AI 繁中摘要
First BanCorp. (NYSE: FBP) 今日透過 8-K 申報公佈 2026 年第二季(截至 6 月 30 日)業績,表現強勁。淨收入達 9,610 萬美元(攤薄每股 0.62 美元),較首季增長 8.3%,較去年同期大增 19.9%。調整後稅前預撥備收入創紀錄達 1.375 億美元,反映核心盈利能力持續提升 🚀。
關鍵營運亮點:
- 淨利息收入增至 2.291 億美元,淨息差擴闊至 4.87%(首季 4.75%),受惠於貸款組合重新定價及資金成本受控。
- 貸款總額較首季增加 1.688 億美元至 133 億美元,主要由波多黎各商業及工業貸款帶動,新造貸款達 17 億美元,按年升 21%。
- 信貸質素保持穩健:年化淨撇賬率降至 0.49%(首季 0.65%),但不良貸款因佛羅里達一筆 C&I 關係遷移至非應計狀態而增加至 9,460 萬美元。管理層正密切監測消費貸款逾期趨勢。
- 非利息收入 3,570 萬美元,略低於首季,主因季節性保險佣金減少,惟信用卡交易收入上升。
- 資本實力雄厚:普通股權一級資本比率達 16.96%,遠超監管要求。期內回購 5,000 萬美元股份及派發 3,100 萬美元股息,相當於回報股東 84% 盈利。
管理層表示,上半年創下公司史上最強勁及最持續的表現,貸款增長動力加快,並對全年增長目標充滿信心。同時,集團維持審慎資本管理,並將持續投資於數碼化及客戶體驗。
對投資者而言,此份成績單顯示 First BanCorp. 在波多黎各及佛羅里達市場的息差優勢與貸款動能持續,惟需關注消費貸款逾期上升及單一大型企業貸款遷移對信貸成本的潛在影響。

EX-99.1 2 exhibit991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 exhibit991 Exhibit 99.1 FIRST BANCORP. ANNOUNCES EARNINGS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – July 22, 2026 – First BanCorp. (the “Corporation” or “First BanCorp.”) (NYSE: FBP), the bank holding company for FirstBank Puerto Rico (“FirstBank” or “the Bank”), today reported a net income of $96.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $88.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, and $80.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Aurelio Alemán, President and Chief Executive Officer of First BanCorp, commented: “We concluded the first half of the year with another quarter of strong financial and operating performance, delivering growth across our franchise while continuing to generate attractive returns for shareholders. Adjusted pre-tax, pre- provision income reached a record of $137.5 million, earnings per share increased 24% compared to the prior year, and return on average assets was 2.02%, marking our 18th consecutive quarter above 1.5%. By many measures, this represents the strongest and most consistent period of performance in our company’s history. This achievement reflects the trust our customers place in us, as well as the dedication, discipline, and execution demonstrated by our teams across the organization. Loan growth accelerated during the quarter, driven primarily by commercial activity in Puerto Rico, with total loan originations reaching $1.7 billion, an increase of 21% year over year. These encouraging trends, combined with a healthy pipeline of opportunities, reinforce our path to achieve our full-year growth objectives. Credit quality remained sound, with lower net charge-offs and non- performing assets remaining near historic lows, while we continue to closely monitor seasonal delinquency trends and broader consumer market conditions. We remain firmly committed to prudent capital management. During the quarter, we returned 84% of earnings to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining a top-quartile CET1 ratio of 16.96%. Our strong capital position enables us to continue investing strategically in our franchise to enhance competitiveness, strengthen the customers’ experience, and support sustainable long-term growth. While we remain mindful of an evolving economic environment, the strength of our franchise, combined with disciplined execution, positions us well to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders, customers, employees, and communities.” (In thousands) Q2 '26 Q1 '26 Q2 '25 YTD '26 YTD '25 Financial Highlights Net interest income $ 229,131 $ 220,956 $ 215,859 $ 450,087 $ 428,256 Provision for credit losses 17,333 17,273 20,587 34,606 45,397 Non-interest income 35,732 37,685 30,950 73,417 66,684 Non-interest expenses 127,324 127,105 123,337 254,429 246,359 Income before income taxes 120,206 114,263 102,885 234,469 203,184 Income tax expense 24,052 25,485 22,705 49,537 45,945 Net income $ 96,154 $ 88,778 $ 80,180 $ 184,932 $ 157,239 Selected Financial Data Net interest margin 4.87% 4.75% 4.56% 4.81% 4.54% Efficiency ratio 48.07% 49.14% 49.97% 48.60% 49.78% Diluted earnings per share $ 0.62 $ 0.57 $ 0.50 $ 1.19 $ 0.97 Book value per share $ 12.95 $ 12.72 $ 11.43 $ 12.95 $ 11.43 Tangible book value per share (1) $ 12.68 $ 12.45 $ 11.16 $ 12.68 $ 11.16 Return on average equity 19.49% 17.92% 17.79% 18.70% 17.85% Return on average assets 2.02% 1.89% 1.69% 1.95% 1.66% Results for the Second Quarter of 2026 compared to the First Quarter of 2026 Profitability Net income – $96.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share compared to $88.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share. Income before income taxes – $120.2 million compared to $114.3 million. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income (Non-GAAP) (1) – $137.5 million compared to $131.4 million. Net interest income – $229.1 million compared to $221.0 million. The increase was driven by approximately $1.6 million in net interest income attributable to an additional day in the second quarter of 2026, $3.4 million in interest income resulting from the acceleration of the unamortized purchase discount and net deferred fees associated with refinancings in the Puerto Rico region during the second quarter of 2026, which contributed approximately 7 basis points to the increase in net interest margin, as well as the continued deployment of cash flows from lower- yielding investment securities to higher-yielding assets. Net interest margin increased to 4.87% compared to 4.75%. Provision for credit losses – remained flat at $17.3 million when compared to the previous quarter. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2026 reflected a lower benefit from macroeconomic factors than in the previous quarter and higher loan growth, partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in net charge-offs. Non-interest income – $35.7 million compared to $37.7 million. The decrease was mainly due to $3.6 million in seasonal contingent insurance commissions recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Non-interest expenses – remained relatively flat at $127.3 million compared to $127.1 million in the previous quarter. Income tax expense – $24.1 million compared to $25.5 million, mainly due to a lower estimated annual effective tax rate, partially offset by higher pre-tax income. Balance Sheet Total loans – increased by $168.8 million to $13.3 billion, driven by commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loan growth in the Puerto Rico region. Total loan originations of $1.7 billion, up $469.5 million, mainly in commercial and construction loans. Government deposits (fully collateralized) – increased by $167.7 million to $3.0 billion, mainly in the Puerto Rico region. Brokered certificates of deposits (“CDs”) – increased by $87.7 million to $594.8 million in the Florida region. Core deposits (other than brokered and government deposits) – increased by $18.3 million to $13.2 billion. Asset Quality Allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) coverage ratio – amounted to 1.85% compared to 1.87%. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans ratio decreased to 0.49% compared to 0.65%, primarily reflecting a $4.7 million reduction in consumer loans and finance leases net charge-offs, mainly in the auto loan portfolio. Non-performing loans – increased by $6.8 million to $94.6 million, driven by the migration of a $14.8 million C&I relationship in the Florida region to nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2026. Loans in early delinquency (30-89 days past due) – increased by $32.9 million to $143.4 million, driven by a $20.7 million increase in consumer loans and finance leases, primarily in the auto loan portfolio. Liquidity and Capital Liquidity – Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $561.3 million compared to $550.9 million. When adding $2.1 billion of free high-quality liquid securities that could be liquidated or pledged within one day and $1.1 billion in available lending capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), available liquidity amounted to 19.60% of total assets compared to 20.14%. Capital – Repurchased $50.0 million in common stock and declared $31.0 million in common stock dividends. Capital ratios exceeded required regulatory levels. The Corporation’s estimated total capital, common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, tier 1 capital, and leverage ratios were 18.21%, 16.96%, 16.96%, and 11.72%, respectively, as of June 30, 2026. On a non-GAAP basis, the tangible common equity ratio (1) decreased to 10.08% compared to 10.11%, mainly due to an increase in tangible assets. (1) Represents non-GAAP financial measures.

Announces Earnings for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 – Page 2 of 28 NET INTEREST INCOME The following table sets forth information concerning net interest income for the last five quarters: Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 September 30, 2025 June 30, 2025 (Dollars in thousands) Net Interest Income Interest income $ 287,710 $ 279,849 $ 285,158 $ 282,743 $ 278,190 Interest expense 58,579 58,893 62,390 64,827 62,331 Net interest income $ 229,131 $ 220,956 $ 222,768 $ 217,916 $ 215,859 Average Balances Loans and leases $ 13,077,087 $ 13,068,874 $ 13,032,081 $ 12,876,239 $ 12,742,809 Total securities, other short-term investments and interest-bearing cash balances 5,797,465 5,776,844 5,871,091 6,037,726 6,245,844 Average interest-earning assets $ 18,874,552 $ 18,845,718 $ 18,903,172 $ 18,913,965 $ 18,988,653 Average interest-bearing liabilities $ 11,371,881 $ 11,409,037 $ 11,531,091 $ 11,669,135 $ 11,670,411 Average Yield/Rate Average yield on interest-earning assets 6.11% 6.02% 5.98% 5.93% 5.88% Average rate on interest-bearing liabilities 2.07% 2.09% 2.15% 2.20% 2.14% Net interest spread 4.04% 3.93% 3.83% 3.73% 3.74% Net interest margin 4.87% 4.75% 4.68% 4.57% 4.56% Net interest income amounted to $229.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $8.1 million, compared to $221.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, which includes an increase of approximately $1.6 million associated with the effect of an additional day in the second quarter of 2026. The increase in net interest income reflects the following: ● A $4.5 million net increase in interest income on investment securities and interest-earning cash balances, primarily driven by $3.6 million of higher interest income on investment securities, which reflected both the benefit of higher yields on available-for-sale debt securities as a result of purchases of higher-yielding debt securities replacing maturities of lower- yielding debt securities and $1.8 million resulting from the acceleration of the unamortized purchase discount on a municipal bond refinanced during the second quarter of 2026 into a shorter-term commercial loan structure. These increases were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in interest income from interest-earning cash balances, mainly due to a decrease associated with a $78.5 million reduction in the average balances, which consisted primarily of cash maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FED”). ● A $3.3 million increase in interest income on loans, driven by: - A $2.9 million increase in interest income on commercial and construction loans, driven by $1.6 million resulting from the acceleration of net deferred fees associated with the refinancing of a C&I loan in the Puerto Rico region and a $1.1 million increase associated with the effect of an additional day in the second quarter of 2026. - A $0.4 million increase in interest income on residential mortgage loans, mainly due to $0.5 million of interest income recognized during the second quarter of 2026 from the payoff of a nonaccrual residential mortgage loan in the Florida region. ● A $0.6 million decrease in interest expense on advances from the FHLB associated with a $50.6 million decrease in the average balance. Partially offset by: ● A $0.3 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, consisting of: - A $1.4 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing checking and saving accounts, of which $0.9 million was associated with higher interest rates paid in the second quarter of 2026, mainly on government deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing checking and saving accounts in the second quarter increased 5 basis points to 1.26% when compared First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 – Page 3 of 28 to the previous quarter. Excluding government deposits, the average cost of interest-bearing checking and saving accounts remained unchanged at 0.66% in both the second and first quarters of 2026. Partially offset by: - A $0.8 million decrease in interest expense on time deposits, excluding brokered CDs, mainly due to issuances at lower rates during the second quarter of 2026. - A $0.3 million decrease in interest expense on brokered CDs, mainly associated with a $27.4 million decline in the average balance. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.87%, a 12 basis point s increase when compared to the first quarter of 2026, mostly related to the acceleration of the unamortized purchase discount and net deferred fees associated with the aforementioned refinancings during the second quarter of 2026, which contributed approximately 7 basis points to the increase in net interest margin, and the deployment of cash flows from lower-yielding investment securities to higher-yielding assets.

Other variances included a $0.6 million gain recognized during the second quarter of 2026 from the sale of a fixed asset in the Florida region, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in realized gains from purchased income tax credits, both reported as part of other non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2026 reflect the following significant variances: ● A $1.9 million decrease in employees’ compensation and benefits expenses, driven by $1.8 million in stock-based compensation expense of retirement-eligible employees recognized during the first quarter of 2026 and a $1.3 million decrease in payroll taxes due to employees reaching maximum taxable amounts, partially offset by a $1. 1 million increase in salary compensation mainly due to the effect of an additional working day in the second quarter of 2026. ● A $1.2 million increase in credit and debit card processing expenses, mainly due to higher transactional volumes. ● A $0.9 million increase in business promotion expenses as a result of certain marketing efforts during the second quarter of 2026. First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 – Page 6 of 28 INCOME TAXES The Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $25.5 million for the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in income tax expense was driven by a lower estimated annual effective tax rate mostly related to higher than previously forecasted business activities with preferential tax treatment under the Puerto Rico tax code, partially offset by higher pre-tax income. For the year, the Corporation’s annual effective tax rate was estimated at 21.5% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 21.9% for the first quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset of $142.0 million, net of a valuation allowance of $75.6 million, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $143.6 million, net of a valuation allowance of $75.9 million as of March 31, 2026.

(2) Excludes purchased-credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans previously accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30 for which the Corporation made the accounting policy election of maintaining pools of loans as “units of account” both at the time of adoption of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on January 1, 2020 and on an ongoing basis for credit loss measurement. These loans will continue to be excluded from nonaccrual loan statistics as long as the Corporation can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected on the loan pools. The portion of such loans contractually past due 90 days or more amounted to $3.6 million as of June 30, 2026 (March 31, 2026 - $4.2 million; December 31, 2025 - $4.8 million; September 30, 2025 - $5.0 million; June 30, 2025 - $4.9 million).

Under the GNMA program, the Corporation has the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that meet GNMA’s specified delinquency criteria. For accounting purposes, the loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected on the financial statements with an offsetting liability. Variances in credit quality metrics: ● Total non-performing assets increased by $5.1 million to $113.9 million as of June 30, 2026, driven by a $6.8 million increase in nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual commercial and construction loans increased by $13.6 million, driven by the migration of a $14.8 million C&I relationship in the Florida region to nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in nonaccrual residential mortgage loans, and a $2.1 million decrease in nonaccrual consumer loans, mainly in the auto loan and finance leases portfolios. ● Inflows to nonaccrual loans held for investment were $40.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $6.4 million, compared to inflows of $34.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. Inflows to nonaccrual commercial and construction loans were $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $13.9 million, compared to inflows of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven by the aforementioned $14.8 million inflow to nonaccrual status in the Florida region. Inflows to nonaccrual consumer loans were $22.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $6.9 million, compared to inflows of $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2026.

The ratio of the ACL for loans and finance leases to total loans held for investment was 1.85% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 1.87% as of March 31, 2026. The ACL for consumer loans decreased by $1.0 million, driven by lower delinquency levels in the unsecured loan portfolios and improvements in macroeconomic variables in the secured loan portfolios, partially offset by loan growth and higher delinquency levels in the auto loans and finance leases portfolio. In addition, the ACL for commercial and construction loans decreased by $0.3 million, mainly due to an improvement in the projection of certain macroeconomic variables, partially offset by loan growth. Meanwhile, the ACL for residential mortgage loans increased by $1.2 million driven by loan growth. The provision for credit losses on loans and finance leases was $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, as detailed below: ● Provision for credit losses on the consumer loan and finance lease portfolios was an expense of $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to an expense of $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2026. The $3.1 million decrease in provision expense was driven by a $4.7 million reduction in net charge-offs, partially offset by a lower benefit from macroeconomic factors than in the previous quarter. ● Provision for credit losses on the residential mortgage loan portfolio was an expense of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to an expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2026. The $1.1 million increase in provision expense was driven by higher loan growth than the previous quarter. ● Provision for credit losses on the commercial and construction loan portfolios was a net benefit of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net benefit of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2026. The net benefit recorded during the first quarter of 2026 was mainly due to improvements in the projections of the unemployment rate and the CRE price index, partially offset by renewals and refinancings.

The $5.0 million decrease in net charge-offs was driven by a $4.7 million reduction in consumer loans and finance leases net charge -offs, mainly in the auto loan portfolio. Allowance for Credit Losses for Unfunded Loan Commitments As of June 30, 2026, the ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures increased to $4.6 million, compared to $3.1 million as of March 31, 2026, primarily driven by renewals of existing C&I lines of credit.

The following variances within the main components of total assets are noted: ● A $168.8 million increase in total loans , primarily driven by a $151.3 million increase in commercial and construction loans. The growth was mainly attributable to a $129.9 million increase in C&I loans in the Puerto Rico region, of which $112.1 million were related to the increased exposure of a participated loan related to a public-private partnership for toll roads infrastructure improvement and a participated municipal loan (including the conversion of a municipal bond) as a result of the aforementioned refinancings; and a new $19.5 million term loan extended to an existing relationship. Total loan originations, including refinancings, renewals, and draws from existing commitments, amounted to $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $469.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2026. Total loan originations in the Puerto Rico region amounted to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $848.9 million in the first quarter of 2026. The increase of $509.7 million in total loan originations was mainly in commercial and construction loans, driven by the aforementioned refinancings during the second quarter of 2026 totaling $270.6 million and higher utilization of C&I lines of credit. Total loan originations in the Florida region amounted to $333.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $228.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. The increase of $104.6 million in total loan originations was mainly related to a $102.4 million increase in commercial and construction loans, including $65.3 million in C&I loan originations due to the origination of multiple term loans, and $36.9 million in commercial mortgage originations due to the refinancing of a commercial mortgage revolving line of credit totaling $22.9 million. Total loan originations in the Virgin Islands region amounted to $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $170.9 million in the first quarter of 2026. ● A $10.4 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, mainly related to the overall increase in deposits and the net income generated in the second quarter of 2026. These increases were partially offset by net cash outflows from lending and investment activities, the repayment at maturity of a $90.0 million FHLB short -term advance, and capital deployment actions. Partially offset by: ● A $13.2 million decrease in investment securities, driven by repayments of $368.3 million of U.S. agencies’ MBS and debentures, of which $155.0 million was associated with matured securities; repayments of $10.7 million of municipal bonds, which include the aforementioned refinancing of a municipal bond; and a $7.7 million decrease in the fair value of available- for-sale debt securities attributable to changes in market interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by purchases during the second quarter of 2026 of $374.8 million in U.S. agencies’ MBS and debentures at an average yield of 4.92%. In addition, during the second quarter of 2026, $375.0 million in matured U.S. Treasury bills at an average yield of 3.48% were replaced with $370.4 million in U.S. Treasury bills at an average yield of 3.71%. Total liabilities were approximately $17.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $145.5 million from March 31, 2026. The following variances within the main components of total liabilities are noted: ● Total deposits increased by $273.7 million consisting of: o A $167.7 million increase in government deposits, driven by an increase of $159.4 million in the Puerto Rico region. o An $87.7 million increase in brokered CDs in the Florida region. The increase consisted of $179.9 million of new issuances with original average maturities of approximately 0.7 years and an all-in cost of 4.00%, partially offset by maturing brokered CDs amounting to $92.2 million with an all-in cost of 4.30% that were paid off during the second quarter of 2026. o An $18.3 million increase in deposits, excluding brokered CDs and government deposits, consisting of an increase of $42.2 million in the Florida region , partially offset by decreases of $13.8 million in the Virgin Islands region and $10.1 million in the Puerto Rico region. The increase in such deposits consisted of a $19.3 million increase in non- interest-bearing deposits. Partially offset by: First BanCorp. Announces Earnings for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 – Page 11 of 28 ● A $90.0 million decrease in borrowings related to the aforementioned repayment of a $90.0 million short-term FHLB advance that matured during the second quarter of 2026. Total stockholders’ equity amounted to $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $9.6 million from March 31, 2026, driven by the net income generated in the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by $50.0 million in common stock repurchases at an average price of $25.08, $31.0 million in common stock dividends declared in the second quarter of 2026, and a $7.7 million decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities due to changes in market interest rates recognized as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Announces Earnings for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 – Page 13 of 28 Exposure to Puerto Rico Government Direct Exposure As of June 30, 2026, the Corporation had $379.4 million of direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government, its municipalities , and public corporations, an increase of $81.9 million compared to $297.5 million as of March 31, 2026, mainly due to the aforementioned refinancing of a participated municipal loan in the Puerto Rico region. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $293.0 million of the exposure consisted of loans and obligations of municipalities in Puerto Rico that are supported by assigned property tax revenues and for which, in most cases, the good faith, credit, and unlimited taxing power of the applicable municipality have been pledged to their repayment, and $33.6 million consisted of loans and obligations which are supported by one or more specific sources of municipal revenues. The Corporation’s total direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government also included $8.6 million in a loan extended to an affiliate of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and $41.6 million in loans to a public corporation of Puerto Rico. In addition, the total direct exposure included an obligation of the Puerto Rico government, specifically a residential pass-through MBS issued by the PRHFA, at an amortized cost of $2.6 million (fair value of $1.6 million as of June 30, 2026), included as part of the Corporation’s available-for-sale debt securities portfolio. This residential pass-through MBS issued by the PRHFA is collateralized by certain second mortgages and had an unrealized loss of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2026, of which $0.3 million is due to credit deterioration. The aforementioned exposure to municipalities in Puerto Rico included $71.1 million of financing arrangements with Puerto Rico municipalities that were issued in bond form but underwritten as loans with features that are typically found in commercial loans. These bonds are accounted for as held-to-maturity debt securities. Indirect Exposure As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Corporation had $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, of public sector deposits in Puerto Rico. Approximately 21% of the public sector deposits as of June 30, 2026 were from municipalities and municipal agencies in Puerto Rico, and 79% were from public corporations, the Puerto Rico central government and agencies, and U.S. federal government agencies in Puerto Rico.

The main objective of these programs is to spur development in new or rehabilitated and affordable rental housing. PRHFA, as program subrecipient and conduit issuer, issues tax-exempt obligations which are acquired by private financial institutions and are required to co-underwrite with PRHFA a mirror construction loan agreement for the specific project loan to which the Corporation will serve as ultimate lender but where the PRHFA will be the lender of record. The total amount of unfunded loan commitments related to these loans as of June 30, 2026 was $39.2 million. First BanCorp.
