FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may relate to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of OFG Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us” or “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;

•a credit default by the U.S. government or a downgrade in the credit ratings of the U.S. government, including as a result of Congress and the President failing to reach agreement on federal budgetary matters or debt ceiling limitations, as well as on other matters of fiscal and economic policy;

•the impacts related to or resulting from recent bank failures and other volatility, including potential increased regulatory and compliance requirements and costs and potential impacts to macroeconomic conditions, which could affect the ability of depository institutions, including the Bank, to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital;

•the actual or perceived soundness of other financial institutions, including as a result of the financial or operational failure of a major financial institution, or concerns about the creditworthiness of such a financial institution or its ability to fulfill its obligations, which can cause substantial and cascading disruption within the financial markets;

•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 (including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and acts of terrorism (including cyber-attacks), 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 financial assistance for the reconstruction of Puerto Rico’s infrastructure, which was impacted by the effects of Hurricane Maria in 2017, earthquakes in 2020, and Hurricane Fiona in 2022;

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

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

•changes in federal bank regulatory and supervisory policies, including with respect to required levels of capital;

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

•the performance of the stock and bond markets;

•competition in the financial services industry;

•possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes; and

•factors beyond our control such as continued waves of Covid-19 cases, the severity and contagiousness of new variants, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, power loss, disruptions in telecommunications, terrorism and other catastrophic events, any of which could significantly affect delinquency rates, loan and receivable balances and other aspects of our business and results of operations.

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.

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

OFG operates through various subsidiaries including, a commercial bank, Oriental Bank (the “Bank”), a securities broker-dealer and investment adviser, Oriental Financial Services LLC (“Oriental Financial Services”), an insurance agency, Oriental Insurance, LLC (“Oriental Insurance”), a captive reinsurance company, OFG Reinsurance Ltd (“OFG Reinsurance”), and OFG Ventures LLC (“OFG Ventures”), which holds investments. Through these subsidiaries and their respective divisions, OFG provides a wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer and mortgage lending, auto leasing and lending, financial planning, insurance sales, money management, investment banking and securities brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. Effective December 31, 2022, OFG sold its retirement plan administration business which was operated under a retirement plan administrator, Oriental Pension Consultants, Inc. (“OPC”), the OPC subsidiary and OPC thereafter discontinued its operations. The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 included these operations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of OFG have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 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 OFG’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Operating results for three-months period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. OFG 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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate mainly to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of securities, the determination of income taxes, impairment of securities, and goodwill valuation and impairment assessment

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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. OFG adopted the guidance related to the elimination of the recognition and measurement of TDRs and the enhancement of disclosures for loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of January 1, 2023, using the prospective transition method. As of our adoption date, all restructurings, including restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, are evaluated to determine whether they result in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan as the terms of the restructured loans are typically not at market rates. When a loan is restructured under ASU 2022-02 we continue to measure impairment on the loan using a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes the loan’s restructured terms, including the post-restructuring interest rate, and it did not result in any material changes to the allowance for credit losses. We also adopted the disclosure guidance related to the presentation of gross write-offs by year of origination in our vintage disclosures on January 1, 2023. At the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2023, there was no material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH

OFG has a contract with the Federal National Mortgage Association (the “FNMA”) which requires collateral to guarantee the repurchase, if necessary, of loans sold with recourse. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG delivered as collateral cash amounting to approximately $142 thousand and $157 thousand, respectively.

The Bank is required by Puerto Rico law to maintain average weekly reserve balances to cover demand deposits, excluding government deposits that are secured with pledged collateral. The amount of those minimum average reserve balances for the week that covered March 31, 2023 was $481.4 million (December 31, 2022 - $482.9 million). At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, money market instruments included as part of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Investment Securities

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value, weighted average yield and contractual maturities of the securities owned by OFG at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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.

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.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, most securities held by OFG are issued by U.S. government entities and government-sponsored agencies that have a zero-credit loss assumption.

Investment securities at March 31, 2023 include $265.8 million pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives, and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge, of which $265.3 million serve as collateral for public funds. Investment securities as of December 31, 2022 include $294.2 million pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives, and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge, of which $293.7 million serve as collateral for public funds.

At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 (the “OCFI”).

During the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $16.5 million and $24.0 million amortized cost, respectively, at a yield of 5.19% and 2.37%, respectively, from its own originations. Also, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG retained FNMA pools totaling $4.9 million, at a yield of 5.30%, from its own originations. OFG did not retain FNMA pools during the first quarter of 2022.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, OFG purchased $718 thousand and $325 thousand, respectively, of available for sale US Treasury securities.

There were no sales of securities during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. OFG has the intent and ability to hold its held to maturity investment securities until the recovery in value.

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

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total commercial non-accrual loans exclude $14.3 million and $16.4 million of non-accrual commercial loans held for sale, respectively.

Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable FHA and Veterans Administration (“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 December 31, 2022, loans whose terms have been extended and which were classified as troubled-debt restructurings that were not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $145.2 million as they were performing under their modified terms.

Modifications to Debtors Experiencing Financial Difficulty

OFG’s loss mitigation program was designed to ensure that borrowers experiencing financial difficulties have the opportunity to continue paying their obligations. The loss mitigation alternatives are divided depending on the borrower’s hardship and their ability to continue with regular payment or with a new modified payment plan. The loss mitigation program provides alternatives for home retention or disposition options avoiding foreclosure proceedings and collateral retention.

OFG offers various types of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension, interest or principal forbearance or any combination of these types of concessions.

On January 1, 2023, OFG adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the recognition and measurement of TDRs and enhanced disclosures for loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, using the prospective transition method.

At March 31, 2023, the amortized cost of modified loans excludes $32 thousand of accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable on loans is included in the “accrued interest receivable” line in OFG’s consolidated statements of financial condition.

The following tables present the amortized cost basis as of March 31, 2023 of loans held for investment that were modified during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and type of concession granted.

Our credit loss estimation methodology incorporates a lifetime approach, utilizing modeled loan performance based on the historical experience of loans with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The model considers extensive historical loss experience, including the impact of loss mitigation programs offered to borrowers facing financial difficulty and projected loss severity from loan defaults, and is applied consistently across all portfolio segments. Additionally, our allowance for credit losses is recorded on each asset upon origination or acquisition and is based on historical loss information, including modifications made to borrowers facing financial difficulty. Changes to the allowance for credit losses are generally not recorded upon modification, as the effects of most modifications are already considered in the estimation methodology. Refer to Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information.

The following table presents the financial effect of the modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The financial effect of the combined modifications is presented separately by type of modification.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2023, there were no loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that subsequently defaulted. A payment default for a financial difficulty modification loan is defined as reaching 90 days past due with respect to principal and/or interest payments or when the borrower missed three consecutive monthly payments since modification. Payment defaults are one of the factors considered when projecting future cash flows in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses of loans.

OFG closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table presents an aging of the loans held for investment that have been modified during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

At March 31, 2023, the total amortized cost of modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty includes $2.4 million of government-guaranteed loans (e.g. FHA/VA). There were no outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to debtors experiencing financial difficulties at March 31, 2023.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) Disclosures Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, OFG offered various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Concessions made to the original contractual terms of the loan typically consisted 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 restructuring. Loans that were restructured in a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 will continue to be accounted for under the historical TDR accounting until the relevant loans are paid off, liquidated or subsequently modified. Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2022 Form 10-K for more information on TDR accounting and disclosure requirements, and “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this report for more information on our adoption of ASU 2022-02.

The amount of outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to commercial borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs amounted to $3.2 million at December 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the recorded investment on residential mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure amounted to $38.2 million and $14.9 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 property title issues.

Credit Quality Indicators

OFG categorizes its loans into loan grades based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debts, 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 process described above are considered to be pass loans.

On January 1, 2023, OFG adopted ASU 2022-02 which requires public companies to include current-period gross write-offs by year of origination as described in the tables below.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans held for investment subject to risk rating by class of loans is as follows.

NOTE 5 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

On January 1, 2020, OFG adopted the 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 ACL is estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio, and 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. For more information on OFG’s credit loss accounting policies, including the allowance for credit losses, see “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in OFG’s 2022 Form 10-K.

At March 31, 2023, OFG used an economic probability weighted scenario approach consisting of the baseline and moderate recession scenarios, giving more weight to the baseline scenario, except for the US loan segment that was updated to use a higher probability level in the moderate recessionary scenario. In addition, the ACL at March 31, 2023 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 the evolution of risk ratings applied to the commercial loans and consumer retail portfolios. There are still many unknown variables including the results of the government’s fiscal and monetary actions resulting from the effect of inflation and geopolitical tension.

As of March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses decreased by $789 thousand when compared to December 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 reflected a provision of $6.1 million related to the growth in loan balances and a provision of $4.1 million related to commercial-specific loan reserves. The increases to the provision were partially offset by releases of $619 thousand associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market and $293 thousand for changes in the economic and loss rate models.

The net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $10.1 million, an increase of $9.5 million when compared to the same period of 2022. The increase is mainly due to increases of $5.3 million in commercial loans, $2.7 million in consumer loans, and $1.6 million in mortgage loans, offset by a decrease of $109 thousand in auto loans and leases.

The following tables present the activity in OFG’s allowance for credit losses by segment for quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

NOTE 7 - SERVICING ASSETS

OFG periodically sells or securitizes mortgage loans while retaining the obligation to perform the servicing of such loans. In addition, OFG may purchase or assume the right to service mortgage loans originated by others. Whenever OFG undertakes an obligation to service a loan, management assesses whether a servicing asset and/or liability should be recognized. A servicing asset is recognized whenever the compensation for servicing is expected to more than adequately compensate OFG for servicing the loans. Likewise, a servicing liability would be recognized in the event that servicing fees to be received are not expected to adequately compensate OFG for its expected cost.

At March 31, 2023, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $49.3 million ($50.9 million — December 31, 2022).

The following table presents the changes in servicing rights measured using the fair value method for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation model inputs or assumptions	(1,086)		853
Fair value at end of period	$	49,345	$	49,446

The following table presents key economic assumption ranges used in measuring the mortgage-related servicing asset fair value as of March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	March 31,
	2023	2022
Constant prepayment rate	3.59% - 23.26%	3.88% - 24.30%
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,		December 31,
	2023		2022
	(In thousands)
Mortgage-related servicing asset
Carrying value of mortgage servicing asset	$	49,345	$	50,921
Weighted average life (in years)	7.6		7.8
Constant prepayment rate
Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change	$	(954)	$	(956)
Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change	$	(1,875)	$	(1,880)
Discount rate
Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change	$	(2,163)	$	(2,265)
Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change	$	(4,163)	$	(4,356)

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 and included in the mortgage banking activities section in the consolidated statement of operations. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for both quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $5.0 million.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the notional amount of derivative contracts outstanding was $26.1 million and $26.6 million, respectively. The gross fair value of derivative asset was $275 thousand and $406 thousand, respectively, and the gross fair value of derivatives liabilities was zero for both periods. The impact of master netting agreements was not material. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivative and hedging activities were not material.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. There were no accumulated impairment losses at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 2022 using October 31, 2022 as the annual evaluation date and concluded that there was no impairment at December 31, 2022. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG performed an assessment of events or circumstances that could trigger reductions in the book value of the goodwill. Based on this assessment, no impairments were identified at March 31, 2023.

The following table reflects the components of other intangible assets subject to amortization at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Accrued interest receivable on loans that participated in the Hurricane Fiona and Covid-19 deferral programs amounted to $21.2 million at March 31, 2023, of which $19.5 million corresponds to loans in current status. Accrued interest receivable on loans that participated in the Hurricane Fiona and Covid-19 deferral program amounted to $21.8 million at December 31, 2022, of which $20.7 million corresponds to loans in current status. OFG estimates expected credit losses on accrued interest receivable for loans that participated in moratorium programs. An allowance has been established for loans with delinquency status in 30 to 89 days past due and is calculated by applying the corresponding loan projected loss factors to the accrued interest receivable balance. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable for loans that participated in moratorium programs amounted to $100 thousand and $144 thousand, respectively, and is included in accrued interest receivable in the statement of financial condition.

NOTE 12— BORROWINGS AND RELATED INTEREST

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Advances are received from the FHLB under an agreement whereby OFG is required to maintain a minimum amount of qualifying collateral with a fair value of at least 110% of the outstanding advances. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these advances were secured by mortgage and commercial loans amounting to $937.3 million and $951.1 million, respectively. Also, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG had an additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $419.6 million and $628.1 million, respectively. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining maturity of FHLB advances were 1.7 years and 3 days, respectively. The original terms of the outstanding short-term and long-term advances at March 31, 2023 are 1 month and 2 years, respectively.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

OFG is subject to the provisions of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “PR Code”). The PR Code imposes a maximum statutory corporate tax rate of 37.5%. OFG has operations in the U.S. through its wholly owned subsidiaries OPC, OFG Ventures, and OFG USA LLC (“OFG USA”), which is a direct subsidiary of the Bank, and has two branches in the USVI. The United States subsidiaries are subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level, while the USVI branches are subject to 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, OFG’s wholly owned subsidiary, OFG Reinsurance Ltd., is tax exempt in Grand Cayman. Effective December 30, 2022, OFG sold its pension plan administration operations in OPC and thereafter OPC discontinued its operations.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG’s net deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance of $9.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively, amounted to $37.4 million and $55.5 million, respectively. The decrease in valuation allowance of $177 thousand was mainly related to OFG’s operations at the holding company level. 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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at March 31, 2023. 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 (“ETR”) lower than the statutory rate for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of 29.0% and 30.6%, respectively, the decrease is mainly related to an exempt income and a discrete tax windfall on stock options recognized during the period. The expected ETR for 2023 is 30.4%.

OFG classifies unrecognized tax benefits in other liabilities. These gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the ETR if realized. At March 31, 2023, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $884 thousand (December 31, 2022 - $867 thousand).

Income tax expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $18.9 million and $16.6 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. OFG and the Bank have elected to exclude accumulated comprehensive income related to both available for sale securities and derivative valuations from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

OFG’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

NOTE 15 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, common stock amounted to $59.9 million.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank’s legal surplus amounted to $138.3 million and $133.9 million, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG transferred $4.4 million to the legal surplus account. 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, 2023, OFG repurchased 104,800 shares for a total of $2.9 million at an average price of $27.61 per share. 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.

At March 31, 2023, the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $100 million program is estimated at 1,323,017 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $33.0 million by $24.94 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at March 31, 2023).

OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG increased its quarterly common stock cash dividend to $0.22 per share from $0.20 per share at December 31, 2022.

NOTE 18 – GUARANTEES

At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the notional amount of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $24.7 million.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $108.6 million and $110.9 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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, 2023 and 2022:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	147	$	294
Net recoveries (charge-offs/terminations)	(6)		(100)
Balance at end of period	$	141	$	194

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, 2023 and 2022, OFG repurchased $65 thousand and $718 thousand, respectively, in mortgage loans. 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, 2023, OFG’s liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $141 thousand (December 31, 2022– $147 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, 2023, OFG repurchased $2.2 million (March 31, 2022 – $7.8 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provision. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG had a $1.0 million and a $1.4 million liability, respectively, for the estimated credit losses related to these loans.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, OFG recognized $6 thousand and $100 thousand in gains, net of reserves, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $252 thousand and $2 thousand in gains, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties.

At March 31, 2023, OFG serviced $5.8 billion (December 31, 2022 - $5.8 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 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 guarantee 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, 2023, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by OFG under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $7.8 million (December 31, 2022 - $7.8 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022
	(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	1,423,670	$	1,403,118
Commercial letters of credit	224		1,082

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, is as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022
	(In thousands)
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	24,740	$	24,749
Loans sold with recourse	108,572		110,891

Table of Contents

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures corresponding to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit amounted to $893 thousand and $734 thousand, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the statement of financial condition.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $20.9 million and $21.5 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 require 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $10.3 million and $8.6 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, this accrued liability amounted to $1.2 million and $2.4 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 20— OPERATING LEASES

Substantially all leases in which OFG is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and office space with terms extending through 2038. OFG’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments. All leases are classified as operating leases and are included on the consolidated statements of financial condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. OFG leases to others certain space in its principal offices for terms extending through 2024; all are operating leases.

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”). 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 this 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.

Table of Contents

OFG BANCORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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.

Other repossessed assets

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

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

Information about Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs

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 DCF methodology. DCF is a valuation method that uses the concept of the time value of money. The methodology uses 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.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

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

•Investments in FHLB 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 in other debt securities available for sale 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 loans and leases. 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 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

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

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.

Other income as credit life and branch service commissions, servicing and other loan fees, international fees, and miscellaneous income recognized as banking services revenue are out of the scope of ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Wealth Management Revenue

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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Brokers fees consist of two categories:

•Sales commissions generated by advisers 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 advisers’ 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.

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. The monthly fee does not include future services.

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. Effective December 31, 2022, OFG sold its retirement plan administration business which was operated under the OPC subsidiary and OPC thereafter discontinued its operations.

Mortgage Banking Activities

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

NOTE 23 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

OFG segregates its businesses into the following 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 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, auto loans and leases, 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, securities brokerage services, investment advisory services, insurance, corporate and individual trust and retirement services, as well as retirement plan administration services up to December 31, 2022, on which date OPC sold its retirement plan administration business.

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.

Eliminations include interest income and expense for a borrowing by Oriental Overseas, an international banking entity

organized in Puerto Rico pursuant to the International Banking Center Regulatory Act of Puerto Rico, as amended,

that operates as a unit within the Bank, which is included in the Treasury Segment with its corresponding interest expense, to fund its operations, from the Bank, which is included in the Banking Segment with its corresponding interest income, with an unpaid principal balance of $414.6 million and $263.0 million at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is eliminated in the consolidation. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The increase in interest income and interest expense from the prior year period was mainly as a result of Federal Open Market Committee of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) federal funds rate increases and higher average borrowing balance.

INTRODUCTION

OFG is a publicly-owned financial holding company that provides wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer, auto, and mortgage lending, auto leasing and lending, financial planning, insurance sales, money management, investment banking and securities brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. OFG operates through three 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-one 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. On December 31, 2022, OFG sold its retirement plan administration business which was operated under the OPC subsidiary and OPC thereafter discontinued its operations. Comparative results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 include these operations. 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 2023, OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved the increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.22 per common share from $0.20 per share, beginning on the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Economic Conditions

The Covid-19 pandemic that began in March 2020 changed in several aspects the way we do business, as well as economic activity globally, nationally and locally. As the restrictions related to the pandemic eased in the United States, employment increased and pent-up demand was released, which created global supply chain issues and shortages of goods, which in turn triggered price inflation. In an effort to address inflation, the FRB has tightened monetary policy and increased the federal funds rate seven times during fiscal year 2022 and two times during fiscal year 2023. The last increase was made on May 3, 2023 of 25 basis points updating the federal funds target rate range between 5.00% to 5.25%, its highest level since September 2007. FRB officials forecast the federal funds target rate will continue to increase during 2023 despite banking industry turmoil that began with the collapse of the US regional banks in March 2023. In addition, the FRB has also scaled back its asset purchase program that provided liquidity to the bond markets.

Adding to economic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures are military actions taken by Russia against Ukraine that commenced in February 2022, which added further stress to existing supply chain challenges and placed upward price pressure on commodities such as oil and natural gas, which have further exacerbated the global macroeconomic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures. However, we believe that the macroeconomic outlook for Puerto Rico continues to show strength. Recent data show that the Puerto Rico Economic Activity Index, as published by the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico, has been increasing for over a year which we believe signals a stable upward trend as employment gains remain solid. Our commercial clients are experiencing a higher demand for their products and services. Consumer demand also remains strong and, following five years of bankruptcy proceedings under Title III of PROMESA, the Puerto Rico central government has begun to implement the plan of adjustment approved by the Title III bankruptcy court on January 18, 2022, setting the stage for its exit from bankruptcy. Nevertheless, there remain several public instrumentalities whose debt obligations have not been restructured under the mechanisms provided by PROMESA and any recovery of the Puerto Rico 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 scope, 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, economic recessions, trade and supply chain disruption, continuing inflationary pressures, labor shortages, armed conflicts such as the ongoing military actions against Ukraine, and the uncertainty of the timing and extent of potential actions that might be taken by the FRB. However, we believe that the high levels of reconstruction and stimulus funds being channeled towards the Puerto Rico economy are mitigating the foregoing negative effects.

Recent events impacting the financial services industry, particularly the failures and regulatory takeovers of Silicon Valley Bank on March 10, 2023, Signature Bank on March 12, 2023, and First Republic Bank on May 1, 2023, have resulted in decreased confidence in banks among consumer and commercial depositors, other counterparties and investors, as well as significant disruption, volatility and reduced valuations of equity and other securities of banks in the capital markets. These events are unfolding during a period of rapidly rising interest rates which, among other things, has resulted in unrealized losses in longer duration securities and loans held by banks, more competition for bank deposits, and may increase the risk of a potential recession. These recent events have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility of our common stock and financial institutions such as the Bank may face challenges in obtaining funding from other sources, such as interbank markets or capital markets. The impact of market volatility from the adverse developments in the banking industry along with continued high inflation and rising interest rates on our business and related financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Our businesses and financial results may be impacted by a variety of other factors as well, such as an economic slowdown or recession.

In response to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank during March 2023, the FRB announced a new Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) the purpose of which is to provide additional funding to eligible depository institutions. This program offers loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral, which would be valued at par. The BTFP will be an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities, eliminating an eligible depository institution’s need to quickly sell those securities in times of financial challenges and market volatility. The BTFP is intended to provide funding to banks to ensure that they have adequate

liquidity to continue operating and lending to the economy. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank is set up and eligible to participate in the BTFP, but has not requested and does not currently expect to request funds from this program.

In the aftermath of the recent bank failures, the regulatory agencies may propose certain actions, including reforms to existing regulatory and prudential frameworks that may impose different capital and liquidity requirements, including increased requirements to issue debt or raise capital. In addition, there may be special assessments imposed on insured depository institutions in order to mitigate the losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund as a result of recent bank failures. It is not yet possible to quantify the scope of any of these actions or the potential impact on our operations.

LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates

In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that the FCA intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. However, the administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings until June 30, 2023 and has ceased publishing other LIBOR settings since December 31, 2021.

Although OFG believes that its exposure to LIBOR is not material, as it represents only 3% of total assets, LIBOR-based contracts that will be impacted by the cessation of LIBOR have been under review to ensure they contain adequate fallback language. OFG has also been proactively working to transition to alternative reference rates (“ARR”) and/or fallback language in both existing as well as new contracts to prepare for the cessation of LIBOR. Furthermore, management established a LIBOR transition team that leads OFG in the execution of its project plan and is monitoring the development and adoption of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) alternatives as well as other credit sensitive ARR and their liquidity in the market.

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 2022 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 2022 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. As part of OFG’s continuous enhancement to the allowance for credit losses methodology, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an assessment of the weight of probability scenarios for the US loan segment was performed and updated to use a higher probability level in the moderate recessionary scenario. This change in the allowance for credit losses is considered a change in accounting estimate as per ASC 250-10 provisions, where adjustments should be made prospectively. Apart from this change, there have been no material changes in the methods that we used to formulate these critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The first quarter of 2023 continued to reflect high levels of liquidity and capital, which we believe places OFG in a strong position in today’s banking environment. Our financial results also demonstrated solid core revenues, net interest margin, credit quality, operating leverage, and customer acquisition trends. Deposit balances were stable with a cumulative deposit beta (portion of a change in the federal funds rate that is passed on to interest rates paid on the Bank’s deposits) of approximately 10%. In addition, we continued to execute our “digital first” strategy, placing more banking kiosks and interactive teller machines in the field, and client digital adoption increased 10% year-over-year. With Puerto Rico businesses and consumers remaining in good financial health, OFG looks forward to ongoing progress in 2023.

The first quarter of 2023 reflected strong performance metrics. Net interest margin of 5.89%, return on average assets of 1.87%, return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity of 19.13%, and efficiency ratio of 54.87%.

Earnings per share diluted of $0.96 compared to $0.97 in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.76 in in the first quarter of 2022. Total core revenues of $164.4 million compared to $168.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $136.4 million in the first quarter of 2022.

The first quarter of 2023 reflected the full effect of the 50-basis point increase in the federal funds rate made in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the partial effect of the 50-basis point increase made in the first quarter of 2023. Two fewer days compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 reduced net interest income by $2.2 million.

Total interest income of $149.0 million compared to $145.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $112.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the first quarter of 2023 reflected higher yields on increased average loans, in particular auto, commercial, and consumer.

Pre-provision net revenues of $74.6 million compared to $76.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $55.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The sequential quarterly decline was mostly due to the change in banking and financial service revenues.

Total provision for credit losses of $9.4 million compared to $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 included $6.2 million due to increased loan volume, $2.1 million for a commercial loan, and a $1.1 million increase in the qualitative adjustment due to the reduced macroeconomic environment outlook in the US.

Credit quality: net charge-offs of $10.1 million compared to $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 primarily reflected a reduction of auto loan net charge-offs compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, delinquency and non-performing loan rates decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total non-interest expense of $90.2 million compared to $91.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $81.2 million in the first quarter of 2022.

New loan production of $561.3 million compared to $616.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $623.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the first quarter of 2023 reflected continued high levels of auto lending, increased commercial lending in the U.S. and consumer lending, offset by a reduction of commercial loan production in Puerto Rico.

Total investments of $1.917 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $1.972 billion at December 31, 2022 and $1.259 billion at March 31, 2022. Investments declined $54.3 million from December 31, 2022 due to the maturity of Treasury securities and paydowns of mortgage-backed securities.

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, 2023 and 2022

Net interest income of $135.9 million increased $30.7 million from $105.2 million. Tax equivalent basis net interest income of $140.5 million increased $32.9 million, or 30.5%, from $107.7 million.

Interest rate spread increased 140 basis points to 5.85% from 4.45% and net interest margin increased 142 basis points to 5.89% from 4.47%. This increase reflects an increase of 166 basis points in the total average yield of interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 26 basis points. Net interest income was positively impacted by:

•An increase of $20.7 million in interest income from loans, primarily driven by: (i) higher interest income from commercial loans by $14.5 million, reflecting the upward repricing of variable rate commercial loans and increased yields on new loans originated during 2023; (ii) higher interest income from auto loans and leases by $5.1 million, mainly due to an increase in the average balance of this portfolio by approximately $284.2 million; and (iii) higher interest income from consumer loans by $3.5 million, mainly due to an increase in the average balance of this portfolio of approximately $117.6 million. These increases were partially offset by lower interest income from residential mortgage loans by $2.4 million, reflecting a decrease in the average balance of this portfolio by approximately $231.7 million;

•An increase of $9.8 million in interest income from investments securities, primarily related to a higher average volume of approximately $991.0 million from approximately $1.5 billion purchases completed during 2022, which resulted in an increase in interest income of approximately $6.9 million, and higher yield by 105 basis points, which contributed to an increase in interest income of approximately $2.8 million; and

•An increase of $5.5 million in interest income from a higher yield in lower balances of interest-bearing cash and money market investments related to increases in federal fund rates. The FRB federal funds target rates increased from a range of 0.25% to 0.50% in the first quarter of 2022 to a range of 4.75% to 5.00% in the first quarter of 2023.

These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense by $5.3 million reflecting an increase in the average cost of total deposits of 27 basis points, which resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $5.7 million and the partial effect in interest expense of the new long-term FHLB advance obtained during the first quarter of 2023. This resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $313 thousand, partially offset by the early redemption of $36.1 million subordinated capital notes during the first quarter of 2022, which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $521 thousand.

Non-Interest Income

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

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

OFG recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $28.9 million, compared to $31.6 million, a decrease of 8.6%, or $2.7 million. The decrease in non-interest income was mainly due to:

•A $1.9 million decrease in mortgage banking activities due to the unfavorable impact of $2.0 million in mortgage servicing rights valuation; and

•A $737 thousand decrease in wealth management revenues, primarily reflecting the sale of the retirement plan administration business in December 31, 2022, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $503 thousand.

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Non-interest expense was $90.2 million, representing an increase of 11.2%, or $9.1 million, compared to $81.2 million. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to:

•Increase in compensation and employee benefits of $3.7 million, mainly due to higher salaries and benefits expenses, including payroll taxes and connectivity expenses, partially offset by lower provisions for bonuses and a

decrease of approximately $417 thousand associated with the sale of OFG’s retirement plan administration business during the fourth quarter of 2022;

•Increase in foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets expenses, net of income of $2.3 million, reflecting lower gain on sale of other repossessed assets and foreclosed real estate by $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in credit-related expenses of $915 thousand;

•Increase in occupancy, equipment and infrastructure costs of $2.3 million, primarily related to an increase of $1.3 million in depreciation and amortization expenses reflecting new digital projects placed in production during 2022 and a $805 thousand increase in software maintenance, licenses and internet service expenses;

•Increase of $1.6 million in information technology expenses, primarily driven by higher design, development and operating support expenses incurred as part of the implementation of OFG’s digital transformation strategy; and

•Increase of $551 thousand in electronic banking charges driven by higher point-of-sale (“POS”) fees by $282 thousand and higher debit and credit card expenses by $259 thousand due to higher transaction volume.

The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by a decrease of $881 thousand from Covid-19 related expenses in the prior year quarter.

The efficiency ratio was 54.87% and improved from 59.50%. 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, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $370 thousand and $405 thousand, respectively.

Provision for Credit Losses

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Provision for credit losses increased by $7.9 million to $9.4 million from $1.6 million. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 reflected a provision of $6.1 million related to the growth in loan balances and a provision of $4.1 million related to commercial-specific loan reserves. The increases to the provision were partially offset by releases of $619 thousand associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market and $293 thousand for changes in the economic and loss rate models. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 included 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.

Income Tax Expense

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

OFG’s ETR was 29.0% in 2023 compared to 30.6% in 2022. The decrease in ETR was mainly related to an increase in exempt income due to higher interest rate and investments in exempt activities.

Eliminations include interest income and expense for a borrowing by Oriental Overseas, an international banking entity organized in Puerto Rico pursuant to the International Banking Center Regulatory Act of Puerto Rico, as amended, that operates as a unit within the Bank, which is included in the Treasury Segment with its corresponding interest expense, to fund its operations, from the Bank, which is included in the Banking Segment with its corresponding interest income, with an unpaid principal balance of $414.6 million and $263.0 million at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is eliminated in the consolidation. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The increase in interest income and interest expense from prior year quarter was mainly as a result of FRB federal funds rate increases and higher average borrowing balance.

Business Segments

OFG segregates its businesses into the following 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, 2023 and 2022.

Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Banking

OFG’s banking segment net income before taxes increased by $618 thousand from $46.8 million to $47.4 million, mainly reflecting:

•Increase of $20.7 million in interest income from loans, driven by increased yields on higher balances; and

•Increase of $4.4 million in interest income related to Oriental Overseas’ borrowings from the Bank to fund its operations, which is eliminated in the consolidation, mainly as a result of higher average unpaid principal balance and interest rates in the current period.

The increases in the banking segment’s income net income were partially offset by:

•Increase in provision for credit losses of $7.7 million. The provision for the first quarter of 2023 reflected increases due to growth in loan balances and commercial-specific loan reserves, partially offset by releases associated with qualitative adjustments due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market and from changes in economic and loss rate models. The provision for the first quarter of 2022 reflected increases associated with the growth in loan balances and for certain commercial loans placed in non-accrual status, partially offset by a release associated with qualitative adjustments due to improved macroeconomic conditions;

•Increase of $9.4 million in non-interest expenses, primarily reflecting higher balances in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, information technology expenses and electronic banking charges by $4.0 million, $2.4 million, $1.6 million and $552 thousand, respectively;

•Decrease of $1.9 million in non-interest income due to the unfavorable impact of $2.0 million mortgage servicing rights portfolio valuation; and

•Increase of $5.4 million in interest expense primarily related to an increase in the average cost of deposits.

Wealth Management

Wealth management segment revenue consists of commissions and fees from fiduciary activities, securities brokerage, and insurance and reinsurance activities. Net income before taxes from this segment remained leveled at $2.9 million from $3.0 million. The sale of OFG’s retirement plan administration business during the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted in a decrease in non-interest income of $502 thousand and in non-interest expenses of $661 thousand.

Treasury

Treasury segment net income before taxes increased by $10.6 million, mainly reflecting an increase in interest income from the purchases of investment securities during the year 2022 and higher yield in lower balances of interest bearing cash and money market investments related to the increase in federal fund rates and the early redemption of $36.1 million subordinated capital notes during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in interest expense associated with the new long-term FHLB advance obtained during the first quarter of 2023.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets Owned

At March 31, 2023, OFG’s total assets amounted to $10.058 billion, an increase of $238.8 million, when compared to $9.819 billion at December 31, 2022.

Cash and due from banks of $844.2 million increased by $298.0 million, reflecting the effect of a two-year $200.0 million FHLB advance obtained during the first quarter of 2023 and the maturity of a US Treasury security amounting to $70.7 million.

The investment portfolio decreased by $54.3 million, or 2.8%, primarily related to the maturity of a US Treasury security available for sale and paydowns of mortgage-backed securities amounting to $70.7 million and $30.7 million, respectively, partially offset by favorable market value adjustments of $17.9 million. During the first quarter of 2023, market conditions reacted to the collapse of the US regional banks in March 2023 and the smaller than projected increase in the FRB’s federal funds rate, which resulted in a significant drop in bond yields. OFG’s strategy is to invest its liquidity in highly liquid securities after taking into account the investment’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, 2023, OFG’s net loan portfolio increased by $12.0 million, or 0.2%, reflecting increases in auto and consumer loans, partially offset by decreases in commercial and residential mortgage loans.

Financial Assets Managed

At March 31, 2023 OFG’s financial assets include those managed by OFG’s trust division and assets gathered by its securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries. OFG’s trust division offers various types of individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and manages Keogh retirement plans and custodian and corporate trust accounts. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total assets managed by OFG’s trust division amounted to $2.400 billion and $2.335 billion, respectively. 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, 2023, total assets gathered by the securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries from their customers’ investment accounts amounted to $2.282 billion, compared to $2.172 billion at December 31, 2022.

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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG performed an assessment of events or circumstances that could trigger reductions in the book value of the goodwill. Based on this assessment, no impairments were identified at March 31, 2023.

As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG had $84.2 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the banking segment and $0.1 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 and leases. As shown in Table 6 above, total loans, net, amounted to $6.735 billion at March 31, 2023 and $6.723 billion at December 31, 2022. OFG’s loans held-for-investment portfolio composition and trends were as follows:

•Commercial loan portfolio amounted to $2.582 billion (37.7% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $2.630 billion (38.5% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2022. Commercial loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate amounted to $609.1 million and $605.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which represented 8.8% and 8.9% of our total loan portfolio held for investment.

Commercial loan production decreased by 22%, or $61.5 million, to $222.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 from $283.9 million in the prior year quarter.

•Mortgage loan portfolio amounted to $1.669 billion (24.3% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $1.704 billion (24.9% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2022. Mortgage loans included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program amounting to $26.3 million and $32.6 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Under the GNMA program, issuers such as OFG have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected (rebooked) on our financial statements with an offsetting liability.

Mortgage loan production totaled $30.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, which represents a decrease of 52.5% from $63.9 million in the prior period quarter. Decrease reflects the negative impact of FRB federal funds rate increases during 2022 and 2023 in the housing market in Puerto Rico.

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 US mortgage loan originators. Furthermore, OFG has never been active in negative amortization loans or offered adjustable-rate mortgage loans with teaser rates.

•Consumer loan portfolio amounted to $565.0 million (8.2% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $537.3 million (7.9% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2022. Consumer loan production decreased by 11.1% to $86.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 from $97.1 million in prior period quarter.

•Auto loans and leases portfolio amounted to $2.039 billion (29.8% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $1.964 billion (28.7% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2022. Auto loans production increased by 24.7% to $222.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $178.3 million in the prior period quarter.

At March 31, 2023, OFG has $73.5 million of direct credit exposure to the Puerto Rico government, a $0.2 million decrease from December 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

OFG measures its allowance for credit losses based on management’s best estimate of future expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets.

Tables 8 through 11 set forth an analysis of activity in the allowance for credit losses and present selected credit loss statistics for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. In addition, Table 6 sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio.

Please refer to the “Provision for Credit Losses” and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” sections in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and “Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses” of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a more detailed analysis of provisions and allowance for credit losses.

Non-performing Assets

OFG’s non-performing assets include non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate, and other repossessed assets (see Tables 13 and 15). At March 31, 2023, OFG had $74.6 million of non-accrual loans held for investment, including $8.7 million PCD loans, compared to $89.6 million at December 31, 2022, reflecting decreases of $7.9 million, $5.2 million, and $1.8 million in commercial, auto, and mortgage loan portfolios, respectively. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total commercial non-accrual loans exclude $14.3 million and $16.4 million, respectively, of non-accrual commercial loans held for sale.

At December 31, 2022, loans whose terms have been extended and which were classified as TDRs that were not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $145.2 million as they were performing under their modified terms. On January 1, 2023, OFG adopted ASU 2022-02 related to the elimination of the recognition and measurement of TDRs and the enhancement of disclosures for loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty using the prospective transition method. Loans that were restructured in a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 will continue to be accounted for under the historical TDR accounting until the relevant loans are paid off, liquidated or subsequently modified.

Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of these residential mortgage loans was $9.2 million and 10.3 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2023, OFG’s non-performing assets decreased by 15.6% to $97.6 million (0.97% total assets) from $115.7 million (1.18% of total assets) at December 31, 2022.

Foreclosed real estate decreased from $11.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $9.3 million at March 31, 2023 and other repossessed assets amounted to $4.6 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, both recorded at fair value. OFG does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses. At March 31, 2023, the allowance coverage ratio to non-performing loans was 181.2% (152.9% at December 31, 2022).

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.

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

Commercial loans - At March 31, 2023, OFG’s non-performing commercial loans amounted to $35.5 million (42.3% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 18.2% decrease from $43.4 million at December 31, 2022 (43.4% 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, 2023, OFG’s non-performing mortgage loans totaled $30.9 million (36.9% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 8.5% decrease from $33.8 million (33.8% of OFG’s non-performing loans) at December 31, 2022. 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, 2023, OFG’s non-performing consumer loans amounted to $3.0 million (3.6% of OFG’s non-performing loans), an 4.8% decrease from $3.1 million at December 31, 2022 (3.1% 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 loans and leasing - At March 31, 2023, OFG’s non-performing auto loans and leases amounted to $14.5 million (17.2% of OFG’s total non-performing loans), a decrease of 26.3% from $19.6 million at December 31, 2022 (19.7% of OFG’s total non-performing loans). Non-PCD auto loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, partially written-off to collateral value when payments are delinquent 120 days, and fully written-off when payments are delinquent 180 days.

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, USDA Rural Development (RURAL), Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (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 credit underwriters for financial difficulty modification if OFG grants a concession for legal or economic reasons due to the debtor’s financial difficulties.

Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $10.1 million, increasing by $9.5 million when compared to $577 thousand in the prior period quarter. Net charge-offs variances were as follows:

Residential mortgage loans net recoveries amounted to $187 thousand in the first quarter of 2023, decreasing by $1.6 million when compared to net recoveries of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. The change reflects recoveries during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $1.1 million associated with the final settlement of the past due mortgage loans sold during the quarter.

Commercial loans net charge-offs amounted to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, increasing by $5.3 million when compared to net recoveries of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The charge-offs for the first quarter of 2023 included a $2.1 million charge-off recognized on a commercial loan, and $1.3 million charge-offs recognized on a non-PCD commercial loan relationship. The recoveries for the first quarter of 2022 included a $2.8 million recovery from a Puerto Rico government public corporation acquired PCD commercial loan repaid during the first quarter of 2022.

Consumer loans net charge-offs amounted to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, increasing by $2.8 million when compared to net charge-offs of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2023 was driven by an increase in business volumes.

Auto loans net charge-offs amounted to $2.9 million in first quarter of 2023, decreasing by $109 thousand when compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Liabilities and Funding Sources

As shown in Table 15 above, at March 31, 2023, OFG’s total liabilities were $8.968 billion, 2.2% higher than the $8.776 billion reported at December 31, 2022. Deposits and borrowings, OFG’s funding sources, amounted to $8.792 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $8.595 billion at December 31, 2022. Deposits, excluding accrued interest payable, decreased by $3.1 million reflecting a decrease in demand deposits of $138.6 million and in brokered deposits of $11.4 million, offset by an increase of $43.8 million and $103.3 million in savings and time deposits, respectively. Commercial deposits, excluding public funds, increased by $76.3 million and retail deposits decreased by $15.3 million.

As of March 31, 2023 borrowings consist of FHLB advances amounting to $226.7 million and other borrowings amounting to $128 thousand. Borrowings increased by $199.8 million, when compared to $27.0 million at December 31, 2022, reflecting a new two-year FHLB advance of $200 million with a rate of 4.52% in first quarter of 2023.

Stockholders’ Equity

At March 31, 2023, OFG’s total stockholders’ equity was $1.090 billion, a 4.5% increase when compared to $1.042 billion at December 31, 2022. This increase reflects an increase in retained earnings of $31.3 million, mainly due to $46.2 million in net income, partially offset by $10.5 million common stock dividends, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $15.1 million from positive market value adjustments on available-for-sale investment securities, and an increase in legal surplus of $4.4 million during the first quarter of 2023. These variances were partially offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in additional paid-in capital and $1.7 million from treasury stock as a result of repurchases of common stock in the aggregate amount of $2.9 million in connection with the $100 million stock buyback program announced during the first quarter of 2022.

Regulatory Capital

OFG and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the FRB and the FDIC. The current risk-based capital standards applicable to OFG and the Bank (“Basel III capital rules”) 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, 2023, 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, OFG 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 OFG 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 are being phased out of CET1 capital over a three-year period.

The risk-based capital ratios presented in Table 16 include common equity tier 1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

From December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, leverage capital ratio increased from 10.36% to 10.75%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increased from 13.64% to 14.07%, total risk-based capital ratio increased from 14.89% to 15.33%, common equity tier 1 capital ratio increased from 13.64% to 14.07%, and tangible common equity to tangible total assets increased from 9.59% to 9.85%. The increases in capital ratios reflected an increase in retained earnings from net income, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $15.1 million from positive market value adjustments on available-for-sale investment securities during the quarter, offset by lower CECL transition provision by $6.9 million and a decrease in risk-weighted assets of $46.3 million. Risk-weighted assets decreased mainly from lower net deferred tax asset recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Tangible book value per common share	$	20.57		$	19.56

The tangible common equity to tangible assets 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 to tangible assets 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, 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, 2023, OFG repurchased 104,800 shares for a total of $2.9 million at an average price of $27.61 per share. 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.

At March 31, 2023 the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $100 million stock buyback program is estimated at 1,323,017 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $33.0 million by $24.94 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at March 31, 2023).

OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program.

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 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 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 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.

In March 2023, the market reacted with volatility as a result of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and then First Republic Bank on May 1, 2023, three large US regional banks, which became the biggest bank failures since 2008, after they experienced a run on deposits mainly driven by a significant decrease in the value of their investments. Market reactions to recession concerns and inflationary pressure, combined with aggressive interest rate increases as part of the FRB’s efforts to control inflation during 2022 and 2023, had a significant impact on bond prices, including those guaranteed by the US government or by a US government-sponsored entity. Nevertheless, we believe that OFG has strong capital and liquidity levels that facilitate holding securities until the recovery of their amortized cost basis. We also believe that our market risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market volatility over time and remain strong under these challenging conditions. We do not have significant deposit client concentrations and further believe that our clients are confident in the resiliency of the Bank. As a result of the events triggered by the two bank failures in March 2023, we have not experienced significant changes in our customer deposits base. Total core deposits at March 31, 2023 amounted to $8.565 billion compared to $8.557 billion at December 31, 2022.

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 created 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, 2023. 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	$	12,207	2.17	%	$	5,658	1.01	%
+ 100 Basis points	$	24,608	4.38	%	$	11,464	2.04	%
+ 200 Basis points	$	49,778	8.86	%	$	23,041	4.10	%
- 50 Basis points	$	(11,372)	-2.02	%	$	(5,111)	-0.91	%
'-100 Basis points	$	(22,132)	-3.94	%	$	(10,378)	-1.85	%

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 will 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 debts 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 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 consist of the short-term advances from the FHLB still outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

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 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, 2023, OFG had $26.1 million in interest rate swaps at an average rate of 2.42% designated as cash flow hedges for $26.1 million in advances from the FHLB that reprice or are being rolled over on a monthly basis. An asset of $275 thousand was recognized at March 31, 2023 related to the valuation of these swaps. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG entered into a $200.0 million 2-year FHLB advance with a weighted average interest rate of 4.52%.

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, we believe that recent macroeconomic conditions continue to show strength, however, as was demonstrated by Hurricane Fiona in September 2022, 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 and US Treasury 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 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 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.

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, increased to $1.424 billion at March 31, 2023 ($194.9 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.229 billion with maturity over one year) compared to $1.403 billion at December 31, 2022 ($214.7 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.188 billion with maturity over one year), and standby letters of credit provided to customers amounted to $24.7 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Loans sold with recourse at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 amounted to $108.6 million and $110.9 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $20.9 million and $21.5 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $10.3 million and $8.6 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 volatility in the past, as with the Covid-19 pandemic, and in the present, with the recent disruption in the banking industry that began with the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March 2023. Even though OFG’s liquidity was impacted by loan principal and interest payment deferrals that were granted for certain customers during the Covid-19 pandemic and Hurricane Fiona, liquidity has been growing from the federal stimulus programs Puerto Rico is receiving following Hurricane Maria in 2017, the January 2020 earthquakes, the Covid-19 pandemic and Hurricane Fiona in 2022. 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 inflation, the war in Ukraine, and increasing recessionary risk in the US, we continue monitoring our liquidity position, specifically cash on hand to meet customer demands.

100

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 or US 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, 2023, OFG had approximately $847.4 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $1.618 billion in investment securities that are not pledged as collateral, and $419.6 million in borrowing capacity at the FHLB. In addition, the FRB, as a measure to address any liquidity pressures that affect eligible depository institutions after the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March 2023, created the BTFP, which will be an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities, eliminating an eligible depository institution’s need to quickly sell those securities in times of financial challenges and market volatility. The Bank is set up to participate in the BTFP, but has not requested and does not currently expect to request funds from this program. At March 31, 2023, the Bank had $1.1 billion in securities qualified for the BTFP. As of March 31, 2023, and to the date of this filing, OFG has not seen an increasing trend in the number of customers closing or withdrawing significant amounts of funds from their accounts after the closure of the regional banks in March 2023. We believe that the deposit volumes as well as the customer deposit base have remained stable and management continues to monitor shifts in deposit levels through periodical reporting focused on shifts in volumes, product type, rates, business sector; this also considers daily shifts in the Bank’s top clients in the different business units. OFG is currently providing daily liquidity reports as requested by both the FDIC and the FRB following the two bank failures in March 2023.

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, 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 the General Counsel who reports to the Chief Executive Officer and supervises the BSA Officer and Regulatory Compliance Officer. The General Counsel 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.

101

increased requirements to issue debt or raise capital. In addition, there may be special assessments imposed on insured depository institutions in order to mitigate the losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund as a result of recent bank failures. It is not yet possible to quantify the scope of any of these actions or the potential impact on our operations.

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.

102

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, 2023, 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, 2022 (2022 Form 10-K) describes market, credit, and business operations risk factors that could affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. In March 2023 and May 2023, three of the largest US regional banks were shut down by federal regulators. As these conditions and circumstances have evolved subsequent to our 2022 Form 10-K filing, the following supplements the risk factors described in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Adverse developments affecting the banking industry, and resulting media coverage, have eroded customer confidence in the banking system and could have a material effect on OFG’s operations and/or stock price.

Recent events impacting the financial services industry, including the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank, have resulted in decreased confidence in banks among consumer and commercial depositors, other counterparties and investors, as well as significant disruption, volatility and reduced valuations of equity and other securities of banks in the capital markets. These events occurred during a period of rapidly rising interest rates which, among other things, has resulted in unrealized losses in longer duration securities and loans held by banks, more competition for bank deposits, and may increase the risk of a potential recession. These recent events have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility of OFG’s common stock.

In connection with high-profile bank failures, customer uncertainty and concern has been, and may be in the future, compounded by advances in technology that increase the speed at which deposits can be moved, as well as the speed and reach of media attention, including social media, and its ability to disseminate concerns or rumors, in each case potentially exacerbating liquidity concerns.

103

These recent events may also result in potentially adverse changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding companies or result in the imposition of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital requirements, which could have a material impact on our business. Inability to access short-term funding, loss of client deposits or changes in our credit ratings could increase the cost of funding, limit access to capital markets or negatively impact our overall liquidity or capitalization. We may be impacted by concerns regarding the soundness or creditworthiness of other financial institutions, which can cause substantial and cascading disruption within the financial markets and increased expenses. The cost of resolving the recent bank failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its premiums above the recently increased levels or to issue additional special assessments.

Any downgrade in the credit rating of the U.S. government or default by the U.S. government as a result of political conflicts over legislation to raise the U.S. government’s debt limit may have a material adverse effect on OFG

Recent federal budget deficit concerns and political conflict over legislation to raise the U.S. government’s debt limit have increased the possibility of a default by the U.S. government on its debt obligations, related credit-rating downgrades, or an economic recession in the United States. Many of our investment securities are issued by the U.S. government, including certain government agencies and sponsored entities. As a result of uncertain domestic political conditions, including the possibility of the federal government defaulting on its obligations for a period of time due to debt ceiling limitations or other unresolved political issues, investments in financial instruments issued or guaranteed by the federal government may pose liquidity risks. In connection with prior political disputes over U.S. fiscal and budgetary issues leading to the U.S. government shutdown in 2011, Standard & Poor’s lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. from AAA to AA+. A downgrade, or a similar action by other rating agencies, in response to current political dynamics, as well as sovereign debt issues facing the governments of other countries, could generally have a material adverse impact on financial markets and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide and, therefore, materially adversely affect OFG’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In January 2022, OFG announced the approval by its Board of Directors of a new stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of our common stock in the open market. Any shares of common stock repurchased are held by OFG as treasury shares. OFG 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, 2023, OFG repurchased 104,800 shares for a total of $2.9 million at an average price of $27.61 per share.

The table below sets forth the information with respect to purchases of our common stock made by or on behalf of OFG during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, excluding the months of January and February during which no shares were repurchased as part of the stock repurchase program:


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)
