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, 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 December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $
25
 
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,
 
2021
 
-
 
$
30
 
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 December
 
31, 2022,
 
the portfolio
 
of “Obligations
 
of Puerto
 
Rico, States
 
and political
 
subdivisions” also
 
includes $
42
 
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, 2021 -
 
$
43
 
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 December 31,
 
2022, the average
refreshed FICO
 
score
 
for the
 
representative sample,
 
comprised of
65
%
 
of
 
the
 
nominal value
 
of the
 
securities, used
 
for the
 
loss
estimate was
 
of
707
 
(compared to
64
%
 
and
704
,
 
respectively,
 
at December
 
31, 2021).
 
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 24
to the
 
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements
for additional
 
information on
 
the Corporation’s
 
exposure to
 
the Puerto
Rico Government.
Delinquency status
At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
 
there were
no
 
securities held-to-maturity in past due or non-performing
 
status.
