Note 1 – Nature of operations

Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Popular”) is a diversified, publicly-owned financial holding company subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Corporation has operations in Puerto Rico, the mainland United States and the Caribbean.U.S. and British Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the Corporation provides retail, mortgage, and commercial banking services through its principal banking subsidiary, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”), as well as investment banking, broker-dealer, auto and equipment leasing and financing, and insurance services through specialized subsidiaries. In the U.S. mainland, the Corporation operates Bancoprovides retail, mortgage and commercial banking services through its New York-chartered banking subsidiary, Popular North AmericaBank (“BPNA”PB”). BPNA focuses efforts and resources on the core community banking business. BPNA operates, which has branches located in New York, New Jersey and South Florida under the name of Popular Community Bank.Florida.

Note 2 – Hurricanes impact

During September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria (the “hurricanes”), impacted Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, causing extensive damage and disrupting the markets in which Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”) does business.

On September 6, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in the USVI and the BVI as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, causing catastrophic wind and water damage to the islands’ infrastructure, homes and businesses. Hurricane Irma’s winds and resulting flooding also impacted certain municipalities of Puerto Rico, causing the failure of electricity infrastructure in a significant portion of the island. While hurricane Irma also struck Popular’s operations in Florida, neither our operations nor those of our clients in the region were materially impacted.

Two weeks later, on September 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria, made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane, causing extensive destruction and flooding throughout Puerto Rico. Following the passage of Hurricane Maria, all Puerto Rico was left without electrical power, other basic utility and infrastructure services (such as water, communications, ports and other transportation networks) were severely curtailed and the government imposed a mandatory curfew. The hurricanes caused a significant disruption to the island’s economic activity. Most business establishments, including retailers and wholesalers, financial institutions, manufacturing facilities and hotels, were closed for several days.

Puerto Rico and the USVI were declared disaster zones by President Trump due to the impact of the hurricanes, thus making them eligible for Federal assistance. Notwithstanding the significant recovery operation that is underway by the Federal, state and local governments, as of the date of this report, most businesses and homes in Puerto Rico and the USVI remain without power, other basic utility and infrastructure remains significantly impacted, and many businesses are partially operating or remain closed. Electronic transactions, a significant source of revenue for the bank, have also declined significantly as a result of the lack of power and telecommunication services. Several reports indicate that the hurricanes have also accelerated the outmigration trends that Puerto Rico was experiencing, with many residents moving to the mainland United States, either on a temporary or permanent basis.

While it is too early to assess and quantify the full extent of the damage caused by the hurricanes, as well as their long-term impact on economic activity, the damages are substantial and have, at least in the short-term, had a material adverse impact on economic activity, as reflected by, among other things, the slowdown in production and sales activity and the reduction in the government’s tax revenues. Employment levels are also expected to decrease at least in the short-term. The speed at which the government is able to restore power and other basic services throughout Puerto Rico, which we are not able to predict, will be a critical variable in determining the extent of the impact on economic activity. Furthermore, the hurricanes severely damaged or destroyed buildings, homes and other structures, impacting the value of such properties, some of which may serve as collateral to our loans. While our collateral is generally insured, the value of such insured structures, as well as other structures unaffected by the hurricanes, may be significantly impacted. Although some of the impact of the hurricanes, including its short-term impact on economic activity, may be offset by recovery and reconstruction activity and the influx of Federal emergency funds and private insurance proceeds, it is too early to know the amount of Federal and private insurance money to be received and whether such transfers will significantly offset the negative economic, fiscal and demographic impact of the hurricanes.

Prior to the hurricanes, the Corporation had implemented its business continuity action program. Although the Corporation’s business critical systems experienced minimal outages as a result of the storms, the Corporation’s physical operations in Puerto Rico, the USVI and the BVI, including its branch and ATM networks, were materially disrupted by the storms mostly due to lack of electricity and communication as well as limited accessibility. Reconstruction of the island’s electric infrastructure and restoration of the telecommunications network remain the most critical challenges for Puerto Rico’s recovery from the hurricanes.

The following summarizes the estimated impact on the Corporation’s earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as a result of the impact caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, net of estimated insurance receivables of $7.5 million. We expect the hurricanes to continue to impact the Corporation’s earnings for the quarter ending December 31, 2017 and future periods.

Provision for Loan Losses

Damages associated with Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted certain of the Corporation’s asset quality measures, including higher delinquencies andnon-performing loans. Payment channels, collection efforts and loss mitigation operations were interrupted during the last month of the quarter as a result of the hurricanes. An incremental provision expense of $69.9 million was made to the allowance for loan losses based on management’s best estimate of the impact of the hurricanes as of September 30, 2017 on the Corporation’s loan portfolios and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, taking into consideration currently available information and the already challenging economic environment in Puerto Rico prior to the hurricanes.

Management has initially estimated that the effects of the hurricanes could result in loan losses in the range of $70 to $160 million. However, since the Corporation’s base allowance for loan losses already incorporated reserves for environmental factors such as unemployment and deterioration in economic activity of approximately $57.9 million, management increased the environmental factors reserve by $64.3 million to $122.2 million using the nearmid-range as the best estimate. The $69.9 million provision also includes $5.6 million for the portfolio of purchased credit impaired loans, accounted for under ASC310-30, for which the estimated cash flows were adjusted to reflect a three-month payment moratorium offered to certain eligible borrowers. Since there is significant uncertainty with respect to the full extent of the impact due to the unprecedented nature of Hurricane María, the estimate is judgmental and subject to change as conditions evolve. Management will continue to carefully assess and review the exposure of the portfolios to hurricane-related factors, economic trends and their effect on credit quality and that assessment and review could result in further loan loss provisions in future periods.

Operating Expenses

The results for the quarter include $6.6 million in expenses, net of $7.5 million in insurance receivables, from structural damages caused by the hurricanes to branches, buildings and repossessed properties as a result of the hurricanes. An additional $2.9 million in other operating expenses are reflected for costs such as donations, debris removal, fuel for backup generators and other ancillary costs associated with hurricane recovery efforts.

The Corporation has over 200 branches and office buildings and over 2,000 repossessed properties in the areas affected by the hurricanes. While the Corporation has completed a preliminary estimate of the physical damages to these properties, it has been unable to individually examine each of these properties. As the Corporation continues to evaluate the extent of the damage, additional adjustments may be necessary. However, the Corporation believes that given its level of insurance coverage, the estimated impact of damages to these properties should not vary materially.

Revenue Reduction

In addition to the previously mentioned incremental provision and direct operating expenses, results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were impacted by the hurricanes in the form of a reduction in revenue resulting from reduced merchant transaction activity, the waiver of certain late fees and service charges, including ATM transaction fees, to businesses and consumers in hurricane-affected areas, as well as the economic and operational disruption in the Corporation’s mortgage origination, servicing and loss mitigation activities due to the hurricanes’ operational and economic impact. The impact on transactional and collection based revenues has continued into the fourth quarter and the amount will depend on the speed at which electricity, telecommunications and general merchant services can be restored across the region.

Note 3 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared without audit. The consolidated statementConsolidated Statement of financial conditionFinancial Condition data at December 31, 20162018 was derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements are, in the opinion of management, a fair statement of the results for the periods reported and include all necessary adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, for a fair statement of such results.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, included in the Corporation’s 20162018 Form10-K. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 43 – New accounting pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), Leases (Topic 842)

The FASB has issued a series of ASUs which, among other things, supersede ASC Topic 840 and set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessors and lessees. The new guidance requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record aright-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

In addition, the new leases standard requires lessors, among other things, to present lessor costs paid by the lessee to the lessor on a gross basis.

The Corporation adopted the new leases standard during the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Corporation elected the practical expedients to not reassess at the date of adoption whether any existing contracts were or contained leases, their lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Corporation also elected the optional transition method that allows application of the transition provisions of the new leases standard at the adoption date, instead of at the earliest comparative period presented. Therefore, comparative periods will continue to be presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840. The Corporation also elected the optional practical expedients that permit the use of hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease, and to not apply ASC Topic 842 to all classes of short-term leases. On the other hand, the Corporation did not elect the practical expedient on not separating lease components from nonlease components.

As of January 1, 2019, the Corporation recognized ROU assets of $139 million, net of deferred rent liability of $15 million and lease liabilities of $154 million on its operating leases. In addition, the Corporation recorded a positive cumulative effect adjustment of $4.8 million to retained earnings as a result of the reclassification of previously deferred gains on sale and operating lease back transactions.

In addition, the Corporation early adopted ASU2019-01 which, among other things, reinstates the specific fair value guidance in ASC Topic 840 for lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers to continue to measure the fair value of an underlying asset at its cost and clarifies that lessors that are depository or lending institutions in the scope of ASC Topic 942 are required to present the principal portion of lessee payments received from sales-type or direct financing leases as cash flows from investing activities. The Corporation was not impacted by the adoption of ASU2019-01.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes

The FASB issued ASU2018-16 in October 2018 which permits use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to other permissible U.S. benchmark rates.

The Corporation adopted ASU2018-16 during the first quarter of 2019. As such, the Corporation will consider this guidance for qualifying new hedging relationships entered into on or after the effective date.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The FASB issued ASU2018-02 in February 2018, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. These stranded tax effects result from recognizing in income the impact of changes in tax rates even when the related tax effects were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.

The Corporation adopted ASU2018-02 during the first quarter of 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation maintained a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, which were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to its U.S. operations. As such, the Corporation was not impacted by the adoption of this accounting pronouncement during the first quarter of 2019.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

The FASB issued ASU2017-12 in August 2017, which makes more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting and changes how companies assess effectiveness by, among other things, eliminating the requirement for entities to recognize hedge ineffectiveness each reporting period for cash flow hedges and requiring presentation of the changes in fair value of cash flow hedges in the same income statement line item(s) as the earnings effect of the hedged items when the hedged item affects earnings.

The Corporation adopted ASU2017-12 during the first quarter of 2019. The cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings to reverse the hedge ineffectiveness as of December 31, 2018 was not significant. There were no changes in presentation since the earnings effect of the hedges and the hedged items are already presented in the same income statement line item. In addition, the Corporation elected to continue to perform subsequent assessments of hedge effectiveness quantitatively.

Additionally, adoption of the following standards effective during the first quarter of 2019 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements:

The FASB issued ASU2017-122019-04 in August 2017,April 2019, which makes moreclarifies areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (Topic 326), derivatives and hedging (Topic 815), and recognition and measurement of financial instruments (Topic 825). Amendments to Topic 326 are mainly in the areas of accrued interest receivable, transfers of loans and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligibledebt securities between classifications, inclusion of expected recoveries in the allowance for hedge accountingcredit losses, and changes how companies assess effectiveness by, among other things, eliminatingpermitting a prepay-adjusted effective interest rate except for TDRs. Amendments to Topic 815 and Topic 825 are mainly in the requirement for entities to recognize hedge ineffectiveness each reporting period for cash flowareas of fair value hedges and requiring presentation ofequity securities accounted for under the changes in fair value of cash flow hedges in the same income statement line item(s) as the earnings effect of the hedged items when the hedged item affects earnings.measurement alternative, respectively.

The amendments inof this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date.2019.

The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact that the amendments to Topic 326 will be impacted byhave on the simplified application of hedge accounting. TheCECL implementation. Nonetheless, the Corporation does not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncementamendments to Topic 815 and Topic 825 will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations since hedge ineffectiveness has been immaterial to the Corporationand the earnings effect of the hedges and the hedged items are already presented in the same income statement line item.Consolidated Financial Statements.

The FASB issued ASU2017-11 in July 2017, which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments with down round features. When determining whether these instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. For EPS purposes, the effect of the down round feature should be recognized as a dividend when triggered.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update may be applied using either a modified retrospective approach or a full retrospective approach.

The Corporation does not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations since it does not have any outstanding equity-linked financial instruments with a down round feature.

The FASB issued ASU2017-09 in May 2017, which clarifies that modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.

The Corporation does not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations since it is not customary for the Corporation to modify the terms or conditions of its share-based payment awards.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-08, Receivables– Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

The FASB issued ASU2017-08 in March 2017, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.

The Corporation does not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations since the premium of purchased callable debt securities is not significant.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

The FASB issued ASU2017-07 in March 2017, which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The amendments also provide guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and other components of net benefit cost and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component.

The Corporation does not expect that the limitation to capitalize only the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost will have a material impact on its consolidated statement of operations. Upon adoption, the Corporation will segregate the presentation of the service cost from the other components of net periodic benefit costs, all which are currently reported within personnel costs in its accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

The Corporation has continued its evaluation and implementation efforts for ASU2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, and has established a cross-discipline governance structure. A Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) Working Group, with members from different areas within the organization, has been created and assigned the responsibility of assessing the impact of the standard, evaluating interpretative issues, evaluating the current credit loss models against the new guidance to determine any changes necessary and other related implementation activities. The Working Group provides periodic updates to the CECL Steering Committee, which has oversight responsibilities for the implementation efforts.

The Corporation plans to adopt ASU2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. Although early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Corporation does not expect to make that election. The Corporation expects an increase in its allowance for loan and lease losses due to the consideration of lifetime credit losses as part of the calculation. For additional information on ASU2016-13 and other recently issued Accounting Standards Updates not yet effective, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 20162018 Form10-K.

The weighted average yield on investmentdebt securitiesavailable-for-sale is based on amortized cost; therefore, it does not give effect to changes in fair value.

SecuritiesDebt securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified based onin the period of final contractual maturity. The expected maturities of collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities and certain other securities may differ from their contractual maturities because they may be subject to prepayments or may be called by the issuer.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the portfolio ofavailable-for-sale investment portfoliodebt securities reflects gross unrealized losses of approximately $85$128 million, driven mainly by mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations,securities and Mortgage Backed Securities.collateralized mortgage obligations.

Management evaluates investmentdebt securities for other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of a debt security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized for anticipated credit losses. Also, for equity securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired, the excess of the security’s carrying value over its fair value at the evaluation date is accounted for as a loss in the results of operations. The OTTI analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include, but are not limited to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, (2) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers, (3) actual collateral attributes, (4) the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments, (5) any rating changes by a rating agency, (6) adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry, or a geographic area, and (7) management’s intent to sell the debt security or whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation would be required to sell the debt security before a forecasted recovery occurs.

During the third quarter of 2017,At March 31, 2019, management performed its quarterly analysis of all debt securities in an unrealized loss position. Based on the analysis performed, management concluded that no individual debt security was other-than-temporarily-impairedother-than-temporarily impaired as of such date. During the quarter ended on June 30, 2017, the Corporation recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $8.3 million on Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”) bonds classified asavailable-for-sale. These were subsequently sold by the Corporation during the third quarter of 2017, at a gain of approximately $0.1 million.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation did not have the intent to sell debt securities in an unrealized loss position and it was not more likely than not that the Corporation would have to sell the investmentsdebt securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis.

During the third quarter of 2016, management performed its quarterly analysis of all debt securities in an unrealized loss position. Based on the analysis performed, management concluded that no individual debt security was other-than-temporarily-impaired as such date. During the quarter ended on June 30, 2016 the Corporation recognized an other-temporary-impairment charge of $209 thousand on an investment securityavailable-for-sale classified as obligations from Puerto Rico government and its political subdivisions. The security was sold during the fourth quarter of 2016.

The following table states the name of issuers, and the aggregate amortized cost and fair value of the debt securities of such issuer (includesavailable-for-sale andheld-to-maturity debt securities), in which the aggregate amortized cost of such securities exceeds 10% of stockholders’ equity. This information excludes debt securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Investments in obligations issued by a state of the U.S. and its political subdivisions and agencies, which are payable and secured by the same source of revenue or taxing authority, other than the U.S. Government, are considered securities of a single issuer.

SecuritiesDebt securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period of final contractual maturity. The expected maturities of collateralized mortgage obligations and certain other securities may differ from their contractual maturities because they may be subject to prepayments or may be called by the issuer.

As indicated in Note 6 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, management evaluates investmentdebt securities for OTTI declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.

The “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions” classified asheld-to-maturity at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 are primarily associated with securities issued by municipalities of Puerto Rico and are generally not rated by a credit rating agency. This includes $49$42 million of general and special obligation bonds issued by three municipalities of Puerto Rico, which are payable primarily from and have a lien on, certain property taxes imposed by the issuing municipality. In the case of general obligations, they also benefit from a pledge of the full faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of the issuing municipality, and issuing municipalities arewhich is required by law to levy property taxes in an amount sufficient for the payment of debt service on such general obligationsobligation bonds.

The portfolio also includes approximately $43$45 million in securities for which the underlying source of payment is second mortgage loans in Puerto Rico residential properties, not the central government, but in which a government instrumentality provides a guarantee in the event of default.default and subsequent foreclosure of the underlying property. The Corporation performs periodic credit quality reviews on these issuers. Based on the quarterly analysis performed, management concluded that no individual debt securityheld-to-maturity was other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017. FurtherMarch 31, 2019. A deterioration of the Puerto Rico economy or of the fiscal crisishealth of the Government of Puerto Rico and/or its instrumentalities (including if any of Puerto Rico’s economythe issuing municipalities become subject to a debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA) could further affect the value of these securities, resulting in losses to the Corporation. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell debt securitiesheld-to-maturity and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not have to sell these investmentdebt securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Refer to Note 22for21for additional information on the Corporation’s exposure to the Puerto Rico Government.

Note 8 – Loans

Loans acquired in the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction, except for lines of credit with revolving privileges, are accounted for by the Corporation in accordance with ASC Subtopic310-30. Under ASC Subtopic310-30, the acquired loans were aggregated into pools based on similar characteristics. Each loan pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. The loans which are accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 by the Corporation are not considerednon-performing and will continue to have an accretable yield as long as there is a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected. The Corporation measures additional losses for this portfolio when it is probable the Corporation will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition. Lines of credit with revolving privileges that were acquired as part of the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction are accounted for under the guidance of ASC Subtopic310-20, which requires that any differences between the contractually required loan payment receivable in excess of the Corporation’s initial investment in the loans be accreted into interest income. Loans accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-20 are placed innon-accrual status when past due in accordance with the Corporation’snon-accruing policy and any accretion of discount is discontinued.

The risks on loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction are significantly different from the risks on loans not covered under the FDIC loss sharing agreements because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC. Accordingly, the Corporation presents loans subject to the loss sharing agreements as “covered loans” in the information below and loans that are not subject to the FDIC loss sharing agreements as“non-covered loans”. The FDIC loss sharing agreements expired on June 30, 2015 for commercial (including construction) and consumer loans, and expires on June 30, 2020 for single-family residential mortgage loans, as explained in Note 10.

For a summary of the accounting policies related to loans, interest recognition and allowance for loan losses refer to Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policiesSignificant Accounting Policies of the 20162018 Form10-K.

As previously disclosed in Note 4, as a result of the Reliable Transaction completed on August 1, 2018, Popular Auto, LLC, acquired approximately $1.6 billion in retail auto loans and $341 million in primarily auto-related commercial loans.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Corporation recordedcompared to purchases (including repurchases) of mortgage loans amounting to $118of $156 million and $358 million, respectively; consumer loans of $164 million and commercial loans amounting to $51 million, during the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018.

The Corporation performed whole-loan sales involving approximately $9 million and $63$12 million of residential mortgage loans and $8 million of commercial loans during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively (September 30, 2016—$13March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018 - $10 million and $53 million, respectively)of residential mortgage loans). Excluding the bulk sale of Westernbank loans with a carrying value of approximately $100 million, the Corporation sold commercial and construction loans with a carrying value of approximately $38 million and $39 millionAlso, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Also,March 31, 2019, the Corporation securitized approximately $ 86 million and $ 369$71 million of mortgage loans into Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) mortgage-backed securities during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively (September 30, 2016—$ 161 million and $ 465 million, respectively). Furthermore, the Corporation securitized approximately $ 21 million and $ 86$21 million of mortgage loans into Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) mortgage-backed securities, compared to $112 million and $26 million, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively (September 30, 2016 - $ 50 million and $ 129 million, respectively). The disruption in our operations over the last 10 days of the quarter impacted the volume of loan sales and securitizations.March 31, 2018.

[1]Non-covered loansheld-in-portfolio are net of $121 million in unearned income and exclude $89 million in loansheld-for-sale.
[2]Includes $7.3 billion pledged to secure credit facilities and public funds that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $4.5 billion were pledged at the FHLB as collateral for borrowings, $2.3 billion at the FRB for discount window borrowings and $0.5 billion serve as collateral for public funds.
[3]The legacy portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, construction loans and lease financings related to certain lending products exited by the Corporation as part of restructuring efforts carried out in prior years at the BPNA segment.

The level of delinquencies as of September 30, 2017 was impacted by the disruptions caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The Corporation’s payment channels, collection efforts and loss mitigation operations were interrupted and mostly unavailable for the last 10 days of the quarter.

The following tables presentnon-covered loansheld-in-portfolio by loan class including those that are innon-performing status or that are accruing interest but are past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more consist primarily of credit cards, Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) / U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and other insured mortgage loans, and delinquent mortgage loans which are included in the Corporation’s financial statements pursuant to GNMA’sbuy-back option program. 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.

The Corporation accounts for linesAt March 31, 2019, mortgage loansheld-in-portfolio include $1.4 billion of credit with revolving privilegesloans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) of which $535 million are 90 days or more past due, including $106 million of loans rebooked under the accounting guidance of ASC Subtopic310-20, which requires that any differences between the contractually required loans payment receivable in excess of the initial investment in the loans be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans, if the loan is accruing interest. Covered loans accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-20 amounted to $10 million at September 30, 2017GNMA buyback option, discussed below (December 31, 2016—$102018 - $1.4 billion, $598 million and $134 million, respectively). Within this portfolio, loans in a delinquency status of 90 days or more are reported as accruing loans as opposed tonon-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These balances include $292 million of residential mortgage loans in Puerto Rico that are no longer accruing interest as of March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $283 million). Additionally, the Corporation has approximately $67 million in reverse mortgage loans in Puerto Rico which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $69 million).

Loans with a delinquency status of 90 days past due as of March 31, 2019 include $106 million in loans previously pooled into GNMA securities (December 31, 2018 - $134 million). Under the GNMA program, issuers such as BPPR 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 on the financial statements of BPPR with an offsetting liability.

[1]The carrying amount of loans acquired from Westernbank and accounted for under ASC310-30 which remains subject to the loss sharing agreement with the FDIC amounted to approximately $515 million as of September 30, 2017 and $563 million as of December 31, 2016.

The outstanding principal balance of Westernbank loans accounted pursuant to ASC Subtopic310-30, amounted to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2017 (DecemberAt March 31, 2016 - $2.1 billion). At September 30, 2017,2019, none of the acquired loans from the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 were considerednon-performing loans. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, was recognized on all acquired loans.

[2]The carrying amount of loans acquired from Westernbank and accounted for under ASC310-30 which remain subject to the loss sharing agreement with the FDIC amounted to approximately $515 million as of September 30, 2017 (September 30, 2016- $578 million).

Other loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality

The outstanding principal balance of other acquired loans accounted pursuant to ASC Subtopic310-30, amounted to $598 million at September 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $700 million). At September 30, 2017, none of the other acquired loans accounted under ASC Subtopic310-30 were considerednon-performing loans. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, was recognized on all acquired loans.

Changes in the carrying amount and the accretable yield for the other acquired loans accounted pursuant to the ASC Subtopic310-30, for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

Note 9 – Allowance for loan losses

The Corporation follows a systematic methodology to establish and evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) to provide for inherent losses in the loan portfolio. This methodology includes the consideration of factors such as current economic conditions, portfolio risk characteristics, prior loss experience and results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans. The provision for loan losses charged to current operations is based on this methodology. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses.ALLL.

The Corporation’s assessment of the allowance for loan lossesALLL is determined in accordance with the guidance of loss contingencies in ASC Subtopic450-20 and loan impairment guidance in ASCSection 310-10-35. Also, the Corporation determines the allowance for loan lossesALLL on purchased impaired loans and purchased loans accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30, by evaluating decreases in expected cash flows after the acquisition date.

The accounting guidance provides for the recognition of a loss allowance for groups of homogeneous loans. The determination for general reserves of the allowance for loan lossesgeneral ALLL includes the following principal factors:

 

Base net loss rates, which are based on the moving average of annualized net loss rates computed over a5-year historical loss period for the commercial and construction loan portfolios, and an18-month period for the consumer and mortgage loan portfolios. The base net loss rates are applied by loan type and by legal entity.

 

Recent loss trend adjustment, which replaces the base loss rate with a12-month average loss rate, when these trends are higher than the respective base loss rates. The objective of this adjustment is to allow for a more recent loss trend to be captured and reflected in the ALLL estimation process.

For the period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, 41% (March 31, 2018 - 45% (September 30, 2016 - 49%) of the ALLL fornon-covered the BPPR segment loan portfolios utilized the recent loss trend adjustment instead of the base loss. The effect of replacing the base loss with the recent loss trend adjustment was mainly concentrated in the commercial and personal loans portfolios for 2019 and in the mortgage, leasing, credit cards personal,and auto and other consumer loanloans portfolios for 2017 and in the leasing, auto, other consumer loan and mortgage loan portfolios for 2016.2018.

For the period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, 23% (March 31, 2018 - 5% (September 30, 2016 - 4 %)) of our BPNAthe Popular U.S. segment loan portfolios utilized the recent loss trend adjustment instead of the base loss. The effect of replacing the base loss with the recent loss trend adjustment was concentrated in the consumer portfoliosportfolio for 20172019 and 2016.2018.

 

Environmental factors, which include credit and macroeconomic indicators such as unemployment rate, economic activity index and delinquency rates, adopted to account for current market conditions that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical losses. The Corporation reflects the effect of these environmental factors on each loan group as an adjustment that, as appropriate, increases the historical loss rate applied to each group. Environmental factors provide updated perspective on credit and economic conditions. Regression analysis is used to select these indicators and quantify the effect on the general reserve of the allowance for loan losses.

As discussed in Note 2, Hurricanes impact, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, an incremental provision expense of $69.9 million was made to the allowance for loan lossesALLL. The Corporation’s methodology also includes qualitative judgmental reserves based on management’s best estimate ofstressed credit quality assumptions to provide for probable losses in the impact of the hurricanes on the Corporation’s loan portfolios andnot embedded in the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, taking into consideration currently available information and the already challenging economic environment in Puerto Rico prior to the hurricanes. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.historical loss rates.

The following tables present the changes in the allowance for loan losses, loan ending balances and whether such loans and the allowance pertain to loans individually or collectively evaluated for impairment for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2018.

Commercial, consumer and mortgage loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Corporation evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance for loan losses may be increased or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan.

Note 10 – FDIC loss-share asset andtrue-up payment obligation

In connection with the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction, BPPR entered into loss-share arrangements with the FDIC with respect to the covered loans and other real estate owned. Pursuant to the terms of the loss-share arrangements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse BPPR for losses with respect to covered assets beginsbegan with the first dollar of loss incurred. The FDIC reimbursesreimbursed BPPR for 80% of losses with respect to covered assets, and BPPR reimbursesreimbursed the FDIC for 80% of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid reimbursement under loss-share arrangements. The loss-share agreement applicable to single-family residential mortgage loans provides for FDIC loss and recoveries sharing for ten years expiring at the end of the quarter ending June 30, 2020.

The following table sets forth the activity in the FDIC loss-share asset for the periods presented.

The agreement provides2015, but the arrangement provided for reimbursement of recoveries to the FDIC to continue through the quarter ending June 30, 2018, and for the single family mortgage loss-share component of such agreement to expire on Aprilin the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

As part of the loss-share agreements, BPPR hashad agreed to make atrue-up payment to the FDIC on the date that is 45 days following the last day (such day, the“true-up measurement date”) of the final shared-loss month, or upon the final disposition of all covered assets under the loss-share agreements, in the event losses on the loss-share agreements fail to reach expected levels. The estimated fair value of suchtrue-up payment obligation is recordedat March 31, 2018 was approximately $ 171 million and was included as a contingent consideration which is included inwithin the caption of other liabilities in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of financial condition.Financial Condition.

On May 22, 2018, the Corporation entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with the FDIC to terminate all loss-share arrangements in connection with the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction. Under the loss sharing agreements,terms of the Termination Agreement, BPPR will paymade a payment of approximately $ 23.7 million (the “Termination Payment”) to the FDIC 50%as consideration for the termination of the excess, if any, of: (i) 20%loss-share agreements.

Of the four components used to estimate thetrue-up payment obligation (intrinsic loss estimate, asset discount, cumulative shared-loss payments, and period servicing amounts) only the cumulative shared-loss payments and the period servicing amounts will change on a quarterly basis. These two variables are the main drivers of changesshare income (expense) caption in the undiscountedtrue-up payment obligation. In

order to estimate thetrue-up obligation, actual and expected portfolio performance for loans under both the commercial and residential loss sharing agreement are contemplated. The cumulative shared loss payments and cumulative servicing amounts are derived from our quarterly loss reassessment process for covered loans accounted for under ASC310-30.

The increase in

As a result of the fair value of thetrue-up payment obligation was principally driven by a decrease in the discount rate from 5.97% in 2016 to 4.47% in 2017 due to a lower risk premium. The estimated fair value of thetrue-up payment obligation corresponds to the difference between the initial estimated losses to be reimbursedTermination Agreement, assets that were covered by the FDIC and the revised estimate of reimbursable losses. Asloss share agreement, including covered loans in the amount of estimated reimbursable losses decreases, the value of thetrue-up payment obligation increases.

As described above, the estimate of thetrue-up payment obligation is determined by applying the provisions of the loss sharing agreementsapproximately $ 514.6 million and will change on a quarterly basis. The amount of the estimate of thetrue-up payment obligation is expected to change in future periods and may be subject to the interpretation of provisions of the loss sharing agreements.

The loss-share agreements contain specific terms and conditions regarding the management of the covered assets that BPPR must follow in order to receive reimbursement on losses from the FDIC. Under the loss-share agreements, BPPR must:

manage and administer the covered assets and collect and effect charge-offs and recoveries with respect to such coveredreal estate owned assets in a manner consistent with its usual and prudent business and banking practices and, with respect to single family shared-loss loans, the procedures (including collection procedures) customarily employed by BPPR in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account and the servicing procedures established by FNMA or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), as in effect from time to time, and in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions;

exercise its best judgment in managing, administering and collecting amounts on covered assets and effecting charge-offs with respect to the covered assets;

use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize recoveries with respect to losses on single family shared-loss assets and best efforts to maximize collections with respect to commercial shared-loss assets;

retain sufficient staff to perform the duties under the loss-share agreements;

adopt and implement accounting, reporting, record-keeping and similar systems with respect to the commercial shared-loss assets;

comply with the terms of the modification guidelines approved by the FDIC or another federal agency for any single-family shared-loss loan;

provide notice with respect to proposed transactions pursuant to which a third party or affiliate will manage, administer or collect any commercial shared-loss assets;

Note 11 – Mortgage banking activities

Income from mortgage banking activities includes mortgage servicing fees earned in connection with administering residential mortgage loans and valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing rights. It also includes gain on sales and securitizations of residential mortgage loans and trading gains and losses on derivative contracts used to hedge the Corporation’s securitization activities. In addition,lower-of-cost-or-market valuation adjustments to residential mortgage loans held for sale, if any, are recorded as part of the mortgage banking activities.

Note 12 – Transfers of financial assets and mortgage servicing assets

The Corporation typically transfers conforming residential mortgage loans in conjunction with GNMA and FNMA securitization transactions whereby the loans are exchanged for cash or securities and servicing rights. As seller, the Corporation has made certain representations and warranties with respect to the originally transferred loans and, in the past, has sold certain loans with credit recourse to a government-sponsored entity, namely FNMA. Refer to Note 2120 to the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements for a description of such arrangements.

No liabilities were incurred as a result of these securitizations during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 20162018 because they did not contain any credit recourse arrangements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation recorded a net gain of $3.9$3.7 million (September 30, 2016(March 31, 2018 - $8.4 million) related to the residential mortgage loans securitized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation recorded a net gain of $15.0 million (September 30, 2016 - $22.6$1.0 million) related to the residential mortgage loans securitized.

The following tables present the initial fair value of the assets obtained as proceeds from residential mortgage loans securitized during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:2018:

During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation retained servicing rights on whole loan sales involving approximately $49$11.9 million in principal balance outstanding (September 30, 2016(March 31, 2018 - $46$10.0 million), with realized gains of approximately $1.8$0.4 million (September 30, 2016(March 31, 2018 - gains of $1.9$0.1 million). All loan sales performed during the nine monthsquarters ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018 were without credit recourse agreements.

The Corporation recognizes as assets the rights to service loans for others, whether these rights are purchased or result from asset transfers such as sales and securitizations. These mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”MSR”) are measured at fair value.

The Corporation uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The discounted cash flow model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, prepayment and late fees, among other considerations. Prepayment speeds are adjusted for the Corporation’s loan characteristics and portfolio behavior.

The following table presents the changes in MSRs measured using the fair value method for the nine monthsquarters ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016.

Represents the changechanges due to collection / realization of expected cash flowflows over time.

Residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $17.1$15.5 billion at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 (December 31, 20162018 - $18.0$15.7 billion).

Net mortgage servicing fees, a component of mortgage banking activities in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations,Operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the MSRs, including changes due to collection / realization of expected cash flows. The banking subsidiaries receive servicing fees based on a percentage of the outstanding loan balance. These servicing fees are recognized ascredited to income when they are collected. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, those weighted average mortgage servicing fees were 0.29% (September 30, 2016 – 0.29%(March 31, 2018 - 0.30%). Under these servicing agreements, the banking subsidiaries do not generally earn significant prepayment penalty fees on the underlying loans serviced.

The section below includes information on assumptions used in the valuation model of the MSRs, originated and purchased.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the servicing rights derived from loans securitized or sold by the Corporation during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 20162018 were as follows:

Key economic assumptions used to estimate the fair value of MSRs derived from sales and securitizations of mortgage loans performed by the banking subsidiaries and servicing rights purchased from other financial institutions, and the sensitivity to immediate changes in those assumptions, were as follows as of the end of the periods reported:

The sensitivity analyses presented in the tablestable above for servicing rights are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10 and 20 percent 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 the sensitivity tables included

herein, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation serviced $1.5$1.3 billion (December 31, 20162018 - $1.7$1.3 billion) in residential mortgage loans with credit recourse to the Corporation. Refer to Note 20 for information on changes in the Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans serviced with credit recourse.

Under the GNMA securitizations, the Corporation, as servicer, has the right to repurchase (but not the obligation), at its option and without GNMA’s prior authorization, any loan that is collateral for a GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed security when certain delinquency criteria are met. At the time that individual loans meet GNMA’s specified delinquency criteria and are eligible for repurchase, the Corporation is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans if the Corporation was the pool issuer. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had recorded $92$106 million in mortgage loans on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition related to thisbuy-back option program (December 31, 20162018 - $49$134 million). As long as the Corporation continues to service the loans that continue to be collateral in a GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed security, the MSR is recognized by the Corporation. During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation repurchased approximately $ 113$34 million (September 30, 2016(March 31, 2018 - $67$85 million) of mortgage loans under the GNMAbuy-back option program. The determination to repurchase these loans was based on the economic benefits of the transaction, which results in a reduction of the servicing costs for these severely delinquent loans, mostly related to principal and interest advances. Furthermore, due to their guaranteed nature, the risk associated with the loans is minimal.reduced due to their guaranteed nature. The Corporation places these loans under its loss mitigation programs and once brought back to current status, these may be either retained in portfolio orre-sold in the secondary market.

The Corporation’s goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment, at least annually and on a more frequent basis if events or circumstances indicate impairment could have taken place. Such events could include, among others, a significant adverse change in the business climate, an adverse action by a regulator, an unanticipated change in the competitive environment and a decision to change the operations or dispose of a reporting unit.

Under applicable accounting standards, goodwill impairment analysis is atwo-step test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step must be performed. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated possible impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles (including any unrecognized intangible assets, such as unrecognized core deposits and trademark) as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The Corporation estimates the fair values of the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit, consistent with the requirements of the fair value measurements accounting standard, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of the assets and liabilities reflects market conditions, thus volatility in prices could have a material impact on the determination of the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill at the impairment test date. The adjustments to measure the assets, liabilities and intangibles at fair value are for the purpose of measuring the implied fair value of goodwill and such adjustments are not reflected in the consolidated statement of condition. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted under applicable accounting standards.

The Corporation performed the annual goodwill impairment evaluation for the entire organization during the third quarter of 2017 using July 31, 2017 as the annual evaluation date. The reporting units utilized for this evaluation were those that are one level below the business segments, which are the legal entities within the reportable segment. The Corporation follows push-down accounting, as such all goodwill is assigned to the reporting units when carrying out a business combination.

In determining the fair value of a reporting unit, the Corporation generally uses a combination of methods, including market price multiples of comparable companies and transactions, as well as discounted cash flow analysis. Management evaluates the particular circumstances of each reporting unit in order to determine the most appropriate valuation methodology. The Corporation evaluates the results obtained under each valuation methodology to identify and understand the key value drivers in order to ascertain that the results obtained are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. Elements considered include current market and economic conditions, developments in specific lines of business, and any particular features in the individual reporting units.

The computations require management to make estimates and assumptions. Critical assumptions that are used as part of these evaluations include:

a selection of comparable publicly traded companies, based on nature of business, location and size;

a selection of comparable acquisition and capital raising transactions;

the discount rate applied to future earnings, based on an estimate of the cost of equity;

the potential future earnings of the reporting unit; and

the market growth and new business assumptions.

For purposes of the market comparable approach, valuations were determined by calculating average price multiples of relevant value drivers from a group of companies that are comparable to the reporting unit being analyzed and applying those price multiples to the value drivers of the reporting unit. Multiples used are minority based multiples and thus, no control premium adjustment is made to the comparable companies market multiples. While the market price multiple is not an assumption, a presumption that it provides an indicator of the value of the reporting unit is inherent in the valuation. The determination of the market comparables also involves a degree of judgment.

For purposes of the discounted cash flows (“DCF”) approach, the valuation is based on estimated future cash flows. The financial projections used in the DCF valuation analysis for each reporting unit are based on the most recent (as of the valuation date) financial projections presented to the Corporation’s Asset / Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”). The growth assumptions included in these projections are based on management’s expectations for each reporting unit’s financial prospects considering economic and industry conditions as well as particular plans of each entity (i.e. restructuring plans,de-leveraging, etc.). The cost of equity used to discount the cash flows was calculated using the IbbotsonBuild-Up Method and ranged from 11.58% to 14.49% for the 2017 analysis. The IbbotsonBuild-Up Method builds up a cost of equity starting with the rate of return of a “risk-free” asset(20-year U.S. Treasury note) and adds to it additional risk elements such as equity risk premium, size premium and industry risk premium. The resulting discount rates were analyzed in terms of reasonability given the current market conditions and adjustments were made when necessary.

BPPR passed Step 1 in the annual test as of July 31, 2017. The results indicated that the average estimated fair value calculated in Step 1 using all valuation methodologies exceeded BPPR’s equity value by approximately $871 million or 26%. Accordingly, there was no indication of impairment on the goodwill recorded in BPPR at July 31, 2017 and there was no need for a Step 2 analysis. As indicated in Note 2, during the month of September Hurricanes Irma and Maria made landfall and subsequently caused extensive destruction in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, disrupting the markets in which BPPR does business. The hurricanes have and may continue to impact the Corporation’s financial results, as detailed in Note 2, which may have an effect on BPPR’s estimated fair value. However, given the excess of BPPR’s fair value over its carrying amount, the Corporation has determined, based on the information currently available, that there is no indication of impairment of goodwill. The Corporation will continue monitoring the impact of the hurricanes as new information becomes available.

BPNA passed Step 1 in the annual test as of July 31, 2017. The results indicated that the average estimated fair value calculated in Step 1 using all valuation methodologies exceeded BPNA’s equity value by approximately $183 million or 11%. Accordingly, there was no indication of impairment on the goodwill recorded in BPNA at July 31, 2017 and there was no need for a Step 2 analysis.

The goodwill balance of BPPR and BPNA, as legal entities, represented approximately 98% of the Corporation’s total goodwill balance as of the July 31, 2017 valuation date.

Furthermore, as part of the analyses, management performed a reconciliation of the aggregate fair values determined for the reporting units to the market capitalization of Popular, Inc. concluding that the fair value results determined for the reporting units in the July 31, 2017 annual assessment were reasonable.

The goodwill impairment evaluation process requires the Corporation to make estimates and assumptions with regard to the fair value of the reporting units. Actual values may differ significantly from these estimates. Such differences could result in future impairment of goodwill that would, in turn, negatively impact the Corporation’s results of operations and the reporting units where the goodwill is recorded. Declines in the Corporation’s market capitalization could increase the risk of goodwill impairment in the future.

Management monitors events or changes in circumstances between annual tests to determine if these events or changes in circumstances would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

As parta result of this transaction,the receipt of the initial shares, the Corporation received 1,847,372 shares and recognized $79.5in shareholders’ equity approximately $200 million in treasury stock basedand $50 million as a reduction in capital surplus.

BPPR statutory reserve

The Banking Act of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico requires that a minimum of 10% of BPPR’s net income for the year be transferred to a statutory reserve account until such statutory reserve equals the total ofpaid-in capital on common and preferred stock. Any losses incurred by a bank must first be charged to retained earnings and then to the reserve fund. Amounts credited to the reserve fund may not be used to pay dividends without the prior consent of the Puerto Rico Commissioner of Financial Institutions. The failure to maintain sufficient statutory reserves would preclude BPPR from paying dividends. BPPR’s statutory reserve fund amounted to $513 million at September 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $513 million). There were no transfers between the statutory reserve account and the retained earnings account during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Note 2120 – Guarantees

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 the Corporation recorded a liability of $0.3$0.5 million (December 31, 2016—$0.32018 - $0.3 million), which represents the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under the standby letters of credit. Management does not anticipate any material losses related to these instruments.

From time to time, the Corporation securitized mortgage loans into guaranteed mortgage-backed securities subject to limited, and in certain instances, lifetime credit recourse on the loans that serve as collateral for the mortgage-backed securities. The Corporation has not sold any mortgage loans subject to credit recourse since 2009. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 the Corporation serviced $ 1.5$1.3 billion (December 31, 20162018 - $ 1.7$1.3 billion) in residential mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions, principally loans associated with FNMA and FHLMC residential mortgage loan securitization programs. In the event of any customer default, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, the Corporation is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Corporation would be required to make under the recourse arrangements in the event of nonperformance by the borrowers is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation repurchased approximately $ 7$8 million and $ 22 million, respectively, of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions (September 30, 2016(March 31, 2018-$ 11 million and $ 34 million, respectively)8 million). In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, the Corporation has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. The Corporation suffers ultimate losses on these loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage loan are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan plus any uncollected interest advanced and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 the Corporation’s liability established to cover the estimated credit loss exposure related to loans sold or serviced with credit recourse amounted to $ 52$52 million (December 31, 20162018 - $ 5456 million).

The following table shows the changes in the Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans serviced with credit recourse provisions during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2018.

When the Corporation sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, the Corporation may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, BPPRMarch 31, 2019, the Corporation did not repurchase loans under representation and warranty arrangements.arrangements (March 31, 2018 - $9 million). A substantial amount of these loans reinstatereinstates to performing status or have mortgage insurance, and thus the ultimate losses on the loans are not deemed significant.

From time to time, the Corporation sells loans and agrees to indemnify the purchaser for credit losses or any breach of certain representations and warranties made in connection with the sale. The following table presents the changes in the Corporation’s liability for estimated losses associated with indemnifications and representations and warranties related to loans sold by BPPR for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

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 the Corporation to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation serviced $17.1$15.5 billion in mortgage loans for third-parties, including the loans serviced with credit recourse (December 31, 2016

2018 - $18.0$15.7 billion). The Corporation generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from the mortgage owner, from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage loan is foreclosed or, in the case of FHA/VA loans, under the applicable FHA and VA insurance and guarantees programs. However, in the meantime, the Corporation must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. The Corporation 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 the Corporation would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Corporation under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $71$94 million including advances on the portfolio acquired from Doral Bank (December 31, 20162018 - $70$88 million). To the extent the mortgage loans underlying the Corporation’s servicing portfolio experience increased delinquencies, the Corporation 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.

Popular, Inc. Holding Company (“PIHC”) fully and unconditionally guarantees certain borrowing obligations issued by certain of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries amounting to $ 149$94 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.2018. In addition, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, PIHC fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis $ 427$374 million of capital securities (trust preferred securities) issued by wholly-owned issuing trust entities to the extent set forth in the applicable guarantee agreement. Refer to Note 2320 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 20162018 Form10-K for further information on the trust preferred securities.

Note 2221 – Commitments and contingencies

Off-balance sheet risk

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments, letters of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual notional amounts of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for those reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Financial instruments withoff-balance sheet credit risk, whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk as of the end of the periods presented were as follows:

At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the Corporation maintained a reserve of approximately $9$8 million for potential losses associated with unfunded loan commitments related to commercial and consumer lines of credit.

Business concentration

Since the Corporation’s business activities are concentrated primarily in Puerto Rico, its results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon the general trends of the Puerto Rico economy and, in particular, the residential and commercial real estate markets. The concentration of the Corporation’s operations in Puerto Rico exposes it to greater risk than other banking companies with a wider geographic base. Its asset and revenue composition by geographical area is presented in Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Puerto Rico isremains in the midst of a profound fiscal and economic crisis. In response to such crisis, was recently significantly impacted by two major hurricanes and has commenced several proceedings underthe U.S. Congress enacted the Puerto Rico Oversight Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) to restructurein 2016, which, among other things, established a Fiscal Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”) and a framework for the restructuring of the debts of the Commonwealth, its outstanding obligationsinstrumentalities and those of certainmunicipalities. The Commonwealth and several of its instrumentalities.

In September 2017, Puerto Rico was impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Most relevant, Hurricane Maria made landfall on September 20, 2017, causing severe wind and flood damage to infrastructure, homes and businesses throughout Puerto Rico. Following the passage of Hurricane Maria, all Puerto Rico was left without electrical power, other basic utility and infrastructure services were severely curtailed and the government imposed a mandatory curfew.instrumentalities have commenced debt restructuring proceedings under PROMESA. As of the date of this report, most businesses and homes in Puerto Rico remain without power, other basic utility and infrastructure remains significantly impacted, and many businesses are operating partially or remain closed. While it is too early to assess and quantify the full extent of the damage caused by the hurricanes, as well as their long-term impact on economic activity, the damages are substantial andwhile municipalities have at least in the short-term, had a material adverse impact on economic activity. For a discussion of the impact of the hurricanes on the Corporation’s operations and financial results during the third quarter of 2017, refer to Note 2 - Hurricanes impact.

The U.S. Congress enacted PROMESA on June 30, 2016 in response to the Commonwealth’s ongoing fiscal and economic crisis. PROMESA, among other things, (i) established a seven-member oversight board (the “Oversight Board”) with broad powers over the finances of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities, (ii) established an automatic stay on litigation, which expired on May 1,

2017, that applied to all financial obligations of the Commonwealth, its instrumentalities and municipalities (including to all municipal obligations owned by the Corporation), (iii) required the Commonwealth (and any instrumentality thereofbeen recently designated as a “covered entity” under PROMESA) to submit its budgets, and if the Oversight Board so requests, a fiscal plan for certification by the Oversight Board, and (iv) established two separate processes for the restructuring of the outstanding liabilities of the Commonwealth, its instrumentalities and municipalities: (a) Title VI, a largelyout-of-court process through which a government entity and its financial creditors can agree on terms to restructure such entity’s debts, and (b) Title III, a court-supervised process for a comprehensive restructuring similar to Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The Oversight Board has designated a number of entities as “covered entities” under PROMESA, including the Commonwealth, all of its public corporations (including COFINA) and retirement systems, and all affiliates and subsidiaries of the foregoing. While the Oversight Board has the power to designate any of the Commonwealth’s municipalities as covered entities under PROMESA, itno municipality has not done so as of the date hereof. The Oversight Boardcommenced, or has further approved fiscal plans for certain of these “covered entities,” including the Commonwealth, the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (“GDB”) and several other public corporations. The Commonwealth’s fiscal plan covers various public instrumentalities with outstanding debts payable from taxes, fees or other government revenues, including COFINA. The fiscal plans were prepared and approved prior to the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria and are thus based onpre-hurricane assumptions of government revenues, economic activity and outmigration. The approved fiscal plans indicate based on such assumptions that the applicable government entities are unable to pay their outstanding obligations as currently scheduled, thus recognizing a need for a significant debt restructuring. On October 31, 2017,been authorized by the Oversight Board requested revised fiscal plans for the Commonwealth and various public corporations to take into account the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The Oversight Board expects that the revised fiscal plans would be certified by January or February 2018.

On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board, on behalf of the Commonwealth, filed a petition in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico to restructure the Commonwealth’s liabilitiescommence, any such debt restructuring proceeding under Title III of PROMESA. The Oversight Board has subsequently filed analogous petitions with respect to COFINA, the Employees Retirement System, the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority. The Oversight Board has also authorized GDB to pursue a restructuring of its financial indebtedness under Title VI of PROMESA. Although as of the date hereof, these entities are the only entities for which the Oversight Board has sought to use the restructuring authority provided by PROMESA, the Oversight Board may use the restructuring authority of Title III or Title VI of PROMESA for other Commonwealth instrumentalities, including its municipalities, in the future.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities amounted to $ 484 million, of which approximately $ 482 million is outstanding ($584totaled $455 million and $ 529$458 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016).which amounts were fully outstanding on such dates. Of thethis amount, outstanding, $ 433$413 million consists of loans and $ 49$42 million are securities ($ 459413 million and $ 70$45 million at December 31, 2016)2018). All of amount outstanding ($ 512 millionSubstantially all of the total amount outstanding at DecemberMarch 31, 2016) represents2019 were obligations from various municipalities in Puerto Rico for which, inmunicipalities. In most cases, these were “general obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged its good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power, or “special obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has been pledged other revenues. At March 31, 2019, 75% of the Corporation’s exposure to their repayment. Such general obligation bondsmunicipal loans and notes are payable primarily from, and have a lien on, certain special property taxes, which each municipality is required by law to levy in an amount sufficient for the payment of its outstanding general obligation bonds and notes. Those special property taxes are collected by the Municipal Revenue Collection Center (“CRIM”), or directly by some municipalities, and deposited into the Municipal Public Debt Redemption Fund (a trust for which GDB acts as trustee and which is currently held in various accounts and subaccounts at BPPR (except for the portion corresponding to repayment of municipal general obligation bonds held by GDB, whichsecurities was deposited at GDB until April 2016)). Fundsconcentrated in the Redemption Fund are required to be used for the paymentmunicipalities of the municipality’s general obligation bondsSan Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and notes. To the extent that a municipality’s funds in the Redemption Fund are insufficient to pay the obligations in full, CRIM is required to transfer to such Redemption Fund other property tax revenues of the applicable municipality to satisfy the insufficiency.Bayamón.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Corporation sold all of its COFINA bonds at a gain of approximately $0.1 million. The Corporation had recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $8.3 million in respect of those bonds during the second quarter of 2017 as a result of the filing of the Title III proceeding in respect of COFINA and thenon-payment of interest on the COFINA bonds in June 2017, pursuant to a court order issued in such proceeding.

In addition, at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had $391$365 million in indirect exposure to loans insured or securities issued or guaranteed by Puerto Rico governmental entities but whosefor which the principal source of repayment are isnon-governmental entities. In such obligations, the Puerto Rico government entity guarantees any shortfall in collateral in the event of borrower default ($406368 million at December 31, 2016)2018). These included $313$290 million in residential mortgage loans guaranteedinsured by the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (“HFA”), an entitya governmental instrumentality that has been designated as a covered entity under PROMESA (December 31, 20162018 - $326$293 million). These mortgage loans are secured by the underlyingfirst mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA guarantee serves to cover shortfalls in collateralinsurance covers losses in the event of a borrower default.default and subsequent foreclosure of the underlying property. The Corporation also had at March 31, 2019, $45 million in bonds issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto Rico residential properties, and for which HFA also provides insurance to cover losses in the event of a borrower default and subsequent foreclosure of the underlying property (December 31, 2018 - $45 million). In the event that the mortgage loans insured by HFA and held by the Corporation directly or those serving as collateral for the HFA bonds default and the collateral is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance of these loans, HFA’s ability to honor its insurance will depend, among other factors, on the financial condition of HFA at the time such obligations become due and payable. Although the Governor is currently authorized by local legislation to impose a temporary moratorium on the financial obligations of the HFA, he has not exercised this power as of the date hereof. Also,In addition, at March 31, 2019, the Corporation had $43$7 million in Puerto Rico housing bondssecurities issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto Rico residential properties, $6 million in pass-through securities that have been economically defeased and refunded and for which collateral includingsecurities consisting of U.S. agencies and Treasury obligations hashave been escrowed (December 31, 2018 - $7 million), and $29$23 million of commercial real estate notes issued by government entities but that are payable from rent paid by thirdnon-governmental parties ($43 million, $6 million and $31 million at December(December 31, 2016, respectively)2018 - $23 million).

BPPR’s commercial loan portfolio also includes loans to private borrowers who are service providers, lessors, suppliers or have other relationships with the government. These borrowers could be negatively affected by the fiscal measures to be implemented to address the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis and the ongoing Title III proceedings under PROMESA described above. Similarly, BPPR’s mortgage and consumer loan portfolios include loans to government employees which could also be negatively affected by fiscal measures such as employee layoffs or furloughs.

The Corporation has operations in the United States Virgin Islands (the “USVI”) and has approximately $82$75 million in direct exposure to USVI government entities. The USVI has been experiencing a number of fiscal and economic challenges that could adversely affect the ability of its public corporations and instrumentalities to service their outstanding debt obligations. In addition, in September 2017, the USVI was also severely impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which will pose additional challenges to the USVI government and could further materially adversely affect the USVI economy.

Other contingencies

As indicated in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as part of the loss sharing agreements related to the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction, the Corporation agreed to make atrue-up payment to the FDIC on the date that is 45 days following the last day of the final shared loss month, or upon the final disposition of all covered assets under the loss sharing agreements in the event losses on the loss sharing agreements fail to reach expected levels. The fair value of thetrue-up payment obligation was estimated at $ 167 million at September 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $ 153 million). For additional information refer to Note 10.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of Popular’s business ordinarily results in a certain number of claims, litigation, investigations, and legal and administrative cases and proceedings (“Legal Proceedings”). When the Corporation determines that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted, it vigorously defends itself. The Corporation will consider the settlement of cases (including cases where it has meritorious defenses) when, in management’s judgment, it is in the best interest of both the Corporation and its shareholders to do so.

On at least a quarterly basis, Popular assesses its liabilities and contingencies relating to outstanding Legal Proceedings utilizing the latest information available. For matters where it is probable that the Corporation will incur a material loss and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Corporation establishes an accrual for the loss. Once established, the accrual is adjusted on at least a quarterly basis as appropriate to reflect any relevant developments. For matters where a material loss is not probable, or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual is established.

In certain cases, exposure to loss exists in excess of the accrual to the extent such loss is reasonably possible, but not probable. Management believes and estimates that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses (with respect to those matters where such limits may be determined, in excess of amounts accrued), for current Legal Proceedings rangesranged from $0 to approximately $27.8$31.5 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. For certain other cases, management cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss at this time. Any estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the Legal Proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages), the existence of multiple defendants in several of the current Legal Proceedings whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous unresolved issues in many of the Legal Proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such Legal Proceedings. Accordingly, management’s estimate will change fromtime-to-time, and actual losses may be more or less than the current estimate.

While the outcome of Legal Proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, and available insurance coverage, management believes that the amount it has already accrued is adequate and any incremental liability arising from the Corporation’s Legal Proceedings in matters in which a loss amount can be reasonably estimated will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters in a reporting period, if unfavorable, may becould have a material toadverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position in afor that particular period.

Set forth below is a description of the Corporation’s significant legal proceedings.Legal Proceedings.

BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO

Hazard Insurance Commission-Related Litigation

Popular, Inc., BPPR and Popular Insurance, LLC (the “Popular Defendants”) have been named defendants in a putative class action complaint captionedPerez Pérez Díaz v. Popular, Inc., et al, filed before the Court of First Instance, Arecibo Part. The complaint seeks damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief on behalf of the purported class against the Popular Defendants, as well as Antilles Insurance Company and MAPFRE-PRAICO Insurance Company (the “Defendant Insurance Companies”). Plaintiffs essentially allege that the Popular Defendants have been unjustly enriched by failing to reimburse them for commissions paid by the Defendant Insurance Companies to the insurance agent and/or mortgagee for policy years when no claims were filed against their hazard insurance policies. They demand the reimbursement to the purported “class” of an estimated $400 million plus legal interest, for the “good experience” commissions allegedly paid by the Defendant Insurance Companies during the relevant time period, as well as injunctive relief seeking to enjoin the Defendant Insurance Companies from paying commissions to the insurance agent/mortgagee and ordering them to pay those fees directly to the insured. A hearing on the request for preliminary injunction and other matters was held on February 15, 2017, as a result of which plaintiffs withdrew their request for preliminary injunctive relief. A motion for dismissal on the merits, which the Defendant Insurance Companies filed shortly before hearing, was denied with a right to replead following limited targeted discovery. On March 24, 2017, the Popular Defendants filed a certiorari petition with the Puerto

The Court of Appeals deniedIn December 2017, plaintiffs sought to amend the Popular Defendant’s request,complaint and, the Popular Defendants appealed this determination to the Puerto Rico Supreme Court, which declined review. A motion for reconsideration is pending resolution.on January 2018, defendants filed an answer thereto. Separately, a class certification hearing was held in June and the Court requested post-hearing briefs on this issue. On October 26, 2017, the Court entered an order whereby it broadly certified the class. Atclass after which the Popular Defendants filed a hearing held on November 2, 2017,certiorari petition before the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals in relation to the class certification, which the Court encourageddeclined to entertain. In November 2018 and in January 2019, Plaintiffs filed voluntary dismissal petitions against MAPFRE-PRAICO Insurance Company and Antilles Insurance Company, respectively. Hence, now the partiesPopular Defendants remain the sole defendants in this action.

A status conference was held in March 2019, where, among other things, plaintiffs stated that they sought to reach agreement on discovery andmake changes to the certified class notification procedures. The Court further allowed defendants until January 4, 2018that seek to answerbetter define the complaint. Afollow-up hearing was set for March 6, 2018. BPPR is currently evaluating its next steps, which may include filing an interlocutory appealsize of the class certification order.as well as the scope of the remedies sought by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs submitted their proposed changes to the class on April 8, 2019, which were timely opposed by Popular. A status and settlement conference is set for October 22, 2019.

BPPR has separately been named a defendant in a putative class action complaint captionedRamirez Torres, et al. v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, et al, filed before the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance, San Juan Part.Part. The complaint seeks damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief on behalf of the purported class against the same Popular Defendants, as well as other financial institutions with insurance brokerage subsidiaries in Puerto Rico. Plaintiffs essentially contend that in November 2015, Antilles Insurance Company obtained approval from the Puerto Rico Insurance Commissioner to market an endorsement that allowed its customers to obtain reimbursement on their insurance deductible for good experience, but that defendants failed to offer this product or disclose its existence to their customers, favoring other products instead, in violation of their duties as insurance brokers. Plaintiffs seek a determination that defendants unlawfully failed to comply with their duty to disclose the existence of this new insurance product, as well as double or treble damages (the latter subject to a determination that defendants engaged in anti-monopolisticmonopolistic practices in failing to offer this product). Between late March and early April of 2017, co-defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint and opposed the request for preliminary injunctive relief. Aco-defendant filed a third-party Complaint against Antilles Insurance Company. A preliminary injunction and class certification hearing originally scheduled for April 6th6, 2017 was subsequently postponed, pending resolution of the motions to dismiss. OnIn July 31, 2017, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. In August 2017, plaintiffs appealed this judgment.

A third putative class action also tangentially relatedjudgment and, in March 2018, the Court of Appeals reversed the Court of First Instance’s dismissal. In May 2018, all defendants filed their respective Petitions of Certiorari to hazard insurance policies and captionedMorales v. Banco Popular dethe Puerto Rico et al.,Supreme Court, which denied review. On May 2, 2019, a hearing was filedheld in May 2017. Plaintiffs averthe Court of First Instance, where the parties requested that BPPR forced-placed hazard insurancethe Court first determine the validity of the endorsement obtained by Antilles Insurance Company and approved by the Puerto Rico Insurance Commissioner, which was challenged by the co-defendant in the third-party complaint. The Court agreed to first rule on their mortgaged propertiesthe validity of the endorsement and set an injunction hearing for September 2019 in violationcase the validity of Puerto Rico’s implied covenant of good faith, BPPR’s alleged fiduciary duties as the escrow account manager of their mortgage loans, the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Plaintiffs seek class certification, an order enjoining BPPR and other unnamed defendants from maintaining their allegedly fraudulent practices concerning forced-placed hazard insurance, unspecified compensatory damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. On July 19, 2017, BPPR filed a motion for summary judgment, whichsaid endorsement is pending resolution.upheld.

Mortgage-Related Litigation and Claims

BPPR has been named a defendant in a putative class action captioned Lilliam González Camacho, et al. v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, et al., filed before the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico on behalf of mortgage-holders who have allegedly been subjected to illegal foreclosures and/or loan modifications through their mortgage servicers. Plaintiffs essentially contendmaintain that when they sought to reduce their loan payments, defendants failed to provide them with such reduced loan payments, instead subjecting them to lengthy loss mitigation processes while filing foreclosure claims against them in parallel.parallel (or dual tracking). Plaintiffs assert that such actions violate HAMP, HARPthe Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”), the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) and other federally sponsored loan modification programs, as well as the Puerto Rico Mortgage Debtor Assistance Act and TILA.the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”). For the alleged violations stated above, Plaintiffsplaintiffs request that all Defendantsdefendants (over 20, separate defendants have been named, including all local banks), be held jointly and severally respondliable in an amount of no less than $400 million. BPPR waived service of process in June 2017 and filed a motion to dismiss in August which is2017, as did most co-defendants. On March 2018, the District Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety. After being denied reconsideration by the District Court, on August 2018, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On January 22, 2019, the Appellants filed their brief. Appellees’ filed a request for extension of time to file their brief, until March 27, 2019. However, on March 12, 2019, the Court of Appeals entered an order where it consolidated three pending resolution.appeals related to the same subset of facts. Thus, the briefs filed by the Appellants were vacated and the Clerk of the Court has yet to set a new briefing schedule.

BPPR has also been named a defendant in two separateanother putative class actionsaction captionedCosta Dorada Apartment Corp., et al. v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, et al., andYiries Josef Saad Maura v. Banco Popular, et al.al., filed by the same counsel who filed theGonzález Camacho action referenced above, on behalf of commercial and residential customers of the defendant banks who have allegedly been subject to illegal foreclosures and/or loan modifications through their mortgage servicers. Plaintiffs essentiallyAs in González Camacho, plaintiffs contend that when they sought to reduce their loan payments, defendants failed to provide them with such reduced loan payments, instead subjecting them to lengthy loss mitigation processes while filing foreclosure claims against them in parallel, (dual tracking), all in violation of TILA, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) and other consumer-protection laws and regulations. They demand approximately $1 billion (inCosta Dorada)Plaintiffs did not include a specific amount of damages in their complaint. After waiving service of process, BPPR filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the same grounds as those asserted in the González Camacho action (as did most co-defendants, separately). BPPR further filed a motion to oppose class certification, which the Court granted, denying the motion for class certification in September 2018. On April 5, 2019, the Court entered an Opinion and unspecified damages (inSaad Maura). BancoOrder granting BPPR’s and several other defendants’ motions to dismiss with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration on April 15, 2019, which Popular has not yet been served with summons in relation to either matter.timely opposed and which remains pending.

BPPR has been named a defendant in a complaint for damages and breach of contract captionedHéctor Robles Rodriguez et al. v. Municipio de Ceiba, et al.al. Plaintiffs are residents of a development called Hacienda Las Lomas. Through the Doral Bank-FDIC assisted transaction, BPPR acquired a significant number of mortgage loans within in this development and is currently the primary creditormortgage lender in the project. Plaintiffs claim damages against the developer, contractor, the relevant insurance companies, and most recently, their mortgage lenders, as a resultbecause of a landslide that occurred in October 2015, affecting various streets and houses within the development. Plaintiffs specifically allege that the mortgage lenders, including BPPR, should be deemed liable for their alleged failure to properly inspect the subject properties. Plaintiffs demand in excess of $30 million in damages plus attorney’s fees, costs and the annulment of their mortgage deeds.mortgages. BPPR has recentlyextended plaintiffs four consecutive six-month payment forbearances, the last of which is still in effect, and it is engaged in preliminary settlement discussions with plaintiffs. In November 2017, the FDIC notified BPPR that it had agreed to indemnify the Bank in connection with its Doral Bank-related exposure, pursuant to the terms of the relevant Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC. The FDIC filed a Notice of Removal to the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico (“USDC”) on March 2018 and, in April 2018, the state court stayed the proceedings in response thereto. On October 18, 2018, the Court granted FDIC’s motion to stay the proceedings until plaintiffs have exhausted administrative remedies.

Mortgage-Related Investigations

The Corporation and its subsidiaries from time to time receive requests for information from departments of the U.S. government that investigate mortgage-related conduct. In particular, BPPR has received subpoenas and other requests for information from the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Office of the Inspector General, the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of the Inspector General mainly concerning real estate appraisals and residential and construction loans in Puerto Rico. The Corporation is cooperating with these requests and is in discussions with the relevant U.S. government departments regarding the resolution of such matters. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of those discussions.

Separately, it has come to the attention ofin July 2017, management learned that certain letters generated by the Corporation to comply with Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) rules requiring written notification to borrowers who have submitted a loss mitigation application were not mailed to borrowers over a period of up to approximately three-years due to a systems interface error. Loss mitigation is a process whereby creditors work with mortgage loan borrowers who are having difficulties making their loan payments on their debt. The loss mitigation process applies both to mortgage loans held by the Corporation and to mortgage loans serviced by the Corporation for third parties. The Corporation has corrected the systems interface error that caused the letters not to be sent.

The Corporation has notified applicable regulators and is conductingconducted a review of its mortgage files to assess the scope of potential customer impact. Based on currently available information, we believeThe review found that althoughwhile the mailing error extended to approximately 20,00023,000 residential mortgage loans (approximately 50% of which are serviced by the Corporation for third parties), the number of borrowers actually affectedharmed by the mailing error was substantially lowerlower. This was due to, among other things, the fact that more than half of all borrowers potentially subject to such error closed on a permanent loss mitigation alternative and the fact that the Corporation regularly uses means other than the mail to communicate with borrowers, including email and hand delivery of written notices at our mortgage servicing centers or bank branches.

The Corporation will begin Importantly, more than half of those borrowers potentially subject to such error actually closed on a loss mitigation alternative. Furthermore, the Corporation’s outreach and remediation efforts with respect to potentially affected borrowers are substantially complete.

The Corporation has also engaged in remediation with outstanding loans that have not closed on a permanent loss mitigation alternative during the fourth quarter of 2017respect to other printing and expects that it will be able to make a final determinationmailings incidents and other servicing matters in its mortgage servicing operation.

The Corporation is engaged in ongoing dialogue with applicable regulators with respect to the action it will take regarding all potentially impacted borrowers byaforementioned mortgage servicing matters and there can be no assurances as to the first quarter of 2018.outcome thereof. At this point, we are not able to estimate the financial impact of the failure to mail the loss mitigation notices.foregoing.

Other Significant Proceedings

In June 2017, a syndicate comprised of BPPR and other local banks (the “Lenders”) filed an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding against Betteroads Asphalt and Betterecycling Corporation (the “Involuntary Debtors”). This filing followed attempts by the Lenders to restructure and resolve the Involuntary Debtors’ obligations and outstanding defaults under a certain credit agreement, first through good faith negotiations and subsequently, through the filing of a collection action against the Involuntary Debtors in local court. The involuntary debtors subsequently counterclaimed, asserting damages in excess of $900 million. The Lenders ultimately joined in the commencement of these involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against the Debtors in order to preserve and recover the Involuntary Debtors’ assets, having confirmed that the Involuntary Debtors were transferring assets out of their estate for little or no consideration. The Involuntary Debtors subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the proceedings and for damages against the syndicate, arguing both that this petition was filed in bad faith and that there was a bona fide dispute as to the petitioners’ claims, as set forth in the counterclaim filed by the Involuntary Debtors in local court. The court allowed limited discovery to take place prior to an evidentiary hearing (still unscheduled and to be held after the discoverycut-off date) to determine the merits of debtors’ motion to dismiss. A separate

On November 30, 2018, the Court issued an order where it ruled that: (1) the Lenders, as petitioning creditors, satisfied the three-prong requirement for filing an involuntary petition; (2) nonetheless, bad faith is an independent cause for dismissal of an involuntary petition under section 303(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (3) the Involuntary Debtors failed to show that dismissal pursuant to section 305(a)(1) abstention is in the best interest of both the creditors and the debtors. An evidentiary hearing will be heardis set for June 27 and 28, 2019 to consider whether the involuntary petitions were filed in November to entertain creditors’ motion to appoint a trustee.bad faith, that is, for an improper purpose that constitutes an abuse of the bankruptcy process.

POPULAR SECURITIES

Puerto Rico Bonds andClosed-End Investment Funds

The volatility in prices and declines in value that Puerto Rico municipal bonds andclosed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto Rico municipal bonds have experienced since August 2013 have led to regulatory inquiries, customer complaints and arbitrations for most broker-dealers in Puerto Rico, including Popular Securities. Popular Securities has received customer complaints and is named as a respondent (among other broker-dealers) in 86169 arbitration proceedings with aggregate claimed amounts of approximately $209$201 million, including one arbitration with claimed damages of approximately $78 million in which another Puerto Rico broker-dealer is aco-defendant.$30 million. While Popular Securities believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in these proceedings, it has often determined that it is in its best interest to settle suchcertain claims rather than expend the money and resources required to see such cases to completion. The Puerto Rico Government’s defaults andnon-payment of its various debt obligations, as well as the Commonwealth government’sCommonwealth’s and the Financial Oversight Management Board’s (the “Oversight Board”) decision to pursue restructurings under Title III and Title VI of PROMESA, have increased and may continue to increase the number of customer complaints (and claimed damages) filed against Popular Securities concerning Puerto Rico bonds including bonds issued by COFINA and GDB, andclosed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto Rico bonds. An adverse result in the mattersarbitration proceedings described above, or a significant increase in customer complaints, could have a material adverse effect on Popular.

Subpoenas for Production of Documents in connection with PROMESA Title III Proceedings

Popular Securities has, together with Popular, Inc. and BPPR (collectively,In 2017, the “Popular Companies”) recently filedOversight Board engaged the law firm of Kobre & Kim to carry out an appearance in connection withindependent investigation on behalf of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s pending Title III bankruptcy proceeding. Its appearance was prompted by a request by the Commonwealth’s Unsecured Creditors’ Committee (“UCC”) to allow a broad discovery program under Rule 2004 to investigate,Oversight Board regarding, among other things, the causes of the Puerto Rico financial crisis. The Rule 2004 request seeks broad discovery not only fromPopular, Inc., BPPR and Popular Securities (collectively, the Popular Companies, but also from Banco Santander de Puerto Rico (“Santander”“Popular Companies”) were served by, and others, spanning in excess of eleven (11) years. In their respective objections, both the Popular Companies and Santander argued that these requests go substantially beyond the permissible scope of Rule 2004 discovery programs and should either be denied outright or substantially modified. A hearing before Magistrate Judge Gail Dein was held on August 9, 2017. At the hearing, the Court requested that the UCC andcooperated with, the Oversight Board who opposed the UCC’s request, submit further briefing on this subject. The parties are to argue their respective positions at the upcoming omnibus hearing, to be held on November 15, 2017.

Since the August 2017 hearing, the Popular Companies have been servedin connection with additional requests for the preservation and voluntary production of certain COFINA-related documents fromand witnesses with respect to Kobre & Kim’s independent investigation.

On August 20, 2018, Kobre & Kim issued its Final Report, which contained various references to the Popular Companies, including an allegation that Popular Securities participated as an underwriter in Commonwealth’s 2014 issuance of government obligation bonds notwithstanding having allegedly advised against it. The report discussed that such allegation could give rise to an unjust enrichment claim against the Corporation and could also serve as a basis to equitably subordinate claims filed by the Corporation in the Title III proceeding to other third-party claims.

After the publication of the Final Report, the Oversight Board created a special claims committee (“SCC”) and, before the end of the applicable two-year statute of limitations for the filing of such claims pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the SCC, along with the Commonwealth’s Unsecured Creditors’ Committee (“UCC”), filed various avoidance, fraudulent transfer and other claims against third parties, including government vendors and financial institutions and other professionals involved in bond issuances being challenged as invalid by the SCC and the UCC. Prior to the filing of those claims, the Popular Companies, the SCC and the UCC entered into a tolling agreement with respect to potential claims the SCC and the COFINA Agent in connection withUCC, on behalf of the COFINA-Commonwealth adversary complaint,Commonwealth or other Title III debtors, may assert against the Popular Companies for the avoidance and recovery of payments and/or transfers made to the Popular Companies or as well as froma result of any role of the Oversight Board’s Independent Investigator, Kobre & Kim.

POPULAR COMMUNITY BANK

Josefina Valle v. Popular Community Bank

PCB has been named a defendant in a putative class action complaint captionedJosefina Valle, et al. v. Popular Community Bank,filed in November 2012 in the New York State Supreme Court (New York County). Plaintiffs, PCB customers, allege among other things that PCB has engaged in unfair and deceptive acts and trade practices in connection with the assessment of overdraft fees and payment processing on consumer deposit accounts. The complaint further alleges that PCB improperly disclosed its consumer overdraft policies and that the overdraft rates and fees assessed by PCB violate New York’s usury laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, including punitive damages, interest, disbursements, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

A motion to dismiss was filed on September 9, 2013. On October 25, 2013, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint seeking to limit the putative class to New York account holders. A motion to dismiss the amended complaint was filed in February 2014. In August 2014, the Court entered an order granting in part PCB’s motion to dismiss. The sole surviving claim relates to PCB’s item processing policy. On September 10, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint to correct certain deficiencies noted in the court’s decision and order. PCB subsequently filed a motion in opposition to plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend and further sought to compel arbitration. In June 2015, this matter was reassigned to a new judge and on July 22, 2015, such Court denied PCB’s motion to compel arbitration and granted plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend the complaint to replead certain claims based on item processing reordering, misstatement of balance information and failure to notify customers in advance of potential overdrafts. The Court did not, however, allow plaintiffs to replead their claim for the alleged breach of the implied

covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On August 12, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. On August 24, 2015, PCB filed a Notice of Appeal as to the order granting leave to file the second amended complaint and on September 17, 2015, it filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On February 18, 2016, the Court granted in part and denied in part PCB’s pending motion to dismiss. The Court dismissed plaintiffs’ unfair and deceptive acts and trade practices claim to the extent it sought to recover overdraft fees incurred prior to September 2011. On March 28, 2016, PCB filed an answer to second amended complaint and on April 7, 2016, it filed a notice of appeal on the partial denial of PCB’s motion to dismiss.

Note 2322Non-consolidated variable interest entities

The Corporation is involved with fourthree statutory trusts which it created to issue trust preferred securities to the public. These trusts are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) since the equity investors at risk have no substantial decision-making rights. The Corporation does not hold any variable interest in the trusts, and therefore, cannot be the trusts’ primary beneficiary. Furthermore, the Corporation concluded that it did not hold a controlling financial interest in these trusts since the decisions of the trusts are predetermined through the trust documents and the guarantee of the trust preferred securities is irrelevant since in substance the sponsor is guaranteeing its own debt.

Also, the Corporation is involved with various special purpose entities mainly in guaranteed mortgage securitization transactions, including GNMA and FNMA. These special purpose entities are deemed to be VIEs since they lack equity investments at risk. The Corporation’s continuing involvement in these guaranteed loan securitizations includes owning certain beneficial interests in the form of securities as well as the servicing rights retained. The Corporation is not required to provide additional financial support to any of the variable interest entities to which it has transferred the financial assets. The mortgage-backed securities, to the extent retained, are classified in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition asavailable-for-sale or trading securities. The Corporation concluded that, essentially, these entities (FNMA and GNMA) control the design of their respective VIEs, dictate the quality and nature of the collateral, require the underlying insurance, set the servicing standards via the servicing guides and can change them at will, and can remove a primary servicer with cause, and without cause in the case of FNMA. Moreover, through their guarantee obligations, agencies (FNMA and GNMA) have the obligation to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

The Corporation holds variable interests in these VIEs in the form of agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, including those securities originated by the Corporation and those acquired from third parties. Additionally, the Corporation holds agency mortgage-backed securities agency collateralized mortgage obligations and private labelagency collateralized mortgage obligations issued by third party VIEs in which it has no other form of continuing involvement. Refer to Note 2524 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the debt securities outstanding at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, which are classified asavailable-for-sale and trading securities in the Corporation’s consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of financial condition.Financial Condition. In addition, the Corporation holds variable interests in the form of servicing fees, since it retains the right to service the transferred loans in those government-sponsored special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and may also purchase the right to service loans in other government-sponsored SPEs that were transferred to those SPEs by a third-party.

The following table presents the carrying amount and classification of the assets related to the Corporation’s variable interests innon-consolidated VIEs and the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Corporation’s involvement as servicer of GNMA and FNMA loans at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.2018.

The size of thenon-consolidated VIEs, in which the Corporation has a variable interest in the form of servicing fees, measured as the total unpaid principal balance of the loans, amounted to $11.9$10.4 billion at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2016—$12.32018 - $10.6 billion).

The Corporation determined that the maximum exposure to loss includes the fair value of the MSRs and the assumption that the servicing advances at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, will not be recovered. The agency debt securities are not included as part of the maximum exposure to loss since they are guaranteed by the related agencies.

In March of 2013, BPPR completed a sale of commercial and construction loans, and commercial and single family real estate owned to a newly created joint venture, PR Asset Portfolio2013-1 International, LLC.

The Corporation is not required to provide any other financial support to these joint ventures.

All decisions are made by Caribbean Property Group (“CPG”) (or an affiliate thereof) (the “Manager”), except for certain limited material decisions which would require the unanimous consent of all members. The Manager is authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the joint ventures any and all documents, contracts, certificates, agreements and instruments, and to take any action deemed necessary in the benefit of the joint ventures.

Note 2524 – Fair value measurement

ASC Subtopic820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels in order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

 

  

Level 1- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation on these instruments does not necessitate a significant degree of judgment since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily available in an active market.

 

  

Level 2- Quoted prices other than those included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

  

Level 3- Inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices when available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, the Corporation employs internally-developed models that primarily use market-based inputs including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, and credit curves, among others. Valuation adjustments are limited to those necessary to ensure that the financial instrument’s fair value is adequately representative of the price that would be received or paid in the marketplace. These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, the Corporation’s credit standing, constraints on liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently. There have been no changes in the Corporation’s methodologies used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities from those disclosed in the 20162018 Form10-K.

The estimated fair value may be subjective in nature and may involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment for certain financial instruments. Changes in the underlying assumptions used in calculating fair value could significantly affect the results.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, certain MBS and CMO’s amounting to $4.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to a change in valuation technique from an internally-prepared pricing matrix and discounted cash flow model, respectively, to a bond’s theoretical value. There were no transfers in and / or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and interest-only collateralized mortgage obligation (reported as “other”), which are classified in the “trading” category, are yield, constant prepayment rate, and weighted average life. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the constant prepayment rate will generate a directionally opposite change in the weighted average life. For example, as the average life is reduced by a higher constant prepayment rate, a lower yield will be realized, and when there is a reduction in the constant prepayment rate, the average life of these collateralized mortgage obligations will extend, thus resulting in a higher yield. These particular financial instruments are valued internally by the Corporation’s investment banking and broker-dealer unit utilizing internal valuation techniques. The unobservable inputs incorporated into the internal discounted cash flow models used to derive the fair value of collateralized mortgage obligations and interest-only collateralized mortgage obligation (reported as “other”), which are classified in the “trading” category, are reviewed by the Corporation’s Corporate Treasury unit on a quarterly basis. In the case of Level 3 financial instruments which fair value is based on broker quotes, the Corporation’s Corporate Treasury unit reviews the inputs used by the broker-dealers for reasonableness utilizing information available from other published sources and validates that the fair value measurements were developed in accordance with ASC Topic 820. The Corporate Treasury unit also substantiates the inputs used by validating the prices with other broker-dealers, whenever possible.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s mortgage servicing rights are constant prepayment rates and discount rates. Increases in interest rates may result in lower prepayments. Discount rates vary according to products and / or portfolios depending on the perceived risk. Increases in discount rates result in a lower fair value measurement.

The Corporation’s Corporate Comptroller’s unit is responsible for determining the fair value of MSRs, which is based on discounted cash flow methods based on assumptions developed by an external service provider, except for prepayment speeds, which are adjusted internally for the local market based on historical experience. The Corporation’s Corporate Treasury unit validates the economic assumptions developed by the external service provider on a quarterly basis. In addition, an analytical review of prepayment speeds is performed quarterly by the Corporate Comptroller’s unit. The Corporation’s MSR Committee analyzes changes in fair value measurements of MSRs and approves the valuation assumptions at each reporting period. Changes in valuation assumptions must also be approved by the MSR Committee. The fair value of MSRs are compared with those of the external service provider on a quarterly basis in order to validate if the fair values are within the materiality thresholds established by management to monitor and investigate material deviations. Back-testing is performed to compare projected cash flows with actual historical data to ascertain the reasonability of the projected net cash flow results.

Note 2625 – Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which an asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. For those financial instruments with no quoted market prices available, fair values have been estimated using present value calculations or other valuation techniques, as well as management’s best judgment with respect to current economic conditions, including discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, and prepayment assumptions. Many of these estimates involve various assumptions and may vary significantly from amounts that could be realized in actual transactions.

The fair values reflected herein have been determined based on the prevailing rate environment at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, as applicable. In different interest rate environments, fair value estimates can differ significantly, especially for certain fixed rate financial instruments. In addition, the fair values presented do not attempt to estimate the value of the Corporation’s fee generating businesses and anticipated future business activities, that is, they do not represent the Corporation’s value as a going concern. There have been no changes in the Corporation’s valuation methodologies and inputs used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value, but for which the fair value is disclosed from those disclosed in the 2016 Form10-K.value.

The following tables present the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments with their corresponding level in the fair value hierarchy. The aggregate fair value amounts of the financial instruments disclosed do not represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied by the Corporation by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to the customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized based on the services that have been rendered to date. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control over the service. The transaction price, or the amount of revenue recognized, reflects the consideration the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised services. In determining the transaction price, the Corporation considers the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Corporation is the principal in a transaction if it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. If the Corporation acts as principal, revenues are presented in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled and 2016, there wereare not netted with any related expenses. On the other hand, the Corporation is an agent if it does not control the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. If the Corporation acts as an agent, revenues are presented in the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled, net of related expenses.

Following is a description of the nature and timing of revenue streams from contracts with customers:

Service charges on deposit accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts are earned on retail and commercial deposit activities and include, but are not limited to, nonsufficient fund fees, overdraft fees and checks stop payment fees. These transaction-based fees are recognized at a point in time, upon occurrence of an activity or event or upon the occurrence of a condition which triggers the fee assessment. The Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.

Debit card fees

Debit card fees include, but are not limited to, interchange fees, surcharging income and foreign transaction fees. These transaction-based fees are recognized at a point in time, upon occurrence of an activity or event or upon the occurrence of a condition which triggers the fee assessment. Interchange fees are recognized upon settlement of the debit card payment transactions. The Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.

Insurance fees

Insurance fees include, but are not limited to, commissions and contingent commissions. Commissions and fees are recognized when related policies are effective since the Corporation does not have an enforceable right to payment for services completed to date. An allowance is created for expected adjustments to commissions earned related to policy cancellations. Contingent commissions are recorded on an accrual basis when the amount to be received is notified by the insurance company. The Corporation is acting as an agent since it arranges for the sale of the policies and receives commissions if, and when, it achieves the sale.

Credit card fees

Credit card fees include, but are not limited to, interchange fees, additional card fees, cash advance fees, balance transfer fees, foreign transaction fees, and returned payments fees. Credit card fees are recognized at a point in time, upon the occurrence of an activity or an event. Interchange fees are recognized upon settlement of the credit card payment transactions. The Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.

Sale and administration of investment products

Fees from the sale and administration of investment products include, but are not limited to, commission income from the sale of investment products, asset management fees, underwriting fees, and mutual fund fees.

Commission income from investment products is recognized on the trade date since clearing, trade execution, and custody services are satisfied when the customer acquires or disposes of the rights to obtain the economic benefits of the investment products and brokerage contracts have no stock options outstanding.

fixed duration and are terminable at will by either party. The Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions since it performs the service of providing the customer with the ability to acquire or dispose of the rights to obtain the economic benefits of investment products.

Asset management fees are satisfied over time and are recognized in arrears. At contract inception, the estimate of the asset management fee is constrained from the inclusion in the transaction price since the promised consideration is dependent on the market and thus is highly susceptible to factors outside the manager’s influence. As advisor, the broker-dealer subsidiary is acting as principal.

Underwriting fees are recognized at a point in time, when the investment products are sold in the open market at a markup. When the broker-dealer subsidiary is lead underwriter, it is acting as an agent. In turn, when it is a participating underwriter, it is acting as principal.

Mutual fund fees, such as distribution fees, are considered variable consideration and are recognized over time, as the uncertainty of the fees to be received is resolved as NAV is determined and investor activity occurs. The promise to provide distribution-related services is considered a single performance obligation as it requires the provision of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer. When the broker-dealer subsidiary is acting as a distributor, it is acting as principal. In turn, when it acts as third-party dealer, it is acting as an agent.

Trust fees

Trust fees are recognized from retirement plan, mutual fund administration, investment management, trustee, escrow, and custody and safekeeping services. These asset management services are considered a single performance obligation as it requires the provision of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer. The performance obligation is satisfied over time, except for optional services and certain other services that are satisfied at a point in time. Revenues are recognized in arrears, when, or as, the services are rendered. The Corporation is acting as principal since, as asset manager, it has the obligation to provide the specified service to the customer and has the ultimate discretion in establishing the fee paid by the customer for the specified services.

Note 28 – Other service feesLeases

The Corporation enters in the ordinary course of business into operating and finance leases for land, buildings and equipment. These contracts generally do not include purchase options or residual value guarantees. The remaining lease terms of 0.1 to 34.8 years considers options to extend the leases for up to 10.1 years. The Corporation identifies leases when it has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

The Corporation recognizesright-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities related to operating and finance leases in its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under the caption of other services feesassets and other liabilities, respectively. At March 31, 2019, ROU assets related to operating and finance lease amounted to $132 million and $17 million, respectively, and lease liabilities related to operating and finance leases amounted to $148 million and $24 million, respectively.

The Corporation uses the incremental borrowing rate for purposes of discounting lease payments for operating and finance leases, since it does not have enough information to determine the rates implicit in the consolidated statementsleases. The discount rates are based on fixed-rate and fully amortizing borrowing facilities of operations consistsits banking subsidiaries that are collateralized. For leases held bynon-banking subsidiaries, a credit spread is added to this rate based on financing transactions with a similar credit risk profile.

Note 31 - Stock-based compensation

Incentive Plan

In April 2004, the Corporation’s shareholders adopted the Popular, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan permits the granting of incentive awards in the form of Annual Incentive Awards, Long-term Performance Unit Awards, Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Units or Performance Shares. Participants in the Incentive Plan are designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (or its delegate as determined by the Board). Employees and directors of the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan.

Under the Incentive Plan, the Corporation has issued restricted shares and performance shares, which become vested based on the employees’ continued service with Popular. Unless otherwise stated in an agreement, the compensation cost associated with the shares of restricted stock is determined based on atwo-prong vesting schedule. The first part is vested ratably over five years commencing at the date of grant (the “graduated vesting portion”) and the second part is vested at termination of employment after attainment of 55 years of age and 10 years of service (the “retirementservice. The five-year vesting portion”). The graduated vesting portionpart is accelerated at termination of employment after attaining 55 years of age and 10 years of service. The vesting schedule for restricted shares granted on or after 2014 was modified as follows, the first part is vested ratably over four years commencing at the date of the grant (the “graduated vesting portion”) and the second part is vested at termination of employment after attainment of the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service (the “retirementservice. The four year vesting portion”). The graduated vesting portionpart is accelerated at termination of employment after attaining the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock and performance shares activity under the Incentive Plan for members of management.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no shares of restricted stock were awarded to management under the Incentive Plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 138,516 shares of restricted stock (September 30, 2016 – 279,890) were awarded to management under the Incentive Plan.

Beginning in 2015, the Corporation authorized the issuance of performance shares, in addition to restricted shares, under the Incentive Plan. The performance share awards consist of the opportunity to receive shares of Popular, Inc.’s common stock provided that the Corporation achieves certain goals during a three-year performance cycle. The goals will be based on two metrics weighted equally: the Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and the Absolute Earnings per Share (“EPS”) goals. The TSR metric is considered to be a market condition under ASC 718. For equity settled awards based on a market condition, the fair value is determined as of the grant date and is not subsequently revised based on actual performance. The EPS performance metric is considered to be a performance condition under ASC 718. The fair value is determined based on the probability of achieving the EPS goal as of each reporting period. The TSR and EPS metrics are equally weighted and work independently. The number of shares that will ultimately vest ranges from 50% to a 150% of target based on both market (TSR) and performance (EPS) conditions. The performance shares vest at the end of the three-year performance cycle. The vesting is accelerated at termination ofIf a participant terminates employment after attaining the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service. Duringservice, the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 no performance shares were granted.

The net deferred tax asset shown in the table above at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as $1.2$1.0 billion in net deferred tax assets in the “Other assets” caption (December 31, 2016—$1.22018 - $1.0 billion) and $1.4 million$930 thousand in deferred tax liabilities in the “Other liabilities” caption (December 31, 2016—$1.4 million)2018 - $926 thousand), reflecting the aggregate deferred tax assets or liabilities of individualtax-paying subsidiaries of the Corporation in their respective tax jurisdiction, Puerto Rico or the United States.

A deferred tax asset should be reduced by a valuation allowance if based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The determination of whether a deferred tax asset is realizable is based on weighting all available evidence, including both positive and negative evidence. The realization of deferred tax assets, including carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income of the same character during the carryback or carryforward period. The analysis considers all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax asset, including the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback years andtax-planning strategies.

At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 the net deferred tax asset of the U.S. operations amounted to $1.1 billion$724 million with a valuation allowance of approximately $616$401 million, for a net deferred tax asset of approximately $519$323 million. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, management estimated that the U.S. operations would earn enoughpre-tax Income during the carryover period to realize the total amount of net deferred tax asset after valuation allowance. After weighting all available positive and negative evidence, management concluded that is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset from the U.S. operation, amounting to approximately $519$323 million, will be realized. Management will continue to evaluate the realization of the deferred tax asset each quarter and adjust as any changes arises.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation’s net deferred tax assets related to its Puerto Rico operations amounted to $687$669 million.

The Corporation’s Puerto Rico Banking operation is not in a cumulative three year loss position and has sustained profitability for the three year period ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. This is considered a strong piece of objectively verifiable positive evidence that outweights any negative evidence considered by management in the evaluation of the realization of the deferred tax asset. Based on this evidence and management’s estimate of future taxable income, the Corporation has concluded that it is more likely than not that such net deferred tax asset of the Puerto Rico Banking operations will be realized.

The Popular, Inc., holding company (“PIHC”) operation is in a cumulative loss position taking into account taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences, for the three year period ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. Management expects these losses will be a trend in future years. This objectively verifiable negative evidence is considered by management as strong negative evidence that will suggest that income in future years will be insufficient to support the realization of all deferred tax asset. After weighting of all positive and negative evidence management concluded, as of the reporting date, that it is more likely than not that the PIHC will not be able to realize any portion of the deferred tax assets, considering the criteria of ASC Topic 740. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance is recorded on the deferred tax asset at the PIHC, which amounted to $62$95 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the total amount of accrued interest recognized in the statement of financial condition approximated $2.6$3.0 million (December 31, 2016—$2.92018 - $2.8 million). The total interest expense recognized at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was $458$149 thousand net of a reduction of $505 thousand due to settlement and $353 thousand due to the expiration of the statute of limitation (December(March 31, 2016—$1.2 million)2018 - $151 thousand). Management determined that at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018 there was no need to accrue for the payment of penalties. The Corporation’s policy is to report interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, whileswhile the penalties, if any, are reported in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

After consideration of the effect on U.S. federal tax of unrecognized U.S. state tax benefits, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including U.S. and Puerto Rico, that if recognized, would affect the Corporation’s effective tax rate, was approximately $8.5$9.8 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2016—$9.02018 - $9.0 million).

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for current tax year positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to the statutes of limitation, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examinations, litigation and legislative activity and the addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Puerto Rico, the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and political subdivisions, and foreign jurisdictions. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the following years remain subject to examination in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction: 20142015 and thereafter; and in the Puerto Rico jurisdiction, 20132014 and thereafter. The Corporation anticipates a reduction in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months, which could amount to approximately $4.5$4.7 million.

Note 34 – Segment reporting

The Corporation’s corporate structure consists of two reportable segments – Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Banco Popular North America. These reportable segments pertain only to the continuing operations of Popular, Inc.U.S.

Management determined the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. The segments were determined based on the organizational structure, which focuses primarily on the markets the segments serve, as well as on the products and services offered by the segments.

BancoPopular de Puerto Rico:

Given that Banco Popular de Puerto Rico constitutes a significant portion of the Corporation’s results of operations and total assets at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, additional disclosures are provided for the business areas included in this reportable segment, as described below:

 

Commercial banking represents the Corporation’s banking operations conducted at BPPR, which are targeted mainly to corporate, small and middle size businesses. It includes aspects of the lending and depository businesses, as well as other finance and advisory services. BPPR allocates funds across business areas based on duration matched transfer pricing at market rates. This area also incorporates income related with the investment of excess funds, as well as a proportionate share of the investment function of BPPR.

 

Consumer and retail banking represents the branch banking operations of BPPR which focus on retail clients. It includes the consumer lending business operations of BPPR, as well as the lending operations of Popular Auto and Popular Mortgage. Popular Auto focuses on auto and lease financing, while Popular Mortgage focuses principally on residential mortgage loan originations. During 2018, the Reliable brand was transferred to Popular, Inc. and is being used by Popular Auto. The consumer and retail banking area also incorporates income related with the investment of excess funds from the branch network, as well as a proportionate share of the investment function of BPPR.

 

Other financial services include the trust and asset management service units of BPPR, the brokerage and investment banking operations of Popular Securities, and the insurance agency and reinsurance businesses of Popular Insurance, Popular Insurance V.I., Popular Risk Services, and Popular Life Re. Most of the services that are provided by these subsidiaries generate profits based on fee income. Popular Insurance V.I. was dissolved on December 31, 2018.

Banco Popular North America:U.S.:

Banco Popular North America’sU.S. reportable segment consists of the banking operations of BPNA,E-LOAN, Inc., Popular Equipment Finance, Inc.Bank (PB) and Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A. BPNAPB operates through a retail branch network in the U.S. mainland under the name of Popular Community Bank, whileE-LOAN, Inc. supported BPNA’s deposit gathering through its online platform until March 31, 2017, when said operations were transferred to Popular Direct, a division of BPNA. Popular Equipment Finance, Inc. also holds arunning-off loan portfolio as this subsidiary ceased originating loans during 2009.Popular. Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A. offers investment and insurance services across the BPNAPB branch network.

The Corporate group consists primarily of the holding companies:companies Popular, Inc., Popular North America, Popular International Bank and certain of the Corporation’s investments accounted for under the equity method, including EVERTEC and Centro Financiero BHD, Leon. The Corporate group also includes the expenses of certain corporate areas that are identified as critical to the organization: Finance, Risk Management and Legal.León.

The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as those of the Corporation. Transactions between reportable segments are primarily conducted at market rates, resulting in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations.

Effective on January 1, 2019, the Corporation’s management changed the measurement basis for its reportable segments. Historically, for management reporting purposes, the Corporation had reversed the effect of the intercompany billings from Popular Inc., holding company, to its subsidiaries for certain services or expenses incurred on their behalf. In addition, the Corporation used to reflect an income tax expense allocation for several of its subsidiaries which are Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”) and had made an election to be treated as a pass through entities for income tax purposes. The Corporation’s management has determined to discontinue making these adjustments, effective on January 1, 2019, for purposes of its management and reportable segment reporting. The Corporation reflected these changes in the measurement of the reportable segments’ results prospectively beginning on January 1, 2019.

The tables that follow present the results of operations and total assets by reportable segments:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report includes management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the consolidated financial position and financial performance of Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Popular”). All accompanying tables, financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report should be considered an integral part of this analysis.

The Corporation is a diversified, publicly-owned financial holding company subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Corporation has operations in Puerto Rico, the United States (“U.S.”) mainland, and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the Corporation provides retail, mortgage, and commercial banking services through its principal banking subsidiary, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”), as well as investment banking, broker-dealer, auto and equipment leasing and financing, and insurance services through specialized subsidiaries. The Corporation’s mortgage origination business is conducted under the brand name Popular Mortgage, a division of BPPR. In the U.S. mainland, the Corporation operates Bancoprovides retail, mortgage and commercial banking services through its New York-chartered banking subsidiary, Popular North America (“BPNA”). The BPNA franchise operates under the name Popular Community Bank (“PCB”PB”). BPNA focuses efforts and resources on the core community banking business. BPNA operates, which has branches located in New York, New Jersey and Southern Florida. Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents information about the Corporation’s business segments.

The Corporation has several investments which it accounts for under the equity method. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had a 16.10%16.13% interest in the holding company of EVERTEC, which providesInc., whose operating subsidiaries provide transaction processing services throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, including servicingand services many of the Corporation’s system infrastructuressystems infrastructure and transaction processing businesses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation recorded $ 1.65.2 million in earnings from its investment in EVERTEC, which had a carrying amount of $ 46$65 million as of the end of the quarter. Also, the Corporation had a 15.84% stakeequity interest in Centro Financiero BHD Leon,León, S.A. (“BHD Leon”León”), one of the largest banking and financial services groups in the Dominican Republic. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation recorded $5.5 million in earnings from its investment in BHD Leon,León, which had a carrying amount of $129$149 million, as of the end of the quarter.

HURRICANES IRMA AND MARIASIGNIFICANT EVENTS

During September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria (the “hurricanes”), impacted Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, causing extensive damage and disrupting the markets in which Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”) does business.Accelerated share repurchase transaction

On September 6, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall inFebruary 28, 2019, the USVI and the BVICorporation entered into a $250 million accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) transaction with respect to its common stock, which was accounted for as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, causing catastrophic wind and water damage to the islands’ infrastructure, homes and businesses. Hurricane Irma’s winds and resulting flooding also impacted certain municipalities of Puerto Rico, causing the failure of electricity infrastructure in a significant portion of the island. While hurricane Irma also struck Popular’s operations in Florida, neither our operations nor those of our clients in the region were materially impacted.

Two weeks later, on September 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria, made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane, causing extensive destruction and flooding throughout Puerto Rico. Following the passage of Hurricane Maria, all Puerto Rico was left without electrical power, other basic utility and infrastructure services (such as water, communications, ports and other transportation networks) were severely curtailed and the government imposed a mandatory curfew. The hurricanes caused a significant disruption to the island’s economic activity. Most business establishments, including retailers and wholesalers, financial institutions, manufacturing facilities and hotels, were closed for several days.

Puerto Rico and the USVI were declared disaster zones by President Trump due to the impact of the hurricanes, thus making them eligible for Federal assistance. Notwithstanding the significant recovery operation that is underway by the Federal, state and local governments, as of the date of this report, most businesses and homes in Puerto Rico and the USVI remain without power, other basic utility and infrastructure remains significantly impacted, and many businesses are partially operating or remain closed. Electronic transactions, a significant source of revenue for the bank, have also declined significantly astreasury stock transaction. As a result of the lack of power and telecommunication services. Several reports indicate that the hurricanes have also accelerated the outmigration trends that Puerto Rico was experiencing, with many residents moving to the mainland United States, either on a temporary or permanent basis.

While it is too early to assess and quantify the full extentreceipt of the damage caused by the hurricanes, as well as their long-term impact on economic activity, the damages are substantial and have, at least in the short-term, had a material adverse impact on economic activity, as reflected by, among other things, the slowdown in production and sales activity and the reduction in the government’s tax revenues. Employment levels are also expected to decrease at least in the short-term. The speed at which the government is able to restore power and other basic services throughout Puerto Rico, which we are not able to predict, will be a critical variable in determining the extent of the impact on economic activity. Furthermore, the hurricanes severely damaged or destroyed buildings, homes and other structures, impacting the value of such properties, some of which may serve as collateral to our loans. While our collateral is generally insured, the value of such insured structures, as well as other structures unaffected by the hurricanes, may be significantly impacted. Although some of the impact of the hurricanes, including its short-term impact on economic activity, may be offset by recovery and reconstruction activity and the influx of Federal emergency funds and private insurance proceeds, it is too early to know the amount of Federal and private insurance money to be received and whether such transfers will significantly offset the negative economic, fiscal and demographic impact of the hurricanes.

Prior to the hurricanes,initial shares, the Corporation had implemented its business continuity action program. Although the Corporation’s business critical systems experienced minimal outages as a result of the storms, the Corporation’s physical operationsrecognized in Puerto Rico, the USVI and the BVI, including its branch and ATM networks, were materially disrupted by the storms mostly due to lack of electricity and communication as well as limited accessibility. As of November 7, 2017, 85% of BPPR’s bank branches were open and 69% of ATMs were operating. Reconstruction of the island’s electric infrastructure and restoration of the telecommunications network remain the most critical challenges for Puerto Rico’s recovery from the hurricanes.

After the hurricanes, Popular has worked diligently to provide service to the Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands markets, including reopening retail locations and providing assistance to the communities it serves. A priority for Popular has been to maintain cash in its branches and ATM’s and to mobilize its workforce to ensure continuity of service to its customers and that of other financial institutions. Popular has implemented several initiatives to provide assistance to individuals and businesses impacted by the hurricanes. Actions taken by Popular, directly or through its affiliated P.R. and U.S.-based foundations, include:

Payment Moratoriums. Payment moratoriums for eligible customers of up to three months in mortgage, consumer, auto and commercial loans, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Fee Waivers. The waiver of certain fees and service charges, including late-payment charges and ATM transaction fees in hurricane-affected areas.

Employee Relief. Popular increased the Employee Relief Fund to $750,000 to assist affected employees. Popular also assisted employees by providing means to obtain water, food and other supplies, child care services, orientation on how to submit claims to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) and other special offers.

Other Charitable Initiatives. The Corporation’s philanthropic arms, Fundación Banco Popular and the Popular Community Bank Foundation, launched relief efforts for the victims of hurricane Irma and Maria, through the “Embracing Puerto Rico” and “Embracing the Islands” campaigns, to which Popular has donated $1.1 million. As needs unfold, the Foundations are expected to direct funding to address immediate and long-term needs arising from the impact of the hurricanes. Popular also contributed to “Unidos por Puerto Rico”, a fundraising campaign spearheaded by Puerto Rico’s First Lady and was one of two sponsors of the “Somos Una Voz” concert that has raised over $35 million for earthquake victims in Mexico and hurricane victims in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Fundación Banco Popular is leveraging the relationships it has developed withnon-profit organizations and community leaders throughout its almost40-year history, delivering assistance directly to those who need it most.

Financial impact of the hurricanes

During the third quarter of 2017, the Corporation recorded $79.4shareholders’ equity approximately $200 million inpre-tax hurricane-related expenses, including an incremental provision for loan losses of $69.9 million. These amounts are net of amounts receivable for related insurance claims of $7.5 treasury stock and $50 million related to physical damages to the Corporation’s premises, equipment and other real estate owned (“OREO”).

In addition to the incremental provision and direct operating expenses, results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were impacted by the hurricanes in the form ofas a reduction in revenue resulting from reduced merchant transaction activity,capital surplus. The Corporation expects to further adjust its treasury stock and capital surplus accounts to reflect the waiverdelivery or receipt of certain late fees and service charges, including ATM transaction fees, to businesses and consumers in hurricane-affected areas, as well ascash or shares upon the economic and operational disruption in the Corporation’s mortgage origination, servicing and loss mitigation activities due to the hurricanes’ operational and economic impact. These revenue captions reflect approximately $11 million in lower income when compared to the previous quarter, primarily driven by the disruption in our operations over the last 10 daystermination of the quarter.

The impact on transactional and collection based revenues has continued into the fourth quarter and the amountASR agreement, which will depend on the speed at which electricity, telecommunications and general merchant services can be restored acrossaverage price of the region.Corporation’s shares during the term of the ASR.

Hurricanes impact on loan delinquenciesIncrease in quarterly common stock dividend

As noted in Note 8 topart of its capital plan for 2019, on January 23, 2019, the accompanying Financial Statements, due to the disruptions caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the Corporation’s payment channels, collection efforts and loss mitigation operations were interrupted and mainly unavailable for the last 10 days of the quarter. This disruption contributed toCorporation announced an increase in its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.25 per share to $0.30 per share, payable commencing in the levelsecond quarter of loan delinquencies as of September 30, 2017, as detailed in following schedule:

The disruption in payment channels, particularly our branch network, contributed to the spike in mortgage loans past due 30-89 days. Traditionally, one third of mortgage loan payments are made by our clients directly at our branches, many of which were unavailable for the last 10 days of the quarter. While the aggregate unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans past due 30-89 days increased by approximately $346.7 million at September 30, 2017 when compared to June 30, 2017, borrowers of loans with an aggregate approximate unpaid principal balance of $304.2 million, recorded as 30-89 past due at September 30, 2017, returned to current status as of the end of October. These borrowers made their September loan payments during the month of October and either also made their scheduled October payment or benefited from the loan payment moratorium extended by Popular.

We expect the hurricanes to continue to impact2019. On February 15, 2019, the Corporation’s earnings forBoard of Directors approved the quarter ending December 31, 2017 and future periods.

OVERVIEW

Table 1 provides selected financial data and performance indicators for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2018.

Adjusted results of operations –Non-GAAP financial measure

Adjusted net income

The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or the “reported basis”). In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management monitors “Adjusted net income” of the Corporation and excludes the impact of certain transactions on the results of its operations. Adjusted net income is anon-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that Adjusted net income provides meaningful information about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no adjustments identified by management to arrive at an Adjusted net income presentation. Refer to Tables 36 and 37 for a reconciliation of the reported results to the Adjusted net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, is presented with its different components in Tables 2 and 3 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016, segregated by major categories of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The interest earning assets include investment securities and loans that are exempt from income tax, principally in Puerto Rico. The main sources oftax-exempt interest income are certain investments in obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and sponsored entities, and certain obligations of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its agencies and municipalities and assets held by the Corporation’s international banking entities. To facilitate the comparison of all interest related to these assets, the interest income has been converted to a taxable equivalent basis, using the applicable statutory income tax rates for each period. The taxable equivalent computation considers the interest expense and other related expense disallowances required by the Puerto Rico tax law. Under this law, the exempt interest can be deducted up to the amount of taxable income. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis is anon-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this presentation provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison of revenues arising from taxable and exempt sources.

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly namedNon-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Table 1 - Financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2017

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation recorded net income of $ 20.7 million, compared to net income of $ 46.8 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The results for the quarter reflect the estimated impact of the hurricanes, which includespre-tax expenses of $79.4 million, as discussed above.

Net interest income was $378.2 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $24.5 million when compared with the same quarter of 2016. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $406.6 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $31.2 million when compared to $375.4 million for the same quarter of 2016. The increase in net interest income was mostly due to higher volume of money market and investment securities, higher income from commercial loans, offset by lower income from mortgage loans, the Westernbank portfolio and higher deposit costs. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2017 was 3.96%, a decrease of 16 basis points when compared to 4.12% for the same quarter of the previous year due mainly to changes in the asset mix.. Net Interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the third quarter of 2017 was 4.26%, a decrease of 11 basis points when compared to 4.37% for the same quarter of 2016. Refer to the Net Interest Income section of this MD&A for additional information.

The total provision for loan losses was $160.8 million, an increase of $117.4 million, compared to the same quarter of 2016, mainly related to the $69.9 million incremental provision related to the hurricanes impact and a provision of $37.0 million on the U.S. segment for the taxi medallion portfolio.

Non-performing assets, excluding covered loans and OREO, increased by $24 million from December 31, 2016, mostly related to higher P.R. mortgagenon-performing loans (“NPLs”) of $20 million, affected by disruptions to payment channels, collections and loss mitigation efforts related to the hurricanes. Refer to the Provision for Loan Losses and Credit Risk section of this MD&A for an explanation of the main factors impacting the provision for loan losses and a detailed analysis of net charge-offs,non-performing assets, allowance for loan losses and selected loan losses statistics.

Non-interest income increased by $24.4 million mainly due to a favorable variance in the FDIC loss share of $57.8 million mainly as a result of a $54.9 million charge related to the arbitration award recorded during the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by lower other service fees and mortgage banking activities, impacted by the business disruption caused by the hurricanes, lower gain on sale of loans and lower income from equity method investments.

Operating expenses decreased by $6.6 million mostly due to lower personnel costs, professional fees mainly related to legal expenses and the $3.8 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in Popular Securities in the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by higher business promotions and the write downs of premises, equipment and OREOs associated with Hurricane Maria.

For the third quarter of 2017, the Corporation recorded an income tax benefit of $20.0 million, reflecting the losses associated with the hurricanes and the benefit associated with exempt income, compared to an income tax expense of $15.8 million for the same quarter of the previous year.

Total assets at September 30, 2017 amounted to $42.6 billion, compared to $38.7 billion, at December 31, 2016. The increase of approximately $3.9 billion was mainly at BPPR due to higher money market investments and securitiesavailable-for-sale due to higher liquidity driven by an increase in deposits balances, mainly from the Puerto Rico government.

Total deposits at September 30, 2017 increased by $3.8 billion when compared to deposits at December 31, 2016, mainly due to an increase in deposits from the Puerto Rico public sector.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $5.3 billion at September 30, 2017 and $5.2 billion at December 31, 2016, an increase of $87.5 million. Such increase was due to the Corporation’s net income of $209.8 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss by $29.0 million, partially offset by the declaration of dividends of $ 76.6 million on common stock ($0.25 per share) and $ 2.8 million on preferred stock and the impact of the common stock repurchase plan of $75 million completed during the first quarter of 2017. Refer to the Financial Condition Analysis section of this MD&A for additional information.

Capital ratios continued to be strong. As of September 30, 2017, the Corporation’s Common equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 16.63%, while the Total Capital ratio was 19.62%. Refer to Table 14 for capital ratios.

As a financial services company, the Corporation’s earnings are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions in the markets which we serve. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by the level of business spending and investment, consumer income, spending and savings, capital market activities, competition, customer preferences, interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates on competing products.

The Corporation continuously monitors general business and economic conditions, industry-related indicators and trends, competition, interest rate volatility, credit quality indicators, loan and deposit demand, operational and systems efficiencies, revenue enhancements and changes in the regulation of financial services companies.

Hurricanes Irma and Maria have had and continue to have an impact on the people and communities in which the Corporation does business. The Corporation will continue to monitor the effects of these hurricanes on its operations and clients. Popular, as the leading financial institution in Puerto Rico, is committed to partnering with our neighbors and communities to aid in the rebuilding process.

The Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal and local laws and regulations. Also, competition with other financial institutions could adversely affect its profitability.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES / ESTIMATES

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. Various elements of the Corporation’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. These estimates are made under facts and circumstances

Ending Balances at a point in time and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce actual results that differ from those estimates.

Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. The Corporation has identified as critical accounting policies those related to: (i) Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments; (ii) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses; (iii) Acquisition Accounting for Loans and Related Indemnification Asset; (iv) Income Taxes; (v) Goodwill, and (vi) Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations. For a summary of these critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to that particular section in the MD&A included in Popular, Inc.’s 2016 Form10-K. Also, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2016 Form10-K for a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies.

Management believes that Adjusted net income provides meaningful information about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations. No adjustments to net income are reflected for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, is presented with its different components in Table 2 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared with the same period in 2018, segregated by major categories of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The interest earning assets include investment securities and loans that are exempt from income tax, principally in Puerto Rico. The main sources oftax-exempt interest income are certain investments in obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and sponsored entities, and certain obligations of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and/or its agencies and municipalities and assets held by the Corporation’s international banking entities. To facilitate the comparison of all interest related to these assets, the interest income has been converted to a taxable equivalent basis, using the applicable statutory income tax rates for each period. The taxable equivalent computation considers the interest expense and other related expense disallowances required by Puerto Rico tax law. Thereunder, the exempt interest can be deducted up to the amount of taxable income. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis is anon-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this presentation provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison of revenues arising from taxable and tax exempt sources.

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly namedNon-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2019

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Corporation recorded net income of $ 167.9 million, compared to net income of $ 91.3 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The results for the quarter reflect a higher net interest income by $77.9 million mainly due to higher income from investment securities due to higher volume of U.S. Treasury securities and higher income from auto loans impacted by the portfolio acquired as part of the Reliable Transaction, discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits. The provision for loan losses decreased by $29.2 million mainly due to a specific reserve of $21.6 million recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.Non-interest income was higher by $22.9 million mostly driven by the termination of the FDIC Shared-Loss Agreements during the second quarter of 2018, higher other service fees and higher earnings from investments under the equity method. Operating expenses were higher by $25.4 million mainly due to personnel costs reflecting our increase in headcount, and higher incentive related compensation.

Total assets at March 31, 2019 amounted to $48.7 billion, compared to $47.6 billion, at December 31, 2018. The increase of $1.1 billion was mainly due to higher balances on money market and investments in debt securitiesavailable-for-sale, and a higher loan portfolio balance.

Total deposits at March 31, 2019 increased by $1.2 billion when compared to deposits at December 31, 2018, mainly due to an increase in deposits from Puerto Rico public and private sectors.

Capital ratios continued to be strong. As of March 31, 2019, the Corporation’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.39%, while the total capital ratio was 19.00%. Refer to Table 7 for capital ratios.

Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. The Corporation has identified as critical accounting policies those related to: (i) Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments; (ii) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses; (iii) Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality Accounted for Under ASC310-30; (iv) Income Taxes; (v) Goodwill; and (vi) Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations. For a summary of these critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to that particular section in the MD&A included in Popular, Inc.’s 2018 Form10-K. Also, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2018 Form10-K for a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies, including those related to business combinations, and to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10Q for information on recently adopted accounting standard updates.

OPERATING RESULTS ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $378.2$471.0 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2019, an increase of $24.5$77.9 million when compared to $353.7$393.1 million for the same quarter of 2016.2018. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $406.6$510.5 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2019, an increase of $31.2$85.4 million when compared to $375.4$425.1 million for the same quarter of 2016.2018. The increase in $7.5 million in the taxable equivalent adjustment is directly related to a higher volume oftax-exempt investments in P.R. Net interest margin for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172019 was 3.96%4.20%, a decreasean increase of 1631 basis points when compared to 4.12%3.89% for the same quarter of the previous year. Net Interestinterest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172019 was 4.26%4.56%, a decreasean increase of 1134 basis points when compared to 4.37%4.21% for the same quarter of 2016. The decrease2018.The increase in net interest margin is mostly related to the changedeployment of excess liquidity to acquire the Reliable portfolio and purchase of approximately $3.0 billion in investment securities, thereby improving theafter-taxasset mix, dueyield.

As a result of the May 2018 termination of the loss share agreements (the “FDIC Shared-Loss Agreements”) entered into with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) in connection with the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Westernbank, the presentation of net interest income has been adjusted to present the balances and income from the loans acquired from Westernbank (the “WB Loans”) in their respective loan segments. Previously, the Corporation presented the income associated with the WB Loans aggregated into a higher proportionsingle line in its analysis of money market, investmentaverage balances and trading securities to total earning assets (38% this quarter versus 33% in the third quarteryields. The presentation for prior periods has been adjusted accordingly, for comparative purposes.

The detailed variances of 2016) as compared to the proportion of loans to earning assets which carry a higher yield. The main reasons for the increase in net interest income are described below:

Positive variances:

 

Higher interest income from money market investments due to both an increase in volume of funds available to invest, related to an increase in Puerto Rico government deposits, and to recent increases inmarket interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Averageexperienced during 2018. The average rate of such portfolios for the quarter increased 7688 basis points when compared to the same period in 2016;2018, partially offset by lower volume by $1.0 billion;

 

Higher interest income from investment securities mainly due to higher volumes particularly onfrom U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities related to recent purchases;purchases to deploy liquidity and benefit from the Puerto Rico tax exemption of these assets;

 

Higher interest income from commercial and constructionloans:

Commercial loans, driven by higher volume of loans mainly in the U.S. portfolio and the commercial loans acquired in the Reliable Transaction. Also improved yields in Puerto Rico mostly associatedrelated to the impacteffect on the variable rate portfolio of the above- mentionedabove-mentioned rise in interest rates and the origination in a higher interest rate environment;

Lease portfolio due to improved origination activity at Popular Auto;

Consumer loans driven by improved yield on the U.S. Federal Reserve.credit card portfolio and originations through the Eloan channel; and

Auto loans mainly due to the Reliable Transaction, which contributed $46.3 million in auto loans interest income, including the amortization of the fair value discount of $11.7 million, and improved activity in auto loan financing in Puerto Rico.

Negative variances:

 

Lower interest income from mortgage loans due to lower average balances resulting from lower lending activity and portfoliorun-off in P.R. and the U.S. and lower yields impacted by loan delinquencies as a result of the business disruption from Hurricanes Irma and Maria;

Lower interest income from loans acquired in the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction (“WB Loans”) related to the normal portfoliorun-off, as well as lower yields; and

Higher interest expense on deposits mainly due to higher volumescost of interest-bearing deposits in most categories, predominantlyU.S. by 51 basis points and 32 basis points in P.R. The increase was driven by higher volume through the increase in deposits from the Puerto Rico governmentdirect digital channel at Popular Bank and higher volumes in the U.S. to fund loan growth. These increases were partially offset by a lower average volume and cost of brokered certificates ofP.R. government deposits.

Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 includedMarch 31, 2019, including the amortization of deferred loans fees, prepayment penalties, late fees and the amortization of premium/discounts, amountingamounted to $4.7$16.3 million in income, including $12.2 million of fair value discount amortization related to the Reliable Transaction, compared to $5.1with $3.4 million in amortization income for the same period in 2016.2018.

Includes interest bearing demand deposits corresponding to certain government entities in Puerto Rico.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.1 billion, an increase of $48 million from the same period in 2016. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $64.0 million when compared to the same period of 2016. The increase of $16 million on the taxable equivalent adjustment for the period is related to a higher volume of exempt investment securities in the Puerto Rico portfolio. Net interest margin was 4.02%, a decrease of 27 basis points when compared to 4.29% for the same period in 2016. Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 4.31%, a decrease of 24 basis points when compared to the 4.55% for the same period of 2016. The variances in net interest income for the nine-month period are similar to the quarterly variances described above: positive variances in earning assets due to higher volume of investment securities and money markets and continued growth in the commercial portfolio in the U.S. and the leasing portfolio in Puerto Rico. The negative variances were due to lower volumes from WB loans, mortgage and consumer loans due to lower lending activity and the amortization of the portfolios, and the increase in interest expense on deposits due to higher volumes to fund the loan growth in the U.S. and the increase in Puerto Rico government deposits.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included the amortization of deferred loans fees, prepayment penalties, late fees and the amortization of premium/discounts, amounting to $16.9 million, compared to $13.3 million for the same period in 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

Damages associatedThe following discussion with Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted certain ofrespect to the Corporation’s asset quality measures, including higher delinquencies andnon-performing loans. Payment channels, collection efforts and loss mitigation operations were interrupted duringprovision for loan losses includes the last month of the quarterprovision for loans previously classified as “covered” as a result of the hurricanes. An incremental provision expenseFDIC Shared-Loss Agreements, which were terminated during the second quarter of $69.9 million was made to the allowance for loan losses based on management’s best estimate of the impact of the hurricanes on the Corporation’s loan portfolios as of September 30, 2017, and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, taking into consideration currently available information and the already challenging economic environment in Puerto Rico prior to the hurricanes.

Management has initially estimated that the effects of the hurricanes could result in loan losses in the range of $70 to $160 million. However, since the Corporation’s base allowance for loan losses already incorporated reserves for environmental factors such as unemployment and deterioration in economic activity of approximately $57.9 million, management increased the environmental factors reserve by $64.3 million to $122.2 million using the nearmid-range of the loan loss estimates as the best estimate. The $69.9 million provision also includes $5.6 million for the portfolio of purchased credit impaired loans, accounted for under ASC310-30, for which the estimated cash flows were adjusted to reflect the three-month payment moratoriums offered to certain eligible borrowers, as discussed above. Since there is significant uncertainty with respect to the full extent of the impact due to the unprecedented nature of Hurricane María, the estimate is judgmental and subject to change as conditions evolve. Management will continue to carefully assess and review the exposure of the portfolios to hurricane-related factors, economic trends and their effect on credit quality and the assessment and review could result in further loan loss provisions in future periods.2018.

The Corporation’s total provision for loan losses was $160.8$41.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared to $43.3$71.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, an increaseMarch 31, 2018, a decrease of $117.5 million, mainly related to the $69.9 million hurricanes impact and a provision of $37.0 million on the U.S. segment for the taxi medallion portfolio.

The provision for loan losses for thenon-covered loan portfolio totaled $157.7 million, compared to $42.6 million for the same quarter in 2016, an increase of $115.1$29.3 million, mostly related to the same factors previously described. The incremental provision related to the hurricanes for thenon-covered loans amounted to $66.4 million. Also, totalnon-covered net charge-offs increased by $17.9 million when compared with the same quarter in 2016, mainly in the mortgage and consumer portfolios at BPPR.

The provision for loan losses for thenon-covered loan portfolio at the BPPR segment totaled $115.1 million, compared to $36.3 million for the same quarter in 2016. The increase was mainly related to the previously described hurricanes impact of $66.4 million. Also, net charge-offs reflected an increase of $12.3 million, driven by higher consumer net charge-offs of $14.4 million, in part due to a $7.1 million recovery in the third quarter of 2016 related to the sale of previouslycharged-off credit cards and personal loans.segment.

The provision for loan losses for the BPNABPPR segment was $31.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $58.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $26.9 million, as the provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 included a $21.6 million impact related to a single commercial borrower.

The Popular U.S. segment continued to reflect strong growth and favorable credit quality metrics. The provision for loan losses for this segment amounted to $42.5$10.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $6.3$12.6 million for the same quarter in 2016. The provision increase of $36.2 million was mainly due to a provision of $37.0 million for the taxi medallion portfolio acquired from the FDIC in the Doral Bank transaction, accounted under ASC310-30. As of September 30, 2017, the taxi medallion portfolio had an unpaid principal balance of $233 million. Net of reserves, the carrying value of this portfolio is $93 million or approximately 40% of its unpaid principal balance, representing less than 1% of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio. This portfolio is mainly concentrated in New York City, which accounts for 95% of the portfolio balance, with an average carrying loan value of $261 thousand per medallion. Credit trends at BPNA continued to be favorable, excluding the taxi medallions portfolio, with low levels ofnon-performing loans and net charge-offs. Net charge-offs remain stable when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, reflecting a slight increase of $5.5 million.2018.

For the third quarter of 2017, the covered loan portfolio reflected a provision expense of $3.1 million, compared to $750 thousand provision for the same quarter in 2016. This increase was mainly due to adjustments in the estimated cash flows of purchased credit impaired loans accounted for under ASC310-10 to reflect the three-month payment moratoriums offered to certain eligible borrowers.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation’s total provision for loan losses totaled $253.9 million, compared with $128.7 million for the same period in 2016, increasing by $125.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the provision for loan losses for thenon-covered loan portfolio increased by $119.5 million when compared to the same period of 2016. The provision for the covered portfolio increased by $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period of 2016. The increase in provision was mostly driven by the hurricanes and the taxi medallion impacts, as previously described.

NON-INTERESTNon-Interest INCOMEIncome

Non-interest income increased by $24.4was $136.4 million for the first quarter ended September 30, 2017,of 2019, an increase of $22.9 million when compared with the same quarter of the previous year. The increaseAs discussed innon-interest income was principally due to:

Favorable Note 10, on May 22, 2018, the Corporation terminated the FDIC Shared-Loss Agreements with the FDIC. Excluding the favorable variance inon the FDIC loss share expense of $57.8$8.0 million, as a result of a $54.9non-interest income increased by $14.9 million charge related to the arbitration award recorded during the third quarter of 2016 and lower fair value adjustments to thetrue-up payment obligation which were mainly impacted by changes in the discount rate. Refer to Table 4 for a breakdown of FDIC loss share expense by major categories.

This increase was partially offsetprimarily driven by:

 

Lower

higher service charges on deposit accounts by $2.2 million due to higher fees on transactional cash management services;

higher other service fees by $5.7$3.7 million mainly in credit and debit card fees at BPPR as a result of lower interchange income resulting from lower transaction volumes due to the business disruption in the regions impacted by the hurricanes and lower debit card and credit card fees related to waivers during the month of September as a result of the disaster relief measures for customers implemented in response to Hurricanes Irma and Maria;retail auto loan servicing fee income;

 

Lower income from mortgage banking activities

higher unrealized net gains on equity securities by $10.0$2.1 million due to lower net gainmainly on saledeferred compensation plans that have an offsetting expense in personnel costs and an impairment charge of loans mostly due to lower volume from securitization transactions in part due to the business disruption caused by the hurricanes; higher unfavorable fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights; and lower mortgage servicing fees driven by an increase in delinquency, due to the impact of the hurricanes;$0.5 million recorded during 2018;

 

Lower net gain on sale of loans by $9.0 million principally due to the sale of a nonaccrual public sector credit during the third quarter of 2016;

The increase innon-interest income was due to:

Favorable variance in adjustments to indemnity reservesReliable Transaction, and higher gains on sales of $2.9 million, mostly due to an increase of $2.5 million in the reserve, during the second quarter of 2016, related to the residential mortgage loans bulk sale completed during 2013daily rental fleet units by BPPR;$1.1 million.

Favorable variance in FDIC loss share expense of $64.8 million as a result of the accretion of the indemnification asset, lower mirror accounting on recoveries on covered assets, and a $54.9 million arbitration award charge recorded during the third quarter of 2016,These increases were partially offset by a $5.5 million unfavorable adjustment related to commercial restructured loans; and

Higher other operating income by $3.6 million due to higher aggregate net earnings from investments under the equity method.

These favorable variances were partially offset by:

Lowerlower income from mortgage banking activities by $14.7$2.1 million due to lower net gain on sale of loans mostly due to lower volume from securitization transactions and lower mortgage servicing fees driven by an increase in delinquency, and higher unfavorable fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by lower realized losses on closed derivative positions;

Higher other-than-temporary impairment lossesderivatives positions by $5.0 million, partially offset by higher gains on investment securitiessecuritization transactions by $8.1 million mainly due to the other-than-temporary impairment charge of $8.3 million recorded during the second quarter of 2017 on senior Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”) bonds classified asavailable-for-sale, which were subsequently sold in the third quarter of 2017; and

$2.7 million.

Lower net gain on sale of loans by $8.7 million principally due to the sale of a nonaccrual public sector credit during the third quarter of 2016.

Refer to Table 5 for a breakdown of operating expenses by major categories. The decrease in operating expenses was2018, driven primarily by:

 

Lower

higher personnel cost by $1.6$17.3 million, mainlylargely impacted by a higher headcount, reflecting higher salaries by $6.1 million, higher commission, incentives and other bonuses by $4.4 million and higher other personnel cost by $6.9 million, which includes higher stock-based compensation by $2.1 million and the impact of the profit sharing plan of $3.6 million;

higher equipment expense by $2.5 million due to lower pension, postretirementhigher technology initiatives, software and medical insurance;maintenance expenses;

Lower

higher professional fees by $10.5$4.5 million mainlyprimarily due to higher programming, processing and other technology services by $8.9 million, partially offset by lower legal, fees related to the FDIC arbitration proceedings that were completed in 2016;consulting and advisory fees;

 

A goodwill impairment charge of $3.8

higher business promotion expense by $2.7 million at the securities subsidiary during 2016, recorded as part of the Corporation’s annual goodwill impairment analysis.due to higher advertising cost and higher consumer reward program expense; and

These decreases were partially offset by:

 

Higher business promotion

higher other operating expenses by $2.5$2.7 million mainly due to higher donations, which includes $1.1pension plan costs by $3.5 million, in donations to the hurricane relief efforts; and

Higher other operating expenses by $6.4 million due to $3.9 million of write-down of premises and equipment related to Hurricanes Irma and Maria and higher credit and debit card processing, volume and interchange expenses mainly due toby $3.6 million as a result of incentive received from exceeding volume based credits earnedtargets during 2016;the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by lower operational losses.

Operating expenses increasedlosses by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by:$5.0 million.

Higher equipmentThese increases were partially offset by lower other real estate owned expense by $2.9$3.5 million mainly due to higher softwaregains by $2.3 million mainly on sale on mortgage properties at BPPR and maintenance expenses;

Higher business promotion by $2.6 million due higher donations, which includes $1.1 million in donations to the hurricane relief efforts and higher customer reward program expense;

INCOME TAXES

ForIncome tax expense amounted to $50.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation recorded income tax benefit of $20.0 million,March 31, 2019, compared to anwith income tax expense of $15.8$22.2 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The increase on income tax expense is mainly attributed to higher taxable income, partially offset by the reduction in tax rate from 39% to 37.5%, effective on December 2018, and a higher tax benefit on net exempt interest income. The effective tax rate for the quarter reflectsended March 31, 2019 was 23%.

At March 31, 2019, the impact of the losses related to the hurricanes, which result inCorporation had a reduction of taxable income and the related effective tax rate in our Puerto Rico operations, as the level of exempt income increases in proportion to the Corporation’s taxable income.

On November 2, 2017, the House Ways and Means Committee unveiled a bill to reform the U.S. tax code. If the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) is enacted as currently proposed, the U.S. corporate tax rate will be reduced from the current 35% to 20%. This reduction would result in a reduction of the deferred tax asset and the(“DTA”) amounting to $1.0 billion, net of a valuation allowance pertaining to the U.S. operations with a net impact to income tax expense. If such change had occurred as of September 30, 2017, the Corporation would have recognized a one time income tax expense of approximately $190 million. This reduction in the tax rate will also result in the decrease of the effective tax rate of the Corporation in future periods. The future impact in earnings of the lower tax rate will depend on the sources and mix of the income earned in future periods. The Corporation expects that the changes to the U.S. corporate income tax rate, as currently proposed, will not have a material impact on the total deferred tax asset and the effective tax rate of the Puerto Rico operations.

The reduction in the deferred tax asset of the U.S. operations, as a result of the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate, would not have a significant impact on regulatory capital of the Corporation, since substantially all of U.S. deferred tax asset, net of the valuation allowance, is deducted from the regulatory capital calculation.

At September 30, 2017, Popular had a tangible book value per common share of $44.79. The deferred tax asset of the P.R. operations and the U.S. operations amounted to $6.73 and $5.09 of the total tangible book value per share, respectively.

REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS

The Corporation’s reportable segments for managerial reporting purposes consist of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Banco Popular North America.U.S. A Corporate group has been defined to support the reportable segments. For managerial reporting purposes, the costs incurred by the Corporate group are not allocated to the reportable segments.

For a description of the Corporation’s reportable segments, including additional financial information and the underlying management accounting process, refer to Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As discussed in Note 34, effective on January 1, 2019, the Corporation’s management changed the measurement basis for its reportable segments. Historically, for management reporting purposes, the Corporation had reversed the effect of the intercompany billings from itself, as holding company, to its subsidiaries for certain services or expenses incurred on their behalf. In addition, the Corporation used to reflect an income tax expense allocation for several of its subsidiaries which are Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”) and had made an election to be treated as pass through entities for income tax purposes. The Corporation’s management has determined to discontinue making these adjustments, effective on January 1, 2019, for purposes of its management and reportable segment reporting. The Corporation reflected these changes in the measurement of the reportable segments’ results prospectively beginning on January 1, 2019.

The Corporate group reported a net loss of $17.9$1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared with a net loss of $12.1$18.5 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The change was mostly driven by lower income from equity method investments and higher other operating expenses by $19.7 million due to the Corporation’s corporate expense allocations to its subsidiaries as a reserve releaseresult of the change in the segment reporting measurement discussed above. The Corporate group also recorded lower interest expense by $4.6 million due to the repayment in 2018 of the $450 million, 7% Senior Notes due on 2019, net of the issuance of $300 million, 6.125% Senior Notes due on 2023, during the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by a higher income tax benefit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporate group reported a net loss of $48.8 million, compared with a net loss of $46.8 million for the same period of the previous year.

Loans

Refer to Table 74 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s loan portfolio, the principal category of earning assets. Loans covered under the FDIC loss sharing agreements are presented separately in Table 7. The risks on covered loans are significantly different as a result of the loss protection provided by the FDIC. The FDIC loss sharing agreements expired on June 30, 2015 for commercial (including construction) and consumer loans, and expires on June 30, 2020 for single-family residential loans. As of September 30, 2017, the Corporation’s covered loans portfolio amounted to $525 million, comprised mainly of residential mortgage loans.

The Corporation’s total loan portfolio amounted to $ 23.8 billion at September 30, 2017, compared to $23.4 billion at December 31, 2016. ReferAlso, refer to Note 8 for detailed information about the Corporation’s loan portfolio composition and loan purchases and sales.

Loansheld-in-portfolio increased by $0.1 billion to $ 26.6 billion at March 31, 2019 mainly driven by growth of auto loans and leases at the BPPR segment.

The legacy portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, construction loans and lease financings related to certain lending products exited by the Corporation as part of restructuring efforts carried out in prior years at the BPNAPopular U.S. segment.

Non-covered loans

Thenon-covered loansheld-in-portfolio increased by $400 million to $ 23.2 billion at September 30, 2017. The net increase was mainly driven by the growth of commercial loans at BPNA.

The loansheld-for-sale portfolio decreased by $20 million from December 31, 2016, mainly at BPPR due to lower originations of mortgage loansheld-for-sale.

Covered loans

The covered loans portfolio amounted to $525 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $573 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease of $48 million is due to normal portfoliorun-off. Refer to Table 7 for a breakdown of the covered loans by major loan type categories.

Tables 8 and 9 provide the activity in the carrying amount and outstanding discount on the Westernbank loans accounted for under ASC310-30. The outstanding accretable discount is impacted by changes in cash flow expectations on the loan pool based on quarterly revisions of the portfolio. An increase in the accretable discount is recognized as interest income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of each applicable loan pool.

The FDIC loss share indemnification asset is recognized on the same basis as the assets subject to the loss share protection from the FDIC, except that the amortization / accretion terms differ. The Corporation revises its expected cash flows and estimated credit losses on a quarterly basis. Decreases in expected reimbursements from the FDIC due to improvements in expected cash flows to be received from borrowers, as compared with the initial estimates, are recognized as a reduction tonon-interest income prospectively over the life of the loss share agreements. This is because the indemnification asset balance is reduced to the expected reimbursement amount from the FDIC (amortization). In contrast, an increase tonon-interest income is recognized as a result of increases in expected reimbursements due to higher loss estimates (accretion). Table 11 presents the activity associated with the outstanding balance of the FDIC loss share asset accretion (amortization) for the periods presented.

Other real estate owned

Other real estate owned represents real estate property received in satisfaction of debt. At September 30, 2017, OREO decreased to $198 million from $213 million at December 31, 2016 mainly due to a decrease in residential properties at BPPR and the write-down of $2.7 million for damages associated with Hurricane Maria. Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the activity in other real estate owned. The amounts included as “covered other real estate” are subject to the FDIC loss sharing agreements.

Other assets

Other assets increased by $0.1 billion mainly due to the recognition ofright-of-use assets as a result of the implementation of the new lease accounting standard, as discussed in Note 3, which required balance sheet recognition of operating lease contracts.

The Basel III capital rules provide that a depository institution will be deemed to be well capitalized if it maintains a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based ratio of at least 10%. Management has determined that as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation, BPPR and BPNAPB continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.

The increasedecrease in the common equity tierTier I capital ratio, tierTier I capital ratio, and total capital ratio, and leverage ratio as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 20162018 was mainly attributed to higher risk weighted assets driven by the nine months period earnings,growth in auto loans and leases, the recognition ofright-of-use assets as a result of the implementation of the new lease accounting standard, and higheravailable-for-sale debt securities. Also contributing to the decrease in capital ratios is the accelerated share repurchase transaction of $250 million, partially offset by the common stock repurchase of $75 million completed during the first quarter of 2017, the payment of dividends on common and preferred stock and the transitionthree months period impact on deferred tax assets. The decrease in the leverage ratio was mainly attributed to the increase in average total assets. Refer to Table 1, Financial Condition Highlights, for information of average assets and to the Financial Condition Analysis section of this MD&A for a discussion of significant variances in assets.earnings.

Non-GAAP financial measures

The tangible common equity ratio, tangible assets and tangible book value per common share, which are presented in the table that follows, arenon-GAAP measures. Management and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. 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 the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

Table 158 provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2016.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation engages in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet, or may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different than the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. As a provider of financial services, the Corporation routinely enters into commitments withoff-balance sheet risk to meet the financial needs of its customers. These commitments may include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. These commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process used foron-balance sheet instruments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. Other types ofoff-balance sheet arrangements that the Corporation enters in the ordinary course of business include derivatives operating leases and provision of guarantees, indemnifications, and representation and warranties. Refer to Note 2120 for a detailed discussion related to the Corporation’s obligations under credit recourse and representation and warranties arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Corporation has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commercial commitments, which require future cash payments on debt and lease agreements. Also, in the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into contractual arrangements whereby it commits to future purchases of products or services from third parties. Obligations that are legally binding agreements, whereby the Corporation agrees to purchase products or services with a specific minimum quantity defined at a fixed, minimum or variable price over a specified period of time, are defined as purchase obligations.

Purchase obligations include major legal and binding contractual obligations outstanding at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, primarily for services, equipment and real estate construction projects. Services include software licensing and maintenance, facilities maintenance, supplies purchasing, and other goods or services used in the operation of the business. Generally, these contracts are renewable or cancelable at least annually, although in some cases the Corporation has committed to contracts that may extend for several years to secure favorable pricing concessions. Purchase obligations amounted to $160$340 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 of which approximately 30%56% mature in 2017, 33% in 2018,2019, 21% in 20192020, 12% in 2021 and 16%11% thereafter.

The Corporation also enters into derivative contracts under which it is required either to receive or pay cash, depending on changes in interest rates. These contracts are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition with the fair value representing the net present value of the expected future cash receipts and payments based on market rates of interest as of the statement of condition date. The fair value of the contract changes daily as interest rates change. The Corporation may also be required to post additional collateral on margin calls on the derivatives and repurchase transactions.

Refer to Note 17 for a breakdown of long-term borrowings by maturity.

The Corporation utilizes lending-related financial instruments in the normal course of business to accommodate the financial needs of its customers. The Corporation’s exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses credit procedures and policies in making those commitments and conditional obligations as it does in extending loans to customers. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total contractual amounts are not representative of the Corporation’s actual future credit exposure or liquidity requirements for these commitments.

Table 169 presents the contractual amounts related to the Corporation’soff-balance sheet lending and other activities at September 30, 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016, the Corporation maintained a reserve of approximately $9 million for probable losses associated with unfunded loan commitments related to commercial and consumer lines of credit. The estimated reserve is principally based on the expected draws on these facilities using historical trends and the application of the corresponding reserve factors determined under the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses methodology. This reserve for unfunded loan commitments remains separate and distinct from the allowance for loan losses and is reported as part of other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial condition.2019.

Refer to Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on credit commitments and contingencies.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Managing risk is an essential component of the Corporation’s business. Risk identification and monitoring are key elements in the overall risk management. Popular has a strong disciplined risk management culture where risk management is a shared responsibility by all employees.

Risk Management Framework

Popular’s risk management framework seeks to ensure that there is an effective process in place to manage risk across the organization. Popular’s risk management framework incorporates three interconnected dependencies: risk appetite, stress testing, and capital planning. The stress testing process incorporates key risks within the context of the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS)

defined in our Risk Management Policy. The process analyzes and delineates how much risk Popular is prepared to assume in pursuit of its business strategy and how much capital Popular’s activities will consume in light of a forward-looking assessment of the potential impact of adverse economic conditions. The RAS includes risk tolerance, limits, and types of risks the Corporation is willing to accept, as well as processes to maintain compliance with those limits.

Principal Risk Types

Credit Risk – Potential for default or loss resulting from an obligor’s failure to meet the terms of any contract with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or failure otherwise to perform as agreed. Credit risk arises from all activities where success depends on counterparty, issuer, or borrower performance.

Interest Rate Risk (“IRR”) – The risk to earnings or capital arising from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows (repricing risk); from changing rate relationships among different yield curves affecting bank lending and borrowing activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest related options embedded in bank products (options risk).

Market Risk – Potential for economic loss resulting from changes in market prices of the assets or liabilities in the Corporation’s or in any of its subsidiaries’ portfolios.

Liquidity Risk – Potential for loss resulting from the Corporation or its subsidiaries not being able to meet their financial obligations when they come due. This could be a result of market conditions, the ability of the Corporation to liquidate assets or manage or diversify various funding sources. This risk also encompasses the possibility that an instrument cannot be closed out or sold at its economic value, which might be a result of stress in the market or in a specific security type given its credit, volume and maturity.

Operational Risk – Possibility that inadequate or failed systems and internal controls or procedures, human error, fraud or external influences such as disasters, can cause losses. It includes the risk for those processes that have been outsourced to third parties and the risk of the inadequate use of models.

Compliance Risk – Potential for loss resulting from violations of ornon-conformance with laws, rules, regulations, or prescribed practices.

Regulatory and Legal Risk—Risk of negative impact to business activities, earnings or capital, regulatory relationships or reputation as a result of failure to comply with or a failure to adapt to current and changing regulations, law, rules, regulatory expectations, existing contracts or ethical standards.

Strategic Risk – Potential for loss arising from adverse business decisions or improper implementation of business decisions. Also, it incorporates how management analyzes external factors that impact the strategic direction of the Corporation.

Reputational Risk – Potential for loss arising from negative public opinion.

Risk Governance

The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has established a Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) to undertake the responsibilities of overseeing and approving the Corporation’s Risk Management Program, as well as the Corporation’s Capital Plan. The Capital Plan is a plan to maintain sufficient regulatory capital at the Corporation, BPPR and BPNA, which considers current and future regulatory capital requirements, expected future profitability and credit trends and, at least, two macroeconomic scenarios, including a base and stress scenario.

The RMC, as an oversight body, monitors and approves corporate policies to identify measure, monitor and control risks while maintaining the effectiveness and efficiency of the business and operational processes. As an approval body for the Corporation, the RMC reviews and approves relevant risk management policies and critical processes. Also, it periodically reports to the Board about its activities.

The Board and RMC have delegated to the Corporation’s management the implementation of the risk management processes. This implementation is split into two separate but coordinated efforts that include (i) business and / or operational units who identify, manage and control the risks resulting from their activities, and (ii) a Risk Management Group (“RMG”). In general, the RMG is mandated with responsibilities such as assessing and reporting to the Corporation’s management and RMC the risk positions of the Corporation; developing and implementing mechanisms, policies and procedures to identify, measure and monitor risks; implementing measurement mechanisms and infrastructure to achieve effective risk monitoring; developing and implementing the necessary management information and reporting mechanisms; and monitoring and testing the adequacy of the Corporation’s policies, strategies and guidelines.

The RMG is responsible for the overall coordination of risk management efforts throughout the Corporation and is composed of three reporting divisions: (i) Credit Risk Management, (ii) Compliance Management, and (iii) Financial and Operational Risk Management. The latter includes an Enterprise Risk Management function that facilitates, among other aspects, the identification, coordination, and management of multiple and cross-enterprise risks. The Corporation’s Model Validation and Loan Review group, which reports directly to the RMC and administratively to the Chief Risk Officer, also provides important risk management functions by validating critical models used in the Corporation and by assessing the adequacy of the Corporation’s lending risk function.

Additionally, the Internal Auditing Division provides an independent assessment of the Corporation’s internal control structure and related systems and processes. The Internal Audit Division also provides an assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s risk management function.

Moreover, management oversight of the Corporation’s risk-taking and risk management activities is conducted through management committees:

CRESCO (Credit Strategy Committee) – Manages the Corporation’s overall credit exposure and approves credit policies, standards and guidelines that define, quantify, and monitor credit risk. Through this committee, management reviews asset quality ratios, trends and forecasts, problem loans, establishes the provision for loan losses and assesses the methodology and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.

ALCO (Asset / Liability Management Committee) – Oversees and approves the policies and processes designed to ensure sound market risk and balance sheet strategies, including the interest rate, liquidity, investment and trading policies. The ALCO monitors the capital position and plan for the Corporation and approves all capital management strategies, including capital market transactions and capital distributions. The ALCO also monitors forecasted results and their impact on capital, liquidity, and net interest margin of the Corporation.

 

ORCO (Operational Risk Committee) – Monitors operational risk management activities to ensure the development
Table 9 -Off-Balance Sheet Lending and consistent application of operational risk policies, processes and procedures that measure, limit and manage the Corporation’s operational risks while maintaining the effectiveness and efficiency of the operating and businesses’ processes.Other Activities

 

Compliance Committees – Monitors regulatory compliance activities to ensure to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the Corporation’s policies.

There are other management committees such as the Fair Lending, Section 23A & B, New Products, Fiduciary Risk, and the BSA/Anti-Money Laundering Committees, among others, which provide oversight of specific business risks.RISK MANAGEMENT

Market / Interest Rate Risk

The financial results and capital levels of the Corporation are constantly exposed to market, interest rate and liquidity risks. The ALCO and the Corporate Finance Group are responsible for planning and executing the Corporation’s market, interest rate risk, funding activities and strategy, and for implementing the policies and procedures approved by the RMC and the ALCO. In addition, the Financial and Operational Risk Management Division is responsible for the independent monitoring and reporting of adherence with established policies to the Risk Management Committee, and enhancing and strengthening controls surrounding interest, liquidity and market risk. The ALCO generally meets on a weekly basis and reviews the Corporation’s current and forecasted asset and liability levels as well as desired pricing strategies and other relevant financial management and interest rate and risk topics. Also, on a monthly basis the ALCO reviews various interest rate risk sensitivity metrics, ratios and portfolio information, including but not limited to, the Corporation’s liquidity positions, projected sources and uses of funds, interest rate risk positions and economic conditions.

Market risk refers to the risk of a reduction in the Corporation’s capital due to changes in the market valuation of its assets and/or liabilities.

Most of the assets subject to market valuation risk are securities in the investmentdebt securities portfolio classified asavailable-for-sale. Refer to Notes 6 and 7 for further information on the investment portfolio. Investmentdebt securitiesavailable-for-sale andheld-to-maturity portfolios. Debt securities classified asavailable-for-sale amounted to $9.1$13.5 billion as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. Other assets subject to market risk include loansheld-for-sale, which amounted to $69$44 million, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) which amounted to $180$168 million and securities classified as “trading”, which amounted to $46$39 million, as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019.

Liabilities subject to market risk include the FDIC clawback obligation, which amounted to $ 167 million at September 30, 2017.

Management believes that market risk is currently not a material source of risk at the Corporation. A significant portion of the Corporation’s financial activities is concentrated in Puerto Rico, which has been going through a fiscal and economic crisis and was recently impacted by two major hurricanes. Refer to the Geographic and Government Risk section of this MD&A for highlights on the current status of Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic condition.

Interest Rate Risk (“IRR’IRR”)

The Corporation’s net interest income is subject to various categories of interest rate risk, including repricing, basis, yield curve and option risks. In managing interest rate risk, management may alter the mix of floating and fixed rate assets and liabilities, change pricing schedules, adjust maturities through sales and purchases of investment securities, and enter into derivative contracts, among other alternatives.

Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate rate risk position given line of business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations and policy constraints.

Management utilizes various tools to assess IRR, including Net Interest Income (“NII”) simulation modeling, static gap analysis, and Economic Value of Equity (EVE)(“EVE”). The three methodologies complement each other and are used jointly in the evaluation of the Corporation’s IRR. SimulationNII simulation modeling is prepared for a five-year period, which in conjunction with the EVE analysis, provides Managementmanagement a better view of long termlong-term IRR.

Net interest income simulation analysis performed by legal entity and on a consolidated basis is a tool used by the Corporation in estimating the potential change in net interest income resulting from hypothetical changes in interest rates. Sensitivity analysis is calculated using a simulation model which incorporates actual balance sheet figures detailed by maturity and interest yields or costs.

Management assesses interest rate risk by comparing various net interest incomeNII simulations under different interest rate scenarios that differ in direction of interest rate changes, the degree of change over time, the speed of change and the projected shape of the yield curve. For example, the types of rate scenarios processed during the year included economic most likely scenarios,quarter include flat rates, yield curve twists,implied forwards, parallel and parallelnon-parallel rate shocks. Management also performs analyses to isolate and measure basis and prepayment risk exposures.

The asset and liability management group performs validation procedures on various assumptions used as part of the sensitivity analysissimulation analyses as well as validations of results on a monthly basis. In addition, the model and processes used to assess IRR are subject to independent validations according to the guidelines established in the Model Governance and Validation policy. Due to the importance of critical assumptions in measuring market risk, the risk models incorporate third-party developed data for critical assumptions such as prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities.

The Corporation processes net interest incomeNII simulations under interest rate scenarios in which the yield curve is assumed to rise and decline by the same amount.amount (parallel shifts). The rate scenarios considered in these market risk simulations reflect parallel changes of-200, +200 and +400 basis points during the succeeding twelve-month period. Simulation analyses are based on many assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates across all yield curve points and indexes, interest rate spreads, loan prepayments and deposit elasticity. Thus, they should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the estimates do not contemplate actions that management could take to respond to changes in interest rates. By their nature, these forward-looking computations are only estimates and may be different from what may actually occur in the future. The following table presents the results of the simulations at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, assuming a static balance sheet and parallel changes over flat spot rates over aone-year time horizon:

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the simulations showed that the Corporation maintains an asset-sensitive position. This is primarily due to (i) a high level of money market investments that are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates, (ii) approximately 31%29% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio beingwas comprised of Prime and Libor-basedvariable loans, and (iii) low elasticity of the Corporation’s core deposit base. The increase in sensitivity from December 31, 2016 in the +200 and +400 scenarios is mainly driven by an increase in money market investments of $2.6 billion, from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2016 to $5.5 billion at September 30, 2017, that was due to growth in public fund deposits that have low sensitivity to changes in rates. The increase in sensitivity in the-200 scenario is also driven by the increase in money market investments that reflect full changes in rates across all scenarios, combined with the increases in the Federal Funds Target Rate in March and June of 2017 by the Federal Reserve, which led to an increase in the magnitude of the-200 basis points scenario.

The Corporation maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in net interest income or market value that are caused by interest rate volatility. The market value of these derivatives is subject to interest rate fluctuations and counterparty credit risk adjustments which could have a positive or negative effect in the Corporation’s earnings.

The Corporation’s loan and investment portfolios are subject to prepayment risk, which results from the ability of a third-party to repay debt obligations prior to maturity. Prepayment risk also could have a significant impact on the duration of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, since prepayments could shorten (or lower prepayments could extend) the weighted average life of these portfolios.

Trading

The Corporation engages in trading activities in the ordinary course of business at its subsidiaries, Banco Popular de Puerto RicoBPPR and Popular Securities. Popular Securities’ trading activities consist primarily of market-making activities to meet expected customers’ needs related to its retail brokerage business, and purchases and sales of U.S. Government and government sponsored securities with the objective of realizing gains from expected short-term price movements. BPPR’s trading activities consist primarily of holding U.S. Government sponsored mortgage-backed securities classified as “trading” and hedging the related market risk with “TBA”(to-be-announced) market transactions. The objective is to derive spread income from the portfolio and not to benefit from short-term market movements. In addition, BPPR uses forward contracts or TBAs to hedge its securitization pipeline. Risks related to variations in interest rates and market volatility are hedged with TBAs that have characteristics similar to that of the forecasted security and its conversion timeline.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation held trading securities with a fair value of $46$39 million, representing approximately 0.1% of the Corporation’s total assets, compared with $60$38 million and 0.2%0.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2016.2018. As shown in Table 18,11, the trading portfolio consists principally of mortgage-backed securities relating to BPPR’s mortgage activities described above, which at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 were investment grade securities. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the trading portfolio also included $1.3$7 million in U.S. Treasury securities and $0.1 million in Puerto Rico government obligations ($6 million and shares ofclosed-end funds that invest primarily in Puerto Rico government obligations ($2.6$0.1 million as of December 31, 2016)2018, respectively). Trading instruments are recognized at fair value, with changes resulting from fluctuations in market prices, interest rates or exchange rates reported in current period earnings. The Corporation recognized a net trading account gain of $0.3 million$260 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared toMarch 31, 2019 and a net trading account loss of $0.1 million$198 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Table 18 provides the composition of the trading portfolio at September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2018.

Not on a taxable equivalent basis.
[2]Includes trading derivatives for the period ended December 31, 2016.

The Corporation’s trading activities are limited by internal policies. For each of the two subsidiaries, the market risk assumed under trading activities is measured by the5-day netvalue-at-risk (“VAR”), with a confidence level of 99%. The VAR measures the maximum estimated loss that may occur over a5-day holding period, given a 99% probability.

The Corporation’s trading portfolio had a5-day VAR of approximately $0.3$0.2 million for the last week in September 2017.March 2019. There are numerous assumptions and estimates associated with VAR modeling, and actual results could differ from these assumptions and estimates. Backtesting is performed to compare actual results against maximum estimated losses, in order to evaluate model and assumptions accuracy.

In the opinion of management, the size and composition of the trading portfolio does not represent a significant source of market risk for the Corporation.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation currently measures at fair value on a recurring basis its trading assets,debt securities, debt securitiesavailable-for-sale, certain equity securities, derivatives, mortgage servicing rights and contingent consideration. Occasionally, the Corporation may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loansheld-for-sale, impaired loansheld-in-portfolio that are collateral dependent and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The fair value of assets and liabilities may include market or credit related adjustments, where appropriate. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, inclusion of credit risk in the fair value of the derivatives resulted in a net loss of $38 thousand recorded in the other operating income and interest expense captions of the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which consisted of a loss of $54 thousand resulting from the Corporation’s own credit risk standing adjustment and a gain of $16 thousand from the assessment of the counterparties’ credit risk. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, inclusion of credit risk in the fair value of the derivatives resulted in a net loss of $140 thousand recorded in the other operating income and interest expense captions of the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which consisted of a loss of $68 thousand resulting from the Corporation’s own credit standing adjustment and a loss of $72 thousand from the assessment of the counterparties’ credit risk.

The Corporation categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value under the three-level hierarchy. The level within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for fair value measurement are observable.

Refer to Note 2524 to the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements for information on the Corporation’s fair value measurement disclosures required by the applicable accounting standard. At September 30, 2017, approximately $ 9.1 billion, or 98%, of the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis used market-based or market-derived valuation inputs in their valuation methodology and, therefore, were classified as Level 1 or Level 2. The majority of instruments measured at fair value were classified as Level 2, including U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions, most mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), and derivative instruments.

Broker quotes used for fair value measurements inherently reflect any lack of liquidity in the market since they represent an exit price from the perspective of the market participants. Financial assets that were fair valued using broker quotes amounted to $ 7 million at September 30, 2017, of which $ 1 million were Level 3 assets and $ 6 million were Level 2 assets. Level 3 assets consisted principally oftax-exempt GNMA mortgage-backed securities. Fair value for these securities was based on an internally-prepared matrix derived from local broker quotes. The main input used in the matrix pricing wasnon-binding local broker quotes obtained from limited trade activity. Therefore, these securities were classified as Level 3.

Refer to Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2016 Form10-K for aA description of the Corporation’s valuation methodologies used for the assets and liabilities measured at fair value.value is included in Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form10-K. Also, referRefer to the Critical Accounting Policies / Estimates in the 20162018 Form10-K for additional information on the accounting guidance and the Corporation’s policies or procedures related to fair value measurements.

Inputs are evaluated to ascertain that they consider current market conditions, including the relative liquidity of the market. When a market quote for a specific security is not available, the pricing service provider generally uses observable data to derive an exit price for the instrument, such as benchmark yield curves and trade data for similar products. To the extent trading data is not available, the pricing service provider relies on specific information including dialogue with brokers, buy side clients, credit ratings, spreads to established benchmarks and transactions on similar securities to draw correlations based on the characteristics of the evaluated instrument. If for any reason the pricing service provider cannot observe data required to feed its model, it discontinues pricing the instrument. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, none of the Corporation’s investment securities were subject to pricing discontinuance by the pricing service providers. The pricing methodology and approach of our primary pricing service providers is concluded to be consistent with the fair value measurement guidance. In addition, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation did not adjust any prices obtained from pricing service providers or broker dealers for its trading account securities and investment securitiesavailable-for-sale.

Furthermore, management assesses the fair value of its portfolio of investment securities at least on a quarterly basis, which includes analyzing changes in fair value that have resulted in losses that may be considered other-than-temporary. Factors considered include, for example, the nature of the investment, severity and duration of possible impairments, industry reports, sector credit ratings, economic environment, creditworthiness of the issuers and any guarantees.

Securities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to product type, characteristics and market liquidity. At the end of each period, management assesses the fair value hierarchy for each asset or liability measured. The fair value measurement analysis performed by the Corporation includes validation procedures with alternate pricing sources when available and review of market changes, pricing methodology, assumption and level hierarchy changes, and evaluation of distressed transactions. Management has established materiality thresholds according to the investment class to monitor and investigate material deviations in prices obtained from the primary pricing service provider and the secondary pricing source used as support for the valuation results.

Liquidity

The objective of effective liquidity management is to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient liquidity to meet all of its financial obligations, finance expected future growth and maintain a reasonable safety margin for cash commitments under both normal and stressed market conditions. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the Corporation’s tolerance for liquidity risk, including approving relevant risk limits and policies. The Board of Directors has delegated the monitoring of these risks to the RMCRisk Management Committee and the ALCO.Asset/Liability Management Committee. The management of liquidity risk, on a long-term andday-to-day basis, is the responsibility of the Corporate Treasury Division. The Corporation’s Corporate Treasurer is responsible for implementing the policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors and for monitoring the Corporation’s liquidity position on an ongoing basis. Also, the Corporate Treasury Division coordinates corporate wide liquidity management strategies and activities with the reportable segments, oversees policy breaches and manages the escalation process. The Financial and Operational Risk Management Division is responsible for the independent monitoring and reporting of adherence with established policies.

An institution’s liquidity may be pressured if, for example, its credit rating is downgraded, it experiences a sudden and unexpected substantial cash outflow, or some other event causes counterparties to avoid exposure to the institution. Factors that the Corporation does not control, such as the economic outlook, adverse ratings of its principal markets and regulatory changes, could also affect its ability to obtain funding.

Liquidity is managed by the Corporation at the level of the holding companies that own the banking andnon-banking subsidiaries. It is also managed at the level of the banking andnon-banking subsidiaries. The Corporation has adopted policies and limits to monitor more effectively the Corporation’s liquidity position and that of the banking subsidiaries. Additionally, contingency funding plans are used to model various stress events of different magnitudes and affecting different time horizons that assist management in evaluating the size of the liquidity buffers needed if those stress events occur. However, such models may not predict accurately how the market and customers might react to every event, and are dependent on many assumptions.

On January 23, 2017, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s quarterly common stock dividend from $0.15 per share to $0.25 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation declared dividends on its common stock of $ 76.6 million and completed a $75 million privately negotiated accelerated share repurchase transaction. Refer to additional information on Note 19 – Stockholder’s equity.

Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered deposits and public funds deposits, continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Corporation, funding 80%84% of the Corporation’s total assets at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 79%83% at December 31, 2016.2018. The ratio of total ending loans to deposits was 69%65% at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared to 77%67% at December 31, 2016.2018. In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains borrowing arrangements. At September 30, 2017, these borrowings consisted primarily of $ 374 million in assets sold under agreementarrangements, which amounted to repurchase, $868 million in advances with the FHLB, $439 million in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (net of debt issuance cost) related to trust preferred securities and $446 million in term notes (net of debt issuance cost) issued to partially fund the repayment of TARP funds.approximately $1.4 billion at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $1.5 billion). A detailed description of the Corporation’s borrowings, including their terms, is included in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements provide information on the Corporation’s cash inflows and outflows.

Given the widespread level of disruption to basic infrastructure and commercial activity in the regions impacted by the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria, BPPR decided to adopt certain measures to assist its customers in affected areas. These measures include the waiver of certain fees and charges, such as late payment charges and ATM transaction fees, and a temporary payment moratorium of three months to eligible borrowers across most loan portfolios during which BPPR will continue to accrue interest on the loans.

These measures, while important to assist in the recovery of our customers post-hurricane, will negatively impact our results of operations and liquidity. For example, the waiver of fees and other charges impacted the Corporation’s revenues for the third quarter and revenues in the fourth quarter will also be negatively impacted by such waivers. The moratorium measures, whose ultimate effect will depend in part on the number of customers who take advantage of such plans, will also impact our liquidity not only due to principal and interest payments that BPPR will not receive during the period, but also as a result of loans serviced by the Corporation where we are required to advance to the owners the payment of principal and interest on a scheduled basis even when such payment is not collected from the borrower.

Management believes that the liquidity impact of these measures will not be significant in light of BPPR’s existing liquidity resources and that BPPR has sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow obligations. Deposits at BPPR as of September 30, 2017 were higher by approximately $1.0 billion than as of the end of the second quarter.

The following sections provide further information on the Corporation’s major funding activities and needs, as well as the risks involved in these activities. A detailed description of the Corporation’s borrowings and available lines of credit, including its terms, is included in Note 1735 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, the Consolidated Statements provides consolidating statements of Cash Flows in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements provide information oncondition, of operations and of cash flows which separately presents the Corporation’s cash inflowsbank holding companies and outflows.its subsidiaries as part of the “All other subsidiaries and eliminations” column.

Banking Subsidiaries

Primary sources of funding for the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries (BPPR and BPNA),PB or “the banking subsidiaries,”subsidiaries”) include retail and commercial deposits, brokered deposits, unpledged investment securities, mortgage loan securitization, and, to a lesser extent, loan sales. In addition, the Corporation maintains borrowing facilities with the FHLB and at the discount window of the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”), and has a considerable amount of collateral pledged that can be used to quickly raise funds under these facilities.

Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information of the Corporation’s borrowing facilities available through its banking subsidiaries.

The principal uses of funds for the banking subsidiaries include loan originations, investment portfolio purchases, loan purchases and repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios, and operational expenses. Also, the banking subsidiaries assume liquidity risk related to collateral posting requirements for certain activities mainly in connection with contractual commitments, recourse provisions, servicing advances, derivatives, credit card licensing agreements and support to several mutual funds administered by BPPR.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, BPPR declared cash dividends of $169 million, a portion of which was used by Popular, Inc. for the payments of the cash dividends on its outstanding common stock and to complete the repurchase of $75 million in treasury stock as part of the privately negotiated accelerated share repurchase transaction completed during the first quarter of 2017, as mentioned above.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, BPNA declared a dividend of $10.4 million to Popular North America, its holding company, who in turn declared a $10.4 million dividend to Popular, Inc.

Note 35 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides a consolidating statement of cash flows which includes the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries as part of the “All other subsidiaries and eliminations” column.

The banking subsidiaries maintain sufficient funding capacity to address large increases in funding requirements such as deposit outflows. This capacity is comprised mainly of available liquidity derived from secured funding sources, as well ason-balance sheet liquidity in the form of cash balances maintained at the Fed and unused secured lines held at the FRB and FHLB, in addition to liquid unpledged securities. The Corporation has established liquidity guidelines that require the banking subsidiaries to have sufficient liquidity to cover all short-term borrowings and a portion of deposits.

The Corporation’s ability to compete successfully in the marketplace for deposits, excluding brokered deposits, depends on various factors, including pricing, service, convenience and financial stability as reflected by operating results, credit ratings (by nationally recognized credit rating agencies), and importantly, FDIC deposit insurance. Although a downgrade in the credit ratings of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries may impact their ability to raise retail and commercial deposits or the rate that it is required to pay on such deposits, management does not believe that the impact should be material. Deposits at all of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries are federally insured (subject to FDIC limits) and this is expected to mitigate the potential effect of a downgrade in the credit ratings.

Deposits are a key source of funding as they tend to be less volatile than institutional borrowings and their cost is less sensitive to changes in market rates. Refer to Table 136 for a breakdown of deposits by major types. Core deposits are generated from a large base of consumer, corporate and institutional customers. Core deposits include allnon-interest bearing deposits, savings deposits and certificates of deposit under $100,000, excluding brokered deposits with denominations under $100,000. Core deposits have historically provided the Corporation with a sizable source of relatively stable andlow-cost funds. Core deposits totaled $ 29.635.9 billion, or 86%88% of total deposits, at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared with $25.8$34.9 billion, or 84%88% of total deposits, at December 31, 2016.2018. Core deposits financed 77%79% of the Corporation’s earning assets at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared with 76%79% at December 31, 2016.2018.

CertificatesThe distribution by maturity of depositcertificates of deposits with denominations of $100,000 and over at September 30, 2017 totaled $ 4.1 billion, or 12% of total deposits (DecemberMarch 31, 2016—$4.1 billion, or 14% of total deposits). Their distribution by maturity at September 30, 20172019 is presented in the table that follows:

At September 30, 2017 approximately 1% of the Corporation’s assets were financed by brokered deposits (December 31, 2016 – 2%). The Corporation had $ 0.60.5 billion in brokered deposits at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.2018, which financed approximately 1%, of its total assets. In the event that any of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries’ regulatory capital ratios fall below those required by a well-capitalized institution or are subject to capital restrictions by the regulators, that banking subsidiary faces the risk of not being able to raise or maintain brokered deposits and faces limitations on the rate paid on deposits, which may hinder the Corporation’s ability to effectively compete in its retail markets and could affect its deposit raising efforts.

To the extent that the banking subsidiaries are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, the Corporation may meet its liquidity needs through short-term borrowings by pledging securities for borrowings under repurchase agreements, by pledging additional loans and securities through the available secured lending facilities, or by selling liquid assets. These measures are subject to availability of collateral.

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries have the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the banking subsidiaries had credit facilities authorized with the FHLB aggregating to $3.9 billion, based on assets pledged with the FHLB at those dates. Outstanding borrowings under these credit facilities totaled $868 million at September 30, 2017 and $673 million at December 31, 2016. Such advances are collateralized by loansheld-in-portfolio, do not have restrictive covenants and do not have any callable features. At September 30, 2017 the credit facilities authorized with the FHLB were collateralized by $5.0 billion in loansheld-in-portfolio (December 31, 2016—$4.9 billion). Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the terms of FHLB advances outstanding.

At September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016, the Corporation’s borrowing capacity at the Fed’s Discount Window amounted to approximately $1.2 billion, which remained unused as of both dates. The amount available under this borrowing facility is dependent upon the balance of performing loans, securities pledged as collateral and the haircuts assigned to such collateral. At September 30, 2017, this credit facility with the Fed was collateralized by $2.2 billion of loansheld-in-portfolio (December 31, 2016—$2.3 billion).

At September 30, 2017,2019, management believes that the banking subsidiaries had sufficient current and projected liquidity sources to meet their anticipated cash flow obligations, as well as special needs andoff-balance sheet commitments, in the ordinary course of business and have sufficient liquidity resources to address a stress event. Although the banking subsidiaries have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and advances, no assurance can be given that they would be able to replace those funds in the future if the Corporation’s financial condition or general market conditions were to deteriorate. The Corporation’s financial flexibility will be severely constrained if its banking subsidiaries are unable to maintain access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to accommodate future financing needs at acceptable interest rates. The banking subsidiaries also are required to deposit cash or qualifying securities to meet margin requirements. To the extent that the value of securities previously pledged as collateral declines because of market changes, the Corporation will be required to deposit additional cash or securities to meet its margin requirements, thereby adversely affecting its liquidity. Finally, if management is required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources to meet its future growth, revenues may not increase proportionately to cover costs. In this case, profitability would be adversely affected.

Bank Holding Companies

The principal sources of funding for the bank holding companies (the “BHC’s”), which are Popular, Inc. (holding company only) (“PIHC”) and Popular North America, Inc. (“PNA”),PNA, include cash on hand, investment securities, dividends received from banking andnon-banking subsidiaries (subject to regulatory limits and authorizations) asset sales, credit facilities available from affiliate banking subsidiaries and proceeds from potential securities offerings.

The principal use of these funds includeincludes the repayment of debt, and interest payments to holders of senior debt and junior subordinated deferrable interest (related to trust preferred securities) and capitalizing its banking subsidiaries.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, PIHC received $169 million in dividends from BPPR, $12 million in dividends from PIBI, $10.4 million in dividends from PNA and $3.5 million in dividends from EVERTEC’s parent company. PIHC also received $0.5 million in distributions from its investment in PRB Investors LP, an equity method investment, and $10.5 million in dividends from itsnon-banking subsidiaries. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, anon-banking subsidiary declared a dividend of $4.5 million to PIHC. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 Popular International Bank received $11.8 million in dividends from its investment in BHD Leon. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, PNA received $10.4 million in dividends from BPNA.

Another use of liquidity at the parent holding company is the payment of dividends on its outstanding stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation declared quarterly dividends on its outstanding common stock of $0.25 per share, for a total of $ 76.6 million and completed a $75 million privately negotiated accelerated share repurchase transaction. Refer to additional information on Note 19 – Stockholder’s equity. The dividends for the Corporation’s Series A and Series B preferred stock amounted to $ 2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The BHC’s have in the past borrowed in the money markets and in the corporate debt market primarily to finance theirnon-banking subsidiaries, however, the cash needs of the Corporation’snon-banking subsidiaries other than to repay indebtedness and interest

are now minimal. These sources of funding have become more costly due to the reductions in the Corporation’s credit ratings. The Corporation’s principal credit ratings are below “investment grade”, which affects the Corporation’s ability to raise funds in the capital markets. The Corporation has an automatic shelf registration statement filed and effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits the Corporation to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity securities.

Note 35to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides a statement of condition, of operations and of cash flows for the two BHC’s. The loansheld-in-portfolio in such financial statements is principally associated with intercompany transactions.

The outstanding balance of notes payable at the BHC’s amounted to $886$679 million at September 30, 2017, compared with $884 million atMarch 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016. The repayment of the BHC’s obligations represents a potential cash need which is expected to be met with a combination of internal liquidity resources stemming mainly from future dividend receipts and new borrowings.2018.

The BHCs liquidity position continues to be adequate with sufficient cash on hand, investments and other sources of liquidity which are expected to be enough to meet all BHCs obligations during the foreseeable future.

Non-banking subsidiaries

The principal sources of funding for thenon-banking subsidiaries include internally generated cash flows from operations, loan sales, repurchase agreements, capital injection and borrowed funds from their direct parent companies or the holding companies. The principal uses of funds for thenon-banking subsidiaries include repayment of maturing debt, operational expenses and payment of dividends to the BHCs. The liquidity needs of thenon-banking subsidiaries are minimal since most of them are funded internally from operating cash flows or from intercompany borrowings from their holding companies, BPPR or BPNA.PB.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Corporation declared quarterly dividends on its outstanding common stock of $0.30 per share, for a total of $29.0 million paid on April 1, 2019. The dividends for the Corporation’s Series A and Series B preferred stock amounted to $0.9 million. The BHC’s received dividends amounting to $200 million from BPPR, $2 million in dividends from itsnon-banking subsidiaries and $0.6 million in dividends from EVERTEC’s parent company.

Other Funding Sources and Capital

The investmentdebt securities portfolio provides an additional source of liquidity, which may be realized through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. The Corporation’s investmentdebt securities portfolio consists primarily of liquid U.S. government investment securities, sponsored U.S. agency securities, government sponsored mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations that can be used to raise funds in the repo markets. The availability of the repurchase agreement would be subject to having sufficient unpledged collateral available at the time the transactions are to be consummated, in addition to overall liquidity and risk appetite of the various counterparties. The Corporation’s unpledged investment and trading securities, excluding other investmentdebt securities, amounted to $2.1$3.4 billion at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and $3.7$4.3 billion at December 31, 2016.2018. A substantial portion of these debt securities could be used to raise financing quickly in the U.S. money markets or from secured lending sources.

Additional liquidity may be provided through loan maturities, prepayments and sales. The loan portfolio can also be used to obtain funding in the capital markets. In particular, mortgage loans and some types of consumer loans, have secondary markets which the Corporation could use.

Risks to Liquidity

Total lines of credit outstanding are not necessarily a measure of the total credit available on a continuing basis. Some of these lines could be subject to collateral requirements, standards of creditworthiness, leverage ratios and other regulatory requirements, among other factors. Derivatives, such as those embedded in long-term repurchase transactions or interest rate swaps, andoff-balance sheet exposures, such as recourse, performance bonds or credit card arrangements, are subject to collateral requirements. As their fair value increases, the collateral requirements may increase, thereby reducing the balance of unpledged securities.

The importance of the Puerto Rico market for the Corporation is an additional risk factor that could affect its financing activities. In the case of a deterioration in economic and fiscal conditions in Puerto Rico, the credit quality of the Corporation could be affected and result in higher credit costs. The Puerto Rico economy continues to face various challenges, including significant pressures in some sectors of the residential real estate market and the recent impact of two major hurricanes.market. Refer to the Geographic and Government Risk section of this MD&A for some highlights on the current status of the Puerto Rico economy and the ongoing fiscal crisis.

Factors that the Corporation does not control, such as the economic outlook and credit ratings of its principal markets and regulatory changes, could also affect its ability to obtain funding. In order to prepare for the possibility of such scenario, management has adopted contingency plans for raising financing under stress scenarios when important sources of funds that are usually fully available are temporarily unavailable. These plans call for using alternate funding mechanisms, such as the pledging of certain asset classes and accessing secured credit lines and loan facilities put in place with the FHLB and the FRB.

The credit ratings of Popular’s debt obligations are a relevant factor for liquidity because they impact the Corporation’s ability to borrow in the capital markets, its cost and access to funding sources. Credit ratings are based on the financial strength, credit quality and concentrations in the loan portfolio, the level and volatility of earnings, capital adequacy, the quality of management, geographic concentration in Puerto Rico, the liquidity of the balance sheet, the availability of a significant base of core retail and commercial deposits, and the Corporation’s ability to access a broad array of wholesale funding sources, among other factors.

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries have historically not used unsecured capital market borrowings to finance its operations, and therefore are less sensitive to the level and changes in the Corporation’s overall credit ratings. At the BHCs, the volume of capital market borrowings has declined substantially, as thenon-banking lending businesses that it had historically funded have been shut down and the need to raise unsecured senior debt has been substantially reduced.

Obligations Subject to Rating Triggers or Collateral Requirements

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries currently do not use borrowings that are rated by the major rating agencies, as these banking subsidiaries are funded primarily with deposits and secured borrowings. The banking subsidiaries had $12$10 million in deposits at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that are subject to rating triggers.

Some of the Corporation’s derivative instruments include financial covenants tied to the bank’s well-capitalized status and certain formal regulatory actions. These agreements could require exposure collateralization, early termination or both. The fair value of derivative instruments in a liability position subject to financial covenants approximated $19 thousand at September 30, 2017, with the Corporation providing collateral totaling $95 thousand to cover the net liability position with counterparties on these derivative instruments.

In addition, certain mortgage servicing and custodial agreements that BPPR has with third parties include rating covenants. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, the third parties have the right to require the institution to engage a substitute cash custodian for escrow deposits and/or increase collateral levels securing the recourse obligations. Also, as discussed in Note 2120 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation services residential mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions. Certain contractual agreements require the Corporation to post collateral to secure such recourse obligations if the institution’s required credit ratings are not maintained. Collateral pledged by the Corporation to secure recourse obligations amounted to approximately $51$60 million at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. The Corporation could be required to post additional collateral under the agreements. Management expects that it would be able to meet additional collateral requirements if and when needed. The requirements to post collateral under certain agreements or the loss of escrow deposits could reduce the Corporation’s liquidity resources and impact its operating results.

Credit Risk

Geographic and Government Risk

The Corporation is exposed to geographic and government risk. The Corporation’s assets and revenue composition by geographical area and by business segment reporting are presented in Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

A significant portion of our financial activities and credit exposure is concentrated in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth” or “Puerto Rico”), which has endured a decade-long recession and continues to be in aface severe economic and fiscal crisischallenges.

Economic Performance

The Commonwealth’s economy entered a recession in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, and was recently significantly impactedthe Commonwealth’s gross national product (“GNP”) has contracted (in real terms) every fiscal year between 2007 and 2018, with the exception of fiscal year 2012. Pursuant to the latest Puerto Rico Planning Board (the “Planning Board”) estimates, published on May 3, 2019, the Commonwealth’s real GNP for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 decreased by two major hurricanes.

Hurricanes Impact

During3% and 4.7%, respectively. The Planning Board projects that real GNP will increase approximately 2% and 3.6% in fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively, in part due to the monthinflux of September 2017,federal funds and private insurance payments to repair damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, two major hurricanes, caused extensive destruction in Puerto Rico, disruptingMaría. For information regarding the primary market in which BPPR does business. Most relevant, Hurricane Maria made landfall on September 20, 2017, causing severe wind and flood damage to infrastructure, homes and businesses throughout Puerto Rico. Following the passage of Hurricane Maria, all Puerto Rico was left without electrical power, other basic utility and infrastructure services (such as water, communications, ports and other transportation networks) were severely curtailed and the government imposed a mandatory curfew. The hurricanes caused a significant disruption to the island’s economic activity. Most business establishments, including retailers and wholesalers, financial institutions, manufacturing facilities and hotels, were closed for several days.

Puerto Rico was declared a disaster zone by President Trump due to the impactprojections of the hurricanes, thus making it eligible for Federal assistance. Notwithstanding2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan, see Fiscal Plans,Commonwealth Fiscal Plan, below.

Fiscal Crisis

The Commonwealth remains in the significant recovery operation that is underway bymidst of a profound fiscal crisis affecting the Federal, state and local governments, as of the date of this report, most businesses and homes in Puerto Rico remain without power, other basic utility and infrastructure remains significantly impacted,central government and many businesses are operating partially or remain closed. Electronic transactions, a significant source of revenue for BPPR, have also declined significantly as aits instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities. This fiscal crisis has been primarily the result of the lack of power and telecommunication services. Several reports indicate that the hurricanes have also accelerated the outmigration trends that Puerto Rico was experiencing, with many residents moving to the mainland United States, either on a temporary or permanent basis.

While it is too early to assess and quantify the full extent of the damage caused by the hurricanes, as well as their long-term impact on economic activity, the damages are substantial and have, at least in the short-term, had a material adverse impact on economic activity, as reflected by, among other things, the slowdown in production activity and reduction in the government’s tax revenues.

For a discussion of the impact of the hurricanes on the Corporation’s operations and financial results during the third quarter of 2017, refer to Note 2—Hurricanes impact, on the accompanying financial statements. For additional discussion of risk factors related to the impact of the hurricanes, see Item 1A of this report.

Fiscal and Economic Crisis

Even before the hurricanes, the Commonwealth was experiencing a severe economic and fiscal crisis resulting from continuing economic contraction, persistent and significant budget deficits, a high debt burden, unfunded legacy obligations, and lack of access to the capital markets, among other factors. Further,As a result of the crisis, the Commonwealth and severalcertain of its public instrumentalities are currently in the process of restructuringhave been unable to make debt service payments on their outstanding obligations in proceedings under Titles IIIbonds and VI ofnotes since 2016. The escalating fiscal and economic crisis and the imminent widespread defaults prompted the U.S. Congress to enact the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) enacted in June 2016, bywhich, as further discussed below, established two mechanisms for the U.S. Federal Government.

The Commonwealth’s deficits were historically covered with bond financings, loans from the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (“GDB”) and other extraordinaryone-time revenue measures, as well through the defermentrestructuring of the cost of certain legacy obligations such as pensions. The Commonwealth’s structural imbalance between revenue and expenditure and unfunded legacy obligations, coupled with the deterioration of GDB’s liquidity situation and the Commonwealth’s recent inability to access the capital markets, resulted in the government becoming unable to pay scheduled debt payments while continuing to provide government services.

Recent Economic Performance

Puerto Rico entered into recession in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Puerto Rico’s gross national product (GNP) has thereafter contracted in real terms every year between fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2016 (inclusive), with the exception of growth of 0.5% in fiscal year 2012 (likely as a result of the large amount of governmental stimulus and deficit spending in that fiscal year). According to Puerto Rico Planning Board estimates released in March 2017 (before the impact of the hurricanes), gross national

product is projected to further contract by 1.7% and 1.5% during fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. The latest Economic Activity Index issued by GDB, which is an indicator of general economic activity and not a direct measurement of GNP, reflected a 1.49% reduction in the average for fiscal year 2017, compared to the prior fiscal year. During the first month of fiscal year 2018 (July 2017), the Economic Activity Index reflected a 2.1% average reduction compared to the corresponding figure for fiscal year 2017. As discussed above, Hurricanes Irma and Maria have had, at least in the short-term, a material adverse impact on economic activity, that is likely to be reflected in GNP estimates and the Economic Activity Index during fiscal year 2018.

Fiscal and Liquidity Measures

The Commonwealth’s challenges have resulted in a severe fiscal and liquidity crisis, which has forced the government to implement extraordinary measures in order to continue to fundCommonwealth, its operational expenses and provide essential services to its residents. Measures taken by the previous administration to tackle the government’s structural budgetary imbalance included (a) reforming the Commonwealth’s retirement systems, (b) enacting ActNo. 66-2014, as amended (“Act 66”), a fiscal emergency law that, among other things, froze formula appropriations, salaries and benefits under collective bargaining agreements, (c) implementing certain extraordinary revenue raising measures, including an increase in the sales and use tax (“SUT”) rate from 7% to 11.5% and the implementation of a Commonwealth SUT of 4% with respect to certainbusiness-to-business services, (d) requiring the two largest government retirement systems topre-fund the payment of retirement benefits to participants, (e) delaying the payment of third-party payables, income tax refunds and amounts due to public corporations, instrumentalities and (f) enacting Puerto Rico Emergency Moratorium and Rehabilitation Act (the “Moratorium Act”), pursuant to which themunicipalities. The Commonwealth and certainseveral of its instrumentalities suspended the payment of debt service on their respective debts and retained certain revenues assigned to particular public corporations, redirecting the same for the funding of operational expenses. The Moratorium Act also imposed significant constraints on the operations of GDB, including stringent restrictions on the withdrawal of deposits from GDB (including deposits of the Commonwealth’s municipalities).

The Administration of Governor Ricardo Rosselló Nevares, sworn in January 2017, has also implemented various measures to address the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis and liquidity problems, including enacting legislation to (a) extend until fiscal year 2021 certain of the provisions of Act 66, (b) extend for 10 years the temporary excise tax imposed by ActNo. 154-2010, (c) reduce government expenses (including by reducing payroll related-expenses, such as those related to temporary workers and certain employee benefits), (d) increase government revenues (including by increasing fines and cigarette excise taxes), and (e) authorize the Commonwealth’s central government to use funds from public corporations to cover its liquidity and budgetary needs (including, under certain circumstances, thesales-and-use tax revenue securitized through the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”)).

On January 29, 2017, the Rosselló Administration enacted ActNo. 5-2017 (“Act 5”), also known as the “Financial Emergency and Fiscal Responsibility Act,” to replace certain provisions of the Moratorium Act. Among other things, Act 5, as amended, extended the Governor’s power to suspend debt service obligations until December 31, 2017 (subject to further extensions through executive orders), by prioritizing the payment of essential services over debt service. Act 5 grandfathers executive orders issued pursuant to the Moratorium Act and stipulates that the same shall continue in full force and effect until amended, rescinded or superseded.

The Government has stated that certain of these emergency liquidity measures are unsustainable and have significant negative economic effects. Also, the Commonwealth and the Oversight Board (defined below) have indicated that they expect that these measures will not be sufficient to address the Commonwealth’s fiscal and liquidity needs and that additional extraordinary fiscal and liquidity measures will need to be implemented, including those outlinedcurrently in the Commonwealth’s fiscal plan (discussed below), to allow the Commonwealth to continue providing essential government services. The Commonwealth and the Oversight Board have indicated that, absentprocess of restructuring their debts through such additional measures, the Commonwealth may experience significant cash shortfalls during fiscal year 2018.

mechanisms.

Recent Defaults

The following entities have not made payments of principal and/or interest in full on certain of their respective bonds and notes as of the date of this report: the Commonwealth, GDB, the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority, the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (“HTA”), the Puerto Rico Public Finance Corporation, the Convention Center District Authority, the Employees Retirement System (“ERS”), the University of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”). Further, pursuant to a court order issued in COFINA’s Title III proceeding (discussed below) on May 30, 2017, funds held by the trustee of the COFINA bonds have not been applied for the payment of such bonds pending the resolution of various disputes in respect of such funds.

Enactment of PROMESA

In general terms, PROMESA seeks to provide the Commonwealth with (i) fiscal and economic discipline through the creation ofcreated a seven-member federally-appointed oversight board (the “Oversight Board), (ii) relief from creditor lawsuits throughBoard”) with ample powers over the enactment of a temporary stay on litigation to enforce rights or remedies related to outstanding liabilitiesfiscal and economic affairs of the Commonwealth, and its public corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities (which expired on May 1, 2017) and (iii) two separate processes for the restructuring of the debt obligations of such entities. PROMESA also includes other miscellaneous provisions, including relief from certain wage and hour laws and regulations and provisions for identification and expedited permitting of critical infrastructure projects.

On August 31, 2016, President Obama appointed the seven voting members of the Oversight Board.municipalities. Pursuant to PROMESA, the Oversight Board shallwill remain in place until market access is restored and balanced budgets, in accordance with modified accrual accounting, are produced for at least four consecutive years.

In August 2016, President Obama appointed the seven voting members of the Oversight Board through the process established in PROMESA, which authorized the President to select the members from several lists required to be submitted by congressional leaders. On February 15, 2019, however, the First Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals (the “First Circuit”) declared such appointments unconstitutional on the grounds that they did not comply with the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which requires that principal federal officers be appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. The Oversight Board hasis seeking review of the First Circuit’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The First Circuit’s decision provided that its mandate would not issue for 90 days so as to allow the President and the U.S. Senate to validate the defective appointments or reconstitute the Oversight Board in accordance with the Appointments Clause. The First Circuit extended such period for an additional 60 days, until July 15, 2019. On April 29, 2019, President Donald Trump announced that he intends to nominate the current Oversight Board members to serve their terms through the end of August. Such appointments require confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

In October 2016, the Oversight Board designated a number of entities as covered entities under PROMESA, including the Commonwealth and all of its public corporations and retirement systems, and all affiliates and subsidiaries ofinstrumentalities as “covered entities” under PROMESA. The only Commonwealth government entities that were not subject to such initial designation were the foregoing. WhileCommonwealth’s municipalities. On May 9, 2019, however, the Oversight Board has the power to designate anydesignated all of the Commonwealth’s municipalities as covered entities. It also announced that it will launch a pilot initiative requiring the development of fiscal plans and budgets for ten municipalities. Further, it requested the development of a fiscal plan for the Municipal Revenue Collection Center, the entity primarily responsible for the collection of property taxes on behalf of municipalities.

At the Oversight Board’s request, covered entities under PROMESA, it has not done so as of the date hereof. The designation of an entity as a covered entity has various implications under PROMESA. First, it means that the Governor will haveare required to submit such entity’sfiscal plans and annual budgets and, if the Oversight Board so requests, its fiscal plans, to the Oversight Board for its review and approval. Second, covered territorial instrumentalities may notThey are also required to seek Oversight Board approval to issue, debtguarantee or guarantee, exchange, modify repurchase, redeem, ortheir debts and to enter into similar transactionscontracts with respect to their debts without the prior approvalan aggregate value of the Oversight Board.$10 million or more. Finally, covered entities could alsoare potentially be eligible to useavail themselves of the restructuring proceduresprocesses provided by PROMESA. The first,One of such restructuring processes, Title VI, is a largelyout-of-court process through which a government entity and its financial creditors can agree on terms to restructure such entity’s debt. If a supermajority of creditors of a certain category agrees, that agreement can bind all other creditors in such category. The second,other one, Title III, draws on the federal bankruptcy code and provides a court-supervised process for a comprehensive restructuring led by the Oversight Board. Access to either of these procedures is dependent on compliance with certain requirements established in PROMESA, including the approval of the Oversight Board.

The initial stay of litigation imposed by PROMESA expired on May 1, 2017. The automatic stay imposed by PROMESA applied to covered actions against all government instrumentalities in Puerto Rico, even those that may not be immediately within the jurisdiction and purview of the Oversight Board, such as municipalities. An automatic stay is currently in effect, however, with respect to such entities that are subject to ongoing debt restructuring proceedings under Title III of PROMESA.

Fiscal Plans

PROMESA requiresCommonwealth Fiscal Plan. The Oversight Board has certified several versions of fiscal plans for the Commonwealth to submit asince 2017. The most recent fiscal plan tofor the Commonwealth certified by the Oversight Board is dated as of May 9, 2019 (the “2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan”).

The 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan estimates a 4.7% contraction in real GNP in fiscal year 2018, after accounting for the impact of disaster relief funding and the measures and structural reforms contemplated by the plan. It also projects that among other things, (i) providesdisaster relief spending will have a short-term stimulative effect on the economy, which, combined with the estimated effects of the proposed fiscal measures and structural reforms, will result in real GNP growth of approximately 4% and 1.5% in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.The Commonwealth’s population is estimated to steadily decline at rates of approximately 1% to 2% annually through fiscal year 2024.

Before accounting for the impact of the measures and structural reforms contemplated therein, the 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan projects a pre-contractual debt service surplus in fiscal years 2018 through 2020. This surplus is not projected to continue after fiscal year 2020, as federal disaster relief funding slows down. The 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan projects that, without major Government action, the Commonwealth would suffer an annual primary deficit starting in fiscal year 2021. The Oversight Board estimates of revenues and expenditures in conformance with agreed accounting standards, (ii) ensures the funding of essential services, (iii) eliminates structural deficits, (iv) provides adequate funding for public pension systems and (v) provides for a debt burden that is sustainable. Furthermore, the fiscal plan must respectmeasures contemplated by the relative lawful priorities or lawful liens under local law.

On February 28, 2017,2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan will drive approximately $13.6 billion in savings and extra revenue through fiscal year 2024. However, even after accounting for the Rosselló administration submitted its draftimpact of the fiscal planmeasures and structural reforms and before contractual debt service, the projections reflect an annual deficit starting in fiscal year 2038. After contractual debt service, the surplus projected in fiscal years 2019 to the Oversight Board. A revised version of such2024 drops significantly and annual deficits begin in fiscal plan was submitted to the Oversight Board on March 13, 2017, which the Oversight Board certifiedyear 2027. Based on such date, after introducing certain amendments. The Commonwealth’s fiscal plan covers, in addition tolong-term projections, the 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan concludes that the Commonwealth itself, various public instrumentalitiescannot afford to meet all of its contractual debt obligations, even with outstanding debts payable from taxes, fees or other government revenues (including COFINA).

The Commonwealth’s fiscal plan, as certified in March 2017, estimates that, absent the revenue enhancing and expense reduction measures set forth therein and assuming the payment of debt service as contracted, the Commonwealth’s10-year budget gap would reach approximately $66.9 billion. Further, the fiscal plan projects that, assuming the successfulaggressive implementation of allthe structural reforms and measures set forth therein, the Commonwealth and the entities coveredcontemplated by the Commonwealth’s fiscal plan will only have $7.8 billion available for the payment of debt service during said10-year period (compared to $35 billion of contractual debt service) and thus recognizes the need for debt restructuring by the Commonwealth and the instrumentalities covered by said fiscal plan (including COFINA).plan.

The Commonwealth’s fiscal plan2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan does not contemplate a restructuring of the debt of Puerto Rico’sthe Commonwealth’s municipalities. The Commonwealth’s fiscal plan contemplates,It does, however, as part of its expensecontemplate the gradual reduction measures,and the gradualultimate elimination of budgetary subsidies provided by the Commonwealth to municipalities. Those subsidiesmunicipalities, which constitute a material portion of the operating revenues of certain municipalities. Commonwealth appropriations to municipalities were reduced by $150 million in fiscal year 2018 and by an additional $45 million in 2019 (from approximately $370 million in fiscal year 2017 to approximately $220 million in fiscal year 2018 (exclusive of one-time hurricane related appropriations) and approximately $175 in fiscal year 2019). The Commonwealth’s2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan provides for additional reductions in such appropriations every fiscal plan is publicly availableyear, holding appropriations constant at approximately 45-50% of current levels starting in the Oversight Board’s website.fiscal year 2022, before ultimately phasing out all subsidies in fiscal year 2024.

Other Fiscal Plans.Pursuant to PROMESA, the Oversight Board has also requested and approvedcertified fiscal plans for (i) GDB, (ii) HTA, (iii) PREPA, (iv)several public corporations and instrumentalities. Such plans conclude that such entities cannot afford to meet all of their contractual obligations as currently scheduled.

The certified fiscal plan for the Puerto Rico AqueductElectric Power Authority (“PREPA”), Puerto Rico’s electric power utility, contemplates the transformation of Puerto Rico’s electric system through, among other things, the establishment of a public-private partnership with respect to PREPA’s transmission and Sewer Authoritydistribution system, and (v) the Public Corporationcalls for the Supervision and Insurance of Cooperatives. All such fiscal plans reflect that the applicable government entity is unable to pay its financial obligations in full, thus recognizing the need for debt relief.significant structural reforms at PREPA. The Oversight Board hasplan also requested fiscal plans from certain other public corporations and instrumentalities, which are subject to ongoing review and have not been approved by the Oversight Board as of the date hereof.

Such restructuring was approved by the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated May 15, 2017, entered into by and among GDB and a significant portionU.S. District Court for the District of its financial creditorsPuerto Rico (the “GDB RSA”), GDB noteholders and municipal depositors would be eligible to exchange their claims against GDB for one of three tranches of bonds to be issued by a new government entity and which would have varied upfront exchange ratios (ranging from 55% to 75%“U.S. District Court”) and coupon rates (ranging from 3.5% to 7.5%). The new bonds would be payable from payments received in respect of certain assets to be transferred by GDB to such new government entity (consisting largely of municipal loans). The legality of the modification of GDB’s financial obligations outlined in the GDB RSA is currently being challenged in court by certain dissenting municipalities with deposits in GDB.

On August 4, 2017, the Board also released its proposal for achieving a reduction in pension benefit outlays of 10% by fiscal year 2020. The proposal, which would be pursued through a court-approved plan of adjustment under Title III of PROMESA (described below), would reduce pension benefit payments in a progressive manner, so that lower income retirees would see a lower or no reduction in benefits while those with higher benefits would see larger reductions. The Oversight Board estimates that under this proposal, 25% of retirees would see no reductions and the median retiree would receive less than a 10% reduction. The Government, however, has stated that it will seek to protect pension benefit payments to retirees in full.

On October 31, 2017, the Oversight Board requested revised fiscal plans for the Commonwealth and various public corporations to take into account the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The Oversight Board expects that the revised fiscal plans would be certified by January or Februarysubsequently consummated on November 29, 2018.

Pending Title III and Title VI Proceedings

On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board, on behalf of the Commonwealth, filed a petition in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico to restructure the Commonwealth’s liabilities under Title III of PROMESA. The Oversight Board has subsequently filed analogous petitions with respect to COFINA, ERS, HTAthe Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”), the Employees Retirement System of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority and PREPA.

On October 19, 2018, the Oversight Board filed a plan of adjustment for COFINA (as subsequently amended, the “COFINA Plan of Adjustment”), as well as a motion to approve a settlement of certain disputes between the Commonwealth and COFINA regarding the ownership of a portion of the sales and use tax pledged to the payment of COFINA’s bonds (the “COFINA Settlement”). The COFINA Plan of Adjustment provided for the restructuring of COFINA’s bonds based on the COFINA Settlement, which contemplated that the Commonwealth would receive approximately 46.35% of the yearly revenues previously allocated to COFINA. The COFINA Settlement and the COFINA Plan of Adjustment were confirmed by the U.S. District Court on February 4, 2019 and the restructuring transaction contemplated thereby was consummated on February 12, 2019. As of the date of this report, the plans of adjustment for said entities’ debtsthe other Title III debtors have not been filed. Based on the projection of funds available for debt service under the applicable fiscal plans, however, the restructuring is expected to result in significant discounts on creditor recoveries.

On July 12, 2017, the Oversight Board conditionally authorized GDB to pursue the modification of its financial obligations outlined in the GDB RSA pursuant to Title VI of PROMESA.

Exposure of the Corporation

The credit quality of BPPR’s loan portfolio necessarily reflects, among other things, the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico and other adverse conditions affecting Puerto Rico consumers and businesses. The effects of the prolonged recession are reflected in limited loan demand, an increase in the rate of foreclosures and delinquencies on loans granted in Puerto Rico. While PROMESA provides a process to address the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis, the length and complexity of the Title III proceedings for the Commonwealth and various of its instrumentalities, the adjustment measures required by the fiscal plans and the long-term impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria suggest a risk of furtherpresent significant economic contraction.risks. In addition, the measures taken to address the

fiscal crisis and those that will have to be taken in the near future will likely affect many of our individual customers and customers’ businesses, which could cause credit losses that adversely affect us and may negatively affect consumer confidence. This, in turn, resultscould result in reductions in consumer spending that may also adversely impact our interest andnon-interest revenues. If global or local economic conditions worsen or the Government of Puerto Rico and the Oversight Board are unable to adequately manage the Commonwealth’s post-hurricane recovery effortsfiscal andpre-existing fiscal crisis, economic challenges, including by consummating an orderly restructuring of its debt obligations while continuing to provide essential services, these adverse effects could continue or worsen in ways that we are not able to predict. For additional discussion of risk factors related to the impact of the hurricanes, see Item 1A of this report.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities amountedtotaled to $ 484 million, of which approximately $ 482 million is outstanding ($584$455 million and $529$458 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016). Deteriorationwhich amounts were fully outstanding on such dates. Further deterioration of the Commonwealth’s fiscal and economic situation including any negative ratings implications, could further adversely affect the value of our Puerto Rico government obligations, resulting in losses to us. Of the amount outstanding, $ 433$413 million consists of loans and $ 49$42 million are securities ($459413 million and $70$45 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016)2018). AllSubstantially all of the amount outstanding at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 were obligations from various Puerto Rico municipalities. In most cases, these were “general obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged its good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power, or “special obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged other revenues ($512 million at Decemberrevenues. At March 31, 2016). At September 30, 2017, 74%2019, 75% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities was concentrated in the municipalities of San Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Bayamón. AlthoughAs discussed above, the PROMESA Oversight Board has notrecently designated any of theall Commonwealth’s 78 municipalities as covered entities under PROMESA it may decideand requested the development of fiscal plans and budgets from ten municipalities as part of a new pilot initiative. The Corporation does not have direct exposure to do so inany of the future.municipalities that are currently part of such pilot initiative. For a more detailed description of the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities, refer to Note 2221 – Commitments and contingencies.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Corporation sold all of its COFINA bonds at a gain of approximately $0.1 million. The Corporation had recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $8.3 million in respect of those bonds during the second quarter of 2017 as a result of the filing of the Title III proceeding in respect of COFINA and thenon-payment of interest on the COFINA bonds in June 2017 pursuant to a court order issued in such proceeding.

In addition, at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had $391$365 million in indirect exposure to loans insured or securities issued or guaranteed by Puerto Rico governmental entities, but whosefor which the principal source of repayment are isnon-governmental entities. In such obligations, the Puerto Rico governmental entity guarantees any shortfall in collateral in the event of borrower default ($406368 million at December 31, 2016)2018). These included $313$290 million in residential mortgage loans guaranteedinsured by the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (“HFA”), an entitya governmental instrumentality that has been designated as a covered entity under PROMESA (December 31, 20162018 - $326$293 million). These mortgage loans are secured by the underlyingfirst mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA guarantee serves to cover shortfalls in collateralinsurance covers losses in the event of a borrower default.default and subsequent foreclosure of the underlying property. The Corporation also had, at March 31, 2019, $45 million in bonds issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto Rico residential properties, and for which HFA also provides insurance to cover losses in the event of a borrower default, and subsequent foreclosure of the underlying property (December 31, 2018 - $45 million). In the event that the mortgage loans insured by HFA and held by the Corporation directly or those serving as collateral for the HFA bonds default and the collateral is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance of this loans, HFA’s ability to honor its insurance will depend, among other factors, on the financial condition of HFA at the time such obligations become due and payable. Although the Governor is currently authorized by local legislation to impose a temporary moratorium on the financial obligations of the HFA, he has not exercised this power as of the date hereof. Also,In addition, at March 31, 2019, the Corporation had $43$7 million in Puerto Rico housing bondssecurities issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto Rico residential properties, $6 million in pass-through securities that have been economically defeased and refunded and for which collateral includingsecurities consisting of U.S. agencies and Treasury obligations hashave been escrowed (December 31, 2018 - $7 million), and $29$23 million of commercial real estate notes issued by government entities, but that are payable from rent paid by privatenon-governmental parties ($43 million, $6 million and $31 million December(December 31, 2016, respectively)2018 - $23 million).

BPPR’s commercial loan portfolio also includes loans to private borrowers who are service providers, lessors, suppliers or have other relationships with the government. These borrowers could be negatively affected by the fiscal measures to be implemented to address the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis and the ongoing Title III proceedings under PROMESA described above. Similarly, BPPR’s mortgage and consumer loan portfolios include loans to current and former government employees which could also be negatively affected by fiscal measures such as employee layoffs or furloughs.furloughs or reductions in pension benefits.

BPPR also has a significant amount of deposits from the Commonwealth, its instrumentalities, and municipalities. The amount of such deposits may fluctuate depending on the financial condition and liquidity of such entities, as well as on the ability of BPPR to maintain these customer relationships.

The Corporation may also have direct exposure with regards to avoidance and other causes of action initiated by the Oversight Board on behalf of the Commonwealth or other Title III debtors. For additional information regarding such exposure, refer to Note 21 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

United States Virgin Islands

The Corporation has operations in the United States Virgin Islands (the “USVI”) and has credit exposure to USVI government entities.

The USVI has been experiencing a number of fiscal and economic challenges that could adversely affect the ability of its public corporations and instrumentalities to service their outstanding debt obligations, and was also severely impacted by Hurricanes Irma and María. PROMESA does not apply to the USVI and, as such, there is currently no federal legislation permitting the restructuring of the debts of the USVI and its public corporations and instrumentalities.

To the extent that the fiscal condition of the USVI continues to deteriorate, the U.S. Congress or the Government of the USVI may enact legislation allowing for the restructuring of the financial obligations of USVI government entities or imposing a stay on creditor remedies, including by making PROMESA applicable to the USVI.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Corporation’s direct exposure to USVI instrumentalities and public corporations amounted to approximately $82$75 million, of which approximately $74$67 million is outstanding.outstanding (compared to $76 million and $68 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018). Of the amount outstanding, approximately (i) $43$42 million represents loans to the West Indian Company LTD, a government-owned company that owns and operates a cruise ship pier and shopping mall complex in St. Thomas, (ii) $14 million represents loans to the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority, a public corporation of the USVI that operates USVI’s water production and electric generation plants, and (iii) $17$11 million represents loans to the Virgin Islands Public Finance Authority, a public corporation of the USVI created for the purpose of raising capital for public projects.projects (compared to $42 million, $14 million and $12 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018).

U.S. Government

As further detailed in Notes 6 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a substantial portion of the Corporation’s investment securities represented exposure to the U.S. Government in the form of U.S. Government sponsored entities, as well as agency mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, $896 million$1.2 billion of residential mortgages and $87$72 million commercial loans were insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019 (compared to $1.2 billion and $74 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018).

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets include primarilypast-due loans that are no longer accruing interest, renegotiated loans, and real estate property acquired through foreclosure. A summary, including certain credit quality metrics, is presented in Table 21.14.

On June 30, 2015,During the shared-loss arrangement underfirst quarter of 2019, the commercial loss share agreement with the FDIC related to the loans acquired from Westernbank as part of the FDIC assisted transaction in 2010 expired. Loans and OREO’s that remain covered under the terms of the single-family loss share agreement, which expires on June 30, 2020, continue to be presented as covered assets in the accompanying tables and credit metrics as of September 30, 2017.

Because of the application of ASC Subtopic310-30 to the Westernbank acquired loans and the loss protection provided by the FDIC which limits the risks on the covered loans, the Corporation has determined to provide certain quality metrics in this MD&A that exclude such covered loans to facilitate the comparison between loan portfolios and across periods. The Corporation believes the inclusion of these loans in certain asset quality ratios in the numerator or denominator (or both) would result in a distortion to these ratios. In addition, because charge-offs related to the acquired loans are recorded against thenon-accretable balance, the netcharge-off ratio including the acquired loans is lower for the single-family loan portfolios which includes covered loans. The inclusion of these loans in the asset quality ratios could result in a lack of comparability across periods, and could negatively impact comparability with other portfolios that were not impacted by acquisition accounting. The Corporation believes that the presentation of asset quality measures, excluding covered loans and related amounts from both the numerator and denominator, provides a better perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio.

Certain of the asset quality measures were impacted by the damages caused by the hurricanes, which led to higher delinquencies and nonperforming loans, as payment channels, collection efforts and loss mitigation operations were interrupted and mainly unavailable for the last 10 days of the quarter. A provision was made to the allowance for loans losses based on management’s best estimate of the impact of the hurricanes on the ability of the borrowers to repay their loans, in light of an already fragile economy in Puerto Rico prior to the hurricanes. Management will continue to carefully assess the exposure of the portfolios to hurricane-related factors, economic trends, and their effect on credit quality. The U.S. operationssegment continued to reflect positive credit quality trends. Mortgage delinquencies continued to improve, and net charge-offs were at 0.71% on that portfolio. The Corporation continues to be attentive to the performance of its portfolios and related credit metrics. The results of the Popular U.S. segment remained stable with strong growth and favorable credit quality metrics.

In response to the hurricanes’ effects on its customers, the Corporation implemented aTotal90-daynon-performing moratorium, equal to three months of suspended payments for consumer and certain commercial borrowers that were current or less than ninety days past due in their payments as of September 30, 2017. As a result of the moratorium, eligible loans for which the borrower takes advantage of the moratorium do not affect the asset quality measures as the suspended payments are not deemed to be delinquent and the Corporation continues to accrue interest on these loans.

At September 30, 2017,non-performing loansMarch 31, 2019, NPLs secured by real estateheld-in-portfolio, excluding covered loans, amounted to $471$455 million in the Puerto Rico operations and $33$39 million in the Popular U.S. operations. These figures compare to $467were $459 million in the Puerto Rico operations and $21$49 million, in the U.S. operationsrespectively, at December 31, 2016. 2018.

The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio secured by real estate (“CRE”) amounted to $7.7 billion at March 31, 2019, of which $2.0 billion was secured with owner occupied properties, compared with $7.8 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2018. CRE NPLs amounted to $125 million at March 31, 2019, compared with $129 million at December 31, 2018. The CRE NPL ratios for the BPPR and Popular U.S. segments were 2.95% and 0.06%, respectively, at March 31, 2019, compared with 3.05% and 0.02%, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

In addition to thenon-performing loans NPLs included in Table 2114, at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, there were $159$183 million ofnon-covered performing loans, mostly commercial loans, which in management’s opinion, are currently subject to potential future classification asnon-performing and are considered impaired (December 31, 2018—$153 million).

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, total inflows of NPLsheld-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, decreased by $69 million, or 53%, when compared with $169to the inflows for the same quarter in 2018. Inflows of NPLsheld-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment decreased by $70 million, or 55%, compared to the inflows for the first quarter of 2018, driven by lower mortgage inflows of $61 million, as the first quarter of 2018 was impacted by the end of the payment moratorium granted after the hurricanes. Inflows of NPLsheld-in-portfolioat December 31, 2016.

There were nonon-performing loansheld-for-sale as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.2018.

It excludes covered loans accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 as they are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method, in which these loans will accrete interest income over the remaining life of the loans using estimated cash flow analyses.
[4]Loansheld-in-portfolio used in the computation exclude $525 million in covered loans at September 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 —$573 million).
[5]

The carrying value of loans accounted for under ASCSub-topic310-30 that are contractually 90 days or more past due was $251$257 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2016—$2822018 - $216 million). This amount is excluded from the above table as the loans’ accretable yield interest recognition is independent from the underlying contractual loan delinquency status.

It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90 days or more as opposed tonon-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These balances include $157$292 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2016—$1812018 - $283 million). Furthermore, theThese balances also include approximately $106 million of loans rebooked due to a repurchase option with GNMA liability (December 31, 2018 - $134 million). The Corporation has approximately $57$67 million in reverse mortgage loans which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest. Due to the guaranteed nature of the loans, it is the Corporation’s policy to exclude these balances fromnon-performing assets (December 31, 2016—$682018 - $69 million).

Also, accruing loans past due 90 days or more include residential conventional loans purchased from other financial institutions that, although delinquent, the Corporation has received timely payment from the sellers / servicers, and, in some instances, have partial guarantees under recourse agreements.

The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio secured by real estate (“CRE”), excluding covered loans, amounted to $7.4 billion at September 30, 2017, of which $2.0 billion was secured with owner occupied properties, compared with $7.2 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2016. CREnon-performing loans, excluding covered loans, amounted to $118 million at September 30, 2017, compared with $130 million at December 31, 2016. The CREnon-performing loans ratios for the BPPR and BPNA segments were 2.63% and 0.12%, respectively, at September 30, 2017, compared with 2.83% and 0.07%, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, totalnon-performing loan inflows, excluding consumer loans, increased by $5 million, or 5%, when compared to the inflows for the same quarter in 2016. Inflows ofnon-performing loansheld-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment increased by $4 million, or 4%, compared to the inflows for the third quarter of 2016, mostly related to higher mortgage inflows of $10 million, impacted by Hurricane María.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Non-Covered Loan Portfolio

The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), which represents management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, is maintained at a sufficient level to provide for estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. The Corporation’s management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan lossesALLL on a quarterly basis. In this evaluation, management considers current economic conditions and the resulting impact on Popular Inc.’s loan portfolio, the composition of the portfolio by loan type and risk characteristics, historical loss experience, results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans, regulatory requirements and loan impairment measurement, among other factors.

The Corporation must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown, such as economic developments affecting specific customers, industries or markets. Other factors that can affect management’s estimates are the years of historical data when estimating losses, changes in underwriting standards, financial accounting standards and loan impairment measurements, among others. Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold, may allalso affect the required level of the allowance for loan losses. Consequently, the business financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations could also be affected. Refer to Note 9 and the Critical Accounting Policies / Estimates section of this MD&A for a description of the Corporation’s allowance for loans losses methodology.

At March 31, 2019, the ALLL amounted to $551 million, a decrease of $19 million when compared with December 31, 2018. The BPPR ALLL decreased by $23 million, principally due to charge-offs from impaired loans, most significantly the previously mentioned $12.0 million commercialcharge-off, coupled with improvements in loss trends in the mortgage portfolio. This decrease was offset in part by an increase of $4 million in the Popular U.S. segment, primarily related to the qualitative component of the commercial portfolio. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2019 amounted to $41.8 million, compared to $71.1 million in the same period in the prior year. Refer to the Provision for Loan Losses section of this MD&A for additional information.

Non-covered loans portfolio

At September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses, increased by $104 million when compared with December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan losses at the BPPR segment increased by $56 million to $524 million, or 3.06% ofnon-covered loansheld-in-portfolio when compared to December 31, 2016. The environmental factors reserve, which considers unemployment and deterioration in economic activity, increased by $64 million to $122 million based on management’s best estimate, including the

hurricanes’ impact on the loan portfolios using currently available information. While the total reserve was increased to $122 million as the nearmid-range loss estimate, management’s loan loss estimate ranged from approximately $70 million to $160 million. Since there is significant uncertainty with respect to the full extent of the impact due to the unprecedented nature of Hurricane Maria, the estimate is judgmental and subject to change as conditions evolve. Management will continue to carefully assess and review the exposure of the portfolios to hurricane-related factors, economic trends and their effect on credit quality. The ratio of the allowance tonon-performing loansheld-in-portfolio was 95.55% at September 30, 2017, compared with 87.88% at December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan losses at the BPNA segment increased to $90 million, or 1.48% of loansheld-in-portfolio, compared with $42 million, or 0.75% of loansheld-in-portfolio, at December 31, 2016, driven by higher reserves for the U.S. Taxi Medallion portfolio. The ratio of the allowance tonon-performing loansheld-in-portfolio at the BPNA segment was 240.48% at September 30, 2017, compared with 166.56% at December 31, 2016.

Covered loans portfolio

The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses for the covered loan portfolio acquired in the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction amounted to $33 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $30 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was mainly due to adjustments in the estimated cash flows of purchased credit impaired loans accounted for under ASC310-10 to reflect the three-month payment moratorium offered to certain eligible borrowers.

Decreases in expected cash flows after the acquisition date for loans (pools) accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 are recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses in the current period. For purposes of loans accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-20 and new loans originated as a result of loan commitments assumed, the Corporation’s assessment of the allowance for loan losses is determined in accordance with the accounting guidance of loss contingencies in ASC Subtopic450-20 (general reserve for inherent losses) and loan impairment guidance in ASCSection 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

Troubled debt restructurings

The Corporation’s TDR loans excluding covered loans, amounted to $1.3$1.5 billion at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, increasing by $17$14 million, or 1.4%approximately 0.93%, from December 31, 2016.2018, mainly driven by higher TDRs in the BPPR segment of $13 million. The increase in BPPR was mostly related to higher mortgage TDRs of $32 million, of which $27 million were government guaranteed loans, partially offset by lower commercial TDRs of $16 million. TDRs in accruing status increased by $30$26 million from December 31, 2016 to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2017, due to sustained borrower performance,2018, whilenon-accruing TDRs decreased by $13$12 million.

Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements for additional information on modifications considered troubled debt restructurings, including certain qualitative and quantitative data about troubled debt restructurings performed in the past twelve months.

The following tables that follow present the approximate amount and percentage ofnon-covered commercial impaired loans for which the Corporation relied on appraisals dated more than one year old for purposes of impairment requirements at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.

2018.

Appraisals may be adjusted due to their age and the type, location and condition of the property, area or general market conditions to reflect the expected change in value between the effective date of the appraisal and the impairment measurement date. Refer to the Allowance for Loan Losses section of Note 2, “Summary of significant accounting policies” of the Corporation’s 2018 Form10-K for more information.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Refer to Note 4,3, “New Accounting Pronouncements” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Adjusted net income –Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or the “reported basis”). In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management monitors the “adjusted net income” of the Corporation and excludes the impact of certain transactions on the results of its operations. Adjusted net income is anon-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that the adjusted net income provides meaningful information about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations.

No adjustments are reflected for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Tables 36 and 37 present a reconciliation of reported results to Adjusted net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Corporation’s management, with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, due to the disruption in power and telecommunications caused by hurricanes Irma and Maria and the resulting inability of certain of the Corporation’s bank branches to communicate electronic data through our network, some automated processes for the recording or capture of certain bank branch transactions were performed manually. Management implemented certain temporary modifications to its internal controls, the effectiveness of which has notThere have been tested, in order to be able to capture and record these transactions. Based on the information currently available, management believes that theseno changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that have not materially affected, noror are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

The risks described in our 20162018 Form10-K and in this report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position.

Recent hurricanes caused extensive damage in Puerto Rico, our primary market, and in other markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on such jurisdictions’ economies and could materially adversely affect us.

During the month of September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria, two major hurricanes, caused extensive destruction in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”) and the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), disrupting the primary markets in which Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”) does business. Most relevant, Hurricane Maria made landfall on September 20, 2017, causing severe wind and flood damage to infrastructure, homes and businesses throughout Puerto Rico. Following the passage of Hurricane Maria, all Puerto Rico was left without electrical power, other basic utility and infrastructure services (such as water, communications, ports and other transportation networks) were severely curtailed and the government imposed a mandatory curfew. The hurricanes caused a significant disruption to the island’s economic activity. Most business establishments, including retailers and wholesalers, financial institutions, manufacturing facilities and hotels, were closed for several days.

Puerto Rico and the USVI were declared disaster zones by President Trump due to the impact of the hurricanes, thus making them eligible for Federal assistance. Notwithstanding the significant recovery operation that is underway by the Federal, state and local governments, as of the date of this report, most businesses and homes in Puerto Rico and the USVI remain without power, other basic utility and infrastructure remains significantly impacted, and many businesses are partially operating or remain closed. Electronic transactions, a significant source of revenue for the bank, have also declined significantly as a result of the lack of power and telecommunication services. Several reports indicate that the hurricanes have also accelerated the outmigration trends that Puerto Rico was experiencing, with many residents moving to the mainland United States, either on a temporary or permanent basis.

While it is too early to assess and quantify the full extent of the damage caused by the hurricanes, as well as their long-term impact on economic activity, the damages are substantial and have, at least in the short-term, had a material adverse impact on economic activity, as reflected by, among other things, the slowdown in production and sales activity and the reduction in the government’s tax revenues. Employment levels are also expected to decrease at least in the short-term. The speed at which the government is able to restore power and other basic services throughout Puerto Rico, which we are not able to predict, will be a critical variable in determining the extent of the impact on economic activity. Furthermore, the hurricanes severely damaged or destroyed buildings, homes and other structures, impacting the value of such properties, some of which may serve as collateral to our loans. While our collateral is generally insured, the value of such insured structures, as well as other structures unaffected by the hurricanes, may be significantly impacted. Although some of the impact of the hurricanes, including its short-term impact on economic activity, may be offset by recovery and reconstruction activity and the influx of Federal emergency funds and private insurance proceeds, it is too early to know the amount of Federal and private insurance money to be received and whether such transfers will significantly offset the negative economic, fiscal and demographic impact of the hurricanes.

Our credit exposure is concentrated in Puerto Rico, which accounted as of September 30, 2017 for approximately 80% of ouryear-to-date revenues, 75% of our total assets and 78% of our deposits. As such, our financial condition and results of operations are dependent upon the general trends of the Puerto Rico economy and, in particular, the residential and commercial real estate markets and asset values in Puerto Rico. The deterioration in economic activity and potential impact on asset values resulting from the hurricanes, when added to Puerto Rico’s ongoing fiscal crisis and recession, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position in a manner greater than estimated by management and reflected in our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. To a lesser extent, we are also exposed to other areas that were similarly affected by the hurricanes, such as the US and British Virgin Islands, where as of September 30, 2017 we had 2% of our total assets, 3% of our deposits and accounted for approximately 3% of ouryear-to-date revenues.

Recent hurricanes caused significant disruptions to our BPPR operations and negatively impacted our results of operations as well as certain of the Corporation’s asset quality ratios. Furthermore, while the Corporation has made an allowance for loan losses based on management’s current best estimate of the impact of the hurricanes, there is significant uncertainty with respect to the full extent of the impact of the hurricanes and, as a result, the financial impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations could be significantly greater.

The recent hurricanes, especially Hurricane Maria, significantly disrupted our operations and negatively impacted certain of the Corporation’s asset quality ratios. Hurricane Maria impacted our branch and ATM network, with certain branches and ATMs still closed to this day. As of November 7, 2017, we have been able to resume operations in approximately 85% of BPPR’s branches and 69% of our ATMs are operational. The lack of power and telecommunications services has also affected the infrastructure necessary to process electronic transactions by our customers. Our ability to reopen our remaining branches and ATMs, as well as the recovery of merchant transaction activity, principally depends on the government’s ability to restore electricity and other basic infrastructure, the timing of which remains uncertain.

These hurricanes adversely affected our operations and financial performance during the third quarter of 2017, resulting in additional operating expenses (net of insurance receivables) of approximately $9.5 million and an incremental provision for loan losses related to the impact of the hurricanes of approximately $69.9 million. In addition, ournon-interest income was lower by $16.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2017, reflecting, in part, the effect of the disruption caused by the hurricanes in a number of categories, including credit and debit card fees and other service fees and charges.

The effects of the hurricanes continue to adversely affect our operations during the fourth quarter of 2017 as most of the island continues to be without power and our operations, and those of many of our customers, continue to be significantly affected. Although management has made estimates as to the probable losses related to the hurricanes as part of its evaluation of the allowance for loan and lease losses, such estimates involve significant judgment and are made in the context of significant uncertainty as to the impact that the hurricanes will have on the credit quality of our loan portfolios. In affected areas, the value of our loan collateral and the extent to which damages to properties collateralizing loans, among other factors, may further impact those estimates of losses. The extent of the economic impact of the hurricanes is also impossible to determine with certainty at this time as it is partly dependent on the time it takes the government to restore power and other basic infrastructure services and the effects of the potential influx of Federal emergency funds and private insurance proceeds. As management continues to assess the impact of these hurricanes on economic activity, asset values in Puerto Rico, and our customers in particular, our results of operations may continue to be adversely affected, and such adverse impact could be material to us and exceed management’s current estimates.

Measures implemented by Popular to address customer needs as a result of the recent hurricanes, including fee waivers and temporary payment moratorium across most loan portfolios, have had, and are expected to continue to have, a negative impact on results of operations and liquidity.

Given the widespread level of disruption to basic infrastructure and commercial activity in the regions impacted by the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria, BPPR decided to adopt certain measures to assist its customers in affected areas. These measures include the waiver of certain fees and charges, such as late payment charges and ATM transaction fees and a temporary payment moratorium of three months to eligible borrowers across most loan portfolios during which BPPR will continue to accrue interest on the loans.

These measures, while important to assist in the recovery of our customers post-hurricane, will negatively impact our results of operations and liquidity. For example, the waiver of fees and other charges impacted the Corporation’s revenues for the third quarter and the Corporation estimates that revenues in the fourth quarter will also be negatively impacted by such waivers. The moratorium measures, whose ultimate effect will depend in part on the number of customers who take advantage of such plans, will also impact our liquidity not only due to principal and interest payments that BPPR will not receive during the period, but also as a result of loans serviced by the Corporation where we are required to advance to the owners the payment of principal and interest on a scheduled basis even when such payment is not collected from the borrower.

Management believes that the liquidity impact of these measures will not be significant in light of BPPR’s existing liquidity resources and that BPPR has sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow obligations. However, no assurance can be given that BPPR will have access to sufficient liquidity sources, or that BPPR may not have to rely on more expensive funding sources, if there were unanticipated demands on its liquidity due to deteriorating market conditions or any future stress event. Furthermore, because of the moratoriums, we will have limited visibility as to the impact of the hurricanes on the financial condition of our retail customers and the credit quality of our loan portfolio until the end of the moratorium period when borrowers have to resume loan repayments.

Recent hurricanes have significantly affected government operations in Puerto Rico and the USVI, which could materially affect the value of our portfolio of government securities and loans to government entities in Puerto Rico and the USVI.

The recent hurricanes have caused significant disruption in economic activity and government operations in Puerto Rico and the USVI. While it is too early to quantify the effects of these hurricanes on the financial condition of the affected government entities, the negative economic and other effects from the hurricanes could result in reduced revenues from taxes and services as well as extraordinary expenses that may not be fully offset by Federal and other extraordinary assistance. We have direct exposure to

various Puerto Rico and USVI government entities, the majority of which consists of loans to various Puerto Rico municipalities that are principally backed by property tax revenues. Further deterioration of the fiscal situation of the Puerto Rico and USVI government entities to which we have exposure could adversely affect the value of our loans and securities that are directly or indirectly payable from or guaranteed by Puerto Rico and USVI government entities, resulting in losses to us. For a discussion of our exposure to the Puerto Rico and USVI government entities, refer to the Geographic and Government Risk section in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report.

Recent hurricanes have caused significant disruptions in power and telecommunications in Puerto Rico, which have required us to adopt temporary modifications to our internal controls, the effectiveness of which has not been tested by management in connection with our annual Sarbanes-Oxley Act assessment and which, if determined to be ineffective, could materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

The loss of power and telecommunications and the resulting inability of certain of the Corporation’s bank branches to communicate electronic data through our network caused some automated processes for the recording or capture of certain bank branch transactions to be performed manually. While management has evaluated and believes that the temporary modifications implemented and mitigating controls in place are adequate to maintain an effective control over financial reporting, management has not yet tested the effectiveness of these modified controls in connection with its annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and cannot be certain that the new temporary processes will ensure that we maintain adequate controls over the processing of certain bank transactions. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If these controls were deemed ineffective, management or our outside auditors could conclude that there is a deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, which, until remediated, could result in misstatements to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If such deficiency rises to the level of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, it would mean that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could also cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
