| PARENT COMPANY AND REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS |
23. PARENT COMPANY AND REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS The retained earnings of the parent company, Central Pacific Financial Corp., included $288.4 million and $316.0 million of equity in undistributed losses of Central Pacific Bank as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If under-capitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. The Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" and maintained the required capital conservation buffer under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. There are no conditions or events since then that management believes have changed the institution’s category. The following table sets forth actual and required capital and capital ratios for the Company and the Bank, as well as the minimum capital adequacy requirements applicable generally to all financial institutions as of the dates indicated.

The CCB is calculated as a ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and effectively increases the required minimum risk-based capital ratios. |
