Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On February 5, 2013, First BanCorp. (the Corporation), the bank holding company for FirstBank Puerto Rico (FirstBank or the Bank), issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the presentation that the Corporation will use at its conference call to discuss its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. As announced in a press release dated January 30, 2013, the call may be accessed via a live Internet webcast at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 through the investor relations section of the Corporations website: www.firstbankpr.com or through the dial-in telephone number (888) 317-6016 or (412) 317-6016 for international callers. The conference number is 10024656.
The Corporation has included in this release the following financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles, which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures: (i) the calculation of net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin rate on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and certain financial liabilities; (ii) the calculation of the tangible common equity ratio and the tangible book value per common share; (iii) the Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio; and (iv) the adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income. Investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be read only in conjunction with the Corporations consolidated financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The release includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures, except for the reconciliation with respect to the calculation of net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin rate on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and certain financial liabilities which is included below.
Net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin are reported on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and financial liabilities elected to be measured at fair value (valuations). The presentation of net interest income excluding valuations provides additional information about the Corporations net interest income and facilitates comparability and analysis. The changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on liabilities measured at fair value have no effect on interest due or interest earned on interest-bearing liabilities or interest-earning assets, respectively. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a marginal income tax rate, as described in Exhibit A Tables 2 and 3 of the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt securities and certain loans, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of the Corporations results to results of its peers.

The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis excluding valuations with net interest income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The table also reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures net interest spread on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding valuations and net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding valuations with net interest spread and net interest margin calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation reported net income of $29.8 million, an improvement compared to the net loss of $82.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, adjusted net interest income and margin, and certain capital ratios, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying tables (Exhibit A), which are an integral part of this press release.

| Net interest income of $125.2 million, excluding fair value adjustments of $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million. |

First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012 Page 2 of 30
Aurelio Alemán, President and Chief Executive Officer of First BanCorp., commented: Fourth quarter results capped a year of strong progress for First BanCorp., and we are pleased to report our third consecutive quarterly profit and first profitable year since 2008. The progress in advancing the franchise operating metrics is evident, pre-tax, pre-provision income reached $54.5 million for the quarter, up $26.0 million, or 91%, compared to the same quarter last year. Results for year 2012 reflect year-over-year improvements in a number of key areas, including an expanded net interest margin, stabilization in credit quality metrics, and a significant growth in non-brokered deposits and fee income. The net profit growth was also aided by lower provisions for loan losses. This growth has occurred in a challenging economic environment and demonstrates the strength of our franchise and the continued benefits from effectively executing our strategic plan.
During the year 2012, we have achieved significant improvements, including pre-tax, pre-provision income of $178.5 million, up 38% from the prior year; net interest income of $461.7 million, an increase of $68.2 million from last year; net interest margin of 3.63%, up significantly from 2.82% in 2011; and fee income derived from deposits, loan products and transaction fees increased by approximately $6 million, including fee income generated from the credit card portfolio acquired in 2012. The Corporations credit-risk profile improved as total non-performing assets decreased $99.1 million, or 7%, from last year and total net charge-offs decreased $116.5 million, or 39%. The quality of our deposit base improved in 2012 with a $313.7 million, or 5%, growth in non-brokered deposits while the number of consumer and commercial deposit customers in Puerto Rico grew 11% and 20%, respectively.
Lower rates paid on both brokered and non-brokered deposits and the reduction in the overall cost of funds were key to the expanded net interest margin, as we continued to improve the overall funding mix through our strategic focus on growing non-brokered deposits. In addition, the First Bank-branded credit card portfolio acquired in 2012 was an important contributor to our improvement in net interest income, diversified our revenue stream, and provides opportunities to broaden and deepen our relationship with our customers. Many of our credit quality performance metrics continued to show signs of improvement as reflected by the decrease in non-performing assets and net charge-offs; nevertheless, non-performing asset levels remain elevated and continue to be a challenge in the current economic environment. Improving asset quality continues to be our first priority as we continue with our emphasis on loan workouts and non-performing assets disposition strategies.
Mr. Alemán stated further: Earnings generation over the past three quarters has strengthened our capital position. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to invest in our franchise through enhanced products and services, and work to improve our credit quality and operating efficiency in order to achieve consistent, profitable growth in the future and generate appropriate returns for our shareholders.

Adjusted Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Income Trends
One metric that management believes is useful in analyzing performance is the level of earnings adjusted to exclude tax expense, the provision for loan and lease losses, securities gains or losses, fair value adjustments on derivatives and liabilities measured at fair value and equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated entities, a non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, from time to time, earnings are adjusted also for items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or for items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that management believes that a complete analysis of the Corporations performance requires consideration also of results that exclude such amounts (for additional information about these non-GAAP financial measures, see Adjusted Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Income in Basis of Presentation).

As discussed in the sections that follow, the increase in adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income from the 2012 third quarter primarily reflected an increase of $2.0 million in revenues from the mortgage banking business, driven by a higher gain on sales and securitizations of residential mortgage loans, and a $0.9 million decrease in non-interest expenses led by lower losses on REO operations and a decrease in professional services fees.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, excluding fair value adjustments on derivatives and financial liabilities measured at fair value (valuations), and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis are non-GAAP measures. (See Basis of Presentation Net Interest Income, Excluding Valuations and on a Tax-Equivalent Basis below for additional information.) The following table reconciles net interest income in accordance with GAAP to net interest income, excluding valuations, and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis. The table also reconciles net interest spread and net interest margin on a GAAP basis to these items excluding valuations and on a tax-equivalent basis.

Net interest income, excluding valuations, remained relatively flat reflecting a decrease of $0.1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2012. The slight decrease was primarily related to a $116.2 million decrease in average commercial loans and an 8 basis point decrease in the net interest margin, mainly driven by higher cash balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, partially offset by a reduction in total funding costs. The decrease in the average balance of commercial loans continued to be driven by principal repayments. The average cash balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, at a rate of 0.25%, were higher by approximately $280.5 million compared to the third quarter due to heightened regulatory liquidity expectations for the industry and limited available investment alternatives.
First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012 Page 5 of 30
Low market interest rates and diligence in managing deposit pricing resulted in the fourth quarter cost of interest-bearing deposits declining 10 basis points in comparison to the previous quarter, driving the reduction in total funding costs. The average cost of brokered CDs decreased by 21 basis points. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Corporation repaid approximately $710.6 million of maturing brokered CDs with an all-in cost of 1.99% and new issuances amounted to $678.2 million with an all-in cost of 1.03%. Meanwhile, the average rate paid on non-brokered deposits, including interest-bearing checking accounts, savings and retail CDs, declined by 2 basis points to 1.01% during the fourth quarter of 2012. The Corporations strategic focus remains to grow non-brokered deposits and improve the overall funding mix. Average non-brokered deposits increased by $24.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $30.5 million, up $1.5 million from the third quarter 2012 provision, primarily reflecting increases in the provision for commercial mortgage loans in the United States portfolio driven by higher charges to the specific reserve of impaired collateral dependent loans and losses on non-performing loans sold. Partially offsetting this increase was a loan loss reserve release for construction loans. Historical loss rates, adjusted for current risk factors, continued to improve as lower recent charge-off activity has replaced higher levels rolled out of the 24-months look back period used when evaluating the general reserve determination. Lower charges to the specific reserve of certain impaired construction loans in the Virgin Islands also contributed to the variance in the provision. The provision for loan and lease losses in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $10.1 million lower than net charge-offs, reflecting a slow but steady improvement in credit quality (see Credit Quality section below for a full discussion).

Non-interest income decreased $3.4 million from the 2012 third quarter primarily due to:
| Equity in losses of unconsolidated entities of approximately $8.3 million recorded in the fourth quarter, a negative variance of $6.1 million, compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. This adjustment is related to the Banks investment in CPG/GS PR NPL, LLC (CPG/GS), the entity that purchased $269.2 million of loans from FirstBank in 2011. The Bank holds a 35% subordinated ownership interest in CPG/GS. This investment is accounted under the equity method and following the hypothetical liquidation book value (HLBV) method to determine the Banks share in CPG/GS earnings or losses. Under the HLBV method the Bank determines its share in CPG/GS earnings or losses by determining the difference between its claim on CPG/GS book value at the end of the period as compared to the beginning of the period assuming the liquidation of the entity at the end of each reporting period. The negative variance results from changes in the fair value of loans receivable held by CPG/GS where fair value is determined on a discounted cash flows basis. At valuation dates, key |

inputs and assumptions are updated to reflect changes in the market, the performance of the underlying assets, and expectations of a market participant. |
Partially offset by:
| A $2.0 million increase in revenues from the mortgage banking business, including a $1.5 million increase in gain on sales and securitizations of residential mortgage loans. The Corporation sold and securitized approximately $141.4 million of residential mortgage loans in the fourth quarter of 2012, realizing gains of $6.0 million (including the recognition of servicing assets), compared to sales and securitizations of $112.7 million and gains of $4.5 million recorded in the third quarter. |
| A decrease of $0.5 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges (OTTI) on private label MBS compared to the OTTI recorded in the third quarter. |
| A $0.4 million increase in credit card merchant fees driven by higher processing volumes, included as part of Other service charges in the table above. |

Non-interest expenses decreased $0.9 million to $90.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to the third quarter of 2012, substantially related to:
| A $2.5 million decrease in losses from REO activities primarily reflecting lower losses at the time of sale of both commercial and residential REO properties and decreased property tax expenses. |
| A $0.7 million decrease in professional fees mainly related to legal fees. |
| A $0.5 million decrease in municipal taxes. |
| A $0.8 million decrease in the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable and sundry losses. |
Partially offset by:
| Charges of $0.8 million related to a contingent payment agreement associated with the credit card portfolio acquired from FIA Card Services, included as part of Other in the table above. For the term of the Interim Service Agreement with FIA Card Services, the Corporation is charged when actual credit losses are lower than estimated monthly loan losses at the time of acquisition of the credit card portfolio based on pre-agreed thresholds. The amounts of the contingent payments are capped under the terms of the agreement. |
| A $0.7 million increase in servicing and data processing fees, included as part of Other in the table above. |
First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012 Page 7 of 30
| A $0.5 million negative variance in the provision for off-balance sheet exposures (mainly for unfunded loan commitments), included as part of Other in the table above, as this quarter reflects a reserve release of $0.8 million compared to a release of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. |
| A $0.8 million increase in employees compensation and benefits expenses reflecting higher recruiting expenses and severance payments incurred in the fourth quarter. |
Income Taxes
The income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 amounted to $1.5 million compared to an income tax expense of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, a variance driven by higher taxable income of profitable subsidiaries, including a recovery of $1.8 million related to previously fully charged-off consumer loans sold during the quarter. As of December 31, 2012, the deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance of $359.4 million, amounted to $4.9 million compared to $4.6 million as of September 30, 2012. Under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are treated as separate taxable entities and are not entitled to file consolidated tax returns; thus, losses of one entity cannot offset income of another entity.

Credit quality continued to improve at a slow but steady pace in the fourth quarter of 2012. Total non-performing loans, including non-performing loans held for sale, decreased by $30.2 million led by foreclosures, charge-offs, principal repayments, modified loans with a sustained performance period, and, to a lesser extent, loan sales in the United States. These factors offset an increase of $21.0 million of non-performing loans inflows, driven by several C&I relationships in excess of $1 million. Total non-performing assets, which include repossessed assets, decreased by $21.1 million, or 2%. Total delinquencies, which include all loans 30 days or more past due and non-accrual loans, decreased by $66.2 million and the level of adversely classified commercial and construction loans held for investment decreased by $24.0 million, or 2% compared to the prior quarter. The initial fair value of purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans includes an estimate of credit losses expected to be realized over the remaining lives of the loans, and, therefore, PCI loans with a carrying value as of December 31, 2012 of approximately $10.6 million purchased as part of the credit card portfolio acquired from FIA are excluded from delinquency and non-performing loan statistics. The net charge-off activity remained relatively flat at $40.6 million. Given the prolonged recession and uncertainties in the economic environment in Puerto Rico, the Corporation continued to face pressures related to its non-performing and charge-offs levels. The Corporation continues with its emphasis on loan workouts and the evaluation of opportunities for dispositions. During the fourth quarter of 2012, approximately $2.2 million (net of

charge-offs of $2.3 million) of non-performing commercial mortgage and C&I loans were transferred to held for sale and $4.8 million (net of charge-offs of $1.8 million) of non-performing commercial mortgage loans were sold in the United States.
Non-Performing Loans and Non-Performing Assets
Total non-performing loans, including non-performing loans held for sale, were $977.8 million at December 31, 2012. This represents a decrease of $30.2 million, or 3%, from $1.01 billion at September 30, 2012.
Non-performing commercial mortgage loans, including non-performing commercial mortgage loans held for sale, decreased by $24.7 million, or 11%, from the end of the third quarter of 2012. A combination of factors contributed to the decrease, including: (i) foreclosures of $9.0 million, (ii) restoration to accrual status after a sustained performance period of $7.9 million of modified loans, (iii) charge-offs of $5.0 million, (iv) the sale of $4.8 million of loans in the United States, and (v) principal repayments of $3.9 million. Non-performing commercial mortgage loans decreased by $10.7 million in Puerto Rico, led by modified loans restored to accrual status, foreclosures and principal repayments, while non-performing commercial mortgage loans in the United States decreased by $13.4 million driven by foreclosures and sales. The decrease of $0.5 million in the Virgin Islands was driven by a $2.9 million modified loan restored to accrual status after a sustained period of performance, partially offset by the inflow of a $2.3 million loan. Total inflows of non-performing commercial mortgage loans of $5.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased by $8.5 million compared to inflows of $14.4 million in the third quarter.
Non-performing construction loans decreased by $11.3 million, or 6%, from the end of the third quarter of 2012 primarily reflecting principal repayments of $7.7 million, foreclosures of $2.5 million and net charge-offs of $1.8 million. The decrease in non-performing construction loans was primarily in Puerto Rico with a reduction of $11.0 million. The inflows of non-performing construction loans of $0.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased by $0.6 million compared to inflows of $1.3 million in the third quarter.
Non-performing residential mortgage loans decreased by $7.3 million, or 2%, from September 30, 2012. The decrease includes approximately $19.6 million of loans with cured delinquencies and also reflects reductions due to foreclosures of $15.4 million and the restoration to accrual status of approximately $7.0 million of modified loans that successfully completed a trial performance period. Borrowers payments and charge-offs also contributed to the decrease. Non-performing residential mortgage loans decreased by $4.9 million, $1.9 million, and $0.5 million in Puerto Rico, the United States, and Virgin Islands, respectively, compared to the third quarter. The level of inflows of non-performing residential mortgage loans increased from $44.1 million for the third quarter of 2012 to $51.0 million in the fourth quarter. Approximately $170.6 million, or 54% of total non-performing residential mortgage loans, have been written down to their net realizable value.
Non-performing C&I loans, including non-performing C&I loans held for sale, increased by $10.1 million, or 4%, on a sequential quarter basis driven by inflows of $34.5 million mainly concentrated on six relationships in Puerto Rico in individual amounts that exceed $1 million and aggregate $31.4 million. Total inflows of non-performing C&I loans increased by $19.2 million from $15.3 million for the third quarter of 2012 to $34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Partially offsetting the inflows were charge-offs of $10.7 million, foreclosures of $4.9 million, and $4.1 million of modified loans restored to accrual status after a sustained period of performance.
The levels of non-performing consumer loans, including finance leases, showed a $2.8 million increase during the fourth quarter of 2012 mainly related to auto loans. The inflows of non-performing consumer loans increased from $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 to $19.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, approximately $248.8 million, or 26%, of total non-performing loans held for investment have been charged-off to their net realizable value. (See Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses discussion below for additional information.)

The REO portfolio, which is part of non-performing assets, increased by $8.8 million to $185.8 million, mainly reflecting increases in foreclosures of residential in Puerto Rico and commercial properties in the United States. We expect to see continued movement of credits in and out of REO as we continue to execute our loan resolution strategies.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses of $30.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million higher than the provision recorded in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the provision was principally related to the commercial mortgage loan portfolio in the United States. This was partially offset by a reserve release for construction loans. It is important to note that, despite the total decrease of $10.1 million in the allowance for loan losses, the reserve coverage for non-performing loans shows a slight increase. The allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans ratio was 44.63% as of December 31, 2012 compared to 44.20% at the end of the prior quarter.
First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012 Page 10 of 30
The Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $3.2 million in the United States for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to a reserve release of $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the provision was mainly related to higher charges to the specific reserve of impaired collateral dependent commercial mortgage loans and losses related to non-performing loans sold.
In Puerto Rico, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $23.9 million, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily related to a $1.4 million decrease in the provision for residential mortgage loans mainly related to improvements in delinquency trends, reserve releases for construction loans that were $1.3 million higher than the prior quarter reflecting improvements in the cumulative charge-off history used for the general reserve determination and a $0.7 million decrease in the provision for consumer loans mainly related to the credit cards portfolio. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in the provision for commercial mortgage loans driven by charge-offs of loans transferred to held for sale. The provision for C&I loans was stable showing a decrease of $0.1 million.
With respect to the Virgin Islands portfolio, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to a provision of $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. Most of the decrease was associated with lower charges to the specific reserve for two construction commercial projects.

Balance Sheet
Total assets were approximately $13.1 billion as of December 31, 2012, down $40.0 million from September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily reflected in total loans, net of allowance, which declined $106.9 million, led by repayments of commercial loans, charge-offs and foreclosures, partially offset by increases in auto and consumer personal loans. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $56.9 million and total investments increased by $132.3 million mainly due to purchases of approximately $214 million of FHLB Notes in light of increased liquidity.
The Corporation is experiencing continued loan demand and has continued with its targeted origination strategy. During the fourth quarter of 2012, total loan originations, including refinancings and draws from existing revolving and non-revolving commitments, amounted to approximately $816.4 million, up from $660.2 million in loan originations in the previous quarter, mainly reflecting increases in C&I, government, residential, and construction loan originations. C&I loan originations (excluding government loans) amounted to $303.3 million, an increase of $75.8 million compared to the prior quarter, mainly related to draws from revolving commitments and renewals. Government loan originations amounted to $49.4 million, an increase of $33.8 million compared to the previous quarter. Residential mortgage loan originations and purchases amounted to $213.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $187.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. Originations of auto loans (including finance leases) amounted to $149.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $151.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 and other personal loan originations amounted to $57.5 million, which was relatively flat compared to the prior quarter. The aforementioned figures exclude the utilization activity on outstanding credit cards of approximately $97.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $95.0 million in the third quarter.
As of December 31, 2012, liabilities totaled $11.6 billion, a decrease of approximately $40.9 million from September 30, 2012. The decrease in total liabilities is mainly attributable to a decline of $33.8 million in brokered CDs and repayments of $10.0 million of matured FHLB advances. Non-brokered deposits increased by $2.0 million, reflecting an increase of $151.5 million in core savings and, demand deposits, and retail CDs, partially offset by a decrease of $149.5 million in government fund deposits.
The Corporations total stockholders equity amounted to $1.49 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.9 million from September 30, 2012, driven by the net income of $14.5 million partially offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income due to lower unrealized gains on available for sale securities.
The Corporations total capital, Tier 1 capital, and leverage ratios as of December 31, 2012 were 17.82%, 16.51%, and 12.60%, respectively, compared to total capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios of 17.52%, 16.20%, and 12.71%, respectively, at the end of the prior quarter. Meanwhile, the total capital, Tier 1 capital, and leverage ratios as of December 31, 2012 of its banking subsidiary, FirstBank Puerto Rico, were 17.35%, 16.04%, and 12.25%, respectively, compared to total capital, Tier 1 capital, and leverage ratios of 17.03%, 15.71%, and 12.35%, respectively, at the end of the prior quarter. Earnings generation continues to strengthen the Corporations capital position and a reduction in risk-weighted assets reflects primarily the effect of repayments of commercial loans. All of the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank are well above the minimum required under the Consent Order entered into with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Given the Consent Order, however, the Bank cannot be considered to be a well-capitalized institution.
Although uncertainty exists regarding final capital rules, based on our current interpretation of the proposed Basel III capital rules we anticipate to exceed the fully phased-in minimum capital ratios as established in the current proposal. The proposed Basel III capital rules and our interpretations used in estimating our Basel III calculations are subject to change depending on the final Basel III capital rules.

Tangible Common Equity
The Corporations tangible common equity ratio increased to 10.44% as of December 31, 2012 from 10.39% as of September 30, 2012 and the Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio increased to 13.61% as of December 31, 2012 from 13.33% as of September 30, 2012.

In arriving at Tier 1 capital, institutions are required to deduct net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values, net of tax. |
2- | Approximately $11 million of the Corporations deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012 (September 30, 2012$12 million; June 30, 2012$12 million; March 31, 2012$12 million; December 31, 2011$13 million) was included without limitation in regulatory capital pursuant to the risk-based capital guidelines, while approximately $0 of such assets at December 31, 2012 (September 30, 2012$40k; June 30, 2012$41k; March 31, 2012$25k; December 31, 2011$0) exceeded the limitation imposed by these guidelines and, as disallowed deferred tax assets, was deducted in arriving at Tier 1 capital. According to regulatory capital guidelines, the deferred tax assets that are dependent upon future taxable income are limited for inclusion in Tier 1 capital to the lesser of: (i) the amount of such deferred tax asset that the entity expects to realize within one year of the calendar quarter-end date, based on its projected future taxable income for that year, or (ii) 10% of the amount of the entitys Tier 1 capital. Approximately $6 million of the Corporations other net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2012 (September 30, 2012$7 million; June 30, 2012$7 million; March 31, 2012$7 million; December 31, 2011$8 million) represented primarily the deferred tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, which are permitted to be excluded prior to deriving the amount of net deferred tax assets subject to limitation under the guidelines. |

Basis of Presentation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are set forth when management believes they will be helpful to an understanding of the Corporations results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the text or in the attached tables to this earnings release.
Tangible Common Equity Ratio and Tangible Book Value per Common Share
The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP measures generally used by the financial community to evaluate capital adequacy. Tangible common equity is total equity less preferred equity, goodwill, core deposit intangibles, and other intangibles, such as the purchased credit card relationship intangible. Tangible assets are total assets less goodwill, core deposit intangibles, and other intangibles, such as the purchased credit card relationship intangible. 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 method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets, or the related measures should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets, and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Tier 1 Common Equity to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio
The Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio is calculated by dividing (a) Tier 1 capital less non-common elements including qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities by (b) risk-weighted assets, which assets are calculated in accordance with applicable bank regulatory requirements. The Tier 1 common equity ratio is not required by GAAP or on a recurring basis by applicable bank regulatory requirements. Management is currently monitoring this ratio, along with the other ratios discussed above, in evaluating the Corporations capital levels and believes that, at this time, the ratio may be of interest to investors.
Adjusted Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Income
A non-GAAP performance metric that management believes is useful in analyzing underlying performance trends, particularly in times of economic stress, is adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision
First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012 Page 19 of 30
income, as defined by management, represents net (loss) income excluding income tax expense (benefit), the provision for loan and lease losses, gains on sale and OTTI of investment securities, fair value adjustments on derivatives, and liabilities measured at fair value, equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated entities as well as certain items identified as unusual, non-recurring or non-operating.
From time to time, revenue and expenses are impacted by items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that management believes that a complete analysis of its Corporations performance requires consideration also of results that exclude such amounts. These items result from factors originating outside the Corporation such as regulatory actions/assessments, and may result from unusual management decisions, such as the early extinguishment of debt.
Net Interest Income, Excluding Valuations and on a Tax-Equivalent Basis
Net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin are reported excluding the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and financial liabilities elected to be measured at fair value on a tax-equivalent basis. The presentation of net interest income excluding valuations provides additional information about the Corporations net interest income and facilitates comparability and analysis. The changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on liabilities measured at fair value have no effect on interest due or interest earned on interest-bearing liabilities or interest-earning assets, respectively. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a marginal income tax rate. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt securities and certain loans, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of peers.

When adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis, yields on taxable and exempt assets are comparable. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and unrealized gains or losses on liabilities measured at fair value are excluded from interest income and interest expense because the changes in valuation do not affect interest paid or received. |

Net interest income remained relatively flat compared to Q3 2011.
Average loan balances declined by $98 million during Q4 resulting in a $2.8 million variance in net interest income.
A reduction of 10 basis points in funding costs was a positive contributor to the margin.
Excess cash held at the Fed was the largest contributing factor to the 8 basis point decline in the margin.
Non interest income* increased $2.8 million, or 16%, in Q4 2012.

Cost of total deposits net of brokered decreased to 0.88% from 0.91% in Q3 2012.
The average rate paid on non-brokered deposits, including interest-bearing checking accounts, savings and retail CDs, declined by 2 basis points to 1.01% during the fourth quarter.
The average cost of brokered deposits decreased 21 basis points.
Further reductions in interest expense and the average cost of funds could be realized during 2013, as maturing brokered CDs and advances are renewed at lower current rates.
$2.2 billion of brokered CDs at an average cost of 1.66% mature in the next twelve months.
(Renewals at current rates range between 75 and 125 basis points).

Results of Operations: CAPITAL POSITION
The Corporations total stockholders equity amounted to $1.49 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.9 million from September 30, 2012, driven by the net income of $14.5 million partially offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income due to lower unrealized gains on available fo or sale securities.
The capital levels continue to be strong as First BanCorp executes on its strategic plan.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Basis of Presentation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation may contain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are set forth when management believes they will be helpful to an understanding of the Corporations results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the text or in the attached tables to the earnings release.
The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP measures generally used by the financial community to evaluate capital adequacy. Tangible common equity is total equity less preferred equity, goodwill, core deposit intangibles and purchased credit card relationship intangible. Tangible assets are total assets less goodwill, core deposit intangibles and purchased credit card relationship intangible. 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 method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets, or the related measures should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders equity, total assets or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

The Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio is calculated by dividing (a) tier 1 capital less non-common elements including qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities by (b) risk-weighted assets, which assets are calculated in accordance with applicable bank regulatory requirements. The Tier 1 common equity ratio is not required by GAAP or on a recurring basis by applicable bank regulatory requirements. However, this ratio will be required under Basel III capital standards as proposed. Management is currently monitoring this ratio, along with the other ratios discussed above, in evaluating the Corporations capital levels and believes that, at this time, the ratio may be of interest to investors.

Tier 1 capital excludes net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities and net unrealized gains on available-for-sale
equity securities with readily determinable fair values, in accordance with regulatory risk-based capital guidelines. In arriving at
Tier 1 capital, institutions are required to deduct net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable
fair values, net of tax.

Approximately $11 million of the Corporations deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012 (September 30, 2012 - $12 million; June 30, 2012 - $12 million;
March 31, 2012 - $12 million; December 31, 2011 - $13 million) was included without limitation in regulatory capital pursuant to the risk-based capital guidelines,
while approximately $0 of such assets at December 31, 2012 (September 30, 2012 - $40k; June 30, 2012 - $41k; March 31, 2012 - $25k;
December 31, 2011 - $0) exceeded the limitation imposed by these guidelines and, as disallowed deferred tax assets, was deducted in arriving at Tier 1 capital.
According to regulatory capital guidelines, the deferred tax assets that are dependent upon future taxable income are limited for
inclusion in Tier 1 capital to the lesser of: (i) the amount of such deferred tax asset that the entity expects to realize within one year of
the calendar quarter-end date, based on its projected future taxable income for that year, or (ii) 10% of the amount of the entitys
Tier 1 capital. Approximately $6 million of the Corporations other net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2012 (September 30, 2012 - $7 million;
June 30, 2012 - $7 million; March 31, 2012 - $7 million; December 31, 2011 - $8 million) represented primarily the deferred tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale debt securities, which are permitted to be excluded prior to deriving the amount of net deferred tax assets subject to limitation under the guidelines.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation may contain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are set forth when management believes they will be helpful to an understanding of the Corporations results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the text or in the attached tables to the earnings release.
One non-GAAP performance metric that management believes is useful in analyzing underlying performance trends, particularly in times of economic stress, is adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, as defined by management, represents net (loss) income excluding income tax expense (benefit), the provision for loan and lease losses, gains on sale and OTTI of investment securities, fair value adjustments on derivatives and liabilities measured at fair value, equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated entities as well as certain items identified as unusual, non-recurring or non-operating.
From time to time, revenue and expenses are impacted by items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that management believes that a complete analysis of its Corporations performance requires consideration also of results that exclude such amounts. These items result from factors originating outside the Corporation such as regulatory actions/assessments, and may result from unusual management decisions, such as the early extinguishment of debt.
