SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--()--Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Popular”) (NASDAQ:BPOP) reported net income of $137.4 million and adjusted net income of $98.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $85.6 million and an adjusted net income of $93.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Mr. Richard L. Carrión, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said: “In 2015 we achieved several key milestones such as the Doral transactions and the completion of the restructuring of our U.S. operations. At the same time, we consistently delivered strong financial results despite the continued weakness of the Puerto Rico economy.

Doral Bank Transaction

During the fourth quarter of 2015, retrospective adjustments were made to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the FDIC as receiver for Doral Bank, during the first quarter of 2015 (the “Doral Bank Transaction”), to reflect new information obtained during the measurement period that existed as of the acquisition date, as defined by U.S. GAAP. This process led to a lower fair value of the assets acquired and to a corresponding increase in goodwill.

Refer to the following table for details of the above mentioned retrospective adjustments.

[a] Amounts reported include retrospective adjustments during the measurement period, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, related to the Doral Bank Transaction.

 
[b] Amounts are presented as previously reported in the Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2015.
 
[c] Balances recasted include a reclassification of approximately $38.4 million of loans that were subsequently determined to be excluded from the Doral Bank Transaction and repurchased by the FDIC, to the Receivable from the FDIC.
 

The decline in the fair value of the loans is mainly attributed to higher estimated credit losses on the portfolio of taxi medallion loans acquired by BPNA, which had an unpaid principal balance of $248.6 million and a revised fair value of $154.9 million. This remeasurement resulted in a negative adjustment of approximately $76.9 million to this portfolio. The main factors that influenced the revised estimated credit losses included borrower concentration in the portfolio, review of collateral values and borrowers’ payment capacity after a more thorough due diligence process.

Net interest income

For the quarter ended December 31 2015, the Corporation had net interest income of $352.5 million, compared to net interest income of $350.7 million for the previous quarter. The adjusted net interest income was $350.6 million, flat compared to the previous quarter. The net interest margin was 4.42% for the quarter. The adjusted net interest margin was 4.39%, also flat when compared to the previous quarter. Refer to the Adjusted Results – Non GAAP section for additional information on the adjusted net interest income.

The decrease of $0.1 million in the adjusted net interest income is mainly related to:

  • Lower income from commercial loans by $2.2 million, or 19 basis points, mainly due to lower yields at BPPR and BPNA impacted by payoffs of public sector loans in BPPR and higher loan originations at lower rates in the U.S.
  • Lower income from construction loans by $1.0 million, or 42 basis points, mainly at BPPR driven by past due interest recoveries recorded during the third quarter

These negative variances in net interest income were offset in part by:

  • Higher income from mortgage loans by $1.8 million due to the reversal during the third quarter of 2015 of $3.8 million of income from FHA-guaranteed loans at BPPR as part of the Corporation’s review of its interest income accrual policy for this portfolio, partially offset by lower average volume of mortgages at both BPPR and BPNA
  • Higher income from consumer loans by $0.4 million, mainly due to higher volume at BPNA as a result of its consumer loans acquisition strategy
  • Higher income from the leasing portfolio by $0.6 million mainly due to higher volume at the BPPR segment
  • Lower borrowing costs by $0.3 million due mainly to lower volume of repurchase agreements at the BPPR segment

BPPR’s net interest income amounted to $305.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The adjusted net interest income was $304.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million when compared to the previous quarter. The impact of lower income from commercial and construction loans was offset by higher income from mortgage loans and lower borrowing costs, as discussed above, and lower expense on equity indexed IRA accounts. Net interest margin was 4.82%. The adjusted net interest margin was 4.80%, an increase of 5 basis points compared to 4.75% for the previous quarter, mainly due to lower borrowing costs.

BPNA’s net interest income was $62.9 million. The adjusted net interest income was of $61.7 million, compared with $62.4 million for the previous quarter. The decrease of $0.7 million in the net interest income is mainly driven by lower yields in the commercial portfolio and lower volumes of mortgage loans, as discussed above, which was partially offset by higher income from consumer loans by $1.4 million. Also, higher interest expense on deposits by $1.3 million, mainly for higher volume of non-brokered client related time deposits, contributed to the decrease in net interest income. Net interest margin was 3.86%. The adjusted net interest margin was of 3.79% compared to 3.91% for the previous quarter, a decrease of 12 basis points, mainly due to lower yields from commercial loans and higher cost of interest bearing deposits.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income was $132.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.3 million when compared with the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the transactions detailed in the Adjusted Results Non-GAAP tables above, non-interest income increased by $5.7 million when compared to the third quarter of 2015, driven primarily by the following:

  • Higher other service fees by $10.8 million mostly due to higher annual contingent insurance commission revenues, including approximately $3.7 million from the portfolio acquired from the Doral insurance agency. Refer to Table F for a breakdown of other service fees.
  • Higher mortgage banking activities by $3.6 million mainly due to lower losses on related derivatives. Refer to Table F for a breakdown of mortgage banking activities.

These increases were partially offset by:

  • Unfavorable variance in adjustments to indemnity reserves by $2.8 million mostly due to higher provision for loans previously sold with credit recourse.
  • Unfavorable variance in the FDIC loss-share income (expense) by $5.6 million mostly due to higher recoveries on assets to be shared with the FDIC under the recovery period by $6.0 million and lower mirror accounting on reimbursable expenses, partially offset by a positive variance in the fair value of the true-up payment obligation.

Refer to Table B for further details.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses of $305.8 million for the quarter decreased by $1.1 million when compared with the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the transactions detailed in the Adjusted Results Non-GAAP tables above, operating expenses increased by $4.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2015, driven primarily by:

  • Higher professional fees expense by $4.3 million mainly due to higher application processing and hosting expenses and the result of the recently enacted business-to-business sales tax in Puerto Rico.
  • Higher business promotion expenses by $3.0 million mainly at BPPR due to higher advertising expense and higher customer affinities program expense.
  • Higher OREO expenses by $2.3 million mainly due to higher commercial and construction write-downs at both BPPR and BPNA and higher mortgage write-downs at BPPR.
  • Higher equipment expense by $1.3 million mainly due to software and maintenance expenses at BPPR.

These increases were partially offset by:

  • Lower other operating expenses by $3.8 million mainly due to lower sundry losses from mortgage servicing at BPPR.
  • Lower FDIC deposit insurance by $1.9 million due to improvements in the risk profile of the Corporation.

Non-personnel credit-related costs, which include collections, appraisals, credit related fees, and OREO expenses, amounted to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase was principally due to higher OREO write-downs, as mentioned above.

Full-time equivalent employees were 7,810 as of December 31, 2015, compared with 7,840 as of September 30, 2015, and 7,752 as of December 31, 2014.

For a breakdown of operating expenses by category refer to table B.

Income taxes

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Corporation recorded an income tax benefit of $16.8 million, compared to an income tax expense of $22.6 million for the previous quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation recorded a partial reversal of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets from the U.S. operations for approximately $44.1 million. This adjustment was incremental to the partial reversal of $544.9 million recorded during the second quarter of 2015 and was mainly related to a change in the estimate of the realizability of state and city deferred tax assets, as new information was considered after having completed the U.S. reorganization and the sources of income of the business acquired in connection with the Doral Bank Transaction. On an adjusted basis, the income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $30.8 million, compared to $25.9 million for the previous quarter.

The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2015, on an adjusted basis, was 24%, compared to 22% for the previous quarter. The effective tax rate is impacted by the composition and source of the taxable income. In 2016, after taking effect for the partial deferred tax asset valuation reversal, the Corporation expects that the effective tax rate for the U.S. operations will be approximately 44%. Adjusting to an effective tax rate of 44% for the U.S. operations, and assuming the same earnings composition of this quarter, the adjusted effective income tax rate for the Corporation’s consolidated results for the fourth quarter of 2015 would have been 30%.

Credit Quality

Overall, the Corporation continued to exhibit a stable credit performance in a challenging operating environment given the continuing weakness in the Puerto Rico economy. During the fourth quarter of 2015, credit metrics were impacted by a few specific large borrowers and the bulk sale of commercial loans amounting to $34.4 million. The Corporation continues to closely monitor the performance of its portfolios and is focused in taking measures to minimize risks.

  • Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, decreased by $86.7 million quarter over quarter, mainly driven by lower commercial inflows of $72.4 million and reduction of $8.6 million in NPL inflows at BPPR. The decrease in commercial inflows was impacted by the addition of a small number of large commercial loans in the BPPR segment in the third quarter of 2015, most significantly a $49.2 million credit relationship.
  • Non-performing loans held-in-portfolio decreased by $33.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly driven by lower commercial NPLs of $57.6 million, offset by higher consumer and mortgage NPLs of $17.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The commercial NPLs decrease was mainly driven by $31.1 million in charge-offs related to BPPR loans that were specifically reserved in prior periods, combined with the sale of loans with book value of $34.4 million, of which approximately $21.3 million were non-accruing. The aggregate write-down on the commercial loans bulk sale during the quarter was $7.9 million, of which $2.1 million was previously reserved. The consumer NPLs increase was related to one particular loan collateralized by Puerto Rico securities. At December 31, 2015, NPLs represented 2.7% of total loans held-in-portfolio, compared to 2.8% in September 30, 2015.
  • Excluding the $7.9 million write-down related to the bulk sale of commercial loans, net charge-offs increased by $36.6 million from the third quarter of 2015, mostly driven by higher commercial NCOs of $33.7 million in BPPR. Commercial NCOs were impacted by $31.1 million in charge-offs related to five relationships for which reserves were recorded in prior periods. The ratio of net charge-off to average non-covered loans held-in-portfolio increased to 1.48% on an annualized basis from 0.83% in the third quarter of 2015. Refer to Table J for further information on net charge-offs and related ratios.
  • The allowance for loan losses decreased by $33.1 million from the third quarter of 2015 to $502.9 million, primarily driven by the above mentioned charge-offs of commercial loans fully reserved in prior periods. The general and specific reserves related to non-covered loans totaled $384.8 million and $118.1 million, respectively, at quarter-end, compared with $379.2 million and $156.8 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 2.25% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 2.38% in the previous quarter.
  • The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 83.6%, compared to 84.4% in the previous quarter.
  • The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter amounted to $57.7 million, decreasing by $11.9 million, as the previous quarter included $10.1 million impairment related to Westernbank loans the Corporation has the intent to sell. Excluding the $5.8 million provision impact related to the commercial loans sold and $5.1 million additional impairment on the Westernbank loans, the provision for the fourth quarter amounted to $46.8 million, compared to $59.5 million in the third quarter. The provision for the quarter decreased by $12.7 million as the third quarter considered incremental reserves related to certain large relationships. The provision to net charge-off ratio decreased to 69.6%, or 56.5% on an adjusted basis, from 150.2%, or 128.4% on an adjusted basis, in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in the ratio was mostly due to the aforementioned $31.1 million in charge-offs of previously reserved commercial loans. Excluding this impact from the total net charge-off base, the provision for the fourth quarter represented 90.3% of net charge-offs.

Total assets increased by $238.7 million from the third quarter of 2015 driven by:

  • An increase of $562.1 million in investment securities available-for-sale mainly at BPPR mostly due to purchases of mortgage-backed agency pools and U.S. Treasury securities

This increase was partially offset by:

  • A decrease of $228.5 million in money market investments principally due to a decrease in excess cash balance held with the Federal Reserve of $218.9 million at BPPR.
  • A decrease of approximately $48.0 million in non-covered loans held-in-portfolio, excluding the impact of the Doral Bank Transaction remeasurement adjustments, mainly due to a decrease of mortgage loans principally at BPPR resulting from reduced origination activity, partially offset by an increase in commercial loan originations in the U.S.

Total liabilities increased by $183.0 million from the third quarter of 2015, driven by:

  • An increase of $496.5 million in deposits principally in non-brokered time deposits at BPPR and BPNA and in checking accounts of both commercial and retail customers at BPPR, partially offset by a decline in brokered certificates of deposit mainly at BPPR. Refer to Table G for additional information on deposits.

This increase was partially offset by:

  • A decrease of $323.6 million in federal funds purchased and assets sold under agreements to repurchase mainly due to a net decrease in repurchase agreements principally at BPPR.

Stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $55.7 million from the third quarter of 2015, mainly as a result of net income for the quarter of $137.4 million, net of a reduction of $15.5 million related to the quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share declared on the outstanding common stock and preferred dividends of $0.9 million, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $67.1 million, principally due to higher unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale by $52.4 million and $16.0 million related to the adjustment of pension and postretirement benefit plans, net of tax.

Common equity tier-1 ratio and tangible book value per share were 16.21% and $42.18, respectively, at December 31, 2015 compared to 16.21% and $42.71 at September 30, 2015. The re-measurement of goodwill on the Doral Bank Transaction reduced tangible book value per share by $1.06. Refer to Table A for capital ratios.

[1] The legacy portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, construction loans and lease financings related to certain lending products exited by the Corporation as part of restructuring efforts carried out in prior years at the BPNA segment.
 
[2] Non-performing loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2015 consisted of $45 million in commercial loans and $95 thousand in construction loan (September 30, 2015 - $47 million in commercial loans, $10 thousand in construction loan and $224 thousand in mortgage loans; December 31, 2014 - $14.0 million in mortgage loans, $309 thousand in commercial loans and $4.5 million in consumer loans).
 
[3] It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90 days or more as opposed to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These balances include $164 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of December 31, 2015 (September 30, 2015 - $159 million; December 31, 2014 - $125 million). Furthermore, the Corporation has approximately $70 million in reverse mortgage loans which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest. Due to the guaranteed nature of the loans, it is the Corporation's policy to exclude these balances from non-performing assets (September 30, 2015 - $71 million; December 31, 2014 - $66 million).
