Adjusted results – Non GAAP

The Corporation prepared its Consolidated Financial Statement using accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or the “reported basis”). In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management monitors the performance of the Corporation on an “adjusted basis” and excludes the impact of certain transactions on the results of its operations. Management believes that the “adjusted basis” provides meaningful information about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations. The “adjusted basis” is a non-GAAP financial measure.

The following tables reflect the results of operations for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the results of the fourth quarter of 2015, with adjustments to exclude the impact of certain events during the fourth quarter of 2015. No adjustments are reflected for the first quarter of 2016 results.

[1] Covered loans represent loans acquired in the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction that are covered under an FDIC loss-sharing agreement.

[2] Represents restructuring charges associated with the reorganization of BPNA.

[3] Represents the impact of the fair value adjustments, identified during the remeasurement period as defined by U.S. GAAP, related to the Doral Bank transaction. The remeasurement adjustments impacted the fair value of the loan portfolio, deposit premium and the core deposit intangible, all of which were recorded against goodwill. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the related amortization of the loan discounts, deposit premium and the core deposit intangible were adjusted to reflect the balance as if the revised estimates of fair value were applied as of the Doral Bank transaction date.

[4] Represents the impact of a bulk sale of loans at the BPPR segment, which had a book value of approximately $34.4 million.

[5] Represents additional impairment based on the estimated fair value of loans in the Westernbank transaction, that the Corporation has the intent to sell and are subject to the ongoing arbitration with the FDIC.

[6] Represents the partial reversal of the valuation allowance of a portion of the deferred tax asset at the U.S. operations.

Net interest income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Corporation had net interest income of $352.4 million, compared to net interest income of $352.5 million, or $350.6 million on an adjusted basis, for the previous quarter. The net interest margin was 4.43% for the quarter, compared to 4.42%, or 4.39% on an adjusted basis for the previous quarter. Refer to the Adjusted Results – Non-GAAP section for additional information on the adjusted net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The impact of having one less day in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to the previous quarter lowered net interest income by approximately $2.5 million.

The increase of $1.8 million in the adjusted net interest income is mainly related to:

• Higher income from investment securities by $3.9 million, or 12 basis points, due mainly to higher volumes of mortgage backed securities, partially offset by lower volume of money market investments and trading securities, as part of the Corporation’s investment strategy.
• Higher income from commercial loans by $3.2 million, or 20 basis points, mainly due to higher yields at BPPR due to the impact of the change in the prime rate for variable rate loans and higher loan prepayment fees coupled with U.S. commercial and consumer loans portfolio growth. The impact in the interest income from commercial loans of one less day in the quarter is approximately $1.2 million.

These positive variances in net interest income were offset in part by:

• Lower income from Westernbank loans (“WB loans”) by $3.0 million, or 6 basis points, due mainly to lower balances as the portfolio continues its expected run-off.
• Higher interest expense on deposits by $1.5 million, or 3 basis points, principally due to higher balances and cost of time deposits mainly in the U.S. to fund loan growth and the re-pricing of individual retirement accounts at BPPR, partially offset by a lower volume of brokered CDs.

BPPR’s net interest income amounted to $305.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $305.1 million for the previous quarter. The adjusted net interest income for the previous quarter was $304.3 million. The increase of $1.1 million in the adjusted net interest income was mainly due to higher income on investment securities and higher yield on commercial loans, partially offset by lower income from covered loans and higher cost of deposits, as discussed above. The impact of having one less day in the quarter in P.R. is a lower net interest income of approximately $2 million. Net interest margin increased to 4.87% from 4.82% in the previous quarter, or 4.80% on an adjusted basis, mainly driven by higher yields on commercial loans as explained above. Earning assets in P.R. yielded 5.27% up from 5.20% in the last quarter of 2015 while the cost of interest bearing liabilities was relatively flat at 0.57% compared to 0.56% in the previous quarter.

BPNA’s net interest income was $62.3 million, compared to $62.9 million for the previous quarter. The adjusted net interest income for the previous quarter was $61.7 million. The increase of $0.6 million in the adjusted net interest income is mainly driven by higher volume from the commercial and consumer loan portfolios, partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits, as discussed above. Net interest margin was 3.70% compared to 3.86% for the previous quarter. The adjusted net interest margin for the previous quarter was 3.79%. The decrease of 9 basis points is related to a lower yield on construction loans and higher cost of deposits. U.S. earning assets yielded 4.36%, flat when compared to the previous quarter, while interest bearing liabilities increased by 8 basis points to 0.85%.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income was $111.6 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $20.8 million when compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the transaction detailed in the Adjusted Results Non-GAAP tables above, non-interest income decreased by $20.0 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven primarily by the following:

• Lower other service fees by $13.5 million mainly due to lower insurance fees by $11.0 million as a result of annual contingent insurance commission revenues recorded during fourth quarter of 2015, including approximately $3.7 million from the portfolio acquired from the Doral insurance agency. Refer to Table F for a breakdown of other service fees.
• Lower income from mortgage banking activities by $12.0 million due to higher unfavorable fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights by $6.4 million, lower net gain on sale of loans by $4.1 million mostly due to lower volume from mortgage securitization transactions, and higher trading account loss by $2.6 million from higher realized losses on closed derivative positions.

These decreases were partially offset by:

• Favorable variance in adjustments to indemnity reserves by $4.5 million mostly due to lower provision for loans previously sold with credit recourse due to lower estimated losses and a lower portfolio balance.
• Lower FDIC loss share expense by $1.2 million mainly due to lower recoveries on assets to be shared with the FDIC under the recovery period by $5.9 million, offset by an unfavorable change in the fair value of the true-up payment obligation.

Refer to Table B for further details.

See additional details on accounting for the 2010 FDIC-Assisted transaction in Table O.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses amounted to $301.9 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decline of $3.9 million when compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the transactions detailed in the Adjusted Results Non-GAAP tables above, operating expenses decreased by $3.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven primarily by:

• Lower business promotion expenses by $4.1 million mainly at BPPR due to lower seasonal advertising expense and lower credit card rewards program expenses.
• Lower other operating expenses by $3.8 million mainly due to lower sundry losses from mortgage servicing activities at BPPR.
• Lower professional fees expense by $2.4 million mainly at BPPR due to lower legal, application processing, hosting and other technology related services expenses.
• Lower equipment expense by $1.5 million mainly due to lower software and maintenance expenses at BPPR.

These decreases were partially offset by:

• Higher personnel cost by $7.9 million mainly due to the grant of employee restricted stock and performance shares awards during the quarter, higher unemployment and social security tax, higher medical plan expense and higher pension cost due to changes in actuarial assumptions.

Non-personnel credit-related costs, which include collections, appraisals, credit related fees, and OREO expenses, amounted to $13.6 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared with $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was principally due to lower mortgage OREO write-downs at BPPR.

Full-time equivalent employees were 7,812 as of March 31, 2016, compared with 7,810 as of December 31, 2015.

For a breakdown of operating expenses by category refer to table B.

Income taxes

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $32.3 million, compared to a benefit of $16.8 million for the previous quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation recorded a partial reversal of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets from the U.S. operations for approximately $44.1 million. On an adjusted basis, the income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $30.8 million.

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 28%, compared to 24% on an adjusted basis, for the previous quarter. The effective tax rate is impacted by the composition and source of the taxable income. For the first quarter 2016, after taking effect for the partial deferred tax asset valuation reversal recorded in 2015, the effective tax rate for the U.S. operations was approximately 47%.

Credit Quality

The Corporation continued to exhibit a stable credit performance despite a challenging operating environment in Puerto Rico. The Corporation continues to be attentive to changes in credit quality trends and is focused on taking measures to minimize risks. The U.S. operation continued to reflect strong credit quality with low level of charge-offs and non-performing loans.

• Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, increased by $8.9 million quarter over quarter, mainly driven by a $10.5 million commercial borrower in the BPNA segment. In the BPPR segment, inflows decreased by $2.5 million driven by lower mortgage inflows of $6.5 million, offset by an increase of $3.9 million in the commercial NPL inflows.
• Non-performing loans held-in-portfolio decreased by $2.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly driven by lower mortgage NPLs of $16.6 million, offset by higher commercial NPLs of $15.8 million. Mortgage NPLs decrease was mostly driven by improvements in the BPPR mortgage portfolio due to the improved collections efforts. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in commercial NPLs mainly driven by the abovementioned $10.5 million relationship at BPNA. At March 31, 2016, NPLs to total loans held-in-portfolio remained flat at 2.7% from December 31, 2015.
• Net charge-offs decreased by $40.4 million during the first quarter of 2016, as the prior quarter included $31.1 million in charge-offs related to commercial relationships that had been reserved in prior quarters. Excluding this impact, the $9.3 million reduction was mostly related to lower impairment on the Westernbank loans. The ratio of net charge-offs to average non-covered loans held-in-portfolio decreased to 0.76% on an annualized basis from 1.48% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding the effect of commercial relationships reserved in prior quarters, the net charge-off ratio decreased to 0.76% from 0.93% in the prior quarter driven by lower commercial losses in the BPPR segment. Refer to Table J for further information on net charge-offs and related ratios.
• The allowance for loan losses increased by $5.5 million from the fourth quarter 2015 to $508.4 million. The general and specific reserves related to non-covered loans totaled $384.4 million and $124.0 million, respectively, at quarter-end, compared with $384.8 million and $118.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 2.26% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 2.25% from the previous quarter.
• The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 84.8%, compared to 83.6% in the previous quarter.
• The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2016 amounted to $47.9 million, decreasing by $9.8 million from the previous quarter. The provision for the fourth quarter of 2015 included $5.8 million provision impact related to the bulk sale of commercial loans and a $5.1 million impairment on the Westernbank loans that the Corporation has the intent to sell. Compared to an adjusted provision of $46.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, the provision for the first quarter remained stable, increasing slightly by $1.1 million. The provision to net charge-offs ratio was 112.9% compared to 69.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The fourth quarter included the previously mentioned $31.1 million in charge-offs of previously reserved commercial loans. Excluding this impact from the total net charge-offs base, the provision for the fourth quarter represented 90.3% of net charge-offs.

Stockholders’ equity	5,250,300	5,105,324	4,377,120

Total assets increased by $385.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2015 driven by:

• An increase of $313.9 million in money market, trading and investment securities mainly at BPPR by $362.7 million mostly due to purchases of mortgage-backed agency pools and U.S. Treasury securities, partially offset by a decrease at BPNA of $48.9 million mainly due to lower balances with the Federal Reserve Bank; and
• An increase of $161.6 million in non-covered loans held in portfolio mainly at BPNA by $206.8 million, driven by growth in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios, which includes consumer loan portfolio purchases of $85.7 million, partially offset by a decrease of $45.2 million at BPPR mainly due to lower originations of credit cards and residential mortgages.

These increases were partially offset by:

• A decrease of approximately $90.8 million in the FDIC Loss Share Asset mainly due to collections from the FDIC of $88.6 million.

Total liabilities increased by $240.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by:

• An increase of $316.9 million in deposits mainly at BPPR by $189.1 million largely due to increases in government deposit accounts and at BPNA by $127.8 million mainly from money market accounts and time deposits growth. Refer to Table G for additional information on deposits.

This increase was partially offset by:

• A decrease of $79.0 million in notes payable mainly due to maturities of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”).

Stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $145.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly as a result of net income for the quarter of $85.0 million, a favorable variance of $73.4 million in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, partially offset by payments of dividends of $15.5 million on common stock of $0.15 per share and $0.9 million in dividends on preferred stock.

Common equity tier-1 ratio ("CET1") and tangible book value per share were 15.79% and $43.55, respectively, at March 31, 2016 compared to 16.21% and $42.18 at December 31, 2015. The major drivers of the decrease of 42 basis points in the CET1 ratio were the anticipated phase-in provisions of Basel III, including the complete phase out of the trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital and additional exclusion of DTA balances from CET1, that were effective on January 1, 2016. Refer to Table A for capital ratios.

[1] The legacy portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, construction loans and lease financings related to certain lending products exited by the Corporation as part of restructuring efforts carried out in prior years at the BPNA segment.

[2] Non-performing loans held-for-sale as of March 31, 2016 consisted of $42.7 million in commercial loans and $2 thousand in construction loans (December 31, 2015 - $45 million in commercial loans and $95 thousand in construction loans; March 31, 2015 - $225 thousand in mortgage loans and $8.2 million in commercial loans.)

[3] 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 $161 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of March 31, 2016 (December 31, 2015 - $164 million; March 31, 2015 - $134 million). Furthermore, the Corporation has approximately $68 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 (December 31, 2015 - $70 million; March 31, 2015 - $69 million).
