CEO Comment

José Rafael Fernández, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Third quarter EPS grew 16% year-over-year on a 5.6% increase in total core revenues. Loan and core deposit balances increased year-over-year with important growth in commercial loans as we began to see the long-anticipated moderation in auto loan originations. Performance and credit metrics remained strong, and we repurchased $20.4 million of common shares."

"Our Digital First strategy is making significant strides, expanding our positioning as leaders in banking innovation in Puerto Rico. The broad acceptance of our flagship mass-market Libre and mass affluent Elite accounts has driven customer acquisition and retention. Building on this success, we are enhancing our efforts with AI-driven predictive customer insights. Customers now receive tailored insights based on cash flows and payment habits, helping them monitor their budgets and access value-added tools to improve their finances directly from their mobile phones or online. This quarter, we have also launched internal initiatives to apply AI to boost efficiency across all banking operations."

"Puerto Rico's economy continued to perform well during the third quarter with a summer tourism surge, solid consumer and business liquidity, and new multi-million dollar on-shoring investments, confirming the island's position as a world leader of manufacturing medical devices and pharmaceutical products. All these are exciting developments that reinforce our confidence in the island's future."
