        for the full year 2009, up 24.3% from 2008.  Substantially all of these
        loans were sold in the secondary market, primarily to Fannie Mae and
        Freddie Mac.
    --  Recognized total credit costs of $88.5 million in the fourth quarter,
        comprised primarily of a provision for loan and lease losses of $84.3

        million.  Credit costs in the third quarter of 2009 totaled $145.1
        million.
    --  Increased allowance for loan and lease losses, as a percentage of total
        loans and leases, to 6.70% at December 31, 2009 from 5.93% at September

    --  Maintained tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and
        leverage capital ratios as of December 31, 2009 of 10.16%, 11.47%, and
        7.23%, respectively.

During the fourth quarter, the Company reduced its credit risk exposure by selling $204.4 million of commercial real estate loans, comprised of $126.7 million from its Mainland portfolio and $77.7 million from its Hawaii portfolio. These loans, of which $53.1 million were nonperforming, were sold at an aggregate discount of 18.9% compared to their book values at the time of the sales.

"While our quarterly results continue to reflect elevated credit costs, we are making progress on our near-term objectives of improving our capital position and reducing credit risk, while maintaining strong liquidity," said Ronald K. Migita, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter, we reduced our exposure to the commercial real estate markets in Hawaii and California by selling more than $200 million of commercial real estate loans. We will continue to pursue loan sales, along with other measures, to improve our asset quality."

"Raising additional capital is also a top priority for us and we continue to make progress," Migita added. "We are exploring all capital raising options, including private equity placements and public offerings. Currently, we are in discussions with potential investors."

Earnings Highlights

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $38.5 million, compared to $49.1 million in the year-ago quarter and $43.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. The net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.30%, compared to 4.03% in the year-ago quarter and 3.56% in the third quarter of 2009. The sequential-quarter and year-over-year compression in the net interest margin was the result of lower loan yields. Excluding the effects of interest reversals on nonaccrual loans, the net interest margin was 3.46% for the current quarter, compared to 4.04% in the year-ago quarter and 3.72% in the third quarter of 2009.

The provision for loan and lease losses in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $84.3 million, compared to $26.7 million in the year-ago quarter and $142.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. The current quarter's provision reflects the continued weakness in the Hawaii and California commercial real estate portfolios driven by ongoing pressure experienced by certain commercial real estate borrowers.

Other operating income totaled $11.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $16.9 million in the year-ago quarter and $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease from the year-ago quarter was primarily due to: (1) lower unrealized gains on outstanding interest rate locks during the current quarter totaling $3.8 million and (2) lower non-cash gains related to the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge totaling $2.0 million. The sequential-quarter decrease was primarily due to: (1) lower unrealized gains on outstanding interest rate locks during the current quarter totaling $1.6 million, (2) lower non-cash gains related to the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge totaling $1.3 million and (3) lower gains on sales of residential loans totaling $1.1 million.

Other operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $43.9 million, compared to $43.6 million in the year-ago quarter and $89.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. The modest increase from the year-ago quarter reflects: (1) higher write-downs on loans held for sale totaling $2.4 million, (2) higher legal and professional fees totaling $1.6 million, (3) higher FDIC insurance expense totaling $1.0 million and (4) the reversal of certain incentive compensation accruals in the year-ago quarter totaling $1.8 million, offset by: (1) a non-cash mortgage servicing rights impairment charge totaling $3.4 million and the recognition of a counterparty loss on a financing transaction totaling $2.8 million in the year-ago quarter and (2) lower reserves for unfunded commitments totaling $1.4 million. The sequential-quarter decrease was primarily due to (1) the $50.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2009 and (2) lower foreclosed asset expense totaling $4.8 million, partially offset by: (1) higher write-downs on loans held for sale totaling $3.6 million, (2) higher reserves for unfunded commitments totaling $2.8 million and (3) higher legal and professional fees totaling $2.5 million.

The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 77.04% (excluding the write-down on loans held for sale of $3.6 million and foreclosed asset expense of $0.7 million), compared with 57.11% in the year-ago quarter (excluding the recognition of a counterparty loss on a financing transaction totaling $2.8 million, the write-down of loans held for sale totaling $1.3 million, and foreclosed asset expense of $0.7 million) and 55.82% (excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $50.0 million and foreclosed asset expense of $5.5 million) in the third quarter of 2009. The sequential quarter increase was the result of: (1) higher professional fees totaling $2.5 million primarily related to the maintenance of certain impaired assets, (2) a $2.8 million decrease in the reserves for unfunded commitments during the third quarter of 2009, and (3) lower net interest income and other operating income of $5.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

During the fourth quarter, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.1 million. The nominal income tax benefit despite the loss before income taxes of $77.9 million was due to an increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets totaling $32.0 million.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets at December 31, 2009 were $4.9 billion, compared to $5.4 billion and $5.2 billion at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Total loans and leases at December 31, 2009 were $3.1 billion, compared to $4.0 billion and $3.5 billion at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The current quarter decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the mainland loan portfolio totaling $171.7 million and a decrease in the Hawaii construction and commercial real estate loan portfolio totaling $165.8 million. The decrease in these portfolios was attributable to the loan sales mentioned above, as well as charge-offs and paydowns.

Total deposits at December 31, 2009 were $3.6 billion, compared to $3.9 billion at both December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009. Core deposits of $3.0 billion at December 31, 2009 increased by $145.8 million from a year ago and decreased by $192.6 million from September 30, 2009. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased during the current quarter by $41.0 million, while noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits decreased during the fourth quarter by $9.3 million, $228.7 million, and $95.0 million, respectively.

Total shareholders' equity was $356.9 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $526.3 million and $436.6 million at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2009 totaled $520.8 million, or 10.65% of total assets, compared to $418.5 million, or 8.09%, of total assets at September 30, 2009. The sequential-quarter increase reflects further deterioration in the Hawaii construction portfolios, which included net additions of $57.3 million in Hawaii residential construction loans and $49.5 million in Hawaii commercial construction loans.

Loans delinquent for 90 days or more still accruing interest decreased from $27.7 million at September 30, 2009, to $3.3 million at December 31, 2009. In addition, loans delinquent for 30 days or more still accruing interest decreased from $53.7 million at September 30, 2009, to $51.5 million at December 31, 2009.

Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $83.9 million, compared to $7.0 million in the year-ago quarter and $103.7 million in the third quarter of 2009.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases was 6.70% at December 31, 2009, compared to 5.93% at September 30, 2009. The increase was attributable to the decrease in the loan portfolio and the $84.3 million provision for loan and lease losses, offset by net loan charge-offs totaling $83.9 million.

Hawaii Construction and Commercial Real Estate Loans

At December 31, 2009, the Hawaii construction and commercial real estate loan portfolios totaled $934.2 million, Hawaii construction and commercial real estate loans held for sale totaled $10.9 million, and Hawaii construction and commercial real estate foreclosed properties totaled $9.8 million. This portfolio decreased by $165.8 million from September 30, 2009.

Hawaii construction and commercial real estate loans represented 30.5% and 31.8% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2009, and September 30, 2009, respectively. Of the $934.2 million balance in the Hawaii construction and commercial real estate portfolios, the allowance for loan and lease losses established for these loans was $85.0 million at December 31, 2009, or 9.10%, of the total outstanding balance.

Nonperforming assets related to this sector totaled $286.2 million at December 31, 2009, or 5.9%, of total assets. This balance was comprised of 56 loans totaling $265.5 million at December 31, 2009, two loans held for sale to the same borrower totaling $10.9 million and two foreclosed properties totaling $9.8 million. Nonperforming assets related to this sector totaled $176.4 million at September 30, 2009.

At December 31, 2009, mainland construction and commercial real estate loans totaled $694.2 million, mainland construction and commercial real estate loans held for sale totaled $7.3 million, and mainland construction and commercial real estate foreclosed properties totaled $17.1 million. The portfolio balance consisted of $493.8 million in California and $200.4 million in other Western states. This portfolio decreased by $171.7 million from September 30, 2009.

Mainland construction and commercial real estate loans represented 22.7% and 25.0% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2009, and September 30, 2009, respectively. Of the $694.2 million balance in the mainland construction and commercial real estate portfolio, the allowance for loan and lease losses established for these loans was $72.0 million at December 31, 2009, or 10.4%, of the total outstanding balance.

Nonperforming assets related to this sector totaled $194.6 million at December 31, 2009, or 4.0%, of total assets. This balance was comprised of 39 loans totaling $170.2 million, two loans held for sale totaling $7.3 million, and seven foreclosed properties totaling $17.1 million. Nonperforming assets related to this sector totaled $213.5 million at September 30, 2009.

Capital Levels

The Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and leverage capital ratios were 10.16%, 11.47%, and 7.23%, respectively, at December 31, 2009. At September 30, 2009, these capital ratios were 10.94%, 12.24%, and 8.11%, respectively.

Consolidation of Branches and Closure of California Loan Offices

In addition to announcing its fourth quarter 2009 results, the Company also announced its consolidation plan for two branch locations on Oahu due to the expiration of branch leases. In April 2010, the branch currently located at 1018 Bethel Street in downtown Honolulu will be consolidated into the Main branch at 220 S. King Street and the branch at 1600 Kapiolani Boulevard will be consolidated into the branch at 818 Keeaumoku Street. Both branch consolidations are subject to regulatory approval and a public comment period expiring on February 13, 2010.

"As part of our long-term plan, we want to improve upon our service delivery efficiencies by consolidating branches that are in close proximity to each other and to enhance our customer service by extending business hours at the consolidated branch locations," said Denis Isono, Vice Chair and Chief Operations Officer.

The branch consolidation will result in a branch network of 35 locations, including 28 on Oahu, four on Maui, two on Hawaii, one on Kauai and approximately 100 ATMs throughout the State of Hawaii. More information on the Company's branch locations and business hours can be found at its website at www.centralpacificbank.com.

In California, the Bank's commercial loan offices in Pasadena and Roseville will be closed at the end of March 2010. These office closures are part of the Company's previously announced plan to exit the California market.

The branch consolidations and closure of the two California loan offices are expected to result in annual savings of approximately $1.9 million.
