Net interest income

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 4 basis points to
4.41% when compared with the third quarter of 2012. Net interest income
reached $350.4 million, an increase of $7.0 million from the third quarter.
The main drivers of the improvement in net interest margin are:

  * Increase of $6.4 million in interest income on the covered loan portfolio.
    The higher yield of the covered loan portfolio was mainly the result of a
    substantial reduction in expected losses and the resolution of certain
    commercial loans in excess of their book value.
  * Decrease of approximately $2.1 million, or 3 basis points, in interest
    expense on deposits, reflecting continuing progress in repricing the
    deposit base and a decrease in the average balance of deposits, mainly in
    brokered and non-brokered certificates of deposit.
  * Decrease of approximately $1.8 million, or 24 basis points in interest
    expense on notes payable, driven by replacing long-term FHLB advances with
    brokered certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements at a lower
    cost.

  * Banco Popular de Puerto Rico’s (BPPR) net interest margin increased 7
    basis points from 5.11% in the third quarter to 5.18% in the fourth
    quarter. Net interest income amounted to $309.1 million for the quarter
    ended December 31, 2012, compared with $300.9 million for the previous
    quarter. The improvement was mainly the result of higher interest income
    from covered loans and a lower cost of borrowings as mentioned above.
  * Banco Popular North America (BPNA) earned $68.5 million in net interest
    income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared with $69.6 million
    in the previous quarter. The decrease in the net interest margin of 6
    basis points to 3.51% was mainly caused by a decrease in the yield of
    commercial and mortgage loans and of investment securities due to
    prepayments, partially offset by a 12 basis point reduction in the cost of
    interest-bearing deposits.

for loan losses

The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2012 amounted to $82.8
million, a decrease of $23.4 million versus the previous quarter, mainly
driven by lower provision for the covered loan portfolio.

  * The provision for loan losses for the non-covered loan portfolio increased
    by $2.7 million from third quarter 2012.

       * The provision for loan losses for non-covered loans at BPPR increased
         by $8.4 million from the third quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting
         higher net charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio mainly
         related to one particular relationship.
       * The provision for loan losses at BPNA operations decreased by $5.7
         million from the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to continued
         improvements in credit trends.

  * The provision for loan losses on the covered loan portfolio decreased by
    $26.1 million from the third quarter 2012, driven primarily by loans
    accounted for pursuant to ASC 310-30.

       * The provision for loan losses for loans accounted under ASC 310-30
         was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with $17.9
         million for the previous quarter. The $16.3 million decrease was
         mostly due to certain commercial and construction loan pools, which
         reflected lower expected loss estimates for the fourth quarter of
         2012. Overall expected losses on the covered portfolio continue to be
         lower than originally estimated.
       * The provision for loan losses on covered loans accounted under ASC
         310-20 declined by $9.8 million from the previous quarter, primarily
         driven by a reduction in the specific reserve of a particular
         commercial loan relationship.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased by $17.3 million versus the third quarter,
driven primarily by the following items:

  * A $37.9 million increase in other operating income principally due to
    $31.6 million of income recorded from the Corporation’s interest in
    EVERTEC during the fourth quarter related to its proportionate share of a
    tax benefit from a tax grant received by EVERTEC from the Puerto Rico
    Government.
  * An $11.7 million increase in net gain on sale of loans as a result of
    higher gains on securitization transactions at BPPR and sales of U.S.
    commercial loans held-for-sale.
  * Reduction of $5.5 million in adjustments to the indemnity reserves on
    loans sold, mainly as a result of improvements in delinquency trends of
    mortgage loans serviced subject to credit recourse as well as a declining
    portfolio and lower provision in the representations and warranties
    reserve in the U.S. mainland. The Corporation stopped selling loans
    subject to credit recourse in 2009.

These increases were partially offset by:

  * An increase of $3.7 million in trading account losses mainly driven by
    lower gain on sale of trading securities. During the third quarter the
    Corporation sold approximately $140.7 million in trading mortgage-backed
    securities which resulted in a gain on sale of approximately $3.4 million,
    net of hedging costs. Also, during the fourth quarter there were higher
    unrealized losses on trading mortgage-backed securities due to higher
    prepayment rates and higher realized and unrealized losses of local
    municipal bonds due to rating downgrades of municipal agencies in Puerto
    Rico.
  * An increase of $30.1 million in FDIC loss-share expense, principally
    caused by higher amortization of the loss-share asset due to lower
    expected losses, a release of allowance for loan and lease losses during
    the fourth quarter and higher unfavorable fair value adjustments of $5.3
    million in the true-up payment obligation. See additional details about
    covered portfolio and FDIC indemnity asset in Table O.

Refer to table B for further details.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased by $6.4 million versus the third quarter, driven
primarily by the following items:

  * An increase of $4.8 million in personnel costs, driven mainly by sales
    incentives, retail commissions, training expenses and other compensation
    costs.
  * An increase of $2.5 million in net occupancy expenses related to higher
    expenses at BPNA for property maintenance and repair and rent and higher
    real property taxes in the Puerto Rico and U.S. operations.
  * An increase of $4.8 million in professional fees mainly due to appraisal
    and programming costs, processing fees, and other technology costs related
    to services from EVERTEC.
  * An increase of $1.9 million in business promotion expenses tied to
    year-end institutional campaigns in Puerto Rico and higher expenses in
    customer affinity programs.
  * An increase of $9.0 million in other operating expenses due mainly to
    higher costs associated with the Westernbank covered loan portfolio, of
    which 80% are reimbursable by the FDIC, and higher provision for
    operational losses in the Puerto Rico and US operations. These costs were
    partially offset by a lower provision for unused commitments at BPPR.

These increases were partially offset by:

  * Lower FDIC deposit insurance expenses of $10.5 million, driven mainly by
    revisions in the deposit insurance premium calculation and efficiencies
    achieved from the internal reorganization of Popular Mortgage into BPPR.
  * A $4.8 million decrease in other real estate owned (OREO) expenses, driven
    mainly by higher gains on sales of commercial properties at both BPPR and
    BPNA. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in fair value
    adjustments for commercial properties in BPPR.

Non-personnel credit-related costs, which include collections, appraisals,
credit related fees, and OREO expenses, amounted to $14.1 million for the
fourth quarter of 2012, compared with $18.1 million for the third quarter of
2012. The decrease was principally due to higher gains on sales of commercial
OREOs at both BPPR and BPNA, partially offset by an increase in unfavorable
fair value adjustments for commercial properties at BPPR.

Full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) were 8,072 as of December 31, 2012,
compared with 8,074 as of September 30, 2012 and 8,329 as of December 31,
2011. The decline in FTEs is largely due to the retirement window for
qualifying employees that was announced in October 2011 and implemented during
the first quarter of 2012. When compared with the fourth quarter of 2011,
salary expenses are down $2.2 million, or approximately $8.8 million on an
annualized basis.

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

Income taxes

Income tax expense amounted to $19.9 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2012, compared with an income tax expense of $15.4 million for the third
quarter of 2012.

Credit quality continues to improve as the Company addresses its
non-performing loan balances and manages asset exposures.

  * Non-performing loans (NPL) held-in-portfolio declined by $125.4 million,
    or 8%, from the third quarter of 2012 and were 39% lower than peak levels
    in the third quarter of 2010. The reduction in NPLs was principally
    attributed to a decrease of $90.0 million in Puerto Rico commercial NPLs.
  * Inflows of commercial, construction and legacy non-performing loans
    held-in-portfolio decreased by $72.9 million, or 51%, from the third
    quarter as underlying credit performance continues to improve due to
    successful efforts in managing early delinquency and greater economic
    stability.
  * OREO, excluding covered OREO, increased by $14.8 million from the third
    quarter, as a result of continuing efforts to aggressively resolve
    non-performing loans.
  * Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter were $100.9 million, compared with
    $95.8 million for the previous quarter. The increase was principally
    driven by higher commercial and mortgage net charge-offs of $4.5 million
    and $4.9 million at BPPR, respectively, offset in part by lower losses in
    BPNA loan portfolios. Refer to Table J for further information on net
    charge-offs and related ratios.
  * The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans held-in-portfolio,
    excluding covered loans, stood at 2.96% as of December 31, 2012, compared
    with 3.07% as of September 30, 2012. The general and specific reserves
    related to non-covered loans totaled $510.6 million and $111.1 million at
    quarter-end, compared with $528.9 million and $107.4 million,
    respectively, as of September 30, 2012. The decrease in the allowance for
    loan losses is driven by the improvement in credit quality and stability
    in net charge-offs.

BPPR Segment

  * The provision for loan losses for the non-covered loan portfolio increased
    by $8.4 million from the third quarter 2012, mainly due to higher net
    charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio.
  * Net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, increased by $7.0 million from
    the third quarter 2012, principally due to increases in commercial loans
    net charge-offs of $4.5 million, mainly due to one particular
    relationship, and $4.9 million increase in mortgage loans net charge-offs.
  * Total non-performing loans held in portfolio, excluding covered loans,
    decreased by $92.0 million from the third quarter 2012. This decrease was
    mainly driven by a decline in commercial NPLs of $90.0 million. Continued
    aggressive collection and loss-mitigation efforts have led to lower
    inflows of non-performing loans and higher volume of loans returning to
    accrual status after assessing borrower’s willingness and capacity of debt
    repayment.
  * Inflows of commercial non-performing loans held-in-portfolio decreased
    by $55.3 million, or 58%, from the third quarter reflecting stronger
    underlying credit performance.
  * The allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans held-in-portfolio
    remained unchanged at $445.3 million from the third quarter of 2012. The
    allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans held in
    portfolio decreased to 2.92% from 2.96% in third quarter 2012.

BPNA Segment

  * The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2012 decreased by
    $5.7 million. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held
    in portfolio decreased to 3.07% from 3.35% in the third quarter 2012.
    Sustained improvements in credit quality trends drove the reduction in
    both the provision and the allowance.
  * Net charge-offs decreased by $1.9 million from the third quarter of 2012,
    mainly driven by reductions from the commercial loan portfolio. The
    annualized net charge-offs to average loans held-in-portfolio was 1.60% in
    the fourth quarter of 2012, down from 1.74% in the previous quarter.
  * Total non-performing loans held in portfolio decreased by $33.3 million
    from the third quarter of 2012, mainly related to overall improvements in
    credit performance across most loan portfolios.
  * Inflows of commercial, construction, and legacy non-performing loans
    held-in-portfolio decreased by $16.0 million, or 38%, from the third
    quarter of 2012.

Stockholders’ equity                  4,110,000      4,068,984      3,918,753

Total assets increased by approximately $4.2 million from September 30, 2012
driven by:

  * A $121.9 million increase in cash and money market accounts due mainly to
    excess balances held with the Federal Reserve Bank.
  * An $87.6 million increase in trading securities, mainly due to
    mortgage-backed securities.
  * A $229.3 million increase in non-covered loans held in portfolio mostly
    due to:

       * mortgage loan growth of $56.1 million during the fourth quarter of
         2012, with the BPPR segment originating approximately $446.0 million
         in residential mortgage loans, the highest levels since 2005; and
       * growth in commercial loans of $229.6 million,
       * partially offset by a decrease in legacy loans of $81.6 million.

  * Other real estate owned (covered and non-covered) increased by
    approximately $28.4 million, due mainly to the continuing efforts to
    aggressively resolve non-performing loans.

These increases were partially offset by:

  * Decrease in other assets of $155.4 million driven by receivables from
    securities sold, not yet delivered. During the third quarter of 2012, a
    sale of approximately $140.7 million in trading securities was executed
    but not settled at the end of the quarter.
  * Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased by $28.1 million driven by lower
    balances of advances with the FHLB of NY.
  * The Loss-Sharing-Agreement (LSA) indemnification asset was reduced by
    $160.0 million during the quarter, driven by collections from the FDIC,
    while reduced estimated losses on the covered portfolio drove higher
    amortization of the indemnification asset.
  * The covered loan portfolio balance decreased by approximately $147.9
    million.

Total liabilities decreased by $36.8 million from September 2012, driven by:

  * Decreases in notes payable and other borrowings of $586.5 million,
    resulting from decreases in FHLB of NY advances. These advances were
    replaced with brokered CDs and repurchase agreements.
  * Other liabilities decreased by $131.5 million, mainly due to a decrease of
    $66 million in liabilities for unsettled purchases of trading securities
    and a decrease of approximately $20.5 million in the pension plan
    liability, reflecting a contribution of $58.0 million, net of an actuarial
    valuation adjustment.

The decrease was partially offset by:

  * A $681.1 million increase in deposits, particularly brokered CDs and
    retail deposits. Table G presents a breakdown of deposits by major
    categories.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $41.0 million from September 30, 2012,
mainly as a result of the net income for the quarter, partially offset by a
decrease in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale and an increase
in the underfunding of the pension plan liability. Refer to Table A for
capital ratios and Table N for Non-GAAP reconciliations.
