FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may relate to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of OFG Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us” or “Oriental”), including, but not limited to, statements with respect to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, delinquency trends, market risk and the impact of interest rate changes, capital markets conditions, capital adequacy and liquidity, and the effect of legal proceedings and new accounting standards on Oriental’s financial condition and results of operations. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” “may,” or similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions by management that are difficult to predict. Various factors, some of which by their nature are beyond Oriental’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:

· the rate of growth in the economy and employment levels, as well as general business and economic conditions;

· changes in interest rates, as well as the magnitude of such changes;

· a credit default by municipalities of the government of Puerto Rico;

· amendments to the fiscal plan approved by the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico;

· determinations in the court-supervised debt-restructuring process under Title III of PROMESA for the Puerto Rico government and all of its agencies, including some of its public corporations;

· the impact of property, credit and other losses in Puerto Rico as a result of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters;

· the amount of government, private and philanthropic financial assistance for the reconstruction of Puerto Rico’s critical infrastructure, which suffered catastrophic damages caused by hurricane Maria;

· the pace and magnitude of Puerto Rico’s economic recovery;

· the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies;

· changes in federal bank regulatory and supervisory policies, including required levels of capital;

· the relative strength or weakness of the commercial and consumer credit sectors and the real estate market in Puerto Rico;

· the performance of the stock and bond markets;

· competition in the financial services industry;

· possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes;

· the receipt and timing of regulatory approvals required to consummate the acquisition of Scotiabank de Puerto Rico (“SBPR”) and certain branch assets and liabilities of The Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS”) in Puerto Rico and its U.S. Virgin Islands operations (the “Scotiabank Transaction”); and

· difficulties in integrating the operations expected to be acquired in the Scotiabank Transaction.

Other possible events or factors that could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements include the following: negative economic conditions that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect, among other things, the level of non-performing assets, charge-offs and provision expense; changes in interest rates and market liquidity which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets; adverse movements and volatility in debt and equity capital markets; changes in market rates and prices which may adversely impact the value of financial assets and liabilities; liabilities resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations; changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations; increased competition; Oriental’s ability to grow its core businesses; decisions to downsize, sell or close units or otherwise change Oriental’s business mix; and management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.

All forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to Oriental as of the date of this report, and other than as required by law, including the requirements of applicable securities laws, Oriental assumes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

OFG Bancorp (“Oriental”) is a publicly-owned financial holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Oriental operates through various subsidiaries including, a commercial bank, Oriental Bank (the “Bank”), a securities broker-dealer, Oriental Financial Services Corp. (“Oriental Financial Services”), an insurance agency, Oriental Insurance LLC. (“Oriental Insurance”), a retirement plan administrator, Oriental Pension Consultants, Inc. (“OPC”), and two operating subsidiaries of the Bank, OFG USA LLC ("OFG USA") and Oriental International Bank Inc. (“OIB”). Through these subsidiaries and their respective divisions, Oriental provides a wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer and mortgage lending, auto loans, financial planning, insurance sales, money management and investment banking and brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services.

On April 30, 2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain deposits and other liabilities of Eurobank, a Puerto Rico commercial bank, in an FDIC-assisted acquisition. On February 6, 2017, the Bank and the FDIC agreed to terminate the shared-loss agreements related to the Eurobank Acquisition. On December 18, 2012, Oriental acquired a group of Puerto Rico-based entities that included Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Puerto Rico (“BBVAPR”), a Puerto Rico commercial bank, as well as a securities broker-dealer and an insurance agency, which is referred to herein as the “BBVAPR Acquisition.” These acquired businesses have been integrated with Oriental’s existing business.

New Accounting Updates Adopted in 2019

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases): 1) a lease liability, which is the present value of a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting under the new guidance remains largely unchanged as it is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. Leveraged leases have been eliminated, although lessors can continue to account for existing leveraged leases using the current accounting guidance. Other limited changes were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and the new revenue recognition standard. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The intention is to require enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. All entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. As Oriental elected the transition option provided in ASU No. 2018-11 (see below), the modified retrospective approach was applied on January 1, 2019 (as opposed to January 1, 2017). Oriental also elected certain relief options offered in ASU 2016-02 including the package of practical expedients and the option not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of twelve months or less). Oriental also elected the hindsight practical expedient, which allows entities to use hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. Oriental has several lease agreements, mainly branch locations, which are considered operating leases, and therefore, were not previously recognized on Oriental’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The new guidance requires these lease agreements to be recognized on the consolidated statements of financial condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 19 Leases for more information.

Leases - Targeted Improvements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU No. 2016-02. Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11: (1) entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing standard, and (2) lessors may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met. The amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02 (January 1, 2019 for Oriental). Oriental adopted ASU 2018-11 on its required effective date of January 1, 2019 and elected both transition options mentioned above. ASU 2018-11 did not have a material impact on Oriental’s consolidated financial statements.

Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20 which allows lessors to make an accounting policy election of presenting sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees on a net basis, (2) requires a lessor to exclude lessor costs paid directly by a lessee to third parties on the lessor’s behalf and include lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee in the measurement of variable lease revenue and the associated expense, and (3) clarifies that when lessors allocate variable payments to lease and non-lease components they are required to follow the recognition guidance in the new leases standard for the lease component and other applicable guidance, such as the new revenue standard, for the non-lease component. Oriental adopted ASU 2018-20 on its required effective date of January 1, 2019 and elected to present sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees on a net basis as described in (1) above. ASU 2018-20 did not have a material impact on Oriental’s consolidated financial statements.

Leases: Codification Improvements. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01 which states that for lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the fair value of the underlying asset is its cost, less any volume or trade discounts, as long as there isn’t a significant amount of time between acquisition of the asset and lease commencement; (2) clarifies that lessors in the scope of ASC 942 (such as Oriental) must classify principal payments received from sales-type and direct financing leases in investing activities in the statement of cash flows; and (3) clarifies the transition guidance related to certain interim disclosures provided in the year of adoption. To coincide with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Oriental elected to early adopt ASU 2019-01 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Oriental’s consolidated financial statements.

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 with the objectives to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. This guideline allows the entity to elect whether to perform quantitative or qualitative assessments for their hedge accounting transactions. In addition, the guideline provides that “an entity may reclassify a debt security from held-to-maturity (HTM) to available-for-sale (AFS) if the debt security is eligible to be hedged under the last-of-layer method in accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-12A. Any unrealized gain or loss at the date of the transfer shall be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 320-10-35-10(c).” Transition elections must be adopted within the timeframe outlined in paragraphs 815-20-65-3(f) to 65-3(g). This includes the transition election available for the transfer of eligible securities from the HTM to the AFS category. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Oriental elected to maintain its current quantitative assessment for the existing hedge accounting transaction. In addition, Oriental elected to reclassify all of the securities in its held-to-maturity portfolio amounting to $424.7 million to its available-for-sale portfolio, as they were debt securities that qualified as eligible to be hedged under the last-of-layer method. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows.

New Accounting Updates Not Yet Adopted

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, ASU 2018-15 requires an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The ASU also requires the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2018–230—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which has been deleted. This ASU will be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The effects of this standard on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows are not expected to be material.

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment. An entity will no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. This ASU will be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The effects of this standard on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows are not expected to be material.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance introduces a new credit reserving methodology known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology, which differs significantly from the incurred loss approach used today and will alter the estimation process, inputs and assumptions used in estimating the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The CECL methodology requires measurement of expected credit losses for the estimated life of the financial instrument, not only based on historical experience and current conditions, but also by including reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information. At the date of adoption, the change in reserves will be recorded in retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment under the modified retrospective method. CECL eliminates the existing guidance for purchase credit-impaired loans, but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than insignificant deterioration since origination. In addition, it modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which allows for reversal of credit impairments in future periods based on improvements in credit. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Oriental will implement ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. We continue to evaluate the impact the new guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations and regulatory risk-based capital. Our current planned approach for estimating lifetime credit losses for our loan portfolio includes the following key components:

· An initial forecast period of one year for all portfolio segments based on historical loss experience, or economic forecast in case of limited historical loss experience;

· An economic forecast period of two years based on the relation of losses with key economic variables for each portfolio segment;

· Segmentation of loans into pools that share common risk characteristics;

· Reversion to the mean period using straight-line method;

· Used the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to measure credit impairment on most of our loan portfolios and estimate lifetime credit losses using the conceptual components described above; and

· A most likely macroeconomic scenario in estimating expected credit losses.

As part of our evaluation of the estimated impacts of CECL, we have run simulations based on our portfolio composition and current expectations of future economic conditions. The results of those preliminary simulations indicate that our total reserves for credit losses related to our originated book, which accounts for 84% of total gross loans, could have a net increase between 16 % and 23 % as compared to the incurred loss model applied as of balance sheet date, mostly driven by the retail loan portfolios. At adoption, we expect to have a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for this change in the ACL, which would impact our capital. Oriental expects to continue to be well capitalized under the Basel III regulatory framework after the adoption of this standard. The Company will avail itself of the option to phase-in over a period of three years the day one effects on regulatory capital from the adoption of CECL. For the acquired book, which represents 16% of total gross loans, we expect its allowance will be enough to cover CECL implementation. Any adjustment will be made through the allowance and loan balances with no impact in capital. The ultimate effect of CECL on our ACL will depend on the size and composition of our portfolio, the portfolio’s credit quality and economic conditions at the time of adoption, as well as any refinements to our models, methodology and other key assumptions. We are continuing our cross-functional implementation efforts and have substantially completed development of our CECL models. Model validation, user acceptance testing, and parallel runs will continue through the remainder of 2019. In addition, we continue to develop the business processes, policies and controls that satisfy the requirements of the new guidance.

For available-for-sale debt securities, the new guidance prospectively replaces the other-than-temporary impairment model and requires the recognition of an allowance for reductions in a security’s fair value attributable to declines in credit quality, instead of a direct write-down of the security, when a valuation decline is determined to be other-than-temporary. Our available-for-sale debt securities only consist of U.S. Treasury or U.S. government-sponsored agencies securities; therefore, we do not currently expect the impact of the new guidance on available-for-sale securities to be material at adoption.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

On June 26, 2019, OFG Bancorp (the “Company”) and Oriental Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Oriental Bank”), entered into (i) a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS”), (ii) a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement (USVI) (the “USVI Purchase Agreement”) with BNS and (iii) a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement (PR) (the “PR Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Stock Purchase Agreement and the USVI Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) with BNS.

The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements (the “Scotiabank Transaction”), which are expected to close before year end of 2019, are subject to receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The Stock Purchase Agreement

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, Oriental Bank will acquire (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $10.00 per share, of Scotiabank de Puerto Rico, a bank chartered under the laws of Puerto Rico (“SBPR”), and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of second preferred non-cumulative redeemable stock, par value $10.00 per share, of SBPR (the “Preferred Stock”) (excluding any shares of Preferred Stock redeemed by SBPR prior to the SBPR Closing (as defined below) ((i) and (ii), the “Stock Purchase”). In addition, the Stock Purchase Agreement contemplates that, immediately following the consummation of the Stock Purchase, SBPR will merge with and into Oriental Bank, with Oriental Bank continuing as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”).

The consideration payable by Oriental Bank to BNS at the closing of the Stock Purchase (the “SBPR Closing” and the date on which the SBPR Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”) will be $550,000,000 in cash minus the amount of any Pre-Closing Secondary Dividend (as defined below) actually paid to BNS after the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement but on or prior to the Closing Date. In addition, the Stock Purchase Agreement contemplates that, prior to the SBPR Closing, SBPR will pay BNS (a) one or more dividends in an aggregate amount equal to $200,000,000 (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the schedules to the Stock Purchase Agreement) (the “Pre-Closing Primary Dividend”) and (b) secondarily to the Pre-Closing Primary Dividend, one or more additional dividends in an aggregate amount not to exceed $125,000,000 (the “Pre-Closing Secondary Dividend”).

The obligations of Oriental Bank and BNS to consummate the Stock Purchase are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including (a) the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, including the requisite regulatory approvals of the Puerto Rico Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (and, in the case of Oriental Bank’s obligations to consummate the Stock Purchase, without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition (as defined below)), (b) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain timing and materiality standards, (c) compliance in all material respects by the other party with its pre-closing covenants and agreements contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement and (d) the absence of any injunction or order prohibiting the consummation of the Stock Purchase, the Bank Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement. The obligations of BNS to consummate the Stock Purchase are also subject to receiving the requisite regulatory approval for the payment of the Pre-Closing Primary Dividend. The Stock Purchase is not conditioned on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the USVI Purchase Agreement or the PR Purchase Agreement.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Oriental Bank and BNS agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals. In addition, the Company and Oriental Bank agreed to take all actions necessary (including Remedial Actions and Capital Actions (each as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)) to obtain the applicable requisite regulatory approvals and consummate the Scotiabank Transaction as promptly as practicable, subject to an exception that provides that neither the Company nor Oriental Bank is required to take, or agree to take, any action that would constitute a Burdensome Condition. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the term “Remedial Action” is defined to include, among other things, divestitures, licenses or other dispositions of, or the holding separate of, deposits, loans, branches or operations of SBPR, the Company, Oriental Bank or their affiliates, and the term “Capital Acton” is defined to include, among other things, capital level and capital ratio maintenance commitments, capital plan creation and capital raising transactions. The Stock Purchase Agreement defines “Burdensome Condition” as any action, restriction or condition that would reasonably be expected to be materially burdensome to the Company, Oriental Bank and their affiliates, taken as a whole, following the consummation of the Stock Purchase, the Bank Merger or the transactions contemplated by the USVI Purchase Agreement or the PR Purchase Agreement. However, the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that a Capital Action will not constitute or be considered in determining whether any required action constitutes, a Burdensome Condition.

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, for three years after the Closing Date, BNS will not operate an FDIC-insured depository institution in Puerto Rico, offer retail banking or retail consumer finance products or services in Puerto Rico (excluding certain wealth management services) or accept deposits insured by the FDIC in Puerto Rico, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. In addition, from the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement and continuing for two years following the Closing Date, BNS agreed to certain restrictions on soliciting and hiring SBPR employees and soliciting SBPR customers, and Oriental Bank agreed to certain restrictions on soliciting and hiring certain BNS employees and soliciting certain BNS customers, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties made by each party, which are qualified by confidential disclosures provided to each party by the other party in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement. Each of Oriental Bank and BNS has agreed to various customary covenants, including, in the case of BNS, covenants regarding the conduct of SBPR’s business prior to the SBPR Closing. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for post-Closing indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants of each party in the Purchase Agreements, as well as indemnification obligations with respect to certain other matters. Each party’s indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of its representations and warranties generally are subject to a de minimis “per loss” requirement of $100,000, a deductible basket equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price under the Purchase Agreements and a cap equal to 10% of the aggregate purchase price under the Purchase Agreements, except for breaches of certain fundamental representations and warranties. Following the SBPR Closing, during any period in which the USVI Transaction (as defined below) or the PR Transaction (as defined below) has not been consummated, the indemnification deductible basket will be reduced by 1% of the purchase price under the USVI Purchase Agreement and 1% of the purchase price under the PR Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and the indemnification cap will be reduced by 10% of the purchase price under the USVI Purchase Agreement and 10% of the purchase price under the PR Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

Each party has the right to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, including if the Stock Purchase has not occurred on or prior to March 26, 2020, subject to an extension by either party until June 26, 2020 if the requisite regulatory approvals have not been obtained. Upon the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement as a result of the failure to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals as of the outside date referenced above (as extended), Oriental Bank will be required to reimburse BNS for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket transaction expenses. The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides that the aggregate amount of reimbursable expenses under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the USVI Purchase Agreement and the PR Purchase Agreement will not exceed $2,000,000.

USVI Purchase Agreement

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the USVI Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the USVI Purchase Agreement (the “USVI Closing” and the date on which the USVI Closing occurs the “USVI Closing Date”), Oriental Bank will acquire the U.S. Virgin Islands (the “USVIs”) banking operations of BNS through an acquisition of certain assets (including loans, ATMs and physical branch locations) and an assumption of certain liabilities (including deposits) (the “USVI Transaction”). The consideration payable in the USVI Transaction will be equal to the difference between (a) the sum of (i) cash on hand at the purchased branches and cash located in the purchased ATMs, (ii) the net book value of the purchased assets (which, in the case of the purchased loans, will be equal to the gross book value of the purchased loans minus $6,700,000 (or, if greater, the actual amount of reserves associated with the purchase loans as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the USVI Closing Date)), (iii) a $10,000,000 deposit premium and (iv) the fair market value of Other Assets (as defined in the USVI Purchase Agreement) that Oriental Bank elects to include as a purchased asset and (b) the net book value of the assumed liabilities, in each case, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the USVI Closing Date. If the foregoing calculation produces a positive number, that amount will be payable by Oriental Bank to BNS at the USVI Closing and if the foregoing calculation produces a negative number, the absolute value of that amount will be payable by BNS to Oriental Bank at the USVI Closing.

The obligations of Oriental Bank and BNS to consummate the USVI Transaction are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including (a) the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, including the requisite regulatory approvals of the Puerto Rico Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Virgin Islands Banking Board and the Lieutenant Governor of the Virgin Islands, Division of Banking, Insurance and Financial Regulation (and, in the case of Oriental Bank’s obligations to consummate the USVI Transaction, without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition), (b) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain timing and materiality standards, (c) compliance in all material respects by the other party with its pre-closing covenants and agreements contained in the USVI Purchase Agreement and (d) the absence of any injunction or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions

contemplated by the USVI Purchase Agreement. The consummation of the USVI Transaction is also subject to the consummation of the Stock Purchase either substantially contemporaneously with or prior to the USVI Closing.

The covenants and agreements in the Stock Purchase Agreement that address the obligations of the parties to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals, including those provisions addressing Remedial Actions, Capital Actions and Burdensome Conditions, also apply under the USVI Purchase Agreement with respect to the requisite regulatory approvals for the USVI Transactions.

The USVI Purchase Agreement provides that, for three years after the USVI Closing Date, BNS will not (a) open or operate a branch, subsidiary or depository institution that accepts deposits in the USVIs or (b) offer retail banking or retail consumer finance products or services in the USVIs (excluding certain wealth management services), in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the USVI Purchase Agreement. In addition, from the date of the USVI Purchase Agreement and continuing for two years following the USVI Closing Date, BNS agreed to certain restrictions on soliciting and hiring USVI branch employees and soliciting USVI branch customers, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the USVI Purchase Agreement.

The USVI Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties made by each party, which are qualified by confidential disclosures provided to each party by the other party in connection with the USVI Purchase Agreement. Each of Oriental Bank and BNS has agreed to various customary covenants, including, in the case of BNS, covenants regarding the conduct of the USVI branch business prior to the USVI Closing.

Each party has the right to terminate the USVI Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, including if (i) the Stock Purchase Agreement has been terminated or (ii) the USVI Transactions have not occurred on or prior to March 26, 2020, subject to an extension by either party until June 26, 2020 if the requisite regulatory approvals have not been obtained. If the Stock Purchase has not been consummated and the USVI Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of the failure to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals as of the outside date referenced above (as extended), Oriental Bank will be required to reimburse BNS for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket transaction expenses. The USVI Purchase Agreement also provides that the aggregate amount of reimbursable expenses under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the USVI Purchase Agreement and the PR Purchase Agreement will not exceed $2,000,000.

PR Purchase Agreement

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the PR Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the PR Purchase Agreement (the “PR Closing” and the date on which the PR Closing occurs, the “PR Closing Date”), Oriental Bank will acquire certain loans and other assets, and assume certain deposits and other liabilities, from BNS’s Puerto Rico branch (the “PR Transaction”). The consideration payable in the PR Transaction will be equal to the difference between (a) the net book value of the purchased assets (which, in the case of the purchased loans, will be equal to the gross book value of the purchased loans minus $27,700,000 (or, if greater, the actual amount of reserves associated with the purchase loans as of the PR Effective Time (as defined in the PR Purchase Agreement))) and (b) the net book value of the assumed liabilities, in each case, as of PR Effective Time. If the foregoing calculation produces a positive number, that amount will be payable by Oriental Bank to BNS at the PR Closing and if the foregoing calculation produces a negative number, the absolute value of that amount will be payable by BNS to Oriental Bank at the PR Closing.

The obligations of Oriental Bank and BNS to consummate the PR Transaction are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including (a) the receipt of required regulatory approvals of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (and, in the case of Oriental Bank’s obligations to consummate the PR Transaction, without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition), (b) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain timing and materiality standards, (c) compliance in all material respects by the other party with its pre-closing covenants and agreements contained in the PR Purchase Agreement and (d) the absence of any injunction or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the PR Purchase Agreement. The consummation of the PR Transaction is also subject to the consummation of the Stock Purchase either substantially contemporaneously with or prior to the PR Closing.

The covenants and agreements in the Stock Purchase Agreement that address the obligations of the parties to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals, including those provisions addressing Remedial Actions, Capital Actions and Burdensome Conditions, also apply under the PR Purchase Agreement with respect to the requisite regulatory approvals for the PR Transaction.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Under the PR Purchase Agreement, from the date of the PR Purchase Agreement and continuing for two years following the PR Closing Date, BNS agreed to certain restrictions on soliciting PR branch customers, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the PR Purchase Agreement.

The PR Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties made by each party, which are qualified by confidential disclosures provided to each party by the other party in connection with the PR Purchase Agreement. Each of Oriental Bank and BNS has agreed to various customary covenants, including, in the case of BNS, covenants regarding the administration of the purchased assets and assumed liabilities of PR branch prior to the PR Closing.

Each party has the right to terminate the PR Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, including if (i) the Stock Purchase Agreement has been terminated or (ii) the PR Transactions have not occurred on or prior to March 26, 2020, subject to an extension by either party until June 26, 2020 if the requisite regulatory approvals have not been obtained. If the Stock Purchase has not been consummated and the PR Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of the failure to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals as of the outside date referenced above (as extended), Oriental Bank will be required to reimburse BNS for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket transaction expenses. The PR Purchase Agreement also provides that the aggregate amount of reimbursable expenses under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the USVI Purchase Agreement and the PR Purchase Agreement will not exceed $2,000,000.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreements and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreements, which were filed as Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 2.2 and Exhibit 2.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K on July 2, 2019, and are incorporated therein by reference. The Purchase Agreements establish and govern the legal relations between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby and are not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the parties or their respective businesses. The representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreements may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or different from what a shareholder might view as material, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreements rather than establishing matters as facts, may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the Purchase Agreements that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreements and generally were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreements.

Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances because they were only made as of the date of the Purchase Agreements and are modified by confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the Purchase Agreements. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

NOTE 3 – RESTRICTED CASH

The following table includes the composition of Oriental’s restricted cash:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2019		2018
	(In thousands)
Cash pledged as collateral to other financial institutions to secure:
Derivatives	$	-	$	1,980
Obligations under agreement of loans sold with recourse		1,050		1,050
	$	1,050	$	3,030

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank’s international banking entities, OIB and Oriental Overseas, a division of the Bank, held short-term highly liquid securities in the amount of $305 thousand and $325 thousand, respectively, as the legal reserve required for international banking entities under Puerto Rico law. These instruments cannot be withdrawn or transferred by OIB or Oriental Overseas without the prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico (the "OCFI").

As part of its derivative activities, Oriental enters into collateral agreements with certain financial counterparties. At September 30, 2019 collateral agreements have expired. At December 31, 2018, Oriental had delivered approximately $2.0 million of cash as collateral for such derivatives activities.

Oriental has a contract with FNMA which requires collateral to guarantee the repurchase, if necessary, of loans sold with recourse. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Oriental delivered as collateral cash amounting to approximately $1.1 million, for both periods.

The Bank is required by Puerto Rico law to maintain average weekly reserve balances to cover demand deposits. The amount of those minimum average reserve balances for the week that covered September 30, 2019 was $210.4 million (December 31, 2018 - $211.6 million). At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank complied with this requirement. Cash and due from bank as well as other short-term, highly liquid securities, are used to cover the required average reserve balances.

Oriental performs valuations of its investment securities on a monthly basis. Moreover, Oriental conducts quarterly reviews to identify and evaluate each investment in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment. Any portion of a decline in value associated with credit loss is recognized in the statements of operations with the remaining noncredit-related component recognized in other comprehensive income. A credit loss is determined by assessing whether the amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security, discounted at the rate equal to the yield used to accrete current and prospective beneficial interest for the security. The shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is considered to be the “credit loss.” Other-than-temporary impairment analysis is based on estimates that depend on market conditions and are subject to further change over time. In addition, while Oriental believes that the methodology used to value these exposures is reasonable, the methodology is subject to continuing improvement, including those made as a result of market developments. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that changes in estimates or conditions could result in the need to recognize additional other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.

All of the investments ($409.2 million, amortized cost) with an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2019 consist of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, all of which are highly liquid securities that have a large and efficient secondary market. Their aggregate losses and their variability from period to period are the result of changes in market conditions, and not due to the repayment capacity or creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors of such securities.

Originated and Other Loans and Leases Held for Investment

Oriental’s originated and other loans held for investment are encompassed within four portfolio segments: mortgage, commercial, consumer, and auto and leasing.

The tables below present the aging of the recorded investment in gross originated and other loans held for investment at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, by class of loans. Mortgage loans past due include delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program. Servicers of loans underlying GNMA mortgage-backed securities must report as their own assets the defaulted loans that they have the option (but not the obligation) to repurchase, even when they elect not to exercise that option.

At September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, Oriental had a carrying balance of $96.7 million and $91.4 million, respectively, in current status, in originated and other loans held for investment granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities, as part of the institutional commercial loan segment. All originated and other loans granted to the Puerto Rico government are general obligations of municipalities secured by ad valorem taxation, without limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the issuing municipalities. The good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of each issuing municipality are pledged for the payment of its general obligations.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans were initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for under either ASC 310-30 or ASC 310-20. We have acquired loans in the acquisitions of BBVAPR and Eurobank.

Acquired BBVAPR Loans

Accounted for under ASC 310-20 (Loans with revolving feature and/or acquired at a premium)

Credit cards, retail and commercial revolving lines of credits, floor plans and performing auto loans with FICO scores over 660 acquired at a premium are accounted for under the guidance of ASC 310-20, which requires that any contractually required loan payment receivable in excess of Oriental’s initial investment in the loans be accreted into interest income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loan. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 are placed on non-accrual status when past due in accordance with Oriental’s non-accrual policy, and any accretion of discount or amortization of premium is discontinued. Acquired BBVAPR loans that were accounted for under the provisions of ASC 310-20 are removed from the acquired loan category at the end of the reporting period upon refinancing, renewal or normal re-underwriting.

Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are excluded from the above table as they are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method, in which these loans will accrete interest income over the remaining life of the loans using estimated cash flow analyses or are accounted under the cost recovery method.

Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable FHA and VA programs are classified as non-performing loans when they become 90 days or more past due, but are not placed in non-accrual status until they become 12 months or more past due, since they are insured loans. Therefore, these loans are included as non-performing loans but excluded from non-accrual loans. In addition, these loans are excluded from the impairment analysis.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans whose terms have been extended and which are classified as troubled-debt restructurings that are not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $103.8 million and $112.9 million, respectively, as they are performing under their new terms.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans that are current in their monthly payments, but placed in non-accrual due to credit deterioration amounted to $16.6 million and $21.2 million, respectively.

Impaired Loans

Oriental evaluates all loans, some individually and others as homogeneous groups, for purposes of determining impairment. The total investment in impaired commercial loans that were individually evaluated for impairment was $59.5 million and $82.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The impairments on these commercial loans were measured based on the fair value of collateral or the present value of cash flows, including those identified as troubled-debt restructurings. The allowance for loan and lease losses for these impaired commercial loans amounted to $4.9 million and $8.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The total investment in impaired mortgage loans that were individually evaluated for impairment was $71.7 million and $84.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Impairment on mortgage loans assessed as troubled-debt restructurings was measured using the present value of cash flows. The allowance for loan losses for these impaired mortgage loans amounted to $6.8 million and $10.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

Oriental categorizes originated and other loans and acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as economic conditions, portfolio risk characteristics, prior loss experience, and the results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans.

Oriental uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans classified as “pass” have a well-defined primary source of repayment very likely to be sufficient, with no apparent risk, strong financial position, minimal operating risk, profitability, liquidity and capitalization better than industry standards.

Special Mention: Loans classified as “special mention” have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as “substandard” are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans classified as “loss” are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

Oriental maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses at a level that management considers adequate to provide for probable losses based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks. Oriental’s allowance for loan and lease losses policy provides for a detailed quarterly analysis of probable losses. The analysis includes a review of historical loan loss experience, value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers and other pertinent factors. While management uses available information in estimating probable loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be required based on factors beyond Oriental’s control. We also maintain an allowance for loan losses on acquired loans when: (i) for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, there is deterioration in credit quality subsequent to acquisition, and (ii) for loans accounted for under ASC 310-20, the inherent losses in the loans exceed the remaining credit discount recorded at the time of acquisition.

Allowance for Originated and Other Loan and Lease Losses Held for Investment

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, Oriental transferred to held-for-sale $25.9 million of mostly non-performing loans, increasing the provision by $15.9 million.

The following tables present the activity in our allowance for loan and lease losses and the related recorded investment of the originated and other loans held for investment portfolio by segment for the periods indicated:

Loans Accounted for under ASC 310-30 (including those accounted for under ASC 310-30 by analogy)

For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, as part of the evaluation of actual versus expected cash flows, Oriental assesses on a quarterly basis the credit quality of these loans based on delinquency, severity factors and risk ratings, among other assumptions. Migration and credit quality trends are assessed at the pool level, by comparing information from the latest evaluation period through the end of the reporting period.

During the second and third quarter of 2019, Oriental decided to sell mostly non-performing loans increasing the provision of acquired BBVAPR loans accounted under ASC 310-30 by $20.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps

Oriental enters into interest rate swap contracts to hedge the variability of future interest cash flows of forecasted wholesale borrowings attributable to changes in a predetermined variable index rate. The interest rate swaps effectively fix Oriental’s interest payments on an amount of forecasted interest expense attributable to the variable index rate corresponding to the swap notional stated

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

rate. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for the forecasted wholesale borrowing transactions and are properly documented as such; therefore, qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. Any gain or loss associated with the effective portion of the cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into operations in the period during which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent there is no significant ineffectiveness in the cash flow hedging relationships. Currently, Oriental does not expect to reclassify any amount included in other comprehensive income (loss) related to these interest rate swaps to operations in the next twelve months.

An accumulated unrealized loss of $1.1 million and a gain of $14 thousand were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the valuation of these swaps at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and the related asset or liability is being reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

At December 31, 2018, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that were offered to clients represented an asset of $126 thousand and were included as part of derivative assets in the consolidated statements of financial position. The credit risk to these clients stemming from these derivatives, if any, is not material. At December 31, 2018, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that are the mirror-images of the derivatives offered to clients represented a liability of $126 thousand and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. No interest rate swaps were offered to clients at September 30, 2019.

Interest Rate Caps

Oriental has entered into interest rate cap transactions with various clients with floating-rate debt who wish to protect their financial results against increases in interest rates. In these cases, Oriental simultaneously enters into mirror-image interest rate cap transactions with financial counterparties. None of these cap transactions qualify for hedge accounting, and therefore, they are marked to market through earnings. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding total notional amount of interest rate caps was $41.8 million and $150.9 million, respectively. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the interest rate caps sold to clients represented a liability of $13 thousand and $207 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the interest rate caps purchased as mirror-images represented an asset of $13 thousand and $207 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

NOTE 12 – OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Oriental’s derivatives are subject to agreements which allow a right of set-off with each respective counterparty. In addition, Oriental’s securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase have a right of set-off with the respective counterparty under the supplemental terms of the master repurchase agreements. In an event of default, each party has a right of set-off against the other party for amounts owed in the related agreements and any other amount or obligation owed in respect of any other agreement or transaction between them. Security collateral posted to open and maintain a master netting agreement with a counterparty, in the form of cash and securities, may from time to time be segregated in an account at a third-party custodian pursuant to an account control agreement.

The following table presents the potential effect of rights of set-off associated with Oriental’s recognized financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

Oriental is subject to the provisions of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “Code”), which imposes a maximum statutory corporate tax rate of 37.5% on a corporation’s net taxable income. Under the Code, all corporations are treated as separate taxable entities and are not entitled to file consolidated tax returns. Such entities are subject to Puerto Rico regular income tax or the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) on income earned from all sources pursuant to the Code. The AMT is payable if it exceeds regular income tax. The excess of AMT over regular income tax paid in any one year may be used to offset regular income tax in future years, subject to certain limitations.

Oriental also has operations in the United States mainland through its wholly owned subsidiary, OPC, a retirement plan administrator based in Florida. In October 2017, Oriental expanded its operations in the United States through the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, OFG USA. Both subsidiaries are subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level. In addition, OPC is subject to Florida state taxes and OFG USA is subject to North Carolina state taxes.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Oriental’s net deferred tax asset amounted to $112.6 million and $113.8 million, respectively. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is mainly dependent upon

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax asset is deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Oriental will realize the deferred tax asset, net of the existing valuation allowances recorded at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The amount of the deferred tax asset that is considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if there are changes in estimates of future taxable income.

Oriental maintained an effective tax rate lower than statutory rate for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of 30.5% and 33.7%, respectively, mainly by investing in tax-exempt obligations, doing business through its international banking entity, and by expanding its operations in the U.S, which are taxed at a lower rate.

Oriental classifies unrecognized tax benefits in other liabilities. These gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if realized. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unrecognized tax benefits amounted at $478 thousand and $875 thousand, respectively. Oriental had accrued $42 thousand at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $81 thousand) for the payment of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, $438 thousand were released from the liabilities due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

Income tax expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was $1.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $23.5 million and $29.9 million, respectively.

NOTE 14 — REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Regulatory Capital Requirements

OFG Bancorp (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and Puerto Rico banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Oriental’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Oriental and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, federal banking regulators adopted capital rules based on the framework of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”), which became effective January 1, 2015 for Oriental and the Bank (subject to certain phase-in periods through January 1, 2019) and that replaced their general risk-based capital rules, advanced approaches rule, market risk rule, and leverage rules. Among other matters, the Basel III capital rules: (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”) and related regulatory capital ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets; (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting certain revised requirements; (iii) mandate that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital; and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions from and adjustments to capital as compared to prior regulations. The Basel III capital rules prescribe a new standardized approach for risk weightings that expand the risk-weighting categories from the previous four Basel I-derived categories (0%, 20%, 50% and 100%) to a larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets, and resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset classes.

Pursuant to the Basel III capital rules, the minimum capital ratios requirements are as follows:

4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets;

6.0% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets;

8.0% Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets; and

4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on consolidated financial statements (known

as the “leverage ratio”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, OFG Bancorp and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank is “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum CET1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the tables presented below.

NOTE 15 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock and Common Stock

On October 22, 2018, Oriental completed the conversion of all of its 84,000 shares of Series C preferred stock into common stock. Each share of Series C preferred stock was converted into 86.4225 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, the Series C preferred stock is no longer outstanding and all rights with respect to the Series C preferred stock have ceased and terminated, except the right to receive the number of whole shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock and any required cash-in-lieu of fractional shares. At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, preferred and common stock paid-in capital amounted $92.0 million and $59.9 million, respectively.

Additional Paid-in Capital

Additional paid-in capital represents contributed capital in excess of par value of common and preferred stock net of the costs of issuance. As of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accumulated issuance costs charged against additional paid-in capital amounted to $13.6 million and $10.1 million for common and preferred stock, respectively.

Legal Surplus

The Puerto Rico Banking Act requires that a minimum of 10% of the Bank’s net income for the year be transferred to a reserve fund until such fund (legal surplus) equals the total paid in capital on common and preferred stock. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank’s legal surplus amounted to $95.8 million and $90.2 million, respectively. The amount transferred to the legal surplus account is not available for the payment of dividends to shareholders.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Under Oriental’s current stock repurchase program, it is authorized to purchase in the open market up to $7.7 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The shares of common stock repurchased are to be held by Oriental as treasury shares. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Oriental did not repurchase any shares under the program.

At September 30, 2019 the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $70 million program is estimated at 353,007, and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $7.7 million by $21.90 (closing price of Oriental's common stock at September 30, 2019).

During the last quarter of 2018, Oriental converted all of its 84,000 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. Each Series C Preferred Stock share was converted into 86.4225 shares of common stock. In computing diluted earnings per common share during the first nine months of 2018, the 84,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that remained outstanding, with a conversion rate, subject to certain conditions, of 86.4225 shares of common stock per share, were included as average potential common shares from the date they were issued and outstanding. Moreover, in computing diluted earnings per common share, the dividends declared during the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 on the convertible preferred stock were added back as income available to common shareholders.

For the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, Oriental did not have weighted-average stock options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. For the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, weighted-average stock options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share not included in the calculation amounted to 307,925 and 435,950, respectively.

NOTE 18 – GUARANTEES

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $12.9 million and $23.9 million, respectively.

Oriental has a liability for residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse pursuant to FNMA’s residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $5.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

The following table shows the changes in Oriental’s liability for estimated losses from these credit recourse agreements, included in the consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine-Month Period Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	225	$	264	$	346	$	358
Net (charge-offs/terminations) recoveries		20		(60)		(101)		(154)
Balance at end of period	$	245	$	204	$	245	$	204

The estimated losses to be absorbed under the credit recourse arrangements were recorded as a liability when the credit recourse was assumed and are updated on a quarterly basis. The expected loss, which represents the amount expected to be lost on a given loan, considers the probability of default and loss severity. The probability of default represents the probability that a loan in good standing would become 120 days delinquent, in which case Oriental is obligated to repurchase the loan.

If a borrower defaults, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, Oriental is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third-party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum potential amount of future payments that Oriental would be required to make under the recourse arrangements is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, Oriental did not repurchase any mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provision. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, Oriental repurchased approximately $234 thousand and $569 thousand, respectively, of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions. If a borrower defaults, Oriental has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. Oriental suffers losses on these mortgage loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the collateral property are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan, any uncollected interest advanced, and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $245 thousand (December 31, 2018– $346 thousand).

When Oriental sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. Oriental's mortgage operations division groups conforming mortgage loans into pools which are exchanged for FNMA and GNMA mortgage-backed securities, which are generally sold to private investors, or are sold directly to FNMA or other private investors for cash. As required under such mortgage backed securities programs, quality review procedures are performed by Oriental to ensure that asset guideline qualifications are met. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, Oriental may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. During the quarters ended September 30, 2019, Oriental repurchased $528 thousand (September 30, 2018 – $1.6 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provision referred above. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, Oriental repurchased $10.5 million (September 30, 2018 – $5.9 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provision referred above.

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

During the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Oriental recognized $20 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $19 thousand and $41 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Oriental recognized $48 thousand and $406 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $60 thousand and $71 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties.

Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed securities programs of FNMA and GNMA, and to mortgage loans sold or serviced to certain other investors, including the FHLMC, require Oriental to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. At September 30, 2019, Oriental serviced $900.4 million (December 31, 2018 - $895.6 million) in mortgage loans for third-parties. Oriental generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from the mortgage owner, from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage loan is foreclosed or, in the case of FHA/VA loans, under the applicable FHA and VA insurance and guarantees programs. However, in the meantime, Oriental must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. Oriental must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the foreclosure proceedings and Oriental would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by Oriental under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $616 thousand (December 31, 2018 - $706 thousand). To the extent the mortgage loans underlying Oriental's servicing portfolio experience increased delinquencies, Oriental would be required to dedicate additional cash resources to comply with its obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional administrative costs related to increases in collection efforts.

NOTE 19— COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan Commitments

In the normal course of business, Oriental becomes a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of Oriental’s involvement in particular types of financial instruments.

Oriental’s exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amounts of those instruments, which do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. In addition, the measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are identified. Oriental uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Credit-related financial instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2019		2018
	(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	610,516	$	541,423
Commercial letters of credit		459		340

Commitments to extend credit represent agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Oriental evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by Oriental upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, commitments to extend credit consisted mainly of undisbursed available amounts on commercial lines of credit, construction loans, and revolving credit card arrangements. Since many of the unused commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used, the total amount of these unused commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These lines of credit had a reserve of $505 thousand and $627 thousand, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Commercial letters of credit are issued or confirmed to guarantee payment of customers’ payables or receivables in short-term international trade transactions. Generally, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended. However, the short-term nature of this instrument serves to mitigate the risk associated with these contracts.

The summary of instruments that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to guarantor’s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, is as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2019		2018
	(In thousands)
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	12,884	$	23,889
Loans sold with recourse		4,962		5,414

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are written conditional commitments issued by Oriental to guarantee the payment and/or performance of a customer to a third party (“beneficiary”). If the customer fails to comply with the agreement, the beneficiary may draw on the standby letter of credit or financial guarantee as a remedy. The amount of credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit in the event of non-performance is the face amount of the letter of credit or financial guarantee. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by Oriental upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Contingencies

Oriental and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. In the ordinary course of business, Oriental and its subsidiaries are also subject to governmental and regulatory examinations. Certain subsidiaries of Oriental, including the Bank (and its subsidiary, OIB), Oriental Financial Services, and Oriental Insurance, are subject to regulation by various U.S., Puerto Rico and other regulators.

Oriental seeks to resolve all arbitration, litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interests of Oriental and its shareholders, and contests allegations of liability or wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter.

Subject to the accounting and disclosure framework under the provisions of ASC 450, it is the opinion of Oriental’s management, based on current knowledge and after taking into account its current legal accruals, that the eventual outcome of all matters would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated statements of financial condition of Oriental. Nonetheless, given the substantial or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on Oriental’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. Oriental has evaluated all arbitration, litigation and regulatory matters where the likelihood of a potential loss is deemed reasonably possible. Oriental has determined that the estimate of the reasonably possible loss is not significant.

NOTE 20— OPERATING LEASES

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, Oriental adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For Oriental, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which Oriental is the lessee. Oriental elected the hindsight practical expedient, which allows entities to use hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. As a result of the changes to the lease terms, Oriental reduced its retained earnings by $736 thousand on the effective date, January 1, 2019.

Lessee Accounting

Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset.

Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred and include certain nonlease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases and for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Oriental’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments. All leases were classified as operating leases.

Substantially all of the leases in which Oriental is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and office space with terms extending through 2032. All of our leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on Oriental’s consolidated statements of financial condition. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated statements of financial condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Oriental leases to others certain space in its principal offices for terms extending through 2023; all are operating leases.

NOTE 21 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Oriental follows the fair value measurement framework under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value measurement framework defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This framework also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Money market investments

The fair value of money market investments is based on the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as these are reasonable estimates of fair value given the short-term nature of the instruments.

Investment securities

The fair value of investment securities is based on valuations obtained from an independent pricing provider, ICE Data Pricing (formerly known as IDC). ICE is a well-recognized pricing company and an established leader in financial information. Such securities are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 depending on the basis for determining fair value. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon externally developed models that use both observable and unobservable inputs depending on the market activity of the instrument, and such securities are classified as Level 3. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Oriental did not have investment securities classified as Level 3.

Derivative instruments

The fair value of the interest rate swaps is largely a function of the financial market’s expectations regarding the future direction of interest rates. Accordingly, current market values are not necessarily indicative of the future impact of derivative instruments on earnings. This will depend, for the most part, on the shape of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, as well as the expectations for rates in the future. The fair value of most of these derivative instruments is based on observable market parameters, which include discounting the instruments’ cash flows using the U.S. dollar LIBOR-based discount rates, and also applying yield curves that account for the industry sector and the credit rating of the counterparty and/or Oriental. Certain other derivative instruments with limited market activity are valued using externally developed models that consider unobservable market parameters. Based on their valuation methodology, derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 or Level 3.

Servicing assets

Servicing assets do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Servicing assets are priced using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation model considers servicing fees, portfolio characteristics, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, cost to service and other economic factors. Due to the unobservable nature of certain valuation inputs, the servicing rights are classified as Level 3.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate in a discounted cash flow calculation, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Expected cash flows are based on internal inputs reflecting expected default rates on contractual cash flows. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value described in ASC 820-10 and would generally result in a higher value than the exit-price approach. For loans measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less costs to sell, fair value is generally determined based on the fair value of the collateral, which is derived from appraisals that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets in similar locations, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-10-35 less disposition costs. Currently, the associated loans considered impaired are classified as Level 3.

Foreclosed real estate

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Foreclosed real estate includes real estate properties securing residential mortgage and commercial loans. The fair value of foreclosed real estate may be determined using an external appraisal, broker price option or an internal valuation. These foreclosed assets are classified as Level 3 given certain internal adjustments that may be made to external appraisals.

Other repossessed assets

Other repossessed assets include repossessed automobiles. The fair value of the repossessed automobiles may be determined using internal valuation and an external appraisal. These repossessed assets are classified as Level 3 given certain internal adjustments that may be made to external appraisals.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are summarized below:

Information about Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs

Servicing assets – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Oriental’s servicing assets are constant prepayment rates and discount rates. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or offset the sensitivities. Mortgage banking activities, a component of total banking and financial service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the mortgage loan servicing rights, which may result from changes in the valuation model inputs or assumptions (principally reflecting changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) and other changes, including changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The information about the estimated fair value of financial instruments required by GAAP is presented hereunder. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of Oriental.

The estimated fair value is subjective in nature, involves uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect these fair value estimates. The fair value estimates do not take into consideration the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments. Other significant tangible and intangible assets that are not considered financial instruments are the value of long-term customer relationships of retail deposits, and premises and equipment.

The estimated fair value and carrying value of Oriental’s financial instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows:

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of significant financial instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

• Cash and cash equivalents (including money market investments and time deposits with other banks), restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, accounts receivable and other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other borrowings have been valued at the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as these are reasonable estimates of fair value given the short-term nature of the instruments.

• Investments in FHLB-NY stock are valued at their redemption value.

• The fair value of investment securities, including trading securities and other investments, is based on quoted market prices, when available or prices provided from contracted pricing providers, or market prices provided by recognized broker-dealers. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon externally developed models that use both observable and unobservable inputs depending on the market activity of the instrument.

• The fair value of servicing asset is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions.

• The fair values of the derivative instruments, which include interest rate swaps and forward-settlement swaps, are based on the net discounted value of the contractual projected cash flows of both the pay-fixed receive-variable legs of the contracts. The projected cash flows are based on the forward yield curve and discounted using current estimated market rates.

• The fair value of the loan portfolio (including loans held-for-sale and non-performing loans) is based on the exit market price, which is estimated by segregating by type, such as mortgage, commercial, consumer, auto and leasing. Each loan segment is further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rates. The fair value is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows, adjusted for prepayment estimates (voluntary and involuntary), if any, using estimated current market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.

• The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows, using estimated current market discount rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

• The fair value of long-term borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from FHLB, and subordinated capital notes is based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows using current estimated market discount rates for borrowings with similar terms, remaining maturities and put dates.

In May 2014 FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard that would remove inconsistencies in revenue requirements, provide a more robust framework for addressing the revenue issues, improve comparability in revenue recognition and to simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer.

The standard defines revenue (ASC-606-10-20) as inflows or other enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operations.

Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer, either at a point in time or over time. Where a performance obligation is satisfied over time, the related revenue is also recognized over time.

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Oriental recognizes the revenue from banking services, wealth management and mortgage banking based on the nature and timing of revenue streams from contracts with customer:

Banking Service Revenues

Electronic banking fees are credit and debit card processing services, use of the Bank’s ATMs by non-customers, debit card interchange income and service charges on deposit accounts. Revenue is recorded once the contracted service has been provided.

Service charges on checking and saving accounts as consumer periodic maintenance revenue is recognized once the service is rendered, while overdraft and late charges revenue are recorded after the contracted service has been provided.

Other income as credit life commissions, servicing and other loan fees, international fees, and miscellaneous fees recognized as banking services revenue are out of the scope of the 606 guidelines.

Wealth Management Revenue

Insurance income from commissions and sale of annuities are recorded once the sale has been completed.

Brokers fees consist of two categories:

· Sales commissions generated by advisors for their clients’ purchases and sales of securities and other investment products, which are collected once the stand-alone transactions are completed at trade date or as earned, and managed account fees which are fees charged to advisors’ clients’ accounts on the Company corporate advisory platform. These revenues do not cover future services, as a result there is no need to allocate the amount received to any other service.

· Fees for providing distribution services related to mutual funds, net of compensation paid to a service provider who provides such services, as well as trailer fees (also known as 12b-1 fees). These fees are considered variable and are recognized over time, as the uncertainty of the fees to be received is resolved as the net asset value of the mutual fund is determined and investor activity occurs. Fees do not cover future services, as a result there is no need to allocate the amount received to any other service.

Retirement plan and administration fees are revenues related to the payment received from the clients of OPC for assistance with the planning, design and administration of retirement plans, acting as third-party administrator for such plans, and daily record keeping services of retirement plans. Fees are collected once the stand-alone transaction was completed at trade date. Fees do not cover future services, as a result there is no need to allocate the amount received to any other service.

Trust fees are revenues related to fiduciary services provided to 401K retirement plans, a unit investment trust, and retirement plans, which include investment management, payment of distributions, if any, safekeeping, custodial services of plan assets, servicing of Trust officers, on-going due diligence of the Trust, and recordkeeping of transactions. Fees are billed based on services contracted. Negotiated fees are detailed in the contract. Fees collected in advance, are amortized over the term of the contract. Fees are collected on a monthly basis once the administrative service has been completed. Monthly fee does not include future services.

Investment banking fees as compensation fees are out of the scope of the 606 guidelines.

Mortgage Banking Activities

Mortgage banking activities as servicing fees, gain on sale of mortgage loans valuation and other are out of the scope of the 606 guidelines.

NOTE 23 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Oriental segregates its businesses into the following major reportable segments of business: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury. Management established the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. Other factors such as Oriental’s organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of the products were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. Oriental measures the performance of these reportable segments based on pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income, net interest income, loan production, and fees generated. Oriental’s methodology for allocating non-interest expenses among segments is based on several factors such as revenue, employee headcount, occupied space, dedicated services or time, among others. These factors are reviewed on a periodical basis and may change if the conditions warrant.

Banking includes the Bank’s branches and traditional banking products such as deposits and commercial, consumer and mortgage loans. Mortgage banking activities are carried out by the Bank’s mortgage banking division, whose principal activity is to originate mortgage loans for Oriental’s own portfolio. As part of its mortgage banking activities, Oriental may sell loans directly into the secondary market or securitize conforming loans into mortgage-backed securities.

Wealth Management is comprised of the Bank’s trust division, Oriental Financial Services, Oriental Insurance, and OPC. The core operations of this segment are financial planning, money management and investment banking, brokerage services, insurance sales activity, corporate and individual trust and retirement services, as well as retirement plan administration services.

The Treasury segment encompasses all of Oriental’s asset/liability management activities, such as purchases and sales of investment securities, interest rate risk management, derivatives, and borrowings. Intersegment sales and transfers, if any, are accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion of Oriental’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Financial Data” and Oriental’s consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), for discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Oriental is a publicly-owned financial holding company that provides a full range of banking and financial services through its subsidiaries, including commercial, consumer, auto and mortgage lending; checking and savings accounts; financial planning, insurance and securities brokerage services; and corporate and individual trust and retirement services. Oriental operates through three major business segments: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury, and distinguishes itself based on quality service. Oriental has 39 branches in Puerto Rico and a subsidiary in Boca Raton, Florida, and a non-bank operating subsidiary in Cornelius, North Carolina. Oriental’s long-term goal is to strengthen its banking and financial services franchise by expanding its lending businesses, increasing the level of integration in the marketing and delivery of banking and financial services, maintaining effective asset-liability management, growing non-interest revenue from banking and financial services, and improving operating efficiencies.

Oriental’s diversified mix of businesses and products generates both the interest income traditionally associated with a banking institution and non-interest income traditionally associated with a financial services institution (generated by such businesses as securities brokerage, fiduciary services, investment banking, insurance agency, and retirement plan administration). Although all of these businesses, to varying degrees, are affected by interest rate and financial market fluctuations and other external factors, Oriental’s commitment is to continue producing a balanced and growing revenue stream.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLIC IES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We provide a summary of our significant accounting policies in “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our 2018 Form 10-K.

In the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of our 2018 Form 10-K, we identified several accounting policies as critical, including the following, because they require significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our reported results of operations or financial condition:

· Interest on loans and allowance for loan and lease losses

· Accounting for purchased credit-impaired loans

We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. Management has reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies and has discussed its judgments and assumptions with the Risk and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors. As part of Oriental’s continuous enhancement to the allowance for loan and lease losses methodology, during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an assessment of environmental factors was performed for auto, mortgage, consumer and commercial portfolios. As a result, the impact of each environmental factor was calibrated based on their correlation with each portfolio. Current environmental factors adjustments reflect our assessment of the impact to our portfolio, taking into consideration current evolution of the portfolio, recent economic developments, changes in values of collateral and delinquencies, among others. These changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses’ environmental factors adjustments for the auto, mortgage, consumer and commercial portfolios are considered a change in accounting estimate as per ASC 250-10 provisions, where adjustments should be made prospectively. Apart from these changes, there have been no other material changes in the methods used to formulate these critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2018 Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Oriental’s core operations continued to deliver excellent results during the third quarter of 2019. We took advantage of market conditions and sold MBS and fully charged off loans at a profit and decided to sell a good portion of our remaining non-performing loans. This further strengthens our liquidity and balance sheet to continue our growth strategy and prefunds our $560 million acquisition of Scotiabank’s operations in PR and USVI.

Our strategies are proving highly effective in capturing the positive economic shift taking place in Puerto Rico. Our small business, auto and consumer loan production, core deposit growth, improved credit quality and capital, and number of net new clients confirm the success of our customer focused approach to banking – Fácil, Rápido, Hecho (Easy, Fast, Done). As a result, we generated a 14% year over year increase in adjusted earnings per share. With our NPL sales, we reduced 3Q19 non-performing loans 40% year over year, to 2% of originated loans, which will enable us to free up resources, reduce NPL related expenses, and increase operating flexibility. Combined with the sale of MBS, we have close to $1 billion in cash to fund our growth plans, including our acquisition of Scotiabank’s PR and USVI operations. The MBS sales also enabled us to reduce high cost brokered CDs and borrowings.

Looking ahead, Oriental will further consolidate its position as the premier retail bank on the island. Upon closing the Scotiabank Transaction, we become the second largest bank in Puerto Rico in core deposits, branches, automated and interactive teller machines, mortgage servicing, and insurance brokerage, and the third largest bank in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Comparison of the quarters ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018

· Net income available to shareholders of $5.8 million, or $0.11 per share fully diluted, reflects the impact of several strategic transactions, compared to $19.6 million, or $0.43 per share fully diluted. Book value per common share grew 3.1% to $18.84. Tangible Book Value per common share expanded 5.4% to $17.11.

· Third quarter of 2019 included $40.5 million pre-tax from items that negatively affected results, primarily due to the decision to sell mostly non-performing loans, partially offset by $13.0 million pre-tax from items that benefited results, such as the sale of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and of fully charged-off loans, and the adjustment to the qualitative factors of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

· Excluding the above items, the third quarter of 2019 adjusted net income available to shareholders was $26.5 million, or $0.48 per share fully diluted.

· Loans at September 30, 2019 increased 1.2% to $4.41 billion. Average core deposits rose 3.4% to $4.56 billion, while non-core funding was reduced 41.7% by quarter end. New loan origination of $291.4 million reflected Oriental Bank’s success in targeting small business customers and our growing consumer banking business. Net Interest Margin remained strong at 5.35%, total delinquency rate improved, and capital metrics continued to climb to new multi-year highs.

Oriental prepared its consolidated financial statement using accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or the ‘reported basis”). In addition to analyzing Oriental’s results on the reported basis, management monitors the “Adjusted net income” of Oriental and excludes the impact of certain transactions on the results of its operations. Management believes that “Adjusted net income” provides meaningful information to investors about the underlying performance of Oriental’s ongoing operations. “Adjusted net income” is a non-GAAP financial measure.

The table below describes adjustments to net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

Excluding the aforementioned impact (Non-GAAP):

· The following resulted in a net $32.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses:

• Increase of $39.0 million primarily from deciding to sell $95.0 million unpaid principal balance in non-performing commercial and mortgage loans, both acquired and originated. These are expected to be sold in the fourth quarter of 2019.

• Decrease of $2.4 million from the proceeds of the sale of $26.0 million of previously charged off auto and consumer loans.

• Decrease of $4.5 million from the adjustment to qualitative factors of the allowance for loan and lease losses, reflecting sustained favorable macroeconomic conditions in Puerto Rico.

· The sale of $322.0 million of low-yielding MBS available-for-sale investments resulted in a $3.5 million pre-tax gain in other income, and the continued reduction of higher cost brokered CDs and repurchase agreements funding.

· The following resulted in a net $1.0 million reduction in non-interest expenses: $1.5 million credit for FDIC insurance assessment, $1.0 million credit from Hacienda on employee retention during hurricane Maria, and $1.6 million in Scotiabank acquisition related expenses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a function of the difference between rates earned on Oriental’s interest-earning assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread) and the relative amounts of its interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate margin). Oriental constantly monitors the composition and re-pricing of its assets and liabilities to maintain its net interest income at adequate levels.

Comparison of the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Net interest income of $80.7 million decreased $1.6 million from $82.3 million. Interest rate spread decreased 7 basis points to 5.23% from 5.30% and net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 5.35% from 5.39%. These decreases are mainly due to the net effect of an increase of 4 basis points in the average yield of total interest-earning assets and an increase of 11 basis points in average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income was positively impacted by:

Increase in interest income from originated loans of $5.9 million, reflecting higher balances in commercial, consumer and auto loan portfolios.

Increase in interest income from cash and money markets instruments of $2.4 million reflecting the $322.4 million of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities sale in the quarter ended September 30, 2019; and

Decrease of $864 thousand in the interest expense from borrowings mainly related to the sale of mortgage-backed securities which reduced the necessity of high cost repurchase agreements funding.

Net interest income was adversely impacted by:

· Decrease in interest income from investment securities of $4.6 million, or 41 basis points, due to a decrease in volume and yield of $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, mainly reflecting the sale of $322.4 million of mortgage-backed securities in the quarter ended September 30, 2019;

· Decrease in interest income from acquired loans of $4.2 million, reflecting decrease in volume of $2.7 million and yield of $1.5 million as such loans continue to be repaid; and

· Increase in interest expense from deposits of $2.0 million, mainly from an increase in cost of customer deposits and brokered deposits of $1.9 million and $527 thousand, respectively.

Comparison of the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Net interest income of $243.6 million increased $9.7 million from $233.9 million. Interest rate spread increased 4 basis points to 5.26% from 5.22% and net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 5.38% from 5.29%. These increases are mainly due to the net effect of an increase of 23 basis points in the average yield of total interest-earning assets and 19 basis points in the total average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income was positively impacted by:

Increase in interest income from originated loans by $29.0 million, reflecting higher balances in commercial, consumer and auto loan portfolios; and

Higher interest income from cash and money market of $5.2 million due to increase in price and volume of $1.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Net interest income was adversely impacted by:

· Decrease in the interest income from acquired loans of $11.1 million as such loans continue to be repaid;

105

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Increase in interest expense from deposits of $6.0 million, mainly from an increase in customer and brokered deposit costs of $5.2 million and $912 thousand, respectively, and increase in cost of repurchase agreements of $1.0 million; and

Decrease in interest income from investment of $5.8 million reflecting mortgage-backed securities sale in the second and third quarter of 2019.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income is affected by the amount of the trust department assets under management, transactions generated by clients’ financial assets serviced by the securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries, the level of mortgage banking activities, fees generated from loans and deposit accounts, and gains on sales of assets.

Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Oriental recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $22.2 million, compared to $18.6 million, an increase of 19.1%, or $3.6 million. The net increase in non-interest income was mainly due to a gain on the sale of $322.4 million mortgage-backed securities during the quarter of $3.5 million.

Comparison of nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Oriental recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $62.8 million, compared to $55.8 million, an increase of 12.4%, or $7.0 million. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to a gain on the sale of $672.2 million mortgage-backed securities during the period of $8.3 million. The increase in non-interest income was partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking activities of $1.0 million, mainly reflecting lower mortgage servicing fees.

Non-Interest Expenses

Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Non-interest expense was $50.7 million, representing a decrease of .0.4% compared to $50.9 million.

The decrease in non-interest expenses was driven by:

Lower insurance expenses by $2.0 million, mainly driven by a $1.5 million insurance assessment credit from the savings association insurance fund (SAIF);

Lower occupancy, equipment and infrastructure costs by $1.1 million, mainly attributed lower rent expenses due to the termination of several lease contracts and the closure of branches in 2018;

Lower other non-interest expense by $705 thousand mainly related to lower claims and settlement accruals and lower allowances than prior year quarter; and

Lower credit related expenses by $641 thousand, mainly attributed to lower foreclosure and repossession expenses.

The decreases in the foregoing non-interest expenses were offset by:

Higher compensation and employee benefits by $2.0 million, mainly due to an increase in average employees; and

Merger and restructuring charges incurred in the quarter amounting to $1.6 million related to the agreements with the Bank Nova Scotia to acquire its Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands operations.

The efficiency ratio was 51.11% from 50.58%. The efficiency ratio measures how much of Oriental’s revenues is used to pay operating expenses. Oriental computes its efficiency ratio by dividing non-interest expenses by the sum of its net interest income and non-interest income, but excluding gains on the sale of investment securities, derivatives gains or losses, other gains and losses, and other income that may be considered volatile in nature. Management believes that the exclusion of those items permits consistent comparability. Amounts presented as part of non-interest income that are excluded from the efficiency ratio computation for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $3.6 million and $174 thousand, respectively.

Comparison of nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Non-interest expense was $154.3 million, representing a decrease of 0.7% compared to $155.4 million.

The decrease in non-interest expenses was driven by:

Lower other operating expenses by $2.8 million, mainly attributed to higher claims and settlements accruals and other losses, and to minor repairs to physical assets related to the impact of hurricanes during the year ago period, which were not present in 2019;

Lower occupancy, equipment and infrastructure costs by $2.8 million, mainly attributed lower rent expenses due to the termination of several lease contracts and the closure of branches in 2018, partially offset by $478 thousand received in the prior year period as an early termination from one of our former tenants; and

Lower insurance expenses by $2.5 million, mainly driven by a $1.5 million SAIF insurance assessment credit and lower assessment rate.

The decreases in the foregoing non-interest expenses were partially offset by:

Higher compensation and employee benefits by $3.5 million, mainly due to an increase in average employees;

Merger and restructuring charges incurred amounting to $2.6 million related to the agreements with The Bank Nova Scotia on June 26, 2019 to acquire its Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands operations; and

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Higher professional and service fees by $1.4 million, mainly consulting and advisory fees.

The efficiency ratio improved to 51.83% from 53.77%. Amounts presented as part of non-interest income that are excluded from efficiency ratio computation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $8.6 million and $758 thousand, respectively.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Based on an analysis of the credit quality and the composition of Oriental’s loan portfolio, management determined that the provision for the quarters was adequate to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at an appropriate level to provide for probable losses based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks.

Provision for loan and lease losses, net increased $29.2 million from $14.6 million to $43.8 million, resulting from:

Increase of $39.0 million primarily from deciding to sell $95.0 million in unpaid principal balance of non-performing commercial and mortgage loans, both acquired and originated;

Decrease of $2.4 million from the proceeds of the sale of $26.0 million of previously charged off auto and consumer loans;

Decrease of $4.5 million from the adjustment to qualitative factors of the allowance for loan and lease losses, reflecting sustained favorable macroeconomic conditions in Puerto Rico; and

Decrease of $2.9 million reflecting improved asset quality.

Please refer to the "Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" in the "Credit Risk Management" section of this MD&A for a more detailed analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Income tax expense was $1.0 million, compared to $12.3 million, reflecting a decrease in the effective income tax rate to 12.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as a result of a decrease in the estimated annual effective income tax rate to 30.5%.

Comparison of nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Income tax expense was $23.5 million, compared to $29.9 million, reflecting a decrease in the effective income tax rate to 30.5%, mainly due to a higher proportion of exempt income and income subject to preferential rates.

Business Segments

Oriental segregates its businesses into the following major reportable segments: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury. Management established the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. Other factors such as Oriental’s organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of its services were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. Oriental measures the performance of these reportable segments based on pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income, net interest income, loan production, and fees generated. Oriental’s methodology for allocating non-interest expenses among segments is based on several factors such as revenue, employee headcount, occupied space, dedicated services or time, among others. Following are the results of operations and the selected financial information by operating segment for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets Owned

At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s total assets amounted to $6.334 billion representing a decrease of 3.8% when compared to $6.583 billion at December 31, 2018. Investments decreased $749.9 million, loans decreased $24.4 million and cash increased $514.8 million.

In January 1, 2019 Oriental reclassified $424.7 million of its held-to-maturity securities into available-for-sale securities as a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-12. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 Oriental sold $672.2 million of its available for sale mortgage-backed securities at a gain of $8.3 million in order to fund Oriental’s growth plans, including the Scotiabank Transaction. As a result of these sales, cash increased 115.2% to $961.8 million.

Oriental’s loan portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, commercial loans collateralized by mortgages on real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans, and auto loans. At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s loan portfolio decreased 1.0%. Loan production during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, reached $894.4 million compared to $1.096 million in the year ago period, a 18.4% decrease, mainly from lower originations in the commercial and the US loan program portfolios. The non-acquired loan portfolio increased $46.4 million from December 31, 2018 to $3.791 billion at September 30, 2019. From December 31, 2018, the BBVAPR acquired loan portfolio decreased $106.3 million to $570.2 million and the Eurobank acquired loan portfolio decreased $7.6 million to $79.4 million at September 30, 2019. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 Oriental decided to sell $168.8 million unpaid principal balance in non-performing mortgage and commercial loans, both acquired and originated, and recognized them at their fair value. Some of these loans were sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and the rest are expected to be sold in the last quarter of 2019.

In addition, assets reflect the adoption of the Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, under the effective date method, which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for lease classified as operating leases, prospectively. At September 30, 2019, the right of use assets amounted to $19.3 million.

Financial Assets Managed

114

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Oriental’s financial assets include those managed by Oriental’s trust division, retirement plan administration subsidiary, and assets gathered by its broker-dealer and insurance subsidiaries. Oriental’s trust division offers various types of individual retirement accounts ("IRAs") and manages 401(k) and Keogh retirement plans and custodian and corporate trust accounts, while the retirement plan administration subsidiary, OPC, manages private retirement plans. At September 30, 2019, total assets managed by Oriental’s trust division and OPC amounted to $2.980 billion, compared to $2.771 billion at December 31, 2018. Oriental Financial Services offers a wide array of investment alternatives to its client base, such as tax-advantaged fixed income securities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds and money management wrap-fee programs. At September 30, 2019, total assets gathered by Oriental Financial Services and Oriental Insurance from its customer investment accounts amounted to $2.349 billion, compared to $2.116 billion at December 31, 2018. Changes in trust and broker-dealer related assets primarily reflect changes in portfolio balances and differences in market values.

Goodwill

Goodwill recorded in connection with the BBVAPR Acquisition and the FDIC-assisted Eurobank Acquisition is not amortized to expense but is tested at least annually for impairment. A quantitative annual impairment test is not required if, based on a qualitative analysis, Oriental determines that the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired. Oriental completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31 of each year. Oriental tests for impairment by first allocating its goodwill and other assets and liabilities, as necessary, to defined reporting units. A fair value is then determined for each reporting unit. If the fair values of the reporting units exceed their book values, no write-down of the recorded goodwill is necessary. If the fair values are less than the book values, an additional valuation procedure is necessary to assess the proper carrying value of the goodwill.

Reporting unit valuation is inherently subjective, with a number of factors based on assumptions and management judgments or estimates. Actual values may differ significantly from such estimates. Among these are future growth rates for the reporting units, selection of comparable market transactions, discount rates and earnings capitalization rates. Changes in assumptions and results due to economic conditions, industry factors, and reporting unit performance and cash flow projections could result in different assessments of the fair values of reporting units and could result in impairment charges. If an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, an interim impairment test is required.

Relevant events and circumstances for evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount may include macroeconomic conditions (such as a further deterioration of the Puerto Rico economy or the liquidity for Puerto Rico securities or loans secured by assets in Puerto Rico), adverse changes in legal factors or in the business climate, adverse actions by a regulator, unanticipated competition, the loss of key employees, or similar events. Oriental’s loan portfolio, which is the largest component of its interest-earning assets, is concentrated in Puerto Rico and is directly affected by adverse local economic and fiscal conditions. Such conditions have generally affected the market demand for non-conforming loans secured by assets in Puerto Rico and, therefore, affect the valuation of Oriental’s assets.

As of September 30, 2019, Oriental had $86.1 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the Banking unit and $2.0 million to the Wealth Management unit. During the last quarter of 2018, based on its annual goodwill impairment test, Oriental determined that both units passed step one of the two-step impairment test. As a result of step one, the fair value of both units exceeded its adjusted net book value. Accordingly, Oriental determined that the carrying value of the goodwill allocated to the Banking unit and Wealth Management was not impaired as of the valuation date. There were no events that caused Oriental to perform interim testing in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Oriental’s loan portfolio is composed of two segments, loans initially accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as "originated and other" loans) and loans acquired (referred to as "acquired" loans). Acquired loans are further segregated between acquired BBVAPR loans and acquired Eurobank loans. Acquired Eurobank loans were purchased subject to loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, which were terminated by the first quarter of 2017.

As shown in Table 5 above, total loans, net, amounted to $4.407 billion at September 30, 2019 and $4.432 billion at December 31, 2018. Oriental’s originated and other loans held-for-investment portfolio composition and trends were as follows:

· Mortgage loan portfolio amounted to $589.4 million (15.5% of the gross originated loan portfolio) compared to $668.8 million (17.9% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2018. Mortgage loan production totaled $23.8 million and $69.1 million for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of 14.6% and 20.0% from $27.9 million and $86.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2018. Mortgage loans included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program amounting to $11.4 million and $19.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Servicers of loans underlying GNMA mortgage-backed securities must report as their own assets the defaulted loans that they have the option (but not the obligation) to repurchase, even when they elect not to exercise that option.

· Commercial loan portfolio amounted to $1.574 billion (41.5% of the gross originated loan portfolio) compared to $1.598 billion (42.7% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2018. Commercial loan production, including the U.S. loan program production of $12.2 million and $100.3 million, respectively, decreased 45.4% and 40.3% to $77.9 million and $290.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, from $142.7 million and $486.7 million, for the same periods in 2018.

· Consumer loan portfolio amounted to $362.4 million (9.6% of the gross originated loan portfolio) compared to $349.0 million (9.3% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2018. Consumer loan production increased 12.2% and 11.4% to $48.3 million and $136.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $43.0 million and $122.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2018.

· Auto and leasing portfolio amounted to $1.266 billion (33.4% of the gross originated loan portfolio) compared to $1.130 million (30.1 of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2018. Auto production continued strong at $141.5 million and $398.0 million, respectively for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $140.4 million and $399.6 million for the same periods in 2018.

Credit Risk Management

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The analysis includes a review of historical loan loss experience, value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers and other pertinent factors. While management uses available information in estimating probable loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be required based on factors beyond Oriental’s control. We also maintain an allowance for loan losses on acquired loans when: (i) for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, there is deterioration in credit quality subsequent to the acquisition, and (ii) for loans accounted for under ASC 310-20, the inherent losses in the loans exceed the remaining credit discount recorded at the time of acquisition.

At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $154.3 million, a $9.9 million decrease from $164.2 million at December 31, 2018.

Tables 8 through 10 set forth an analysis of activity in the allowance for loan and lease losses and present selected loan loss statistics. In addition, Table 5 sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio.

Please refer to the “Provision for Loan and Lease Losses” section in this MD&A for a more detailed analysis of provisions for loan and lease losses.

Non-performing Assets

Oriental’s non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate (see Tables 11 and 12). At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Oriental had $73.4 million and $119.7 million, respectively, of non-accrual loans, including acquired BBVAPR loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 (loans with revolving feature and/or acquired at a premium).

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans whose terms have been extended and which are classified as troubled-debt restructurings that are not included in non-performing assets amounted to $103.8 million and $112.9 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans that are current in their monthly payments, but placed in non-accrual amounted to $16.6 million and $21.2 million, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a $9.3 million loan that is current in its monthly payments was placed in non-accrual due to credit deterioration.

Acquired loans with credit deterioration are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method under ASC 310-30, in which these loans will accrete interest income over their remaining life using estimated cash flow analyses. Credit related decreases in expected cash flows, compared to those previously forecasted are recognized by recording a provision for credit losses on these loans when it is probable that all cash flows expected at acquisition will not be collected.

At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s non-performing assets decreased by 33.5% to $107.3 million (1.93% of total assets, excluding acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality) from $161.3 million (2.76% of total assets, excluding acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality) at December 31, 2018, mainly from deciding to sell mortgage and commercial loans, both originated and acquired, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets amounting to $27.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2019, and $33.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018, were recorded at fair value. Oriental does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses. At September 30, 2019, the allowance coverage ratio for originated loan and lease losses to non-performing loans was 104.39% (77.38% at December 31, 2018).

Oriental follows a conservative residential mortgage lending policy, with more than 90% of its residential mortgage portfolio consisting of fixed-rate, fully amortizing, fully documented loans that do not have the level of risk associated with subprime loans offered by certain major U.S. mortgage loan originators. Furthermore, Oriental has never been active in negative amortization loans or adjustable rate mortgage loans, including those with teaser rates.

The following items comprise non-performing assets:

· Originated and other loans held for investment:

Residential mortgage loans — are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due and are written-down, if necessary, based on the specific evaluation of the collateral underlying the loan, except for FHA and VA insured mortgage loans which are placed in non-accrual when they become 12 months or more past due. At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s originated non-performing mortgage loans totaled $21.1 million (27.5% of Oriental’s non-performing loans), a 66.8% decrease from $63.7 million (51.1% of Oriental’s non-performing loans) at December 31, 2018.

Commercial loans — are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due and are written-down, if necessary, based on the specific evaluation of the underlying collateral, if any. At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s originated non-performing commercial loans amounted to $35.6 million (46.2% of Oriental’s non-performing loans), a 16.1% decrease from $42.5 million at December 31, 2018 (34.1% of Oriental’s non-performing loans).

Consumer loans — are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due and written-off when payments are delinquent 120 days in personal loans and 180 days in credit cards and personal lines of credit. At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s originated non-performing consumer loans amounted to $4.0 million (5.2% of Oriental’s non-performing loans), a 19.5% increase from $3.4 million at December 31, 2018 (2.7% of Oriental’s non-performing loans).

Auto loans and leases — are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, partially written-off to collateral value when payments are delinquent 120 days, and fully written-off when payments are delinquent 180 days. At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s originated non-performing auto loans and leases amounted to $15.0 million (19.6% of Oriental’s total non-performing loans), an increase of 11.3% from $13.5 million at December 31, 2018 (10.8% of Oriental’s total non-performing loans).

Oriental has two mortgage loan modification programs. These are the Loss Mitigation Program and the Non-traditional Mortgage Loan Program. Both programs are intended to help responsible homeowners to remain in their homes and avoid foreclosure, while also reducing Oriental’s losses on non-performing mortgage loans.

The Loss Mitigation Program helps mortgage borrowers who are or will become financially unable to meet the current or scheduled mortgage payments. Loans that qualify under this program are those guaranteed by FHA, VA, RURAL, PRHFA, conventional loans guaranteed by Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC), conventional loans sold to FNMA and FHLMC, and conventional loans retained by Oriental. The program offers diversified alternatives such as regular or reduced payment plans, payment moratorium, mortgage loan modification, partial claims (only FHA), short sale, and payment in lieu of foreclosure.

The Non-traditional Mortgage Loan Program is for non-traditional mortgages, including balloon payment, interest only/interest first, variable interest rate, adjustable interest rate and other qualified loans. Non-traditional mortgage loan portfolios are segregated into the following categories: performing loans that meet secondary market requirement and are refinanced under the credit underwriting guidelines of FHA/VA/FNMA/ FHLMC, and performing loans not meeting secondary market guidelines processed pursuant Oriental’s current credit and underwriting guidelines. Oriental achieved an affordable and sustainable monthly payment by taking specific, sequential, and necessary steps such as reducing the interest rate, extending the loan term, capitalizing arrearages, deferring the payment of principal or, if the borrower qualifies, refinancing the loan.

In order to apply for any of the loan modification programs, if the borrower is active in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it must request an authorization from the bankruptcy trustee to allow for the loan modification. Borrowers with discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcies may also apply. Loans in these programs are evaluated by designated underwriters for troubled-debt restructuring classification if Oriental grants a concession for legal or economic reasons due to the debtor’s financial difficulties.

Liabilities and Funding Sources

As shown in Table 15 above, at September 30, 2019, Oriental’s total liabilities were $5.284 billion, 5.4% less than the $5.583 billion reported at December 31, 2018. Deposits and borrowings, Oriental’s funding sources, amounted to $5.184 billion at September 30, 2019 versus $5.479 billion at December 31, 2018, a 5.4% decrease.

Borrowings consist mainly of repurchase agreements, FHLB-NY advances and subordinated capital notes. At September 30, 2019, borrowings amounted to $305.9 million, representing a decrease of 46.4% when compared with the $570.4 million reported at December 31, 2018. The decrease in borrowings reflect the reduction of $241.0 million in repurchase agreements with the proceeds from the sale of $672.1 million of mortgage-backed securities during the second and third quarter of 2019.

On January 1, 2019, Oriental adopted the Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, under the effective date method, which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for leases classified as operating leases prospectively. At September 30, 2019, the lease liability amounted to $21.1 million.

At September 30, 2019, deposits represented 94% and borrowings represented 6% of interest-bearing liabilities. At September 30, 2019, deposits, the largest category of Oriental’s interest-bearing liabilities, were $4.878 billion, a slight decrease of 0.6% from $4.908 billion at December 31, 2018. Such decrease reflects a reduction of $62.8 million in brokered CD’s, mainly as a result of the sale of mortgage-backed securities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Stockholders’ Equity

At September 30, 2019, Oriental’s total stockholders’ equity was $1.049 billion, a 4.9% increase when compared to $999.9 million at December 31, 2018. This increase in stockholders’ equity reflects increases in retained earnings of $32.8 million and legal surplus of $5.6 million; and decreases in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax of $8.5 million and treasury stock, at cost, of $697 thousand. Book value per share was $18.84 at September 30, 2019 compared to $17.90 at December 31, 2018.

From December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019, tangible common equity to total assets increased from 12.59% to 13.87%, leverage capital ratio increased from 14.22% to 15.41%, common equity tier 1 capital ratio increased from 16.78% to 17.98%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increased from 19.20% to 20.43%, and total risk-based capital ratio increased from 20.48% to 21.71%. The increase in these ratios reflect an increase of $49.2 million in total capital.

On October 22, 2018, Oriental completed the conversion of all 84,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was converted into 86.4225 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, the Series C Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding and all rights with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock have ceased and terminated, except the right to receive the number of whole shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and any required cash-in-lieu of fractional shares.

Capital Rules to Implement Basel III Capital Requirements

Oriental and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. The current risk-based capital standards applicable to Oriental and the Bank (“Basel III capital rules”), which have been effective since January 1, 2015, are based on the final capital framework for strengthening international capital standards, known as Basel III, of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. As of September 30, 2019, the capital ratios of Oriental and the Bank continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.

The risk-based capital ratios presented in Table 14, which include common equity tier 1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are calculated based on the Basel III capital rules related to the measurement of capital, risk-weighted assets and average assets.

The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP measures and, unlike tier 1 capital and common equity tier 1 capital, are not codified in the federal banking regulations. Management and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets or 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 Oriental calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. To mitigate these limitations, Oriental has procedures in place to calculate these measures using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Background

Oriental’s risk management policies are established by its Board of Directors (the “Board”) and implemented by management through the adoption of a risk management program, which is overseen and monitored by the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, the Board’s Risk and Compliance Committee and the executive Risk and Compliance Team. Oriental has continued to refine and enhance its risk management program by strengthening policies, processes and procedures necessary to maintain effective risk management.

All aspects of Oriental’s business activities are susceptible to risk. Consequently, risk identification and monitoring are essential to risk management. As more fully discussed below, Oriental’s primary risk exposures include, market, interest rate, credit, liquidity, operational and concentration risks.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse movements in market rates or prices, such as interest rates or prices. Oriental evaluates market risk together with interest rate risk. Oriental’s financial results and capital levels are constantly exposed to market risk. The Board and management are primarily responsible for ensuring that the market risk assumed by Oriental complies with the guidelines established by policies approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the management of this risk to the Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) which is composed of certain executive officers from the business, treasury and finance areas. One of ALCO’s primary goals is to ensure that the market risk assumed by Oriental is within the parameters established in such policies.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure of Oriental’s earnings or capital to adverse movements in interest rates. It is a predominant market risk in terms of its potential impact on earnings. Oriental manages its asset/liability position in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on net interest income. ALCO oversees interest rate risk, liquidity management and other related matters.

In executing its responsibilities, ALCO examines current and expected conditions in global financial markets, competition and prevailing rates in the local deposit market, liquidity, unrealized gains and losses in securities, recent or proposed changes to the investment portfolio, alternative funding sources and their costs, hedging and the possible purchase of derivatives such as swaps, and any tax or regulatory issues which may be pertinent to these areas.

On a quarterly basis, Oriental performs a net interest income simulation analysis on a consolidated basis to estimate the potential change in future earnings from projected changes in interest rates. These simulations are carried out over a five-year time horizon, assuming certain gradual upward and downward interest rate movements, achieved during a twelve-month period. Instantaneous interest rate movements are also modeled. Simulations are carried out in two ways:

(i) using a static balance sheet as Oriental had on the simulation date, and

(ii) using a dynamic balance sheet based on recent organic growth patterns and core business strategies.

The balance sheet is divided into groups of assets and liabilities detailed by maturity or re-pricing and their corresponding interest yields and costs. As interest rates rise or fall, these simulations incorporate expected future lending rates, current and expected future funding sources and costs, the possible exercise of options, changes in prepayment rates, deposits decay and other factors which may be important in projecting the future growth of net interest income.

Oriental uses a software application to project future movements in Oriental’s balance sheet and income statement. The starting point of the projections generally corresponds to the actual values of the balance sheet on the date of the simulations.

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

These simulations are complex and use many assumptions that are intended to reflect the general behavior of Oriental over the period in question. There can be no assurance that actual events will match these assumptions in all cases. For this reason, the results of these simulations are only approximations of the true sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The following table presents the results of the simulations at September 30, 2019 for the most likely scenario, assuming a one-year time horizon:

	Net Interest Income Risk (one-year projection)
	Static Balance Sheet			Growing Simulation

+ 100 Basis points	$	9,879	3.16%	$	10,238	3.18%

- 200 Basis points	$	(18,703)	-5.99%	$	(19,305)	-6.00%

Future net interest income could be affected by Oriental’s investments in callable securities, prepayment risk related to mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, and any structured repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB-NY in which it may enter into from time to time. As part of the strategy to limit the interest rate risk and reduce the re-pricing gaps of Oriental’s assets and liabilities, Oriental has executed certain transactions which include extending the maturity and the re-pricing frequency of the liabilities to longer terms reducing the amounts of its structured repurchase agreements and entering into hedge-designated swaps to hedge the variability of future interest cash flows of forecasted wholesale borrowings that only consist of advances from the FHLB-NY as of September 30, 2019.

Oriental maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. Oriental’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities so that the net interest margin is not, on a material basis, adversely affected by movements in interest rates. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, hedged fixed-rate assets and liabilities will appreciate or depreciate in market value. Also, for some fixed-rate assets or liabilities, the effect of this variability in earnings is expected to be substantially offset by Oriental’s gains and losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to the forecasted cash flows of these hedged assets and liabilities. Oriental considers its strategic use of derivatives to be a prudent method of managing interest-rate sensitivity as it reduces the exposure of earnings and the market value of its equity to undue risk posed by changes in interest rates. The effect of this unrealized appreciation or depreciation is expected to be substantially offset by Oriental’s gains or losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged assets and liabilities. Another result of interest rate fluctuation is that the contractual interest income and interest expense of hedged variable-rate assets and liabilities, respectively, will increase or decrease.

Derivative instruments that are used as part of Oriental’s interest risk management strategy include interest rate swaps, forward-settlement swaps, futures contracts, and option contracts that have indices related to the pricing of specific balance sheet assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable-rate interest payments between two parties based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. Interest rate futures generally involve exchanged-traded contracts to buy or sell U.S. Treasury bonds and notes in the future at specified prices. Interest rate options represent contracts that allow the holder of the option to (i) receive cash or (ii) purchase, sell, or enter into a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified period. Some purchased option contracts give Oriental the right to enter into interest rate swaps and cap and floor agreements with the writer of the option. In addition, Oriental enters into certain transactions that contain embedded derivatives. When the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, it is bifurcated and carried at fair value. Please refer to Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information concerning Oriental’s derivative activities.

Following is a summary of certain strategies, including derivative activities, currently used by Oriental to manage interest rate risk:

139

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Interest rate swaps — Oriental entered into hedge-designated swaps to hedge the variability of future interest cash flows of forecasted wholesale borrowings attributable to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate. Once the forecasted wholesale borrowing transactions occurred, the interest rate swap effectively fixes Oriental’s interest payments on an amount of forecasted interest expense attributable to the one-month LIBOR rate corresponding to the swap notional stated rate. A derivative liability of $1.2 million (notional amount of $32.4 million) was recognized at September 30, 2019 related to the valuation of these swaps.

In addition, Oriental has certain derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments, which are utilized to convert certain variable-rate loans to fixed-rate loans, and the mirror-images of these interest rate swaps in which Oriental enters into to minimize its interest rate risk exposure that results from offering the derivatives to clients. These interest rate swaps are marked to market through earnings. At September 30, 2019, Oriental did not have interest rate swaps offered to clients not designated as hedging instruments.

Wholesale borrowings — Oriental uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of interest cash flows of certain advances from the FHLB-NY that are tied to a variable rate index. The interest rate swaps effectively fix Oriental’s interest payments on these borrowings. As of September 30, 2019, Oriental had $32.4 million in interest rate swaps at an average rate of 2.42% designated as cash flow hedges for $32.4 million in advances from the FHLB-NY that reprice or are being rolled over on a monthly basis.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the possibility of loss arising from a borrower or counterparty in a credit-related contract failing to perform in accordance with its terms. The principal source of credit risk for Oriental is its lending activities. In Puerto Rico, Oriental’s principal market, economic conditions are very challenging, as they have been for the last twelve years, due to a shrinking population, a protracted economic recession, a housing sector that remains under pressure, the Puerto Rico government’s fiscal and liquidity crisis, and the payment defaults on various Puerto Rico government bonds, with severe austerity measures expected for the Puerto Rico government to be able to restructure its debts under the supervision of the federally-created Fiscal Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico. In addition, as was demonstrated with hurricanes Irma and Maria during the month of September 2017, Puerto Rico is susceptible to natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, which can have a disproportionate impact on Puerto Rico because of the logistical difficulties of bringing relief to an island far from the United States mainland. Moreover, the Puerto Rico government's fiscal challenges and Puerto Rico's unique relationship with the United States also complicate any relief efforts after a natural disaster. These events increase credit risk as debtors may no longer be capable of operating their businesses and the collateral securing Oriental's loans may suffer significant damages.

Oriental manages its credit risk through a comprehensive credit policy which establishes sound underwriting standards by monitoring and evaluating loan portfolio quality, and by the constant assessment of reserves and loan concentrations. Oriental also employs proactive collection and loss mitigation practices.

Oriental may also encounter risk of default in relation to its securities portfolio. The securities held by Oriental are all agency mortgage-backed securities. Thus, these instruments are guaranteed by mortgages, a U.S. government-sponsored entity, or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Oriental’s executive Credit Risk Team, composed of its Chief Operating Officer, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, and other senior executives, has primary responsibility for setting strategies to achieve Oriental’s credit risk goals and objectives. Those goals and objectives are set forth in Oriental’s Credit Policy as approved by the Board.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of Oriental not being able to generate sufficient cash from either assets or liabilities to meet obligations as they become due without incurring substantial losses. The Board has established a policy to manage this risk. Oriental’s cash requirements principally consist of deposit withdrawals, contractual loan funding, repayment of borrowings as these mature, and funding of new and existing investments as required.

140

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Oriental’s business requires continuous access to various funding sources. While Oriental is able to fund its operations through deposits as well as through advances from the FHLB-NY and other alternative sources, Oriental’s business is dependent upon other external wholesale funding sources. Oriental has selectively reduced its use of certain wholesale funding sources, such as repurchase agreements and brokered deposits. As of September 30, 2019, Oriental had $190.0 million in repurchase agreements, excluding accrued interest, and $288.4 million in brokered deposits.

Brokered deposits are typically offered through an intermediary to small retail investors. Oriental’s ability to continue to attract brokered deposits is subject to variability based upon a number of factors, including volume and volatility in the global securities markets, Oriental’s credit rating, and the relative interest rates that it is prepared to pay for these liabilities. Brokered deposits are generally considered a less stable source of funding than core deposits obtained through retail bank branches. Investors in brokered deposits are generally more sensitive to interest rates and will generally move funds from one depository institution to another based on small differences in interest rates offered on deposits.

Although Oriental expects to have continued access to credit from the foregoing sources of funds, there can be no assurance that such financing sources will continue to be available or will be available on favorable terms. In a period of financial disruption or if negative developments occur with respect to Oriental, the availability and cost of Oriental’s funding sources could be adversely affected. In that event, Oriental’s cost of funds may increase, thereby reducing its net interest income, or Oriental may need to dispose of a portion of its investment portfolio, which depending upon market conditions, could result in realizing a loss or experiencing other adverse accounting consequences upon any such dispositions. Oriental’s efforts to monitor and manage liquidity risk may not be successful to deal with dramatic or unanticipated changes in the global securities markets or other reductions in liquidity driven by Oriental or market-related events. In the event that such sources of funds are reduced or eliminated, and Oriental is not able to replace these on a cost-effective basis, Oriental may be forced to curtail or cease its loan origination business and treasury activities, which would have a material adverse effect on its operations and financial condition.

As of September 30, 2019, Oriental had approximately $961.8 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $140.9 million in investment securities that are not pledged as collateral, and $744.2 million in borrowing capacity at the FHLB-NY.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss from inadequate or failed internal processes, personnel and systems or from external events. All functions, products and services of Oriental are susceptible to operational risk.

Oriental faces ongoing and emerging risk and regulatory pressure related to the activities that surround the delivery of banking and financial products and services. Coupled with external influences such as the risk of natural disasters, market conditions, security risks, and legal risks, the potential for operational and reputational loss has increased. In order to mitigate and control operational risk, Oriental has developed, and continues to enhance, specific internal controls, policies and procedures that are designed to identify and manage operational risk at appropriate levels throughout the organization. The purpose of these policies and procedures is to provide reasonable assurance that Oriental’s business operations are functioning within established limits.

Oriental classifies operational risk into two major categories: business specific and corporate-wide affecting all business lines. For business specific risks, a risk assessment group works with the various business units to ensure consistency in policies, processes and assessments. With respect to corporate-wide risks, such as information security, business recovery, legal and compliance, Oriental has specialized groups, such as Information Security, Enterprise Risk Management, Corporate Compliance, Information Technology, Legal and Operations. These groups assist the lines of business in the development and implementation of risk management practices specific to the needs of the business groups. All these matters are reviewed and discussed in the executive Risk and Compliance Team. Oriental also has a Business Continuity Plan to address situations where its capacity to perform critical functions is affected. Under such circumstances, a Crisis Management Team is activated to restore such critical functions within established timeframes.

Oriental is subject to extensive United States federal and Puerto Rico regulations, and this regulatory scrutiny has been significantly increasing over the last several years. Oriental has established and continues to enhance procedures based on legal and regulatory requirements that are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Oriental has a corporate compliance function headed by a Chief Risk and Compliance Officer who reports to the Chief Executive Officer and supervises the BSA Officer and Regulatory Compliance Officer. The Chief Risk and Compliance Officer is responsible for the oversight of regulatory compliance and implementation of a company-wide compliance program, including the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance program.

141

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Concentration Risk

Substantially all of Oriental’s business activities and a significant portion of its credit exposure are concentrated in Puerto Rico. As a consequence, Oriental’s profitability and financial condition may be adversely affected by an extended economic slowdown, adverse political, fiscal or economic developments in Puerto Rico or the effects of a natural disaster, all of which could result in a reduction in loan originations, an increase in non-performing assets, an increase in foreclosure losses on mortgage loans, and a reduction in the value of its loans and loan servicing portfolio.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Oriental’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Oriental’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon such evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, Oriental’s disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance of effectiveness in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by Oriental in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within Oriental to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in Oriental’s periodic reports.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in Oriental’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Oriental’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART - II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Oriental and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. Oriental is vigorously contesting such claims. Based upon a review by legal counsel and the development of these matters to date, management is of the opinion that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, resulting from these claims will not have a material adverse effect on Oriental’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Oriental’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as described below. In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors included in Oriental’s annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by this report or other filings Oriental makes with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Oriental at this time or that Oriental currently deems immaterial may also adversely affect Oriental’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Oriental may fail to successfully consummate the Scotiabank Transaction.

While Oriental intends and expects to meet all of the conditions required to consummate the Scotiabank Transaction, there are certain closing conditions, which are beyond our control, required for the consummation of the Purchase Agreements. These factors include the receipt of regulatory approvals from the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCFI and the USVI Banking Board (the “Approvals”).

In determining whether to approve the Scotiabank Transaction, federal bank regulators will consider, among other factors, its effect on our competitors, our financial condition and our future prospects. The regulators also review current and projected capital ratios and levels, the competence, experience, and integrity of management and its record of compliance with laws and regulations, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served (including the acquiring institution’s record of compliance under the Community Reinvestment Act) and the effectiveness of the acquiring institution in combating money laundering activities. Such regulatory approvals may not be granted on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. There can be no assurance as to when or whether these regulatory approvals will be received, or the conditions associated with any approval.

Oriental may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Scotiabank Transaction.

The success of the Scotiabank Transaction will depend on, among other things, Oriental’s ability to realize anticipated cost savings and to integrate the assets and operations to be acquired in a manner that permits growth opportunities and does not materially disrupt Oriental’s existing customer relationships or result in decreased revenues resulting from any loss of customers. If Oriental is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Scotiabank Transaction may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Additionally, Oriental made assumptions and estimates concerning the fair value of assets and liabilities to be acquired in evaluating the Scotiabank Transaction and the purchase price. Actual values of these assets and liabilities could differ from Oriental’s assumptions and estimates, which could result in not achieving the anticipated benefits of the Scotiabank Transaction.

At Closing, BNS and Oriental will enter into a transition services agreement pursuant to which BNS will provide Oriental with services necessary to assist Oriental with the day-to-day operations of the acquired companies and their transition to our infrastructure, and to provide data for the integration of information, for a period of up to eighteen months. The Purchase Agreements contains customary indemnification rights for each of BNS and Oriental, including with respect to breaches of representations, warranties or covenants and certain other specified matters. Certain of the indemnification obligations of each party are subject to a minimum claim size threshold, an aggregate claim threshold, a cap on indemnification and other limitations on liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

There can be no assurance that the Scotiabank Transaction will have positive results, including results relating to: correctly assessing the asset quality of the assets acquired; the total cost of integration, including management attention and resources; the time required to complete the integration successfully; the amount of longer-term cost savings; being able to profitably deploy funds acquired in the transaction; or the overall performance of the combined business. Oriental’s future growth and profitability depends, in part, on the ability to successfully manage the combined operations. Integration of an acquired business can be complex and costly, sometimes including combining relevant accounting and data processing systems and management controls, as well as managing relevant relationships with employees, clients, suppliers and other business partners. Integration efforts could divert management attention and resources, which could adversely affect Oriental’s operations or results. The loss of key employees in connection with the Scotiabank Transaction could adversely affect our ability to successfully conduct the combined operations.

Greater than expected credit costs, markdowns and provisions for loan and lease losses concerning the assets to be acquired could adversely affect Oriental’s financial condition and results of operations in the future. There is no assurance that our integration efforts will not result in other unanticipated costs, including the diversion of personnel, or losses.

The Scotiabank Transaction may also result in business disruptions that cause us to lose customers or cause customers to move their accounts or business to competing financial institutions. It is possible that the integration process related to this acquisition could disrupt Oriental’s ongoing business or result in inconsistencies in customer service that could adversely affect Oriental’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees. Our inability to overcome these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
