OVERVIEW
Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2026
The Corporation’s net income
for the quarter ended March
31, 2026 amounted to $245.7
million, an increase of
$68.2 million when
compared to a
net income of
$177.5 million for the
quarter ended March
31, 2025. Higher net
income was mainly
driven by higher
net interest income of $64.6 million and lower
operating expenses
by $3.7 million.
Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2026
include:
- Net interest income amounted to $670.2
million, an increase of $64.6 million
when compared to the quarter ended March
31, 2025, driven
by loan growth
and investments in
U.S. Treasury securities
at higher yields,
and lower cost
of deposits,
mainly
P.R.
public
deposits,
partially
offset
by
lower
money
market
investments.
Net
interest
income
on
a
taxable
equivalent
basis
for
the
first
quarter
of
2026
was
$757.8
million,
an
increase
of
$93.9
million.
Net
interest
margin
expanded by 26 basis points to 3.66%. On
a taxable equivalent basis, net interest margin expanded by
41 basis points to
4.14%.
106
- The
provision for
credit
losses amounted
to
$75.9 million
for the
quarter ended
March 31,
2026, an
increase of
$11.8
million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, driven by a higher provision at BPPR in the commercial and
mortgage
loans
portfolio,
partially
offset
by
a
lower
provision
for
the
leases
and
consumer
loans
portfolio
due
to
improvements in credit
quality metrics. Provision
for credit losses
decreased at PB
primarily due to
the higher qualitative
reserves
established
during
the
first
quarter
of
2025
to
maintain
adequate
ACL
coverage,
for
certain
portfolios,
and
improvements in overall credit quality.
- Non-interest income amounted to $165.6 million, an increase of $13.6 million when compared to the quarter ended March
31, 2025, mainly driven by
higher credit and debit card fee income,
higher asset management fees, and higher insurance
fees.
- Operating expenses
amounted to
$467.3
million for
the quarter,
reflecting a
decrease of
$3.7 million
when compared
to
the
quarter
ended
March
31,
The
decrease
was
mainly
driven
by
lower
operational
loss
reserves
and
lower
professional services
expense, partially
offset by
higher technology
and software
expenses as
a result
of our
continued
investment in technology and higher personnel costs, mainly related to salaries, as well as
the valuation of securities held
for deferred benefit plans.
- Income tax expense of $46.9 million with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 16.0%
during the quarter ended March 31, 2026,
compared to an income
tax expense of $45.1
million with an ETR
of 20.2% for the
quarter ended March 31,
2025 due to
higher income before tax, partially offset by higher exempt
income.
- At March
31, 2026,
the Corporation’s
total assets
amounted to
$76.1 billion, compared
to $75.3
billion at
December 31,
The
increase
of
$782.8
million
was
primarily
due
to
higher
balance
in
the
available-for-sale
(“AFS”)
securities
portfolio,
driven
by
reinvestment in
U.S.
Treasury
securities,
and
an
increase
in
money market
investments and
other
assets, partially
offset
by a
decrease in
held-to-maturity (“HTM”)
investment securities
and a
decrease in
loan portfolio
balances, mainly at PB.
- Deposits
amounted
to
$67.6
billion
at
March
31,
2026,
an
increase
of
$1.4
billion
from
December 31,
2025,
primarily
driven by growth at BPPR across retail, corporate,
and P.R. public deposits.
- Stockholders’ equity
amounted to
$6.3 billion
at March
31, 2026,
compared to
$6.2 billion
at December
31, 2025.
The
Corporation and its banking subsidiaries continue
to be well capitalized. As
of March 31, 2026, the
Corporation’s tangible
book value
per common
share was
$84.98, an
increase of
$2.33 from
December 31,
- The
Common Equity
Tier
1
Capital ratio at March 31, 2026 was 15.92%,
compared to 15.72% at December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 10-Q
contains financial information
prepared under accounting
principles generally accepted in
the United States
(“U.S.
GAAP”) and
non-GAAP financial
measures. Management
uses non-GAAP
financial measures
when it
has determined
that these
measures provide
meaningful information
about the
underlying performance
of the
Corporation’s ongoing
operations. Non-GAAP
financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by
other
companies.
Adjusted net income - Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In
addition to
analyzing the
Corporation’s results
on
a reported
basis, management
monitors whether
the
impact of
certain non-
recurring or
infrequent transactions
need to
be excluded
from the
results of
operations to
present what
is then
considered to
be
“adjusted
net
income”
of
the
Corporation.
Management believes
that
the
“adjusted
net
income”
provides
meaningful
information
about
the
underlying
performance of
the
Corporation’s
ongoing
operations.
The
“adjusted
net
income”
is
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure.
There were no non-GAAP adjustments to net income
for the quarters ended March 31, 2026
and March 31, 2025.
109
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis
– Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, is presented with
its different components in Table 2 for the quarter ended March
31, 2026, as compared with the same period in 2025,
segregated by major categories of interest earning
assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.
The
main
sources
of
tax-exempt
interest
income
are
certain
loans
and
investments
in
obligations
of
the
U.S.
Government,
its
agencies and sponsored entities, and
certain obligations of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and
its agencies and assets
held by
the Corporation’s
international banking entities.
On Table
2, the interest
income has been
converted to a
taxable equivalent basis,
using the
applicable statutory income
tax rates
for each
period net
of interest
expense that the
Puerto Rico
tax law
requires to be
disallowed, based
on an
equal proportion
of tax-exempt
assets to
total assets,
and by
an allocation
of general
and administrative
expenses attributable to exempt income, reducing the benefit of
the tax-exempt income. The effective yield, on a
taxable equivalent
basis, will
vary depending on
the level
of these
expenses that are
attributable to
the available exempt
income. Under Puerto
Rico
tax
law,
the
exempt
interest
can
be
deducted
up
to
the
amount
of
taxable
income.
Management believes
that
this
presentation
provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison
of revenues arising from taxable and exempt
sources.
Tangible Common Equity and Tangible Assets
Tangible
common equity,
tangible common equity ratio, tangible
assets and tangible book
value per common share
are non-GAAP
financial measures.
Tangible
common equity
ratio and
tangible book
value per
common share
should be
used in
conjunction with
more
traditional
bank
capital
ratios
commonly
used
by
banks
and
analysts
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 for
mergers and acquisitions.
Tangible
common equity,
tangible assets
and other related
measures should not
be
used
in
isolation
or
as
a substitute
for
stockholders' equity,
total
assets
or
any
other
measure calculated
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
Moreover, the
way the Corporation
calculates its tangible
common equity,
tangible assets and
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, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES / ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation
and its subsidiaries conform to U.S. GAAP and
general practices
within
the
financial
services
industry.
Various
elements
of
the
Corporation’s
accounting
policies,
by
their
nature,
are
inherently
subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions
and other subjective assessments.
Management
has
discussed
the
development
and
selection
of
the
critical
accounting
estimates
with
the
Corporation’s
Audit
Committee. The Corporation has identified as critical accounting estimates those related to: (i) Fair Value
Measurement of Financial
Instruments;
(ii)
Loans
and
Allowance
for
Credit
Losses;
(iii)
Income
Taxes;
(iv)
Goodwill
and
Other
Intangible
Assets;
and
(v)
Pension and Postretirement
Benefit Obligations. For
a summary of
these critical accounting
estimates, refer to
the MD&A included
in
the
2025

refer
to
Note
2
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
included
in

Form 10-Q for information on recently adopted accounting
standard updates.
STATEMENT
OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income (“NII”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $670.2 million an increase of
$64.6 million, when compared to
the
same
quarter
in
NII
growth
was
attributable
to
lower
cost
of
deposits
by
$38.4
million,
primarily
due
to
P.R.
public
deposits, loan growth
and higher income
from investments in
U.S Treasury
securities. Net interest
income on a
taxable equivalent
basis for the first quarter of 2026 was $757.8
million, an increase of $94.0 million.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the first quarter of 2026 was 3.66%,
an increase of 26 basis points when compared
to the first quarter
of 2025. On
a taxable equivalent basis,
net interest margin for
the first quarter of
2026 was 4.14%, higher
by 41 basis
points when
compared to the first quarter of 2025, mainly due to higher level
of tax-exempt securities and loans. NIM expansion, when
compared
to the same quarter of the previous year,
was primarily due to lower deposit costs resulting from the
repricing of market-linked high-
cost deposits, mainly P.R.
public deposits, and higher yields on
U.S. Treasury securities. Total
cost of deposits decreased 27 basis
points
to
1.56%.
Excluding
P.R.
public
deposits,
total
deposit
costs
decreased
8
basis
points
to
1.09%
compared
to
the
same
quarter in 2025.
On a taxable equivalent basis, the main drivers of
the increase for the first quarter of 2026 were:
- higher income from
U.S. Treasury
securities by $42.4
million or 44
basis points, attributable
to higher investment
activity
at higher yields with average balances increasing by $2.0 billion supported by deposit growth and purchases completed in
the
third
quarter
of
2025
of
approximately
$2.5
billion
of
U.S.
Treasury
notes
with
an
average
duration
of
1.4
years
through a
combination of
approximately $1.0
billion in
maturing U.S.
Treasuries
and a
reduction of
approximately $1.5
billion in overnight Fed funds;
- higher income from loans
by $47.0 million or
5 basis points, mostly due
to loan growth, average loan
balances increased
by $2.2 billion when
compared to the same
period in the previous year
driven by commercial, construction and
mortgage
portfolio, along
with higher
yields from
auto, leases
and mortgage
portfolios.
Loan portfolio
yields increased
five basis
points to 7.53%; and
- lower interest expense on deposits
by $38.4 million or 27
basis points, when compared to the
same quarter in 2025. The
cost of
interest-bearing deposits decreased
by 35
basis points,
driven by
repricing of
market-linked P.R.
public deposits
which
decreased
by
66
basis
points
to
2.66%,
coupled
with
a
decrease
in
Popular
U.S.
deposit
costs
attributable
to
repricing across most deposit products, mainly online
savings and time deposits;
partially offset by:
- lower income from money
market investments by $26.0 million
or 76 basis points,
as a result of
lower average balances,
driven by higher
re-investment activity in
U.S. Treasuries
and loan growth
as described above, coupled
with lower yields
resulting from declining short-term market rates during

Provision for Credit Losses - Loans Held-in-Portfolio
and Unfunded Commitments
For the quarter ended
March 31, 2026, the
Corporation recorded a provision for
credit losses of $75.8
million, an increase of
$11.9
million
when compared
to
the same
quarter of
the previous
year.
The
provision for
loan
and lease
losses
was $75.7
million, an
increase of
$10.5 million,
and the
provision for
unfunded commitments
was $0.1
million, an
unfavorable variance
of $1.4
million,
mainly driven by higher unfunded commitments in the
Popular Bank.
As discussed
in Note
8 to
the Consolidated
Financial Statements,
the Corporation
estimates the
ACL by
weighting the
outputs of
optimistic, baseline, and pessimistic scenarios. During the first quarter of 2026, among the three scenarios evaluated
to estimate the
ACL, the baseline scenario
was assigned the highest probability,
followed by the pessimistic scenario,
which weight was increased
during 2025 in response to ongoing uncertainty.
The major
drivers of
the changes
in the
provision for
loan losses
during the
quarter by
business segment
when compared
to the
same quarter in 2025, were as follows:
- In the BPPR segment, the provision for
loan losses was $73.3 million, an increase of
$20.6 million when compared to the
same quarter
in 2025,
driven by
higher provision
expense for
the commercial
portfolio by
$39.1 million,
primarily due
to
loan modifications, an
additional specific reserve to
a single borrower
in the telecommunications
industry,
and higher net
charge-offs due to an impairment recorded during the quarter of $11.1 million mainly due to a commercial real
estate loan.
Both
the
borrower
with
the
specific
reserve
and
the
commercial
real
estate
loan
were
classified
as
NPLs
in
the
third
quarter of
- Higher
provisions were
partially offset
by decreases
of $15.8
million and
$4.5 million
in the
consumer
loan and leases portfolios,
respectively, showing improvement in credit quality.
- In the Popular U.S. segment, the
provision for loans losses was
$2.4 million, a decrease of
$10.1 million when compared
to the
same quarter
in 2025. The
decrease was primarily
driven by lower
provision expense in
both the commercial
and
consumer loan
portfolio, with
reductions of
$7.5 million
and $2.6
million, respectively.
The reduction
in the
commercial
loan
segment
was mainly
driven by
higher qualitative
reserves established
during the
first
quarter of
2025 to
maintain
adequate ACL coverage. The
decrease in the consumer
loan portfolio was mainly
attributable to improvements in overall
credit quality and lower ending balances.
At March 31,
2026, the total allowance
for credit losses for
loans held-in-portfolio amounted to $823.7
million, an increase of
$15.6
million when
compared to
December 31, 2025.
The ratio
of the
allowance for credit
losses to
loans held-in-portfolio was
2.10% at
March 31,
2026 versus
to 2.05%
at December
31, 2025.
Refer to
Note 8
to the
Consolidated Financial
Statements for
additional
information
on
the
Corporation’s methodology
to
estimate its
ACL.
Refer
to
the
Credit
Risk
section
of
this
MD&A
for
a
detailed
analysis of net charge-offs, non-performing assets, the allowance
for credit losses and selected loan losses statistics.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income amounted
to $165.6 million
for the
first quarter of
2026, an increase
of $13.6 million
when compared with
the
same quarter for the previous year. The variance was primarily
due to:
- higher other services fees
by $8.4 million mainly
due to $5.4 million
in higher debit
and credit card fees
and higher asset
management commissions by $1.2 million; and
- higher other operating income by
$3.9 million mainly due
to a $4.4 million increase
in earnings from an
investment under
equity method.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $467.3 million, a decrease of $3.7 million when compared to the first quarter
of 2025, mainly driven by:
- lower other
operating expenses
by $8.7
million mainly
driven by
lower reserves
for operational
losses and
lower
pension plan costs due to changes in actuarial assumptions;
114
- lower professional fees by $1.3 million due to lower
costs associated with regulatory compliance activities;
and
- net gains in other
real estate owned (OREO) by
$1.3 million due to fair
value increases as well
as higher gains on
sale;
partially offset by:
- higher technology and
software expenses, including
software amortization, by
$5.5 million mainly
due to continuing
investments in technology and transformation initiatives;
and
- higher personnel costs
of $3.4 million
mainly due to
increase in salaries
expenses of $3.9
million driven
by exempt
employees as well higher valuation of securities held
for deferred benefit plans.

Income Taxes
For the
quarter ended
March 31,
2026, the
Corporation recorded
an income
tax expense
of $46.9
million with
an ETR
of 16.0%,
compared to $45.1 million with
an ETR of 20.2% for
the same period of
year 2025.
Lower ETR when compared to
the first quarter
of 2025 is driven by higher net exempt income.
At March 31, 2026, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset amounting to $810.5 million, net of a valuation allowance of $468.3
million. The net deferred tax asset related to the U.S.
operations was $223.6 million, net of a valuation
allowance of $386.6
million.
Refer to Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information on deferred
tax asset balances.
REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS
The Corporation’s
reportable segments
for managerial
reporting purposes
consist of
Banco Popular
de Puerto
Rico and
Popular
U.S. A Corporate group
has also been defined to support the reportable
segments.
For
a
description
and
definition
of
the
Corporation’s
reportable
segments,
including
additional
financial
information
and
the
underlying management accounting process, refer
to Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
116
The corporate group reported
a net income
of $4.4 million for
the quarter ended March
31, 2026, compared with
a net loss
of $3.6
million
for
the same
quarter of
the previous
year,
mainly
due
to
higher income
from
equity
method investments.
There
were no
intercompany distributions between the U.S. subsidiaries
and the bank holding companies during the
first quarters of 2026 or 2025.
Highlights on the earnings results for the reportable
segments are discussed below:
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
The Banco
Popular de
Puerto Rico
(“BPPR”) reportable
segment’s net
income amounted
to $204.4
million for
the quarter
ended
March 31,
2026, higher
by $38.4
million when
compared to
the same
quarter of
the previous
year.
The main
drivers for
a higher
income included:
- net interest income of
$567.9 million, an increase of
$46.1 million, mainly driven by
lower deposit cost by $29.4
million or
32 basis points.
P.R.
public deposits costs, which are market linked,
decreased by $32.6 million or 66
basis points as the
cost was favorably impacted by declines in short-term market rates during
- Additionally, higher income from loans by
$20.1
million
attributable
to
loan
growth
led
by
commercial,
construction
and
mortgage
portfolios
during
2025,
which
resulted in higher average balances by
$1.6 billion when compared to the first
quarter of 2025. In addition, higher
income
from
investment securities
by $16.7
million or
16
basis points
contributed to
higher net
interest income,
due in
part to
higher investment activity in higher yielding U.S.
Treasury securities. This was partially offset by lower income from money
market investments by
$20.2 million driven
by lower average
balances by $1.2
billion driven by
the deployment of
funds
for loan growth and investments activity,
and lower yields by 78 basis points due to declining short-term market rates. Net
interest margin
expanded 22
basis points
to 3.85%
when compared
to the
same quarter
of 2025
drive by
lower deposit
costs;
- higher non-interest income by $7.3 million mainly due to higher service fees by $7.0 million mainly due to higher debit and
credit card fees due to higher transaction volume, and
higher asset management fees;
- lower
operating
expenses
by
$2.2
million
mostly
due
to
lower
operational losses
by
$2.0
million
mainly
related
to
the
mortgage servicing loss
reserves and higher gains
on repossessed unit
sales by $1.3
million, lower professional
fees by
$1.1 million, partially
offset by higher
technology and software expenses
by $1.6 million due
to continuing investments in
technology
and
transformation initiatives,
higher
personnel costs
by
$1.4
million
mainly
due
to
an
increase
in
salaries
expenses driven by exempt employees,
and higher processing and transactional fees
expenses by $1.3 million; and
- lower income tax expense by $2.9 million due
mainly to higher exempt income;
partially offset by:
- provision for credit
losses increased by
$20.6 million to
$73.3 million.
Refer to section
Provision for Credit
Losses-Loans
Held-in-Portfolio and Unfunded Commitments in this MD&A for more discussion over the drivers
of the provision for credit
losses by business segment.
Popular U.S.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the
reportable segment of Popular U.S. reported a
net income of $37.0 million, compared
with a net income of $14.8 million for the
same quarter of the previous year. The main drivers for higher net
income are the
following:
- net interest income of $111.7 million, an increase of $18.8 million, driven by higher interest income
from loans by $15.4
million or 22 basis points, primarily attributable
to loan growth coupled with lower deposit cost driven
by repricing in most
deposit products, most notably in online savings
and time deposits. Additionally, higher income from investment securities
by $3.9 million in part due to higher investment
activity in U.S. Treasury securities. This was partially offset by
lower
income from money market investments by $7.4
million due to lower average balances and an
increase in short-term
117
borrowings expense by $4.3 million resulting from
higher FHLB advances when compared
to the same period of 2025.
Net interest margin at 3.15% expanded 41
basis points, driven by the earning assets
mix and lower deposit costs;
and
- provision for loan losses was $2.4 million, a decrease
of $10.1 million when compared to the same quarter
in 2025. Refer
to section Provision for Credit Losses-Loans Held-in-Portfolio
and Unfunded Commitments in this MD&A for
more
discussion over the drivers of the provision for
credit losses by business segment;
partially offset by:
- higher income tax expense by $8.0 million due
to higher income before tax.
STATEMENT
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
Assets
The Corporation’s total
assets were $76.1
billion at March
31, 2026, compared
to $75.3 billion
at December 31,
- Higher total
assets by $782.8
million was driven
by an increase
in AFS securities
at both BPPR
and PB segments,
money market investments
and
other
assets,
partially
offset
by
a
decrease
in
HTM
securities
and
lower
loan
balances
at
PB.
Refer
to
the
Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition included in this
report and to the following narrative for
additional information.
Money market investments and investment securities
Money market investments increased by $29.2
million as of March 31,
2026, when compared to December 31,
2025, mainly driven
by
higher deposit
balances.
AFS securities
increased $1.2
billion,
driven by
investment in
U.S. treasury
securities of
$1.3 billion,
partially offset by
maturities and principal paydowns, mainly
in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and higher
unrealized losses in
AFS securities
of $37.9
million. HTM
securities decreased by
$365.0 million
driven by
maturities and
principal paydowns,
partially
offset by
the accretion of
$46.9 million of the
discount related to
U.S. Treasury securities
previously reclassified from AFS
to HTM.
Refer to Note
5 and to
Note 6 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information with
respect to the
Corporation’s
debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.
Loans
Refer to Table
4 for a
breakdown of the Corporation’s
loan portfolio. Also, refer
to Note 7 in
the Consolidated Financial Statements
for detailed information about the Corporation’s loan portfolio
composition and loan purchases and sales.
Loans held-in-portfolio
were $39.3
billion at
March 31,
2026, a
slight decrease
of $37.8
million when
compared to
December 31,
In
the PB
segment loan
balances decreased
by
$56.1 million
across the
construction, mortgage
and
consumer portfolios,
mainly
due
to
paydowns
in
the
construction
segment
and
runoff
from
the
exited
residential
mortgage
business.
In
the
BPPR
segment, loan
balances increased by
$18.3 million with
modest growth in
the mortgage
and commercial segments,
partially offset
by lower auto loans and leases lending activities.
At
March
31,
2026,
the
Corporation’s
loans
to
non-depository
financial
institutions
(‘’NDFIs’’)
amounted
to
$540.8
million,
an
decrease of $4.2 million, compared to December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Corporation’s exposure to NDFIs was composed
of approximately $266.1 million to insurance companies
for general corporate purposes unrelated to lending activities,
$105.5 million
related to mortgage
credit intermediaries, and $169.3
million to consumer and
commercial credit intermediaries. All
loans to NDFIs
are current in their contractual payments and carry a
‘pass’ rating.

Other assets amounted to

billion at March 31,
2026, an increase of
$25.8 million when compared to
December 31, 2025. The
variance
was
mainly
driven
by
an
increase
of
$18.6
million
in
investments under
the
equity
method,
primarily due
to
the
equity
pickup
from
our
investment
in
BHD,
and
an
increase
in
capitalized
software
costs
of
$10.6
million
related
to
technology
modernization, partially offset by lower prepaid taxes of $9.1 million.

Liabilities
The Corporation’s total
liabilities were $69.8 billion
at March 31,
2026, an increase of
$720.7 million, when compared to
December
31, 2025. The following is a discussion of
the significant changes in liabilities.
Deposits and Borrowings
Total Deposits
The Corporation’s deposits
totaled $67.6 billion as
of March 31,
2026, compared to $66.2
billion as of
December 31, 2025. Ending
deposit balances
increased by
$1.4 billion
mainly from
higher retail and
commercial deposits
in BPPR
in part
due to
seasonal tax
refunds. Excluding P.R.
public deposits, customer deposits increased by
$1.2 billion. Average deposits increased
by $1.1 billion, or
$383.5 million when excluding P.R. public deposits.
At the
end of
the first
quarter of
2026, Puerto
Rico public
deposits were
$19.7 billion,
representing 30%
of total
deposits and
are
expected
to
continue
to
range
in
the
short
term
between
$18
billion
and
$20
billion.
However,
the
rate
at
which
public
deposit
balances may change is uncertain and difficult to predict. The amount
and timing of any such change is likely to be impacted
by, for
example,
the level
of
federal assistance
and speed
at
which it
is distributed,
the
use
of
local funds
to
cover
federal
assistance
programs during the U.S. government shutdown, the financial condition, liquidity and cash management practices
of the Puerto Rico
Government and its instrumentalities,
and the implementation of fiscal and
debt adjustment plans approved pursuant to
PROMESA
or other actions mandated by the Fiscal Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”). Additionally,
the
Trump Administration is conducting a review of federal funding, which could entail a reduction in federal funding available for Puerto
Rico. P.R
public deposits costs
are generally indexed
to changes in
short-term market rates
with a
one-quarter lag, in
accordance
with contractual terms. As
a result, these deposits’ costs
have typically lagged variable
asset repricing. These deposits require
that
the bank pledge high credit quality securities as
collateral; therefore, liquidity risks arising from
deposit outflows are lower.
The volume and cost of P.R.
public deposits and the proportion of high-cost deposits in the U.S, directly impact the balance and mix
of earning assets and therefore represent a key
factor in the Corporation’s ability to expand its net
interest margin.
Refer to Table 5 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s deposits at March 31, 2026 and December
31, 2025.

Borrowings
The Corporation’s borrowings totaled $1.1 billion at
March 31, 2026, a decrease of $329.0 million
when compared to December 31,
The
decrease
was
mainly
related
to
lower
FHLB
advances
by
$325.0
million,
mainly
at
PB.
Refer
to
Note

to
the
Consolidated Financial
Statements for
detailed information
on the
Corporation’s borrowings.
Also, refer
to the
Liquidity section
in
this MD&A for additional information on the Corporation’s
funding sources.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity totaled $6.3 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $62.0 million when compared to December 31, 2025. The
increase was principally due to
net income for the
quarter ended March 31, 2026
of $245.7 million, coupled with
the after-tax effect
of the amortization of unrealized losses from securities previously reclassified to HTM of $37.5 million, partially offset by an increase
in
treasury stock
of
$152.4
million, mainly
due
to
common
stock
repurchases, the
common
and
preferred dividends
declared
of
$48.9 million, and
an increase in net
unrealized losses in the
portfolio of AFS
securities of $25.3
million. Refer to
the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition, Comprehensive Income and Changes in
Stockholders’ Equity for information on the composition
of stockholders’ equity.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Popular repurchased 1,555,398 shares of common stock for $155.2 million at an average
price of $134.31 per share. As of March
31, 2026, $126.0 million remained available for stock repurchase under the currently active
authorization.

CAPITAL
Regulatory Capital
The Corporation, BPPR and PB
are subject to regulatory capital
requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board.
The risk-
based
capital
standards
applicable
to
the
Corporation,
BPPR
and
PB
(“Basel

are
based
on
the
final
capital
framework for strengthening international capital standards, known
as Basel III, of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
As
of March 31, 2026, the Corporation’s, BPPR’s and

it maintains a
leverage ratio of
at
least 5%,
a common equity
Tier 1
ratio of
at least 6.5%,
a Tier

of at least
8% and a
total risk-based

10%. The
Corporation, BPPR and
PB leverage
ratio, common equity
Tier 1
ratio and
Tier 1
capital ratio,
respectively as of
March
31, 2026, continue to exceed the minimum requirements
for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III
capital rules.
The increase in the common equity Tier I capital ratio, Tier I capital ratio, and total capital ratio as of March
31, 2026 as compared to
December 31, 2025 was mainly due to
the quarter’s earnings,
and lower risk weighted assets driven by
the decrease in loans held-
in-portfolio and lower non-performing
loans held-in-portfolio, partially offset
by the repurchase of
common stock and
common stock
dividends. The decrease in the leverage ratio was driven
by higher total assets which are impacted
by zero-risk weighted assets that
did not have a significant impact on the risk
weighted assets, partially offset by the quarter’s earnings.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Market / Interest Rate Risk
The Corporation’s assets that are mainly subject to market valuation risk are debt securities classified as available-for-sale. Refer to
Notes 5 and 6 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on
the debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-
maturity portfolios.
Debt securities
classified as
available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity amounted
to
$21.7 billion
and
$7.0 billion,
respectively, as
of March 31, 2026.
Other assets subject to market risk
include mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") with
a fair value
of $94.2 million as of March 31, 2026.
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.
Management utilizes various tools to assess IRR, including Net Interest
Income (“NII”) simulation modeling, static gap analysis, and
Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) to monitor the risk arising from the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities subject to
IRR.
The
three
methodologies complement
each
other
and
are
used jointly
in
the
evaluation of
the
Corporation’s IRR.
NII simulation
modeling, by legal entity and on a consolidated basis, is prepared for a five-year period, which in conjunction
with the EVE analysis,
provides management a better view of long-term
IRR.
The Corporation processes NII
simulations under interest rate
scenarios in which the
yield curve is assumed
to rise and
decline by
the same magnitude
(parallel shifts). The
rate scenarios considered in
these market risk
simulations include instantaneous parallel
changes of
-100,
-200, +100,
and +200
basis points
during the
succeeding twelve-month
period. Assumptions
included in
these
analyses
include
that
the
balance
sheet
remains
flat,
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
and
do
not
contemplate
actions
that
management
may
engage
in
as
a
response
to
future
changes
in
interest
rates.
Additionally,
the Corporation
is also
subject to
the risk
inherent in
the use
of different
rate indexes
for the
repricing of
assets and
liabilities, as well as
the risk of pricing lags
due to contractual or timing
differences between the market and
management response
to
changes in
the
rate environment.
These forward-looking
computations are
management’s best
estimate based
on known
and
available information and actual results may differ.
The following
table presents
the results
of the
simulations at
March 31,
2026 and
December 31,
2025, assuming
a static
balance
sheet and parallel changes over flat spot rates over
a one-year time horizon:

As
of
March
31,
2026,
NII
simulations
showed
that
the
Corporation’s
sensitivity
position
was
asset
sensitive.
Compared
to
the
results as of December 31, 2025, the variation in sensitivity and the resulting profile was
mainly due to an increase in U.S. Treasury
Bills as a result
of a rise in
non-interest bearing and low-cost interest-bearing deposits in
Puerto Rico offset in
part by the purchase
of
two-to-three-year
U.S.
Treasury
Notes.
The
profile
reflects
that
in
rising
rate
scenarios,
Popular’s
net
interest
income
would
increase
during
the
one-year
horizon
due
to
the
larger
volume
of
assets
repricing
and
generating
more
interest
income,
while
interest expense increases modestly due to the high
proportion of low-cost deposits.
The
Corporation’s
loan
and
investment
portfolios
are
subject
to
prepayment
risk.
Prepayment
risk
also
could
have
a
significant
impact on the duration of mortgage-backed securities
and collateralized mortgage obligations.
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
and
economic
hedges
of
the
related
market
risk
with
“TBA”
(to-be-announced)
market
transactions. In
addition, BPPR
uses forward
contracts or
TBAs that
have characteristics
similar to
that of
the forecasted
security
and its conversion timeline to hedge its securitization
pipeline.
At March 31, 2026, the Corporation held trading securities with a fair value of $30.4 million,
representing 0.04% of the Corporation’s
total assets, compared with $36.6 million and 0.05%,
respectively, at December 31, 2025.
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
the
5-day
net
value-at-risk
(“VAR”),
with
a
confidence
level
of
99%.
The
VAR
measures
the
maximum estimated loss that may occur over a
5-day holding period, given a 99% probability. .
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.
Liquidity
Liquidity Risk Management Process
The Corporation
has adopted
policies and
limits to
monitor the
Corporation’s liquidity
position and
that of
its banking
subsidiaries.
Refer to
the Enterprise
Risk Management
section of
Management’s Discussion
and Analysis
included in
the 2025
Form 10-K
for
information on the framework
in place to monitor,
review, and approve
policies to measure, limit and
manage funding activities and
strategies
impacting
liquidity
risk.
Additionally,
contingency
funding
plans
are
used
to
model
various
stress
events
of
different
magnitudes that
affect different
time horizons,
to assist
management in
evaluating the
size of
the liquidity
buffers needed
if those
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.
The objective
of effective
liquidity management
is to
ensure that
the Corporation
has sufficient
127
liquidity
to
meet
all
its
financial
obligations,
finance
expected
future
growth,
fund
planned
capital
distributions
and
maintain
a
reasonable safety margin for cash needs under both
normal and stressed market conditions.
Sources of Liquidity
Deposits, including
customer deposits,
brokered deposits
and public
funds deposits,
continue to
be the
most significant
source of
funds for the Corporation, representing
89% and 88% of funding of the Corporation’s total assets at March 31, 2026 and December
31, 2025,
respectively. The
ratio of
total ending
loans to
deposits was 58%
and 59%
at March
31, 2026
and December
31, 2025,
respectively.
In addition to
traditional deposits, the
Corporation maintains borrowing arrangements, which
amounted to $1.1
billion
in
outstanding
balances
at
March
31,
2026
(December
31,
2025
$1.4
billion).
A
detailed
description
of
the
Corporation’s
borrowings,
including
their
terms,
is
included
in
Note
13
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.
The
following
sections
provide
further
information
on
the
Corporation’s
major
funding
activities
and
needs,
as
well
as
the
risks
involved in these activities.
Banking Subsidiaries
Primary
sources of
funding
for the
Corporation’s
banking subsidiaries
(BPPR and
PB
or,
collectively,
“the banking
subsidiaries”)
include
retail,
commercial
and
public
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
Bank of
New York
(the “FRB”)
and has
a considerable
amount of
collateral pledged
that
can be used to raise funds under these facilities.
At March 31,
2026, the Corporation’s
available liquidity increased to
$27.7 billion from
$27.0 billion on
December 31, 2025.
During
the first
quarter of 2026,
the Corporation had
no material incremental
use of
its available liquidity
sources. The liquidity
sources of
the Corporation at March 31, 2026 are presented

and repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios and operational
expenses. Also, the
banking subsidiaries assume liquidity
risk related to collateral
posting requirements for certain
activities mainly
in
connection
with
contractual
commitments,
recourse
provisions,
servicing
advances,
derivatives
and
credit
card
licensing
agreements.
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.
Deposits are
a key
source of
funding. Refer
to Table
5 for
a breakdown
of deposits
by major
types. Core
deposits are
generated
from a large base of consumer, corporate and public sector customers. Core deposits
include certificates of deposit under $250,000,
all
interest-bearing
transactional
deposit
accounts,
non-interest-bearing
deposits,
and
savings
deposits.
Core
deposits
exclude
brokered
deposits
and
certificates
of
deposit
over
$250,000.
Core
deposits,
excluding
P.R.
public
deposits,
which
are
fully
collateralized, have
historically provided
the Corporation
with a
sizable source
of relatively
stable and
low-cost funds.
P.R.
public
deposits, while linked to market interest rates,
provide a stable source of funding with
an attractive earning spread. As of March
31,
2026, total Puerto Rico public sector deposits were
$19.7 billion, compared to $19.4 billion at
December 31, 2025.
Core deposits
represent 91%
of total
deposits at
$61.7 million,
as of
March 31,
2026, compared
with 92%
at
$60.9 billion
as
of
December
31,
Core
deposits
financed
85%
of
the
Corporation’s
earning
assets
at
March
31,
2026,
compared
to
85%
at
December 31, 2025.
The
Corporation
had
$1.0
billion
in
brokered
deposits
at
March
31,
2026,
which
financed
approximately
1%
of
its
total
assets
(December 31, 2025 - $1.0 billion and 1%,
respectively).
The distribution by maturity of certificates of deposit with denominations of $250,000 and over at March 31, 2026 is presented in the
table that follows:

As of March
31, 2026, the
banking subsidiaries had sufficient
current and projected
liquidity sources to meet
their anticipated cash
flow obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments,
in the ordinary course of business and have sufficient
liquidity
resources
to
address
stress
events.
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
would
be
severely
constrained
if
the
banking
subsidiaries
are
unable
to
maintain
access
to
funding
or
if
adequate
funding
is
not
available
to
accommodate future
financing needs
at
acceptable interest
rates. The
banking subsidiaries
also
are required
to
deposit cash
or
qualifying
securities
to
meet
margin
requirements
on
repurchase
agreements,
deposit
agreements
and
other
collateralized
borrowing facilities. 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 or collateral requirements and would need
to
rely
more
heavily
on
alternative
funding
sources.
In
these
scenarios,
the
Corporation’s
financial
flexibility
and
ability
to
grow
revenues may not increase proportionately to cover costs and
profitability would be adversely affected.
The Corporation considers balances in
excess of $250,000 to have a
higher potential liquidity risk.
Table
12 reflects the aggregate
balance in
deposit accounts
in excess
of $250,000,
including collateralized
public funds
and deposits
outside of
the U.S.
and its

Collateralized public funds, as presented in Table 12, represent public deposit balances from governmental
entities in the
U.S.
and
its
territories,
including
Puerto
Rico
and
the
United
States
Virgin
Islands,
collateralized
based
on
such
jurisdictions’
applicable collateral requirements.

Bank Holding Companies
The principal
sources of
funding for
the BHCs,
which are
Popular,
Inc.
(holding company
only) and
PNA, include
cash on
hand,
investment
securities,
dividends
received from
banking
and
non-banking subsidiaries,
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 imposed
by banking
regulators, including
the FED
and the
NYDFS, that may limit the ability of those subsidiaries
to act as a source of funding to the BHCs.
The principal uses of these funds include the repayment of debt, interest payments to holders of senior debt and junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures (related to trust preferred securities), the payment of dividends to common stockholders,
repurchases
of the Corporation’s securities and capitalizing its subsidiaries.
The outstanding balance of notes
payable at the BHCs
amounted to $595 million at
March 31, 2026 and
$595 million at December
31, 2025.
The contractual maturities of the BHCs notes payable
at March 31, 2026 are presented in Table 13.

Later years
198,406
Total
$
595,361
131
As of
March 31,
2026, the
BHCs had
cash and
money markets
investments totaling
$1.6 million
and borrowing
potential of
$165
million
from
its
secured
facility
with
BPPR.
The
BHCs’
liquidity
position
continues
to
be
adequate
with
sufficient
cash
on
hand,
investments and
other sources of
liquidity that are
expected to be
sufficient to
meet all
interest payments and
dividend obligations
for the
foreseeable future.
Additionally,
the Corporation’s
latest quarterly
paid dividend
was $0.75
per share
or approximately
$48
million per quarter.
The BHCs have in
the past borrowed in the
corporate debt market primarily to finance
their non-banking subsidiaries and refinance
debt
obligations.
These
sources
of
funding
are
more
costly
given
that
two
out
of
three
principal
credit
rating
agencies
rate
the
Corporation’s debt
securities below
“investment grade”.
The Corporation
has a
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.
Non-Banking Subsidiaries
The
principal
sources
of
funding
for
the
non-banking
subsidiaries
include
internally
generated
cash
flows
from
operations,
loan
sales, repurchase agreements, capital
injections and borrowed funds
from their direct
parent companies or the
holding companies.
The principal uses of funds for the non-banking
subsidiaries include repayment of maturing debt,
operational expenses and payment
of dividends to the BHCs.
Dividends
During the
quarter ended March
31, 2026,
the Corporation
declared cash
dividends of
$0.75 per
common share
outstanding ($49
million in the aggregate). The dividends for the Corporation’s
Series A preferred stock amounted to $0.4 million.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the
BHCs received dividends and distributions amounting
to $175 million from BPPR, and
$12 million
from its
other non-banking
subsidiaries. Dividends
from BPPR
constitute Popular,
Inc.’s primary
source of
liquidity.
In
addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026,
PIBI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Popular, Inc., had no dividends.
In
addition to
regulatory
limits previously
discussed, the
ability
of a
bank
subsidiary to
up-stream dividends
to
its
BHC could
be
impacted by
its financial
performance and
capital, including
tangible and
regulatory capital,
thus potentially
limiting the
amount of
cash up
streamed to
the BHCs
from the
banking subsidiaries.
This could,
in turn,
affect BHC’s
ability to
declare dividends
on its
outstanding common
and preferred
stock, repurchase
its securities
or meet
its debt
obligations. At
March 31,
2026, BPPR
could
declare
a
dividend
of
up
to
approximately
$13
million
without
prior
approval
of
the
Federal
Reserve
Board
due
to
its
retained
income, declared dividend activity and transfers to statutory reserves
over the measurement period. In addition, pursuant to the FRB
requirements, PB may not declare or pay a dividend
without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
Board and the NYSDFS.
Other Funding Sources and Capital
In addition to cash reserves held at
the FRB that totaled $4.7 billion at March
31, 2026, debt securities provide an additional source
of
liquidity,
which
may
be
realized
through
either
securities
sales,
collateralized
borrowings
or
repurchase
agreements.
The
Corporation’s debt
securities portfolio consists
primarily of liquid
U.S. government debt
securities and U.S.
government sponsored
agency mortgage-backed securities that can
be used to raise
funds in the repo
markets. The availability of repurchase
agreements
would be
subject to
having sufficient
unpledged collateral
available at
the time
the transactions
are consummated,
in addition
to
overall liquidity
and risk
appetite of
the various
counterparties. Refer
to
Table
10 for
details of
the Corporation’s
unpledged debt
securities and available credit facilities with the FHLB and
the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank.
A substantial portion of
these
debt
securities
could
be
used
to
raise
financing
in
the
U.S.
money
markets
or
from
secured
lending
sources,
subject
to
changes in their fair market value and customary adjustments
(haircuts).
Additional
liquidity
may
be
provided
through
loan
maturities,
prepayments
and
sales.
The
loan
portfolio
provides
a
source
of
collateral to
secure the
available credit
facilities with
the FHLB
and the
discount window
of the
Federal Reserve
Bank. The
loan
portfolio
can
also
be
used
to
obtain
funding
in
the
capital
markets.
Mortgage
loans
and
some
types
of
consumer
loans,
have
secondary markets which the Corporation could
use.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments
132
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
with off-balance
sheet risk
to meet
the financial
needs
of
its
customers.
Refer
to
Note
18
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
for
information
on
the
Corporation’s
commitments to extent credit and other non-credit commitments.
Other types
of off-balance
sheet arrangements
that the
Corporation enters
in the
ordinary course
of business
include derivatives,
operating
leases
and
provision
of
guarantees,
indemnifications,
and
representation
and
warranties.
Refer
to
Note
17
to
the
Consolidated Financial
Statements for
a detailed
discussion related
to the
Corporation’s guarantees,
indemnifications obligations,
and representation and warranties arrangements.
The Corporation monitors its cash requirements, including
its contractual obligations and debt commitments.
Financial Information of Guarantor and Issuers of Registered
Guaranteed Securities
The principal sources of funding for Popular, Inc. Holding Company (“PIHC”) and Popular North America, Inc. (“PNA”) have included
dividends received
from their
banking and
non-banking subsidiaries subject
to statutory
provisions that
limit dividends
paid by
the
banking subsidiary without regulatory approval,
asset sales and proceeds from the issuance
of debt and equity.
The Corporation ("PIHC") is
the parent holding company
of Popular North America (“PNA”)
and operates financial services through
its subsidiaries. PNA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Popular, Inc., manages entities such as Equity One, Inc., and PB, including PB’s
subsidiaries: Popular Equipment Finance, LLC,
Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A., and E-LOAN, Inc.
PNA has issued junior subordinated debentures guaranteed by PIHC (the “obligor group”), purchased by statutory
trusts established
by the Corporation using proceeds from trust preferred
securities (“capital securities”) and common securities
of the trusts.
PIHC guarantees
the junior
subordinated debentures
issued by
PNA. If
PIHC fails
to make
interest payments
on the
debentures
held by the trust,
the trust will not
distribute payments on the
capital securities. The guarantee
ranks subordinate and junior
in right
of
payment to
all
other liabilities
of
PIHC and
equally with
all
other PIHC-issued
guarantees, allowing
direct
legal
action against
PIHC without involving other entities.
Funding
for
PIHC
and
PNA
includes
dividends
from
subsidiaries,
asset
sales,
and
proceeds
from
debt
and
equity
issuance.
Statutory provisions limit the dividends an insured
depository institution can pay to its holding
company without regulatory approval.
The summarized financial
information below shows
the combined financial
position of the
obligor group as
of March
31, 2026
and
December 31, 2025,
and the results
of their operations
for the
quarters ended March
31, 2026 and
March 31,
- Excluded are
investments and equity in earnings from subsidiaries
and affiliates outside the obligor group.
Intercompany balances
and transactions
within the
obligor group
have been
eliminated. Material
amounts due
from, due
to, and
transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates are shown separately. Related party transactions

Risk to Liquidity
The
Corporation’s
liquidity
may
come
under
pressure
if
it
experiences
significant
unexpected
cash
outflows
due
to
deposit
withdrawals, which could arise
from various factors like
economic conditions, loss of
depositor confidence, competition, exogenous
events, regulatory requirements or changes, a
downgrade in credit rating, or other events
causing counterparties to avoid exposure.
Investors should refer to Liquidity Risks section of “Part I, Item 1A”
of 2025 Form 10-K for an additional discussion of liquidity
risks to
which the Corporation is subject.
Credit Risk
Geographic and Government Risk
The Corporation is exposed to geographic and government risk.
The Corporation’s assets and revenue composition by geographical

Risk
section

Business
Risk
Section
of

for
an
additional
discussion
on
how
the
Corporation is
impacted
by
global
and
local
economic
and
market
conditions, including
weakness
in
the
economy,
particularly in Puerto
Rico, where a
significant portion of
our business is
concentrated. This section
also addresses how
our credit risk and credit
losses can increase to the extent
our loans are concentrated on borrowers engaged in
the same or similar
activities or in borrowers who as a group
may be uniquely or disproportionately affected by certain
economic or market conditions.
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
A
significant portion
of
our financial
activities and
credit
exposure is
concentrated in
the
Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico
(“Puerto
Rico”) which has faced severe economic and fiscal
challenges in the past and may face additional
challenges in the future.
Economic Performance
The latest estimates from the
Puerto Rico Planning Board (the
“Planning Board”) indicate that real
GNP grew by 2.1%
during fiscal
year
2024
(July 2023-June
- and
by
1.1% in
fiscal
year
2025 (July
2024-June 2025).
For fiscal
year 2026
(July
2025-June
2026),
the
Planning
Board
forecasts
more
modest
GNP
growth
of
0.5%.
Meanwhile,
the
Puerto
Rico
Economic
Activity
reflected a 1.1% year-over-year increase in December 2025, with no change on a month-over-month basis. While this index is not a
direct measure of real GNP, it serves as an indicator of ongoing economic activity.
In 2021
and 2022,
inflation rose
sharply in
the U.S.
and Puerto
Rico due
to post-pandemic
demand and supply
chain disruptions.
Inflation
began
to
decrease
by
mid-2022
as
the
Federal
Reserve
raised
interest
rates,
largely
stabilizing
by
September
2024,
leading to a
series of rate
reductions by the Federal
Reserve for the
first time in
four years. As
of March 2026, the
U.S. Consumer
Price Index
reflected a
3.3% year-over-year increase,
which, while below
peak 2022
levels, remains above
the Federal
Reserve’s
2% target. The year-over-year
increase accelerated from 2.4%
in February 2026 to
3.3% in March
2026, primarily driven by
higher
energy and
gasoline prices
resulting from
the recent
geopolitical conflict involving
Iran. In
Puerto Rico,
the Consumer
Price Index
reflected a year-over-year
increase of 2.5%
in March 2026,
up from 2.3%
in February 2026.
It is still
too early to
determine the full
extent to which the conflict involving Iran and its
indirect impacts may impact the global and Puerto
Rico economies.
Fiscal Challenges of Puerto Rico and its Municipalities
As
Puerto Rico’s
economy contracted
in the
2000s, public
debt
increased rapidly
due to
borrowing to
cover
deficits to
pay
debt
service, pension benefits,
and other expenditures.
By 2016, the
government had over
$120 billion in
combined debt and
unfunded
pension liabilities, lost access to capital markets, and
faced a fiscal crisis.
In
response,
the
U.S.
Congress
enacted
PROMESA
in
June
PROMESA
established
an
Oversight
Board
with
significant
control over Puerto Rico’s
fiscal and economic affairs,
including those of its public
corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities
(collectively, “PR Government Entities”).
In August 2025, President Donald J. Trump dismissed six of the seven members of
the Oversight Board, reportedly due to inefficient
leadership and excessive spending. Three of the dismissed members subsequently filed suit in federal
court challenging the legality
135
of their dismissal. On October 3, 2025, the court issued a preliminary injunction that effectively reinstated such members and barred
the seating of
replacement members while the case
proceeds. Such ruling was
appealed to the
United States Court of
Appeals for
the First Circuit
on December 3, 2025,
and the appeal remains
pending as of March
31, 2026. It is
still too early to
determine what
impact these developments may have on Puerto Rico’s fiscal
and economic affairs.
Under PROMESA, the Oversight
Board will remain
in place until market
access is restored and
balanced budgets are achieved for
at
least
four
consecutive
years.
PROMESA
also
established
two
mechanisms
for
the
restructuring
of
the
obligations
of
PR
Government Entities:
(a) Title
III, an
in-court process
akin to
that of
the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code
and which
permits adjustment
of a
broad range
of
obligations, and
(b) Title
VI,
a largely
out-of-court process
through which
a supermajority
of creditors
can
accept
modifications to debt and bind holdouts.
Since
2017,
Puerto
Rico
and
several
of
its
instrumentalities
have
availed
themselves
of
these
mechanisms.
The
Puerto
Rico
government exited Title III in March 2022, and several instrumentalities, such as the Government Development Bank and the Puerto
Rico Highways and Transportation
Authority have also completed
debt restructurings under Titles
III or VI
of PROMESA. However,
the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority is still undergoing
its debt restructuring.
Puerto
Rico's economic
difficulties
have also
impacted its
municipalities. Historically,
the central
government provided
significant
municipal subsidies. However, these have decreased pursuant to fiscal measures required by the Oversight Board. This decline has
been partly
offset by
federal disaster
and COVID-relief
funding received
by municipalities
in recent
years. The
latest Puerto
Rico
fiscal plan proposes a
restructured grant system to enhance
municipal services and encourage accountability through
performance
metrics.
Municipalities
are
subject
to
PROMESA,
and
the
Oversight
Board
has
required
certain
municipalities
to
submit
fiscal
plans
and
annual budgets
for review
and approval.
Municipalities are
also required
to seek
Oversight Board
approval to
issue, guarantee
or
modify
their
debts
and
to
enter
into
significant
contracts.
To
date
no
municipality
has
availed
itself
of
the
debt
restructuring
mechanisms available to them under PROMESA.
Exposure of the Corporation
The credit quality of BPPR’s
loan portfolio is closely tied to the
economic conditions in Puerto Rico. Deterioration in the Puerto
Rico
economy
could
potentially
increase
delinquencies
and
charge-offs,
thereby
impacting
the
Corporation’s
financial
health.
The
Corporation has direct exposure to P.R. Government Entities, which are mainly concentrated in obligations from various Puerto Rico
municipalities. Additionally,
the Corporation
holds loans
and securities
insured by
P.R.
Government Entities,
such as
the Housing
Finance
Authority,
whose
ability
to
honor
guarantees
depends
on
its
financial
condition.
BPPR’s
commercial,
mortgage,
and
consumer loan portfolios are also exposed to risks from private borrowers who are service providers or have other relationships with
the Puerto
Rico government
and government employees
who could
be negatively
affected by
Puerto Rico’s
fiscal challenges.
For
further
discussion
of
the
Corporation’s
direct
and
indirect
exposure
to
the
Puerto
Rico
government and
its
instrumentalities and
municipalities, please refer to Note 18 – Commitments
and Contingencies to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
The
Corporation
also
maintains
significant
deposits
from
P.R.
Government
Entities,
with
future
balances
subject
to
various
uncertainties.
Further
information
on
Puerto
Rico
Government
deposits
is
included
in
Note
12
–
Deposits
to
the
Consolidated
Financial Statements.
United States Virgin Islands
The Corporation has
operations in the
United States Virgin
Islands (“USVI”) and
has credit exposure
to USVI
government entities.
For
further
discussion
of
the
Corporation’s
direct
and
indirect
exposure to
USVI
government
entities,
please
refer
to
Note
18
–
Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets (“NPAs”)
include primarily past-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 16.
During
the
first
quarter
of
2026,
the
Corporation’s
credit
quality
metrics
remained
stable.
The
Corporation
continues
to
closely
monitor
the
economic
landscape and
borrower performance,
as
macro-economic uncertainty
and
increased volatility
remain key
136
considerations. Management believes that the
improvements in risk management practices over
recent years and the
overall credit
risk profile of the loan portfolio position the Corporation
to continue to operate successfully in the current environment.
Total
NPAs
of $503.8 million
as of
March 31,
2026 decreased by
$37.0 million when
compared with December
31, 2025. BPPR’s
NPLs
decreased
by
$38.4
million,
primarily driven
by
reductions in
commercial, consumer
and
mortgage
NPLs
of
$17.6 million,
$17.5 million
and $3.0
million, respectively.
The decrease
in commercial
NPLs was
mainly driven
by
an
$11.1
million charge-off
related to a
commercial real estate
facility classified as
NPL in the
third quarter of
- The improvement
in consumer NPLs
was
primarily due to a $16.8 million
reduction in auto NPLs driven by increased
payment activity. Popular U.S.
NPLs decreased by $1.8
million, mostly driven by a decrease of $3.7
million in the mortgage NPLs.
On March 31, 2026,
the ratio of NPLs
to total loans held-in-portfolio was
1.17%, compared to 1.27% on
December 31, 2025. Other
real estate owned loans (“OREOs”) totaled $45.7
million, an increase of $3.2 million from December
31, 2025.
The Corporation’s commercial loan
portfolio secured by real
estate (“CRE”) amounted to
$11.2 billion
on March 31,
2026, of which
$3.2 billion was secured with owner occupied properties,
compared with $11.2 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, on December 31,
CRE NPLs
amounted to $58.6
million at March
31, 2026, compared
with $76.0 million
at December 31,
2025, driven by
the $11.
1
million net
charge off
on the
CRE facility
discussed above.
The CRE
NPL ratios
for the
BPPR and
Popular U.S.
segments were
0.83% and 0.28%, respectively, on March 31, 2026, compared with 1.23% and
0.25%, respectively, on December 31, 2025.
The non-owner
occupied CRE
portfolio was
$5.5 billion
at March
31, 2026,
split between
$3.4 billion
in BPPR
and $2.2
billion in
Popular U.S. This portfolio is diversified across sectors: retail (33%), hotels (19%), and office space (12%),
which together represent
two-thirds of
total non-owner
occupied CRE
exposure. Specifically,
office space
leasing accounts
for just
1.7% ($673.6
million) of
the total loan portfolio, mainly comprising mid-rise properties with an average loan size of $3 million, and is well diversified by tenant
type.
Within CRE, the
commercial multi-family portfolio is
$2.4 billion (approximately 6%
of total loans),
concentrated in New
York
Metro
($1.4 billion), South Florida ($664.6
million) and Puerto Rico ($238.5 million) regions. In the New
York Metro, there is no exposure to
rent-controlled buildings,
and rent-stabilized units make up less than
40% of total units, with most originated after 2019.
In addition to
the NPLs included in
Table
16, on March
31, 2026 there were
$593.2 million of
performing loans, mostly commercial
loans, which in management’s opinion, are currently subject to potential future classification as non-performing (December 31, 2025
- $499.6 million).
The following table presents the Corporation’s NPAs as of March 31, 2026 and December
31, 2025:

[1] There were no non-performing loans held-for-sale
as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
[2] 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
balances
include
$43 million
of residential
mortgage
loans
insured
by
FHA
or
guaranteed
by
the
VA
that
are
no
longer
accruing
interest
as
of
March
31,
2026
(December
31,
2025
$47
million).
Furthermore, the Corporation
has $26 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,
2025 -
$27 million).
For the quarter ended
March 31, 2026, total
inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio,
excluding consumer loans, increased by
$4.2 million,
compared to the
same period in
- Inflows of
NPLs held-in-portfolio at the
BPPR segment increased by
$6.4 million, compared
to the same period in 2025, mainly driven by higher mortgage inflows
by $7.2 million. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the Popular
U.S. segment decreased by $2.3 million from the
same period in 2025, mainly driven by lower
commercial inflows by $2.1 million.
Tables 17 to 22 present the Corporation’s inflows to NPLs for the quarters ended March 31,

Allowance for Credit Losses Loans Held-in-Portfolio
The ACL
represents management’s
estimate of
expected credit
losses through
the remaining
contractual life
of the
different loan
segments, impacted by expected prepayments. The ACL
is maintained at a sufficient
level to provide for estimated credit
losses on
collateral dependent loans as well as loans modified
for borrowers with financial difficulties separately from the remainder
of the loan
portfolio. The Corporation’s
management evaluates the adequacy
of the ACL
on a quarterly
basis. In this
evaluation, management
considers current
conditions, macroeconomic
economic expectations through
a reasonable
and supportable
period, historical
loss
experience,
portfolio composition
by
loan
type
and
risk
characteristics,
results
of
periodic credit
reviews
of
individual loans,
and
regulatory requirements, amongst 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
recalibration
of
statistical
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, and
in the
condition of
the various
markets in
which collateral
may be
sold, may
also affect
the required
141
level of
the allowance
for credit
losses. Consequently,
the business
financial condition,
liquidity,
capital, and
results of
operations
could also be affected.
At March 31, 2026, the
ACL increased by $15.6 million from December 31,
2025 to $823.7 million. The increase in
ACL was driven
by
a combination
of changes
in
the economic
scenario,
loan volumes
and increases
in
qualitative reserves.
The
ACL for
BPPR
increased by $14.3 million
when compared to December 31,
2025 due to a
$22.3 million increase in reserves for
commercial loans
driven
by
higher
specific
reserves
for
a
single-borrower
exposure
in
non-accrual,
a
$11.1
million
net
charge
off
related
to
a
commercial real
estate facility
classified as
NPL in
the third
quarter of
2025, and
other loan
modifications. The
ACL for
mortgage
loans increased by $3.1 million, mostly
due to changes in the
macroeconomic scenarios. These increases were partially offset
by a
$12.4 million decrease
in the ACL
for consumer loans,
mainly in the
auto portfolio, reflecting
improvements in credit
quality. In
the
PB segment, the ACL remained stable, increasing by
$1.4 million from the previous quarter.
The
Corporation’s
ratio
of
the
allowance
for
credit
losses
to
loans held-in-portfolio
was
2.10%
on
March
31,
2026
compared
to
2.05% on December 31, 2025.
The ratio of the allowance for
credit losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at
179.81%, compared to
162.15% on December 31, 2025.
Refer to Note 8 – Allowance for credit losses – loans
held-in-portfolio to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, and to the Provision
for Credit Losses section of this MD&A for additional
information.
Tables
24 and
25 detail
the allowance
for credit
losses by
loan categories
and the
percentage it
represents of
total loans
held-in-
portfolio and
NPLs. The
breakdown is
made for
analytical purposes,
and it
is not
necessarily indicative
of the
categories in
which
future loan losses may occur.

The (unaudited) interim Consolidated Financial Statements are, in the opinion of management, a fair statement of the results
for the
periods reported.
The consolidated statement
of financial condition
presented as
of December 31,
2025 was
derived from
audited
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation
for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Certain
information
and
notes
to
the
financial
statements
disclosures
which
would
normally
be
included
in
financial
statements
prepared in
accordance with
Accounting Principles
Generally Accepted
in the
United States
of America
(U.S. GAAP),
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,
2025,
included in
the 2025
Form 10-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.

FASB ASU 2025-05,
Financial Instruments -
Credit Losses (Topic 326)
- Measurement of Credit
Losses for Accounts
Receivables and Contract
Assets
The
Financial Accounting
Standards Board
("FASB")
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
("ASU")
2025-05
in
July
2025,
which
permits
entities
to
elect
a
practical
expedient
when

for
current
accounts
receivable
and
current
contract
assets
arising from
transactions accounted
for under Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC") Topic
606, Revenue from Contracts
with
Customers.
This
practical
expedient
establishes
that,
in
developing
reasonable
and
supportable
forecasts
as
part
of
estimating
expected
credit
losses,
entities
assume
that
current
conditions
as
of
the
balance
sheet
date
do
not
change
for
the
remaining life of the asset.
January 1, 2026
The
Corporation
was
not
impacted
by
the
adoption
of
this
ASU
since
the
update
does
not
require
accounting
changes
or
new

practical
expedient was not applied.
FASB ASU 2024-04, Debt

Induced Conversions of
Convertible Debt
Instruments
The
FASB
issued
ASU
2024-04
in
November
2024,
which
clarifies
the
requirements
for
determining
whether
certain
settlements
of
convertible
debt
instruments should
be accounted
for as
an
induced
conversion.
Also
it
makes
additional
clarifications
to
assist
stakeholders in
applying the
guidance. The
ASU
clarifies
that
the
incorporation,
elimination,
or
modification
of
a
volume-
weighted
average
price
("VWAP")
formula
does
not
automatically
cause
a
settlement
to
be
accounted
for
as
an
extinguishment
and
that
the
induced
conversion
guidance
applies to a convertible debt
instrument that
is not currently convertible
as long as
it had
a substantive
conversion feature as
of both
its
issuance
date
and
the
date
the
inducement offer is accepted.
January 1, 2026
The
Corporation
was
not
impacted
by
the

of

Debt securities not due on a single contractual maturity date,
such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period
of final
contractual maturity.
The expected
maturities of
collateralized mortgage
obligations and
certain other
securities may
differ
from their contractual maturities because they may be
subject to prepayments or may be called
by the issuer.
Credit Quality Indicators
The following
describes the
credit quality
indicators by
major security
type that
the Corporation
takes into
account to
develop the
estimate of the allowance for credit losses for investment
securities held-to-maturity.
As discussed in
Note 2 of
the 2025 Form
10-K, U.S. Treasury
securities carry an explicit
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
(“ACL”) for these securities has been established.
At March 31, 2026
and December 31, 2025, the
“Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and
political subdivisions” classified as held-to-
maturity,
included
securities
issued
by
municipalities
of
Puerto
Rico
that
are
generally
not
rated
by
a
credit
rating
agency.
The
Corporation performs periodic credit quality
reviews of these securities and internally
assigns standardized credit risk ratings based
on
its
evaluation. For
the
definitions
of
the
obligor
risk
ratings, refer
to
the
Credit
Quality section
of
Note
8
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements.
This
includes
an
amortized
cost
of
$
7.1
million
of
general
and
special
obligation
bonds
issued
by
three
municipalities
of
Puerto
Rico,
of
which
$
6.3
million
have
a
“Pass”
rating,
that
are
payable
primarily
from
certain
property
taxes
imposed by the issuing municipality (compared to $
8.7
million and $
7.9
million, respectively, at December 31, 2025).
At
March
31,
2026,
the
portfolio
of
“Obligations
of
Puerto
Rico,
States
and
political
subdivisions”
also
included
$
35.1
million
in
securities
issued
by
the
Puerto
Rico
Housing
Finance
Authority
(“HFA”),
a
government
instrumentality,
for
which
the
underlying
source of payment is second mortgage loans in Puerto Rico
residential properties (not the government), but for which HFA, provides
a guarantee
in the
event of default
and upon the
satisfaction of certain
other conditions (December
31, 2025 -
$
36
million). These
26
securities
are
not
rated
by
a
credit
rating
agency.
Refer
to
Note
18
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
for
additional
information on the Corporation’s exposure to the Puerto
Rico Government.
A
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 the
Puerto Rico
Oversight
Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) could
adversely affect the value of these securities, resulting in losses
to the
Corporation.
At March
31, 2026,
the portfolio
of “Obligations
of Puerto
Rico, States
and political
subdivisions” had
no
securities issued
by the
HFA
for which
the underlying
source of
payment is
U.S. Treasury
securities (December
31, 2025
- $
6.8
million). These
securities
were fully redeemed during this quarter. The Corporation applies a zero-credit loss assumption for these securities, and no ACL has
been established for these securities
given that U.S. Treasury
securities carry an explicit guarantee from
the U.S. Government, are
highly rated by major rating agencies, and have
a long history of no credit losses.
Delinquency status
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were
no
securities held-to-maturity in past due or non-performing
status.
Allowance for credit losses on debt securities held-to-maturity
The
allowance
for
credit
losses
related
to
the
Obligations
of
Puerto
Rico
and
the
States
and
Political
subdivisions
securities
at
March 31, 2026 was $
5.9
million (December 31, 2025 - $
5.8
million).

The Corporation has
designated loans classified as
collateral dependent for
which the ACL
is measured based
on the fair
value of
the collateral less
cost to sell,
when foreclosure is
probable or 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,
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.
Loans in non-accrual status with
no allowance at March 31,
2026 include $
126
million in collateral dependent loans
(December 31,
2025 - $
142
million). The Corporation recognized $
million in interest income on non-accrual loans during the quarter ended March
31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $
million).
The following tables present the amortized cost basis
of collateral-dependent loans, for which the ACL was measured
based on the
fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, by
class of loans and type of collateral as of March

Note 8 – Allowance for credit losses – loans held-in-portfolio
The
Corporation follows
the current
expected credit
loss
(“CECL”) model
to
establish and
evaluate the
adequacy of
the ACL
to
provide for
expected losses
in the
loan portfolio.
This model
establishes a forward-looking
methodology that
reflects the
expected
credit losses over the lives
of financial assets starting when such
assets are first acquired or originated.
In addition, CECL provides
that
the
initial ACL
on PCD
financial
assets be
recorded as
an
increase to
the
purchase price,
with subsequent
changes to
the
allowance
recorded
as
a
credit
loss
expense.
The
provision
for
credit
losses
recorded
in
current
operations
is
based
on
this
methodology.
Loan losses
are charged
and
recoveries are
credited to
the ACL.
The
Corporation’s modeling
framework includes
internally
developed
quantitative
models
that
generate
lifetime
default
and
prepayment
estimates
as
well
as
other
loan
level
techniques to estimate
loss severity.
These models combine credit
risk factors which
include the impact
of loan modifications,
with
macroeconomic expectations to derive the lifetime
expected loss.
At March
31, 2026, the
Corporation estimated
the ACL by
weighting the outputs
of optimistic, baseline,
and pessimistic scenarios.
The
weightings applied
are subject
to
evaluation on
a
quarterly basis
as
part
of
the ACL’s
governance process.
During the
first
quarter
of
2026,
among
the
three
scenarios
evaluated
to
estimate
the
ACL,
the
baseline
scenario
was
assigned
the
highest
probability, followed by the pessimistic scenario,
where weight was increased during 2025 in response
to ongoing uncertainties.
At March 31,2026, the ACL increased by $
million from December 31, 2025 to $
million.
The following
tables present
the changes
in the
ACL of
loans held-in-portfolio
and unfunded
commitments for
the quarters
ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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 tables present the amortized cost basis, net of unearned income, of
loans held-in-portfolio based on the Corporation’s
assignment of
obligor risk
ratings as
defined at
March 31,
2026 and
December 31,
2025 and
the gross
charge-offs
recorded by
vintage year. For
the definitions of the obligor risk ratings,
refer to the Credit Quality section of
Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K:

agreement
and
any
other
amount
or
obligation
owed
in
respect
of
any

Note 17 – Guarantees
The Corporation
has obligations
upon the
occurrence of
certain events
under financial
guarantees provided
in certain
contractual
agreements.
Also,
from
time
to
time,
the
Corporation
securitized
mortgage
loans
into
guaranteed
mortgage-backed
securities
subject in certain instances, to
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
- Also,
from time
to time,
the Corporation
may
sell, in
bulk sale
transactions, residential
mortgage loans
and Small
Business Administration
(“SBA”) commercial
loans subject
to
credit
recourse
or
to
certain
representations
and
warranties
from
the
Corporation
to
the
purchaser.
These
representations
and
warranties may
relate, for
example, to
borrower creditworthiness,
loan documentation,
collateral,
prepayment and
early payment
defaults. The
Corporation may
be required
to
repurchase the
loans under
the credit
recourse agreements
or
representation and
warranties.
At March 31, 2026,
the Corporation serviced $
414
million (December 31, 2025
- $
429
million) 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 the interest, if applicable.
During the quarter
ended
March
31,
2026,
the
Corporation
repurchased
approximately
$
0.2
million
of
unpaid
principal
balance
in
mortgage
loans
subject
to
the
credit
recourse
provisions
(March
31,
2025
$
0.3
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, 2026,
the Corporation’s liability
established to cover the
estimated credit loss
exposure related to loans
sold or serviced
with credit recourse amounted to $
2
million (December 31, 2025 - $
3
million).
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.
Servicing agreements
relating to
the mortgage-backed
securities programs
of FNMA,
FHLMC 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, 2026,
the
Corporation serviced $
8.0
billion in mortgage loans for third parties, including the loans serviced with credit recourse (December 31,
2025 - $
8.2
billion). The Corporation generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from
the mortgage owner,
from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage
loan is foreclosed or,
in the case of FHA/VA
loans, under the applicable FHA
and
VA
insurance
and guarantees
programs. However,
in the
meantime, the
Corporation must
absorb the
cost
of the
funds
it
advances
during the
time the
advance is
outstanding. The
Corporation must
also bear
the costs
of attempting
to collect
on delinquent
and
defaulted
mortgage
loans.
In
addition,
if
a
defaulted
loan
is
not
cured,
the
mortgage
loan
would
be
canceled
as
part
of
the
foreclosure proceedings and the
Corporation would not
receive any future servicing
income with respect
to that loan.
At March 31,
2026,
the
outstanding balance
of
funds
advanced
by
the
Corporation under
such
mortgage
loan servicing
agreements was
$
million
(December
31,
2025
$
million).
To
the
extent
the
mortgage
loans
underlying
the
Corporation’s
servicing
portfolio
experience
increased delinquencies,
the
Corporation would
be
required to
dedicate
additional cash
resources to
comply
with its
obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional
administrative costs related to increases in collection
efforts.

Note 18 – Commitments and contingencies
Off-balance sheet risk
The Corporation
is a
party to
financial instruments
with off-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 with
off-balance sheet credit
risk, whose contract
amounts represent potential credit
risk as of
the end of
the
periods presented were as follows:

Corporation maintained a
reserve of
$
15
million and
$
14
million, respectively,
for
potential losses associated with unfunded loan commitments
related to commercial and construction lines of
credit.
Other commitments
At March
31, 2026
and December
31, 2025,
the Corporation
also maintained
other non-credit
commitments for
$
5
million and
$
7
million, respectively, 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 28
to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Puerto
Rico
has
faced
significant
fiscal
and
economic
challenges
for
over
a
decade.
In
response
to
such
challenges,
the
U.S.
Congress
enacted
PROMESA
in
2016,
which,
among
other
things,
established
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
availed themselves
of debt
restructuring proceedings
under PROMESA.
As of
the date
of this
report, while
municipalities have been 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,
2026, the
Corporation’s direct
exposure to
the Puerto
Rico
government and
its
instrumentalities and
municipalities
totaled
$
390
million,
of
which
$
340
million
were
outstanding
($
391
million
and
$
342
million
at
December
31,
2025).
Of
the
outstanding amount, $
333
million consists of loans and $
7
million are securities ($
333
million and $
9
million at December 31, 2025).
Substantially all
of the
amount outstanding
at March
31, 2026
and December
31, 2025
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, 2026, approximately
77
% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities
was
concentrated in
the municipalities
of San
Juan, Guaynabo,
Carolina and
Caguas. The
Corporation’s exposure
at March
31, 2026,
78
included
approximately $
million
in
Automated
Clearing House
(“ACH”) transaction
settlement exposure,
none
of
which was
outstanding.

In addition, at March
31, 2026, the Corporation had
$
201
million in loans insured
or securities issued by
Puerto Rico governmental
entities but for
which the principal
source of
repayment is non-governmental
($
209
million at December
31, 2025). These
included
$
166
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,
2025
$
167
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 upon the
satisfaction of certain other
conditions. The Corporation also
had at March
31, 2026, $
35
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
upon the satisfaction of certain other
conditions
(December 31,
2025 -
$
36
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. The
Corporation does
not consider
the
government guarantee
when
estimating the
credit
losses
associated
with
this
portfolio.
Although
the
Governor
is
currently
authorized
by
local
legislation
to
impose
a
temporary
moratorium on the financial obligations of the HFA, a moratorium on
such obligations has not been imposed as of
the date hereof.
BPPR’s
commercial loan
portfolio also
includes loans
to
private borrowers
who
are service
providers, lessors,
suppliers or
have
other relationships with the government. For example, at March 31, 2026 BPPR had
$
million ($
million at December 31,
- in
exposure
to
borrowers
that
are
independent
power
producers
that
generate
and
sell
energy
under
Power
Purchase
Agreements to the Puerto Rico
Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”),
which is undergoing a debt
restructuring process under Title
III
of PROMESA.
Borrowers with
exposure to
the government
could be
negatively affected
by the
Commonwealth’s fiscal
crisis and
the
ongoing
Title
III
proceedings
under
PROMESA.
Similarly,
BPPR’s
mortgage
and
consumer
loan
portfolios
include
loans
to
government
employees
and
retirees,
which
could
also
be
negatively
affected
by
fiscal
measures
such
as
employee
layoffs
or
furloughs or reductions in pension benefits.
In
addition,
$
2.6
billion
of
residential
mortgages
and
$
84.8
million
commercial
loans
were
insured
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government or
its agencies
at March
31, 2026
(compared to
$
2.5
billion and
$
80.5
million, respectively,
at December
31, 2025).
The Corporation also had
U.S. Treasury and
obligations from the U.S.
Government, its agencies or
government sponsored entities
within the
portfolio of
available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity securities as
described in
Note 5
and 6
to the
Consolidated Financial
Statements.
At March
31, 2026,
the Corporation
had operations
in the
United States
Virgin Islands
(the “USVI”)
and had
$
28
million in
direct
exposure to USVI government
entities (December 31, 2025
- $
28
million). 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
79
debt
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.
At March 31, 2026, the Corporation had
operations in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”)
and it had a loan portfolio amounting to
$
197
million comprised
of various
retail and
commercial clients,
compared to
a loan
portfolio of
$
195
million at
December 31,
- At
March 31, 2026, the Corporation had
significant exposure to a single borrower
in the BVI.
Legal Proceedings
The nature of Popular’s
business ordinarily generates claims, litigation, arbitration,
regulatory and governmental investigations, and
legal
and
administrative
cases
and
proceedings
(collectively,
“Legal
Proceedings”).
Popular’s
Legal
Proceedings
may
involve
various lines
of business
and include
claims relating
to contract,
torts, consumer
protection, securities,
antitrust, employment,
tax
and
other
laws.
The
recovery
sought
in
Legal
Proceedings
may
include
substantial
or
indeterminate
compensatory
damages,
punitive
damages,
injunctive
relief,
or
recovery
on
a
class-wide
basis.
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 the Corporation and
its stockholders
to do so.
On at least
a quarterly basis,
Popular assesses its
liabilities and contingencies
relating to outstanding Legal
Proceedings
utilizing the most current 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 to reflect any relevant
developments, as appropriate. 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 any
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 $
6.3
million as of
March 31,
- In
certain 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 period.
80
Note 19 – Non-consolidated variable interest entities
The Corporation is involved with
two
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.
The
Corporation
has
also
engaged
in
securitization
transactions
with
FHLMC,
but
considers
its
exposure
in
the
form
of
servicing
fees
and
servicing
advances
not
to
be
significant
at
March
31,
2026
.
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
Consolidated
Statements
of
Financial
Condition
as
available-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
21
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
for
additional
information on the debt securities outstanding at March 31,
2026 and December 31, 2025, which are classified
as available-for-sale
and trading securities in
the 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
in
non-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, 2026 and December
31, 2025.

The size of
the non-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 $
5.9
billion at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $
6.0
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, 2026 and December
31, 2025, 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.
ASU 2009-17 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 these non-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,

Note 21 – Fair value measurement
ASC Subtopic
820-10 “Fair
Value
Measurements and
Disclosures” establishes
a fair
value hierarchy
that prioritizes
the inputs
to
valuation techniques
used to
measure fair
value into
three levels
in order
to increase
consistency and
comparability in
fair value
measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy is broken
down into three levels based on the reliability
of inputs as follows:
- Level 1
- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to
access at
the measurement date.
Valuation
on these
instruments does not
necessitate a
significant degree of
judgment
since valuations are based on quoted prices that
are readily available in an active market.
- Level 2
- Quoted prices other than those included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 inputs
include
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities in
markets that
are
not active,
or other
inputs that
are
observable or
that can
be corroborated
by
observable
market data for substantially the full term of the
financial instrument.
- Level
3
Inputs
are
unobservable
and
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement.
Unobservable
inputs
reflect
the
Corporation’s own judgements 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 2025 Form 10-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.

Note 22 – 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, 2026
and December
31, 2025, 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.

Note 25 - Stock-based compensation
On May 12,
2020, the stockholders of
the Corporation approved the
Popular, Inc.
2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan,
which permits the
Corporation to
issue several
types of
stock-based compensation
to employees
and directors
of the
Corporation and/or
any of
its
subsidiaries (the
“2020 Incentive
Plan”). The
2020 Incentive
Plan replaced
the Popular,
Inc. 2004
Omnibus Incentive
Plan, which
was in effect
prior to the adoption of
the 2020 Incentive Plan (the
“2004 Incentive Plan” and, together
with the 2020 Incentive
Plan,
the “Incentive Plan”). Participants under the Incentive Plan are designated by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (or its delegate, as determined by the Board). Under the Incentive Plan, the Corporation has issued restricted stock and
performance shares to its employees and restricted
stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
to its directors.
The restricted
stock granted
under the
Incentive Plan
to employees
becomes 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
granted prior to 2021 was determined based on a two-prong vesting schedule. These grants include ratable vesting over five or four
years commencing at the date of grant (the “graduated vesting portion”) with a portion vested at termination of employment after
attainment of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service (“the retirement vesting portion”).
The graduated vesting portion 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. Restricted stock granted on or after 2021 have ratable vesting in equal annual
installments over a period of 4 years or 3 years, depending on the classification of the employee. The vesting schedule 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
granted
under
the
Incentive
Plan
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
Return
on
Average
Tangible
Common Equity
(“ROATCE”).
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 ROATCE
metric is considered to
be a performance condition
under ASC 718.
For equity settled
awards based
on
a
performance
condition,
the
fair
value
is
determined
based
on
the
probability
of
achieving
the
ROATCE
goal
as
of
each
reporting period.
The TSR
and ROATCE
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 (ROATCE) 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.

following
table

restricted
stock
and

shares
activity
under
the
Incentive
Plan
for

of
management and employees.

Note 26 – Income taxes
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the
Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $
million with an effective tax rate
(“ETR”) of
%, compared to $
million with an ETR of
% for the same period of year 2025. Lower
ETR when compared to
the first quarter of 2025 is driven by higher net
exempt income. The Puerto Rico statutory tax
rate is
% for both periods.
Deferred income taxes reflect the
net tax effects
of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for
financial reporting
purposes and
their tax
bases. Significant
components of
the Corporation’s
deferred tax
assets and
liabilities at

Condition as $

(December

million),
reflecting
the
aggregate
deferred tax
assets or
liabilities of
individual tax-paying
subsidiaries
of the
Corporation in
their
respective tax
jurisdiction, Puerto
Rico or the United States.
At
March 31,
2026, the
net deferred
tax assets
of the
U.S. operations
amounted to
$
million with
a valuation
allowance of
approximately $
million, for net deferred
tax assets after valuation
allowance of $
million. The Corporation evaluates the
realization of the deferred tax asset by taxing jurisdiction on a quarterly basis.
The U.S. Operations have generated taxable income
each of the last three
years. The financial results for
the first quarter of 2026
continue to show an
upward trend similar to 2024
and
These
financial
results
are
objectively
verifiable
positive
evidence.
Additionally,
the
Corporation
considered
as negative
evidence
inconsistency
in
performance
trends,
including lower
than
anticipated
results
in
recent
periods.
Also,
management
considered
the
uncertainty
in
predicting
future
taxable
income,
as
given
the
impact
of
external
factors
such
as
changes
in
macroeconomic
conditions,
geopolitical
issues,
and
shifts
in
monetary
policy.
In
addition,
management
evaluated
the
expiration
period of the NOLs carried forward which begin
to expire in 2028
As of
March 31,
2026, after
weighting all
positive and
negative evidence, the
Corporation concluded that
it is
more likely
than not
that $
million of
the deferred
tax assets
from the
U.S. operations, comprised
mainly of
net operating losses,
will be
realized.
The
Corporation
based
this
determination
on
its
estimated
taxable
income
available
to
realize
the
deferred
tax
assets
for
the
remaining carryforward
periods, together
with the
historical level
of
book income
adjusted by
permanent differences
and taxable
income.
Management
will
continue
to
monitor
and
review
the
U.S.
operation’s
results,
including
recent
earnings
trends,
pre-tax
earnings forecasts,
new tax
initiatives, and
performance indicators, such
as net
income versus
forecast, targeted
loan growth,
net
interest
income
margin,
changes
in
deposit
costs,
allowance
for
credit
losses,
charge-offs,
NPLs
inflows,
and
NPA
balances.
Significant changes,
or
a combination
of changes,
could
positively or
negatively impact
the amount
of
deferred tax
assets to
be
realized in the future.
At March 31, 2026, the
Corporation’s net deferred tax assets related to
its Puerto Rico operations amounted to $
million.
The
Corporation’s Puerto Rico Banking operation has a historical record of profitability. This is considered as strong objectively verifiable
positive
evidence
that
outweighs
any
negative
evidence
considered
by
management
in
the
evaluation
of
the
realization
of
the
deferred tax assets.
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 assets
of the Puerto Rico Banking operations will
be realized.
The Holding Company operation has been in a cumulative loss position in recent years. Management expects these losses will be a
trend
in
future
years.
This
objectively
verifiable
negative
evidence is
considered
by
management strong
negative
evidence that
suggests that
income in
future years
will be
insufficient to
support the
realization of
all deferred
tax assets.
After weighting
of all
positive
and
negative evidence
Management concluded,
as
of
the reporting
date,
that
it
is
more
likely
than
not that
the
Holding
Company will not be
able to realize any
portion of the deferred tax
assets. Accordingly, the
Corporation has maintained a valuation
allowance on the deferred tax assets of $
million as of March 31, 2026.
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,
2026, the
following years
remain subject
to
examination in
the U.S.
Federal jurisdiction, 2022 and thereafter; and in
the Puerto Rico jurisdiction, 2019 and thereafter.

Note 28 – Segment reporting
The
Corporation’s
corporate
structure
consists
of
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.
The chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) of
the Corporation is
the Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”) who
utilizes net income
as
one of
the segment
profitability measures,
to evaluate
the performance
of each
reportable segment and
assess where
to allocate
resources effectively.
The CEO
receives
profitability reports
that
include net
income
per segment,
net
interest income
and
other
income
and expense
categories. The
CODM uses
the segment’s
net income
and components
of net
income, including
segment
revenues and
expenses to
assess performance
and to
manage important
aspects by
each reportable
segments,
such as
human
capital, investment in technology, making budget allocations,
as well as other strategic decisions.
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico:
The Banco
Popular de
Puerto Rico
reportable segment
includes commercial,
consumer and
retail banking
operations, as
well as
mortgage and auto lending operations conducted
at BPPR, including U.S. based activities conducted
through its New York
Branch.
Other financial
services within the
BPPR segment
include the trust
service units
of BPPR,
asset management services
of Popular
Asset Management and
the brokerage operations
of Popular Securities,
and the insurance
agency and reinsurance
businesses of
Popular Insurance, Popular Risk Services, Popular Life
Re, and Popular Re.
Popular U.S.:
Popular U.S. reportable segment
consists of the
banking operations of Popular
Bank (PB), Popular Insurance
Agency, U.S.A.,
and
PEF.
PB
operates through
a retail
branch network
in the
U.S. mainland
under the
name of
Popular,
and equipment
leasing and
financing services through PEF.
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 BHD.
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. Assets
representing transactions
between reportable
segments
or
the
Corporate
group
are
also
eliminated in

are influenced
by the
level of
business
spending and
investment, consumer
income, spending
and savings,
capital market
activities, competition,
customer preferences,
interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates
on competing products.
The Corporation
operates in
a highly
regulated environment
and may
be adversely
affected by
changes in
federal and
local laws
and
regulations.
Also,

as
well
as
with
non-traditional financial
service
providers
and
technology
companies
that
provide
electronic

internet-based
financial
solutions
and
services,
could
adversely
affect
its
profitability.
The
Corporation
continuously
monitors
general
business
and
economic
conditions,
industry-related
indicators
and
trends,
competition, interest rate volatility, credit quality indicators, loan, and deposit demand, operational and systems efficiencies, revenue

solutions,
including
an
enterprise
resource
planning
(“ERP”)
system, which are expected to improve the efficiency of
certain financial and related business processes.
On January
1, 2026,
the Corporation
implemented a
new ERP
system, replacing
our previous
ERP system
that had
supported a
significant portion
of our
transactional records
and general
ledger. As
a result
of this
implementation, we modified
certain existing
controls
and
implemented
new
controls
and
procedures to
maintain
appropriate
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
and
will
continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness
of these controls.
Except as described above, there have
been no changes in the
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting
(as such term
is defined
in Rules
13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under
the Exchange
Act) that
occurred during
the quarter
ended March
31, 2026
that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting.
