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 “OFG”), 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 OFG’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 OFG’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, inflationary pressures or recessionary conditions, 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, as well as the ability to successfully implement any court-approved plan of adjustment;

•unforeseen or catastrophic events, including extreme weather events, other natural disasters, man-made disasters, pandemics, war or other international conflicts, or utility disruptions, which could cause a disruption in our operations or other adverse consequences for our business;

•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 in 2017 and earthquakes in 2020;

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

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

•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 magnitude and duration of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the United States, Puerto Rico, and/or global economy, financial market conditions and our business, results of operations and financial condition; and

•the impact of the actions taken by governmental authorities to try and contain the Covid-19 virus and its variants or address the impact of the virus on the United States and Puerto Rico economy, and the resulting effect of all of such items on our operations, liquidity and capital position, and on the financial condition of our borrowers and other customers.

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; risk of impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets; liabilities resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations; changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations; increased competition; OFG’s ability to grow its core businesses; decisions to downsize, sell or close units or otherwise change OFG’s business mix; and management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of OFG on a consolidated basis, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and has recorded or disclosed those material events or transactions as described within the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

New Accounting Updates Adopted in 2022

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to clarify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in this update reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the cash conversion model and the beneficial conversion feature model. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in-capital. In addition, this ASU improves disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. The ASU also revises the derivative scope exception guidance to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions driven by remote contingent events. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. FASB ASC 842 – In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05 to amend the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with practice under ASC Topic 840. Lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) The lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in ASC paragraphs 842-10-25-2 through 25-3; and (2) The lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. When a lease is classified as operating, the lessor does not recognize a net investment in the lease, does not derecognize the underlying asset, and, therefore, does not recognize a selling profit or loss. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

New Accounting Updated Not Yet Adopted

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01 to allow non-prepayable financial assets also to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedge. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of this ASU for any entity that has adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 for the corresponding period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, the effect of adopting the amendments related to basis adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. OFG will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective and the impact on our financial statements is not expected to be material.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 to address the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors in ASC 310-402 and amend the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancing and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt these amendments, including adoption in any interim period, provided that the amendments are adopted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes the interim period of adoption. In addition, entities are permitted to elect to early adopt the amendments related to TDR accounting and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to the vintage disclosures. OFG is currently evaluating the impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this standard.

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH

OFG has a contract with FNMA which requires collateral to guarantee the repurchase, if necessary, of loans sold with recourse. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG delivered as collateral cash amounting to approximately $175 thousand.

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 March 31, 2022 was $481.3 million (December 31, 2021 - $456.5 million). At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Money Market Investments

OFG considers as cash equivalents all money market instruments that are not pledged and that have maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, money market instruments included as part of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Investment securities as of March 31, 2022 include $200.4 million pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $199.7 million serve as collateral for public funds. Investment securities as of December 31, 2021 include $145.6 million pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $143.8 million serve as collateral for public funds.

The weighted average yield on debt securities available-for-sale is based on amortized cost and does not give effect to changes in fair value. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

Securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period of final contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, most securities held by OFG are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies that have a zero-credit loss assumption.

At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank’s international banking entities held short-term US Treasury 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 without the prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico (“OCFI”).

During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $24.0 million and $30.0 million amortized cost, respectively, at a yield of 2.37% and 2.22%, from its own originations.

There were no sales of securities during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The determination of nonaccrual or accrual status of PCD loans is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level.

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, those loans are included as non-performing loans but excluded from non-accrual loans.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, loans whose terms have been extended and which were classified as troubled-debt restructurings that were not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $123.4 million and $125.9 million, respectively, as they were performing under their new terms.

Modifications

OFG offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Concessions made to the original contractual terms of the loan typically consists of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to deterioration in the borrowers' financial condition. In these cases, the principal balance on the TDR had matured and/or was in default at the time of restructure. The amount of outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to commercial borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs amounted to $3.4 million and $3.7 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table presents the troubled-debt restructurings in all loan portfolios as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

TDRs disclosed above were not related to Covid-19 modifications. Section 4013 of CARES Act and the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)" provided banks an option to elect to not account for certain loan modifications related to Covid-19 as TDRs as long as the borrowers were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and at the time of implementation of the modification program, and the borrowers meet other applicable criteria. At March 31, 2022 there were $10.7 million (December 31, 2021 - $28.0 million) of loans deferred from the Covid-19 pandemic that were not classified as a TDR, which consists of VA insured mortgage loans.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, TDR mortgage loans include $44.4 million and $40.8 million, respectively, of government guaranteed loans (e.g. FHA/VA).

Loan modifications that are considered TDR loans completed during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the recorded investment on residential mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure amounted to $14.9 million and $16.9 million, respectively. OFG commences the foreclosure process on residential real estate loans when a borrower becomes 120 days delinquent. Puerto Rico and the USVI require the foreclosure to be processed through the respective territory’s courts. Foreclosure timelines vary according to local law and investor guidelines. Occasionally, foreclosures may be delayed due to, among other reasons, mandatory mediation, bankruptcy, court delays and title issues.

Credit Quality Indicators

OFG categorizes its loans into loan grades 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.

OFG uses the following definitions for loan grades:

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 loans.

NOTE 5 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

On January 1, 2020, OFG adopted the new accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio as well as an economic outlook over the life of the loan. Also included in the ACL are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in OFG’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. In its loss forecasting framework, OFG incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the amount of weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, views of internal as well as third-party economists and industry trends.

At March 31, 2022, OFG used an economic probability weighted scenario approach which consist of the baseline and moderate recession scenarios, giving more weight to the baseline scenario. In addition, the ACL at March 31, 2022 continues to include qualitative reserves for certain segments that OFG views as higher risk that may not be fully recognized through its quantitative models such as commercial loans concentrated in certain industries and consumer retail portfolios. There are still many unknowns including the duration of the impact of Covid-19 on the economy and the results of the government fiscal and monetary actions resulting from the effect of inflation. Also, geopolitical tension resulted from the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia will put more pressure on inflation due to disruption to oil, natural gas and other commodity markets.

As of March 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses increased by $1.1 million when compared to December 31, 2021. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 includes a provision of $4.0 million related to growth in loan balances, an increase of $4.2 million related to a commercial loan previously placed in non-accrual status, and a decrease of $5.7 million associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in the labor market of the island. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 included a $3.7 million release of Covid-19-related loan reserves and a $3.5 million provision for a commercial loan in workout prior to the pandemic.

The following tables present the activity in OFG’s allowance for credit losses by segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE 7 - SERVICING ASSETS

At March 31, 2022, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $49.4 million ($49.0 million — December 31, 2021).

The following table presents the changes in servicing rights measured using the fair value method for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Quarter ended March 31,
	2022		2021

Fair value at beginning of period	$	48,973	$	47,295
Servicing from mortgage securitization or asset transfers	1,119		1,420
Changes due to payments on loans	(1,499)		(1,507)
Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation model inputs or assumptions	853		703
Fair value at end of period	$	49,446	$	47,911

The following table presents key economic assumption ranges used in measuring the mortgage-related servicing asset fair value for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Constant prepayment rate	3.88% - 24.30%	4.50% - 40.50%
Discount rate	10.00% - 15.50%	10.00% - 15.50%

The sensitivity of the current fair value of servicing assets to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes in the above key assumptions were as follows:


	March 31, 2022
	(In thousands)
Mortgage-related servicing asset
Carrying value of mortgage servicing asset	$	49,446
Constant prepayment rate
Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change	$	(924)
Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change	$	(1,819)
Discount rate
Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change	$	(2,276)
Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change	$	(4,373)

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption.

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.

Servicing fee income is based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and is recorded as income when earned. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $5.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

NOTE 8 — DERIVATIVES

OFG’s overall interest rate risk-management strategy incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. Derivative instruments that are used as part of OFG’s interest rate risk-management strategy include interest rate swaps and caps.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amount of derivative contracts outstanding was $28.0 million and $28.5 million respectively. The gross fair value of derivative asset was $6 thousand and $1 thousand, respectively, and the gross fair value of derivatives liabilities were $191 thousand and $804 thousand, respectively. The impact of master netting agreements was not material. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, derivative and hedging activities were not material.

NOTE 9 — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had $86.1 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the banking segment and $2.0 million to the wealth management segment (refer to Note 23 – Business Segments for the definition of OFG’s reportable business segments). There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Relevant events and circumstances for evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting segment is less than its carrying amount may include macroeconomic conditions (such as 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, natural disasters, or similar events.

OFG performed its annual impairment review of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2021 using October 31, 2021 as the annual evaluation date and concluded that there was no impairment at December 31, 2021. There were no additional events that caused OFG to perform interim testing during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

The following table reflects the components of other intangible assets subject to amortization at March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Subordinated Capital Notes

In August 2003, the Statutory Trust II, a special purpose entity of OFG, was formed for the purpose of issuing trust redeemable preferred securities. In September 2003, $35.0 million of trust redeemable preferred securities were issued by the Statutory Trust II as part of a pooled underwriting transaction.

The proceeds from this issuance were used by the Statutory Trust II to purchase a like amount of a floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debenture issued by OFG with a par value of $36.1 million.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG redeemed of all outstanding $36.1 million subordinated capital notes before maturity, and as a result, it wrote off $405 thousand in unamortized issuance costs, included as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. OFG also recorded a gain on early debt extinguishment of $42 thousand included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Prior to redemption, such subordinated capital notes carried an interest rate of 3.23% based on 3-month LIBOR plus 295 basis points and were schedule to mature on September 17, 2033.

At December 31, 2021, the $35.0 million trust redeemable preferred securities were treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. Under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel III capital rules issued by the federal banking regulatory agencies in July 2013, bank holding companies are prohibited from including in their tier 1 capital hybrid debt and equity securities, including trust preferred securities, issued on or after May 19, 2010. Any such instruments issued before May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company, such as OFG, with total consolidated assets of less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, could continue to be included as tier 1 capital.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

Oriental is subject to the dispositions of the PR Code. For 2022, the PR Code imposed a maximum statutory corporate tax rate of 37.5%. OFG has operations in the U.S. through its wholly owned subsidiary OPC, a retirement plan administration based in Florida. In October 2017, OFG expanded its operations in the United States through the Bank’s wholly owned

subsidiary, OFG USA. In March 2019, OFG incorporated in Delaware OFG Ventures, a limited liability company, which will hold new investments; and, on December 31, 2019, OFG established new branches in USVI acquired as a result of the Scotiabank Acquisition. The United States subsidiaries are subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level, while the USVI branches are subject to the federal income taxes under a mirror system and a 10% surtax included in the maximum tax rate. OPC is subject to Florida state taxes, OFG USA is subject to North Carolina state taxes, and current investments in OFG Ventures are subject to state taxes in Missouri. In addition, during 2021, OFG incorporated in Grand Cayman, as a foreign wholly owned subsidiary, OFG Reinsurance. OFG Reinsurance is tax exempt in Grand Cayman.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG’s net deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance of $10.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively, amounted to $87.6 million and $99.1 million, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance of $420 thousand was mainly related to OFG holding company's operations. 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 dependent upon the generation of future income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the assessment of positive and negative evidence, the level of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax asset are deductible, and provisions of certain closing agreements, management believes it is more likely than not that OFG will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at March 31, 2022. 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.

OFG maintained an effective tax rate lower than the statutory rate for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 of 30.60% and 31.90%, respectively; the decrease is mainly related to discrete tax windfall on stock options recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The expected effective tax rate for the year 2022 is 32.40%.

OFG classifies unrecognized tax benefits in other liabilities. These gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if realized. At March 31, 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $815 thousand (December 31, 2021 - $798 thousand).

Income tax expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $16.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

NOTE 14 — REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Regulatory Capital Requirements

OFG (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 OFG’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, OFG 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.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG and the Bank are “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.

Additional Paid-in Capital

Additional paid-in capital represents contributed capital in excess of par value of common stock, net of the costs of issuance. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accumulated common stock issuance costs charged against additional paid-in capital amounted to $13.6 million.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank’s legal surplus amounted to $121.4 million and $117.7 million, respectively. The amount transferred to the legal surplus account is not available for the payment of dividends to shareholders.

Treasury Stock

In January 2022, OFG announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The shares of common stock repurchased are held by OFG as treasury shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG repurchased 1,219,132 shares for a total of $33.5 million at an average price of $27.46 per share. OFG did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase programs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.

At March 31, 2022 the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $100 million program is estimated at 2,497,051 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $66.5 million by $26.64 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at March 31, 2022).

NOTE 18 – GUARANTEES

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amount of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $29.4 million and $25.2 million, respectively.

OFG has a liability for residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse pursuant to GNMA’s and FNMA’s residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $118.7 million and $121.8 million, respectively.

The following table shows the changes in OFG’s liability for estimated losses from these credit recourse agreements, included in the consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	294	$	218
Net recoveries (charge-offs/terminations)	(100)		(23)
Balance at end of period	$	194	$	195

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 OFG is obligated to repurchase the loan.

If a borrower defaults, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, OFG is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third-party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum potential amount of future payments that OFG 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 quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, OFG repurchased $718 thousand and $980 thousand, respectively, in mortgage loans subject to credit resource. If a borrower defaults, OFG has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. OFG 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 March 31, 2022, OFG’s liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $194 thousand (December 31, 2021– $294 thousand).

When OFG sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. OFG’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 OFG to ensure that asset guideline qualifications are met. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, OFG may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG repurchased $7.8 million (March 31, 2021 – $12.6 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provision referred above. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had a $2.9 million and a $3.4 million, respectively, liability for the estimated credit losses related to these loans.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, OFG recognized $100 thousand and $22 thousand in gains, net of reserves, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $2 thousand in gains and $1.3 million in losses, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

At March 31, 2022, OFG serviced $5.8 billion (December 31, 2021 - $5.7 billion) in mortgage loans for third parties. 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 OFG to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. OFG 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, OFG must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. OFG 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 OFG would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by OFG under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $14.4 million (December 31, 2021 - $12.9 million). To the extent the mortgage loans underlying OFG’s servicing portfolio experience increased delinquencies, OFG 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

Commitments

In the normal course of business, OFG 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 OFG’s involvement in particular types of financial instruments.

OFG’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. OFG uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Credit-related financial instruments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021
	(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	1,349,603	$	1,365,273
Commercial letters of credit	26,068		48,196

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. OFG evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by OFG upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, is as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021
	(In thousands)
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	29,395	$	25,203
Loans sold with recourse	118,742		121,778

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are written conditional commitments issued by OFG 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 OFG upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures corresponding to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit amounted to $857 thousand and $1.0 million, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the statement of financial condition.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $23.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, primarily for the acquisition of equity securities. In addition, as we continue to transform OFG with a focus on simplification and building a culture of excellence and customer service, we continue to invest in technology. Some of our technology investments are table stakes and required to continuously upgrade our systems. Others require us to focus our technology on investments that drive our strategy, namely digital, data analytics, cloud migration, cyber security, and our sales and service capabilities. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $13.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively.

Contingencies

OFG and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. In the ordinary course of business, OFG and its subsidiaries are also subject to governmental and regulatory examinations. Certain subsidiaries of OFG, 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.

OFG seeks to resolve all arbitration, litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interests of OFG 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.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, OFG establishes an accrued liability when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a matter develops, OFG, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, OFG will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of expense. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this accrued liability amounted to $4.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively. OFG continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.

Subject to the accounting and disclosure framework under the provisions of ASC 450, it is the opinion of OFG’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 OFG. 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 OFG’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. OFG has

evaluated all arbitration, litigation and regulatory matters where the likelihood of a potential loss is deemed reasonably possible. OFG has determined that the estimate of the reasonably possible loss is not significant.

NOTE 21 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

OFG 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. OFG holds one security categorized as other debt that is classified as Level 3. The estimated fair value of the other debt security is determined by using an adjusted third-party model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The assumptions are highly uncertain and include primarily market discount rates and current spread. The assumptions used are drawn from similar securities that are actively traded in the market and have similar risk characteristics. The valuation is performed on a quarterly basis.

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 (or its fallback benchmark when applicable), and also applying yield curves that account for the industry sector and the credit rating of the counterparty and/or OFG. 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.

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.

Foreclosed real estate

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 opinion or an internal valuation. These foreclosed assets are classified as Level 3 given certain internal adjustments that may be made to external appraisals.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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.

Information about Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs

Other debt security available for sale – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of one of OFG’s other debt securities is a discounted cash flow methodology (DCF). DCF is a valuation method that uses the concept of the time value of money. The methodology used the future cash flows discounted through a yield to obtain a net present value. Assumptions applied in the model are obtained from Moody’s Default Trends.

Servicing assets – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of OFG’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 OFG.

Table of Contents

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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 OFG’s financial instruments at March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of significant financial instruments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

•Cash and cash equivalents (including money market investments and time deposits with other banks), restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, accounts receivable and other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities 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, 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. Equity securities do not have readily available fair values and are measured at cost, less any impairment. The estimated fair value of the convertible note is determined by using an adjusted third-party cash flow valuation model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The assumptions used which are highly uncertain and require a high degree of judgment, include primarily market discount rates, current spreads, duration, leverage, default, and loss rates. The assumptions used are drawn from a wide array of data sources, including the performance of the collateral underlying each deal. The valuation, which is obtained at least on a quarterly basis, is analyzed and its assumptions are evaluated and incorporated in either an internal-based valuation model, when deemed necessary, or compared to counterparties’ prices and agreed by management.

•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 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.

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 ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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 OFG’s 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, an IRA 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, recordkeeping of transactions, and investment advisory services provided to a registered investment company. 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 ASC 606.

Mortgage Banking Activities

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

NOTE 23 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

OFG 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 OFG’s organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of the products were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. OFG 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. OFG’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 OFG’s own portfolio. As part of its mortgage banking activities, OFG 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, OFG Reinsurance and OPC. The core operations of this segment are financial planning, money management and investment banking, brokerage services, investment advisory services, insurance, corporate and individual trust and retirement services, as well as retirement plan administration services.

The Treasury segment encompasses all of OFG’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

Please read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item I, “Financial Statements” of this report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors,” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), for discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. We have omitted discussion of 2020 results where it would be redundant to the discussion previously included in Item 2 of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Other factors not identified above, including those described under the headings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 may also cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements.

OFG is a publicly-owned financial holding company that provides wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer and mortgage lending, auto loans and leasing, financial planning, insurance sales, money management and investment banking and brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. OFG operates through three major business segments: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury, and distinguishes itself based on quality service. OFG conducts its business through its main office in San Juan, Puerto Rico, forty nine branches in Puerto Rico and two branches in the U.S. Virgin Islands (the “USVI”). OFG has three subsidiaries with operations in Puerto Rico: the Bank, Oriental Financial Services and Oriental Insurance; three subsidiaries in the United States, OPC, OFG USA and OFG Ventures; and one subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, OFG Reinsurance. OFG’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, continuously improving our already effective asset-liability management, growing non-interest revenue from banking and financial services, and achieving greater operating efficiencies.

OFG’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, reinsurance 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, OFG’s commitment is to continue producing a balanced and growing revenue stream.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Capital Actions

In January 2022, OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved the increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend by 25%, to $0.15 per common share from $0.12 per share, beginning on the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Board of Directors also approved a new stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of its common stock in the open market, which OFG expects to complete during the 2022 fiscal year. At March 31, 2022, OFG has repurchased 1.2 million shares of common stock for $33.5 million.

Covid-19 Pandemic and Economic Conditions

Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our communities and the way we do business, as well as, economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Among other things, interest rates declined, unemployment increased and economic output slowed dramatically during 2020.

Within the last year, as restrictions related to the pandemic eased in the United States, employment increased and pent-up demand was released, which together with COVID-19 lockdowns in foreign jurisdictions created global supply chain issues and shortages of goods, which in turn has triggered price inflation. In an effort to address inflation, the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") has slowed monetary accommodation and on March 16, 2022 increased the federal funds rate 25 bps, in the first of what is expected to be a series of rate increases during 2022.

Adding to economic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures are military actions taken by Russia against Ukraine commencing in February 2022, which have added stress to existing supply chain concerns and placed upward pressure on oil and natural gas prices.

The macroeconomic outlook for Puerto Rico continues to show strength. Unemployment, employment participation, manufacturing, residential home values are all moving in the right direction. Our commercial clients are experiencing a higher demand for their products and services. Consumer demand also remains strong, and at long last, Puerto Rico has exited bankruptcy. Nevertheless, any recovery of the Puerto Rican economy could be adversely impacted by macroeconomic developments within the United States and across the globe. The global macroeconomic outlook continues to remain uncertain and at this time, OFG cannot reasonably estimate the term or intensity of any possible adverse impact on our financial position, operations or liquidity, resulting from economic disruption and uncertainty related to COVID-19 variants, trade and supply chain disruption, continuing inflationary pressures, ongoing military actions against Ukraine, and the uncertainty of the timing and extent of potential actions that might be taken by the FRB. However, the high levels of reconstruction and stimulus funds are serving as a good cushion to dampen the negative effects.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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 2021 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 2021 Form 10-K, we identified the Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans collectively evaluated for impairment as a critical accounting policy and estimate, because it involves significant estimation uncertainty that has or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. There have been no material changes in the methods used to formulate these critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG's core business demonstrated strong momentum with solid loan and deposit growth, net interest margin (“NIM”) expansion, and lower provision. Total assets reached $10.2 billion, expenses remained in line, and OFG repurchased $33.5 million of shares of common stock as part of our $100 million buyback program. The Puerto Rico economic environment continues to trend positively, while OFG continues to focus on improving the customer experience and growing together with our clients and the communities we serve. During the quarter, for example, OFG introduced fully proprietary digital processes to apply for consumer loans and to open and contribute into our IRA fund.

Earnings Per Share diluted was $0.76 compared to $0.66 in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.56 in the first quarter of 2021. Total core revenues were $136.4 million compared to $141.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $127.7 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Net Interest Income was $105.2 million compared to $104.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $98.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. NIM expanded to 4.47% from 4.18% in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to increased volume of loans and investments.

Interest Income totaled $112.9 million compared to $112.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $111.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, interest income benefited from higher yields on higher average balances of loans and investment securities and higher average yields on cash, which was offset by two fewer days that reduced interest income by $1.7 million.

Total Interest Expense of $7.8 million compared to $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 12.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, interest expense reflected lower average balances and costs of deposits and borrowings, partially offset by $0.4 million to expense unamortized issuance costs as a result of the redemption of $36.1 million in 3.23% variable rate subordinated notes.

Banking and Financial Service Revenues was $31.2 million compared to $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $36.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, which included $4.3 million in annual insurance commissions. These revenues reflected higher levels of banking service, mortgage banking, and wealth management revenues compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Pre-Provision Net Revenues totaled $55.6 million compared to $55.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $50.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Provision for credit losses of $1.6 million compared to $7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. The provision for credit losses included a $4.0 million increase related to the growth of loan balances and a $4.2 million increase for a commercial loan previously placed in non-accrual, partially offset by a $5.7 million reduction in the qualitative adjustment due to improved economic conditions. The fourth quarter of 2021 included a provision of $9.7 million related to transferring certain past due loans to held for sale.

Credit Quality: Net charge off rate and early and total delinquency rates fell to 0.04%, 1.97% and 3.17%, respectively, compared to the previous and year ago quarters. The first quarter of 2022 net charge offs included a $2.8 million recovery from an acquired PCD loan and a $1.1 million recovery as part of the final settlement of the non-performing mortgage loans sale contracted for in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-Interest Expenses totaled $81.2 million compared to $86.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $77.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. The $5.3 million reduction from the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily reflected lower legal reserve provisions ($2.4 million) and lower combination of other items (totaling $2.1 million), including operational losses, technology related expenses, and training costs.

Loans Held for Investment were $6.55 billion compared to $6.40 billion at December 31, 2021 and $6.59 billion at March 31, 2021. Loans grew $145.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting increases in commercial loans (net of PPP forgiveness) as well as increases in consumer and auto loans.

New Loan Originations of $623.2 million compared to $632.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $527.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, which included $126.3 million of PPP loans. The first quarter of 2022 reflected continued, high levels of auto lending, commercial lending in Puerto Rico and US, and increased demand for consumer lending.

Customer Deposits totaled $8.97 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to $8.59 billion at December 31, 2021 and $8.72 billion at March 31, 2021. Core deposits grew $375.1 million from December 31, 2021, reflecting increases in commercial and retail accounts.

Capital: CET1 ratio was 13.24% compared to 13.77% at December 31, 2021 and 13.56% at March 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share was $18.90 compared to $19.08 at December 31, 2021 and $17.39 at March 31, 2021. The decline in CET1 and tangible book value per share from December 31, 2021 reflected the repurchase of 1.2 million shares of common stock and reduction in other comprehensive income, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a function of the difference between rates earned on OFG’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). OFG constantly monitors the composition and re-pricing of its assets and liabilities to maintain its net interest income at adequate levels.

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Net interest income of $105.2 million increased $7.0 million from $98.2 million. Tax equivalent basis net interest income of $107.7 million increased $7.3 million, or 7.3%, from $100.4 million.

Interest rate spread increased 24 basis points to 4.45% from 4.21% and net interest margin increased 21 basis points to 4.47% from 4.26%. This increase reflects a decrease of 25 basis point in the total average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income was positively impacted by:

•Lower interest expense by $5.0 million, reflecting both a reduced cost and lower average balances of total deposits and borrowings, partially offset by a $405 thousand write off unamortized issuance costs related to the early redemption of $36.1 million variable rate subordinated capital notes during the quarter.

•An increase of $2.3 million in interest income from investments securities related to purchases of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity mortgage backed securities during 2022 and 2021.

Net interest income was negatively impacted by a decrease in interest income from loans of $0.6 million, reflecting a decrease of $4.3 million mostly in commercial and mortgage loan portfolios purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”), offset by higher interest income of $3.7 million in non-PCD auto, commercial and consumer loans.

Non-Interest Income

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

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

OFG recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $31.6 million, compared to $30.4 million, an increase of 3.9%, or $1.2 million. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to:

•An increase of $1.1 million in banking service revenues, as a result of an increase of $370 thousand in servicing and prepayment loan fees, $213 thousand in electronic banking fees from transaction volumes, $188 thousand in credit life commissions, $183 thousand in checking account fees, and $88 thousand in international fees;

•An increase of $469 thousand in wealth management revenue due to the new reinsurance business income of $803 thousand, partially offset by a decrease in broker-dealer revenues of $235 thousand. Broker-dealer revenues

decreased due to lower income from equity and mutual fund retailer fees by $461 thousand and higher advisory and trailer fees by $242 thousand; and

•An increase of $209 thousand in mortgage-banking activities due to lower losses on repurchase loans and other mortgage banking activities by $1.4 million, offset by lower gains on loans sold by $1.2 million due to decrease in sales.

The increases mentioned above were partially offset by a $592 thousand decrease in other non-interest income, primarily related to the effect in the prior year quarter of a recovery of $610 thousand on a receivable previously written-off.

Non-Interest Expenses

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Non-interest expense was $81.2 million, representing an increase of 4.5%, or $3.5 million, compared to $77.7 million.

The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to:

•Increase in compensation and employee benefits by $2.2 million, mainly due to a one-time $1.3 million pandemic employee tax credit in prior year quarter, $1.5 million higher salary expenses associated with an increase in minimum hourly wages during the third quarter of 2021 and annual salary increase during the current quarter. These increases were offset by a $825 thousand decrease in commissions and incentives mainly due to a change in payout structure;

•Increase in electronic banking charges by $1.6 million driven by increases in merchant fees and debit and credit card billing fees due to higher transaction volumes in the current quarter;

•Increase in other non-interest expense by $1.4 million, mainly reflecting higher claims and settlements by $873 thousand due to the reversal of $1.2 million reserve in the prior year quarter as a result of a favorable arbitration award, and $568 thousand higher operational losses; and

•Increase in professional and service fees by $885 thousand due to higher consulting, outsourcing and legal fees.

The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by:

•Improvements in foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets income by $1.4 million reflecting an increase of $924 thousand in gains on sales of other repossessed assets and $559 thousand in net gain on sale of foreclosed real estate; and

•Decrease in occupancy, equipment and infrastructure expenses by $1.2 million reflecting lower rent, building maintenance and security guard expenses related to branch consolidations during 2021 and 2022.

The efficiency ratio was 59.50% and improved from 60.84%. The efficiency ratio measures how much of OFG’s revenues is used to pay operating expenses. OFG 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 adjusted efficiency ratio computation for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $405 thousand and $955 thousand, respectively.

Provision for Credit Losses

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Based on an analysis of the credit quality and the composition of OFG’s loan portfolio, management determined that the provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was adequate to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level to provide for expected credit losses based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks.

Provision for credit losses decreased $4.8 million from $6.3 million to $1.6 million. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 includes a provision of $4.0 million related to growth in loan balances, an increase of $4.2 million related to a commercial loan previously placed in non-accrual status, and a decrease of $5.7 million associated with qualitative adjustments due to improved macroeconomic conditions. The provision for credit losses for prior year quarter included a $3.7 million release of Covid-19 related loan reserves and a $3.5 million provision for a commercial loan in workout prior to the pandemic.

Income Taxes

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

OFG’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 30.6% in 2022 compared to 31.9% in 2021. The decrease in ETR is mainly related to a discrete income tax windfall for stocks vested during the quarter.

Business Segments

OFG 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 OFG’s organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of its services were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. OFG 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. OFG’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 ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Banking

OFG’s banking segment net income before taxes increased by $8.3 million from $39.1 million to $47.4 million, mainly reflecting:

•Lower interest expense by $4.6 million from both, reduced costs and lower average balances of core deposits;

•Decrease in provision for credit losses by $4.9 million. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2021 included a $3.5 million provision for a commercial loan in workout prior to the pandemic; and

•An increase of $677 thousand in non-interest income, mainly from a $1.1 million increase in banking service revenues on servicing and other loan fees, electronic banking fees, credit life commissions, checking accounts, and international fees; $209 thousand increase in mortgage-banking activities due to lower losses on repurchased loans and other mortgage banking activities, partially offset by lower gains on loans sold due to a decrease in sales; and a $592 thousand decrease in other non-interest income, primarily related to the effect in prior year quarter of receivable recoveries previously written-off.

The net income before taxes was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses by $2.0 million, mainly due to a one-time $1.3 million pandemic employee tax credit in the prior year quarter, $1.5 million higher salary expenses associated with an increase in minimum hourly wages during the third quarter of 2021 and annual salary increase during the current quarter. These increases were offset by a $825 thousand decrease in commissions and incentives mainly due to a change in payout structure.

Wealth Management

Wealth management segment revenue consists of commissions and fees from fiduciary activities, and securities brokerage and insurance activities. Net income before taxes from this segment decreased by $1.3 million due to higher non-interest expense by $1.8 million, mainly reflecting higher claims and settlements by $873 thousand due to the reversal of $1.2 million reserve in the prior year quarter as a result of a claim settled in favor of OFG, higher consulting and advisory expenses by $245 thousand and higher compensation and employee benefits by $201 thousand. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in non-interest income of $475 thousand, mainly due to new reinsurance business income of $803 thousand and lower broker-dealer revenues by $235 thousand.

Treasury

Treasury segment net income before taxes increased by $2.5 million, mainly reflecting:

•An increase in interest income by $1.7 million related to the purchases of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity mortgage backed securities during 2022 and 2021; and

•Lower interest expense by $419 thousand, reflecting the cancellation of $33.1 million of FHLB advances during 2021 and reduced costs and lower average balances of brokered deposits.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets Owned

At March 31, 2022, OFG’s total assets amounted to $10.190 billion, for an increase of $290.4 million, when compared to $9.900 billion at December 31, 2021.

The investment portfolio increased by $362.9 million, or 40.5%, primarily related to the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 2022 amounting to $398.9 million. OFG’s strategy is to invest its liquidity in mortgage-backed securities and designate them as available for sale or held-to-maturity after taking into account the bond’s characteristics with respect to yield and term and the current market environment.

OFG’s loan portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, commercial loans secured by real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans, and auto loans and leases. At March 31, 2022, OFG’s net loan portfolio increased by $119.8 million, or 1.9%, reflecting increases in commercial, consumer and auto loans, offset by a decrease in mortgage loans, SBA PPP loans forgiven during the quarter of $33.2 million and the sale of $21.9 million of past due mortgage loans held for sale.

Cash and due from banks of $1.850 billion decreased by $164.6 million, reflecting cash used to purchase agency mortgage-backed securities, disbursements for loans originated during the quarter, and the redemption of $36.1 million in 3.23% variable rate subordinated notes, partially offset by an increase in commercial and government-related deposits.

Financial Assets Managed

OFG’s financial assets include those managed by OFG’s trust division, retirement plan administration subsidiary, and assets gathered by its broker-dealer and insurance subsidiaries. OFG’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 manages private retirement plans. At March 31, 2022, the total assets managed by OFG’s trust division and retirement plan administration subsidiary amounted to $3.608 billion, compared to $3.759 billion at December 31, 2021. OFG’s broker-dealer subsidiary 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 March 31, 2022, total assets gathered by the broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries from their customers’ investment accounts amounted to $2.312 billion, compared to $2.466 billion at December 31, 2021. Changes in trust and broker-dealer related assets primarily reflect changes in portfolio balances and differences in market values.

Goodwill

OFG’s goodwill 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, OFG determines that the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired. OFG completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31 of each year. OFG 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.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had $86.1 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the banking segment and $2.0 million to the wealth management segment. Please refer to Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to our consolidated financial statements for more information on the annual goodwill impairment test.

OFG’s loan portfolio is composed of mortgage, commercial, consumer, and auto loans. As shown in Table 5 above, total loans, net, amounted to $6.449 billion at March 31, 2022 and $6.329 billion at December 31, 2021. OFG’s loans held-for-investment portfolio composition and trends were as follows:

•Commercial loan portfolio amounted to $2.500 billion (38.2% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $2.379 billion (37.2% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021.

Commercial production, excluding PPP loans, increased 120.7%, or $155.3 million from $128.7 million in prior year quarter to $283.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2021, OFG originated $126.3 million of PPP loans. There were no originations of PPP loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as the program concluded in 2021.

•Mortgage loan portfolio amounted to $1.849 billion (28.2% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $1.907 billion (29.8% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021.

Mortgage loan production totaled $63.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 which represents a decrease of 33.4% from $95.9 million in prior year quarter. Mortgage loans included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program amounting to $9.7 million and $14.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

•Consumer loan portfolio amounted to $455.8 million (7.0% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $409.7 million (6.4% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021.

Credit Risk Management

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, OFG adopted the new accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of future expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets.

Tables 7 through 9 set forth an analysis of activity in the allowance for credit losses and present selected credit loss statistics for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, Table 5 sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio.

Please refer to the "Provision for Credit Losses" and "Critical Accounting Estimates" sections in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and Note 7 – Allowance for Credit Losses of this report for a more detailed analysis of provisions and allowance for credit losses.

Non-performing Assets

OFG’s non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate (see Tables 10 and 12). At March 31, 2022, OFG had $86.8 million of non-accrual loans, including $11.2 million PCD loans, compared to $101.9 million at December 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022, OFG’s non-performing assets decreased by 10.6% to $115.3 million (1.13% of total assets) from $129.0 million (1.30% of total assets) at December 31, 2021. Foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets amounting to $15.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022, increased from $15.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021, recorded at fair value. OFG does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses. At March 31, 2022, the allowance coverage ratio to non-performing loans was 161.3% (139.2% at December 31, 2021).

Upon adoption of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology, OFG elected to maintain pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and will continue to account for these pools as a unit of account. As such, for PCD loans the determination of nonaccrual or accrual status is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level. Upon adoption of CECL, the allowance for credit losses was determined for each pool and added to the pool’s carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis. The difference between the unpaid principal balance of the pool and the new amortized cost basis is the non-credit premium or discount which will be amortized interest income over the remaining life of the pool. On a quarterly basis, management will monitor the composition and behavior of the pools to assess the ability for cash flow estimation and timing. If based on the analysis performed the pool is classified as non-accrual, the accretion/amortization of the non-credit (discount) premium will cease.

OFG 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, OFG has never been active in negative amortization loans or adjustable rate mortgage loans, including those with teaser rates.

The following items comprise non-performing loans held for investment, including Non-PCD and PCDs:

Commercial loans - At March 31, 2022, OFG’s non-performing commercial loans amounted to $45.8 million (47.0% of OFG’s non-performing loans), an 8.7% decrease from $50.1 million at December 31, 2021 (44.8% of OFG’s non-

performing loans). Non-PCD 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.

Mortgage loans - At March 31, 2022, OFG’s non-performing mortgage loans totaled $37.1 million (38.1% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 6.7% decrease from $39.7 million (35.5% of OFG’s non-performing loans) at December 31, 2021. Non-PCD 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.

Consumer loans - At March 31, 2022, OFG’s non-performing consumer loans amounted to $2.0 million (2.1% of OFG’s non-performing loans), an 11.9% decrease from $2.3 million at December 31, 2021 (2.1% of OFG’s non-performing loans). Non-PCD 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.

Auto and leasing loans - At March 31, 2022, OFG’s non-performing auto and leasing loans amounted to $12.5 million (12.8% of OFG’s total non-performing loans), a decrease of 37.0% from $19.8 million at December 31, 2021 (17.6% of OFG’s total non-performing loans). Non-PCD auto and leasing loans 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.

OFG has two mortgage loan modification programs. These are the Loss Mitigation Program and the Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan Program. Both programs are intended to help responsible homeowners to remain in their homes and avoid foreclosure, while also reducing OFG’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 OFG. The program offers diversified alternatives such as regular or reduced payment plans, payment moratorium, mortgage loan modification, partial claims (only FHA), short sale, and deed in lieu of foreclosure.

The Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan Program is for non-conforming mortgages, including balloon payment, interest only/interest first, variable interest rate, adjustable interest rate and other qualified loans. Non-conforming 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 OFG’s current credit and underwriting guidelines. OFG 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 our 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 OFG grants a concession for legal or economic reasons due to the debtor’s financial difficulties.

Liabilities and Funding Sources

As shown in Table 13 above, at March 31, 2022, OFG’s total liabilities were $9.150 billion, 3.6% more than the $8.831 billion reported at December 31, 2021. Deposits and borrowings, OFG’s funding sources, amounted to $9.006 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to $8.668 billion at December 31, 2021. Deposits, excluding accrued interest payable, increased 4.4% mainly from higher commercial and retail deposits by $417.6 million, offset by a decrease of $42.5 million in time deposits from maturities, with the majority of them transferred into demand deposit and savings accounts.

As of March 31, 2022 borrowings consist of FHLB-NY advances amounting to $28.0 million. Borrowings decreased by $36.5 million, when compared to $64.6 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting the redemption during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of all $36.1 million variable rate subordinated capital notes before maturity.

Stockholders’ Equity

At March 31, 2022, OFG’s total stockholders’ equity was $1.040 billion, a 3% decrease when compared to $1.069 billion at December 31, 2021. This reduction in stockholders’ equity reflects decreases (i) in treasury stock of $30.1 million and additional paid-in capital of $3.3 million, from $33.5 million in repurchases of common stock as part of the $100 million buyback program adopted during the first quarter of 2022; and (ii) in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $25.8 million from changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $26.4 million and legal surplus of $3.7 million, mainly due to $37.5 million in net income, partially offset by $7.4 million common stock dividends issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Regulatory Capital

OFG 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 OFG 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 March 31, 2022, the capital ratios of OFG and the Bank continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.

On January 1, 2020, the Company implemented CECL using the modified retrospective approach, with an impact to capital of $25.5 million, net of its corresponding deferred tax effect. On March 27, 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, U.S. banking regulators issued an interim final rule that the Company adopted to delay for two years the initial adoption impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during 2020 and 2021 (i.e., a five-year transition period). During the two-year delay, OFG added back to common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital 100% of the initial adoption impact of CECL plus 25% of the cumulative quarterly changes in the allowance for credit losses (i.e., quarterly transitional amounts). After two years, starting on January 1, 2022, the quarterly transitional amounts along with the initial adoption impact of CECL will be phased out of CET1 capital over a three-year period.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG redeemed all of its $36.1 million subordinated capital notes and, as a result, OFG's tier 1 capital was reduced by the corresponding $35.0 million qualified trust preferred securities, which were previously included in tier 1 capital.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are calculated based on the Basel III capital rules related to the measurement of capital, risk-weighted assets and average assets.

The following are OFG’s consolidated capital ratios under the Basel III capital rules at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

From December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022, tangible common equity to tangible total assets decreased from 9.69% to 9.14%, leverage capital ratio decreased from 9.69% to 9.54%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased from 14.27% to 13.24%, total risk-based capital ratio decreased from 15.52% to 14.49% and common equity tier 1 capital ratio decreased from 13.77% to 13.24%. The decreases in capital ratios were mainly due to common stock repurchases of $33.5 million, dividends of $7.4 million issued, and lower CECL transition provision by $6.9 million from the expiration of the Covid-19 deferral period, partially offset by net income for the quarter. Also, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG completed the redemption and cancellation of subordinated capital notes, further reducing tier 1 capital and total risk based capital by $35.0 million.

The following table presents a reconciliation of OFG’s total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

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 OFG 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, OFG 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.

In January 2022, the Company announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a new stock repurchase program to purchase an additional $100 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market, in effect at March 31, 2022. The shares of common stock repurchased are to be held by OFG as treasury shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG repurchased 1,219,132 shares under this program for a total of $33.5 million, at an average price of $27.46 per share. OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program. There were no stock repurchases by OFG during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022, the number of shares that may yet be purchased under such program is estimated at 2,497,051 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $66.5 million by $26.64 (closing price of OFG's common stock at March 31, 2022).

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related data presented herein (except for certain non-GAAP measures as previously indicated) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services since such prices are affected by inflation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Background

OFG’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, the executive Risk and Compliance Team, the executive Credit Risk Team, and the executive Asset/Liability Team (“ALT”). OFG 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 OFG’s business activities are susceptible to risk. Consequently, risk identification and monitoring are essential to risk management. As more fully discussed below, OFG’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. OFG evaluates market risk together with interest rate risk. OFG’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 OFG complies with the guidelines established by policies approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the management of this risk to the ALT which is composed of certain executive officers from the business, treasury and finance areas. One of ALT’s primary goals is to ensure that the market risk assumed by OFG is within the parameters established in such policies.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to decline in earnings or capital due to changes in interest rates. To actively monitor the interest rate risk, the Board of Directors has created the ALT whose principal responsibilities consist in overseeing the management of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to balance its risk exposures. In executing its responsibilities, ALT considers different methods to enhance profitability while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risks by implementing investment, pricing and financial strategies that helps managing OFG vulnerability to changes in interest rates.

On a quarterly basis, OFG performs 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 upward and downward interest rate movements, achieved during a twelve-month period. Market scenarios that include instantaneous and parallel interest rate movements as well as other scenarios with gradual interest rate ramps, speed of interest rate changes, and changes in the slope of the yield curve are also modeled. In addition to the change in interest rates, the results of the analysis could be affected by prepayments, caps, and floors. Management exercises its best judgment in formulating assumptions regarding events that management can influence such as non-maturity deposits repricing, as well as events outside management’s control such as customer behavior on loans and deposits activity and the effects that competition has on both lending and deposits pricing. These assumptions are subjective and, as a result, net interest income simulation results will differ from actual results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.

OFG uses a software application to project future movements in OFG’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.

The following table presents the results of the simulations for the most likely scenarios at March 31, 2022. The left of the table presents an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in net interest income resulting from an instantaneous and parallel shift in the yield curve over a 12-month horizon. The base case scenario assumes that the current interest rate environment is held constant throughout the forecast period for a static balance sheet and the instantaneous shocks are performed against that yield curve. The right side of the table, presents an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in net interest income resulting from parallel gradual interest rates ramps over a 12-month horizon.


	Net Interest Income Risk (one-year projection)
	Instantaneous Changes in Interest Rates				Gradual Changes in Interest Rates
	Amount Change		Percent Change		Amount Change		Percent Change
Change in interest rate	(Dollars in thousands)
+ 50 Basis points	$	15,445	3.55	%	$	7,651	1.76	%
+ 100 Basis points	$	30,797	7.08	%	$	15,231	3.50	%
+ 200 Basis points	$	61,950	14.25	%	$	30,498	7.02	%
- 50 Basis points	$	(12,245)	-2.82	%	$	(6,841)	-1.57	%

The scenarios above are both instantaneous shocks and gradual interest rate ramps that assume balance sheet management will mirror the base case. Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there can be no assurance that our assets and liabilities would perform as anticipated. Additionally, a change in the U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to net interest income than indicated above. OFG strategic management of the balance sheet would be adjusted to accommodate these movements. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methods of analysis presented above. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag changes in market rates. Also, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. ALT strategies consider all these factors as part of the monitoring of the exposure to interest rate risk.

Future net interest income could be affected by OFG’s investments in callable securities, prepayment risk related to mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, 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 OFG’s assets and liabilities, OFG has executed, in the past, certain transactions which include extending the maturity and the re-pricing frequency of the liabilities to longer terms and using 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 still outstanding as of March 31, 2022.

OFG 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. OFG’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 OFG’s gains and losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to the forecasted cash flows of these hedged assets and

liabilities. OFG 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 OFG’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 OFG’s interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps 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 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 OFG the right to enter into interest rate swaps and cap and floor agreements with the writer of the option.

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

Interest rate swaps and borrowings — OFG 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 OFG’s interest payments on these borrowings. As of March 31, 2022, OFG had $28.0 million in interest rate swaps at an average rate of 2.42% designated as cash flow hedges for $28.0 million in advances from the FHLB-NY that reprice or are being rolled over on a monthly basis. A derivative liability of $191 thousand was recognized at March 31, 2022 related to the valuation of these swaps.

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 OFG is its lending activities. In Puerto Rico, OFG’s principal market, recent macroeconomic conditions continue to show strength, however, as was demonstrated by the January 2020 earthquakes and hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Puerto Rico is susceptible to natural disasters, which can have a disproportionate impact because of the logistical difficulties of bringing relief to an island far from the United States mainland. The effects of climate change may further increase the risk of natural disasters in the future and the correlative risk that the physical impact of such events could adversely affect our customers, operations, and business. 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 OFG’s loans may suffer significant damages.

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

OFG may also encounter risk of default in relation to its securities portfolio. The securities held by OFG are mostly 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.

OFG’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 OFG’s credit risk goals and objectives. Those goals and objectives are set forth in OFG’s Credit Policy as approved by the Board.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of OFG 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. OFG’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.

OFG’s business requires continuous access to various funding sources. While OFG is able to fund its operations through deposits as well as through advances from the FHLB-NY and other alternative sources, OFG’s business may at times need to rely upon other external wholesale funding sources. OFG has selectively reduced its use of certain wholesale funding

sources, such as repurchase agreements, subordinated notes and brokered deposits. As of March 31, 2022, OFG had $11.4 million in brokered deposits.

Brokered deposits are typically offered through an intermediary to small retail investors. OFG’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, OFG’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. As a result of the increase in core deposits, OFG has been limiting the offering of brokered deposits.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, bear variable interest rate and may require payment of a fee. Since the commitments may expire unexercised, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. OFG evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by OFG upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Loan commitments, which represent unused lines of credit, decreased to $1.350 billion at March 31, 2022 ($290.7 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.059 billion with maturity over one year) compared to $1.365 billion at December 31, 2021 ($280.6 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.085 billion with maturity over one year), while letters of credit provided to customers increased to $29.4 million compared to $25.2 million at December 31, 2021. Loans sold with recourse at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $118.7 million and $121.8 million, respectively.

In the case of loans serviced by OFG for FNMA, OFG is required to advance to the owners the payment of principal and interest on a scheduled basis for six months even when such payment was not collected from the borrower due to payment forbearance granted or payment delinquency. Such amounts advanced are recorded as a receivable by OFG and are expected to be collected from the borrower and/or government agency (FNMA).

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $23.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, primarily for the acquisition of other investments. These cash requirements are expected to be satisfied with OFG’s unrestricted cash. In addition, as we continue to transform OFG with a focus on simplification and building a culture of excellence and customer service, we continue to invest in technology. Some of our technology investments are table stakes and required to continuously upgrade our systems. Others require us to focus our technology on investments that drive our strategy, namely digital, data analytics, cloud migration, cyber security, and our sales and service capabilities. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $13.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively, which are expected to be satisfied with OFG’s unrestricted cash.

Our liquidity risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market stress that began in the first quarter of 2020 from the Covid-19 pandemic. Requests for loan payment deferrals rose in the second quarter of 2020. Nevertheless, most payment deferrals ended in the third quarter of 2020, with only 0.2% of total loans remaining at March 31, 2022 compared to 30% at June 30, 2020. Even though OFG’s liquidity was impacted by loan principal and interest payment deferrals that were granted for certain customers due to Covid-19, liquidity has been growing from the federal stimulus programs Puerto Rico is receiving following 2017’s Hurricane Maria, the early 2020 earthquakes, and the Covid-19 pandemic. However, liquidity can be further affected by a number of factors such as, counterparty willingness or ability to extend credit, regulatory actions and customer preferences, some of which are beyond our control. With the current economic uncertainty resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation and the war in Ukraine, we continue monitoring our liquidity position, specifically cash on hand to meet customer demands.

Although OFG 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 OFG, the availability and cost of OFG’s funding sources could be adversely affected. In that event, OFG’s cost of funds may increase, thereby reducing its net interest income, or OFG 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. OFG’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 OFG or market-related events. In the event that such sources of funds are reduced or eliminated and OFG is not able to replace these on a cost-effective basis, OFG 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 March 31, 2022, OFG had approximately $1.856 billion in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $1.040 billion in investment securities that are not pledged as collateral, and $664.3 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 OFG are susceptible to operational risk.

OFG 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, OFG 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 OFG’s business operations are functioning within established limits.

OFG 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, OFG 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 and the executive Consumer Compliance Team. OFG 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.

OFG is subject to extensive United States federal and Puerto Rico regulations, and this regulatory scrutiny has been significantly increasing over the last several years. OFG 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. OFG 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.

Concentration Risk

Most of OFG’s business activities and a significant portion of its credit exposure are concentrated in Puerto Rico. As a consequence, OFG’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

OFG’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 OFG’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of OFG’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, OFG’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 OFG in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 OFG to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in OFG’s periodic reports.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in OFG’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 March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, OFG’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART - II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

OFG and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. OFG 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 OFG’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K) describes market, credit, and business operations risk factors that could affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is possible. As these conditions and circumstances have evolved subsequent to our 2021 Form 10-K filing, the following supplements the risk factors described in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Terrorist attacks and threats of war may impact all aspects of our operations, revenues, costs and stock price.

The recent special military actions of the Russian Federation and its invasion of Ukraine and the resulting geopolitical uncertainty are likely to have a significant impact on the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries, including the U.S. The threat that these military operations may expand beyond Ukraine may have a negative impact as well. Significant increases in the price of oil and natural gas and food have occurred and are likely to continue putting additional inflationary pressures on central banks, including the FRB. It is expected that interest rate hikes already announced by the FRB will continue to occur in 2022, but the amount, timing, and frequency of such increases are not fully known at this time. The Russian Federation has also threatened increased cyberattacks and the possibility of nuclear escalation as part of its recent actions which could affect the Bank and its customers. Additionally, the United States and European nations have imposed very significant financial sanctions on the Russian Republic, including targeted sanctions on Russian banks and wealthy individuals as well as halting certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. They have denied Russian banks access the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications or SWIFT which is expected to slow international trade and make such transactions costlier to accomplish which could also negatively affect OFG and its customers. In response to the Russian military actions, many businesses headquartered in the Eurozone and the United States have stopped doing business with Russia, which may negatively affect the profitability of those companies. The international turmoil has already had and may continue to have a negative impact on the stock market generally and, in turn, on our stock price. The full impact of the recent actions by the Russian Federation regarding Ukraine are not known at this time, but they could result in economic disruption, heightened volatility in financial markets and diminished consumer, business and investor confidence, among others, adversely impacting our business, financial condition, results of operation, and stock price.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In January 2022, the Company announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a new stock repurchase program to purchase an additional $100 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market. Any shares of common stock repurchased are held by the Company as treasury shares. The Company records treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased 1,219,132 shares under this program for a total of $33.5 million, at an average price of $27.46 per share.

The table below sets forth the information with respect to purchases of our common stock made by or on behalf of us during the quarter ended March 31, 2022:


Period	Total number of shares purchased	Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced programs	Maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the programs
	(In thousands, except per share data)
1/1/2022 - 1/31/2022	700,000	$	27.52	700,000	$	80,737
2/1/2022 - 2/28/2022	287,548	27.52		287,548	72,825
3/1/2022 - 3/31/2022	231,584	27.22		231,584	66,521
Total	1,219,132	$	27.46	1,219,132	$	66,521

The number of shares that may yet be purchased under the current $100 million program is estimated at 2,497,051 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $66.5 million by $26.64 (closing price of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2022). The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program during quarter ended March 31, 2022.
