Central Pacific Bank reports increased net income in Q1 earnings
The bank reported $88.3 million in revenue in the quarter.
The parent company of Central Pacific Bank reported an increase in net income and earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025.
Honolulu-based Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF), parent of Central Pacific Bank, released its first quarter earnings report on Wednesday, reporting net income of $17.8 million, or 65 cents per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.9 million, or 48 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2024.
The bank reported $88.3 million in revenue in the quarter.
"Our first quarter financial results were solid and continue to trend favorably,' Chairman, President and CEO Arnold Martines said in a statement. 'Through our balance sheet optimization and strong focus on meeting the needs of our customers, we were successful in continuing to meaningfully grow net interest income and net interest margin.'
CPB reported net interest income of $57.7 million for the first quarter, a 15% increase from the first quarter of 2024.
The bank's total assets decreased as of March 31 to $7.41 billion, down from $7.47 billion Dec. 31.
'Our asset quality has improved further with a decline in net charge-offs and continued low levels of non-performing assets,' Martines said. 'With our strong capital, liquidity and credit positions, we believe we are well positioned to navigate the current operating environment.'
Central Pacific Bank operates 27 branches and 55 ATMs in Hawaii.

'It's just ugly': Hawaii residents fed up with 'monster home' that's been standing 'derelict' for 3 years
Nestled in the Honolulu neighborhood of Kaimuki, a partially constructed building at 3615 Sierra Drive has become a focal point of contention. One of Hawaii's so-called 'monster homes' — unusually large residences, sometimes occupied by dozens of people — the structure has stood incomplete for three years, drawing criticism from residents and scrutiny from city officials. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) 'It's really just a disguised apartment house with inadequate parking, so as a nearby resident, I think it really should just be torn down,' a Kaimuki resident said, according to KHON2 News in a story published May 27. Here's the story behind the property, and why residents are so unhappy. Three years ago, the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) revoked the property's building permit after discovering discrepancies between the approved plans and the actual construction, per KHON2 News. A report by Hawai'i Public Radio says the structure exceeded the city's floor area ratio threshold, had more bathrooms and wet bars than permitted and lacked sufficient side and rear yards. After an appeal by the property owner was denied, new building permit applications to comply with the ordinance were filed, which are under review by the DPP, according to KHON2 News. A department spokesperson told the local broadcaster 'the owner must pay a triple fee penalty for the permit, and possibly remove any portions of the work that do not comply with the monster homes ordinance.' The DPP also noted that since 2022, 17 building permits have been revoked as part of a crackdown on such developments. Meanwhile, residents have voiced concerns about this particular unfinished building attracting illegal activity and being an eyesore. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire?

Another resident, Daniel, told the broadcaster: 'Unfortunately, this monster home is very visible, that's the problem … It's just ugly.' Honolulu City Councillor Tyler Dos Santos-Tam spoke with KHON2 News last year to explain why monster homes can be a problem, particularly the one at 3615 Sierra Drive. He described these homes as large and often stretching to the border of the lot. 'Frequently, you'll see numerous entry points — disguised as back doors or side doors — but really serving as the entrances to separate units. Monster homes will have dozens of bedrooms. At 3615 Sierra Drive, for example, the building had 19 bathrooms and 21 bedrooms.' Unlike other parts of the city where there are high-rise buildings, this building was located in Kaimuki, 'where no house has more than, say, five bedrooms,' Dos Santos-Tam said. Since the neighborhood wasn't designed with high-density housing in mind, a monster home could potentially lead to problems. 'Assuming each bedroom goes to a separate person — which it often does — that's potentially 21 new cars using street parking. That's 21 new people using the area infrastructure — electrical, plumbing, water. That's 21 new people who often aren't attuned to the surrounding community.

Nordstrom is coming back to San Francisco — but not how you remember it
The move comes nearly two years after the retailer's dramatic departure from downtown San Francisco, where it closed both its flagship store at Westfield Mall and a nearby Nordstrom Rack in 2023. Unlike its full-scale department stores, the upcoming 1,648-square-foot Nordstrom Local, set to open at 1919 Fillmore St., will not carry traditional retail inventory. Instead, it will function as a neighborhood hub offering online order pickups, returns, tailoring and personal styling appointments. The space will feature eight dressing rooms, a styling suite, and customer amenities including same-day delivery — and even a glass of wine or beer during visits. 'We're welcoming Nordstrom back,' said Planning Commission President Lydia So during the hearing. 'And we're welcoming whoever else wants to come back — or those who never considered coming here because things are hard.' After months of debate and outreach, the commission approved the proposal in a 5–2 vote. Still, the decision was not without controversy. Several residents and small business owners voiced concern that the store would worsen traffic congestion and fail to align with the neighborhood's character. 'This will increase traffic and hurt small businesses,' wrote Sharon Esker, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1969. 'It is not a retail store and I would like a better alternative to this space.' Neighbor Ditka Reiner criticized the landlord's decision to lease to a national retailer, noting that 'chain stores typically contribute to rising rents that push out small, local, independent businesses that are the backbone of a city.' The storefront, previously home to Minted, has been vacant since the early days of the pandemic and has become a symbol of the city's broader commercial vacancy crisis. But support for the project also came from a number of Fillmore Street merchants. 'Nordstrom has long been a responsible and engaged member of San Francisco's business landscape,' wrote Molly Leonetti, president of local boutique Clare V. 'Their presence will not only bring new energy to Fillmore Street but also support the success of neighboring businesses, including ours.' Andrew Graham, vice president of sales at San Francisco-based Marine Layer, agreed. 'Their convenient services, from order pickups to alterations, will attract customers who are likely to explore and shop at nearby stores, further strengthening the local economy,' he wrote. The debate around Nordstrom's return underscores ongoing tensions in San Francisco's recovery, between attracting commercial tenants to fill empty storefronts and preserving the unique character of neighborhood retail corridors.
