First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2026

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First BanCorp. (the “Corporation” or “First BanCorp.”) (NYSE: FBP), the bank holding company for FirstBank Puerto Rico (“FirstBank” or “the Bank”), today reported a net income of $96.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $96.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, and $100.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.

Aurelio Alemán, President and Chief Executive Officer of First BanCorp, commented: “We delivered another quarter of strong core performance, highlighted by a return on average assets of 1.98%, a return on average equity of 19.5%, stable credit metrics, and healthy balance sheet trends against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile rate environment. These results demonstrate consistent execution against our strategic priorities, the resilience of our business model, and our commitment to soundness, profitability, and responsible growth.   Total loans grew 3.3% annualized on a linked-quarter basis, with growth across all our operating markets, particularly in the commercial segment, despite higher than prior quarter commercial repayments. Core deposits, excluding brokered and government deposits, increased by $120 million, while non-performing assets remained relatively flat compared with the prior quarter.   We continued advancing our multichannel strategy by combining our expanded Puerto Rico branch network with digital tools that provide clients a faster, more convenient, and seamless service experience. This commitment to innovation and client-centric digital solutions was recognized this quarter by Global Finance, which named us the “Best Digital User Experience in Latin America and Puerto Rico” and the “Best Digital Banking App in Puerto Rico.” We are very proud of this recognition, which reflects our associates' hard work and dedication to delivering the best digital banking experience for our clients.   Finally, we remain focused on allocating capital where it can generate the highest long-term returns for shareholders. We were also pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved a new $350 million stock repurchase program and a 25% increase in our common stock dividend. We remain committed to thoughtful excess capital deployment while preserving flexibility to support organic growth and other franchise-enhancing opportunities.”	(In thousands)	Q3 '26				Q2 '26			Q3 '25			YTD '26			YTD '25

Results for the Third Quarter of 2026 compared to the Second Quarter of 2026
Profitability	Net income – $96.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share compared to $96.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share. Income before income taxes – $115.3 million compared to $120.2 million. Pre-tax, pre-provision income (Non-GAAP)^(1) – $129.9 million compared to $137.5 million. Net interest income – $227.5 million compared to $229.1 million. The decrease was mostly related to $3.4 million in interest income recognized during the second quarter of 2026 from purchase discount and deferred fees accelerations, which accounted for approximately 7 basis points of the decrease in net interest margin, and an increase of $4.8 million in deposit costs. These variances were partially offset by higher commercial and construction loan balances, reinvestment of maturing debt securities in higher-yielding assets, and $1.3 million related to an additional day in the quarter. Net interest margin decreased to 4.73% compared to 4.87% driven by the aforementioned $3.4 million in interest income recognized in the second quarter of 2026 and an increase of 8 basis points in the cost of funds. Provision for credit losses – $14.6 million compared to $17.3 million. The decrease in provision expense was mainly due to a reduction of $3.2 million in the provision for residential mortgage loans, mostly driven by updated historical loss experience resulting in a downward revision of estimated loss severities. Non-interest income – $32.6 million compared to $35.7 million. The decrease mainly reflected $1.9 million in lower realized gains on purchased income tax credits and a $0.6 million gain from the sale of a fixed asset in the Florida region in the previous quarter. Non-interest expenses – $130.2 million compared to $127.3 million, including an additional $2.8 million contingency reserve involving a commercial other real estate owned (“OREO”) property. Income tax expense – $19.2 million compared to $24.1 million, mainly due to a lower estimated annual effective tax rate.
Balance Sheet	Total loans – increased by $108.3 million to $13.4 billion, driven by commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loan growth. Total loan originations of $1.5 billion, down $238.5 million, mainly in commercial and construction loans, driven by $270.6 million in certain refinancings during the second quarter of 2026. Core deposits (other than brokered and government deposits) – increased by $120.4 million to $13.4 billion, mainly in the Puerto Rico region, driven by a $253.0 million increase in time deposits, partially offset by a $132.6 million decrease in non-maturity deposits. Government deposits (fully collateralized) – decreased by $76.7 million to $3.0 billion, of which $57.2 million was in the Puerto Rico region and $34.6 million was in the Virgin Islands region.
Asset Quality	Allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) coverage ratio – amounted to 1.81% compared to 1.85%. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans ratio – increased to 0.55% compared to 0.49%, primarily reflecting a $2.0 million increase in consumer loans and finance leases net charge-offs, mainly in the auto loan portfolio. Non-performing assets – increased by $0.2 million to $114.1 million, driven by a $1.6 million increase in nonaccrual loans, primarily in auto loans, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in the OREO portfolio balance. Loans in early delinquency (30-89 days past due) – increased by $12.1 million to $155.5 million, which included an $8.3 million matured construction loan that was fully repaid after September 30, 2026 and a $6.8 million increase in consumer loans and finance leases, mainly auto loans.
Liquidity and Capital	Liquidity – Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $462.7 million compared to $561.3 million. When adding $2.1 billion of free high-quality liquid securities that could be liquidated or pledged within one day and $1.1 billion in available lending capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), available liquidity amounted to 19.15% of total assets compared to 19.60%. Capital – Repurchased $50.0 million in common stock and declared $30.4 million in common stock dividends. Capital ratios exceeded required regulatory levels. The Corporation’s estimated total capital, common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, tier 1 capital, and leverage ratios were 18.16%, 16.91%, 16.91%, and 11.71%, respectively, as of September 30, 2026. On a non-GAAP basis, the tangible common equity ratio^(1) decreased to 9.55% compared to 10.08%, mainly due to a decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities.

Net interest income amounted to $227.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of $1.6 million, compared to $229.1 million for the second quarter of 2026. The third quarter of 2026 included an increase of approximately $1.3 million associated with the effect of an additional day in the quarter. The decrease in net interest income reflects the following:

• A $4.8 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, primarily reflecting higher average balances of non-brokered time deposits and brokered certificates of deposit (“CDs”), which increased $195.1 million and $98.1 million, respectively, as well as higher rates paid on interest-bearing checking and saving accounts, mainly government deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing checking and saving accounts increased 7 basis points to 1.33%, while the cost excluding government deposits increased 3 basis points to 0.69%.

Partially offset by:

• A $3.0 million net increase in interest income on loans, driven by a $2.6 million increase in interest income on commercial and construction loans, reflecting $3.1 million associated with a $178.9 million increase in the average balance and $1.1 million from an additional day in the third quarter of 2026, partially offset by $1.6 million resulting from the acceleration of net deferred fees associated with the refinancing of a C&I loan in the Puerto Rico region during the second quarter of 2026.

• A $0.1 million net increase in interest income on investment securities and interest-earning cash balances, reflecting higher yields from reinvesting maturities of debt securities in higher-yielding debt securities, partially offset by $1.8 million resulting from the acceleration of the unamortized purchase discount on a municipal bond refinanced during the second quarter of 2026 into a shorter-term commercial loan structure.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2026 was 4.73% compared to 4.87% for the previous quarter. The decrease mainly reflected a shift in the mix of interest-bearing deposits toward higher-yielding options, such as time deposits, and a 7 basis points reduction from prior quarter purchase discount and deferred fee accelerations while higher rates paid on interest-bearing government non-maturity deposits were offset by higher yields from the reinvestment of maturing debt securities.

Non-interest income decreased by $3.1 million to $32.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $35.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, mainly due to a $1.9 million decrease in realized gains from purchased income tax credits and a $0.6 million gain recognized during the second quarter of 2026 from the sale of a fixed asset in the Florida region, both reported as part of other non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses amounted to $130.2 million in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.9 million, from $127.3 million in the second quarter of 2026. Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2026 reflect the following significant variances:

• A $2.6 million increase in other non-interest expenses, primarily reflecting an additional $2.8 million contingency reserve in connection with an adverse court ruling involving a commercial OREO property in the U.S. Virgin Islands, recorded as part of other non-interest expenses.

• A $0.9 million increase in credit and debit card processing expenses, mainly due to credit and debit card expense reimbursements recognized during the second quarter of 2026.

• A $0.8 million increase in employees’ compensation and benefits expenses, mainly associated with the effect of annual salary merit increases and an additional working day in the third quarter of 2026.

Partially offset by:

• A $1.7 million decrease in professional service fees, mostly driven by lower legal fees recorded as part of other professional fees, as well as lower collections, appraisals and other credit-related expenses and outsourcing fees, partially offset by higher consulting fees.

INCOME TAXES

The Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2026. The decrease in income tax expense was driven by a lower estimated annual effective tax rate mostly related to higher than previously forecasted business activities with preferential tax treatment under the Puerto Rico tax code.

For the year, the Corporation’s annual effective tax rate was estimated at 20.5% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 21.5% for the second quarter of 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset of $135.0 million, net of a valuation allowance of $88.3 million, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $142.0 million, net of a valuation allowance of $75.6 million as of June 30, 2026.

(1)	Residential pass-through mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) issued by the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (“PRHFA”) held as part of the available-for-sale debt securities portfolio.
(2)	Excludes purchased-credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans previously accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30 for which the Corporation made the accounting policy election of maintaining pools of loans as “units of account” both at the time of adoption of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on January 1, 2020 and on an ongoing basis for credit loss measurement. These loans will continue to be excluded from nonaccrual loan statistics as long as the Corporation can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected on the loan pools. The portion of such loans contractually past due 90 days or more amounted to $3.0 million as of September 30, 2026 (June 30, 2026 - $3.6 million; March 31, 2026 - $4.2 million; December 31, 2025 - $4.8 million; September 30, 2025 - $5.0 million).
(3)	These include rebooked loans, which were previously pooled into Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) securities, amounting to $5.2 million as of September 30, 2026 (June 30, 2026 - $4.6 million; March 31, 2026 - $6.7 million; December 31, 2025 - $6.7 million; September 30, 2025 - $3.8 million). Under the GNMA program, the Corporation has the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that meet GNMA’s specified delinquency criteria. For accounting purposes, the loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected on the financial statements with an offsetting liability.

Variances in credit quality metrics:

• Total non-performing assets increased by $0.2 million to $114.1 million as of September 30, 2026, driven by a $1.6 million increase in nonaccrual loans, primarily in auto loans, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in the OREO portfolio balance, mainly attributable to the sale of a $0.9 million residential property in the Florida region. In addition, the increase in nonaccrual loans included the migration of a $1.8 million commercial mortgage loan in the Florida region to nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2026, partially offset by $1.3 million in repayments on a nonaccrual C&I loan in the Puerto Rico region in the food retail industry.

• Inflows to nonaccrual loans held for investment were $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2026, down $6.2 million from $40.7 million in the second quarter of 2026. Inflows to nonaccrual commercial and construction loans decreased $12.8 million to $2.3 million, reflecting the impact of a $14.8 million C&I relationship in the Florida region that migrated to nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by the aforementioned $1.8 million commercial mortgage loan inflow in the third quarter. Inflows to nonaccrual consumer loans increased $5.6 million to $28.4 million, while nonaccrual residential mortgage loan inflows increased $1.0 million to $3.8 million. See Early Delinquency below for additional information.

• Adversely classified commercial and construction loans increased by $15.8 million to $103.0 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $87.2 million as of June 30, 2026, driven by the downgrade of a $13.1 million participated C&I loan in the Florida region that is part of the Shared National Credit program.

Early Delinquency

Total loans held for investment in early delinquency (i.e., 30-89 days past due accruing loans, as defined in regulatory reporting instructions) amounted to $155.5 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $12.1 million, compared to $143.4 million as of June 30, 2026, driven by a $6.8 million increase in consumer loans and finance leases, primarily in the auto loan portfolio, and a $4.6 million increase in the commercial and construction loan portfolios. The increase in commercial and construction loans was primarily driven by the aforementioned $8.3 million matured construction loan for which the Corporation received full repayment after September 30, 2026, and a $1.2 million matured commercial mortgage relationship in the process of renewal for which the Corporation continues to receive payments from the borrower. These increases were partially offset by the renewal of two matured commercial mortgage loans totaling $3.1 million and the aforementioned $1.8 million commercial mortgage loan that migrated to nonaccrual status.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Finance Leases

As of September 30, 2026, the ACL for loans and finance leases was $241.7 million, or 1.81% of total loans held for investment, compared to $245.0 million, or 1.85% of total loans held for investment, as of June 30, 2026.

The decrease was mainly related to the ACL for residential mortgage loans, which decreased by $2.1 million, driven by updated historical loss experience used for determining the ACL resulting in a downward revision of estimated loss severities and lower reserve levels, as well as improvements in the projection of the unemployment rate and the House Price Index, partially offset by loan growth. In addition, the ACL for consumer loans decreased by $1.4 million, mainly reflecting lower delinquency levels in credit cards and finance leases, partially offset by higher reserves in the auto loan portfolio due to updated loss expectations based on recent portfolio performance. Meanwhile, the ACL for commercial and construction loans increased by $0.2 million, mainly due to changes in the financial information of certain borrowers and loan growth, partially offset by an improvement in the projection of certain macroeconomic variables.

Provision for credit losses on loans and finance leases was $14.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2026. The decrease was mainly driven by a $3.2 million reduction in the provision for residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in the provision for consumer loans and finance leases and a $0.7 million increase in the provision for commercial and construction loans. These changes reflected the ACL factors discussed above, as well as a $2.0 million increase in consumer loans and finance leases net charge-offs, mainly in the auto loan portfolio.

Net Charge-Offs

The following table presents ratios of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans held-in-portfolio for the last five quarters:

		Quarter Ended
		September 30, 2026	June 30, 2026	March 31, 2026	December 31, 2025	September 30, 2025
Residential mortgage		0.02%	0.01%	-0.03%	-0.02%	-0.00%
Construction		-0.11%	-0.03%	-0.02%	-0.02%	-0.50%
Commercial mortgage		0.02%	-0.02%	0.08%	0.01%	-0.02%
C&I		0.02%	0.03%	0.03%	0.00%	0.01%
Consumer loans and finance leases		1.95%	1.73%	2.23%	2.20%	2.16%
	Total loans	0.55%	0.49%	0.65%	0.63%	0.62%

The ratios above are based on annualized net charge-offs and are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent periods.

Net charge-offs were $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, or an annualized 0.55% of average loans, compared to $16.1 million, or an annualized 0.49% of average loans, in the second quarter of 2026. The $2.1 million increase in net charge-offs was driven by a $2.0 million increase in consumer loans and finance leases net charge-offs, mainly in the auto loan portfolio.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of September 30, 2026, the ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures decreased to $4.5 million, compared to $4.6 million as of June 30, 2026.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Debt Securities

As of September 30, 2026, the ACL for debt securities was $1.2 million, of which $0.3 million was related to Puerto Rico municipal bonds classified as held-to-maturity, compared to $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2026.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were approximately $19.3 billion as of September 30, 2026, up $9.1 million from June 30, 2026. The following variances within the main components of total assets are noted:

• A $108.3 million increase in total loans, primarily reflecting a $118.4 million increase in C&I loans, including $90.5 million in the Florida region driven by new loan participations and $21.3 million in the Virgin Islands region driven by disbursements of a government line of credit.

Total loan originations, including refinancings, renewals, and draws from existing commitments, amounted to $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of $238.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2026. In the Puerto Rico region, originations decreased $315.6 million to $1.0 billion, driven by the aforementioned $270.6 million in refinancings during the second quarter of 2026 of a participated C&I loan related to a public-private partnership and a participated municipal loan, as well as lower utilization of C&I lines of credit. Meanwhile, in the Florida region, originations increased $69.2 million to $402.2 million, mainly reflecting a $71.7 million increase in commercial and construction loans, including $49.0 million in C&I loan originations and $23.1 million in commercial mortgage loan originations. In addition, in the Virgin Islands region, originations increased $7.9 million to $34.0 million.

• A $21.5 million increase in investment securities, driven by $492.1 million in debt securities purchased during the third quarter of 2026, of which $422.4 million were U.S. agencies’ MBS at an average yield of 5.44%. These purchases were partially offset by repayments of $227.6 million, including $39.9 million of matured securities, and a $119.4 million decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities attributable to changes in market interest rates. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury bill activity resulted in a net decrease of $128.4 million, reflecting $375.0 million of maturities at an average yield of 3.69%, partially offset by $246.6 million of purchases at an average yield of 3.87%.

Partially offset by:

• A $98.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, mainly related to net cash outflows from lending and investing activities and capital deployment actions, partially offset by deposit growth and a new $23.8 million short-term repurchase agreement.

Total liabilities were approximately $17.4 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $110.4 million from June 30, 2026. The following variances within the main components of total liabilities are noted:

• Total deposits increased by $49.1 million, driven by:

• A $253.0 million increase in non-government time deposits, excluding brokered CDs, primarily in the Puerto Rico region.

Partially offset by:

• A $132.6 million decrease in non-government non-maturity deposits, mainly in the Puerto Rico region. The decrease in such deposits includes a $116.6 million decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits, of which $84.2 million was in the Puerto Rico region.

• A $76.7 million decrease in government deposits, consisting of decreases of $57.2 million in the Puerto Rico region and $34.6 million in the Virgin Islands region, partially offset by a $15.1 million increase in the Florida region.

• A $23.8 million increase in borrowings related to the aforementioned new short-term repurchase agreement.

Total stockholders’ equity amounted to $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2026, a decrease of $101.3 million from June 30, 2026, driven by a $119.4 million decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities due to changes in market interest rates recognized as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss, $50.0 million in common stock repurchases at an average price of $28.67, and $30.4 million in common stock dividends declared in the third quarter of 2026, partially offset by the net income generated in the third quarter of 2026.

As of September 30, 2026, capital ratios exceeded the required regulatory levels for bank holding companies and well-capitalized banks. The Corporation’s estimated CET1 capital, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios under the Basel III rules were 16.91%, 16.91%, 18.16%, and 11.71%, respectively, as of September 30, 2026, compared to CET1 capital, tier 1 capital, total capital, and leverage ratios of 16.96%, 16.96%, 18.21%, and 11.72%, respectively, as of June 30, 2026.

Meanwhile, estimated CET1 capital, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios of our banking subsidiary, FirstBank, were 15.92%, 16.65%, 17.91%, and 11.53%, respectively, as of September 30, 2026, compared to CET1 capital, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios of 15.96%, 16.71%, 17.97%, and 11.54%, respectively, as of June 30, 2026.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $98.6 million to $462.7 million as of September 30, 2026. When adding $2.1 billion of free high-quality liquid securities that could be liquidated or pledged within one day, total core liquidity amounted to $2.6 billion as of September 30, 2026, or 13.40% of total assets, compared to $2.7 billion, or 13.73% of total assets, as of June 30, 2026. In addition, as of September 30, 2026, the Corporation had $1.1 billion available for credit with the FHLB based on the value of the collateral pledged with the FHLB. As such, the basic liquidity ratio (which includes cash, free high-quality liquid assets such as U.S. government and government-sponsored enterprises’ obligations that could be liquidated or pledged within one day, and available secured lines of credit with the FHLB to total assets) was approximately 19.15% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 19.60% as of June 30, 2026.

In addition to the aforementioned available credit from the FHLB, the Corporation also maintains borrowing capacity at the U.S. Federal Reserve (“FED”) Discount Window Program. The Corporation had approximately $2.5 billion available for funding under the FED’s Borrower-In-Custody Program as of September 30, 2026. In the aggregate, as of September 30, 2026, the Corporation had $6.2 billion available to meet liquidity needs, or 128% of estimated uninsured deposits (excluding fully collateralized government deposits).

The Corporation’s total deposits, excluding brokered CDs, amounted to $16.3 billion as of each of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, which included $3.0 billion in government deposits that are fully collateralized as of each of those periods. Excluding fully collateralized government deposits and FDIC-insured deposits as of September 30, 2026, the estimated amount of uninsured deposits was $4.8 billion, which represents 29.59% of total deposits, compared to $4.7 billion, or 29.15% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2026. Refer to Table 10 in the accompanying tables (Exhibit A) for additional information about the deposits composition.

Tangible Common Equity (Non-GAAP)

On a non-GAAP basis, the Corporation’s tangible common equity ratio decreased to 9.55% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 10.08% as of June 30, 2026, mainly due to a decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities. Refer to Non-GAAP Disclosures- Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definition of and additional information about this non-GAAP financial measure.

Exposure to Puerto Rico Government

Direct Exposure

As of September 30, 2026, the Corporation had $355.5 million of direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government, its municipalities, and public corporations, a decrease of $23.9 million from $379.4 million as of June 30, 2026, mainly due to repayments. The exposure consisted primarily of $272.4 million in municipal loans and obligations supported by assigned property tax revenues, generally backed by the municipalities’ good faith, credit, and unlimited taxing power, and $27.1 million supported by one or more specific sources of municipal revenues. The remaining exposure included $8.5 million in a loan to an affiliate of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, $44.9 million in loans to a Puerto Rico public corporation, and a PRHFA residential pass-through MBS with an amortized cost of $2.6 million.

The aforementioned exposure to municipalities in Puerto Rico included $60.7 million of financing arrangements issued in bond form but underwritten as loans with features that are typically found in commercial loans. These bonds are accounted for as held-to-maturity debt securities.

Indirect Exposure

As of both September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Corporation had $2.6 billion of public sector deposits in Puerto Rico. Approximately 22% of the public sector deposits as of September 30, 2026 were from municipalities and municipal agencies in Puerto Rico, and 78% were from public corporations, the Puerto Rico central government and agencies, and U.S. federal government agencies in Puerto Rico.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2026, construction loans funded through conduit financing structures supporting Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and other federal affordable housing programs amounted to $78.4 million, compared with $75.0 million as of June 30, 2026. Under these arrangements, PRHFA serves as conduit issuer and lender of record, while the Corporation serves as the ultimate lender. The total amount of unfunded loan commitments related to these loans as of September 30, 2026 was $27.7 million.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES

This press release contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are used when management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the ability of analysts and investors to analyze trends in the Corporation’s business and understand the performance of the Corporation. The Corporation may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in its budgeting and long-term planning process. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the text or in the tables in or attached to this press release. Any analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted non-interest expenses, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, exclude the effect of items that management believes are not reflective of core operating performance (the “Special Items”). Other non-GAAP financial measures include net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin each presented on a tax-equivalent basis; tangible common equity; tangible book value per common share; and certain capital ratios. These measures should be read in conjunction with the accompanying tables (Exhibit A), which are an integral part of this press release, and the Corporation’s other financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.

Special Items

The financial results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 and for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 included the following Special Items:

Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2026

FDIC Special Assessment Reversal

- A benefit of $0.1 million ($57 thousand after-tax, calculated based on the statutory tax rate of 37.5%) was recorded during the first quarter of 2026 following receipt of the FDIC assessment invoice, paid on March 30, 2026, which reduced the quarterly special assessment rate for the eighth and final collection period from 3.36 bps to 2.97 bps. Any future offsets or one-time final shortfall special assessment collection, if any, will be communicated by the FDIC through future invoices. The FDIC deposit special assessment is reflected in the consolidated statements of income as part of “FDIC deposit insurance” expenses.

Quarter and Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2025

Enactment of Act 65-2025

- On July 17, 2025, the Government of Puerto Rico enacted Act 65-2025 which, among other things, allows domestic limited liability companies owned by legal entities to elect to be treated as disregarded entities for tax purposes. As a result of this change, during the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation reversed approximately $16.6 million in valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets primarily associated with NOL carryforwards at the holding company level.

Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”)

- During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation recognized a $2.3 million ERC, net of $0.3 million in related commissions. This amount is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income as part of “employees’ compensation and benefits” expenses. This credit was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to support businesses that retained employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The credit recorded during the third quarter of 2025 is tax exempt for Puerto Rico tax purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible Common Equity Ratio and Tangible Book Value per Common Share

The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are generally used by the financial community to evaluate capital adequacy. Tangible common equity is total common equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible assets are total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible common equity ratio is tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. Tangible book value per common share is tangible assets divided by common shares outstanding. Refer to Statement of Financial Condition – Tangible Common Equity (Non-GAAP) for a reconciliation of the Corporation’s total stockholders’ equity and total assets in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible common equity and tangible assets, respectively. Management uses and believes that many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share in conjunction with other more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that disclosure of these financial measures may be useful to investors. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets, or the related measures, should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets, and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Non-Interest Expenses, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

To supplement the Corporation’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Corporation uses, and believes that investors benefit from disclosure of, non-GAAP financial measures that reflect adjustments to net income, non-interest expenses, income tax expense, and adjusted earnings per share to exclude Special Items.

Adjusted Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Income

Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income is a non-GAAP performance metric that management uses and believes that investors may find useful in analyzing underlying performance trends, particularly in times of economic stress, including as a result of natural catastrophes or health epidemics. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, as defined by management, represents income before income taxes adjusted to exclude the provisions for credit losses on loans, unfunded loan commitments and debt securities. In addition, from time to time, earnings are also adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of core operating performance, which are regarded as Special Items.

Net Interest Income, Interest Rate Spread, and Net Interest Margin on a Tax-Equivalent Basis

Net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin are reported on a tax-equivalent basis in order to provide to investors additional information about the Corporation’s net interest income that management uses and believes should facilitate comparability and analysis of the periods presented. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a marginal income tax rate. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. Refer to Tables 4 and 5 in the accompanying tables (Exhibit A) for a reconciliation of the Corporation’s net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt securities and tax-exempt loans, on a common basis that management believes facilitates comparison of results to the results of peers.

NET INCOME AND RECONCILIATION TO ADJUSTED NET INCOME (NON-GAAP)

The following table shows, for the third and second quarters of 2026, net income and earnings per diluted share, and reconciles, for the third quarter of 2025 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, net income to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the significant Special Items discussed in the Non-GAAP Disclosures – Special Items section.

(1)	Residential pass-through MBS issued by the PRHFA held as part of the available-for-sale debt securities portfolio.
(2)	Excludes PCD loans previously accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 for which the Corporation made the accounting policy election of maintaining pools of loans as “units of account” both at the time of adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 and on an ongoing basis for credit loss measurement. These loans will continue to be excluded from nonaccrual loan statistics as long as the Corporation can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected on the loan pools. The portion of such loans contractually past due 90 days or more amounted to $3.0 million as of September 30, 2026 (June 30, 2026 - $3.6 million; December 31, 2025 - $4.8 million).

Under the GNMA program, the Corporation has the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that meet GNMA's specified delinquency criteria. For accounting purposes, the loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected on the financial statements with an offsetting liability.
