Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including, without limitation, statements about Popular, Inc.’s (the “Corporation,” “Popular,” “we,” “us,” “our”) business,
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives and future performance. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance, are based on management’s current expectations and, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties, estimates and
assumptions. Potential factors, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation the effect
of competitive and economic factors, and our reaction to those factors, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, delinquency
trends, market risk and the impact of interest rate changes (including on our cost of deposits), capital markets conditions, capital
adequacy and liquidity, and the effect of legal and regulatory proceedings and new accounting standards on the Corporation’s
financial condition and results of operations. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-
looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions and future
or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” “may” or similar expressions are generally intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
Various factors, some of which are beyond Popular’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in,
or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
●
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;
●
consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect in turn, among other things, our level of non-performing
assets, charge-offs and provision expense;
●
originations, affect our ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets and
impact the value of our investment portfolio and our ability to return capital to our stockholders;
●
banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks;
●
Puerto Rico Government and the Federally-appointed oversight board on the economy, our customers and our
business;
●
difficult to predict and may be impacted by factors such as the amount of Federal funds received by the P.R.
Government and the rate of expenditure of such funds, as well as the financial condition, liquidity and cash
management practices of the Puerto Rico Government and its instrumentalities;
●
man-made disasters, acts of violence or war or pandemics, epidemics and other health-related crises, or the fear of any
such event occurring, any of which could cause adverse consequences for our business, including, but not limited to,
disruptions in our operations;
●
earnings, efficiencies and return on tangible common equity and accurately anticipate costs and expenses associated
therewith;
●
4
●
related requirements and the impact of other proposed capital standards on our capital ratios;
●
the impact of the current or any future U.S. government shutdown;
●
examination and enforcement priorities of the federal administration;
●
assessment implemented by the FDIC to recover the losses to the deposit insurance fund (“DIF”) resulting from the
receiverships of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank;
●
as acquisitions and dispositions;
●
Puerto Rico and the other markets in which our borrowers are located;
●
●
●
●
●
core financial transaction processing and information technology services, or of third parties providing services to us,
including as a result of cyberattacks, e-fraud, denial-of-services and computer intrusion, resulting in, among other
things, loss or breach of customer data, disruption of services, reputational damage or additional costs to Popular;
●
●
pending or future litigation and regulatory or government investigations or actions;
●
●
●
●
Moreover, the outcome of any 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, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”), as well as “Part II,
Item 1A” of our Quarterly Report on this Form 10-Q for a discussion of such factors and certain risks and uncertainties to which the
Corporation is subject.
All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are based upon information available to Popular as of the date of this
Form 10-Q, and other than as required by law, including the requirements of applicable securities laws, we assume no obligation to
update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date
of such statements.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The (unaudited) interim Consolidated Financial Statements are, in the opinion of management, a fair statement of the results for the
periods reported. The consolidated statement of financial condition presented as of December 31, 2024 was derived from audited
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Certain information and notes to the financial statements disclosures which would normally be included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), have been
condensed or omitted from the unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Form 10-K. Operating results for the
interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Amendments to SEC
Paragraphs Pursuant to
SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 122
The Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Accounting Standard
Update ("ASU") 2025-02 in March 2025,
which amends the guidance in Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") 450-10-
S99-1 by removing the interpretative
guidance of Section FF of Topic 5 in the
Staff Accounting Bulletin Series ("SAB") text
that addressed the accounting for
obligations to safeguard crypto-assets held
by platform users to align the ASC with the
latest SAB 112 directive, ensuring
consistency and clarity.
March 18, 2025
The Corporation was not impacted by
the adoption of this ASU since it does
not currently hold crypto-assets.

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

Compensation (Topic 718)
- Scope Application of
Profits Interest and Similar

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

The FASB issued ASU 2023-08 in
December 2023, which amends ASC
Subtopic 350-60 by requiring that crypto
assets are measured at fair value in the
statement of financial position each
reporting period with changes from
remeasurement being recognized in net
income. The ASU also requires enhanced
disclosures for both annual and interim
reporting periods to provide investors with
relevant information to analyze and assess
the exposure and risk of significant
individual crypto asset holdings.

The FASB issued ASU 2025-07 in
September 2025, which refines the scope of
derivative accounting under ASC Topic 815
and clarifies the treatment of share-based
noncash consideration under ASC Topic
606. The update excludes certain non-
exchange traded contracts with underlyings
based on the operations of one of the
parties from derivative accounting, aiming to
better reflect the nature of these
arrangements and reduce complexity. It
also confirms that share-based noncash
consideration from a customer should be
accounted for under ASC Topic 606 until
the right to receive or retain such non-cash
consideration becomes unconditional,
promoting consistency in revenue
recognition practices.

the accounting for internal-use software
under ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles—
Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software.
The update replaces the traditional stage-
based model (preliminary, development,
post-implementation) with a principles-
based framework that better reflects current
software development practices, including
agile and cloud-based approaches.
January 1, 2028
The Corporation is currently evaluating
the impact that the adoption of this

for internal use software considering
our development practices which may
include agile and cloud based

This practical expedient establishes that, in
developing reasonable and supportable

not change for the remaining life of the

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.
Securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage
obligations, are classified based on 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.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation did not intend to sell and did not believe that it was more likely than not that it would be

Debt securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period
of final contractual maturity. The expected maturities of collateralized mortgage obligations and certain other securities may differ
from their contractual maturities because they may be subject to prepayments or may be called by the issuer.
Credit Quality Indicators
The following describes the credit quality indicators by major security type that the Corporation considers to develop the estimate of
the allowance for credit losses for investment securities held-to-maturity.
As discussed in Note 2 of the 2024 Form 10-K, U.S. Treasury securities carry an explicit guarantee from the U.S. Government are
highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Accordingly, the Corporation applies a zero-credit
loss assumption and no allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) for these securities has been established.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions” classified as
held-to-maturity, included securities issued by municipalities of Puerto Rico that are generally not rated by a credit rating agency.
The Corporation performs periodic credit quality reviews of these securities and internally assigns standardized credit risk ratings
based on its evaluation. For the definitions of the obligor risk ratings, refer to the Credit Quality section of Note 8 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. This includes $
Rico, of which $
municipality (compared to $
At September 30, 2025, the portfolio of “Obligations of Puerto Rico, States and political subdivisions” also included $
securities issued by the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (“HFA”), a government instrumentality, for which the underlying
source of payment is second mortgage loans in Puerto Rico residential properties (not the government), but for which HFA, provides
a guarantee in the event of default and upon the satisfaction of certain other conditions (December 31, 2024 - $
26
securities are not rated by a credit rating agency. Refer to Note 18
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional
information on the Corporation’s exposure to the Puerto Rico Government
The Corporation assesses the credit risk associated with these securities by evaluating the refreshed FICO scores of a
representative sample of the underlying borrowers. As of September 30, 2025, the average refreshed FICO score for the sample,
comprised of
% of the nominal value of the securities, used for the loss estimate was of
% and
,
respectively, at December 31, 2024). The loss estimates for this portfolio was based on the methodology established under CECL
for similar loan obligations. The Corporation does not consider the government guarantee when estimating the credit losses
associated with this portfolio.
A
deterioration of the Puerto Rico economy or of the fiscal health of the Government of Puerto Rico and/or its instrumentalities
(including if any of the issuing municipalities become subject to a debt restructuring proceeding under the Puerto Rico Oversight
Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) could adversely affect the value of these securities, resulting in losses to the
Corporation.

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

Note 8 – Allowance for credit losses – loans held-in-portfolio
The
Corporation follows the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to establish and evaluate the adequacy of the ACL to
provide for expected losses in the loan portfolio. This model establishes a forward-looking methodology that reflects the expected
credit losses over the lives of financial assets starting when such assets are first acquired or originated. In addition, CECL provides
that the initial ACL on PCD financial assets be recorded as an increase to the purchase price, with subsequent changes to the
allowance recorded as a credit loss expense. The provision for credit losses recorded in current operations is based on this
methodology. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the ACL. The Corporation’s modeling framework includes
competing risk models that generate lifetime default and prepayment estimates as well as other loan level techniques to estimate
loss severity. These models combine credit risk factors which include the impact of loan modifications, with macroeconomic
expectations to derive the lifetime expected loss.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation estimated the ACL by weighting the outputs of optimistic, baseline, and pessimistic
scenarios. The weightings applied are subject to evaluation on a quarterly basis as part of the ACL’s governance process. During
the first quarter of 2025, the Corporation assigned equal probability weights to the baseline and pessimistic scenarios in response to
economic uncertainty, the optimistic scenario being the lowest of probabilities. During the second quarter of 2025, the Corporation
moderately reduced the probability weight for the pessimistic scenario based on changes in the economic outlook and a
reassessment of uncertainty compared to the first quarter. The net impact of these two changes in the assigned weights on the ACL
levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $
probability weights during the third quarter of 2025. The probability weight for the pessimistic scenario remains above the levels
observed in 2024, given the ongoing economic uncertainty.
The following tables present the changes in the ACL of loans held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments for the quarters and nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The following tables present, by class, the performance of loans that have been modified during the twelve months preceding
September 30, 2025. The past due 90 days or more categories include all loans modified classified as non-accruing at the time of
the modification. These loans will continue in non-accrual status, and presented as past due 90 days or more, until the borrower has
demonstrated a willingness and ability to make the restructured loan payments (at least six months of sustained performance after
the modification or one year for loans providing for quarterly or semi-annual payments) and management has concluded that it is
probable that the borrower would not be in payment default in the foreseeable future.

charged-off, whichever occurs first. The recorded investment as of period end is inclusive of all partial paydowns and charge-offs since the modification
date. Loans modified with financial difficulty that were fully paid down, charged-off or foreclosed upon by period end are not reported.

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

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

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, debt securities held-to-maturity, and 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.

Note 17 – Guarantees
The Corporation has obligations upon the occurrence of certain events under financial guarantees provided in certain contractual
agreements. Also, from time to time, the Corporation securitized mortgage loans into guaranteed mortgage-backed securities
subject, in certain instances, to lifetime credit recourse on the loans that serve as collateral for the mortgage-backed securities. The
Corporation has not sold any mortgage loans subject to credit recourse since 2009. Also, from time to time, the Corporation may
sell, in bulk sale transactions, residential mortgage loans and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) commercial loans subject to
credit recourse or to certain representations and warranties from the Corporation to the purchaser. These representations and
warranties may relate, for example, to borrower creditworthiness, loan documentation, collateral, prepayment and early payment
defaults. The Corporation may be required to repurchase the loans under the credit recourse agreements or representation and
warranties
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation serviced $
subject to credit recourse provisions, principally loans associated with FNMA and FHLMC residential mortgage loan securitization
programs. In the event of any customer default, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, the Corporation is required to repurchase
the loan or reimburse the third-party investor for the loss incurred. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025,
the Corporation repurchased $

From time to time, the Corporation sells loans and agrees to indemnify the purchaser for credit losses or any breach of certain
representations and warranties made in connection with the sale.
Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed securities programs of FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA, and to mortgage loans
sold or serviced to certain other investors, including FHLMC, require the Corporation to advance funds to make scheduled payments
of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. At September 30, 2025, the
Corporation serviced $

from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage loan is foreclosed or, in the case of FHA/VA loans, under the applicable FHA and
VA
insurance and guarantees programs. However, in the meantime, the Corporation must absorb the cost of the funds it advances
during the time the advance is outstanding. The Corporation must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and
defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the
foreclosure proceedings and the Corporation would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At September
30, 2025, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Corporation under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was $
million (December 31, 2024 - $

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:

for potential losses associated with unfunded loan commitments related to commercial and construction lines of credit.
Other commitments
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Corporation also maintained other non-credit commitments for $
primarily for the acquisition of other investments.
Business concentration
Since the Corporation’s business activities are concentrated primarily in Puerto Rico, its results of operations and financial condition
are dependent upon the general trends of the Puerto Rico economy and, in particular, the residential and commercial real estate
markets. The concentration of the Corporation’s operations in Puerto Rico exposes it to greater risk than other banking companies
with a wider geographic base. Its asset and revenue composition by geographical area is presented in Note 28 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Puerto Rico has faced significant fiscal and economic challenges for over a decade. In response to such challenges, the U.S.
Congress enacted PROMESA in 2016, which, among other things, established the Oversight Board and a framework for the
restructuring of the debts of the Commonwealth, its instrumentalities and municipalities. The Commonwealth and several of its
instrumentalities have availed themselves of debt restructuring proceedings under PROMESA. As of the date of this report, while
municipalities have been designated as covered entities under PROMESA, no municipality has commenced or has been authorized
by the Oversight Board to commence, any such debt restructuring proceeding under PROMESA.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s direct exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities
totaled $
Corporation’s exposure at September 30, 2025, included up to $
settlement exposure, none of which was outstanding. Of the amount outstanding, $
securities ($
and December 31, 2024 were obligations from various Puerto Rico municipalities. In most cases, these were “general obligations” of
a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged its good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power, or “special
obligations” of a municipality, to which the applicable municipality has pledged other revenues. At September 30, 2025,
93
approximately
% of the Corporation’s exposure to municipal loans and securities was concentrated in the municipalities of San
Juan, Guaynabo, Carolina and Caguas.

In addition, at September 30, 2025, the Corporation had $

These included $
governmental instrumentality that has been designated as a covered entity under PROMESA (December 31, 2024 - $
These mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on Puerto Rico residential properties and the HFA insurance covers losses in
the event of a borrower default and upon the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The Corporation also had at September 30,
2025, $
for which HFA also provides insurance to cover losses in the event of a borrower default and upon the satisfaction of certain other
conditions (December 31, 2024 - $
directly or those serving as collateral for the HFA bonds default and the collateral is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance of
these loans, HFA’s ability to honor its insurance will depend, among other factors, on the financial condition of HFA at the time such
obligations become due and payable. The Corporation does not consider the government guarantee when estimating the credit
losses associated with this portfolio. Although the Governor is currently authorized by local legislation to impose a temporary
moratorium on the financial obligations of the HFA, a moratorium on such obligations has not been imposed as of the date hereof.
BPPR’s commercial loan portfolio also includes loans to private borrowers who are service providers, lessors, suppliers or have
other relationships with the government. These borrowers could be negatively affected by the Commonwealth’s fiscal crisis and the
ongoing Title III proceedings under PROMESA. Similarly, BPPR’s mortgage and consumer loan portfolios include loans to
government employees and retirees, which could also be negatively affected by fiscal measures such as employee layoffs or
furloughs or reductions in pension benefits.
In addition, $
Government or its agencies at September 30, 2025 (compared to $
2024). The Corporation also had U.S. Treasury and obligations from the U.S. Government, its agencies or government sponsored
entities within the portfolio of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities as described in Note 5 and 6 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation had operations in the United States Virgin Islands (the “USVI”) and had $
exposure to USVI government entities (December 31, 2024 - $
economic challenges that could adversely affect the ability of its public corporations and instrumentalities to service their outstanding
debt obligations. PROMESA does not apply to the USVI and, as such, there is currently no federal legislation permitting the
restructuring of the debts of the USVI and its public corporations and instrumentalities.

At September 30, 2025, the Corporation had operations in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and it had a loan portfolio amounting to
$
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation had
FDIC Special Assessment
On November 16, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) imposed a special assessment (the “FDIC Special
Assessment”) amount to recover the losses to the deposit insurance fund resulting from the FDIC’s funds used, in March 2023, in
connection with the systemic risk exception, to the least-cost resolution test, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to manage the
receiverships of several failed banks. In connection with this assessment, the Corporation accrued $
tax, in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing the full amount of the assessment.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Corporation recorded an additional expense of $
FDIC's higher loss estimate communicated by the FDIC. The special assessment amount and collection period may change as the
estimated loss is periodically adjusted or if the total amount collected varies. The last payment for the FDIC special assessment is
projected to be in the third quarter, September 2026.
Legal Proceedings
The nature of Popular’s business ordinarily generates claims, litigation, arbitration, regulatory and governmental investigations, and
legal and administrative cases and proceedings (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). Popular’s Legal Proceedings may involve
various lines of business and include claims relating to contract, torts, consumer protection, securities, antitrust, employment, tax
and other laws. The recovery sought in Legal Proceedings may include substantial or indeterminate compensatory damages,
punitive damages, injunctive relief, or recovery on a class-wide basis. When the Corporation determines that it has meritorious
defenses to the claims asserted, it vigorously defends itself. The Corporation will consider the settlement of cases (including cases
where it has meritorious defenses) when, in management’s judgment, it is in the best interest of the Corporation and its stockholders
to do so. On at least a quarterly basis, Popular assesses its liabilities and contingencies relating to outstanding Legal Proceedings
utilizing the most current information available. For matters where it is probable that the Corporation will incur a material loss and the
amount can be reasonably estimated, the Corporation establishes an accrual for the loss. Once established, the accrual is adjusted
on at least a quarterly basis to reflect any relevant developments, as appropriate. For matters where a material loss is not probable,
or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual is established.
In certain cases, exposure to loss exists in excess of any accrual to the extent such loss is reasonably possible, but not probable.
Management believes and estimates that the range of reasonably possible losses (with respect to those matters where such limits
may be determined in excess of amounts accrued) for current Legal Proceedings ranged from $
September 30, 2025. In certain cases, management cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss at this time. Any estimate
involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the Legal Proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently
in preliminary stages), the existence of multiple defendants in several of the current Legal Proceedings whose share of liability has
yet to be determined, the numerous unresolved issues in many of the Legal Proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty of the various
potential outcomes of such Legal Proceedings. Accordingly, management’s estimate will change from time-to-time, and actual
losses may be more or less than the current estimate.
While the outcome of Legal Proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, and
available insurance coverage, management believes that the amount it has already accrued is adequate and any incremental
liability arising from the Legal Proceedings in matters in which a loss amount can be reasonably estimated will not have a material
adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is
possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters in a reporting period, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on
the Corporation’s consolidated financial position for that period.

Note 19 – Non-consolidated variable interest entities
The Corporation is involved with
deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) since the equity investors at risk have no substantial decision-making rights. The
Corporation does not hold any variable interest in the trusts, and therefore, cannot be the trusts’ primary beneficiary. Furthermore,
the Corporation concluded that it did not hold a controlling financial interest in these trusts since the decisions of the trusts are
predetermined through the trust documents and the guarantee of the trust preferred securities is irrelevant since in substance the
sponsor is guaranteeing its own debt.
Also, the Corporation is involved with various special purpose entities mainly in guaranteed mortgage securitization transactions,
including GNMA and FNMA.
The Corporation has also engaged in securitization transactions with FHLMC, but considers its
exposure in the form of servicing fees and servicing advances not to be significant
at September 30, 2025
.
These special purpose
entities are deemed to be VIEs since they lack equity investments at risk. The Corporation’s continuing involvement in these
guaranteed loan securitizations includes owning certain beneficial interests in the form of securities as well as the servicing rights
retained. The Corporation is not required to provide additional financial support to any of the variable interest entities to which it has
transferred the financial assets. The mortgage-backed securities, to the extent retained, are classified in the Corporation’s
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as available-for-sale or trading securities. The Corporation concluded that,
essentially, these entities (FNMA and GNMA) control the design of their respective VIEs, dictate the quality and nature of the
collateral, require the underlying insurance, set the servicing standards via the servicing guides and can change them at will, and
can remove a primary servicer with cause, and without cause in the case of FNMA. Moreover, through their guarantee obligations,
agencies (FNMA and GNMA) have the obligation to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
The Corporation holds variable interests in these VIEs in the form of agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations, including those securities originated by the Corporation and those acquired from third parties. Additionally, the
Corporation holds agency mortgage-backed securities and agency collateralized mortgage obligations issued by third party VIEs in
which it has no other form of continuing involvement. Refer to Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information on the debt securities outstanding at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are classified as available-for-
sale and trading securities in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. In addition, the Corporation holds
variable interests in the form of servicing fees, since it retains the right to service the transferred loans in those government-
sponsored special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and may also purchase the right to service loans in other government-sponsored SPEs
that were transferred to those SPEs by a third-party.
The following table presents the carrying amount and classification of the assets related to the Corporation’s variable interests in
non-consolidated VIEs and the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Corporation’s involvement as servicer of GNMA and
FNMA loans at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The size of the non-consolidated VIEs, in which the Corporation has a variable interest in the form of servicing fees, measured as

The Corporation determined that the maximum exposure to loss includes the fair value of the MSRs and the assumption that the
servicing advances at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, will not be recovered. The agency debt securities are not
included as part of the maximum exposure to loss since they are guaranteed by the related agencies.
ASU 2009-17 requires that an ongoing primary beneficiary assessment should be made to determine whether the Corporation is the
primary beneficiary of any of the VIEs it is involved with. The conclusion on the assessment of these non-consolidated VIEs has not
changed since their initial evaluation. The Corporation concluded that it is still not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and
therefore, these VIEs are not required to be consolidated in the Corporation’s financial statements at September 30, 2025.

Note 21 – Fair value measurement
ASC Subtopic 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels in order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value
measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
●
Level 1
- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to
access at the measurement date. Valuation on these instruments does not necessitate a significant degree of judgment since
valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily available in an active market.
●
Level 2
- Quoted prices other than those included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs
include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
●
Level 3
- Inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s
own judgements about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the
observable inputs be used when available. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices when available. If listed prices or quotes
are not available, the Corporation employs internally-developed models that primarily use market-based inputs including yield
curves, interest rates, volatilities, and credit curves, among others. Valuation adjustments are limited to those necessary to ensure
that the financial instrument’s fair value is adequately representative of the price that would be received or paid in the marketplace.
These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, the Corporation’s credit standing, constraints on liquidity
and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently. There have been no changes in the Corporation’s methodologies used
to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities from those disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.
The estimated fair value may be subjective in nature and may involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment for certain
financial instruments. Changes in the underlying assumptions used in calculating fair value could significantly affect the results.

Note 22 – Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which an asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. For those financial instruments with no quoted market prices
available, fair values have been estimated using present value calculations or other valuation techniques, as well as management’s
best judgment with respect to current economic conditions, including discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, and prepayment
assumptions. Many of these estimates involve various assumptions and may vary significantly from amounts that could be realized
in actual transactions.
The fair values reflected herein have been determined based on the prevailing rate environment at September 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, as applicable. In different interest rate environments, fair value estimates can differ significantly, especially for
certain fixed rate financial instruments. In addition, the fair values presented do not attempt to estimate the value of the
Corporation’s fee generating businesses and anticipated future business activities, that is, they do not represent the Corporation’s
value as a going concern. There have been no changes in the Corporation’s valuation methodologies and inputs used to estimate
the fair values for each class of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value.
The following tables present the carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments with their corresponding level in
the fair value hierarchy. The aggregate fair value amounts of the financial instruments disclosed do not represent management’s
estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.

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

Note 25 - Stock-based compensation
Incentive Plan
On May 12, 2020, the stockholders of the Corporation approved the Popular, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which permits the
Corporation to issue several types of stock-based compensation to employees and directors of the Corporation and/or any of its
subsidiaries (the “2020 Incentive Plan”). The 2020 Incentive Plan replaced the Popular, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which
was in effect prior to the adoption of the 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2004 Incentive Plan” and, together with the 2020 Incentive Plan,
the “Incentive Plan”). Participants under the Incentive Plan are designated by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (or its delegate, as determined by the Board). Under the Incentive Plan, the Corporation has issued restricted stock and
performance shares to its employees and restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its directors.
The restricted stock granted under the Incentive Plan to employees becomes vested based on the employees’ continued service
with Popular.
The performance share awards granted under the Incentive Plan consist of the opportunity to receive shares of Popular, Inc.’s
common stock provided that the Corporation achieves certain goals during a three-year performance cycle. The goals will be based
on two metrics weighted equally: the Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and the Absolute Return on Average Tangible
Common Equity (“ROATCE”). The TSR metric is a market condition under ASC 718. For equity settled awards based on market
conditions, the fair value is determined as of the grant date and is not subsequently revised based on actual performance. The
ROATCE metric is a performance condition under ASC 718. The fair value is determined based on the probability of achieving the
ROATCE goal as of each reporting period. The TSR and ROATCE metrics are equally weighted and work independently.
The following table summarizes the restricted stock and performance shares activity under the Incentive Plan for members of
management.

in either common stock or RSUs, at each Director’s election. If RSUs are elected, the Directors may defer the delivery of the shares
of common stock underlying the RSUs award until their retirement. To the extent that cash dividends are paid on the Corporation’s
outstanding common stock, the Directors will receive an additional number of RSUs that reflect a reinvested dividend equivalent.

Financial Condition as $

deferred tax assets or liabilities of individual tax-paying subsidiaries of the Corporation in their respective tax jurisdiction, Puerto
Rico or the United States.
At September 30, 2025, the net deferred tax assets of the U.S. operations amounted to $
$
basis the realization of the deferred tax asset by taxing jurisdiction. The U. S. operations sustained profitability for the last three
years. These historical financial results are objectively verifiable positive evidence, evaluated together with the positive evidence of
stable credit metrics. On the other hand, the Corporation evaluated the negative evidence accumulated over the years, including
financial results lower than expectations and challenges to the economy due to inflationary pressures that could stem from U. S.
tariff policies and global geopolitical challenges, in addition to the economic effect of cuts in federal government spending and the
length of the federal budget impasse that could negatively impact U. S. operations’ achieving expected pre-tax income levels in the
near future. As of September 30, 2025, after weighting all positive and negative evidence, the Corporation concluded that it is more
likely than not that $
be realized. The Corporation based this determination on its estimated earnings available to realize the deferred tax assets for the
remaining carryforward period, together with the historical level of book income adjusted by permanent differences. Management
will continue to monitor and review the U.S. operation’s results, including recent earnings trends, the pre-tax earnings forecast, any
new tax initiative, and other factors, including net income versus forecast, targeted loan growth, net interest income margin, changes
in deposit costs, allowance for credit losses, charge offs, non-performing loans held-in-portfolio (“NPLs”) inflows and non-performing
asset (“NPA”) balances. Significant changes in these factors or sustainable continuance of financial improvement could impact the
future realization of the deferred tax assets.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s net deferred tax assets related to its Puerto Rico operations amounted to $
The Corporation’s Puerto Rico Banking operation has a historical record of profitability. This is considered a strong piece of
objectively verifiable positive evidence that outweighs any negative evidence considered by Management in the evaluation of the
realization of the deferred tax assets. Based on this evidence and management’s estimate of future taxable income, the
Corporation has concluded that it is more likely than not that such net deferred tax assets of the Puerto Rico Banking operations will
be realized.
The Holding Company operation has been in a cumulative loss position in recent years. Management expects these losses will be a
trend in future years. This objectively verifiable negative evidence is considered by Management strong negative evidence that
suggests that income in future years will be insufficient to support the realization of all deferred tax assets. After weighting of all
positive and negative evidence Management concluded, as of the reporting date, that it is more likely than not that the Holding
Company will not be able to realize any portion of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Corporation has maintained a valuation
allowance on the deferred tax assets of $

Operations.
After consideration of the effect on U.S. federal tax of unrecognized U.S. state tax benefits, the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits that if recognized, would affect the Corporation’s effective tax rate, was $
2024 - $
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for
current tax year positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to the statutes of limitation, changes in Management’s
judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examinations, litigation and legislative activity and the addition or elimination of
uncertain tax positions. The Corporation does not anticipate a reduction in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the
next 12 months.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Puerto Rico, the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and
political subdivisions, and foreign jurisdictions. At September 30, 2025, the following years remain subject to examination in the U.S.

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

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report includes management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the consolidated financial 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, commercial banking services and auto
and equipment leasing and financing through its principal banking subsidiary, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”), as well as
broker-dealer and insurance services through specialized subsidiaries. In the U.S. mainland, the Corporation provides retail and
commercial banking services, as well as equipment leasing and financing, through its New York-chartered banking subsidiary,
Popular Bank (“PB” or “Popular U.S.”), which has branches located in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Note 28 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements presents information about the Corporation’s business segments.
As a financial services company, the Corporation’s earnings are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions
in the markets which we serve. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by the level of business
spending and investment, consumer income, spending and savings, capital market activities, competition, customer preferences,
interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates on competing products.
The Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal and local laws
and regulations. Also, competition with other financial institutions, as well as with non-traditional financial service providers and
technology companies that provide electronic and internet-based financial solutions and services, could adversely affect its
profitability.
The Corporation continuously monitors general business and economic conditions, industry-related indicators and trends,
competition, interest rate volatility, credit quality indicators, loan, and deposit demand, operational and systems efficiencies, revenue
enhancements and changes in the regulation of financial services companies.
The description of the Corporation’s business contained in Item 1 of the 2024 Form 10-K, while not all inclusive, discusses additional
information about the business of the Corporation. Readers should also refer to “Part I - Item 1A” of the 2024 Form 10-K and “Part II
- Item 1A” of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain risks and uncertainties to which the Corporation is subject, many beyond the
Corporation’s control that, in addition to the other information in this Form 10-Q, readers should consider.

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

Refer to Table 10 for reconciliation to GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 10-Q contains financial information prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.
128
GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures when it is determined that these
measures provide meaningful information about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations. Non-GAAP
financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies.
Adjusted net income - Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management monitors whether the impact of certain non-
recurring or infrequent transactions need to be excluded from the results of operations to present what is then considered to be
“adjusted net income” of the Corporation. Management believes that the “adjusted net income” provides meaningful information
about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations. The “adjusted net income” is a non-GAAP financial
measure.
The following table presents the adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There were no non-GAAP
adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis – Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, is presented with its different components in Table s 3 and 4 for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with the same period in 2024, segregated by major categories of interest
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The main sources of tax-exempt interest income are certain loans and investments in obligations of the U.S. Government, its
agencies and sponsored entities, and certain obligations of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its agencies and assets held by
the Corporation’s international banking entities. On tables 3 and 4, the interest income has been converted to a taxable equivalent
basis, using the applicable statutory income tax rates for each period net of interest expense that the Puerto Rico tax law requires to
be disallowed, based on an equal proportion of tax-exempt assets to total assets, and by an allocation of general and administrative
expenses attributable to exempt income, reducing the benefit of the tax-exempt income. The effective yield, on a taxable equivalent
basis, will vary depending on the level of these expenses that are attributable to the available exempt income. Under Puerto Rico
tax law, the exempt interest can be deducted up to the amount of taxable income. Management believes that this presentation
provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison of revenues arising from taxable and exempt sources.
Tangible Common Equity and Tangible Assets
Tangible common equity, tangible common equity ratio, tangible assets and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP
financial measures. Tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share should be used in conjunction with
more traditional bank capital ratios commonly used by banks and analysts to compare the capital adequacy of banking
organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase
accounting method for mergers and acquisitions. Tangible common equity, tangible assets and other related measures should not
be used in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders' equity, total assets or any other measure calculated in accordance with
GAAP. Moreover, the way the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and other related measures may
differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Table 10 provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets as of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES / ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform to U.S. GAAP and general practices
within the financial services industry. Various elements of the Corporation’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently
subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments.
Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting estimates with the Corporation’s Audit
Committee. The Corporation has identified as critical accounting estimates those related to: (i) Fair Value Measurement of Financial
Instruments; (ii) Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses; (iii) Income Taxes; (iv) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; and (v)
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations. For a summary of these critical accounting estimates, refer to the MD&A included
in the 2024 Form 10-K. Also, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 Form 10-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.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income (“NII”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $646.5 million an increase of $74.0 million, compared to
the same quarter in 2024. The increase in net interest income was supported by lower cost of deposits, mainly P.R. public deposits,
higher income from investments in U.S. Treasury securities at higher yields, and from loan growth. Net interest income on a taxable
equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2025 was $720.8 million, an increase of $107.9 million.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the quarter was 3.51%, an increase of 27 basis points when compared to the third quarter of 2024.
On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 3.90%, an increase of 43 basis points when
compared to the third quarter of 2024, driven by higher level of tax-exempt securities and loans. NIM expansion, when compared to
the same quarter of the previous year, was mainly attributable to lower deposit costs driven as a result of the repricing of high-cost
deposits that are market-linked, mainly those of P.R. public deposits, and higher yields on U.S. Treasury securities. Total cost of
deposits decreased 37 basis points to 1.79%.
On a taxable equivalent basis, the main drivers of the increase for the third quarter of 2025 were:
●
from U.S. Treasury securities by $49.3 million or 57 basis points, due to higher re-investment activity at higher yields
partially offset by lower income from money market securities by $29.2 million as a result of the deployment of funds to
loan growth and the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities. During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation purchased
approximately $2.5 billion of U.S. Treasury notes with an average duration of 1.4 years and a yield of approximately
3.65%, through a combination of approximately $1.0 billion in maturing U.S. Treasuries and a reduction of approximately
$1.5 billion in overnight Fed funds;
●
mortgage portfolios, including certain tax-exempt loans in BPPR, partially offset by lower yields by 7 basis points, mainly
from adjustable rate commercial and construction portfolios due to short-term market rates decline; and
●
cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 52 basis points, mainly due to the repricing of market-linked P.R. public
deposits which decreased by 105 basis points to 3.19%, and a decrease in the cost of deposits in Popular U.S.,
particularly in time deposits and those captured through online channels.

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

Provision for Credit Losses - Loans Held-in-Portfolio and Unfunded Commitments
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses of $75.1 million, an increase of
$3.7 million when compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The provision for loan and lease losses was $74.5 million, an
increase of $1.7 million, and the provision for unfunded commitments was $0.8 million, an unfavorable variance of $1.3 million,
mainly driven by higher unfunded commitments at the BPPR segment. The provision release for HTM was $0.2 million, an increase
of $0.6 million when compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
As discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation estimates the ACL by weighting the outputs of
optimistic, baseline, and pessimistic scenarios. During the first quarter of 2025, in response to the economic uncertainty, the
Corporation increased the probability assigned to the pessimistic scenario making it equal to the baseline scenario. Subsequently, in
the second quarter of 2025, the probability assigned to the pessimistic scenario was moderately reduced based on the changes in
the economic outlook and a reassessment of uncertainty compared to the previous quarter. The net impact of these two events on
the ACL levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $13.7 million in additional reserves. There were no changes to
the probability weights during the third quarter of 2025. The probability weight for the pessimistic scenario remains above the levels
observed in 2024, given the ongoing economic uncertainty.
The major drivers of the changes in the provision for loan losses during the quarter by business segment when compared to the
same quarter in 2024, were as follows:
●
same quarter in 2024, driven by lower reserves for the consumer portfolio of $30.6 million, mainly in auto loans and credit
cards, due to improvements in credit quality and lower net charge-offs. The favorable variance was partially offset by
higher reserves in the commercial portfolio by $21.7 million due to a specific reserve recognized for a $158.3 million
commercial and industrial facility and a $13.5 million charge-off recognized during the quarter for a $30.1 million
commercial real estate facility, both classified as NPLs during the quarter.
●
to the same quarter in 2024, mainly driven higher qualitative reserves for the commercial real estate portfolios, partially
offset by lower net charge-offs mainly in consumer portfolios.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses amounted to $188.1 million, a decrease of $2.7
million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for the loan portfolio was $189.3 million, flat when
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision release related to unfunded commitments was $1.6 million,
a decrease of $3.0 million, mainly driven by the reduction in unfunded commitments within the U.S. construction portfolio. The
provision for HTM was $0.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million when compared to the same period of the previous year. The major
drivers of the provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, by business segment when compared to
the same period in 2024, were as follows:
●
decrease of $18.3 million when compared to the same period in 2024, driven by improvement in credit quality in the
consumer portfolio, mainly in credit cards, and the stable performance of the lease portfolio for which a qualitative reserve
was established in 2024, partially offset by an increase in provisions for the mortgage portfolio, driven by lower recoveries
and changes in macroeconomic forecasts and credit quality.
●
changes in credit quality within the commercial portfolio, partially offset by lower net charge-offs within the consumer
portfolios.
At September 30, 2025, the total allowance for credit losses for loans held-in-portfolio amounted to $786.2 million, compared to
$746.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 2.03% at
September 30, 2025, compared to 2.01% at December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on the Corporation’s methodology to estimate its ACL. Refer to the Credit Risk section of this MD&A for a
detailed analysis of net charge-offs, non-performing assets, the allowance for credit losses and selected loan losses statistics.
Non-Interest Income
135
Non-interest income amounted to $171.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $7.1 million when compared with the
same quarter for the previous year. This variance was primarily due to:
●
plans, which have an offsetting effect on personnel cost;
●
higher volume of costumer transactions, and higher investment management fees by $1.1 million, driven by a higher
assets under management, partially offset by lower insurance fees by $2.4 million; and
●
a tenant for energy supplied in prior years and higher income from investments accounted under the equity method by
$4.1 million, partially offset by lower daily car rental revenue by $5.0 million and gains from the sale of car rental units by
$1.4 million, associated with the car rental business sold in the fourth quarter of 2024;
Non-interest income amounted to $491.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.5 million when
compared to the same period of the previous year. The main factors that contributed to the variance were:
●
the sale of car rental units by $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 associated with the car
rental business sold in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by income of $5.3 million related to a retroactive charge
billed to a tenant for energy supplied in prior years and $3.3 million of income related to the reimbursement of excess
interest paid to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for late payment penalties related to tax withholdings on
intercompany distributions for the years 2014-2024 as disclosed in 2024; and
●
runoff;
partially offset by:
●
volume of transactions, higher investment management fees by $3.8 million, due to higher assets under management,
and higher merchant membership fees by $1.2 million, partially offset by lower insurance fees by $6.5 million;
●
commercial deposits; and
●
136
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses amounted to $495.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $28.0 million when
compared with the same quarter of 2024. The variance in operating expenses was mainly driven by:
●
which is tied to the Corporation’s financial performance and $9.0 million in other performance-based incentives, higher salaries
expense by $3.4 million, due to a higher headcount and annual merit increases, and a $3.4 million increase in other personnel
costs mainly related to the valuation of securities held for deferred compensation plans, higher payroll taxes, and employee
termination benefits resulting from ongoing efforts to improve our profitability, including the decision to exit the U.S. residential
mortgage origination business and close four underperforming branches in the New York metro area at Popular U.S.;
●
earnings for the forecasted period; and
●
expense as a result of higher transactional volumes;
partially offset by:
●
reserve established during the second quarter of 2025 and lower accruals for reserves for operational losses by $4.1 million
mainly related to the mortgage servicing business; and
●
the car rental business sold in 2024.
Operating expenses amounted to $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $39.1 million when
compared with the same period of 2024. Excluding the $6.4 million interest accrued related to prior period tax withholdings and the
$14.3 million impact of the FDIC Special Assessment recorded in 2024, total operating expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2025, increased by $59.7 million, when compared with the same period of 2024. The main drivers of the increase
were:
●
which is tied to the Corporation’s financial performance and $18.3 million in other performance-based incentives, higher
salaries expenses by $9.1 million due to a higher headcount and annual merit increases and a $5.7 million increase in other
personnel costs mainly related to the valuation of securities held for deferred compensation plans and higher payroll taxes;
●
●
Puerto Rico;
●
Corporation’s cloud infrastructure, among other continuing investments in technology and transformation initiatives;
●
merchant processing expenses as a result of higher transactional volumes; and
●
card business;
partially offset by:
137
●
million and lower pension plan cost by $3.3 million due to changes in actuarial assumptions;
●
●
sold as part of the daily car rental transaction during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income Taxes
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $36.0 million and
$128.9 million, respectively, with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 14.5% and 17.7%, respectively, compared to $42.5 million and
$138.5 million, respectively, with an ETR of 21.5% and 24.1% for the respective periods of year 2024.
The lower income tax expense of $6.5 million for the third quarter, when compared to the same quarter of 2024, is mainly attributed
to the higher net exempt income. For the nine-months period ended September 30, 2025, the lower income tax expense of $9.6
million reflects the impact of the tax withholding expense of $22.9 million recorded during the first quarter of year 2024, in
connection with intercompany distributions for years 2014-2024, as disclosed in Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
the 2024 Form 10-K, and the benefit of $5.2 million related to the FDIC Special Assessment expense; excluding this combined
impact, the adjusted increase of $8.1 million was due to higher income before tax, net of higher exempt income.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset amounting to $835.5 million, net of a valuation allowance of
$465.0 million. The net deferred tax asset related to the U.S. operations was $238.5 million, net of a valuation allowance of $386.9
million.
Upon an amendment to the Puerto Rico internal revenue code during the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation elected to treat
certain single members LLCs as disregarded entities, as allowed by this amendment, on its 2024 corporate income tax return filed
subsequent to the quarter end in October. It is expected that this election will lower our income tax expense by approximately $7.7
million during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Refer to Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective tax
rate and additional information on the income tax expense and deferred tax asset balances.
REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS
The Corporation’s reportable segments for managerial reporting purposes consist of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Popular
U.S. A Corporate group has also been defined to support the reportable segments.
139
For a description of the Corporation’s reportable segments, including additional financial information and the underlying
management accounting process, refer to Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The corporate group reported a net income of $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with a net income
of $0.5 million for the same quarter of the previous year, mainly due to higher income from equity method investments. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025, the corporate group reported net income of $4.3 million, compared to a net loss of $21.1 million
for the same period of the previous year. The loss in 2024 was mainly attributable to the expense related to the $22.9 million
adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2024 to recognize the tax impact associated with prior period intercompany distributions
and the additional $6.5 million expense for the tax impact of intercompany distributions paid during the first quarter of 2024. A
positive adjustment of $3.9 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2025, resulting from reimbursements received from
the IRS related to interest paid for these intercompany distributions. There were no intercompany distributions between the U.S.
subsidiaries and the bank holding companies during 2025. Higher income from equity method investments and lower expenses,
driven by professional services, also contributed to the positive variance for the nine months, partially offset by lower income from
money market investments due to a decrease in rates.
Highlights on the earnings results for the reportable segments are discussed below:
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
The Banco Popular de Puerto Rico reportable segment’s net income amounted to $189.0 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2025, compared with a net income of $125.8 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the
variance in the financial results included the following:
●
mainly from the re-pricing of P.R. public funds which are market-linked, higher income from U.S. Treasury securities with
higher yields and higher income from the loan portfolio driven by loan growth, partially offset by lower income from money
market investments due to decline in short-term market rates. The net interest margin for the quarter ended September
30, 2025 was 3.71%, an increase of 30 basis points, compared to 3.41% for the same quarter in the previous year. The
increase in the margin was mainly impacted by lower deposit costs and higher yield from investment securities, as well
loan growth, partially offset by lower rates on money market investments;
●
loan portfolios due to improvements in credit quality, partially offset by a higher provision in the commercial portfolio,
mainly attributable to reserves for two unrelated exposures with an aggregate balance of 188.4 million, which entered into
NPL status during the third quarter of 2025;
●
credit fees due to higher volume of transactions and higher assets under management, the income of $5.3 million related
to a retroactive charge billed to a tenant for energy supplied in prior years, partially offset by lower daily car rental revenue
by $5.0 million and gains from the sale of car rental units by $1.4 million, associated with the car rental business sold in
the fourth quarter of 2024;
●
sharing expense accrual and other performance-related incentives, and higher processing and transactional fees
expenses by $4.0 million, offset by lower operational losses by $6.2 million, mainly related to mortgage servicing, lower
occupancy expense by $4.3 million driven by a favorable reassessment of the real property tax estimate for certain
properties in Puerto Rico, and lower equipment expenses by $3.7 million mainly related to the daily car rental business
sold in the fourth quarter of 2024; and
●
140
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the BPPR segment recorded net income of $539.5 million compared to a net
income of $404.3 million for the same period of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the variance in the financial results
included the following:
●
mainly from the re-pricing of P.R. public funds, higher income from investment securities, mainly U.S. Treasury securities,
and higher income from loans due to portfolio growth, partially offset by lower income from money market investments
reflecting the decline in short-term market rates. The net interest margin for the nine months ending September 30, 2025,
was 3.66%, 28 basis points higher when compared with 3.38% for the same period of the previous year. The increase in
the margin was mainly impacted by lower cost of deposits, mainly P.R. public deposits, higher yield from investment
securities and loan growth, partially offset by lower rates from money market investments and lower balances as funds
are deployed for loan growth and purchasing U.S. Treasury securities;
●
quality for the credit cards portfolios, lower balance of personal loans and lower reserves in the leases portfolio, partially
offset by an increase in the provision expense for the mortgage portfolio, driven by lower net recoveries, changes in
macroeconomic forecasts, and changes in credit quality;
●
the sale of car rental units by $7.7 million associated with the car rental business sold in the fourth quarter of 2024,
partially offset by the above mentioned retroactive income of $5.3 million, higher service fees by $4.1 million due to credit
and debit card income, from higher volume of transactions and, higher investment management fees and higher charges
on deposit accounts by $3.3 million mainly due to non-balance compensation in commercial deposits;
●
expense by $21.2 million and higher salaries expense by $15.5 million due to annual merit increases and a higher
headcount, higher regulatory examination fees, municipal license tax and higher technology expenses, partially offset by
lower equipment expenses related to the daily rental business sold and lower FDIC expense due to the FDIC Special
Assessment recorded in 2024; and
●
Popular U.S.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the reportable segment of Popular U.S. reported a net income of $17.8 million,
compared with a net income of $28.8 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the variance in
the financial results included the following:
●
from growth in the commercial and construction portfolios, and lower cost of deposits by $9.3 million due to the repricing
of high-cost deposits, partially offset by lower income from money market investments due to lower average balances and
lower yields reflecting the decrease in short-term rates. The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2025
was 2.94% compared to 2.73% for the same quarter in the previous year driven by lower cost of deposits;
●
provision for the consumer portfolio, compared to a release of $6.1 million in 2024, which was mainly related to
improvements in commercial credit quality;
●
equipment leasing subsidiary of $13.0 million recorded during the third quarter of 2025, higher personnel costs driven by
incentives and profit sharing; and higher occupancy expense; and
141
●
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the reportable segment of Popular U.S. recorded net income of $55.2 million,
compared with net income of $53.6 million for the same period of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the variance in
the financial results included the following:
●
commercial and construction portfolios and lower interest expense from deposits, due to the repricing of high-cost
deposits mentioned above, partially offset by lower income from money market investments due to decline in short-term
market rates. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 2.87% compared to 2.64% for
the same period of the previous year driven by lower cost of deposits;
●
changes in credit quality for the commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by lower reserves for the consumer loans;
●
leasing subsidiary of $13.0 million recorded in 2025; and higher personnel costs and consulting fees; offset by lower FDIC
expense due to FDIC Special Assessment recorded in 2024 and lower professional fees; and
●
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
Assets
The Corporation’s total assets were $75.1 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $73.0 billion at December 31, 2024. The
variance in total assets of $2.1 billion was driven by an increase in AFS securities and loan growth across most portfolios at both
BPPR and PB segments, partially offset by a decrease in money market investments, HTM securities, and other assets. Refer to the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition included in this report and to the following narrative for additional information.
Money market investments and investment securities
Money market investments decreased by $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2025, when compared to December 31, 2024, driven by
funds used for loan growth and to purchase U.S. Treasury securities. AFS securities increased $2.4 billion, mainly due to investment
in U.S. Treasury securities and the decrease in the unrealized losses of AFS securities of $338.6 million, partially offset by
maturities and principal paydowns. HTM securities decreased by $324.9 million driven by maturities and principal paydowns,
partially offset by the amortization of $138.7 million of the discount related to U.S. Treasury securities previously reclassified from
the AFS to HTM. Refer to Note 5 and to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information with respect to
the Corporation’s debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.
142
Loans
Refer to Table 6 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. Also, refer to Note 7 in the Consolidated Financial Statements
for detailed information about the Corporation’s loan portfolio composition and loan purchases and sales.
Loans held-in-portfolio increased by $1.6 billion to $38.7 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. In the
BPPR segment loan balances increased by $982.8 million across most portfolios, most notably in the commercial, construction,
mortgage, auto loans and leasing portfolios. Commercial loans included the origination of a $265.0 million commercial loan during
the second quarter of 2025, which represents the Corporation’s portion of a $425.0 million issuance in which BPPR acted as the
lead bank and administrative agent. Origination activity supported the growth in the mortgage, auto loans, and leasing portfolios,
despite the uncertainty about the economic outlook which may continue to have an impact on customer behavior. The PB segment
also increased by $596.7 million, mainly driven by commercial and construction lending.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s loans to non-depository financial institutions (‘’NDFIs’’) amounted to $443.6 million, an
increase of $48.8 million, compared to December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly related to a loan to an insurance company in
Puerto Rico for general corporate purposes, offset by a decrease in other exposures, mainly to consumer intermediaries. At
September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s exposure to NDFIs was composed of approximately $272.4 million to insurance companies
for general corporate purposes unrelated to lending activities, $85.6 million related to mortgage credit intermediaries, and $85.6
million to consumer and commercial credit intermediaries. All loans to NDFIs are current in their contractual payments and carry a
‘pass’ rating.

Other assets
Other assets amounted to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $52.9 million when compared to $1.8 billion at
December 31, 2024. The variance was mainly driven by a decrease in net deferred tax assets of $89.0 million due to a positive
variance in the valuation of AFS securities, a reduction in unsettled trade receivables of $13.8 million related to proceeds from
maturities of U.S. Treasury securities, and lower principal, interest and escrow servicing advances of $12.6 million, partially offset by
an increase in capitalized software costs of $45.8 million mainly related to technology modernization, higher prepaid taxes of $11.5
million, and higher trades receivable from brokers and counterparties of $9.1 million. Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a breakdown of the principal categories that comprise the caption of “Other Assets” in the Consolidated Statements
of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Liabilities
The Corporation’s total liabilities were $69.0 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.5 billion, when compared to December
31, 2024. The following is a discussion of the significant changes in liabilities.
Deposits and Borrowings
Total Deposits
The Corporation’s deposits totaled $66.5 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $64.9 billion as of December 31, 2024.
Ending deposit balances increased by $1.6 billion, while average quarterly balances grew by $2.9 billion. The average deposit
balance, excluding P.R. public deposits, increased by $1.5 billion. Non-interest-bearing deposits remained flat when compared to
December 31, 2024, demonstrating the impact of the Corporation’s continued focus on deposit retention strategies. At the end of the
third quarter of 2025, Puerto Rico public deposits were $20.1 billion, an increase of $612.7 million when compared to December 31,
2024. P.R public deposits represent 30% of total deposits and are expected to continue to range in the short term between $18
billion and $20 billion. However, the rate at which public deposit balances may change is uncertain and difficult to predict. The
amount and timing of any such change is likely to be impacted by, for example, the level of federal assistance and speed at which it
is distributed, the use of local funds to cover federal assistance programs during the U.S. government shutdown, the financial
condition, liquidity and cash management practices of the Puerto Rico Government and its instrumentalities, and the implementation
of fiscal and debt adjustment plans approved pursuant to PROMESA or other actions mandated by the Fiscal Oversight and
Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”). Additionally, the Trump Administration is conducting a review of federal
funding, which could entail a reduction in federal funding available for Puerto Rico. P.R public deposits costs are generally indexed
to changes in short-term market rates with a one-quarter lag, in accordance with contractual terms. As a result, these deposits’ costs
have typically lagged variable asset repricing. These deposits require that the bank pledge high credit quality securities as collateral;
therefore, liquidity risks arising from deposit outflows are lower.
At BPPR, excluding Puerto Rico public deposits, ending deposits increased by $178 million, while at PB segment ending deposit
balances increased by $616 million, net of intercompany activity.
The volume and cost of P.R. public deposits and the proportion of high-cost deposits in the U.S, directly impact the balance and mix
of earning assets and therefore represent a key factor in the Corporation’s ability to expand its net interest margin.
Refer to Table 7 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s deposits at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Borrowings
The Corporation’s borrowings totaled $1.2 billion at September 30, 2025 an increase of $70.7 million when compared to December
31, 2024. The increase was mainly related to higher FHLB advances by $67.6 million, mainly at PB. Refer to Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on the Corporation’s borrowings. Also, refer to the Liquidity section in
this MD&A for additional information on the Corporation’s funding sources.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity totaled $6.1 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $502.6 million when compared to December 31,
2024. The increase was principally due to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $599.3 million, coupled with
the after-tax effect of the decrease in net unrealized losses in the portfolio of AFS securities of $283.4 million and the amortization of
unrealized losses from securities previously reclassified to HTM of $
111
.0 million, partially offset by an increase in treasury stock of
$346.0 million, mainly due to common stock repurchases and the common and preferred dividends declared of $147.7 million. Refer
to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Comprehensive Income and Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for information
on the composition of stockholders’ equity.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Popular repurchased 1,000,862 shares of common stock for
$119.4 million at an average price of $119.33 per share and 3,407,821 shares of common stock for $353.7 million at an average
price of $103.78 per share respectively, as part of the 2024 and 2025 common stock repurchase programs previously announced.
As of September 30, 2025, $429.0 million remained available for stock repurchase under the active repurchase authorization.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation declared a common stock dividend of $0.75 per share, an increase from the
common stock dividend of $0.70 per share.
The composition of the Corporation’s financing to total assets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is included in Table 8.

CAPITAL
Regulatory Capital
The Corporation, BPPR and PB are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. The risk-
based capital standards applicable to the Corporation, BPPR and PB (“Basel 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 September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s, BPPR’s and PB’s capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being
“well-capitalized”.

The Basel III capital rules provide that a depository institution is 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%. The Corporation, BPPR and PB leverage ratio, common equity Tier 1 ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio, respectively as of
September 30, 2025, continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital rules.
Pursuant to the adoption of the CECL accounting standard on January 1, 2020, the Corporation elected to use the five-year
transition period option as provided in the final interim regulatory capital rules effective March 31, 2020. The five-year transition
period provision delayed for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period
to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. During the first quarter of 2025,
the Corporation phased-in all the cumulative CECL deferral over the three-year transition period.
The decrease in the common equity Tier I capital ratio, Tier I capital ratio, total capital ratio, and leverage ratio as of September 30,
2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 was mainly due to the repurchase of common stock, common stock dividends, and higher
risk weighted assets driven by the increase in loans held-in-portfolio and higher non-performing loans held-in-portfolio, partially
offset by the nine-month period’s earnings.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Market / Interest Rate Risk
The Corporation’s assets that are mainly subject to market valuation risk are debt securities classified as available-for-sale. Refer to
Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-
maturity portfolios. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity amounted to $20.7 billion and $7.4 billion,
respectively, as of September 30, 2025. Other assets subject to market risk include mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") with a fair
value of $99.5 million as of September 30, 2025.
Interest Rate Risk (“IRR”)
The Corporation’s net interest income is subject to various categories of interest rate risk, including repricing, basis, yield curve and
option risks. In managing interest rate risk, management may alter the mix of floating and fixed rate assets and liabilities, change
pricing schedules, adjust maturities through sales and purchases of investment securities, and enter into derivative contracts,
among other alternatives.
Management utilizes various tools to assess IRR, including Net Interest Income (“NII”) simulation modeling, static gap analysis, and
Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) to monitor the risk arising from the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities subject to IRR.
The three methodologies complement each other and are used jointly in the evaluation of the Corporation’s IRR. NII simulation
modeling, by legal entity and on a consolidated basis, is prepared for a five-year period, which in conjunction with the EVE analysis,
provides management a better view of long-term IRR.
The Corporation processes NII simulations under interest rate scenarios in which the yield curve is assumed to rise and decline by
the same magnitude (parallel shifts). The rate scenarios considered in these market risk simulations include instantaneous parallel
changes of -100, -200, +100, and +200 basis points during the succeeding twelve-month period. Assumptions included in these
analyses include that the balance sheet remains flat, relative levels of market interest rates across all yield curve points and
indexes, interest rate spreads, loan prepayments and deposit elasticity. Thus, they should not be relied upon as indicative of actual
results and do not contemplate actions that management may engage in as a response to future changes in interest rates.
Additionally, the Corporation is also subject to the risk inherent in the use of different rate indexes for the repricing of assets and
liabilities, as well the risk of pricing lags due to contractual or timing differences between the market and management response to
changes in the rate environment. These forward-looking computations are management’s best estimate based on known and
available information and actual results may differ.
The following table presents the results of the simulations at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, assuming a static
balance sheet and parallel changes over flat spot rates over a one-year time horizon:

As of September 30, 2025, NII simulations showed a shift in the Corporation’s sensitivity position to become liability sensitive.
Compared to the results as of December 31, 2024, the variation in sensitivity and the resulting profile was mainly due to an increase
in asset duration driven by the extension of U.S. Treasury Notes and a decline in U.S. Treasury Bills and excess reserves at the
FRB as part of a decision to reduce sensitivity to declining rate scenarios. In rising rate scenarios, Popular’s net interest income
would decrease due to the lower volume of short-term assets as a result of the investment portfolio extension strategy combined
with higher deposits costs due to BPPR’s large proportion of market-linked Puerto Rico public sector deposits, this would be partially
offset by variable rate loan repricing and intermediate maturity assets coming due within one year. Changes in the balance sheet
during the quarter that contributed to the variance in sensitivity include the purchase of $2.5 billion in U.S. Treasury Notes with an
average maturity of approximately 1.4 years, in addition to higher fixed rate loan balances.
The Corporation’s loan and investment portfolios are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk also could have a significant
impact on the duration of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.
Trading
The Corporation engages in trading activities in the ordinary course of business at its subsidiaries, BPPR and Popular Securities.
Popular Securities’ trading activities consist primarily of market-making activities to meet expected customers’ needs related to its
retail brokerage business, and purchases and sales of U.S. Government and government sponsored securities with the objective of
realizing gains from expected short-term price movements. BPPR’s trading activities consist primarily of holding U.S. Government
sponsored mortgage-backed securities and economic hedges of the related market risk with “TBA” (to-be-announced) market
transactions. In addition, BPPR uses forward contracts or TBAs that have characteristics similar to that of the forecasted security
and its conversion timeline to hedge its securitization pipeline.
At September 30, 2025, the Corporation held trading securities with a fair value of $33.1 million, representing 0.04% of the
Corporation’s total assets, compared with $32.8 million and 0.05%, respectively, at December 31, 2024. The trading portfolio
consists principally of investment grade securities such as mortgage-backed securities of $24.3 million with a weighted average
yield of 5.23% and U.S. Treasuries of $8.0 million with a weighted average yield of 2.57% at September 30, 2025 and $29.1 million
with a yield of 5.54% and $2.8 million with a yield of 3.28%, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
The Corporation’s trading activities are limited by internal policies. For each of the two subsidiaries, the market risk assumed under
trading activities is measured by the 5-day net value-at-risk (“VAR”), with a confidence level of 99%. The VAR measures the
maximum estimated loss that may occur over a 5-day holding period, given a 99% probability.
The Corporation’s trading portfolio had a 5-day VAR of $0.4 million for the last week of September 2025. VAR models include
assumptions and estimates thus actual results could differ from the outputs from these models and assumptions. Back-testing is
performed on model results to compare actual results against maximum estimated losses, in order to evaluate model and
assumptions accuracy.
In the opinion of management, the size and composition of the trading portfolio does not represent a significant source of market risk
for the Corporation.

Liquidity
Liquidity Risk Management Process
The Corporation has adopted policies and limits to monitor the Corporation’s liquidity position and that of its banking subsidiaries.
Refer to the Enterprise Risk Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2024 Form 10-K for
information on the framework in place to monitor, review, and approve policies to measure, limit and manage funding activities and
strategies impacting liquidity risk. Additionally, contingency funding plans are used to model various stress events of different
magnitudes that affect different time horizons, to assist management in evaluating the size of the liquidity buffers needed if those
events occur. However, such models may not predict accurately how the market and customers might react to every event and are
dependent on many assumptions. The objective of effective liquidity management is to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient
liquidity to meet all its financial obligations, finance expected future growth, fund planned capital distributions and maintain a
reasonable safety margin for cash needs under both normal and stressed market conditions.
Sources of Liquidity
Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered deposits and public funds deposits, continue to be the most significant source of
funds for the Corporation, representing 89% of funding of the Corporation’s total assets at September 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024. The ratio of total ending loans to deposits was 58% and 57% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains borrowing arrangements, which amounted to $1.2 billion in outstanding
balances at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $1.2 billion). A detailed description of the Corporation’s borrowings,
including their terms, is included in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements provide information on the Corporation’s cash inflows and outflows.
The following sections provide further information on the Corporation’s major funding activities and needs, as well as the risks
involved in these activities.
Banking Subsidiaries
Primary sources of funding for the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries (BPPR and PB or, collectively, “the banking subsidiaries”)
include retail, commercial and public sector deposits, brokered deposits, unpledged investment securities, mortgage loan
securitization and, to a lesser extent, loan sales. In addition, the Corporation maintains borrowing facilities with the FHLB and at the
discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “FRB”) and has a considerable amount of collateral pledged that
can be used to raise funds under these facilities.
During the second quarter of 2025, BPPR was able to increase its available liquidity by approximately $2.9 billion after the merger of
Popular Auto, LLC with and into BPPR, effective on May 1, 2025, that allowed BPPR to pledge auto loans and leases as collateral
under the federal reserve’s discount window. At September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s available liquidity increased to $25.8 billion
from $21.6 billion on December 31, 2024. During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation had no material incremental use of its
available liquidity sources. The liquidity sources of the Corporation at September 30, 2025 are presented in Table 12 below:

Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information of the Corporation’s borrowing facilities
available through its banking subsidiaries.
The principal uses of funds for the banking subsidiaries include loan originations, investment portfolio purchases, loan purchases
and repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios and operational
expenses. Also, the banking subsidiaries assume liquidity risk related to collateral posting requirements for certain activities mainly
in connection with contractual commitments, recourse provisions, servicing advances, derivatives and credit card licensing
agreements.
The banking subsidiaries maintain sufficient funding capacity to address large increases in funding requirements such as deposit
outflows. The Corporation has established liquidity guidelines that require the banking subsidiaries to have sufficient liquidity to
cover all short-term borrowings and a portion of deposits.
Deposits are a key source of funding. Refer to Table 7 for a breakdown of deposits by major types. Core deposits are generated
from a large base of consumer, corporate and public sector customers. Core deposits include certificates of deposit under $250,000,
all interest-bearing transactional deposit accounts, non-interest-bearing deposits, and savings deposits. Core deposits exclude
brokered deposits and certificates of deposit over $250,000. Core deposits, excluding P.R. public funds, which are fully
collateralized, have historically provided the Corporation with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. P.R. public
funds, while linked to market interest rates, provide a stable source of funding with an attractive earning spread. As of September
30, 2025, total Puerto Rico public sector deposits were $20.1 billion, compared to $19.5 billion at December 31, 2024.
Core deposits represent 92% of total deposits at $60.9 billion, as of September 30, 2025, compared with 92% at $59.9 billion as of
December 31, 2024. Core deposits financed 85% of the Corporation’s earning assets at September 30, 2025, compared to 86% at
December 31, 2024.
The distribution by maturity of certificates of deposit with denominations of $250,000 and over at September 30, 2025 is presented
in the table that follows:

The Corporation had $1.8 billion in brokered deposits at September 30, 2025, which financed approximately 2% of its total assets
(December 31, 2024 - $1.6 billion and 2%, respectively).
As of September 30, 2025, the banking subsidiaries had sufficient current and projected liquidity sources to meet their anticipated
cash flow obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments, in the ordinary course of business and have
sufficient liquidity resources to address a stress event. Although the banking subsidiaries have historically been able to replace
maturing deposits and advances, no assurance can be given that they would be able to replace those funds in the future if the
Corporation’s financial condition or general market conditions were to deteriorate. The Corporation’s financial flexibility would be
severely constrained if the banking subsidiaries are unable to maintain access to funding or if adequate funding is not available to
accommodate future financing needs at acceptable interest rates. The banking subsidiaries also are required to deposit cash or
qualifying securities to meet margin requirements on repurchase agreements, deposit agreements and other collateralized
borrowing facilities. To the extent that the value of securities previously pledged as collateral declines because of market changes,
the Corporation will be required to deposit additional cash or securities to meet its margin or collateral requirements and would need
to rely more heavily on alternative funding sources. In these scenarios, the Corporation’s financial flexibility and ability to grow
revenues may not increase proportionately to cover costs and profitability would be adversely affected.
The Corporation considers balances in excess of $250,000 to have a higher potential liquidity risk. Table 14 reflects the aggregate
balance in deposit accounts in excess of $250,000, including collateralized public funds and deposits outside of the U.S. and its
territories. Collateralized public funds, as presented in Table 14, represent public deposit balances from governmental entities in the
U.S. and its territories, including Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, collateralized based on such jurisdictions’
applicable collateral requirements.

Bank Holding Companies
The principal sources of funding for the BHCs, which are Popular, Inc. (holding company only) and PNA, include cash on hand,
investment securities, dividends received from banking and non-banking subsidiaries, asset sales, credit facilities available from
affiliate banking subsidiaries and proceeds from potential securities offerings. Dividends from banking and non-banking subsidiaries
are subject to various regulatory limits and authorization requirements imposed by banking regulators, including the FED and the
NYDFS, that may limit the ability of those subsidiaries to act as a source of funding to the BHCs.
The principal uses of these funds include the repayment of debt, interest payments to holders of senior debt and junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures (related to trust preferred securities), the payment of dividends to common stockholders, repurchases
of the Corporation’s securities and capitalizing its subsidiaries.
The outstanding balance of notes payable at the BHCs amounted to $595 million at September 30, 2025 and $594 million at
December 31, 2024.
The contractual maturities of the BHCs notes payable at September 30, 2025 are presented in Table 15.

As of September 30, 2025, the BHCs had cash and money markets investments totaling $484 million and borrowing potential of
$165 million from its secured facility with BPPR. The BHCs’ liquidity position continues to be adequate with sufficient cash on hand,
investments and other sources of liquidity that are expected to be sufficient to meet all interest payments and dividend obligations
for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Corporation’s latest quarterly paid dividend was $0.70 per share or approximately $47
million per quarter.
The BHCs have in the past borrowed in the corporate debt market primarily to finance their non-banking subsidiaries and refinance
debt obligations. These sources of funding are more costly given that two out of three principal credit rating agencies rate the
Corporation’s debt securities below “investment grade”. The Corporation has a shelf registration statement filed and effective with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits the Corporation to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity
securities.
Non-Banking Subsidiaries
The principal sources of funding for the non-banking subsidiaries include internally generated cash flows from operations, loan
sales, repurchase agreements, capital injections and borrowed funds from their direct parent companies or the holding companies.
The principal uses of funds for the non-banking subsidiaries include repayment of maturing debt, operational expenses and payment
of dividends to the BHCs.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.75 per common share, an
increase from $0.70 per common share in the previous quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation
declared cash dividends of $2.15 per common share outstanding ($146.6 million in the aggregate). The dividends for the
Corporation’s Series A preferred stock amounted to $1.1 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the BHCs received dividends and distributions amounting to $350 million from
BPPR, $23 from Popular International Bank, Inc. (“PIBI”) and $22 million from its other non-banking subsidiaries. Dividends from
BPPR constitute Popular, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, PIBI, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Popular, Inc., received $20.0 million in cash dividends and $5.3 million in stock dividends from its
investment in BHD.
In addition to regulatory limits previously discussed, the ability of a bank subsidiary to up-stream dividends to its BHC could be
impacted by its financial performance and capital, including tangible and regulatory capital, thus potentially limiting the amount of
cash up streamed to the BHCs from the banking subsidiaries. This could, in turn, affect BHC’s ability to declare dividends on its
outstanding common and preferred stock, repurchase its securities or meet its debt obligations. At September 30, 2025, BPPR
could declare a dividend of up to approximately $237 million without prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board due to its retained
income, declared dividend activity and transfers to statutory reserves over the measurement period. In addition, pursuant to the FRB
requirements, PB may not declare or pay a dividend without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the NYSDFS.
Other Funding Sources and Capital
In addition to cash reserves held at the FRB that totaled $4.7 billion at September 30, 2025, the debt securities portfolio provides an
additional source of liquidity, which may be realized through either securities sales, collateralized borrowings or repurchase
agreements. The Corporation’s debt securities portfolio consists primarily of liquid U.S. government debt securities and U.S.
government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities that can be used to raise funds in the repo markets. The availability of
repurchase agreements would be subject to having sufficient unpledged collateral available at the time the transactions are
consummated, in addition to overall liquidity and risk appetite of the various counterparties. Refer to Table 12 for details of the
Corporation’s unpledged debt securities and available credit facilities with the FHLB and the discount window of the Federal
Reserve Bank. A substantial portion of these debt securities could be used to raise financing in the U.S. money markets or from
secured lending sources, subject to changes in their fair market value and customary adjustments (haircuts).
Additional liquidity may be provided through loan maturities, prepayments and sales. The loan portfolio provides a source of
collateral to secure the available credit facilities with the FHLB and the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank. The loan
portfolio can also be used to obtain funding in the capital markets. Mortgage loans and some types of consumer loans, have
secondary markets which the Corporation could use.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments
157
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation engages in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet or
may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different than the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. As a
provider of financial services, the Corporation routinely enters into commitments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financial
needs of its customers. Refer to Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Corporation’s
commitments to extent credit and other non-credit commitments.
Other types of off-balance sheet arrangements that the Corporation enters in the ordinary course of business include derivatives,
operating leases and provision of guarantees, indemnifications, and representation and warranties. Refer to Note 17 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion related to the Corporation’s guarantees, indemnifications obligations,
and representation and warranties arrangements.
The Corporation monitors its cash requirements, including its contractual obligations and debt commitments.
Financial Information of Guarantor and Issuers of Registered Guaranteed Securities
The principal sources of funding for Popular, Inc. Holding Company (“PIHC”) and Popular North America, Inc. (“PNA”) have included
dividends received from their banking and non-banking subsidiaries subject to statutory provisions that limit dividends paid by the
banking subsidiary without regulatory approval, asset sales and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity.
The Corporation ("PIHC") is the parent holding company of Popular North America (“PNA”) and operates financial services through
its subsidiaries. PNA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Popular, Inc., manages entities such as Equity One, Inc., and PB, including PB’s
subsidiaries: Popular Equipment Finance, LLC, Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A., and E-LOAN, Inc.
PNA has issued junior subordinated debentures guaranteed by PIHC (the “obligor group”), purchased by statutory trusts established
by the Corporation using proceeds from trust preferred securities (“capital securities”) and common securities of the trusts.
PIHC guarantees the junior subordinated debentures issued by PNA. If PIHC fails to make interest payments on the debentures
held by the trust, the trust will not distribute payments on the capital securities. The guarantee ranks subordinate and junior in right
of payment to all other liabilities of PIHC and equally with all other PIHC-issued guarantees, allowing direct legal action against
PIHC without involving other entities.
Funding for PIHC and PNA includes dividends from subsidiaries, asset sales, and proceeds from debt and equity issuance.
Statutory provisions limit the dividends an insured depository institution can pay to its holding company without regulatory approval.
The summarized financial information below shows the combined financial position of the obligor group as of September 30, 2025,
and December 31, 2024, and the results of their operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and September
30, 2024. Excluded are investments and equity in earnings from subsidiaries and affiliates outside the obligor group.
Intercompany balances and transactions within the obligor group have been eliminated. Material amounts due from, due to, and
transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates are shown separately. Related party transactions are also presented separately.

in income tax expense and $6.4 million was reflected in other operating expenses, related to an out-of-period adjustment associated with the
Corporation’s U.S. subsidiary’s non-payment of taxes on certain intercompany distributions to the Bank Holding Company (BHC) in Puerto
Rico, a foreign corporation for U.S. tax purposes.
In addition to the dividend income reflected in the Statement of Operations table above, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2025, the obligor group recorded a $23.0 million of dividend distributions from non-obligor subsidiary which
was recorded as a reduction to the investment (2024 - $67.4 million).
159
Risk to Liquidity
The Corporation’s liquidity may come under pressure if it experiences significant unexpected cash outflows due to deposit
withdrawals, which could arise from various factors like economic conditions, loss of depositor confidence, competition, exogenous
events, regulatory requirements or changes, a downgrade in credit rating, or other events causing counterparties to avoid exposure.
Investors should refer to Liquidity Risks section of “Part I, Item 1A” of 2024 Form 10-K for an additional discussion of liquidity risks to
which the Corporation is subject.
Credit Risk
Geographic and Government Risk
The Corporation is exposed to geographic and government risk. The Corporation’s assets and revenue composition by geographical
area and by business segment reporting are presented in Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Readers should refer
to Economic and Market Risk section and Business Risk Section of “Part I, Item 1A” of the 2024 Form 10-K for an additional
discussion on how the Corporation is impacted by global and local economic and market conditions, including weakness in the
economy, particularly in Puerto Rico, where a significant portion of our business is concentrated. This section also addresses how
our credit risk and credit losses can increase to the extent our loans are concentrated on borrowers engaged in the same or similar
activities or in borrowers who as a group may be uniquely or disproportionately affected by certain economic or market conditions.
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
A significant portion of our financial activities and credit exposure is concentrated in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“Puerto
Rico”) which has faced severe economic and fiscal challenges in the past and may face additional challenges in the future.
Economic Performance
The latest estimates from the Puerto Rico Planning Board (the “Planning Board”) indicate that real GNP grew by 2.1% during fiscal
year 2024 (July 2023-June 2024) and by 1.1% in fiscal year 2025 (July 2024-June 2025). For fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June
2026), the Planning Board forecasts more modest GNP growth of 0.5%. Meanwhile, the Puerto Rico Economic Activity Index
showed a 0.9% year-over-year decline and a 0.2% month-over-month decline in June 2025. While this index is not a direct measure
of real GNP, it serves as an indicator of ongoing economic activity.
In 2021 and 2022, inflation rose sharply in the U.S. and Puerto Rico due to post-pandemic demand and supply chain issues.
Inflation began to decrease by mid-2022 as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, largely stabilizing by September 2024,
leading to a series of rate reductions by the Federal Reserve for the first time in four years. As of September 2025, the U.S.
Consumer Price Index showed a 3.0% year-over-year increase, which is significantly lower than peak 2022 inflation levels but still
above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. In Puerto Rico, the Consumer Price Index increased by 1.9% over the same period.
Moreover, since October 1, 2025, a congressional impasse over fiscal year 2026 appropriations has triggered a partial shutdown of
numerous U.S. federal agencies and services. The shutdown has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, federal payments to U.S.
government employees, beneficiaries of federal programs and transfers to the Puerto Rico government. While these disruptions
could adversely affect our customers and the broader Puerto Rico economy, the overall impact remains uncertain and will depend
largely on the shutdown’s duration and scope.
Fiscal Challenges of Puerto Rico and its Municipalities
As Puerto Rico’s economy contracted in the 2000s, public debt increased rapidly due to borrowing to cover deficits to pay debt
service, pension benefits, and other expenditures. By 2016, the government had over $120 billion in combined debt and unfunded
pension liabilities, lost access to capital markets, and faced a fiscal crisis.
In response, the U.S. Congress enacted PROMESA in June 2016. PROMESA established an Oversight Board with significant
control over Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic affairs, including those of its public corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities
(collectively, “PR Government Entities”).
160
In August 2025, President Donald J. Trump dismissed six of the seven members of the Oversight Board, reportedly due to inefficient
leadership and excessive spending. Three of the dismissed members subsequently filed suit in federal court challenging the legality
of their dismissal. On October 3, 2025, the court issued a preliminary injunction that effectively reinstated such members and barred
the seating of replacement members while the case proceeds. Such ruling remains subject to potential appeal. It is still too early to
determine what impact these developments may have on Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic affairs.
Under PROMESA, the Oversight Board will remain in place until market access is restored and balanced budgets are achieved for
at least four consecutive years. PROMESA also established two mechanisms for the restructuring of the obligations of PR
Government Entities: (a) Title III, an in-court process akin to that of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and which permits adjustment of a
broad range of obligations, and (b) Title VI, a largely out-of-court process through which a supermajority of creditors can accept
modifications to debt and bind holdouts.
Since 2017, Puerto Rico and several of its instrumentalities have availed themselves of these mechanisms. The Puerto Rico
government exited Title III in March 2022, and several instrumentalities, such as the Government Development Bank and the Puerto
Rico Highways and Transportation Authority have also completed debt restructurings under Titles III or VI of PROMESA. However,
the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority is still undergoing its debt restructuring.
Puerto Rico's economic difficulties have also impacted its municipalities. Historically, the central government provided significant
municipal subsidies. However, these have decreased pursuant to fiscal measures required by the Oversight Board. This decline has
been partly offset by federal disaster and COVID-relief funding received by municipalities in recent years. The latest Puerto Rico
fiscal plan proposes a restructured grant system to enhance municipal services and encourage accountability through performance
metrics.
Municipalities are subject to PROMESA, and the Oversight Board has required certain municipalities to submit fiscal plans and
annual budgets for review and approval. Municipalities are also required to seek Oversight Board approval to issue, guarantee or
modify their debts and to enter into significant contracts. To date no municipality has availed itself of the debt restructuring
mechanisms available to them under PROMESA.
Exposure of the Corporation
The credit quality of BPPR’s loan portfolio is closely tied to the economic conditions in Puerto Rico. Deterioration in the Puerto Rico
economy could potentially increase delinquencies and charge-offs, thereby impacting the Corporation’s financial health. The
Corporation has direct exposure to P.R. Government Entities, which are mainly concentrated in obligations from various Puerto Rico
municipalities. Additionally, the Corporation holds loans and securities insured by P.R. Government Entities, such as the Housing
Finance Authority, whose ability to honor guarantees depends on its financial condition. BPPR’s commercial, mortgage, and
consumer loan portfolios are also exposed to risks from private borrowers who are service providers or have other relationships with
the Puerto Rico government and government employees who could be negatively affected by Puerto Rico’s fiscal challenges. For
further discussion of the Corporation’s direct and indirect exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and
municipalities, please refer to Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Corporation also maintains significant deposits from P.R. Government Entities, with future balances subject to various
uncertainties. Further information on Puerto Rico Government deposits is included in Note 12 – Deposits to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
United States Virgin Islands
The Corporation has operations in the United States Virgin Islands (“USVI”) and has credit exposure to USVI government entities.
Non-Performing Assets
During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation’s credit quality metrics were affected by two significant unrelated commercial
exposures, resulting in a $188.4 million increase in NPLs. The determination of classifying these loans as NPLs was driven by
factors specific to the individual borrowers and are not believed to be indicative of a broader decline in portfolio credit quality.
The first loan classified as NPL is a $158.3 million commercial and industrial facility issued to a telecommunications company in
Puerto Rico experiencing reduced revenue due to operational challenges following a business acquisition and client attrition. The
161
second loan classified as NPL is a $30.1 million commercial real estate facility, following a $13.5 million charge-off during the
quarter, and is secured by a hotel property in Florida.
Excluding these cases, credit quality metrics were stable. The Corporation continues to closely monitor the economic landscape and
borrower performance, as economic uncertainty remains a key consideration. The Corporation’s experience managing credit risk
under different macroeconomic and operating environments and, more recently, the steps taken around credit tightening supports
management’s view that exposure to riskier borrowers is adequately managed. Nonetheless, carefully monitoring the performance
of our loan portfolio and its response to the environment will continue to be a priority.
Total NPAs of $545.2 million as of September 30, 2025, increased by $137.1 million when compared with December 31, 2024. Total
NPLs of $502.2 million increased by $151.4 million from December 31, 2024. BPPR’s NPLs increased by $161.3 million, primarily
due to the classification of the two commercial exposures with book values of $158.3 million and $30.1 million as NPLs, partly offset
by lower mortgage NPLs by $18.5 million. Popular U.S. NPLs decreased by $9.9 million, mostly driven by decreases of $6.9 million
and $2.1 million in commercial and mortgage NPLs, respectively.
On September 30, 2025, the ratio of NPLs to total loans held-in-portfolio was 1.30%, compared to 0.95% on December 31, 2024.
Other real estate owned loans (“OREOs”) totaled $43.0 million, a decrease of $14.3 million from December 31, 2024. On September
30, 2025, NPLs secured by real estate amounted to $211 million in the Puerto Rico operations and $47 million in Popular U.S,
compared with $200 million and $56 million, respectively, on December 31, 2024.
The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio secured by real estate (“CRE”) amounted to $11.0 billion on September 30, 2025, with
$3.1 billion secured by owner-occupied properties (December 31, 2024 - $10.9 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively).
CRE NPLs amounted to $78.4 million on September 30, 2025, compared with $53.7 million on December 31, 2024. The CRE NPL
ratios for the BPPR and Popular U.S. segments were 1.31% and 0.25%, respectively, on September 30, 2025, compared with
0.64% and 0.37%, respectively, on December 31, 2024.
The non-owner occupied CRE portfolio was $5.5 billion at September 30, 2025, split between $3.3 billion in BPPR and $2.2 billion in
Popular U.S. This portfolio is diversified across sectors: retail (33%), hotels (19%), and office space (13%) which together represent
two-thirds of total non-owner occupied CRE exposure. Specifically, office space leasing accounts for just 1.8% ($713.4 million) of
the total loan portfolio, mainly comprising mid-rise properties with an average loan size of $2.5 million, and is well diversified by
tenant type.
Within CRE, the commercial multi-family portfolio is $2.5 billion (approximately 6% of total loans), concentrated in New York Metro
($1.5 billion), South Florida ($672.2 million) and Puerto Rico ($199.6 million) regions. In the New York Metro, there is no exposure to
rent-controlled buildings and rent-stabilized units make up less than 40% of total units, with most originated after 2019.
In addition to the NPLs included in Table 18, on September 30, 2025, there were $724 million of performing loans, mostly
commercial loans, which in management’s opinion, are currently subject to potential future classification as non-performing
(December 31, 2024 - $596 million).
The following table presents the Corporation’s NPAs as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

[1] There were no non-performing loans held-for-sale as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
[2] It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90
days or more as opposed to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These balances include $49 million of residential mortgage
loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $65 million).
Furthermore, the Corporation has $29 million in reverse mortgage loans which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest.
Due to the guaranteed nature of the loans, it is the Corporation’s policy to exclude these balances from non-performing assets (December 31, 2024 -
$31 million).
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, increased by $187.0
million, when compared to the inflows for the same period in 2024. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment increased
by $205.2 million, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly driven by the two commercial exposures that were classified as
NPLs during the quarter. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the Popular U.S. segment decreased by $18.2 million from the same
period in 2024, driven by lower mortgage NPL inflows by $17.4 million.

[1] Loans delinquent 30 days or more includes $0.4 billion of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as of September
30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $0.4 billion). Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information of guaranteed loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses Loans Held-in-Portfolio
The ACL represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses through the remaining contractual life of the different loan
segments, impacted by expected prepayments. The ACL is maintained at a sufficient level to provide for estimated credit losses on
collateral dependent loans as well as loans modified for borrowers with financial difficulties separately from the remainder of the loan
portfolio. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information on the Corporation’s methodology to
estimate its ACL.
At September 30, 2025, the ACL increased by $40.2 million from December 31, 2024 to $786.2 million. The increase in ACL was
mainly driven by a combination of changes in the economic scenario probability weights, increases in qualitative reserves in
response to the current economic environment uncertainty, higher loan volumes, and a specific reserve recognized for the $158.3
million commercial NPL inflow described above. These increases were offset in part by the net effect of changes in credit quality and
NCOs during the period. Given that any economic outlook is inherently uncertain, the Corporation leverages multiple scenarios to
estimate its ACL. Prior to the first quarter of 2025, the Corporation assigned the baseline scenario the highest probability among the
scenarios used to estimate the ACL, followed by the pessimistic scenario given the uncertainties in the economic outlook and
downside risk, and the optimistic scenario had the lowest probability. During the first quarter of 2025, the Corporation modified the
weight assigned to the pessimistic scenario to be equal to the baseline scenario in response to the current economic uncertainty,
resulting in an increase of $18.2 million in the reserves. In the second quarter of 2025, the probability weight for the pessimistic
167
scenario was moderately decreased based on changes in the economic outlook and a reassessment of uncertainty compared to the
previous quarter. This change resulted in a $4.5 million reduction in ACL reserve levels, for a $13.7 million net increase from
December 31, 2024. The probability weight for the pessimistic scenario remains above the levels observed in 2024, given the
ongoing economic uncertainty.
At September 30, 2025, the ACL for BPPR increased by $24.7 million from December 31, 2024, driven by changes in the probability
weights that resulted in a $8.8 million net ACL increase, higher loan volumes, and a specific reserve recognized for the $158.3
million commercial NPL inflow described above. These increases were partially offset by improvements in credit quality and NCOs
during the period. In PB, the ACL increased by $15.5 million, when compared to December 31, 2024. This increase was mainly
driven by higher qualitative reserves for the CRE portfolio in response to current market volatility and economic uncertainty, coupled
with changes in the probability weights that resulted in a $4.9 million net increase.
The Corporation’s ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 2.03% on September 30, 2025, compared to
2.01% on December 31, 2024. The ratio of the ACL to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 156.6%, compared to 212.7% on December
31, 2024.
Tables 27 and 28 detail the allowance for credit losses by loan categories and the percentage it represents of total loans held-in-
portfolio and NPLs. The breakdown is made for analytical purposes, and it is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which
future loan losses may occur.

The Corporation’s management, with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on such evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such
period, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a
timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act
and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures.

and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or
