ORIENTAL FINANCIAL GROUP REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THIRD
QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, November 1, 2006 — Oriental Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: OFG) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
For the third quarter of 2006, income available to common shareholders totaled $1.18 million, or $0.05 per share diluted, compared to $1.32 million, or $0.05 per share diluted, in the preceding quarter, and $7.22 million, or $0.29 per share diluted, in the year ago quarter. Return on Assets (ROA) was 0.20% and Return on Common Equity (ROCE) was 1.69% for the September 2006 quarter, compared to 0.22% and 1.94%, respectively, for the June 2006 quarter and 0.77% and 12.68%, respectively, for the September 2005 quarter.
For the first nine months of 2006, income available to common shareholders totaled $9.34 million, or $0.38 per share diluted, compared to $31.80 million, or $1.25 per share diluted, in the comparable year ago period. ROA was 1.11% and ROCE was 5.84% for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 3.32% and 49.73%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005.
Total financial assets managed and owned amounted to $7.77 billion at September 30, 2006, compared with $7.94 billion at June 30, 2006 and $7.39 billion at September 30, 2005. Total loans, net were a record $1.18 billion, up 2.1% from the second quarter and 31.0% higher as compared with the year ago quarter. In line with the Group’s strategy, loans as a percentage of interest earning assets increased to 26.6% as of September 30, 2006, from 24.8% as of June 30, 2006 and 21.0% as of September 30, 2005, while investments as a percentage of interest earning assets declined correspondingly.
During the September 2006 quarter, Oriental took advantage of favorable market conditions and sold $321 million of securities, generating a net gain on sale of $2.5 million. Proceeds from the sales were mainly used to reduce repurchase agreements, whose average cost had increased significantly in recent quarters. As a result, at September 30, 2006, investments totaled $3.26 billion, 6.9% lower than June 30, 2006 levels, and borrowings were $2.99 billion, down 7.9% from June 30, 2006.
Oriental declared dividends of $0.14 per common share for the third quarter of 2006 and $0.42 per common share for the first nine months of 2006, the same as year ago levels.

Commentary & Outlook
“Third quarter results continued to reflect significant increases in interest costs as a result of rate hikes that occurred though 2005 and mid-2006,” said José Rafael Fernández, President and CEO. “With the Federal Open Market Committee recently holding off on any new increases, however, net interest margin compression began to slow in the September quarter as compared to the June and March periods.”
Mr. Fernández said third quarter results also featured strong growth in interest income from the Group’s loan portfolio; a rebound in commercial lending volume from the preceding June 2006 quarter; and continued control of non-interest expenses. Oriental launched an improved online retail and commercial banking platform during the quarter, to help drive these segments of the business. In addition, he reported that both credit quality and capital remained strong.
Mr. Fernández reiterated that fourth quarter 2006 results are expected to continue to be impacted by recent interest rate increases, although indications of an improved interest rate environment could benefit 2007. He added that the Group is continuing its strategic plan, which includes the repositioning of its investment securities portfolio and related funding sources, while increasing banking and financial services revenues, and maintaining tight cost controls.
Analysis of Third Quarter Income Statement
Net interest income for the quarter amounted to $9.0 million for a Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 0.77%, compared to $10.7 million (0.96%) in the June 2006 quarter and $17.3 million (1.64%) in the September 2005 quarter. The decline in net interest income reflected the aforementioned higher rates on interest bearing liabilities, primarily short-term borrowings, which in the third quarter continued to increase faster than yields on interest earning assets.
Interest income for the quarter totaled $60.9 million, an increase of 7.0% over the June 2006 quarter and 19.8% above the September 2005 quarter, while interest expense of $51.9 million increased 12.4% over the June 2006 quarter and 55.0% above the September 2005 quarter.
Interest income from loans rose 13.7% over the June 2006 quarter and 36.8% over the September 2005 quarter, reflecting higher volume and yield. Interest income from securities increased 3.8% from the June 2006 quarter and 12.5% over the September 2005 quarter.
Within non-interest income, total banking and financial service revenues amounted to $7.7 million, off 4.2% from the June 2006 quarter, but up 6.8% over the September 2005 quarter. Financial service revenues of $4.0 million were similar to the preceding and year ago quarters, reflecting recurring revenues in trust, IRA, Keogh, insurance and brokerage services. Banking service revenues amounted to $2.0 million compared to $2.5 million in the June 2005 quarter and $2.2 million in the September 2005 quarter.

Investment banking revenues, which depend on the amount and volume of securities offerings underwritten or placed by Oriental’s broker-dealer subsidiary in a quarter, were $0.6 million compared to $0.9 million in the June 2006 quarter and virtually nil in the year ago quarter. Mortgage banking activities generated $1.1 million, which was 77.0% higher than the preceding quarter and 5.1% higher than the year ago quarter.
Non-interest expenses totaled $15.1 million, down 1.6% from the September 2005 quarter. For the first nine months of 2006, non-interest expenses of $44.8 million were 6.1% lower than the corresponding year ago period, excluding non-cash compensation related to the variable accounting for certain employee stock options.
September 30, 2006 Balance Sheet Analysis
Mortgage loans totaled $906.8 million at September 30, 2006, up 2.2% sequentially and 45.9% from a year ago. Commercial loans at $234.4 million were up 2.8% sequentially, but slightly lower than at September 30, 2005. Consumer loans amounted to $39.2 million, reflecting 25.4% year over year growth, but were level with June 30, 2006 balances due to the adoption of a more conservative lending posture in light of local economic conditions.
Loan production amounted to $86.1 million, similar to the $88.1 million level in the June 2006 quarter, but down from the $102.4 million level in the September 2005 quarter. On a sequential quarter basis, commercial production increased 16.8%, to $14.5 million, but consumer and mortgage production declined $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2006, deposits of $1.29 billion were up 6.6% from the end of the preceding quarter and were approximately level with a year ago. Savings accounts at $213.0 million increased 24.6% sequentially and 147.0% year over year, mainly as a result of the increase in Oriental Money, a combined checking and passbook-like product. Certificates of Deposit at $943.7 million were down 12.0% year over year, but up 4.7% from June 30, 2006. Due to the high level of rates being offered for retail CDs in Puerto Rico, the Group continues to monitor closely the local CD market to decide when to pursue such deposits. At September 30, 2006, brokered CDs represented 19.3% of total deposits compared to 22.1% a year ago.
Credit Quality
Credit quality continued to be favorable. Provision for loan losses for the September 2006 quarter remained relatively stable at $0.9 million compared to the June 2006 quarter and approximately $1.0 million in the September 2005 quarter. The provision is based on an analysis by the Group of the credit quality and composition of its loan portfolio to maintain the allowance at an adequate level. Year to date total provisioning of $2.9 million has exceeded total net credit losses by 53.3%.

At September 30, 2006, non-performing loans were $34.2 million (2.89% of total loans), compared to $29.4 million (2.53%) at June 30, 2006 and $28.5 million (3.14%) at September 30, 2005. The current level largely reflects an increase of $5.3 million in non-performing residential mortgages in the September 2006 quarter due to overall residential mortgage loan growth and the effects of the current economic situation in Puerto Rico. This increase is not expected to translate into higher losses because these loans are well collateralized with an adequate loan to value ratio. Net credit losses also remained relatively small at $0.7 million (0.26% of average loans outstanding) for the September 2006 quarter versus $0.6 million (0.25%) for the June 2006 quarter and $0.6 million (0.27%) for the September 2005 quarter.
Capital
The Group continues to be well-capitalized, with ratios significantly above regulatory capital adequacy guidelines. At September 30, 2006, the Leverage Capital Ratio was 8.96% (2.2 times the minimum of 4.00%), Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 28.18% (7.0 times the minimum of 4.00%), and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 28.68% (3.6 times the minimum of 8.00%).
Book value per share at September 30, 2006 equaled $11.57, compared to $11.08 at June 30, 2006 and $11.24 at September 30, 2005. Stockholders’ equity totaled $351.7 million, versus $340.3 million at June 30, 2006 and $346.5 million at September 30, 2005. The sequential increases in book value and shareholders’ equity included the effect of improved mark to market valuations in the available for sale investment portfolio.
During the third quarter of 2006 and the first week of October, Oriental repurchased 150,000 outstanding shares of common stock at an average price of $12.09 each, for a total of $1.82 million, leaving approximately $8.5 million available under the Group’s current stock repurchase program.
