Forward-Looking Information

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, future performance and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, are based on management’s current expectations and, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions. Potential factors, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation the effect of competitive and economic factors, and our reaction to those factors, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, delinquency trends, market risk and the impact of interest rate changes, capital markets conditions, capital adequacy and liquidity, and the effect of legal and regulatory proceedings and new accounting standards on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” “may” or similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

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

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

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

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

 the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic (including the appearance of new strains of the virus), actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on us, our customers, service providers and third parties;

 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 in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and the rate of expenditure of such funds, as well as the timeline and outcome of current Puerto Rico debt restructuring proceedings under Title III of PROMESA;

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

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

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

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

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

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

3

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

 the performance of the stock and bond markets;

 competition in the financial services industry;

 possible legislative, tax or regulatory changes; and

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

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

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

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

 potential judgments, claims, damages, penalties, fines and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation and regulatory or government actions, including as a result of our participation in and execution of government programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic;

 changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations;

 our ability to grow our core businesses;

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

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

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

Moreover, the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings, as discussed in “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings,” is inherently uncertain and depends on judicial interpretations of law and the findings of regulators, judges and/or juries. Investors should refer to the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as “Part II, Item 1A” of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for a discussion of such factors and certain risks and uncertainties to which the Corporation is subject.

4

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 consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared without audit. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data at December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements are, in the opinion of management, a fair statement of the results for the periods reported and include all necessary adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, for a fair statement of such results.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Corporation’s 2020 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.

Note 3 - New accounting pronouncements

|  | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates
|  | Standard |  | Description | Date of adoption | Effect on the financial statements
|  | FASB ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20 – Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs |  | The FASB issued ASU 2020-08 in October 2020 which clarifies that a reporting entity should assess whether a callable debt security purchased at a premium is within the scope of ASC 310-20-35-33 each reporting period, which impacts the amortization period for nonrefundable fees and other costs. | January 1, 2021 | The Corporation was not impacted by the adoption of ASU 2020-08 during the first quarter of 2021 since it does not currently hold purchased callable debt securities at a premium.
|  | FASB ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815 |  | The FASB issued ASU 2020-01 in January 2020, which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 and includes scope considerations for entities that hold certain non-derivative forward contracts and purchased options to acquire equity securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchase option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. | January 1, 2021 | The Corporation was not impacted by the adoption of ASU 2020-01 during the first quarter of 2021 since it does not hold certain non-derivative forward contracts and purchased options to acquire equity securities that, upon settlement of the forward or exercise of the purchase option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Notwithstanding, it will consider this guidance for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in ASC Topic 321 immediately before applying or discontinuing the equity method of accounting.
|  | FASB ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes |  | The FASB issued ASU 2019-12 in December 2019, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions such as the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. In addition, the ASU simplifies GAAP in a number of areas such as when separate financial statements of legal entities are not subject to tax and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. | January 1, 2021 | The Corporation adopted ASU 2019-12 during the first quarter of 2021 but was not materially impacted by the amendments of this ASU. It will consider this guidance for enacted changes in tax laws, subsequent step-ups in the tax basis of goodwill, or ownership changes in investments.

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. Those required average reserve balances amounted to $ 2.5 billion at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $ 2.3 billion). Cash and due from banks, as well as other highly liquid securities, are used to cover the required average reserve balances.

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation held $ 41 million in restricted assets in the form of funds deposited in money market accounts, debt securities available for sale and equity securities (December 31, 2020 - $ 39 million). The restricted assets held in debt securities available for sale and equity securities consist primarily of assets held for the Corporation’s non-qualified retirement plans and fund deposits guaranteeing possible liens or encumbrances over the title of insured properties.

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

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

There were no debt securities sold during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The following tables present the Corporation’s fair value and gross unrealized losses of debt securities available-for-sale, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, the portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities reflects gross unrealized losses of approximately $251 million, driven mainly by mortgage-backed securities, which were impacted by increases in the interest rate environment.

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

Credit Quality Indicators

The following describes the credit quality indicators by major security type that the Corporation considers in its’ estimate to develop the allowance for credit losses for investment securities held-to-maturity.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions” classified as held-to-maturity, includes securities issued by municipalities of Puerto Rico that are generally not rated by a credit rating agency. This includes $33 million of general and special obligation bonds issued by three municipalities of Puerto Rico, that are payable primarily from certain property taxes imposed by the issuing municipality (December 31, 2020 - $35 million). In the case of general obligations, they also benefit from a pledge of the full faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of the issuing municipality, which is required by law to levy property taxes in an amount sufficient for the payment of debt service on such general obligation bonds. The Corporation performs periodic credit quality reviews of these securities and internally assigns standardized credit risk ratings based on its evaluation. The Corporation considers these ratings in its estimate to develop the allowance for credit losses associated with these securities. For the definitions of the obligor risk ratings, refer to the Credit Quality section of Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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

|  | At March 31, 2021 | At December 31, 2020
(In thousands) | Securities issued by Puerto Rico municipalities
Watch | $ | 32,590 | $ | 35,315
Total | $ | 32,590 | $ | 35,315

At March 31, 2021, the portfolio of “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions” also includes $45 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, 2020 - $46 million). These securities are not rated by a credit rating agency. The Corporation assesses the credit risk associated with these securities by evaluating the refreshed FICO scores of a representative sample of the underlying borrowers. At March 31, 2021, the average refreshed FICO score for the representative sample, comprised of 67% of the nominal value of the securities, used for the loss estimate was of 697 (compared to 66% and 697, respectively, at December 31, 2020). 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 further deterioration of the Puerto Rico economy or of the fiscal health of the Government of Puerto Rico and/or its instrumentalities (including if any of the issuing municipalities become subject to a debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA) could further affect the value of these securities, resulting in losses to the Corporation.

Refer to Note 20 for additional information on the Corporation’s exposure to the Puerto Rico Government.

Delinquency status

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no securities held-to-maturity in past due or non-performing status.

[1] | It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90 days or more as opposed to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These include loans rebooked, which were previously pooled into GNMA securities amounting to $29 million. Under the GNMA program, issuers such as BPPR have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected (rebooked) on the financial statements of BPPR with an offsetting liability. Loans in our serviced GNMA portfolio benefit from payment forbearance programs but continue to reflect the contractual delinquency until the borrower repays deferred payments or completes a payment deferral modification or other borrower assistance alternative.
[2] | Loans held-in-portfolio are net of $213 million in unearned income and exclude $84 million in loans held-for-sale.
[3] | Includes $6.3 billion pledged to secure credit facilities and public funds that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $4.0 billion were pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") as collateral for borrowings and $2.3 billion at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") for discount window borrowings.

[1] | Loans included as 90 days or more past due include loans that that are not delinquent in their payment terms but that are reported as nonperforming due to other credit quality considerations. As part of the adoption of CECL, at January 1, 2020, the Corporation reclassified to this category $134 million of acquired loans with credit deterioration that were previously excluded from non-performing status. In addition, as part of the CECL transition, an additional $125 million of loans that were 90 days or more past due previously excluded from non-performing status are now included as non-performing.
[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 include $57 million in loans rebooked under the GNMA program at December 31, 2020, in which issuers such as BPPR have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due.

[1] | It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90 days or more as opposed to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These include loans rebooked, which were previously pooled into GNMA securities amounting to $57 million. Under the GNMA program, issuers such as BPPR have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected (rebooked) on the financial statements of BPPR with an offsetting liability. Loans in our serviced GNMA portfolio benefit from payment forbearance programs but continue to reflect the contractual delinquency until the borrower repays deferred payments or completes a payment deferral modification or other borrower assistance alternative.
[2] | Loans included as 90 days or more past due include loans that that are not delinquent in their payment terms but that are reported as nonperforming due to other credit quality considerations. As part of the adoption of CECL, at January 1, 2020, the Corporation reclassified to this category $134 million of acquired loans with credit deterioration that were previously excluded from non-performing status. In addition, as part of the CECL transition, an additional $144 million of loans that were 90 days or more past due previously excluded from non-performing status are now included as non-performing.
[3] | Loans held-in-portfolio are net of $203 million in unearned income and exclude $99 million in loans held-for-sale.
[4] | Includes $6.5 billion pledged to secure credit facilities and public funds that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral, of which $4.1 billion were pledged at the FHLB as collateral for borrowings and $2.4 billion at the FRB for discount window borrowings.

Recognition of interest income on mortgage loans is generally discontinued when loans are 90 days or more in arrears on payments of principal or interest. The Corporation discontinues the recognition of interest income on residential mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) when 15 months delinquent as to principal or interest, since the principal repayment on these loans is insured.

At March 31, 2021, mortgage loans held-in-portfolio include $2.1 billion (December 31, 2020 - $2.1 billion) of loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) of which $0.8 billion (December 31, 2020 - $1.0 million) are 90 days or more past due. These balances include $675 million in loans modified under a TDR (December 31, 2020 - $655 million), that are presented as accruing loans. The portfolio of U.S. guaranteed loans includes $341 million of residential mortgage loans in Puerto Rico that are no longer accruing interest as of March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $329 million). The Corporation has approximately $58 million in reverse mortgage loans in Puerto Rico which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $60 million).

Loans with a delinquency status of 90 days past due as of March 31, 2021 include $29 million in loans previously pooled into GNMA securities (December 31, 2020 - $57 million). Under the GNMA program, issuers such as BPPR have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected on the financial statements of BPPR with an offsetting liability. Loans in our serviced GNMA portfolio benefit from payment forbearance programs but continue to reflect the contractual delinquency until the borrower repays deferred payments or completes a payment deferral modification or other borrower assistance alternative.

Loans in non-accrual status with no allowance at March 31, 2021 include $299 million in collateral dependent loans (December 31, 2020 - $203 million). The Corporation recognized $4 million in interest income on non-accrual loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (March 31, 2020 - $3 million).

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

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class of loans and type of collateral as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

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 allowance for credit losses (“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 purchased credit deteriorated (“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 charged to current operations is based on this methodology. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ACL.

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation estimated the ACL by weighting the outputs of optimistic, baseline, and pessimistic scenarios. Among the three scenarios used to estimate the ACL, the baseline is assigned the highest probability, followed by the pessimistic scenario given the uncertainties in the economic outlook and downside risk. The weights applied are subject to evaluation on a quarterly basis as part of the ACL’s governance process. The current baseline scenario shows improvement in both 2021 GDP growth and unemployment rate when compared to previous estimates. The 2021 forecasted GDP growth is now at 4.9% for U.S. and 3.4% for P.R., compared to 4.1% and 2.5%, respectively, in the previous 2021 forecast. Expectations for 2022 also present an improvement over the prior forecast. The U.S. and P.R. forecasted unemployment rate average for 2021 is now 6.09% and 7.98%, respectively. This is an improvement over the previous estimate of 7.41% for U.S. and 8.34% for P.R. The reduction in ACL for the loans portfolio and the reserve for unfunded commitments of $82.1 million is mainly attributed to the improvements in the macroeconomic forecast.

The following tables present the changes in the ACL of loans held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Modifications

A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. For a summary of the accounting policy related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 to the 2020 Form 10-K.

The outstanding balance of loans classified as TDRs amounted to $ 1.7 billion at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $ 1.7 billion). The amount of outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs amounted to $14 million related to the commercial loan portfolio at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $14 million).

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation implemented a relief program in March 2020 to work with eligible customers in mortgage, personal loans, credit cards, auto loans and leases and certain commercial credit facilities, comprised mainly of payment deferrals of up to six months, subject to certain terms and conditions. In addition, certain participating clients impacted by the seismic activity in the Southern region of the island also benefitted from other loan payment moratoriums offered by the Corporation since mid-January 2020. These loan modifications do not affect the asset quality measures as the deferred payments are not deemed to be delinquent and the Corporation continues to accrue interest on these loans. The Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly enacted legislation in April 2020 that required financial institutions to offer through June 2020 moratoriums on consumer financial products to clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and extended relief with respect to mortgage products through August 2020. Additionally, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), signed by the President of the United States as part of an economic stimulus package, provides relief related to U.S. GAAP requirements for loan modifications related to COVID-19 relief measures. This relief was subsequently extended until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the national COVID-19 emergency ends. In addition, the Federal Reserve, along with other U.S. banking regulators, also issued interagency guidance to financial institutions that offers some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. According to the interagency guidance, COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to consumer or commercial loans that were current as of the date of the loan modification are not TDRs, since the lender can conclude that the borrower is current on their loan and thus not experiencing financial difficulties and furthermore the period of the deferral granted does not represent a more than insignificant concession on the part of the lender. In addition, a modification or deferral program that is mandated by the federal government or a state government (e.g., a state program that requires all institutions within that state to suspend mortgage payments for a specified period) does not represent a TDR. As of March 31, 2021, approximately $34 million of loan payment moratoriums granted under the COVID-19 relief program have been classified as TDRs. In making this determination, the Corporation considered the criteria of whether the borrower was in financial difficulty at the time of the deferral and whether the deferral period was more than insignificant.

35

Excluding government guaranteed loans, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation had 122,216 loans with an aggregate book value of $6.8 billion that had completed their moratorium period, of which 114,900 loans, or 94%, with an aggregate book value of $6.5 billion were current in their payments.

The following tables present, by class, TDRs that were subject to payment default and that had been modified as a TDR during the twelve months preceding the default date. Payment default is defined as a restructured loan becoming 90 days past due after being modified, foreclosed 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 as a TDR that were fully paid down, charged-off or foreclosed upon by period end are not reported.

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

Credit Quality

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

The following tables present the amortized cost basis, net of unearned income, of loans held-in-portfolio based on the Corporation’s assignment of obligor risk ratings as defined at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 9 – Mortgage banking activities

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

The following table presents the components of mortgage banking activities:

[1] | The Corporation, from time to time, repurchases delinquent loans from its GNMA servicing portfolio, in compliance with Guarantor guidelines, and may incur in losses related to previously advanced interest on delinquent loans. Effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation has determined to present these losses as part of its Mortgage Banking Activities, which were previously presented within the indemnity reserves on loans sold component of non-interest income. The amount of these losses for prior years were considered immaterial for reclassification.

Note 10 – Transfers of financial assets and mortgage servicing assets

The Corporation typically transfers conforming residential mortgage loans in conjunction with GNMA and FNMA securitization transactions whereby the loans are exchanged for cash or securities and servicing rights. As seller, the Corporation has made certain representations and warranties with respect to the originally transferred loans and, in the past, has sold certain loans with credit recourse to a government-sponsored entity, namely FNMA. Refer to Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of such arrangements.

No liabilities were incurred as a result of these securitizations during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 because they did not contain any credit recourse arrangements. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recorded a net gain of $3.7 million (March 31, 2020 - $3.8 million) related to the residential mortgage loans securitized.

The following tables present the initial fair value of the assets obtained as proceeds from residential mortgage loans securitized during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation retained servicing rights on whole loan sales involving approximately $65 million in principal balance outstanding (March 31, 2020 - $10 million), with net realized gains of approximately $1.3 million (March 31, 2020 - gains of $0.2 million). All loan sales performed during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were without credit recourse agreements.

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

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

The following table presents the changes in MSRs measured using the fair value method for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $12.7 billion at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $12.9 billion).

Net mortgage servicing fees, a component of mortgage banking activities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the MSRs, including changes due to collection / realization of expected cash flows. The banking subsidiaries receive servicing fees based on a percentage of the outstanding loan balance. These servicing fees are credited to income when they are collected. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, those weighted average mortgage servicing fees were 0.30%. Under these servicing agreements, the banking subsidiaries do not generally earn significant prepayment penalty fees on the underlying loans serviced.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, PB commenced selling whole loans with servicing retained. At March 31, 2021, PB had MSRs amounting to $1.0 million.

The section below includes information on assumptions used in the valuation model of the MSRs, originated and purchased. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the servicing rights derived from loans securitized or sold by the Corporation during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

| Quarters ended
| March 31, 2021 |  | March 31, 2020
| BPPR | PB |  | BPPR | PB
Prepayment speed | 8.8 | % | 21.4 | % |  | 5.9 | % | - | %
Weighted average life (in years) | 7.2 |  | 3.5 |  |  | 9.8 |  | - |
Discount rate (annual rate) | 10.5 | % | 11.0 | % |  | 10.9 | % | - | %

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

|  | Originated MSRs | Purchased MSRs
|  | March 31, | December 31, | March 31, | December 31,
(In thousands) | 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020
Fair value of servicing rights | $ | 43,655 |  | $ | 44,129 |  | $ | 78,888 |  | $ | 74,266 |
Weighted average life (in years) |  | 6.3 |  |  | 6.2 |  |  | 6.2 |  |  | 5.9 |
Weighted average prepayment speed (annual rate) |  | 6.0 | % |  | 6.6 | % |  | 6.1 | % |  | 7.1 | %
| Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change | $ | (951) |  | $ | (1,115) |  | $ | (1,972) |  | $ | (2,206) |
| Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change | $ | (1,876) |  | $ | (2,194) |  | $ | (3,871) |  | $ | (4,312) |
Weighted average discount rate (annual rate) |  | 11.3 | % |  | 11.3 | % |  | 11.1 | % |  | 11.1 | %
| Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change | $ | (1,630) |  | $ | (1,640) |  | $ | (3,059) |  | $ | (2,740) |
| Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change | $ | (3,156) |  | $ | (3,175) |  | $ | (5,910) |  | $ | (5,301) |

The sensitivity analyses presented in the table above for servicing rights are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10 and 20 percent variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the sensitivity tables included herein, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation serviced $0.9 billion in residential mortgage loans with credit recourse to the Corporation. Also refer to Note 19 for information on changes in the Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans serviced with credit recourse.

Under the GNMA securitizations, the Corporation, as servicer, has the right to repurchase (but not the obligation), at its option and without GNMA’s prior authorization, any loan that is collateral for a GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed security when certain delinquency criteria are met. At the time that individual loans meet GNMA’s specified delinquency criteria and are eligible for repurchase, the Corporation is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans if the Corporation was the pool issuer. At March 31, 2021, the Corporation had recorded $29 million in mortgage loans on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition related to this buy-back option program (December 31, 2020 - $57 million). Loans in our serviced GNMA portfolio benefit from payment forbearance programs but continue to reflect the contractual delinquency until the borrower repays deferred payments or completes a payment deferral modification or other borrower assistance alternative. As long as the Corporation continues to service the loans that continue to be collateral in a GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed security, the MSR is recognized by the Corporation.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation repurchased approximately $44 million (March 31, 2020 - $22 million) of mortgage loans from its GNMA servicing portfolio. The determination to repurchase these loans was based on the economic benefits of the transaction, which results in a reduction of the servicing costs for these severely delinquent loans, mostly related to principal and interest advances. The risk associated with the loans is reduced due to their guaranteed nature. The Corporation may place these loans under COVID-19 modification programs offered by FHA, VA or USDA or other loss mitigation programs offered by the Corporation, and once brought back to current status, these may be either retained in portfolio or re-sold in the secondary market.

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation had brokered deposits amounting to $ 0.8 billion (December 31, 2020 - $ 0.8 billion).

The aggregate amount of overdrafts in demand deposit accounts that were reclassified to loans was $3 million at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $3 million)

At March 31, 2021, public sector deposits amounted to $15 billion. These balances are expected to decline over the long term, however, the receipt by the P.R. Government of additional COVID-19 and hurricane relief related Federal assistance, and seasonal tax collections, are likely to increase public deposit balances at BPPR in the near term. The rate at which public deposit balances will decline is uncertain and difficult to predict. The amount and timing of any such reduction is likely to be impacted by, for example, the timeline of current debt restructuring efforts under Title III of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) and the speed at which COVID-19 federal assistance is distributed.

Note 15 – Borrowings

Assets sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $87 million at March 31, 2021 and $121 million December 31, 2020.

The Corporation’s repurchase transactions are overcollateralized with the securities detailed in the table below. The Corporation’s repurchase agreements have a right of set-off with the respective counterparty under the supplemental terms of the master repurchase agreements. In an event of default each party has a right of set-off against the other party for amounts owed in the related agreement and any other amount or obligation owed in respect of any other agreement or transaction between them. Pursuant to the Corporation’s accounting policy, the repurchase agreements are not offset with other repurchase agreements held with the same counterparty.

The following table presents information related to the Corporation’s repurchase transactions accounted for as secured borrowings that are collateralized with debt securities available-for-sale, other assets held-for-trading purposes or which have been obtained under agreements to resell. It is the Corporation’s policy to maintain effective control over assets sold under agreements to repurchase; accordingly, such securities continue to be carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Repurchase agreements in this portfolio are generally short-term, often overnight. As such our risk is very limited. We manage the liquidity risks arising from secured funding by sourcing funding globally from a diverse group of counterparties, providing a range of securities collateral and pursuing longer durations, when appropriate.

There were no other short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

In addition, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation had placed $0.9 billion of the available FHLB credit facility as collateral for municipal letters of credit to secure deposits. The FHLB borrowing facilities are collateralized with loans held-in-portfolio, and do not have restrictive covenants or callable features.

Also, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation has a borrowing facility at the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York amounting to $1.3 billion (2020 - $1.4 billion), which remained unused at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The facility is a collateralized source of credit that is highly reliable even under difficult market conditions.

Note 17 – Stockholders’ equity

As of March 31, 2021, stockholder’s equity totaled $5.9 billion. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation declared cash dividends of $0.40 (2020 - $0.40) per common share outstanding to $33.8 million (2020 - $35.5 million). The quarterly dividend declared to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2021 was paid on April 1, 2021. On May 6, 2021, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend will be payable on July 1, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 26, 2021.

Preferred Stocks

On February 24, 2020, the Corporation redeemed all the outstanding shares of the 2008 Series B Preferred Stock. The redemption price of the 2008 Series B Preferred Stock was $25.00 per share, plus $0.1375 (representing the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends for the current monthly dividend period to the redemption date), for a total payment per share in the amount of $25.1375.

Accelerated share repurchase transaction (“ASR”)

On May 3, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) to repurchase an aggregate of $350 million of Corpration’s common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, on May 4, 2021 the Corporation made an initial payment of $350 million and received an initial delivery of 3,785,831 shares of Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”). The transaction was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. Furthermore, as a result of the receipt of the Initial Shares, the Corporation recognized in stockholders’ equity approximately $280 million in treasury stock and $70 million as a reduction in capital surplus. Upon the final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Corporation expects to further adjust its treasury stock and capital surplus accounts to reflect the final delivery or receipt of cash or shares, which will depend on the volume-weighted average price of the Corporation’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount. The final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to occur no later than the third quarter of 2021.

On January 30, 2020, the Corporation entered into a $500 million ASR transaction with respect to its common stock, which was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. As a result of the receipt of the initial 7,055,919 shares, the Corporation recognized in shareholder’s equity approximately $400 million in treasury stock and $100 million as a reduction in capital surplus. On March 19, 2020 (the “early termination date”), the dealer counterparty to the ASR exercised its right to terminate the ASR as a result of the trading price of the Corporation’s common stock falling below a specified level due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global markets. As a result of such early termination, the final settlement of the ASR, which was expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2020, occurred during the second quarter of 2020. The Corporation completed the transaction on May 27, 2020 and received 4,763,216 additional shares of common stock after the early termination date. In total the Corporation repurchased 11,819,135 shares at an average price per share of $42.3043 under the ASR.

Note 19 – Guarantees

At March 31, 2021 the Corporation had a liability of $0.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $0.2 million), which represents the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under the standby letters of credit. Management does not anticipate any material losses related to these instruments.

From time to time, the Corporation securitized mortgage loans into guaranteed mortgage-backed securities subject to limited, and in certain instances, lifetime credit recourse on the loans that serve as collateral for the mortgage-backed securities. The Corporation has not sold any mortgage loans subject to credit recourse since 2009. At March 31, 2021, the Corporation serviced $0.9 billion (December 31, 2020 - $0.9 billion) in residential mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions, principally loans associated with FNMA and FHLMC residential mortgage loan securitization programs. In the event of any customer default, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, the Corporation is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Corporation would be required to make under the recourse arrangements in the event of nonperformance by the borrowers is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation repurchased approximately $8 million of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions (March 31, 2020 - $8 million). In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, the Corporation has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. The Corporation suffers ultimate losses on these loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage loan are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan plus any uncollected interest advanced and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At March 31, 2021 the Corporation’s liability established to cover the estimated credit loss exposure related to loans sold or serviced with credit recourse amounted to $20 million (December 31, 2020 - $22 million).

The following table shows the changes in the Corporation’s liability of estimated losses related to loans serviced with credit recourse provisions during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

When the Corporation sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, the Corporation may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. There were no repurchases of loans under representation and warranty arrangements during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. A substantial amount of these loans reinstates to performing status or have mortgage insurance, and thus the ultimate losses on the loans are not deemed significant.

From time to time, the Corporation sells loans and agrees to indemnify the purchaser for credit losses or any breach of certain representations and warranties made in connection with the sale. The following table presents the changes in the Corporation’s liability for estimated losses associated with indemnifications and representations and warranties related to loans sold by BPPR for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed securities programs of FNMA and GNMA, and to mortgage loans sold or serviced to certain other investors, including FHLMC, require the Corporation to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. At March 31, 2021, the Corporation serviced $12.7 billion in mortgage loans for third-parties, including the loans serviced with credit recourse (December 31, 2020 - $12.9 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 incom e with respect to that loan. At March 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Corporation under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $66 million (December 31, 2020 - $66 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 addition al 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In addition, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, PIHC fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis $374 million of capital securities (trust preferred securities) issued by wholly-owned issuing trust entities to the extent set forth in the applicable guarantee agreement. Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K for further information on the trust preferred securities.

Note 20 – 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:

(In thousands) | March 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020
Commitments to extend credit: |  |  |  |
| Credit card lines | $ | 5,271,202 | $ | 5,226,660
| Commercial and construction lines of credit |  | 3,844,356 |  | 3,805,459
| Other consumer unused credit commitments |  | 251,574 |  | 257,312
Commercial letters of credit |  | 3,090 |  | 1,864
Standby letters of credit |  | 21,330 |  | 22,266
Commitments to originate or fund mortgage loans |  | 107,464 |  | 96,786

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation maintained a reserve of approximately $10 million and $16 million, respectively, for potential losses associated with unfunded loan commitments related to commercial, construction and consumer lines of credit.

Other commitments

At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Corporation’s also maintained other non-credit commitments for approximately $1.4 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 32 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 the Puerto Rico Oversight Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) in 2016, which, among other things, established a Fiscal Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”) and a framework for the restructuring of the debts of the Commonwealth, its instrumentalities and municipalities. The Commonwealth and several of its instrumentalities have commenced debt restructuring proceedings under PROMESA. As of the date of this report, while municipalities have been designated as covered entities under PROMESA, no municipality has commenced, or has been authorized by the Oversight Board to commence, any such debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities totaled $375 million and $377 million, respectively, which amounts were fully outstanding on such dates. Of this amount, $342 million consists of loans and $33 million are securities ($342 million and $ 35 million at December 31, 2020). Substantially all of the amount outstanding at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were obligations from various Puerto Rico municipalities. In most cases, these were “general obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged its good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power, or “special obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged other revenues. At March 31, 2021, 74% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities was concentrated in the municipalities of San Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Bayamón.

In addition, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation had $311 million in loans insured or securities issued by Puerto Rico governmental entities but for which the principal source of repayment is non-governmental ($317 million at December 31, 2020). These included $255 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, 2020 - $260 million). These mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA insurance covers losses in the event of a borrower default and upon the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The Corporation also had at March 31, 2021, $45 million in bonds issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto Rico residential properties, and for which HFA also provides insurance to cover losses in the event of a borrower default and upon the satisfaction of certain other conditions (December 31, 2020 - $46 million). In the event that the mortgage loans insured by HFA and held by the Corporation directly or those serving as collateral for the HFA bonds default and the collateral is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance of these loans, HFA’s ability to honor its insurance will depend, among other factors, on the financial condition of HFA at the time such obligations become due and payable. 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. In addition, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation had $11 million of commercial real estate notes issued by government entities but that are payable from rent paid by non-governmental parties (December 31, 2020 - $11 million).

BPPR’s commercial loan portfolio also includes loans to private borrowers who are service providers, lessors, suppliers or have other relationships with the government. These borrowers could be negatively affected by the 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, $1.7 billion of residential mortgages, $1.2 billion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and $60 million commercial loans were insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies at March 31, 2021 (compared to $1.8 billion, $1.3 billion and $60 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020).

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation has operations in the United States Virgin Islands (the “USVI”) and has approximately $103 million in direct exposure to USVI government entities (December 31, 2020 - $105 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.

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation has operations in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), which has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly as a reduction in the tourism activity which accounts for a significant portion of its economy. Although the Corporation has no significant exposure to a single borrower in the BVI, it has a loan portfolio amounting to

72

approximately $250 million comprised of various retail and commercial clients, including a loan of approximately $18 million with the government of the BVI (compared to $251 million and $19 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020).

Legal Proceedings

The nature of Popular’s business ordinarily generates claims, litigation, investigations, and legal and administrative cases and proceedings (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). When the Corporation determines that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted, it vigorously defends itself. The Corporation will consider the settlement of cases (including cases where it has meritorious defenses) when, in management’s judgment, it is in the best interest of 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 the accrual to the extent such loss is reasonably possible, but not probable. Management believes and estimates that the range of reasonably possible losses (with respect to those matters where such limits may be determined, in excess of amounts accrued) for current Legal Proceedings ranged from $0 to approximately $34.2 million as of March 31, 2021. 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.

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

BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO

Hazard Insurance Commission-Related Litigation

Popular, Inc., BPPR and Popular Insurance, LLC (the “Popular Defendants”) have been named defendants in a class action complaint captioned Pérez Díaz v. Popular, Inc., et al, filed before the Court of First Instance, Arecibo Part. The complaint seeks damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief on behalf of the class against the Popular Defendants, as well as Antilles Insurance Company and MAPFRE-PRAICO Insurance Company (the “Defendant Insurance Companies”). Plaintiffs allege that the Popular Defendants have been unjustly enriched by failing to reimburse them for commissions paid by the Defendant Insurance Companies to the insurance agent and/or mortgagee for policy years when no claims were filed against their hazard insurance policies. They demand the reimbursement to the purported “class” of an estimated $400 million plus legal interest, for the “good experience” commissions allegedly paid by the Defendant Insurance Companies during the relevant time period, as well as injunctive relief seeking to enjoin the Defendant Insurance Companies from paying commissions to the insurance agent/mortgagee and ordering them to pay those fees directly to the insured. A motion for dismissal on the merits filed by the Defendant Insurance Companies was denied with a right to replead following limited targeted discovery. Each of the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals and the Puerto Rico Supreme Court denied the Popular Defendants’ request to review the lower court’s denial of the motion to dismiss. In December 2017, plaintiffs amended the complaint, and, in January 2018, defendants filed an answer thereto. Separately, in October 2017, the Court entered an order whereby it broadly certified the class, after which the Popular Defendants filed a certiorari petition before the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals in relation to the class certification, which the Court declined to entertain. In November

73

2018 and in January 2019, plaintiffs filed voluntary dismissal petitions against MAPFRE-PRAICO Insurance Company and Antilles Insurance Company, respectively, leaving the Popular Defendants as the sole remaining defendants in the action.

In April 2019, the Court amended the class definition to limit it to individual homeowners whose residential units were subject to a mortgage from BPPR who, in turn, obtained risk insurance policies with Antilles Insurance or MAPFRE Insurance through Popular Insurance from 2002 to 2015, and who did not make insurance claims against said policies during their effective term. The Court approved in September 2020 the notice to the class, which is yet to be published. The Popular Defendants expect to file a Motion for Summary Judgment requesting the dismissal of the action by May 7, 2021, which is the current deadline for the filing of dispositive motions. This deadline, and current deadlines for the Pre-Trial and Trial hearings, may be extended if the Court allows an additional expert witness recently disclosed by Plaintiffs and opposed by the Popular Defendants.

Mortgage-Related Litigation and Claims

BPPR has been named a defendant in a putative class action captioned Lilliam González Camacho, et al. v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, et al., filed before the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico on behalf of mortgage-holders who have allegedly been subjected to illegal foreclosures and/or loan modifications through their mortgage servicers. Plaintiffs maintain that when they sought to reduce their loan payments, defendants failed to provide them with such reduced loan payments, instead subjecting them to lengthy loss mitigation processes while filing foreclosure claims against them in parallel (or dual tracking). Plaintiffs assert that such actions violate the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”), the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) and other federally sponsored loan modification programs, as well as the Puerto Rico Mortgage Debtor Assistance Act and the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”). For the alleged violations stated above, plaintiffs request that all defendants (over 20, including all local banks) be held jointly and severally liable in an amount no less than $400 million. BPPR filed a motion to dismiss in August 2017, as did most co-defendants, and, in March 2018, the District Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety. After being denied reconsideration by the District Court, in August 2018, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. In July 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision dismissing the complaint. In September 2020, the Appellants filed a petition for rehearing and for rehearing en banc, which was denied in December 2020. Proceedings before the First Circuit Court of Appeals concluded, and Plaintiffs did not seek certiorari review before the U.S. Supreme Court. This matter is now closed.

BPPR has also been named a defendant in another putative class action captioned Yiries Josef Saad Maura v. Banco Popular, et al., filed by the same counsel who filed the González Camacho action referenced above, on behalf of residential customers of the defendant banks who have allegedly been subject to illegal foreclosures and/or loan modifications through their mortgage servicers. As in González Camacho, plaintiffs contend that when they sought to reduce their loan payments, defendants failed to provide them with such reduced loan payments, instead subjecting them to lengthy loss mitigation processes while filing foreclosure claims against them in parallel, all in violation of TILA, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) and other consumer-protection laws and regulations. Plaintiffs did not include a specific amount of damages in their complaint. After waiving service of process, BPPR filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the same grounds as those asserted in the González Camacho action (as did most co-defendants, separately). BPPR further filed a motion to oppose class certification, which the Court granted in September 2018. In April 2019, the Court entered an Opinion and Order granting BPPR’s and several other defendants’ motions to dismiss with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration in April 2019, which Popular timely opposed. In September 2019, the Court issued an Amended Opinion and Order dismissing plaintiffs’ claims against all defendants, denying the reconsideration requests and other pending motions, and issuing final judgment. In October 2019, plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s Amended Opinion and Order, which was denied in December 2019. In January 2020, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Plaintiffs filed their appeal brief in July 2020, Appellees filed their brief in September 2020, and Appellants filed their reply brief in January 2021. The appeal is now fully briefed and pending resolution.

Insufficient Funds and Overdraft Fees Class Actions

In February 2020, BPPR was served with a putative class action complaint captioned Soto-Melendez v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, filed before the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. The complaint alleges breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment due to BPPR’s purported practice of (a) assessing more than one

74

insufficient funds fee (“NSF Fees”) on the same “item” or transaction and (b) charging both NSF Fees and overdraft fees (“OD Fees”) on the same item or transaction, and is filed on behalf of all persons who during the applicable statute of limitations period were charged NSF Fees and/or OD Fees pursuant to these purported practices. In April 2020, BPPR filed a motion to dismiss the case. On April 21, 2021, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part BPPR’s motion to dismiss; the unjust enrichment claim was dismissed, whereas the breach of contract and covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims survived the motion. Discovery is ongoing.

Popular has been also named as a defendant on a putative class action complaint captioned Golden v. Popular, Inc. filed in March 2020 before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking damages, restitution and injunctive relief. Plaintiff alleges breach of contract, violation of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and violation of New York consumer protection law due to Popular’s purported practice of charging OD Fees on transactions that, under plaintiffs’ theory, do not overdraw the account. Plaintiff describes Popular’s purported practice of charging OD Fees as “Authorize Positive, Purportedly Settle Negative Transactions” (“APPSN”) and states that Popular assesses OD Fees over authorized transactions for which sufficient funds are held for settlement. In August 2020, Popular filed a Motion to Dismiss on several grounds, including failure to state a claim against Popular, Inc. and improper venue. In October 2020, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and, on that same date, filed an identical complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands against Popular, Inc., Popular Bank and BPPR. In November 2020, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal against Popular, Inc. and Popular Bank following a Motion to Dismiss filed on behalf of such entities which argued failure to state a claim and lack of minimum contacts of such parties with the U.S.V.I. district court jurisdiction. BPPR, the only defendant remaining in the case, was served with process in November 2020 and filed a Motion to Dismiss in January 2021. Plaintiff opposed the Motion to Dismiss in February 2021 and BPPR replied in March 2021. The Motion to Dismiss is now fully briefed and pending resolution.

Other Proceedings

In June 2017, a syndicate comprised of BPPR and other local banks (the “Lenders”) filed an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding against Betteroads Asphalt and Betterecycling Corporation (the “Involuntary Debtors”). This filing followed attempts by the Lenders to restructure and resolve the Involuntary Debtors’ obligations and outstanding defaults under a certain credit agreement, first through good faith negotiations and subsequently, through the filing of a collection action against the Involuntary Debtors in local court. The Involuntary Debtors subsequently counterclaimed, asserting damages in excess of $900 million. The Lenders ultimately joined in the commencement of these involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against the Debtors in order to preserve and recover the Involuntary Debtors’ assets, having confirmed that the Involuntary Debtors were transferring assets out of their estate for little or no consideration.

The Involuntary Debtors filed a motion to dismiss the proceedings and for damages against the syndicate, arguing both that this petition was filed in bad faith and that there was a bona fide dispute as to the petitioners’ claims, as set forth in the counterclaim filed by the Involuntary Debtors in local court. After the Court held hearings in June and July 2019 to consider whether the involuntary petitions were filed in bad faith, in October 2019, the Court entered an Opinion and Order determining that the involuntary petitions were not filed in bad faith and issued an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code granting the involuntary petitions. In October 2019, the debtors filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. District Court. In November 2020, the U.S. District Court issued an opinion affirming the order for relief issued by the Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code granting the involuntary petitions. In January 2021, Debtors filed a Notice of Appeal from this decision before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

In February 2020, the Debtors initiated an adversary proceeding seeking in excess of $80 million in damages, alleging that in 2016 the Lenders illegally foreclosed on their accounts receivable and as a result illegally interfered with contracts entered with third parties, forcing the Debtors into bankruptcy. Debtors further seek a judgment declaring that Lenders do not possess security interests over certain personal property of the Debtors because either such security interests were not adequately perfected according to Puerto Rico law, or the security interests were lost upon the lapsing date of the financing statements that the Lenders had originally perfected in connection with such interests. Debtors amended their adversary complaint to include references to the Lenders’ Syndicate and BPPR’s proof of claims and formally object to such proof of claims, as well as to demand that the District Court, not the Bankruptcy Court, entertains the complaint, requesting trial by jury on all counts. Lenders filed a Motion to dismiss in June 2020. In September 2020, the Court granted the parties an extension of all pending deadlines for 30 days in furtherance of settlement negotiations, and, thereafter, the Court granted, at the request of the parties, multiple additional 30-day extensions for the

75

parties to continue settlement conversations. On April 28, 2021, the Lenders, the Debtors and other related parties executed a settlement agreement that contemplates the resolution of any and all claims between the parties as part of the bankruptcy proceedings. The Bankruptcy Court set May 14, 2021 as the deadline to submit objections to the settlement agreement, May 20, 2021 as the deadline for objections to the Debtors’ disclosure statement and set a hearing for May 27, 2021 to approve the settlement agreement and the disclosure statement.

POPULAR BANK

Employment-Related Litigation

In July 2019, Popular Bank (“PB”) was served in a putative class complaint in which it was named as a defendant along with five (5) current PB employees (collectively, the “AB Defendants”), captioned Aileen Betances, et al. v. Popular Bank, et al., filed before the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “AB Action”). The complaint, filed by five (5) current and former PB employees, seeks to recover damages for the AB Defendants' alleged violation of local and state sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation laws. Additionally, in July 2019, PB was served in a putative class complaint in which it was named as a defendant along with six (6) current PB employees (collectively, the “DR Defendants”), captioned Damian Reyes, et al. v. Popular Bank, et al., filed before the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “DR Action”). The DR Action, filed by three (3) current and former PB employees, seeks to recover damages for the DR Defendants’ alleged violation of local and state discrimination and retaliation laws. Plaintiffs in both complaints are represented by the same legal counsel, and five of the six named individual defendants in the DR Action are the same named individual defendants in the AB Action. Both complaints are related, among other things, to allegations of purported sexual harassment and/or misconduct by a former PB employee as well as PB’s actions in connection thereto and seek no less than $100 million in damages each. In October 2019, PB and the other defendants filed several Motions to Dismiss. Plaintiffs opposed the motions in December 2019 and PB and the other defendants replied in January 2020. In July 2020, a hearing to discuss the motions to dismiss filed by PB in both actions was held, at which the Court dismissed one of the causes of action included by plaintiffs in the AB Action and ordered the parties to submit a copy of the court reporter’s transcript. The parties submitted a copy of the court reporter’s transcript in August 2020 and the motions to dismiss are pending resolution.

POPULAR SECURITIES

Puerto Rico Bonds and Closed-End Investment Funds

The volatility in prices and declines in value that Puerto Rico municipal bonds and closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto Rico municipal bonds have experienced since August 2013 have led to regulatory inquiries, customer complaints and arbitrations for most broker-dealers in Puerto Rico, including Popular Securities. Popular Securities has received customer complaints and, as of March 31, 2021, is named as a respondent (among other broker-dealers) in 131 pending arbitration proceedings with aggregate claimed amounts of approximately $139 million, including one arbitration with claimed damages of approximately $30 million. While Popular Securities believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in these proceedings, it has often determined that it is in its best interest to settle certain claims rather than expend the money and resources required to see such cases to completion. The Puerto Rico Government’s defaults and non-payment of its various debt obligations, as well as the Commonwealth’s and the Financial Oversight Management Board’s (the “Oversight Board”) decision to pursue restructurings under Title III and Title VI of PROMESA, have impacted the number of customer complaints (and claimed damages) filed against Popular Securities concerning Puerto Rico bonds and closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in Puerto Rico bonds. An adverse result in the arbitration proceedings described above, or a significant increase in customer complaints, could have a material adverse effect on Popular.

PROMESA Title III Proceedings

In 2017, the Oversight Board engaged the law firm of Kobre & Kim to carry out an independent investigation on behalf of the Oversight Board regarding, among other things, the causes of the Puerto Rico financial crisis. Popular, Inc., BPPR and Popular Securities (collectively, the “Popular Companies”) were served by, and cooperated with, the Oversight Board in connection with requests for the preservation and voluntary production of certain documents and witnesses with respect to Kobre & Kim’s independent investigation.

76

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

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

77

Note 21 – Non-consolidated variable interest entities

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

Also, the Corporation is involved with various special purpose entities mainly in guaranteed mortgage securitization transactions, including GNMA and FNMA. These special purpose entities are deemed to be VIEs since they lack equity investments at risk. The Corporation’s continuing involvement in these guaranteed loan securitizations includes owning certain beneficial interests in the form of securities as well as the servicing rights retained. The Corporation is not required to provide additional financial support to any of the variable interest entities to which it has transferred the financial assets. The mortgage-backed securities, to the extent retained, are classified in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 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 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the debt securities outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(In thousands) | March 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020
Assets |  |  |  |
Servicing assets: |  |  |  |
| Mortgage servicing rights | $ | 94,890 | $ | 90,273
Total servicing assets | $ | 94,890 | $ | 90,273
Other assets: |  |  |  |

Total assets | $ | 104,372 | $ | 99,042
Maximum exposure to loss | $ | 104,372 | $ | 99,042

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 $8.5 billion at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $8.7 billion).

The Corporation determined that the maximum exposure to loss includes the fair value of the MSRs and the assumption that the servicing advances at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.

78

ASU 2009-17 requires that an ongoing primary beneficiary assessment should be made to determine whether the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of any of the VIEs it is involved with. The conclusion on the assessment of these non-consolidated VIEs has not changed since their initial evaluation. The Corporation concluded that it is still not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore, these VIEs are not required to be consolidated in the Corporation’s financial statements at March 31, 2021.

Note 22 – Related party transactions

The Corporation considers its equity method investees as related parties. The following provides information on transactions with equity method investees considered related parties.

EVERTEC

The Corporation has an investment in EVERTEC, Inc. (“EVERTEC”), which provides various processing and information technology services to the Corporation and its subsidiaries and gives BPPR access to the ATH network owned and operated by EVERTEC. As of March 31, 2021, the Corporation held 11,654,803 shares of EVERTEC, representing an ownership stake of 16.15%. The Corporation continues to have significant influence over EVERTEC. Accordingly, the investment in EVERTEC is accounted for under the equity method and is evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred that is other than temporary.

The Corporation recorded $0.6 million in dividends distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from its investments in EVERTEC (March 31, 2020 - $0.6 million). The Corporation’s equity in EVERTEC is presented in the table which follows and is included as part of “other assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Investment Companies

The Corporation provides advisory services to several investment companies registered under the Puerto Rico Investment Companies Act in exchange for a fee. The Corporation also provides administrative, custody and transfer agency services to these investment companies. These fees are calculated at an annual rate of the average net assets of the investment company, as defined in each agreement. Due to its advisory role, the Corporation considers these investment companies as related parties.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021 administrative fees charged to these investment companies amounted to $1.2 million (March 31, 2020 - $1.6 million) and waived fees amounted to $0.5 million (March 31, 2020 - $0.5 million), for a net fee of $0.7 million (March 31, 2020 - $1.1 million).

The Corporation, through its subsidiary BPPR, has also entered into certain uncommitted credit facilities with those investment companies. As of March 31, 2021, the available lines of credit facilities amounted to $255 million (December 31, 2020 - $275 million). The aggregate sum of all outstanding balances under all credit facilities that may be made available by BPPR, from time to time, to those investment companies for which BPPR acts as investment advisor or co-investment advisor, shall never exceed the lesser of $200 million or 10% of BPPR’s capital. At March 31, 2021 there was no outstanding balance for these credit facilities.

Note 23 – 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 assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices when available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, the Corporation employs internally-developed models that primarily use market-based inputs including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, and credit curves, among others. Valuation adjustments are limited to those necessary to ensure that the financial instrument’s fair value is adequately representative of the price that would be received or paid in the marketplace. These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, the Corporation’s credit standing, constraints on liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently. There have been no changes in the Corporation’s methodologies used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities from those disclosed in the 2020 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.

Fair Value on a Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and interest-only collateralized mortgage obligation (reported as “other”), which are classified in the “trading” category, are yield, constant prepayment rate, and weighted average life. S ignificant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the constant prepayment rate will generate a directionally opposite change in the weighted average life. For example, as the average life is reduced by a higher constant prepayment rate, a lower yield will be realized, and when there is a reduction in the constant prepayment rate, the average life of these collateralized mortgage obligations will extend, thus resulting in a higher yield.The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s mortgage servicing rights are constant prepayment rates and discount rates. Increases in interest rates may result in lower prepayments. Discount rates vary according to products and / or portfolios depending on the perceived risk. Increases in discount rates result in a lower fair value measurement.

Note 24 – Fair value of financial instruments

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

The fair values reflected herein have been determined based on the prevailing rate environment at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.

[1] The amounts include intersegment transactions of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

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

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

Service charges on deposit accounts

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

Debit card fees

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

Insurance fees

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

93

Corporation is acting as an agent since it arranges for the sale of the policies and receives commissions if, and when, it achieves the sale.

Credit card fees

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

Sale and administration of investment products

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

Commission income from investment products is recognized on the trade date since clearing, trade execution, and custody services are satisfied when the customer acquires or disposes of the rights to obtain the economic benefits of the investment products and brokerage contracts have no fixed duration and are terminable at will by either party. The Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions since it performs the service of providing the customer with the ability to acquire or dispose of the rights to obtain the economic benefits of investment products.

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

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

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

Trust fees

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

Note 27 – Leases

The Corporation enters in the ordinary course of business into operating and finance leases for land, buildings and equipment. These contracts generally do not include purchase options or residual value guarantees. The remaining lease terms of 0.1 to 32.8 years considers options to extend the leases for up to 20.0 years. The Corporation identifies leases when it has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

The Corporation recognizes right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities related to operating and finance leases in its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under the caption of other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Refer to Note 12 and Note 16, respectively, for information on the balances of these lease assets and liabilities.

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

On October 27, 2020, PB authorized and approved a strategic realignment of its New York Metro branch network that resulted in eleven branch closures, of which nine were leased properties. The branch closures were completed on January 29, 2021. An impairment loss of ROU assets amounting to $15.9 million was recognized in connection with this transaction during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The following table presents the undiscounted cash flows of operating and finance leases for each of the following periods:

Note 29 - Stock-based compensation

On May 12, 2020, the stockholders of the Corporation approved the Popular, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which permits the Corporation to issue several types of stock-based compensation to employees and directors of the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries (the “2020 Incentive Plan”). The 2020 Incentive Plan replaced the Popular, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was in effect prior to the adoption of the 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2004 Incentive Plan” and, together with the 2020 Incentive Plan, the “Incentive Plan”). Participants under the Incentive Plan are designated by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (or its delegate, as determined by the Board). Under the Incentive Plan, the Corporation has issued restricted stock and performance shares for its employees and restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSU”) 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 is determined based on a two-prong vesting schedule. The first part is vested ratably over five years commencing at the date of grant (“the graduated vesting portion”) and the second part is vested at termination of employment after attainment of 55 years of age and 10 years of service (“the retirement vesting portion”). The graduated vesting portion is accelerated at termination of employment after attaining 55 years of age and 10 years of service. The vesting schedule for restricted shares granted on or after 2014 is as follows, the graduated vesting portion is vested ratably over four years commencing at the date of the grant and the retirement vesting portion is vested at termination of employment after attainment of the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service. The 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 will vest ratably in equal annual installments over a period of 4 years or 3 years, depending on the classification of the employee.

The performance share award 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 Earnings per Share (“EPS”) goals. For grants issued on 2020 and 2021, the EPS goal is substituted by the Absolute Return on Average Assets (“ROA”) goal and the Absolute Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”) respectively. The TSR metric is considered to be a market condition under ASC 718. For equity settled awards based on a market condition, the fair value is determined as of the grant date and is not subsequently revised based on actual performance. The EPS, ROA and ROATCE metrics are considered to be a performance condition under ASC 718. The fair value is determined based on the probability of achieving the EPS, ROA or ROATCE goal as of each reporting period. The TSR and EPS, ROA or ROATCE metrics are equally weighted and work independently. The number of shares that will ultimately vest ranges from 50% to a 150% of target based on both market (TSR) and performance (EPS, ROA and ROATCE) conditions. The performance shares vest at the end of the three-year performance cycle. If a participant terminates employment after attaining the earlier of 55 years of age and 10 years of service or 60 years of age and 5 years of service, the performance shares shall continue outstanding and vest at the end of the performance cycle.

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

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 53,239 shares of restricted stock (March 31, 2020 - 87,706) and 71,374 performance shares (March 31, 2020 - 64,815) were awarded to management under the Incentive Plan.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recognized $3.9 million of restricted stock expense related to management incentive awards, with a tax benefit of $0.5 million (March 31, 2020 - $3.6 million, with a tax benefit of $0.4 million). For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the fair market value of the restricted stock and performance shares vested was $3.2 million at grant date and $4.3 million at vesting date. This differential triggers a windfall, of $1.7 million that was recorded as a reduction in income tax expense. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recognized $4.3 million of performance shares expense, with a tax benefit of $0.4 million (March 31, 2020 - $2.5 million, with a tax benefit of $0.2 million). The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards and performance shares to members of management at March 31, 2021 was $9.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.21 years.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity under the Incentive Plan for members of the Board of Directors:

The equity awards granted to members of the Board of Directors of Popular, Inc. (the “Directors”) will vest and become non-forfeitable on the grant date of such award. Effective on May 2019 all equity awards granted to the Directors may be paid in either restricted stocks or RSU, at the Directors’ election. If RSU are elected the Directors may defer the delivery of the shares of common stocks underlying the RSU award after their retirement. To the extent that cash dividends are paid on the Corporation’s outstanding common stocks, the Directors will receive an additional number of RSU that reflect reinvested dividend equivalent.

For 2020 and 2021, all Directors elected RSU. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 524 RSU were granted to the Directors (March 31, 2020 - 298). During this period, the Corporation recognized $29 thousand of restricted stock expense related to these RSU, with a tax benefit of $5 thousand (March 31, 2020 - $18 thousand, with a tax benefit of $2 thousand). The fair value at vesting date of the RSU vested during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 for directors was $29 thousand.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $76.8 million, compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to higher pre-tax income during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter of 2020.

The following table presents a breakdown of the significant components of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The net deferred tax asset shown in the table above at March 31, 2021 is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as $0.8 billion in net deferred tax assets in the “Other assets” caption (December 31, 2020 - $0.9 billion) and $866 thousand in deferred tax liabilities in the “Other liabilities” caption (December 31, 2020 - $897 thousand), reflecting the aggregate deferred tax assets or liabilities of individual tax-paying subsidiaries of the Corporation in their respective tax jurisdiction, Puerto Rico or the United States.

A deferred tax asset should be reduced by a valuation allowance if based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. At March 31, 2021 the net deferred tax asset of the U.S. operations amounted to $696 million with a valuation allowance of approximately $415 million, for a net deferred tax asset after valuation allowance of approximately $281 million. The Corporation evaluates the realization of the deferred tax asset by taxing jurisdiction. The U.S. operations are evaluated, as a whole,since a consolidated income tax return is filed. Currently management considers as negative evidence the economic uncertainty resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions taken by governmental authorities in response to it, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on the economy are not certain, vaccination process in Puerto Rico and the United States, as well as the economic stimulus measures taken by the federal government as a result of the pandemic creates a positive economic outlook in the short term. Notwithstanding the challenges raised by the pandemic, the financial results of the U.S. operations for the year ended December 31,2020 and the quarter ended March 31,2021 were also positive. This objectively verifiable positive evidence together with the positive evidence of stable credit metrics, in combination with the length of the expiration of the NOLs are enough to overcome the negative evidence related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31,2021, after weighting all positive and negative evidence, the Corporation concluded that it is more likely than not that approximately $281 million of the deferred tax asset 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 asset 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 and the pre-tax earnings forecast on a quarterly basis to assess the future realization of the DTA. Management will closely monitor factors like, net income versus forecast, targeted loan growth, net interest income margin, allowance for credit losses, charge offs, NPLs inflows and NPA balances. If such factors worsen during future periods, they could constitute sufficient objectively verifiable negative evidence to overcome the positive evidence, that currently exists, and could require additional amounts of valuation allowance to be registered on the DTA. Any increases to the valuation allowance would be reflected as an income tax expense, reducing the Corporation’s earnings.

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation’s net deferred tax assets related to its Puerto Rico operations amounted to $522 million net of valuation allowance pertaining to the Holding Company operation.

The Corporation’s Puerto Rico Banking operation is not in a cumulative three-year loss position and has sustained profitability for the three-year period ended March 31, 2021. 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 asset. Based on this evidence and management’s estimate of future taxable income, the Corporation has concluded that it is more likely than not that such net deferred tax asset of the Puerto Rico Banking operations will be realized as of March 31, 2021.

The Holding Company operation is in a cumulative loss position, taking into account taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences, for the three years period ending March 31,2021. Management expects these losses will be a trend in future years. This objectively verifiable negative evidence is considered by management a strong negative evidence that will suggest that income in future years will be insufficient to support the realization of all deferred tax asset. After weighting of all positive and negative evidence management concluded, as of the reporting date, that it is more likely than not that the Holding Company will not be able to realize any portion of the deferred tax assets, considering the criteria of ASC Topic 740. Accordingly, the Corporation has maintained a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset of $119 million as of March 31,2021.

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

102

(In millions) |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020
Balance at January 1 | $ | 14.8 |  | $ | 16.3
Balance at March 31 | $ | 14.8 |  | $ | 16.3

At March 31, 2021, the total amount of accrued interest recognized in the statement of financial condition approximated $5.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $4.8 million). The total interest expense recognized at March 31, 2021 was $364 thousand (March 31, 2020 - $854 thousand). Management determined that at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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, including U.S. and Puerto Rico, that if recognized, would affect the Corporation’s effective tax rate, was approximately $10.5 million at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $10.2 million).

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

The Corporation and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Puerto Rico, the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and political subdivisions, and foreign jurisdictions. At March 31, 2021, the following years remain subject to examination in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction: 2017 and thereafter; and in the Puerto Rico jurisdiction, 2014, 2016 and thereafter. The Corporation anticipates a reduction in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months, which could amount to approximately $13.9 million, including interest.

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

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

The Corporation is a diversified, publicly-owned financial holding company subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Corporation has operations in Puerto Rico, the United States (“U.S.”) mainland and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the Corporation provides retail, mortgage and commercial banking services through its principal banking subsidiary, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”), as well as investment banking, broker-dealer, auto and equipment leasing and financing, and insurance services through specialized subsidiaries. The Corporation’s mortgage origination business is conducted under the brand name Popular Mortgage, a division of BPPR. In the U.S. mainland, the Corporation provides retail, mortgage and commercial banking services through its New York-chartered banking subsidiary, Popular Bank (“PB”), which has branches located in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents information about the Corporation’s business segments.

The Corporation has several investments which it accounts for under the equity method. As of March 31, 2021, the Corporation had a 16.15% interest in EVERTEC, Inc. (“EVERTEC”), whose operating subsidiaries provide transaction processing services throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, and service many of the Corporation’s systems infrastructure and transaction processing businesses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recorded $ 5.9 million in earnings from its investment in EVERTEC, which had a carrying amount of $92 million as of the end of the quarter.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Capital Actions

On May 6, 2021, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend will be payable on July 1, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 26, 2021.

On May 3, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) to repurchase an aggregate of $350 million of the Corporation’s common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, on May 4, 2021 the Corporation made an initial payment of $350 million and received an initial delivery of 3,785,831 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”). The transaction was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction. Furthermore, as a result of the receipt of the Initial Shares, the Corporation recognized in stockholders’ equity approximately $280 million in treasury stock and $70 million as a reduction of capital surplus. Upon the final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Corporation expects to further adjust its treasury stock and capital surplus accounts to reflect the final delivery or receipt of cash or shares, which will depend on the volume-weighted average price of the Corporation’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount. The final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to occur no later than the third quarter of 2021.

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

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

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this presentation provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison of revenues arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis is presented with its different components in Table 2, along with the reconciliation to net interest income (GAAP), for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared with the same periods in 2020, segregated by major categories of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

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

Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2021

 For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recorded net income of $ 262.6 million, compared to net income of $ 34.3 mi llion for the same quarter of the previous year. Net interest income was $479.1 million, an increase of $6.0 million when compared to the same quarter of 2020. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 3.07%, a decrease of 87 basis points when compared to 3.94% for the same quarter of the previous year, driven by the decrease in the Federal Funds Rate and the increase in average deposits, which were redeployed mostly at overnight Fed Funds, U.S. Treasuries, agency debt securities and in loans funded under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On a taxable equivalent basis, the net interest margin was of 3.39%, compared to 4.34% for the same quarter of the previous year. The provision for credit losses for the loan portfolio was a benefit of $75.8 million, a decrease of $264.8 million when compared to the same quarter of 2020, reflecting changes to the economic outlook, qualitative reserves, and portfolio credit quality. Non-interest income was higher by $27.0 million mostly due to higher income from mortgage banking activities, mainly due to a favorable variance in fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights. Operating expenses were higher by $2.9 million principally due to higher personnel costs, partially offset by lower other real estate expenses.

 Total assets at March 31, 2021 amounted to $66.9 billion, compared to $65.9 billion, at December 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to higher debt securities available-for-sale due to purchases of U.S. treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities.

 Total deposits at March 31, 2021 increased by $1.9 billion when compared to deposits at December 31, 2020, mainly due to higher retail and commercial demand deposits at BPPR.

 Capital ratios continued to be strong. As of March 31, 2021, the Corporation’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 17.08%, while the total capital ratio was 19.62%. Refer to Table 7 for capital ratios.

Refer to the Operating Results Analysis and Financial Condition Analysis within this MD&A for additional discussion of significant quarterly variances and items impacting the financial performance of the Corporation.

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 could adversely affect its profitability.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES / ESTIMATES

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. Various elements of the Corporation’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. These estimates are made under facts and circumstances at a point in time and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce actual results that differ from those estimates.

Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. The Corporation has identified as critical accounting policies those related to: (i) Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments; (ii) Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses; (iii) Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality; (iv) Income Taxes; (v) Goodwill; and (vi) Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations. For a summary of these critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to that particular section in the MD&A included in Popular, Inc.’s 2020 Form 10-K. Also, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2020 Form 10-K for a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies and to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for information on recently adopted accounting standard updates.

OPERATING RESULTS ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $479.1 million, an increase of $6.0 million when compared to $473.1 million for the same quarter of 2020. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $529.8 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $8.3 million when compared to $521.5 million for the same quarter of 2020.

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 3.07%, a decrease of 87 basis points when compared to 3.94% for the same quarter of the previous year. The lower net interest margin for the quarter is mainly driven by the decrease of 150 basis points in the Federal Funds Rate that occurred in March 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also impacting the net interest margin is the increase in average deposits of $14.0 billion resulting from pandemic relief programs, which were redeployed in overnight Fed Funds, investment securities and loans funded under the SBA PPP. Loans under the SBA PPP had an average balance of $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2021. Management is constantly monitoring the liquidity position of the Corporation and has taken actions to deploy a portion of this liquidity. These actions include bulk loan repurchases from its GNMA, FNMA and FHMLC loan servicing portfolios, which occurred in the third quarter of 2020, and acquiring investment securities, including U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities. The net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the first quarter of 2021 was 3.39%, a decrease of 95 basis points when compared to 4.34% for the same quarter of 2020.The detailed variances of the decrease in net interest income are described below:

Negative variances:

 Lower interest income from money market investments related to the above-mentioned decrease in the Federal funds rate, partially offset by an increase in average volume;

 Lower interest income from investment securities due lower yield, partially offset by a higher volume of U.S. Treasuries and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, related to purchases to deploy liquidity and to benefit from the Puerto Rico tax exemption of these assets; and

 Lower interest income from loans driven by lower interest income from a lower volume of consumer loans, and by the impact of the decrease in rates in variable rate loans and loans issued under a lower interest rate environment. Partially offsetting these negative variances is a higher average loan balance, mainly mortgage, auto loan and lease financing and PPP loans. The latter carry a yield of approximately 7.21%, including the amortization of fees received under the program which is accelerated upon the full repayment of these loans.

Positive variances:

 Lower interest expense on deposits due to lower interest cost by 44 basis points resulting from the decrease in market rates, mostly on Puerto Rico Government and U.S. deposits, and management actions to reduce rates in most deposit categories, partially offset by higher average interest-bearing deposits increasing by $9.7 billion when compared with the same quarter in 2020, therefore increasing interest expense.

Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, included the amortization of deferred loans fees, prepayment penalties, late fees and the amortization of premium/discounts, amounting to $26.6 million, including $20.0 million on fees related to PPP loans, compared with $11.2 million income from the same quarter in 2020. Excluding the impact of PPP fees, the decrease is related to a lower amortization of PCD loans and lower amortization of the fair value discount of auto and credit card portfolios acquired in previous years.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recorded a release of $82.2 million for its reserve for credit losses related to loans held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments. The Corporation’s provision for credit losses for its loans-held-in-portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $264.8 million to a benefit of $75.8 million, compared to a provision expense of $189.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The decrease reflects changes to the economic outlook, qualitative reserves, and portfolio credit quality. The provision for unfunded commitments for the first quarter of 2021 reflected a benefit of $6.3 million, compared to a provision expense of $1.2 million for the same period of 2020.

The provision for credit losses for the BPPR segment was a benefit of $40.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to a provision expense of $113.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $153.0 million. The Popular U.S. segment provision for credit losses was also a benefit of $35.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $111.8 million, compared to a provision expense of $76.0 million for the same quarter in 2020.

At March 31, 2021, the total allowance for credit losses for loans held-in-portfolio amounted to $800.8 million, compared to $896.3 million as of December 31, 2020. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 2.75% at March 31, 2021, compared to 3.05% at December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the Corporation’s methodology to estimate its allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). Refer to the Credit Risk section of this MD&A for a detailed analysis of net charge-offs, non-performing assets, the allowance for credit losses and selected loan losses statistics.

Provision for Credit Losses – Investment Securities

The Corporation’s provision for credit losses related to its investment securities held-to-maturity is related to the portfolio of obligations from the Government of Puerto Rico, states and political subdivisions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the provision for credit losses was a benefit of $0.2 million, compared to a provision expense of $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, the total allowance for credit losses for this portfolio amounted to $10.1 million, compared to $10.3 million as of December 31, 2020.

116

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $153.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $27.0 million when compared with the same quarter of the previous year. The increase in non-interest income was primarily driven by:

 higher other service fees by $5.9 million mainly due to higher credit card fees by $5.5 million as a result of higher interchange transactional volumes;

 higher income from mortgage banking activities by $10.9 million mainly due to a favorable variance in fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) of $5.7 million due to a decrease in estimated prepayments driven by increases in interest rates, coupled with higher realized gains on closed derivative positions by $4.1 million;

 a favorable variance in unrealized net gains on equity securities by $3.1 million mainly on deferred compensation plans that have an offsetting expense in personnel related expenses;

 a favorable variance in adjustments to indemnity reserves on previously sold loans of $4.1 million mainly due to lower provision expense related to loans previously sold with credit recourse; and

 higher other operating income by $6.5 million mainly due to higher net earnings from the combined portfolio of investments under the equity method by $2.4 million and a higher gain on sale of daily auto rental units by $2.0 million.

These increases were partially offset by lower service charges on deposit accounts by $2.0 million due to increases in average deposits.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 increased by $ 2.9 million when compared with the same quarter of 2020, driven primarily by:

 higher personnel cost by $12.6 million mainly related to annual employee incentives tied to the Corporation’s financial performance by $7.4 million and higher commission, incentives and other bonuses by $8.0 million; partially offset by lower salaries by $2.9 million.

Partially offset by:

 lower professional fees by $1.1 million mainly due to lower advisory expenses;

 lower business promotion by $1.7 million due to lower seasonal donations and advertising expense;

 lower OREO expenses by $7.0 million mainly due to higher gain on sale of properties by $3.4 million and lower OREO costs including repairs and maintenance; and

 lower other operating expenses by $1.4 million due mainly to lower pension plan expense driven by annual changes in actuarial assumptions by $2.5 million and lower provision for unfunded commitments by $1.2 million since this is currently presented within the provision for credit losses, while it was included within other expenses in the first quarter of 2020; partially offset by higher credit and debit card processing, volume and interchange expenses by $2.2 million.

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 grou p has been defined to support the reportable segments.

For a description of the Corporation’s reportable segments, including additional financial information and the underlying management accounting process, refer to Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Corporate group reported a net income of $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared with a net loss of $0.9 million for the same quarter of the previous year.

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 $212.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared with net income of $78.1 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The increase in net income was principally driven by the benefit of $45.4 million in the reserve for credit losses and unfunded commitments recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The principal factors that contributed to the variance in the financial results include the following:

 Higher net interest income by $0.7 million mainly due to:

 lower interest income from loans by $11.3 million mainly due to lower yields in the commercial portfolio and lower average balance and yields in consumer loans; and

 lower interest income from investment securities by $8.3 million largely due to lower yields in money market investments and U.S. Treasuries due to the decrease interest rates, partially offset by higher income from mortgage-backed securities due to higher average balances;

Partially offset by:

 lower interest expense on deposits by $19.9 million mainly due to a lower cost of public sector deposits and time deposits, partially offset by higher average balances.

The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was 3.10% compared to 4.22% for the same quarter in the previous year. The decrease in net interest margin is driven by a lower yield in earning assets, and earning asset mix, partially offset by a lower cost of public sector deposits.

 The BPPR segment recorded a benefit of $45.4 million in its reserve for credit losses and unfunded commitments for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due to the improvements in the macroeconomic outlook and portfolio credit metrics. This compared to a provision expense of $113.6 million for the first quarter of 2020.

 Non-interest income was higher by $23.1 million mainly due to:

 higher other service fees by $6.2 million mainly due to higher credit card fees as a result of higher interchange transactional volumes;

 higher income from mortgage banking activities by $10.4 million due to a favorable variance in fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights of $5.8 million due to a decrease in estimated prepayments driven by increases in interest rates, coupled with higher realized gains on closed derivative positions;

 a favorable variance in adjustments to indemnity reserves on previously sold loans of $4.1 million mainly due to lower provision expense related to loans previously sold with credit recourse; and

119

 higher other operating income by $4.0 million mainly due to higher gain on sale of daily auto rental units by $2.0 million, recoveries from the sale of acquired fully charged off loans by $1.0 million and higher net earnings from the combined portfolio of investments under the equity method;

Partially offset by:

 Lower service charges on deposit accounts by $1.5 million due to an increase in average deposits.

 Higher operating expenses by $5.0 million mostly due to:

 Higher personnel costs by $4.4 million due mainly to the annual incentives tied to the Corporation’s financial performance;

 Higher occupancy expenses by $2.2 million, due to higher rent and lower income from building tenants; and

 Higher other operating expenses by $9.8 million due to higher allocations from the Corporate segment, mainly related to professional services fees and personnel costs;

Partially offset by:

 Lower professional fees by $3.0 million mainly due to lower advisory expenses related to corporate initiatives; and

 Lower OREO expenses by $6.6 million mainly due to lower maintenance expenses and higher gain on sale of residential properties.

 Higher income tax expense by $43.7 million due to higher income before tax.

Popular U.S.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the reportable segment of Popular U.S. reported a net income of $47.8 million, compared with a net loss of $43.4 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The favorable variance was principally driven by the benefit of $36.7 million in the reserve for credit losses and unfunded commitments recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The factors that contributed to the variance in the financial results included the following:

 higher net interest income by $6.5 million due to:

 lower interest expense on deposits by $13.1 million mainly due to lower interest rates;

Partially offset by:

 lower interest income from loans by $4.5 million mainly due to lower average balance in consumer loans; and

 lower interest income from investment securities by $2.8 million due to lower yields and lower average balances.

The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was 3.35% compared to 3.21% for the same quarter in the previous year.

 The PB segment recorded a benefit of $36.7 million in its reserve for credit losses and unfunded commitments for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due to the improvements in the macroeconomic outlook and portfolio credit metrics. This compared to a provision expense of $76.0 million for the first quarter of 2020.

 Lower operating expenses by $1.6 million due to:

120

 lower occupancy expense by 1.4 million due to lower rent expense related to the benefits of the completed branch optimization initiative in our New York Metro region; and

 Lower professional fees by $4.6 million, a portion of which is now centralized at the Corporate segment and charged back to operating units.

Partially offset by:

 Higher other operating expenses by $2.6 million due to higher Corporate expense allocations.

 Income tax unfavorable variance of $30.0 million mainly due to income before tax of $65.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a pre-tax loss of $55.4 million recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Other assets

Other assets amounted to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 12 for a breakdown of the principal categories that comprise the caption of “Other Assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Liabilities

The Corporation’s total liabilities were $61.0 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $59.9 billion at December 31, 2020, mainly due to increases in deposits as discussed below.

Deposits and Borrowings

The composition of the Corporation’s financing to total assets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is included in Table 5.

Deposits

The Corporation’s deposits totaled $58.8 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $56.9 billion at December 31, 2020. The deposits increase of $1.9 billion was mainly due to higher retail and commercial demand deposits by $1.6 billion at BPPR and PB and higher savings account deposits at BPPR by $0.3 billion. Public sector deposit balances, which amounted to $15.0 billion at March 31, 2021, are expected to decline over the long term. However, the receipt by the P.R. Government of additional COVID-19-related Federal assistance and seasonal tax collections are likely to increase public deposit balances at BPPR in the near term. The rate at which public deposit balances will decline is uncertain and difficult to predict. The amount and timing of any such reduction is likely to be impacted by, for example, the timeline of current debt restructuring efforts under Title III of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) and the speed at which the COVID-19 federal assistance is distributed. Refer to Table 6 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s deposits at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Borrowings

The Corporation’s borrowings remained flat at $1.3 billion at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 15 to the C onsolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on the Corporation’s borrowings. Also, refer to the Liquidity section in this MD&A for additional information on the Corporation’s funding sources.

Other liabilities

The Corporation’s other liabilities decreased by $0.8 billion to $0.9 billion at March 31, 2021, when compared to December 31, 2020, mainly due to the settlement of purchases of debt securities.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity totaled $5.9 billion at March 31, 2021, a decrease of $131.1 million when compared to December 31, 2020, principally due to lower accumulated unrealized gains on debt securities available-for-sale by $369.9 million, offset by net income for the quarter of $262.6 million, less declared dividends of $33.7 million on common stock and $0.4 million in dividends on preferred stock. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Comprehensive Income and of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for information on the composition of stockholders’ equity.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Corporation, BPPR and PB are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. The risk-based capital standards applicable to the Corporation, BPPR and PB (“Basel III capital rules”) are based on the final capital framework for strengthening international capital standards, known as Basel III, of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. As of March 31, 2021, t he Corporation’s, BPPR’s and PB’s capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.

The risk-based capital ratios presented in Table 7, which include common equity tier 1, Tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Basel III capital rules provide that a depository institution will be deemed to be well capitalized if it maintains a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based ratio of at least 10%. Management has determined that as of March 31, 2021, the Corporation, BPPR and PB 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 delays for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay.

On April 9, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interim final rule to modify the Basel III regulatory capital rules applicable to banking organizations to allow those organizations participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) to neutralize the regulatory capital effects of participating in the program. Specifically, the agencies have clarified that banking organizations, including the Corporation and its Bank subsidiaries, are permitted to assign a zero percent risk weight to PPP loans for purposes of determining risk-weighted assets and risk-based capital ratios. Additionally, in order to facilitate use of the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPL Facility”), which provides Federal Reserve Bank loans to eligible financial institutions such as the Corporation’s Bank subsidiaries to fund PPP loans, the agencies further clarified that, for purposes of determining leverage ratios, a banking organization is permitted to exclude from total average assets PPP loans that have been pledged as collateral for a PPPL Facility. As of March 31, 2021, the Corporation has $1.2 billion in PPP loans and $934 thousand pledged as collateral for PPPL Facilities.

The increase in the common equity Tier I capital ratio, Tier I capital ratio, total capital ratio, and leverage capital ratio as of March 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 was mainly attributed to the three months period earnings.

126

Non-GAAP financial measures

The tangible common equity, tangible common equity ratio, tangible assets and tangible book value per common share, which are presented in the table that follows, are non-GAAP measures. Management and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase accounting method for mergers and acquisitions. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets or related measures should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders' equity, total assets or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

Table 8 provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets as of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation engages in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet, or may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different than the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. As a provider of financial services, the Corporation routinely enters into commitments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financial needs of its customers. These commitments may include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. These commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process used for on-balance sheet instruments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. Other types of off-balance sheet arrangements that the Corporation enters in the ordinary course of business include derivatives and provision of guarantees, indemnifications, and representation and warranties. Refer to Note 19 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion related to the Corporation’s obligations under credit recourse and representation and warranties arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Corporation has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commercial commitments, which require future cash payments on debt agreements.

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

Refer to Note 15 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a breakdown of long-term borrowings by maturity.

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

Table 9 presents the contractual amounts related to the Corporation’s off-balance sheet lending and other activities at March 31, 2021.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Market / Interest Rate Risk

The financial results and capital levels of the Corporation are constantly exposed to market, interest rate and liquidity risks.

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

Most of the assets subject to market valuation risk are debt securities classified as available-for-sale. Refer to Notes 5 and 6 for further information on the debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale amounted to $22.8 billion as of March 31, 2021. Other assets subject to market risk include loans held-for-sale, which amounted to $84 million, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) which amounted to $123 million and securities classified as “trading”, which amounted to $37 million, as of March 31, 2021.

Interest Rate Risk (“IRR”)

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

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

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

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

Management assesses interest rate risk by comparing various NII simulations under different interest rate scenarios that differ in direction of interest rate changes, the degree of change and the projected shape of the yield curve. For example, the types of rate scenarios processed during the quarter include flat rates, implied forwards, and parallel and non-parallel rate shocks. Management also performs analyses to isolate and measure basis and prepayment risk exposures.

The asset and liability management group perform validation procedures on various assumptions used as part of the simulation analyses as well as validations of results on a monthly basis. In addition, the model and processes used to assess IRR are subject to independent validations according to the guidelines established in the Model Governance and Validation policy.

129

The Corporation processes NII simulations under interest rate scenarios in which the yield curve is assumed to rise and decline by the same amount (parallel shifts). The rate scenarios considered in these market risk simulations reflect instantaneous parallel changes of -100, -200, +100, +200 and +400 basis points during the succeeding twelve-month period. Simulation analyses are based on many assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates across all yield curve points and indexes, interest rate spreads, loan prepayments and deposit elasticity. Thus, they should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the estimates do not contemplate actions that management could take to respond to changes in interest rates. By their nature, these forward-looking computations are only estimates and may be different from what may actually occur in the future. The following table presents the results of the simulations at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, assuming a static balance sheet and parallel changes over flat spot rates over a one-year time horizon:

+200 basis points |  | 135,245 | 7.07 |  |  | 81,690 | 4.49 |

-200 basis points |  | (111,000) | (5.80) |  |  | (71,517) | (3.93) |

As of March 31, 2021, NII simulations show the Corporation maintains an asset sensitive position and is expected to benefit from an overall rising rate environment. The increases in sensitivity for the period are primarily driven by deposit increases which have increased the level of cash reserves maintained at the Federal Reserve as well as liftoff effects from market rates increasing over the quarter. Popular assumes rates do not turn negative therefore the increase in rates in the quarter impacted declining rate scenarios as rates now have more room to fall and thus increase the projected NII impact (negative) in the declining rate scenarios. The sensitivity to rising rate scenarios increased as well driven by growth in deposits which rose the levels of short-term assets and cash reserves that the Company maintains at the Federal Reserve. These short-term assets reprice immediately in rising rate scenarios thus increasing the NII benefit in these scenarios.

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

Trading

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

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation held trading securities with a fair value of $37 million, representing approximately 0.1% of the Corporation’s total assets. As shown in Table 11, the trading portfolio consists principally of mortgage-backed securities which at March 31, 2021 were investment grade securities. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the

130

trading portfolio also included $0.1 million in Puerto Rico government obligations. Trading instruments are recognized at fair value, with changes resulting from fluctuations in market prices, interest rates or exchange rates reported in current period earnings. The Corporation recognized a net trading account loss of $45 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and a net trading account gain of $491 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

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 approximately $0.4 million for the last week in March 2021. There are numerous assumptions and estimates associated with VAR modeling, and actual results could differ from these assumptions and estimates. Backtesting is performed to compare actual results against maximum estimated losses, in order to evaluate model and assumptions accuracy.

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

131

Liquidity

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

An institution’s liquidity may be pressured if, for example, it experiences a sudden and unexpected substantial cash outflow due to exogenous events such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, its credit rating is downgraded, or some other event causes counterparties to avoid exposure to the institution. Factors that the Corporation does not control, such as the economic outlook, adverse ratings of its principal markets and regulatory changes, could also affect its ability to obtain funding.

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

Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered deposits and public funds deposits, continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Corporation, funding 88% of the Corporation’s total assets at March 31, 2021 and 86% at December 31, 2020. The ratio of total ending loans to deposits was 50% at March 31, 2021, compared to 52% at December 31, 2020. In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains borrowing arrangements, which amounted to approximately $1.3 billion in outstanding balances at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. A detailed description of the Corporation’s borrowings, including their terms, is included in Note 15 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.

Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information of the Corporation’s borrowing facilities available through its banking subsidiaries.

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

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.

132

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

Deposits are a key source of funding as they tend to be less volatile than institutional borrowings and their cost is less sensitive to changes in market rates. Refer to Table 6 for a breakdown of deposits by major types. Core deposits are generated from a large base of consumer, corporate and public sector customers. Core deposits include all non-interest bearing deposits, savings deposits and certificates of deposit under $100,000, excluding brokered deposits with denominations under $100,000. Core deposits have historically provided the Corporation with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. Core deposits totaled $ 53.6 billion, or 91% of total deposits, at March 31, 2021, compared with $51.7 billion, or 91% of total deposits, at December 31, 2020. Core deposits financed 84% of the Corporation’s earning assets at March 31, 2021, compared with 82% at December 31, 2020.

The distribution by maturity of certificates of deposits with denominations of $100,000 and over at March 31, 2021 is presented in the table that follows:

Table 12 - Distribution by Maturity of Certificate of Deposits of $100,000 and Over |  |  |
(In thousands) |  |  |
3 months or less |  | $ | 2,433,443
3 to 6 months |  |  | 238,091
6 to 12 months |  |  | 545,054
Over 12 months |  |  | 1,162,724
Total |  | $ | 4,379,312

The Corporation had $ 0.8 billion in brokered deposits at March 31, 2021, which financed approximately 1% of its total assets (December 31, 2020 - $0.8 billion and 1%, respectively). In the event that any of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries’ regulatory capital ratios fall below those required by a well-capitalized institution or are subject to capital restrictions by the regulators, that banking subsidiary faces the risk of not being able to raise or maintain brokered deposits and faces limitations on the rate paid on deposits, which may hinder the Corporation’s ability to effectively compete in its retail markets and could affect its deposit raising efforts.

Deposits from the public sector represent an important source of funds for the Corporation. As of March 31, 2021, total public sector deposits were $15.0 billion, compared to $15.1 billion at December 31, 2020. Generally, these deposits require that the bank pledge high credit quality securities as collateral; therefore liquidity risks arising from public sector deposit outflows are lower given that the bank receives its collateral in return. This, now unpledged, collateral can either be financed via repurchase agreements or sold for cash. However, there are some timing differences between the time the deposit outflow occurs and when the bank receives its collateral.

At March 31, 2021, management believes that the banking subsidiaries had sufficient current and projected liquidity sources to meet their anticipated cash flow obligations, as well as special needs 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 will be severely constrained if the banking subsidiaries are unable to maintain access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to accommodate future financing needs at acceptable interest rates. The banking subsidiaries also are required to deposit cash or qualifying securities to meet margin requirements. To the extent that the value of securities previously pledged as collateral declines because of market changes, the Corporation will be required to deposit additional cash or securities to meet its margin requirements, thereby adversely affecting its liquidity. Finally, if management is required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources to meet its future growth, revenues may not increase proportionately to cover costs. In this case, profitability would be adversely affected.

Bank Holding Companies

The principal sources of funding for the 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 that are further described below and that may limit the ability of those subsidiaries to act as a source of funding to the BHCs.

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

The BHCs have in the past borrowed in the money markets and in the corporate debt market primarily to finance their non-banking subsidiaries; however, the cash needs of the Corporation’s non-banking subsidiaries other than to repay indebtedness and interest are now minimal. These sources of funding have become more costly due to the Corporation’s principal credit rating being below “investment grade”, which affects the Corporation’s ability to raise funds in the capital markets. The Corporation has an automatic shelf registration statement filed and effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits the Corporation to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity securities.

The outstanding balance of notes payable at the BHCs amounted to $682 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The contractual maturities of the BHCs notes payable at March 31, 2021 are presented in Table 13.

Table 13 - Distribution of BHC's Notes Payable by Contractual Maturity |  |
Year |  | (In thousands)
2023 | $ | 296,891
Later years |  | 384,936
Total | $ | 681,827

Annual debt service at the BHCs is approximately $44 million, and the Corporation’s latest quarterly dividend was $0.40 per share. The BHCs liquidity position continues to be adequate with sufficient cash on hand, investments and other sources of liquidity which are expected to be enough to meet all BHCs obligations during the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2021, the BHCs had cash and money markets investments totaling $150 million, borrowing potential of $152 million from its secured facility with BPPR. In addition to these liquidity sources, the stake in EVERTEC had a market value of $434 million as of March 31, 2021 and it represents an additional source of contingent liquidity.

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. The liquidity needs of the non-banking subsidiaries are minimal since most of them are funded internally from operating cash flows or from intercompany borrowings or capital contributions from their holding companies.

Dividends

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation declared quarterly dividends on its outstanding common stock of $0.40 per share, for a year-to-date total of $ 33.8 million. The dividends for the Corporation’s Series A preferred stock amounted to $0.4 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the BHC’s received dividends amounting to $2 million in dividends from its non-banking subsidiaries. Dividends from BPPR constitute Popular, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity. On May 6, 2021, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend will be payable on July 1, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 26, 2021. On May 3, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) to repurchase an aggregate of $350 million of Popular’s common stock. Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated financial statements for additional information of the ASR.

134

Other Funding Sources and Capital

The debt securities portfolio provides an additional source of liquidity, which may be realized through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. The Corporation’s debt securities portfolio consists primarily of liquid U.S. government debt securities, U.S. government sponsored agency debt securities, U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government sponsored agency collateralized mortgage obligations that can be used to raise funds in the repo markets. The availability of the repurchase agreement would be subject to having sufficient unpledged collateral available at the time the transactions are to be consummated, in addition to overall liquidity and risk appetite of the various counterparties. The Corporation’s unpledged debt securities amounted to $5.6 billion at March 31, 2021 and $3.4 billion at December 31, 2020. A substantial portion of these debt securities could be used to raise financing in the U.S. money markets or from secured lending sources.

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

Financial information of guarantor and issuers of registered guaranteed securities

The Corporation (not including any of its subsidiaries, “PIHC”) is the parent holding company of Popular North America “PNA” and has other subsidiaries through which it conducts its financial services operations. PNA is an operating, 100% subsidiary of Popular, Inc. Holding Company (“PIHC”) and is the holding company of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Equity One, Inc. and Popular Bank, including Popular Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Popular Equipment Finance, Inc., Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A., and E-LOAN, Inc.

PNA has issued junior subordinated debentures guaranteed by PIHC (together with PNA, the “obligor group”) purchased by statutory trusts established by the Corporation. These debentures were purchased by the statutory trust using the proceeds from trust preferred securities issued to the public (referred to as “capital securities”), together with the proceeds of the related issuances of common securities of the trusts.

PIHC fully and unconditionally guarantees the junior subordinated debentures issued by PNA. PIHC’s obligation to make a guarantee payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts to the holders of the applicable capital securities or by causing the applicable trust to pay such amounts to such holders. Each guarantee does not apply to any payment of distributions by the applicable trust except to the extent such trust has funds available for such payments. If PIHC does not make interest payments on the debentures held by such trust, such trust will not pay distributions on the applicable capital securities and will not have funds available for such payments. PIHC’s guarantee of PNA’s junior subordinated debentures is unsecured and ranks subordinate and junior in right of payment to all the PIHC’s other liabilities in the same manner as the applicable debentures as set forth in the applicable indentures; and equally with all other guarantees that the PIHC issues. The guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of collection, which means that the guaranteed party may sue the guarantor to enforce its rights under the respective guarantee without suing any other person or entity.

The principal sources of funding for PIHC and PNA have included dividends received from their banking and non-banking subsidiaries, asset sales and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity. As further described below, in the Risk to Liquidity section, various statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends an insured depository institution may pay to its holding company without regulatory approval.

The following summarized financial information presents the financial position of the obligor group, on a combined basis at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the period ended March 31, 2021. Investments in and equity in the earnings from the other subsidiaries and affiliates that are not members of the obligor group have been excluded.

The summarized financial information of the obligor group is presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the obligor group eliminated. The obligor group's amounts due from, amounts due to and transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates have been presented in separate line items, if they are material. In addition, related parties transactions are presented separately.

Risks to Liquidity

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

136

The importance of the Puerto Rico market for the Corporation is an additional risk factor that could affect its financing activities. In the case of a deterioration in economic and fiscal conditions in Puerto Rico, the credit quality of the Corporation could be affected and result in higher credit costs. Refer to the Geographic and Government Risk section of this MD&A for some highlights on the current status of the Puerto Rico economy and the ongoing fiscal crisis.

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

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

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

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries have historically not used unsecured capital market borrowings to finance its operations, and therefore are less sensitive to the level and changes in the Corporation’s overall credit ratings.

Obligations Subject to Rating Triggers or Collateral Requirements

The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries currently do not use borrowings that are rated by the major rating agencies, as these banking subsidiaries are funded primarily with deposits and secured borrowings. The banking subsidiaries had $9 million in deposits at March 31, 2021 that are subject to rating triggers.

In addition, certain mortgage servicing and custodial agreements that BPPR has with third parties include rating covenants. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, the third parties have the right to require the institution to engage a substitute cash custodian for escrow deposits and/or increase collateral levels securing the recourse obligations. Also, as discussed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation services residential mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions. Certain contractual agreements require the Corporation to post collateral to secure such recourse obligations if the institution’s required credit ratings are not maintained. Collateral pledged by the Corporation to secure recourse obligations amounted to approximately $43 million at March 31, 2021. The Corporation could be required to post additional collateral under the agreements. Management expects that it would be able to meet additional collateral requirements if and when needed. The requirements to post collateral under certain agreements or the loss of escrow deposits could reduce the Corporation’s liquidity resources and impact its operating results.

Credit Risk

Geographic and Government Risk

The Corporation is exposed to geographic and government risk. The Corporation’s assets and revenue composition by geographical area and by business segment reporting are presented in Note 33 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

A significant portion of our financial activities and credit exposure is concentrated in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth” or “Puerto Rico”), which faces severe economic and fiscal challenges.

COVID-19 Pandemic

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

In Puerto Rico, former Governor Wanda Vázquez issued an executive order in March 2020 declaring a health emergency, ordering residents to shelter in place, implementing a mandatory curfew, and requiring the closure of non-essential businesses. While many of the restrictions have been gradually lifted, a mandatory curfew is still in effect and most businesses have had to make significant adjustments to protect customers and employees, including transitioning to telework and suspending or modifying certain operations in compliance with health and safety guidelines. The Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly enacted legislation in April 2020 requiring financial institutions to offer moratoriums on consumer financial products to clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was effective through August 2020. The Federal Government has also approved several economic stimulus measures that seek to cushion the economic fallout of the pandemic, including providing direct subsidies, expanding eligibility for and increasing unemployment benefits and guaranteeing through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) loans to small and medium businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the disease have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on economic activity worldwide, including in Puerto Rico. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue adversely affect economic activity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the restrictions imposed by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the same, the pace of global vaccination efforts, and the amount of federal and local assistance offered to offset the impact of the pandemic. Pursuant to the 2021 Fiscal Plan (as defined below), economic stimulus measures have more than offset the estimated income loss due to reduced economic activity in Puerto Rico and are estimated to have caused a temporary increase in personal income on a net basis. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to offset the pandemic’s economic impact in the medium- and long-term.

For a discussion of the impact of the pandemic on the Corporation’s operations and financial results during the first quarter of 2021, refer to the MD&A Significant Events section, on the accompanying financial statements. For additional discussion of risk factors related to the impact of the pandemic, see “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Economic Performance

The Commonwealth’s economy entered a recession in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and its gross national product (“GNP”) contracted (in real terms) every fiscal year between 2007 and 2018, with the exception of fiscal year 2012. Pursuant to the latest Puerto Rico Planning Board (the “Planning Board”) estimates, dated March 2021, the Commonwealth’s real GNP increased by 1.8% in fiscal year 2019 due to the influx of federal funds and private insurance payments to repair damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and María. However, the Planning Board estimates that the Commonwealth’s real GNP decreased by approximately 3.2% in fiscal year 2020 due primarily to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by the government in response

138

to the same. Finally, the Planning Board projects that the negative effects of COVID-19 will continue through the current fiscal year, resulting in a contraction in real GNP of approximately -2%.

Fiscal Crisis

The Commonwealth’s central government and many of its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities continue to face significant fiscal challenges, which have been primarily the result of economic contraction, persistent and significant budget deficits, a high debt burden, unfunded legacy obligations, and lack of access to the capital markets, among other factors. As a result, the Commonwealth and certain of its instrumentalities have been unable to make debt service payments on their outstanding bonds and notes since 2016. The escalating fiscal and economic crisis and imminent widespread defaults prompted the U.S. Congress to enact the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) in June 2016. As further discussed below under “Pending Title III Proceedings,” the Commonwealth and several of its instrumentalities are currently in the process of restructuring their debts through the debt restructuring mechanisms provided by PROMESA.

PROMESA

PROMESA, among other things, created a seven-member federally-appointed oversight board (the “Oversight Board”) with ample powers over the fiscal and economic affairs of the Commonwealth, its public corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities and established two mechanisms for the restructuring of the obligations of such entities. Pursuant to PROMESA, the Oversight Board will remain in place until market access is restored and balanced budgets, in accordance with modified accrual accounting, are produced for at least four consecutive years. In August 2016, President Obama appointed the seven voting members of the Oversight Board through the process established in PROMESA, which authorizes the President to select the members from several lists required to be submitted by congressional leaders and which process was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. The terms of the original Oversight Board members expired in August 2019, but PROMESA allows members to remain in their roles until their successors have been appointed. All of the original members continued to serve on the Oversight Board on holdover status until 2020, when President Donald Trump reappointed three of the original members and appointed four new members to the Oversight Board.

In October 2016, the Oversight Board designated the Commonwealth and all of its public corporations and instrumentalities as “covered entities” under PROMESA. The only Commonwealth government entities that were not subject to such initial designation were the Commonwealth’s municipalities. In May 2019, however, the Oversight Board designated all of the Commonwealth’s municipalities as covered entities. At the Oversight Board’s request, covered entities are required to submit fiscal plans and annual budgets to the Oversight Board for its review and approval. They are also required to seek Oversight Board approval to issue, guarantee or modify their debts and to enter into contracts with an aggregate value of $10 million or more. Finally, covered entities are potentially eligible to avail themselves of the debt restructuring processes provided by PROMESA.

Fiscal Plans

Commonwealth Fiscal Plan. The Oversight Board has certified several fiscal plans for the Commonwealth since 2017. The most recent fiscal plan for the Commonwealth certified by the Oversight Board is dated April 23, 2021 (the “2021 Fiscal Plan”).

Pursuant to the 2021 Fiscal Plan, while the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken in response to the same severely reduced economic activity and caused an unprecedented increase in unemployment in Puerto Rico, pandemic-related federal and local stimulus funding have more than offset the estimated income loss due to reduced economic activity and are estimated to have caused a temporary increase in personal income on a net basis. The 2021 Fiscal Plan’s economic projections incorporate adjustments for these short-term income effects for purposes of estimating tax receipts. For example, the 2021 Fiscal Plan estimates that real GNP contracted by 3% in fiscal year 2020, but estimates the GNP contraction adjusted for short-term income effects to have been approximately 1.1%. For fiscal years 2021 and 2022, the 2021 Fiscal Plan projects that real GNP will grow 1% and 0.6%, respectively, but projects that growth adjusted for income effects for such years will be approximately 3.8% and 1.5%, respectively.

The 2021 Fiscal Plan projects that, if the fiscal measures and structural reforms contemplated by the plan are not successfully implemented, the Commonwealth will have a pre-contractual debt service deficit starting in fiscal year 2023. It estimates that the fiscal measures could drive approximately $10 billion in savings and extra revenue over fiscal years 2022 through 2026 and that the structural reforms could drive a cumulative 0.90% increase in growth by fiscal year 2051 (equal to approximately $30.7 billion).

139

However, even after the fiscal measures and structural reforms, and before contractual debt service, the 2021 Fiscal Plan projects that there will be an annual deficit starting in fiscal year 2036.

The 2021 Fiscal Plan provides for the gradual reduction and the ultimate elimination of Commonwealth budgetary subsidies to municipalities, which constitute a material portion of the operating revenues of some municipalities. Since fiscal year 2017, Commonwealth appropriations to municipalities have decreased by approximately 64% (from approximately $370 million in fiscal year 2017 to approximately $132 million in fiscal year 2020). In response to the COVID-19 crisis, reductions in appropriations to municipalities were paused in fiscal year 2021. Municipalities have also received extraordinary appropriations and other funds from federally-funded programs during the current fiscal year, which has helped temporarily offset the impact of the reduced Commonwealth support. However, the 2021 Fiscal Plan contemplates additional reductions in appropriations to municipalities starting in fiscal year 2022, before eventually phasing out all appropriations in fiscal year 2025. Further, while the Commonwealth had enacted legislation in 2019 suspending the municipality’s obligations to contribute to the Commonwealth’s health plan and pay-as-you go retirement system, such legislation was challenged by the Oversight Board and eventually declared null by the Title III court in April 2020. As a result, municipalities are required to cover their own employees’ healthcare costs and retirement benefits and had to reimburse the Commonwealth for such costs corresponding to the period during which the law in effect. Finally, t he 2021 Fiscal Plan notes that municipalities have made little or no progress towards implementing fiscal discipline required to reduce reliance on Commonwealth appropriations and that this lack of fiscal management threatens the ability of municipalities to provide necessary services, such as health, sanitation, public safety, and emergency services to their residents, forcing them to prioritize expenditures.

Other Fiscal Plans. Pursuant to PROMESA, the Oversight Board has also requested and certified fiscal plans for several public corporations and instrumentalities. The certified fiscal plan for the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), Puerto Rico’s electric power utility, contemplated the transformation of Puerto Rico’s electric system through, among other things, the establishment of a public-private partnership with respect to PREPA’s transmission and distribution system, and calls for significant structural reforms at PREPA. The procurement process for the establishment of a public-private partnership with respect to PREPA’s transmission and distribution system (the “T&D System”) was completed in June 2020. The selected proponent, LUMA Energy LLC (“LUMA”), and PREPA entered into a 15-year agreement whereby LUMA will be responsible for operating, maintaining and modernizing the T&D System. LUMA and PREPA have announced that the transition of the operations of the T&D System to LUMA is expected to occur on or about June 1, 2021.

On April 23, 2021, the Oversight Board certified the latest version of the fiscal plan (the “CRIM Fiscal Plan”) for the Municipal Revenue Collection Center (“CRIM”), the government entity responsible for collecting property taxes and distributing them among the municipalities. The CRIM Fiscal Plan outlines a series of measures centered around improving the competitiveness of Puerto Rico’s property tax regime and the enhancement of property tax collections, including identifying and appraising new properties as well as improvements to existing properties, and implementing operational and technological initiatives.

Pending Title III Proceedings

On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board, on behalf of the Commonwealth, filed a petition in the U.S. District Court to restructure the Commonwealth’s liabilities under Title III of PROMESA. The Oversight Board has subsequently filed analogous petitions with respect to the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”), the Employees Retirement System of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“ERS”), the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority, PREPA and the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority (“PBA”). On February 12, 2019, the government completed a restructuring of COFINA’s debts pursuant to a plan of adjustment confirmed by the U.S. District Court. In March 2021, the Oversight Board filed a plan of adjustment for the Commonwealth, ERS and PBA in the pending debt restructuring proceedings under Title III of PROMESA. The plan, which has substantial support from several creditor constituencies but is still subject to confirmation in the Title III proceeding, seeks to restructure approximately $35 billion of debt and other claims against the Commonwealth, PBA and ERS, and more than $50 billion of pension liabilities.

Seismic Activity

On January 7, 2020, Puerto Rico was struck by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake, which caused island-wide power outages and significant damage to infrastructure and property in the southwest region of the island. The 6.4 earthquake was preceded by foreshocks and followed by aftershocks. The Commonwealth’s government has estimated total earthquake-related damages at approximately $1 billion.

Exposure of the Corporation

The credit quality of BPPR’s loan portfolio reflects, among other things, the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico and other adverse conditions affecting Puerto Rico consumers and businesses. The effects of the prolonged recession have been reflected in limited loan demand, an increase in the rate of foreclosures and delinquencies on loans granted in Puerto Rico. While PROMESA provided a process to address the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis, the complexity and uncertainty of the Title III proceedings for the Commonwealth and various of its instrumentalities and the adjustment measures required by the fiscal plans still present significant economic risks. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has affected many of our individual customers and customers’ businesses. This, when added to Puerto Rico’s ongoing fiscal crisis and recession, could cause credit losses that adversely affect us and may negatively affect consumer confidence, result in reductions in consumer spending, and adversely impact our interest and non-interest revenues. If global or local economic conditions worsen or the Government of Puerto Rico and the Oversight Board are unable to adequately manage the Commonwealth’s fiscal and economic challenges, including by controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and consummating an orderly restructuring of the Commonwealth’s debt obligations while continuing to provide essential services, these adverse effects could continue or worsen in ways that we are not able to predict.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government’s instrumentalities and municipalities totaled $375 million and $377 million, respectively, which amounts were fully outstanding on such dates. Further deterioration of the Commonwealth’s fiscal and economic situation could adversely affect the value of our Puerto Rico government obligations, resulting in losses to us. Of the amount outstanding, $342 million consists of loans and $33 million are securities ($342 million and $35 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020). Substantially all of the amount outstanding at March 31, 2021 were obligations from various Puerto Rico municipalities. In most cases, these were “general obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged its good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power, or “special obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged other revenues. At March 31, 2021, 74% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities was concentrated in the municipalities of San Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Bayamón. For additional discussion of the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities, refer to Note 20 – Commitments and Contingencies.

In addition, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation had $311 million in loans insured or securities issued by Puerto Rico governmental entities, but for which the principal source of repayment is non-governmental ($317 million at December 31, 2020). These included $255 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, 2020 - $260 million). These mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA insurance covers losses in the event of a borrower default and upon the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The Corporation also had, at March 31, 2021, $45 million in bonds issued by HFA which are secured by second mortgage loans on Puerto Rico residential properties, and for which HFA also provides insurance to cover losses in the event of a borrower default, and upon the satisfaction of certain other conditions (December 31, 2020 - $46 million). In the event that the mortgage loans insured by HFA and held by the Corporation directly or those serving as collateral for the HFA bonds default and the collateral is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance of this loans, HFA’s ability to honor its insurance will depend, among other factors, on the financial condition of HFA at the time such obligations become due and payable. 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. In addition, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation had $11 million of commercial real estate notes issued by government entities but that are payable from rent paid by non-governmental parties (December 31, 2020 - $11 million).

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

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

141

The Corporation may also have direct exposure with regards to avoidance and other causes of action initiated by the Oversight Board on behalf of the Commonwealth or other Title III debtors. For additional information regarding such exposure, refer to Note 20 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

United States Virgin Islands

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

The USVI has been experiencing a number of fiscal and economic challenges, which have been and maybe be further exacerbated as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and which 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.

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

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation’s direct exposure to USVI instrumentalities and public corporations amounted to approximately $103 million, of which $69 million is outstanding (compared to $105 million and $70 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020). Of the amount outstanding, approximately (i) $42 million represents loans to the West Indian Company LTD, a government-owned company that owns and operates a cruise ship pier and shopping mall complex in St. Thomas, (ii) $20 million represents loans to the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority, a public corporation of the USVI that operates USVI’s water production and electric generation plants, (iii) $3 million represents loans to the Virgin Islands Public Finance Authority (“VI PFA” ), a public corporation of the USVI created for the purpose of raising capital for public projects and (iv) $4 million in loans to the Virgin Islands Porth Authority (compared to $43 million, $20 million, $3 million, and $4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020).

British Virgin Islands

The Corporation has operations in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), which has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly as a reduction in the tourism activity which accounts for a significant portion of its economy. Although the Corporation has no significant exposure to a single borrower in the BVI, it has a loan portfolio amounting to approximately $250 million comprised of various retail and commercial clients, including a loan of approximately $18 million with the government of the BVI (compared to $251 million and $19 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020).

U.S. Government

As further detailed in Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a substantial portion of the Corporation’s investment securities represented exposure to the U.S. Government in the form of U.S. Government sponsored entities, as well as agency mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, $1.8 billion of residential mortgages, $1.2 billion of SBA loans under the PPP and $60 million commercial loans were insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies at March 31, 2021 (compared to $1.8 billion, $1.3 billion and $60 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020).

142

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets include primarily past-due loans that are no longer accruing interest, renegotiated loans, and real estate property acquired through foreclosure. A summary, including certain credit quality metrics, is presented in Table 16.

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

The Corporation exhibited improved credit quality metrics and lower credit costs during the first quarter of 2021, driven by the improving economic environment, which reflects the impact of the unprecedented amounts of government stimulus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and prudent risk management practices. Notwithstanding, given the disruptions and continued uncertainties caused by the pandemic, we will continue to closely monitor economic conditions, the effect of the pandemic on our loan portfolios and associated risks. However, management believes that the improvement over the last few years in the risk profile of the Corporation’s loan portfolios, along with the government stimulus, positions Popular to operate successfully under the current environment.

Total NPAs decreased by $50 million when compared with December 31, 2020. Total non-performing loans held-in-portfolio decreased by $40 million from December 31, 2020. BPPR’s NPLs decreased by $34 million, driven by lower mortgage NPLs by $24 million, reflective of the resumption of consistent loan payments following the end of the COVID-19 moratorium period. BPPR’s construction NPLs decreased by $7 million mostly due to a previously reserved loan that was partially charged-off during the quarter. Popular Bank’s NPLs decreased by $5 million, mostly related to a commercial loan transferred to loans-held-for-sale and loan collection activity. Excluding government guaranteed loans, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation had 122,216 loans with an aggregate book value of $6.8 billion that had completed their COVID-19 moratorium period, of which 114,900 loans, or 94%, with an aggregate book value of $6.5 billion were current in their payments. At March 31, 2021, the ratio of NPLs to total loans held-in-portfolio was 2.4% compared to 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020. In addition, other real estate owned loans (“OREOs”) decreased by $11 million, mostly due to the resumption of sales and the suspension of foreclosure activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At March 31, 2021, NPLs secured by real estate amounted to $596 million in the Puerto Rico operations and $33 million in Popular U.S. These figures were $630 million and $34 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio secured by real estate (“CRE”) amounted to $7.8 billion at March 31, 2021, of which $1.8 billion was secured with owner occupied properties, compared with $7.8 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2020. CRE NPLs amounted to $168 million at March 31, 2021, compared with $173 million at December 31, 2020. The CRE NPL ratios for the BPPR and Popular U.S. segments were 4.50% and 0.02%, respectively, at March 31, 2021, compared with 4.51% and 0.07%, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

In addition to the NPLs included in Table 16, at March 31, 2021, there were $228 million of performing loans, mostly commercial loans, which in management’s opinion, are currently subject to potential future classification as non-performing and are considered impaired (December 31, 2020 - $228 million).

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, total inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, remained flat at approximately $84 million, when compared to the inflows for the same period in 2020. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment decreased by $15 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2020, driven by lower mortgage inflows by $18 million. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the Popular U.S. segment increased by $14 million from the same period in 2020, mostly due to due to higher construction inflows related to a loan that reached 90 days past due during its renewal process. As of March 31, 2021, the loan was current.

[1] There were $4 million in non-performing commercial loans held-for-sale as of March 31, 2021 and $3 million as of December 31, 2020.
[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. The balance of these loans includes $29 million at March 31, 2021 related to the rebooking of loans previously pooled into GNMA securities, in which the Corporation had a buy-back option as further described below (December 31, 2020 - $57 million). Under the GNMA program, issuers such as BPPR have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to repurchases option are required to be reflected (rebooked) on the financial statements of BPPR with an offsetting liability. While the borrowers for our serviced GNMA portfolio benefited from the moratorium, the delinquency status of these loans continued to be reported to GNMA without considering the moratorium. These balances include $341 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $329 million). Furthermore, the Corporation has approximately $58 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, 2020 - $60 million).

Allowance for Credit Losses Loans Held-in-Portfolio

The Corporation adopted the new CECL accounting standard effective on January 1, 2020. The allowance for credit losses (“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 troubled debt restructurings separately from the remainder of the loan portfolio. The Corporation’s management evaluates the adequacy of the ACL on a quarterly basis. In this evaluation, management considers current conditions, macroeconomic economic expectations through a reasonable and supportable period, historical loss experience, portfolio composition by loan type and risk characteristics, results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans, and regulatory requirements, amongst other factors.

The Corporation must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown, such as economic developments affecting specific customers, industries or markets. Other factors that can affect management’s estimates are recalibration of statistical models used to calculate lifetime expected losses, changes in underwriting standards, financial accounting standards and loan impairment measurements, among others. Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold, may also affect the required level of the ACL. Consequently, the business financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations could also be affected.

At March 31, 2021, the ACL for the Corporation’s loans held-in-portfolio amounted to $801 million, a decrease of $95 million, when compared with December 31, 2020, mainly prompted by improvements in the macroeconomic outlook. The ACL incorporated updated economic stimulus assumptions that contributed to a more optimistic view of the economy compared to the fourth quarter 2020 scenarios, prompting substantial reductions in reserves across different portfolios. The ACL for BPPR decreased by $58 million to $682 million, while the ACL for PB decreased by $37 million to $119 million, when compared to December 31, 2020. The decrease in the reserve for PB was partially offset with qualitative reserves aimed at addressing uncertainties mainly in the commercial real estate portfolio. The provision for credit losses for the loans-held-in portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 amounted to a benefit of $75.8 million, decreasing by $264.8 million from the same period in the prior year, amid improved macroeconomic outlook and lower NCOs.

NCOs for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $21.0 million, decreasing by $41.5 million when compared to the same period in 2020. The BPPR segment NCOs decreased by $40.0 million mainly driven by lower consumer NCOs by $43.5 million, aided by measures taken by the Corporation to control the impact of the pandemic, as well as the U.S. government stimulus programs, and $7.6 million in recoveries recorded from the sale of fully charged-off loans during the first quarter of 2021. The PB segment NCOs amounted to $1.6 million, decreasing by $1.5 million, mainly driven by lower consumer. The Corporation continues to be attentive to the effect of the pandemic on our loan portfolios and changes in delinquencies and NCOs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Corporation’s troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) loans amounted to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2021, increasing by $39 million, or approximately 2.35%, from December 31, 2020, mainly related to mortgage borrowers that needed additional COVID extensions past the original 6-month moratorium period. TDRs in the BPPR segment increased by $40 million, mostly related to higher mortgage TDRs by $22 million, of which $20 million were related to government guaranteed loans, coupled with a combined increase of $20 million in the commercial and construction TDRs. The PB segment TDRs remained essentially flat at $16 million from December 31, 2020. TDRs in accruing status increased by $60 million from December 31, 2020, mostly related to an increase of $39 million and $22 million in BPPR’s mortgage and commercial TDRs, respectively, while non-accruing TDRs decreased by $21 million.
