ORIENTAL FINANCIAL GROUP REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE
FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, February 15, 2007 – Oriental Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: OFG) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
For the quarter, the Group reported a loss to common shareholders of $19.2 million, or ($0.78) per share, compared to income available to common shareholders of $7.3 million, or $0.29 per share, in the corresponding year-ago quarter. For the year, the Group reported a loss to common shareholders of $9.8 million, or ($0.40) per share, compared to income available to common shareholders of $39.1 million, or $1.56, in 2005.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Group repositioned its available-for-sale (AFS) investment portfolio and reduced higher priced borrowings in order to improve net interest income going forward, while continuing to focus on its financial services and lending activities to its middle market constituency.
As previously reported, fourth quarter 2006 results included a loss on the sale of securities of approximately $16 million, or ($0.67) per share, related to the repositioning of the AFS investment securities portfolio – a strategy that is expected to benefit net interest income by approximately $16 million in 2007.
In addition, the fourth quarter included: (i) a loss of $3.8 million, or ($0.16) per share, related to $42 million of corporate securities previously held in the AFS portfolio which were deemed to be impaired ($17 million of such securities were sold in December 2006 and the remaining $25 million were sold in early January 2007); and (ii) a loss of $0.9 million, or ($0.04) per share, to write off unamortized costs as a result of exercising the call provision of approximately $36 million of outstanding Oriental Financial (PR) Statutory Trust I subordinated capital notes, which is expected to generate interest expense savings of approximately $3.0 million in 2007.
Commentary and Outlook
José Rafael Fernández, President and CEO, said: “While we realigned our AFS investment portfolio during the quarter, our performance benefited from the continuing success of Oriental’s niche-market franchise, which is focused on providing mid and high-net worth customers with all their banking and financial service needs.”
“Despite the challenging economic environment in Puerto Rico, total banking and financial service revenues for the December 2006 quarter amounted to $8.2 million, and represented a 26.8% increase over the December 2005 quarter and 6.1% over the September 2006 quarter. Net loans increased to $1.21 billion, a 34.3% year over year increase and 3.0% increase sequentially.”
Mr. Fernández also said that in February 2007, Oriental completed a review of its funding sources in light of asset/liability management considerations and changing market conditions, and decided to strategically reposition its repurchase agreements portfolio. Specifically, Oriental restructured approximately $1 billion of short-term borrowings, with a weighted average rate paid of approximately 5.35%, into 10-year, non-put 2-year structured repurchase agreements, priced at 95 basis points under 90-day LIBOR (for a current rate of 4.40%).
Separately, Mr. Fernández said the Group purchased in February 2007 approximately $900 million in agency securities for the AFS portfolio which were funded with a net spread of approximately 150 basis points, locked in for two years on $750 million and one year on $150 million. These securities are intended to replenish scheduled repayments and maturities of securities that occurred in 2006 and are expected to occur in 2007.
“Based on the strategic actions we have been making, plus favorable trends in non-interest income and expenses, we believe that we are well positioned for 2007,” Mr. Fernández concluded.
Analysis of Fourth Quarter 2006 Results of Operations
Interest income for the 2006 fourth quarter increased 5.3% to $57.2 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. This reflected a 36.6% increase from loans, due to both higher balances and interest rates, and a 7.4% decline from investments, primarily due to lower balances. On a sequential quarter basis, interest income declined 6.1%, reflecting a 2.9% increase from loans and a 10.8% decline from investments.
Interest expense increased 32.5% from the year ago quarter, to $49.3 million. This reflected higher costs of funds, due to Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate increases over the past year, partially offset by reduced volume of deposits and borrowings. On a sequential quarter basis, interest expense declined 5.0%, reflecting reduced repurchase agreement borrowings.
As a result, net interest income declined 53.9% from the year ago quarter, to $7.9 million, for a net interest margin of 0.72%, compared to 1.58% in the year ago quarter. On a sequential quarter basis, net interest income declined 12.2%.
Growth in banking and financial service revenues from the year ago fourth quarter reflected a 34.5% increase, to $4.7 million in financial service revenues, a 2.0% increase, to $2.3 million in banking service revenues, and an 86.1% increase, to $1.2 million in mortgage banking activities. On a sequential quarter basis, financial service revenues were up 18.6%, banking service revenues were up 13.3% and mortgage banking activities were up 5.0%. Total non-interest income for the 2006 fourth quarter included a $3.9 million net gain on derivatives instruments, compared to $1.1 million in the 2005 fourth quarter, due to a positive variance in the mark to market of such positions.
During the 2006 fourth quarter, banking service revenues benefited from a Puerto Rico law temporarily lowering taxes on early withdrawals of individual retirement accounts (IRAs), which prompted some customers to redeem IRA certificates of deposit (CDs) before maturity. In late December, Oriental opened its 25th financial center located in the Belz Factory Outlet Mall in Canovanas, a growing suburb east of San Juan near a new highway that connects San Juan to the east coast of Puerto Rico.
Non-interest expenses in the fourth quarter of 2006 included approximately $1.8 million primarily for a supplemental pension payment and charitable contributions made in recognition of the Group’s former Chairman, President, and CEO enhancing the value of Oriental over the course of his 19 years of leadership. Excluding this amount, non-interest expenses for the 2006 fourth quarter would have been $16.7 million and for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been $61.5 million. The 2005 expenses of $57.9 million reflected a $6.3 million reduction in non-cash compensation related to the variable accounting for certain employee stock options.
December 31, 2006 Balance Sheet Analysis
Total investments at December 31, 2006 amounted to $3.0 billion, a reduction of 13.8% from a year ago and 7.5% from September 30, 2006, primarily due to scheduled repayments and maturities in the held-to-maturity (HTM) investment portfolio.
Loan growth from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 reflected increases of 46.1%, or $295.4 million in mortgages; 5.7%, or $13.0 million, in commercial loans; and 2.2%, or $0.8 million, in consumer loans. On a sequential quarterly basis, loan growth reflected a 3.2% increase in mortgages and a 2.9% increase in commercial loans, partially offset by a $2.9 million decline in consumer loans.
Loan production and purchases increased 29.5%, or $23.5 million, to $103.0 million compared to the year ago fourth quarter. Mortgage production increased 22.2%, to $75.0 million. Due to Oriental’s growing wholesale mortgage funding business, purchases from local originators totaled $10.1 million versus $0.3 million in the year ago quarter. Production of commercial loans increased 58.1%, to $15.6 million, while production of consumer loans was $2.3 million versus $8.1 million in the December 2005 quarter. On a sequential quarter basis, loan production and purchases expanded 12.3%, due to growth in mortgage and commercial loan production and in mortgage purchases from local originators.
Deposits declined 5.1%, or $65.6 million, to $1.23 billion, from a year ago. CD balances declined $234.9 million, reflecting a $104.5 million decrease in brokered CDs, the previously mentioned IRA withdrawals, and Oriental’s current strategy with regard to new CD offerings (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). Part of the decline in CD balances was offset by a $183.5 million increase in savings accounts, reflecting the continued success of the new Oriental Money account. On a sequential quarter basis, deposits declined 4.7% due to a $109.3 million decline in CDs, partially offset by a $53.1 million increase in savings accounts. At December 31, 2006, brokered CDs totaled $179.1 million, or 14.5% of total deposits, compared to $283.6 million, or 21.8% of total deposits, a year ago.
Borrowings declined 1.8%, or $50.3 million, to $2.78 billion, from a year ago. This primarily reflected an approximately $36 million reduction in subordinated capital notes, due to the aforementioned redemption of Oriental Financial (PR) Statutory Trust I securities. On a sequential quarter basis, borrowings decreased 6.9%, or $206.9 million, reflecting a decline of 5.8%, or $156.3 million, in repurchase agreements and the redemption of the subordinated capital notes.
Credit Quality
In line with the 34.3% growth in loans during 2006, Oriental increased the provision for loan losses by 28.6%, to $4.4 million from last year’s provision of $3.4 million. 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.
At December 31, 2006, non-performing loans were $38.3 million (3.14% of total loans), compared to $34.2 million (2.89%) at September 30, 2006 and $28.4 million (3.12%) at December 31, 2005. The current level reflects an increase of $8.6 million in non-performing residential mortgages in the second half of 2006, due to residential mortgage loan growth and the effects of the current economy in Puerto Rico. This increase is not expected to translate into higher losses as these loans are generally well collateralized with adequate loan to value ratios.
Net credit losses remained relatively low at $1.1 million (0.36% of average loans outstanding) for the December 2006 quarter, versus $0.7 million (0.26%) for the September 2006 quarter and $1.2 million (0.50%) for the December 2005 quarter. Net credit losses for the year decreased 30.9%, or $1.3 million, from $4.3 million in 2005 (0.49% of average loans outstanding), to $3.0 million in 2006 (0.28% of average loans outstanding).
Capital
Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006 was $338.0 million, or $11.04 per share, compared to $341.8 million, or $11.13 per share, a year ago, and $351.7 million, or $11.58 per share, at September 30, 2006. The Group’s capital ratios remain significantly above regulatory capital requirements; at December 31, 2006, the Leverage Capital Ratio was 8.47%, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 21.72%, and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 22.18%.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, Oriental repurchased 123,100 shares of common stock at an average price of $11.85 per share and a total cost of $1.5 million, leaving approximately $8.0 million available under the Group’s current stock repurchase program. For the full year 2006, Oriental repurchased 232,600 shares of common stock at an average price of $12.11 per share and a total cost of $2.8 million.
