[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 September 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 $ 19 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 September 30, 2023 At December 31, 2022 (In thousands) Securities issued by Puerto Rico municipalities Watch $ 2,255 $ 13,735 Pass 16,565 10,925 Total $ 18,820 $ 24,660 At September 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 September 30, 2023, the average refreshed FICO score for the representative sample, comprised of 67 % 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 September 30, 2023, the portfolio of “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions” also includes $ 7 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no securities held-to-maturity in past due or non-performing status.
