SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 22, 2015--Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Popular”) (NASDAQ:BPOP) reported net income of $52.9 million for the quarter. Net income for continued operations of $43.8 million and adjusted net income of $80.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to net income from continuing operations of $32.8 million and adjusted net income of $81.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Mr. Richard L. Carrión, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said, "While there were a number of significant transactions that impacted these results, we are satisfied that our top line remains strong and our credit metrics continue to head in the right direction in spite of the challenging economic conditions in our principal market. The sale of our California operations in the period caps a transformational year for the Corporation which included the restructuring of our US operations and the repayment of our TARP funds without issuing additional equity. We continue to focus on improving our operational and financial metrics and are well positioned for an eventual improvement in the Puerto Rico economy."

Significant events

  • During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Corporation completed the previously announced sale of its California regional operations, which resulted in a gain of $8.1 million, net of transaction costs.

The Corporation continues its strategy of relocating certain back office operations of BPNA to Puerto Rico and New York. The Corporation incurred $13.9 million in restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2014 and a total of $26.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. Additional restructuring charges amounting to approximately $22.0 million are expected to be incurred in the year 2015, comprised of $13.0 million in personnel related costs and $9.0 million in lease cancelations and other restructuring costs.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Corporation refinanced approximately $638 million in long term structured repos in the U.S. with a yield of 4.41% and replaced them with lower cost short term repos of a similar amount. As previously disclosed, the fees associated with the refinancing of these repos were $39.7 million, of which $20.7 million were recorded as interest expense during the third quarter of 2014, and approximately $19.0 million were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2014.

The decision to sell three of its U.S. regional operations resulted in the discontinuance of each of these respective operations. As required by US GAAP, current and prior periods presented in the consolidated statement of operations as well as financial information covering income and expense amounts presented in this earnings release has been retrospectively adjusted for the impact of the discontinued operations for comparative purposes. The consolidated statement of financial condition and related financial information for prior periods included in this earnings release do not reflect the reclassification of BPNA’s assets and liabilities to discontinued operations. Refer to Table P for a detail of the net loss, assets and liabilities from the discontinued operations. Also, refer to Table Q for details of the restructuring charges incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Net interest income

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Corporation had a net interest income of $326.9 million. Excluding the impact of the $18.6 million expense related to the refinancing of structured repos, the adjusted net interest income was $345.5 million compared to an adjusted net interest income of $347.1 million for the previous quarter. Net interest margin was 4.45% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The adjusted net interest margin was 4.70%, compared to an adjusted net interest margin of 4.64% for the third quarter of 2014. While net interest income decreased $1.6 million, the net interest margin reflects an increase of six basis points. The increase in net interest margin is mainly related to:

  • Cost of total borrowings decreased by twenty six basis points mainly driven by the refinancing of $638 million in structured repos at a 4.41% rate to short term, lower cost repos at the end of the third quarter of 2014.
  • An increase of twelve basis points in commercial loans yield, mainly in the Puerto Rico operations due to originations of higher yielding assets during the fourth quarter.
  • Interest bearing deposits costs dropped by two basis points coupled with a lower volume of interest bearing deposits and a higher volume of non interest bearing deposits.

These positive variances in net interest margin were offset in part by:

  • A decrease in volume and yield of the covered loans portfolio, mainly driven by the portfolio amortization, loan resolutions and the impact of the quarterly recast process. Refer to Table O for schedule of the accretable yield for covered loans accounted for under ASC 310-30.

BPPR’s net interest margin was 5.15%, a decrease of ten basis points from the previous quarter. Net interest income amounted to $311.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared with $315.7 million for the previous quarter. The decrease in the net interest income was mainly due to the above mentioned decrease in interest income from covered loans and lower interest income from investment securities, partially offset by higher income from commercial loans.

BPNA earned $31.2 million in net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Excluding the impact of the structured repos refinancing, the net interest income was $49.8 million, compared with an adjusted net interest income of $47.1 million in the previous quarter. The net interest margin was 2.40% for the quarter. The adjusted net interest margin, excluding the impact of the structured repos refinancing, for the quarter was 3.82%, compared to an adjusted net interest margin of 3.23% in the previous quarter. The increase in net interest income was mostly the result of a lower cost of borrowings due to the refinancing of structured repos, discussed above, partially offset by lower income from investment securities.


Non-interest income

Non-interest income was $109.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of $14.4 million when compared with the third quarter. Excluding the $1.7 million impact of the gain on bulk sales of NPLs during the fourth quarter as part of the BPNA reorganization, and the effect of the FDIC indemnity asset amortization adjustment of $15.0 million during the third quarter, non-interest income decreased by $1.1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2014, driven primarily by the following:

  • Lower service charges on deposit accounts by $1.1 million mostly at BPPR due to lower volume on Public Sector accounts.
  • Lower mortgage banking activities income by $5.7 million mainly due to higher unfavorable valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing rights of $3.7 million at the BPPR segment. Refer to Table F for additional details on mortgage banking activities.
  • Lower net gain on sale of loans, including valuation adjustments on loans held-for-sale by $6.3 million due to lower commercial NPLs sales, as part of workout activities.

These negative variances were partially offset by:

  • Higher other service fees by $6.3 million mostly due to higher contingent insurance commission revenues, which are realized during the fourth quarter. Refer to Table F for a breakdown of other service fees.
  • Positive variance in net gains/(losses) on investment securities by $2.7 million mainly due to the third quarter loss of $1.8 million related to the sale of $94.2 million in available-for-sale securities at BPNA.
  • Lower provision for loans sold with credit recourse by $2.7 million.
  • Lower FDIC loss-share expense by $1.2 million, driven by lower amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset by $13.6 million, and higher mirror accounting on reimbursable expenses by $3.2 million, offset by a negative variance in the mirror accounting on credit impairment losses of $13.2 million due to reserve releases and a negative variance in the change in fair value of the true up payment obligation of $3.9 million. See additional details about covered portfolio and FDIC indemnity asset in Table O.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased by $19.4 million when compared with the third quarter. Excluding the impact of the significant events detailed in the Adjusted Results (Non-GAAP) tables above, operating expenses increased by $8.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2014, driven primarily by:

  • Higher professional fees by $12.7 million, mainly at BPPR due to higher legal fees by $5.7 million mostly as a result of the FDIC arbitration proceedings and other corporate matters completed during the quarter, an increase in technology services by $3.9 million, an increase in consulting and other professional services by $1.9 million and an increase in collection expenses by $1.1 million.
  • Higher personnel cost by $3.2 million, mainly due to salaries expense as a result of bonus and incentives compensation.
  • Higher net occupancy expense by $0.8 million, mainly at BPNA due to increase in property taxes.

These increases were partially offset by:

  • Lower other operating expenses by $7.8 million, mainly due to lower provision for unused commitments.
  • Lower other operating taxes by $1.0 million, mainly due to lower personal property taxes at BPPR.

Non-personnel credit-related costs, which include collections, appraisals, credit related fees, and OREO expenses, amounted to $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with $25.8 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase was principally due to higher collections expenses at BPPR.

Full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”), including discontinued operations, were 7,752 as of December 31, 2014, compared with 7,848 as of September 30, 2014, and 8,059 as of December 31, 2013.

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

Income taxes

Income tax expense amounted to $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $26.7 million, or $3.6 million on an adjusted basis, for the previous quarter. The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2014, on an adjusted basis, was 16%. Refer to earnings highlights section above for a description of adjusted results.

On July 1, 2014, the Government of Puerto Rico approved an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, which, among other things, changed the income tax rate for capital gains from 15% to 20%. As a result, the Corporation recognized an income tax expense of approximately $20.0 million during the third quarter of 2014, mainly related to the deferred tax liability associated with the portfolio acquired from Westernbank.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Corporation recorded a favorable adjustment of approximately $6.1 million in connection with filing its tax returns for the year 2013. Also, the Corporation reversed approximately $3.6 million of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in the Puerto Rico operations. Excluding these adjustments, the adjusted income tax expense would have been $13.3 million, for an effective tax rate of approximately 16% on the adjusted pre-tax income.

Credit Quality

The Corporation’s credit quality trends during the fourth quarter of 2014 were stable with the US regions exhibiting continued improvements and the Puerto Rico region remaining in line with the prior quarter. The BPNA segment continued to reflect strong performance led by the improved risk profile of its loan portfolios, further strengthened by the sale of certain non-performing and legacy assets. Notwithstanding, Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic conditions continue to present a challenging operating environment.

The following presents credit quality performance for the fourth quarter of 2014 for the Corporation’s non-covered portfolios:

  • Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, increased by $83.4 million, or 65.2%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to additions from the BPPR commercial portfolio, of which $75.0 million results from one particular public sector borrower.
  • Non-performing loans held-in-portfolio increased slightly by $3.4 million, or 0.6%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, mainly driven by a $14.0 million increase in the BPPR segment, largely reflective of higher commercial inflows related to the aforementioned $75.0 million public sector borrower, offset by the return to accrual status of a previously disclosed $51.4 million addition during the first quarter of 2014. This increase was in part offset by a decline of $10.6 million in the BPNA segment, mostly related to commercial NPL resolutions and to the sale of certain mortgage non-performing loans as part of the ongoing US operations reorganization. At December 31, 2014, NPLs represented 3.2% of total loans held-in-portfolio, flat when compared to September 30, 2014.
  • Net charge-offs, excluding write-downs, totaled $50.2 million, or an annualized 1.04% of average non-covered loans held-in-portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $40.5 million, or 0.83%, in the third quarter of 2014. The increase of $9.7 million was primarily driven by a $13.8 million increase in the BPPR segment, in part due to higher commercial recoveries during the third quarter of 2014. For the fourth quarter of 2014, total write-downs amounted to $3.4 million, of which $1.4 million resulted from the sale of approximately $28.2 million of U.S. non-performing and legacy bulk loan sales. Refer to Table J for further information on net charge-offs and related ratios.
  • The allowance for loan losses remained essentially flat decreasing slightly by $2.0 million from the third quarter of 2014, prompted by a decline in the BPNA segment, primarily due to the aforementioned write-downs related to the sale of certain portfolios. The general and specific reserves related to non-covered loans totaled $379.6 million and $140.1 million, respectively, at quarter-end, compared with $389.7 million and $132.0 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans held-in-portfolio stood at 2.68% in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 2.69% in the previous quarter.
  • The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 83.1%, compared to 83.9% in the previous quarter.
  • The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $51.6 million, decreasing by $16.5 million from the third quarter of 2014, due to reductions of $9.7 million and $6.9 million in the BPPR and the BPNA segments, respectively. The above mentioned write-downs of $3.4 million required a provision of $2.0 million, of which $0.9 million were associated with U.S. non-performing and legacy bulk loan sales.

BPPR Segment

  • Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, increased by $83.0 million, or 70.0%, from the third quarter of 2014, mostly driven by higher commercial inflows of $88.7 million, primarily associated with the addition of a $75.0 million public sector borrower, as mortgage NPL inflows declined by $6.2 million from the previous quarter.
  • Total non-performing loans held-in-portfolio increased by $14.0 million, or 2.4%, from the third quarter of 2014, mainly driven by higher commercial and mortgage NPLs of $12.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, partially offset by a construction NPL decline of $5.3 million. As mentioned above, the commercial NPL increase was mainly driven by a $75.0 million public sector borrower, offset by the return to accrual status of the previously disclosed $51.4 million addition during the first quarter of 2014. At December 31, 2014, NPLs represented 3.8% of total loans held-in-portfolio, compared to 3.7% in the third quarter.
  • Net charge-offs were $52.5 million, increasing by $13.8 million from the third quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting higher commercial NCOs of $12.9 million. The uptick in commercial net charge-offs derived from an increase in charge-offs of $8.0 million primarily related to a discounted pay-off transaction, and from higher recoveries of $4.9 million during the third quarter of 2014. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans held-in-portfolio increased to 1.33% on an annualized basis from 0.98% in the previous quarter.
  • The allowance for loan losses remained flat at $489.1 million, or 3.1%, as a percentage of loans held-in-portfolio. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 80.7%, compared to 82.6% in the previous quarter.
  • The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2014 amounted to $52.2 million, or 99% of net charge offs, decreasing by $9.7 million from the previous quarter. This decrease was predominantly driven by a higher quarter over quarter reserve increase during the third quarter of 2014, combined with the aforementioned NCO activity.

BPNA Segment

  • Total NPLs held-in-portfolio decreased by $10.6 million, or 35.7%, from the third quarter of 2014. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in commercial and legacy NPLs of $5.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, mainly as a result of loan resolutions. Mortgage NPLs decreased by $2.4 million, mainly as a result of the previously mentioned non-performing bulk loan sales. At December 31, 2014, NPLs represented 0.55% of total loans held-in-portfolio, compared to 0.84% in the third quarter.
  • Excluding the $3.4 million write-downs of which $1.4 million were related to US non-performing and legacy assets, net charge-offs (recoveries) amounted to recoveries of $2.3 million, decreasing by $4.1 million from the previous quarter of 2014. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans held-in-portfolio was a recovery of 27 basis points on an annualized basis, compared to 19 basis points in the previous quarter.
  • The allowance for loan losses decreased by $1.7 million to $30.6 million from the third quarter of 2014, mainly due to the write-down related to the loans sold. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held-in-portfolio decreased to 0.88% from 0.91% in the previous quarter, reflective of the low risk profile of the portfolios. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to NPLs held-in-portfolio stood at 160.1%, compared to 108.5% in the previous quarter.
  • The provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2014 amounted to a provision release of approximately $0.6 million, decreasing by $6.9 million from the previous quarter. The above mentioned write-downs required a provision of $2.0 million of which $0.9 million were associated with U.S. non-performing and legacy bulk loan sales, compared to $12 million in the previous quarter.

Total assets decreased by $1.0 billion from the third quarter of 2014, driven by:

  • A decrease of $1.1 billion in assets from discontinued operations as the Corporation completed the sale of the California regional operations. Refer to Table P.
  • A decrease of $412.6 million in investment securities available for sale, of which $271.3 million was at BPNA mainly from CMO’s and MBS, while BPPR decreased $138.3 million mainly from $234.8 million in US government securities, which was partially offset by an increase of $107.3 million in US treasury securities.
  • A decrease of $138.7 million in FDIC loss share asset mainly due to collections and the amortization of the asset, as detailed in Table O.
  • A decrease of $71.9 million in loans held for sale, mainly at BPNA driven by bulk sales of loans as part of its reorganization strategy.
  • A decrease of $111.6 million in covered loans held-in-portfolio due to the normal run-off of the portfolio.
  • A decrease of $20.9 million in other real estate due to the resolution non-performing assets.

These decreases were partially offset by:

  • An increase in money market investments of $703.3 million, mainly due to lower trading activities on investment securities available for sale, as discussed above.

Total liabilities decreased by $1.0 billion from the third quarter of 2014, driven by:

  • A decrease of $1.1 billion in liabilities from discontinued operations as the corporation completed the sale of the California regional operations. Refer to Table P.
  • A decrease of $379.1 million in federal funds purchased and assets sold under agreements to repurchase due to a decrease of $479.0 million in repos mainly at BPNA, offset by an increase at BPPR of $100.0 million in federal funds purchased.

These decreases were partially offset by:

  • An increase of $341.4 million in total deposits, mainly due to an increase of $324.0 million in time deposits and an increase of $279.8 million in demand deposits due to deposits in trust received at BPPR for the payment of debt instruments on behalf of the local government, which was partially offset by a decrease of $331.5 million in brokered deposits. Refer to Table G for the composition of deposits.
  • An increase in other liabilities of $153.1 million driven by an increase of approximately $120.7 million in the minimum pension liability due to adjustments to the mortality table and the impact of using a lower discount rate.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $27.0 million from the third quarter of 2014, mainly as a result of an increase of $79.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which was partially offset by net income for the quarter of $52.9 million. The other comprehensive loss includes an increase of approximately $103.0 million in the adjustment of pension and post retirement plans, net of tax, which was partially offset by an increase in unrealized gains from securities available for sale of $25.3 million. Refer to Table A for capital ratios.

The following table presents the preliminary regulatory capital ratios based on the current Basel I regulatory capital framework and under the Basel III Transitional Capital Rules for non-advanced approach banking organizations in effect as of January 1, 2015.

The reduction of 127 basis points in Tier 1 risk-based capital under Basel III relates mainly to the impact of the phase-out provisions of the New Capital Rules on the Corporation’s $427 million in trust preferred securities. Under Basel III, only 25% of the outstanding balance of these securities is allowed as Tier 1, with the remaining balance included in Total risk-based capital.

[1] In accordance with regulatory risk-based capital guidelines, Tier 1 capital excludes net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities and net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values. In arriving at Tier 1 capital, institutions are required to deduct net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values, net of tax.
[2] Approximately $162 million of the Corporation’s $810 million of net deferred tax assets included as “Other assets” in the consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2014 (September 30, 2014 - $147 million and $758 million, respectively; December 31, 2013 - $167 million and $762 million, respectively), were included without limitation in regulatory capital pursuant to the risk-based capital guidelines, while approximately $590 million of such assets at December 31, 2014 (September 30, 2014 - $618 million; December 31, 2013 - $627 million) exceeded the limitation imposed by these guidelines and, as “disallowed deferred tax assets”, were deducted in arriving at Tier 1 capital. The remaining $58 million of the Corporation’s other net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 (September 30, 2014 - $(7) million; December 31, 2013 - $(32) million) represented primarily the following items: (a) the deferred tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, which are permitted to be excluded prior to deriving the amount of net deferred tax assets subject to limitation under the guidelines; (b) the deferred tax asset corresponding to the pension liability adjustment recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income; and (c) the deferred tax liabilities associated with goodwill and other intangibles.
[3] The Federal Reserve Bank has granted interim capital relief for the impact of pension liability adjustment.

[1] Covered loans represent loans acquired in the Westernbank FDIC-assisted transaction that are covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements.
[2] Income tax adjustments include a benefit of approximately $23.4 million related to a Closing Agreement with the PR Department of Treasury, completed during the second quarter of 2014 and the negative impact of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $8.0 million recorded at the Holding Company, due to the difference in the tax treatment of the interest expense related to the TARP funds and the newly issued $450 million senior notes.

[3] Includes the aggregated impact of $39.8 million refinancing fees of structured repos, net loss of $11.1 million in bulk loan sales and $26.7 million in restructuring incurred in connection with the reorganization of PCB.

[4] On July 1, 2014, the Government of Puerto Rico approved an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, which, among things, changed the income tax rate for capital gains from 15% to 20%. As a result, the Corporation recognized an income tax expense of $20.0 million, mainly related to the deferred tax liability associated with the portfolio acquired from Westernbank.

[5] The FDIC indemnity assets amortization included a positive adjustment of $12.5 million to reverse the impact of accelerated amortization expense recorded in prior periods.

[6] Represents the impact of the compensation package granted upon separation of an officer of the Corporation equal to approximately $3.0 million.
[7] Represents the net loss on the early cancellation of a lease at BPNA of $1.9 million.
