Forward-Looking Statements
This
Form 10-Q
contains “forward-looking
statements” within
the meaning
of the
U.S. Private
Securities Litigation
Reform Act
of
1995,
including,
without
limitation,
statements
about
Popular,
Inc.’s
(the
“Corporation,”
“Popular,”
“we,”
“us,”
“our”)
business,
financial condition, results
of operations, plans,
objectives and future
performance. These statements
are not
guarantees of future
performance,
are
based
on
management’s
current
expectations
and,
by
their
nature,
involve
risks,
uncertainties,
estimates
and
assumptions. Potential
factors, some
of which
are beyond
the Corporation’s
control, could
cause actual
results to
differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation the effect
of competitive and
economic factors, and our
reaction to those factors,
the adequacy of
the allowance for loan
losses, delinquency
trends, market
risk and
the impact
of interest
rate changes
(including on
our cost
of deposits),
capital markets
conditions, capital
adequacy
and
liquidity,
and
the
effect
of
legal
and
regulatory
proceedings
and
new
accounting
standards
on
the
Corporation’s
financial condition
and results
of operations.
All statements
contained herein
that
are not
clearly
historical in
nature are
forward-
looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,”
“expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions
and future
or conditional verbs
such as
“will,” “would,” “should,”
“could,” “might,” “can,”
“may” or similar
expressions are
generally intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
Various factors, some of which
are beyond Popular’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in,
or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a
difference include, but are not limited to:
●
the
rate
of
growth
or
decline
in
the
economy
and
employment
levels,
as
well
as
general
business
and
economic
conditions
in
the
geographic
areas
we
serve
and,
in
particular,
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Puerto
Rico
(the
“Commonwealth” or “Puerto Rico”), where a significant
portion of our business is concentrated;
●
adverse
economic conditions,
including high
levels
of
inflation, that
adversely affect
housing
prices, the
job
market,
consumer confidence
and spending
habits which
may affect
in turn,
among other
things, our
level of
non-performing
assets, charge-offs and provision expense;
●
changes in interest rates and market liquidity,
which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources, reduce loan
originations, affect
our ability
to originate
and distribute
financial products
in the
primary and
secondary markets
and
impact the value of our investment portfolio and
our ability to return capital to our stockholders;
●
the
impact
of
bank
failures
or
adverse
developments
at
other
banks
and
related
negative
media
coverage
of
the
banking industry in general on investor and depositor
sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of
banks;
●
the impact of the current fiscal and economic challenges of Puerto Rico and
the measures taken and to be taken by the
Puerto
Rico
Government
and
the
Federally-appointed
oversight
board
on
the
economy,
our
customers
and
our
business;
●
the
amount of
Puerto Rico
public sector
deposits held
at
the Corporation,
whose future
balances are
uncertain and
difficult
to
predict
and
may
be
impacted
by
factors
such
as
the
amount
of
Federal
funds
received
by
the
P.R.
Government
and
the
rate
of
expenditure
of
such
funds,
as
well
as
the
financial
condition,
liquidity
and
cash
management practices of the Puerto Rico Government
and its instrumentalities;
●
unforeseen or
catastrophic events,
including extreme
weather events
such as
hurricanes and
other natural
disasters,
man-made disasters, acts of violence or war or
pandemics, epidemics and other health-related
crises, or the fear of any
such event
occurring, any of
which could cause
adverse consequences for
our business, including,
but not
limited to,
disruptions in our operations;
●
our ability to
achieve the expected
benefits from our
transformation initiative, including
our ability to
achieve projected
earnings, efficiencies and
return on tangible
common equity and
accurately anticipate costs
and expenses associated
therewith;
●
the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government
and its agencies;
4
●
changes in
federal
bank regulatory
and supervisory
policies, including
required levels
of
capital, liquidity,
resolution-
related requirements and the impact of other proposed
capital standards on our capital ratios;
●
the impact of the current or any future
U.S. government shutdown;
●
changes
in
and
uncertainty
regarding
federal
funding,
tax,
trade
and
tariff
policies,
and
rulemaking,
supervision,
examination and enforcement priorities of the federal
administration;
●
increases
to
or
additional
Federal
Deposit
Insurance
Corporation
(“FDIC”)
assessments,
such
as
the
special
assessment implemented
by the
FDIC to
recover the
losses to
the deposit
insurance fund
(“DIF”) resulting
from the
receiverships of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank;
●
regulatory approvals
that may
be necessary
to undertake
certain actions
or consummate
strategic transactions,
such
as acquisitions and dispositions;
●
the
relative strength
or
weakness
of
the
consumer and
commercial credit
sectors
and
of
the
real
estate markets
in
Puerto Rico and the other markets in which
our borrowers are located;
●
a deterioration in the credit quality of our
clients, customers and counterparties;
●
the performance of the stock and bond markets;
●
competition in the financial services industry;
●
possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes;
●
a failure
in or
breach of
our operational
or security
systems or
infrastructure or
those of
Evertec, Inc.,
our provider
of
core financial
transaction processing and
information technology services,
or of
third parties
providing services
to us,
including
as
a
result
of
cyberattacks,
e-fraud,
denial-of-services
and
computer
intrusion,
resulting
in,
among
other
things, loss or breach of customer data, disruption
of services, reputational damage or additional
costs to Popular;
●
changes in market rates and prices which may
adversely impact the value of financial assets
and liabilities;
●
potential judgments,
claims, damages,
penalties, fines,
enforcement actions
and
reputational damage
resulting from
pending or future litigation and regulatory or government
investigations or actions;
●
changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations;
●
our ability to grow our core businesses;
●
decisions to downsize, sell or close branches or business
units or otherwise change our business mix;
and
●
management’s ability to identify and manage these and
other risks.
Moreover, the
outcome of any
legal and
regulatory proceedings, as
discussed in “Part
II, Item
- Legal Proceedings,”
is inherently
uncertain and depends on judicial interpretations of law and the findings of regulators, judges and/or juries. Investors should refer to
the Corporation’s Annual
Report on Form
10-K for the
year ended December 31,
2024 (the “2024
Form 10-K”), as
well as “Part
II,
Item 1A” of our Quarterly
Report on this Form 10-Q for
a discussion of such factors and
certain risks and uncertainties to which the
Corporation is subject.
All forward-looking
statements included
in this
Form 10-Q
are based
upon information
available to
Popular as
of the
date of
this
Form 10-Q, and other than as
required by law, including the
requirements of applicable securities laws, we assume no
obligation to
update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date
of such statements.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
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,
2024 was
derived from
audited
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation
for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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,
2024,
included in
the 2024
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.

by
removing
the

that
addressed
the
accounting
for

held
by platform

align the
ASC with
the
latest
SAB

directive,
ensuring
consistency and clarity.
March 18, 2025
The

since
it does
not currently hold crypto-assets.
FASB ASU 2024-02,
Codification Improvements
- Amendments to Remove
References to the
Concepts Statements
The
FASB
issued
ASU
2024-02
in
March
2024, which
removes various
references to
concept statements from the ASC. The ASU
intends
to
simplify
the
Codification
and
distinguish
between
nonauthoritative
and
authoritative guidance.
January 1, 2025
The
Corporation
was
not
impacted
by
the adoption of this ASU since it did not
provide for
accounting changes
or new
presentation
or
disclosure
requirements.
The
ASU
eliminated
references
within
the

statements,
which
is
considered non-authoritative guidance.
FASB ASU 2024-01,

The
FASB
issued
ASU
2024-01
in
March
2024,
which
amends
ASC
Topic
718
by
including
an
illustrative
example
to
demonstrate how
an entity
would apply
the
scope
guidance
in
paragraph
718-10-15-3
to determine whether profits interest awards
should be accounted
for in accordance
with
ASC
Topic
718.
The
ASU
is
intended
to
reduce complexity and diversity in practice.
January 1, 2025
The
Corporation
was
not
impacted
by
the
adoption
of
this
ASU
since
the
performance

of
the

continue
to
meet
the

The
FASB
issued
ASU
2023-08
in
December
2023,
which
amends

by
requiring
that
crypto
assets
are
measured
at
fair
value
in
the
statement
of
financial
position
each
reporting
period
with
changes
from
remeasurement
being
recognized
in
net
income.
The
ASU
also
requires
enhanced
disclosures
for
both
annual
and
interim
reporting
periods
to
provide
investors
with
relevant information
to
analyze and
assess
the
exposure
and
risk
of
significant

January 1, 2025
The

The
FASB
issued
ASU
2023-05

January 1, 2025
The

was
not
impacted
at

Derivatives Scope
Refinements and Scope
Clarification for Share-
Based Noncash
Consideration from a
Customer in a Revenue
Contract
The
FASB
issued
ASU
2025-07
in
September 2025, which refines the scope of
derivative accounting under
ASC Topic
815
and
clarifies
the
treatment
of
share-based
noncash

under

Topic
606.
The
update
excludes
certain
non-

based
on
the
operations
of
one
of
the
parties from derivative accounting, aiming to
better
reflect
the
nature
of

It
also
confirms
that

from
a

should
be
accounted
for

will
have
on
our
accounting
for

software
considering

in

The

issued
ASU

in

which
permits
entities
to
elect
a
practical
expedient
when

assets
arising
from

accounted
for
under

This practical
expedient establishes
that, in
developing
reasonable
and
supportable
forecasts
as
part
of
estimating
expected
credit
losses,
entities
assume
that
current
conditions as

not
change
for

in

2025,
which
clarifies
the
accounting
for

granted
as

payable
to

The
ASU expands
the definition
of performance
condition
for
share-based
consideration
under ASC 718 and eliminates the forfeiture
policy election for
service conditions. It
also
confirms
that
the

does
not
apply
to
such awards.

Note 4 - Restrictions on cash and due
from banks and certain securities
BPPR is
required by
regulatory agencies
to maintain
average reserve
balances with
the Federal
Reserve Bank
of New
York
(the
“Fed”) or other banks. Required average reserve balances in BPPR amounted to $
2.6
billion at September 30, 2025 (December 31,
2024 -
$
2.6
billion). Cash
and due
from banks,
as well
as other
highly liquid
securities, are
used to
cover these
required average
reserve balances.
At

The weighted

The

securities
reflects
gross
unrealized
losses
of

The
portfolio
of

is
comprised
mainly
of

and
obligations
from

Government,
its

including
Federal
National
Mortgage

and

These
securities
carry
an
explicit
or

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.

[2]
Includes $

Corporation had unpledged held-to-maturities securities with
a fair value of $
139.9

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 considers to develop the
estimate of
the allowance for credit losses for investment securities
held-to-maturity.
As discussed in
Note 2 of
the 2024 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
September 30,
2025 and
December 31,
2024, 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
$
8.7
million of
general and
special obligation
bonds issued
by three
municipalities of
Puerto
Rico,
of
which
$
7.9
million
have
a
“Pass”
rating,
that
are
payable
primarily
from
certain
property
taxes
imposed
by
the
issuing
municipality (compared to $
13
million and $
11.1
million, respectively, at December 31, 2024).
At September
30, 2025,
the portfolio
of “Obligations
of Puerto
Rico, States
and political
subdivisions” also
included $
36
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, 2024 -
$
38
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
The
Corporation
assesses
the
credit
risk
associated
with
these
securities
by
evaluating
the
refreshed
FICO
scores
of
a
representative sample of
the underlying
borrowers. As
of September 30,
2025, the
average refreshed FICO
score for
the sample,
comprised
of
76
%
of
the
nominal
value
of
the
securities,
used
for
the
loss
estimate
was
of
676
(compared
to
72
%
and
674
,
respectively, at
December 31, 2024).
The loss estimates
for this portfolio
was based on
the methodology established
under CECL
for
similar
loan
obligations.
The
Corporation
does
not
consider
the
government
guarantee
when
estimating
the
credit
losses
associated with this portfolio.
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 September 30,
2025 and December 31,
2024, the portfolio of
“Obligations of Puerto Rico,
States and political subdivisions”
also
included $
6.9
million in
securities issued
by the
HFA for
which the
underlying source
of payment
is U.S.
Treasury securities.
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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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
September 30, 2025 was $
5.8
million (December 31, 2024 - $
5.3
million).

174
million are 90 days or more past due. The portfolio
of
guaranteed loans includes $
49
million of residential mortgage loans in Puerto Rico that
are no longer accruing interest as of September 30,
2025.
The Corporation has $
29
million in reverse mortgage loans in Puerto Rico which
are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing
interest at September 30, 2025.

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 September 30, 2025 include $
143
million in collateral dependent loans (December
31,
2024 -
$
124
million). The
Corporation recognized
$
3
million in
interest income
on non-accrual
loans during
the
nine months
ended September 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024
- $
3
million).
The following tables present the amortized cost basis

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
competing risk
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
September
30,
2025,
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 2025, the Corporation assigned equal probability weights to the baseline and pessimistic scenarios in response to
economic uncertainty,
the optimistic scenario
being the lowest
of probabilities. During
the second
quarter of 2025,
the Corporation
moderately
reduced
the
probability
weight
for
the
pessimistic
scenario
based
on
changes
in
the
economic
outlook
and
a
reassessment of uncertainty compared to the first quarter. The net impact of these two changes in the assigned weights on the ACL
levels
for
the
nine
months
ended
September
30,
2025
was
$
13.7
million
in
additional
reserves.
There
were
no
changes
to
the
probability weights
during the
third quarter
of
- The
probability weight
for the
pessimistic scenario
remains above
the levels
observed in 2024, given the ongoing economic uncertainty.
The following tables present the changes in
the ACL of loans held-in-portfolio and
unfunded commitments for the quarters and nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

[1] Loans that were in non-accrual status at the time
of modification are presented as past due until the borrower
has demonstrated a willingness and ability
to make the restructured loan payments. Payment default
is defined as a restructured loan becoming 90 days past
due after being modified, foreclosed or
charged-off, whichever occurs first. The recorded investment
as of period end is inclusive of all partial paydowns
and charge-offs since the modification
date. Loans modified with financial difficulty that
were fully paid down, charged-off or foreclosed upon
by period end are not reported.

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 September
30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024
and the gross
write-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 2024 Form 10-K:

Results of the Annual Goodwill Impairment Test
The Corporation’s goodwill and
other identifiable intangible assets having
an indefinite useful life
are tested for impairment,
at least
annually and
on a
more frequent basis
if events
or circumstances indicate
impairment could have
taken place. Such
events could
include,
among others,
a significant
adverse change
in the
business climate,
an adverse
action by
a regulator,
an unanticipated
change in the competitive environment and a decision
to change the operations or dispose of a
reporting unit.
Management
monitors
events
or
changes
in
circumstances
between
annual
tests
to
determine
if
these
events
or
changes
in
circumstances would more likely than not reduce
the fair value of its reporting units below their
carrying amounts.
The reporting units evaluated are one level below the business segments and correspond to the legal entities within each reportable
segment. In accordance with push-down accounting, all
goodwill is assigned to the reporting units
following a business combination.
When
evaluating
goodwill
for
impairment,
the
Corporation
may
decide
to
first
perform
a
qualitative
assessment,
or
“Step
Zero”
impairment test, to determine whether it is more likely than not that impairment has occurred. The qualitative assessment includes a
review of
macroeconomic conditions,
industry and
market considerations,
internal cost
factors, and
our own
overall financial
and
share
price performance,
among other
factors. If
it
is
determined that
it
is more
likely than
not that
the carrying
amounts
of
our
reporting units exceed their fair value,
the Corporation will perform a quantitative
assessment and calculate the estimated fair value
of
the
respective
reporting
unit.
If
the
carrying
amount
of
a
reporting
unit’s
goodwill
exceeds
the
fair
value
of
that
goodwill,
an
impairment loss is recognized.
To
assess
a
reporting unit’s
fair value,
the
Corporation generally
uses
a
combination of
methods
such
as
discounted cash
flow
analysis and market
multiples.
The financial projections used
in the discounted
cash flow (“DCF”)
valuation analysis are
based on
the
most
recent
(as
of
the
valuation
date)
projections
presented
to
the
Corporation’s
Asset
/
Liability
Management
Committee
(“ALCO”). These
projections reflect
management’s
expectations for
the
reporting unit’s
financial
prospects considering
economic
and industry conditions. The Corporation evaluates the results obtained under the valuation methodology to identify and understand
the
key
value
drivers,
to
ascertain
that
the
results
obtained are
reasonable and
appropriate under
the
circumstances. Elements
considered include current market and
economic conditions, developments in specific lines of
business, and any particular features
of the individual reporting units.
The Corporation
completed its
annual goodwill
impairment evaluation during
the third
quarter of
2025, using
July 31,
2025 as
the
evaluation date.
Through a
qualitative analysis,
Step
Zero, the
Corporation determined
that for
all
reporting units,
except for
the
Popular Equipment
Finance (‘’PEF’’)
reporting unit,
it is
more-likely-than-not that
the fair
value exceeded
the carrying
value. As
a
result, the Corporation performed a quantitative test
to assess PEF’s goodwill impairment.
The results
of the
PEF annual
goodwill impairment
test as
of July
31, 2025,
indicated that
the estimated
fair value
was below
it’s
carrying amount. Accordingly, the Corporation recognized a goodwill impairment
charge of $
13.0
million, which was mainly driven by
lower projected earnings for the forecasted period,
primarily due to lower lending activity.
The following tables present the gross amount
of goodwill and accumulated impairment losses
by reportable segments.

At

the
Corporation had
FHLB
borrowing facilities
whereby the
Corporation could
borrow up to

4.8
billion and $
4.7
billion, respectively,
of which $
0.6
billion and $
0.5
billion, respectively,
were used. In
addition, at
December 31, 2024, the Corporation had
placed $
0.3
billion of the available FHLB
credit facility as collateral for municipal
letters of
credit to secure deposits. The FHLB borrowing facilities are collateralized with securities and loans held-in-portfolio,
and do not have
restrictive covenants or callable features.
Also, at September
30, 2025, the Corporation
had borrowing facilities
at the discount
window of the
Federal Reserve Bank of
New
York
amounting to $
11.2
billion (December 31, 2024
- $
7.0
billion), which remained unused
at September 30, 2025
and December
31, 2024.
The facilities are a collateralized source of credit
that is highly dependable even under difficult market
conditions.

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 September
30, 2025,
the Corporation
serviced $
445
million (December
31, 2024
- $
495
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 loss
incurred. During the quarter and
nine months ended September 30,
2025,
the Corporation repurchased $
0.2
million and $
1.1
million, respectively, of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject
to the
credit
recourse
provisions
(September
30,
2024
-
$
0.5
million
and
$
1.5
million,
respectively).
At
September
30,
2025,
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, 2024 - $
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 September 30, 2025, the
Corporation serviced $
8.4
billion in mortgage loans for third parties, including the loans serviced with credit recourse (December 31,
2024 - $
9.0
billion). The Corporation generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from
the mortgage owner,
from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage
loan is foreclosed or,
in the case of FHA/VA
loans, under the applicable FHA
and
VA
insurance
and guarantees
programs. However,
in the
meantime, the
Corporation must
absorb the
cost
of the
funds
it
advances
during the
time the
advance is
outstanding. The
Corporation must
also bear
the costs
of attempting
to collect
on delinquent
and
defaulted
mortgage
loans.
In
addition,
if
a
defaulted
loan
is
not
cured,
the
mortgage
loan
would
be
canceled
as
part
of
the
foreclosure proceedings and the Corporation would
not receive any future servicing income
with respect to that loan. At
September
30, 2025, the outstanding
balance of funds advanced by
the Corporation under such
mortgage loan servicing agreements was
$
31
million
(December
31,
2024
-
$
44
million).
To
the
extent
the
mortgage
loans
underlying
the
Corporation’s
servicing
portfolio
experience
increased delinquencies,
the
Corporation would
be
required to
dedicate
additional cash
resources to
comply
with its
obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional
administrative costs related to increases in collection
efforts.
Popular,
Inc. Holding
Company (“PIHC”) fully
and unconditionally guarantees
certain borrowing
obligations issued by
certain of
its
100
% owned
consolidated subsidiaries
amounting to
$
94
million at
September 30,
2025 and
December 31,
2024, respectively.
In
addition, at both
September 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, PIHC
fully and unconditionally guaranteed
on a subordinated basis
$
193
million of capital securities (trust preferred securities) issued by wholly-owned issuing trust entities to the extent set forth in the
applicable
guarantee
agreement.

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:

At September 30, 2025

the Corporation maintained a
reserve of $
14
million and $
15
million, respectively,
for potential losses associated with unfunded loan
commitments related to commercial and construction
lines of credit.
Other commitments
At
September
30,
2025
and
December 31,
2024,
the
Corporation
also
maintained
other
non-credit
commitments
for
$
6
million,
primarily for the acquisition of other investments.
Business concentration
Since the Corporation’s business activities are concentrated primarily in Puerto Rico, its results of operations and financial condition
are dependent
upon the
general trends
of the
Puerto Rico
economy and,
in particular,
the residential
and commercial
real estate
markets. The concentration
of the Corporation’s
operations in Puerto Rico
exposes it to
greater risk than other
banking companies
with a wider geographic base. Its
asset and revenue composition by geographical area
is presented in Note 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 September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities
totaled
$
391
million,
of
which
$
342
million
were
outstanding
($
336
million
and
$
336
million
at
December
31,
2024).
The
Corporation’s
exposure
at
September
30,
2025,
included
up
to
$
47.4
million
in
Automated
Clearing
House
(“ACH”)
transaction
settlement exposure, none
of which was
outstanding. Of the
amount outstanding, $
333
million consists of
loans and $
9
million are
securities ($
323
million and $
13
million at December
31, 2024). Substantially all
of the amount
outstanding at September 30,
2025
and December 31, 2024 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
September
30,
2025,
93
approximately
76
% of
the Corporation’s
exposure to
municipal loans
and securities
was concentrated
in the
municipalities of
San
Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Caguas.

million at
December 31,
2024).
These
included
$
165
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,
2024 -
$
176
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 September
30,
2025, $
36
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, 2024
- $
38
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. These
borrowers 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,
$
2.4
billion
of
residential
mortgages
and
$
80.9
million
commercial
loans
were
insured
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government
or
its
agencies
at
September
30,
2025
(compared
to
$
2.1
billion
and
$
87.4
million,
respectively,
at
December
31,
2024). 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 September 30, 2025, 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, 2024
- $
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
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.
94
At September 30, 2025,
the Corporation had operations
in the British Virgin
Islands (“BVI”) and it
had a loan portfolio
amounting to
$
193
million comprised of various retail and commercial
clients, compared to a loan portfolio
of $
196
million at December 31, 2024.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation had
no
significant exposure to a single borrower in the BVI.
FDIC Special Assessment
On
November 16,
2023, the
Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”)
imposed a
special
assessment (the
“FDIC Special
Assessment”) amount to
recover the losses
to the
deposit insurance fund
resulting from the
FDIC’s funds
used, in March
2023, in
connection with the systemic risk exception, to the least-cost resolution
test, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to manage the
receiverships of several failed banks. In connection with this assessment, the Corporation accrued $
71.4
million, $
45.3
million net of
tax, in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing
the full amount of the assessment.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Corporation recorded an additional expense of $
14.3
million, $
9.1
million net of tax, to reflect the
FDIC's higher loss estimate communicated
by the FDIC. The
special assessment amount and collection
period may change as
the
estimated loss is
periodically adjusted or
if the total
amount collected varies.
The last payment
for the FDIC
special assessment is
projected to be in the third quarter, September 2026.
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 $
7.2
million as of
September
30,
2025.
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.

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 September 30,
2025
.
These special purpose
entities
are
deemed
to
be
VIEs
since
they
lack
equity
investments
at
risk.
The
Corporation’s
continuing
involvement
in
these
guaranteed loan
securitizations includes
owning certain
beneficial interests in
the form
of securities as
well as
the servicing
rights
retained. The Corporation is not required to provide additional financial support to
any of the variable interest entities to which it has
transferred
the
financial
assets.
The
mortgage-backed
securities,
to
the
extent
retained,
are
classified
in
the
Corporation’s
Consolidated
Statements
of
Financial
Condition
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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are classified as available-for-
sale and
trading securities
in the
Corporation’s Consolidated
Statements of
Financial Condition. In
addition, the
Corporation holds
variable
interests
in
the
form
of
servicing
fees,
since
it
retains
the
right
to
service
the
transferred
loans
in
those
government-
sponsored special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and may also purchase the right to service loans in other government-sponsored SPEs
that were transferred to those SPEs by a third-party.
The following
table presents
the carrying
amount and
classification of
the assets
related to
the Corporation’s
variable interests
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 September 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024.

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 $
6.1
billion at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 -
$
6.6
billion).
The Corporation
determined that
the maximum
exposure to
loss includes
the fair
value of
the MSRs
and the
assumption that
the
servicing
advances
at
September 30,
2025
and
December 31,
2024,
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 September 30,
2025.

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 2024 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
September
30,
2025
and
December 31, 2024, 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.

Effective in the third quarter of 2024, the Corporation
reclassified certain interchange fees, which were
previously included jointly with credit card fees
from common network activity,
as debit card fees. For the nine month period ended September
30, 2024, interchange fees of approximately $
22.2
million,
corresponding to the first and second quarters were
reclassified.
Revenue from contracts with
customers is recognized when,
or as, the performance
obligations are satisfied by
the Corporation by
transferring the promised services to the customers based on ASC 606 Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. Revenue streams
identified from contracts with customers, as
listed above, will have certain timing for
recognition based on the nature of
the contract
including when
the obligation is
satisfied and/or services
are rendered. Service
charges on
deposit accounts, debit
card fees,
and
credit card
fees are
recognized at
a point
in time,
upon the
occurrence of
an activity
or an
event. Interchange
fees on
debit and
credit
card
transactions
are
recognized upon
settlement
of
the
payment
transaction. For
more
details
over
nature
and
timing
of
revenue streams from contracts with customers refer to Note 31 on the
2024 Form 10-K for a complete description of the nature and
timing of revenue streams from contracts with customers.

Note 25 - Stock-based compensation
Incentive Plan
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 a
market condition
under ASC
718.
For equity
settled awards
based on
market
conditions, the
fair value
is determined
as of
the grant
date and
is not
subsequently revised
based on
actual performance.
The
ROATCE metric
is a performance condition under
ASC 718.
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% target based on both market (TSR) and performance
(ROATCE) conditions. The performance shares will 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.

S. operations
sustained profitability
for the
last three
years.
These historical financial results are objectively verifiable positive evidence, evaluated
together with the positive evidence of
stable credit
metrics. On
the other
hand, the
Corporation evaluated
the negative
evidence accumulated
over the
years, including
financial results
lower than
expectations and
challenges to
the economy
due to
inflationary pressures
that could
stem from
U. S.
tariff policies and
global geopolitical challenges,
in addition to
the economic effect
of cuts in
federal government spending and
the
length of the federal budget
impasse that could negatively impact U.
S. operations’ achieving expected pre-tax income
levels in the
near future.
As of September 30, 2025, after weighting all positive and negative evidence, the Corporation concluded that it is more
likely than not that $
238.5
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
earnings available to
realize the deferred
tax assets for
the
remaining carryforward
period, together
with the
historical level
of book
income adjusted
by permanent
differences. Management
will continue to monitor
and review the U.S. operation’s
results, including recent earnings trends, the
pre-tax earnings forecast, any
new tax initiative, and other factors, including net income
versus forecast, targeted loan growth, net interest
income margin, changes
in deposit costs, allowance for credit losses, charge offs, non-performing loans held-in-portfolio (“NPLs”) inflows and non-performing
asset (“NPA”)
balances. Significant changes in
these factors or
sustainable continuance of
financial improvement could impact
the
future realization of the deferred tax assets.
At September 30, 2025,
the Corporation’s net deferred
tax assets related to
its Puerto Rico operations amounted
to $
597.1
million.
The
Corporation’s
Puerto
Rico
Banking
operation
has
a
historical
record
of
profitability.
This
is
considered
a
strong
piece
of
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 $
78.1
million as of September 30, 2025.
The reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding
interest, was as follows:

At September
30, 2025,
the total
amount of
accrued interest
recognized in
the statement
of financial
condition amounted
to $
2.5
million (December 31, 2024 - $
2.4
million). Management determined that at September 30,
2025 and December 31, 2024, there was
no
need to accrue for the
payment of penalties. The Corporation’s policy
is to report interest related
to unrecognized tax benefits in
income
tax
expense,
while
the
penalties,
if
any,
are
reported
in
other
operating
expenses
in
the
Consolidated
Statements
of
Operations.
After consideration
of the
effect on
U.S. federal
tax of
unrecognized U.S.
state tax
benefits, the
total amount
of unrecognized
tax
benefits that if recognized, would affect
the Corporation’s effective tax rate,
was $
3.0
million at September 30, 2025 (December
31,
2024 - $
3.0
million).
The amount of
unrecognized tax benefits
may increase or
decrease in the
future for various
reasons including adding amounts
for
current
tax
year
positions,
expiration
of
open
income
tax
returns
due
to
the
statutes
of
limitation,
changes
in
Management’s
judgment about
the level
of uncertainty,
status of
examinations, litigation
and legislative
activity and
the addition
or elimination
of
uncertain tax positions.
The Corporation does not
anticipate a reduction
in the total
amount of unrecognized tax
benefits within the
next 12 months.
The
Corporation and
its subsidiaries
file
income tax
returns in
Puerto
Rico, the
U.S. federal
jurisdiction, various
U.S. states
and
political subdivisions, and foreign jurisdictions. At September 30, 2025, the following years remain subject to examination in the U.S.
Federal jurisdiction: 2022 and thereafter; and in
the Puerto Rico jurisdiction, 2018 and thereafter.

Note 28 – Segment reporting
The
Corporation’s
corporate
structure
consists
of
two
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
the
tables presented below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
report
includes
management’s
discussion
and
analysis
(“MD&A”)
of
the
consolidated

financial
performance
of
Popular,
Inc.
(the
“Corporation”
or
“Popular”). All
accompanying
tables,
financial
statements
and
notes
included
elsewhere in this report should be considered an
integral part of this analysis.
The Corporation is a
diversified, publicly owned financial holding company subject
to the supervision and regulation
of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Corporation has
operations in Puerto Rico, the United States (“U.S.”) mainland and
the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the
Corporation provides retail, mortgage,
commercial banking services and auto
and equipment
leasing and
financing through its
principal banking subsidiary,
Banco Popular de
Puerto Rico
(“BPPR”), as
well as
broker-dealer and
insurance services
through specialized
subsidiaries. In
the
U.S. mainland,
the
Corporation provides
retail and
commercial
banking
services,
as
well
as
equipment
leasing
and
financing,
through
its
New
York-chartered
banking
subsidiary,
Popular
Bank
(“PB”
or
“Popular
U.S.”),
which
has
branches
located
in
New
York,
New
Jersey
and
Florida.
Note
28
to
the
Consolidated Financial Statements presents information
about the Corporation’s business segments.
As a financial services company,
the Corporation’s earnings are significantly affected
by general business and economic conditions
in the
markets which
we serve.
Lending and
deposit activities
and fee
income generation
are influenced
by the
level of
business
spending and
investment, consumer
income, spending
and savings,
capital market
activities, competition,
customer preferences,
interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates
on competing products.
The Corporation
operates in
a highly
regulated environment
and may
be adversely
affected by
changes in
federal and
local laws
and
regulations.
Also,
competition
with
other
financial
institutions,
as
well
as
with
non-traditional financial
service
providers
and
technology
companies
that
provide
electronic
and
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
enhancements and changes in the regulation of financial
services companies.

OVERVIEW
Financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30,
2025
The Corporation’s
net income for
the quarter
ended September 30,
2025 amounted to
$211.3
million, an
increase of
$56.0 million
when compared to a
net income of $155.3 million
for the quarter ended September
30, 2024. Higher net
income was mainly driven
by higher net interest income, offset in part by an increase
in operating expense.
Financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30,
2025 include:
●
Net
interest
income
amounted
to
$646.5
million,
an
increase
of
$74.0
million
when
compared
to
the
quarter
ended
September 30,
2024, driven
by lower cost
of deposits,
investments in U.S.
Treasury securities
at higher yields
and loan
growth.
Net interest income on
a taxable equivalent basis for
the third quarter of
2025 was $720.8 million,
an increase of
$107.9
million.
Net
interest
margin
expanded
by
27
bps
to
3.51%.
On
a
taxable
equivalent
basis,
net
interest
margin
expanded by 43 basis points to 3.90%.
●
The provision for
credit losses amounted to
$75.1 million for the
quarter ended September 30,
2025, an increase of
$3.7
million
when compared
to
the
quarter
ended
September
30,
2024,
driven
by
higher
reserves
in
the
commercial
loans
126
portfolio, mainly due to two unrelated NPL inflows during the quarter, partially offset by
a lower provision for the consumer
loans portfolio due to improvements in credit quality.
●
Non-interest
income
amounted
to
$171.2
million,
an
increase
of
$7.1
million
when
compared
to
the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2024, mainly driven by
higher credit and debit card fee income,
a favorable valuation adjustment of equity
securities held for deferred compensation plans, higher other operating income
due to a retroactive charge to a tenant
for
energy supplied in prior years, and higher investment
management fees.
●
Operating expenses amounted to $495.3 million for
the quarter, reflecting
an increase of $28.0 million when
compared to
the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
The increase was mainly driven by
higher personnel costs, primarily due to profit
sharing
accrual
and
higher
incentives,
and
a
non-cash
goodwill
impairment
charge
related
to
our
U.S.
based
leasing
subsidiary,
partially offset by lower insurance claims and operational
losses reserves and lower equipment expenses.
●
Income tax expense
of $36.0 million with
an effective tax
rate (“ETR”) of
14.5% during the
quarter ended September 30,
2025, compared
to an
income tax
expense of
$42.5 million
with an
ETR of
21.5% for
the quarter
ended September
30,
2024 due to higher tax-exempt income and tax
credit purchases during 2025.
●
At September 30,
2025, the Corporation’s
total assets amounted
to $75.1 billion,
compared to $73.0
billion at December
31,
2024.
The
increase
of
$2.1
billion
is
primarily
due
to
higher
balance
in
the
available-for-sale
(“AFS”)
securities
portfolio,
mainly
driven
by
higher
U.S.
Treasury
securities,
and
an
increase
across
most
loan
portfolios,
mainly
in
commercial,
mortgage,
and
construction,
partially
offset
by
lower
balance
in
the
money
market
investments,
held-to-
maturity (“HTM”) investment securities, and a decrease
in other assets.
●
Deposits amounted to $66.5 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.6 billion from December 31, 2024, driven by
an increase in high-cost deposits,
mainly time deposits at PB, and P.R. public deposits.
●
Stockholders’ equity amounted to $6.1 billion at September 30, 2025,
compared to $5.6 billion at December 31, 2024. The
Corporation and
its
banking subsidiaries
continue to
be
well capitalized.
As
of
September
30,
2025, the
Corporation’s
tangible book value per common share was $79.12, an increase of $10.96 from December 31, 2024. The Common Equity
Tier 1 Capital ratio at September 30, 2025 was 15.79%,
compared to 16.03% at December 31, 2024.
Refer to Table 1 for selected financial data for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 10-Q
contains financial information
prepared under accounting
principles generally accepted in
the United States
(“U.S.
128
GAAP”)
and
non-GAAP
financial
measures.
Management
uses
non-GAAP
financial
measures
when
it
is
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.
The following
table presents
the adjusted
net income
for the
nine months
ended September
30, 2024.
There were
no non-GAAP
adjustments for the nine months ended September

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
s
3 and 4 for
the quarter and
nine months
ended September
30,
2025, as
compared with
the same
period in
2024, 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
tables 3 and
4, 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
10 provides
a reconciliation of
total stockholders’ equity
to tangible common
equity and total
assets to tangible
assets as
of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

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
2024
Form
10-K.
Also,
refer
to
Note
2
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
included
in
the
2024

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
September 30, 2025 was
$646.5 million an increase of
$74.0 million, compared to
the same quarter in 2024. The increase in net interest income was supported by lower cost
of deposits, mainly P.R.
public deposits,
higher income from investments in U.S. Treasury securities at
higher yields, and from loan growth. Net interest income on a
taxable
equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2025
was $720.8 million, an increase of $107.9
million.
Net interest margin
(“NIM”) for the
quarter was 3.51%,
an increase of
27 basis points
when compared to the
third quarter of
2024.
On a
taxable equivalent
basis, net
interest margin
for the
third quarter
of 2025
was 3.90%,
an increase
of 43
basis points
when
compared to the third quarter of 2024, driven
by higher level of tax-exempt securities and loans. NIM expansion, when compared
to
the same quarter of
the previous year,
was mainly attributable to
lower deposit costs driven
as a result of
the repricing of high-cost
deposits that
are market-linked,
mainly those
of P.R.
public deposits,
and higher
yields on
U.S. Treasury
securities. Total
cost of
deposits decreased 37 basis points to 1.79%.
On a taxable equivalent basis, the main drivers of
the increase for the third quarter of 2025 were:
●
higher income from investment securities and money market investments
by $17.5 million, mainly driven by higher income
from
U.S. Treasury
securities
by
$49.3
million
or
57
basis
points, due
to
higher
re-investment activity
at
higher yields
partially offset
by lower
income from
money market
securities by
$29.2 million
as a
result of
the deployment
of funds
to
loan growth
and the
purchase of
U.S. Treasury
securities. During
the third
quarter of
2025, the
Corporation purchased
approximately
$2.5
billion
of
U.S.
Treasury
notes
with
an
average duration
of
1.4
years
and
a
yield
of
approximately
3.65%, 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
$45.6
million
driven
by
loan
growth
most
notably
in
the
commercial,
construction
and
mortgage portfolios, including certain
tax-exempt loans in BPPR,
partially offset by
lower yields by
7 basis points,
mainly
from adjustable rate commercial and construction portfolios
due to short-term market rates decline; and
●
lower interest expense on
deposits by $47.6 million, or
37 basis points, when compared
to the same period
in 2024. The
cost of
interest-bearing deposits
decreased by
52 basis
points, mainly
due to
the repricing
of market-linked
P.R.
public
deposits
which
decreased
by
105
basis
points
to
3.19%,
and
a
decrease
in
the
cost
of
deposits
in
Popular
U.S.,
particularly in time deposits and those captured through
online channels.

Net Interest income
for the
nine-month period ended
September 30, 2025
was $1.9
billion, or $192.1
million higher than
the same
period in 2024.
Taxable
equivalent net interest
income was $2.1
billion, an increase
of $264.6 million
when compared to
the same
period in
- NIM
was 3.46%,
an increase
of 26
basis points
when compared
to 3.20%
in 2024.
NIM, on
a taxable
equivalent
basis, for the
nine months ended September
30, 2025 was
3.83%, an increase
of 39 basis
points compared to
the same period
of
2024.
The main drivers
of the variances
in net interest income
on a taxable equivalent
basis for the
nine-month period ended September
30, 2025 were:
●
higher income
from investment securities
and money market
investments by $29.3
million driven
by higher income
from
U.S. Treasury
securities by
$103.2 million mainly
due to
higher yields by
47 basis
points and higher
average volume
by
$1.1 billion,
as the
Corporation continues to
re-invest U.S.
Treasury Notes
maturities at
higher yields,
as well
as use
of
funds for
the purchase
of U.S.
Treasury
securities, partially
offset by
lower income
from money
market investments
by
$66.3
million,
or
102
basis
points,
mainly
due
money
market
investments lower
yield
due
to
the
decline
in
short-term
market rates and the use of
funds for loan growth and investments in U.S.
Treasury securities , as discussed above;
●
higher income from
loans by $117.2
million resulting from
higher average balances by
$2.3 billion, reflected across
most
portfolios, most notably in the commercial, construction and mortgage loan portfolios, partially offset by lower loan yield by
three basis points driven by adjustable-rate construction
and commercial portfolios due to the decline
in market rates; and
●
lower deposit cost
by $124.1 million
mainly due to
the repricing of
market linked P.R.
public deposits, which
declined by
96 basis points, and the repricing of high-cost deposits
at Popular U.S.

Provision for Credit Losses - Loans Held-in-Portfolio
and Unfunded Commitments
For the
quarter ended September
30, 2025,
the Corporation
recorded a provision
for credit
losses of $75.1
million, an
increase of
$3.7 million when compared to the same quarter of the previous
year. The provision for loan
and lease losses was $74.5 million, an
increase
of
$1.7
million,
and
the
provision
for
unfunded commitments
was
$0.8
million,
an
unfavorable variance
of
$1.3
million,
mainly driven by higher unfunded commitments at the BPPR segment.
The provision release for HTM was $0.2 million,
an increase
of $0.6 million when compared to the same quarter
of the previous year.
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
2025,
in
response
to
the
economic
uncertainty,
the
Corporation increased the probability assigned to the pessimistic
scenario making it equal to the baseline scenario. Subsequently, in
the second quarter
of 2025, the
probability assigned to the
pessimistic scenario was moderately
reduced based on
the changes in
the economic outlook and
a reassessment of uncertainty
compared to the previous
quarter. The
net impact of these
two events on
the ACL levels for
the nine months ended September
30, 2025 was $13.7
million in additional reserves. There
were no changes to
the probability weights during the third quarter
of 2025. The probability weight for
the pessimistic scenario remains above the levels
observed in 2024, given the ongoing economic 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 2024, were as follows:
●
In the BPPR segment,
the provision for loans losses
was $72.6 million, a decrease
of $4.5 million when compared
to the
same quarter in 2024, driven by lower reserves for the consumer
portfolio of $30.6 million, mainly in auto loans and credit
cards,
due
to
improvements
in
credit
quality
and
lower
net
charge-offs.
The
favorable
variance
was
partially
offset
by
higher
reserves
in
the
commercial
portfolio
by
$21.7
million
due
to
a
specific
reserve
recognized
for
a
$158.3
million
commercial
and
industrial
facility
and
a
$13.5
million
charge-off
recognized
during
the
quarter
for
a
$30.1
million
commercial real estate facility,
both classified as NPLs during the quarter.
●
In the Popular
U.S. segment, the provision
for loans losses
was $1.9 million,
an increase of
$6.3 million when compared
to the
same quarter
in 2024,
mainly driven
higher qualitative
reserves for
the commercial
real estate
portfolios, partially
offset by lower net charge-offs mainly in consumer portfolios.
For
the nine
months ended
September 30,
2025, the
provision for
credit
losses amounted
to
$188.1 million,
a decrease
of
$2.7
million, compared to the
nine months ended September
30, 2024. The provision
for the loan
portfolio was $189.3 million,
flat when
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision release related to unfunded commitments was $1.6 million,
a
decrease
of
$3.0
million,
mainly
driven
by
the
reduction
in
unfunded commitments
within
the
U.S.
construction
portfolio.
The
provision for HTM was
$0.5 million, an increase
of $0.9 million when compared
to the same period
of the previous year.
The major
drivers of the provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, by
business segment when compared to
the same period in 2024, were as follows:
●
In the BPPR segment, the provision for
loan losses for the nine months ended September 30,
2025 was $168.5 million, a
decrease
of
$18.3
million
when
compared
to
the
same
period
in
2024,
driven
by
improvement
in
credit
quality
in
the
consumer portfolio, mainly in credit cards, and the stable performance of the lease portfolio for which a qualitative reserve
was established in 2024, partially offset by an increase in provisions for the
mortgage portfolio, driven by lower recoveries
and changes in macroeconomic forecasts and credit
quality.
●
In
the
Popular
U.S.
segment,
the
provision
for
loan
losses
was
$20.8
million,
an
increase
of
$18.2
million,
driven
by
changes
in
credit
quality
within
the
commercial
portfolio,
partially
offset
by
lower
net
charge-offs
within
the
consumer
portfolios.
At
September 30,
2025, the
total
allowance for
credit
losses for
loans held-in-portfolio
amounted to
$786.2 million,
compared to
$746.0
million
as
of
December
31,
2024.
The
ratio
of
the
allowance
for
credit
losses
to
loans
held-in-portfolio
was
2.03%
at
September
30,
2025, compared
to
2.01%
at
December 31,

losses statistics.
Non-Interest Income
135
Non-interest income
amounted to $171.2
million for
the third
quarter of
2025, an
increase of
$7.1 million
when compared with
the
same quarter for the previous year. This variance was primarily due
to:
●
higher gains from equity securities by $2.7 million mainly due to the valuation of securities held for deferred compensation
plans, which have an offsetting effect on personnel cost;
●
higher other
service fees
by
$2.6 million
mainly due
to
higher credit
and debit
card fee
income by
$3.3 million,
due to
higher
volume
of
costumer
transactions,
and
higher
investment
management
fees
by
$1.1
million,
driven
by
a
higher
assets under management, partially offset by lower insurance
fees by $2.4 million; and
●
higher other operating income by $2.1 million mainly
due to income of $5.3 million related to
a retroactive charge billed to
a tenant
for energy
supplied in
prior years
and higher
income from
investments accounted
under the
equity method
by
$4.1 million, partially offset
by lower daily car
rental revenue by $5.0 million
and gains from the sale
of car rental units
by
$1.4 million, associated with the car rental business
sold in the fourth quarter of 2024;
Non-interest income amounted
to $491.7
million for
the nine
months ended September
30, 2025,
a decrease of
$2.5 million when
compared to the same period of the previous
year. The main factors that contributed to the variance were:
●
lower other operating income by $13.6 million mainly due to lower daily car rental revenue by $14.9 million and gains from
the sale
of car
rental units
by $7.7
million
during the
nine months
ended September
30, 2025
associated with
the car
rental business sold in
the fourth quarter of
2024, partially offset by
income of $5.3 million
related to a retroactive
charge
billed to
a tenant
for energy
supplied in
prior years
and $3.3
million of
income related
to the
reimbursement of
excess
interest paid
to the
U.S. Internal
Revenue Service
(the “IRS”)
for late
payment penalties
related to
tax withholdings
on
intercompany distributions for the years 2014-2024 as
disclosed in 2024; and
●
lower mortgage
banking activities
by
$1.4 million
mainly due
to
a decrease
in mortgage
servicing fees
due to
portfolio
runoff;
partially offset by:
●
higher other
service fees
by $6.5
million due
to
higher credit
and debit
card fee
income by
$7.3 million,
due to
higher
volume of
transactions, higher
investment management
fees by
$3.8 million,
due to
higher assets
under management,
and higher merchant membership fees by $1.2
million, partially offset by lower insurance fees by
$6.5 million;
●
higher
service
charges
on
deposit
accounts
by
$3.7
million
mainly
due
to
higher
non-balance
compensation
fees
in
commercial deposits; and
●
an impairment on equity securities of $2.3
million recognized during 2024.
136
Operating Expenses
Operating
expenses
amounted
to
$495.3
million
for
the
quarter
ended
September
30,
2025,
an
increase
of
$28.0
million
when
compared with the same quarter of 2024. The
variance in operating expenses was mainly driven
by:
●
higher personnel costs by $31.1 million mainly due to higher incentives, including $13.0 million related to the profit-sharing
plan
which is tied to the Corporation’s financial performance and $9.0 million in other performance-based incentives, higher salaries
expense by $3.4 million, due to
a higher headcount and annual merit increases, and a
$3.4 million increase in other personnel
costs mainly
related to
the valuation
of securities
held for
deferred compensation
plans,
higher payroll
taxes, and
employee
termination benefits resulting from ongoing
efforts to improve our
profitability, including the
decision to exit the
U.S. residential
mortgage origination business and close four underperforming
branches in the New York metro area at Popular U.S.;
●
a
non-cash
goodwill
impairment
of
$13.0
million
in
our
U.S.
based
equipment
leasing
subsidiary
due
to
lower
projected
earnings for the forecasted period; and
●
higher processing
and transactional
services expenses
by $4.1
million mainly
due to
higher credit
and debit
card processing
expense as a result of higher transactional volumes;
partially offset by:
●
lower other operating expenses
by $12.9 million mainly
driven by a reversal
in the third
quarter of 2025 of
a $4.8 million claim
reserve established
during the
second quarter
of 2025
and lower
accruals for
reserves for
operational losses
by $4.1
million
mainly related to the mortgage servicing business; and
●
lower equipment expenses by $4.0 million, mainly due to
the elimination of the car rental fleet
depreciation expense, related to
the car rental business sold in 2024.
Operating expenses
amounted to
$1.5 billion
for the
nine months
ended September
30, 2025,
an increase
of $39.1
million when
compared with the same
period of 2024. Excluding the
$6.4 million interest accrued related
to prior period tax
withholdings and the
$14.3
million
impact
of
the
FDIC
Special
Assessment
recorded
in
2024,
total
operating
expenses
for
the
nine
months
ended
September 30,
2025, increased
by $59.7
million, when
compared with
the same
period of
- The
main drivers
of the
increase
were:
●
higher personnel costs by $60.4 million mainly due to higher incentives, including $26.0 million related to the profit-sharing
plan
which
is
tied
to
the
Corporation’s
financial
performance
and
$18.3
million
in
other
performance-based
incentives,
higher
salaries expenses
by $9.1
million due
to a
higher headcount
and annual merit
increases and a
$5.7 million
increase in
other
personnel costs mainly related to the valuation of
securities held for deferred compensation plans and
higher payroll taxes;
●
a non-cash goodwill impairment of $13.0 million
in our U.S. based equipment leasing subsidiary
as discussed above;
●
higher other taxes expense by $7.9
million mainly due to higher regulatory fees
and an increase in municipal license tax in
Puerto Rico;
●
higher technology
and software
expenses,
including software
cost amortization,
by $7.8
million related
to investments
in the
Corporation’s cloud infrastructure, among other continuing investments
in technology and transformation initiatives;
●
higher
processing
and
transactional
services
expenses
by
$6.4
million
mainly
due
to
higher
credit
and
debit
card
and
merchant processing expenses as a result of higher
transactional volumes; and
●
higher business
promotion expenses
by $5.3
million mainly
due to
higher customer
rewards programs
expense in
our credit
card business;
partially offset by:
137
●
lower other
operating expenses
by $17.3
million mainly
driven by,
lower accruals
for reserves
for operational
losses by
$9.7
million and lower pension plan cost by $3.3
million due to changes in actuarial assumptions;
●
lower professional fees by $12.6 million mainly due
to lower costs associated with regulatory compliance
activities; and
●
lower equipment expenses by $12.2 million, mainly due to the depreciation of car rental units during 2024 associated with units
sold as part of the daily car rental transaction during
the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income Taxes
For the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation recorded an income
tax expense of $36.0 million and
$128.9
million,
respectively,
with an
effective
tax
rate
(“ETR”) of
14.5%
and
17.7%, respectively,
compared to
$42.5 million
and
$138.5 million, respectively, with an ETR of 21.5% and 24.1% for the respective
periods of year 2024.
The lower income tax expense of $6.5 million for
the third quarter, when compared to
the same quarter of 2024, is mainly attributed
to the
higher net
exempt income.
For the
nine-months period
ended September
30, 2025,
the lower
income tax
expense of
$9.6
million
reflects
the
impact
of
the
tax
withholding
expense
of
$22.9
million
recorded
during
the
first
quarter
of
year
2024,
in
connection with intercompany distributions for years
2014-2024, as disclosed in Note 34 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in
the
2024
Form
10-K,
and
the
benefit of
$5.2 million
related
to
the FDIC
Special
Assessment expense;
excluding this
combined
impact, the adjusted increase of $8.1 million was
due to higher income before tax, net of higher
exempt income.
At September
30, 2025, the
Corporation had a
net deferred tax
asset amounting to
$835.5 million, net
of a
valuation allowance of
$465.0 million. The net
deferred tax asset related
to the U.S. operations
was $238.5 million, net
of a valuation allowance
of $386.9
million.
Upon an
amendment to
the Puerto
Rico internal
revenue code
during the
third quarter
of
2025, the
Corporation elected
to
treat
certain single members
LLCs as disregarded entities,
as allowed by
this amendment, on
its 2024 corporate income
tax return filed
subsequent to the quarter
end in October.
It is expected that
this election will lower
our income tax expense
by approximately $7.7
million during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Refer to
Note 26
to the
Consolidated Financial
Statements for
a reconciliation
of the
statutory income
tax rate
to the
effective tax
rate and additional information on the income
tax expense and 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.
139
For
a
description
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.
The corporate group reported
a net income of
$4.6 million for the
quarter ended September 30,
2025, compared with a
net income
of $0.5 million for the same quarter of
the previous year, mainly due to
higher income from equity method investments.
For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025, the corporate group reported net income of $4.3 million, compared to a net loss of $21.1 million
for
the
same
period
of
the
previous
year.
The
loss
in
2024
was
mainly
attributable
to
the
expense
related
to
the
$22.9
million
adjustment recorded in
the first quarter
of 2024 to
recognize the tax
impact associated with
prior period intercompany
distributions
and
the
additional
$6.5
million
expense
for
the
tax
impact
of
intercompany
distributions
paid
during
the
first
quarter
of
2024.
A
positive adjustment
of $3.9
million was
recorded during
the second
quarter of
2025, resulting
from reimbursements
received from
the IRS
related to
interest paid
for these
intercompany distributions.
There were
no intercompany
distributions between
the U.S.
subsidiaries and
the
bank holding
companies during
- Higher
income from
equity method
investments and
lower expenses,
driven by
professional services, also
contributed to the
positive variance for
the nine months,
partially offset by
lower income from
money market investments due to a decrease in rates.
Highlights on the earnings results for the reportable
segments are discussed below:
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
The Banco Popular
de Puerto Rico
reportable segment’s net
income amounted to
$189.0 million for
the quarter ended
September
30, 2025, compared with a net income of $125.8 million for the same
quarter of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the
variance in the financial results included the following:
●
net interest
income of $550.7
million was higher
by $62.7
million primarily driven
by lower interest
expense on deposits,
mainly from the
re-pricing of P.R.
public funds which are
market-linked,
higher income from U.S.
Treasury securities with
higher yields and higher income from the loan portfolio driven by loan growth, partially offset by
lower income from money
market investments
due to
decline in
short-term market
rates. The
net interest
margin for
the quarter
ended September
30, 2025 was
3.71%, an increase
of 30
basis points, compared
to 3.41% for
the same quarter
in the previous
year. The
increase in
the margin
was mainly
impacted by
lower deposit
costs and
higher yield
from investment
securities, as
well
loan growth,
partially offset by lower rates on money market investments;
●
the provision for
loan losses of
$72.7 million was
lower by $4.5
million mainly driven by
lower reserves for the
consumer
loan
portfolios
due
to
improvements in
credit
quality,
partially
offset
by
a
higher
provision
in
the
commercial
portfolio,
mainly attributable to reserves for two unrelated exposures with an aggregate balance of 188.4 million, which entered into
NPL status during the third quarter of 2025;
●
higher non-interest income by $1.6 million mainly due to higher service fees by $2.7 million mainly due to higher debit and
credit fees due to higher
volume of transactions and higher assets
under management, the income of $5.3 million
related
to a retroactive charge billed to a tenant for energy supplied in prior years, partially offset by lower daily car rental revenue
by $5.0 million
and gains from
the sale of
car rental units
by $1.4 million,
associated with the
car rental business
sold in
the fourth quarter of 2024;
●
higher operating expenses by $9.2
million mostly due to higher
personnel costs by $21.0 million, mainly
due to the profit-
sharing
expense
accrual
and
other
performance-related
incentives,
and
higher
processing
and
transactional
fees
expenses by
$4.0 million,
offset by
lower operational
losses by
$6.2 million,
mainly related
to mortgage
servicing, lower
occupancy
expense
by
$4.3
million
driven
by
a
favorable
reassessment
of
the
real
property
tax
estimate
for
certain
properties in
Puerto Rico,
and lower
equipment expenses
by $3.7
million mainly
related to
the daily
car rental
business
sold in the fourth quarter of 2024; and
●
lower income tax expense by $4.0 million due
mainly to higher exempt income.
140
For
the
nine months
ended September
30,
2025, the
BPPR segment
recorded net
income
of
$539.5 million
compared
to
a
net
income of $404.3 million for the same period of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the variance in the financial results
included the following:
●
net interest
income of
$1.6
billion was
higher by
$161.5 million
primarily driven
by lower
interest expense
on deposits,
mainly from the re-pricing of P.R.
public funds, higher income from investment securities,
mainly U.S. Treasury securities,
and higher
income from
loans due
to portfolio
growth, partially
offset by
lower income
from money
market investments
reflecting the decline in short-term market rates. The
net interest margin for the nine months
ending September 30, 2025,
was 3.66%, 28 basis
points higher when compared
with 3.38% for the same
period of the previous
year. The
increase in
the
margin
was
mainly
impacted
by
lower
cost
of
deposits,
mainly
P.R.
public
deposits,
higher
yield
from
investment
securities and
loan growth,
partially offset
by lower
rates from
money market
investments and
lower balances
as funds
are deployed for loan growth and purchasing U.S.
Treasury securities;
●
the
provision for
loan
losses
of
$168.6
million
was
lower
by
$18.2
million
mainly
attributable to
improvement in
credit
quality for the
credit cards portfolios,
lower balance of
personal loans and
lower reserves in
the leases portfolio,
partially
offset
by
an
increase
in
the
provision
expense
for
the
mortgage
portfolio,
driven
by
lower
net
recoveries,
changes
in
macroeconomic forecasts, and changes in credit quality;
●
lower non-interest
income by
$13.3 million
mainly due
to lower
daily car
rental revenue
by $14.9
million and
gains from
the
sale
of
car
rental
units
by
$7.7
million
associated
with
the
car
rental
business sold
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2024,
partially offset by the above mentioned retroactive
income of $5.3 million, higher service fees by
$4.1 million due to credit
and debit card income,
from higher volume of
transactions and, higher investment management fees
and higher charges
on deposit accounts by $3.3 million mainly due
to non-balance compensation in commercial deposits;
●
higher operating expenses by $28.3 million
mostly due to higher personnel costs
by $38.3 million, including profit sharing
expense
by
$21.2
million
and
higher
salaries
expense
by
$15.5
million
due
to
annual
merit
increases
and
a
higher
headcount, higher regulatory
examination fees, municipal
license tax and
higher technology expenses,
partially offset by
lower equipment
expenses related
to
the daily
rental business
sold
and
lower FDIC
expense due
to
the FDIC
Special
Assessment recorded in 2024; and
●
higher income tax expense by $4.0 million mainly
due to higher income before tax, net of higher
tax exempt income.
Popular U.S.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the reportable
segment of Popular U.S. reported a net income
of $17.8 million,
compared with a net income of $28.8 million
for the same quarter of the previous year. The factors that contributed
to the variance in
the financial results included the following:
●
net interest income of $105.2 million, higher
by $12.1 million due to higher income from
loans by $16.5 million, mainly
from growth in the commercial and construction portfolios,
and lower cost of deposits by $9.3 million due
to the repricing
of high-cost deposits, partially offset by lower income
from money market investments due to lower average
balances and
lower yields reflecting the decrease in short-term
rates. The net interest margin for the quarter
ended September 30, 2025
was 2.94% compared to 2.73% for the same quarter
in the previous year driven by lower
cost of deposits;
●
the provision for loan losses was $1.9 million,
reflecting a higher provision for the commercial
portfolio, offset by lower
provision for the consumer portfolio, compared to a release
of $6.1 million in 2024, which was mainly
related to
improvements in commercial credit quality;
●
higher operating expenses by $19.0 million, reflecting
the goodwill impairment charge related to our U.S.
based
equipment leasing subsidiary of $13.0 million recorded
during the third quarter of 2025, higher personnel
costs driven by
incentives and profit sharing; and higher occupancy
expense; and
141
●
lower income tax expense by $3.7 million due
to lower income before tax.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
the reportable segment of Popular U.S. recorded
net income of $55.2 million,
compared with net income of $53.6 million for
the same period of the previous year. The factors that contributed to
the variance in
the financial results included the following:
●
higher net interest income by $36.5 million
due to higher income from the loans portfolio
mainly related to growth in the
commercial and construction portfolios and lower interest
expense from deposits, due to the repricing of
high-cost
deposits mentioned above, partially offset by lower income
from money market investments due to decline in
short-term
market rates. The net interest margin for the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 was 2.87%
compared to 2.64% for
the same period of the previous year driven by
lower cost of deposits;
●
the provision for loan losses of $20.8 million was
higher by $18.2 million driven by higher
qualitative reserves and
changes in credit quality for the commercial real estate
portfolio, partially offset by lower reserves for
the consumer loans;
●
higher operating expenses by $17.4 million reflecting
the goodwill impairment charge related to our U.S.
based equipment
leasing subsidiary of $13.0 million recorded in 2025;
and higher personnel costs and consulting fees;
offset by lower FDIC
expense due to FDIC Special Assessment recorded
in 2024 and lower professional fees; and
●
higher income tax expense by $0.8 million due
to higher income before tax.
STATEMENT
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
Assets
The
Corporation’s total
assets were
$75.1
billion at
September 30,
2025, compared
to
$73.0 billion
at
December 31,
- The
variance in
total assets
of $2.1
billion was
driven by
an increase
in AFS
securities and
loan growth
across most
portfolios at
both
BPPR and PB segments,
partially offset by a decrease in money market investments, HTM securities,
and other assets. 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 decreased by
$1.6 billion as of
September 30, 2025, when
compared to December 31,
2024, driven by
funds used for loan growth and to purchase U.S. Treasury securities.
AFS securities increased $2.4 billion, mainly due to investment
in
U.S.
Treasury
securities
and
the
decrease
in
the
unrealized
losses
of
AFS
securities
of
$338.6
million,
partially
offset
by
maturities
and
principal
paydowns.
HTM
securities
decreased
by
$324.9
million
driven
by
maturities
and
principal
paydowns,
partially offset
by the
amortization of
$138.7 million
of the
discount related
to U.S.
Treasury securities
previously reclassified from
the 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.
142
Loans
Refer to Table
6 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
increased by
$1.6
billion to
$38.7 billion
at September
30, 2025,
compared to
December 31,
- In
the
BPPR
segment
loan
balances increased
by
$982.8
million
across most
portfolios, most
notably in
the
commercial, construction,
mortgage, auto
loans and leasing
portfolios. Commercial loans
included
the origination
of a
$265.0 million commercial
loan during
the second
quarter of
2025, which
represents the
Corporation’s portion
of a
$425.0 million
issuance in
which BPPR
acted as
the
lead bank
and administrative
agent.
Origination activity
supported the
growth in
the mortgage,
auto loans,
and leasing
portfolios,
despite the uncertainty about the
economic outlook which may continue
to have an impact
on customer behavior.
The PB segment
also increased
by $596.7 million, mainly driven by commercial and
construction lending.
At September
30, 2025,
the Corporation’s
loans to
non-depository financial
institutions (‘’NDFIs’’)
amounted to
$443.6 million,
an
increase of $48.8 million,
compared to December 31,
- The increase was
mainly related to a
loan to an insurance
company in
Puerto
Rico
for
general
corporate
purposes,
offset
by
a
decrease
in
other
exposures,
mainly
to
consumer
intermediaries.
At
September 30, 2025, the
Corporation’s exposure to NDFIs
was composed of approximately $272.4
million to insurance companies
for
general corporate
purposes
unrelated to
lending activities,
$85.6 million
related
to
mortgage credit
intermediaries, and
$85.6
million to consumer
and commercial credit
intermediaries. All loans
to NDFIs are
current in their
contractual payments and
carry a
‘pass’ rating.

a

when
compared
to

billion
at

- The
variance was
mainly driven
by a
decrease in
net deferred
tax assets
of $89.0
million due
to a
positive
variance
in
the
valuation
of
AFS
securities,
a
reduction
in
unsettled
trade
receivables
of
$13.8
million
related
to
proceeds
from
maturities of U.S. Treasury securities,
and lower principal, interest and escrow servicing advances of $12.6 million, partially offset by
an increase in capitalized software
costs of $45.8 million
mainly related to technology modernization,
higher prepaid taxes of
$11.5
million, and higher trades receivable from brokers and counterparties of
$9.1 million. Refer to Note 10 to
the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a breakdown
of the principal categories
that comprise the caption
of “Other Assets” in
the Consolidated Statements
of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024.
Liabilities
The Corporation’s total liabilities were $69.0 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.5 billion, when compared to December
31, 2024. The following is a discussion of
the significant changes in liabilities.
Deposits and Borrowings
Total Deposits
The Corporation’s
deposits totaled
$66.5 billion
as of
September 30,
2025, compared
to
$64.9 billion
as
of
December 31,
2024.
Ending
deposit
balances
increased
by
$1.6
billion,
while
average
quarterly
balances
grew
by
$2.9
billion.
The
average
deposit
balance, excluding
P.R.
public deposits,
increased by
$1.5
billion. Non-interest-bearing
deposits remained
flat when
compared to
December 31, 2024, demonstrating the impact of the Corporation’s
continued focus on deposit retention strategies.
At the end of the
third quarter of 2025, Puerto Rico public deposits were $20.1 billion, an increase of $612.7 million when compared to
December 31,
- P.R
public deposits
represent 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.
At BPPR,
excluding Puerto
Rico public
deposits, ending
deposits increased
by $178
million, while
at PB
segment ending
deposit
balances increased by $616 million, net of intercompany
activity.
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 7 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s deposits at September 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024.

Borrowings
The Corporation’s borrowings totaled $1.2
billion at September 30, 2025
an increase of $70.7 million
when compared to December
31,
2024.
The
increase
was
mainly
related
to
higher
FHLB
advances
by
$67.6
million,
mainly
at
PB.
Refer

Note
13
to
the
Consolidated Financial
Statements for

Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity
totaled $6.1
billion
at September
30, 2025,
an increase
of
$502.6 million
when compared
to
December 31,
- The increase was principally due to net income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $599.3
million, coupled with
the after-tax effect of the decrease in net unrealized losses in the portfolio of AFS securities
of $283.4 million and the amortization of
unrealized losses from securities previously reclassified to
HTM of $
111
.0 million, partially offset by
an increase in treasury stock of
$346.0 million, mainly due to common stock repurchases and the common and preferred dividends declared of $147.7
million. Refer
to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Comprehensive Income and Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for information
on the composition of stockholders’ equity.

provide that a
depository institution is
deemed to be

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

ratio of
at least 6.5%,
a Tier

and

respectively
as
of
September 30, 2025, continue to exceed the minimum
requirements for being “well-capitalized” under
the Basel III capital rules.
Pursuant
to
the
adoption
of
the
CECL
accounting
standard
on
January
1,
2020,
the
Corporation
elected
to
use
the
five-year
transition
period option
as
provided in
the
final
interim
regulatory capital
rules effective
March 31,
2020.
The
five-year
transition
period provision delayed for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period
to phase out
the aggregate amount of
the capital benefit provided
during the initial two-year
delay. During
the first quarter
of 2025,
the Corporation phased-in all the cumulative CECL
deferral over the three-year transition period.
The decrease in the common equity Tier
I capital ratio, Tier
I capital ratio, total capital ratio,
and leverage ratio as of September 30,
2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 was mainly due to the repurchase of common stock, common stock dividends,
and higher
risk
weighted
assets
driven
by
the
increase
in
loans
held-in-portfolio
and
higher
non-performing
loans
held-in-portfolio,
partially
offset by the nine-month period’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
$20.7 billion
and
$7.4 billion,
respectively,
as of September
30, 2025. Other
assets subject to
market risk include
mortgage servicing rights
("MSRs") with a
fair
value of $99.5 million as of September 30, 2025.
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 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
September
30,
2025
and
December
31,
2024,
assuming
a
static
balance sheet and parallel changes over flat spot rates
over a one-year time horizon:

As
of
September
30,
2025,
NII
simulations
showed
a
shift
in
the
Corporation’s
sensitivity
position
to
become
liability
sensitive.
Compared to the results as of December 31, 2024, the variation in sensitivity and the resulting profile was mainly due to an increase
in asset
duration driven
by the
extension of
U.S. Treasury
Notes and
a decline
in U.S.
Treasury Bills
and excess
reserves at
the
FRB as
part of
a decision
to reduce
sensitivity to
declining rate
scenarios. In
rising rate
scenarios, Popular’s
net interest
income
would decrease
due to
the lower
volume of
short-term assets
as a
result of
the investment
portfolio extension strategy
combined
with higher deposits costs due to BPPR’s large proportion of market-linked Puerto
Rico public sector deposits, this would be partially
offset by
variable rate
loan repricing
and intermediate
maturity assets
coming due
within one
year.
Changes in
the balance
sheet
during the quarter
that contributed to
the variance in
sensitivity include the
purchase of $2.5
billion in U.S.
Treasury Notes
with an
average maturity of approximately 1.4 years, in addition
to higher fixed rate loan balances.
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
September
30,
2025,
the
Corporation
held
trading
securities
with
a
fair
value
of
$33.1
million,
representing
0.04%
of
the
Corporation’s
total
assets,
compared
with
$32.8
million
and
0.05%,
respectively,
at
December
31,
2024.
The
trading
portfolio
consists
principally of
investment grade
securities
such
as mortgage-backed
securities
of
$24.3
million with
a
weighted average
yield of 5.23% and U.S. Treasuries
of $8.0 million with a weighted average
yield of 2.57% at September 30, 2025
and $29.1 million
with a yield of 5.54% and $2.8 million with a
yield of 3.28%, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
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.
The
Corporation’s
trading
portfolio had
a
5-day
VAR
of
$0.4
million
for
the
last
week
of
September 2025.
VAR
models
include
assumptions and
estimates
thus actual
results could
differ from
the outputs
from these
models and
assumptions. Back-testing
is
performed
on
model
results
to
compare
actual
results
against
maximum
estimated
losses,
in
order
to
evaluate
model
and
assumptions accuracy.
In the opinion of management, the size and composition
of the trading portfolio does not represent
a significant source of market risk
for the Corporation.

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 2024
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
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% of funding of the
Corporation’s total assets at September 30,
2025 and December 31,
- The ratio
of total ending
loans to deposits
was 58% and
57% at September
30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, respectively.
In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation
maintains borrowing arrangements, which amounted to $1.2 billion
in outstanding
balances
at
September
30,
2025
(December
31,
2024
-
$1.2
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.
During the second quarter of 2025, BPPR was able to increase its available
liquidity by approximately $2.9 billion after the merger of
Popular Auto, LLC with
and into BPPR, effective
on May 1,
2025, that allowed BPPR
to pledge auto loans
and leases as collateral
under the federal reserve’s
discount window. At
September 30, 2025, the
Corporation’s available liquidity increased to
$25.8 billion
from $21.6
billion on
December 31, 2024.
During the third
quarter of
2025, the
Corporation had no
material incremental use
of its
available liquidity sources. The liquidity sources of
the Corporation at September 30, 2025 are
presented in Table 12 below:

Refer
to
Note
13
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
for
additional
information
of
the
Corporation’s
borrowing
facilities
available through its banking subsidiaries.
The principal
uses of
funds for
the banking
subsidiaries include
loan originations,
investment portfolio
purchases, loan
purchases
and repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios and operational
expenses. Also, the
banking subsidiaries assume liquidity
risk related to collateral
posting requirements for certain
activities mainly
in
connection
with
contractual
commitments,
recourse
provisions,
servicing
advances,
derivatives
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
7 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
funds,
which
are
fully
collateralized, have
historically provided
the Corporation
with a
sizable source
of relatively
stable and
low-cost funds.
P.R.
public
funds, while
linked to market
interest rates,
provide a stable
source of funding
with an
attractive earning spread.
As of
September
30, 2025, total Puerto Rico public sector deposits were
$20.1 billion, compared to $19.5 billion at December
31, 2024.
Core deposits represent 92%
of total deposits at
$60.9 billion, as of
September 30, 2025, compared with
92% at $59.9 billion
as of
December 31, 2024. Core
deposits financed 85% of
the Corporation’s earning assets
at September 30, 2025,
compared to 86% at
December 31, 2024.
The distribution by maturity
of certificates of deposit
with denominations of $250,000
and over at September
30, 2025 is
presented
in the table that follows:

The Corporation had
$1.8 billion in
brokered deposits at September
30, 2025, which
financed approximately
2% of its
total assets
(December 31, 2024 - $1.6 billion and 2%,
respectively).
As of
September 30, 2025,
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
a
stress
event.
Although the
banking
subsidiaries
have
historically
been
able
to
replace
maturing
deposits and
advances, no
assurance can
be given
that
they
would be
able to
replace those
funds
in the
future if
the
Corporation’s
financial condition
or
general market
conditions
were to
deteriorate. The
Corporation’s financial
flexibility 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
14 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
territories.
Collateralized public funds, as presented in Table 14, 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
September
30,
2025
and
$594
million
at
December 31, 2024.
The contractual maturities of the BHCs notes payable
at September 30, 2025 are presented in Table 15.

Later years

Total
$
594,642
156
As of
September 30,
2025, the
BHCs had
cash and
money markets
investments totaling
$484 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 $0.70
per share
or approximately
$47
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
third
quarter
of
2025,
the
Corporation
declared
a
quarterly
common
stock
dividend
of
$0.75
per
common
share,
an
increase from $0.70 per common share in the previous quarter. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation
declared
cash
dividends
of
$2.15
per
common
share
outstanding
($146.6
million
in
the
aggregate).
The
dividends
for
the
Corporation’s Series A preferred stock amounted to $1.1
million.
During the nine months
ended September 30, 2025, the
BHCs received dividends and
distributions amounting to $350
million from
BPPR, $23
from Popular
International Bank,
Inc. (“PIBI”)
and $22
million from
its other
non-banking subsidiaries.
Dividends from
BPPR constitute Popular,
Inc.’s primary source
of liquidity.
In addition, during
the nine months
ended September 30, 2025,
PIBI, a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
Popular,
Inc.,
received
$20.0
million
in
cash
dividends
and
$5.3
million
in
stock
dividends
from
its
investment in BHD.
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
September
30,
2025,
BPPR
could declare a dividend of up to approximately $237 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 September 30, 2025, the debt securities portfolio provides 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
12
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
157
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 September 30,
2025,
and December 31, 2024, and the
results of their operations for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and September
30, 2024. 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
are also presented separately.

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 2024 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
area and by
business segment reporting are
presented in Note

Consolidated Financial Statements. Readers should
refer
to
Economic
and

Risk
section
and
Business
Risk
Section
of
“Part
I,
Item
1A”
of
the
2024
Form
10-K
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
2024) 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
Index
showed a 0.9% year-over-year decline and a 0.2% month-over-month decline in June 2025. 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
issues.
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
September
2025,
the
U.S.
Consumer Price Index
showed a 3.0%
year-over-year increase, which
is significantly lower
than peak
2022 inflation levels
but still
above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. In Puerto Rico,
the Consumer Price Index increased by 1.9%
over the same period.
Moreover, since October 1,
2025, a congressional impasse over fiscal year
2026 appropriations has triggered a partial shutdown
of
numerous U.S. federal agencies and
services. The shutdown has disrupted,
and may continue to
disrupt, federal payments to
U.S.
government
employees, beneficiaries
of
federal
programs
and transfers
to
the Puerto
Rico
government. While
these
disruptions
could adversely affect
our customers and
the broader Puerto
Rico economy,
the overall impact
remains uncertain and
will depend
largely on the shutdown’s duration and scope.
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
2016.
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”).
160
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
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 remains subject to potential
appeal. 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

Non-Performing Assets
During
the
third
quarter
of
2025,
the
Corporation’s
credit
quality
metrics
were
affected
by
two
significant
unrelated
commercial
exposures,
resulting in
a
$188.4
million
increase in
NPLs.
The
determination
of
classifying
these
loans
as
NPLs
was
driven
by
factors specific to the individual borrowers and
are not believed to be indicative of a broader
decline in portfolio credit quality.
The first
loan classified
as NPL
is a
$158.3 million
commercial and
industrial facility
issued to
a telecommunications
company in
Puerto Rico
experiencing reduced
revenue due
to operational
challenges following
a business
acquisition and
client attrition.
The
161
second
loan
classified
as
NPL
is
a
$30.1
million
commercial
real
estate
facility,
following
a
$13.5
million
charge-off
during
the
quarter, and is secured by a hotel property in Florida.
Excluding these cases, credit quality metrics were stable. The Corporation
continues to closely monitor the economic landscape and
borrower performance,
as economic
uncertainty remains
a key
consideration. The
Corporation’s experience
managing credit
risk
under different
macroeconomic and operating
environments and, more
recently,
the steps
taken around
credit tightening
supports
management’s view
that exposure to
riskier borrowers is
adequately managed. Nonetheless, carefully
monitoring the
performance
of our loan portfolio and its response to the
environment will continue to be a priority.
Total NPAs
of $545.2 million as of September 30, 2025, increased by $137.1
million when compared with December 31, 2024. Total
NPLs of
$502.2 million increased
by $151.4
million from December
31, 2024.
BPPR’s NPLs
increased by $161.3
million, primarily
due to the classification of the two commercial exposures with book values of $158.3 million and $30.1 million as NPLs, partly offset
by lower mortgage NPLs by $18.5 million.
Popular U.S. NPLs decreased by $9.9 million, mostly
driven by decreases of $6.9 million
and $2.1 million in commercial and mortgage NPLs,
respectively.
On September
30, 2025,
the ratio
of NPLs
to total
loans held-in-portfolio was
1.30%, compared to
0.95% on
December 31,
2024.
Other real estate owned loans (“OREOs”) totaled $43.0
million, a decrease of $14.3 million from December
31, 2024. On September
30,
2025,
NPLs secured
by
real estate
amounted to
$211
million in
the Puerto
Rico
operations and
$47
million
in Popular
U.S,
compared with $200 million and $56 million, respectively, on December
31, 2024.
The Corporation’s commercial loan
portfolio secured by real
estate (“CRE”) amounted to $11.0
billion on September 30, 2025,
with
$3.1 billion secured by owner-occupied properties
(December 31, 2024 - $10.9 billion and $3.2
billion, respectively).
CRE NPLs amounted to
$78.4 million on September
30, 2025, compared with $53.7
million on December 31,
- The CRE NPL
ratios
for
the
BPPR
and
Popular
U.S.
segments
were
1.31%
and
0.25%,
respectively,
on
September
30,
2025,
compared
with
0.64% and 0.37%, respectively, on December 31, 2024.
The non-owner occupied CRE portfolio was $5.5 billion at September
30, 2025, split between $3.3 billion in BPPR and $2.2 billion in
Popular U.S. This portfolio is diversified across sectors: retail (33%), hotels (19%),
and office space (13%) which together represent
two-thirds of
total non-owner
occupied CRE
exposure. Specifically,
office space
leasing accounts
for just
1.8% ($713.4
million) of
the total
loan portfolio,
mainly comprising
mid-rise
properties with
an average
loan size
of $2.5
million, and
is well
diversified by
tenant type.
Within CRE, the
commercial multi-family portfolio is
$2.5 billion (approximately 6%
of total loans),
concentrated in New
York
Metro
($1.5 billion), South Florida ($672.2 million) and Puerto Rico ($199.6
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
18,
on
September
30,
2025,
there
were
$724
million
of
performing
loans,
mostly
commercial
loans,
which
in
management’s
opinion,
are
currently
subject
to
potential
future
classification
as
non-performing
(December 31, 2024 - $596 million).

[1] There were no non-performing loans held-for-sale
as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
[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
$49 million
of residential
mortgage
loans insured
by FHA
or guaranteed
by the
VA
that are
no longer
accruing interest
as of
September 30,
2025 (December
31, 2024
- $65
million).
Furthermore, the Corporation
has $29 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,
2024 -
$31 million).
For the quarter
ended September 30,
2025, total inflows
of NPLs held-in-portfolio,
excluding consumer loans, increased
by $187.0
million, when compared to the inflows for the same period in 2024. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment increased
by $205.2
million, compared
to the
same period
in 2024,
mainly driven
by the
two commercial
exposures that
were classified
as
NPLs during
the quarter.
Inflows of
NPLs held-in-portfolio
at the
Popular U.S.
segment decreased
by $18.2
million from
the same
period in 2024, driven by lower mortgage NPL
inflows by $17.4 million.
Tables 19 to 25 present the Corporation’s inflows to NPLs for the quarters and nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Loans delinquent 30 days or more includes $0.4 billion
of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed
by the VA as of September
30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $0.4 billion). Refer to Note
7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
of guaranteed loans.
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. Refer to
Note 8 to
the Consolidated Financial
Statements, for additional
information on the
Corporation’s methodology to
estimate its ACL.
At September
30, 2025,
the ACL increased
by $40.2
million from
December 31,
2024 to
$786.2 million. The
increase in
ACL was
mainly
driven
by
a
combination
of
changes
in
the
economic
scenario
probability
weights,
increases
in
qualitative
reserves
in
response to
the current
economic environment uncertainty,
higher loan volumes,
and a
specific reserve
recognized for the
$158.3
million commercial NPL inflow described above. These increases
were offset in part by the net effect of changes in
credit quality and
NCOs during
the period.
Given that
any economic
outlook is
inherently uncertain, the
Corporation leverages multiple
scenarios to
estimate its ACL. Prior to the first quarter of 2025, the Corporation assigned the baseline scenario the highest probability among the
scenarios
used
to
estimate
the
ACL,
followed
by
the
pessimistic
scenario
given
the
uncertainties
in
the
economic
outlook
and
downside risk, and
the optimistic scenario
had the lowest
probability. During
the first quarter
of 2025, the
Corporation modified the
weight assigned
to the
pessimistic scenario to
be equal
to the
baseline scenario
in response
to the
current economic
uncertainty,
resulting in
an increase
of $18.2
million in
the reserves.
In
the second
quarter of
2025, the
probability weight
for the
pessimistic
167
scenario was moderately decreased based on changes in the economic outlook and a reassessment of uncertainty compared to the
previous
quarter.
This
change
resulted
in
a
$4.5
million
reduction
in
ACL
reserve
levels,
for
a
$13.7
million
net
increase
from
December
31,
2024.
The
probability
weight
for
the
pessimistic
scenario
remains
above
the
levels
observed
in
2024,
given
the
ongoing economic uncertainty.
At September 30, 2025, the ACL for BPPR increased by $24.7 million from December 31, 2024, driven by changes in the probability
weights that
resulted in
a
$8.8 million
net ACL
increase, higher
loan volumes,
and
a specific
reserve recognized
for
the
$158.3
million commercial NPL
inflow described above.
These increases were partially
offset by
improvements in credit
quality and NCOs
during the
period. In
PB, the
ACL increased
by $15.5
million, when
compared to
December 31,
- This
increase was
mainly
driven by higher qualitative reserves for the CRE portfolio in response to current market volatility and economic uncertainty, coupled
with changes in the probability weights that resulted in
a $4.9 million net increase.
The Corporation’s ratio of the allowance for
credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 2.03%
on September 30, 2025, compared to
2.01% on December
31, 2024. The
ratio of the
ACL to NPLs
held-in-portfolio stood at 156.6%,
compared to 212.7%
on December
31, 2024.
Tables
27 and
28 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.

NCOs for
the quarter
ended September
30, 2025,
amounted to
$57.8 million,
decreasing by
$0.7 million
when compared
to
the
same period in 2024. The BPPR
segment increased by $2.0 million, mainly driven
by an increase of $9.9 million
and $1.7 million in
commercial and mortgage NCOs, respectively,
mostly due to a $13.5 million charge-off related to the $30.1 million commercial
NPL
inflow, partially
offset by a decrease
of $10.5 million in consumer
NCOs. The PB segment NCOs
decreased by $2.7 million, mainly
driven by lower consumer NCOs by $3.0 million
NCOs for the nine
months ended September 30, 2025,
amounted to $149.1 million, decreasing by
$25.3 million when compared to
the same period in 2024. The BPPR segment decreased by $16.6 million, mainly driven
by a decrease of $17.5 million in consumer
NCOs. The PB segment NCOs decreased by $8.6
million, mainly driven by lower consumer NCOs by
$7.9 million.
Loan Modifications
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, modified loans to borrowers with financial difficulty amounted to $156.0 million, of which
$146.8 million were in
accruing status. The BPPR segment’s modifications
to borrowers with financial difficulty
amounted to $154.5
million, mainly comprised of commercial and mortgage loans of $130.1
million and $17.7 million, respectively. A total of $12.9 million
of
the
mortgage
modifications
were
related
to
government
guaranteed
loans.
The
Popular
U.S.
segment’s
modifications
to
borrowers with financial difficulty amounted to $1.4 million,
mostly comprised of commercial loans.

Officer and Chief
Financial Officer,
has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
