SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation,” “Popular,” “we,” “us,” “our”) (NASDAQ:BPOP) reported net income of $248.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $218.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Ignacio Alvarez, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The third quarter was another strong quarter. We achieved net income of $248.1 million, driven by a reserve release of $61 million. The release reflects strong credit quality performance as well as a positive economic outlook. We continued to see higher credit and debit card spending, strong auto and mortgage originations as well as higher deposits. During the quarter we also continued to return capital to our shareholders, completing our $350 million accelerated repurchase program and announcing the redemption of $187 million in high-cost trust preferred securities. On October 15, 2021 we also completed a bolt-on acquisition of a national equipment leasing platform that complements our existing healthcare lending vertical. I am extremely proud of the work our team has accomplished during 2021 as we continue to serve our clients and communities.”

Significant Events

Financial Highlights

For the third quarter of 2021, the Corporation recorded net income of $248.1 million, compared to a net income of $218.1 million for the previous quarter. The third quarter’s results include a release in the allowance for credit losses of $61.2 million driven by improving credit quality and the improved macroeconomic outlook. Net Interest income was $489.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to higher average earning assets and higher income from the loans issued under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), offset in part by a lower discount amortization of purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans. Net interest margin decreased 14 basis points to 2.77%. Total assets grew by $1.5 billion from the previous quarter, reflecting an increase in deposits across various sectors, principally from the Puerto Rico public sector.

Acquisition of K2 Capital Group LLC

On October 15, 2021, Popular Equipment Finance, LLC (“PEF”), a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Popular Bank (“PB”), completed the acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Minnesota-based K2 Capital Group LLC’s (“K2”) equipment leasing and financing business (the “Acquired Business”). PEF made a payment to K2 at closing of approximately $159 million in cash, representing a premium of approximately $40 million over the book value of K2’s net assets. An additional approximately $29 million in earnout payments could be payable to K2 over the next three years, contingent upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon financial targets during such period.

Specializing in the healthcare industry, the Acquired Business provides a variety of lease products, including operating and capital leases, and also offers private label vendor finance programs to equipment manufacturers and healthcare organizations. The acquisition provides PB with a national equipment leasing platform that complements its existing healthcare lending business.

As part of the transaction, PEF acquired approximately $119 million in net assets that consisted mainly of capital leases. All of K2’s former employees, including its management team, became PEF employees at the closing of the transaction. The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination.

Capital Actions

Accelerated Share Repurchase

On September 9, 2021, the Corporation completed its previously announced accelerated share repurchase program for the repurchase of an aggregate $350 million of Popular’s common stock. Under the terms of the accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”), on May 4, 2021, the Corporation made an initial payment of $350 million and received an initial delivery of 3,785,831 shares of Popular’s Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”). The transaction was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. As a result of the receipt of the Initial Shares, the Corporation recognized in shareholders’ equity approximately $280 million in treasury stock and $70 million as a reduction in capital surplus. Upon the final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Corporation received an additional 828,965 shares and recognized $61 million as treasury stock with a corresponding increase in its capital surplus account. The Corporation repurchased a total of 4,614,796 shares at an average purchase price of $75.84 under the ASR Agreement.

Redemption of Trust Preferred Securities

On September 30, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had sent a redemption notice to The Bank of New York Mellon, the Property Trustee for Popular Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), to redeem, on November 1, 2021, all outstanding 6.70% Cumulative Monthly Income Trust Preferred Securities (the “Capital Securities”) issued by the Trust (liquidation amount of $25 per security and amounting to $186,663,800 (or $181,063,250 after excluding Popular’s participation in the Trust of $5,600,550) in the aggregate). The redemption price for the Capital Securities will be equal to $25 per security plus accrued and unpaid distributions up to and excluding the redemption date in the amount of $0.139583 per security, for a total payment per security in the amount of $25.139583. Upon redemption, Popular intends to apply for delisting of the Popular Capital Trust I (NASDAQ: BPOPN) from the Nasdaq Global Select Market

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis – Non-GAAP financialmeasure

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, is presented with its different components in Table D and E for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and comparable periods. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this presentation provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison of revenues arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

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

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $489.4 million compared to $487.8 million in the previous quarter, an increase of $1.6 million. The total net impact on net interest income of the third quarter having one more day than the second quarter of 2021 is estimated at $3.8 million. Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the third quarter of 2021 was $536.3 million, a decrease of $4.9 million when compared to $541.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest income on a taxable equivalent is related to lower exempt income mainly from mortgage-backed securities. On a taxable equivalent basis, the total net impact on net interest income of the third quarter having of one more day than the second quarter of 2021 is estimated at $4.1 million.

The net interest margin decreased 14 basis points to 2.77% compared to 2.91% in the previous quarter. The decrease in the net interest margin is due to a higher proportion of money market and investment securities, which carry a low yield, resulting from a higher volume of deposits in the quarter, lower discount amortization of PCD loans, partially offset by higher loan fees related to loans issued under the SBA PPP and a lower cost of deposits. On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 3.04% compared to 3.22% in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 18 basis points. The main variances in net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis were:

Lower interest income from money market investments, trading and investment securities by $7.7 million due<br>to lower volume and yield of mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by a higher volume of lower yielding U.S. Treasury notes

Partially offset by:

Higher interest income from loans by $1.5 million mainly due to the following:
Higher interest income from commercial loans driven by higher interest income and fees from PPP loans by<br>$8.1 million and the impact of one more day in the quarter or $1.9 million, offset in part by a lower discount amortization on PCD loans of approximately $9.3 million; and

auto and lease financing continuing its positive trend increasing $147 million in average loan balances and<br>reflecting an increase in interest income of $1.8 million. The decrease in yield of the portfolio is driven by lower amortization on a previously purchased auto loans portfolio Partially offset by:
Lower interest income from mortgage loans due to lower average volume resulting from continued amortization of<br>the portfolio at Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”); and
--- ---
lower interest income from consumer loans, mainly credit cards, due to the reversal last quarter of<br>$1.6 million from the reserve for uncollectible interest.
--- ---
Lower interest expense on deposits by $1.1 million resulting from a lower cost by 3 basis points driven by a<br>higher volume of low yielding deposits, reduction of costs in several non-maturity deposit products and renewals of time deposits in a lower interest rate environment. These positive variances in deposit cost<br>were partially offset by higher volume of interest-bearing deposits by $2.8 billion.
--- ---

The Corporation recognized income of $22.0 million related to loans issued under the SBA PPP program during the third quarter, compared to $13.9 million in the previous quarter. These loans carried a yield of approximately 10.10% during this quarter, including the amortization of fee income received under the SBA PPP program, compared to 4.45% last quarter. At September 30, 2021, the Corporation had unamortized fee income related to the SBA PPP program of $40.0 million and outstanding loan balances of $669.8 million.

Net interest income for the BPPR segment amounted to $419.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, flat quarter over quarter. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 2.75%, a decrease of 16 basis points when compared to 2.91% for the previous quarter. As discussed above, net interest margin was negatively impacted by a higher volume of money market and investment securities, lower amortization of discount on PCD loans, partially offset by higher fees resulting from the forgiveness and amortization of SBA PPP loans of approximately $8.1 million and lower deposit cost. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.17%, compared to 0.18% reported in the second quarter. Total cost of deposits for the quarter was 0.13%, compared to 0.14% reported in the second quarter of 2021.

Net interest income for the PB segment was $80.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $78.7 million during the previous quarter. Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.36% higher than the 3.33% the previous quarter. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.56%, compared to 0.60% in the previous quarter, decreasing for the eighth consecutive quarter. Total cost of deposits for the quarter, including demand deposits, was 0.43%, compared to 0.47% reported in the second quarter of 2021.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased by $14.8 million to $169.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $154.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The variance in non-interest income was primarily driven by:

higher other service fees by $4.1 million mainly due to higher insurance fees by $1.6 million, higher<br>other fees by $1.5 million mostly related to loan syndication activities and higher credit card fees by $0.7 million mainly in interchange income and late fees; and
higher other operating income by $10.0 million mostly due to a gain of $7.0 million recognized by BPPR<br>as a result of the sale and partial leaseback of two corporate office buildings and higher net earnings from the combined portfolio of investments under the equity method by $3.0 million.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $388.2 million, an increase of $20.0 million from the second quarter of 2021. The variance in operating expenses was driven primarily by:

higher personnel cost by $3.4 million due to higher salaries as a result of salary and annual merit<br>increases granted during the quarter;
higher professional fees by $3.6 million mainly due to higher advisory expenses related to corporate<br>initiatives;
--- ---
higher business promotion expense by $1.6 million mainly due to promotional events during the quarter;<br>
--- ---
higher FDIC deposit insurance expense by $1.4 million mainly due to higher average total assets;<br>
--- ---
lower other real estate owned (OREO) net benefit by $2.6 million mainly due to lower gain on sale of<br>mortgage properties;
--- ---
higher credit and debit card processing, volume, interchange and other expenses by $2.0 million mainly due<br>to higher volume of transactions; and
--- ---
higher other operating expenses by $4.3 million due to higher printing and supplies cost by<br>$1.1 million and lower gain on sale of repossessed auto units by $1.4 million.
--- ---

Full-time equivalent employees were 8,342 as of September 30, 2021, compared to 8,439 as of June 30, 2021.

For a breakdown of operating expenses by category refer to Table B.

Income taxes

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $83.5 million, compared to $73.1 million for the previous quarter. The increase in income tax expense was mainly attributable to higher income before tax during the third quarter of 2021 and lower exempt income. The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the third quarter of 2021 was 25%, flat when compared with the previous quarter. The ETR of the Corporation is impacted by the composition and source of its taxable income.

Credit Quality

During the third quarter of 2021, the Corporation continued to exhibit favorable credit quality and low credit costs. Early delinquencies and NCOs, remained at relatively low levels when compared to the trend for the past 10-years, although higher than the prior quarter. We will continue to closely monitor COVID-19 pandemic related risks and the effects of the receding stimulus on economic conditions and on borrower performance. However, management believes that the improvement over the last few years in the risk profile of the Corporation’s loan portfolios positions Popular to operate successfully under the current environment.

The following presents credit quality results for the third quarter of 2021:

At September 30, 2021, total non-performing loans held-in-portfolio decreased by $52.3 million from June 30, 2021. BPPR’s NPLs decreased by $47.9 million, driven by lower commercial and mortgage NPLs by<br>$34.3 million and $16.1 million, respectively. The commercial NPLs decrease was mainly due to repayment activity, coupled with charge-offs of $7.6 million related to certain collateral dependent loans, while the mortgage NPLs decrease<br>was due to lower inflows for the quarter. PB’s NPLs decreased by $4.4 million, mostly related to a $5.9 million commercial loan pay-off. At September 30, 2021, the ratio of NPLs to total<br>loans held-in-portfolio was 2.2%, compared to 2.4% in the second quarter of 2021.
Inflows of NPLs<br>held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, decreased by $43.7 million quarter-over-quarter. In BPPR, total inflows decreased by $37.0 million, mostly driven<br>by lower commercial inflows of $32.2 million, as the prior quarter included the inflow of a single $32.4 million relationship. Mortgage inflows decreased by $4.8 million from the prior quarter, as inflows continue trending lower than pre-pandemic levels. NPL inflows at PB decreased by $6.6 million during the quarter, mostly due to lower commercial inflows.
--- ---

5

NCOs experienced a negative variance of $10.1 million from a net recovery of $1.3 million in the second<br>quarter of 2021 to charge-offs of $8.8 million this quarter. BPPR ‘s NCOs increased by $10.8 million, primarily driven by higher commercial NCOs by $14.2 million partially offset by lower mortgage NCOs by $3.0 million. The<br>increase reflected in the commercial NCOs was mostly driven by two commercial loans with aggregate charge-offs of $7.6 million, combined with the effect of recoveries of $7.9 million in the prior period from the resolution of a non-performing relationship. During the third quarter of 2021, the Corporation’s ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans<br>held-in-portfolio was 0.12%, compared to (0.02)% in the second quarter of 2021. Refer to Table M for further information on net charge-offs and related ratios.<br>
At September 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) decreased by $67.2 million, or<br>8.6%, from the second quarter of 2021 to $718.6 million. The ACL incorporated updated macroeconomic scenarios for Puerto Rico and the United States, which continued to show a positive outlook for the economy. In BPPR, the ACL decreased by<br>$45.1 million mainly driven by changes in the macroeconomic scenarios, particularly certain income-related variables, and credit quality. The allowance for the PB segment decreased by $22.1 million mainly driven by a reduction in the<br>qualitative reserve for commercial real estate loans, also influenced by the changes in the macroeconomic scenarios. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans<br>held-in-portfolio was 2.49% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 2.70% in the previous quarter. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 113.6%, compared to 114.7% in the previous quarter.
--- ---
Given that any one economic outlook is inherently uncertain, the Corporation leverages multiple scenarios to<br>estimate its ACL. The ACL is estimated by weighting the outputs of optimistic, baseline and pessimistic scenarios. Among the three scenarios used to estimate the ACL, the baseline is assigned the highest probability, followed by the pessimistic<br>scenario given the uncertainties in the economic outlook and downside risk. The current baseline forecast continues to show a favorable economic scenario. The 2021 forecasted GDP growth is at 6.4% for U.S. and 3.8% for P.R., consistent with the<br>previous 2021 forecast of 6.8% and 3.8%, respectively. The forecasted U.S. unemployment rate average for 2021 of 5.5% remained consistent with the previous estimate of 5.4%. In the case of P.R., the forecasted unemployment rate average for 2021 of<br>8.2% showed a slight improvement when compared to the previous forecast of 8.4%. Average unemployment rate in P.R. is expected to continue declining through 2022, which is now forecasted at 7.2%, improving from the previous forecast of 7.3%.<br>
--- ---
The provision for credit losses for the loan portfolios for the third quarter of 2021 reflected a benefit of<br>$58.6 million, compared to a benefit of $17.5 million in the previous quarter, reflecting changes in the macroeconomic outlook, as well as credit quality trend. The provision for the BPPR segment was a benefit of $36.0 million, a<br>favorable variance of $13.5 million compared to the previous quarter, while the provision expense for the PB segment was a benefit of $22.7 million, a favorable variance of $27.6 million from the previous quarter.<br>
--- ---
The provision for unfunded commitments for the third quarter of 2021 reflected a benefit of $1.5 million,<br>compared to an expense of $0.4 million during the previous quarter. The provision for credit losses in our investment portfolio was a benefit of $1.0 million, compared to an expense of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. The<br>provision for unfunded loan commitments, provision for credit losses on our loan and lease portfolios and provision for credit losses on our investment portfolio are aggregated and presented in the provision for credit losses caption in our<br>Statement of Operations.

Stockholders’ equity 5,982,971 5,814,614 5,912,085

Total assets increased by $1.5 billion from the second quarter of 2021, driven by:

an increase of $2.1 billion in debt securities available-for-sale, mainly due to purchases of U.S. treasury securities, partially offset by paydowns of agency mortgage-backed securities;

partially offset by:

a decrease of $0.3 billion in cash and money market investments due to purchases of debt securities available-for-sale; and
a decrease in loans<br>held-in-portfolio by $0.2 billion mainly due to the forgiveness of approximately $0.4 billion in PPP loans during the quarter. Excluding the decrease in the<br>PPP portfolio, loan balances increased by approximately $0.2 billion mainly in the commercial and auto loan portfolios in BPPR.
--- ---

Total liabilities increased by $1.4 billion from the second quarter of 2021, mainly due to higher Puerto Rico public sector deposits by $0.7 billion and higher retail and commercial demand deposits by $0.5 billion at BPPR.

Stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $168.4 million from the second quarter of 2021, principally due to net income for the quarter of $248.1 million, partially offset by declared dividends of $36.3 million on common stock, $0.3 million in dividends on preferred stock and lower accumulated unrealized gains on debt securities available-for-sale by $47.0 million.

Common equity tier-1 ratio (“CET1”), common equity per share and tangible book value per share were 17.36%, $74.66 and $66.01, respectively, at September 30, 2021, compared to 16.55%, $71.82 and $63.24 at June 30, 2021. Refer to Table A for capital ratios.

[2] It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or<br>guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90 days or more as opposed to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. The balance of these loans includes $12 million at September 30,<br>2021, related to the rebooking of loans previously pooled into GNMA securities, in which the Corporation had a buy-back option as further described below (June 30, 2021 - $15 million; September 30,<br>2020 - $161 million). Under the GNMA program, issuers such as BPPR have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be<br>reflected (rebooked) on the financial statements of BPPR with an offsetting liability. While the borrowers for our serviced GNMA portfolio benefited from the moratorium, the delinquency status of these loans continued to be reported to GNMA without<br>considering the moratorium. These balances include $350 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of September 30, 2021 (June 30, 2021 - $363 million;<br>September 30, 2020 - $318 million). Furthermore, the Corporation has approximately $53 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,<br>it is the Corporation’s policy to exclude these balances from non-performing assets (June 30, 2021 - $56 million; September 30, 2020 - $60 million).
