawaii Charitable Foundation. These entities are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The Company also has investments in leveraged leases, as discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment Securities

Investment securities are accounted for according to their purpose and holding period. Trading securities are those that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Trading securities, comprised primarily of mortgage-backed securities, are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded in noninterest income. Held-to-maturity investment securities, comprised of debt and mortgage-backed securities, that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale investment securities, comprised of debt and mortgage-backed securities, are those that may not be held-to-maturity and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on current market quotations. A decline in the fair value of investment securities that is considered other than temporary is recorded as a reduction in noninterest income. Realized gains and losses are recorded in noninterest income using the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on investment securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, using the effective interest method over the period to maturity, are included in interest income.

Non-marketable equity securities, such as the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB") and Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle ("FHLB") stock, are accounted for at cost and included in other assets.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale, principally residential mortgage loans, are valued on an aggregate basis at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on prevailing market prices for loans with similar

51



characteristics. Gains and losses on sales of residential mortgage loans (sales proceeds minus carrying value) are recorded in the mortgage banking component of noninterest income. Non-refundable fees and direct loan origination costs related to loans held for sale are deferred and recognized as a component of the gain or loss on sale.

Loans and Leases

Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees, certain direct costs, unearned discounts, and premiums are deferred and amortized into interest income as yield adjustments over the term or estimated life of the loan. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized into interest income over the commitment period. Other credit-related fees are recognized as fee income, a component of noninterest income, when earned.

Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of leased property, less unearned income. Leveraged leases, which are a form of direct financing leases, are carried net of non-recourse debt. Unearned income on direct financing and leveraged leases is amortized over the lease term by methods that approximate the interest method. Residual values on leased assets are periodically reviewed for other than temporary impairment.

Leveraged Leases

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position ("FSP") No. 13-2, "Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction," which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." The timing of cash flows relating to income taxes generated by a leveraged lease is an important assumption that affects the periodic income recognized by the lessor for that lease transaction. Under the provisions of FSP No. 13-2, a change or projected change in the timing of cash flows relating to income taxes generated by a leveraged lease transaction requires a recalculation of the total and periodic income related to the leveraged lease transaction.

During the years 1998 through 2002, the Company entered into one leveraged lease transaction known as a Lease In-Lease Out ("LILO") transaction and five leveraged lease transactions known as Sale In-Lease Out ("SILO") transactions. As of January 1, 2007, these LILO and SILO transactions were in various stages of review by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Management expected that the outcome of these reviews would change the projected timing of cash flows from these leveraged leases. As a result, in adopting the provisions of FSP No. 13-2 on January 1, 2007, the Company recorded an after-tax cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $27.1 million. This adjustment represented a $42.7 million reduction in the carrying value of lease financing balances and a $15.6 million reduction in deferred income tax liabilities. The provisions of FSP No. 13-2 also provide that subsequent changes in the timing of projected cash flows that results in a change in the net investment of a leveraged lease is to be recorded as a gain or loss in the Company's results of operations in the period in which the assumption is changed.

In June 2007, the Company reached an agreement with the IRS as to the terms of settlement of the issues related to the Company's LILO transaction. See Note 15 for further discussion on the matter.

Non-Performing Loans and Leases

Generally, loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status upon becoming contractually past due 90 days or more for principal or interest (unless loans and leases are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection, and are reasonably expected to result in repayment), when terms are renegotiated below market levels, or where substantial doubt about full repayment of principal or interest is evident.

52


When a loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan or lease is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. A loan or lease may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan or lease agreement.

Loans and leases are charged-off when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and when it is possible to make a reasonable estimate of the loss. For commercial loans, a charge-off is determined on a judgmental basis after due consideration of the debtor's prospects for repayment and the fair value of collateral is deemed deficient. For residential mortgage and home equity loans, a charge-off is required at 120 days delinquency for the amount that the estimated fair value (sales price minus costs to acquire title, to hold, and to sell) is less than the loan balance. Other consumer loans are charged-off upon becoming past due 120 days.

Reserve for Credit Losses

The Company's reserve for credit losses is comprised of two components, the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the "Allowance") and the Reserve for Unfunded Commitments (the "Unfunded Reserve").

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Company maintains an Allowance adequate to cover management's estimate of probable credit losses as of the balance sheet date. Changes to the absolute level of the Allowance are recognized through charges or credits to the provision for credit losses (the "Provision"). Loans and leases that are charged-off have the effect of reducing the Allowance while recoveries of loans and leases previously charged-off have the effect of increasing the Allowance.

The level of the Allowance is based on analyses of individual borrowers and historical loss experience supplemented as necessary by credit judgment to address observed changes in trends and conditions, and other relevant environmental and economic factors that may affect the collectibility of loans and leases.

A quarterly evaluation of specific individual commercial borrowers is performed to identify impaired loans and leases. The identification of specific borrowers for review is based on a review of non-accrual loans and leases as well as those loans and leases specifically identified by management as exhibiting above average levels of risk.

Homogeneous pools of loans and leases are analyzed using historical loss patterns in various loan and lease pools that have been grouped based on similar risk characteristics for collective evaluation of impairment. Commercial loan and lease pools are collectively evaluated for impairment based on business unit and internal risk rating segmentation and exclude those loans and leases evaluated individually for impairment. Loss estimates are calculated based on an analysis of historical risk rating migration to loss. Consumer and small business loan and lease pools reflect aggregation of similar products based on geography. Loss estimates are calculated based on historical rolling average loss rates and average delinquency flows to loss.

The Allowance also includes an estimate for inherent losses not reflected in the historical analyses. Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, concentrations of credit risk (geographic, large borrower, and industry), economic trends and conditions, changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, trends in delinquencies, and the level of net charge-offs. In addition, the Company uses a variety of other tools to estimate probable credit losses including, but not limited to, a rolling quarterly forecast of asset quality metrics; stress testing; and performance indicators based on the Company's own experience, peers, or other industry sources.

53


Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The Unfunded Reserve is a component of other liabilities and represents the estimate for probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include banker's acceptances, and standby and commercial letters of credit. The process used to determine the Unfunded Reserve is consistent with the process for determining the Allowance, as adjusted for estimated funding probabilities or loan and lease equivalency factors.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing deposits, and funds sold. All amounts are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of less than 90 days.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at the capitalized amount less accumulated amortization. Premises and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leased assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases. Useful lives range from three to 50 years for premises and leasehold improvements, from three to 10 years for equipment, and 60 years for capitalized leased assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while improvements which extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the asset.

Long-lived depreciable assets are evaluated periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the expected undiscounted future cash flows of a long-lived asset are less than its carrying value. In that event, the Company records a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset based on a quoted market price, if applicable, or a discounted cash flow analysis. There was no impairment of the Company's long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or market value based on current appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Losses arising at the time of acquiring such property are charged against the Allowance. Subsequent decreases in property values are recognized through charges to noninterest expense.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as assets when mortgage loans are sold and the rights to service those loans are retained.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140," which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. In adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 156, the Company recorded an increase in the value of mortgage servicing rights of $8.0 million which resulted in a net of tax increase to retained earnings of $5.1 million. Also, as permitted by SFAS No. 156, the Company reclassified investment securities with a carrying value of $164.2 million (the "Designated Securities") from the available-for-sale portfolio to the trading portfolio. Concurrently, the Company reclassified unrealized losses of $5.3 million, net of tax, previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss,

54



to retained earnings. The Designated Securities are recorded at fair value on the Company's statement of condition, with realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded as the change in fair value of the Designated Securities in mortgage banking income. The change in fair value of the Designated Securities is intended to offset changes in valuation assumptions affecting the recorded value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights. The net after-tax cumulative-effect adjustment to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 156 was to reduce retained earnings by $0.2 million on January 1, 2007. The Company also adopted the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 156 to account for subsequent re-measurements of the Company's mortgage servicing rights.

Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company recorded its mortgage servicing rights at the lower of the initial recorded value, adjusted for amortization, or fair value. The Company's mortgage servicing rights were amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated total net servicing income. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a quarterly basis by estimating the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights and comparing that value to the carrying amount. The servicing assets were stratified by certain risk characteristics, primarily loan type and note rate. Impairment in any one stratification would result in a valuation allowance of the mortgage servicing rights being recognized in mortgage banking income, a component of noninterest income. No significant impairment charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Assumptions such as loan prepayment rates, costs to service, ancillary income, impound account balances, and discount rates are used to estimate the fair value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights. Risks inherent in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights include changes in interest rates, higher than expected loan repayment rates, and the delayed receipt of cash flows, among other factors.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment. No impairment of goodwill was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. A $1.3 million impairment charge was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005 in connection with the Company's insurance business.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition, while the securities underlying the securities sold under agreements to repurchase remain in the respective asset accounts and are delivered to and held in collateral by third party trustees.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company incurs certain employment-related expenses associated with its two pension plans and a postretirement benefit plan (the "Plans"). In order to measure the expense associated with the Plans, various assumptions are made including the discount rate used to value certain liabilities, expected return on plan assets, anticipated mortality rates, and expected future healthcare costs. The assumptions are based on historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. A third-party actuarial firm is used to assist management in measuring the expense and liability associated with the Plans. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its Plans. As of the measurement date, plan assets are determined based on fair value,

55



generally representing observable market prices. The projected benefit obligation is primarily determined based on the present value of projected benefit distributions at an assumed discount rate.

Periodic pension expense or credits include interest costs based on the assumed discount rate, the expected return on plan assets based on actuarially derived market-related values, and recognized net actuarial gains or losses. Periodic postretirement benefit expense or credits include service costs, interest costs based on the assumed discount rate, amortization of prior service credits, and recognized net actuarial gains or losses.

On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)." SFAS No. 158 requires the Company to recognize in its statement of condition an asset for a plan's overfunded status or a liability for a plan's underfunded status. SFAS No. 158 also requires that the Company measure the Plans' assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year and to recognize those changes in the year in which the changes occur as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 resulted in the reduction of the Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, by approximately $7.0 million, due to previously unrecognized prior service credits and net actuarial gains.

Income Taxes

The Parent files a consolidated federal income tax return with the Bank and its subsidiaries. Calculation of the Company's provision for income taxes requires the interpretation of income tax laws and regulations and the use of estimates and judgments in its determination. The Company is subject to examination by governmental authorities that may give rise to income tax issues due to differing interpretations. Changes to the liability for income taxes also occur due to changes in income tax rates, implementation of new business strategies, resolution of issues with taxing authorities, and newly enacted statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance.

Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the corresponding tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates and tax laws to future years in which temporary differences are expected to reverse. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the tax rate change is enacted. A deferred tax valuation reserve is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company's tax sharing policy provides for the settlement of income taxes between each relevant subsidiary as if the subsidiary had filed a separate return. Payments are made to the Parent by subsidiaries with tax liabilities, and subsidiaries that generate tax benefits receive payments for those benefits as used.

The Company maintains reserves for certain tax positions that arise in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2007, these positions were evaluated based on an assessment of probabilities as to the likelihood of whether a liability had been incurred. Such assessments were reviewed as events occurred and adjustments to the reserves were made as appropriate.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." FIN 48 established a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for income tax positions recognized in the Company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In evaluating a tax position for recognition, FIN 48 requires that the Company judgmentally evaluate whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company's financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management's judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. On

56



January 1, 2007, the Company also adopted the provisions of FSP No. FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48," which provides guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing a liability for previously unrecognized tax benefits in the statement of condition. In adopting the provisions of FIN 48 and FSP No. FIN 48-1 on January 1, 2007, the Company recorded an after-tax cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $7.2 million. See Note 15 for further discussion on the Company's FIN 48 tax positions as of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

Treasury Stock

Shares of the Parent's common stock that are repurchased are recorded in treasury stock at cost. On the date of subsequent re-issuance, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on a first-in, first-out basis.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the effect of common stock equivalents that are dilutive.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Management has received authorization from the Parent's Board of Directors to use derivative financial instruments as an end-user in connection with its risk management activities and to accommodate the needs of its customers. The Company has elected not to qualify for hedge accounting methods addressed under current provisions of GAAP. All risk management derivative instruments are stated at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Condition with changes in fair value reported in current period earnings.

Share-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," using the modified prospective method. As a result, compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes expense related to share-based awards granted prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 also includes expense related to share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its share-based compensation under the intrinsic value method as permitted by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Accordingly, prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recognized no compensation expense for employee stock options that were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $6.0 million, $5.8 million, and $5.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

57


International Operations

The Bank has operations that are conducted in certain Pacific Islands that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These operations are classified as domestic.

Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which established a framework for measuring fair value, while expanding fair value measurement disclosures. SFAS No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between independent observable inputs and unobservable inputs based on the best information available. SFAS No. 157 expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities, the effect of these measurements on earnings for the period, and the inputs used to measure fair value. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-1 to exclude SFAS No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. In February 2008, the FASB also issued FSP SFAS No. 157-2 to allow entities to electively defer the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. The Company will apply the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 157 to its nonfinancial assets and liabilities beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no impact on beginning of period retained earnings and is prospectively not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of income and condition.

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," which provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities, on an instrument by instrument basis, at fair value. The objective of reporting financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value is to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. On January 1, 2008, the Company did not elect to report additional financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of income and condition.

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings," which requires entities to include the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan in the measurement of its written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The expected net future cash flows from servicing the loan that are to be included in measuring the fair value of the written loan commitment is to be determined in the same manner that the fair value of a recognized servicing asset is measured under SFAS No. 156. However, a separate and distinct servicing asset is not recognized for accounting purposes until the servicing rights have been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or securitization of the loan with servicing retained. The adoption of SAB No. 109 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of income and condition.

The gross unrealized losses reported for mortgage-backed securities relate to investment securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and private institutions. The Company does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2007, which is comprised of 149 securities, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Company has both the intent and ability to hold the investment securities for a period of time necessary to recover the amortized cost.

Substantially all of the Company's interest income on investment securities for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, was comprised of taxable interest income. Income tax expense related to the Company's net realized gains on the sales of investment securities was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005. The accumulated other comprehensive loss from net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, net of tax, was $1.4 million, $27.5 million, and $27.3 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Net Investment in Leveraged Leases   $ 156,512   $ 63,946  

 

The Company is the lessor in various leveraged lease agreements under which airplanes, rail cars, and water-craft, with estimated economic lives ranging from 10 to 36 years, are leased for terms up to 29 years. The Company's equity investment typically represents between 20% and 30% of the purchase price, with the remaining percentage being provided by third-party financing in the form of long-term debt that provides for no recourse against the Company and is secured by a first lien on the asset. The residual value of the leased asset is estimated at the beginning of the leveraged lease agreement, based on appraisals and other methods, and is reviewed at least annually for impairment. At the end of the lease term, the asset is returned to the Company. For federal income tax purposes, the Company receives the benefit of income tax deductions for depreciation on the entire leased asset and for interest on the long-term debt. During the early years of a leveraged lease, income tax deductions exceed lease rental income, resulting in reduced income taxes payable. In the later years of a leveraged lease, lease rental income will exceed income tax deductions, resulting in increased income taxes payable. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect this timing difference. The Company's investment in leveraged leases was $336.9 million and $382.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is reflected as a component of commercial lease financing.

Certain directors and executive officers of the Company, companies in which they are principal owners, and trusts in which they are involved, have loans with the Bank. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business at normal credit terms, including interest rate and collateral requirements.

Note 4.        Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company's portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Substantially all of the residential mortgage loans sold to third parties is sold on a non-recourse basis. The Company's mortgage servicing activities includes collecting principal, interest, and escrow payments from borrowers; making tax and insurance payments on behalf of the borrowers; monitoring delinquencies and executing foreclosure proceedings; and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors. Servicing income, including late and ancillary fees, was $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company's residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed rate loans concentrated in Hawaii.

As noted in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007 and concurrently identified its entire balance of mortgage servicing rights as one class of servicing assets for this fair value measurement. The table below reconciles the balance of the Company's mortgage servicing rights as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2007.

Pre-Tax Cumulative-Effect Adjustment of a Change in Accounting Principle     8,007

Balance as of January 1, 2007   $ 27,444

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the change in the fair value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights was as follows:

Principally reflects changes in discount rates and loan repayment rate assumptions, mostly due to changes in interest rates.

2
Principally represents changes due to the realization of expected cash flows over time.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the change in the carrying value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights, net of a valuation allowance, was as follows:

(dollars in thousands)
   
 

 
Beginning of Year, Amortized Cost   $ 18,010

End of Year, Fair Value   $ 27,444

The key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

 
  2007
  2006
 

 
Weighted-Average Constant Prepayment Rate 1   11.15 % 12.15 %
Weighted-Average Life (in years)   6.08   5.80  
Weighted-Average Note Rate   5.82 % 5.80 %
Weighted-Average Discount Rate   8.56 % 8.57 %
1
Represents annualized loan repayment rate assumption.

Residential mortgage loan repayment rates for the Company's servicing portfolio, which is concentrated in Hawaii, approximated the national average for the year ended December 31, 2007 and were equal to or slightly higher than the national average for the year ended December 31, 2006.

A sensitivity analysis of the Company's fair value of mortgage servicing rights to changes in certain key assumptions as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is presented in the following table.

Sensitivity Analysis


 
(dollars in thousands)
  2007
  2006
 

 
Constant Prepayment Rate              
  Decrease in fair value from 25 basis points ("bps") adverse change   $ (260 ) $ (278 )
  Decrease in fair value from 50 bps adverse change     (516 )   (519 )
Discount Rate              
  Decrease in fair value from 25 bps adverse change     (265 )   (286 )
  Decrease in fair value from 50 bps adverse change     (526 )   (537 )

This analysis generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the change in the fair value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights usually is not linear. Also, the effect of changing one key assumption without changing other assumptions is not realistic. The calculation of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is dynamic in nature, in that changes in one key assumption may result in changes in other assumptions, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivity analysis presented in the table above.

2
The calculated weighted average interest rates for securities sold under agreements to repurchase are computed by dividing actual interest expense on borrowings by the average daily borrowings.

Funds purchased generally mature on the next business day following the date of purchase.

Short-term borrowings include treasury tax and loan balances, which represent tax payments collected on behalf of the U.S. Government, callable at any time and bearing market interest rates, and commercial paper which is issued in various denominations generally maturing 90 days or less from the date of issuance.

The Company's total securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and $0.6 billion as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2007, total securities sold under agreements to repurchase placed with private institutions were $600.0 million, of which $500.0 million were indexed to the London Inter Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") and $100.0 million were at fixed interest rates. As of December 31, 2007, the remaining terms of agreements with private institutions ranged from eight to 14 years. However, the private institutions have the right to terminate the agreements on predetermined dates. If the agreements with private institutions, which are indexed to LIBOR, are not terminated by the predetermined dates, interest rates on the agreements become fixed, at rates ranging from 4.00% to 5.00%, for the remaining term of the respective agreements. As of December 31, 2007, the weighted average interest rate for the Company's agreements with private institutions was 4.09%.

mature in 2009. Under the terms of this program, the Bank may issue additional notes provided that at any time the aggregate amount outstanding does not exceed $1.0 billion.

The Bank is a member of the FHLB. The Bank may borrow funds from the FHLB in amounts up to 15% of the Bank's total assets, provided the Bank is able to pledge an adequate amount of qualified assets to secure the borrowings. The Bank is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank held $61.3 million of FHLB stock which is recorded as a component of other assets.

Bancorp Hawaii Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a grantor trust wholly-owned by the Parent, issued $100.0 million in Capital Securities. The Capital Securities bear a cumulative fixed interest rate of 8.25% and matures on December 15, 2026. Interest payments are made by the Trust semi-annually. The Parent is subject to an expense agreement with the Trust obligating the Parent to pay for any costs, expenses, or liabilities of the Trust, other than obligations of the Trust to pay amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities. The sole assets of the Trust are Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Debt") issued by the Parent to the Trust. The Debt is redeemable prior to the stated maturity at the option of the Parent. The Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon repayment of the related Debt at their stated maturity dates, or their earlier redemption at a redemption price equal to their liquidation amount plus accrued distributions to the date fixed for redemption and the premium, if any, paid by the Parent upon concurrent repayment of the related Debt. The Capital Securities became redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Trust on December 15, 2006. The redemption price for the Capital Securities was equal to 103.7125% as of December 31, 2007 and gradually decreases each year to 100% if redeemed on or after December 15, 2016. The Parent has issued guarantees for the payment of distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Capital Securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the Trust. The guarantees are junior subordinated obligations of the Parent. Distributions to holders of the Capital Securities may be deferred for up to five consecutive years. During any such deferral period the Parent's ability to pay dividends on its common shares will be restricted. The FRB has announced that certain cumulative preferred securities having the characteristics of the Capital Securities qualify as capital, and therefore are included in Tier 1 Capital for bank holding companies. In 2006, the Parent repurchased $5.0 million of Capital Securities in the open market and concurrently the related Debt was redeemed and retired by the Parent. In 2002, the Bank repurchased $68.6 million of Capital Securities in the open market. The Capital Securities held by the Bank were not included in Tier 1 Capital for either the Parent or the Bank. In 2007, the $68.6 million in related Debt was redeemed and retired by the Parent. As of December 31, 2007, a total of $26.4 million in Capital Securities remains outstanding.

In 2006, the Parent issued $25.0 million in privately placed fixed rate notes. Of the $25.0 million in privately placed notes outstanding as of December 31, 2007, $10.0 million matures in four years and bears an interest rate of 6.00% and $15.0 million matures in nine years and bears an interest rate of 6.27%.

Capitalized lease obligations relate to office space at the Company's headquarters. The lease began in 1993 and has a 60 year term. Lease payments are fixed at $0.7 million per year from 2008 to 2012, and are negotiable thereafter.

Leverage Ratio   5%     7.06%     7.01%

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about the components of regulatory capital, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 and Total Capital. Tier 1 Capital is common shareholders' equity plus qualifying Capital Securities, reduced by certain intangible assets, postretirement benefit liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities. Total Capital is Tier 1 Capital plus an allowable reserve for credit losses and qualifying subordinated debt. Three capital ratios are used to measure capital adequacy: Tier 1 Capital divided by risk-weighted assets, as defined; Total Capital divided by risk-weighted assets; and the leverage ratio, which is Tier 1 Capital divided by quarterly average total assets.

70


As of December 31, 2007, the Company and the Bank were well capitalized as defined in the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There were no conditions or events since December 31, 2007 that management believes have changed the Company or the Bank's capital ratings.

FRB regulations require the Bank to maintain reserve balances based on the amount of deposits held. The required reserve balance of the Bank was $40.7 million and $31.9 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Dividends

Dividends paid by the Parent are substantially funded from dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to federal and state regulatory restrictions that limit cash dividends and loans to the Parent. These restrictions generally require advanced approval from the Bank's regulator for payment of dividends in excess of net income for the current calendar year and net income for the prior two calendar years.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

On October 19, 2007, the Parent's Board of Directors increased the authorization under the share repurchase program by an additional $100.0 million. This new authorization, combined with the Parent's previously announced authorizations of $1.55 billion, brought the total authorized repurchase amount to $1.65 billion. Shares repurchased under this program are held in treasury stock for re-issuance in connection with share-based compensation plans and for general corporate purposes. The Parent repurchased 1.9 million shares, 2.5 million shares, and 5.1 million shares during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. From the beginning of the share repurchase program in July 2001 through December 31, 2007, the Parent repurchased a total of 44.3 million shares and returned a total of $1.6 billion to its shareholders at an average cost of $35.08 per share. Remaining buyback authority was $94.3 million as of December 31, 2007. From January 1, 2008 through February 20, 2008, the Parent repurchased an additional 0.4 million shares at a total cost of $18.3 million and at an average cost of $47.79 per share. Remaining buyback authority was $76.1 million as of February 20, 2008.

Note 11.        Earnings Per Share

There were no adjustments to net income, the numerator, for purposes of computing basic earnings per share. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for computing diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005:

Note 12.        Business Segments

The Company's business segments are defined as Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services, and Treasury. The Company's internal management accounting process measures the performance of the business segments based on the management structure of the Company. This process, which is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution, uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income, expense, the Provision, and capital. This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and other subjective factors. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to GAAP. Previously reported results have been reclassified to conform to the current organizational reporting structure.

Retail Banking

The Retail Banking segment offers a broad range of financial products and services to consumers and small businesses. Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases, and installment loans. Deposit products include checking, savings, and time deposit accounts. The Retail Banking segment also provides merchant services to its small business customers. Products and services from the Retail Banking segment are delivered to customers through 71 Hawaii branch locations, 409 ATMs throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, e-Bankoh (on-line banking service), and a 24-hour customer service center and mobile banking service. This segment also offers retail property and casualty insurance products.

Commercial Banking

The Commercial Banking segment offers products including corporate banking and commercial real estate loans, lease financing, auto dealer financing, deposit and cash management products, and property and casualty insurance products. Lending, deposit, and cash management services are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawaii. Commercial real estate mortgages are focused on customers that include investors, developers, and builders primarily domiciled in Hawaii. The Commercial Banking segment also includes the Company's operations at its 12 branches in the Pacific Islands.

Investment Services

The Investment Services segment includes private banking, trust services, asset management, and institutional investment advisory services. A significant portion of this segment's income is derived from fees, which are generally based on the market values of assets under management. The private banking and personal trust group assists individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment, credit, and trust expertise to high-net-worth individuals. The asset management group manages portfolios and creates investment products. Institutional sales and service offers investment advisory services to corporations, government entities, and foundations. This segment also provides a full service brokerage offering equities, mutual funds, life insurance, and annuity products.

Treasury

The primary income earning component of the Treasury segment is its corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management and the Bank's foreign exchange business. This segment's assets and liabilities (and related interest income and expense) consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, funds sold and purchased, government deposits, and short-term and long-term borrowings. The primary sources of noninterest income are from bank-owned life insurance and foreign exchange income related to customer driven currency requests from merchants and island visitors. The net residual effect of transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury, along with eliminations of intercompany transactions.

73


The other organizational units of the Company (Technology, Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Credit and Risk Management, and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) provide a wide-range of support to the Company's other income earning segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process.

Note 13.        Employee Benefits

The Company has a defined contribution plan, two defined benefit plans, and a postretirement benefit plan.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Bank of Hawaii Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") has three Company contribution components in addition to employee contributions: 1) 401(k) matching; 2) a 3% fixed amount based on eligible compensation; and 3) a discretionary value-sharing contribution.

Under the 401(k) matching component, participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation (within federal limits) to the Savings Plan. The Company makes matching contributions on behalf of participants equal to $1.25 for each $1.00 contributed by participants, up to 2% of the participants' eligible compensation, and $0.50 for every $1.00 contributed by participants over 2%, up to 5% of the participants' eligible compensation. A 3% fixed contribution and a discretionary value-sharing contribution, that is linked to the Company's financial goals, are made regardless of whether the participating employee contributes to the Savings Plan and are invested in accordance with the participant's selection of investment options available under the Savings Plan. The Company also has a non-qualified savings plan which covers certain employees with compensation exceeding IRS limits on pay amounts usable in the allocations of Savings Plan benefits. Total expense under all Savings Plan components was $10.7 million, $11.5 million, and $12.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company has two defined benefit plans (the "Pension Plans"). In 1995, the Company froze its non-contributory, qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the "Retirement Plan") and excess retirement plan (the "Excess Plan"), which covered employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries who met certain eligibility requirements. Beginning January 1, 2001, the Retirement Plan no longer provided for compensation increases in the determination of benefits. The projected benefit obligation is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation due to the frozen status of the plans.

Retirement Plan assets primarily consist of a collective investment fund and marketable securities including equity securities, U.S. government treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, and money market and mutual funds. The assets of the Retirement Plan include investments in a Bank of Hawaii collective investment fund and securities of related parties (Pacific Capital Funds family of mutual funds). The Asset Management Group of the Bank, an SEC registered investment adviser, serves as investment advisor to the Pacific Capital Funds family of mutual funds. The Bank manages the Bank of Hawaii collective investment fund. The fair value of Retirement Plan assets managed by related parties were $27.3 million and $24.3 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Excess Plan is a non-qualified excess retirement benefit plan which covers certain employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries with compensation exceeding IRS limits on pay amounts applicable to the Retirement Plan's benefit formula. The Excess Plan has no plan assets. The Excess Plan's projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and accrued benefit liability each were $5.1 million and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Postretirement Benefit Plan

The Company's postretirement benefit plan provides retirees with life, dental, and medical insurance coverage. The retiree life insurance benefit for participants who retired after 2003 was terminated as of December 31, 2003. For eligible participants that retired between the ages of 62 and 64, the Company and retiree shared in the cost of providing postretirement benefits where both the employer and former employees pay a portion of the premium. Eligible participants that retired before age 62 continued on the Company's benefit plans, but pay for their full premiums. Most employees of the Company who have met certain eligibility requirements are covered

75



by this plan. The Company amended the postretirement medical plan for employees who as of December 31, 2008 will not yet be retired and will not yet be: 1) at least 55 years old with at least 10 years of service, with at least 70 years of combined age and service; or 2) at least 65 years old with at least 5 years of service, with at least 70 years of combined age and service. The plan amendment provides for eligible participants, a Health Reimbursement Account ("HRA") in which most retirees receive an initial credit of $500 with a 3% annual increase capped at $1,000 for each year of service. Thereafter, an annual individual credit of $300, or $600 if married, with a 3.0% annual increase until reaching a maximum of $600 for an individual, or $1,200 if married, is provided into the HRA. The retiree may use the HRA for medical, vision, prescription drug and dental premiums, co-payments, and medically necessary health care expenses that are not covered by any medical or dental insurance program or flexible health spending account. The impact of this amendment eliminated the remaining unrecognized transition obligation and established an unrecognized prior service credit which was reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in accordance with SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no segregated assets to provide for postretirement benefits.

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in fair value of plan assets, and the funded status recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition for the Pension Plans and postretirement benefit plan for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost   $ 1,113   $ 1,627   $ 1,476   $ 1,617   $ 3,256   $ 3,302  

 

The estimated net actuarial loss for the Pension Plans that is expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net period benefit cost for the year ending December 31, 2008 is $1.1 million. The estimated net gain and prior service credit for the postretirement plan that is expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost for the year ending December 31, 2008 is $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 for the Pension Plans and postretirement benefit plan were as follows:

 
  Pension Benefits
  Postretirement Benefits
 
 
 
  2007

Weighted Average Assumptions as of December 31:                
  Discount Rate   6.85%   5.80%   6.85%   5.80%
  Health Care Cost Trend Rate Assumed For Next Year       6.50%   7.50%

The health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease annually, until reaching the ultimate trend rate of 5% in 2010.

Assumptions used to determine the Company's net periodic benefit cost for the Pension Plans and postretirement benefit plan for years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were as follows:

 
  Pension Benefits
  Postretirement Benefits

The Benefit Plans Committee of the Company provides oversight of the Retirement Plan's investment objective, which is to provide its participants with retirement income and to assist retirees in coping with inflation. To achieve this goal, the Benefit Plans Committee seeks a return on investment that will enhance the purchasing power of the principal amount of these assets over the long-term through capital appreciation and reinvestment of income. The Benefit Plans Committee seeks a compounded annual total rate of return greater than the return of the "Market Index" or 400 basis points above the return of 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills, whichever is higher, on a trailing three-year basis. The "Market Index" is composed of 60% S&P 500 Index, 15% Russell 2000 Index, and 25% Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index. The Benefit Plans Committee also seeks to protect the Retirement Plan assets through prudent asset allocation, manager selection, and periodic review. Investments in equity and fixed income securities are diversified in a way that is consistent with the risk tolerance and investment objective of the Retirement Plan. The allocation of the Retirement Plan assets by major category, based upon their relative fair values, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Plan Assets as of December 31,

The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 did not have a material impact on the Company's income before provision for income taxes and net income. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those stock options and restricted stock to be reported as financing cash flows. A tax benefit of $3.5 million and $7.6 million was classified as financing cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For share-based compensation recognized for the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), as well as pro forma disclosures according to the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock options granted. There were no stock options granted in 2007. The weighted

79



average estimated fair values of stock option grants and the assumptions that were used in calculating such fair values were based on estimates at the date of grant as follows:

 
  2006
  2005

Weighted Average Fair Value of Options            
  Granted During the Year   $ 11.99   $ 10.39
Stock Options Granted During the Year     24,101     278,126
Assumptions:            
  Average Risk Free Interest Rate     4.92%     4.32%
  Average Expected Volatility     22.07%     22.07%
  Expected Dividend Yield     2.73%     2.80%
  Expected Life     5.6 years     5.6 years

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Parent's common stock over the expected term of the options, excluding the interim years 2000-2003. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the option pricing model. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant.

The method of estimating the average expected volatility was changed in 2005 to consider the change in daily market price of the Parent's common stock over the expected term of the stock options, excluding the interim years 2000-2003. During this excluded period, the Company divested most of its foreign and U.S. mainland operations in addition to outsourcing its information technology systems. The volatility during that period was not considered representative of the Company's normal volatility measure. The change in the volatility assumption resulted in a decrease in the stock option fair value.

Employee and director share-based compensation expense recognized for stock options and restricted stock was $5.7 million, $5.0 million, and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized was $2.5 million, $2.1 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Director Stock Compensation Program

The Company has a Director Stock Compensation Program that allows for annual grants of shares of restricted common stock ("Restricted Shares") to each non-employee director. The Restricted Shares vest after three years or upon death or disability, if earlier. The Restricted Shares are generally not transferable. The total number of shares authorized for awards under the Director Stock Compensation Program was 471,900 as of December 31, 2007.

Prior to 2007, the Company also issued stock options to each non-employee director. Stock options granted in 2006 and 2005 vest ratably over three years and expire at the earliest of 1) three months after termination of the director's membership on the Parent or Bank's Board of Directors for any reason other than death or disability; 2) one year after termination of the director's membership on the Parent or Bank's Board of Directors due to death or disability; or 3) ten years after the date of grant. The Company recognizes directors' fees, measured as the fair value of the equity award on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Stock options granted prior to 2005 are immediately exercisable and expire ten years from the date of grant. However, the shares received upon exercise of the stock options ("Option Shares") are restricted. The restriction period for both Restricted Shares and Option Shares continues as long as the director remains a member of the Parent or Bank's Board of Directors. If an optionee ceases to serve as a director prior to the end of his or her term, for any reason other than death, disability or change in control of the Company, the Option Shares will be

80



redeemed by the Company at the exercise price and any unexercised options and Restricted Shares will be forfeited.

As of December 31, 2007, there were 203,471 stock options and 53,265 Restricted Shares outstanding under this program.

Employee Stock Option Plans

The Company's employee stock option plans are shareholder approved and administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the employee stock option plans may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units. The total number of shares authorized for awards under the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan was 1.7 million as of December 31, 2007.

Stock Options

Stock options provide grantees the option to purchase shares of common stock at a specified exercise price and, generally, expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock option grants include incentive and nonqualified stock options whose vesting may be based on a service period and/or Company performance measures. Generally, options granted prior to December 2005 had vesting terms of one or three years. Options granted in December 2005 and in prior years were fully vested as of December 31, 2005. The exercise prices were equal to the fair value of the shares on the dates the options were granted. The Company recognizes compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the stock option on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. No stock options were granted to employees in 2007 and 2006.

In December 2005, the Company vested all employee stock options. The stock options would have vested in future periods based on completion of service. Upon accelerated vesting, no share-based compensation expense related to these stock options was required in future periods. The accelerated vesting resulted in an expense of approximately $117,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company reissues treasury stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

Restricted Stock

Restricted Stock provides grantees with rights to shares of common stock upon completion of a service period or achievement of Company performance measures. During the restriction period, all shares are considered outstanding and dividends are paid on the Restricted Stock. Generally, Restricted Stock vests over periods ranging from three to ten years from the date of grant, although accelerated vesting was provided for in certain grants, based on the attainment of defined Company performance measures. The Company recognizes compensation expense, measured as the quoted market price of the Restricted Stock on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for service period vesting, plus additional recognition of the costs associated with accelerated vesting based upon projected attainment of Company performance measures. Restricted Stock is forfeited if an employee terminates prior to vesting.

As of December 31, 2007, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock was $9.6 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

The grant date fair value of restricted stock that vested and the weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted are presented in the following table for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

Restricted Stock Units

A Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") entitles grantees to a cash payment based upon the fair value of the Parent's common stock at the time the award vests. During the vesting period, the participant is entitled to dividend equivalent payments equal to dividends declared on the Parent's common stock. Expenses associated with RSUs are considered share-based compensation expense and are recognized over the vesting period. The RSUs granted in 2007 were based upon achieving certain performance objectives which were met, resulting in the vesting of

82



that grant. The RSUs granted in 2003 were based on the achievement of certain performance objectives, 50% of the grant vested on April 30, 2004 and the remaining 50% vested on March 31, 2005. For certain grantees, the original award was supplemented with additional RSUs after the original vesting period, based upon the achievement of certain additional performance objectives. Total expense recognized for RSUs was $1.0 million, $0.6 million, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Deferred Tax Liabilities and Assets

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)
  2007

  Accelerated Depreciation     10,004     16,864  
  Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses     25,052     26,498  
  Minimum Pension Liability     3,047     6,103  
  Net Unrealized Losses on Investments Securities Available-for-Sale     1,336     15,463  
  Accrued Expenses     11,173     19,700  
  Postretirement Benefits     15,180     15,517  
  Other     3,649     11,808  

 
Gross Deferred Tax Assets     69,441     111,953  

 
Net Deferred Tax Liabilities   $ (155,657 ) $ (238,219 )

 

For financial statement purposes, no deferred tax liability was recorded for income taxes related to the Allowance that arose in tax years beginning before December 31, 1987. Such tax related Allowances were $18.2 million as of December 31, 1987. If these amounts are used for purposes other than to absorb loan and lease losses, they will be subject to federal income taxes at the then applicable income tax rates.

Management believes that a valuation reserve is not required for the Company's deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and to a lesser extent, future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

LILO and SILO Transactions

As noted in Note 1, the Company reached an agreement with the IRS to effectively settle the matter related to the LILO transaction in June 2007. The effective settlement with the IRS resulted in a change in the timing of projected cash flows from the LILO transaction. With the effective settlement of the LILO transaction at a disallowance percentage of less than its original estimate, the Company recalculated the total and periodic income from the LILO transaction from the inception of the lease through June 30, 2007. In June 2007, the Company recorded a $1.5 million credit, which was comprised of a $1.1 million credit to lease financing interest income and a $0.4 million net credit to the provision for income taxes, as a result of the June 2007 change in the disallowance assumption. The Company expects to finalize the settlement of the LILO transaction with the IRS and adjust related asset and liability accounts in 2008. The Company is currently appealing issues raised by the IRS in the examination of its income tax returns filed for 1999 through 2002 related to the Company's five SILO transactions. As of December 31, 2007, the IRS continues to review the Company's SILO transactions.

FIN 48 and Unrecognized Tax Benefits

FIN 48 requires the Company to record a liability, referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit ("UTB"), for the entire amount of benefit taken in a prior or future income tax return when the Company determines that a tax position has a less than 50% likelihood of being accepted by the taxing authority. If the Company determines that the likelihood of a tax position being accepted is greater than 50%, but less than 100%, the Company records a liability for UTBs in the amount it believes may be disallowed by the taxing authority. The following presents a reconciliation of the Company's UTBs as of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007:

(dollars in thousands)
   
 

 
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at Beginning of Year   $ 130,600  
  Gross Increases, Related to Tax Positions Taken in a Prior Period     600  
  Settlements with Taxing Authorities     (770 )

 
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at End of Year   $ 130,430  

 

As of January 1, 2007, of the $130.6 million in the Company's liability for UTBs, $29.3 million was related to UTBs that if reversed would have an impact on the Company's effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2007, of the $130.4 million in the Company's liability for UTBs, $29.1 million was related to UTBs that if reversed would have an impact on the Company's effective tax rate.

With respect to the Company's appeals of its five SILO transactions, it is reasonably possible that the amount of the liability for UTBs may decrease if facts and circumstances related to the IRS appeals change within the next twelve months. However, management is currently not able to estimate a range of possible change in the amount of the liability for UTBs recorded as of December 31, 2007.

The Company classifies interest and penalties, if any, related to the liability for UTBs as a component of the provision for income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a net credit of $0.2 million for interest and penalties through the provision for income taxes. As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had accrued $21.7 million and $21.5 million, respectively, for the payment of possible interest and penalties.

The IRS is currently in the process of examining income tax returns filed for 2003 and 2004. The State of Hawaii is currently in the process of examining income tax returns filed for 2003 and 2004.

Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act

In May 2006, the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act was enacted by Congress effective January 1, 2007, which resulted in the repeal of the exclusion from federal income taxation of a portion of the income from foreign sales corporations. The Company had two leveraged leases that were affected by this change in tax law. SFAS No. 13 requires that the cumulative-effect of a change in a significant assumption affecting the net income recorded over the entire term of a lease, such as a change in tax law, be recognized as a cumulative adjustment to the lease in the period in which the change occurs. Accordingly, in 2006, the Company recorded an $8.8 million charge to reflect the cumulative-effect of the change in tax law. This charge included a $0.6 million reduction of lease interest income and an increase of $8.2 million to the provision for income taxes.

Note 16.        Derivative Financial Instruments

The derivative financial instruments identified and recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

 
  Notional Amount
  Fair Value
  Notional Amount
  Fair Value
 
(dollars in thousands)
  2007

Foreign Exchange Contracts   $ 106,189   $ 275   $ 195,151   $ (647 )
Forward Commitments     27,197     (46 )   27,225     177  
Interest Rate Lock Commitments     24,139     110     19,806     (40 )
Interest Rate Swap Agreements     301,431         39,350      

The Company is a party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of its business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. These financial instruments have been limited to foreign exchange contracts, forward commitments, interest rate lock commitments, and interest rate swap agreements.

Derivative financial instruments are required to be carried at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not designate any derivative financial instruments as fair value, cash flow, or net investment in foreign operations hedges. The Company's free-standing derivative financial instruments have been recorded at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition.

The Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to offset risks related to transactions executed on behalf of customers. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts are included in fees, exchange, and other service charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company also enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans to reduce interest rate risk associated with loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments to fund loans at a specified interest rate. The forward commitments and interest rate lock commitments are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the mortgage banking component of noninterest income. At inception, the Company recognizes a zero fair value for its forward commitments and interest rate lock commitments. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and passage of time.

All of the Company's interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were to facilitate the risk management strategies of a small number of commercial banking customers. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into equal and offsetting interest rate swap agreements with highly rated third parties.

86


As with any financial instrument, derivative financial instruments have inherent risks. Adverse changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices affect the Company's market risks. The market risks are balanced with the expected returns to enhance earnings performance and shareholder value, while limiting the volatility of each. The Company uses various processes to monitor its overall market risk exposure, including sensitivity analysis, value-at-risk calculations, and other methodologies.

The Company's exposure to derivative credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss due to the failure of the counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. Credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments are similar to those relating to traditional on-balance sheet financial instruments. The Company manages derivative credit risk with the same standards and procedures applied to its commercial lending activities.

Note 17.        Commitments and Contingencies

The Company's credit commitments as of December 31, 2007 were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)
  Total

Unfunded Commitments to Extend Credit   $ 2,593,574
Standby Letters of Credit     94,769
Commercial Letters of Credit     27,905

Total Credit Commitments   $ 2,716,248

Unfunded Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally become payable upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The Company holds cash and deposits as collateral on those standby letters of credit for which collateral is deemed necessary. Assets valued at $28.1 million secured certain specifically identified standby and commercial letters of credit as of December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the standby and commercial letters of credit had remaining terms ranging from one month to three years.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain branch premises and equipment with lease terms extending through 2036. The Company's headquarters' building lease term is through 2052. Most of the leases for premises provide for a base rent over a specified period with renewal options thereafter. Portions of certain properties are subleased for periods expiring in various years through 2014. Lease terms generally specify that the Company is to pay for taxes, maintenance, and other operating costs.

Technology Services Contract

The Company has a contract with a vendor to provide for technology services related to the Company's core systems and applications.

Contingencies

On October 3, 2007, Visa, Inc. ("Visa") announced that it had completed restructuring transactions in preparation for its initial public offering ("IPO"), expected to occur in the first quarter of 2008. As part of this restructuring, the Company received approximately 0.9 million shares of restricted Class USA stock of Visa in exchange for the Company's membership interests. A portion of these shares may be redeemed in connection

88



with the proposed IPO with the remaining shares converted to Class B shares which will be restricted for a period of three years after the IPO or upon settlement of litigation claims, whichever is later. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss upon receipt of the Class USA shares of Visa. If the IPO is completed as planned, the Company may realize a gain upon the redemption, sale, or release of transfer restrictions of the Class B shares. Management cannot estimate the amount of this contingent gain or the timing of its recognition. Visa is expected to apply a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to fund an escrow account to cover litigation judgments and settlements that are discussed below.

On November 7, 2007 Visa announced that it had reached an agreement with American Express related to its claim that Visa and its member banks had illegally blocked American Express from the bank-issued card business in the United States. The Company was not a named defendant in the lawsuit and, therefore was not directly liable for any amount of the settlement. However, according to an interpretation of Visa's by-laws, the Company and other Visa U.S.A., Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visa) members are obligated to indemnify Visa for certain losses, including the settlement of the American Express matter. The Company's indemnification obligation is limited to its proportionate interest in Visa U.S.A., Inc. Based on the announced settlement amount and the Company's proportionate interest in Visa U.S.A., Inc., a liability and charge to other noninterest expense of $4.3 million was established and recorded as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Although an interpretation of Visa's by-laws could require the Company to fund this amount to Visa, it is anticipated that the proceeds from the IPO, will be used to settle this matter with American Express.

Other litigation covered by the Company's indemnification of Visa and expected to be settled from the escrow account include: 1) a lawsuit filed by Discover Financial Services, Inc. claiming that Visa prevented banks from issuing payment cards on the Discover network; 2) class action lawsuits filed on behalf of merchants who accept payment cards against Visa U.S.A., Inc. claiming that the setting of interchange is unlawful, among other claims; and 3) a consumer class action lawsuit against Visa U.S.A., Inc., Visa International, and MasterCard alleging unfair competition. The Company recorded a liability and a charge to other noninterest expense of $1.3 million related to the Discover Financial Services, Inc. lawsuit as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Management cannot reasonably estimate the liability to Visa, if any, for the costs of additional lawsuits as of December 31, 2007.

In addition to the Visa litigation, the Company is subject to various other pending and threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes current reserves determined in accordance with GAAP are adequate and the amount of an incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Note 18.        Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. When possible, fair values are measured based on quoted market prices for the same or comparable instruments. Because many of the Company's financial instruments lack an available market price, management must use its best judgment in estimating the fair value of those instruments based on present value or other valuation techniques. Such techniques are significantly affected by estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate, future cash flows, economic conditions, risk characteristics, and other relevant factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve assumptions and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Many of the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

89


The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Condition for cash and short-term investments approximated the fair value of these assets.

Investment Securities

Fair values of investment securities were based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values were based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans and Leases

Fair values of loans and leases were determined by discounting the expected future cash flows of pools of loans with similar characteristics. Loans were first segregated by type such as commercial, real estate, and consumer, and were then further segmented into fixed and variable rate and loan quality categories. Expected future cash flows were projected based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Deposit Liabilities

Fair values of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits were equal to the amount payable on demand (i.e., their carrying amounts) because these products have no stated maturity. Fair values of time deposits were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used were based on rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of funds purchased, commercial paper, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other short-term borrowings approximated their fair values.

Long-Term Debt

Fair values of long-term debt were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments where the contract amounts represent credit risk (e.g., unfunded commitments to extend credit, and standby and commercial letters of credit) were based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing and current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Fair values of financial instruments where the notional or contract amounts exceeded the amount of credit risk (e.g., foreign exchange contracts, forward commitments, interest rate lock commitments, and interest rate swap agreements) were based on quoted market prices or a discounted cash flow analyses.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of December 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable published financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.

Management assessed the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control–Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assert that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the specified criteria.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bank of Hawaii Corporation

We have audited Bank of Hawaii Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Bank of Hawaii Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Bank of Hawaii Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of condition of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 and our report dated February 22, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
