These statements are not guarantees of future performance, are based on management’s current expectations and, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions. Potential factors, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation the effect of competitive and economic factors, and our reaction to those factors, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, delinquency trends, market risk and the impact of interest rate changes, capital markets conditions, capital adequacy and liquidity, and the effect of legal and regulatory proceedings and new accounting standards on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” “may” or similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Various factors, some of which are beyond Popular’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:

the rate of growth or decline in the economy and employment levels, as well as general business and economic conditions in the geographic areas we serve and, in particular, in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth” or “Puerto Rico”), where a significant portion of our business is concentrated;

the impact of the current fiscal and economic challenges of Puerto Rico and the measures taken and to be taken by the Puerto Rico Government and the Federally-appointed oversight board on the economy, our customers and our business;

the impact of the pending debt restructuring proceedings under Title III of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) and of other actions taken or to be taken to address Puerto Rico’s fiscal challenges on the value of our portfolio of Puerto Rico government securities and loans to governmental entities and of our commercial, mortgage and consumer loan portfolios where private borrowers could be directly affected by governmental action;

the scope and duration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of Hurricanes Irmathe pandemic on us, our clients, customers, service providers and Maria, and the measures taken to recover from these hurricanes (including the availability of relief funds and insurance proceeds), on the economy of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands, and on our customers and our business;third parties;

changes in interest rates and market liquidity, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect our ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;

the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies;

changes in federal bank regulatory and supervisory policies, including required levels of capital and the impact of proposed capital standards on our capital ratios;

additional Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessments;

regulatory approvals that may be necessary to undertake certain actions or consummate strategic transactions such as acquisitions and dispositions;

hurricanesunforeseen or catastrophic events, including extreme weather events, other natural disasters, man-made disasters or the emergence of pandemics, epidemics and other weather-related events, as well asman-made disasters,health-related crises, which could cause a disruption in our operations or other adverse consequences for our business;

the ability to successfully integrate the auto finance business acquired from Wells Fargo & Company, as well as unexpected costs, including as a result of any unrecorded liabilities or issues not identified during the due diligence investigation of the business or that may not be subject to indemnification or reimbursement under the acquisition agreement, and risks that the business may suffer as a result of the transaction, including due to adverse effects on relationships with customers, employees and service providers;

the relative strength or weakness of the consumer and commercial credit sectors and of the real estate markets in Puerto Rico and the other markets in which borrowers are located;

the performance of the stock and bond markets;

4


competition in the financial services industry;

possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes; and

a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure or those of EVERTEC, Inc., our provider of core financial transaction processing and information technology services, or of other third parties providing services to us, including as a result of cyberattacks,e-fraud,denial-of-services and computer intrusion, that might result in loss or breach of customer data, disruption of services, reputational damage or additional costs to Popular.

Other possible events or factors that could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements include the following:

negative economic conditions that adversely affect housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect, among other things, the level ofnon-performing assets, charge-offs and provision expense;

changes in market rates and prices which may adversely impact the value of financial assets and liabilities;

changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations;

our ability to grow our core businesses;

decisions to downsize, sell or close units or otherwise change our business mix; and

management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.

Further, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operation may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, clients, third parties and us.

Moreover, the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings, as discussed in “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings,” is inherently uncertain and depends on judicial interpretations of law and the findings of regulators, judges and/or juries. Investors should refer to the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as well as “Part II, Item 1A” of this Form10-Q for a discussion of such factors and certain risks and uncertainties to which the Corporation is subject.

All forward-looking statements included in this Form10-Q are based upon information available to Popular as of the date of this Form10-Q, and other than as required by law, including the requirements of applicable securities laws, we assume no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared without audit. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data at December 31, 20182019 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, 2018,2019, included in the Corporation’s 20182019 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.

Effect on the financial statements

FASB ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment

The FASB issued ASU 2017-04 in January 2017, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the two-step goodwill impairment test under the current guidance. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Entities will be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.

January 1, 2020

The Corporation adopted ASU 2017-04 during the first quarter of 2020 and, as such, considered this guidance when performing the interim impairment test as of March 31, 2020. Refer to Note 14, Goodwill and other intangible assets, for additional information.

FASB ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings (SEC Update)

The FASB issued ASU 2017-03 in January 2017, which incorporates into the Accounting Standards Codification recent SEC guidance about certain investments in qualified affordable housing and disclosing under SEC SAB Topic 11.M the effect on financial statements of adopting the revenue, leases and credit losses standards.

January 1, 2020

The Corporation has considered the guidance in this Update in its disclosures on the effect in its consolidated financial statements of adoption of the new Credit Loss Standard, discussed below.

FASB ASUs Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

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

TheSince June 2016, 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 incomemainly 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:

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments– Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments

The FASB issued ASU2019-04 in April 2019, which clarifies areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (Topic 326), derivativeswhich replace the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost that are subject to credit losses and hedging (Topic 815), and recognition and measurementcertain off-balance sheet exposures. CECL establishes a forward-looking methodology that reflects the expected credit losses over the lives of financial instruments (Topic 825). Amendmentsassets, starting when such assets are first acquired. Under the revised methodology, credit losses will be measured based on past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets. CECL also revises the approach to recognizing credit losses for available-for-sale securities by replacing the direct write-down approach with the allowance approach and limiting the allowance to the amount at which the security’s fair value is less than the amortized cost. In addition, CECL provides that the initial allowance for credit losses on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets will be recorded as an increase to the purchase price, with subsequent changes to the allowance recorded as a credit loss expense. The amendments to Topic 326 are mainly ininclude the areas of accrued interest receivable, transfers of loans and debt securities between classifications and the inclusion of expected recoveries in the allowance for credit losses including PCD assets. The standards also expand credit quality disclosures. These accounting standards updates were effective on January 1, 2020.

The Corporation adopted the new CECL accounting standard effective on January 1, 2020. As a result of the adoption, the Corporation recorded an increase in its allowance for credit losses related to its loan portfolio of $315 million, and permitting a prepay-adjusted effective interest ratedecrease of $9 million in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments and credit recourse guarantees which is recorded in Other Liabilities. The Corporation also recognized an allowance for credit losses of approximately $13 million related to its held-to-maturity debt securities portfolio. The adoption of CECL was recognized under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the adjustments to record the increase in the allowance for credit losses was recorded as a decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings of the year of implementation, net of income taxes, except for TDRs. Amendmentsapproximately $17 million related to Topic 815 and Topic 825 are mainlyloans previously accounted under ASC Subtopic 310-30, which resulted in a reclassification between certain contra loan balance accounts to the areasallowance for credit losses. The total impact to retained earnings, net of fair value hedges and equity securitiestax, related to the adoption of CECL was of $205.8 million.

As part of the adoption of CECL, the Corporation has made the election to break the existing pools of purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans previously accounted for under the ASC Subtopic 310-30 guidance. These loans are now accounted for on an individual loan basis under the PCD accounting methodology under CECL. Following the applicable accounting guidance, PCI loans were previously excluded from non-performing status. Upon transition to the individual loan measurement, alternative, respectively.these loans are no longer excluded from non-performing status, resulting in an increase of $278 million in NPLs at January 1, 2020. This increase includes $144 million in loans currently over 90 days past due and $134 million in loans that are not delinquent in their payment terms but are reported as non-performing due to other credit quality considerations.

Effect on the financial statements

FASB ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

The FASB issued ASU 2020-04 in March 2020, which provides accounting relief from the future impact of the cessation of LIBOR by, among other things, providing optional expedients to treat contract modifications resulting from such reference rate reform as a continuation of the existing contract and for hedging relationships to not be de-designated resulting from such changes provided certain criteria are met.

December 31, 2022

The Corporation is currently in the process of identifying its LIBOR-based contracts that will be impacted by this standard, incorporating fallback language if negotiated and incorporating reference rate language in new contracts to prepare for these changes. Notwithstanding, it will elect such optional expedients for contracts left unmodified.

Note 4 – Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting and financial reporting policies of Popular, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with prevailing practices within the financial services industry. A description of the significant accounting and financial reporting policies can be found on Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In connection with the implementation of the CECL new accounting standard, the Corporation has made changes to certain of its accounting policies related to its loans portfolio, debt securities portfolio and allowance for credit losses

Investment securities

Debt securities that the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as debt securities held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. An allowance for credit losses is established for the expected credit losses over the remaining term of debt securities-held-to-maturity. The Corporation has established a methodology to estimate credit losses which considers qualitative factors, including internal credit ratings and the underlying source of repayment in determining the amount of expected credit losses. Debt securities held-to-maturity are written-off through the allowance for credit losses when a portion or the entire amount is deemed uncollectible, based on the information considered to develop expected credit losses through the life of the asset. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by leveraging the expected loss framework for mortgages in the case of securities collateralized by 2nd lien loans and the commercial C&I models for municipal bonds. As part of this framework, internal factors are stressed, as a qualitative adjustment, to reflect current conditions that are not necessarily captured within the historical loss experience. The modeling framework includes a 2 year reasonable and supportable period gradually reverting, over a 1-year horizon, to historical information at the model input level.

Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Declines in fair value below the securities’ amortized cost which are not related to estimated credit losses are recorded through other comprehensive income or loss, net of taxes. If the Corporation intends to sell or believes it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security, it is written down to fair value through earnings. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, which will be limited to the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the asset. The allowance for credit losses should be established for the expected credit losses over the remaining term of debt security. The Corporation’s portfolio of available-for-sale securities is comprised mainly of U.S. Treasury notes and obligations from the U.S. Government. These securities have an explicit or implicit guarantee from the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Accordingly, the Corporation applies a zero-credit loss assumption and no allowance for credit losses has been established. The Corporation monitors its securities portfolio composition and credit performance on a quarterly basis to determine if any allowance is considered necessary. Debt securities available-for-sale are written-off when a portion or the entire amount is deemed uncollectible, based on the information considered to develop expected credit losses through the life of the asset.

Loans

Purchased loans with no evidence of credit deterioration since origination are accounted at fair value upon acquisition. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and are amortized over the remaining contractual term using the effective interest method. An allowance for credit losses is recognized as a provision expense for expected losses over the remaining life of the loans.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality

PCD loans are defined as those with evidence of a more-than-insignificant deterioration in a loan’s credit quality since origination. PCD loans are initially recorded at its purchase price plus an estimated allowance for credit losses. Upon the acquisition of a PCD loan, the Corporation makes an estimate of the expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term of each individual loan. The estimated credit losses over the life of the loan is recorded as an allowance of credit losses with a corresponding addition to the loan purchase price. The amount of the purchase premium or discount which is not related to credit risk is amortized over the life of the loan through net interest income using the effective interest method or a method that approximates the effective interest method.

21


Changes in expected credit losses are recorded as an increase or decrease to the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding charge (reverse) to the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Refer to Note 8to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information with respect to loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.

Allowance for credit losses – loans portfolio

The Corporation establishes an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) for its loan portfolio based on its estimate of credit losses over the remaining contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments. An ACL is recognized for all loans including originated and purchased loans, since inception, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses, except for PCD loans for which the ACL at acquisition is recorded as an addition to the purchase price with subsequent changes recorded in earnings.

The Corporation has established a methodology to estimate the ACL which includes a reasonable and supportable forecast period for estimating credit losses, considering quantitative and qualitative factors as well as the economic outlook. As part of this methodology management will evaluate various macroeconomic scenarios, provided by third parties, before selecting a single forward-looking scenario for loss estimation. This evaluation may include benchmarking procedures as well as careful analysis of the underlying assumptions used to build the scenarios. The Corporation may process, from time to time additional macroeconomic scenarios as part of its qualitative adjustment framework.

The macroeconomic variables chosen to estimate credit losses were selected by combining quantitative procedures with expert judgment. These variables were determined to be the best predictors of expected credit losses within the Corporation’s loan portfolios and include drivers such as; unemployment rate, different measures of employment levels, house prices, gross domestic product and measures of disposable income, amongst others. The loss estimation framework includes a reasonable and supportable period of 2 years for PR portfolios, gradually reverting, over a 1-year horizon, to historical macroeconomic variables at the model input level. For the US portfolio the reasonable and supportable period considers the contractual life of the asset, impacted by prepayments, except for the US CRE portfolio. The US CRE portfolio utilizes a 2 year reasonable and supportable period gradually reverting, over a 1-year horizon, to historical information at the output level.

The Corporation developed loan level quantitative models distributed by geography and loan type. This segmentation was determined by evaluating their risk characteristics, which include default patterns, source of repayment, type of collateral, and lending channels, amongst others. The modeling framework includes competing risk models to generate lifetime defaults and prepayments, and other loan level modeling techniques to estimate loss severity. Recoveries on future losses are contemplated as part of the loss severity modeling. These parameters are estimated by combining internal risk factors with macroeconomic expectations. In order to generate the expected credit losses, the output of these models is combined with loan level repayment information. The internal risk factors contemplated within the models may include borrowers credit scores, loan-to-value, delinquency status, risk ratings, interest rate, loan term, loan age and type of collateral, amongst others.

The allowance for credit losses also includes a qualitative framework that addresses two main components; losses that are expected but not captured within the quantitative modeling framework, and model imprecision. In order to identify potential losses that are not captured through the models, management evaluated model limitations as well as the different risks covered by the variables used in each quantitative model. This assessment took into consideration factors listed as part of ASU 326-20-55-4. To complement the analysis management also evaluated sectors that have low levels of historical defaults, but current conditions show the potential for future losses. This type of qualitative adjustment is more prevalent in the commercial portfolios. The model imprecision component of the qualitative adjustments is determined after evaluating model performance for these portfolios through different time periods. This type of qualitative adjustment mainly impacts consumer portfolios.

The Corporation has designated loans classified as collateral dependent for which it applies the practical expedient to measure the ACL based on the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, when the repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the sale or operation of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals, which may be adjusted due to their age, and the type, location, and condition of the property or area or general market conditions to reflect the expected change in value between the effective date of the appraisal and the measurement date.

In the case of trouble debt restructurings, the established framework captures the impact of concessions through discounting modified contractual cash flows, both principal and interest, at the loan’s original effective rate. The impact of these concessions is combined with the expected credit losses generated by the quantitative loss models in order to arrive at the allowance for credit losses. As a result, the allowance for credit losses related to TDRs is impacted by the expected macroeconomic conditions.

22


The Credit Cards portfolio, due to its revolving nature, does not have a specified maturity date. To estimate the average remaining term of this segment management evaluated the portfolios payment behavior based on internal historical data. These payment behaviors were further classified into sub-categories that accounted for delinquency history and differences between transactors, revolvers and customers that have exhibited mixed transactor/revolver behavior. Transactors are defined as active accounts without any finance charge in the last 6 months. The paydown curves generated for each sub-category are applied to the outstanding exposure at the measurement date using the first-in first-out (FIFO) methodology. These amortization patterns are combined with loan level default and loss severity modeling to arrive at the allowance for credit losses.

Accrued interest receivable

The amortized basis for loans and investments in debt securities is presented exclusive of accrued interest receivable. The Corporation has elected not to establish an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable for loans and investments in debt securities, given the Corporation’s non-accrual policies, in which accrual of interest is discontinued and reversed based on the asset’s delinquency status. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2018Corporation’s Annual Report on Form10-K.

Note 4 – Business combination

On August 1, 2018, Popular, Inc., through its subsidiary Popular Auto, LLC (“Popular Auto”), acquired and assumed from Reliable Financial Services, Inc. and Reliable Finance Holding Co. (“Reliable”), subsidiaries of Wells Fargo & Company, certain assets and liabilities related to their auto finance business in Puerto Rico (the “Reliable Transaction” or “Transaction”). Popular Auto acquired approximately $1.6 billion in retail auto loans and $341 million in primarily auto-related commercial loans. Reliable has continued operating as a Division of Popular Auto in parallel with Popular Auto’s existing operations to provide continuity of service to Reliable customers while allowing Popular to assess best practices before completing the integration of the two operations. The Corporation expects to complete the integration of these operations during the second quarter of 10k for year ended December 31, 2019 and continue to operate this business under the name of Popular Auto.

Wells Fargo retained approximately $398 million in retail auto loans as part of the Transaction and subsequently sold the same to a third party. Popular Auto has entered into a separate servicing agreement with respect to such loans.

Popular entered into the Transaction as part of its growth strategy to increase its market share in the auto finance business in Puerto Rico.    

The following table presents the fair values of the consideration and major classes of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Corporation as of August 1, 2018, net of cumulative measurement period adjustments as of period end.

The fair value discount is comprised of $106 million related to the retail auto loans portfolio and $4 million related to the commercial loans portfolio.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, measurement period adjustments, amounting to $16.5 million, were made to the estimated fair values of the loans acquired as part of the Transaction to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The increase in the fair value of retail auto loans and commercial loans by $12.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, was mainly attributed to decreases in credit loss expectations. The related cumulative adjustment to the amortization of the fair value discounts for the retail and commercial portfolios offset each other, resulting in an immaterial impact to the Corporation’s results.

Contractual cash flows for retail auto loans and commercial loans amounted to $1.8 billion and $348 million, respectively, from which $105 million and $3 million, respectively, are not expected to be collected.

For a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets acquiredCorporation’s nonaccrual policies.

Reserve for unfunded commitments

The Corporation establishes a reserve for unfunded commitments, based on the Reliable Transaction, referestimated losses over the remaining term of the facility, which is based on the maximum repayment term associated with future draws from credit lines. An allowance is not established for commitments that are unconditionally cancellable by the Corporation. Accordingly, no reserve is established for unfunded commitments related to Note 4its credit cards portfolio. Reserve for the unfunded portion of credit commitments is presented separately within other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements includedof Financial Condition.

Guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness to others

The estimated losses to be absorbed under the credit recourse arrangements are recorded as a liability when the loans are sold and are updated by accruing or reversing expense (categorized in the 2018 Form10-K.line item “Adjustments (expense) to indemnity reserves on loans sold” in the consolidated statements of operations) throughout the life of the loan, as necessary, when additional relevant information becomes available. The recourse liability is estimated using loan level statistical techniques. Internal factors that are evaluated include customer credit scores, refreshed loan-to-values, loan age, and outstanding balance, amongst others. The methodology leverages the expected loss framework for mortgage loans and includes macroeconomic expectations based on a 2 year reasonable and supportable period, gradually reverting over a 1-year horizon to historical macroeconomic variables at the input level. Estimated future defaults, prepayments and loss severity are combined with loan level repayment information in order to estimate lifetime expected losses for this portfolio. The reserve for the estimated losses under the credit recourse arrangements is presented separately within other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Note 5 - Restrictions on cash and due from banks and certain securities

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries, BPPR and PB, are required by federal and state regulatory agencies to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Fed”) or other banks. Those required average reserve balances amounted to $ 1.61.7 billion at March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $ 1.6 billion). Cash and due from banks, as well as other highly liquid securities, are used to cover the required average reserve balances.

At March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation held $ 47$64 million in restricted assets in the form of funds deposited in money market accounts, debt securities available for sale and equity securities (December 31, 20182019 - $ 6252 million). The restricted assets held in debt securities available for sale and equity securities consist primarily of assets held for the Corporation’snon-qualified retirement plans and fund deposits guaranteeing possible liens or encumbrances over the title of insured properties.

Includes $8.9 billion pledged to secure public and trust deposits, assets sold under agreements to repurchase, credit facilities and loan servicing agreements that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $7.9 billion serve as collateral for public funds.

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

Debt securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in 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.

There were no0 debt securities sold during the quarters ended March 31, 20192020 and March 31, 2018.2019.

The following tablestable present the Corporation’s fair value and gross unrealized losses of debt securitiesavailable-for-sale, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

As of March 31, 2019, 2020, the portfolio ofavailable-for-sale debt securities reflects gross unrealized losses of approximately $128$2 million, driven mainly by mortgage-backed securities U.S. Treasury securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Management evaluates debt 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. 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.

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 impaired as of such date. At 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 debt securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis.

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.

This includes $42$38 million of general and special obligation bonds issued by three municipalities of Puerto Rico, which are payable primarily from 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, which is required by law to levy property taxes in an amount sufficient for the payment of debt service on such general obligation bonds. The Corporation performs periodic credit quality reviews of these securities and internally assigns standardized credit risk ratings based on its evaluation. The Corporation considers these ratings in its estimate to develop the allowance for credit losses associated with these securities. For the definitions of the obligor risk ratings, refer to the Credit Quality section of Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation’s Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The following presents the amortized cost basis of securities held by the Corporation issued by municipalities of Puerto Rico aggregated by the internally assigned standardized credit risk rating:

These securities are not rated by a credit rating agency. The Corporation assesses the credit risk associated with these securities by evaluating the refreshed FICO scores of a representative sample of the underlying property.borrowers. The average refreshed FICO score for the representative sample, comprised of 65% of the nominal value of the securities, used for the March 31, 2020 loss estimate was of 685. The loss estimates for this portfolio was based on the methodology established under CECL for similar loan obligations.

A further deterioration of the Puerto Rico economy or of the fiscal health of the Government of Puerto Rico and/or its instrumentalities (including if any of the issuing municipalities become subject to a debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA) could further affect the value of these securities, resulting in losses to the Corporation. 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 debt securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis.

[1] Loans HIP of $194 million accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 are excluded from the above table 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 analysis.

    

[1]

Loans included as 90 days or more past due include loans that that are not delinquent in their payment terms but that are reported as non-performing due to other credit quality considerations. As part of the adoption of CECL, at January 1, 2020, the Corporation reclassified to this category $134 million of acquired loans with credit deterioration that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and were excluded from non-performing status. In addition, as part of the CECL transition, an additional $125 million of loans that were 90 days or more past due previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and excluded from non-performing status are now included as non-performing.

[1]   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.

[2]

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 Popular U.S. segment.

[3]

Loans included as 90 days or more past due include loans that that are not delinquent in their payment terms but that are reported as non-performing due to other credit quality considerations. As part of the adoption of CECL, at January 1, 2020, the Corporation reclassified to this category $134 million of acquired loans with credit deterioration that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and were excluded from non-performing status. In addition, as part of the CECL transition, an additional $144 million of loans that were 90 days or more past due previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and excluded from non-performing status are now included as non-performing.

[4]

Loans held-in-portfolio are net of $161$ 186 million in unearned income and exclude $44$ 88 million in loansheld-for-sale.

[4]   5]

Includes $6.6$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 $4.6 billion were pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”("FHLB") as collateral for borrowings and $2.0$2.7 billion at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”("FRB") for discount window borrowings.

[5]   Loans HIP of $257 million accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 are excluded from the above table 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 analysis.

[1]

[1]   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.

[2]

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 Popular U.S. segment.

[3]

Loansheld-in-portfolio are net of $156$ 181 million in unearned income and exclude $51$ 59 million in loansheld-for-sale.

[4]

Includes $6.9$6.7 billion pledged to secure credit facilities and public funds that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $4.8$4.6 billion were pledged at the FHLB as collateral for borrowings and $2.1 billion at the FRB for discount window borrowings.

[5]   Non-covered loans

Loans HIP of $216$153 million accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30 are excluded from the above table as they are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method, in which these loans willwould accrete interest income over the remaining life of the loans using estimated cash flow analysis.

At March 31, 2019,2020, mortgage loansheld-in-portfolio include $1.4 billion of loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) of which $535$450 million are 90 days or more past due, including $106$111 million of loans rebooked under the GNMA buyback option, discussed below (December 31, 20182019 - $1.4 billion, $598$441 million and $134$103 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$222 million of residential mortgage loans in Puerto Rico that are no longer accruing interest as of March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $283$213 million). Additionally, the Corporation has approximately $67$62 million in reverse mortgage loans in Puerto Rico which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest at March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $69$65 million).

Loans with a delinquency status of 90 days past due as of March 31, 20192020 include $106$111 million in loans previously pooled into GNMA securities (December 31, 20182019 - $134$103 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.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of non-accrual loans as of March 31, 2020 by class of loans and the related interest income recognized on these loans for the quarter-ended:

Loans in non-accrual status with no allowance include $242 million in collateral dependent loans.

The Corporation has designated loans classified as collateral dependent for which it applies the practical expedient to measure the ACL based on the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, when the repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the sale or operation of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals, which may be adjusted due to their age, and the type, location, and condition of the property or area or general market conditions to reflect the expected change in value between the effective date of the appraisal and the measurement date. Appraisals are updated every one to two years depending on the type of loan and the total exposure of the borrower.

The following table present the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class of loans and type of collateral as of March 31, 2020:

Note 9 – Allowance for loancredit losses – loans held-in-portfolio

TheCorporation follows a systematic methodologythe current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, to establish and evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loancredit losses (“ALLL”ACL”) to provide for inherent losses in the loan portfolio. This model establishes a forward-looking methodology includesthat reflects the considerationexpected credit losses over the lives of factorsfinancial assets, starting when such assets are first acquired. In addition, CECL provides that the initial allowance for credit losses on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets will be recorded as current economic conditions, portfolio risk characteristics, prioran increase to the purchase price, with subsequent changes to the allowance recorded as a credit loss experience and results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans.expense. The provision for loancredit losses charged to current operations is based on this methodology. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ALLL.

The Corporation’s assessmentACL. Refer to Note 4 - Summary of significant accounting policies, for a description of the ALLL 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 ALLL 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 of the general 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 March 31, 2019, 41% (March 31, 2018 - 45%) of the ALLL for 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 and auto loans portfolios for 2018.

For the period ended March 31, 2019, 23% (March 31, 2018 - 5%) of the 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 portfolio for 2019 and 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 ALLL. The Corporation’s methodology also includes qualitative judgmental reserves based on stressed credit quality assumptions to provide for probable losses inestimate the loan portfolios not embedded in the historical loss rates.ACL.

The following tables present the changes in the allowance for loancredit losses, and 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, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Modifications

A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. For a summary of the accounting policy related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 to the 20182019 Form10-K.

The outstanding balance of loans classified as TDRs amounted to $1.5$ 1.6 billion at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $1.5$ 1.6 billion). The amount of outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs amounted to $12 million related to the commercial loan portfolio at March 31, 2019 2020 (December 31, 20182019 - $16$14 million).

At March 31, 2019,2020, the mortgage loan TDRs include $570$639 million guaranteed by U.S. sponsored entities at BPPR, compared to $543$625 million at December 31, 2018.2019.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation has entered into loan modifications with eligible customers in mortgage, consumer loans, credit cards, auto loans and leases and certain commercial credit facilities, comprised mainly of payment deferrals of up to six months, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly has also enacted legislation requiring financial institutions to offer to clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic moratoriums on consumer financial products through June 2020. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), signed by the President of the United States as part of an economic stimulus package, provided relief related to U.S. GAAP requirements for loan modifications related to COVID-19 relief measures. In addition, the Federal Reserve, along with other U.S. banking regulators, also issued interagency guidance to financial institutions that offers some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. According to the interagency guidance, COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to consumer or commercial loans that were current as of the date of the loan modification are not TDRs, since financial institutions may conclude that the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties. In addition, a modification or deferral program that is mandated by the federal government or a state government (e.g., a state program that requires all institutions within that state to suspend mortgage payments for a specified period) does not represent a TDR.

In accordance with the guidance in the CARES Act and interagency regulatory guidance, the loan modifications completed by the Corporation as part of the COVID-19 relief measures have not been treated as TDRs. Furthermore, these loan modifications do not affect the asset quality measures as the deferred payments are not deemed to be delinquent and the Corporation continues to accrue interest on these loans.

At March 31, 2020, the Corporation had completed 6,304 modifications for residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $832 million and 3,798 modifications for credit cards with an unpaid principal balance of $22 million in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table presents the outstanding balance of loans classified as TDRs according to their accruing status and the related allowance at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

The following tables present, by class, TDRs that were subject to payment default and that had been modified as a TDR during the twelve months preceding the default date. Payment default is defined as a restructured loan becoming 90 days past due after being modified, foreclosed orcharged-off, whichever occurs first. The recorded investment as of period endis inclusive of all partial paydowns and charge-offs since the modification date. Loans modified as a TDR that were fully paid down,charged-off or foreclosed upon by period end are not reported.

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 loancredit losses may be increased or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan.

Credit Quality

The risk rating system provides for the assignment of ratings at the obligor level based on the financial condition of the borrower. The risk rating analysis process is performed at least once a year or more frequently if events or conditions change which may deteriorate the credit quality. In the case of consumer and mortgage loans, these loans are classified considering their delinquency status at the end of the reporting period.

The following table presents the outstanding balance,amortized cost basis, net of unearned income, of loansheld-in-portfolio based on the Corporation’s assignment of obligor risk ratings as defined at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.2020 by vintage year. For the definitions of the obligor risk ratings, refer to

44


the Credit Quality section of Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation’s Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Note 10 – FDIC loss-share assetcredit losses, loan ending balances 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 whether such loans and other real estate owned. Pursuantthe allowance pertained to the terms of the loss-share arrangements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse BPPRloans individually or collectively evaluated for losses with respect to covered assets began with the first dollar of loss incurred. The FDIC reimbursed BPPR for 80% of losses with respect to covered assets, and BPPR reimbursed the FDIC for 80% of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid reimbursement under loss-share arrangements. The loss-share component of the arrangements applicable to commercial (including construction) and consumer loans expired during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 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 in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

As of March 31, 2018, the Corporation had an FDIC loss share asset of $ 44.5 million related to the covered assets. As part of the loss-share agreements, BPPR had agreed to make atrue-up payment to the FDIC 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 at March 31, 2018 was approximately $ 171 million and was included as a contingent consideration within the caption of other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of 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 terms of the Termination Agreement, BPPR made a payment of approximately $ 23.7 million (the “Termination Payment”) to the FDIC as consideration for the termination of the loss-share agreements. Popular recorded a gain of $ 102.8 million within the FDIC loss share income (expense) caption in the Consolidated Statements of Operations calculated based on the difference between the Termination Payment and the net amount of thetrue-up payment obligation and the FDIC loss share asset.

Note 1110 – 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 1211 – 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 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of such arrangements.

No liabilities were incurred as a result of these securitizations during the quarters ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 because they did not contain any credit recourse arrangements. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation recorded a net gain of $3.7$3.8 million (March 31, 20182019 - $1.0$3.7 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, 20192020 and 2018:2019:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation retained servicing rights on whole loan sales involving approximately $11.9$10.0 million in principal balance outstanding (March 31, 20182019 - $10.0$11.9 million), with realized gains of approximately $0.4$0.2 million (March 31, 20182019 - gains of $0.1$0.4 million). All loan sales performed during the quarters ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 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 (“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 quarters ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $15.5$14.3 billion at March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $15.7$14.8 billion).

Net mortgage servicing fees, a component of mortgage banking activities in the Consolidated Statements of 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 credited to income when they are collected. At March 31, 2019,2020, those weighted average mortgage servicing fees were 0.29%0.30% (March 31, 20182019 - 0.30%0.29%). 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, 20192020 and 20182019 were as follows:

The sensitivity analyses presented in the table 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

59


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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation serviced $1.3$1.1 billion (December 31, 20182019 - $1.3$1.2 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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had recorded $106$111 million in mortgage loans on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition related to thisbuy-back option program (December 31, 20182019 - $134$103 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 quarter months ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation repurchased approximately $34$22 million (March 31, 20182019 - $85$34 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, the risk associated with the loans is 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.

Interim Goodwill Impairment Test

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.

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 amounts

Due to the effects of the current and projected interest rate environment and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the valuation of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Corporation deemed these factors as a triggering event which required management to perform an interim goodwill impairment test.

As discussed in Note 3, “New accounting pronouncements”, effective on January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the two-step goodwill impairment test under the previous guidance. Accordingly, if the carrying amount of any of the reporting units exceeds its fair value, the Corporation would be required to record an impairment charge for the difference up to the amount of the goodwill.

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. For purposes of the interim triggering event evaluation, management also considered the results of the fair value of the

63


reporting units without considering the comparable transaction approach as there is limited information of comparable transactions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 acquisitions;

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 companies’ 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. Comparable companies’ price multiples represent minority-based multiples and thus, a control premium adjustment is added to the comparable companies’ market multiples applied to the reporting unit’s value drivers. For purposes of the market comparable transactions’ approach, valuations were determined by calculating average price multiples of relevant value drivers from a group of transactions for which the target companies are comparable to the reporting unit being analyzed and applying those price multiples to the value drivers of the reporting unit. Comparable transactions’ price multiples represent controlling based multiples and thus, no control premium adjustment is made to the comparable transactions’ market multiples applied to the reporting unit’s value drivers. 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 comparable companies and transactions 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 Ibbotson Build-Up Method and ranged from 10.27% to11.01% for the March 2020 analysis. The Ibbotson Build-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.

The results of BPPR interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020 indicated that the average estimated fair value using all valuation methodologies exceeded BPPR’s equity value by approximately $761 million or 25% compared to $1.2 billion or 37%, for the annual goodwill impairment test completed as of July 31, 2019. The fair value conclusion for BPPR considers the comparable transactions approach. If the comparable transactions approach is not considered, as those transactions occurred prior to COVID-19, the average estimated fair value exceeded BPPR’s equity value by approximately $589 million or 19%. Accordingly, there was 0 impairment on goodwill recorded in BPPR at March 31, 2020. PB’s interim goodwill impairment test results as of such dates indicated that the average estimated fair value using all valuation methodologies exceeded PB’s equity value by approximately $85 million or 5%, compared to $338 million or 21%, for the annual goodwill impairment test completed as of July 31, 2019. The fair value conclusion for PB considers the comparable transactions approach. If the comparable transactions approach is not considered, as those transactions occurred prior to COVID-19, the average estimated fair value exceeded PB’s equity value by approximately $26 million or 2%. Accordingly, there was 0 impairment on goodwill recorded in PB at March 31, 2020. The goodwill balance of BPPR and PB, as legal entities, represented approximately 91% of the Corporation’s total goodwill balance as of the March 31, 2020 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 the Corporation concluding that the fair value results determined for the reporting units in the March 31, 2020 interim 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

64


goodwill is recorded. Declines in the Corporation’s market capitalization and adverse economic conditions sustained over a longer period of time negatively affecting forecasted cash flows could increase the risk of goodwill impairment in the future.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the operations of our clients, customers, service providers and suppliers, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response thereto. A further decline in the Corporation’s stock price related to global and/or regional macroeconomic conditions, the continued weakness in the Puerto Rico economy and fiscal situation, reduced future earnings estimates, additional expenses and higher credit losses, and the continuance of the current interest rate environment could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on the determination of the fair value of our reporting units, which could in turn result in an impairment of goodwill in the future. An impairment of goodwill would result in a non-cash expense, net of tax impact. A charge to earnings related to a goodwill impairment would not impact regulatory capital calculations.

Note 18 – Stockholders’ equity

As of March 31, 2019,2020, stockholder’s equity totaled $5.4$5.7 billion. During the quarter months ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation declared cash dividends of $0.30 (2018$0.40 (2019 - $0.25 )$0.30) per common share outstanding amounting to $29.0$35.5 million (2018(2019 - $25.5$29.0 million). The quarterly dividend declared to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 8, 2019,February 28, 2020 was paid on April 1, 2019.2020.

On February 28,

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Corporation entered into a $250 million accelerated share repurchase transaction (“ASR”) and, in connection therewith, received an initial delivery of 3,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Shares”), which was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. As a result of the receipt of the Initial Shares, the Corporation recognized in shareholders’ equity approximately $200 million in treasury stock and $50 million as a reduction of capital surplus. The Corporation completed this transaction during the fourth quarter of 2019 and received 1,165,607 additional shares of common stock. The final number of shares delivered at settlement was based on the average daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of its common stock, net of a discount, during the term of the ASR of $53.58.

On January 30, 2020, the Corporation entered into a $500 million “ASR” transaction with respect to its common stock, which was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. As a result of the receipt of the initial 7,055,919 shares, the Corporation recognized in shareholders’shareholder’s equity approximately $200$400 million in treasury stock and $50$100 million as a reduction in capital surplus. The Corporation expects to further adjust its treasury stock and capital surplus accounts to reflectASR provided that the delivery or receiptfinal number of cash or shares upon the termination of the ASR agreement, which will dependdelivered at settlement would be based on the average daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Corporation’s sharescommon stock, net of a discount, during the term of the ASR. As a result of the recent decrease in the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock during the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 19, 2020, the dealer counterparty to the ASR exercised its right to terminate the ASR as a result of the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock falling below a specified level. The agreement executed in connection with such termination (the “Termination Agreement”) provides for the acceleration of the final settlement of the ASR, which was originally expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2020. Under the settlement resulting from the Termination Agreement, the Corporation will receive a further number of shares of common stock, equivalent to approximately $167 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Corporation had received 642,400 additional shares after the early termination of the ASR. In connection with such receipt, the Corporation recorded approximately $23 million as treasury stock and recognized that amount as an increase in capital surplus.

On February 24, 2020, the Corporation redeemed all outstanding shares of its 8.25% Non-Cumulative Monthly Income Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock was redeemed at the redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus $0.1375 in accrued and unpaid dividends on each share, for a total payment per share in the amount of $25.1375 and a total aggregate payment of $28.2 million.

Note 20 – Guarantees

At March 31, 20192020 the Corporation recorded a liability of $0.5$0.2 million (December 31, 20182019 - $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 March 31, 20192020 the Corporation serviced $1.3$1.1 billion (December 31, 20182019 - $1.3$1.2 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 ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation repurchased approximately $8 million of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions (March(March 31, 20182019-$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 March 31, 20192020 the Corporation’s liability established to cover the estimated credit loss exposure related to loans sold or serviced with credit recourse amounted to $52$32 million (December 31, 20182019 - $ 56$35 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, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

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 quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Corporation did not repurchaseThere were 0 repurchases of loans under representation and warranty arrangements (Marchduring the quarters ended March 31, 2018 - $9 million).2020 and 2019. A substantial amount of these loans reinstates 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, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation serviced $15.5$14.3 billion in mortgage loans for third-parties, including the loans serviced with credit recourse (December 31,

2018 2019 - $15.7$14.8 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 incomeincome with respect to that loan. At March 31, 2019,2020, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Corporation under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $94$84 million (December 31, 20182019 - $88$78 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 additionaladditional 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-owned100% owned consolidated subsidiaries amounting to $94 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. In addition, at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, PIHC fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis $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 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 20182019 Form10-K for further information on the trust preferred securities.

Note 21 – 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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Corporation maintained a reserve of approximately $8$4 million and $9 million, respectively, for potential losses associated with unfunded loan commitments related to commercial and consumer lines of credit.

Other commitments

At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Corporation’s also maintained other non-credit commitments for approximately $2.1 million and $2.5 million,primarily for the acquisition of other investments.

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 3433 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Puerto Rico remains in the midst of a profound fiscal and economic crisis. In response to such crisis, the U.S. Congress enacted the Puerto Rico Oversight Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) in 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 instrumentalities and municipalities. The Commonwealth and several of its instrumentalities have commenced debt restructuring proceedings under PROMESA. As of the date of this report, while municipalities have been recently designated as covered entities under PROMESA, no municipality has commenced, or has been authorized by the Oversight Board to commence, any such debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA.

At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities totaled $455$428 million and $458$432 million, respectively, which amounts were fully outstanding on such dates. Of this amount, $413$391 million consists of loans and $42$37 million are securities ($413391 million and $45$ 41 million at December 31, 2018)2019). Substantially all of the amount outstanding at March 31, 20192020 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. At March 31, 2019,2020, 75% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities was concentrated in the municipalities of San Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Bayamón. On July 1, 2019 the Corporation received principal payments amounting to $22 million from various obligations from Puerto Rico municipalities.

In addition, at March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had $365$339 million in loans insured or securities issued by Puerto Rico governmental entities but for which the principal source of repayment isnon-governmental ($368350 million at December 31, 2018)2019). These included $290$273 million in residential mortgage loans insured by the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (“HFA”), a governmental instrumentality that has been designated as a covered entity under PROMESA (December 31, 20182019 - $293$276 million). These mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA insurance covers losses in the event of a borrower default and subsequent foreclosureupon the satisfaction of the underlying property.certain other conditions. The Corporation also had at March 31, 2019,2020, $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 foreclosureupon the satisfaction of the underlying propertycertain other conditions (December 31, 20182019 - $45$46 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, hethe Governor has not exercised this power as of the date hereof. In addition, at March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had $7 million in securities issued by HFA that have been economically defeased and refunded and for which securities consisting of U.S. agencies and Treasury obligations have been escrowed (December 31, 2018 - $7 million), and $23$21 million of commercial real estate notes issued by government entities but that are payable from rent paid bynon-governmental parties (December 31, 20182019 - $23$21 million). On January 1, 2020, the Corporation received a payment amounting to $7 million upon the maturity of securities issued by HFA which had been economically defeased and refunded and for which securities consisting of U.S. agencies and Treasury obligations had been escrowed (December 31, 2019 - $7 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 $75$69 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.

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 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 ranged from $0 to approximately $31.5$27.2 million as of March 31, 2019.2020. 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 from time-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 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, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position for that particular period.

Set forth below is a description of the Corporation’s significant 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 captioned 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 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 motion for dismissal on the merits whichfiled by the Defendant Insurance Companies filed shortly before hearing, was denied with a right to replead following limited targeted discovery. TheEach of the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals and then the Puerto Rico Supreme Court both denied the Popular Defendants’ request to review the lower court’s denial of the motion to dismiss. In December 2017, plaintiffs sought to amendamended the complaint, and, onin January 2018, defendants filed an answer thereto. Separately, in October 2017, the Court entered an order whereby it broadly certified the class, after which the Popular Defendants filed a certiorari petition before the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals in relation to the class certification, which the Court declined to entertain. In November 2018 and in January 2019, Plaintiffsplaintiffs filed voluntary dismissal petitions against MAPFRE-PRAICO Insurance Company and Antilles Insurance Company, respectively. Hence, nowrespectively, leaving the Popular Defendants remainas the sole remaining defendants in the action.

In April 2019, the Court amended the class definition to limit it to individual homeowners whose residential units were subject to a mortgage from BPPR who, in turn, obtained risk insurance policies with Antilles Insurance or MAPFRE Insurance through Popular Insurance from 2002 to 2015, and who did not make insurance claims against said policies during their effective term. The Court had set May 1, 2020 as the deadline to complete discovery, but this action.

A status conference was held in March 2019, where, among other things, plaintiffs stated that they sought to make changesdeadline has been continued due to the certified class that seek to better defineeffects of COVID-19 pandemic. The Court also had scheduled a pre-trial hearing and tentative trial dates for the sizesecond half of the class as well as the scope of the remedies sought by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs submitted their proposed changes2020, but those dates may also be continued due to the class on April 8, 2019, which were timely opposed by Popular. A status and settlement conference is set for October 22, 2019.same reason.

BPPR has separately been named a defendant in a putative class action complaint captioned Ramirez Torres, et al. v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, et al, filed before the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance, San Juan 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 monopolistic practices in failing to offer this product). Between late March and early April ofIn July 2017, after co-defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint and opposed the request for preliminary injunctive relief. A co-defendant filed a third-party Complaint against Antilles Insurance Company. A preliminary injunction and class certification hearing originally scheduled for April 6, 2017 was subsequently postponed, pending resolution of the motions to dismiss. In July 2017,relief, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. In August 2017, plaintiffs appealed this judgment, 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 theThe Puerto Rico Supreme Court which denied review. On May 2,In August 2019, the Popular Defendants and plaintiffs filed a Joint Motion where they informed the Court that plaintiffs were simultaneously filing voluntary dismissals with prejudice against all other parties. In September 2019, a status hearing was held where plaintiffs and the Popular Defendants informed the Court that the parties were in the process of stipulating a class for settlement purposes. The Court of First Instance,held a hearing on April 24, 2020 where it preliminarily approved the parties requested that the Court first determine the validityterms of the endorsement obtained by Antilles Insurance Companyproposed class settlement. Notices to the proposed class for settlement purposes were published on April 28 and approved by the Puerto Rico Insurance Commissioner, which was challenged by the co-defendant in the third-party complaint.May 5, 2020. The Court agreedset a hearing for June 28, 2020 to first rule onconsider the validityfinal approval of the endorsement and set an injunction hearing for September 2019 in case the validity of said endorsement is upheld.proposed class settlement.

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 maintain 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 (or dual tracking). Plaintiffs assert that such actions violate the 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 the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”). For the alleged violations stated above, plaintiffs request that all defendants (over 20, including all local banks), be held jointly and severally liable in an amount no less than $400 million. BPPR waived service of process in June 2017 and filed a motion to dismiss in August 2017, as did most co-defendants. Onco-defendants, and, in 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, theThe Court of Appeals has entered an order where it consolidated three pending appeals related to the same subset of facts. Thus, the briefsPlaintiffs filed by the Appellants were vacated and the Clerk oftheir appellate brief in August 2019, but in September 2019, the Court has yetof Appeals ordered plaintiffs to setsubmit a new briefing schedule.brief for the consolidated appeals that complied with the applicable appellate procedural rules. In October 2019, plaintiffs filed a revised brief and in November 2019, defendants filed their appellate brief, along with a motion to dismiss the appeal due to plaintiffs’ repeated failure to comply with the Circuit Court’s rules and orders. The appeal is now fully briefed and pending resolution.

BPPR has also been named a defendant in another putative class action captioned Yiries Josef Saad Maura v. Banco Popular, et al., filed by the same counsel who filed the González Camacho action referenced above, on behalf of residential customers of the defendant banks who have allegedly been subject to illegal foreclosures and/or loan modifications through their mortgage servicers. As 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, 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-protectionconsumer-

protection laws and regulations. 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. OnIn April 5, 2019, the Court entered an Opinion and Order granting BPPR’s and several other defendants’ motions to dismiss with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration onin April 15, 2019, which Popular timely opposedopposed. In September 2019, the Court issued an Amended Opinion and Order dismissing plaintiffs’ claims against all defendants, denying the reconsideration requests and other pending motions, and issuing final judgment. In October 2019, plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s Amended Opinion and Order, which remains pending.

was denied in December 2019. On January 13, 2020, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Appellants’ brief is due on June 8, 2020 and Appellee’s brief is due 30 days thereafter.

BPPR has been named a defendant in a complaint for damages and breach of contract captioned Héctor Robles Rodriguez et al. v. Municipio de Ceiba, et 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 this development and is currently the primary mortgage lender in the project. Plaintiffs claim damages against the developer, contractor, the relevant insurance companies, and most recently, their mortgage lenders, because 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 $30 million in damages plus attorney’s fees, costs and the annulment of their mortgages. BPPR extended plaintiffs four consecutive six-month payment forbearances, the last of which is still in effect, and it is engaged in settlement discussions with plaintiffs.effect. 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. OnIn October 18, 2018, the Court granted the FDIC’s motion to stay the proceedings until plaintiffs have exhausted administrative remedies.

Mortgage-Related Investigations

The Corporationremedies and, its subsidiaries from timethereafter, the FDIC filed a motion to time receive requestsdismiss all claims for information from departmentslack of subject matter jurisdiction due to plaintiffs’ failure to properly make any applicable administrative claims. Such motion was referred to a Magistrate Judge, which in May 2019 recommended that the motion be granted and all claims against the FDIC be dismissed. On September 30, 2019, the District Judge issued an order where she adopted the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge granting the FDIC’s Motion to Dismiss and remanding the remaining claims related to mortgage loans not acquired from Doral (approximately eight loans) to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s Court of First Instance. On March 19, 2020, the District Judge issued an Opinion and Order and a Judgment dismissing the case, consistent with the September 2019 order. On April 15, 2020, several plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. government that investigate mortgage-related conduct. In particular, BPPRCourt of Appeals for the First Circuit. Although the parties have reached a settlement in principle, the completion of documentation related thereto has received subpoenas and other requests for information from the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Officebeen delayed because of the Inspector General,COVID-19 pandemic.

Insufficient Funds and Overdraft Fees Class Actions

On February 7, 2020, BPPR was served with a putative class action complaint captioned Soto-Melendez vs. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, filed before the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, the Special Inspector GeneralUnited States District Court for the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the Federal DepartmentDistrict 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 requestscomplaint alleges breach of contract due to BPPR’s purported practice of (a) assessing more than one insufficient funds fee (“NSF Fees”) on the same “item” or transaction and (b) charging both NSF Fees and overdraft fees (“OD Fees”) on the same item or transaction, and is filed on behalf of all persons who during the applicable statute of limitations period were charged NSF Fees and/or OD Fees pursuant to this purported practices. On April 10, 2020, BPPR filed a Motion to Dismiss in discussions regarding the resolution of such matters. There can be no assurances ascase, which was opposed by plaintiffs on April 24, 2020. BPPR expects to reply to the outcomeopposition on or before May 12, 2020.

Popular recently received notice of those discussions.

Separately, in July 2017, management learned that certain letters generated bya putative class action complaint captioned Golden vs. Popular, Inc. filed on March 25, 2020 before the Corporation to comply with BureauU.S. District Court for the Southern District of Consumer Financial Protection (“CFPB”) rules requiring written notification to borrowers who have submitted a loss mitigation application were not mailed to borrowers over a periodNew York, seeking damages, restitution and injunctive relief. Plaintiff alleges breach of up to approximately three-yearscontract, violation of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and violation of New York consumer protection law due to a systems interface error. Loss mitigation is a process whereby creditors workPopular’s purported practice of charging OD Fees on transactions that, under plaintiffs’ theory, do not overdraw the account. Plaintiff describes Popular’s purported practice of charging OD Fees as “Authorize Positive, Purportedly Settle Negative Transactions” (“APPSN”) and states that Popular assesses OD Fees over authorized transactions for which sufficient funds are held for settlement. Popular has not been served in connection 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.this case.

The Corporation notified applicable regulators and conducted a review of its mortgage files to assess the scope of potential customer impact. The review found that while the mailing error extended to approximately 23,000 residential mortgage loans (approximately 50% of which are serviced by the Corporation for third parties), the number of borrowers actually harmed by the mailing error was substantially lower. This was due to, among other things, 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. 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 respect to other printing and mailings incidents and other servicing matters in its mortgage servicing operation.

The Corporation is engaged in ongoing dialogue with applicable regulators with respect to the aforementioned mortgage servicing matters and there can be no assurances as to the outcome thereof. At this point, we are not able to estimate the financial impact of the foregoing.

Other Significant Proceedings

79


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 debtorsInvoluntary 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 to determine the merits of debtors’ motion to dismiss.

On November 30, 2018,After 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;held hearings in June 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 is set for June 27 and 28,July 2019 to consider whether the involuntary petitions were filed in bad faith, that is, for an improper purpose that constitutes an abuse of the bankruptcy process.process in October 2019, the Court entered an Opinion and Order determining that the involuntary petitions were not filed in bad faith and issued an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code granting the involuntary petitions. In October 2019, the debtors filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. District Court. Debtors’ filed their appellate briefs in April 2020, and Lenders’ appellate briefs are due on or before May 11, 2020.

On February 11, 2020, the Debtors initiated an adversary proceeding seeking in excess of $80 million in damages, alleging that in 2016 the Lenders illegally foreclosed on their accounts receivable and as a result illegally interfered with contracts entered with third parties, forcing the Debtors into bankruptcy. Debtors further seek a judgment declaring that Lenders do not possess security interests over certain personal property of the Debtors because either such security interests were not adequately perfected according to Puerto Rico law, or the security interests were lost upon the lapsing date of the financing statements that the Lenders had originally perfected in connection with such interests. On February 25, 2020, Debtors amended their adversary complaint to include references to the Lenders’ Syndicate and Banco Popular’s proof of claims, formally object to such proof of claims, as well as to demand that the District Court, not the Bankruptcy Court, entertains the complaint, requesting trial by jury on all counts. Lenders expect to file a Motion to Dismiss on or before May 13, 2020.

POPULAR BANK

Employment-Related Litigation

In July 2019, Popular Bank (“PB”) was served in a putative class complaint in which it was named as a defendant along with five (5) current PB employees (collectively, the “AB Defendants”), captioned Aileen Betances, et al. v. Popular Bank, et al., filed before the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “AB Action”). The complaint, filed by five (5) current and former PB employees, seeks to recover damages for the AB Defendants' alleged violation of local and state sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation laws. Additionally, in July 2019, PB was served in a putative class complaint in which it was named as a defendant along with six (6) current PB employees (collectively, the “DR Defendants”), captioned Damian Reyes, et al. v. Popular Bank, et al., filed before the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “DR Action”). The DR Action, filed by three (3) current and former PB employees, seeks to recover damages for the DR Defendants’ alleged violation of local and state discrimination and retaliation laws. Plaintiffs in both complaints are represented by the same legal counsel, and five of the six named individual defendants in the DR Action are the same named individual defendants in the AB Action. Both complaints are related, among other things, to allegations of purported sexual harassment and/or misconduct by a former PB employee as well as PB’s actions in connection thereto and seek no less than $100 million in damages each. On October 21, 2019, PB and the other defendants filed several Motions to Dismiss. Plaintiffs opposed the motions in December 2019 and PB and the other defendants replied on January 22, 2020. Although the Court set a hearing on the Motions to Dismiss in both cases for March 16, 2020, that hearing was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has not been rescheduled. The Motions to Dismiss are still pending resolution.

POPULAR SECURITIES

Puerto Rico Bonds andClosed-End Investment Funds

The volatility in prices and declines in value that Puerto Rico municipal bonds and closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto Rico municipal bonds have experienced since August 2013 have led to regulatory inquiries, customer complaints

80


and arbitrations for most broker-dealers in Puerto Rico, including Popular Securities. Popular Securities has received customer complaints and, as of March 31, 2020, is named as a respondent (among other broker-dealers) in 169165 pending arbitration proceedings with aggregate claimed amounts of approximately $201$223 million, including one1 arbitration with claimed damages of approximately $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 certain claims rather than expend the money and resources required to see such cases to completion. The Puerto Rico Government’s defaults and non-payment of its various debt obligations, as well as the Commonwealth’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 and closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto Rico bonds. An adverse result in the arbitration proceedings described above, or a significant increase in customer complaints, could have a material adverse effect on Popular.

PROMESA Title III Proceedings

In 2017, the Oversight Board engaged the law firm of Kobre & Kim to carry out an independent investigation on behalf of the Oversight Board regarding, among other things, the causes of the Puerto Rico financial crisis. Popular, Inc., BPPR and Popular Securities (collectively, the “Popular Companies”) were served by, and cooperated with, the Oversight Board in connection with requests for the preservation and voluntary production of certain documents and 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 the Commonwealth’s 2014 issuance of government obligation bonds notwithstanding having allegedly advised against it. The report discussednoted 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, theThe Popular Companies, the SCC and the UCC have entered into a tolling agreement with respect to potential claims the SCC and the UCC, on behalf of the 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 a result of any role of the Popular Companies in the offering of the aforementioned challenged bond issuances.

Note 22 –Non-consolidated variable interest entities

The Corporation is involved with three3 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 and agency collateralized mortgage obligations issued by third party VIEs in which it has no other form of continuing involvement. Refer to Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the debt securities outstanding at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, which are classified asavailable-for-sale and trading securities in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of 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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

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 $10.4$9.8 billion at March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $10.6$9.9 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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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 September of 2011, BPPR sold construction and commercial real estate loans to a newly created joint venture, PRLP 2011 Holdings, LLC. 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.

These joint ventures were created for the limited purpose of acquiring the loans from BPPR; servicing the loans through a third-party servicer; ultimately working out, resolving and/or foreclosing the loans; and indirectly owning, operating, constructing, developing, leasing and selling any real properties acquired by the joint ventures through deed in lieu of foreclosure, foreclosure, or by resolution of any loan.

BPPR provided financing to these entities for the acquisition of the assets. In addition, BPPR provided these joint ventures with anon-revolving advance facility to cover unfunded commitments andcosts-to-complete related to certain construction projects, and a revolving working capital line to fund certain operating expenses of the joint venture. As part of these transactions, BPPR received $ 48 million and $92 million, for PRLP 2011 Holdings, LLC and PR Asset Portfolio2013-1 International, LLC, respectively, in cash and a 24.9% equity interest in each joint venture. The Corporation is not required to provide any other financial support to these joint ventures. BPPR accounted for both transactions as a true sale pursuant to ASC Subtopic860-10.

The Corporation determined that PRLP 2011 Holdings, LLC and PR Asset Portfolio2013-1 International, LLC are VIEs but it is not the primary beneficiary. 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. All financing facilities extended by BPPR to these joint ventures have been repaid in full. The Corporation maintains a variable interests in these VIEs in the form of the 24.9% equity interest. The equity interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting pursuant to ASC Subtopic323-10.

The following tables present the carrying amount and classification of the assets and liabilities related to the Corporation’s variable interests in thenon-consolidated VIEs, PRLP 2011 Holdings, LLC and PR Asset Portfolio2013-1 International, LLC, and their maximum exposure to loss at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

The Corporation determined that the maximum exposure to loss under a worst case scenario at March 31, 2019 would be not recovering the net assets held by the Corporation as of the reporting date.

ASU2009-17 requires that an ongoing primary beneficiary assessment should be made to determine whether the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of any of the VIEs it is involved with. The conclusion on the assessment of thesenon-consolidated VIEs has not changed since their initial evaluation. The Corporation concluded that it is still not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore, these VIEs are not required to be consolidated in the Corporation’s financial statements at March 31, 2019.2020.

Note 24 – 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 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 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.

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 20182019 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.

Fair Value on a Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and interest-onlycollateralized mortgage obligation (reported as “other”), which are classified in the “trading” category, are yield, constant prepayment rate, andweighted average life. SignificantSignificant 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.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.

Note 25 – 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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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.

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.

As disclosed in Note 18, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019,on January 30, 2020, the Corporation entered into a $250 millionan accelerated share repurchase transaction (“ASR”) of $500 million with respect to its common stock, and, in connection therewith, received an initial delivery of 3,500,0007,055,919 shares of common stock. The initial share delivery was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. As parta result of this transaction,the recent decrease in the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock during the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 19, 2020, the dealer counterparty to the ASR exercised its right to terminate the ASR as a result of the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock falling below a specified level. The Termination Agreement executed in connection with such termination provides for the acceleration of the final settlement of the ASR, which was originally expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2020. Under the settlement resulting from the Termination Agreement of the ASR due to the decrease in share price resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation entered intowill receive a forward contract, which remains outstanding asfurther number of shares of common stock, equivalent to approximately $167 million. As of March 31, 2019, for which2020, the Corporation expects to receivehad received 642,400 additional shares uponafter the early termination of the ASR agreement.ASR. The diluted EPS computation for the quarter ended March 31, 20192020 excludes 1,268,890 antidilutive shares related4,228,622 to be received under the ASR.ASR since their effect would be antidilutive.

For the quarters ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Corporation calculated the impact of potential dilutive common shares under the treasury stock method, consistent with the method used for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. For a discussion of the calculation under the treasury stock method, refer to Note 3233 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 20182019 Form10-K.

The amounts include intersegment transactions of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

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 are 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

97


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 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 – Leases

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 0.10.2 to 34.8 years33.8years considers options to extend the leases for up to 10.120.0 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 assets and other liabilities, respectively. At March 31, 2019, ROURefer to Note 13 and Note 17, respectively, for information on the balances of these lease 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.liabilities.

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 leases. The discount rates are based on fixed-rate and fully amortizing borrowing facilities of its 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 –30 - Stock-based compensation

In April 2004, the Corporation’s shareholders adopted theThe Popular, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan permits the grantingissuance of incentive awards inseveral types of stock based compensation for employees and directors of the formCorporation and/or any of Annual Incentive Awards, Long-term Performance Unit Awards, Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Units or Performance Shares.its subsidiaries. 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 sharesstocks and performance shares whichfor its employees and restricted stocks and restricted stock units (“RSU”), to its directors.

The restricted stocks for employees will 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.service (“the retirement vesting portion”). The five-yeargraduated vesting partportion 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 partgraduated vesting portion is vested ratably over four years commencing at the date of the grant and the second partretirement vesting portion 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 four yeargraduated vesting partportion 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 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. For grants issued on 2020 and thereafter, the EPS goal is substituted by the Absolute Return on Average Assets (“ROA”) goal. 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 metric isand ROA metrics are considered to be a performance condition under ASC 718. The fair value is determined based on the probability of achieving the EPS or ROA goal as of each reporting period. The TSR and EPS or ROA 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)(EPS and ROA) conditions. The performance shares vest at the end of the three-year performance cycle. If 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, the performance shares shall continue outstanding and vest at the end of the performance cycle.

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

Effective on May 2019, all equity awards granted to the directors may be paid in either restricted stocks or RSU, at the directors’ election. For the year 2019, all directors elected RSU. The directors’ equity awards will vest and become non-forfeitable on the grant date of such award. At the director’s option, the shares of common stocks underlying the RSU award shall be delivered to the director after its retirement, either on a fix date or in annual installments. To the extent that cash dividends are paid on the Corporation’s outstanding common stocks, the director will receive an additional number of RSU that reflect reinvested dividend equivalent.

The net deferred tax asset shown in the table above at March 31, 20192020 is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as $1.0$0.9 billion in net deferred tax assets in the “Other assets” caption (December 31, 20182019 - $1.0$0.9 billion) and $930 thousand$1.4 million in deferred tax liabilities in the “Other liabilities” caption (December 31, 20182019 - $926 thousand)$1.4 million), 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 positivenegative and negativepositive 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, includingmainly the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback years andtax-planning strategies.carryforwards.

At March 31, 20192020 the net deferred tax asset of the U.S. operations amounted to $724$727 million with a valuation allowance of approximately $401$408 million, for a net deferred tax asset of approximately $323$319 million. Management evaluates the realization of the deferred tax asset by taxing jurisdiction. The U.S. mainland operations are evaluated, as a whole, since a consolidated income tax return is filed. During this quarter, two additional pieces of negative evidence arose: further reduction in interest rates combined with a lower expectation of rate increases in the near future and the economic uncertainty around COVID-19 pandemic. This economic disruption was the principal driver of the significant increase in our provision for credit losses during this quarter, although net charge-offs for the quarter were lower and early credit indicators such as NPL inflows were also lower in our U.S. operations. Due to the economic uncertainty, at this time, the additional negative evidence related to the economic disruption is not enough to overcome the positive evidence of recent historical operating performance such as sustained loan growth, the early success of new business initiatives and stable credit metrics, in combination with the length of the expiration of the NOLs. The Corporation believes that this objectively verified positive evidence places the U.S. operations in a good position to continue executing its business plan once the economic environment stabilizes after the current pandemic turmoil. As a result, as of March 31, 2019,2020, management estimatedestimates that the U.S. operations would earn enoughpre-tax Income 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 $323 million, will be realized. Management will continue to evaluatemonitor and review the U.S. operation’s results and the pre-tax earnings forecast on a quarterly basis to assess the future realization of the deferredDTA. Management will closely monitor factors like, net income versus forecast, targeted loan growth, net interest income margin, allowance for credit losses, charge offs, NPLs inflows and NPA balances. If such factors worsen during future periods, they could constitute sufficient objectively verifiable negative evidence to overcome the positive evidence, that currently exists, and could require additional amounts of valuation allowance to be registered on the DTA. Any increases to the valuation allowance would be reflected as an income tax asset each quarter and adjust as any changes arises.expense, reducing the Corporation’s earnings.

At March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation’s net deferred tax assets related to its Puerto Rico operations amounted to $669$608 million.

The Corporation’s Puerto Rico Banking operation is not in a cumulative three yearthree-year loss position and has sustained profitability for the three yearthree-year period ended March 31, 2019.2020. This is considered a strong piece of objectively verifiable positive evidence that outweightsoutweighs 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.

realized as of March 31, 2020.

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 yearthree-year period ended March 31, 2019.2020. 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 allnegative and 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 valuation allowance is recorded on the deferred tax asset at the PIHC, which amounted to $95$105 million as of March 31, 2019.2020.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the operations of our clients, customers, service providers and suppliers, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response thereto. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic results in the continued closure of businesses and a reduction in economic activity, and interest rates, the Corporation and its subsidiaries will be further impacted in the form of reduced revenues, additional expenses and higher credit losses and could result in further impairment or reduction in the assessment of the realizability of our DTA in our Puerto Rico and U.S. operations.

The reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, was as follows:

At March 31, 2019,2020, the total amount of accrued interest recognized in the statement of financial condition approximated $3.0$4.3 million (December 31, 20182019 - $2.8$3.5 million). The total interest expense recognized at March 31, 20192020 was $149$854 thousand (March 31, 20182019 - $151$149 thousand). Management determined that at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 there was no0 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, while 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 $9.8$11.2 million at March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $9.0$10.5 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 March 31, 2019,2020, the following years remain subject to examination in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction: 20152016 and thereafter; and in the Puerto Rico jurisdiction, 2014 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 $4.7$2.1 million.

Note 3433 – Segment reporting

The Corporation’s corporate structure consists of two2 reportable segments – Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Popular 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 March 31, 2019,2020, 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.

Popular U.S.:

Popular U.S. reportable segment consists of the banking operations of Popular Bank (PB) and Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A. PB operates through a retail branch network in the U.S. mainland under the name of Popular. Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A. offers investment and insurance services across the PB branch network.

The Corporate group consists primarily of the holding 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, 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’SMANAGEMENT'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 provides retail, mortgage and commercial banking services through its New York-chartered banking subsidiary, Popular Bank (“PB”), which has branches located in New York, New Jersey and Florida.Florida. Note 3433 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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had a 16.13%16.22% interest in EVERTEC, Inc., whose operating subsidiaries provide transaction processing services throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, and servicesservice many of the Corporation’s systems infrastructure and transaction processing businesses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation recorded $ 5.2 4.4 million in earnings from its investment in EVERTEC, which had a carrying amount of $65$74 million as of the end of the quarter. Also, the Corporation had a 15.84% equity interest in Centro Financiero BHD León, S.A. (“BHD León”), one of the largest banking and financial services groups in the Dominican Republic. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation recorded $5.5$6.8 million in earnings from its investment in BHD León, which had a carrying amount of $149$158 million, as of the end of the quarter.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Accelerated share

Impact of the adoption of the current expected credit loss model (“CECL”)

The Corporation adopted the new CECL accounting standard effective on January 1, 2020, as discussed in Note 3- “New Accounting Pronouncements”. As a result of the adoption of the CECL model, the Corporation recorded a net increase in its allowance for credit losses related to its loan portfolio, unfunded commitments and credit recourse guarantees amounting to $306 million. The Corporation also recognized an allowance for credit losses of approximately $13 million related to its held-to-maturity debt securities portfolio. The adjustments to reflect the increase in the allowance for credit losses was recorded as a decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2020, net of deferred tax asset, except for approximately $17 million related to

124


purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans previously accounted under ASC Subtopic 310-30, which resulted in a reclassification between certain contra loan balance accounts to the allowance for credit losses.

As part of the adoption of CECL, the Corporation made the election to break the existing pools of PCI loans, which were excluded from non-performing status, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. Upon being measured at the individual loan level, these loans are no longer excluded from non-performing status, resulting in an increase of $278 million in NPLs as of January 1, 2020. This increase included $144 million in loans currently over 90 days past due and $134 million in loans that are not delinquent in their payment terms but that are reported as non-performing due to other credit quality considerations.

The Corporation will avail itself of the option to phase in over a period of three years, beginning on January 1, 2022, the day-one effects on regulatory capital arising from the adoption of CECL. Refer to the Regulatory Capital section of this MD&A for additional information on regulatory capital.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China and has since spread globally to other countries and jurisdictions, including the mainland United States and Puerto Rico. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted and negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, significantly increased unemployment levels worldwide and decreased consumer confidence and commercial activity generally, including in the markets in which we do business, leading to an increased risk of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures.

In Puerto Rico, our primary market, the Governor issued executive orders in March 2020 that declared a state of emergency as a result of the pandemic and ordered the closure of all businesses, with the exception of businesses that provide essential services, including banking and financial institutions such as Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”). Furthermore, the Puerto Rico government has mandated its citizens to remain sheltered in place and imposed a mandatory curfew, significantly limiting the activities that may be done in public. Certain of the restrictions were eased effective on May 4, 2020, and the government announced that,if the island continues to exhibit progress with respect to the containment of the pandemic, it expects to implement additional changes to gradually allow for the opening of additional businesses and industries in the upcoming weeks. However, significant restrictions on non-essential business activities remain and many businesses, including retail establishments and certain of the Corporation’s lines of business, remain closed or are operating partially.

The government of the USVI and state governments in the U.S. mainland, including New York, New Jersey and Florida, where Popular Bank (“Popular U.S.” or “PB”) has branches, have also declared states of emergency as a result of the pandemic, ordered the temporary closure of all non-essential businesses and its citizens to remain sheltered in place and observe social distancing, causing a similar significant economic disruption.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted our operations and already negatively impacted our business, financial condition and operations. In response to the pandemic, the Corporation has taken measures to ensure the continuity of our operations and the safety of our employees and customers through this pandemic, while providing financial relief to customers through programs such as payment moratoriums, suspensions of foreclosures and other collection activity, as well as waivers of certain fees and service charges, including late-payment charges and ATM transaction fees.

The following is a summary of the main steps the Corporation has undertaken in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Employees

Broadened remote working capabilities through the use of technology

Executed actions to support employees working in our offices, including sanitation measures, social distance, staggered shifts and the distribution of masks and gloves

125


Provided special compensation incentives to front-line employees (in our branches and call centers)

Expanded health insurance benefits, including free COVID-19 tests and the availability of telephone consultations to employees and covered family members.

Customers

Published dedicated phoneline and online tool to request financial assistance for customers impacted by COVID-19

Offered payment moratoriums for eligible customers in mortgage, consumer loans, credit cards, auto loans and leases and certain commercial credit facilities, subject to certain terms and conditions

Suspended residential property foreclosures and evictions, as well as most other collection activity

Waived ATM fees and early withdrawal penalties on certificates of deposits

Offered expedited lines of credit of up to $100,000 for BPPR commercial clients with favorable terms

Mobilized to offer Small Business Administration loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) to affected businesses; as of May 8, 2020 submitted and received approval of more than $1.2 billion of PPP loans.

Branch Operations

PR and USVI - Branches are operating under a reduced schedule and are rotating personnel to reduce their health exposure. In PR approximately 75% of BPPR’s branches are in operation, many primarily by drive-thru. In USVI, approximately 90% of BPPR’s branches are in operation.

Mainland U.S. operations - Nearly all of PB’s branches are operating, with some on daily alternating schedules.

Community

Established a fund with an initial contribution of $1 million to support efforts in three primary areas: a) medical equipment and healthcare projects that combat COVID-19; b) entrepreneurs, small and medium businesses, providing financial advice and business continuity support; and c) non-profit organizations to ensure the continuity of their services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing actions, the COVID-19 outbreak could still greatly affect our routine and essential operations due to staff absenteeism, particularly among key personnel; further limited access to or closures of our branch facilities and other physical offices; operational, technical or security-related risks arising from a remote work-force; and government or regulatory agency orders, among other things. The business and operations of our third-party service providers, many of whom perform critical services for our business, could also be significantly impacted, which in turn could impact us. As a result, we are currently unable to fully assess or predict the extent of the effects of COVID-19 on our operations, as well as the operations of our clients, customers, service providers and suppliers, as the ultimate impact will depend on factors that are currently unknown and/or beyond our control.

The results for the first quarter of 2020 reflect the impact during the month of March 2020 of the business disruption and relief measures described above. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for the loans and investments portfolios, under the CECL methodology, was $189.7 million, including $134 million in incremental reserves due to the expected economic impact of COVID-19. The Corporation’s revenue streams were impacted in the form of reduced consumer transaction activity, the waiver of certain late fees and service charges, including ATM transaction fees, as well as the suspension in mortgage origination and related securitization and loan sale activities. These impacted revenue captions resulted in a decrease in income of approximately $6.8 million when compared to the previous quarter, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 disruptions, mainly over the last two weeks of March. Furthermore, the Corporation has incurred additional expenses related to front-line employee bonuses, the enabling of remote access for employees to work from home, the expansion of employee benefits, as well

126


as the impact of specific measures to prevent the spread of the disease and efforts related to customer relief programs, among other related expenses.

The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition (including our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios), will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, customers, clients, counterparties and service providers, as well as other market participants,and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position may also affect the ability of the Corporation to continue paying dividends to its shareholders or repurchase transactionshares of the Corporation’s common stock, as well as the value of the Corporation’s goodwill and its deferred tax assets.Refer to Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors, of this Form 10-Q for additional information

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

On February 28, 2019,January 30, 2020, the Corporation entered into a $250 millionan accelerated share repurchase transaction (“ASR”) transactionof $500 million with respect to its common stock, which was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. As a result of the receipt of the initial 7,055,919 shares under the ASR, the Corporation recognized in shareholders’ equity approximately $200$400 million in treasury stock and $50$100 million as a reduction inof capital surplus. The Corporation expects to further adjust its treasury stock and capital surplus accounts to reflectASR provided that the delivery or receiptfinal number of cash or shares upon the termination of the ASR agreement, which will dependdelivered at settlement would be based on the average daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Corporation’s sharescommon stock, net of a discount, during the term of the ASR.

As a result of the recent decrease in the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock during the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 19, 2020, the dealer counterparty to the ASR exercised its right under the ASR Agreement to terminate the ASR as a result of the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock falling below a specified level, allowing the dealer counterparty to terminate the ASR. The agreement executed in connection with such termination (the “Termination Agreement”) provides for the acceleration of the final settlement of the ASR, which was originally expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Under the settlement resulting from the Termination Agreement, the Corporation will receive a further number of shares of common stock, equivalent to approximately $167 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Corporation had received 642,400 additional shares after the early termination of the ASR. In connection with such receipt, the Corporation recorded approximately $23 million as treasury stock and recognized that amount as an increase in capital surplus.

Increase in quarterly common stock dividenddividends

As part of its capital plan for 2019, on

On January 23, 2019,9, 2020, the Corporation announced an increase in its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.25$0.30 per share to $0.30$0.40 per share, payable commencing in the second quarter of 2019.2020, subject to the approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. On February 15, 2019,28, 2020, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved the first quarterly cash dividend of $0.30$0.40 per share on its outstanding common stock, which was paid on April 1, 20192020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2019.19, 2020.

OVERVIEW

Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

On February 24, 2020, the Corporation redeemed all outstanding shares of its 8.25% Non-Cumulative Monthly Income Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock was redeemed at the redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus $0.1375 in accrued and unpaid dividends on each share, for a total payment per share in the amount of $25.1375 and a total aggregate payment of $28.2 million.

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. 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.– Non-GAAP Financial Measure

128


The Corporation’s 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 exempttax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis is presented with its different components in Table 2, along with the reconciliation to net interest income (GAAP), for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019, segregated by major categories of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

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, 20192020

As previously described, the results for the first quarter of 2020 reflect the impact during the month of March 2020 of the business disruption and relief measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic described above, and the adoption of the new CECL accounting standard effective on January 1, 2020. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation recorded net income of $ 167.934.3 million, compared to net income of $ 91.3 million167.9 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The results for the first quarter of 2020 reflect a higher net interest income by $77.9$2.1 million mainly due to higher income from investment securities due to higher volume of U.S. Treasurydebt securities, and higher income from autothe loans impacted by the portfolio acquired as part of the Reliable Transaction, discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,and lower interest expense from deposits, partially offset by higherlower interest expense on deposits.income from money market investments. The provision for loancredit losses decreasedincreased by $29.2$147.9 million, mainly duecalculated under the new CECL accounting standard, included an additional reserve amounting to $134 million resulting from the deterioration in the economic outlook as a specific reserveresult of $21.6 million recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.COVID-19 pandemic. Non-interest income was higherlower by $22.9$9.8 million mostly driven by the termination of the FDIC Shared-Loss Agreements during the second quarter of 2018,due higher other service feesadjustments for reserves for loans previously sold with credit recourse, fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights and higher earnings from investments under theunrealized losses on equity method.securities. Operating expenses were higher by $25.4$25.2 million mainly due to higher professional fees and personnel costs, reflecting our increase in headcount, and higher incentive related compensation.among other operating expenses.

Total assets at March 31, 20192020 amounted to $48.7$52.8 billion, compared to $47.6$52.1 billion, at December 31, 2018.2019. The increase of $1.1$0.7 billion was mainly due to higher balances on money market investments and loan balances, partially offset by lower investments in debt securitiesavailable-for-sale, and a higher loan portfolio balance. available-for-sale.

Total deposits at March 31, 20192020 increased by $1.2$1.0 billion when compared to deposits at December 31, 2018,2019, mainly due to an increase in time deposits from trust account and savings accounts, partially offset by a decrease in Puerto Rico public and private sectors.sector deposits at BPPR.

Capital ratios continued to be strong. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.39%15.79%, while the total capital ratio was 19.00%18.36%. Refer to Table 7 for capital ratios.

Due to the effects of the current and projected interest rate environment and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the valuation of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Corporation deemed these factors as a triggering event which required management to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. Based on the analysis performed, no impairment was recognized. Refer to Note- 14 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information of the Corporation’s interim goodwill impairment test.

OPERATING RESULTS ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $471.0$473.1 million for the first quarter of 2019,2020, an increase of $77.9$2.1 million when compared to $393.1$471.0 million for the same quarter of 2018.2019. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $510.5$521.4 million for the first quarter of 2019,2020, an increase of $85.4$10.9 million when compared to $425.1$510.5 million forin the same quarter of 2018.2019. The increase in $7.5of $8.8 million in the taxable equivalent adjustment is directly related to a higher volume oftax-exempt investments in P.R. BPPR.

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 20192020 was 4.20%3.94%, an increasea decrease of 3126 basis points when compared to 3.89%4.20% for the same quarter of the previous year. Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the first quarter of 20192020 was 4.56%4.34%, an increasea decrease of 3422 basis points when compared to 4.21%4.56% for the same quarter of 2018.The increase in net interest margin is mostly related to the deployment of excess liquidity to acquire the Reliable portfolio and purchase of approximately $3.0 billion in investment securities, thereby improving theafter-tax asset yield.

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 single line in its analysis of average balances and yields. The presentation for prior periods has been adjusted accordingly, for comparative purposes.

2019.The detailed variances of the increasedecrease in net interest income are described below:

Positive variances:

Higher interest income from money market investments due to an increase in market interest rates experienced during 2018. The average rate of such portfolios increased 88 basis points when compared to the same period in 2018, partially offset by lower volume by $1.0 billion;

Higher interest income from investment securities mainly due to a higher volumes fromvolume of U.S. TreasuriesTreasury securities and agencies related to recent purchases to deploy liquidity and the benefit from the Puerto Rico tax exemption of these assets;assets.

Higher interest income from loans:

oCommercial 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 related to the effect on the variable rate portfolio of the above-mentioned rise in interestpartially offset by lower market rates and the origination in a higher interest rate environment;as described above;

oLease portfolio due to improved origination activity at Popular Auto;

oConsumer loans, driven by improved yield on the acquisition of a $74 million credit card portfolio at the end of 2019 and originationshigher volume of consumer loans originated through the Eloan channel; andchannel.

AutooPartially offset by lower income from mortgage loans mainly duemostly associated to the Reliable Transaction, which contributed $46.3 million in auto loans interest income, including the amortizationrun-off of the fair value discountportfolio and lower service fees related to the condonation of $11.7 million, and improved activity in auto loan financing in Puerto Rico.

Negative variances:late payment fees as part of the financial assistance to customers on the COVID-19 pandemic.

HigherLower interest expense on deposits mainly due to higher cost of interest-bearinglower deposit costs mostly on the P.R. government deposits in U.S. by 51 basis points and 32 basis points in P.R. The increase was drivenpartially offset by higher volume throughin P.R. by $2.5 billion and in the direct digital channel at Popular Bank and higherU.S. by $0.5 billion.

Negative variances:

Lower interest income from money market investments due to lower volume and costthe cumulative impact of P.R. government deposits.

the Federal Reserve interest rate decreases that occurred in 2019 and Q1 2020.

Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, including2020, included the amortization of deferred loans fees, prepayment penalties, late fees and the amortization of premium/discounts, amountedamounting to $16.3$26.8 million or an increase of $10.5 million when compared to the same quarter in income, including $12.2 million of fair value discount amortization2019. This increase is mainly related to the Reliable Transaction, compared with $3.4adoption of CECL, where the Corporation made the election to break the existing pools of PCI loans, resulting in a higher amortization on the discount on the individual loans, previously accounted on the average life of the pool of loans.

The impact of higher earning asset volumes and lower cost of funds led to higher net interest income by $2.1 million in amortization income forthe first quarter of 2020 over the same period in 2018.

The Corporation’s provision for loancredit losses was $189.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $41.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $71.1an increase of $147.2 million.

The provision for credit losses for the BPPR segment was $113.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $29.3 million, mostly related2020, compared to the BPPR segment.

The provision for loan losses for the BPPR segment was $31.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, comparedan increase of $81.5 million. The Popular U.S. segment provision for credit losses amounted to $58.4$76.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a decrease2020, an increase of $26.9$65.6 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 $10.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $12.6$10.4 million for the same quarter in 2018.2019.

The increase in the provision for credit losses when compared to the same quarter of the previous year reflects the impact of the adoption of the new CECL accounting standard, discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation recorded $134 million in incremental reserves resulting from the deterioration in the economic outlook as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to carefully review the exposure of the portfolios to COVID-19 related risks, as well as changes in the economic outlook and their effect on credit quality.

higher other service fees by $3.7$3.5 million mainly due to retail auto loanhigher fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing fee income;rights by $1.4 million due to an increase in estimated prepayments driven by declines in market rates, coupled with higher trading account losses by $1.4 million;

higheran unfavorable variance in unrealized net gainslosses on equity securities by $2.1$4.2 million mainly on deferred compensation plans that have an offsetting expense in personnel costs and related expenses;

an impairment charge of $0.5 million recorded during 2018;

higher commission, incentivesnet occupancy expense by $1.6 million due to higher insurance cost 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 andcleaning costs in response to the impact of the profit sharing plan of $3.6 million;COVID-19 pandemic;

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense amounted to $50.2 million forFor the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared with2020, the Corporation recorded income tax expense of $22.2$3.1 million for same quarterwith an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of the previous year. The increase on8%, compared to income tax expense is mainly attributed$50.2 million with an ETR of 23% for the same quarter 2019. The income tax expense and ETR for the first quarter of 2020, reflects the impact of lower pre-tax income, resulting primarily from a higher provision for credit losses due to higher taxable income, partially offsetthe implementation of CECL and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Corporation expects a consolidated ETR for the year 2020 to be within a range of 14% to 18%. This expectation will be impacted by the reduction in tax rate from 39% to 37.5%, effective on December 2018,composition and a higher tax benefit on net exempt interestsource of the Corporation’s pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was 23%.

At March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) amounting to $1.0$0.9 billion, net of a valuation allowance of $0.5 billion. The deferred tax asset related to the U.S. operations was $0.3 billion, net of a valuation allowance of $0.4 billion.

Refer to Note 3231 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate and additional information on DTAthe realizability of the deferred tax asset balances.

For a description of the Corporation’s reportable segments, including additional financial information and the underlying management accounting process, refer to Note 3433 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 $1.3$0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, compared with a net loss of $18.5$1.3 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The change was mostly driven by lower operating expenses by $19.7 million due to the Corporation’s corporate expense allocations to its subsidiaries as a result 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 2018.year.

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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation, BPPR and PB continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.

The decrease in the common equity Tier I capital ratio, Tier I capital ratio, total capital ratio, and leverage capital ratio as of March 31, 20192020 as compared to December 31, 20182019 was mainly attributed to higher risk weighted assets driven by the 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$500 million.

Pursuant to the adoption of the CECL accounting standard on January 1, 2020, the Corporation elected to use the five-year transition period option as provided in the final interim regulatory capital rules effective March 31, 2020. The five-year transition period provision delays for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay.

Simplifications to the Capital Rule Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996

On July 9, 2019, the federal banking regulatory agencies issued a final rule that simplified several requirements in the agencies' regulatory capital rules. These rules, effective on April 1, 2020, simplify the regulatory capital requirement for mortgage servicing assets (MSAs), deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions by raising the CET1 deduction threshold from 10% to 25%. The 15% CET 1 deduction threshold which applies to aggregate amount of such items would be eliminated. The rule also requires, among other changes, increasing from 100% to 250% the risk weight to MSAs and temporary difference deferred tax asset not deducted from capital. For investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, the risk weight would be based on the exposure category of the investment. As a result of these rules, the Corporation’s risk-based capital ratios are expected to decrease driven by the three months period earnings.change in risk weighting. On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2020, the impact would have been a reduction of approximately 35 bps.

Non-GAAP financial measures

The tangible common equity, 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’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 8 provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets as of March 31, 2019, 2020, and December 31, 2018.2019.

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 and provision of guarantees, indemnifications, and representation and warranties. Refer to Note 20 in the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 agreements. Also, in

As previously indicated, 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 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 $340 million at March 31, 2019 of which approximately 56% mature in 2019, 21% in 2020, 12% in 2021 and 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 1716 in the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 or a default occurring, the total contractual amounts are not representative of the Corporation’s actual future credit exposure or liquidity requirements for these commitments.

Table 9 presents the contractual amounts related to the Corporation’soff-balance sheet lending and other activities at March 31, 2019.2020.

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.

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 debt securities portfolio classified asavailable-for-sale. Refer to Notes 6 and 7 for further information on the debt securitiesavailable-for-sale andheld-to-maturity portfolios. Debt securities classified asavailable-for-sale amounted to $13.5$15.8 billion as of March 31, 2019.2020. Other assets subject to market risk include loansheld-for-sale, which amounted to $44$88 million, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) which amounted to $168$147 million and securities classified as “trading”, which amounted to $39$43 million, as of March 31, 2019.

2020.

Management believes that market risk is currently not a material source of risk at the Corporation.

Interest Rate Risk (“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”). The three methodologies complement each other and are used jointly in the evaluation of the Corporation’s IRR. NII simulation modeling is prepared for a five-year period, which in conjunction with the EVE analysis, provides management a better view of long-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 NII simulations under different interest rate scenarios that differ in direction of interest rate changes, the degree of change and the projected shape of the yield curve. For example, the types of rate scenarios processed during the quarter include flat rates, implied forwards, parallel andnon-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 simulation 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.

The Corporation processes NII simulations under interest rate scenarios in which the yield curve is assumed to rise and decline by the same amount (parallel shifts). The rate scenarios considered in these market risk simulations reflect parallel changes of -100, -200, +100, +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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, assuming a static balance sheet and parallel changes over flat spot rates over aone-year time horizon:

AtDuring the quarter, the Federal Reserve reduced the Fed Funds Target Rate from 1.75% to 0.25%. For the same period, the U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note decreased from 1.92% to 0.67%. The NII sensitivity to declining rate scenarios decreased notably from the December simulation, primarily related to the actual low rate environment. Rates are now considered to be close to their “lower bound” because we currently assume, in our interest risk models, that rates will not reach negative values. This has the effect of reducing sensitivity in most products given that rates are close to zero in most curve tenors and therefore have little room to fall further in the declining rates scenarios. However, the Corporation’s U.S. operations are expected to benefit from modeled additional decreases in rates as the bank could potentially lower its cost of funds while existing contractual interest rate floors in the loan portfolio contribute to NII improvement. We would expect this “flooring” effect on sensitivity to declining rates to reverse itself if rates were to rise, because it would mean that rates would once again have more room to fall. As of March 31, 2019, the2020, NII simulations showed thatshow the Corporation maintainscontinues to benefit from 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 29% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio was comprised of variable loans, and (iii) low elasticity of the Corporation’s core deposit base.overall rising rate environment.

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

Trading

The Corporation engages in trading activities in the ordinary course of business at its subsidiaries, BPPR 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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation held trading securities with a fair value of $39$43 million, representing approximately 0.1% of the Corporation’s total assets, compared with $38$40 million and 0.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2018.2019. As shown in Table 11, the trading portfolio consists principally of mortgage-backed securities which at March 31, 20192020 were investment grade securities. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the trading portfolio also included $7 million in U.S. Treasury securities and $0.1 million in Puerto Rico government obligations ($6 million and $0.10.6 million as of December 31, 2018, respectively)2019). 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 $ 491 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and a net trading account gain of $260 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and a net trading account loss of $198 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.2019.

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 $0.2$0.7 million for the last week in March 2019.2020. 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 debt securities, debt securitiesavailable-for-sale, certain equity securities, derivatives and mortgage servicing rights and contingent consideration.rights. 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 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 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Corporation’s fair value measurement required by the applicable accounting standard.

A description of the Corporation’s valuation methodologies used for the assets and liabilities measured at fair value is included in Note 2930 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 20182019 Form10-K. Also, Refer to the Critical Accounting Policies / Estimates in the 20182019 Form10-K for additional information on the accounting guidance and the Corporation’s policies or procedures related to fair value measurements.

Liquidity

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, fund planned capital distributions 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 Risk Management Committee and the 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 due to exogenous events such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, its credit rating is downgraded, 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. As further explained below, a principal source of liquidity for the bank holding companies (the “BHCs”) are dividends received from banking and non-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.

Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered deposits and public funds deposits, continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Corporation, funding 84%85% of the Corporation’s total assets at March 31, 20192020 and 83%84% at December 31, 2018.2019. The ratio of total ending loans to deposits was 65%62% at March 31, 2019,2020, compared to 67%63% at December 31, 2018. 2019. In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains borrowing arrangements, which amounted to approximately $1.4$1.3 billion at March 31, 20192020 (December 31, 20182019 - $1.5$1.3 billion). A detailed description of the Corporation’s borrowings, including their terms, is included in Note 1716 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.

As previously mentioned, during 2020 the Corporation executed actions corresponding to its capital and liquidity strategic plans. These included the $500 million accelerated share repurchase transaction with respect to its common stock and an increase in quarterly common stock dividend from $0.30 per share to $0.40 per share. Refer to additional details of these transactions in the Overview section of this MD&A and Notes 18 - Stockholders Equity and Note 26 - Net Income Per Common Share.

The following sections provide further information on the Corporation’s major funding activities and needs, as well as the risks involved in these activities. Note 3534 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides consolidating statements of condition, of operations and of cash flows which separately presents the Corporation’s bank holding companies and 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 PB or “the banking subsidiaries”) include retail, commercial and commercialpublic sector 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 BoardBank of New York (the “FRB”), and has a considerable amount of collateral pledged that can be used to quickly raise funds under these facilities.

Refer to Note 1716 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

148


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.

The banking subsidiaries maintain sufficient funding capacity to address large increases in funding requirements such as deposit outflows. 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 6 for a breakdown of deposits by major types. Core deposits are generated from a large base of consumer, corporate and institutionalpublic sector 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 $ 35.938.8 billion, or 88%87% of total deposits, at March 31, 2019,2020, compared with $34.9$38.8 billion, or 88%89% of total deposits, at December 31, 2018.2019. Core deposits financed 79%78% of the Corporation’s earning assets at March 31, 2019,2020, compared with 79%80% at December 31, 2018.2019.

The distribution by maturity of certificates of deposits with denominations of $100,000 and over at March 31, 2019 2020is presented in the table that follows:

The Corporation had $ 0.50.6 billion in brokered deposits at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018,2020, which financed approximately 1%, of its total assets. assets (December 31, 2019 - $0.5 billion and 1%, respectively). 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.

AtDeposits from the public sector represent an important source of funds for the Company. As of March 31, 2019,2020, total public sector deposits were $10.4 billion. Generally, these deposits require that the bank pledge high credit quality securities as collateral; therefore liquidity risks arising from deposit outflows are lower given that the bank receives its collateral in return. However, there are some timing differences between the time the deposit outflow happens and when the bank receives its collateral. This, now unpledged, collateral can either be financed via repurchase agreements or sold for cash.

At March 31, 2020, 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

149


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”),BHCs, which are Popular, Inc. (holding company only) and 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. Dividends from banking and non-banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory limits and authorization requirements that are further described below and that may limit the ability of those subsidiaries to act as a source of funding to the BHCs.

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

The BHC’sBHCs 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 below “investment grade” 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.

The outstanding balance of notes payable at the BHC’sBHCs amounted to $679$681 million at March 31, 20192020 and $680 million at December 31, 2018.2019.

The contractual maturities of the BHC’sBHCs notes payable at March 31, 20192020 are presented in Table 13.

Annual debt service at the BHCs is approximately $44 million per annum, and the Company’s latest quarterly dividend was $0.40 per share. 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. As of March 31, 2020, the BHCs had cash and money markets investments totaling $301 million, borrowing potential of $184 million from its secured facility with BPPR. In addition to these liquidity sources, the stake in EVERTEC had a market value of $265 million as of March 31, 2020, and it represents an additional source of contingent liquidity.

Non-banking subsidiaries

The principal sources of funding for thenon-banking subsidiaries include internally generated cash flows from operations, loan sales, repurchase agreements, capital injectioninjections 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 or capital contributions from their holding companies, BPPR or PB.companies.

Dividends

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation declared quarterly dividends on its outstanding common stock of $0.30$0.40 per share, for a year-to-date total of $29.0 million paid on April 1, 2019.$ 35.5 million. The dividends for the Corporation’s Series A and Series B preferred stock

150


amounted to $0.9$0.7 million. TheOn February 24, 2020, the Corporation redeemed all the outstanding shares of 2008 Series B Preferred Stock. Refer to Note 18 for additional information. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the BHC’s received dividends amounting to $200$578 million from BPPR and $2 million in dividends from itsnon-banking subsidiaries and $0.6 million in dividends subsidiaries. Dividends from EVERTEC’s parent company.

BPPR constitute Popular, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity.

Other Funding Sources and Capital

The debt securities portfolio provides an additional source of liquidity, which may be realized through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. The Corporation’s debt securities portfolio consists primarily of liquid U.S. government investmentdebt securities, sponsored U.S. agency securities, government sponsored agency debt securities, U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government sponsored agency 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 debt securities amounted to $3.4$2.9 billion at March 31, 20192020 and $4.3$5.4 billion at December 31, 2018.2019. 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. 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.

Furthermore, various statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends an insured depository institution may pay to its holding company without regulatory approval. A member bank must obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board for any dividend, if the total of all dividends declared by the member bank during the calendar year would exceed the total of its net income for that year, combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. In addition, a member bank may not declare or pay a dividend in an amount greater than its undivided profits as reported in its Report of Condition and Income, unless the member bank has received the approval of the Federal Reserve Board. A member bank also may not permit any portion of its permanent capital to be withdrawn unless the withdrawal has been approved by the Federal Reserve Board. Pursuant to these requirements, PB may not declare or pay a dividend without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board or the NYSDFS. The ability of a bank subsidiary to up-stream dividends to its BHC could thus be impacted by its financial performance, thus potentially limiting the amount of cash moving up to the BHCs from the banking subsidiaries. This could, in turn, affect the BHCs ability to declare dividends on its outstanding common and preferred stock, for example. Popular, Inc. received $578 million in dividends from BPPR during the quarter ended March 31,

151


2020 and its ability to continue receiving dividends from BPPR will depend on such banking subsidiary’s financial condition and results of operation.

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.

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 $10$9 million in deposits at March 31, 20192020 that are subject to rating triggers.

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 20 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 $60$64 million at March 31, 2019.2020. 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 33 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 facefaces severe economic and fiscal challenges.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China and has since spread globally to other countries and jurisdictions, including the mainland United States and Puerto Rico. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 to be a pandemic. The pandemic has significantly disrupted and negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, created significant volatility in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels worldwide, including in the markets in which we do business. In Puerto Rico, the Governor issued an executive order on March 15, 2020 declaring a health emergency, ordering residents to shelter in place, implementing a mandatory curfew, and requiring the closure of all businesses, except for businesses that provide essential services, including banking and financial institutions with respect to certain services. Certain of the restrictions were eased effective on May 4, 2020, and the government announced that,if the island continues to exhibit progress with respect to the containment of the pandemic, it expects to implement additional changes to gradually allow for the opening of additional businesses and industries in the upcoming weeks. However, significant restrictions on non-essential business activities remain and many businesses, including retail establishments, remain closed or are operating partially.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have an adverse effect on economic activity in Puerto Rico in the medium- and long-term will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and of the restrictions imposed by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the same. However, at least in the short-term, the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by governments in response to the same have had a material adverse effect on economic activity worldwide, including in Puerto Rico, and there can be no assurance that measures taken by governmental authorities will be sufficient to offset the pandemic’s economic impact. In response to the pandemic, the Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly has enacted legislation requiring financial institutions to offer moratoriums through June 2020 on consumer financial products to clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bills under the consideration of the Legislative Assembly propose to further extend the terms of such moratoriums beyond June 2020. These moratoriums could, among other things, limit our ability to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of certain of our customers and the credit quality of our loan portfolio until borrowers that have benefited from such moratoriums are required to resume loan repayments.

For a discussion of the impact of the pandemic on the Corporation’s operations and financial results during the first quarter of 2020, refer to the MD&A Significant Events section, on the accompanying financial statements. For additional discussion of risk factors related to the impact of the pandemic, see Item 1A of this report and, for information regarding the projections of the 2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan (defined below) regarding the impact of the pandemic, see Fiscal Plans, Commonwealth Fiscal Plan, below.

Economic Performance

The Commonwealth’s economy entered a recession in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and the Commonwealth’sits 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,in July 2019, the Commonwealth’s real GNP for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 decreased by 3% and 4.7%, respectively. The Planning Board projects thatBoard’s report also projected an increase in real GNP will increaseof approximately 2% and 3.6% in fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively, in part due to the influx of federal funds and private insurance payments to repair damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and María. The Planning Board’s projections for fiscal year 2020, however, do not account for the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or the recent seismic activity, discussed below, on the

153


Commonwealth’s economy. For information regarding the economic projections of the 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plans (defined below), see Fiscal Plans, Commonwealth Fiscal Plan see Fiscal Plans,Commonwealth Fiscal Plan, below.

Fiscal Crisis

The Commonwealth remains in the midst of a profound fiscal crisis affecting the central government and many of its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities. This fiscal crisis has been primarily the result of 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. As a result of the crisis, the Commonwealth and certain of its instrumentalities have been unable to make debt service payments on their outstanding bonds and notes 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”) in June 2016, which, as further discussed below, established two mechanisms for the restructuring of the obligations of the Commonwealth, its public corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities.2016. The Commonwealth and several of its instrumentalities are currently in the process of restructuring their debts through such mechanisms.the debt restructuring mechanisms provided by PROMESA.

PROMESARecent Seismic Activity

On January 7, 2020, Puerto Rico was struck by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake, which caused island-wide power outages and significant damage to infrastructure and property in the southwest region of the island. The 6.4 earthquake was preceded by foreshocks and followed by aftershocks. Pursuant to the 2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan, the damages caused by the earthquake and aftershocks are preliminarily estimated to be approximately $1 billion, and the figure may increase as inspections continue in the most affected municipalities.

PROMESA

PROMESA, among other things, created a seven-member federally-appointed oversight board (the “Oversight Board”) with ample powers over the fiscal and economic affairs of the Commonwealth, its public corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities.municipalities and established two mechanisms for the restructuring of the obligations of such entities. Pursuant to PROMESA, the Oversight Board will 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 CircuitThe constitutionality 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 Boardhowever, is seeking review of the First Circuit’s decision bycurrently being challenged before 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 the Commonwealth and all of its public corporations and instrumentalities as “covered entities” under PROMESA. The only Commonwealth government entities that were not subject to such initial designation were the Commonwealth’s municipalities. OnIn May 9, 2019, however, the Oversight Board designated 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 are required to submit fiscal plans and annual budgets to the Oversight Board for its review and approval. They are also required to seek Oversight Board approval to issue, guarantee or modify their debts and to enter into contracts with an aggregate value of $10 million or more. Finally, covered entities are potentially eligible to avail themselves of the debt restructuring processes provided by PROMESA. One of such restructuring processes, Title VI, is a largely out-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 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.

Fiscal Plans

Commonwealth Fiscal Plan. The Oversight Board has certified several versions of fiscal plans for the Commonwealth since 2017. The most recent fiscal plan for the Commonwealth certified by the Oversight Board is dated as of May 9, 2019 (the “2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan”). However, on May 3, 2020, the Government submitted to the Oversight Board a further revised fiscal plan (the “Proposed 2020 Fiscal Plan” and, together with the 2019 Fiscal Plan, the “Commonwealth Fiscal Plans”). The Proposed 2020 Fiscal Plan, which has not been certified by the Oversight Board, includes updated projections that account for the impact of the recent seismic activity, discussed below, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It recognizes, however, that there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the progression of the pandemic and, therefore, the plan’s economic projections.

The 2019 Commonwealth2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan estimates that Hurricane María 4.7% contractioncaused a real decline in real GNP of 4.7% in fiscal year 2018, after accounting forfollowed by an increase in real GNP of 1.5% in fiscal year 2019, fueled by disaster relief spending (the 2019 Fiscal Plan had projected real

154


GNP growth of approximately 4% in fiscal year 2019). Taking into account the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Proposed 2020 Fiscal Plan estimates the Commonwealth’s real GNP will contract 3.6% in fiscal year 2020 and 7.8% in fiscal year 2021 (the 2019 Fiscal Plan had estimated real GNP growth of approximately 1.5% in fiscal years 2020 and real GNP contraction contraction of -0.9% in fiscal year 2021).

Beginning in fiscal year 2021, the 2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan projects that the unfavorable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Puerto Rico economy will result in pre-contractual debt service deficit of -$708 million. An annual deficit is forecasted to continue through fiscal year 2023, as growth rebounds but the impact of disaster relief fundingCOVID-19 lingers. From fiscal year 2024 through 2029, the 2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan projects that Puerto Rico will achieve an annual surplus as the impact of COVID-19 diminishes and thethere is nominal GNP growth averaging 1.5% per year. However, even after fiscal measures and structural reforms contemplated by the plan. It alsoplan, the plan projects that disaster relief spendingthere 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 abe an annual 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 that the fiscal measures contemplated by the 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan will drive approximately $13.6 billion in savings2030 and extra revenuelasting through fiscal year 2024. However, even after accounting for the impact of the fiscal measures 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 2024 drops significantly and annual deficits begin in fiscal year 2027. Based on such long-term projections, the 20192039.

The Commonwealth Fiscal Plan concludes that the Commonwealth cannot afford to meet all of its contractual debt obligations, even with aggressive implementation of the structural reforms and measures contemplated by the plan.

The 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan does not contemplate a restructuring of the debt of the Commonwealth’s municipalities. It does, however, contemplatePlans provide for the gradual reduction and the ultimate elimination of Commonwealth budgetary subsidies provided by the Commonwealth to municipalities, which constitute a material portion of the operating revenues of certain municipalities. Since fiscal year 2017, Commonwealth appropriations to municipalities werehave been reduced by $150 million in fiscal year 2018 and by an additional $45 million in 2019approximately 64% (from approximately $370 million in fiscal year 2017 to approximately $220$132 million in fiscal year 2018 (exclusive of one-time hurricane related appropriations) and approximately $175 in fiscal year 2019)2020). The 2019 Commonwealth Fiscal Plan provides forPlans contemplate additional reductions in such appropriations to municipalities every fiscal year, holding appropriations constant at approximately 45-50% of current levels$112 million starting in fiscal year 2022, before ultimately phasing2022. The 2019 Fiscal Plan proposes to phase out all subsidiesappropriations to municipalities in fiscal year 2024.2024, whereas the 2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan proposes to delay such phase out until fiscal year 2026. The 2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan notes that the challenges already faced by municipalities, combined with the impact of the recent court’s decision regarding Act 29-2019 (discussed below under “PROMESA Adversary Proceeding”) and the COVID-19 emergency, threaten the ability of municipalities to provide necessary services to their residents such as health, sanitation, public safety and emergency services and may force municipalities to make difficult decisions in prioritizing obligations.

Other Fiscal Plans. Pursuant to PROMESA, the Oversight Board has also requested and certified fiscal plans for 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 Electric 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 distribution system, and calls for significant structural reforms at PREPA. The plan also contemplates changes to the treatment of the municipal contribution in lieu of taxes, which could result in increased electricity expenses for municipalities.

The certified fiscal plan for Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (“GDB”) contemplated the wind-down of GDB and the distribution of the cash flows of GDB’s loan portfolio among its creditors (including its municipal depositors) through a debt restructuring proceeding under Title VI of PROMESA. Such restructuring was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico (the “U.S. District Court”) and subsequently 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 to restructure the Commonwealth’s liabilities under Title III of PROMESA. The Oversight Board has subsequently filed analogous petitions with respect to the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”), the Employees Retirement System of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“ERS”), the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority, PREPA and PREPA.

the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority (“PBA”). On October 19, 2018,February 12, 2019, the government completed a restructuring of COFINA’s debts pursuant to a plan of adjustment confirmed by the U.S. District Court. On September 27, 2019, the Oversight Board filed a plan of adjustment for COFINA (as subsequentlythe Commonwealth, ERS and PBA in the pending debt restructuring proceedings under Title III of PROMESA. On February 9, 2020, the Oversight Board announced that it had reached a new agreement with certain bondholders on a new framework for a plan of adjustment and, on February 28, 2020, the Oversight Board filed an amended plan of adjustment reflecting such new agreement. However, the “COFINA2020 Proposed Fiscal Plan notes that the amended plan of Adjustment”adjustment should be subject to re-evaluation and potentially substantial revision as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak.

PROMESA Adversary Proceeding

In 2019, the Oversight Board commenced an adversary proceeding against the Commonwealth seeking to invalidate Act 29-2019 (“Act 29”), which eliminated the obligation of municipalities to contribute to the Commonwealth’s health plan and pay-as-you-go retirement system, on the grounds that Act 29 was inconsistent with the 2019 Fiscal Plan. On April 15, 2020, the Judge ruled in favor of the Oversight Board and declared Act 29 “unenforceable and of no effect.” Judge Swain delayed the effective date of the

155


opinion and order for three weeks, through May 6, 2020, to provide time for the Government and the Oversight Board to agree on a mechanism for the reimbursement to the Commonwealth of approximately $166 million and $32 million, respectively, on account of retirement and health plan obligations due by municipalities as a result of the invalidation of Act 29. Subsequent to the Court’s decision, the Oversight Board, the Government and the Municipal Revenue Collection Center (“CRIM”), which is the entity primarily responsible for the collection of property taxes for the municipalities, made various proposals to resolve the immediate fiscal impact of Act 29’s invalidation. On May 6, 2020, the Government filed a motion informing the Court that CRIM had agreed to accept a proposal by the Oversight Board to reverse a $132 million transfer from the Commonwealth to the municipalities in the Commonwealth’s fiscal year 2020 budget (to be allocated among municipalities) to offset the approximately $198 million obligation of municipalities for the health plan and pay-as-you go retirement system payments for fiscal year 2020. The remaining $66 million would have to be repaid by municipalities by the end of fiscal year 2022 from other sources of revenue. There continue to be differences between the Government and the Oversight Board as to the calculation of the municipalities obligation for the health plan and retirement system payments, as well as a motion to approve a settlementlong-term solutions to the fiscal consequences to the municipalities of certain disputes between the Commonwealth and COFINA regarding the ownership of a portionAct 29’s invalidation.

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 the other Title III debtors have not been filed.vary significantly across municipalities.

Exposure of the Corporation

The credit quality of BPPR’s loan portfolio 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 arehave been 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 and the adjustment measures required by the fiscal plans and the long-term impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria present significant economic 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 affectCOVID-19 outbreak has affected many of our individual customers and customers’ businesses, whichbusinesses. This, when added to Puerto Rico’s ongoing fiscal crisis and recession, could cause credit losses that adversely affect us and may negatively affect consumer confidence. This, in turn, couldconfidence, result in reductions in consumer spending, that may alsoand 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 fiscal and economic challenges, including by controlling the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and consummating an orderly restructuring of itsthe Commonwealth’s debt obligations while continuing to provide essential services, these adverse effects could continue or worsen in ways that we are not able to predict.

At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities totaled to $455 $428 million and $458$432 million, respectively, which amounts were fully outstanding on such dates. Further deterioration of the Commonwealth’s fiscal and economic situation could adversely affect the value of our Puerto Rico government obligations, resulting in losses to us. Of the amount outstanding, $413$391 million consists of loans and $42$37 million are securities ($413391 million and $45$41 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018)2019). Substantially all of the amount outstanding at March 31, 20192020 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. At March 31, 2019,2020, 75% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities was concentrated in the municipalities of San Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Bayamón. As discussed above, the Oversight Board recently designated all Commonwealth’s municipalities as covered entities under PROMESA and 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 any of the municipalities that are currently part of such pilot initiative. For a more detailed descriptionadditional discussion of the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities, refer to Note 21 – Commitments and contingencies.

Contingencies.

In addition, at March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had $365$339 million in loans insured or securities issued by Puerto Rico governmental entities, but for which the principal source of repayment isnon-governmental ($368350 million at December 31, 2018)2019). These included $290 $273 million in residential mortgage loans insured by the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (“HFA”), a governmental instrumentality that has been designated as a covered entity under PROMESA (December 31, 20182019 - $293$276 million). These mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA insurance covers losses in the event of a borrower default and subsequent foreclosureupon the satisfaction of the underlying property.certain other conditions. The Corporation also had, at March 31, 2019, $452020, $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 foreclosureupon the satisfaction of the underlying propertycertain other conditions (December 31, 20182019 - $45$46 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

156


the financial obligations of the HFA, heshe has not exercised this power as of the date hereof. In addition, at March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had $7 million in securities issued by HFA that have been economically defeased and refunded and for which securities consisting of U.S. agencies and Treasury obligations have been escrowed (December 31, 2018 - $7 million), and $23$21 million of commercial real estate notes issued by government entities but that are payable from rent paid bynon-governmental parties (December 31, 20182019 - $23$21 million). On January 1, 2020, the Corporation received a payment amounting to $7 million upon the maturity of securities issued by HFA which had been economically defeased and refunded and for which securities consisting of U.S. agencies and Treasury obligations had been escrowed (December 31, 2019 - $7 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 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.obligations. 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 March 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation’s direct exposure to USVI instrumentalities and public corporations amounted to approximately $75$69 million, of which $67$68 million is outstanding (compared to $76$71 million and $68$67 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018)2019). Of the amount outstanding, approximately (i) $42$41 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$20 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) $11$7 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 (compared to $42 million, $14$17 million and $12$8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018)2019).

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, $1.2 billion of residential mortgages and $72$65 million commercial loans were insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies at March 31, 20192020 (compared to $1.2$1.1 billion and $74$66 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018)2019).

Non-Performing Assets

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 14.

DuringThe Corporation adopted the CECL accounting standard effective January 1, 2020. This framework requires management to estimate credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the loan using economic forecasts over a reasonable and supportable period, and historical information thereafter.

Excluding the impact of the adoption of CECL as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation exhibited stable credit quality metrics throughout the first quarter of 2019,2020. Significant changes in certain metrics reflect the Puerto Rico segment continued to reflect positiveadoption of the CECL methodology, as well as the impact of the unprecedented events that have unfolded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total non-performing loans (‘NPLs”held-in-portfolio increased by $241 million from December 31, 2019, mainly driven by loans previously accounted for as purchased credit impaired (“PCD”). Following existing accounting guidance, purchased credit impaired (“PCI’) inloans were excluded from non-performing status due to the Puerto Rico segmentestimation of cash flows at the pool level. Under CECL, these loans are accounted for on an individual loan basis under PCD accounting methodology and are no longer excluded from non-performing status. BPPR’s NPLs increased by $237 million, mostly related to PCI loans transition impact of $260 million. Excluding this impact, NPLs decreased by $23 million, mostly duerelated to lower commercialmortgage NPLs.

At March 31, 2019,2020, NPLs secured by real estate amounted to $455$645 million in the Puerto Rico operations and $39$26 million in the Popular U.S. operations. These figures were $459$406 million and $49$26 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.2019.

The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio secured by real estate (“CRE”) amounted to $7.7$7.8 billion at March 31, 2019,2020, of which $2.0$1.9 billion was secured with owner occupied properties, compared with $7.8$7.7 billion and $2.0$1.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2018.2019. CRE NPLs amounted to $125$215 million at March 31, 2019,2020, compared with $129$113 million at December 31, 2018.2019. The CRE NPL ratios for the BPPR and Popular U.S. segments were 2.95%5.57% and 0.06%0.07%, respectively, at March 31, 2019,2020, compared with 3.05%2.88% and 0.02%0.07%, respectively, at December 31, 2018.2019.

In addition to the NPLs included in Table 14, at March 31, 2019,2020, there were $183$244 million of 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).

HIP = “held-in-portfolio”

[1] The increase in non-accrual loans includes the initial impact of $278 million related to the adoption of CECL on the portfolio of previously purchased credit deteriorated loans. This includes mortgage loans for $133 million, commercial loans for $131 million and $14 million in consumer loans.

[2] 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 Popular U.S. segment.

[3] There were $11 million in non-performing commercial loans held-for-sale as of March 31, 2020, none for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

[4] 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 to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These include loans rebooked, which were previously pooled into GNMA securities amounting to $111 million (December 31, 2019 - $103 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 repurchases option are required to be reflected on the financial statements of BPPR with an offseting liability. These balances include $222 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $213 million). Furthermore, the Corporation has approximately $62 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 from non-performing assets (December 31, 2019 - $65 million).

[5] The carrying value of loans accounted for under ASC Sub-topic 310-30 that are contractually 90 days or more past due was $153 million at December 31, 2019. This amount is excluded from the above table as the loans’ accretable yield interest recognition is independent from the underlying contractual loan delinquency status.

Allowance for LoanCredit Losses Loans Held-in-Portfolio

The Corporation adopted the new CECL accounting standard effective on January 1, 2020.The allowance for loan and leasecredit losses (“ALLL”ACL”), which represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses inherent inthrough the remaining contractual life of the different loan portfolio,segments, impacted by expected prepayments. The ACL is maintained at a sufficient level to provide for estimated credit losses on individually evaluatedcollateral dependent loans as well as estimated credit losses inherent introubled debt restructurings separately from the remainder of the loan portfolio. The Corporation’s management evaluates the adequacy of the ALLLACL on a quarterly basis. In this evaluation, management considers current conditions, macroeconomic economic conditionsexpectations through a reasonable and the resulting impact on Popular Inc.’s loansupportable period, historical loss experience, portfolio the composition of the portfolio by loan type and risk characteristics, historical loss experience, results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans, and regulatory requirements, and loan impairment measurement, amongamongst 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 yearsrecalibration of historical data when estimatingstatistical models used to calculate lifetime expected 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 also 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 the Critical Accounting Policies / Estimates sectionNote 4 – Summary of significant accounting policies included in this MD&AForm 10-Q for a description of the Corporation’s allowance for loanscredit losses methodology.

At March 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses increased by $442 million from the fourth quarter of 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$920 million; an increase of $493%. The CECL adoption impact resulted in an increase of $315 million (“Day 1 impact”) in the allowance for credit losses related to loans. Approximately, $298 million of this increase was reflected as a reduction of the opening balance of retained earnings, net of income taxes. The remaining $17 million, related to PCD loans previously accounted for under the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 310-30, were reclassified from certain contra loan balance accounts of that portfolio. Excluding such Day 1 impact, the ACL increase of $127 million was mainly attributable to the significant change in the macroeconomic conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 3.32% at March 31, 2020, compared to 1.74% at December 31, 2019. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 119.7% compared to 90.5% in the previous quarter.

The BPPR ACL increased by $324 million to $757 million, or 3.74% of loan-held-in portfolio, from December 31, 2019, mainly driven by the Day 1 impact of $270 million. Consumer and mortgage loans accounted for $122 million and $86 million, respectively of this impact. The Popular U.S. segment,ACL increased by $118 million to $163 million, or 2.19% of loan-held-in portfolio, from December 31, 2019, primarily relateddue to the qualitative componentCECL adoption impact of $45 million. Excluding the commercial portfolio. Day 1 impact, incremental reserves were due to the expected economic impact of COVID-19.

The provision for loancredit losses for the first quarter of 20192020 amounted to $41.8$189.0 million, compared to $71.1$41.8 million in the same period in the prior year.year, an increase of $147.2 million, reflective the impact of the CECL adoption, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to the Provision for LoanCredit Losses section of this MD&A for additional information.

The following tables present the breakdown of the allowance for credit losses by loan categories for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Troubled debt restructurings

The Corporation’s TDR loans amounted to $1.5$1.6 billion at March 31, 2019,2020, increasing by $14$17 million, or approximately 0.93%1.06%, from December 31, 2018,2019, mainly driven by higher TDRs in the BPPR segment of $13by $16 million. The increase in BPPR was mostly related to higher mortgage TDRs of $32by $21 million, of which $27$14 million were government guaranteed loans, partially offset by lower commercial TDRsa decrease of $16 million.$4 million in the BPPR consumer portfolio. TDRs in accruing status increased by $26$15 million from December 31, 2018,2019, whilenon-accruing TDRs decreasedincreased by $12$2 million.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation has entered into loan modifications with eligible customers in mortgage, consumer loans, credit cards, auto loans and leases and certain commercial credit facilities, comprised mainly of payment deferrals of up to six months, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly has also enacted legislation requiring financial institutions to offer to clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic moratoriums on consumer financial products through June 2020. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), signed by the President of the United States as part of an economic stimulus package, provided relief related to U.S. GAAP requirements for loan modifications related to COVID-19 relief measures. In addition, the Federal Reserve, along with other U.S. banking regulators, also issued interagency guidance to financial institutions that offers some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. According to the interagency guidance, COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to consumer or commercial loans that were current as of the date of the loan modification are not TDRs, since financial institutions may conclude that the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties. In addition, a modification or deferral program that is mandated by the federal government or a state government (e.g., a state program that requires all institutions within that state to suspend mortgage payments for a specified period) does not represent a TDR.

In accordance with the guidance in the CARES Act and interagency regulatory guidance, the loan modifications completed by the Corporation as part of the COVID-19 relief measures have not been treated as TDRs. Furthermore, these loan modifications do not affect the asset quality measures as the deferred payments are not deemed to be delinquent and the Corporation continues to accrue interest on these loans.

At March 31, 2020, the Corporation had completed 6,304 in modifications for residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $832 million in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated 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 present the approximate amount and percentage of commercial impaired loans for which the Corporation relied on appraisals dated more than one year old for purposes of impairment requirements at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 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.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures for the current period can be found in the Market Risk section of this report, which includes changes in market risk exposures from disclosures presented in the Corporation’s 20182019 Form10-K.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

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.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of Legal Proceedings, see Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under “Part I - Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our 20182019 Form10-K. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Also refer to the discussion in “Part I - Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report for additional information that may supplement or update the discussion of risk factors below and in our 20182019 Form10-K.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A of the Corporation’s 2018 Form10-K.

The risks described in our 20182019 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.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A of the Corporation’s 2019 Form 10-K, except for the risks included below which supplement the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly disrupted the global economy and the markets in which we operate, which has adversely impacted, and is likely to continue to adversely impact, our business, financial condition and results of operation. Its continued impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, customers, clients, counterparties and service providers, as well as other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted and negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, created significant volatility in the financial markets, significantly increased unemployment levels worldwide and decreased consumer confidence and commercial activity generally, including in the markets in which we do business, leading to an increased risk of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures. Governments across the world have ordered the temporary closure of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and shelter in place requirements in response to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has also contributed to:

Higher and more volatile credit loss expense and potential for increased charge-offs;

Ratings downgrades, credit deterioration and defaults in many industries;

A sudden and significant reduction in the valuation of the equity, fixed-income and commodity markets and the significant increase in the volatility of those markets; and

A decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury securities, which has led to decreased net interest income.

In Puerto Rico, our primary market, the Governor has issued several executive orders beginning on March 15, 2020 declaring a health emergency, ordering residents to shelter in place, implementing a mandatory curfew and requiring the closure of all businesses, except for certain businesses that provide essential services, including banking and financial institutions. Certain of the restrictions on the operation of businesses have been eased in recent weeks and the government has stated that it may provide for further easing of such restrictions in a manner that gradually allows for the opening of the economy. Significant restrictions on non-essential business activities remain, however, and many businesses, including retail establishments, remain closed or are operating partially. The government of the USVI and state governments in the U.S. mainland, including New York, New Jersey and Florida, where PB has branches, also declared states of emergency as a result of the pandemic, ordered the temporary closure of all non-essential businesses, and ordered its citizens to remain sheltered in place and to observe social distancing, causing a similar significant economic disruption.

168


The restrictions imposed by governments in response to the outbreak have caused significant disruption to economic activity and a sharp increase in unemployment in Puerto Rico, which has been facing significant fiscal and economic challenges for over a decade, as well as in the other markets in which we operate. Further deterioration of the Puerto Rico and the broader U.S. economy would be expected to adversely affect the ability of our borrowers to comply with their financial obligations and adversely impact demand for our products and services. The disruption in economic activity would be expected to further adversely affect the financial condition of government entities in Puerto Rico and the USVI to which we have exposure.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted our operations and already negatively impacted our business, financial condition and operations. Many of BPPR’s and PB’s branches were temporarily closed in response to the pandemic. Currently, approximately 75% of BPPR’s branches are operating and nearly all of PB’s branches are operating, with some on daily alternating schedules. Furthermore, due to restrictions on non-essential business activities imposed on some of our third-party service providers, certain of BPPR’s lines of business, including mortgage originations, were temporarily suspended from mid-March to early May. To protect the health and safety of our workforce, we have facilitated a significant portion of our workforce to work remotely, which further exposes the Corporation to heightened risks with respect to cyber-security, information security, other operational incidents and its ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls. Any disruption to our ability to deliver financial products or services to, or interact with, our clients and customers could result in losses or increased operational costs, regulatory fines, penalties and other sanctions, or harm our reputation.

Furthermore, in response to the pandemic, the Corporation has taken measures to ensure the continuity of our operations and the safety of our employees and customers, while providing financial relief to customers through programs such as payment moratoriums, suspensions of foreclosures and other collection activity, as well as waivers of certain fees and service charges. The Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly has enacted legislation requiring financial institutions to offer to clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic moratoriums on consumer financial products through June 2020. The Federal Government has also approved several economic stimulus measures, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, that seek to cushion the economic fallout of the pandemic. However, there can be no assurance that measures taken by governmental authorities will be sufficient to offset the pandemic’s economic impact and our participation (or lack of participation) in certain of governmental programs enacted in response to the pandemic could result in reputational harm, litigation and/or regulatory and other government action against the Corporation. Furthermore, moratoriums imposed by Federal and/or state law or provided voluntarily by the Corporation may limit our ability to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of certain of our customers and the credit quality of our loan portfolio until borrowers that have benefited from such moratoriums are required to resume loan repayments.

The Corporation’s results for the first quarter of 2020 already reflect the impact during the month of March 2020 of the business disruption and relief measures described above. For example, the Corporation’s revenue streams were impacted during the quarter reflecting the impact of reduced consumer transaction activity, the waiver of certain late fees and service charges, as well as the suspension in mortgage origination and related securitization and loan sale activities. The Corporation also incurred additional expenses related to front-line employee bonuses, the enabling of remote access for employees to work from home, the expansion of employee benefits, as well as the impact of specific measures to prevent the spread of the disease and efforts related to customer relief programs, among other related expenses. During the length of the impact of the pandemic, its effects on certain of the Corporation’s revenue line items, such as interchange income, service charges, debit and credit card fees, mortgage servicing income and gain on sale of mortgage loans, are expected to be more pronounced during at least the second quarter of 2020. The continued effects of the pandemic may also impact the liquidity of the bank holding company and its operating subsidiaries. Moreover, the provision for credit losses for the loans and investments portfolios includes $134 million in incremental reserves due to the expected economic impact of COVID-19. While this provision is based on management’s current best estimate of the impact of the pandemic, there is significant uncertainty with respect to the full extent of its impact and, as a result, the financial impact on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position may be significantly greater than that estimated by management and reflected in our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations and financial condition (including our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios), as well as the operations of our clients, customers, service providers and suppliers, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

169


The length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address it are unknown. Even after the pandemic subsides, the global economy may continue to experience a recession, and we anticipate our businesses would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession. To the extent the pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity,results of operations and capital position may affect the ability of the Corporation to continue paying dividends to its shareholders or repurchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock, as well as the value of the Corporation’s goodwill and its deferred tax assets.

As a bank holding company, the Corporation depends primarily on dividends from its banking and other operating subsidiaries to fund its cash needs, as well as declare dividends to its shareholders and to repurchase shares of its common stock. If as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries fail to generate sufficient net income to make dividend payments to the bank holding company, this would be expected to have a negative impact on the Corporation’s financial condition, liquidity, results of operation and capital position and affect the ability of the Corporation to pay dividends to its shareholders and to repurchase shares of its common stock.

Furthermore, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely affect the Corporation’s goodwill and the realizability of its deferred tax assets. For example, a further decline in the Corporation’s stock price related to global and/or regional macroeconomic conditions, the continued weakness in the Puerto Rico economy and fiscal situation, reduced future earnings estimates and the continuance of the current interest rate environment could have a material impact on the determination of the fair value of our reporting units, which could in turn result in an impairment of goodwill. Similarly, theCOVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the expected profitability of our businesses may affect the realizability of our deferred tax assets in our Puerto Rico and U.S. operations. An impairment of goodwill or a write-down of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets would affect the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operation.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
