LOANS RECEIVABLE

NOTE 5 - LOANS

The Company’s loan portfolio is composed of two segments, loans initially accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred as "originated and other" loans) and loans acquired (referred as "acquired" loans). Acquired loans are further segregated between acquired BBVAPR loans and acquired Eurobank loans. Acquired Eurobank loans were purchased subject to loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC. The FDIC loss-share coverage related to commercial and other-non single family acquired Eurobank loans expired on June 30, 2015. Notwithstanding the expiration of loss share coverage of commercial loans, on July 2, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC pursuant to which the FDIC concurred with a potential sale of a pool of loss-share assets covered under the commercial loss-sharing agreement. Pursuant to such agreement, and as further discussed below, the FDIC agreed and paid $20 million in loss share coverage with respect to the aggregate loss resulting from any portfolio sale within 120 days of the agreement. This sale was completed on September 28, 2015. The coverage for the single family residential loans will expire on June 30, 2020. At December 31, 2015, the remaining covered loans amounting to $59.6 million, net carrying amount, are included as part of acquired Eurobank loans under the name "loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties". At December 31, 2014, covered loans amounted to $298.9 million, net carrying amount. Covered loans are no longer a material amount. Therefore, the Company changed its current and prior year loan disclosures during 2015.

On September 28, 2015, the Company sold a portion of covered non-performing commercial loans amounting to $197.1 million unpaid principal balance or UPB ($100.0 million carrying amount). The sales price was 18.44% of UPB, or $36.3 million. The FDIC covered $20.0 million of losses as part of its loss-share agreement with the Company. As a result, a $20.0 million reimbursement was recorded in the statement of operations. The Company also recorded a $32.9 million provision for loan and lease losses for acquired Eurobank loans, which was partially offset by $4.6 million in cost recoveries. Also, as part of this transaction, the Company sold certain non-performing commercial loans from the BBVAPR Acquisition amounting to $38.1 million unpaid principal balance ($9.9 million carrying amount). The sales price was $5.2 million. As a result, a $5.2 million provision for loan and lease losses was recorded for BBVAPR acquired loans, which was partially offset by $2.4 million in cost recoveries. In addition, certain additional foreclosed real estate with a carrying amount of $11.0 million was sold for $1.7 million. As part of this transaction, the Company made customary representations and warranties to the purchaser regarding certain characteristics of the assets that were sold. Such representations and warranties survive for a limited period of time. To the extent that the assets sold do not meet the specified characteristics, and subject to certain notice, cure period and other conditions, the purchaser would be entitled to require the Company to repurchase such assets.

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

At December 31, 2014, covered loans amounted to $363.2 million, gross carrying amount. Interest income recognized for covered loans during 2015 and 2014 was $33.7 million and $89.0 million, respectively.

Originated and Other Loans and Leases Held for Investment

The Company’s originated and other loans held for investment are encompassed within four portfolio segments: mortgage, commercial, consumer, and auto and leasing.

The following tables present the aging of the recorded investment in gross originated and other loans held for investment as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 by class of loans. Mortgage loans past due include delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program. Servicers of loans underlying GNMA mortgage-backed securities must report as their own assets the defaulted loans that they have the option (but not the obligation) to repurchase, even when they elect not to exercise that option.

During the year ended 2015, the Company changed its early delinquency reporting on mortgage loans from one scheduled payment due to two scheduled payments due in order to comply with regulatory reporting instructions and be comparable with local peers, except for troubled debt restructured loans which continue using one scheduled payment due.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had carrying balance of $334.6 million and $450.2 million, respectively, in loans granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities as part of the institutional commercial loan segment. All loans granted to Puerto Rico government were current at December 31, 2015 and 2014. We, as part of a bank syndicate, have granted various extensions to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) and on November 5, 2015 entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with a view towards restructuring the debt on terms that provide for full repayment of the debt to the Bank. After the first extension in the third quarter of 2014, the Company classified the credit as substandard and a troubled-debt restructuring. The Company conducted an impairment analysis considering the probability of collection of principal and interest, which included a financial model to project the future liquidity status of PREPA under various scenarios and its capacity to service its financial obligations, and concluded that PREPA had sufficient cash flows for the repayment of the line of credit. Despite the Company’s analysis showing PREPA’s capacity to repay the line of credit, the Company placed its participation in non-accrual and recorded a $24 million provision during the first quarter of 2015, based on management’s concerns regarding PREPA’s willingness to repay the debt. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an additional $29.3 million provision for loan and lease losses on PREPA. Since it was placed in non-accrual, interest payments have been applied to principal.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans were initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for under either ASC 310-30 (Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality) or ASC 310-20 (Non-refundable fees and Other Costs). We have acquired loans in two acquisitions, BBVAPR and Eurobank.

Acquired BBVAPR Loans

Accounted for under ASC 310-20 (Loans with revolving feature and/or acquired at a premium)

Credit cards, retail and commercial revolving lines of credits, floor plans and performing auto loans with FICO scores over 660 acquired at a premium, excluding the acquired Eurobank loan portfolio, are accounted for under the guidance of ASC 310-20, which requires that any contractually required loan payment receivable in excess of the Company’s initial investment in the loans be accreted into interest income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loan. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 are placed on non-accrual status when past due in accordance with the Company’s non-accrual policy, and any accretion of discount or amortization of premium is discontinued. Acquired BBVAPR loans that were accounted for under the provisions of ASC 310-20 are removed from the acquired loan category at the end of the reporting period upon refinancing, renewal or normal re-underwriting.

The following tables present the aging of the recorded investment in gross acquired BBVAPR loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, by class of loans:

Total non-accrual loans$300,119$101,542

Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are excluded from the above table as they are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method, in which these loans will accrete interest income over the remaining life of the loans using estimated cash flow analyses or are accounted under the cost recovery method.

Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable FHA and VA programs are classified as non-performing loans when they become 90 days or more past due, but are not placed in non-accrual status until they become 18 months or more past due, since they are insured loans. Therefore, these loans are included as non-performing loans but excluded from non-accrual loans.

During the first quarter of 2015, the revolving line of credit to PREPA was classified as non-accrual. At December 31, 2015, this line of credit had an unpaid principal balance of $190.3 million. Starting with the second quarter of 2015, interest payments received were applied to principal. As of December 31, 2015, the specific reserve was $53.3 million.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, loans whose terms have been extended and which are classified as troubled-debt restructurings that are not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $93.6 million and $274.4 million, respectively, as they are performing under their new terms. At December 31, 2014, the balance included the revolving line of credit to PREPA.

Impaired Loans

The Company evaluates all loans, some individually and others as homogeneous groups, for purposes of determining impairment. The total investment in impaired commercial loans was $235.8 million and $236.9 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2015 and 2014 included the PREPA line of credit with an unpaid principal balance of $190.3 million and $200.0 million, respectively. The PREPA line of credit was classified as a troubled-debt restructuring during 2014. The impaired commercial loans were measured based on the fair value of collateral or the present value of cash flows, including those identified as troubled-debt restructurings. The valuation allowance for impaired commercial loans amounted to $55.9 million and $841 thousand at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The valuation allowance for impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2015 includes $53.3 million of specific allowance for PREPA recorded during 2015.The total investment in impaired mortgage loans was $90.0 million and $94.2 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Impairment on mortgage loans assessed as troubled-debt restructurings was measured using the present value of cash flows. The valuation allowance for impaired mortgage loans amounted to $9.2 million and $9.0 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The tables above only present information with respect to acquired BBVAPR loans and loan pools accounted for under ASC 310-30 if there is a recorded impairment to such loans or loan pools and a specific allowance for loan losses. The decrease in commercial loan pools from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 was mostly caused by the sale of covered commercial loans during the third quarter of 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company eliminated the specific allowance of $5 thousand maintained on impaired acquired BBVAPR consumer loan pool accounted under ASC 310-30 because there was an increase in the net present value of cash flows expected to be collected from such pool when compared with the recorded investment. Likewise, the increase in mortgage and auto loan pools from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 was caused by the establishment of a specific reserve with respect to impaired mortgage and auto loan pools that were required based on the net present value of the cash flows expected to be collected.

The tables above only present information with respect to acquired Eurobank loans and loan pools accounted for under ASC 310-30 if there is a recorded impairment to such loans or loan pools and a specific allowance for loan losses. The decrease in construction and development secured by 1-4 family residential properties loan pools from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 was mostly caused by the sale of covered commercial loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The increase in allowance for commercial and other construction loan pools from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 was caused by the establishment of a specific reserve with respect to impaired commercial and other construction loan pools that was required based on the net present value of the cash flows expected to be collected.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes originated and other loans and acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as economic conditions, portfolio risk characteristics, prior loss experience, and the results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans classified as “pass” have a well-defined primary source of repayment very likely to be sufficient, with no apparent risk, strong financial position, minimal operating risk, profitability, liquidity and capitalization better than industry standards.

Special Mention: Loans classified as “special mention” have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as “substandard” are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans classified as “loss” are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

All loans individually measured for impairment are classified as substandard or TDR as of December 31, 2015.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of gross originated and other loans and BBVAPR acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 subject to risk rating by class of loans is as follows:

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had outstanding credit facilities of approximately $415.4 million and $619.0 million, respectively, granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities, included within portfolio of originated and other loans and acquired BBVAPR loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. A substantial portion of the Company’s credit exposure to Puerto Rico’s government consists of collateralized loans or obligations that have a specific source of income or revenues identified for their repayment. Approximately $204 million of these loans are general obligations of municipalities secured by ad valorem taxation, without limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the issuing municipalities. The good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of each issuing municipality are pledged for the payment of its general obligations.

In addition, some of these obligations consist of senior and subordinated loans to public corporations that obtain revenues from rates charged for services or products, such as the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”). The Commonwealth’s instrumentalities or public corporations have varying degrees of independence from the central government. Some instrumentalities or public corporations that provide essential or important government services, such as the University of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Medical Services Administration and the Puerto Rico Metropolitan Bus Authority, are supported by the Commonwealth through budget appropriations, while others, such as PREPA, are owed substantial amounts for utility services rendered to the Commonwealth.

At December 31, 2015, we had approximately $212.0 million of credit facilities to central government and public corporations of the Commonwealth, including:

  • PREPA with an outstanding balance of $190.3 million; and
  • The Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority with an outstanding balance of $21.0 million to be repaid from abandoned or unclaimed funds at financial institutions that revert to the government under a Puerto Rico escheat law.

The outstanding balance of credit facilities to public corporations decreased during 2015 as a result of a repayment in full of a $75 million loan by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority and a repayment in full of a $78 million loan by the State Insurance Fund Corporation.

Oriental Bank is part of a four bank syndicate providing a $550 million revolving line of credit to finance the purchase of fuel for PREPA’s day-to-day power generation activities. Our participation in the line of credit has an unpaid principal balance of $190.3 million as of December 31, 2015. As part of the bank syndicate, the Bank entered into a forbearance agreement with PREPA, which was extended several times during 2015 until the execution of a Restructuring Support Agreement on November 5, 2015 with PREPA and certain other creditors. The Restructuring Support Agreement provides for the restructuring of the fuel line of credit subject to the accomplishment of several milestones, including some milestones that depend on the actions of third parties to the agreement, such as the negotiation of agreements with other creditors and legislative action. The Company has classified the credit facility to PREPA as substandard and on non-accrual status. The Company conducted an impairment analysis considering the probability of collection of principal and interest, which included a financial model to project the future liquidity status of PREPA under various scenarios and its capacity to service its financial obligations, and concluded that PREPA had sufficient cash flows for the repayment of the line of credit. Despite the Company’s analysis showing PREPA’s capacity to repay the line of credit, the Company placed its participation in non-accrual and recorded a $24 million provision during the first quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an additional $29.3 million provision for loan and lease losses for PREPA as a result of the increased level of uncertainty as to the closing of the restructuring agreement, which is expected by the second half of 2016. Since April 1, 2015, interest payments have been applied to principal.

 

PREPA’s enabling act provides for local receivership upon request to any Puerto Rico court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a default in debt-service payments or other obligations in connection with PREPA’s bonds.  The receiver so appointed would be empowered, directly or through its agents and attorneys, to take possession of the undertakings, income and revenues pledged to the payment of the bonds in default; to have, hold, use, operate, manage and control the same; and to exercise all of PREPA’s rights and powers with respect to such undertakings.  However, any such receiver would not have the power to sell, assign, mortgage or otherwise dispose of PREPA’s assets, and its powers would be limited to the operation and maintenance of such undertakings and the collection and application of the income and revenues therefrom. Although the Puerto Rico government is actively seeking the right to bankruptcy relief for some of its public instrumentalities, including PREPA, both through an amendment to the federal bankruptcy code and the enactment of a local debt restructuring law, so far such efforts have thus far been unsuccessful.

For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the delinquency status of the loan. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of gross originated and other loans and acquired BBVAPR loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 not subject to risk rating by class of loans is as follows:
