million of net unrealized loss which remains in Accumulated
 
other comprehensive income (AOCI) related to certain
securities transferred from available-for-sale securities
 
portfolio to the held-to-maturity securities portfolio as
 
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
 
in 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 March 31, 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
 
March
 
31,
 
2023,
 
the
 
portfolio
 
of
 
“Obligations
 
of
 
Puerto
 
Rico,
 
States
 
and
 
political
 
subdivisions”
 
also
 
includes
 
$
41
 
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
 
March
 
31,
 
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
707
 
(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.
Delinquency status
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were
no
 
securities held-to-maturity in past due or non-performing
 
status.
