Forward-Looking Information
This
 
Form 10-Q
 
contains “forward-looking
 
statements” within
 
the meaning
 
of the
 
U.S. Private
 
Securities Litigation
 
Reform Act
 
of
1995,
 
including,
 
without
 
limitation,
 
statements
 
about
 
Popular,
 
Inc.’s
 
(the
 
“Corporation,”
 
“Popular,”
 
“we,”
 
“us,”
 
“our”)
 
business,
financial condition, results
 
of operations, plans,
 
objectives and future
 
performance. These statements
 
are not
 
guarantees of future
performance,
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
management’s
 
current
 
expectations
 
and,
 
by
 
their
 
nature,
 
involve
 
risks,
 
uncertainties,
 
estimates
 
and
assumptions. Potential
 
factors, some
 
of which
 
are beyond
 
the Corporation’s
 
control, could
 
cause actual
 
results to
 
differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation the effect
of competitive and
 
economic factors, and our
 
reaction to those factors,
 
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 and regulatory proceedings and new accounting
 
standards on the Corporation’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.
 
Various factors, some of which
 
are beyond Popular’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
 
or
 
decline
 
in
 
the
 
economy
 
and
 
employment
 
levels,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
general
 
business
 
and
 
economic
conditions

the
 
geographic
 
areas
 
we
 
serve
 
and,
 
in
 
particular,
 
in
 
the
 
Commonwealth
 
of
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
(the
“Commonwealth” or “Puerto Rico”), where a significant
 
portion of our business is concentrated;
●
 
adverse
 
economic conditions,
 
including high
 
levels
 
of
 
and
 
ongoing increases
 
in
 
inflation
 
rates,
 
that
 
adversely
 
affect
housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence
 
and spending habits which may affect in turn, among
 
other things,
our 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, reduce loan
originations, affect
 
our ability
 
to originate
 
and distribute
 
financial products
 
in the
 
primary and
 
secondary markets
 
and
impact the value of our investment portfolio and
 
our ability to return capital to our shareholders;
●
 
changes
 
to
 
regulatory
 
capital,
 
liquidity
 
and
 
resolution-related
 
requirements
 
applicable

institutions
 
in
response to recent developments affecting the banking sector;
●
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
bank
 
failures

adverse
 
developments

coverage

the
banking industry in general on investor and depositor
 
sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of
 
banks;
●
 
the impact of the current fiscal and economic challenges of Puerto Rico and the
 
measures taken and to be taken by the
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Government

oversight
 
board
 
on
 
the
 
economy,
 
our
 
customers
 
and
 
our
business;
●

restructuring proceedings under Title III of the
 
Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and
Economic
 
Stability
 
Act
 
(“PROMESA”)

of
 
other
 
actions
 
taken
 
or
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
to
 
address
 
Puerto
 
Rico’s
 
fiscal
challenges on the value of our portfolio of Puerto Rico
 
government securities and loans to governmental entities and of
our
 
commercial,
 
mortgage

private
 
borrowers

be
 
directly
 
affected
 
by
governmental action;

amount of
 
Puerto Rico
 
public sector
 
deposits held
 
at
 
the Corporation,

uncertain and
difficult
 
to
 
predict
 
and
 
may
 
be
 
impacted
 
by
 
factors
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
Federal
 
funds
 
received
 
by
 
the
 
P.R.
Government in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and hurricane recovery assistance and the rate of expenditure

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared without audit. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition
data at
 
December 31,
 
2022 was
 
derived from
 
audited financial
 
statements. The
 
unaudited interim
 
financial statements
 
are, in
 
the
opinion
 
of
 
management,
 
a
 
fair
 
statement
 
of
 
the
 
results
 
for
 
the
 
periods
 
reported
 
and
 
include
 
all
 
necessary
 
adjustments,
 
all
 
of
 
a
normal recurring nature, for a fair statement of
 
such results.
 
Certain
 
information
 
and
 
note
 
disclosures
 
normally
 
included
 
in
 
financial
 
statements
 
prepared
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
accounting
principles
 
generally
 
accepted
 
in
 
the
 
United
 
States
 
of
 
America
 
have
 
been

statements
 
pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
rules
 
and
 
regulations
 
of
 
the
 
Securities
 
and
 
Exchange
 
Commission.
 
Accordingly,
 
these
 
financial
statements should be read in conjunction
 
with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the
 
Corporation for the year ended
December 31, 2022, included
 
in the 2022 Form
 
10-K. Operating results for
 
the interim periods disclosed
 
herein are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for
 
a full year or any future period.
The Corporation embarked on a
 
broad-based multi-year, technological and
 
business process transformation during the second
 
half
of 2022. The needs and expectations of
 
the Corporation’s clients, as well as
 
the competitive landscape, have evolved, requiring the
Corporation to
 
make
 
important
 
investments
 
in
 
its
 
technological infrastructure
 
and
 
adopt
 
more
 
agile
 
practices.
 
The
 
Corporation’s
technology and business transformation will be
 
a significant priority for the Corporation over the next
 
three years and beyond.
As
 
part
 
of
 
this
 
transformation,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
aims
 
to
 
expand
 
its
 
digital
 
capabilities,
 
modernize
 
our
 
technology
 
platform,
 
and
implement agile and
 
efficient business
 
processes across the
 
entire Corporation. To
 
facilitate the transparency
 
of the
 
progress with
the transformation initiative and to better portray the level of technology
 
related expenses categorized by the nature of the expense,
effective
 
in the
 
fourth quarter
 
of
 
2022,
 
the
 
Corporation has
 
separated technology,
 
professional fees
 
and
 
transactional and
 
items
processing related expenses as standalone expense categories in the
 
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. There
were no
 
changes to
 
the total
 
operating expenses
 
presented.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial
 
statements in conformity with
 
accounting principles generally accepted in
 
the United States
 
of America
requires management to make
 
estimates and assumptions that
 
affect the reported
 
amounts of assets and
 
liabilities and contingent
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
at
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements,
 
and
 
the
 
reported
 
amounts
 
of
 
revenues
 
and
 
expenses
 
during
 
the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The

March
2022,
 
which

January 1, 2023
The Corporation adopted ASU
 
2022-02
during
 
the
 
first
 
quarter
 
of
 
2023.
 
The
adoption
 
of
 
this
 
standard
 
resulted
 
in
enhanced disclosure for
 
loans modified
to
 
borrowers
 
with
 
financial
 
difficulties
and
 
the
 
disclosure
 
of
 
period
 
gross
charge
 
offs
 
by
 
vintage
 
year.
 
The
Corporation
 
anticipates
 
that
 
there
 
will
be
 
loans
 
subject
 
to
 
disclosure
 
under
the
 
new
 
standard
 
that
 
did
 
not
 
qualify
under
 
the
 
prior
 
guidance
 
given
 
the
removal of
 
the concession
 
requirement
for
 
such
 
disclosures.
 
The
 
amended
guidance eliminated
 
the requirement to
measure
 
the
 
effect
 
of
 
the
 
concession
from
 
a loan
 
modification, for
 
which the
Corporation
 
used
 
a
 
discounted
 
cash
flow
 
(“DCF”)
 
model.
 
The
 
impact
 
of
discontinuing the use of the DCF model
to
 
measure
 
the
 
concession
 
resulted in
a
 
release
 
of
 
the
 
allowance
 
for
 
credit
losses
 
("ACL")
 
of
 
$
46
 
million,
 
mainly
related
 
to
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
for
 
which
modifications
 
mostly
 
included
 
a
reduction
 
in
 
contractual
 
interest
 
rates
and
 
given
 
the
 
extended
 
maturity
 
term
of
 
these
 
loans,
 
this
 
resulted
 
in
 
an
increase
 
in
 
the
 
ACL
 
in
 
the
 
period
 
of
modification. For
 
the
 
transition
 
method
related
 
to
 
the
 
recognition
 
and
measurement of TDRs, the Corporation
has
 
elected
 
to
 
apply
 
the
 
modified
retrospective approach for the
 
adoption
of
 
this
 
standard.
 
Accordingly,
 
this
presented
 
an
 
adjustment
 
increase
 
of
$
29
 
million,
 
net
 
of
 
tax
 
effect,
 
to
 
the
beginning balance
 
of retained
 
earnings
on January 1, 2023.

Note 4 – Summary of significant accounting
 
policies
The
 
accounting
 
and
 
financial
 
reporting
 
policies
 
of
 
Popular,
 
Inc.
 
and
 
its
 
subsidiaries
 
(the
 
“Corporation”) conform
 
with
 
accounting
principles generally accepted
 
in the
 
United States of
 
America and with
 
prevailing practices within
 
the financial services
 
industry. A
description of the significant accounting and
 
financial reporting policies can be found on Note 2
 
to the 2022 Form 10-K.
 
In connection with the implementation of the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, the Corporation has modified its policy
related to
 
loan modifications.
 
As discussed
 
in Note
 
3, the
 
new accounting
 
guidance eliminates
 
the recognition
 
and measurement
principle of
 
TDRs.
 
The Corporation
 
has
 
also made
 
changes to
 
certain of
 
its
 
accounting policies
 
related to
 
its
 
loans portfolio
 
and
allowance for credit losses in connection with
 
this accounting standards update.
 
A
 
modification is
 
subject to
 
disclosure under
 
the new
 
ASU when
 
the Corporation
 
separately concludes
 
that both
 
of the
 
following
conditions exist:
 
1) the
 
debtor is experiencing
 
financial difficulties 2)
 
the modification constitutes
 
a reduction
 
in the
 
interest rate
 
on
the loan, a payment extension, a forgiveness of principal, or a more-than-insignificant payment delay. Determination that a borrower
is experiencing
 
financial difficulties
 
involves a
 
degree of
 
judgment. The identification
 
of loan
 
modifications to
 
debtors with financial
difficulties is critical in the determination of the adequacy
 
of the ACL.
 
The
 
ASU
 
also
 
eliminates
 
the
 
requirement to
 
use
 
a
 
DCF
 
approach
 
to
 
estimated
 
credit
 
losses
 
for
 
modified
 
loans
 
with
 
borrowers
experiencing financial difficulties. The
 
entity can apply
 
a methodology similar to
 
the one used for
 
loans that were not
 
modified. The
Corporation applied a modified retrospective transition method for the implementation of ASU 2022-02 which
 
resulted in a reduction
of approximately $
46
 
million, $
29
 
million net of tax, in the reserve which was recorded as an
 
adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings.
A loan
 
modified with
 
financial difficulties
 
is typically
 
in non-accrual
 
status at
 
the time
 
of the
 
modification. These
 
loans continue
 
in
non-accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated a willingness
 
and ability to make the restructured loan payments (at
 
least six
months of sustained performance after the modification (or one year for loans providing for quarterly or semi-annual payments)) and
management has concluded that it is probable
 
that the borrower would not be in payment
 
default in the foreseeable future.

additional
 
qualitative
 
information
 
on
 
loan
 
modifications
 
and
 
the
Corporation’s determination of the ACL.
Refer below for changes in accounting policies due
 
to the adoption of the new ASU and other
 
policy adoptions:
Loans
 
Effective on January 1, 2023,
 
newly originated mortgage loans held-for-sale are stated at fair
 
value, with changes recorded through
earnings.
 
Previously held-for-sale
 
were carried
 
at
 
the lower
 
of
 
its cost
 
or market
 
value. Fair
 
value is
 
generally determined
 
in the
aggregate and
 
is measured
 
based on
 
current market
 
prices for
 
similar loans,
 
outstanding investor
 
commitments, prices
 
of recent
sales
 
or
 
discounted
 
cash
 
flow
 
analyses
 
which
 
utilize
 
inputs
 
and
 
assumptions
 
which
 
are
 
believed
 
to
 
be
 
consistent
 
with
 
market
participants’ views.
 
Derivative instruments
Effective on
 
January 1,
 
2023, the
 
Corporation discontinued
 
the hedge
 
accounting treatment
 
of certain
 
forward contracts
 
for which
the
 
changes
 
in
 
fair
 
value
 
were
 
recorded,
 
net
 
of
 
taxes,
 
in
 
accumulated
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income/(loss)
 
and
 
subsequently
reclassified to net
 
income (loss) in
 
the same
 
period that the
 
hedged transaction impacted
 
earnings. As a
 
result of this
 
change, the
changes in the fair
 
value of these forward contracts
 
are being recorded through net
 
income (loss). The Corporation utilizes
 
forward
contracts to hedge the
 
sale of mortgage-backed securities with
 
duration terms over one month.
 
Interest rate forwards are contracts
for the delayed delivery of securities, which the seller agrees to deliver on a specified future
 
date at a specified price or yield. These
forward contracts are hedging a forecasted transaction
 
and thus qualify for cash flow hedge accounting.
 
 
Based
 
on
 
the
 
election
 
to
 
apply
 
fair
 
value
 
accounting
 
for
 
its
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
held
 
for
 
sale,
 
effective
 
on
 
January
 
1,
 
2023,
 
the
Corporation discontinued
 
the
 
hedge accounting
 
since
 
the
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
loans
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
offset
 
by
 
the
changes in the fair value of the forward
 
contract, both of which are now recorded through
 
net income (loss).

Note 5 - Restrictions on cash and due from
 
banks and certain securities
BPPR is
 
required by
 
regulatory agencies
 
to maintain
 
average reserve
 
balances with
 
the Federal
 
Reserve Bank
 
of New
 
York
 
(the
“Fed”) or
 
other banks. Those
 
required average reserve
 
balances amounted to
 
$
2.7
 
billion at June
 
30, 2023 (December
 
31, 2022
 
-
$
2.8
 
billion). Cash
 
and due
 
from banks,
 
as well
 
as other
 
highly liquid
 
securities, are
 
used to
 
cover the
 
required average
 
reserve
balances.
 
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation
 
held $
64
 
million in
 
restricted assets
 
in the
 
form of
 
funds deposited
 
in money
 
market accounts,
debt
 
securities
 
available
 
for
 
sale
 
and
 
equity
 
securities
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
80
 
million).
 
The
 
restricted
 
assets
 
held
 
in
 
debt
securities available for sale and equity securities consist primarily of assets
 
held for the Corporation’s non-qualified retirement plans
and fund deposits guaranteeing possible liens or encumbrances
 
over the title of insured properties.

As of
 
June 30, 2023,
 
the portfolio of
 
available-for-sale debt securities
 
reflects gross unrealized
 
losses of $
1.6
 
billion, driven mainly
by fixed-rate
 
U.S. Treasury
 
Securities and
 
mortgage-backed securities,
 
which have
 
been impacted
 
by a
 
decline in
 
fair value
 
as a
result of the rising interest rate environment.
 
The portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities is comprised mainly of U.S Treasuries
and obligations from the U.S. Government, its agencies or government sponsored entities, including FNMA, FHMLC and GNMA. As
discussed in
 
Note 2
 
to the
 
Consolidated Financial Statements
 
on the 2022
 
Form 10-K,
 
these securities carry
 
an explicit
 
or implicit
guarantee
 
from
 
the
 
U.S.
 
Government,
 
are
 
highly
 
rated
 
by
 
major
 
rating
 
agencies,
 
and
 
have
 
a
 
long
 
history
 
of
 
no
 
credit
 
losses.
Accordingly, the Corporation applies a zero-credit loss assumption and no ACL for
 
these securities has been established.
 
In October 2022, the
 
Corporation transferred U.S. Treasury securities
 
with a fair value
 
of $
6.5
 
billion (par value of
 
$
7.4
 
billion) from
its available-for-sale portfolio to its held-to-maturity portfolio.
 
Management changed its intent, given its ability to hold these securities
to maturity
 
due to
 
the Corporation’s
 
liquidity position
 
and its
 
intention to
 
reduce the
 
impact on
 
accumulated other
 
comprehensive
income (loss) (“AOCI”) and
 
tangible capital of further
 
increases in interest rates.
 
The securities were reclassified
 
at fair value at
 
the
time of the transfer. At the date of the transfer,
 
these securities had pre-tax unrealized losses of $
873
 
million recorded in AOCI. This
fair value
 
discount is
 
being accreted
 
to
 
interest income
 
and the
 
unrealized loss
 
remaining in
 
AOCI is
 
being amortized,
 
offsetting
each other through the remaining life of the securities.
 
There were no realized gains or losses recorded
 
as a result of this transfer.

discussed in Note 6.
[2]
Includes $
6.9
 
billion pledged to secure public and trust deposits that
 
the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge
 
the collateral. The
Corporation had unpledged held-to-maturities securities with
 
a fair value of
 
$
1.5
 
billion that could be used to increase its borrowing
 
facilities.
Debt securities not due on a single contractual maturity date,
 
such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period
of final
 
contractual maturity.
 
The expected
 
maturities of
 
collateralized mortgage
 
obligations and
 
certain other
 
securities may
 
differ
from their contractual maturities because they may be
 
subject to prepayments or may be called
 
by the issuer.
Credit Quality Indicators
The following describes the credit quality
 
indicators by major security type that
 
the Corporation considers in its’ estimate
 
to develop
the allowance for credit losses for investment securities
 
held-to-maturity.
As discussed in Note
 
2 to the Consolidated Financial
 
Statements on the 2022 Form
 
10-K, U.S. Treasury securities carry
 
an explicit
guarantee
 
from
 
the
 
U.S.
 
Government
 
are
 
highly
 
rated
 
by
 
major
 
rating
 
agencies,
 
and
 
have
 
a
 
long
 
history
 
of
 
no
 
credit
 
losses.
Accordingly, the Corporation applies a zero-credit loss assumption and no ACL for
 
these securities has been established.
At June
 
30, 2023
 
and December 31,
 
2022, the “Obligations
 
of Puerto
 
Rico, States and
 
political subdivisions” classified
 
as held-to-
maturity,
 
includes
 
securities
 
issued by
 
municipalities
 
of
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
that
 
are
 
generally
 
not
 
rated
 
by
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
agency.
 
This
includes $
22
 
million of general and special obligation bonds issued by three municipalities of Puerto Rico, that
 
are payable primarily
from
 
certain
 
property
 
taxes
 
imposed
 
by
 
the
 
issuing
 
municipality
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
25
 
million).
 
In
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
general
obligations, they
 
also benefit
 
from a
 
pledge of
 
the full
 
faith, credit
 
and unlimited
 
taxing power
 
of the
 
issuing municipality,
 
which is
required by law to levy property taxes in an amount sufficient for the payment of
 
debt service on such general obligation bonds. The
Corporation performs periodic credit quality
 
reviews of these securities and internally
 
assigns standardized credit risk ratings based
on its evaluation. The
 
Corporation considers these ratings in
 
its estimate to develop the
 
allowance for credit losses
 
associated with
these
 
securities.
 
For
 
the
 
definitions
 
of
 
the
 
obligor
 
risk
 
ratings,
 
refer
 
to
 
the
 
Credit
 
Quality
 
section
 
of
 
Note
 
9
 
to
 
the
 
Consolidated
Financial Statements.
The
 
following
 
presents
 
the
 
amortized
 
cost
 
basis
 
of
 
securities
 
held
 
by
 
the
 
Corporation
 
issued
 
by
 
municipalities
 
of
 
Puerto
 
Rico
aggregated by the internally assigned standardized
 
credit risk rating:

At June 30, 2023, the portfolio of “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States
 
and political subdivisions” also includes $
40
 
million in securities
issued
 
by
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Housing Finance
 
Authority
 
(“HFA”),
 
a
 
government
 
instrumentality,
 
for
 
which the
 
underlying source
 
of
payment
 
is
 
second
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
in
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
residential
 
properties
 
(not
 
the
 
government),
 
but
 
for
 
which
 
HFA,
 
provides
 
a
guarantee in
 
the event
 
of default
 
and upon
 
the satisfaction
 
of certain
 
other conditions
 
(December 31,
 
2022 -
 
$
42
 
million). These
securities
 
are
 
not
 
rated
 
by
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
agency.
 
The
 
Corporation assesses
 
the
 
credit
 
risk
 
associated
 
with
 
these
 
securities
 
by
evaluating
 
the
 
refreshed
 
FICO
 
scores
 
of
 
a
 
representative
 
sample
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
borrowers.
 
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
average
refreshed
 
FICO score
 
for the
 
representative sample,
 
comprised of
66
%
 
of
 
the
 
nominal value
 
of the
 
securities, used
 
for the
 
loss
estimate was
 
of
709
 
(compared to
65
%
 
and
707
,
 
respectively,
 
at December
 
31, 2022).
 
The
 
loss estimates
 
for this
 
portfolio was
based on the methodology established under CECL
 
for similar loan obligations. The Corporation does not
 
consider the government
guarantee when estimating the credit losses associated
 
with this portfolio.
A
 
further
 
deterioration
 
of
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
economy
 
or
 
of
 
the
 
fiscal
 
health
 
of
 
the
 
Government
 
of
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
and/or
 
its
instrumentalities (including if any of
 
the issuing municipalities become subject to
 
a debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA)
could further affect the value of these securities, resulting in losses
 
to the Corporation.
 
Refer to
 
Note 21
to the
 
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements
for additional
 
information on
 
the Corporation’s
 
exposure to
 
the Puerto
Rico Government.
At June 30, 2023, the
 
portfolio of “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States
 
and political subdivisions” also includes $
5
 
million in securities
issued by
 
the HFA
 
for which
 
the underlying
 
source of
 
payment is
 
U.S. Treasury
 
securities. The
 
Corporation applies
 
a
zero
-credit
loss assumption for these securities, and no ACL has been established for these securities given that U.S. Treasury securities carry
an explicit
 
guarantee from
 
the U.S.
 
Government, are
 
highly rated
 
by
 
major rating
 
agencies, and
 
have a
 
long history
 
of no
 
credit
losses. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
 
Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K for further
 
details.
Delinquency status
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were

It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential
 
mortgage loans insured by Federal Housing Administration
 
(“FHA”) or guaranteed by
the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
 
(“VA”) as accruing loans past
 
due 90 days or more as opposed to non-performing
 
since the principal
repayment is insured.
 
These balances include $
133
 
million of residential mortgage loans insured by
 
FHA or guaranteed by the VA that
 
are no
longer accruing interest as of June 30, 2023. Furthermore,
 
the Corporation has approximately $
39
 
million in reverse mortgage loans which are
guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest.
 
Due to the guaranteed nature of the loans, it is
 
the Corporation’s policy to
exclude these balances from non-performing assets.
[2]
Loans held-in-portfolio are net of $
324
 
million in unearned income and exclude $
55
 
million in loans held-for-sale.
[3]
Includes $
11
.0 billion pledged to secure credit facilities and public
 
funds that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or
 
repledge the collateral,
of which $
6.1
 
billion were pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank
 
("FHLB") as collateral for borrowings and $
4.9
 
billion at the Federal Reserve
Bank ("FRB") for discount window borrowings. The Corporation
 
had an available borrowing facility with the FHLB
 
and the discount window of
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
 
of $
3.4
 
billion and $
3.1
 
billion, respectively, as of June

It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential
 
mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed
 
by the VA as accruing loans
 
past due
90 days or more as opposed to non-performing since
 
the principal repayment is insured.
 
These balances also include $
190
 
million of residential
mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA
 
that are no longer accruing interest as of December
 
31, 2022. Furthermore, the
Corporation has approximately $
42
 
million in reverse mortgage loans which are guaranteed
 
by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest.
Due to the guaranteed nature of the loans, it is the Corporation’s
 
policy to exclude these balances from non-performing assets.
[2]
Loans held-in-portfolio are net of $
295
 
million in unearned income and exclude $
5
 
million in loans held-for-sale.
[3]
Includes $
7.4
 
billion pledged to secure credit facilities and public funds
 
that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or
 
repledge the collateral,
of which $
4.8
 
billion were pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank
 
(FHLB) as collateral for borrowings and $
2.6
 
billion at the Federal Reserve
Bank (FRB) for discount window borrowings. The Corporation
 
had an available borrowing facility with the FHLB and
 
the discount window of
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
 
of $
2.1
 
billion and $
1.4
 
billion, respectively, as of December
 
31, 2022.
Recognition of interest income on mortgage loans is generally discontinued when loans are 90 days or more in arrears on payments
of principal or interest. The Corporation discontinues the recognition of interest income on residential mortgage loans insured by the
FHA or
 
guaranteed by
 
VA
 
when 15
 
months delinquent
 
as to
 
principal or
 
interest, since
 
the principal
 
repayment on
 
these loans
 
is
insured.
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
mortgage loans
 
held-in-portfolio include
 
$
2.0
 
billion (December
 
31, 2022
 
- $
2.0
 
billion) of
 
loans insured
 
by the
FHA, or guaranteed by the VA of which $
0.3
 
billion (December 31, 2022 - $
0.3
 
billion) are 90 days or more past due. The portfolio of
guaranteed loans includes $
133
 
million of residential mortgage
 
loans in Puerto Rico
 
that are no longer
 
accruing interest as of
 
June
30, 2023
 
(December 31, 2022
 
- $
190
 
million). The Corporation
 
has approximately $
39
 
million in
 
reverse mortgage loans
 
in Puerto
Rico
 
which
 
are
 
guaranteed
 
by
 
FHA,
 
but
 
which
 
are
 
currently
 
not
 
accruing
 
interest
 
at
 
June
 
30,
 
2023
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
42
million).
Loans with a
 
delinquency status of 90
 
days past due
 
as of June
 
30, 2023 include
 
$
7
 
million in loans
 
previously pooled into
 
GNMA
securities
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
14
 
million).
 
Under
 
the
 
GNMA
 
program,
 
issuers
 
such
 
as
 
BPPR
 
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 on
 
the
 
financial statements
 
of BPPR
 
with
 
an
 
offsetting
 
liability.
 
Loans
 
in
 
our
 
serviced
 
GNMA
portfolio benefit
 
from payment
 
forbearance programs
 
but continue
 
to reflect
 
the contractual
 
delinquency until
 
the borrower
 
repays
deferred payments or completes a payment deferral
 
modification or other borrower assistance alternative.
 
The following tables present the amortized cost basis
 
of non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2023 and
 
December 31, 2022 by class of
loans:

Loans in
 
non-accrual status with
 
no allowance
 
at June
 
30, 2023 include
 
$
176
 
million in
 
collateral dependent loans
 
(December 31,
2022 -
 
$
177
 
million). The
 
Corporation recognized $
4
 
million in
 
interest income
 
on non-accrual
 
loans during
 
the six
 
months ended
June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022 - $
3
 
million).
The Corporation has
 
designated loans classified as
 
collateral dependent for
 
which the ACL
 
is measured based
 
on the fair
 
value of
the collateral less
 
cost to sell,
 
when foreclosure is
 
probable or when
 
the repayment is
 
expected to be
 
provided substantially by the
sale or
 
operation of
 
the collateral
 
and the
 
borrower is
 
experiencing financial
 
difficulty.
 
The fair
 
value of
 
the collateral
 
is based
 
on
appraisals, which may be
 
adjusted due to their
 
age, and the
 
type, location, and condition
 
of the property
 
or area or general
 
market
conditions to reflect the expected change in value between the effective date
 
of the appraisal and the measurement date. Appraisals
are updated every one to two years depending on
 
the type of loan and the total exposure of
 
the borrower.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis
 
of collateral-dependent loans, for which the ACL was measured
 
based on the
fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, by class
 
of loans and type of collateral as of June 30,
 
2023 and December 31, 2022:

Purchased Credit Deteriorated (PCD) Loans
The Corporation has purchased loans during
 
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 and
 
2022, for which there was, at
acquisition, evidence of more than insignificant deterioration
 
of credit quality since origination. The carrying amount
 
of those loans is

Note 9 – Allowance for credit losses – loans
 
held-in-portfolio
The
Corporation follows
 
the current
 
expected credit
 
loss
 
(“CECL”) model,
 
to
 
establish and
 
evaluate the
 
adequacy of
 
the ACL
 
to
provide for
 
expected losses
 
in the
 
loan portfolio.
 
This model
 
establishes a forward-looking
 
methodology that
 
reflects the
 
expected
credit losses over the lives of financial assets, starting when such
 
assets are first acquired or originated. In addition, CECL provides
that the initial ACL on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial
 
assets be recorded as an increase to the
 
purchase price, with
subsequent
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
allowance
 
recorded
 
as
 
a
 
credit
 
loss
 
expense.
 
The
 
provision
 
for
 
credit
 
losses
 
recorded
 
in
 
current
operations
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
this
 
methodology.
 
Loan
 
losses
 
are
 
charged
 
and
 
recoveries
 
are
 
credited
 
to
 
the
 
ACL.
 
The
 
Corporation’s
modeling framework includes competing
 
risk models that
 
generate lifetime default and
 
prepayment estimates as well
 
as other loan
level techniques to estimate loss severity.
 
These models combine credit risk factors, which include the
 
impact of loan modifications,
with macroeconomic expectations to derive the
 
lifetime expected loss.
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation
 
estimated the
 
ACL by
 
weighting the
 
outputs of
 
optimistic, baseline,
 
and pessimistic
 
scenarios.
Among the
 
three scenarios used
 
to estimate
 
the ACL, the
 
baseline is
 
assigned the highest
 
probability,
 
followed by the
 
pessimistic
scenario given the
 
uncertainties in the
 
economic outlook and
 
downside risk. The
 
weightings applied are subject
 
to evaluation on
 
a
quarterly basis
 
as part
 
of the
 
ACL’s
 
governance process. During
 
the second
 
quarter 2023,
 
due to
 
positive trends, the
 
Corporation
lowered the
 
probability weights assigned
 
to the
 
pessimistic scenario and
 
increased the probability
 
weight assigned to
 
the baseline
scenario,
 
prompting
 
a
 
reserve
 
release
 
of
 
$
5.8
 
million.
 
The
 
baseline
 
scenario
 
continues
 
to
 
be
 
assigned
 
the
 
highest
 
probability,
followed by the
 
pessimistic scenario, and
 
then the
 
optimistic scenario.
 
The Corporation evaluates,
 
at least on
 
an annual basis,
 
the
assumptions tied to the CECL accounting framework. These include the reasonable and supportable period as well as the reversion
window.
The
 
2023
 
annualized
 
GDP
 
growth
 
in
 
the
 
baseline
 
scenario
 
stands
 
at
 
1.5%
 
and
 
1.6%
 
for
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
and
 
the
 
United
 
States,
respectively, compared to 2.1% and 1.3%
 
in the previous quarter. The 2023 forecasted average unemployment rate for
 
Puerto Rico
improved to
 
6.3% from
 
6.9% in
 
the previous
 
forecast, while
 
in the
 
United States
 
unemployment levels
 
remained stable
 
at
 
3.6%,
compared to 3.5% in the previous forecast.
The following tables
 
present the changes
 
in the ACL
 
of loans
 
held-in-portfolio and unfunded
 
commitments for the
 
quarters and six
months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

it is probable
 
that the
borrower would not be in payment default in the
 
foreseeable future.

Legacy TDR Modifications
A modification of
 
a loan, prior
 
to ASU 2022-02,
 
constituted a troubled
 
debt restructuring (TDR)
 
when a borrower
 
was experiencing
financial difficulty
 
and the
 
modification constituted
 
a concession.
 
For a
 
summary of
 
the legacy
 
accounting policy
 
related to
 
TDRs,
refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
included in Note 2 to the 2022 Form 10-K.
The outstanding
 
balance of
 
loans classified
 
as TDRs
 
amounted to
 
$
1.6
 
billion at
 
December 31,
 
2022. The
 
amount of
 
outstanding
commitments to
 
lend additional
 
funds to
 
debtors owing
 
loans whose
 
terms have
 
been modified
 
in TDRs
 
amounted to
 
$
12
 
million
related to the commercial loan portfolio at December 31,
 
2022.
The following table presents
 
the outstanding balance of
 
loans classified as TDRs
 
according to their accruing
 
status and the related
allowance at December 31, 2022.

Credit Quality
The risk
 
rating system
 
provides for
 
the assignment
 
of ratings
 
at the
 
obligor level
 
based on
 
the financial
 
condition of
 
the borrower.
The
 
risk rating
 
analysis process
 
is
 
performed at
 
least
 
once a
 
year
 
or more
 
frequently if
 
events or
 
conditions change
 
which may
deteriorate the credit quality.
 
In the case of
 
consumer and mortgage loans, these
 
loans are classified considering their
 
delinquency
status at the end of the reporting period.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis, net of unearned income, of
 
loans held-in-portfolio based on the Corporation’s
assignment of obligor risk ratings as defined at June 30,
 
2023 and December 31, 2022 and the gross write-offs
 
recorded by vintage
year.
 
For
 
the
 
definitions

Note 11 – Transfers of financial assets and mortgage servicing assets
The
 
Corporation
 
typically
 
transfers
 
conforming
 
residential
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
in
 
conjunction
 
with
 
GNMA,
 
FNMA
 
and
 
FHLMC
securitization transactions
 
whereby the
 
loans are
 
exchanged for
 
cash or
 
securities and
 
servicing rights.
 
As seller,
 
the Corporation
has made
 
certain representations
 
and warranties
 
with respect
 
to the
 
originally transferred
 
loans and,
 
in the
 
past,
 
has sold
 
certain
loans
 
with
 
credit
 
recourse
 
to
 
a
 
government-sponsored
 
entity,
 
namely
 
FNMA.
 
Refer
 
to
 
Note
 
20
 
to
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
Financial
Statements for a description of such arrangements.
 
No
 
liabilities were
 
incurred as
 
a result
 
of these
 
securitizations during the
 
quarters and
 
six months
 
ended June 30,
 
2023 and
 
2022

During the six
 
months ended June
 
30, 2023, the
 
Corporation retained servicing
 
rights on whole
 
loan sales involving
 
approximately
$
27
 
million in principal balance outstanding (June 30, 2022 - $
33
 
million), with net realized gains of approximately $
0.5
 
million (June
30, 2022 - gains of
 
$
0.4
 
million). All loan sales performed during the six
 
months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
 
were without credit
recourse agreements.
 
The Corporation recognizes as assets the rights to service loans for others,
 
whether these rights are purchased or result from asset
transfers such as sales and securitizations. These mortgage
 
servicing rights (“MSRs”) are measured at
 
fair value.
The
 
Corporation
 
uses
 
a
 
discounted
 
cash
 
flow
 
model
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
MSRs.
 
The
 
discounted
 
cash
 
flow
 
model
incorporates
 
assumptions
 
that
 
market
 
participants
 
would
 
use
 
in
 
estimating
 
future
 
net
 
servicing
 
income,
 
including
 
estimates
 
of
prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, prepayment and late
fees, among other considerations. Prepayment speeds are
 
adjusted for the loans’ characteristics and portfolio behavior.
 
The following table
 
presents the changes
 
in MSRs measured
 
using the fair
 
value method for
 
the six months
 
ended June 30,
 
2023
and 2022.

million (June 30, 2022 - $
2.0
 
million).
During the
 
quarter ended June
 
30,2023, the Corporation
 
terminated a servicing
 
agreement,
 
in which
 
it acted
 
as sub-servicer for
 
a
third
 
party,
 
for
 
a
 
portfolio
 
with
 
an
 
unpaid
 
principal
 
balance
 
of
 
approximately
 
$
260
 
million
 
and
 
a
 
related
 
MSR
 
fair
 
value
 
of
approximately $
2
 
million.
 
The transaction did not result in a material
 
effect on the financial results of the Corporation.
Residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $
10.4
 
billion at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022
 
-$
11.1
 
billion).
Net mortgage servicing fees, a component of mortgage banking activities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, include the
changes from period to period in the fair value of the MSRs, including changes due to collection / realization of expected cash flows.
The banking
 
subsidiaries receive servicing
 
fees based
 
on a
 
percentage of the
 
outstanding loan balance.
 
These servicing fees
 
are
credited to income
 
when they are collected.
 
At June 30,
 
2023, those weighted average
 
mortgage servicing fees were
0.31
% (June

subsidiaries do not generally earn significant prepayment
 
penalty
fees on the underlying loans serviced.

The sensitivity analyses presented in the table above for servicing rights are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the
figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10 and 20 percent 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 the sensitivity tables
included herein, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without
changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market
interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
serviced
 
$
0.6
 
billion
 
in
 
residential
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
with
 
credit
 
recourse
 
to
 
the
 
Corporation
(December 31, 2022 - $
0.6
 
billion). Also refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on changes in the
Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans
 
serviced with credit recourse.
Under the GNMA
 
securitizations, the Corporation, as
 
servicer, has
 
the right to
 
repurchase (but not the
 
obligation), at its
 
option and
without
 
GNMA’s
 
prior
 
authorization,
 
any
 
loan
 
that
 
is
 
collateral
 
for
 
a
 
GNMA
 
guaranteed
 
mortgage-backed
 
security
 
when
 
certain
delinquency
 
criteria
 
are
 
met.
 
At
 
the
 
time
 
that
 
individual
 
loans
 
meet
 
GNMA’s
 
specified
 
delinquency
 
criteria
 
and
 
are
 
eligible
 
for
repurchase, the Corporation is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans if the Corporation was the pool issuer. At
June 30,
 
2023, the
 
Corporation had
 
recorded $
7
 
million in
 
mortgage loans
 
on its
 
Consolidated Statements
 
of Financial
 
Condition
related
 
to
 
this
 
buy-back
 
option
 
program
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
14
 
million).
 
Loans
 
in
 
our
 
serviced
 
GNMA
 
portfolio
 
benefit from
payment forbearance programs
 
but continue to
 
reflect the contractual
 
delinquency until the
 
borrower repays deferred
 
payments or
completes a payment deferral modification or other borrower assistance alternative. As long as the Corporation continues to service
the
 
loans
 
that
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
collateral
 
in
 
a
 
GNMA
 
guaranteed
 
mortgage-backed
 
security,
 
the
 
MSR
 
is
 
recognized
 
by
 
the
Corporation.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Corporation repurchased approximately $
24
 
million (June 30, 2022 - $
35
 
million) of
mortgage
 
loans
 
from
 
its
 
GNMA
 
servicing
 
portfolio.
 
The
 
determination
 
to
 
repurchase
 
these
 
loans
 
was
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
economic
benefits of the
 
transaction, which results in
 
a reduction of
 
the servicing costs
 
for these severely
 
delinquent loans, mainly
 
related to
principal and interest advances. The risk associated with
 
the loans is reduced due to their
 
guaranteed nature. The Corporation may
place these loans under modification programs offered by FHA, VA or United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
 
or other loss
mitigation programs offered by the Corporation,
 
and once brought back to current status, these may be either retained in portfolio or
re-sold in the secondary market.

At June 30, 2023, the Corporation had brokered
 
deposits amounting to $
1.5
 
billion (December 31, 2022 - $
1.1
 
billion).
The aggregate amount
 
of overdrafts in
 
demand deposit accounts that
 
were reclassified to
 
loans was $
6.3
 
million at June
 
30, 2023
(December 31, 2022 - $
6.3
 
million).
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
public sector
 
deposits
 
amounted to
 
$
18.5
 
billion.
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
public sector
 
deposits
 
are
 
interest
bearing
 
accounts.
 
Public
 
deposit
 
balances
 
are
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict.
 
For
 
example,
 
the
 
receipt
 
by
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Government
 
of
hurricane recovery related Federal assistance and seasonal
 
tax collections could increase public deposit balances at BPPR.
 
On the
other hand,
 
the amount and
 
timing of
 
reductions in balances
 
are likely to
 
be impacted by,
 
for example, the
 
speed at
 
which federal
assistance is
 
distributed,
 
the financial
 
condition, liquidity
 
and cash
 
management practices
 
of the
 
Puerto Rico
 
Government and
 
its
instrumentalities
 
and
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
fiscal
 
and
 
debt
 
adjustment
 
plans
 
approved
 
pursuant
 
to
 
PROMESA
 
or
 
other
 
actions
mandated
 
by
 
the
 
Fiscal
 
Oversight
 
and
 
Management
 
Board
 
for
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
(the
 
“Oversight
 
Board”).
 
Generally,
 
these
 
deposits
require
 
that
 
the
 
bank
 
pledge
 
high
 
credit
 
quality
 
securities
 
as
 
collateral, therefore,
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
arising from
 
public
 
sector
 
deposit
outflows are lower.

Note 16 – Borrowings
Assets sold under agreements to repurchase
Assets sold under agreements to repurchase amounted
 
to $
123
 
million at June 30, 2023 and $
149
 
million at December 31, 2022.
The Corporation’s
 
repurchase transactions are
 
overcollateralized with the
 
securities detailed in
 
the table
 
below.
 
The Corporation’s
repurchase
 
agreements
 
have
 
a
 
right
 
of
 
set-off
 
with
 
the
 
respective
 
counterparty
 
under
 
the
 
supplemental
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
master
repurchase agreements.
 
In an
 
event of
 
default,
 
each party
 
has a
 
right of
 
set-off
 
against the
 
other party
 
for amounts
 
owed in
 
the
related
 
agreement
 
and
 
any
 
other
 
amount
 
or
 
obligation
 
owed
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
any
 
other
 
agreement
 
or
 
transaction
 
between
 
them.
Pursuant to the
 
Corporation’s accounting policy,
 
the repurchase agreements
 
are not offset
 
with other repurchase
 
agreements held
with the same counterparty.
The following table
 
presents information related to
 
the Corporation’s repurchase
 
transactions accounted for as
 
secured borrowings
that are collateralized with
 
debt securities available-for-sale, debt securities
 
held-to-maturity, other assets
 
held-for-trading purposes
or which have been obtained under agreements to resell.
 
It is the Corporation’s policy to maintain effective control over assets
 
sold
under agreements
 
to repurchase;
 
accordingly,
 
such securities
 
continue to
 
be carried
 
on the
 
Consolidated Statements
 
of Financial
Condition.

Repurchase agreements in this portfolio
 
are generally short-term, often overnight.
 
As such our risk
 
is very limited.
 
We manage the
liquidity risks arising from secured
 
funding by sourcing funding globally from
 
a diverse group of counterparties, providing
 
a range of
securities collateral and pursuing longer durations,
 
when appropriate.

There were
no

At June 30, 2023 and
 
December 31, 2022, the Corporation had FHLB borrowing facilities whereby the
 
Corporation could borrow up
to $
4.1
 
billion and
 
$
3.3
 
billion, respectively,
 
of which
 
$
0.4
 
billion and
 
$
0.8
 
billion, respectively,
 
were used.
 
In addition,
 
at June
 
30,
2023 and
 
December 31,
 
2022, the
 
Corporation had
 
placed $
0.3
 
billion and
 
$
0.4
 
billion, respectively,
 
of the
 
available FHLB
 
credit
facility as collateral for
 
municipal letters of credit
 
to secure deposits. The
 
FHLB borrowing facilities are
 
collateralized with securities
and loans held-in-portfolio, and do not have restrictive
 
covenants or callable features.
 
Also, at June
 
30, 2023, the
 
Corporation has a
 
borrowing facility at
 
the discount window
 
of the
 
Federal Reserve Bank
 
of New York
amounting to
 
$
3.1
 
billion (December
 
31, 2022
 
- $
1.4
 
billion), which
 
remained unused
 
at June
 
30, 2023
 
and December
 
31, 2022.
 
The facility is a collateralized source of credit that
 
is highly reliable even under difficult market conditions.

Note 20 – Guarantees
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
Corporation recorded
 
a
 
liability
 
of
 
$
0.3
 
million
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
0.3
 
million),
 
which
 
represents
 
the
unamortized balance of the obligations
 
undertaken in issuing the
 
guarantees under the standby letters of
 
credit. Management does
not anticipate any material losses related to these
 
instruments.
From time to time, the Corporation securitized mortgage loans into guaranteed mortgage-backed securities subject to limited, and in
certain instances, lifetime credit
 
recourse on the loans
 
that serve as
 
collateral for the
 
mortgage-backed securities. The Corporation
has
 
not sold
 
any
 
mortgage
 
loans subject
 
to
 
credit
 
recourse since
 
2009.
 
At
 
June
 
30, 2023,
 
the
 
Corporation serviced
 
$
0.6
 
billion
(December 31,
 
2022 -
 
$
0.6
 
billion) in residential
 
mortgage loans
 
subject to
 
credit recourse
 
provisions, principally loans
 
associated
with FNMA
 
and FHLMC
 
residential mortgage
 
loan securitization
 
programs. In
 
the event
 
of any
 
customer default,
 
pursuant to
 
the
credit recourse
 
provided, the
 
Corporation is
 
required to
 
repurchase the
 
loan or
 
reimburse the
 
third party
 
investor for
 
the incurred
loss.
 
The
 
maximum
 
potential
 
amount
 
of
 
future
 
payments
 
that
 
the
 
Corporation
 
would
 
be
 
required
 
to
 
make
 
under
 
the
 
recourse
arrangements
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
nonperformance by
 
the
 
borrowers
 
is
 
equivalent
 
to
 
the
 
total
 
outstanding
 
balance
 
of
 
the
 
residential
mortgage
 
loans serviced
 
with
 
recourse
 
and
 
interest, if
 
applicable. During
 
the
 
quarter and
 
six
 
months
 
ended June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
Corporation repurchased
 
approximately $
0.6
 
million and
 
$
1.4
 
million, respectively,
 
of unpaid
 
principal balance
 
in mortgage
 
loans
subject to the credit recourse provisions (June 30, 2022
-
$
2
 
million and $
5
 
million, respectively).
 
In the event of nonperformance by
the borrower,
 
the Corporation
 
has rights
 
to the
 
underlying collateral
 
securing the
 
mortgage loan.
 
The Corporation
 
suffers ultimate
losses on these loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage loan are less than
the
 
outstanding principal
 
balance of
 
the
 
loan plus
 
any
 
uncollected interest
 
advanced and
 
the costs
 
of
 
holding and
 
disposing the
related
 
property.
 
At
 
June 30,
 
2023, the
 
Corporation’s liability
 
established to
 
cover
 
the
 
estimated credit
 
loss exposure
 
related to
loans sold or serviced with credit recourse amounted
 
to $
6
 
million (December 31, 2022 - $
7
 
million).
The following table shows the changes in the Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans serviced with credit recourse
provisions during the quarters and six months ended
 
June 30, 2023 and 2022.

From time
 
to
 
time, the
 
Corporation sells
 
loans and
 
agrees to
 
indemnify the
 
purchaser for
 
credit
 
losses or
 
any
 
breach of
 
certain
representations and warranties
 
made in
 
connection with
 
the sale.
 
The loan
 
repurchase activity under
 
these indemnity
 
agreements
for the
 
quarter and six
 
months ended June
 
30, 2023
 
as well
 
as the liability
 
for estimated losses
 
at period end
 
was not
 
considered
material for the Corporation..
Servicing agreements
 
relating to
 
the mortgage-backed
 
securities programs
 
of FNMA,
 
FHLMC and
 
GNMA, and
 
to mortgage
 
loans
sold or serviced to certain other investors, including FHLMC,
 
require the Corporation to advance funds to
 
make scheduled payments
of
 
principal, interest,
 
taxes
 
and
 
insurance, if
 
such
 
payments have
 
not
 
been
 
received from
 
the
 
borrowers.
 
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023, the
Corporation serviced
 
$
10.4
 
billion in
 
mortgage loans
 
for third-parties,
 
including the
 
loans serviced
 
with credit
 
recourse (December
31, 2022
 
- $
11.1
 
billion). The
 
Corporation generally
 
recovers funds
 
advanced pursuant
 
to these
 
arrangements from
 
the mortgage
owner, from
 
liquidation proceeds when the
 
mortgage loan is foreclosed
 
or, in
 
the case of
 
FHA/VA loans,
 
under the applicable FHA
and
 
VA
 
insurance
 
and
 
guarantees
 
programs.
 
However,
 
in
 
the
 
meantime,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
must
 
absorb
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
funds
 
it
advances
 
during
 
the
 
time
 
the
 
advance
 
is
 
outstanding.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
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 the Corporation would
 
not receive any future servicing income with respect
 
to that loan. At June
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
outstanding
 
balance
 
of
 
funds
 
advanced
 
by
 
the
 
Corporation under
 
such
 
mortgage
 
loan
 
servicing
 
agreements
 
was
approximately
 
$
53
 
million
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
42
 
million).
 
To
 
the
 
extent
 
the
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
underlying
 
the
 
Corporation’s
servicing portfolio experience
 
increased delinquencies, the Corporation
 
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.
Popular,

Note 21 – Commitments and contingencies
Off-balance sheet risk
The Corporation
 
is a
 
party to
 
financial instruments
 
with off-balance
 
sheet credit
 
risk in
 
the normal
 
course of
 
business to
 
meet the
financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments
 
include loan commitments, letters of credit and standby
 
letters of credit.
These instruments involve,
 
to varying
 
degrees, elements of
 
credit and
 
interest rate
 
risk in
 
excess of
 
the amount
 
recognized in
 
the
consolidated statements of financial condition.
The
 
Corporation’s
 
exposure
 
to
 
credit
 
loss
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
nonperformance
 
by
 
the
 
other
 
party
 
to
 
the
 
financial
 
instrument
 
for
commitments to extend credit, standby
 
letters of credit and financial
 
guarantees is represented by the
 
contractual notional amounts
of those instruments. The
 
Corporation uses the same
 
credit policies in
 
making these commitments and conditional
 
obligations as it
does for those reflected on the consolidated statements
 
of financial condition.
Financial instruments with
 
off-balance sheet credit
 
risk, whose contract
 
amounts represent potential credit
 
risk as of
 
the end of
 
the
periods presented were as follows:

At June

and December

the Corporation
 
maintained a
 
reserve of
 
approximately $
11.6
 
million and
 
$
8.8
 
million,
respectively, for potential losses associated with unfunded loan commitments
 
related to commercial
 
and construction lines of credit.
Other commitments
At June
 
30, 2023
 
and December 31,
 
2022, the
 
Corporation also
 
maintained other
 
non-credit commitments for
 
approximately $
4.8
million, primarily for the acquisition of other investments.
 
Business concentration
Since the Corporation’s business activities are concentrated primarily in Puerto Rico, its results of operations and financial condition
are dependent
 
upon the
 
general trends
 
of the
 
Puerto Rico
 
economy and,
 
in particular,
 
the residential
 
and commercial
 
real estate
markets. The concentration
 
of the Corporation’s
 
operations in Puerto Rico
 
exposes it to
 
greater risk than other
 
banking companies
with a wider geographic base. Its
 
asset and revenue composition by geographical area
 
is presented in Note 33
 
to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
has
 
faced
 
significant
 
fiscal
 
and
 
economic
 
challenges
 
for
 
over
 
a
 
decade.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
such
 
challenges,
 
the
 
U.S.
Congress enacted the
 
Puerto Rico Oversight
 
Management and Economic Stability
 
Act (“PROMESA”) in
 
2016, which, among
 
other
things,
 
established
 
the
 
Oversight
 
Board
 
and
 
a
 
framework
 
for
 
the
 
restructuring
 
of
 
the
 
debts
 
of
 
the
 
Commonwealth,
 
its
instrumentalities and
 
municipalities.
 
The
 
Commonwealth and
 
several
 
of
 
its
 
instrumentalities have
 
commenced
 
debt
 
restructuring
proceedings under
 
PROMESA. As
 
of the
 
date of
 
this report,
 
while municipalities
 
have been
 
designated as
 
covered entities
 
under
PROMESA,
 
no
 
municipality
 
has
 
commenced,
 
or
 
has
 
been
 
authorized
 
by
 
the
 
Oversight
 
Board
 
to
 
commence,
 
any
 
such
 
debt
restructuring proceeding under PROMESA.
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
direct
 
exposure
 
to
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
government
 
and
 
its
 
instrumentalities
 
and
 
municipalities
totaled $
380
 
million, of which
 
$
351
 
million were outstanding
 
($
374
 
million and $
327
 
million at December
 
31, 2022). Of
 
the amount
outstanding,
 
$
325
 
million
 
consists
 
of
 
loans
 
and
 
$
26
 
million
 
are
 
securities
 
($
302
 
million
 
and
 
$
25
 
million
 
at
 
December 31,
 
2022).
Substantially all
 
of the
 
amount outstanding
 
at June
 
30, 2023
 
and December
 
31, 2022
 
were obligations
 
from various
 
Puerto Rico
municipalities. In most cases, these were “general obligations” of a municipality, to which
 
the applicable municipality has pledged its
good
 
faith,
 
credit
 
and
 
unlimited taxing
 
power,
 
or
 
“special
 
obligations”
 
of
 
a
 
municipality,
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
applicable
 
municipality
 
has
pledged other revenues. At June 30, 2023,
74
% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and
 
securities was concentrated in
the
 
municipalities
 
of
 
San
 
Juan,
 
Guaynabo,
 
Carolina
 
and
 
Caguas.
 
In
 
July
 
2023,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
received
 
scheduled
 
principal
payments amounting to $
34
 
million from various obligations from Puerto
 
Rico municipalities.

In addition,
 
at June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation had
 
$
240
 
million in
 
loans insured
 
or securities issued
 
by Puerto
 
Rico governmental
entities but for
 
which the principal
 
source of
 
repayment is non-governmental
 
($
251
 
million at December
 
31, 2022). These
 
included
$
199
 
million
 
in
 
residential
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
insured
 
by
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Housing
 
Finance
 
Authority
 
(“HFA”),
 
a
 
governmental
instrumentality
 
that
 
has
 
been
 
designated
 
as
 
a
 
covered
 
entity
 
under
 
PROMESA
 
(December
 
31,
 
2022
 
-
 
$
209
 
million).
 
These
mortgage loans
 
are secured
 
by first
 
mortgages on
 
Puerto Rico
 
residential properties
 
and the
 
HFA
 
insurance covers
 
losses in
 
the
event of
 
a borrower default
 
and upon
 
the satisfaction
 
of certain
 
other conditions. The
 
Corporation also had
 
at June
 
30, 2023,
 
$
40
million in
 
bonds issued by
 
HFA which
 
are secured by
 
second mortgage loans
 
on Puerto Rico
 
residential properties, and
 
for which
HFA also provides
 
insurance to cover losses in the
 
event of a borrower default and
 
upon the satisfaction of certain other
 
conditions
(December 31,
 
2022 -
 
$
42
 
million). In
 
the event
 
that the
 
mortgage loans
 
insured by
 
HFA
 
and held
 
by the
 
Corporation directly
 
or
those serving
 
as collateral
 
for the
 
HFA
 
bonds default
 
and the
 
collateral is
 
insufficient to
 
satisfy the
 
outstanding balance
 
of these
loans,
 
HFA’s
 
ability
 
to
 
honor
 
its
 
insurance
 
will
 
depend, among
 
other factors,
 
on
 
the
 
financial
 
condition
 
of
 
HFA
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
such
obligations
 
become
 
due
 
and
 
payable. The
 
Corporation does
 
not consider
 
the
 
government guarantee
 
when
 
estimating the
 
credit
losses
 
associated
 
with
 
this
 
portfolio.
 
Although
 
the
 
Governor
 
is
 
currently
 
authorized
 
by
 
local
 
legislation
 
to
 
impose
 
a
 
temporary
moratorium on the financial obligations of the HFA, a moratorium on
 
such obligations has not been imposed as of
 
the date hereof.
 
BPPR’s
 
commercial loan
 
portfolio also
 
includes loans
 
to
 
private borrowers
 
who
 
are service
 
providers, lessors,
 
suppliers or
 
have
other relationships with the government. These
 
borrowers could be negatively affected by
 
the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis and
 
the
ongoing
 
Title
 
III
 
proceedings
 
under
 
PROMESA.
 
Similarly,
 
BPPR’s
 
mortgage
 
and
 
consumer
 
loan
 
portfolios
 
include
 
loans
 
to
government
 
employees
 
and
 
retirees,
 
which
 
could
 
also
 
be
 
negatively
 
affected
 
by
 
fiscal
 
measures
 
such
 
as
 
employee
 
layoffs
 
or
furloughs or reductions in pension benefits.
 
In
 
addition, $
1.6
 
billion of
 
residential mortgages,
 
$
12
 
million of
 
Small Business
 
Administration (“SBA”)
 
loans under
 
the Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”) and
 
$
71
 
million commercial loans were
 
insured or guaranteed
 
by the U.S.
 
Government or its agencies
at June 30,
 
2023 (compared to $
1.6
 
billion, $
38
 
million and $
72
 
million, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2022).
 
The Corporation also
had U.S. Treasury
 
and obligations from the
 
U.S. Government, its
 
agencies or government sponsored
 
entities within the
 
portfolio of
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities as described
 
in Note 6 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial
 
Statements.
At June 30, 2023, the Corporation has operations in the United States Virgin Islands (the “USVI”) and has approximately $
28
 
million
in direct
 
exposure to
 
USVI government entities
 
(December 31, 2022
 
- $
28
 
million). The
 
USVI has
 
been experiencing a
 
number of
fiscal and economic challenges
 
that could adversely
 
affect the ability
 
of its public
 
corporations and instrumentalities to
 
service their
outstanding debt obligations.
 
At June 30, 2023, the
 
Corporation has operations in the British
 
Virgin Islands (“BVI”), which
 
was negatively affected by the
 
COVID-
19 pandemic, particularly as a
 
reduction in the tourism activity
 
which accounts for a significant
 
portion of its economy.
 
Although the
92
Corporation has
 
no significant
 
exposure to
 
a single
 
borrower in
 
the BVI,
 
it has
 
a loan
 
portfolio amounting
 
to approximately
 
$
207
million comprised of various retail and commercial
 
clients, compared to a loan portfolio of $
214
 
million at December 31, 2022.
Legal Proceedings
The
 
nature
 
of
 
Popular’s
 
business
 
ordinarily
 
generates
 
claims,
 
litigation,
 
investigations,
 
and
 
legal
 
and
 
administrative
 
cases
 
and
proceedings
 
(collectively,
 
“Legal Proceedings”).
 
When the
 
Corporation determines
 
that
 
it
 
has
 
meritorious
 
defenses to
 
the
 
claims
asserted, it vigorously defends itself. The Corporation will consider the settlement of cases (including cases where it has meritorious
defenses) when, in management’s judgment, it
 
is in the best
 
interest of the Corporation and
 
its stockholders to do so.
 
On at least a
quarterly basis, Popular assesses its liabilities and contingencies relating
 
to outstanding Legal Proceedings utilizing the most current
information
 
available.
 
For
 
matters
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
probable
 
that
 
the
 
Corporation
 
will
 
incur
 
a
 
material
 
loss
 
and
 
the
 
amount
 
can
 
be
reasonably estimated,
 
the Corporation
 
establishes an
 
accrual for
 
the loss.
 
Once established,
 
the accrual
 
is adjusted
 
on at
 
least a
quarterly
 
basis
 
to
 
reflect
 
any
 
relevant
 
developments,
 
as
 
appropriate.
 
For
 
matters
 
where
 
a
 
material
 
loss
 
is
 
not
 
probable,
 
or
 
the
amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated,
 
no accrual is established.
 
In certain cases,
 
exposure to loss
 
exists in
 
excess of any
 
accrual to the
 
extent such loss
 
is reasonably possible,
 
but not
 
probable.
Management believes and
 
estimates that the
 
range of reasonably
 
possible losses (with
 
respect to those
 
matters where such
 
limits
may be determined, in excess of amounts accrued)
 
for current Legal Proceedings ranged from $
0
 
to approximately $
20.1
 
million as
of June
 
30, 2023.
 
In certain
 
cases, management cannot
 
reasonably estimate the
 
possible loss
 
at this
 
time. Any
 
estimate involves
significant
 
judgment,
 
given
 
the
 
varying
 
stages
 
of
 
the
 
Legal
 
Proceedings
 
(including
 
the
 
fact
 
that
 
many
 
of
 
them
 
are
 
currently
 
in
preliminary stages), the existence of multiple defendants in several of the current Legal Proceedings whose share of liability has yet
to be
 
determined, the
 
numerous unresolved issues
 
in many
 
of the
 
Legal Proceedings,
 
and the
 
inherent uncertainty
 
of the
 
various
potential
 
outcomes
 
of
 
such
 
Legal
 
Proceedings.
 
Accordingly,
 
management’s
 
estimate
 
will
 
change
 
from
 
time-to-time,
 
and
 
actual
losses may be more or less than the current estimate.
 
While the
 
outcome of
 
Legal Proceedings
 
is inherently
 
uncertain, based
 
on information
 
currently available,
 
advice of
 
counsel, and
available
 
insurance
 
coverage,
 
management
 
believes
 
that
 
the
 
amount
 
it
 
has
 
already
 
accrued
 
is
 
adequate
 
and
 
any
 
incremental
liability arising from
 
the Legal Proceedings
 
in matters in
 
which a loss
 
amount can be
 
reasonably estimated will not
 
have a material
adverse effect
 
on the Corporation’s
 
consolidated financial position.
 
However, in
 
the event
 
of unexpected future
 
developments, it is
possible that
 
the ultimate
 
resolution of
 
these matters
 
in a
 
reporting period, if
 
unfavorable, could have
 
a material
 
adverse effect
 
on
the Corporation’s consolidated financial position for that period.
 
Set forth below is a description of the Corporation’s
 
significant Legal Proceedings.
BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO
Mortgage-Related Litigation
 
BPPR was
 
named a
 
defendant in
 
a putative
 
class action
 
captioned Yiries
 
Josef Saad
 
Maura v.
 
Banco Popular,
 
et al.
 
on behalf
 
of
residential
 
customers
 
of
 
the
 
defendant
 
banks
 
who
 
have
 
allegedly
 
been
 
subject
 
to
 
illegal
 
foreclosures
 
and/or
 
loan
 
modifications
through
 
their
 
mortgage
 
servicers.
 
Plaintiffs
 
contend
 
that
 
when
 
they
 
sought
 
to
 
reduce
 
their
 
loan
 
payments,
 
defendants
 
failed
 
to
provide them with such reduced loan payments, instead subjecting them to lengthy loss mitigation processes while filing foreclosure
claims
 
against
 
them
 
in
 
parallel,
 
all
 
in
 
violation
 
of
 
the
 
Truth
 
In
 
Lending
 
Act
 
(“TILA”),
 
the
 
Real
 
Estate
 
Settlement
 
Procedures
 
Act
(“RESPA”),
 
the Equal
 
Credit Opportunity Act
 
(“ECOA”), the
 
Fair Credit
 
Reporting Act
 
(“FCRA”), the
 
Fair Debt
 
Collection Practices
Act (“FDCPA”)
 
and other consumer-protection laws
 
and regulations. Plaintiffs did
 
not include a specific
 
amount of damages in
 
their
complaint. After waiving service
 
of process, BPPR filed
 
a motion to
 
dismiss the complaint
 
(as did most
 
co-defendants, separately).
 
BPPR
 
further
 
filed
 
a
 
motion
 
to
 
oppose
 
class
 
certification,
 
which the
 
Court
 
granted
 
in
 
September
 
2018.
 
In
 
April
 
2019,
 
the
 
Court
entered an
 
Opinion and
 
Order granting
 
BPPR’s and
 
several other
 
defendants’ motions
 
to dismiss
 
with prejudice.
 
Plaintiffs filed
 
a
Motion for Reconsideration in April 2019, which Popular timely opposed. In September 2019, the Court issued an Amended Opinion
and Order dismissing plaintiffs’ claims against all
 
defendants, denying the reconsideration requests and other pending motions, and
issuing final
 
judgment.
 
In October
 
2019, plaintiffs
 
filed a
 
Motion for
 
Reconsideration of
 
the Court’s
 
Amended Opinion
 
and Order,
which was denied
 
in December 2019.
 
In January
 
2020, plaintiffs filed
 
a Notice
 
of Appeal to
 
the U.S. Court
 
of Appeals for
 
the First
Circuit.
 
Plaintiffs filed their
 
appeal brief in
 
July 2020, Appellees
 
filed their brief
 
in September 2020,
 
and Appellants filed
 
their reply
brief in January 2021.
 
On March 13, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit entered judgment affirming the
 
trial court’s
93
order dismissing
 
the complaint.
 
On
 
March 23,
 
2023, Plaintiffs
 
filed
 
a
 
Petition for
 
Rehearing and/or
 
Rehearing
en
 
Banc
,
 
which is
pending resolution.
 
Insufficient Funds and Overdraft Fees Class Actions
Popular
 
was
 
named
 
as
 
a
 
defendant on
 
a
 
putative class
 
action
 
complaint captioned
 
Golden
 
v.
 
Popular,
 
Inc.
 
filed
 
in
 
March
 
2020
before
 
the
 
U.S.
 
District
 
Court
 
for
 
the
 
Southern
 
District
 
of
 
New
 
York,
 
seeking
 
damages,
 
restitution
 
and
 
injunctive
 
relief.
 
Plaintiff
alleged breach
 
of contract,
 
violation
 
of
 
the covenant
 
of
 
good faith
 
and
 
fair
 
dealing, unjust
 
enrichment and
 
violation
 
of
 
New York
consumer
 
protection law
 
due
 
to
 
Popular’s purported
 
practice of
 
charging
 
overdraft fees
 
(“OD
 
Fees”) on
 
transactions that,
 
under
plaintiffs’ theory,
 
do not
 
overdraw the
 
account. Plaintiff
 
described Popular’s purported
 
practice of
 
charging OD
 
Fees as
 
“Authorize
Positive,
 
Purportedly
 
Settle
 
Negative”
 
(“APPSN”)
 
transactions
 
and
 
alleged
 
that
 
Popular
 
assesses
 
OD
 
Fees
 
over
 
authorized
transactions
 
for
 
which
 
sufficient
 
funds
 
are
 
held
 
for
 
settlement.
 
In
 
August
 
2020,
 
Popular
 
filed
 
a
 
Motion
 
to
 
Dismiss
 
on
 
several
grounds,
 
including
 
failure
 
to
 
state
 
a
 
claim
 
against
 
Popular,
 
Inc.
 
and
 
improper
 
venue.
 
In
 
October
 
2020,
 
Plaintiff
 
filed
 
a
 
Notice
 
of
Voluntary
 
Dismissal
 
before
 
the
 
U.S.
 
District
 
Court
 
for
 
the
 
Southern
 
District
 
of
 
New
 
York
 
and,
 
simultaneously,
 
filed
 
an
 
identical
complaint in the U.S. District Court for the
 
District of the Virgin Islands against Popular,
 
Inc., Popular Bank and BPPR. In November
2020, Plaintiff
 
filed a
 
Notice of
 
Voluntary
 
Dismissal against
 
Popular, Inc.
 
and Popular
 
Bank following
 
a Motion
 
to Dismiss
 
filed on
behalf of
 
such entities, which
 
argued failure to
 
state a claim
 
and lack of
 
minimum contacts of
 
such parties with
 
the U.S.V.I.
 
district
court jurisdiction. BPPR, the only defendant remaining in the case, was served with process in November 2020 and filed a Motion to
Dismiss in January 2021.
In
 
October
 
2021,
 
the
 
District
 
Court,
 
notwithstanding that
 
BPPR’s
 
Motion
 
to
 
Dismiss
 
remained
 
pending
 
resolution,
 
held
 
an
 
initial
scheduling
 
conference
 
and,
 
thereafter,
 
issued
 
a
 
trial
 
management
 
order
 
where
 
it
 
scheduled
 
the
 
deadline
 
for
 
all
 
discovery
 
for
November
 
2022,
 
and
 
several
 
other
 
trial-related
 
deadlines
 
for
 
June
 
2023.
 
During
 
a
 
mediation
 
hearing held
 
in
 
October
 
2022,
 
the
parties
 
reached a
 
settlement in
 
principle on
 
a class-wide
 
basis subject
 
to
 
final
 
court
 
approval. In
 
January 2023,
 
the
 
parties filed
before the Court a
 
motion for preliminary approval
 
of the settlement agreement
 
and, on March 31,
 
2023, the Court issued
 
an order
granting preliminary approval of the settlement agreement.
 
The final approval hearing is scheduled for September 8,
 
2023.
On January
 
31, 2022,
 
Popular was
 
also named
 
as a
 
defendant on a
 
putative class
 
action complaint captioned
 
Lipsett v.
 
Popular,
Inc. d/b/a Banco Popular, filed before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
 
of New York, seeking damages, restitution and
injunctive relief. Similar to the claims set forth in the
 
aforementioned Golden complaint, Plaintiff alleges breach of contract, including
violations of the covenant of good faith and
 
fair dealing, as a result of Popular’s purported practice of
 
charging OD Fees for APPSN
transactions.
 
The complaint further alleged that
 
Popular assesses OD Fees
 
over authorized transactions for
 
which sufficient funds
are held for settlement. Popular waived service of process
 
and filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration. In response to Popular’s
 
motion,
Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal in April 2022.
 
On May
 
13, 2022,
 
Plaintiff in
 
the Lipsett
 
complaint filed
 
a new
 
complaint captioned
 
Lipsett v.
 
Banco Popular
 
North America
 
d/b/a
Popular Community Bank
 
with the same
 
allegations of his
 
previous complaint against
 
Popular. In
 
June 2022, after
 
serving Plaintiff
with a written notice of election to arbitrate the claims asserted in the complaint which went unanswered, Popular Bank (“PB”) filed a
Pre-Motion Conference motion related to a new Motion to Compel Arbitration. After Plaintiff responded to the Pre-Motion
 
conference
motion, the Court allowed PB
 
to file its Motion
 
to Compel Arbitration, which it
 
did in September 2022. Plaintiff
 
opposed such motion
in October 2022, and PB filed its reply in November
 
2022.
 
On December 9, 2022, the
 
Court issued a Decision and
 
Order denying PB’s Motion to
 
Compel Arbitration. On December 20, 2022,
PB filed a Notice of
 
Appeal with the United States
 
Court of Appeals for the Second
 
Circuit. PB filed its appeal brief
 
on April 5, 2023
and Plaintiff
 
filed his opposition
 
brief on July
 
5, 2023. PB
 
filed its
 
reply brief on
 
July 26,
 
2023.
 
The matter is
 
now fully briefed
 
and
pending resolution.
POPULAR SECURITIES
Puerto Rico Bonds and Closed-End Investment
 
Funds
The volatility
 
in prices
 
and declines
 
in value
 
that Puerto
 
Rico municipal
 
bonds and
 
closed-end investment
 
companies that
 
invest
primarily in
 
Puerto Rico
 
municipal bonds experienced
 
following August
 
2013 have
 
led to
 
regulatory inquiries, customer
 
complaints
and
 
arbitrations
 
for
 
most
 
broker-dealers
 
in
 
Puerto
 
Rico,
 
including
 
Popular
 
Securities.
 
Popular
 
Securities
 
has
 
received
 
customer
complaints
 
and,
 
as
 
of
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
was
 
named
 
as
 
a
 
respondent
 
(among
 
other
 
broker-dealers)
 
in
6
 
pending
 
arbitration
94
proceedings with
 
initial claimed
 
amounts of
 
approximately $
5.88
 
million in
 
the aggregate.
 
While Popular
 
Securities believes
 
it has
meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in these proceedings,
 
it has often determined that it is in its best interest to settle certain
claims
 
rather
 
than
 
expend
 
the
 
money
 
and
 
resources required
 
to
 
see
 
such
 
cases
 
to
 
completion.
 
The
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Government’s
defaults and
 
non-payment of
 
its various
 
debt obligations,
 
as well
 
as the
 
Oversight Board
 
decision to
 
pursue restructurings
 
under
Title III and
 
Title VI of
 
PROMESA, have impacted the number of
 
customer complaints (and claimed damages) filed
 
against Popular
Securities concerning Puerto Rico bonds and closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto
 
Rico bonds. Adverse
results in the arbitration proceedings described above
 
could have a material adverse effect on Popular.

Note 22 – Non-consolidated variable interest
 
entities
The Corporation is
 
involved with
three
 
statutory trusts which
 
it created to
 
issue trust preferred
 
securities to the
 
public. These trusts
are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) since the equity investors at risk have no substantial decision-making rights. The
Corporation does not
 
hold any variable
 
interest in the
 
trusts, and therefore,
 
cannot be the
 
trusts’ primary beneficiary.
 
Furthermore,
the
 
Corporation concluded
 
that
 
it did
 
not
 
hold
 
a
 
controlling financial
 
interest
 
in
 
these
 
trusts
 
since the
 
decisions
 
of
 
the
 
trusts
 
are
predetermined through
 
the trust
 
documents and the
 
guarantee of
 
the trust
 
preferred securities is
 
irrelevant since
 
in substance
 
the
sponsor is guaranteeing its own debt.
Also, the
 
Corporation is
 
involved with
 
various special
 
purpose entities
 
mainly in
 
guaranteed mortgage
 
securitization transactions,
including
 
GNMA
 
and
 
FNMA.
The
 
Corporation
 
has
 
also
 
engaged
 
in
 
securitization
 
transactions
 
with
 
FHLMC,
 
but
 
considers
 
its
exposure in the form of servicing fees and servicing advances not to be significant
at June 30, 2023
.
These special purpose entities
are deemed
 
to be
 
VIEs since
 
they lack
 
equity investments
 
at risk.
 
The Corporation’s
 
continuing involvement in
 
these guaranteed
loan securitizations includes owning certain beneficial interests
 
in the form of securities as
 
well as the servicing rights
 
retained. The
Corporation is
 
not required to
 
provide additional financial
 
support to
 
any of
 
the variable
 
interest entities
 
to which
 
it has
 
transferred
the
 
financial
 
assets.
 
The
 
mortgage-backed
 
securities,
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
retained,
 
are
 
classified
 
in
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
Consolidated
Statements
 
of
 
Financial
 
Condition
 
as
 
available-for-sale
 
or
 
trading
 
securities.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
concluded
 
that,
 
essentially,
 
these
entities (FNMA
 
and GNMA)
 
control the
 
design of
 
their respective
 
VIEs, dictate
 
the quality
 
and nature
 
of the
 
collateral, require
 
the
underlying insurance, set
 
the servicing standards
 
via the servicing
 
guides and can
 
change them at
 
will, and can
 
remove a primary
servicer with cause,
 
and without cause
 
in the
 
case of
 
FNMA. Moreover,
 
through their guarantee
 
obligations, agencies (FNMA
 
and
GNMA) have the obligation to absorb losses that
 
could be potentially significant to the VIE.
The
 
Corporation
 
holds
 
variable
 
interests
 
in
 
these
 
VIEs
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
agency
 
mortgage-backed
 
securities
 
and
 
collateralized
mortgage obligations, including those securities originated by the Corporation and those acquired from
 
third parties. Additionally, the
Corporation holds agency mortgage-backed securities
 
and agency collateralized mortgage obligations
 
issued by third party
 
VIEs in
which
 
it
 
has
 
no
 
other
 
form
 
of
 
continuing
 
involvement. Refer
 
to
 
Note
 
24
 
to
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements
 
for
 
additional
information on the
 
debt securities outstanding at
 
June 30, 2023
 
and December 31,
 
2022, which are
 
classified as available-for-sale
and
 
trading
 
securities
 
in
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
Consolidated
 
Statements
 
of
 
Financial
 
Condition.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
holds
variable
 
interests
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
servicing
 
fees,
 
since
 
it
 
retains
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
service
 
the
 
transferred
 
loans
 
in
 
those
 
government-
sponsored special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and may also purchase the right to service loans in other government-sponsored SPEs
that were transferred to those SPEs by a third-party.
 
The following
 
table presents
 
the carrying
 
amount and
 
classification of
 
the assets
 
related to
 
the Corporation’s
 
variable interests
 
in
non-consolidated VIEs
 
and the
 
maximum exposure
 
to loss
 
as a
 
result of
 
the Corporation’s
 
involvement as
 
servicer of
 
GNMA and
FNMA loans at June 30, 2023 and December 31,
 
2022.

The size of
 
the non-consolidated VIEs,
 
in which the
 
Corporation has a
 
variable interest in
 
the form
 
of servicing fees,
 
measured as
the total unpaid principal balance of the loans, amounted
 
to $
7.5
 
billion at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 -
 
$
7.7
 
billion).
The Corporation
 
determined that
 
the maximum
 
exposure to
 
loss includes
 
the fair
 
value of
 
the MSRs
 
and the
 
assumption that
 
the
servicing advances at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, will not be recovered. The agency debt securities are not included as
part of the maximum exposure to loss since they
 
are guaranteed by the related agencies.
ASU 2009-17 requires that an ongoing primary beneficiary assessment should be made to determine whether the Corporation is the
primary beneficiary of any of the VIEs it is
 
involved with. The conclusion on the assessment of these non-consolidated VIEs has not
changed
 
since
 
their
 
initial
 
evaluation.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
concluded
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
still
 
not
 
the
 
primary
 
beneficiary
 
of
 
these
 
VIEs,
 
and
therefore, these VIEs are not required to be consolidated
 
in the Corporation’s financial statements at June 30, 2023.

Note 23 – Related party transactions
The Corporation
 
considers its
 
equity method
 
investees as
 
related parties.
 
The following
 
provides information
 
on transactions
 
with
equity method investees considered related parties.
EVERTEC
Until
 
August
 
15,
 
2022,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
had
 
an
 
investment
 
in
 
Evertec,
 
Inc.
 
(“Evertec”)
 
which
 
provides
 
various
 
processing
 
and
information
 
technology services
 
to
 
the
 
Corporation and
 
its
 
subsidiaries
 
and
 
gave
 
BPPR
 
access to
 
the
 
ATH
 
network owned
 
and
operated
 
by
 
Evertec.
 
This
 
investment
 
was
 
accounted
 
for
 
under
 
the
 
equity
 
method.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
recorded
 
$
1.2
 
million
 
in
dividends from its investment in Evertec during
 
the six months ended June 30, 2022.
On July
 
1, 2022,
 
BPPR completed
 
the acquisition
 
of certain
 
assets from
 
Evertec Group,
 
LLC (“Evertec

Note 24 – Fair value measurement
 
ASC Subtopic
 
820-10 “Fair
 
Value
 
Measurements and
 
Disclosures” establishes
 
a fair
 
value hierarchy
 
that prioritizes
 
the inputs
 
to
valuation techniques
 
used to
 
measure fair
 
value into
 
three levels
 
in order
 
to increase
 
consistency and
 
comparability in
 
fair value
measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy is broken
 
down into three levels based on the reliability
 
of inputs as follows:
●
Level
 
1
- Unadjusted
 
quoted prices
 
in
 
active markets
 
for identical
 
assets
 
or liabilities
 
that
 
the
 
Corporation has
 
the
 
ability to
access at the
 
measurement date. Valuation
 
on these instruments
 
does not necessitate a
 
significant degree of judgment
 
since
valuations are based on quoted prices that are
 
readily available in an active market.
●
Level 2
- Quoted
 
prices other
 
than those
 
included in
 
Level 1
 
that are
 
observable either
 
directly or
 
indirectly.
 
Level 2
 
inputs
include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets
 
that
 
are
 
not
 
active,
 
or
 
other inputs
 
that
 
are
 
observable
 
or that
 
can
 
be
 
corroborated by
 
observable market
 
data
 
for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
●
Level 3
- Inputs are unobservable and significant
 
to the fair value measurement.
 
Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s
own judgements about assumptions that market participants
 
would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The
 
Corporation
 
maximizes
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
observable
 
inputs
 
and
 
minimizes
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
by
 
requiring
 
that
 
the
observable inputs be used when
 
available. Fair value is
 
based upon quoted market prices
 
when available. If listed prices
 
or quotes
are
 
not
 
available,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
employs
 
internally-developed
 
models
 
that
 
primarily
 
use
 
market-based
 
inputs
 
including
 
yield
curves, interest rates,
 
volatilities, and credit
 
curves, among others.
 
Valuation
 
adjustments are limited
 
to those necessary
 
to ensure
that the financial instrument’s
 
fair value is adequately representative of
 
the price that would
 
be received or paid
 
in the marketplace.
These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality,
 
the Corporation’s credit standing, constraints on liquidity
and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently.
 
There have been no changes in the
 
Corporation’s methodologies used
to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities from
 
those disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.
The estimated fair
 
value may
 
be subjective in
 
nature and may
 
involve uncertainties and
 
matters of
 
significant judgment for
 
certain
financial instruments. Changes in the underlying assumptions
 
used in calculating fair value could significantly
 
affect the results.

Beginning in the first quarter
 
of 2023, the Corporation has elected the
 
fair value option for BPPR mortgage loans
 
held for sale. This
election better aligns with the
 
management of the portfolio from
 
a business perspective. As of
 
December 31, 2022, the Corporation
had not elected the fair value option for any
 
of the loans in the held for sale portfolio.
Loans held-for-sale measured at fair value
 
Loans held-for-sale measured at fair value were priced
 
based on secondary market prices. These loans
 
are classified as Level 2.

Note 25 – Fair value of financial instruments
The fair
 
value of
 
financial instruments
 
is the
 
amount at
 
which an
 
asset or
 
obligation could
 
be exchanged
 
in a
 
current transaction
between
 
willing
 
parties,
 
other
 
than
 
in
 
a
 
forced
 
or
 
liquidation
 
sale.
 
For
 
those
 
financial
 
instruments
 
with
 
no
 
quoted
 
market
 
prices
available, fair values have been estimated using present
 
value calculations or other valuation techniques, as well
 
as management’s
best judgment with respect to current economic conditions, including discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, and prepayment
assumptions. Many of these
 
estimates involve various assumptions and
 
may vary significantly from
 
amounts that could be
 
realized
in actual transactions.
The fair
 
values reflected
 
herein have
 
been determined
 
based on
 
the prevailing
 
rate environment at
 
June 30,
 
2023 and
 
December
31, 2022, as applicable. In different interest rate environments,
 
fair value estimates can differ significantly, especially for certain fixed
rate
 
financial
 
instruments.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
fair
 
values
 
presented
 
do
 
not
 
attempt
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
fee
generating businesses
 
and anticipated
 
future business
 
activities, that
 
is, they
 
do not
 
represent the
 
Corporation’s value
 
as a
 
going
concern. There have been
 
no changes in the
 
Corporation’s valuation methodologies and inputs
 
used to estimate the
 
fair values for
each class of financial assets and liabilities not measured
 
at fair value.
The following tables present the
 
carrying amount and estimated fair
 
values of financial instruments with their
 
corresponding level in
the fair
 
value hierarchy.
 
The aggregate
 
fair value
 
amounts of
 
the financial
 
instruments disclosed
 
do not
 
represent management’s
estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.

Revenue from contracts with
 
customers is recognized when,
 
or as, the performance
 
obligations are satisfied by
 
the Corporation by
transferring the
 
promised services
 
to
 
the customers.
 
A
 
service is
 
transferred to
 
the customer
 
when, or
 
as, the
 
customer obtains
control
 
of
 
that
 
service.
 
A
 
performance obligation
 
may
 
be
 
satisfied over
 
time
 
or
 
at
 
a
 
point
 
in
 
time.
 
Revenue from
 
a
 
performance
obligation satisfied
 
over time
 
is recognized
 
based on
 
the services
 
that have
 
been rendered
 
to date.
 
Revenue from
 
a performance
obligation satisfied at a point in time
 
is recognized when the customer obtains control over the
 
service. The transaction price, or the
amount of revenue
 
recognized, reflects the
 
consideration the Corporation expects
 
to be entitled
 
to in exchange
 
for those promised
services. In determining the transaction price, the Corporation considers the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration
is included
 
in the
 
transaction price
 
only to
 
the extent
 
it is
 
probable that a
 
significant reversal
 
in the
 
amount of
 
cumulative revenue
recognized will
 
not occur.
 
The Corporation
 
is the
 
principal in
 
a transaction
 
if it
 
obtains control
 
of the
 
specified goods
 
or services
before they
 
are transferred
 
to
 
the customer.
 
If the
 
Corporation acts
 
as principal,
 
revenues are
 
presented in
 
the gross
 
amount of
consideration to which it expects to
 
be entitled and are not
 
netted with any related expenses. On the
 
other hand, the Corporation is
an agent if it does not control
 
the specified goods or services before they are
 
transferred to the customer. If
 
the Corporation acts as
an agent, revenues are presented in the amount
 
of consideration to which it expects to be entitled,
 
net of related expenses.
Following is a description of the nature and timing
 
of revenue streams from contracts with customers:
Service charges on deposit accounts
Service
 
charges
 
on
 
deposit
 
accounts
 
are
 
earned
 
on
 
retail
 
and
 
commercial
 
deposit
 
activities
 
and
 
include,
 
but
 
are
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
nonsufficient fund
 
fees, overdraft
 
fees and
 
checks stop
 
payment fees.
 
These transaction-based
 
fees are
 
recognized at
 
a point
 
in
time,
 
upon
 
occurrence
 
of
 
an
 
activity
 
or
 
event
 
or
 
upon
 
the
 
occurrence
 
of
 
a
 
condition
 
which
 
triggers
 
the
 
fee
 
assessment.
 
The
Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.
111
Debit card fees
Debit card fees include, but are not limited to, interchange
 
fees, surcharging income and foreign transaction
 
fees.
 
These transaction-
based fees
 
are recognized at
 
a point in
 
time, upon
 
occurrence of an
 
activity or
 
event or upon
 
the occurrence of
 
a condition which
triggers
 
the
 
fee
 
assessment.
 
Interchange
 
fees
 
are
 
recognized
 
upon
 
settlement
 
of
 
the
 
debit
 
card
 
payment
 
transactions.
 
The
Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.
Insurance fees
Insurance fees
 
include, but
 
are
 
not limited
 
to, commissions
 
and contingent
 
commissions.
 
Commissions and
 
fees
 
are
 
recognized
when related
 
policies are effective
 
since the Corporation
 
does not
 
have an enforceable
 
right to
 
payment for services
 
completed to
date.
 
An
 
allowance
 
is
 
created
 
for
 
expected
 
adjustments
 
to
 
commissions
 
earned
 
related
 
to
 
policy
 
cancellations.
 
Contingent
commissions
 
are
 
recorded
 
on
 
an
 
accrual
 
basis
 
when
 
the
 
amount
 
to
 
be
 
received
 
is
 
notified
 
by
 
the
 
insurance
 
company.
 
The
Corporation is acting
 
as an
 
agent since it
 
arranges for the
 
sale of
 
the policies and
 
receives commissions if,
 
and when, it
 
achieves
the sale.
 
Credit card fees
Credit card
 
fees include,
 
but are
 
not limited
 
to, interchange
 
fees, additional
 
card fees,
 
cash advance
 
fees, balance
 
transfer fees,
foreign transaction fees, and returned payments
 
fees. Credit card fees are
 
recognized at a point in
 
time, upon the occurrence of
 
an
activity or
 
an event.
 
Interchange fees
 
are recognized
 
upon settlement
 
of the
 
credit card
 
payment transactions. The
 
Corporation is
acting as principal in these transactions.
Sale and administration of investment products
Fees from
 
the sale
 
and administration
 
of investment
 
products include,
 
but are
 
not limited
 
to, commission
 
income from
 
the sale
 
of
investment products, asset management fees, underwriting
 
fees, and mutual fund fees.
 
Commission income from investment products is recognized on the trade date since clearing, trade execution, and custody services
are satisfied when
 
the customer acquires
 
or disposes of
 
the rights to
 
obtain the economic
 
benefits of the
 
investment products and
brokerage contracts have no fixed duration and
 
are terminable at will by
 
either party. The
 
Corporation is acting as principal in these
transactions since it
 
performs the service
 
of providing the
 
customer with the
 
ability to acquire
 
or dispose of
 
the rights to
 
obtain the
economic benefits of investment products.
 
Asset
 
management
 
fees
 
are
 
satisfied
 
over
 
time
 
and
 
are
 
recognized
 
in
 
arrears.
 
At
 
contract
 
inception,
 
the
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
 
asset
management fee
 
is constrained
 
from the
 
inclusion in
 
the transaction
 
price since
 
the promised
 
consideration is
 
dependent on
 
the
market and thus
 
is highly susceptible
 
to factors
 
outside the manager’s
 
influence. As advisor,
 
the broker-dealer subsidiary
 
is acting
as principal.
Underwriting fees are
 
recognized at a point
 
in time, when
 
the investment products
 
are sold in
 
the open market at
 
a markup. When
the broker-dealer subsidiary is lead
 
underwriter, it is
 
acting as an agent. In
 
turn, when it is
 
a participating underwriter, it
 
is acting as
principal.
Mutual fund fees,
 
such as distribution fees,
 
are considered variable consideration
 
and are recognized over
 
time, as the
 
uncertainty
of the fees to be
 
received is resolved as NAV
 
is determined and investor activity occurs. The
 
promise to provide distribution-related
services
 
is
 
considered
 
a
 
single
 
performance
 
obligation
 
as
 
it
 
requires
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
a
 
series
 
of
 
distinct
 
services
 
that
 
are
substantially the same and have the same pattern of
 
transfer. When the broker-dealer subsidiary is acting as a distributor, it is acting
as principal. In turn, when it acts as third-party dealer, it is acting
 
as an agent.
Trust fees
Trust fees
 
are recognized from
 
retirement plan, mutual fund
 
administration, investment management, trustee, escrow,
 
and custody
and
 
safekeeping services.
 
These
 
asset
 
management services
 
are
 
considered
 
a
 
single
 
performance obligation
 
as
 
it
 
requires the
provision of
 
a series
 
of distinct
 
services that
 
are substantially
 
the same
 
and have
 
the same
 
pattern of
 
transfer.
 
The performance
obligation
 
is
 
satisfied
 
over
 
time,
 
except
 
for
 
optional
 
services
 
and
 
certain
 
other
 
services
 
that
 
are
 
satisfied
 
at
 
a
 
point
 
in
 
time.
 
Revenues are recognized in
 
arrears,
 
when, or as,
 
the services are rendered.
 
The Corporation is
 
acting as principal since,
 
as asset
manager, it has the obligation to provide the specified service to the customer and
 
has the ultimate discretion in establishing the fee
paid by the customer for the specified services.

Note 28 – Leases
The
 
Corporation enters
 
in
 
the
 
ordinary course
 
of
 
business
 
into
 
operating and
 
finance
 
leases
 
for
 
land,
 
buildings
 
and
 
equipment.
These contracts generally do
 
not include purchase options
 
or residual value guarantees.
 
The remaining lease terms
 
of
0.1
 
to
31.5
years
 
considers options
 
to
 
extend the
 
leases for
 
up
 
to
20
 
years. The
 
Corporation identifies
 
leases when
 
it
 
has
 
both the
 
right to
obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from
 
the use of the asset and the right to direct
 
the use of the asset.
The Corporation
 
recognizes right-of-use
 
assets (“ROU
 
assets”) and
 
lease liabilities
 
related to
 
operating and
 
finance leases
 
in its
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under the caption of other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Refer to Note 13
and
 
Note
 
17
 
to
 
the
 
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements,
 
respectively,
 
for
 
information
 
on
 
the
 
balances of
 
these
 
lease
 
assets
 
and
liabilities.
The Corporation uses the
 
incremental borrowing rate for
 
purposes of discounting lease payments
 
for operating and finance leases,
since it
 
does not have
 
enough information to
 
determine the rates
 
implicit in the
 
leases. The discount
 
rates are based
 
on fixed-rate
and
 
fully
 
amortizing
 
borrowing
 
facilities
 
of
 
its
 
banking
 
subsidiaries
 
that
 
are
 
collateralized.
 
For
 
leases
 
held
 
by
 
non-banking
subsidiaries, a credit spread is added to this rate
 
based on financing transactions with a
 
similar credit risk profile.

cash flows of operating and finance leases for

Note 30 - Stock-based compensation
Incentive Plan
On May 12, 2020,
 
the shareholders of the
 
Corporation approved the Popular,
 
Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan,
 
which permits the
Corporation to
 
issue several
 
types of
 
stock-based compensation
 
to employees
 
and directors
 
of the
 
Corporation and/or
 
any of
 
its
subsidiaries (the
 
“2020 Incentive
 
Plan”). The
 
2020 Incentive
 
Plan replaced
 
the Popular,
 
Inc. 2004
 
Omnibus Incentive
 
Plan, which
was in effect
 
prior to the adoption of
 
the 2020 Incentive Plan (the
 
“2004 Incentive Plan” and, together
 
with the 2020 Incentive
 
Plan,
the “Incentive Plan”). Participants under the Incentive Plan are designated by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (or its delegate, as determined by the Board). Under the Incentive Plan, the Corporation has issued restricted stock and
performance shares to its employees and restricted
 
stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
 
to its directors.
The restricted
 
stock granted
 
under the
 
Incentive Plan
 
to employees
 
becomes vested
 
based on
 
the employees’
 
continued service
with
 
Popular.
Unless otherwise stated in an agreement, the compensation cost associated with the shares of restricted stock
granted prior to 2021 was determined based on a two-prong vesting schedule. The first part is vested ratably over five or four years
commencing at the date of grant (“the graduated vesting portion”) and the second part is vested at termination of employment after
attainment of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service (“the retirement vesting portion”).
The graduated vesting portion is accelerated at termination of employment after attaining 55 years of age and 10 years of service or
60 years of age and 5 years of service. Restricted stock granted on or after 2021 will vest ratably in equal annual installments over
a period of 4 years or 3 years, depending on the classification of the employee. The vesting schedule is accelerated at termination
of employment after attaining the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service.
The
 
performance share
 
awards
 
granted
 
under
 
the
 
Incentive
 
Plan
 
consist
 
of
 
the
 
opportunity
 
to
 
receive
 
shares
 
of
 
Popular,
 
Inc.’s
common stock provided that the Corporation achieves certain goals during a three-year performance cycle.
 
The goals will be based
on
 
two
 
metrics
 
weighted
 
equally:
 
the
 
Relative
 
Total
 
Shareholder
 
Return
 
(“TSR”)
 
and
 
the
 
Absolute
 
Return
 
on
 
Average
 
Tangible
Common
 
Equity (“ROATCE”)
 
goal.
 
The
 
TSR
 
metric is
 
considered to
 
be
 
a market
 
condition under
 
ASC
 
718.
 
For
 
equity settled
awards based
 
on a
 
market condition,
 
the fair
 
value is
 
determined as
 
of the
 
grant date
 
and is
 
not subsequently
 
revised based
 
on
actual
 
performance.
 
The
 
ROATCE
 
metric
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
performance
 
condition
 
under
 
ASC
 
718.
 
The
 
fair
 
value
 
is
determined based on the probability of achieving the ROATCE goal as of each reporting period.
 
The TSR and ROATCE metrics are
equally
 
weighted and
 
work independently.
 
The number of shares that will ultimately vest ranges from 50% to a 150% of target
based on both market (TSR) and performance (ROATCE) conditions. The performance shares vest at the end of the three-year
performance cycle. If a participant terminates employment after attaining the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60
years of age and 5 years of service, the performance shares shall continue outstanding and vest at the end of the performance
cycle.

For the quarter
 
and six months
 
ended June 30,
 
2023, the Corporation recorded
 
an income tax
 
expense of $
43.5
 
million and $
89.8
 
million, respectively,
 
compared to $
64.2
 
million and
 
$
114.7
 
million for
 
the respective
 
periods of
 
2022. The decrease
 
in income
 
tax
expense
 
was due
 
in essence
 
to a
 
lower pre-tax
 
income, partially
 
offset
 
by
 
lower exempt
 
income for
 
the
 
quarter and
 
six
 
months
ended June 30, 2023.

At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023
 
the
 
net
 
deferred
 
tax
 
asset
 
of
 
the
 
U.S.
 
operations
 
amounted
 
to
 
$
669
 
million
 
with
 
a
 
valuation
 
allowance
 
of
approximately $
398
 
million, for
 
a net
 
deferred tax
 
asset after
 
valuation allowance
 
of approximately
 
$
271
 
million. The
 
Corporation
evaluates
 
the
 
realization
 
of
 
the
 
deferred tax
 
asset
 
on
 
a
 
quarterly
 
basis
 
by
 
taxing
 
jurisdiction. The
 
U.S.
 
operation has
 
sustained
profitability for
 
last three
 
calendar years
 
and for
 
the quarter
 
ended June
 
30, 2023.
 
These financial
 
results demonstrated
 
financial
stability for the U.S. operations.
 
These historical financial results are objectively verifiable positive evidence, evaluated together with
the positive
 
evidence of stable
 
credit metrics, in
 
combination with the
 
length of
 
the expiration of
 
the NOLs.
 
On the other
 
hand, the
Corporation evaluated
 
the negative
 
evidence accumulated
 
over the
 
years, including
 
financial results
 
lower than
 
expectations and
challenges to
 
the
 
economy due
 
to
 
global
 
geopolitical uncertainty.
 
As
 
of
 
June
 
30, 2023,
 
after weighting
 
all
 
positive and
 
negative
evidence, the Corporation concluded that it is more likely than not that approximately $
271
 
million of the deferred tax asset from the
U.S.
 
operations,
 
comprised
 
mainly
 
of
 
net
 
operating
 
losses,
 
will
 
be
 
realized.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
based
 
this
 
determination
 
on
 
its
estimated earnings available to realize the deferred tax asset for the remaining carryforward period, together with the historical level
of book
 
income adjusted
 
by permanent
 
differences. Management
 
will continue
 
to monitor
 
and review
 
the U.S.
 
operation’s results,
the pre-tax earnings
 
forecast, any new
 
tax initiative, and
 
other factors, including
 
net income versus
 
forecast, targeted loan
 
growth,
net interest income margin, changes in
 
deposits costs, allowance for credit losses, charge offs,
 
NPLs inflows and NPA
 
balances, to
assess the future realization of the deferred
 
tax asset.
At June 30, 2023, the Corporation’s net deferred tax assets
 
related to its Puerto Rico operations amounted
 
to $
630
 
million.
The Corporation’s Puerto Rico Banking operation is not in a cumulative loss position and has sustained profitability for the last three
calendar years and for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This is considered a strong piece of objectively verifiable positive evidence
that
 
outweighs any
 
negative
 
evidence considered
 
by
 
management
 
in
 
the
 
evaluation of
 
the
 
realization of
 
the
 
deferred tax
 
asset.
 
Based on
 
this evidence and
 
management’s estimate of
 
future taxable
 
income, the
 
Corporation has concluded
 
that it
 
is more
 
likely
than not that such net deferred tax asset of
 
the Puerto Rico Banking operations will be realized.
The
 
Holding
 
Company
 
operation
 
is
 
in
 
a
 
cumulative
 
loss
 
position,
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
taxable
 
income
 
exclusive
 
of
 
reversing
temporary differences, for the last three calendar years and for the quarter
 
ended June 30, 2023. Management expects these losses
will be a trend
 
in future years. This objectively verifiable
 
negative evidence is considered by management strong
 
negative evidence
that will suggest that income in future years
 
will be insufficient to support the realization of
 
all deferred tax assets. After weighting of
all positive
 
and negative evidence
 
management concluded, as
 
of the
 
reporting date, that
 
it is
 
more likely than
 
not that the
 
Holding
Company will not be
 
able to realize any
 
portion of the deferred tax
 
assets. Accordingly, the
 
Corporation has maintained a valuation
allowance on the deferred tax asset of $
139
 
million as of June 30, 2023.

(December 31,
 
2022 -
 
$
2.6
 
million). The
 
total interest
 
expense recognized
 
at June
 
30, 2023
 
was $
53
 
thousand, (June
 
30, 2022–
$
165
 
thousand).
 
Management
 
determined that
 
at
 
June
 
30,
 
2023
 
and
 
December
 
31,
 
2022
 
there
 
was
no
 
need
 
to
 
accrue
 
for
 
the
payment of penalties. The Corporation’s policy is to report interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, while
the penalties, if any, are reported in other operating expenses in the
 
consolidated statements of operations.
 
121
After consideration
 
of the
 
effect on
 
U.S. federal
 
tax of
 
unrecognized U.S.
 
state tax
 
benefits, the
 
total amount
 
of unrecognized
 
tax
benefits, including U.S. and Puerto Rico, that if recognized, would affect the Corporation’s effective tax rate, was approximately $
4.4
million at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $
4.3
 
million).
The amount of
 
unrecognized tax benefits
 
may increase or
 
decrease in the
 
future for various
 
reasons including adding amounts
 
for
current
 
tax
 
year
 
positions,
 
expiration
 
of
 
open
 
income
 
tax
 
returns
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
statutes
 
of
 
limitation,
 
changes
 
in
 
management’s
judgment about
 
the level
 
of uncertainty,
 
status of
 
examinations, litigation
 
and legislative
 
activity and
 
the addition
 
or elimination
 
of
uncertain tax positions.
 
The Corporation anticipates a
 
reduction in the
 
total amount of
 
unrecognized tax benefits within
 
the next 12
months amounting to $
1.5
 
million.
 
The
 
Corporation and
 
its subsidiaries
 
file
 
income tax
 
returns in
 
Puerto
 
Rico, the
 
U.S. federal
 
jurisdiction, various
 
U.S. states
 
and
political
 
subdivisions,
 
and
 
foreign
 
jurisdictions.
 
At
 
June
 
30,

the
 
following
 
years
 
remain

Note 33 – Segment reporting
The
 
Corporation’s
 
corporate
 
structure
 
consists
 
of
two
 
reportable
 
segments
 
–
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Popular U.S.
Management determined the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess
where to allocate resources.
 
The segments were
 
determined based on the
 
organizational structure, which focuses
 
primarily on the
markets the segments serve, as well as on the products
 
and services offered by the segments.
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico:
 
The Banco Popular de
 
Puerto Rico reportable segment
 
includes commercial, consumer and retail
 
banking operations conducted at
BPPR, including
 
U.S. based
 
activities conducted
 
through its

also includes
 
the lending
 
operations of
 
Popular
Auto
 
and
 
Popular
 
Mortgage.
 
Other
 
financial
 
services
 
within
 
the
 
BPPR
 
segment
 
include
 
the
 
trust
 
service
 
units
 
of
 
BPPR,
 
asset
management services of Popular Asset
 
Management, the brokerage and investment
 
banking operations of Popular Securities,
 
and

the Corporation’s
 
investments accounted for
 
under the equity
 
method, including Evertec,
 
until August 15,
 
2022, and

The
 
accounting
 
policies
 
of
 
the
 
individual
 
operating
 
segments
 
are
 
the
 
same
 
as
 
those
 
of
 
the
 
Corporation.

between
reportable segments are primarily conducted at market rates, resulting
 
in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results
of operations.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis
 
– Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Corporation’s
 
interest earning
 
assets include
 
investment securities
 
and loans
 
that are
 
exempt from
 
income tax,
 
principally in
Puerto Rico.
 
The main
 
sources of
 
tax-exempt interest
 
income are
 
certain investments
 
in obligations
 
of the
 
U. S.
 
Government, its
agencies and
 
sponsored entities,
 
certain obligations
 
of the
 
Commonwealth of
 
Puerto Rico
 
and/or its
 
agencies and
 
municipalities,
and assets
 
held by the
 
Corporation’s international banking
 
entities. To
 
facilitate the comparison
 
of interest related
 
to these
 
assets,
the
 
interest
 
has
 
been
 
converted
 
to
 
a
 
taxable
 
equivalent
 
basis,
 
using
 
the
 
applicable
 
statutory
 
income
 
tax
 
rates
 
for
 
each
 
period.
 
According to the
 
Puerto Rico tax
 
law, a
 
portion of interest
 
cost, based on
 
an equal proportion
 
of tax-exempt assets to
 
total assets,
and an
 
allocation of
 
general and
 
administrative expenses
 
should be
 
attributed to
 
exempt income,
 
reducing the
 
benefit of
 
the tax
exempt income, and as such
 
the disallowance of such
 
deduction is considered in the
 
taxable equivalent computation. The effective
yield, on
 
a taxable
 
equivalent basis, will
 
vary depending on
 
the level
 
of these expenses
 
that are
 
attributed to the
 
available exempt
income.
Net interest
 
income on
 
a taxable
 
equivalent basis
 
is a
 
non-GAAP financial
 
measure. Management
 
believes that
 
this presentation
provides meaningful
 
information since
 
it facilitates
 
the comparison
 
of
 
revenues arising
 
from taxable
 
and tax-exempt
 
sources. Net
interest
 
income
 
on
 
a
 
taxable
 
equivalent
 
basis
 
is
 
presented
 
with
 
its
 
different
 
components
 
in
 
Tables
 
2
 
and
 
3,
 
along
 
with
 
the
reconciliation
 
to
 
net
 
interest
 
income
 
(GAAP),
 
for
 
the
 
quarter
 
ended
 
June
 
30,
 
2023
 
as
 
compared
 
with
 
the
 
same
 
period
 
in
 
2022,
segregated by major categories of interest earning
 
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Non-GAAP financial measures
 
used by
 
the Corporation may
 
not be
 
comparable to
 
similarly named
 
non-GAAP financial measures
used by other companies.
Financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2023
●
 
For the
 
quarter ended
 
June 30,
 
2023,
 
the Corporation
 
recorded net
 
income of
 
$ 151.2
 
million, compared
 
to net
 
income of
 
$
211.4
 
million for
 
the same
 
quarter of
 
the
 
previous year.
 
Net interest
 
margin for
 
the
 
second
 
quarter of
 
2023
 
was 3.14%,
 
an
increase of 5 basis
 
points when compared to 3.09%
 
for the same quarter of
 
the previous year,
 
mainly due to higher
 
yield from
money
 
market
 
investments
 
and
 
loans,
 
which
 
was
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
higher
 
deposits
 
costs,
 
principally
 
from
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
public sector.
 
On a
 
taxable equivalent
 
basis, the
 
net interest
 
margin was
 
3.29%, compared to
 
3.45% for the
 
same quarter
 
of
the previous year. For the quarter ended June 30,
 
2023, the Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses of $37.2 million,
compared to
 
$9.4 million
 
for the
 
same quarter
 
of the
 
previous year.
 
The higher
 
provision for
 
2023 is
 
attributed to
 
higher loan
volumes,
 
migrations
 
in
 
credit
 
scores
 
and
 
changes
 
in
 
economic
 
variables
 
related
 
to
 
consumer
 
loan
 
portfolios.
 
Non-interest
income was
 
$160.5 million
 
for the
 
quarter,
 
an increase
 
of $3.1
 
million when
 
compared to
 
the quarter
 
ended June
 
30, 2022,
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
other
 
service
 
fees,
 
driven
 
by
 
higher
 
credit
 
card
 
activities
 
and
 
the
 
income
 
from
 
the
 
revenue
 
sharing
agreement
 
with
 
Evertec,
 
Inc,
 
and
 
net
 
gains
 
in
 
equity
 
securities,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
lower
 
income
 
from
 
mortgage
 
banking
activities
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
adjustments
 
of
 
MSRs
 
and
 
lower
 
service
 
charges
 
on
 
deposit
 
accounts.
 
Operating
expenses were higher by $54.0 million principally
 
due to higher personnel costs and professional
 
fees.
●
 
Total
 
assets at June
 
30, 2023 amounted to
 
$70.8 billion, compared to
 
$67.6 billion, at
 
December 31, 2022.
 
The increase was
mainly due to
 
higher money market
 
investments,
 
driven by the
 
increase in deposits,
 
and loan growth,
 
partially offset by
 
lower
debt securities available-for-sale, as the
 
Corporation has maintained higher balances in
 
Fed Funds reserves due to
 
the recent
banking sector turmoil.
●
Total
 
deposits at
 
June 30,
 
2023 increased
 
by $2.8
 
billion when
 
compared to
 
deposits at
 
December 31,
 
2022, mainly
 
due to
higher Puerto Rico public sector deposits by $3.3
 
billion.
●
 
Stockholders’ equity totaled $4.6 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $471.6
 
million when compared to December 31, 2022,
principally due
 
to net
 
income for
 
the six-months
 
ended June
 
30, 2023
 
of $310.1
 
million, the
 
after-tax impact
 
of the
 
favorable
variance
 
in
 
net
 
unrealized
 
losses
 
in
 
the
 
portfolio
 
of
 
available-for-sale
 
securities
 
of
 
$121.8
 
million,
 
the
 
amortization
 
of
 
the
unrealized losses
 
from securities
 
previously reclassified
 
to held-to-maturity
 
of $68.0
 
million, and
 
the positive
 
impact of
 
$28.8
million from the adoption
 
of a new accounting standard
 
on January 1, 2023, partially
 
offset by dividends declared for
 
the year-
to-date period.
●
 
At June 30,
 
2023, the Corporation’s tangible book
 
value per common share
 
was $51.37, an increase of
 
$6.40 from December
130
31, 2022 due mainly to the increase in Stockholders’
 
equity during the period.
 
●
 
Capital ratios
 
continued to
 
be strong.
 
As of
 
June 30,
 
2023, the
 
Corporation’s common
 
equity tier
 
1 capital
 
ratio was
 
16.87%,
the tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.40%, and the
 
total capital ratio was 18.74%. Refer to Table 9 for capital ratios.
Refer to
 
the Operating
 
Results Analysis
 
and Financial
 
Condition Analysis
 
within this
 
MD&A for
 
additional discussion
 
of significant
quarterly variances and items impacting the financial performance
 
of the Corporation.
As a financial services company,
 
the Corporation’s earnings are significantly affected
 
by general business and economic conditions
in the
 
markets which
 
we serve.
 
Lending and
 
deposit activities
 
and fee
 
income generation
 
are influenced
 
by the
 
level of
 
business
spending and
 
investment, consumer
 
income, spending
 
and savings,
 
capital market
 
activities, competition,
 
customer preferences,
interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates
 
on competing products.
The Corporation
 
operates in
 
a highly
 
regulated environment
 
and may
 
be adversely
 
affected by
 
changes in
 
federal and
 
local laws
and regulations. Also, competition with other financial institutions
 
could adversely affect its profitability.
The
 
Corporation
 
continuously
 
monitors
 
general
 
business
 
and
 
economic
 
conditions,
 
industry-related
 
indicators
 
and
 
trends,
competition, interest rate volatility, credit
 
quality indicators, loan and deposit demand, operational and systems efficiencies, revenue
enhancements and changes in the regulation of financial
 
services companies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES / ESTIMATES
 
The accounting
 
and reporting
 
policies followed
 
by the
 
Corporation and
 
its subsidiaries
 
conform to
 
generally accepted
 
accounting
principles
 
in
 
the
 
United
 
States
 
of
 
America
 
and
 
general
 
practices
 
within
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry.
 
Various
 
elements
 
of
 
the
Corporation’s accounting policies, by
 
their nature, are
 
inherently subject to
 
estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and
 
other
subjective assessments.
 
These estimates
 
are made
 
under facts
 
and circumstances
 
at a
 
point in
 
time and
 
changes in
 
those facts
and circumstances could produce actual results that differ
 
from those estimates.
 
Management has discussed
 
the development and
 
selection of the
 
critical accounting policies
 
and estimates with
 
the Corporation’s
Audit
 
Committee.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
has
 
identified
 
as
 
critical
 
accounting
 
policies
 
those
 
related
 
to:
 
(i)
 
Fair
 
Value
 
Measurement
 
of
Financial Instruments; (ii) Loans
 
and Allowance for Credit
 
Losses; (iii) Loans Acquired
 
with Deteriorated Credit Quality;
 
(iv) Income
Taxes;
 
(v) Goodwill and
 
Other Intangible Assets; and
 
(vi) Pension and Postretirement
 
Benefit Obligations. For a
 
summary of these
critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to that particular section in
 
the MD&A included in the 2022 Form
 
10-K. Also, refer to
Note 2
 
to
 
the Consolidated
 
Financial Statements
 
included in
 
the 2022
 
Form 10-K
 
for a
 
summary of
 
the Corporation’s
 
significant
accounting policies and
 
to Note
 
3 to
 
the Consolidated Financial
 
Statements included in
 
this Form
 
10-Q for information
 
on recently
adopted accounting standard updates.
OPERATING RESULTS ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest
 
income for
 
the quarter
 
ended June
 
30, 2023
 
was $531.7
 
million, compared
 
to
 
$533.9 million
 
in the
 
same quarter
 
of
2022,
 
a
 
decrease of
 
$2.2 million.
 
Net
 
interest income
 
on
 
a
 
taxable equivalent
 
basis for
 
the second
 
quarter of
 
2023
 
was
 
$558.4
million
 
compared to
 
$595.5 million
 
in the
 
second
 
quarter of
 
2022. The
 
decrease in
 
the taxable
 
equivalent net
 
interest income
 
is
related
 
to
 
a
 
higher
 
disallowed
 
interest
 
expense
 
in
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
tax
 
computation.
 
The
 
latter
 
results
 
from
 
the
 
increase
 
in
 
the
Corporation’s interest
 
expense that
 
is attributable
 
to the
 
tax-exempt income.
 
A significant
 
driver to
 
the increased
 
interest expense
has been the cost of Puerto Rico government deposits, which are indexed to market rates, has increased by 3.46% when compared
with the same quarter of 2022.
 
Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.14% compared to 3.09%
 
in the second quarter of 2022 or an increase of
 
5 basis points. On
a taxable equivalent basis, net
 
interest margin for the second
 
quarter of 2023 was 3.29%, compared
 
to 3.45% for the
 
same quarter
the prior year. The main variances in net interest income on a taxable
 
equivalent basis were:
Negative variances:
 
●
Higher interest
 
expense on
 
deposits by
 
$215.7 million
 
due to
 
the increase
 
in interest
 
rates that
 
has resulted
 
in a
 
higher
cost in most deposit categories in
 
both Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”)
 
and Popular Bank (“PB” or “Popular U.S.
Operations”); but particularly from Puerto Rico
 
government deposits for BPPR.
 
The higher costs have been offset
 
in part
by lower volume
 
of average interest-bearing
 
deposits by $1.6
 
billion mainly related
 
to a
 
decrease in commercial
 
savings
accounts.
Partially offset by:
●
Higher interest income
 
from money market,
 
investment, and trading securities
 
by $61.8 million
 
driven mainly by
 
a higher
yield of
 
money market investments,
 
which reflects an
 
increase of
 
432 basis points
 
related to the
 
increase in
 
the Federal
funds rate, partially offset by a lower average volume of $4.1 billion and a lower benefit from exempt investment securities
related to a higher disallowed interest expense in the Puerto Rico
 
tax computation, stemming from the increase in the cost
of deposits.
●
Higher
 
interest
 
income
 
from
 
loans
 
by
 
$125.4
 
million
 
resulting
 
from
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
average
 
loans
 
by
 
$2.8
billion reflecting increases
 
in both PB and
 
BPPR and across most
 
major lending segments. Loan
 
origination
in a
 
higher interest
 
rate environment
 
and the
 
repricing of
 
adjustable-rate loans
 
resulted in a
 
higher yield
 
on
loans by 101 basis points. The categories with the highest impact were commercial loans with an increase of
$80.9 million
 
in interest
 
income, or
 
136 basis
 
points, and
 
consumer loans
 
which increased
 
$26.4 million
 
in
interest income, or 188 basis points.
 
132
Net interest income for the BPPR segment amounted to $453.1
 
million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $447.8 million
 
in
the second quarter of 2022. Net interest margin increased to 3.21%
 
compared to 3.02% in the second quarter of 2022. The increase
in net interest income of $5.3 million was driven by a higher yield on
 
earning assets related to a higher interest rate environment and
a higher
 
volume of
 
loans, partially
 
offset by
 
the increase
 
in the
 
cost of
 
deposits, mainly
 
from the
 
P.R.
 
public sector
 
deposits. The
cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 176 basis points to 1.95% from 0.19% in the same quarter of 2022. Total deposit cost for
the quarter increased by 130 basis points, from
 
0.14% in the second quarter of 2022 to 1.44%.
Net interest income for PB was $87.5 million
 
for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared
 
to $93.4 million during the second
quarter of 2022, a decrease of $5.9 million.
 
Net interest margin decreased 75 basis
 
points when compared to the second quarter
 
of
2022 to 3.01%. The decrease in net interest
 
margin was mostly driven by a higher
 
cost of deposits, partially offset by the increase in
loan volume and yield of loans due to origination
 
of loans in a higher interest rate environment
 
and the repricing of adjustable-rate
loans. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was
 
3.02% compared to 0.54%, or an increase of
 
248 basis points, while total deposit
cost was 2.55%
 
compared to 0.42% in the second quarter
 
of 2022.

Net interest income for
 
the six-months ended June 30,
 
2023 was $1.1 billion,
 
or $35.2 million higher than
 
the same period in
 
2022.
Taxable equivalent net interest income was $1.1 billion, a decrease of $14.9 million when compared to the same period in 2022. Net
interest margin
 
was 3.18%,
 
an increase
 
of 26
 
basis points
 
when compared
 
to 2.92%
 
in 2022.
 
The increase
 
in net
 
interest margin
was mainly
 
driven by a
 
higher yield on
 
earning assets due
 
to a
 
higher interest rate
 
environment. Net interest
 
margin, on
 
a taxable
equivalent basis, for the six-months ended June
 
30, 2023, was 3.37%, an increase of
 
13 basis points when compared to the 3.24%
for the same period of 2022. The drivers of
 
the variances in net interest income for the
 
six-months are:
 
Negative variances:
●
 
Higher interest
 
expense from
 
deposits by
 
$384.1 million
 
mainly due
 
to higher
 
yield by
 
127 basis
 
points related
 
to a
 
higher
interest rate environment.
Partially offset by:
●
 
Higher interest
 
income from
 
investment securities,
 
trading
 
and money
 
market investments
 
by
 
$142.0 resulting
 
from
 
higher
yield of the portfolio by 111
 
basis points mainly driven by money market investments, which reflects an average yield increase
of 448
 
basis points, related
 
to the
 
interest rate environment,
 
partially offset by
 
lower volume by
 
$6.4 billion linked
 
to a
 
lower
volume of
 
deposits on
 
both Puerto Rico
 
Government deposits and
 
commercial savings
 
deposits. In the
 
first quarter
 
of 2022
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Government
 
deposits
 
decreased
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
payments
 
made
 
by
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
Plan
 
of
Adjustment
 
for
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
under
 
Title
 
III
 
of
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Oversight,
 
Management,
 
and
 
Economic
 
Stability
 
Act
(“PROMESA”).
●
 
Higher interest income from commercial loans by
 
$154.2 million due to higher yield by
 
130 basis points and higher volume of
$2.0 billion.
●
 
Higher interest
 
income from
 
consumer loans
 
by $52.0
 
million mostly
 
due to
 
a higher
 
average volume of
 
personal loans
 
and
credit cards.
●
 
Higher interest income from construction loans by $10.7
 
million due to higher yield by 310 basis points.
Prepayment penalties,
 
late fees
 
collected and
 
the amortization
 
of premiums
 
on purchased
 
loans are
 
included as
 
part of
 
the loan
yield. Interest income related to these items for the six-months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $12.8 million, compared to $28.9
million
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
period
 
of
 
2022.
 
The
 
decrease
 
of
 
$16.1
 
million
 
is
 
mainly
 
related
 
to
 
lower
 
amortized
 
fees
 
resulting
 
from
 
the
forgiveness of PPP loans, lower amortization of premium
 
on auto loans purchased and resulting
 
from the cancellation of PCD loans.

Provision for Credit Losses - Loans Held-in-Portfolio
 
and Unfunded Commitments
For the quarter ended June 30, 2023,
 
the Corporation recorded an expense of $37.8
 
million for its reserve for credit losses related to
loans held-in-portfolio and
 
unfunded commitments. The
 
provision for credit
 
loss related to
 
the loans-held-in-portfolio for
 
the quarter
ended June 30, 2023
 
was $35.7 million, compared to
 
a provision expense of $9.9
 
million for the quarter ended
 
June 30, 2022. The
provision expense
 
was mainly
 
driven by
 
specific reserves
 
for collateral
 
dependent U.S.
 
commercial and
 
P.R.
 
construction loans,
changes
 
in
 
macroeconomic
 
scenarios,
 
higher
 
loan
 
volumes
 
and
 
migration
 
of
 
P.R.
 
consumer
 
credit
 
scores,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
changes in the assignments of
 
probability weights to macroeconomic scenarios and
 
reduction in qualitative reserves. The
 
provision
related
 
to
 
unfunded
 
commitments
 
for
 
the
 
second
 
quarter
 
of
 
2023
 
was
 
$2.2
 
million,
 
compared
 
to
 
the
 
reserve
 
release
 
related
 
to
unfunded commitments of $0.2 million for the same
 
period of 2022.
 
For the quarter ended
 
June 30, 2023, the
 
Corporation recorded a provision for
 
credit loss of $28.4
 
million for loans-held-in-portfolio
for the
 
BPPR segment,
 
compared to
 
a provision
 
expense of
 
$9.1 million
 
for the
 
quarter ended
 
June 30,
 
2022. The
 
Popular U.S.
segment recorded
 
a provision
 
of $7.3
 
million for
 
the quarter
 
ended June
 
30, 2023,
 
compared to
 
a provision
 
of $0.7
 
million for
 
the
same quarter in 2022.
 
For the six-months ended June 30,2023, the Corporation recorded a provision for credit loss of $85.6 million for its reserve for credit
losses related to loans
 
held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments.
 
The provision expense related to
 
the loans-held-in-portfolio for
the six-months
 
ended June
 
30,2023 was
 
$82.8 million,
 
compared to
 
the reserve
 
release of
 
$4.5 million
 
for the
 
six-months ended
June
 
30,2022.
 
The
 
higher
 
provision
 
in
 
2023
 
is
 
attributable
 
to
 
higher
 
loan
 
volumes,
 
migrations
 
in
 
credit
 
scores
 
and
 
changes
 
in
economic variables
 
related to
 
consumer loan
 
portfolios. The
 
provision for
 
unfunded commitments
 
for the
 
six-months ended
 
June
30,2023 reflected an expense of $2.8 million,
 
compared to a provision benefit of $1.0 million
 
for the same period of 2022.
The
 
provision for
 
credit
 
losses for
 
the BPPR
 
segment
 
was an
 
expense of
 
$73.6 million
 
for the
 
six-months ended
 
June 30,2023,
compared
 
to
 
a
 
benefit
 
of
 
$3.5
 
million
 
for
 
the
 
six-months
 
ended
 
June
 
30,2022.
 
The
 
Popular
 
U.S.
 
segment
 
recorded
 
a
 
provision
expense of $9.2
 
million for the
 
six-months ended June
 
30,2023, compared to a
 
benefit of $1.0
 
million for the
 
same period in
 
2022.
The
 
provision
 
for
 
the
 
six-months
 
ended
 
June
 
30,2022
 
incorporated
 
updated
 
macroeconomic
 
scenarios
 
for
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
and
 
the
United States.
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the total
 
allowance for
 
credit losses
 
for loans
 
held-in-portfolio amounted to
 
$700.2 million,
 
compared to
 
$720.3
million as of December 31, 2022.
 
The ratio of the allowance
 
for credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was
 
2.12% at June 30, 2023,
compared
 
to
 
2.25%
 
at
 
December 31,
 
2022.
 
During
 
the
 
first
 
quarter,
 
the
 
Corporation adopted
 
ASU
 
2022-02
 
which
 
resulted
 
in
 
a
reduction of approximately $46 million, $29 million net of tax, in the reserve related to
 
TDR which was recorded as an adjustment to
the beginning balance of retained earnings.
 
As discussed in Note 9 to
 
the Consolidated Financial Statements, within the process
 
to
estimate its
 
ACL, the
 
Corporation applies probability
 
weightings to the
 
outcomes of simulations
 
using Moody’s Analytics’
 
Baseline,
S3 (pessimistic) and S1 (optimistic) scenarios. The baseline scenario is assigned the highest probability, followed by the pessimistic
scenario given
 
the uncertainties
 
in the
 
economic outlook
 
and downside
 
risk. During
 
the second
 
quarter of
 
2023, the
 
Corporation
further increased the probability weight assigned to the baseline scenario resulting in a decrease in the ACL of $5.8 million. Refer to
Note 9
 
to the
 
Consolidated Financial Statements,
 
for additional information
 
on the
 
Corporation’s methodology to
 
estimate its
 
ACL.
Refer to
 
the Credit
 
Risk section
 
of this
 
MD&A for
 
a detailed
 
analysis of
 
net charge-offs,
 
non-performing assets,
 
the allowance
 
for
credit losses and selected loan losses statistics.
Provision for Credit Losses – Investment Securities
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the total
 
allowance for
 
credit losses
 
for this
 
portfolio amounted
 
to
 
$6.1
 
million, compared
 
to
 
$6.9 million
 
as of
December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 7
to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information on the ACL for this portfolio.
137
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest
 
income
 
amounted to
 
$160.5
 
million
 
for the
 
quarter ended
 
June
 
30,
 
2023, compared
 
to
 
$157.4
 
million
 
for the
 
same
quarter of the previous year. The main factors that contributed to the variance
 
in non-interest income were:
●
 
higher
 
other
 
service
 
fees
 
by
 
$12.8 million,
 
principally
 
at
 
the
 
BPPR
 
segment,
 
due
 
to
 
higher credit
 
card
 
fees
 
by
 
$4.5
 
million
mainly in
 
interchange income
 
resulting from
 
higher transactional
 
volumes,
 
higher merchant
 
acquiring fees
 
from the
 
revenue
sharing agreement with Evertec, Inc.
 
by $4.0 million and higher insurance fees by
 
$2.6 million; and
●
 
a
 
favorable variance
 
in
 
the fair
 
value adjustments
 
of
 
equity securities
 
of
 
$5.5 million,
 
primarily related
 
to
 
securities
 
held
 
for
benefit plans which have an offsetting effect in personnel
 
costs;
partially offset by:
●
 
lower income from mortgage
 
banking activities by $11.3
 
million due to an
 
unfavorable variance of $8.5 million
 
in the fair value
adjustments
 
of
 
mortgage
 
servicing
 
rights,
 
including
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
runoff,
 
and
 
lower
 
realized
 
gains
 
on
 
closed
derivatives by
 
$2.3 million
 
due to
 
lower securitization
 
activity as
 
the Corporation
 
determined to
 
retain its
 
FHA/VA-guaranteed
mortgage loan originations as held-for-investment
 
in the third quarter of 2022; and
●
 
lower service charges
 
on deposit accounts by
 
$4.0 million mainly
 
due to lower
 
returned ACH fees due
 
to the change in
 
policy
of eliminating insufficient funds and modifying overdraft fees
 
implemented in the third quarter of 2022.
Non-interest income amounted to
 
$322.4 million for
 
the six months ended
 
June 30, 2023,
 
compared to $312.1 million
 
for the same
period of the previous year. The main factors that contributed to the
 
variance in non-interest income were:
●
 
higher other
 
service fees
 
by $25.8
 
million, principally
 
at the
 
BPPR segment,
 
due to
 
higher credit
 
card fees
 
by $11.3
 
million
mainly in
 
interchange income
 
resulting from
 
higher transactional
 
volumes, higher
 
merchant acquiring
 
fees from
 
the revenue
sharing agreement with
 
Evertec,
 
Inc.
 
by $7.5 million,
 
higher debit card fees
 
by $2.1 million
 
and higher insurance fees
 
by $2.3
million; and
●
 
a
 
favorable variance
 
in
 
the fair
 
value adjustments
 
of
 
equity securities
 
of
 
$8.7 million,
 
primarily related
 
to
 
securities
 
held
 
for
benefit plans which have an offsetting effect in personnel
 
costs;
partially offset by:
●
 
lower income from mortgage banking activities by $16.7 million due to an unfavorable variance of $10.9 million in the fair value
adjustments
 
of
 
mortgage
 
servicing
 
rights,
 
including
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
runoff,
 
and
 
lower
 
realized
 
gains
 
on
 
closed
derivatives by $6.4 million; and
●
 
lower service charges
 
on deposit accounts
 
by $10.1 million
 
mainly due to
 
lower returned ACH
 
fees by $7.9
 
million due to
 
the
change in policy of eliminating insufficient funds and
 
modifying overdraft fees implemented in the third
 
quarter of 2022.
138
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses amounted to $460.3 million for the
 
quarter ended June 30, 2023, an
 
increase of $54.0 million, when compared
with the same quarter of 2022. The variance
 
in operating expenses was driven primarily by:
●
 
higher personnel costs
 
by $22.7 million
 
mainly due
 
to higher
 
salaries by
 
$23.1 million as
 
a result
 
of merit
 
and market related
increases, minimum
 
salary increases
 
during the
 
first quarter
 
of 2023
 
and higher
 
headcount,
 
an increase
 
in health
 
insurance
costs by $3.9 million, and higher
 
payroll taxes and other compensation expenses by $7.2 million;
 
partially offset by a decrease
in incentive compensation and profit-sharing accrual by $11.4 million;
 
●
 
higher
 
professional
 
fees
 
by
 
$11.7
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
advisory
 
services
 
related
 
to
 
corporate
 
initiatives
 
focused
 
on
regulatory,
 
compliance,
 
cyber
 
security
 
efforts
 
and
 
transformation
 
related
 
projects
 
to
 
expand
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
digital
capabilities and modernize its technology platform;
●
 
higher processing and
 
transactional services expenses by
 
$5.8 million mainly
 
due to broad
 
based retail customers'
 
debit card
replacement costs incurred during the second quarter
 
of 2023 of $3.5
 
million;
●
 
higher business
 
promotion expenses
 
by $3.7
 
million mainly
 
due to
 
higher customer
 
rewards
 
programs
 
expense in
 
our credit
card business;
●
 
higher
 
other
 
operating
 
expenses
 
by
 
$4.6
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
pension
 
plan
 
cost
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
annual
 
changes
 
in
actuarial assumptions; and
●
 
lower other
 
real estate
 
owned (OREO)
 
benefit by
 
$4.5 million
 
mainly due
 
to lower
 
gain on
 
sale of
 
mortgage and
 
commercial
properties.
 
Operating
 
expenses
 
amounted
 
to
 
$901.0
 
million
 
for
 
the
 
six
 
months
 
ended
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
an
 
increase
 
of
 
$92.4
 
million
 
when
compared with the same period of 2022, driven primarily
 
by:
●
 
higher personnel costs
 
by $54.4 million
 
mainly due
 
to higher
 
salaries by
 
$49.8 million as
 
a result
 
of merit
 
and market related
increases, minimum
 
salary increases
 
during the
 
first quarter
 
of 2023
 
and higher
 
headcount, an
 
increase in
 
health insurance
costs
 
by
 
$6.5
 
million,
 
and
 
higher
 
payroll
 
taxes
 
and
 
other
 
compensation
 
expenses
 
by
 
$14.1
 
million;
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
a
decrease in incentive compensation and profit-sharing
 
accrual by $15.8 million;
 
●
 
higher
 
professional
 
fees
 
by
 
$8.3
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
advisory
 
services
 
related
 
to

initiatives
 
focused
 
on
regulatory,
 
compliance,

to
 
expand
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
digital
capabilities and modernize its technology platform;
●
 
higher processing and
 
transactional services expenses by
 
$8.7 million mainly
 
due to broad
 
based retail customers'

replacement costs
 
incurred during the
 
second quarter
 
of 2023
 
of $3.4
 
million, higher
 
credit and
 
debit card processing
 
related
fees by $4.7 million mainly due to higher
 
volume of transactions;
●
 
higher business
 
promotion expenses
 
by $7.5
 
million mainly
 
due to
 
higher customer
 
rewards
 
programs
 
expense in
 
our credit
card business by $5.0 million;
●
 
higher
 
other
 
operating
 
expenses by
 
$5.0
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher pension
 
plan
 
cost
 
by
 
$9.6
 
million
 
due
 
to
 
changes
 
in

partially offset by $4.4 million of lower sundry
 
losses; and
 
●
 
lower other
 
real estate
 
owned (OREO)
 
benefit by
 
$5.5 million
 
mainly due
 
to lower

commercial
properties; partially offset by higher claim reimbursement.
The Corporation embarked on a
 
broad-based multi-year, technological and
 
business process transformation during the second

Income Taxes
For the quarter
 
and six months
 
ended June 30,
 
2023, the corporation recorded
 
an income tax
 
expense of $43.5 and
 
$89.8 million,
respectively, with an
 
effective tax rate (ETR) of
 
22.4%, and $22.5%,
 
respectively, compared to
 
income tax expense of $64.2 million
and $114.7 million
 
with an effective tax rate of
 
23.3% and 21.3% for the quarter
 
and six months ended June 30, 2022,
 
respectively.
The decrease in income tax expense for the quarter
 
and six months period ended June 30, 2023,
 
reflects the impact of lower pre-tax
income.
At June 30, 2023, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset amounting to $0.9 billion, net of a valuation allowance of $0.5 billion.
The net deferred tax asset related to the U.S.
 
operations was $0.3 billion, net of
 
a valuation allowance of $0.4 billion.
Refer to
 
Note 31
 
to the
 
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements for
 
a reconciliation
 
of the
 
statutory income
 
tax rate
 
to the
 
effective tax
rate and additional information on the income
 
tax expense and deferred tax asset balances.
REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS
The Corporation’s
 
reportable segments
 
for managerial
 
reporting purposes
 
consist of
 
Banco Popular
 
de Puerto
 
Rico and
 
Popular
U.S. A Corporate group
 
has been defined to support the reportable
 
segments.
 
 
For
 
a
 
description
 
of
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
reportable
 
segments,
 
including
 
additional
 
financial
 
information
 
and
 
the
 
underlying
management accounting process, refer to Note 33
 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The Corporate group reported a net income of $4.7 million for the quarter
 
ended June 30, 2023, compared with a net income of $4.8
million for the same quarter of the previous year. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Corporate group reported net income
of $6.0 million, compared to a net income of $11.1 million for the same period of the previous year. The decrease in net income was
attributed to the equity pickup of $15.0 million for
 
the six months ended June 30,2022 from the investment in Evertec, Inc
 
that is not
reflected in 2023 as the Corporation sold its entire
 
ownership stake in Evertec in August 2022.
 
Highlights on the earnings results for the reportable
 
segments are discussed below:
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
 
The Banco
 
Popular de
 
Puerto Rico
 
reportable segment’s
 
net income
 
amounted to
 
$131.8 million
 
for the
 
quarter ended
 
June 30,
2023, compared
 
with net
 
income of
 
$179.6 million
 
for the
 
same quarter
 
of
 
the previous
 
year.
 
The factors
 
that contributed
 
to the
variance in the financial results included the following:
 
●
 
Higher net interest income by $5.3 million mainly
 
due to:
●
 
higher
 
interest
 
income
 
from
 
money
 
market
 
and
 
investment
 
securities
 
by
 
$89.4
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
yields driven by the increase in interest rates,
141
●
 
higher interest income from loans by $87.8 million mainly
 
due to higher average balances from commercial and
consumer loans, mainly from credit cards and personal
 
loans,
partially offset by
●
 
higher interest
 
expense on
 
deposits by
 
$171.7 million
 
mainly due
 
to higher
 
costs on
 
the market-linked
 
Puerto
Rico
 
government
 
deposits,
 
and
 
the
 
higher interest
 
rate
 
environment’s
 
impact on
 
the cost
 
of
 
NOW accounts,
time deposits, and savings deposits.
The
 
net
 
interest
 
margin
 
for
 
the
 
quarter
 
ended
 
June
 
30,
 
2023
 
was
 
3.21%
 
compared
 
to
 
3.02%
 
for
 
the
 
same
 
quarter
 
in
 
the
previous year. The
 
increase in net interest margin is
 
driven by higher yields from investments securities
 
and loans, particularly
commercial and consumer loans, due to the increase
 
in rates;
 
partially offset by higher cost of deposits.
●
 
A provision
 
for loan
 
losses expense
 
of $29.3
 
million, compared
 
to a
 
provision expense
 
of $8.8
 
million in
 
quarter ended
June 30, 2022, or an unfavorable variance of $20.5 million mainly driven
 
by specific reserves for collateral dependent P.R.
construction loans, changes in macroeconomic scenarios and higher loan volumes and migration
 
of P.R.
 
consumer credit
scores, partially offset by changes in the assignments of probability weights to macroeconomic scenarios and reduction in
qualitative reserves;
●
 
Non-interest income was lower by $0.6 million mainly due
 
to:
●
 
lower income
 
from mortgage banking
 
activities by $11.0
 
million mainly due
 
to an
 
unfavorable variance of
 
$9.0
million in
 
the fair
 
value adjustment
 
of mortgage
 
service rights
 
and lower
 
gains
 
of $2.1
 
million from
 
derivative
positions
 
due
 
to
 
lower
 
securitization
 
activity
 
as
 
the
 
Corporation
 
determined to
 
retain
 
its
 
FHA/VA-guaranteed
mortgage loan originations as held-for-investment
 
in the third quarter 2022.
●
 
lower service charges on
 
deposit accounts by $3.7
 
million, mainly due to
 
lower ACH fees due
 
to the change in
policy of eliminating insufficient fund fees and modifying
 
overdraft fees implemented in the third quarter
 
of 2022,
partially offset by
●
 
Higher
 
other
 
service
 
fees
 
by
 
$11.6
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher credit
 
card
 
fees
 
by
 
$4.5
 
million
 
as
 
result
 
of
higher
 
interchange
 
transactional
 
volumes,
 
and
 
higher
 
merchant
 
acquiring
 
fees
 
from
 
the
 
revenue
 
sharing
agreement with Evertec Inc. by $4.0 million.
●
 
Higher operating expenses by $48.3 million mostly due
 
to:
●
 
higher personnel costs by $15.2 million driven by higher salaries due to minimum and other salary adjustments,
and increase in headcount;
●
 
higher
 
business
 
promotions
 
by
 
$3.6
 
million
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
customer
 
rewards
 
expense
 
related
 
to
 
higher
transactional volumes;
●
 
lower net recoveries from OREO by
 
$4.6 million mainly due to lower average
 
gain per unit partially offset
 
by an
increase in units sold;
●
 
higher
 
other
 
operating
 
expenses
 
by
 
$10.1
 
million
 
due
 
to
 
$4.4
 
million
 
of
 
higher
 
pension
 
expense
 
based
 
on
actuarial assumptions and
 
higher charges allocated
 
from the
 
Corporate segment group
 
by $7.4 million,
 
mainly
from higher personnel costs and higher consulting
 
fees, including those related to the transformation
 
initiative;
 
●
 
higher professional fees of $10.9 million mainly due to
 
costs associated with several ongoing initiatives focused
on regulatory, compliance and cyber security efforts as well the Corporations transformation
 
initiative;
142
●
 
higher
 
processing
 
and
 
transactional
 
services
 
by
 
$5.8
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
credit
 
and
 
debit
 
card
processing
 
expense
 
as
 
result
 
of
 
higher
 
transactional
 
volumes,
 
reflecting
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
customer
 
purchase
activity;
 
partially offset by
●
 
lower technology
 
and software
 
expenses by
 
$3.1
 
million
 
in
 
part due
 
to
 
expense savings
 
associated with
 
the
acquired services from Evertec during the year 2022.
●
 
Lower income tax expense by $16.3 million is mainly
 
due lower income before tax.
 
For the
 
six months
 
ended June
 
30,2023, the
 
BPPR segment
 
recorded net
 
income of
 
$264.7 million
 
compared to
 
a net
 
income of
$358.2 million for the
 
same period of the
 
previous year. The
 
results for the six
 
months ended June 30,2022
 
reflect a release of
 
the
reserve
 
for
 
credit
 
losses
 
of
 
$4.9 million,
 
reflective of
 
the
 
credit
 
metrics
 
and
 
macroeconomic outlook,
 
at
 
the
 
time, compared
 
to
 
a
provision expense of $75.1 million for the
 
six months-period ended June 30,2023. The other factors
 
that contributed to the variance
in the financial results included the following:
●
 
Higher net interest income by $39.9 million mainly
 
due to:
●
 
higher
 
interest
 
income
 
from
 
money market
 
and
 
investment securities
 
by
 
$181.9 million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
yields
 
from
 
money market
 
investments,
 
U.S.
 
Treasury
 
securities and
 
mortgage
 
backed
 
securities due
 
to
 
the
increase in rates,
●
 
higher interest income from loans by $165.7 million mainly due to
 
higher average balance from commercial and
consumer loans;
 
partially offset by
●
 
higher interest
 
expense on
 
deposits by
 
$307.2 million
 
mainly due
 
to higher
 
costs on
 
the market-linked
 
Puerto
Rico
 
government
 
deposits, and
 
the
 
higher
 
interest
 
rate
 
environment’s
 
impact on
 
the cost
 
of
 
NOW accounts,
time deposits, and savings deposits.
The net
 
interest margin
 
for the
 
six months
 
ended June
 
30,2023 was
 
3.22% compared
 
to 2.84%
 
for the
 
same quarter
 
in the
previous year. The increase in net interest margin is driven by earning
 
assets mix; partially offset by higher cost of deposits.
●
 
An unfavorable variance
 
of $80.0 million
 
on the provision
 
for loan losses,
 
due to the
 
reserve release in
 
2022, which was
driven by changes in the credit metrics and the
 
macroeconomic outlook, at the time;
●
 
Non-interest income was higher by $10.9 million mainly
 
due to:
●
 
Higher other
 
service fees
 
by $24.3
 
million mainly
 
due to
 
higher credit card
 
fees by
 
$11.1
 
million as
 
a result
 
of
higher interchange transactional volumes and higher merchant
 
acquiring fees by $2.1 million;
 
●
 
Higher other
 
operating income
 
by $8.7
 
million mostly
 
due to
 
an insurance
 
policy reimbursement
 
gain of
 
$7.0
million during first quarter 2023;
 
partially offset by
●
 
lower income from mortgage banking
 
activities by $16.3 million mainly
 
due to an unfavorable variance
 
of $11.9
million in
 
the fair
 
value adjustment
 
of mortgage
 
service rights
 
and lower
 
gains
 
of $6.3
 
million from
 
derivative
positions
 
due
 
to
 
lower
 
securitization
 
activity
 
as
 
the
 
Corporation
 
determined to
 
retain
 
its
 
FHA/VA-guaranteed
mortgage loan originations as held-for-investment
 
in the third quarter of 2022.
143
●
 
lower service
 
charges on
 
deposit accounts
 
by $9.6
 
million principally due
 
to lower
 
returned ACH
 
fees by
 
$7.9
million due to the change in policy of eliminating insufficient fund
 
fees and modifying overdraft fees implemented
in the third quarter of 2022.
 
●
 
Higher operating expenses by $77.1 million mostly due
 
to:
●
 
higher
 
personnel
 
costs
 
by
 
$36.7
 
million
 
driven
 
by
 
minimum
 
and
 
other
 
salary
 
adjustments,
 
and
 
increase
 
in
headcount;
●
 
higher professional fees
 
by $10.0 million
 
mainly due
 
to costs
 
associated with initiatives
 
focused on
 
regulatory,
compliance and cyber security efforts as well as the transformation
 
initiative;
●
 
higher
 
business
 
promotions
 
by
 
$6.8
 
million
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
customer
 
rewards
 
expense
 
related
 
to
 
higher
transactional volumes;
●
 
higher other operating
 
expenses by $10.5
 
million due to
 
higher charges allocated from
 
the Corporate segment
group by $10.6
 
million, mainly from
 
higher personnel costs
 
and advisory services
 
related to the
 
transformation
initiative;
 
●
 
higher
 
processing
 
and
 
transactional
 
services
 
by
 
$8.8
 
million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
credit
 
and
 
debit
 
card
processing
 
expense
 
as
 
result
 
of
 
higher
 
transactional
 
volumes,
 
reflecting
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
customer
 
purchase
activity;
 
partially offset by
●
 
lower technology
 
and software
 
expenses by
 
$6.1 million
 
due
 
in part
 
to savings
 
associated with
 
the acquired
services from Evertec during 2022.
●
 
Lower income tax expense by $12.8 million is mainly
 
due lower income before tax.
 
Popular U.S.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the reportable segment of Popular U.S. reported a net income of $15.3 million, compared with
a net income
 
of $28.1 million for
 
the same quarter of
 
the previous year.
 
The factors that contributed
 
to the variance
 
in the financial
results included the following:
●
 
Lower
 
net interest income by $5.9 million due to:
●
 
higher interest
 
expense on
 
deposits by
 
$54.1 million
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
higher interest
 
rates
 
and
 
higher average
balance of time deposits gathered through its direct
 
online channel,
partially offset by
●
 
higher interest
 
income from
 
loans by
 
$36.1 million,
 
mainly from
 
growth in
 
the commercial
 
portfolio as
 
well as
higher yields due to increase in rates;
 
and
●
 
higher interest income
 
from money market
 
and investment securities
 
by $13.1 million
 
due to
 
higher yields due
to the increase in market rates.

interest margin for
 
the quarter
 
ended June
 
30, 2023
 
was 3.01%
 
compared to
 
3.76% for
 
the same
 
quarter in
 
the previous
year.
●
 
An unfavorable variance of $7.3 million
 
on the provision for loan losses
 
and unfunded commitments reflecting a provision
of $7.9
 
million for
 
the second
 
quarter of
 
2023, compared
 
to a
 
provision expense
 
of $0.6
 
million recorded
 
in the
 
quarter
ended June 30,2022,
 
mainly due to higher loan volumes and changes
 
in macroeconomic scenarios;
●
 
Higher operating expenses by $5.4 million mostly
 
due to:
 
●
 
higher personnel costs by $1.2 million due to salary revisions
 
and increase in headcount;
●
 
higher other
 
operating expenses
 
by $2.2
 
million due
 
to higher
 
charges allocated
 
from the
 
Corporate segment
group by $1.8 million mainly from higher personnel costs
 
and higher consulting fees.
●
 
Lower income tax expense by $4.8 million is related
 
to a lower income before tax.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the reportable segment of Popular
 
U.S. recorded a net income of $40.3 million, compared
with a
 
net income
 
of $55.1
 
million for
 
the same
 
period of
 
the previous
 
year.
 
The results
 
for the
 
six months
 
ended June
 
30,2022
reflect a
 
release of
 
the reserve
 
for credit
 
losses of
 
$1.4 million,
 
reflective of
 
the credit
 
metrics and
 
macroeconomic outlook
 
at that
time, compared to
 
a provision expense
 
of $10.0 million
 
for the six
 
months ended June
 
30,2023 reflecting updated
 
macroeconomic
scenarios and loan growth. The other factors
 
that contributed to the variance in the financial results
 
included the following:
●
 
Lowest net interest income by $2.4 million due
 
to:
●
 
higher interest expense on
 
deposits by $91.6 million
 
mainly due to higher
 
rates and higher
 
average balance of
time deposits gathered through this direct online
 
channel;
 
partially offset by
●
 
higher interest
 
income from
 
loans by
 
$72.6 million,
 
mainly from
 
growth in
 
the commercial
 
portfolio as
 
well as
higher yields due to increase in rates;
 
and
●
 
higher income
 
from money
 
market and
 
investment securities
 
by $19.4
 
million due
 
to higher
 
yields and
 
higher
average balance;
The net interest margin for
 
the six months ended June
 
30,2023 was 3.17% compared to
 
3.66% for the same period
 
in the previous
year.
●
 
An
 
unfavorable variance
 
of
 
$11.4
 
million on
 
the provision
 
for loan
 
losses
 
and unfunded
 
commitments,
 
reflective of
 
the
provision
 
expense
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
2023
 
versus
 
the
 
release
 
of
 
the
 
reserve
 
for
 
credit
 
losses
 
in
 
the
 
previous
 
year,
 
as
discussed above;

operating expenses
 
by $5.4
 
million due

Deposits
The Corporation’s
 
deposits totaled
 
$64.0 billion
 
at June
 
30, 2023,
 
compared to
 
$61.2 billion
 
at December
 
31, 2022.
 
The deposits
increase of $2.8
 
billion was mainly in
 
public sector and commercial accounts
 
at BPPR coupled with
 
an increase in time
 
deposits at
PB
 
gathered
 
through
 
its
 
direct
 
channel,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
a
 
decrease
 
in
 
non-interest
 
bearing
 
demand
 
deposit
 
accounts
 
at
 
both
BPPR and
 
PB. At
 
June 30,
 
2023, Puerto
 
Rico public
 
sector deposits
 
amounted to
 
$18.5 billion.
 
The rate
 
at which
 
public deposit
balances
 
may
 
change
 
is
 
uncertain
 
and
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict.
 
The
 
receipt
 
by
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Government
 
of
 
additional
 
hurricane
recovery related Federal assistance and seasonal tax collections, could increase
 
public deposit balances at BPPR in the near
 
term.
The amount and timing of any reduction is likely
 
to be impacted by, for example, the speed at which federal assistance
 
is distributed,
the financial
 
condition, liquidity
 
and cash
 
management practices
 
of the
 
Puerto Rico
 
Government and
 
its instrumentalities
 
and the
implementation
 
of
 
fiscal
 
and
 
debt
 
adjustment
 
plans
 
approved
 
pursuant
 
to
 
PROMESA
 
or
 
other
 
actions
 
mandated
 
by
 
the
 
Fiscal
Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the
 
“Oversight Board”).
 
As of June 30, 2023, approximately 29% of the Corporation’s deposits are
 
public fund deposits from the Government of Puerto Rico,
municipalities
 
and
 
government
 
instrumentalities
 
and
 
corporations.
 
These
 
deposits
 
are
 
indexed
 
to
 
short-term
 
market
 
rates
 
and
fluctuate
 
in
 
cost
 
with
 
changes
 
in
 
those
 
rates
 
with
 
a
 
one-quarter
 
lag,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
contractual
 
terms.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
these
deposits’ costs
 
have generally
 
lagged variable
 
asset repricing.
 
Generally,
 
these deposits
 
require that
 
the bank
 
pledge high
 
credit
quality securities
 
as collateral; therefore,
 
liquidity risks
 
arising from public
 
sector deposit
 
outflows are lower.

Liquidity
section in this MD&A for additional information
 
on the Corporation’s funding sources.

REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Corporation, BPPR and PB
 
are subject to regulatory capital
 
requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board.
 
The risk-
based
 
capital
 
standards
 
applicable
 
to
 
the
 
Corporation,
 
BPPR
 
and
 
PB
 
(“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 June 30,
 
2023, the Corporation’s, BPPR’s
 
and PB’s capital
 
ratios continue to
 
exceed the minimum requirements
 
for being “well-
capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.

The Basel III capital rules provide that
 
a depository institution will be deemed to be
 
well capitalized if it maintains a leverage ratio
 
of
at least 5%, a common equity Tier
 
1 ratio of at least 6.5%, a
 
Tier 1 capital ratio of
 
at least 8% and a total risk-based
 
ratio of at least
10%.
 
Management
 
has
 
determined that
 
as
 
of
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
Corporation,
 
BPPR
 
and
 
PB
 
continue to
 
exceed
 
the
 
minimum
requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel
 
III capital rules.
 
Pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
adoption
 
of
 
the
 
CECL
 
accounting
 
standard
 
on
 
January
 
1,
 
2020,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
elected
 
to
 
use
 
the
 
five-year
transition
 
period option
 
as
 
provided in
 
the
 
final
 
interim
 
regulatory capital
 
rules effective
 
March 31,
 
2020.
 
The
 
five-year
 
transition
period provision delays for two
 
years the estimated 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
 
the
 
initial
 
two-year
 
delay.
 
As
 
of
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
Corporation had phased-in 50% of
 
the cumulative CECL deferral with
 
the remaining impact to
 
be recognized over the
 
remainder of
the three-year transition period.
On April 9,
 
2020, federal banking regulators
 
issued an interim final
 
rule to modify
 
the Basel III
 
regulatory capital rules applicable
 
to
banking organizations to allow
 
those organizations participating in
 
the Paycheck Protection Program
 
(“PPP”) established under the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief
 
and Economic Security
 
Act (the
 
“CARES Act”) to
 
neutralize the regulatory
 
capital effects
 
of participating in
the
 
program.
 
Specifically,
 
the
 
agencies
 
have
 
clarified
 
that
 
banking
 
organizations,
 
including
 
the
 
Corporation
 
and
 
its
 
Bank
subsidiaries, are permitted to
 
assign a zero
 
percent risk weight to
 
PPP loans for
 
purposes of determining risk-weighted assets
 
and
risk-based
 
capital
 
ratios.
 
Additionally,
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
facilitate
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
Paycheck
 
Protection
 
Program
 
Liquidity
 
Facility
 
(the
 
“PPPL
Facility”), which provides Federal Reserve Bank loans to eligible financial institutions such as the Corporation’s Bank subsidiaries to
fund PPP loans, the
 
agencies further clarified that,
 
for purposes of determining
 
leverage ratios, a banking
 
organization is permitted
to exclude from
 
total average assets PPP
 
loans that have
 
been pledged as collateral
 
for a PPPL
 
Facility. As
 
of June 30,
 
2023, the
Corporation has $12 million in PPP loans and no
 
loans were pledge as collateral for PPPL Facilities.
The increase in the common equity Tier
 
I capital ratio, Tier I
 
capital ratio, and total capital ratio as
 
of June 30, 2023 as compared to
December 31, 2022 was mainly to the six months period
 
earnings.
 
The increase in leverage capital ratio was also mainly due to
 
the
period earnings.
Non-GAAP financial measures
The tangible common
 
equity, tangible
 
common equity ratio,
 
tangible assets and
 
tangible book value
 
per common share,
 
which are
presented
 
in
 
the
 
table
 
that
 
follows,
 
are
 
non-GAAP
 
measures.
 
Management
 
and
 
many
 
stock
 
analysts
 
use
 
the
 
tangible
 
common
equity ratio and tangible book value per common share in
 
conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the
 
capital
adequacy of banking organizations with significant
 
amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets,
 
typically stemming from the use of
the
 
purchase
 
accounting
 
method
 
for
 
mergers
 
and
 
acquisitions.
 
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
 
the Corporation
 
calculates its
 
tangible common
 
equity,
 
tangible assets
and any other related measures may differ from that of
 
other companies reporting measures with similar
 
names.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Market / Interest Rate Risk
The financial results and capital levels of the
 
Corporation are constantly exposed to market, interest
 
rate and liquidity risks.
Market risk
 
refers to the
 
risk of a
 
reduction in the
 
Corporation’s capital due
 
to changes in
 
the market valuation
 
of its assets
 
and/or
liabilities.
 
Most of the assets
 
subject to market valuation risk
 
are debt securities classified as
 
available-for-sale. Refer to Notes 6
 
and 7 to the
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements for
 
further information
 
on the
 
debt
 
securities available-for-sale
 
and
 
held-to-maturity portfolios.
Debt securities
 
classified as
 
available-for-sale amounted
 
to $17.2
 
billion as
 
of June
 
30, 2023.
 
Other assets
 
subject to
 
market risk
include loans held-for-sale, which amounted to $55 million, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) which amounted to $121 million, and
securities classified as “trading”, which amounted
 
to $29 million, as of June 30, 2023.
 
Interest Rate Risk (“IRR”)
The Corporation’s net interest income is subject
 
to various categories of interest rate risk,
 
including repricing, basis, yield curve and
option risks.
 
In managing
 
interest rate
 
risk, management may
 
alter the
 
mix of
 
floating and
 
fixed rate
 
assets and
 
liabilities, change
pricing
 
schedules,
 
adjust
 
maturities
 
through
 
sales
 
and
 
purchases
 
of
 
investment
 
securities,
 
and
 
enter
 
into
 
derivative
 
contracts,
among other alternatives.
 
Interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
management
 
is
 
an
 
active
 
process
 
that
 
encompasses
 
monitoring
 
loan
 
and
 
deposit
 
flows
 
complemented
 
by
investment and funding
 
activities. Effective management of
 
interest rate risk begins
 
with understanding the dynamic
 
characteristics
of assets and
 
liabilities and determining the
 
appropriate rate risk position
 
given line of
 
business forecasts, management objectives,
market expectations and policy constraints.
Management utilizes various tools to assess IRR, including Net Interest
 
Income (“NII”) simulation modeling, static gap analysis, and
Economic Value
 
of Equity
 
(“EVE”). The
 
three methodologies
 
complement each
 
other and
 
are used
 
jointly in
 
the evaluation
 
of the
Corporation’s IRR. NII
 
simulation modeling is
 
prepared for a
 
five-year period, which
 
in conjunction with
 
the EVE analysis,
 
provides
management a better view of long-term IRR.
Net interest
 
income simulation analysis
 
performed by legal
 
entity and on
 
a consolidated basis
 
is a
 
tool used
 
by the
 
Corporation in
estimating the
 
potential change
 
in net
 
interest income
 
resulting from
 
hypothetical changes
 
in interest
 
rates. Sensitivity
 
analysis is
calculated using a simulation model which incorporates
 
actual balance sheet figures detailed by maturity
 
and interest yields or costs.
 
Management assesses
 
interest rate
 
risk by
 
comparing various
 
NII simulations
 
under different
 
interest rate
 
scenarios that
 
differ in
direction of interest
 
rate changes, the
 
degree of change
 
and the projected
 
shape of the
 
yield curve. For
 
example, the types
 
of rate
scenarios processed during the
 
quarter include flat
 
rates, implied forwards, and
 
parallel and non-parallel rate
 
shocks. Management
also performs analyses to isolate and measure basis
 
and prepayment risk exposures.
 
The asset
 
and liability
 
management group
 
performs validation
 
procedures on
 
various assumptions
 
used as
 
part of
 
the simulation
analyses as well as validations
 
of results on a
 
monthly basis. In addition, the
 
model and processes used to
 
assess IRR are subject
to independent validations according to the guidelines
 
established in the Model Governance and
 
Validation policy.
The Corporation processes NII
 
simulations under interest rate
 
scenarios in which the
 
yield curve is assumed
 
to rise and
 
decline by
the same
 
magnitude (parallel
 
shifts). The
 
rate scenarios
 
considered in
 
these market
 
risk simulations
 
reflect instantaneous
 
parallel
changes
 
of
 
-100,
 
-200,
 
+100,
 
+200
 
and
 
+400
 
basis
 
points
 
during the
 
succeeding
 
twelve-month period.
 
Simulation
 
analyses
 
are
based on many assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates across all yield curve points
 
and indexes, interest rate
spreads, loan prepayments
 
and deposit elasticity.
 
Thus, they should
 
not be
 
relied upon as
 
indicative of actual
 
results. Further,
 
the
estimates
 
do
 
not
 
contemplate
 
actions
 
that
 
management
 
could
 
take
 
to
 
respond
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
interest
 
rates.
 
Additionally,
 
the
Corporation is also subject to
 
basis risk in the
 
repricing of its assets and
 
liabilities, including the basis related
 
to using different rate
indexes for
 
the repricing
 
of assets and
 
liabilities, as
 
well as
 
the effect
 
of pricing
 
lags which
 
may be
 
contractual or
 
due to
 
historical
differences
 
in
 
the
 
timing
 
of
 
management
 
responses
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
rate
 
environment.
 
By
 
their
 
nature,
 
these
 
forward-looking
computations are only
 
estimates and may
 
be different from
 
what may actually
 
occur in the
 
future. The following
 
table presents the
results of the simulations at June 30,
 
2023 and December 31, 2022, assuming a static
 
balance sheet and parallel changes over flat
spot rates over a one-year time horizon:

As
 
of
 
June
 
30, 2023,
 
NII simulations
 
show the
 
Corporation has
 
a relatively
 
neutral sensitivity
 
position as
 
compared
 
to
 
a
 
slightly
liability sensitive position as of December 31, 2022. The primary reasons for the variation in sensitivity are changes in balance sheet
composition driven by an increase in
 
overnight Fed Funds on the asset
 
side and higher in Puerto
 
Rico public sector deposits which
are indexed
 
to market
 
rates. These
 
results suggest
 
that changes
 
in the
 
Corporation’s net
 
interest income
 
are driven
 
primarily by
portfolio management strategies,
 
variations in
 
balance sheet mix
 
and changes in
 
liability costs,
 
primarily Puerto Rico
 
public sector
deposits that represented $18.5 billion or 29% of deposits as of June 30, 2023. In declining rate scenarios net interest income would
increase as
 
the decline
 
in the
 
cost
 
of these
 
deposits generates
 
a greater
 
benefit than
 
the changes
 
in asset
 
yields. In
 
rising rate
scenarios
 
Popular’s
 
sensitivity
 
profile
 
is
 
also
 
impacted
 
by
 
its
 
large
 
proportion
 
of
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
public
 
sector
 
deposits
 
which
 
are
indexed to
 
market rates.
 
As short-term
 
rates have
 
risen, the
 
cost of
 
these deposits
 
now increases
 
in sync
 
with market
 
rates and
therefore reduce the benefit banks typically have in rising
 
rate environments.
The Corporation’s
 
loan and
 
investment portfolios
 
are subject
 
to
 
prepayment risk,
 
which results
 
from the
 
ability of
 
a third-party
 
to
repay debt
 
obligations prior
 
to maturity.
 
Prepayment risk
 
also could
 
have a
 
significant impact
 
on the
 
duration of
 
mortgage-backed
securities
 
and
 
collateralized
 
mortgage
 
obligations
 
since
 
prepayments
 
could
 
shorten
 
(or
 
lower
 
prepayments
 
could
 
extend)
 
the
weighted average life of these portfolios.
Trading
 
The Corporation
 
engages in
 
trading activities
 
in the
 
ordinary course
 
of business
 
at its
 
subsidiaries, BPPR
 
and Popular
 
Securities.
Popular Securities’
 
trading activities
 
consist primarily
 
of market-making
 
activities to
 
meet expected
 
customers’ needs
 
related to
 
its
retail brokerage business,
 
and purchases and sales of U.S. Government and
 
government sponsored securities with the objective of
realizing gains
 
from expected
 
short-term price
 
movements. BPPR’s
 
trading activities consist
 
primarily of
 
holding U.S.
 
Government
sponsored
 
mortgage-backed securities
 
classified
 
as
 
“trading” and
 
hedging
 
the
 
related
 
market
 
risk
 
with
 
“TBA”
 
(to-be-announced)
market
 
transactions.
 
The
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
derive
 
spread
 
income
 
from
 
the
 
portfolio
 
and
 
not
 
to
 
benefit
 
from
 
short-term
 
market
movements. In
 
addition, BPPR
 
uses forward
 
contracts or
 
TBAs to
 
hedge its
 
securitization pipeline.
 
Risks related
 
to variations
 
in
interest rates
 
and market volatility
 
are hedged
 
with TBAs
 
that have
 
characteristics similar to
 
that of
 
the forecasted security
 
and its
conversion timeline.
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation held
 
trading securities
 
with a
 
fair value
 
of $29
 
million, representing approximately
 
0.04% of the
Corporation’s total
 
assets,
 
compared with
 
$28 million
 
and 0.04%,
 
respectively,
 
at December
 
31, 2022.
 
As shown
 
in Table
 
12, the
trading portfolio
 
consists principally
 
of mortgage-backed
 
securities and
 
U.S. Treasuries,
 
which at
 
June 30,
 
2023 were
 
investment
grade securities.

The Corporation’s trading activities are
 
limited by internal policies. For each
 
of the two subsidiaries, the
 
market risk assumed under
trading
 
activities
 
is
 
measured
 
by
 
the
 
5-day
 
net
 
value-at-risk
 
(“VAR”),
 
with
 
a
 
confidence
 
level
 
of
 
99%.
 
The
 
VAR
 
measures
 
the
maximum estimated loss that may occur over a
 
5-day holding period, given a 99% probability.
 
The
 
Corporation’s
 
trading
 
portfolio
 
had
 
a
 
5-day
 
VAR
 
of
 
approximately
 
$0.3
 
million
 
for
 
the
 
last
 
week
 
in
 
June
 
2023.
 
There
 
are
numerous assumptions
 
and estimates
 
associated with
 
VAR
 
modeling, and
 
actual results
 
could differ
 
from these
 
assumptions and
estimates. Backtesting is
 
performed to compare
 
actual results
 
against maximum estimated
 
losses, in order
 
to evaluate
 
model and
assumptions accuracy.
 
In the opinion of management, the size and composition
 
of the trading portfolio does not represent
 
a significant source of market risk
for the Corporation.
Liquidity
 
The objective
 
of effective
 
liquidity management
 
is to
 
ensure that
 
the Corporation
 
has sufficient
 
liquidity to
 
meet all
 
of its
 
financial
obligations, finance
 
expected future
 
growth,
 
fund
 
planned capital
 
distributions and
 
maintain a
 
reasonable safety
 
margin for
 
cash
needs under
 
both normal
 
and stressed market
 
conditions. The Board
 
of Directors
 
is responsible
 
for establishing the
 
Corporation’s
tolerance for liquidity risk,
 
including approving relevant risk limits and
 
policies. The Board of
 
Directors has delegated the monitoring
of
 
these risks
 
to
 
the Board’s
 
Risk Management
 
Committee and
 
the Asset/Liability
 
Management Committee.
 
The management
 
of
liquidity
 
risk,
 
on
 
a
 
long-term
 
and
 
day-to-day
 
basis,
 
is
 
the
 
responsibility
 
of
 
the
 
Corporate
 
Treasury
 
Division.
 
The
 
Corporation’s
Corporate
 
Treasurer
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
implementing
 
the
 
policies
 
and
 
procedures
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
and
 
for
monitoring
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
liquidity
 
position
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis.
 
Also,
 
the
 
Corporate
 
Treasury
 
Division coordinates
 
corporate
wide
 
liquidity
 
management
 
strategies
 
and
 
activities
 
with
 
the
 
reportable
 
segments,
 
oversees
 
policy
 
breaches
 
and
 
manages
 
the
escalation process.
 
The
 
Financial and
 
Operational Risk
 
Management Division
 
is
 
responsible for
 
the independent
 
monitoring and
reporting of adherence with established policies.
An
 
institution’s liquidity
 
may be
 
pressured if,
 
for example,
 
it experiences
 
a sudden
 
and unexpected
 
substantial cash
 
outflow due
deposit
 
outflows,
 
whether due
 
to a
 
loss of
 
confidence by
 
depositors, or
 
other reasons
 
exogenous events
 
such as
 
the COVID-19
pandemic,
 
a downgrading
 
of its
 
credit rating,
 
or some
 
other event
 
that causes
 
counterparties to
 
avoid exposure
 
to the
 
institution.
Factors that the Corporation does not control, such as the
 
economic outlook, adverse ratings of its principal markets, perceptions of
the financial services industry and regulatory changes,
 
could also affect its ability to obtain funding.
 
The Corporation
 
has adopted
 
policies and
 
limits to
 
monitor the
 
Corporation’s liquidity
 
position and
 
that of
 
its banking
 
subsidiaries.
Additionally, contingency funding
 
plans are used to
 
model various stress events
 
of different magnitudes and
 
affecting different time
horizons that assist
 
management in evaluating
 
the size of
 
the liquidity buffers
 
needed if those
 
stress events
 
occur. However,
 
such
models
 
may
 
not
 
predict
 
accurately
 
how
 
the
 
market
 
and
 
customers
 
might
 
react
 
to
 
every
 
event,
 
and
 
are
 
dependent
 
on
 
many
assumptions.
 
154
Deposits, including
 
customer deposits,
 
brokered deposits
 
and public
 
funds deposits,
 
continue to
 
be the
 
most significant
 
source of
funds for
 
the Corporation,
 
funding
 
90% of
 
the Corporation’s
 
total assets
 
at June
 
30, 2023
 
and 91%
 
at December
 
31, 2022.
 
The
ratio of
 
total ending loans
 
to deposits
 
was
 
52% at June
 
30, 2023
 
and December 31,
 
2022.
 
In addition to
 
traditional deposits, the
Corporation maintains borrowing
 
arrangements, which amounted
 
to approximately $1.4
 
billion in outstanding
 
balances at June
 
30,
2023 (December 31, 2022 -
 
$1.4 billion). A detailed description of
 
the Corporation’s borrowings, including their
 
terms, is included in
Note
 
16
 
to
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements.
 
Also,
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
Statements
 
of
 
Cash
 
Flows
 
in
 
the
 
accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements provide information
 
on the Corporation’s cash inflows and outflows.

further
 
information
 
on
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
major
 
funding
 
activities
 
and
 
needs,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
risks
involved in these activities.
Banking Subsidiaries
Primary
 
sources of
 
funding
 
for the
 
Corporation’s
 
banking subsidiaries
 
(BPPR and
 
PB
 
or,
 
collectively,
 
“the banking
 
subsidiaries”)
include
 
retail,
 
commercial
 
and
 
public
 
sector
 
deposits,
 
brokered
 
deposits,
 
unpledged
 
investment
 
securities,
 
mortgage
 
loan
securitization and, to a lesser extent, loan sales. In
 
addition, the Corporation maintains borrowing facilities with the FHLB and at the
discount window
 
of the
 
Federal Reserve
 
Bank of
 
New York
 
(the “FRB”)
 
and has
 
a considerable
 
amount of
 
collateral pledged
 
that
can be used to raise funds under these facilities.
 
During
 
the
 
second
 
quarter
 
of
 
2023
 
the
 
Corporation
 
had
 
no
 
material
 
incremental
 
use
 
of
 
its
 
available
 
liquidity
 
sources.
 
At
 
June
30,2023,
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
available
 
liquidity
 
increased
 
to
 
$20.1
 
billion
 
from
 
$17.0

Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements
 
for
 
additional
 
information
 
of
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
borrowing
 
facilities
available through its banking subsidiaries.
 
The principal
 
uses of
 
funds for
 
the banking
 
subsidiaries include
 
loan originations,
 
investment portfolio
 
purchases, loan
 
purchases
and repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios and operational
expenses. Also, the
 
banking subsidiaries assume liquidity
 
risk related to collateral
 
posting requirements for certain
 
activities mainly
in
 
connection
 
with
 
contractual
 
commitments,
 
recourse
 
provisions,
 
servicing
 
advances,
 
derivatives
 
and
 
credit
 
card
 
licensing
agreements.
 
The banking
 
subsidiaries maintain
 
sufficient funding
 
capacity to
 
address large
 
increases in
 
funding requirements
 
such as
 
deposit
outflows.
 
The
 
Corporation has
 
established
 
liquidity
 
guidelines
 
that
 
require
 
the
 
banking
 
subsidiaries
 
to
 
have
 
sufficient
 
liquidity
 
to
cover all short-term borrowings and a portion of deposits.
 
The Corporation’s ability to compete
 
successfully in the marketplace for
 
deposits, excluding brokered deposits, depends on various
factors, including pricing, service, convenience
 
and financial stability as
 
reflected by operating results and
 
financial condition, credit
ratings (by
 
nationally recognized credit
 
rating agencies), customer
 
confidence, and
 
importantly,
 
FDIC deposit
 
insurance coverage.
Deposits at all of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries are federally insured
 
(subject to FDIC limits) and this is expected to mitigate
the potential effect of the aforementioned risks.
Deposits are
 
a key
 
source of
 
funding. Refer
 
to Table
 
8 for
 
a breakdown
 
of deposits
 
by major
 
types. Core
 
deposits are
 
generated
from a large base of consumer,
 
corporate and public sector customers. Core deposits include certificate of
 
deposit under $250,000,
all
 
interest-bearing
 
transactional
 
deposit
 
accounts,
 
non-interest
 
bearing
 
deposits,
 
and
 
savings
 
deposits.
 
Core
 
deposits
 
exclude
brokered deposits and certificate of
 
deposits over $250,000.
 
Core deposits,
 
excluding P.R.
 
public funds that are
 
fully collateralized,
have
 
historically
 
provided
 
the
 
Corporation with
 
a
 
sizable
 
source
 
of
 
relatively stable
 
and
 
low-cost funds.
 
P.R.
 
public funds,
 
while
linked to
 
market interest
 
rates, provide
 
a stable
 
source of
 
funding with
 
an attractive
 
earnings spread.
 
Core deposits
 
totaled $59.5
billion, or
 
93% of
 
total deposits,
 
at June
 
30, 2023,
 
compared with
 
$57.6 billion,
 
or 94%
 
of total
 
deposits, at
 
December 31,
 
2022.
Core deposits financed 88% of the Corporation’s earning
 
assets at June 30, 2023, compared with 90%
 
at December 31, 2022.
 
The distribution by maturity of certificates of deposits with denominations of $250,000 and over at
 
June 30, 2023 is presented in the

In the event that
 
any of the Corporation’s
 
banking subsidiaries’ regulatory
capital
 
ratios fall
 
below those
 
required by
 
a well-capitalized
 
institution or
 
are subject
 
to capital
 
restrictions by
 
the regulators,
 
that
banking subsidiary faces
 
the risk of
 
not being able
 
to raise or
 
maintain brokered deposits
 
and faces limitations
 
on the rate
 
paid on
deposits, which
 
may hinder
 
the Corporation’s
 
ability to
 
effectively compete
 
in its
 
retail markets
 
and could
 
affect its
 
deposit raising
efforts.
 
Deposits from the public
 
sector represent
 
an important source of funds
 
for the Corporation. As
 
of June 30, 2023, total
 
public sector
deposits were $18.5 billion,
 
compared to $15.8 billion at December 31, 2022. Generally, these deposits require that the bank pledge
high credit quality securities as collateral;
 
therefore, liquidity risks arising from public sector deposit outflows are lower given that the
bank receives its
 
collateral in return.
 
This, now unpledged,
 
collateral can either
 
be financed via
 
repurchase agreements or
 
sold for
cash.
 
However,
 
there
 
are
 
some
 
timing
 
differences
 
between
 
the time
 
the
 
deposit
 
outflow occurs
 
and
 
when the
 
bank receives
 
its
collateral. Additionally,
 
the Corporation mainly
 
utilizes fixed-rate U.S.
 
Treasury debt
 
securities as collateral.
 
While these securities
have limited credit risk, they are subject to market
 
value risk based on changes in the interest rate environment.
 
When interest rates
increase, the value of this collateral decreases and could result in the Corporation having to provide additional collateral to cover the
same
 
amount
 
of
 
deposit
 
liabilities.
 
This
 
additional
 
collateral
 
could
 
reduce
 
unpledged
 
securities
 
otherwise
 
available
 
as
 
liquidity
sources to the Corporation.
 
At June 30, 2023,
 
management believes that the banking subsidiaries
 
had sufficient current and projected
 
liquidity sources to meet
their
 
anticipated
 
cash
 
flow
 
obligations,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
special
 
needs
 
and
 
off-balance
 
sheet
 
commitments,
 
in
 
the
 
ordinary
 
course
 
of
business and have sufficient
 
liquidity resources to address a
 
stress event. Although the
 
banking subsidiaries have historically been
able to replace
 
maturing deposits and advances,
 
no assurance can
 
be given that
 
they would be
 
able to replace
 
those funds in
 
the
future if the
 
Corporation’s financial condition
 
or general market
 
conditions were to
 
deteriorate. The Corporation’s
 
financial flexibility
will
 
be
 
severely constrained
 
if
 
the
 
banking subsidiaries
 
are
 
unable to
 
maintain access
 
to
 
funding
 
or
 
if
 
adequate financing
 
is
 
not
available to accommodate future financing needs at acceptable interest rates. The
 
banking subsidiaries also are required to deposit
cash or qualifying securities to meet margin requirements on repurchase
 
agreements and other collateralized borrowing facilities. To
the extent that
 
the value of securities
 
previously pledged as collateral
 
declines because of market
 
changes, the Corporation will
 
be
required to
 
deposit additional cash
 
or securities to
 
meet its
 
margin requirements, thereby
 
adversely affecting its
 
liquidity. Finally,
 
if
management
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
rely
 
more
 
heavily
 
on
 
more
 
expensive
 
funding
 
sources
 
to
 
meet
 
its
 
future
 
growth,
 
revenues
 
may
 
not
increase proportionately to cover costs. In this
 
case, profitability would be adversely affected.
The Corporation
 
monitors uninsured
 
deposits under
 
applicable FDIC
 
regulations.
 
Additionally,
 
the Corporation
 
monitors accounts
with balances over $250,000.
 
While the Corporation has a
 
diverse deposit base from retail, commercial,
 
corporate and government
clients,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
wholesale funding
 
sources such
 
as
 
brokered deposits,
 
it
 
considers
 
balance
 
in
 
excess
 
of
 
$250,000 to
 
have a
higher
 
potential
 
liquidity
 
risk.

Bank Holding Companies
The principal
 
sources of
 
funding for
 
the BHCs,
 
which are
 
Popular,
 
Inc.
 
(holding company
 
only) and
 
PNA, include
 
cash on
 
hand,
investment
 
securities,
 
dividends
 
received from
 
banking
 
and
 
non-banking subsidiaries,
 
asset sales,
 
credit
 
facilities
 
available from
affiliate banking subsidiaries and proceeds from potential securities offerings.
 
Dividends from banking and non-banking subsidiaries
are subject to various regulatory limits
 
and authorization requirements that are further described
 
below and that may limit the
 
ability
of those subsidiaries to act as a source of
 
funding to the BHCs.
The
 
principal
 
use
 
of
 
these
 
funds
 
includes
 
the
 
repayment
 
of
 
debt,
 
and
 
interest
 
payments
 
to
 
holders
 
of
 
senior
 
debt
 
and
 
junior
subordinated
 
deferrable
 
interest
 
(related
 
to
 
trust
 
preferred
 
securities),
 
the
 
payment
 
of
 
dividends
 
to
 
common
 
stockholders,
repurchases of the Corporation’s securities and capitalizing its
 
banking subsidiaries.
 
The outstanding balance
 
of notes payable
 
at the
 
BHCs amounted to
 
$891 million at
 
June 30,
 
2023 and $497
 
million at December
31, 2022.
The contractual maturities of the BHCs notes payable
 
at June 30, 2023 are presented in Table 16.

The Corporation’s 6.125% unsecured senior debt securities mature in September of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the BHCs had cash
and money
 
markets investments
 
totaling $657
 
million and
 
borrowing potential
 
of $211
 
million from
 
its secured
 
facility with
 
BPPR.
The BHCs’
 
liquidity position continues to be adequate with sufficient cash
 
on hand, investments and other sources of liquidity which
are expected to be enough to meet all interest payments and
 
dividend obligations during the foreseeable future. On
 
March 13, 2023,
the Corporation
 
issued $400
 
million aggregate
 
principal amount
 
of 7.25%
 
Senior Notes
 
due 2028
 
(the “Notes”)
 
in an
 
underwritten
public offering. The Corporation will use a portion of the
 
net proceeds of the 2028 Notes offering to redeem,
 
on August 14, 2023 the
outstanding
 
$300
 
million
 
aggregate
 
principal
 
amount
 
of
 
its
 
outstanding
 
6.125%
 
Senior
 
Notes
 
due
 
September
 
2023.
 
For
 
the
remainder of
 
year 2023,
 
debt service
 
at
 
the BHCs
 
is approximately
 
$24 million,
 
including $2
 
million from
 
the 6.125%
 
unsecured
senior
 
debt
 
which
 
will
 
be
 
redeemed on
 
August
 
14,
 
2023. Additionally,
 
the
 
Corporation’s
 
latest
 
quarterly dividend
 
was
 
$0.55
 
per
share or approximately $40 million per quarter.
The BHCs have in
 
the past borrowed in the
 
corporate debt market primarily to finance
 
their non-banking subsidiaries and refinance
debt obligations. These
 
sources of funding
 
are more costly
 
due to the
 
fact that two
 
out of the
 
three principal credit
 
rating agencies
rate the Corporation below “investment grade”, which
 
affects the Corporation’s cost and
 
ability to raise funds in
 
the capital markets.
Factors that the Corporation
 
does not control, such
 
as the economic outlook,
 
interest rate volatility,
 
inflation, disruptions in the
 
debt
market, among others,
 
could also affect
 
its ability to
 
obtain funding. The
 
Corporation has an
 
automatic shelf registration
 
statement
filed and effective
 
with the Securities and Exchange
 
Commission, which permits the Corporation
 
to issue an
 
unspecified amount of
debt or equity securities.
Non-Banking Subsidiaries
The
 
principal
 
sources
 
of
 
funding
 
for
 
the
 
non-banking
 
subsidiaries
 
include
 
internally
 
generated
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
operations,
 
loan
sales, repurchase agreements, capital
 
injections and borrowed funds
 
from their direct
 
parent companies or the
 
holding companies.
The principal uses of funds for the non-banking
 
subsidiaries include repayment of maturing debt,
 
operational expenses and payment
of dividends to the
 
BHCs. The liquidity needs
 
of the non-banking subsidiaries
 
are minimal since most
 
of them are
 
funded internally
from
 
operating cash
 
flows
 
or from
 
intercompany borrowings
 
or capital
 
contributions from
 
their holding
 
companies. During
 
the six
months ended June 30, 2023, Popular, Inc. made capital contributions of $1.3 million to its wholly owned subsidiary,
 
Popular Impact
Fund.
 
Dividends
During
 
the
 
six
 
months
 
ended June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
Corporation declared
 
cash
 
dividends of
 
$1.10
 
per
 
common
 
share
 
outstanding
($79.2 million in
 
the aggregate). The
 
dividends for the
 
Corporation’s Series A
 
preferred stock amounted to
 
$0.7 million. During
 
the
six months ended June 30, 2023, the BHCs received dividends amounting to $100 million from BPPR, $50 million from PNA and
 
$4
million from
 
its non-banking subsidiaries.
 
In addition,
 
during the
 
six months ended
 
June 30,
 
2023, Popular International
 
Bank Inc.,
wholly
 
owned
 
subsidiary
 
of
 
Popular,
 
Inc.,
 
received
 
$14.1
 
million
 
in
 
cash
 
dividends
 
and
 
$2.1
 
million
 
in
 
stock
 
dividends
 
from
 
its
investment in BHD. Dividends from BPPR constitute
 
Popular, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity.
 
Other Funding Sources and Capital
In
 
addition to
 
cash
 
reserves held
 
at
 
the
 
FRB
 
that
 
totaled $
 
8.6
 
billion at
 
June
 
30,2023,
 
the
 
debt securities
 
portfolio provides
 
an
additional
 
source
 
of
 
liquidity,
 
which
 
may
 
be
 
realized
 
through
 
either
 
securities
 
sales,
 
collateralized
 
borrowings
 
or
 
repurchase
agreements.
 
The
 
Corporation’s
 
debt
 
securities
 
portfolio
 
consists
 
primarily
 
of
 
liquid
 
U.S.
 
government
 
debt
 
securities,
 
U.S.
government
 
sponsored
 
agency
 
debt
 
securities,
 
U.S.
 
government
 
sponsored
 
agency
 
mortgage-backed
 
securities,
 
and
 
U.S.
government
 
sponsored
 
agency
 
collateralized
 
mortgage
 
obligations
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
raise
 
funds
 
in
 
the
 
repo
 
markets.
 
The
availability
 
of
 
the
 
repurchase
 
agreement
 
would
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
having
 
sufficient
 
unpledged
 
collateral
 
available
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
the
transactions are to be consummated, in addition to overall liquidity and risk appetite of the various counterparties. The Corporation’s
unpledged debt securities amounted to $ 5.0 billion
 
at June 30, 2023 and $ 7.8 billion at December
 
31, 2022. A substantial portion of
these
 
debt
 
securities
 
could
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
raise
 
financing
 
in
 
the
 
U.S.
 
money
 
markets
 
or
 
from
 
secured
 
lending
 
sources,
 
subject
 
to
changes in their fair market value and customary adjustments
 
(haircuts).
 
 
 
 
159
Additional liquidity may
 
be provided through
 
loan maturities, prepayments
 
and sales. The
 
loan portfolio can
 
also be used
 
to obtain
funding in the capital markets. In particular,
 
mortgage loans and some types of consumer loans, have
 
secondary markets which the
Corporation could use.
Off-Balance Sheet arrangements and other commitments
In the ordinary course
 
of business, the Corporation
 
engages in financial transactions that
 
are not recorded on
 
the balance sheet or
may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different than the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. As a
provider of
 
financial services,
 
the Corporation
 
routinely enters
 
into commitments
 
with off-balance
 
sheet risk
 
to meet
 
the financial
needs of
 
its customers. These
 
commitments may include
 
loan commitments and
 
standby letters of
 
credit. These commitments
 
are
subject
 
to
 
the
 
same
 
credit
 
policies
 
and
 
approval
 
process
 
used
 
for
 
on-balance
 
sheet
 
instruments.
 
These
 
instruments
 
involve,
 
to
varying degrees, elements
 
of credit and
 
interest rate risk
 
in excess of
 
the amount recognized
 
in the statement
 
of financial position.
Refer to
 
Note 21
 
to the
 
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements for
 
information on
 
the Corporation’s
 
commitments to
 
extent credit
 
and
other non-credit commitments.
 
Other types
 
of off-balance
 
sheet arrangements
 
that the
 
Corporation enters
 
in the
 
ordinary course
 
of business
 
include derivatives,
operating
 
leases
 
and
 
provision
 
of
 
guarantees,
 
indemnifications,
 
and
 
representation
 
and
 
warranties.
 
Refer
 
to
 
Note
 
28

The Corporation monitors its cash requirements, including
 
its contractual obligations and debt commitments.
 
FDIC Special Assessments
 
On
 
May
 
11,
 
2023,
 
the
 
Federal
 
Deposit
 
Insurance
 
Corporation
 
(“FDIC”)
 
released
 
a
 
proposed
 
rule
 
that
 
would
 
impose
 
special
assessments
 
to
 
recover
 
the
 
losses
 
to
 
the
 
deposit
 
insurance
 
fund
 
(“DIF”)
 
resulting
 
from
 
the
 
FDIC’s
 
use,
 
in
 
March
 
2023,
 
of
 
the
systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under
 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act in connection with the receiverships
of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
 
The
 
FDIC
 
stated
 
that
 
it
 
currently
 
estimates
 
those
 
assessed
 
losses
 
to
 
total
 
$15.8
 
billion
 
and
 
that
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
special
assessments would be adjusted as the loss
 
estimate changes. Under the proposed rule, the assessment base would
 
be an insured
depository institution’s (“IDI”)
 
estimated uninsured deposits, as
 
reported in the
 
IDI’s December 31,
 
2022 Call Report,
 
excluding the
first
 
$5
 
billion
 
in
 
estimated
 
uninsured
 
deposits.
 
For
 
a
 
holding
 
company
 
that
 
has
 
more
 
than
 
one
 
IDI
 
subsidiary,
 
such
 
as
 
the
Corporation, the $5 billion exclusion would be
 
allocated among the company’s IDI subsidiaries
 
in proportion to each IDI’s
 
estimated
uninsured deposits. The special assessments would be collected at
 
an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points per year (3.13
basis points per quarter) over eight quarters in 2024 and 2025, with the first assessment period beginning January 1, 2024 (with
 
the
first
 
assessment
 
payment
 
due
 
by
 
June
 
28,
 
2024).
 
Under
 
the
 
proposed
 
rule,
 
the
 
estimated
 
loss
 
pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
systemic
 
risk
determination
 
would be
 
periodically adjusted,
 
and
 
the
 
FDIC
 
would retain
 
the
 
ability to
 
cease
 
collection
 
early,
 
extend the
 
special
assessment collection period and impose
 
a final shortfall special assessment
 
on a one-time basis. In
 
their December 31, 2022
 
Call
Reports, BPPR and PB reported estimated uninsured deposits of approximately $28.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively.
 
Although
the proposal could be changed, the assessments, as proposed, would
 
be recorded as an expense in the period in which this
 
change
is enacted.
 
Such expense
 
would significantly affect
 
noninterest expense and
 
the results
 
of operations for
 
the quarter
 
in which
 
it is
recognized. If the
 
final rule is
 
adopted as proposed,
 
the special assessment
 
for the
 
Corporation is estimated
 
at approximately $66
million. The actual assessment may vary as a result
 
of the final rule, including any changes to the calculation
 
methodology.

is the parent
 
holding company of
 
Popular North America
 
“PNA” and
has other subsidiaries through which it
 
conducts its financial services operations. PNA is
 
an operating, 100% subsidiary of Popular,
Inc.
 
Holding Company
 
(“PIHC”) and
 
is the
 
holding company
 
of its
 
wholly-owned subsidiaries:
 
Equity One,
 
Inc.
 
and PB,
 
including
PB’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Popular Equipment Finance,
 
LLC, Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A., and E-LOAN, Inc.
PNA
 
has
 
issued
 
junior
 
subordinated
 
debentures
 
guaranteed
 
by
 
PIHC
 
(together
 
with
 
PNA,
 
the
 
“obligor
 
group”)
 
purchased
 
by
statutory trusts
 
established by
 
the Corporation.
 
These debentures
 
were purchased
 
by the
 
statutory trust
 
using the
 
proceeds from
160
trust preferred securities issued to the public (referred to as
 
“capital securities”), together with the proceeds of the related issuances
of common securities of the trusts.
PIHC
 
fully
 
and
 
unconditionally
 
guarantees
 
the
 
junior
 
subordinated
 
debentures
 
issued
 
by
 
PNA.
 
PIHC’s
 
obligation
 
to
 
make
 
a
guarantee payment may be satisfied by direct
 
payment of the required amounts to the
 
holders of the applicable capital securities or
by causing the applicable trust to pay such amounts to such holders. Each guarantee does not apply to any payment of distributions
by
 
the
 
applicable
 
trust
 
except
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
such
 
trust
 
has
 
funds
 
available
 
for
 
such
 
payments.
 
If
 
PIHC
 
does
 
not
 
make
 
interest
payments on the
 
debentures held by such
 
trust, such trust
 
will not pay
 
distributions on the applicable
 
capital securities and
 
will not
have
 
funds
 
available
 
for
 
such
 
payments.
 
PIHC’s
 
guarantee
 
of
 
PNA’s
 
junior
 
subordinated
 
debentures
 
is
 
unsecured
 
and
 
ranks
subordinate and junior in
 
right of payment to
 
all the PIHC’s other
 
liabilities in the same manner
 
as the applicable debentures as
 
set
forth in the applicable indentures; and equally with all other guarantees
 
that the PIHC issues. The guarantee constitutes a guarantee
of
 
payment
 
and
 
not
 
of
 
collection,
 
which means
 
that
 
the
 
guaranteed party
 
may
 
sue
 
the
 
guarantor to
 
enforce its
 
rights
 
under the
respective guarantee without suing any other person
 
or entity.
The
 
principal
 
sources
 
of
 
funding
 
for
 
PIHC
 
and
 
PNA
 
have
 
included
 
dividends
 
received
 
from
 
their
 
banking
 
and
 
non-banking
subsidiaries, asset
 
sales and
 
proceeds from
 
the issuance
 
of debt
 
and equity.
 
As further
 
described below,
 
in the
 
Risk to
 
Liquidity
section, various statutory
 
provisions limit the
 
amount of dividends
 
an insured depository
 
institution may pay
 
to its holding
 
company
without regulatory approval.

Risks to Liquidity
 
Total lines of credit outstanding, or available borrowing capacity under lines of credit are not necessarily
 
a measure of the total credit
available
 
on
 
a
 
continuing
 
basis.
 
Some
 
of
 
these
 
lines
 
could
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
collateral
 
requirements,
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
162
collateral, standards of
 
creditworthiness, leverage ratios
 
and other regulatory
 
requirements, among other factors.
 
Derivatives, such
as
 
those
 
embedded
 
in
 
long-term
 
repurchase
 
transactions
 
or
 
interest
 
rate
 
swaps,
 
and
 
off-balance
 
sheet
 
exposures,
 
such
 
as
recourse, performance bonds
 
or credit card
 
arrangements, are subject
 
to collateral requirements.
 
As their fair
 
value increases, the
collateral requirements may increase, thereby reducing
 
the balance of unpledged securities.
The importance of
 
the Puerto Rico
 
market for the
 
Corporation is an
 
additional risk factor
 
that could affect
 
its financing activities.
 
In
the case
 
of a
 
deterioration in economic
 
and fiscal conditions
 
in Puerto Rico,
 
the credit quality
 
of the
 
Corporation could be
 
affected
and result
 
in higher
 
credit costs.
 
Refer to
 
the Geographic
 
and Government
 
Risk section
 
of this
 
MD&A for
 
some highlights
 
on the
current status of the Puerto Rico economy and the ongoing
 
fiscal crisis.
Factors that the Corporation does not control, such as the economic
 
outlook and credit ratings of its principal markets and regulatory
changes,
 
could also
 
affect
 
its
 
ability to
 
obtain funding.
 
In
 
order to
 
prepare for
 
the
 
possibility of
 
such scenario,
 
management
 
has
adopted
 
contingency
 
plans
 
for
 
raising
 
financing
 
under
 
stress
 
scenarios
 
when
 
important
 
sources
 
of
 
funds
 
that
 
are
 
usually
 
fully
available
 
are
 
temporarily
 
unavailable. These
 
plans call
 
for
 
using
 
alternate
 
funding
 
mechanisms,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
pledging
 
of
 
certain
asset classes
 
and accessing
 
secured credit
 
lines and
 
loan facilities
 
put in
 
place with
 
the FHLB
 
and the
 
FRB. The
 
Corporation is
subject to
 
positive tangible
 
capital
 
requirements to
 
utilize secured
 
loan facilities
 
with the
 
FHLB that
 
could
 
result in
 
a limitation
 
of
borrowing amounts or maturity terms, even if the Corporation
 
exceeds well-capitalized regulatory capital levels.
 
The credit
 
ratings of
 
Popular’s debt
 
obligations are
 
a relevant
 
factor for
 
liquidity because
 
they impact
 
the Corporation’s
 
ability to
borrow
 
in
 
the
 
capital
 
markets,
 
its
 
cost
 
and
 
access
 
to
 
funding
 
sources.
 
Credit
 
ratings
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
financial
 
strength,
 
credit
quality and
 
concentrations in
 
the loan
 
portfolio, the
 
level and
 
volatility of
 
earnings, capital
 
adequacy,
 
the quality
 
of management,
geographic concentration
 
in Puerto
 
Rico, the
 
liquidity of
 
the balance
 
sheet, the
 
availability of
 
a significant
 
base of
 
core retail
 
and
commercial deposits, and the Corporation’s ability to access
 
a broad array of wholesale funding sources,
 
among other factors.
 
Furthermore,
 
various
 
statutory
 
provisions
 
limit
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
dividends
 
an
 
insured
 
depository
 
institution
 
may
 
pay
 
to
 
its
 
holding
company without
 
regulatory approval. A
 
member bank must
 
obtain the
 
approval of
 
the Federal
 
Reserve Board
 
for any
 
dividend, if
the total
 
of all
 
dividends declared
 
by the
 
member bank
 
during the
 
calendar year
 
would exceed
 
the total
 
of its
 
net income
 
for that
year,
 
combined with
 
its retained
 
net income
 
for the
 
preceding two
 
years, after
 
considering those
 
years’ dividend
 
activity,
 
less any
required transfers
 
to surplus
 
or to
 
a fund
 
for the
 
retirement of
 
any preferred
 
stock.
 
During
 
the six
 
months ended
 
June 30,
 
2023,
BPPR
 
declared
 
cash
 
dividends
 
of
 
$100
 
million.
 
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
BPPR
 
can
 
declare
 
a
 
dividend
 
of
 
approximately
 
$335
 
million
without prior approval of the
 
Federal Reserve Board due to
 
its retained income, declared dividend activity and
 
transfers to statutory
reserves over the measurement period. In addition, a member bank may not declare or pay a dividend in an amount greater than its
undivided
 
profits
 
as
 
reported
 
in
 
its
 
Report
 
of
 
Condition
 
and
 
Income,
 
unless
 
the
 
member
 
bank
 
has
 
received
 
the
 
approval
 
of
 
the
Federal
 
Reserve
 
Board.
 
A
 
member
 
bank
 
also
 
may
 
not
 
permit
 
any
 
portion
 
of
 
its
 
permanent
 
capital
 
to
 
be
 
withdrawn
 
unless
 
the
withdrawal
 
has
 
been
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Federal
 
Reserve
 
Board.
 
Pursuant
 
to
 
these
 
requirements,
 
PB
 
may
 
not
 
declare
 
or
 
pay
 
a
dividend without
 
the prior
 
approval of
 
the Federal
 
Reserve Board
 
and the
 
NYSDFS. The
 
ability of
 
a bank
 
subsidiary to
 
up-stream
dividends to its BHC could
 
thus be impacted by
 
its financial performance and capital, including
 
tangible and regulatory capital, thus
potentially limiting
 
the amount
 
of cash
 
moving up
 
to the
 
BHCs from
 
the banking
 
subsidiaries. This
 
could, in
 
turn, affect
 
the BHCs
ability to declare dividends on its outstanding common and preferred stock, repurchase its securities or meet its debt obligations, for
example.
 
The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries have historically not
 
used unsecured capital market borrowings to finance
 
its operations, and
therefore are less sensitive to the level and
 
changes in the Corporation’s overall credit ratings.
Obligations Subject to Rating Triggers or Collateral Requirements
The
 
Corporation’s
 
banking
 
subsidiaries
 
currently
 
do
 
not
 
issue
 
unsecured
 
senior
 
debt,
 
as
 
these
 
banking
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
funded
primarily with
 
deposits and
 
secured borrowings.
 
The banking
 
subsidiaries had
 
$7.8 million
 
in deposits
 
at June
 
30, 2023
 
that are
subject to rating triggers.
 
In addition,
 
certain mortgage servicing
 
and custodial agreements
 
that BPPR
 
has with
 
third parties
 
include rating covenants.
 
In the
event of a credit rating downgrade, the third parties have the right to require the institution to engage a substitute cash custodian for
escrow
 
deposits
 
and/or
 
increase
 
collateral
 
levels
 
securing
 
the
 
recourse
 
obligations.
 
Also,
 
as
 
discussed
 
in
 
Note
 
20
 
to
 
the
Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements,
 
the
 
Corporation
 
services
 
residential
 
mortgage
 
loans
 
subject
 
to
 
credit
 
recourse
 
provisions.
Certain
 
contractual
 
agreements
 
require
 
the
 
Corporation
 
to
 
post
 
collateral
 
to
 
secure
 
such
 
recourse
 
obligations
 
if
 
the
 
institution’s
required
 
credit
 
ratings
 
are
 
not
 
maintained.
 
Collateral
 
pledged
 
by
 
the
 
Corporation
 
to
 
secure
 
recourse
 
obligations
 
amounted
 
to
approximately $26.2 million at June 30, 2023. The Corporation could be required to
 
post additional collateral under the agreements.
 
 
 
163
Management expects that it would be able to
 
meet additional collateral requirements if and when needed. The requirements to post
collateral under certain agreements or
 
the loss of escrow deposits
 
could reduce the Corporation’s liquidity
 
resources and impact its
operating results.
Credit Risk
Geographic and Government Risk
 
The Corporation is exposed to geographic and government risk.
 
The Corporation’s assets and revenue composition by geographical
area and by business segment reporting are presented
 
in Note 33 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
A
 
significant portion
 
of
 
our financial
 
activities and
 
credit
 
exposure is
 
concentrated in
 
the
 
Commonwealth of
 
Puerto Rico
 
(“Puerto
Rico”), which has faced severe economic and fiscal
 
challenges in the past and may face additional
 
challenges in the future.
 
Economic Performance.
 
Puerto
 
Rico’s
 
economy suffered
 
a
 
severe and
 
prolonged recession
 
from
 
2007
 
to
 
2017,
 
with real
 
gross national
 
product (“GNP”)
contracting approximately 15%
 
during this period.
 
In 2017, Hurricane
 
María caused significant
 
damage and destruction
 
across the
island, resulting in further economic contraction. Puerto Rico’s
 
economy has been gradually recovering since 2018, in
 
part aided by
the large amount
 
of federal disaster
 
relief and recovery
 
assistance funds injected
 
into the Puerto
 
Rico economy in
 
connection with
Hurricane María
 
and other
 
recent natural
 
disasters. This
 
growth was
 
interrupted by
 
the economic
 
shock caused
 
by the
 
COVID-19
pandemic in 2020, but has since resumed, in part
 
aided by additional federal assistance from
 
pandemic-related stimulus measures.
The
 
latest
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
Economic Activity
 
Index,
 
published
 
by
 
the
 
Economic
 
Development Bank
 
for
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
(the
 
“Economic
Activity
 
Index”),
 
reflected
 
a
 
3.0%
 
year-over-year
 
increase
 
and
 
a
 
0.4%
 
month-over-month
 
increase
 
in
 
June
 
2023.
 
The
 
Economic
Activity Index is a coincident indicator of ongoing economic activity but not a direct measurement of real GNP. In February 2023, the
Puerto Rico
 
Planning Board
 
revised its
 
real GNP
 
forecast for
 
the current
 
fiscal year
 
(July 2022-June
 
2023) from
 
1.7% growth
 
to
0.7% growth, citing an anticipated deacceleration in the
 
global economy.
 
While the
 
Puerto Rico
 
economy has
 
not directly
 
tracked the
 
United States
 
economy in
 
recent years,
 
many of
 
the external
 
factors
that impact
 
the Puerto
 
Rico economy
 
are affected
 
by the
 
policies and performance
 
of the
 
United States
 
economy.
 
These external
factors include
 
the level
 
of interest
 
rates and
 
the rate
 
of inflation.
 
Inflation in
 
the United
 
States, as
 
measured by the
 
United States
Consumer Price Index
 
(published by the
 
U.S. Bureau of
 
Labor Statistics), increased
 
3.0% during the
 
12-month period ended
 
June
2023.
 
Inflation in Puerto Rico,
 
as measured by the
 
Puerto Rico Consumer Price
 
Index (published by the
 
Department of Labor and
Human Resources of
 
Puerto Rico), increased
 
2.3%
 
during the 12-month
 
period ended June
 
2023. The rate
 
of inflation has
 
slowed
down in
 
recent months,
 
following a
 
mid-2022 peak,
 
as the
 
Federal Reserve
 
has implemented
 
a series
 
of benchmark
 
interest rate
increases. The speed and scope of the inflation slowdown
 
will inform if and how much interest rates will
 
continue to increase, as well
how these changes will impact the United States
 
and Puerto Rico economies.
Fiscal Challenges.
 
As the
 
Puerto Rico
 
economy contracted, the
 
government’s public
 
debt rose
 
rapidly,
 
in part
 
from borrowing to
 
cover deficits
 
to pay
debt service,
 
pension benefits and
 
other government expenditures.
 
By 2016,
 
the Puerto
 
Rico government had
 
over $120
 
billion in
combined debt and unfunded pension liabilities, had
 
lost access to the capital markets, and was in
 
the midst of a fiscal crisis.
Puerto
 
Rico’s
 
escalating fiscal
 
and economic
 
challenges
 
and imminent
 
widespread defaults
 
in
 
its
 
public debt
 
prompted the
 
U.S.
Congress to
 
enact the
 
Puerto Rico
 
Oversight, Management,
 
and Economic
 
Stability Act
 
(“PROMESA”) in
 
June 2016.
 
PROMESA
created the “Oversight Board” with ample powers over Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic affairs and those of its public corporations,
instrumentalities and municipalities (collectively,
 
“PR Government Entities”). Pursuant
 
to PROMESA, the
 
Oversight Board will be
 
in
place
 
until
 
market
 
access
 
is
 
restored
 
and
 
balanced
 
budgets
 
are
 
produced
 
for
 
at
 
least
 
four
 
consecutive
 
years.
 
PROMESA
 
also
established two
 
mechanisms for
 
the restructuring
 
of the
 
obligations of
 
PR Government
 
Entities: (a)
 
Title III,
 
which provides
 
an in-
 
 
164
court process that incorporates many of the
 
powers and provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
 
and permits adjustment of a broad
range of obligations, and
 
(b) Title VI,
 
which provides for a
 
largely out-of-court process through which
 
modifications to financial debt
can be accepted by a supermajority of creditors
 
and bind holdouts.
Since 2017, Puerto Rico and several
 
of its instrumentalities have availed themselves
 
of the debt restructuring mechanisms of Titles
III and VI of PROMESA. The Puerto Rico government emerged from Title III of PROMESA in March 2022. Several instrumentalities,
including Government
 
Development Bank for
 
Puerto Rico,
 
the Puerto
 
Rico Sales
 
Tax
 
Financing Corporation, and
 
the Puerto
 
Rico
Highways
 
and
 
Transportation
 
Authority,
 
have
 
also
 
completed
 
debt
 
restructurings
 
under
 
Titles
 
III
 
or
 
VI
 
of
 
PROMESA.
 
While
 
the
majority
 
of
 
the
 
debt
 
has
 
already
 
been
 
restructured,
 
some
 
PR
 
Government
 
Entities
 
still
 
face
 
significant
 
fiscal
 
challenges.
 
For
example, the
 
Puerto Rico
 
Electric Power
 
Authority is
 
still in
 
the process
 
of restructuring
 
its debts
 
under Title
 
III of
 
PROMESA and
other PR Government
 
Entities, such as
 
the Puerto Rico
 
Industrial Development Company,
 
have defaulted on
 
their bonds but
 
have
not commenced debt restructuring proceedings under
 
PROMESA.
 
Municipalities.
 
Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic challenges have
 
also adversely impacted its municipalities. Budgetary subsidies to municipalities
have
 
gradually
 
declined
 
in
 
recent
 
years
 
and
 
are
 
scheduled
 
to
 
be
 
ultimately
 
eliminated
 
by
 
fiscal
 
year
 
2025
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
fiscal
measures
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
Oversight
 
Board.
 
According
 
to
 
the
 
latest
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
fiscal
 
plan
 
certified
 
by
 
the
 
Oversight
 
Board,
municipalities
 
have
 
made
 
little
 
to
 
no
 
progress
 
towards
 
implementing
 
the
 
fiscal
 
discipline
 
required
 
to
 
reduce
 
reliance
 
on
 
these
budgetary appropriations and this
 
lack of fiscal
 
management may threaten the
 
ability of certain
 
municipalities to provide
 
necessary
services, such as health, sanitation, public safety
 
and emergency services to their residents, forcing them
 
to prioritize expenditures.
Municipalities
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
PROMESA
 
and,
 
at
 
the
 
Oversight
 
Board’s
 
request,
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
submit
 
fiscal
 
plans
 
and
 
annual
budgets
 
to
 
the
 
Oversight
 
Board
 
for
 
its
 
review
 
and
 
approval.
 
They
 
are
 
also
 
required to
 
seek
 
Oversight
 
Board
 
approval
 
to
 
issue,
guarantee
 
or
 
modify
 
their
 
debts
 
and
 
to
 
enter
 
into
 
contracts
 
with an
 
aggregate
 
value
 
of
 
$10
 
million
 
or
 
more.
 
With
 
the
 
Oversight
Board’s approval, municipalities are also eligible to avail themselves of the debt restructuring processes provided by PROMESA. To
date, however, no municipality has been subject to any such debt
 
restructuring process.
 
Exposure of the Corporation
 
The credit
 
quality of BPPR’s
 
loan portfolio
 
reflects, among other
 
things, the
 
general economic conditions
 
in Puerto
 
Rico and
 
other
adverse conditions affecting Puerto
 
Rico consumers and businesses.
 
Deterioration in the Puerto
 
Rico economy has resulted
 
in the
past, and could
 
result in the future,
 
in higher delinquencies, greater
 
charge-offs and increased losses,
 
which could materially affect
our financial condition and results of operations.
 
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation’s
 
direct exposure
 
to
 
PR Government
 
Entities totaled
 
$380 million,
 
of
 
which $351
 
million were
outstanding, compared
 
to
 
$374 million
 
at
 
December 31,
 
2022, of
 
which $327
 
million
 
were outstanding.
 
A
 
deterioration in
 
Puerto
Rico’s fiscal and
 
economic situation could adversely
 
affect the value
 
of our Puerto
 
Rico government obligations, resulting
 
in losses
to
 
us.
 
Of
 
the
 
amount
 
outstanding,
 
$325
 
million
 
consists
 
of
 
loans
 
and
 
$26
 
million
 
are
 
securities
 
($302
 
million
 
and
 
$25
 
million,
respectively,
 
at December
 
31, 2022).
 
All of
 
the Corporation’s
 
direct exposure
 
outstanding at
 
June 30,
 
2023 were
 
obligations from
various
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
municipalities.
 
In
 
most
 
cases,
 
these
 
were
 
“general
 
obligations”
 
of
 
a
 
municipality,
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
applicable
municipality
 
has
 
pledged its
 
good
 
faith, credit
 
and unlimited
 
taxing power,
 
or
 
“special obligations”
 
of
 
a municipality,
 
to
 
which the
applicable municipality has pledged basic property
 
tax or sales tax
 
revenues. At June 30, 2023,
 
74% of the Corporation’s exposure
to
 
municipal
 
loans
 
and
 
securities
 
was
 
concentrated
 
in
 
the
 
municipalities
 
of
 
San
 
Juan,
 
Guaynabo,
 
Carolina
 
and
 
Caguas.
 
For
additional discussion of the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto
 
Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities,
refer to Note 21 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In addition,
 
at June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation had
 
$240 million
 
in loans
 
insured or
 
securities issued by
 
Puerto Rico
 
governmental
entities, but for
 
which the principal source
 
of repayment is
 
non-governmental ($251 million at December 31, 2022).
 
These included
$199 million in
 
residential mortgage loans insured
 
by the Puerto
 
Rico Housing Finance Authority
 
(“HFA”), a
 
PR Government Entity
(December 31, 2022 - $209 million). These mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on Puerto
 
Rico residential properties and
the
 
HFA
 
insurance
 
covers
 
losses
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
borrower
 
default
 
and
 
upon
 
the
 
satisfaction
 
of
 
certain
 
other
 
conditions.
 
The
Corporation also had at June 30, 2023, $40 million in bonds issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto
Rico residential properties, and for which
 
HFA also provides insurance
 
to cover losses in the
 
event of a borrower default,
 
and upon
the satisfaction of certain
 
other conditions (December 31, 2022
 
- $42 million). In
 
the event that the
 
mortgage loans insured by
 
HFA
and
 
held
 
by
 
the
 
Corporation directly
 
or
 
those
 
serving
 
as
 
collateral for
 
the
 
HFA
 
bonds
 
default and
 
the
 
collateral
 
is
 
insufficient
 
to
satisfy the outstanding balance of these loans, HFA’s
 
ability to honor its insurance will depend, among other factors, on the financial
 
 
 
165
condition
 
of
 
HFA
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
such
 
obligations
 
become
 
due
 
and
 
payable.
 
The
 
Corporation
 
does
 
not
 
consider
 
the
 
government
guarantee when estimating the credit losses associated
 
with this portfolio.
 
BPPR’s
 
commercial loan
 
portfolio also
 
includes loans
 
to
 
private borrowers
 
who
 
are service
 
providers, lessors,
 
suppliers or
 
have
other relationships with the government. These borrowers could be negatively
 
affected by a deterioration in the fiscal and
 
economic
situation
 
of
 
PR
 
Government
 
Entities.
 
Similarly,
 
BPPR’s
 
mortgage
 
and
 
consumer
 
loan
 
portfolios
 
include
 
loans
 
to
 
government
employees
 
and
 
retirees,
 
which
 
could
 
also
 
be
 
negatively
 
affected
 
by
 
fiscal
 
measures,
 
such
 
as
 
employee
 
layoffs
 
or
 
furloughs
 
or
reductions in pension benefits, if the fiscal and economic
 
situation deteriorates.
As of June
 
30, 2023, BPPR had
 
$18.5 billion in deposits from
 
the Puerto Rico government, its
 
instrumentalities, and municipalities.
The
 
rate
 
at
 
which
 
public
 
deposit
 
balances
 
may
 
decline is
 
uncertain and
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict.
 
The
 
amount
 
and
 
timing
 
of
 
any
 
such
reduction is
 
likely to
 
be impacted
 
by,
 
for example,
 
the speed
 
at which
 
federal assistance
 
is distributed
 
and the
 
financial condition,
liquidity and cash management practices of such entities,
 
as well as on the ability of BPPR to maintain
 
these customer relationships.
The
 
Corporation may
 
also have
 
direct
 
exposure with
 
regards to
 
avoidance and
 
other causes
 
of
 
action initiated
 
by the
 
Oversight
Board on behalf of the Commonwealth or other Title III debtors. For additional information regarding such exposure, refer to Note 21
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
United States Virgin Islands
The
 
Corporation
 
has
 
operations
 
in
 
the
 
United
 
States
 
Virgin
 
Islands
 
(the
 
“USVI”)
 
and
 
has
 
credit
 
exposure
 
to
 
USVI
 
government
entities.
The USVI has
 
been experiencing a
 
number of fiscal
 
and economic challenges,
 
which could adversely
 
affect the
 
ability of its
 
public
corporations and instrumentalities to service their outstanding
 
debt obligations. PROMESA does not apply to the USVI
 
and, as such,
there
 
is
 
currently
 
no
 
federal
 
legislation
 
permitting
 
the
 
restructuring
 
of
 
the
 
debts
 
of
 
the
 
USVI
 
and
 
its
 
public
 
corporations
 
and
instrumentalities.
To
 
the extent that
 
the fiscal condition
 
of the USVI
 
continues to deteriorate, the
 
U.S. Congress or the
 
Government of the
 
USVI may
enact legislation allowing for the restructuring of the
 
financial obligations of USVI government entities or imposing a
 
stay on creditor
remedies, including by making PROMESA applicable
 
to the USVI.
At June
 
30, 2023,
 
the Corporation
 
had approximately
 
$28 million
 
in direct
 
exposure to
 
USVI government
 
entities (December
 
31,
2022 - $28 million).
 
British Virgin Islands
The
 
Corporation has
 
operations
 
in
 
the
 
British Virgin
 
Islands
 
(“BVI”),
 
which
 
was
 
negatively
 
affected by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
particularly as
 
a reduction
 
in the
 
tourism activity
 
which accounts
 
for a
 
significant portion
 
of its
 
economy.
 
Although the
 
Corporation
has no
 
significant exposure
 
to a
 
single borrower
 
in the
 
BVI, at
 
June 30,
 
2023, it
 
has a
 
loan portfolio
 
amounting to
 
approximately
$207 million comprised of various retail and commercial
 
clients, compared to a loan portfolio of $214 million
 
at December 31, 2022.
U.S. Government
As further detailed in Notes
 
6 and 7 to the
 
Consolidated Financial Statements, a substantial portion of the
 
Corporation’s investment
securities
 
represented exposure
 
to
 
the
 
U.S.
 
Government in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
U.S. Government
 
sponsored entities,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
agency
mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, $1.6 billion
 
of residential mortgages, $12 million of SBA loans under the
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and $71 million
 
commercial loans were insured or guaranteed by
 
the U.S. Government or its
agencies at June 30, 2023 (compared to $1.6
 
billion, $38 million and $72 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022).
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets (“NPAs”)
 
include primarily past-due
 
loans that
 
are no
 
longer accruing interest,
 
renegotiated loans, and
 
real
estate property acquired through foreclosure. A summary, including certain credit
 
quality metrics, is presented in Table 21.
During the second
 
quarter of
 
2023, the Corporation
 
continued to show
 
favorable credit quality
 
trends with
 
low levels of
 
NCOs and
decreasing NPLs.
 
We continue
 
to closely
 
monitor changes
 
in the
 
macroeconomic environment
 
and borrower
 
performance, given
166
inflationary
 
pressures and
 
geopolitical
 
risks.
 
However,
 
management believes
 
that
 
the
 
improvement over
 
recent years
 
in
 
the
 
risk
profile of the Corporation’s loan portfolios positions
 
Popular to operate successfully under the current environment.
 
Total
 
NPAs
 
decreased
 
by
 
$57
 
million
 
when
 
compared
 
with
 
December
 
31,
 
2022.
 
Total
 
non-performing
 
loans
 
held-in-portfolio
(“NPLs”)
 
decreased
 
by
 
$54
 
million
 
from
 
December
 
31,
 
2022.
 
BPPR’s
 
NPLs
 
decreased
 
by
 
$50
 
million,
 
mainly
 
driven
 
by
 
lower
mortgage and
 
consumer NPLs
 
by $48
 
million and
 
$16 million,
 
respectively,
 
in part
 
offset
 
by higher
 
construction and
 
commercial
NPLs by
 
$9 million
 
and $7
 
million, respectively.
 
The consumer
 
NPLs decrease
 
was mostly
 
driven by
 
a $11
 
million line
 
of credit
charge-off on a single relationship, while the construction and commercial NPLs increase
 
was driven by a $9 million and $14 million
loan
 
relationship,
 
respectively.
 
Popular
 
U.S.
 
NPLs
 
decreased
 
by
 
$4
 
million
 
from
 
December
 
31,
 
2022,
 
mainly
 
driven
 
by
 
lower
mortgage NPLs. On June
 
30, 2023, the ratio
 
of NPLs to total
 
loans held-in-portfolio was 1.2% compared
 
to 1.4%, at December
 
31,
2022. Other real estate owned loans (“OREOs”) decreased by $3 million. On June 30, 2023, NPLs secured by real estate amounted
to
 
$272
 
million
 
in
 
the
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
operations
 
and
 
$27
 
million
 
in
 
Popular
 
U.S,
 
compared
 
with
 
$303
 
million
 
and
 
$33
 
million,
respectively, at December 31, 2022.
 
The Corporation’s
 
commercial loan
 
portfolio secured
 
by real
 
estate (“CRE”)
 
amounted to
 
$10.1 billion
 
at June
 
30, 2023,
 
of which
$3.0 billion was secured
 
with owner occupied properties, compared
 
with $9.9 billion and
 
$3.1 billion, respectively,
 
at December 31,
2022. Office space
 
leasing exposure in
 
our non-owner occupied
 
CRE portfolio is
 
limited, representing only
 
1.8% or $600
 
million of
our total loan portfolio.
 
The exposure is mainly comprised of low- to mid- rise properties with average
 
loan size of $2.0 million and is
well diversified across tenant type.
CRE NPLs amounted to $65 million at June 30,
 
2023, compared with $54 million at December
 
31, 2022. The CRE NPL ratios for the
BPPR
 
and
 
Popular
 
U.S.
 
segments
 
were
 
1.27%
 
and
 
0.10%,
 
respectively,
 
at
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
compared
 
with
 
1.04%
 
and
 
0.12%,
respectively, at December 31, 2022.
In
 
addition to
 
the NPLs
 
included in
 
Table
 
21, at
 
June 30,
 
2023, there
 
were $350
 
million
 
of performing
 
loans, mostly
 
commercial
loans, which in management’s opinion, are currently subject to potential future classification as non-performing (December 31, 2022
- $374 million).
For
 
the
 
period
 
ended
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
total
 
inflows
 
of
 
NPLs
 
held-in-portfolio,
 
excluding
 
consumer
 
loans,
 
remained
 
flat,
 
when
compared to the inflows for the same period in 2022. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment increased slightly by $2
million, compared to the same period in 2022. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the Popular U.S. segment decreased by $2 million
from the same period in 2022.

[1] There were no non-performing loans held-for-sale

[2] It is
 
the Corporation’s
 
policy to report
 
delinquent residential
 
mortgage loans
 
insured by FHA
 
or guaranteed by
 
the VA
 
as accruing loans
 
past due
90 days or more as opposed to non-performing
 
since the principal repayment is insured.
 
These balances include $133 million of
 
residential mortgage
loans
 
insured
 
by
 
FHA
 
or
 
guaranteed
 
by
 
the

approximately
 
$39 million
 
in reverse
 
mortgage loans
 
which are
 
guaranteed
 
by FHA,
 
but which
 
are currently
 
not
accruing interest.
 
Due
 
to
 
the guaranteed

Loans delinquent 30 days or more includes $0.4 billion
 
of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed
 
by the VA as of June

Allowance for Credit Losses Loans Held-in-Portfolio
The Corporation adopted the new CECL accounting standard effective on January 1,
 
2020. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”),
represents management’s estimate
 
of expected credit
 
losses through the
 
remaining contractual life
 
of the
 
different loan
 
segments,
impacted by expected
 
prepayments. The ACL
 
is maintained at
 
a sufficient
 
level to provide
 
for estimated credit
 
losses on collateral
dependent
 
loans
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
loans
 
modified
 
to
 
borrowers
 
with
 
financial
 
difficulty,
 
including
 
legacy
 
troubled
 
debt
 
restructurings,
separately
 
from
 
the
 
remainder
 
of
 
the
 
loan
 
portfolio.
 
The
 
Corporation’s
 
management
 
evaluates
 
the
 
adequacy
 
of
 
the
 
ACL
 
on
 
a
quarterly
 
basis.
 
In
 
this
 
evaluation,
 
management
 
considers
 
current
 
conditions,
 
macroeconomic
 
economic
 
expectations
 
through
 
a
reasonable and supportable period,
 
historical loss experience, portfolio composition
 
by loan type
 
and risk characteristics, results
 
of
periodic credit reviews
 
of individual loans,
 
and regulatory requirements, amongst
 
other factors. The
 
Corporation evaluates, at
 
least
on an
 
annual basis, the
 
assumptions tied to
 
the CECL
 
accounting framework, including
 
the reasonable and
 
supportable period as
well as the reversion window.
 
The Corporation must rely on
 
estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where
 
the ultimate outcome is unknown, such
 
as
economic developments affecting specific
 
customers, industries, or markets.
 
Other factors that can
 
affect management’s estimates
are
 
recalibration
 
of
 
statistical
 
models
 
used
 
to
 
calculate
 
lifetime
 
expected
 
losses,
 
changes
 
in
 
underwriting
 
standards,
 
financial
accounting standards and loan impairment measurements,
 
among others. Changes in the financial condition
 
of individual borrowers,
in economic
 
conditions, and
 
in the
 
condition of
 
the various
 
markets in
 
which collateral
 
may be
 
sold, may
 
also affect
 
the required
level of
 
the allowance
 
for credit
 
losses. Consequently,
 
the business
 
financial condition,
 
liquidity,
 
capital, and
 
results of
 
operations
could also be affected.
Given that any one
 
economic outlook is inherently uncertain, the
 
Corporation leverages multiple scenarios to estimate
 
its ACL. The
baseline scenario continues to be assigned the highest
 
probability, followed by the
 
pessimistic scenario.
 
During the second quarter
2023, due to positive trends, the Corporation lowered the probability weights assigned to the pessimistic scenario and increased the
probability weight assigned to the baseline scenario, prompting a reserve release of $5.8 million. The baseline scenario continues to
be assigned the highest probability, followed by the pessimistic scenario,
 
and then the optimistic scenario.
The
 
2023
 
annualized
 
GDP
 
growth
 
in
 
the
 
baseline
 
scenario
 
stands
 
at
 
1.5%
 
and
 
1.6%
 
for
 
Puerto
 
Rico
 
and
 
the
 
United
 
States,
respectively, compared to 2.1% and 1.3%
 
in the previous quarter. The 2023 forecasted average unemployment rate for
 
Puerto Rico
improved to
 
6.3% from
 
6.9% in
 
the previous
 
forecast, while
 
in the
 
United States
 
unemployment levels
 
remained stable
 
at
 
3.6%,
compared to 3.5% in the previous forecast.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
172
At
 
June
 
30,
 
2023,
 
the
 
allowance
 
for
 
credit
 
losses
 
amounted
 
to
 
$700
 
million,
 
a
 
decrease
 
of
 
$20
 
million,
 
when
 
compared
 
with
December 31, 2022.
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02 in
March 2022, which eliminates the
 
accounting guidance for troubled debt
 
restructures (“TDRs”) and the requirement
 
to measure the
effect
 
of
 
the
 
concession from
 
a
 
loan
 
modification, for
 
which
 
the
 
Corporation used
 
a
 
discounted cash
 
flow
 
(“DCF”)
 
method.
 
This
impact
 
resulted
 
in
 
a
 
release
 
in
 
the
 
ACL
 
of
 
approximately
 
$46
 
million
 
presented
 
as
 
an
 
adjustment
 
to
 
the
 
beginning
 
balance
 
of
retained earnings, net of tax effect.
 
Excluding ASU 2022-02 impact, the ACL for BPPR increased by $23 million,
 
when compared to December 31, 2022, while the ACL
for
 
Popular
 
U.S
 
increased
 
by
 
$3
 
million
 
from
 
December 31,
 
2022.
 
These
 
increases
 
were
 
mostly
 
driven
 
by
 
specific
 
reserves
 
for
collateral dependent U.S. commercial and P.R.
 
construction loans, changes in macroeconomic scenarios,
 
higher loan volumes and
migration of
 
P.R.
 
consumer credit
 
scores, partially
 
offset by
 
changes in
 
the assignments
 
of probability
 
weights to
 
macroeconomic
scenarios, as previously mentioned, and reductions in qualitative reserves. The Corporation’s ratio of the allowance for credit losses
to loans held-in-portfolio was
 
2.12% on June
 
30, 2023, compared to
 
2.25% on December
 
31, 2022.
 
The ratio of
 
the allowance for
credit losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 181.6%,
 
compared to 163.9% on December 31, 2022.
The provision for credit losses for the period ended June
 
30, 2023, amounted to an expense of $36 million, compared
 
to an expense
of
 
$10
 
million
 
for
 
the
 
period
 
ended
 
June
 
30,
 
2022,
 
as
 
the
 
prior
 
period
 
included
 
reductions
 
in
 
reserves
 
due
 
to
 
post-pandemic
improvements in
 
the macroeconomic
 
outlook and
 
lower NCOs.
 
The provision
 
expense related to
 
the loans-held-in-portfolio for
 
the
six-month period
 
ended June
 
30,2023 was
 
$82.8 million,
 
compared to
 
the reserve
 
release of
 
$4.5 million
 
for the
 
six-month period
ended
 
June
 
30,2022.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Corporation’s management,
 
with the
 
participation of the
 
Corporation’s Chief Executive
 
Officer and Chief
 
Financial Officer,
 
has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on such evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that,
 
as of the end of such
period, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a
timely basis,
 
information required to
 
be disclosed
 
by the
 
Corporation in
 
the reports
 
that it
 
files or
 
submits under
 
the Exchange Act
and
 
such
 
information
 
is
 
accumulated
 
and
 
communicated
 
to
 
management,
 
as
 
appropriate,
 
to
 
allow
 
timely
 
decisions
 
regarding
required disclosures.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under
 
the Exchange Act)
 
that occurred during
 
the quarter ended

2023 that have
 
materially affected, or
 
are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control
 
over financial reporting.
