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 credit losses (“ACL”), 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;
•a credit default by the U.S. government or a downgrade in the credit ratings of the U.S. government;
•the impacts related to or resulting from bank failures and other volatility, including potential increased regulatory and compliance requirements and costs and potential impacts to macroeconomic conditions, which could affect the ability of depository institutions, including the Bank, to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital;
•the actual or perceived soundness of other financial institutions, including as a result of the financial or operational failure of a major financial institution, or concerns about the creditworthiness of such a financial institution or its ability to fulfill its obligations, which can cause substantial and cascading disruption within the financial markets;
•amendments to the fiscal plans 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 and acts of terrorism (including cyber-attacks), or utility disruptions, any of which could significantly affect delinquency rates, loan and accounts receivable balances and other aspects of our business and results of operations;
•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; and
•possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes.
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 for credit losses 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 on Form 10-Q, 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 – SUMMARY OF 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”), and OFG Ventures LLC (“OFG Ventures”), which holds equity investments. Through these subsidiaries and their respective divisions, OFG provides a wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer, auto, and mortgage lending, financial planning, insurance sales, investment advisory, and securities brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services.
The Bank has a wholly-owned operating subsidiary, OFG USA LLC (“OFG USA”), which is a commercial lender organized in Delaware. In addition, Oriental International Bank Inc. (“OIB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, and Oriental Overseas, a division of the Bank, are international banking entities licensed pursuant to the International Banking Center Regulatory Act of Puerto Rico, as amended. OIB and Oriental Overseas offer the Bank certain Puerto Rico tax advantages. Their activities are limited under Puerto Rico law to assets/liabilities located outside of Puerto Rico. In March 2024, the Bank organized OBPEF LLC (“OBPEF”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and a private equity fund under the Puerto Rico Incentives Code, as amended, whose objective is to provide financing to eligible borrowers, whether in the form of senior or subordinated debt, to support the economic development of Puerto Rico.
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 (“SEC”). 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 OFG’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. OFG evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this report with the SEC and has recorded or disclosed those material events or transactions as described within the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate mainly to the determination of the allowance for credit losses.
New Accounting Updates Not Yet Adopted
Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-02, which removes various references to concept statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU intends to simplify the Accounting Standards Codification and distinguish between non-authoritative and authoritative guidance. For public business entities, the amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2025 on a prospective basis, and the impact on our financial statements and disclosures is not expected to be material.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Compensation—Stock Compensation. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The ASU 2024-01 is intended to reduce complexity and diversity in practice. For public business entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2025 on a prospective basis, and the impact on our financial statements and disclosures is not expected to be material.
Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 to enhance segment reporting by expanding the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures required for public entities. The amendments in this ASU will allow registrants to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss and it also clarifies that single reportable segment entities must apply Topic 280 in its entirety. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective in the annual period of 2024 on a retrospective basis to all periods presented in the financial statements, and the impact on our financial statements and disclosures is not expected to be material.
Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to enhance income tax disclosures and requests for more information about the tax risks and opportunities present in an entity’s worldwide operations. The ASU’s two primary enhancements will require further disaggregation for existing disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. More specifically, the amendments will require entities to disclose: a tabular effective tax rate reconciliation, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items above a 5% threshold further broken out by nature and jurisdiction; and income taxes paid (net of refunds received), broken out between federal, state and foreign, and net amounts paid to an individual jurisdiction that exceed 5% of the total. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities are permitted to early adopt these amendments. The amendments should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective in the annual period of 2025 on a prospective basis, and the impact on our financial statements and disclosures is not expected to be material.
The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. On March 6, 2024, the SEC issued a final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275 that requires registrants to provide climate disclosures in their annual reports and registration statements. The rule includes disclosure concerning the use of carbon offsets or renewable energy credits or certificates if their use is a material component of the registrant’s plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets or goals, and certain disclosures about Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, if material. It also requires disclosures of amounts related to the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The disclosure requirements will apply to OFG’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. We will adopt this rule when it becomes effective. OFG is currently evaluating the final rule and its impact on our financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH
The Bank is required by Puerto Rico law to maintain average weekly reserve balances to cover demand deposits, excluding government deposits that are secured with pledged collateral. The amount of those minimum average reserve balances for the week that covered September 30, 2024 was $460.1 million (December 31, 2023 - $464.5 million). At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank complied with this requirement. Cash and due from banks, as well as other short-term highly liquid securities, are used to cover the required average reserve balances.
NOTE 3 – 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, money market instruments included as part of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

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.
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.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, most securities held by OFG are issued by U.S. government entities and government-sponsored agencies that have a zero-credit loss assumption and, therefore, have no allowance for credit losses.
Investment securities at September 30, 2024 include $1.641 billion pledged to secure government deposits and regulatory collateral, of which $1.595 billion serve as collateral for public funds. For regulatory collateral, the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge them. Investment securities as of December 31, 2023 include $1.624 billion pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives, and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge, of which $1.575 billion serve as collateral for public funds.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank’s international banking entities held short-term US Treasury securities in the amount of $525 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.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $55.7 million and $52.8 million, respectively, at a yield of 5.08% and 5.20%, respectively, from its own originations.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, OFG retained FNMA pools totaling $17.2 million at a yield of 5.37%, from its own originations. OFG did not retain FNMA pools during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, OFG sold $149.4 million and $203.3 million, respectively, of available for sale US Treasury securities and recognized a $7 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, in losses on the sale.

OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The unrealized losses on OFG’s investment in federal agency mortgage-backed securities were caused by market volatility related to the sharp interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023. During 2024, interest rates have decreased and are expected to continue to decrease through the end of the year. These decreases have reduced the unrealized losses of investments. OFG purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government or by a government-sponsored enterprise. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost basis of OFG’s investments. OFG does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that OFG will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
NOTE 4 - LOANS
OFG’s loan portfolio is composed of four segments: commercial, mortgage, consumer, and auto loans. Loans are further segregated into classes which OFG uses when assessing and monitoring the risk and performance of the portfolio.
The composition of the amortized cost basis of OFG’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG had carrying balances of $66.2 million and $68.6 million, respectively, in loans held-for-investment granted to the Puerto Rico government or its instrumentalities as part of the commercial loan segment. The Bank’s loans to the Puerto Rico government are general obligations of municipalities secured by ad valorem taxation, without limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the issuing municipalities in current status. The good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of each issuing municipality are pledged for the payment of its general obligations.
The tables below present the aging of the amortized cost of loans held for investment at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, by class of loans. Mortgage loans past due include $41.8 million and $19.4 million of delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, OFG acquired the servicing rights of a $1.7 billion mortgage loan portfolio that was being subserviced by the Bank. Defaulted loans under the GNMA buy-back option program corresponding to this servicing portfolio amounted to $24.2 million at September 30, 2024. Servicers of loans underlying GNMA mortgage-backed securities must report as their own assets the defaulted loans that they have the option (but not the obligation) to repurchase, even when they elect not to exercise that option.

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, purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans are not included in the preceding two tables.

The determination of non-accrual or accrual status of PCD loans is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level.
For December 31, 2023, total commercial non-accrual loans exclude $6.4 million of non-accrual commercial loans held-for-sale, these loans were sold during the second quarter of 2024. There were no commercial non-accrual loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2024.
Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and Veterans Administration (“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.

Modifications to Debtors Experiencing Financial Difficulty
OFG’s loss mitigation program was designed to ensure that borrowers experiencing financial difficulties have the opportunity to continue paying their obligations. The loss mitigation alternatives are divided depending on the borrower’s hardship and its ability to continue with regular payment or with a new modified payment plan. The loss mitigation program provides alternatives for home retention or disposition options avoiding foreclosure proceedings and collateral retention.
OFG offers various types of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension, interest or principal forbearance or forgiveness, or any combination of these types of concessions.
At September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amortized cost of modified loans excludes $33 thousand and $110 thousand, respectively, in accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable on loans is included in the “accrued interest receivable” line in OFG’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The amortized cost of modified loans during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, includes $621 thousand and $4.5 million, respectively, of government-guaranteed loans (e.g., FHA/VA).
The following tables present the amortized cost basis as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 of loans held for investment that were modified during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and type of concession granted.

Our credit loss estimation methodology incorporates a lifetime approach, utilizing modeled loan performance based on the historical experience of loans with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The model considers extensive historical loss experience, including the impact of loss mitigation programs offered to borrowers facing financial difficulty and projected loss severity from loan defaults, and is applied consistently across all portfolio segments. Additionally, our ACL is recorded on each asset upon origination or acquisition and is based on historical loss information, including modifications made to borrowers facing financial difficulty, and expected behavior. Changes to the ACL are generally not recorded upon modification, as the effects of most modifications are already considered in the estimation methodology. Refer to Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information.
The following tables present the financial effect of the modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The financial effect of the combined modifications is presented separately by type of modification. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

A payment default for a financial difficulty modification loan is defined as reaching 90 days past due with respect to principal and/or interest payments or when the borrower missed three consecutive monthly payments since modification. Payment defaults is one of the factors considered when projecting future cash flows in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses of loans.
OFG closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table presents the payment status of loans that have been modified in the twelve-months period ended September 30, 2024 and in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 that were granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

There were no outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to debtors experiencing financial difficulties at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the recorded investment on residential mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure amounted to $26.4 million and $24.1 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 their respective 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 property title issues.

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.
As of September 30, 2024, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans held for investment subject to risk rating by class of loans, and current year-to-date period gross charge-offs by year of origination is as follows:

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 preceding two tables.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $60.1 million and $63.5 million, respectively, and is included in the accrued interest receivable line in OFG’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to “Note 9 – Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets” for more information on accrued interest receivable on loans.

NOTE 5 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
OFG measures its ACL based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets. The ACL is estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio, and 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 weight 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. For more information on OFG’s credit loss accounting policies, including the allowance for credit losses, see “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in OFG’s 2023 Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2024, 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 uses a higher probability level in the moderate recessionary scenario. In addition, the ACL at September 30, 2024 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 auto loan portfolio credit trends and the evolution of risk ratings applied to the commercial loans and collateral changes in real estate portfolios. There are still many unknown variables, including the results of the government’s fiscal and monetary actions resulting from the effect of inflation and geopolitical tension.
As of September 30, 2024, the ACL decreased by $0.4 million compared to December 31, 2023. The provision for credit losses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, reflected adjustments of $45.2 million related to loan volume, $14.7 million from loss rate model and $4.2 million in specific reserves, offset by a $7.5 million release from the economic model.
The net charge-offs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, amounted to $51.9 million, an increase of $16.4 million when compared to the same period of 2023. The increase is mainly due to $16.3 million from auto loans and $9.0 million from consumer loans as a result of higher loan volume, partially offset by a decrease of $7.8 million from commercial loans. Net charge-offs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 include $3.3 million from previously and fully-reserved nonperforming paycheck protection program (“PPP”) loans.

NOTE 7 - SERVICING ASSETS
OFG periodically sells or securitizes mortgage loans while retaining the obligation to perform the servicing of such loans. In addition, OFG may purchase or assume the right to service mortgage loans originated by others. Whenever OFG undertakes an obligation to service a loan, management assesses whether a servicing asset and/or liability should be recognized. A servicing asset is recognized whenever the compensation for servicing is expected to more than adequately compensate OFG for servicing the loans. Likewise, a servicing liability would be recognized in the event that servicing fees to be received are not expected to adequately compensate OFG for its expected cost.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, OFG acquired the servicing rights of a $1.7 billion mortgage loan portfolio that was being subserviced by the Bank. The fair value at the time of acquisition was $21.4 million.
At September 30, 2024, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $68.5 million ($49.5 million — December 31, 2023).
The following table presents the changes in servicing rights measured using the fair value method for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

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 and included in the mortgage banking activities section in the consolidated statement of operations. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $5.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $14.0 million and $14.4 million, respectively.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. There were no accumulated impairment losses at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 2023 using October 31, 2023 as the annual evaluation date and concluded that there was no impairment at December 31, 2023. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, 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, 2024.

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES
OFG 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 OFG Ventures and 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. OFG USA is subject to North Carolina state taxes, and current investments in OFG Ventures are subject to state taxes in Missouri. In addition, OFG’s wholly owned subsidiary, OFG Reinsurance Ltd., is tax exempt in Grand Cayman.
As of September 30, 2024, OFG’s net deferred tax assets, net of a valuation allowance of $6.0 million, amounted to $4.1 million; and the net deferred tax liability, net of valuation allowance of $726 thousand, amounted to $57.5 million, reflecting the aggregate deferred tax assets or liabilities of individual tax-paying subsidiaries of OFG. As of December 31, 2023, OFG’s deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance of $7.0 million, amounted to $4.9 million; and net deferred tax liability, net of a valuation allowance of $569 thousand, amounted to $22.4 million, reflecting aggregate deferred tax assets or liabilities of individual tax-paying subsidiaries of OFG. The decrease in valuation allowance of $850 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, 2024. 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 BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
OFG maintained an effective tax rate (“ETR”) lower than the statutory rate for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 of 26.4% and 31.3%, respectively, the decrease is mainly related to exempt income subject to preferential tax treatment under the PR Code, a discrete tax windfall on stock options and a discrete benefit from the purchase of tax credits during the period. The expected ETR for 2024 is 26.81%.
OFG classifies unrecognized tax benefits in other liabilities. These gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the ETR if realized. At September 30, 2024, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $987 thousand (December 31, 2023 - $936 thousand).
Income tax expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $14.8 million and $21.0 million, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $53.1 million and $61.5 million, respectively.
NOTE 13 — 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. OFG and the Bank have elected to exclude accumulated comprehensive income related to both available for sale securities and derivative valuations from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG and the Bank are “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum CET1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the tables presented below.
OFG’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

At both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank’s legal surplus amounted to $165.0 million and $151.0 million, respectively. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, OFG transferred $4.4 million and $14.0 million, respectively, to the legal surplus account. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, OFG transferred $4.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively, to the legal surplus account. The amount transferred to the legal surplus account is not available for the payment of dividends to shareholders.
Treasury Stock
In January 2024, OFG announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program for the purchase of up to $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The new stock repurchase program, which is open-ended, replaces the prior stock repurchase program of $100 million approved by the Board of Directors in January 2022, which had a remaining balance of $17.2 million. The 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. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, OFG repurchased 671,800 shares for a total of $24.4 million at an

average price of $36.30 per share. Under the prior stock repurchase program, OFG repurchased 743,699 shares for a total of $18.7 million at an average price of $25.08 per share during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.
At September 30, 2024, the estimated remaining number of shares that may be purchased under the $50.0 million program is 570,223 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $25.6 million by $44.92 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at September 30, 2024).
OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program.

NOTE 17 – GUARANTEES
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amount of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $23.9 million and $24.0 million, respectively.
OFG has a liability for residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse pursuant to FHLMC’s, GNMA’s, and FNMA’s residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse under the residential mortgage loan sales programs was $92.6 million and $98.7 million, respectively. 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. At September 30, 2024, OFG's liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $41 thousand (December 31, 2023– $102 thousand). On May 1, 2023, OFG and a third-party servicer terminated a subservicing agreement by mutual agreement. Pursuant to such termination, the third-party servicer assumed the direct servicing of the subserviced loans pursuant to FNMA’s residential mortgage loans sales program, thereby relieving OFG of its corresponding recourse obligation under that program.
The following table shows the changes in OFG’s liability for estimated losses from credit recourse agreements, included in the consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Quarter Ended September 30, | | Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, | | | | | | | | |

Balance at end of period | $ | 41 | | | $ | 175 | | | $ | 41 | | | $ | 175 | | | | | | | | | |
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, 2024 and 2023, OFG repurchased $14 thousand and $251 thousand, respectively, in mortgage loans. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, OFG repurchased $254 thousand and $861 thousand, 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.
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 that 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, 2024, OFG repurchased $1.4 million (September 30, 2023 –$2.5 million) of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to such credit recourse provision. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, OFG repurchased $3.3 million (September 30, 2023- $8.9 million). At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG had a $356 thousand and a $405 thousand liability, respectively, for the estimated credit losses related to these loans.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
During the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, OFG recognized $18 thousand and $25 thousand in gains, net of reserves, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $222 thousand in losses and $199 thousand in gains, 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, 2024 and 2023,OFG recognized $60 thousand and $147 thousand, respectively, in gains from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $145 thousand in losses and $103 thousand in gains, respectively, from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of customary representations and warranties.
At September 30, 2024, OFG serviced $5.6 billion (December 31, 2023 - $5.6 billion) in mortgage loans for third parties, including subserviced mortgage loans. 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 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 guarantee 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, 2024, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by OFG under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $4.5 million (December 31, 2023 - $4.2 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 18— 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| (In thousands) |
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 1,397,592 | | | $ | 1,255,695 | |
Commercial letters of credit | 817 | | | 119 | |
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| (In thousands) |
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees | $ | 23,885 | | | $ | 23,970 | |
Loans sold with recourse | 92,559 | | | 98,685 | |
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures corresponding to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit amounted to $876 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the statement of financial condition.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $17.4 million and $18.9 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 that drive our strategy, namely digital, data analytics, cloud migration, cyber security, and our sales and service capabilities. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $1.0 million and $7.8 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, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued liability for legal contingencies amounted to $522 thousand and $817 thousand, respectively. OFG continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. OFG also has an accrued liability for potential losses, operational errors, loss on theft not covered by insurance premiums, uncollectible receivables, among other transactions, amounting to $152 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
OFG BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
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 19— OPERATING LEASES
Substantially all leases in which OFG is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and office space with terms extending through 2038. OFG’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments. All leases are classified as operating leases and are included on the consolidated statements of financial condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. OFG leases to others certain space in its principal offices for terms extending through 2026 with two additional extension through to 2030; all are operating leases.

NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
OFG follows the fair value measurement framework under 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”). 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. At September 30, 2024, there was one security held-to-maturity, carried at amortized cost with no ACL established, classified as Level 3.
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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Other repossessed assets
Other repossessed assets are 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
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.
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 include the value of long-term customer relationships of retail deposits, and premises and equipment.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
•Cash and cash equivalents (including money market investments and time deposits with other banks), 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 by contracted pricing providers or 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. The estimated fair value of the AFICA bond in other debt securities held-to-maturity is determined by using a detailed discounted cash flow valuation model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The credit losses are recorded using the ACL methodology. This involves comparing the amortized cost of the securities with the fair value of the expected future cash flows. Several assumptions requiring a high degree of judgment include the selection of market discount rates, the determination of current credit spread, and the estimation of both the probability of default and loss given default rates. Equity securities do not have readily available fair values and are measured at cost, less any impairment.
•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 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 loan type, such as mortgage, commercial, consumer and auto. The fair value is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows. The discount rate used in such calculation considers a capital adjustment as well as other premiums for systemic risk, servicing costs, modeling and uncertainty risk, and impairment uncertainty.
•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 advances from FHLB 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
Electronic banking fees are credit and debit card processing services, fees for using 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. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Durbin Amendment became applicable to the Bank as a result of crossing the $10 billion asset threshold in December 31, 2023, which imposes limits on what banks may charge for debit card interchange fees.

Wealth Management Revenue
Insurance income from commissions generated in the sale of insurance policies issued by unaffiliated insurance companies and sale of annuities are recorded once the sale has been completed. Reinsurance revenue is recorded based on earned premium confirmed by the fronting insurance company. Contingent insurance commissions are recorded once the paying insurance companies confirm the amounts earned.
Broker fees consist of two categories:
•Sales commissions generated by advisers 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 advisers’ 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 provider of 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, IRA trusts, and retirement plans. These generally include payment for trustee services, distribution services, custodial services of plan assets, due diligence services, and investment advisory services. 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 generally collected on an annual or quarterly basis once the administrative service has been completed. Fees do not include future services.
Mortgage Banking Activities
Mortgage banking activities such as servicing fees and valuation of servicing asset, gain on sale of mortgage loans, and gain (loss) on repurchased loans and other are out of the scope of ASC 606.
NOTE 22 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
OFG segregates its businesses into the following 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 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 periodic 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, and OFG Reinsurance. The core operations of this segment are financial planning, securities brokerage services, investment advisory services, insurance, corporate and individual trust and retirement 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, 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.

Eliminations include interest income and expense for a time deposit opened by the Bank in Oriental Overseas, an international banking entity organized and licensed under Puerto Rico law, which operates as a unit within the Bank. The time deposit with a balance of $277.4 million and $308.9 million at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to fund Oriental Overseas operations is included in the Treasury Segment with its corresponding interest expense, and the related interest income is included in the Banking Segment, and are eliminated in the consolidation. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The decrease in interest income and interest expense from the prior year period was mainly as a result of lower interest rate and average balance.

NOTE 23 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 25, 2024, as part of OFG's capital actions, the Board of Directors approved a new $50.0 million stock repurchase program. This new, open-ended program is in addition to the previous stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in January 2024 of $50.0 million.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Please read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with 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 section 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, 2024 and set forth in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 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.
Other factors not identified above, including those described under the headings in our 2023 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, investment advisory and securities brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. It operates through three 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-two branches in Puerto Rico and two branches in the U.S. Virgin Islands (the “USVI”). It has five subsidiaries with operations in Puerto Rico: the Bank, Oriental Financial Services, Oriental Insurance, OIB and OBPEF; two subsidiaries in the United States, 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, as well as 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 advisory, insurance agency and reinsurance). 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.
OFG’s mission is to make possible the progress of our customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities we serve. OFG has been deploying its Digital First strategy to achieve this mission. Our strategy highly differentiates OFG through a sales and service business model and culture that emphasizes convenience and accessibility through digital channels while creating a simple, self-service and enjoyable customer experience. OFG strives to proactively identify customer objectives and needs to offer value-added services that help them achieve financial progress and well-being.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Capital Actions
In October 2024, OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $50.0 million stock repurchase program, in addition to the stock repurchase program approved in January 2024. The October stock repurchase program is open-ended. In January 2024, the Board of Directors approved the increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.25 per common share from $0.22 per share, beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and a $50.0 million stock repurchase program. The January stock repurchase program, which is open-ended, replaced the prior stock repurchase approved by the Board of Directors in January 2022, which had $17.2 million remaining of its $100.0 million repurchase parameters. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, OFG repurchased 671,800 shares for a total of $24.4 million at an average price of $36.30 per share.
Economic Conditions
We believe that Puerto Rico’s economy continues to demonstrate resiliency and growth and its private sector, including business investments, is expanding. The Puerto Rico Economic Activity Index, as published by the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico, registered 126.9 points in August 2024, which represents a decrease of 0.8% when compared to the same period of the previous year. However, according to the data published by the Economic Development Bank for Puerto Rico, wages are rising, and labor participation is increasing. Total non-farm payroll employment averaged 963,900 jobs in August 2024, equivalent to an increase of 0.2% on a month-over-month basis, and an annual increase of 1.9%. The inflow of federal stimulus and reconstruction funds for rebuilding infrastructure has continued, and we believe this inflow will stimulate the local economy. Nevertheless, OFG continues to pay attention to the potential impact of interest rate changes, inflation, other economic factors, and global conflicts, all of which could impact our business and results of operations.
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 2023 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 2023 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. As part of OFG’s continuous enhancement to the allowance for credit losses methodology, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, an assessment of the weight of probability scenarios for the US loan segment was performed and updated to use a higher probability level in the moderate recessionary scenario. This change in the allowance for credit losses is considered a change in accounting estimate as per ASC 250-10 provisions, where adjustments should be made prospectively. Apart from the foregoing change, there have been no material changes in the methods that we used to formulate these critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
We believe that the third quarter was another solid quarter of performance for OFG, with EPS-diluted up 5.3% year-over-year on a 1.1% increase in total core revenues. OFG continued to produce consistent, core operating results, and digital adoption of our new and upgraded products, services, and self-service tools keeps steadily growing. We celebrate our 60th anniversary by renewing our commitment to bring progress to our customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities we serve.
Earnings per share diluted of $1.00 compared to $1.08 in the second quarter of 2024 and $0.95 in the third quarter of 2023. Total core revenues of $174.1 million compared to $179.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $172.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Performance metrics: Net interest margin of 5.43%, return on average assets of 1.66%, return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity of 15.94%, and efficiency ratio of 52.60%.
Total Interest Income of $189.0 million compared to $187.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $165.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.4 million, primarily reflecting higher principal balances and yields of investment securities, higher balances of loans, and the absence of a $2.1 million loan recovery on a non-accrual U.S. commercial loan paid in full during the second quarter of 2024.
Total Interest Expense of $41.2 million compared to $40.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 increased $0.8 million, reflecting higher average balances of higher-cost borrowings and brokered deposits and slightly reduced average core deposit balances and cost.
Total Banking and Financial Service Revenues of $26.3 million compared to $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $30.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. The third quarter of 2024 primarily reflected $2.7 million in reduced interchange fees due to the implementation of the Durbin Amendment during the third quarter of 2024, $2.1 million reduced mortgage servicing rights valuation due to lower long-term rates, and $0.3 million revenue from the acquisition in late August 2024 of a $1.7 billion Puerto Rico residential mortgage servicing portfolio.
Pre-Provision Net Revenues of $83.1 million compared to $86.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $82.3 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Total Provision for Credit Losses of $21.4 million compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $16.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. The third quarter of 2024 primarily reflected $18.7 million for increased loan volume; $5.2 million related to the annual update of auto risk drivers and consumer loan loss factors, and the extension of cash flows in a PR commercial loan up for renewal; and a $2.7 million reserve release mainly due to an improved U.S. macroeconomic perspective.
Credit Quality: Net charge-offs of $17.1 million (0.90% of average loans) compared to $15.0 million (0.79%) in the second quarter of 2024 and $18.8 million (1.05%) in the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024 early and total delinquency rates were 2.78% and 4.10%, respectively. The nonperforming loan rate was 1.11%. The third quarter of 2024 total delinquency rate increased sequentially due to booking of the GNMA buy-back option program related to the previously mentioned mortgage servicing portfolio acquisition.
Total Non-Interest Expense of $91.6 million compared to $93.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $90.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. The third quarter of 2024 included a $2.3 million credit and debit card processing business contract renewal rebate and $1.3 million in expenses related to sales of repossessed assets.
Effective Tax Rate (“ETR”) of 23.9% compared to 28.2% in the second quarter of 2024 and 31.9% in the third quarter of 2023. Lower third quarter of 2024 ETR reflected an estimated 2024 ETR of 26.8% due to higher forecasted business activities with preferential tax treatment under the Puerto Rico tax code, coupled with discrete benefits of $3.1 million mainly related to stock vested in the first quarter of 2024 and tax credit purchases.
Loans Held for Investment of $7.75 billion compared to $7.64 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and $7.26 billion in the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 increased 1.5%, reflecting growth in Puerto Rico and U.S. commercial loans and Puerto Rico auto and consumer loans, and regular paydowns and securitization of residential mortgages. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the third quarter of 2024 increased 6.7%.
New Loan Production of $572.2 million compared to $589.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $567.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 production reflected increases in U.S. commercial and Puerto Rico consumer lending originations, and decreases in Puerto Rico commercial and auto lending originations.
Total Investments of $2.61 billion compared to $2.48 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and $2.07 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
Customer Deposits of $9.53 billion compared to $9.60 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and $8.54 billion in the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 reflected increases in savings and time deposits, and lower demand deposits.
Total Borrowings and Brokered Deposits of $346.5 million compared to $201.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $454.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents of $680.6 million compared to $740.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $532.7 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Capital: CET1 ratio was 14.37% compared to 14.29% in the second quarter of 2024 and 14.06% in the third quarter of 2023. The Tangible Common Equity ratio was 10.72% compared to 10.09% in the second quarter of 2024 and 9.74% in the third quarter of 2023. Tangible Book Value of $26.15 per share compared to $24.18 in the second quarter of 2024 and $21.01 in the third quarter of 2023.

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, 2024 and 2023
Net interest income of $147.9 million increased $6.1 million from $141.8 million. Tax equivalent basis net interest income of $153.2 million increased $7.9 million, or 5.5%, from $145.2 million.
Interest rate spread decreased 43 basis points to 5.28% from 5.71% and net interest margin decreased 37 basis points to 5.43% from 5.80%.
Net interest income was positively impacted by:
•A $12.3 million increase in interest income from loans, primarily driven by: (i) higher interest income of $7.0 million from auto loans, mainly due to an increase in the average balance of this portfolio by $281.6 million from new loans originated; (ii) higher interest income of $5.1 million from commercial loans, reflecting the upward repricing of variable rate loans and increased yields on new loans originated during 2024; and (iii) higher interest income of $1.6 million from consumer loans, mainly due to an increase in the average balance of this portfolio by $50.9 million. These increases were partially offset by lower interest income of $1.4 million from residential mortgage loans, reflecting a decrease in the average balance of this portfolio by $129.8 million, mainly from regular paydowns and the securitization and sale of conforming loans; and
•A $11.7 million increase in interest income from investments securities, primarily due to the acquisition of higher-yield investment securities during 2024 and late 2023. It reflects higher yield by 90 basis points, which contributed to an increase in interest income of approximately $5.3 million and higher average volume of $742.0 million, resulting in an increase in interest income of approximately $6.4 million.
These increases were offset by higher interest expense of $17.2 million, $17.5 million from deposits due to higher average cost of 63 basis points, reflecting a $1.2 billion deposit from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client received in December 2023 with a variable interest rate.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Net interest income of $439.3 million increased by $22.0 million from $417.3 million. Tax equivalent basis net interest income of $452.3 million increased $23.0 million, or 5.4%, from $429.3 million.
Interest rate spread decreased by 48 basis points to 5.30% from 5.78% and net interest margin decreased 41 basis points to 5.44% from 5.85%. This reflects a an increase of 32 and 80 basis points, respectively, in the total average yield of interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income was positively impacted by:
•A $52.3 million increase in interest income from loans driven by higher interest income from: (i) commercial loans of $28.4 million, primarily related to the upward repricing of variable rate commercial loans, increased yields on new loans originated during 2024, and higher average balance; (ii) auto loans of $23.3 million reflecting higher originations during 2024; and (iii) consumer loans of $5.8 million mainly due to an increase of $60.1 million in the average balance of this portfolio. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.2 million in interest income from mortgage loans due to a reduction of $136.2 million in the average balance of this portfolio, mainly from regular paydowns and the securitization and sale of conforming loans; and
•A $34.5 million increase in interest income from investment securities, primarily due to the acquisition of higher-yield investment securities during 2024 and late 2023. Purchases contributed to higher average volume of $698.0 million, which resulted in an increase in interest income of $17.5 million, and higher yield by 98 basis points, which contributed to the increase in net interest income of $17.1 million.
These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense of $65.5 million from interest paid on: (i) deposits of $63.7 million due to higher average cost of total deposits of 80 basis points, reflecting a $1.2 billion deposit from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client received in December 2023 with a variable interest rate, and (ii) borrowings of $1.7 million reflecting FHLB advances taken in late 2023 and in the third quarter of 2024.

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 or losses on sales of assets.
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
OFG recorded non-interest income, net, in the amount of $26.9 million, compared to $30.7 million, a decrease of 12.5%, or $3.8 million. The decrease in non-interest income was mainly due to the net effect of:
•A $3.1 million decrease in mortgage banking activities mainly from: (i) $2.1 million unfavorable impact in mortgage servicing rights valuation due to lower long-term rates and (ii) lower gains of $390 thousand on repurchased loan sales in the current quarter, offset by higher servicing fees of $467 thousand, mainly from the acquisition in late August 2024 of a $1.7 billion Puerto Rico residential mortgage servicing portfolio; and
•A $1.7 million decrease in banking service revenues related to: (i) $2.7 million in reduced interchange fees mainly due to the implementation of Durbin Amendment that took effect during the current quarter, offset by higher merchant income of $417 thousand resulting from higher transactionality and migration of USVI merchant activity.
These decreases were offset by a $758 thousand increase in wealth management revenue primarily reflecting: (i) $304 thousand increase in broker-dealer fees related to higher market asset values and investment advisory service fees and (ii) $372 thousand increase in insurance income related to annuities and reinsurance income of $235 thousand and $121 thousand, respectively.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
OFG's non-interest income remained constant at $89.7 million.
Non-interest income was mainly impacted by the following increases:
•A $2.0 million increase in wealth management revenue primarily reflecting: (i) $863 thousand increase in broker-dealer fees related to higher market values of assets and investments advisory services fees, (ii) $821 thousand increase in insurance income related to $422 thousand from reinsurance income and $355 thousand in annuities income and (iii) an increase in trust fees of $342 thousand due to higher trustee-only fees.
•A $1.1 million loss associated with the sale of a $149.4 million short-term US treasury note available for sale during the prior period.
These increases were offset by:
•A $2.7 million decrease in mortgage banking activities mainly from: (i) unfavorable impact in mortgage servicing rights valuation due to lower long-term rates of $1.9 million, (ii) lower gains on repurchased loan sales in the current quarter of $321 thousand and (iii) lower servicing fees of $121 thousand due to less cash collections.
•A $662 thousand decrease in banking service revenues mainly due to lower fees on deposits of $656 thousand from lower maintenance and overdrawn fees and higher waived fees.

Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Non-interest expense was $91.6 million, representing an increase of 1.6% or $1.4 million, compared to $90.2 million. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to:
•Increase of $1.3 million in foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets expenses, net of income, due to unfavorable valuation adjustments and lower gain on sale of foreclosed real estate due to lower volume of properties sold;
•Increase of $388 thousand in insurance expenses related to higher FDIC deposit insurance assessment expense as a result of the Bank exceeding $10 billion in assets;
•Increase of $373 thousand in compensation and employee benefits, as a result of higher salaries and benefits, including payroll taxes; and
•Increase of $335 thousand in taxes, other than payroll and income taxes related to higher municipal taxes recorded during the quarter.
These increases were partially offset by:
• Decrease of $1.4 million in electronic banking charges mainly due to the recognition of a $2.3 million rebate received during the quarter, offset by increases of $964 thousand in point-of-sale and merchant-related fees due to increased transaction volumes.
The efficiency ratio was 52.60% compared to 52.36%. 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, 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 were excluded from the adjusted efficiency ratio computation for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $597 thousand and $295 thousand, respectively.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Non-interest expense was $276.0 million, representing an increase of 2.5%, or $6.7 million, compared to $269.3 million. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to:
•Increase of $2.8 million in foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets expenses, net of income, due to unfavorable valuation adjustments and lower gain on sale of foreclosed real estate due to lower volume of properties sold;
•Increase in compensation and employee benefits of $2.3 million due to higher salaries and benefits, including payroll taxes;
•Increase in advertising, business promotion, and strategic initiatives of $989 thousand due to higher expenses related to digital adoption strategy;
•Increase of $628 thousand in other expenses, primarily driven by a $993 thousand accrual recorded during the current period related to regulatory examinations, partially offset by lower charitable contributions of $532 thousand; and
•Increase of $576 thousand in insurance expenses related to higher FDIC deposit insurance assessment expense as a result of the Bank exceeding $10 billion in assets.
The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by, a decrease in professional and service fees of $1.1 million, reflecting lower balances in compliance-related expenses.
The efficiency ratio was 52.30%, an improvement from 53.10%. Amounts presented as part of non-interest income that were excluded from the efficiency ratio computation for nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $1.3 million and $121 thousand, respectively.
Provision for Credit Losses
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Provision for credit losses increased by $4.9 million to $21.4 million from $16.4 million. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, reflected a provision of $18.7 million related to the growth in loan balances, $5.2 million related to the annual update of auto risk drivers and consumer loan loss factors, and the extension of cash flows in a Puerto Rico commercial loan up for renewal and a $2.7 million reserve release mainly due to an improved U.S. macroeconomic perspective. The provision for credit losses for the for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 reflected a provision of $11.4 million related to the growth in loan balances, $4.1 million associated with qualitative adjustments, mostly to the auto portfolio, and $702 thousand related to a specific reserve for the sale of a small portfolio of non-performing Puerto Rico small business commercial loans transferred to held for sale at the end of the quarter.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Provision for credit losses increased $11.1 million to $52.1 million from $40.9 million. The provision for credit losses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, reflected adjustments of $45.2 million related to loan volume, $14.7 million from loss rate model and $4.2 million in specific reserves, offset by a $7.5 million release from the economic model. The provision for credit losses for 2023 reflected a provision of $23.8 million related to the growth in loan balances, a provision of $14.7 million related to commercial specific loan reserves, mainly in the US commercial loan portfolio, and $5.1 million
associated with qualitative adjustment, partially offset by releases of $3.2 million for changes in the economic and loss rate models.
Business Segments
OFG segregates its businesses into the following 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, 2024 and 2023.

Eliminations include interest income and expense for a time deposit opened by the Bank in Oriental Overseas, an international banking entity organized and licensed under Puerto Rico law, which operates as a unit within the Bank. The time deposit with a balance of $277.4 million and $308.9 million at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to fund Oriental Overseas operations is included in the Treasury Segment with its corresponding interest expense, and the related interest income is included in the Banking Segment, and are eliminated in the consolidation. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The decrease in interest income and interest expense from the prior year period was mainly as a result of lower interest rate and average balance.
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Banking
OFG’s banking segment net income before taxes decreased by $17.5 million from $46.8 million to $29.3 million, mainly due to:
•Increase of $17.3 million in interest expense primarily related to an increase in the average cost of deposits, reflecting a $1.2 billion deposit from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client received in December 2023 with a variable interest rate;
•Increase of $5.1 million in provision for credit losses, mainly due to growth in loan balances;
•Decrease of $4.1 million in non-interest income primarily related to lower interchange fees of $2.7 million due to the implementation of Durbin Amendment and $2.1 million in unfavorable mortgage servicing rights valuation; and
•Decrease of $2.8 million in interest income related to Oriental Overseas’ time deposit from the Bank to fund its operations, eliminated in the consolidation, mainly as a result of lower interest rates and average balance in the current period.
The decrease in the banking segment’s net income before taxes was partially offset by:
•Increase of $10.3 million in interest income from loans, driven by increased yields on higher balances.
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 increase slightly from $3.4 million to $3.5 million, mainly from higher reinsurance and annuities income by $380 thousand.
Treasury
Treasury segment net income before taxes increased by $13.3 million, mainly reflecting an increase in interest income from the purchases of higher-yield investment securities during 2024 and late 2023 and lower interest expense associated with inter-segment borrowing as a result of lower average balance.
Comparison of nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Banking
OFG’s banking segment net income before taxes decreased by $36.7 million from $143.4 million to $106.7 million, mainly due to:
•Increase of $62.6 million in interest expense mainly related to higher costs of deposits, reflecting a $1.2 billion deposit from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client received in December 2023 with a variable interest rate;
•Increase of $11.4 million in provision for credit losses, mainly due to growth in loan balances;
•Decrease of $10.2 million in interest income related to Oriental Overseas’ time deposit from the Bank to fund its operations, which is eliminated in the consolidation, mainly as a result of lower interest rates and average balance in the current period; and
•Increase of $5.5 million in non-interest expenses, mainly due to: (i) $2.8 million increase in foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets expenses, net of income, due to unfavorable valuation adjustments and lower gain on sale of foreclosed real estate from decrease in sales volume; (ii) increase in compensation and employee benefits of $2.3 million due to higher salaries and benefits, including payroll taxes; (iii) increase in advertising, business promotion, and strategic initiatives of $989 thousand due to higher expenses related to digital adoption strategy, partially offset by lower: professional and service fees of $1.1 million, reflecting lower balances in compliance-related expenses.
The decrease in the banking segment’s net income was partially offset by:
•Increase of $52.3 million in interest income from loans, driven by increased yields on higher loan balances.
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 decreased from $9.7 million to $8.9 million, mainly from higher salaries and employee benefits of $758 thousand.
Treasury
Treasury segment net income before taxes increased by $41.6 million, mainly reflecting:
•Increase of $32.7 million in interest income, reflecting the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities and US Treasury securities with higher yields during such period; and
•Decrease of $7.4 million in interest expense, reflecting $10.2 million lower inter-segment borrowings as a result of lower average balances, offset by a $1.7 million increase from FHLB advances taken in late 2023 and the third quarter of 2024 as part of OFG’s asset liability management strategies.
Income Tax Expense
Comparison of quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $6.2 million to $14.8 million from $21.0 million. OFG maintained an effective tax rate (“ETR”) lower than the statutory rate for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 of 23.9% and 31.9%, respectively. The current quarter reflected expected 2024 ETR of 26.8% due to higher forecasted business activities with preferential tax treatment under the Puerto Rico tax code, coupled with discrete benefits of $3.1 million mainly related to stock vested during the first quarter of 2024 and tax credit purchases.
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Income tax expense decreased by $8.4 million to $53.1 million from $61.5 million. OFG’s ETR was 26.4% in 2024 compared to 31.3% in 2023. The decrease is mainly related to higher actual and forecasted business activities with preferential tax treatment under the Puerto Rico tax code, coupled with discrete benefits of $3.1 million mainly related to stock vested during the first quarter of 2024 and tax credit purchases during the period.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets Owned
At September 30, 2024, OFG’s total assets amounted to $11.461 billion, a increase of $116.9 million, when compared to $11.344 billion at December 31, 2023.
Cash and due from banks decreased by $68.8 million to $674.7 million, reflecting the effect of loan funding and lower deposit balances.
The investment portfolio decreased by $78.2 million or 2.9% primarily driven by the maturity of $901.7 million in US Treasury securities, principal paydowns of $208.1 million, mainly on mortgage-backed securities, and the sale of $149.4 million of US Treasury securities available-for-sale. These decreases were offset by $1.070 billion new available-for-sale US Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, and $55.7 million in mortgage loan securitization. OFG’s investment strategy focuses on liquidity and highly liquid securities, considering their investment and the current market environment.
OFG’s loan portfolio is comprised of commercial loans secured by real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, commercial US loans, residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, and auto loans. At September 30, 2024, OFG’s net loan portfolio increased by $203.1 million or 2.7% reflecting increases in commercial, retail auto and consumer loans, partially offset by regular paydowns and securitization of residential mortgage loans.
Financial Assets Managed
At September 30, 2024, OFG’s financial assets include those managed by OFG’s trust division and its securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries. OFG’s trust division offers various types of individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and manages Keogh retirement plans and custodian and corporate trust accounts. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total assets managed by OFG’s trust division amounted to $2.300 billion and $2.512 billion, respectively. 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, 2024, total assets managed by the securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries from their customers’ investment accounts amounted to $2.254 billion, compared to $2.446 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease in trust and broker-dealer related assets reflects the termination of services by a retirement plan customer during the second quarter of 2024.
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 both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG had $84.2 million of goodwill allocated as follows: $84.1 million to the banking segment and $100 thousand to the wealth management segment. Please refer to “Note 8 – 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 commercial, mortgage, consumer, and auto loans. As shown in Table 6 above, total loans, net, amounted to $7.605 billion at September 30, 2024, a 2.7% increase when compared to $7.402 billion at December 31, 2023. The composition and trends of OFG’s loans held-for-investment portfolio were as follows:
•Commercial loan portfolio amounted to $3.118 billion (40.2% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $3.077 billion (40.8% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2023, a 1.3% increase as a result of originations and credit lines usage during 2024. Commercial loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate amounted to $800.9 million and $744.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which represented 10.3% and 9.9% of our total gross loan portfolio held for investment. Commercial US loans amounted to $680.4 million and $755.2 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which represented 8.8% and 10.0% of our total gross loan portfolio held for investment.
Commercial loan production decreased by 2% or $3.4 million to $217.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $220.4 million in the prior year quarter, and decreased 17% or $130.3 million to $640.0 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 from $770.4 million for the same period of 2023, mainly in the commercial US loan portfolio. Commercial US loans activities include the purchase of middle market senior secured cash flow loan participations and the purchase of participations of loans to small and medium sized businesses. Excluding commercial US loans activities, commercial PR loan production slightly decreased 0.2% to $149.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $150.1 million in the prior year quarter, and increased 13.8% to $528.4 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 from $464.2 million for the same period in of 2023.
•Mortgage loan portfolio amounted to $1.484 billion (19.1% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $1.563 billion (20.7% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2023, a 5.1% decrease resulting from regular paydowns of residential mortgages and securitization of conforming loans into mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage loans included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program amounting to $41.8 million and $19.4 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, OFG acquired the servicing rights of a $1.7 billion mortgage loan portfolio that was being subserviced by the Bank. Defaulted loans under the GNMA buy-back option program corresponding to this servicing portfolio amounted to $24.2 million at September 30, 2024. 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 $37.1 million and $107.8 million in the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which represents an increase of 11% and 8.2%, respectively, from $33.3 million and $99.6 million for the same periods in 2023.
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 US mortgage loan originators. Furthermore, OFG has never been active in negative amortization loans or offered adjustable-rate mortgage loans with teaser rates.
•Consumer loan portfolio amounted to $664.3 million (8.6% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $620.4 million (8.2% of the gross loan portfolio) at December 31, 2023. Consumer loan production increased by 13% to $86.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $76.5 million in the prior year quarter, and decreased by 6%, or $14.3 million to $235.5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 from $249.8 million in the same period in 2023.
•Auto loans portfolio amounted to $2.484 billion (32.1% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to $2.274 billion (30.3% of the gross originated loan portfolio) at December 31, 2023. Auto loans production decreased by 2% to $231.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $237.3 million in the prior year quarter, and increased by 3% or $18.6 million to $714.5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 from $695.9 million in the same period of 2023.

At September 30, 2024, OFG has $66.2 million of direct credit exposure to the Puerto Rico government, a $2.3 million decrease from $68.6 million at December 31, 2023.
Allowance for Credit Losses
OFG measures its ACL based on management’s best estimate of expected credit losses inherent in OFG’s relevant financial assets. Tables 8 through 11 set forth an analysis of activity in the ACL and present selected credit loss statistics for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition, Table 6 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 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and “Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses” of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a more detailed analysis of provisions and ACL.
Non-performing Assets
OFG’s non-performing assets include non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate, and other repossessed assets (see Tables 12 and 14). At September 30, 2024, OFG had $74.7 million of non-accrual loans held for investment, including $4.2 million PCD loans, compared to $79.4 million at December 31, 2023, reflecting decreases of $2.5 million and $2.1 million in commercial and auto loan portfolios, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, total past due loans exclude $6.4 million of past due commercial loans held-for-sale, these loans were sold during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. There were no past due commercial loans held-for-sale as of September 30, 2024.
On January 1, 2023, OFG adopted ASU 2022-02 related to the elimination of the recognition and measurement of TDRs and the enhancement of disclosures for loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty using the prospective transition method. Loans that were restructured in a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 will continue to be accounted for under the historical TDR accounting until the relevant loans are paid off, liquidated or subsequently modified.
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. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of these residential mortgage loans was $4.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2024, OFG’s non-performing assets decreased by 9.0% to $91.0 million (0.79% total assets) from $100.0 million (0.88% of total assets) at December 31, 2023, mainly non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate.
Foreclosed real estate decreased from $10.8 million at December 31, 2023 to $4.4 million at September 30, 2024 and other repossessed assets increased from $4.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $7.0 million at September 30, 2024, both recorded at fair value. OFG does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses. At September 30, 2024, the allowance coverage ratio to non-performing loans was 202.9% (189.1% at December 31, 2023).
Upon adoption of the 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 non-accrual or accrual status is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level. The ACL 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.
The following items comprise non-performing loans held for investment, including Non-PCD and PCDs:
Commercial loans - At September 30, 2024, OFG’s non-performing commercial loans amounted to $40.0 million (50.3% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 5.9% decrease from $42.5 million at December 31, 2023 (49.9% 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, 2024, OFG’s non-performing mortgage loans totaled $19.0 million (23.8% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 6.4% decrease from $20.3 million (23.8% of OFG’s non-performing loans) at December 31, 2023. 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, 2024, OFG’s non-performing consumer loans amounted to $3.6 million (4.6% of OFG’s non-performing loans), a 7.4% increase from $3.4 million at December 31, 2023 (4.0% of OFG’s non-performing loans). 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 - At September 30, 2024, OFG’s non-performing auto loans amounted to $17.0 million (21.3% of OFG’s total non-performing loans), a decrease of 10.9% from $19.1 million at December 31, 2023 (22.3% of OFG’s total non-performing loans). Non-PCD auto loans 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 the loan modification. Borrowers with discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcies may also apply. Loans in these programs are evaluated by designated credit underwriters for financial difficulty modification if OFG grants a concession for legal or economic reasons due to the debtor’s financial difficulties.

Liabilities and Funding Sources
As shown in Table 15 above, at September 30, 2024, OFG’s total liabilities were $10.143 billion, 0.1% lower than the $10.151 billion reported at December 31, 2023. Deposits and borrowings, OFG’s funding sources, amounted to $9.879 billion at September 30, 2024 compared to $9.963 billion at December 31, 2023. Deposits, excluding accrued interest payable, decreased by $152.6 million or 1.6% reflecting a decrease in demand deposits of $190.6 million, brokered deposits of $86.5 million and savings and money market accounts of $68.3 million, offset by an increase in time deposits of $191.9 million. Excluding public fund deposits, retail and commercial deposits decreased $38.7 million and $30.2 million, respectively.
In December 2023, OFG received a $1.2 billion deposit in an interest-bearing checking account from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client who had an inflow of liquidity. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total public fund deposits from various Puerto Rico government municipalities, agencies and corporations amounted to $1.574 billion and $1.616 billion, respectively. These public funds were collateralized with securities and commercial loans amounting to $1.672 billion and $1.645 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, borrowings consist of short and long term FHLB advances amounting to $270.8 million. Borrowings increased by $70.1 million or 34.9% from December 31, 2023 reflecting new FHLB advances taken during the third quarter of 2024 as part of OFG’s asset liability management strategies.
Stockholders’ Equity
At September 30, 2024, OFG’s total stockholders’ equity was $1.318 billion, a 10.4% increase when compared to $1.193 billion at December 31, 2023. This increase reflects an increase in retained earnings of $98.5 million and legal surplus of $14.0 million, mainly due to $147.8 million in net income, partially offset by $35.3 million in common stock dividends. These variances were partially offset by $22.7 million from higher treasury stock as a result of repurchases of common stock in the aggregate amount of $24.4 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 in connection with the $50 million stock buy back program announced in January 2024, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $34.0 million from favorable market value adjustments on available-for-sale investment securities.
Regulatory Capital
OFG and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the FRB 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, 2024, 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 ACL (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 are being phased out of CET1 capital over a three-year period.
The risk-based capital ratios presented in Table 16 include CET1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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, dividends, and stock data, including capital ratios under the Basel III capital rules at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

From December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024, leverage capital ratio increased from 11.03% to 11.12%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and common equity tier 1 capital ratio increased from 14.12% to 14.37%, total risk-based capital ratio increased from 15.37% to 15.63%, and tangible common equity to tangible total assets increased from 9.68% to 10.72%. The increases in regulatory capital ratios reflected an increase in retained earnings from net income, net of dividends, CECL transition and stock repurchases, partially offset by an increase in risk-weighted assets of $454.4 million. Risk-weighted assets increased mainly due to an increase in loans and other assets.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets 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 to tangible assets 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 2024, OFG announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program for the purchase of up to $50 million. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, OFG repurchased 671,800 shares for a total of $24.4 million at an average price of $36.30 per share. Under the prior stock repurchase program, OFG repurchased 743,699 shares for a total of $18.7 million at an average price of $25.08 per share during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program.
At September 30, 2024, the estimated remaining number of shares that may be purchased under the $50 million program is 570,223 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $25.6 million by $44.92 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at September 30, 2024).
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 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 discussed in greater detail 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 of interest rate 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 ALT which is composed of certain executive officers from the risk management, 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.
In March 2023, the market reacted with volatility as a result of the collapse of three large US regional banks, which became the biggest bank failures since 2008, after they experienced a run on deposits mainly driven by a significant decrease in the value of their investments. Market reactions to recession concerns and inflationary pressure, combined with aggressive interest rate increases as part of the FRB’s efforts to control inflation during 2022 and 2023, had a significant impact on bond prices, including those guaranteed by the US government or by a US government-sponsored entity. Nevertheless, we believe that OFG has strong capital and liquidity levels that facilitate holding securities until the recovery of their amortized cost basis. We also believe that our market risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market volatility over time and remained strong under these conditions. After the events triggered by such bank failures, our customer deposits base has increased. However, total core deposits at September 30, 2024 were $9.533 billion, down slightly from $9.600 billion at December 31, 2023. The FDIC covers up to $250,000 per account owner by ownership category for retail and commercial deposit accounts. This coverage extends to both principal and accrued interest while the account balance remains within the limits. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of our uninsured deposits was $5.005 billion and $4.885 billion, respectively. We have $1.574 billion of deposits from the Puerto Rico government, its instrumentalities and municipalities, which represents 16% of our total deposits as of September 30, 2024, mainly from a $1.2 billion deposit received in December 2023, as we continue to build and strengthen our customer relationships. We have renewed the agreement for the $1.2 billion deposit into an interest-bearing checking account from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client through mid-November 2024. These public funds are collateralized with securities and commercial loans amounting to $1.672 billion and $1.645 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The amount of these deposits may fluctuate depending on the financial condition and liquidity of these entities, as well as on our ability to maintain these customer relationships. We believe that our clients are confident in the resiliency and strong position of the Bank.
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 created 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 help manage OFG’s 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, 2024. 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.

'-200 Basis points | $ | (31,547) | | | (5.25) | % | | $ | (13,641) | | | (2.27) | % |
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 will 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 any structured repurchase agreements 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 included 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. At September 30, 2024, OFG did not have derivative instruments.
Since 2023, OFG has redeployed its high cash levels and maturing treasury positions into longer-term mortgage-backed securities. These moves position OFG’s balance sheet better for the expected lower interest rate environment in the last quarter of 2024.
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 demonstrated by hurricanes and earthquakes in the past, 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 Risk Officer, Chief Credit 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. Liquidity to support growth in loans held for investment has been fulfilled primarily through growth in customer deposits. OFG’s goal is to obtain as much of its funding for loans held for investment and other earning assets as possible from customer deposits, which are generated principally through development of long-term customer relationships. In December 2023, OFG received a $1.2 billion deposit in an interest-bearing checking account from an existing long-standing Puerto Rico government client who had an isolated inflow of liquidity resulting in a total of $1.574 billion and $1.616 billion deposits from the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. OFG is not relying on this deposit as part its long-term funding management strategies, even though these funds could remain in the Bank for a longer period. Deposit volumes as well as the customer deposit base, excluding the Puerto Rico government deposit mentioned above, have remained stable. 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, brokered deposits, and subordinated notes, but depending on its assets and liabilities management strategies, it could use them in the future.
In the ordinary course of OFG’s operations, it has entered into certain contractual obligations and has made other commitments to make future payments. OFG believes that it will be able to meet its contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. 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 $1.398 billion at September 30, 2024 ($157.2 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.240 billion with maturity over one year) compared to $1.256 billion at December 31, 2023 ($111.4 million with maturity of one year or less and $1.144 billion with maturity over one year) as a result of seasonal paydowns of commercial lines of credit, and standby letters of credit provided to customers amounted to $23.9 million and $24.0 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Loans sold with recourse at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amounted to $92.6 million and $98.7 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, 2024, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by OFG under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $4.5 million (December 31, 2023 - $4.2 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.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG maintained other non-credit commitments amounting to $17.4 million and $18.9 million, primarily for the acquisition of other investments. Most of these investment funds have a five-year investment period expiring on or before November 2027. 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 integrated at our long-term financial plan 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OFG had commitments for capital expenditures in technology amounting to $1.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, which are expected to be satisfied with OFG’s unrestricted cash.
OFG expects to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. Our liquidity risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market volatility in the past, as with the Covid-19 pandemic and the disruption in the banking industry caused by certain high-profile bank failures in 2023. Liquidity has grown from the federal stimulus programs Puerto Rico has received following Hurricane Maria in 2017, the January 2020 earthquakes, the Covid-19 pandemic, and 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, recent geopolitical events, and recessionary risk in the US, we continue monitoring our liquidity position, specifically cash on hand to meet customer demands.
In addition, as OFG is a holding company, separate from the Bank, OFG’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends received from the Bank and borrowings from outside sources. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. Management believes that these limitations will not impact OFG’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term cash obligations.
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 or US 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, 2024, OFG had approximately $680.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $921.7 million in investment securities that are not pledged as collateral, $402.8 million in borrowing capacity at the FHLB and a secured line of credit through the FRB discount window with $2.076 billion in loans pledged (borrowing capacity $1.601 billion).
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 also maintains a cybersecurity risk management framework in place to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats. Refer to “Item 1C. Cybersecurity” in our 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion on OFG’s cybersecurity risk management framework.
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, Legal and Corporate Compliance, Information Technology, and Operations. These groups assist our lines of business in the development and implementation of risk management practices specific to the needs of our business groups. All these matters are reviewed and discussed by 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 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 the General Counsel who reports to the Chief Executive Officer and supervises the BSA Officer and Corporate Compliance Director. The General Counsel 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.
As a result of the 2023 bank failures, regulatory agencies may propose certain actions, including reforms to existing regulatory and prudential frameworks that may impose different capital and liquidity requirements, including increased requirements to issue debt or raise capital. In November 2023, the FDIC finalized a rule to recover losses to the FDIC deposit insurance fund as a result of the bank failures. Under the rule, the FDIC will collect a special assessment based on a calculation using an insured depository institution’s estimated amount of uninsured deposits. In particular, the special assessment was imposed on insured depository institutions based on their estimated uninsured deposits in excess of $5 billion at December 31, 2022. Given that OFG had uninsured deposits under $5 billion, this special assessment did not apply to us. However, in the future there may be additional special assessments imposed on insured depository institutions that may apply to us. It is not yet possible to quantify the scope of any of these actions or the potential impact on our operations.
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, 2024, 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
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K, except as set forth in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In addition to other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the risk factors included in our 2023 Form 10-K, as updated by this report or other filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to OFG at this time or OFG currently deems immaterial may also adversely affect OFG’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In January 2024, OFG’s Board of Directors approved a new $50.0 million stock repurchase program. The new stock repurchase program, which is open-ended, replaces the prior stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in January 2022, which had $17.2 million remaining of its $100.0 million repurchase parameters. 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. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, OFG repurchased 2,600 shares for a total of $104 thousand at an average price of $40.02 per share.
The table below sets forth the information with respect to purchases of our common stock made by or on behalf of OFG during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, excluding the months of July and September during which no shares were repurchased as part of the stock repurchase program:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Period | | Total number of shares purchased | | Average price paid per share | | Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced programs | | Maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the programs |
| | (In thousands, except per share data) |
| | | | | | | | |
8/1/2024 - 8/31/2024 | | 2,600 | | | 40.02 | | | 2,600 | | | 25,614 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | 2,600 | | | $ | 40.02 | | | 2,600 | | | $ | 25,614 | |
The estimated remaining number of shares that may be purchased under the current $50 million stock buyback program is estimated at 570,223 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $25.6 million by $44.92 (closing price of OFG common stock at September 30, 2024). OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program.
