and

Section

of

the

Act

of

and

are

subject

to

The

Corporation

wishes

to

caution

readers

not

to

place

undue

reliance

on

any

such

“forward-looking

statements,”

which

speak

only

as

of

the

date

made,

and

to

advise

readers

that

various

factors,

including,

but

not

limited

to,

the

following

could

cause

actual

results

to

differ

materially

from

those

expressed

in,

or

implied

by

such

forward-looking

statements:

uncertainty

about

whether

the

Corporation

and

FirstBank

will

be

able

to

fully

comply

with

the

written

agreement

dated

June

3,

2010

that

the

Corporation

entered

into

with

the

Federal

Reserve

Bank

of

New

York

(the

“New

York

Fed”)

and

the

consent

order

dated

June

2,

2010

that

FirstBank

entered

into

with

the

FDIC

and

the

Office

of

the

Commissioner

of

Financial

Institutions

of

the

Commonwealth

of

Puerto

Rico

(the

“FDIC

Order”)

that,

among

other

things,

require

FirstBank

to

maintain

certain

capital

levels

and

reduce

its

special

mention,

classified,

delinquent,

and

non-performing

assets;

the

risk

of

being

subject

to

possible

additional

regulatory

actions;

uncertainty

as

to

the

availability

of

certain

funding

sources,

such

as

brokered

CDs;

the

Corporation’s

reliance

on

brokered

CDs

and

its

ability

to

obtain,

on

a

periodic

basis,

approval

from

the

FDIC

to

issue

brokered

CDs

to

fund

operations

and

provide

liquidity

in

accordance

with

the

terms

of

the

FDIC

Order;

the

risk

of

not

being

able

to

fulfill

the

Corporation’s

cash

obligations

or

resume

paying

dividends

to

the

Corporation’s

stockholders

in

the

future

due

to

the

Corporation’s

inability

to

receive

approval

from

the

New

York

Fed

or

the

Board

of

Governors

of

the

Federal

Reserve

System

(“Federal

Reserve

Board”)

to

receive

dividends

from

FirstBank

or

FirstBank’s

failure

to

generate

sufficient

cash

flow

to

make

a

dividend

payment

to

the

Corporation;

the

strength

or

weakness

of

the

real

estate

markets

and

of

the

consumer

and

commercial

credit

sectors

and

their

impact

on

the

credit

quality

of

the

Corporation’s

loans

and

other

assets,

which

has

contributed

and

may

continue

to

contribute

to,

among

other

things,

the

high

levels

of

non-performing

assets,

charge-offs,

and

provisions

and

may

subject

the

Corporation

to

further

risk

from

loan

defaults

and

foreclosures;

the

ability

of

FirstBank

to

realize

the

benefit

of

the

deferred

tax

asset;

adverse

changes

in

general

economic

conditions

in

Puerto

Rico,

the

U.S.,

and

the

U.S.

Virgin

Virgin

Islands,

including

the

interest

rate

environment,

market

liquidity,

housing

absorption

rates,

real

estate

prices,

and

disruptions

in

the

U.S.

capital

markets,

which

may

reduce

interest

margins,

impact

funding

sources,

and

affect

demand

for

all

of

the

Corporation’s

products

and

services

and

reduce

the

Corporation’s

revenues,

earnings,

and

the

value

of

the

Corporation’s

assets;

an

adverse

change

in

the

Corporation’s

ability

to

attract

new

clients

and

retain

existing

ones;

a

decrease

in

demand

for

the

Corporation’s

products

and

services

and

lower

revenues

and

earnings

because

of

the

continued

recession

in

Puerto

Rico,

the

current

fiscal

problems

and

budget

deficit

of

the

Puerto

Rico

government

and

recent

credit

downgrades

credit

default

by

the

the

long-term

debt

ratings

of

the

Puerto

Rico

government,

which

could

adversely

conditions

in

Puerto

the

risk

that

any

portion

of

the

portfolio

is

determined

to

be

other-than-

including

for

financial

services

companies

in

Puerto

which

changes

in

the

risk

of

possible

failure

or

circumvention

of

controls

and

procedures

and

the

risk

that

the

Corporation’s

risk

management

policies

may

not

be

adequate;

the

risk

that

the

FDIC

may

further

increase

the

deposit

insurance

and/or

require

special

assessments

to

replenish

its

insurance

fund,

causing

an

additional

increase

in

on

of

and

a

assets

relating

to

the

risks

that

downgrades

in

will

adversely

affect

the

ability

to

access

reflect

occurrences

or

unanticipated

events

or

A turn-around story underscored by steady improvement and organic market share gains in

the core franchise, operating within a challenging macro environment. 

Strong, tenured leadership team with a commitment to increasing shareholder value, while

fulfilling our vision to be the most highly regarded financial institution in the markets we

serve. 

Improving operating results, together with ongoing efforts to improve efficiencies and further

build-out our core franchise, are our priorities.

Improving our risk profile and maintaining a strong capital position remain central to our

operating philosophy.

Opportunities for additional branch consolidation and market share expansion.

Outlook enhanced by the increasing interest of foreign investment in Puerto Rico and

potential benefits for the underlying economy.

Share price continues to trail capital formation and profitability as TBV ended 3Q14 at

$5.81/share.  Our DTA valuation allowance is $505 million, or $2.37/share assuming 100%

recapture.

asset

quality

Despite softening in our market, we continue

selectively pursuing high quality loans:

Slight increase in residential mortgages.

Reduction in the commercial book includes a

reduction in outstanding loans to government

entities and a C&I loan paid in full in Puerto Rico.

YTD Origination and renewal activity at healthy levels

$2.65 billion compared to the same period 2013 of

$2.74 billion:

Decline in consumer demand reflected in origination

volumes.  Consumer originations of $792 million YTD

2014 compared to  $877 million same period 2013. 

Reduction in auto sales is reflected in loan

originations.

The FL market continues to produce good levels of

commercial originations. The Fl market increased

from 10% to 13% of total commercial loans from 3Q

13 to 3Q 14.

Executing within a more challenging market

environment in Puerto Rico during 2014 and continue

building on Florida growth opportunities.
