FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may relate to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of OFG Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us” or “OFG”), including, but not limited to, statements with respect to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, delinquency trends, market risk and the impact of interest rate changes, capital markets conditions, capital adequacy and liquidity, and the effect of legal proceedings and new accounting standards on OFG’s financial condition and results of operations. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” “may,” or similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions by management that are difficult to predict. Various factors, some of which by their nature are beyond OFG’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
•the rate of growth in the economy and employment levels, inflationary pressures or recessionary conditions, as well as general business and economic conditions;
•changes in interest rates, as well as the magnitude of such changes;
•a credit default by municipalities of the government of Puerto Rico;
•amendments to the fiscal plan approved by the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico;
•determinations in the court-supervised debt-restructuring process under Title III of PROMESA for the Puerto Rico government and all of its agencies, including some of its public corporations, as well as the ability to successfully implement any court-approved plan of adjustment;
•unforeseen or catastrophic events, including extreme weather events, other natural disasters, man-made disasters, pandemics, war or other international conflicts (including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and acts of terrorism (including cyber-attacks), or utility disruptions, which could cause a disruption in our operations or other adverse consequences for our business;
•the impact of property, credit and other losses in Puerto Rico as a result of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters;
•the amount of government financial assistance for the reconstruction of Puerto Rico’s infrastructure, which was impacted by the effects of Hurricane Maria in 2017, earthquakes in 2020, and Hurricane Fiona in 2022;
•the pace and magnitude of Puerto Rico’s economic recovery;
•the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies;
•changes in federal bank regulatory and supervisory policies, including with respect to required levels of capital;
•the relative strength or weakness of the commercial and consumer credit sectors and the real estate market in Puerto Rico;
•the performance of the stock and bond markets;
•competition in the financial services industry;
•possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes; and
•the long-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, including government measures to contain pandemic, and their impact on the United States, Puerto Rico, and global economy, financial market conditions and our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Other possible events or factors that could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements include the following: negative economic conditions that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect, among other things, the level of non-performing assets, charge-offs and provision expense; changes in interest rates and market liquidity which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets; adverse movements and volatility in debt and equity capital markets; changes in market rates and prices which may adversely impact the value of financial assets and liabilities; risk of impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets; liabilities resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations; changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations; increased competition; OFG’s ability to grow its core businesses; decisions to downsize, sell or close units or otherwise change OFG’s business mix; and management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.
All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to OFG as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and other than as required by law, including the requirements of applicable securities laws, OFG assumes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
OFG is a publicly-owned financial holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. OFG operates through various subsidiaries including, a commercial bank, Oriental Bank (the “Bank”), a securities broker-dealer and investment adviser, Oriental Financial Services LLC (“Oriental Financial Services”), an insurance agency, Oriental Insurance LLC (“Oriental Insurance”), a captive reinsurance company, OFG Reinsurance Ltd (“OFG Reinsurance”), a retirement plan administrator, Oriental Pension Consultants, Inc. (“OPC”), and OFG Ventures LLC (“OFG Ventures”), which holds certain equity investments. Through these subsidiaries and their respective divisions, OFG provides a wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer and mortgage lending, auto leasing and lending, financial planning, insurance sales, money management, investment banking and securities brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of OFG have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of OFG on a consolidated basis, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). Operating results for nine-months period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and has recorded or disclosed those material events or transactions as described within the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to clarify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in this update reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the cash conversion model and the beneficial conversion feature model. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. In addition, this ASU improves disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. The ASU also revises the derivative scope exception guidance to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions driven by remote contingent events. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. OFG was not impacted by the adoption of this ASU since it does not hold these instruments.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Accounting Standards Updated Not Yet Adopted
Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs. In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 to add Subtopic 405-50 to require disclosures about a buyer’s supplier finance program obligations. Instead of creating a prescriptive definition of a supplier finance program based on certain contractual terms, it describes supplier finance programs more generally with an indicator to help preparers identify the arrangements that require disclosure. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Entities are permitted to early adopt. OFG does not expect this ASU will have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions Disclosures. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure
a contractual sale restriction and requires certain disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt these amendments, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments should be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. Upon adoption of this ASU, OFG will consider this guidance for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions.
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 to address the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310-402 and amend the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancing and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt these amendments, including adoption in any interim period, provided that the amendments are adopted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes the interim period of adoption. In addition, entities are permitted to elect to early adopt the amendments related to TDR accounting and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to the vintage disclosures. OFG does not plan to early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact on its presentation and disclosures upon adoption of this standard.
For other recently issued Accounting Standards Updates not yet effective, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
Hurricane Fiona
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, OFG was impacted by the effects of Hurricane Fiona, which made landfall in southwestern Puerto Rico on September 18, 2022. Hurricane Fiona caused, among other things, power outages, widespread flooding, water and communication services interruptions, property damage in some areas of the island, and disrupted economic activity throughout Puerto Rico.
Almost all of OFG’s operations and clients are located in Puerto Rico. Although OFG's business operations were temporarily disrupted by the damages to Puerto Rico’s critical infrastructure, mainly to its electric power grid, OFG’s digital channels, core banking and electronic funds transfer systems continued to function uninterrupted during and after the hurricane. Within days after Hurricane Fiona, OFG was able to open its main offices and many of its branches and ATMs in addition to its digital and phone trade channels.
Climate Events Expenses
OFG implemented its disaster response plan as the hurricane approached its service areas. To operate in disaster response mode and provide assistance to employees and the communities it serves, OFG incurred expenses amounting to $1.4 million.
Allowance for Credit Losses
As a result of this event, and based on current assessments of information available for the impact of the hurricane on our credit portfolio, third quarter 2022 results included an additional $6.9 million in loan loss provision, pre-tax. As OFG acquires additional information on overall economic prospects in the affected areas, together with further assessments of the impact on individual borrowers, the loss estimate will be further revised as needed.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
NOTE 3 – RESTRICTED CASH
OFG has a contract with FNMA which requires collateral to guarantee the repurchase, if necessary, of loans sold with recourse. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG delivered as collateral cash amounting to approximately $164 thousand and $175 thousand, respectively.
The Bank is required by Puerto Rico law to maintain average weekly reserve balances to cover demand deposits. The amount of those minimum average reserve balances for the week that covered September 30, 2022 was $485.3 million (December 31, 2021 - $456.5 million). At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank complied with this requirement. Cash and due from bank, as well as other short-term highly liquid securities, are used to cover the required average reserve balances.
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Money Market Investments
OFG considers as cash equivalents all money market instruments that are not pledged and that have maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, money market instruments included as part of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively.
Investment Securities
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value, weighted average yield and contractual maturities of the securities owned by OFG at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Investment securities as of September 30, 2022 include $286.4 million pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives, and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge, of which $285.9 million serve as collateral for public funds. Investment securities as of December 31, 2021 include $145.6 million pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives, and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge, of which $143.8 million serve as collateral for public funds.
The weighted average yield on debt securities available-for-sale is based on amortized cost and does not give effect to changes in fair value. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
Securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period of final contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, most securities held by OFG are issued by U.S. government entities and government-sponsored agencies that have a zero-credit loss assumption.
At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank’s international banking entities held short-term US Treasury securities in the amount of $305 thousand and $325 thousand, respectively, as the legal reserve required for international banking entities under Puerto Rico law. These instruments cannot be withdrawn or transferred without the prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico (“OCFI”).
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $80.4 million and $117.1 million amortized cost, respectively, at a yield of 3.53% and 2.51%, respectively, from its own originations.
There were no sales of securities during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

The determination of nonaccrual or accrual status of PCD loans is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level.
Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) programs are classified as non-performing loans when they become 90 days or more past due but are not placed in non-accrual status until they become 12 months or more past due, since they are insured loans. Therefore, those loans are included as non-performing loans but excluded from non-accrual loans.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, loans whose terms have been extended and which were classified as troubled-debt restructurings that were not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $145.5 million and $125.9 million, respectively, as they were performing under their modified terms.

Modifications
OFG offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Concessions made to the original contractual terms of the loan typically consists of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to deterioration in the borrowers’ financial condition. In these cases, the principal balance on the TDR had matured and/or was in default at the time of restructure. The amount of outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to commercial borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs amounted to $2.3 million and $3.7 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The following table presents the troubled-debt restructurings in all loan portfolios as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

TDRs disclosed above were not related to Covid-19 modifications. Section 4013 of CARES Act and the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)" provided banks an option to elect to not account for certain loan modifications related to Covid-19 as TDRs as long as the borrowers were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and at the time of implementation of the modification program, and the borrowers meet other applicable criteria. At September 30, 2022, there were $4.6 million (December 31, 2021 - $28.0 million) of loans deferred from the Covid-19 pandemic that were not classified as a TDR, which consists of FHA and VA insured mortgage loans.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, TDR mortgage loans include $42.5 million and $40.8 million, respectively, of government-guaranteed loans (e.g. FHA/VA).
Upon adoption of CECL, OFG elected to maintain pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and will continue to account for these pools as a unit of account. As such, PCD loans are not included in the TDR tables.
Loan modifications that are considered TDR loans completed during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the recorded investment on residential mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure amounted to $14.3 million and $16.9 million, respectively. OFG commences the foreclosure process on residential real estate loans when a borrower becomes 120 days delinquent. Puerto Rico and the USVI require the foreclosure to be processed through the respective territory’s courts. Foreclosure timelines vary according to local law and investor guidelines. Occasionally, foreclosures may be delayed due to, among other reasons, mandatory mediation, bankruptcy, court delays and title issues.
As a result of the effects of Hurricane Fiona and Puerto Rico being declared a disaster zone by local and federal authorities, OFG granted loan payment accommodations to certain qualified borrowers in order to provide them with flexibility to address the hurricane’s immediate impact. At September 30, 2022, the process of analyzing moratorium requests by OFG was still ongoing.

Credit Quality Indicators
OFG categorizes its loans into loan grades based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debts, such as economic conditions, portfolio risk characteristics, prior loss experience, and the results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans.
OFG uses the following definitions for loan grades:
Pass: Loans classified as “pass” have a well-defined primary source of repayment very likely to be sufficient, with no apparent risk, strong financial position, minimal operating risk, profitability, liquidity and capitalization better than industry standards.
Special Mention: Loans classified as “special mention” have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: Loans classified as “substandard” are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, questionable and improbable.
Loss: Loans classified as “loss” are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the process described above are considered to be pass loans.

NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
On January 1, 2020, OFG adopted the new accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets.
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio as well as an economic outlook over the life of the loan. Also included in the ACL are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in OFG’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. In its loss forecasting framework, OFG incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the amount of weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, views of internal as well as third-party economists and industry trends.
At September 30, 2022, OFG used an economic probability weighted scenario approach consisting of the baseline and moderate recession scenarios, giving more weight to the baseline scenario, except for the US loan segment that used the same level of probability in both economic scenarios. In addition, the ACL at September 30, 2022 continues to include qualitative reserves for certain segments that OFG views as higher risk that may not be fully recognized through its quantitative models, such as the evolution of risk ratings applied to the commercial loans and consumer retail portfolios. There are still many unknown variables including the results of the government fiscal and monetary actions resulting from the effect of inflation and geopolitical tension from the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Qualitative reserves for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 also includes $6.9 million for anticipated Hurricane Fiona-related losses.
As of September 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses decreased by $775 thousand when compared to December 31, 2021. The provision for credit losses for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2022 reflected a provision of $16.7 million related to the growth in loan balances, a provision of $8.9 million related to commercial-specific loan reserves due to certain commercial loans placed in non-accrual status, offset by a $8.6 million release associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market, net of the $6.9 million provision for anticipated Hurricane Fiona-related losses, and a $1.6 million release for changes in the economic and loss rate models and other miscellaneous reserves.
The net charge-offs for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2022, amounted to $16.5 million, a decrease of $806 thousand compared to the same period of 2021. The decrease is mainly due to a reduction of $7.2 million in mortgage loans, offset by increases of $4.4 million in auto loans and leases, $1.4 million in commercial loans and a $593 thousand in consumer loans.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The sensitivity of the current fair value of servicing assets to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes in the above key assumptions were as follows:

| September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |

Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change | $ | (4,320) | | | $ | (4,183) | |
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption.
Changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or offset the sensitivities. Mortgage banking activities, a component of total banking and financial service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the mortgage loan servicing rights, which may result from changes in the valuation model inputs or assumptions (principally reflecting changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) and other changes, including changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows.
Servicing fee income is based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and is recorded as income when earned. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $5.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $15.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively.
NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVES
OFG’s overall interest rate risk-management strategy incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. Derivative instruments that are used as part of OFG’s interest rate risk-management strategy include interest rate swaps and caps.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amount of derivative contracts outstanding was $27.1 million and $28.5 million respectively. The gross fair value of derivative asset was $438 thousand and $1 thousand, respectively, and the gross fair value of derivatives liabilities was $28 thousand and $804 thousand, respectively. The impact of master netting agreements was not material. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, derivative and hedging activities were not material.

NOTE 10 — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had $86.1 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the banking segment and $2.0 million to the wealth management segment (refer to Note 24 – Business Segments for the definition of OFG’s reportable business segments). There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Relevant events and circumstances for evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting segment is less than its carrying amount may include macroeconomic conditions (such as deterioration of the Puerto Rico economy or the liquidity for Puerto Rico securities or loans secured by assets in Puerto Rico), adverse changes in legal factors or in the business climate, adverse actions by a regulator, unanticipated competition, the loss of key employees, natural disasters, or similar events.
OFG performed its annual impairment review of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2021 using October 31, 2021 as the annual evaluation date and concluded that there was no impairment at December 31, 2021. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, OFG performed an assessment of events or circumstances that could trigger reductions in the book value of the goodwill. Based on this assessment, no impairments were identified at September 30, 2022.

Subordinated Capital Notes
In August 2003, the Statutory Trust II, a special purpose entity of OFG, was formed for the purpose of issuing trust redeemable preferred securities. In September 2003, $35.0 million of trust redeemable preferred securities were issued by the Statutory Trust II as part of a pooled underwriting transaction. The proceeds from this issuance were used by the Statutory Trust II to purchase a like amount of a floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debenture issued by OFG with a par value of $36.1 million.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG redeemed of all outstanding $36.1 million subordinated capital notes before maturity, and as a result, it wrote off $405 thousand in unamortized issuance costs, included as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. OFG also recorded a gain on early debt extinguishment of $42 thousand included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Prior to redemption, such subordinated capital notes carried an interest rate of 3.23% based on 3-month LIBOR plus 295 basis points and were schedule to mature on September 17, 2033. Following the redemption of the subordinated capital notes, the Statutory Trust II was dissolved.
At December 31, 2021, the $35.0 million trust redeemable preferred securities were treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

NOTE 14 — INCOME TAXES
Oriental is subject to the provisions of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “PR Code”). The PR Code imposes a maximum statutory corporate tax rate of 37.5%. OFG has operations in the U.S. through its wholly owned subsidiaries OPC, OFG Ventures, and OFG USA LLC (“OFG USA”), which is a direct subsidiary of the Bank, and has two branches in the USVI. The United States subsidiaries are subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level, while the USVI branches are subject to federal income taxes under a mirror system and a 10% surtax included in the maximum tax rate. OPC is subject to Florida state taxes, OFG USA is subject to North Carolina state taxes, and current investments in OFG Ventures are subject to state taxes in Missouri. In addition, during 2021, OFG incorporated in Grand Cayman, as a foreign wholly owned subsidiary, OFG Reinsurance. OFG Reinsurance is tax exempt in Grand Cayman.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG’s net deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance of $10.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively, amounted to $66.1 million and $99.1 million, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance of $322 thousand was mainly related to OFG’s operations at the holding company level. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the assessment of positive and negative evidence, the level of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax asset are deductible, and provisions of certain closing agreements, management believes it is more likely than not that OFG will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at September 30, 2022. The amount of the deferred tax asset that is considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if there are changes in estimates of future taxable income.
OFG maintained an effective tax rate (“ETR”) lower than the statutory rate for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of 31.9% and 32.0%, respectively; mainly related to an increase in US Treasury securities and other exempt investments and a discrete tax windfall on stock options recognized during the period. The expected ETR for 2022 is 32.3%.
OFG classifies unrecognized tax benefits in other liabilities. These gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the ETR if realized. At September 30, 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $849 thousand (December 31, 2021 - $798 thousand).
Income tax expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $20.6 million and $19.6 million, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $56.1 million and $53.1 million, respectively.
NOTE 15 — REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Regulatory Capital Requirements
OFG (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and Puerto Rico banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on OFG’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, OFG and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

NOTE 16 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock and Common Stock
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, OFG redeemed all of its outstanding $92.0 million (in the aggregate) Series A, Series B, and Series D preferred stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share. As a result of such redemptions, OFG no longer has any outstanding preferred stock. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, common stock amounted to $59.9 million.
Additional Paid-in Capital
Additional paid-in capital represents contributed capital in excess of par value of common stock, net of the costs of issuance. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accumulated common stock issuance costs charged against additional paid-in capital amounted to $13.6 million.
Legal Surplus
The Puerto Rico Banking Act requires that a minimum of 10% of the Bank’s net income for the year be transferred to a reserve fund until such fund (legal surplus) equals the total paid-in capital on common and preferred stock. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank’s legal surplus amounted to $129.4 million and $117.7 million, respectively. The amount transferred to the legal surplus account is not available for the payment of dividends to shareholders.
Treasury Stock
In January 2022, OFG announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The shares of common stock repurchased are held by OFG as treasury shares. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, OFG repurchased 2,351,868 shares for a total of $64.1 million at an average price of $27.26 per share. OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, OFG repurchased 1,684,921 shares under the $50.0 million repurchase program approved at that time for a total of $40.2 million, at an average price of $23.83 per share.
At September 30, 2022 the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $100 million program is estimated at 1,428,166 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $35.9 million by $25.13 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at September 30, 2022).

For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, OFG did not have weighted-average stock options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, weighted-average stock options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share not included in the calculation amounted to 1,070 and 3,075, respectively.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, OFG increased its quarterly common stock cash dividend to $0.20 per share.
NOTE 19 – GUARANTEES
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amount of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $25.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively.
OFG has a liability for residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse pursuant to GNMA’s and FNMA’s residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $113.4 million and $121.8 million, respectively.
The following table shows the changes in OFG’s liability for estimated losses from these credit recourse agreements, included in the consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Balance at end of period | $ | 168 | | | $ | 291 | | $ | 168 | | | $ | 291 | | | |
The estimated losses to be absorbed under the credit recourse arrangements were recorded as a liability when the credit recourse was assumed and are updated on a quarterly basis. The expected loss, which represents the amount expected to be lost on a given loan, considers the probability of default and loss severity. The probability of default represents the probability that a loan in good standing would become 120 days delinquent, in which case OFG is obligated to repurchase the loan.
If a borrower defaults, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, OFG is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third-party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum potential amount of future payments that OFG would be required to make under the recourse arrangements is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, OFG repurchased $119 thousand and $517 thousand, respectively, in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions referred above. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, OFG repurchased $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in such mortgage loans. If a borrower defaults, OFG has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. OFG suffers losses on these mortgage loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the collateral property are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan, any uncollected interest advanced, and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At September 30, 2022, OFG’s liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $168 thousand (December 31, 2021– $294 thousand).
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
When OFG sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. OFG’s mortgage operations division groups conforming mortgage loans into pools which are exchanged for FNMA and GNMA mortgage-backed securities, which are generally sold to private investors, or are sold directly to FNMA or other private investors for cash. As required under such mortgage-backed securities programs, quality review procedures are performed by OFG to ensure that asset guideline qualifications are met. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, OFG may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, OFG repurchased $5.0 million (September 30, 2021 – $8.8 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions referred above. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, Oriental repurchased $20.3 million (September 30, 2021 – $31.4 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to such credit recourse provision. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had a $1.6 million and a $3.4 million liability, respectively, for the estimated credit losses related to these loans.
During the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, OFG recognized $6 thousand in gains and $85 thousand in losses, net of reserves, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $210 thousand and $728 thousand in losses, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Oriental recognized $127 thousand in gains and $153 thousand in losses, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $261 thousand and $3.5 million, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties.
At September 30, 2022, OFG serviced $5.8 billion (December 31, 2021 - $5.7 billion) in mortgage loans for third parties. Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed securities programs of FNMA and GNMA, and to mortgage loans sold or serviced to certain other investors, including the FHLMC, require OFG to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. OFG generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from the mortgage owner, from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage loan is foreclosed or, in the case of FHA/VA loans, under the applicable FHA and VA insurance and guarantees programs. However, in the meantime, OFG must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. OFG must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the foreclosure proceedings and OFG would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by OFG under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $10.4 million (December 31, 2021 - $12.9 million). To the extent the mortgage loans underlying OFG’s servicing portfolio experience increased delinquencies, OFG would be required to dedicate additional cash resources to comply with its obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional administrative costs related to increases in collection efforts.
NOTE 20— COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
In the normal course of business, OFG becomes a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of OFG’s involvement in particular types of financial instruments.
OFG’s exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amounts of those instruments, which do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. In addition, the measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are identified. OFG uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Credit-related financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, | | December 31, |
| 2022 | | 2021 |
| (In thousands) |
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 1,369,459 | | | $ | 1,365,273 | |
Commercial letters of credit | 2,599 | | | 48,196 | |
Commitments to extend credit represent agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. OFG evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by OFG upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, commitments to extend credit consisted mainly of undisbursed available amounts on commercial lines of credit, construction loans, and revolving credit card arrangements. Since many of the unused commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used, the total amount of these unused commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Commercial letters of credit are issued or confirmed to guarantee payment of customers’ payables or receivables in short-term international trade transactions. Generally, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended. However, the short-term nature of this instrument serves to mitigate the risk associated with these contracts.
The summary of instruments that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to guarantor’s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, | | December 31, |
| 2022 | | 2021 |
| (In thousands) |
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees | $ | 25,670 | | | $ | 25,203 | |
Loans sold with recourse | 113,444 | | | 121,778 | |
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are written conditional commitments issued by OFG to guarantee the payment and/or performance of a customer to a third party (“beneficiary”). If the customer fails to comply with the agreement, the beneficiary may draw on the standby letter of credit or financial guarantee as a remedy. The amount of credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit in the event of non-performance is the face amount of the letter of credit or financial guarantee. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by OFG upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures corresponding to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit amounted to $632 thousand and $1.0 million, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the statement of financial condition.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $21.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively, primarily for the acquisition of equity securities. In addition, as we continue to transform OFG with a focus on simplification and building a culture of excellence and customer service, we continue to invest in technology. Some of our technology investments are table stakes and required to continuously upgrade our systems. Others require us to focus our technology on investments that drive our strategy, namely digital, data analytics, cloud migration, cyber security, and our sales and service capabilities. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $7.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively.

Contingencies
OFG and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. In the ordinary course of business, OFG and its subsidiaries are also subject to governmental and regulatory examinations. Certain subsidiaries of OFG, including the Bank (and its subsidiary, Oriental International Bank Inc. (“OIB”), Oriental Financial Services, and Oriental Insurance, are subject to regulation by various U.S., Puerto Rico and other regulators.
OFG seeks to resolve all arbitration, litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interests of OFG and its shareholders, and contests allegations of liability or wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, OFG establishes an accrued liability when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a matter develops, OFG, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, OFG will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this accrued liability amounted to $3.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. OFG continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.
Subject to the accounting and disclosure framework under the provisions of ASC 450, it is the opinion of OFG’s management, based on current knowledge and after taking into account its current legal accruals, that the eventual outcome of all matters would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated statements of financial condition of OFG. Nonetheless, given the substantial or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on OFG’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. OFG has evaluated all arbitration, litigation and regulatory matters where the likelihood of a potential loss is deemed reasonably possible. OFG has determined that the estimate of the reasonably possible loss is not significant.

NOTE 22 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
OFG follows the fair value measurement framework under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value measurement framework defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This framework also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Money market investments
The fair value of money market investments is based on the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as these are reasonable estimates of fair value given the short-term nature of the instruments.
Investment securities
The fair value of investment securities is based on valuations obtained from an independent pricing provider, ICE Data Pricing (formerly known as IDC). ICE is a well-recognized pricing company and an established leader in financial information. Such securities are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 depending on the basis for determining fair value. OFG holds one security categorized as other debt that is classified as Level 3. The estimated fair value of this security is determined by using an adjusted third-party model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The assumptions are highly uncertain and include primarily market discount rates and current spread. The assumptions used are drawn from similar securities that are actively traded in the market and have similar risk characteristics. The valuation is performed on a quarterly basis.
Derivative instruments
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is largely a function of the financial market’s expectations regarding the future direction of interest rates. Accordingly, current market values are not necessarily indicative of the future impact of derivative instruments on earnings. This will depend, for the most part, on the shape of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, as well as the expectations for rates in the future. The fair value of most of these derivative instruments is based on observable market parameters, which include discounting the instruments’ cash flows using the U.S. dollar LIBOR-based discount rates (or its fallback benchmark when applicable), and also applying yield curves that account for the industry sector and the credit rating of the counterparty and/or OFG. Certain other derivative instruments with limited market activity are valued using externally developed models that consider unobservable market parameters. Based on their valuation methodology, derivative instruments are classified as Level 2.
Servicing assets
Servicing assets do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Servicing assets are priced using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation model considers servicing fees, portfolio characteristics, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, cost to service and other economic factors. Due to the unobservable nature of certain valuation inputs, the servicing rights are classified as Level 3.
Foreclosed real estate
Foreclosed real estate includes real estate properties securing residential mortgage and commercial loans. The fair value of foreclosed real estate may be determined using an external appraisal, broker price opinion or an internal valuation. These foreclosed assets are classified as Level 3 given certain internal adjustments that may be made to external appraisals.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Other repossessed assets
Other repossessed assets is mainly composed of repossessed automobiles. The fair value of the repossessed automobiles may be determined using internal valuation and an external appraisal. These repossessed assets are classified as Level 3 given certain internal adjustments that may be made to external appraisals.

Information about Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
Other debt security available for sale – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of one of OFG’s other debt securities is a discounted cash flow methodology (“DCF”). DCF is a valuation method that uses the concept of the time value of money. The methodology used the future cash flows discounted through a yield to obtain a net present value. Assumptions applied in the model are obtained from Moody’s Default Trends.
Servicing assets – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of OFG’s servicing assets are constant prepayment rates and discount rates. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or offset the sensitivities. Mortgage banking activities, a component of total banking and financial service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the mortgage loan servicing rights, which may result from changes in the valuation model inputs or assumptions (principally reflecting changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) and other changes, including changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The information about the estimated fair value of financial instruments required by GAAP is presented hereunder. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of OFG.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The estimated fair value is subjective in nature, involves uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect these fair value estimates. The fair value estimates do not take into consideration the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments. Other significant tangible and intangible assets that are not considered financial instruments are the value of long-term customer relationships of retail deposits, and premises and equipment.
The estimated fair value and carrying value of OFG’s financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of significant financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
•Cash and cash equivalents (including money market investments and time deposits with other banks), restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, accounts receivable and other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other borrowings have been valued at the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as these are reasonable estimates of fair value given the short-term nature of the instruments.
•Investments in FHLB stock are valued at their redemption value.
•The fair value of investment securities, including trading securities, is based on quoted market prices, when available or prices provided from contracted pricing providers, or market prices provided by recognized broker-dealers. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon externally developed models that use both observable and unobservable inputs depending on the market activity of the instrument. Equity securities do not have readily available fair values and are measured at cost, less any impairment. The estimated fair value of the convertible note is determined by using an adjusted third-party cash flow valuation model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The assumptions used which are highly uncertain and require a high degree of judgment, include primarily market discount rates, current spreads, duration, leverage, default, and loss rates. The assumptions used are drawn from a wide array of data sources, including the performance of the collateral underlying each deal. The valuation, which is obtained at least on a quarterly basis, is analyzed and its assumptions are evaluated and incorporated in either an internal-based valuation model, when deemed necessary, or compared to counterparties’ prices and agreed by management.
•The fair value of servicing asset is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions.
•The fair values of the derivative instruments, which include interest rate swaps and forward-settlement swaps, are based on the net discounted value of the contractual projected cash flows of both the pay-fixed receive-variable legs of the contracts. The projected cash flows are based on the forward yield curve and discounted using current estimated market rates.
•The fair value of the loan portfolio (including loans held-for-sale and non-performing loans) is based on the exit market price, which is estimated by segregating by type, such as mortgage, commercial, consumer, auto and leasing. Each loan segment is further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rates. The fair value is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows, adjusted for prepayment estimates (voluntary and involuntary), if any, using estimated current market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.
•The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows, using estimated current market discount rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
•The fair value of long-term borrowings, which include advances from FHLB and subordinated capital notes is based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows using current estimated market discount rates for borrowings with similar terms, remaining maturities and put dates.

OFG recognizes the revenue from banking services, wealth management and mortgage banking based on the nature and timing of revenue streams from contracts with customers:
Banking Service Revenues
Service charges on checking and saving accounts as consumer periodic maintenance revenue is recognized once the service is rendered, while overdraft and late charges revenue are recorded after the contracted service has been provided.
Electronic banking fees are credit and debit card processing services, use of the Bank’s ATMs by non-customers, debit card interchange income and service charges on deposit accounts. Revenue is recorded once the contracted service has been provided.
Other income as credit life and branch service commissions, servicing and other loan fees, international fees, and miscellaneous income recognized as banking services revenue are out of the scope of ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Wealth Management Revenue
Insurance income from commissions and sale of annuities are recorded once the sale has been completed.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Brokers fees consist of two categories:
•Sales commissions generated by advisors for their clients’ purchases and sales of securities and other investment products, which are collected once the stand-alone transactions are completed at trade date or as earned, and managed account fees which are fees charged to advisors’ clients’ accounts on OFG’s corporate advisory platform. These revenues do not cover future services, as a result there is no need to allocate the amount received to any other service.
•Fees for providing distribution services related to mutual funds, net of compensation paid to a service provider who provides such services, as well as trailer fees (also known as 12b-1 fees). These fees are considered variable and are recognized over time, as the uncertainty of the fees to be received is resolved as the net asset value of the mutual fund is determined and investor activity occurs. Fees do not cover future services, as a result there is no need to allocate the amount received to any other service.
Trust fees are revenues related to fiduciary services provided to 401K retirement plans, an IRA trust, and retirement plans, which include investment management, payment of distributions, if any, safekeeping, custodial services of plan assets, servicing of Trust officers, on-going due diligence of the Trust, recordkeeping of transactions, and investment advisory services provided to a registered investment company. Fees are billed based on services contracted. Negotiated fees are detailed in the contract. Fees collected in advance, are amortized over the term of the contract. Fees are collected on a monthly basis once the administrative service has been completed. Monthly fee does not include future services.
Retirement plan and administration fees are revenues related to the payment received from the clients of OPC for assistance with the planning, design and administration of retirement plans, acting as third-party administrator for such plans, and daily record keeping services of retirement plans. Fees are collected once the stand-alone transaction was completed at trade date. Fees do not cover future services, as a result there is no need to allocate the amount received to any other service.
Mortgage Banking Activities
Mortgage banking activities as servicing fees, gain on sale of mortgage loans and valuation, and other are out of the scope of ASC 606.
NOTE 24 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
OFG segregates its businesses into the following major reportable segments of business: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury. Management established the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. Other factors such as OFG’s organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of the products were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. OFG measures the performance of these reportable segments based on pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income, net interest income, loan production, and fees generated. OFG’s methodology for allocating non-interest expenses among segments is based on several factors such as revenue, employee headcount, occupied space, dedicated services or time, among others. These factors are reviewed on a periodical basis and may change if the conditions warrant.
Banking includes the Bank’s branches and traditional banking products such as deposits and commercial, consumer, auto and mortgage loans. Mortgage banking activities are carried out by the Bank’s mortgage banking division, whose principal activity is to originate mortgage loans for OFG’s own portfolio. As part of its mortgage banking activities, OFG may sell loans directly into the secondary market or securitize conforming loans into mortgage-backed securities.
Wealth Management is comprised of the Bank’s trust division, Oriental Financial Services, Oriental Insurance, OFG Reinsurance and OPC. The core operations of this segment are financial planning, money management and investment banking, securities brokerage services, investment advisory services, insurance, corporate and individual trust and retirement services, as well as retirement plan administration services.
The Treasury segment encompasses all of OFG’s asset/liability management activities, such as purchases and sales of investment securities, interest rate risk management, derivatives, and borrowings. Intersegment sales and transfers, if any, are accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

Please read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item I, “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors,” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), as supplemented and amended by any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. We have omitted discussion of 2020 results where it would be redundant to the discussion previously included in Item 2 of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Other factors not identified above, including those described under the headings in our 2021 Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q may also cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements.
INTRODUCTION
OFG is a publicly-owned financial holding company that provides wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer, auto, and mortgage lending, financial planning, insurance sales, money management, investment banking and securities brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. OFG operates through three major business segments: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury, and distinguishes itself based on quality service. OFG conducts its business through its main office in San Juan, Puerto Rico, forty-three branches in Puerto Rico and two branches in the U.S. Virgin Islands (the “USVI”). OFG has three subsidiaries with operations in Puerto Rico: the Bank, Oriental Financial Services and Oriental Insurance; three subsidiaries in the United States, OPC, OFG USA and OFG Ventures; and one subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, OFG Reinsurance. OFG’s long-term goal is to strengthen its banking and financial services franchise by expanding its lending businesses, increasing the level of integration in the marketing and delivery of banking and financial services, continuously improving our already effective asset-liability management, growing non-interest revenue from banking and financial services, and achieving greater operating efficiencies.
OFG’s diversified mix of businesses and products generates both the interest income traditionally associated with a banking institution and non-interest income traditionally associated with a financial services institution (generated by such businesses as securities brokerage, fiduciary services, investment banking, insurance agency, reinsurance and retirement plan administration). Although all of these businesses, to varying degrees, are affected by interest rate and financial market fluctuations and other external factors, OFG’s commitment is to continue producing a balanced and growing revenue stream.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Natural Events
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, OFG was impacted by the effects of Hurricane Fiona. It caused power outages, widespread flooding, water and communication services interruptions, property damage in some areas of the island, and disrupted economic activity throughout Puerto Rico. Although OFG’s business operations were temporarily disrupted by the damages to Puerto Rico’s critical infrastructure, OFG’s digital channels, core banking and electronic funds transfer systems continued to function uninterrupted during and after the hurricane, and within days after the hurricane, OFG was able to open its main offices and many of its branches and ATMs in addition to its digital and phone trade channels. After the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we believe that business activity has begun to return to pre-hurricane Fiona levels.
Banking service revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were impacted due to Hurricane Fiona’s temporary effect on economic activity and OFG’s decision to provide relief to our clients by waiving late charges and other fees through September 30, 2022. OFG incurred $1.4 million in expenses related to this event. Also, based on current assessments of information available for the impact of the hurricane on our credit portfolio, third quarter 2022 results included higher qualitative reserves mainly from $6.9 million in loan loss provision, pre-tax. As OFG acquires additional
information on overall economic prospects in the affected areas, together with further assessments of the impact on individual borrowers, the loss estimate will be further revised as needed.
Capital Actions
In January 2022, OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved the increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.15 per common share from $0.12 per share, beginning on the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Subsequently, in July 2022, OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved a new increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.20 per common share, beginning on the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
In January 2022, the Board of Directors also approved a new stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of its common stock in the open market. At September 30, 2022, OFG has repurchased 2.4 million shares of common stock for $64.1 million. OFG expects to continue to execute this repurchase program to the extent favorable market opportunities exist at the relevant point in time.
Economic Conditions
Since March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected our communities and the way we do business, as well as economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Within the last year, as restrictions related to the pandemic eased in the United States, employment increased and pent-up demand was released, which together with Covid-19 lockdowns in foreign jurisdictions created global supply chain issues and shortages of goods, which in turn has triggered price inflation. In an effort to address inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) has tightened monetary policy and has increased the federal funds rate six times during fiscal year 2022, with the latest increases of 75 basis points each made on June 15, 2022, July 27, 2022, September 21, 2022 and November 2, 2022. The current federal funds target rate range is 3.75% to 4.00% but FRB officials forecast the federal funds target rate will end 2022 at a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The FRB has also scaled back its asset purchase program that provided liquidity to the bond markets.
Adding to economic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures are military actions taken by Russia against Ukraine commencing in February 2022, which have added stress to existing supply chain concerns and placed upward pressure on commodities such as oil and natural gas prices, which have further exacerbated the global macroeconomic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures. However, we believe that the macroeconomic outlook for Puerto Rico continues to show strength, even with the effects of Hurricane Fiona. Recent data show that the Puerto Rico Economic Activity Index, as published by the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico, has been increasing for over a year; therefore, signaling a stable upward trend as employment gains remain solid. Our commercial clients are experiencing a higher demand for their products and services. Consumer demand also remains strong and, following five years of bankruptcy proceedings under Title III of PROMESA, the Puerto Rico central government has begun to implement the plan of adjustment approved by the Title III bankruptcy court on January 18, 2022, setting the stage for its exit from bankruptcy. Nevertheless, there remain several public instrumentalities whose debt obligations have not been restructured under the mechanisms provided by PROMESA and any recovery of the Puerto Rico economy could be adversely impacted by macroeconomic developments within the United States and across the globe. The global macroeconomic outlook continues to remain uncertain and, at this time, OFG cannot reasonably estimate the scope, term or intensity of any possible adverse impact on our financial position, operations or liquidity, resulting from economic disruption and uncertainty related to Covid-19 variants, economic recessions, trade and supply chain disruption, continuing inflationary pressures, labor shortages, armed conflicts such as the ongoing military actions against Ukraine, and the uncertainty of the timing and extent of potential actions that might be taken by the FRB. However, we believe that the high levels of reconstruction and stimulus funds being channeled towards the Puerto Rico economy are mitigating the foregoing negative effects.
LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates
In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that the FCA intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021.However, the administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings until June 30, 2023 and has ceased publishing other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021.
Although OFG believes that its exposure to LIBOR is not material, as it represents only 3.7% of total assets, LIBOR-based contracts that will be impacted by the cessation of LIBOR have been under review to ensure they contain adequate fallback language. OFG has also been proactively working to transition to alternative reference rates (“ARR”) and/or fallback language in both existing as well as new contracts to prepare for the cessation of LIBOR. Furthermore, management has established a LIBOR transition team to lead OFG in the execution of its project plan and is monitoring the development
and adoption of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) alternatives as well as other credit sensitive ARR and their liquidity in the market. OFG is also working towards business and system readiness to originate SOFR based loans.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We provide a summary of our significant accounting policies in “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our 2021 Form 10-K.
In the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of our 2021 Form 10-K, we identified the Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans collectively evaluated for impairment as a critical accounting policy and estimate, because it involves significant estimation uncertainty that has or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. There have been no material changes in the methods used to formulate these critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, OFG had its strongest quarter to date this fiscal year, driven by total core revenue growth of 7.2% quarter-over-quarter. All our key performance metrics improved compared to the second quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2021, with return on average assets of 1.65%, return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity of 18.05%, and an efficiency ratio of 55.80%.
Earnings per share diluted was $0.87 compared to $0.84 in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.81 in the third quarter of 2021. Total core revenues were $156.8 million compared to $146.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $134.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. The regular quarterly cash dividend was increased to $0.20 per common share in the third quarter of 2022 from $0.15 in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.12 in the third quarter of 2021.
Net interest income of $126.5 million compared to $115.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $102.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. Net interest margin expanded to 5.23% from 4.80% in the second quarter of 2022 due to increased volume of loans and investments and FRB rate hikes.
Interest income of $134.7 million compared to $122.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $112.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, the third quarter of 2022 interest income benefited from higher yields on higher average balances of loans and of investment securities, and higher average yields on lower cash balances.
Total interest expense of $8.2 million compared to $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, the third quarter of 2022 interest expense primarily reflected a 4 basis point cost increase.
Non-interest income of $30.6 million compared to $36.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, the third quarter of 2022 banking service revenues declined $0.9 million due to Hurricane Fiona’s effect on economic activity and OFG’s decision to provide fee waivers to customers following the hurricane. The second quarter of 2022 included a $4.7 million gain on sale of a legacy branch building.
Net revenues before provision for credit losses were $69.6 million compared to $66.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $56.3 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Provision for credit losses of $7.1 million compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 and a recapture of $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. The third quarter of 2022 non-PCD provision included $8.0 million for higher auto and consumer loan balances and a $1.3 million increase in qualitative adjustment, including anticipated Fiona-related losses. The third quarter of 2022 PCD recapture of $2.8 million was due to reduced balances and improved performance of residential mortgage loans.
Net charge offs were $11.3 million compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. The third quarter of 2022 charge-offs included $6.6 million, of which $5.5 million was previously reserved for two commercial loans, and $5.5 million related to auto and consumer loans.
Non-interest expenses were $87.5 million compared to $85.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $78.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. The third quarter of 2022 included $1.4 million of Hurricane Fiona related expenses and $0.6 million of expenses for real estate owned versus $1.4 million in income for the second quarter of 2022.
Loans held for investment were $6.68 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $6.70 billion at June 30, 2022 and $6.41 billion at September 30, 2021. Loans declined 0.3% or $17.7 million from June 30, 2022, reflecting paydowns of residential mortgages and seasonal commercial lines of credit as well as PPP loan forgiveness, mostly offset by increases in auto and consumer loans. Year over year, loans increased 4.3% or $274.1 million.
New loan origination was $511.3 million compared to $587.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $556.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The third quarter of 2022 included a record level of auto loan originations at $219.9 million.
Total investments of $2.04 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $1.73 billion at June 30, 2022 and $902.3 million at September 30, 2021. Investments grew $315.3 million from June 30, 2022, as OFG purchased $410.0 million in short-term US Treasury securities, taking advantage of the higher yield environment.
Customer deposits of $8.84 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $9.02 billion at June 30, 2022 and $9.23 billion at September 30, 2021. Core deposits declined by $174.4 million from June 30, 2022.
Total assets of $10.06 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $10.25 billion at June 30, 2022 and $10.61 billion at September 30, 2021.
CET1 ratio at September 30, 2022 was 13.38% compared to 12.80% at June 30, 2022 and 13.52% at September 30, 2021. Tangible book value per share was $18.46 at September 30, 2022 compared to $18.86 at June 30, 2022 and $18.59 at September 30, 2021. The decline from June 30, 2022 reflected a reduction in other comprehensive income, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is a function of the difference between rates earned on OFG’s interest-earning assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread) and the relative amounts of its interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate margin). OFG constantly monitors the composition and re-pricing of its assets and liabilities to maintain its net interest income at adequate levels.
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Net interest income of $126.5 million increased $23.8 million from $102.7 million. Tax equivalent basis net interest income of $130.5 million increased $25.4 million, or 24.1%, from $105.1 million.
Interest rate spread increased 112 basis points to 5.21% from 4.09% and net interest margin increased 111 basis points to 5.23% from 4.12%. This increase reflects an increase of 107 basis points in the total average yield of interest-earning assets and a reduction in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 5 basis points. Net interest income was positively impacted by:
•An increase of $9.6 million in interest income from investments securities related to purchases of agency securities during 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, OFG effectively redeployed $410 million dollars of cash to purchase short-term US Treasury securities as part of its strategy of taking advantage of the higher yield environment;
•An increase of $8.3 million in interest income from loans driven by growth of the loan portfolio at a higher yield;
•An increase of $4.7 million in interest income from higher yield in lower balances of interest bearing cash and money market investments related to the increase in federal fund rates. The FRB target rates increased from a range of 0% to 0.25% in the third quarter of 2021 to a range of 3.00% to 3.25% for the third quarter of 2022; and
•Lower interest expense by $1.3 million, driven by both lower average balance and a reduced cost of total deposits and borrowings, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of approximately $869 thousand and $400 thousand, respectively.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Net interest income of $346.8 million increased $43.6 million from $303.2 million. Tax equivalent basis net interest income of $356.2 million increased $46.2 million, or 14.91%, from $310.0 million.
Interest rate spread increased 66 basis points to 4.82% from 4.16% and net interest margin increased 64 basis points to 4.84% from 4.20%. This increase reflects an increase of 50 basis points in the total average yield of interest-earning assets and a reduction in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 16 basis points.
Net interest income was positively impacted by:
•A $17.0 million increase in interest income resulting from an increase in higher yielding investment securities during 2022;
•Lower interest expense by $10.4 million, reflecting both a reduced cost and lower average balances of total deposits and borrowings, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of approximately $7.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively;
•A $9.0 million increase in interest income from loans driven by increased yields on new loans originated during the period and upward repricing of variable rate commercial loans; and
•A $7.3 million increase in interest income from higher yield in lower balances of interest bearing cash and money market related to the increase in federal fund rates during 2022.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income is affected by fees generated from loans and deposit accounts, the amount of assets under management of the Bank’s trust department, transactions generated by clients’ financial assets serviced by OFG’s securities broker-dealer, insurance agency and reinsurance subsidiaries, the level of mortgage banking activities, and gains on sales of assets.
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
OFG recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $30.6 million, compared to $32.5 million, a decrease of 5.8%, or $1.9 million. The decrease in non-interest income was mainly due to:
•A $1.3 million decrease in mortgage banking activities due to lower net gain on sales of loans by $1.9 million from lower sales volume, as higher interest rates have affected home sales; and
•A $1.0 million decrease in banking service revenues, primarily related to a decrease in electronic banking fees associated to Hurricane Fiona’s effect on economic activity and OFG’s decision to provide fee waivers to customers following the hurricane.
The decrease in non-interest income was offset by a $554 thousand increase in wealth management revenues, which includes income from the new reinsurance business of $1.1 million and $339 thousand increase in insurance commissions,
partially offset by a decrease of $398 thousand in trust division fees and $380 thousand in broker-dealer revenues from lower balances in assets under management.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
OFG recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $98.4 million, compared to $95.1 million, an increase of 3.5%, or $3.3 million. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to:
•An increase of $3.1 million in other non-interest income, primarily related to a $4.7 million gain recognized on the sale of a branch building during 2022; and
•An increase of $1.0 million in wealth management revenue, which includes income from the new reinsurance business of $2.9 million, partially offset by decreases of $1.2 million in broker-dealer revenues and $590 thousand in trust division fees from lower balances in assets under management.
The increase in non-interest income was offset by a decrease of $834 thousand in mortgage-banking activities due to lower net gain on sales of $5.8 million, driven by lower sales volume, partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in servicing income, mostly related to higher gains on repurchased loans.

Non-Interest Expenses
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Non-interest expense was $87.5 million, representing an increase of 10.9%, or $8.6 million, compared to $78.9 million. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to:
•Foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets expense of $573 thousand in current quarter compared to $2.2 million income in prior year quarter, reflecting lower gains on sale of foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets by $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, partially offset by a $286 thousand decrease in credit-related expenses. OFG has profited from most of its foreclosed real estate, going forward it is more likely to see modest expenses versus large gains;
•Increase of $1.6 million in information technology expenses, primarily driven by higher cloud computing services and cyber security expenses;
•Increase in compensation and employee benefits of $1.6 million, mainly due to increases in minimum hourly wages, annual salaries and lower deferred loan origination costs;
•Increase in professional and service fees of $1.4 million, reflecting higher compliance related expenses due to greater levels of business activity;
•Increase in climate event expenses of $1.4 million related to expenses incurred by OFG to operate in disaster response mode and provide assistance to employees and the communities it serves after Hurricane Fiona;
•Increase in occupancy, equipment and infrastructure costs of $560 thousand, primarily related to software maintenance and licenses, as part of OFG’s “digital first” model; and
•Increase in electronic banking charges of $350 thousand driven by debit and credit card billing and processing expenses and POS expenses, from higher transactions volume.
The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in claims and settlements accruals from the broker-dealer subsidiary.
The efficiency ratio was 55.80% and improved from 58.59%. The efficiency ratio measures how much of OFG’s revenues is used to pay operating expenses. OFG computes its efficiency ratio by dividing non-interest expenses by the sum of its net interest income and non-interest income, but excluding gains on the sale of investment securities, derivatives gains or losses, other gains and losses, and other income that may be considered volatile in nature. Management believes that the exclusion of those items permits consistent comparability. Amounts presented as part of non-interest income that are excluded from the adjusted efficiency ratio computation for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $322 thousand and $505 thousand, respectively.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Non-interest expense was $253.9 million, representing an increase of 6.1%, or $14.6 million, compared to $239.3 million. The increase in non-interest expenses was mainly due to:
•Increase in compensation and employee benefits of $5.5 million, primarily related to a one-time $1.3 million pandemic employee tax credit in prior year period, and increases in minimum hourly wages and annual salaries in the current period;
•Increase in professional and service fees expenses of $4.3 million, reflecting higher compliance related expenses due to greater levels of business activity;
•Increase in electronic banking charges of $2.3 million mainly due an increase in debit and credit card billing fees, ATM-related expenses and merchant fees due to higher transaction volumes; and
•Increase of $2.2 million in information technology expenses driven by higher cloud computing and cyber security expenses;
•Increase in climate event expenses of $1.4 million related to expenses incurred by OFG to operate in disaster response mode and provide assistance to employees and the communities it serves after Hurricane Fiona; and
•Increase of $1.0 million in advertising, business promotion, and strategic initiatives driven by increase marketing campaigns and digital marketing efforts made during the period.
The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by:
•Decrease in taxes, other than payroll and income taxes of $638 thousand reflecting lower property and municipal taxes, as a result of changes in tax law;
•Decrease in claims and settlement accruals of $622 thousand in the broker-dealer subsidiary;
•Higher foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets income of $428 thousand reflecting lower credit-related expenses, partially offset by lower gain on sales of foreclosed other repossessed assets;
•Decrease in occupancy, equipment and infrastructure costs by $319 thousand reflecting lower rent, building maintenance, utilities and other expenses related to branch consolidations; and
•Decrease in expenses relating to printing, postage, stationery and supplies of $282 thousand.
The efficiency ratio was 57.77% and improved from 60.47%. Amounts presented as part of non-interest income that are excluded from the efficiency ratio computation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $5.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Provision for Credit Losses
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Provision for credit losses increased by $12.1 million to $7.1 million from a recapture of $5.0 million. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 includes a provision of $7.6 million due to the growth in loan balances and a provision of $1.0 million associated with qualitative adjustments, which include $6.9 million for anticipated Hurricane Fiona-related losses net of the improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market, partially offset by recaptures of $865 thousand for changes in the economic and loss rate models and other miscellaneous reserves and $639 thousand related to certain commercial-specific loan reserves due to certain commercial loans placed in non-accrual status. The provision for credit losses for the prior-year quarter included $4.3 million net reserve releases, which reflected continued improvement in asset quality trends.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Provision for credit losses decreased by $22.3 million to $15.4 million from a recapture of $7.0 million. The provision for credit losses for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2022 reflected a provision of $16.7 million related to the growth in loan balances, a provision of $8.9 million related to commercial-specific loan reserves due to certain commercial loans placed in non-accrual status, offset by a $8.6 million release associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market, net of the $6.9 million provision for anticipated Hurricane Fiona-related losses, and a $1.6 million release for changes in the economic and loss rate models and other miscellaneous reserves. Prior-year period recapture reflected continued improvement in asset quality trends.
Income Tax Expense
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
OFG’s ETR was 32.9% in 2022 compared to 32.0% in 2021. The increase in ETR was mainly related to lower income at the OIB level, which is fully tax exempt, and at the OFG USA level, which is taxed at lower rate.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
OFG’s ETR was 31.9% in 2022 compared to 32.0% in 2021. The decrease in ETR is related to an increase in US Treasury securities and other exempt investments and a discrete tax windfall on stock options during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Business Segments
OFG segregates its businesses into the following major reportable segments: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury. Management established the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. Other factors such as OFG’s organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of its services were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. OFG measures the performance of these reportable segments based on pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income, net interest income, loan production, and fees generated. OFG’s methodology for allocating non-interest expenses among segments is based on several factors such as revenue, employee headcount, occupied space, dedicated services or time, among others. Following are the results of operations and the selected financial information by operating segment for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Banking
OFG’s banking segment net income before taxes decreased by $13.0 million from $56.8 million to $43.9 million, mainly reflecting:
•Increase in provision for credit losses of $11.9 million. The provision for the current quarter reflected increases due to growth of loan balances and qualitative adjustments from anticipated Hurricane Fiona-related losses net of improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market, partially offset by releases associated with changes in the economic and loss rate models and other miscellaneous reserves and certain commercial-specific loan reserves when placed in non-accrual status. The provision for the prior-year quarter included a release related to improvements in asset quality;
•Decrease of $2.0 million in non-interest income, primarily related to a decrease in mortgage banking activities of $1.3 million due to lower net gain on sales of loans and a $888 thousand decrease in banking service revenues associated to Hurricane Fiona’s effect on economic activity and OFG’s decision to provide fee waivers to customers following the hurricane; and
•Increase in non-interest expenses of $9.6 million, mainly due to: (i) lower gains on sale of foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets by $1.6 and $1.4 million, respectively; (ii) higher information technology expenses by $1.6 million driven by higher cloud and computing services and cybersecurity expenses; (iii) climate event expenses by $1.4 million related to Hurricane Fiona; (iv) higher professional and service fees by $1.2 million from higher compliance related expenses due to greater levels of business activity; and (v) higher compensation and employee benefits by $1.1 million due to increases in minimum hourly wages, annual salaries and lower deferred loan origination costs.
These variances were partially offset by:
•Increase of $8.3 million in interest income from loans, driven by increased yields on higher balances; and
•Lower interest expense of $1.1 million from both, reduced costs and lower average balances of core deposits.
Wealth Management
Wealth management segment revenue consists of commissions and fees from fiduciary activities, securities brokerage, and insurance and reinsurance activities. Net income before taxes from this segment increased by $746 thousand. The increase reflected higher non-interest income of $231 thousand, mainly from $1.1 million fees from the reinsurance business which began operations during the last quarter of 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $467 thousand in revenues from the broker-dealer subsidiary and $397 thousand in trust division fees from lower assets under management.
Treasury
Treasury segment net income before taxes increased by $13.5 million, mainly reflecting an increase in interest income from the purchases of investment securities during the year 2022 and higher yield in lower balances of interest bearing cash and money market investments related to the increase in federal fund rates.
Comparison of nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Banking
OFG’s banking segment net income before taxes decreased by $13.9 million from $151.5 million to $137.6 million, mainly reflecting:
•Increase in provision for credit losses of $21.4 million. The provision for current period reflected increases related to growth in loan balances and commercial-specific loan reserves from commercial loans placed in non-accrual status, offset by releases associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and in Puerto Rico’s labor market, net of estimated Hurricane Fiona losses, and for changes in the economic and loss rate models and other miscellaneous reserves. The provision for the prior-year period included releases related to improvements in asset quality; and
•Increase in non-interest expenses of $14.5 million, mainly due to: (i) a $5.5 million increase in compensation and employee benefits reflecting a one-time $1.3 million pandemic employee tax credit in the prior-year period and increases in minimum hourly wages and annual salaries; (ii) a $3.6 million increase in compliance related professional expenses due to greater levels of business activity; (iii) a $2.3 million increase in electronic banking charges due to higher transaction volume; (iv) a $2.1 million increase in information technology expenses driven by higher cloud computing and cyber security expenses; and (v) climate event expenses of $1.4 million related to Hurricane Fiona. These increases were partially offset by higher foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets income by $428 thousand reflecting lower credit-related expenses, partially offset by lower gain on sales of foreclosed other repossessed assets.
The decreases in the banking segment’s net income were partially offset by:
•Increase of $9.9 million in interest income from loans, driven by increased yields on higher balances;
•Lower interest expense by $10.0 million, mainly related to both, reduced costs and lower average balances of core deposits;
•Increase of $2.2 million in non-interest income primarily related to a $4.7 million gain recognized on the sale of a legacy branch building during the nine-months period ended September 30, 2022.
Wealth Management
Wealth management segment revenue consists of commissions and fees from fiduciary activities, securities brokerage and insurance activities. Net income before taxes from this segment decreased by $15 thousand reflecting an increase in non-interest expenses of $926 thousand, primarily related to higher claims expenses as a result of a $1.2 million reversal from a case settled during the prior year period, and higher intersegment expenses by $220 thousand. The decrease in net income before taxes was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in non-interest income related to $2.9 million income from the new reinsurance business, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in revenues from the broker-dealer subsidiary and $589 thousand in trust division fees from lower assets under management.
Treasury
Treasury segment net income before taxes increased by $23.9 million, mainly reflecting:
•Increase in interest income by $26.4 million, reflecting the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities and US Treasury securities during the current period and higher yield in lower balances of interest bearing cash and money market investments related to the increase in federal fund rates; and
•Decrease in interest expense by $2.6 million reflecting the cancellation of $33.1 million of FHLB advances during 2021 and the early redemption of $36.1 million subordinated capital notes during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets Owned
At September 30, 2022, OFG’s total assets amounted to $10.058 billion, for an increase of $158.5 million, when compared to $9.900 billion at December 31, 2021.
The investment portfolio increased by $1.147 billion, or 128.0%, primarily related to purchases of available for sale agency mortgage-backed securities and US Treasury securities amounting to $719.0 million and $401.7 million, respectively, and held-to-maturity US Treasury securities amounting to $196.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. OFG’s strategy is to invest its liquidity in highly liquid securities and designate them as available for sale or held-to-maturity after taking into account the investment’s characteristics with respect to yield and term and the current market environment.
OFG’s loan portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, commercial loans secured by real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans, and auto loans and leases. At September 30, 2022, OFG’s net loan portfolio increased by $261.7 million, or 4.1%, reflecting increases in auto, commercial and consumer loans, partially offset by $75.1 million PPP loans forgiven by the Small Business Administration and the sale of $21.9 million of past due mortgage loans sold during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Cash and due from banks of $810.3 million decreased by $1.204 billion, reflecting cash used to purchase available for sale agency mortgage-backed securities and US Treasury securities and held-to-maturity US Treasury securities, disbursements for loans originated during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and the redemption of $36.1 million in 3.23% variable rate subordinated notes, partially offset by an increase in commercial and government-related deposits.
Financial Assets Managed
OFG’s financial assets include those managed by OFG’s trust division, retirement plan administration subsidiary, and assets gathered by its securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries. OFG’s trust division offers various types of individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and manages 401(k) and Keogh retirement plans and custodian and corporate trust accounts, while the retirement plan administration subsidiary manages private retirement plans. At September 30, 2022, the total assets managed by OFG’s trust division and retirement plan administration subsidiary amounted to $3.091 billion, compared to $3.759 billion at December 31, 2021. OFG’s broker-dealer subsidiary offers a wide array of investment alternatives to its client base, such as tax-advantaged fixed income securities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds and money management wrap-fee programs. At September 30, 2022, total assets gathered by the securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries from their customers’ investment accounts amounted to $2.033 billion, compared to $2.466 billion at December 31, 2021. Changes in trust and broker-dealer related assets primarily reflect changes in portfolio balances and differences in market value resulting from the increase in interest rates.
Goodwill
OFG’s goodwill is not amortized to expense but is tested at least annually for impairment. A quantitative annual impairment test is not required if, based on a qualitative analysis, OFG determines that the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired. OFG completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31 of each year. OFG tests for impairment by first allocating its goodwill and other assets and liabilities, as necessary, to defined reporting units. A fair value is then determined for each reporting unit. If the fair values of the reporting units exceed their book values, no write-down of the recorded goodwill is necessary. If the fair values are less than the book values, an additional valuation procedure is necessary to assess the proper carrying value of the goodwill.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had $86.1 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the banking segment and $2.0 million to the wealth management segment. Please refer to Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to our consolidated financial statements for more information on the annual goodwill impairment test.

OFG’s loan portfolio is composed of mortgage, commercial, consumer, and auto loans and leases. As shown in Table 5 above, total loans, net, amounted to $6.591 billion at September 30, 2022 and $6.329 billion at December 31, 2021. OFG’s loans held-for-investment portfolio composition and trends were as follows:
•Commercial loan portfolio amounted to $2.540 billion (38.0% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $2.379 billion (37.2% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021.
Commercial loan production, excluding PPP loans, decreased 29.4%, or $74.8 million, to $179.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $254.2 million for the same period in 2021, and decreased 1.8%, or $12.7 million, to $698.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 from $710.8 million for the same period in 2021.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, OFG originated $159.0 million of PPP loans. There were no originations of PPP loans during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, as the program concluded in 2021.
•Mortgage loan portfolio amounted to $1.739 billion (26.0% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $1.907 billion (29.8% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021. Mortgage loans included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program amounting to $29.1 million and $14.5 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Under the GNMA program, issuers such as OFG have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected (rebooked) on our financial statements with an offsetting liability.
Mortgage loan production totaled $38.9 million and $165.7 million for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which represents a decrease of 54.5% and 41.9% from $85.5 million and $285.2 million for the same periods in 2021. The housing market in Puerto Rico has been greatly impacted by the FRB interest rate hikes during 2022, in contrast with 2021 where there was a sudden increase in housing originations as a result of higher liquidity from government funds from Hurricane Maria, earthquakes and Covid in the Puerto Rico economy combined with low interest rates.
•Consumer loan portfolio amounted to $520.9 million (7.8% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $409.7 million (6.4% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021. Consumer loan production increased 44.3% and 129.6% to $73.0 million and $266.7 million in the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, from $50.6 million and $116.2 million for the same periods in 2021.
•Auto and leasing portfolio amounted to $1,885.1 million (28.2% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $1,706.3 million (26.7% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2021. Auto loans production increased 32.6% and 21.6% to $219.9 million and $591.2 million in the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $165.9 million and $486.3 million for the same periods in 2021.

At September 30, 2022, OFG has $73.4 million of direct credit exposure to the Puerto Rico government, a $13.8 million decrease from December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, total loan exposure to the Puerto Rico government included a $1.1 million PCD loan granted to a public corporation classified as non-accrual, which was repaid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Credit Risk Management
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, OFG adopted an accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of future expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets.
Tables 7 through 9 set forth an analysis of activity in the allowance for credit losses and present selected credit loss statistics for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, Table 5 sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio.
Please refer to the “Provision for Credit Losses” and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” sections in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and Note 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses of this Quarterly Report for a more detailed analysis of provisions and allowance for credit losses.
Non-performing Assets
OFG’s non-performing assets include non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate, and other repossessed assets (see Tables 10 and 12). At September 30, 2022, OFG had $93.6 million of non-accrual loans, including $10.0 million PCD loans, compared to $101.9 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting a decrease of $5.9 million in the mortgage loan portfolio.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, loans whose terms have been extended and which were classified as troubled-debt restructurings that were not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $145.5 million and $125.9 million, respectively, as they were performing under their modified terms.
Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) programs are classified as non-performing loans when they become 90 days or more past due but are not placed in non-accrual status until they become 12 months or more past due, since they are insured loans. Therefore, those loans are included as non-performing loans but excluded from non-accrual loans.
At September 30, 2022, OFG’s non-performing assets decreased by 6.0% to $121.3 million (1.21% of total assets) from $129.0 million (1.30% of total assets) at December 31, 2021.
Foreclosed real estate decreased from $15.0 million at December 31, 2021 to $14.6 million at September 30, 2022 and other reposed assets increased from $1.9 million at December 31, 2021 to $3.3 million at September 30, 2022, both recorded at fair value. OFG does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses. At September 30, 2022, the allowance coverage ratio to non-performing loans was 150.0% (139.2% at December 31, 2021).
Upon adoption of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology, OFG elected to maintain pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and will continue to account for these pools as a unit of account. As such, for PCD loans the determination of nonaccrual or accrual status is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level. Upon adoption of CECL, the allowance for credit losses was determined for each pool and added to the pool’s carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis. The difference between the unpaid principal balance of the pool and the new amortized cost basis is the non-credit premium or discount which will be amortized interest income over the remaining life of the pool. On a quarterly basis, management will monitor the composition and behavior of the pools to assess the ability for cash flow estimation and timing. If based on the analysis performed the pool is classified as non-accrual, the accretion/amortization of the non-credit (discount) premium will cease.
OFG follows a conservative residential mortgage lending policy with more than 90% of its residential mortgage portfolio consisting of fixed-rate, fully amortizing, fully documented loans that do not have the level of risk associated with subprime loans offered by certain major U.S. mortgage loan originators. Furthermore, OFG has never been active in negative amortization loans or offered adjustable rate mortgage loans with teaser rates.
The following items comprise non-performing loans held for investment, including Non-PCD and PCDs:
Commercial loans - At September 30, 2022, OFG’s non-performing commercial loans amounted to $46.4 million (44.8% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 7.6% decrease from $50.1 million at December 31, 2021 (44.8% of OFG’s non-performing loans). Non-PCD commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due and are written down, if necessary, based on the specific evaluation of the underlying collateral, if any.
Mortgage loans - At September 30, 2022, OFG’s non-performing mortgage loans totaled $33.5 million (32.4% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 15.7% decrease from $39.7 million (35.5% of OFG’s non-performing loans) at December 31, 2021. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, OFG sold $21.9 million of past due mortgage loans, $4.0 million were included as non-performing assets at December 31, 2021. Non-PCD mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due and are written-down, if necessary, based on the specific evaluation of the collateral underlying the loan, except for FHA and VA insured mortgage loans which are placed in non-accrual when they become 12 months or more past due.
Consumer loans - At September 30, 2022, OFG’s non-performing consumer loans amounted to $2.7 million (2.6% of OFG’s non-performing loans), an 18.3% increase from $2.3 million at December 31, 2021 (2.1% of OFG’s non-performing loans), which reflect higher balances in the portfolio. Non-PCD consumer loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due and written-off when payments are delinquent 120 days in personal loans and 180 days in credit cards and personal lines of credit.
Auto loans and leasing - At September 30, 2022, OFG’s non-performing auto loans and leases amounted to $20.9 million (20.2% of OFG’s total non-performing loans), an increase of 5.2% from $19.8 million at December 31, 2021 (17.6% of OFG’s total non-performing loans), which reflect higher balances in the portfolio. Non-PCD auto loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, partially written-off to collateral value when payments are delinquent 120 days, and fully written-off when payments are delinquent 180 days.
OFG has two mortgage loan modification programs. These are the Loss Mitigation Program and the Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan Program. Both programs are intended to help responsible homeowners to remain in their homes and avoid foreclosure, while also reducing OFG’s losses on non-performing mortgage loans.
The Loss Mitigation Program helps mortgage borrowers who are or will become financially unable to meet the current or scheduled mortgage payments. Loans that qualify under this program are those guaranteed by FHA, VA, USDA Rural Development (RURAL), Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (PRHFA), conventional loans guaranteed by Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC), conventional loans sold to FNMA and FHLMC, and conventional loans retained by OFG. The program offers diversified alternatives such as regular or reduced payment plans, payment moratorium, mortgage loan modification, partial claims (only FHA), short sale, and deed in lieu of foreclosure.
The Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan Program is for non-conforming mortgages, including balloon payment, interest only/interest first, variable interest rate, adjustable interest rate and other qualified loans. Non-conforming mortgage loan portfolios are segregated into the following categories: performing loans that meet secondary market requirement and are refinanced under the credit underwriting guidelines of FHA/VA/FNMA/ FHLMC, and performing loans not meeting secondary market guidelines processed pursuant OFG’s current credit and underwriting guidelines. OFG achieved an affordable and sustainable monthly payment by taking specific, sequential, and necessary steps such as reducing the
interest rate, extending the loan term, capitalizing arrearages, deferring the payment of principal or, if the borrower qualifies, refinancing the loan.
In order to apply for any of our loan modification programs, if the borrower is active in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it must request an authorization from the bankruptcy trustee to allow for the loan modification. Borrowers with discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcies may also apply. Loans in these programs are evaluated by designated credit underwriters for troubled-debt restructuring classification if OFG grants a concession for legal or economic reasons due to the debtor’s financial difficulties.
As a result of the effects of Hurricane Fiona and Puerto Rico being declared a disaster zone by local and federal authorities, OFG granted loan payment accommodations to certain qualified borrowers in order to provide them with flexibility to address the hurricane’s immediate impact. At September 30, 2022, the process of analyzing moratorium requests by OFG was still ongoing.

Total commercial charge-offs for the quarter and nine-months period ended September 30, 2022 included $6.6 million charge-offs, of which $5.5 million were previously reserved for two commercial loans; one was subsequently sold on October 7th, 2022. In addition, total commercial charge-offs for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2022 also included a $2.5 million charge-off from a previously reserved commercial loan sold during the second quarter of 2022. The increase in charge-offs from auto and consumer loans was mainly due to higher loan volumes. Also, late payments as a result of Hurricane Fiona were a factor.
Total recoveries for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2022 included a $2.8 million recovery from a Puerto Rico government public corporation PCD commercial loan repaid during the first quarter of 2022 and $1.1 million recoveries associated with the final settlement of the past due mortgage loans transferred to held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2021 and subsequently sold during the first quarter of 2022.

Liabilities and Funding Sources
As shown in Table 13 above, at September 30, 2022, OFG’s total liabilities were $9.064 billion, 2.6% higher than the $8.831 billion reported at December 31, 2021. Deposits and borrowings, OFG’s funding sources, amounted to $8.882 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $8.668 billion at December 31, 2021. Deposits, excluding accrued interest payable, increased 2.9% mainly from higher commercial and retail deposits by $379.9 million, offset by a decrease of $127.9 million in time deposits from maturities, with the majority of them transferred into demand deposit and savings accounts.
As of September 30, 2022 borrowings consist of short-term FHLB advances amounting to $27.2 million. Borrowings decreased by $37.3 million, when compared to $64.6 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting the redemption of all $36.1 million variable rate subordinated capital notes before maturity during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Stockholders’ Equity
At September 30, 2022, OFG’s total stockholders’ equity was $993.9 million, a 7% decrease when compared to $1.069 billion at December 31, 2021. This reduction in stockholders’ equity reflects a decrease of $60.6 million from treasury stock and $1.5 million in additional paid-in capital, as a result of repurchases of common stock in the aggregate amount of $64.1 million in connection with the $100 million stock buyback program adopted during the first quarter of 2022. It also reflects a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $109.0 million from changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities due to higher interest rates. The decrease was offset by an increase in retained earnings of $84.1 million and legal surplus of $11.8 million, mainly due to $119.9 million in net income, partially offset by $24.0 million common stock dividends issued during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Regulatory Capital
OFG and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. The current risk-based capital standards applicable to OFG and the Bank (“Basel III capital rules”) are based on the final capital framework for strengthening international capital standards, known as Basel III, of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. As of September 30, 2022, the capital ratios of OFG and the Bank continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.
On January 1, 2020, OFG implemented CECL using the modified retrospective approach, with an impact to capital of $25.5 million, net of its corresponding deferred tax effect. On March 27, 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, U.S. banking regulators issued an interim final rule that OFG adopted to delay for two years the initial adoption impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during 2020 and 2021 (i.e., a five-year transition period). During the two-year delay, OFG added back to common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital 100% of the initial adoption impact of CECL plus 25% of the cumulative quarterly changes in the allowance for credit losses (i.e., quarterly transitional amounts). After two years, starting on January 1, 2022, the quarterly transitional amounts along with the initial adoption impact of CECL will be phased out of CET1 capital over a three-year period.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, OFG redeemed all of its $36.1 million subordinated capital notes and, as a result, OFG’s tier 1 capital was reduced by the corresponding $35.0 million qualified trust preferred securities, which were previously included in tier 1 capital.
The risk-based capital ratios presented in Table 14 include common equity tier 1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and are calculated based on the Basel III capital rules related to the measurement of capital, risk-weighted assets and average assets.
The following are OFG’s consolidated capital ratios under the Basel III capital rules at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

From December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022, leverage capital ratio increased from 9.69% to 9.82%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased from 14.27% to 13.38%, total risk-based capital ratio decreased from 15.52% to 14.63%, common equity tier 1 capital ratio decreased from 13.77% to 13.38%, and tangible common equity to tangible total assets decreased from 9.69% to 8.83%. The decreases in capital ratios reflected common stock repurchases of $64.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and an increase in risk-weighted assets, partially offset by increase in retained earnings. Risk-weighted assets increased, mainly from higher loan and investment portfolios at September 30, 2022. Also, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, OFG completed the redemption and cancellation of subordinated capital notes, further reducing tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital by $35.0 million. Tangible common equity was also affected by $109.0 million other comprehensive losses during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 in available for sale securities as a result of increases in market interest rates as a result of recent developments in the U.S. economy, particularly inflationary pressures.

The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP measures and, unlike tier 1 capital and common equity tier 1 capital, are not codified in the federal banking regulations. 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. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets or 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 OFG calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. To mitigate these limitations, OFG has procedures in place to calculate these measures using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

In January 2022, OFG announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The shares of common stock repurchased are held by OFG as treasury shares. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, OFG repurchased 2,351,868 shares for a total of $64.1 million at an average price of $27.26 per share. OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, OFG repurchased 1,684,921 shares under the $50.0 million repurchase program approved at that time for a total of $40.2 million, at an average price of $23.83 per share.
At September 30, 2022 the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $100 million stock buyback program is estimated at 1,428,166 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $35.9 million by $25.13 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at September 30, 2022).
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related data presented herein (except for certain non-GAAP measures as previously indicated) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services since such prices are affected by inflation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Background
OFG’s risk management policies are established by its Board of Directors (the “Board”) and implemented by management through the adoption of a risk management program, which is overseen and monitored by the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, the Board’s Risk and Compliance Committee, the executive Risk and Compliance Team, the executive Credit Risk Team, and the executive Asset/Liability Team (“ALT”). OFG has continued to refine and enhance its risk management program by strengthening policies, processes and procedures necessary to maintain effective risk management.
All aspects of OFG’s business activities are susceptible to risk. Consequently, risk identification and monitoring are essential to risk management. As more fully discussed below, OFG’s primary risk exposures include market, interest rate, credit, liquidity, operational and concentration risks.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse movements in market rates or prices, such as interest rates or prices. OFG evaluates market risk together with interest rate risk. OFG’s financial results and capital levels are constantly exposed to market risk. The Board and management are primarily responsible for ensuring that the market risk assumed by OFG complies with the guidelines established by policies approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the management of this risk to the ALT which is composed of certain executive officers from the business, treasury and finance areas. One of ALT’s primary goals is to ensure that the market risk assumed by OFG is within the parameters established in such policies.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the exposure to decline in earnings or capital due to changes in interest rates. To actively monitor the interest rate risk, the Board of Directors has created the ALT whose principal responsibilities consist in overseeing the management of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to balance its risk exposures. In executing its responsibilities, ALT considers different methods to enhance profitability while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risks by
implementing investment, pricing and financial strategies that helps managing OFG vulnerability to changes in interest rates.
On a quarterly basis, OFG performs net interest income simulation analysis on a consolidated basis to estimate the potential change in future earnings from projected changes in interest rates. These simulations are carried out over a five-year time horizon, assuming certain upward and downward interest rate movements, achieved during a twelve-month period. Market scenarios that include instantaneous and parallel interest rate movements as well as other scenarios with gradual interest rate ramps, speed of interest rate changes, and changes in the slope of the yield curve are also modeled. In addition to the change in interest rates, the results of the analysis could be affected by prepayments, caps, and floors. Management exercises its best judgment in formulating assumptions regarding events that management can influence such as non-maturity deposits repricing, as well as events outside management’s control such as customer behavior on loans and deposits activity and the effects that competition has on both lending and deposits pricing. These assumptions are subjective and, as a result, net interest income simulation results will differ from actual results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.
OFG uses a software application to project future movements in OFG’s balance sheet and income statement. The starting point of the projections generally corresponds to the actual values of the balance sheet on the date of the simulations.
The following table presents the results of the simulations for the most likely scenarios at September 30, 2022. The left of the table presents an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in net interest income resulting from an instantaneous and parallel shift in the yield curve over a 12-month horizon. The base case scenario assumes that the current interest rate environment is held constant throughout the forecast period for a static balance sheet and the instantaneous shocks are performed against that yield curve. The right side of the table, presents an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in net interest income resulting from parallel gradual interest rates ramps over a 12-month horizon.

+ 100 Basis points | $ | 23,215 | | | 4.38 | % | | $ | 11,089 | | | 2.09 | % |
+ 200 Basis points | $ | 46,667 | | | 8.80 | % | | $ | 22,333 | | | 4.21 | % |
- 50 Basis points | $ | (10,652) | | | -2.01 | % | | $ | (4,917) | | | -0.93 | % |
'-100 Basis points | $ | (21,459) | | | -4.05 | % | | $ | (9,875) | | | -1.86 | % |
The scenarios above are both instantaneous shocks and gradual interest rate ramps that assume balance sheet management will mirror the base case. Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there can be no assurance that our assets and liabilities would perform as anticipated. Additionally, a change in the U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to net interest income than indicated above. OFG strategic management of the balance sheet would be adjusted to accommodate these movements. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methods of analysis presented above. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag changes in market rates. Also, the ability of many borrowers to service their debts may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. ALT strategies consider all these factors as part of the monitoring of the exposure to interest rate risk.
Future net interest income could be affected by OFG’s investments in callable securities, prepayment risk related to mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, and advances from the FHLB in which it may enter into from time to time. As part of the strategy to limit the interest rate risk and reduce the re-pricing gaps of OFG’s assets and liabilities, OFG has executed, in the past, certain transactions which include extending the maturity and the re-pricing frequency of the liabilities to longer terms and using hedge-designated swaps to hedge the variability of future interest cash flows of forecasted wholesale borrowings that only consist of short-term advances from the FHLB still outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
OFG maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. OFG’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities so that the net interest margin is not, on a material basis, adversely affected by movements in interest rates. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, hedged fixed-rate assets and liabilities will appreciate or depreciate in market value. Also, for some fixed-rate assets or liabilities, the effect of this variability in earnings is expected to be substantially offset by OFG’s gains and losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to the forecasted cash flows of these hedged assets and liabilities. OFG considers its strategic use of derivatives to be a prudent method of managing interest-rate sensitivity as it reduces the exposure of earnings and the market value of its equity to undue risk posed by changes in interest rates. The effect of this unrealized appreciation or depreciation is expected to be substantially offset by OFG’s gains or losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged assets and liabilities. Another result of interest rate fluctuation is that the contractual interest income and interest expense of hedged variable-rate assets and liabilities, respectively, will increase or decrease.
Derivative instruments that are used as part of OFG’s interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps and option contracts that have indices related to the pricing of specific balance sheet assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable-rate interest payments between two parties based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. Interest rate options represent contracts that allow the holder of the option to (i) receive cash or (ii) purchase, sell, or enter into a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified period. Some purchased option contracts give OFG the right to enter into interest rate swaps and cap and floor agreements with the writer of the option.
Following is a summary of certain strategies, including derivative activities, currently used by OFG to manage interest rate risk:
Interest rate swaps and borrowings — OFG uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of interest cash flows of certain advances from the FHLB that are tied to a variable rate index. The interest rate swaps effectively fix OFG’s interest payments on these borrowings. As of September 30, 2022, OFG had $27.1 million in interest rate swaps at an average rate of 2.42% designated as cash flow hedges for $27.2 million in advances from the FHLB that reprice or are being rolled over on a monthly basis. A derivative liability of $28 thousand was recognized at September 30, 2022 related to the valuation of these swaps.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the possibility of loss arising from a borrower or counterparty in a credit-related contract failing to perform in accordance with its terms. The principal source of credit risk for OFG is its lending activities. In Puerto Rico, OFG’s principal market, we believe that recent macroeconomic conditions continue to show strength, however, as was demonstrated by Hurricane Fiona in September 2022, the January 2020 earthquakes and hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Puerto Rico is susceptible to natural disasters, which can have a disproportionate impact because of the logistical difficulties of bringing relief to an island far from the United States mainland. The effects of climate change may further increase the risk of natural disasters in the future and the correlative risk that the physical impact of such events could adversely affect our customers, operations, and business. Moreover, the Puerto Rico government’s fiscal challenges and Puerto Rico’s unique relationship with the United States also complicate any relief efforts after a natural disaster. These events increase credit risk as debtors may no longer be capable of operating their businesses and the collateral securing OFG’s loans may suffer significant damages.
OFG manages its credit risk through a comprehensive credit policy which we believe establishes sound underwriting standards by monitoring and evaluating loan portfolio quality, and by the constant assessment of reserves and loan concentrations. OFG also employs proactive collection and loss mitigation practices.
OFG may also encounter risk of default in relation to its securities portfolio. The securities held by OFG are mostly agency mortgage-backed securities and US Treasury securities. Thus, these instruments are guaranteed by mortgages, a U.S. government-sponsored entity, or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
OFG’s executive Credit Risk Team, composed of its Chief Operating Officer, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, and other senior executives, has primary responsibility for setting strategies to achieve OFG’s credit risk goals and objectives. Those goals and objectives are set forth in OFG’s Credit Policy as approved by the Board.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of OFG not being able to generate sufficient cash from either assets or liabilities to meet obligations as they become due without incurring substantial losses. The Board has established a policy to manage this risk. OFG’s cash requirements principally consist of deposit withdrawals, contractual loan funding, repayment of borrowings as these mature, and funding of new and existing investments as required.
OFG’s business requires continuous access to various funding sources. While OFG is able to fund its operations through deposits as well as through advances from the FHLB and other alternative sources, OFG’s business may at times need to rely upon other external wholesale funding sources. OFG has selectively reduced its use of certain wholesale funding sources, such as repurchase agreements, subordinated notes and brokered deposits. As of September 30, 2022, OFG had $11.4 million in brokered deposits.
Brokered deposits are typically offered through an intermediary to small retail investors. OFG’s ability to continue to attract brokered deposits is subject to variability based upon a number of factors, including volume and volatility in the global securities markets, OFG’s credit rating, and the relative interest rates that it is prepared to pay for these liabilities. Brokered deposits are generally considered a less stable source of funding than core deposits obtained through retail bank branches. Investors in brokered deposits are generally more sensitive to interest rates and will generally move funds from one depository institution to another based on small differences in interest rates offered on deposits. As a result of the increase in core deposits, OFG has been limiting the offering of brokered deposits.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, bear variable interest rate and may require payment of a fee. Since the commitments may expire unexercised, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. OFG evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by OFG upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Loan commitments, which represent unused lines of credit, increased to $1.369 billion at September 30, 2022 ($277.2 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.092 billion with maturity over one year) compared to $1.365 billion at December 31, 2021 ($280.6 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.085 billion with maturity over one year), and letters of credit provided to customers increased to $25.7 million compared to $25.2 million at December 31, 2021. Loans sold with recourse at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $113.4 million and $121.8 million, respectively.
In the case of loans serviced by OFG for FNMA, OFG is required to advance to the owners the payment of principal and interest on a scheduled basis for six months even when such payment was not collected from the borrower due to payment forbearance granted or payment delinquency. Such amounts advanced are recorded as a receivable by OFG and are expected to be collected from the borrower and/or government agency (FNMA).
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $21.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively, primarily for the acquisition of other investments. These cash requirements are expected to be satisfied with OFG’s unrestricted cash. In addition, as we continue to transform OFG with a focus on simplification and building a culture of excellence and customer service, we continue to invest in technology. Some of our technology investments are table stakes and required to continuously upgrade our systems. Others require us to focus our technology on investments that drive our strategy, namely digital, data analytics, cloud migration, cyber security, and our sales and service capabilities. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $7.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively, which are expected to be satisfied with OFG’s unrestricted cash.
Our liquidity risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market stress that began in the first quarter of 2020 from the Covid-19 pandemic. Requests for loan payment deferrals rose in the second quarter of 2020. Nevertheless, most payment deferrals ended in the third quarter of 2020. Even though OFG’s liquidity was impacted by loan principal and interest payment deferrals that were granted for certain customers due to Covid-19, liquidity has been growing from the federal stimulus programs Puerto Rico is receiving following Hurricane Maria in 2017, the early 2020 earthquakes, the Covid-19 pandemic and now Hurricane Fiona in 2022. However, liquidity can be further affected by a number of factors such as, counterparty willingness or ability to extend credit, regulatory actions and customer preferences, some of which are beyond our control. With the current economic uncertainty resulting from inflation and the war in Ukraine, as well as potential Covid-19 variants, we continue monitoring our liquidity position, specifically cash on hand to meet customer demands.
Although OFG expects to have continued access to credit from the foregoing sources of funds, there can be no assurance that such financing sources will continue to be available or will be available on favorable terms. In a period of financial disruption or if negative developments occur with respect to OFG, the availability and cost of OFG’s funding sources could be adversely affected. In that event, OFG’s cost of funds may increase, thereby reducing its net interest income, or OFG may need to dispose of a portion of its investment portfolio, which depending upon market conditions, could result in realizing a loss or experiencing other adverse accounting consequences upon any such dispositions. OFG’s efforts to monitor and manage liquidity risk may not be successful to deal with dramatic or unanticipated changes in the global securities markets or other reductions in liquidity driven by OFG or market-related events. In the event that such sources of funds are reduced or eliminated and OFG is not able to replace these on a cost-effective basis, OFG may be forced to curtail or cease its loan origination business and treasury activities, which would have a material adverse effect on its operations and financial condition.
As of September 30, 2022, OFG had approximately $815.3 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $1.7 billion in investment securities that are not pledged as collateral, and $682.3 million in borrowing capacity at the FHLB.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss from inadequate or failed internal processes, personnel and systems or from external events. All functions, products and services of OFG are susceptible to operational risk.
OFG faces ongoing and emerging risk and regulatory pressure related to the activities that surround the delivery of banking and financial products and services. Coupled with external influences such as the risk of natural disasters, market conditions, security risks, and legal risks, the potential for operational and reputational loss has increased. In order to mitigate and control operational risk, OFG has developed, and continues to enhance, specific internal controls, policies and procedures that are designed to identify and manage operational risk at appropriate levels throughout the organization. The purpose of these policies and procedures is to provide reasonable assurance that OFG’s business operations are functioning within established limits.
OFG classifies operational risk into two major categories: business specific and corporate-wide affecting all business lines. For business specific risks, a risk assessment group works with the various business units to ensure consistency in policies, processes and assessments. With respect to corporate-wide risks, such as information security, business recovery, legal and compliance, OFG has specialized groups, such as Information Security, Enterprise Risk Management, Corporate Compliance, Information Technology, Legal and Operations. These groups assist the lines of business in the development and implementation of risk management practices specific to the needs of the business groups. All these matters are reviewed and discussed in the executive Risk and Compliance Team and the executive Consumer Compliance Team. OFG also has a Business Continuity Plan to address situations where its capacity to perform critical functions is affected. Under such circumstances, a Crisis Management Team is activated to restore such critical functions within established timeframes.
OFG is subject to extensive United States federal and Puerto Rico regulations, and this regulatory scrutiny has been significantly increasing over the last several years. OFG has established and continues to enhance procedures based on legal and regulatory requirements that are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. OFG has a corporate compliance function headed by a Chief Risk and Compliance Officer who reports to the Chief Executive Officer and supervises the BSA Officer and Regulatory Compliance Officer. The Chief Risk and Compliance Officer is responsible for the oversight of regulatory compliance and implementation of a company-wide compliance program, including the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance program.
Concentration Risk
Most of OFG’s business activities and a significant portion of its credit exposure are concentrated in Puerto Rico. As a consequence, OFG’s profitability and financial condition may be adversely affected by an extended economic slowdown, adverse political, fiscal or economic developments in Puerto Rico, or the effects of a natural disaster, all of which could result in a reduction in loan originations, an increase in non-performing assets, an increase in foreclosure losses on mortgage loans, and a reduction in the value of its loans and loan servicing portfolio.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
OFG’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of OFG’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of OFG’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, OFG’s disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance of effectiveness in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by OFG in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within OFG to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in OFG’s periodic reports.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in OFG’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, OFG’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART - II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
OFG and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. OFG is vigorously contesting such claims. Based upon a review by legal counsel and the development of these matters to date, management is of the opinion that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, resulting from these claims will not have a material adverse effect on OFG’s financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our 2021 Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q describe market, credit, and business operations risk factors that could affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In January 2022, OFG announced the approval by its Board of Directors of a new stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of our common stock in the open market. Any shares of common stock repurchased are held by OFG as treasury shares. OFG records treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock.
As of the date of this Quarter Report, the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the current $100 million stock buyback program is estimated at 1,428,166 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $35.9 million by $25.13 (closing price of OFG common stock at September 30, 2022). However, OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
