HONOLULU, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (American), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE), today reported net income of $19.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $30.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.
"We're pleased with our financial results for the third quarter, which reflect continued solid performance and good credit quality, the latter of which drove an additional release of reserves. The governor's recent announcement encouraging visitors to return is a positive sign for our local economy and community," said Ann Teranishi, president and chief executive officer of American. "We continue to build our capabilities to provide even more value to our customers through digital banking services and customized financial solutions, while delivering the superior customer experience we're known for," said Teranishi.
Financial Highlights
Third quarter 2021 net interest income was $60.3 million compared to $60.8 million in the linked quarter and $57.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The relatively flat net interest income versus the linked quarter reflected the impact of lower yields and lower recognition of fees associated with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan portfolio, partially offset by higher earning assets driven by increased liquidity from continued deposit growth. The increase in net interest income versus the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to growth in earning assets, lower cost of funds and higher fee income associated with the PPP loan portfolio. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 2.90% compared to 2.98% in the linked quarter and 3.12% in the third quarter of 2020. Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2021 was 2.94% compared to 3.34% for the same period in 2020.
The results for the third quarter of 2021 included a negative provision for credit losses of $1.7 million, reflecting credit upgrades in the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios and consumer loan paydowns. This compares to a negative provision for credit losses of $12.2 million in the linked quarter and a provision for credit losses of $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2021, American's allowance for credit losses to outstanding loans was 1.48% compared to 1.51% as of June 30, 2021 and 1.67% as of September 30, 2020.
The net charge-off ratio for the third quarter of 2021 was 0.03%, compared to 0.04% in the linked quarter and 0.32% in the third quarter of 2020. Nonaccrual loans as a percent of total loans receivable held for investment were 0.97% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 1.03% in the linked quarter and 0.77% in the prior year quarter.
Noninterest income was $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $15.2 million in the linked quarter and $19.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in noninterest income from the linked quarter was primarily due to lower fee income from financial services and lower mortgage banking income, partially offset by higher bank-owned life insurance income and fee income on deposit liabilities. The decrease in noninterest income from the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower mortgage banking income.
Third quarter of 2021 noninterest expense was $51.5 million, compared to $48.2 million in the linked quarter and $47.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs reflecting the bank's strong performance for the first nine months of the year. The third quarter of 2021 also included higher data processing expense as the bank upgrades its technology and data analytic capabilities, partially offset by lower occupancy costs as the bank continues to optimize its branch footprint in connection with its digital transformation.
Total earning assets as of September 30, 2021 were $8.4 billion, up 9.3% from December 31, 2020.
Total loans were $5.1 billion as of September 30, 2021, down 1.3% compared to June 30, 2021 and down 4.0% from December 31, 2020. The reduction in the loan portfolio during the quarter included approximately $111 million in forgiven PPP loans, as well as declines in the home equity line of credit and consumer portfolios. The decrease in these portfolios was partially offset by growth in the residential, commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. Excluding PPP loan forgiveness, the loan portfolio grew by $46 million or 0.9% compared to June 30, 2021.
The investment securities portfolio was $3.1 billion as of September 30, 2021, up 39.8% from December 31, 2020 as growth in deposits continued to outpace loan growth. The portfolio is primarily comprised of securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored agencies.
Total deposits were $8.0 billion as of September 30, 2021, an increase of 1.3% compared to June 30, 2021 and an increase of 8.0% from December 31, 2020. For the third quarter of 2021, the average cost of funds was 0.06%, down one basis point versus the linked quarter and down seven basis points versus the prior year quarter.
For the third quarter of 2021 return on average equity was 10.3%, compared to 16.8% in the linked quarter and 6.8% in the third quarter of 2020. Return on average assets was 0.86% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 1.38% in the linked quarter and 0.61% in the same quarter last year.
In the third quarter of 2021, American paid dividends of $12.0 million to HEI. American had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.0% as of September 30, 2021.
