OFG BANCORP – 10-K – MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Please read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with "Note about Forward-Looking Statements," Part I, Item 1 "Business," Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors," and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. We have omitted discussion of 2020 results where it would be redundant to the discussion previously included in Item 7 of our 2021 annual report on Form 10-K. For our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , see Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2021 annual report on Form 10-K. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Natural Events During 2022, OFG was impacted by the effects of Hurricane Fiona, which caused power outages, widespread flooding, water and communication services interruptions, property damages in some areas, and disrupted economic activity throughoutPuerto Rico . Although OFG's business operations were temporarily disrupted by the damages toPuerto Rico's critical infrastructure, OFG's digital channels, core banking and electronic funds transfer systems continued to function uninterrupted during and after the hurricane, and within days after the hurricane, OFG was able to open its main offices and many of its branches and automated teller machines ("ATMs") in addition to its digital and phone trade channels, and shortly after, business activity began to return to pre-Hurricane Fiona levels. Banking service revenues for 2022 were impacted due to Hurricane Fiona's temporary effect on economic activity and OFG's decision to provide relief to our clients by waiving late charges and other fees. OFG incurred$1.6 million in expenses related to this event. Also, based on our assessments for the impact of the hurricane on our credit portfolio, 2022 results included higher qualitative reserves mainly from$1.1 million in loan loss provision, pre-tax. In addition, as a result of the effects of Hurricane Fiona andPuerto Rico being declared a disaster zone by local and federal authorities, OFG granted loan payment accommodations to certain qualified borrowers in order to provide them with flexibility to address the hurricane's immediate impact. Furthermore, for its business banking segment, OFG granted loans up to$50,000 with 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents three months of interest-only payments followed by up to thirty-three payments of principal and interest. AtDecember 31, 2022 , the total loans outstanding under the payment accommodations program amounted to$33.1 million .
Capital Actions
2022 Capital Actions
InJanuary 2022 , OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved the increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to$0.15 per common share from$0.12 per share, beginning on the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 . Subsequently, inJuly 2022 , OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved a new increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to$0.20 per common share, beginning on the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2022 . InJanuary 2022 , the Board of Directors also approved a new stock repurchase program to purchase$100 million of its common stock in the open market. AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG has repurchased 2.4 million shares of common stock for$64.1 million . OFG expects to continue to execute this repurchase program to the extent favorable market opportunities exist at the relevant point in time.
Announcement of Forthcoming 2023 Capital Actions
InJanuary 2023 , OFG announced that its Board of Directors approved the increase of its regular quarterly cash dividend to$0.22 per common share from$0.20 per share, beginning on the quarter endingMarch 31, 2023 .
Economic Conditions
SinceMarch 2020 , the Covid-19 pandemic has affected our communities and the way we do business, as well as economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Within the last year, as restrictions related to the pandemic eased inthe United States , employment increased and pent-up demand was released, which together with Covid-19 lockdowns in foreign jurisdictions created global supply chain issues and shortages of goods, which in turn triggered price inflation. In an effort to address inflation, theFederal Open Market Committee of theBoard of Governors of theFederal Reserve System ("FRB") has tightened monetary policy and increased the federal funds rate seven times during fiscal year 2022, with the last increase of 2022 made onDecember 14, 2022 of 50 basis points. InFebruary 1, 2023 , the FRB furthered increased federal funds rate by 25 basis points updating the federal funds target rate range between 4.50% to 4.75% and FRB officials forecast the federal funds target rate will continue to increase during 2023. In addition, the FRB has also scaled back its asset purchase program that provided liquidity to the bond markets. Adding to economic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures are military actions taken byRussia againstUkraine commencing inFebruary 2022 , which have added further stress to existing supply chain challenges and placed upward price pressure on commodities such as oil and natural gas, which have further exacerbated the global macroeconomic uncertainty and increased inflationary pressures. However, we believe that the macroeconomic outlook forPuerto Rico continues to show strength, notwithstanding the effects of Hurricane Fiona. Recent data show that the Puerto Rico Economic Activity Index, as published by theEconomic Development Bank for Puerto Rico , has been increasing for over a year which we believe signals a stable upward trend as employment gains remains solid. Our commercial clients are experiencing a higher demand for their products and services. Consumer demand also remains strong and, following five years of bankruptcy proceedings under Title III of PROMESA, thePuerto Rico central government has begun to implement the plan of adjustment approved by the Title III bankruptcy court onJanuary 18, 2022 , setting the stage for its exit from bankruptcy. Nevertheless, there remain several public instrumentalities whose debt obligations have not been restructured under the mechanisms provided by PROMESA and any recovery of thePuerto Rico economy could be adversely impacted by macroeconomic developments withinthe United States and across the globe. The global macroeconomic outlook continues to remain uncertain and, at this time, OFG cannot reasonably estimate the scope, term or intensity of any possible adverse impact on our financial position, operations or liquidity, resulting from economic disruption and uncertainty related to Covid-19 variants, economic recessions, trade and supply chain disruption, continuing inflationary pressures, labor shortages, armed conflicts such as the ongoing military actions againstUkraine , and the uncertainty of the timing and extent of potential actions that might be taken by the FRB. However, we believe that the high levels of reconstruction and stimulus funds being channeled towards thePuerto Rico economy are mitigating the foregoing negative effects. 33

LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates
InJuly 2017 , the Chief Executive of theFinancial Conduct Authority ("FCA") announced that theFCA intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. However, the administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly usedU.S. Dollar LIBOR settings untilJune 30, 2023 and has ceased publishing other LIBOR settings onDecember 31, 2021 . Although OFG believes that its exposure to LIBOR is not material, as it represents only 3.1% of total assets, LIBOR-based contracts that will be impacted by the cessation of LIBOR have been under review to ensure they contain adequate fallback language. OFG has also been proactively working to transition to alternative reference rates ("ARR") and/or fallback language in both existing as well as new contracts to prepare for the cessation of LIBOR. Furthermore, management has established a LIBOR transition team to lead OFG in the execution of its project plan and is monitoring the development and adoption of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") alternatives as well as other credit sensitive ARR and their liquidity in the market. OFG is also working towards business and system readiness to originate SOFR-based loans.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies followed by OFG conform with GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these judgments, assumptions and estimates for changes that would affect the reported amounts. These estimates are based on management's historical industry experience and on various other judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these judgments, assumptions and estimates. The following critical accounting estimate involves significant estimation uncertainty that has or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. A discussion of OFG's significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting estimate described below, can be found in "Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with this section.
Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans collectively evaluated for
impairment
The most critical and complex accounting estimate is associated with the determination of the allowance for credit losses. The provision for credit losses charged to current operations is based on this determination. The allowance for credit losses represents management's best estimate deemed appropriate to provide current expected future credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the reporting period. OFG adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) as ofJanuary 1, 2020 . The total allowance for credit losses as ofDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, which included loans evaluated on a collective basis, was calculated consistent with our adopted policy. OFG's management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis following a systematic methodology in order to provide for inherent risks in the loan portfolio. In developing its assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, OFG must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown, such as economic developments affecting specific customers, industries or markets. Other factors that can affect management's estimates are the key drivers used for each macroeconomic scenario, the macroeconomic scenarios selected, and the weighting given to each scenario, among others. Significant changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience, and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for credit losses. Consequently, the business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations could also be affected. The Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") estimation requires management to use relevant forward-looking economic forecasts, by using variables such as unemployment rate, gross national product, retail sales, and house price index, including in the application of reasonable and supportable forecasts. ACL estimations are performed by aggregating loans with similar risk characteristics. OFG applied a discounted cash flow (DCF) method for non-purchased credit deteriorated loans (non-PCD) and an undiscounted cash flow (UDCF) method for purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loans to determine the allowance for credit losses for loans collectively measured for impairment, except for credit cards and overdrafts which utilize a remaining life methodology. For non-PCD, the expected cash flows are calculated for each loan and discounted using the effective yield. The discounted amount of expected cash flows is compared to the amortized cost, and any shortfall is recorded as a reserve. For PCD loans, the expected cash flows are calculated for each loan pool, pool reserve is calculated 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents by the aggregation of total loss from the UDCF. Expected cash flows are resulted from applying the contractual payment term, probability of defaults, loss given defaults, and prepayment assumptions. Management's judgment is required in selecting the macroeconomic scenarios and the weighting of the economic scenarios, which consist of baseline and moderate recession scenarios, giving more weight to the baseline scenario, except for the US loan segment that used the same level of probability in both economic scenarios, as ofDecember 31, 2022 . Management selects the macroeconomic forecast that is most reflective of expectations at that point in time. The applicability of qualitative adjustments includes adjustments of inherent risk not captured by the quantitative model. OFG's sensitivity analysis does not represent management's view of expected credit losses atDecember 31, 2022 . OFG evaluated sensitivities by applying 100% weight to baseline and moderate recession scenarios. The impact of assigning a 100% weight to the baseline scenario was a hypothetical decrease of 3% to the collective ACL, and the impact of assigning a 100% weight to the moderate recession scenario was a hypothetical increase of 6% to the collective ACL. These hypothetical sensitivities do not incorporate the impact of management's judgment for qualitative factors applied in the current ACL for loans. It is possible that others performing similar sensitivity analyses could reach different conclusions or results. The sensitivity analysis excludes the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures.
For a detailed description of the principal factors used to determine the
allowance for credit losses related to loans collectively evaluated for
impairment and for the principal enhancement's management made to its
methodology, please refer to "Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies" and "Note 6 - Loans" to the consolidated financial statements.

OFG constantly monitors the composition and re-pricing of its assets and liabilities to maintain its net interest income at adequate levels.
Comparison of the years ended
Net interest income of$482.1 million increased by$74.7 million from$407.4 million . Tax equivalent basis net interest income of$496.8 million increased$80.1 million , or 19.2%, from$416.7 million . Interest rate spread increased by 84 basis points to 5.02% from 4.18% and net interest margin increased 85 basis points to 5.05% from 4.20%. This increase reflects an increase of 76 basis points in the total average yield of interest-earning assets and a reduction in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 8 basis points.
Net interest income was positively impacted by:
•A$28.5 million increase in interest income from investment securities, primarily related to a higher average volume of$910.2 million from purchases ofFNMA and FHLMC certificates andUS Treasury securities during 2022, which resulted in an increase in interest income of approximately$22.7 million , and higher yield by 77 basis points, which contributed to the increase in net interest income by approximately$5.8 million ; •A$26.4 million increase in interest income from loans driven by: (i) higher interest income from commercial loans of$17.9 million , primarily related to the upward repricing of variable rate commercial loans and increased yields on new loans originated during 2022; (ii) higher interest income from consumer loans of$12.4 million mainly due to an increase in the average balance of this portfolio of$107.9 million ; and (iii) higher interest income from auto loans of$10.0 million reflecting higher originations during 2022; partially offset by a decrease of$14.0 million in interest income from mortgage loans due to a reduction of$314.7 million in the average balance of this portfolio; •A$11.5 million increase in interest income from higher yield in lower balances of interest-bearing cash and money market related to the increase in FRB fund rates during 2022; and •Lower interest expense by$8.3 million , reflecting a reduction of$140.7 million in the average balances of total deposits and borrowings and a reduction of 8 basis points in total cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of approximately$5.3 million and$3.1 million , respectively. 42

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income is affected by fees generated from loans and deposit accounts, the amount of assets under management of the Bank's trust department, transactions generated by clients' financial assets serviced by OFG's securities broker-dealer, insurance agency and reinsurance subsidiaries, the level of mortgage banking activities, and gains on sales of assets.
Comparison of the years ended
OFG recorded non-interest income in the amount of
non-interest income was mainly due to:
•A decrease of$2.4 million in wealth management revenue, primarily related to a$1.4 million decrease in broker-dealer revenues, a$1.3 million decrease in trust division fees from lower balances in assets under management, and a$1.2 million decrease in contingent annual commissions due to Hurricane Fiona-related claims, partially offset by a$1.5 million increase in income from the reinsurance business; •A decrease of$579 thousand in mortgage-banking activities due to lower net gain on sales of$6.0 million , driven by lower sales volume, offset by an increase of$3.4 million related to higher gain in repurchased loans and higher servicing fees by$1.4 million ; •A decrease of$545 thousand in banking service revenues, primarily related to lower electronic banking charges by$1.3 million reflecting lower debit card interchange fees from lower debit card utilization, lower merchant- related income due to business disruptions caused by Hurricane Fiona during the third quarter of 2022, and lower fees from account analysis services. This decrease was partially offset by increases of$469 thousand in checking and savings account fees and$255 thousand in credit life commissions associated to higher consumer loan production during 2022; and
•A
securities during 2022.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•The effect in 2021 of a$1.5 million loss recorded for the early termination of$33.3 million inFederal Home Loan Bank advances with an average cost of 2.98%; and •An increase of$756 thousand in other non-interest income, primarily related to a$4.6 million gain recognized on the sale of a branch building during 2022; partially offset by a$2.4 million warrant revenue and a$1.5 million receivable recoveries written-off in the Scotiabank Acquisition, both recorded during 2021. 43

Comparison of the years ended
Non-interest expense was$345.5 million , representing an increase of 6.1%, or$19.8 million , compared to$325.8 million . The increase in non-interest expenses was mainly due to: •Increase in compensation and employee benefits of$9.5 million , primarily related to a one-time$1.3 million pandemic employee tax credit in the prior year, increases in minimum hourly wages and annual salaries in the current year, higher provision for bonuses and added technology staffing as part of OFG's "Digital First" strategy; •Increase in professional and service fees expenses of$4.8 million , reflecting higher balances in compliance related expenses due to greater levels of business activity and supervisory examination fees by$4.6 million and$1.1 million , respectively, partially offset by lower balances in legal expenses related to residential mortgage loan servicing by$792 thousand ;
•Increase of
cloud computing expenses, cyber security expenses and new digital projects;

taxes, as a result of changes in tax law.
The efficiency ratio was 56.85% and improved from 60.70%. The efficiency ratio measures how much of OFG's revenues is used to pay operating expenses. OFG computes its efficiency ratio by dividing non-interest expenses by the sum of its net interest income and non-interest income, but excluding gains on the sale of investment securities, derivatives gains or losses, other gains and losses, and other income that may be considered volatile in nature. Management believes that the exclusion of those items permits consistent comparability. Amounts presented as part of non-interest income that are excluded from the efficiency ratio computation for 2022 and 2021 amounted to$6.0 million and$4.0 million , respectively. Provision for Credit Losses
Comparison of the years ended
Provision for credit losses increased$23.9 million to$24.1 million from$221 thousand . The provision for credit losses for 2022 reflected a provision of$25.9 million related to the growth in loan balances, a provision of$11.8 million related to commercial-specific loan reserves due to certain commercial loans placed in non-accrual status, and a provision of$1.9 million for changes in the economic and loss rate models, offset by a$15.2 million release associated with qualitative adjustment due to improvement in the performance of the portfolios and inPuerto Rico's labor market and$288 thousand release in other miscellaneous reserves. The provision for credit losses for 2021 reflected improvements in macro-economic scenarios and continued improvement in asset quality trends, partially offset by an additional expense of$9.7 million related to the decision to sell$65.5 million of past due loans.
Income Tax Expense
Comparison of the years ended
Income tax expense increased$9.4 million to$77.9 million from$68.5 million . The income tax expense for 2022 reflects greater income before taxes, increase in foreign tax withholding due to higher income fromU.S. Bank subsidiary subject to lower tax rate and lower net exempt income.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Business Segments OFG segregates its businesses into the following segments: Banking, Wealth Management, andTreasury . Management established the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. Other factors such as OFG's organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of its services were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. OFG measures the performance of these reportable segments based on pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income, net interest income, loan production, and fees generated. OFG's methodology for allocating non-interest expenses among segments is based on several factors such as revenue, employee headcount, occupied space, dedicated services or time, among others. Following are the results of operations and the selected financial information by operating segment for 2022 and 2021.
Comparison of years ended
Banking
OFG's banking segment net income before taxes decreased by
•Increase in provision for credit losses by$22.8 million . The provision for credit losses for 2022 increased mainly as a result of growth in loan balances and commercial-specific loan reserves due to certain commercial loans placed in non-accrual status. The provision for credit losses for 2021 reflected improvements in macro-economic scenarios and continued improvement in asset quality trends as the Covid-19 pandemic conditions improved. •Increase in non-interest expenses by$22.6 million , mainly due to higher compensation and employee benefits by$9.8 million from salary increases and added technology staffing, higher compliance related professional expenses and electronic banking charges by$4.7 million and$2.4 million , respectively, due to greater levels of business activity, as well as$2.8 million higher technology expenses related to digital transformation, and$1.6 million in climate event expenses from Hurricane Fiona.
The decreases in the banking segment's net income were partially offset by:
•Increase of
yields on higher loan balances; and
•Lower interest expense on deposits by
lower average balances and reduced costs of core deposits.
Wealth Management
Wealth management segment revenue consists of commissions and fees from fiduciary activities, securities brokerage and insurance activities. Net income before taxes from this segment decreased by$646 thousand reflecting a decrease of$1.4 million in broker-dealer revenues, a$1.3 million decrease in trust division fees from lower balances in assets under management, and a$1.2 million decrease in contingent commissions due to Hurricane Fiona-related claims, partially offset by a$1.5 million increase in income from the reinsurance business and lower claims and settlement expenses by$1.7 million .
reflecting:
•Increase in interest income by$39.9 million , reflecting the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities andU.S. Treasury securities during the current year and higher yield in lower balances of interest-bearing cash and money market investments related to the increase in federal fund rates; and •Increase in interest expense by$4.8 million , reflecting higher expense in inter-segment borrowing by$6.2 million as a result of higher average balance and federal funds rate increases during 2022, offset by the cancellation of$33.1 million of FHLB advances during 2021 and the early redemption of$36.1 million subordinated capital notes during 2022. 47

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets Owned
At
of
The investment portfolio increased by$1.076 billion , or 120.1%, primarily related to purchases of available-for-sale agency mortgage-backed securities andUS Treasury securities with face value amounting to$843 million and$550 million , respectively, and held-to-maturityUS Treasury securities with face value amounting to$200 million during 2022. This increase was partially offset by the sale of available-for-saleUS Treasury securities amounting to$242.4 million , net of discounts. OFG's strategy is to invest its liquidity in highly liquid securities and designate them as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity after taking into account the investment's characteristics with respect to yield and term and the current market environment. OFG's loan portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, commercial loans secured by real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans, and auto loans and leases. AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG's net loan portfolio increased by$393.9 million , or 6.2%, reflecting increases in auto, commercial and consumer loans, partially offset by$84.4 million PPP loans forgiven by theSmall Business Administration and the sale of loans held for sale amounting to$25.2 million , including$21.9 million of past due mortgage loans and a$3.3 million commercial loan.

Financial Assets Managed
AtDecember 31, 2022 OFG's financial assets include those managed by OFG's trust division and assets gathered by its securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries. OFG's trust division offers various types of individual retirement accounts ("IRAs") and manages 401(k) and Keogh retirement plans and custodian and corporate trust accounts. AtDecember 31, 2022 , the total assets managed by OFG's trust division amounted to$2.335 billion . AtDecember 31, 2021 the total assets managed by OFG's trust division and retirement plan administration subsidiary amounted to$3.759 billion . This decrease reflects the sale of the retirement plan administration business managed by OPC during 2022. OFG's broker-dealer subsidiary offers a wide array of investment alternatives to its client base, such as tax-advantaged fixed income securities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds and money management wrap-fee programs. AtDecember 31, 2022 , total assets gathered by the securities broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries from their customers' investment accounts amounted to$2.172 billion , compared to$2.466 billion atDecember 31, 2021 . Changes in trust and broker-dealer related assets also reflect changes in portfolio balances and differences in market value resulting from the increase in interest rates.
OFG's goodwill is not amortized to expense but is tested at least annually for impairment. A quantitative annual impairment test is not required if, based on a qualitative analysis, OFG determines that the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired. OFG completes its annual goodwill impairment test as ofOctober 31 of each year. OFG tests for impairment by first allocating its goodwill and other assets and liabilities, as necessary, to defined reporting units. A fair value is then determined for each reporting unit. If the fair values of the reporting units exceed their book values, no write-down of the recorded goodwill is necessary. If the fair values are less than the book values, an additional valuation procedure is necessary to assess the proper carrying value of the goodwill. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , OFG had$84.2 million of goodwill allocated as follows:$84.1 million to the banking segment and$0.1 million to the wealth management segment. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , OFG had$86.1 million of goodwill allocated as follows:$84.1 million to the banking segment and$2.0 million to the wealth management segment. OnDecember 30, 2022 , OFG sold its retirement plan administration business, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill by$1.8 million . This goodwill was allocated to the wealth management segment. Please refer to "Note 12 -Goodwill and other intangibles" to our consolidated financial statements for more information on the annual goodwill impairment test. 48

As shown in Table 6 above, total loans, net, amounted to$6.723 billion atDecember 31, 2022 and$6.329 billion atDecember 31, 2021 . OFG's loans held-for-investment portfolio composition and trends were as follows: •Commercial loan portfolio amounted to$2.630 billion (38.5% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to$2.379 billion (37.2% of the gross loan portfolio) atDecember 31, 2021 .
Commercial loan production, excluding PPP loans, decreased by 3.7%, or
During 2021, OFG originated
originations of PPP loans during 2022, as the program concluded in 2021.
•Mortgage loan portfolio amounted to$1.704 billion (24.9% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to$1.907 billion (29.8% of the gross originated loan portfolio) atDecember 31, 2021 . Mortgage loans included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program amounting to$32.6 million and$14.5 million atDecember 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , respectively. Under the GNMA program, issuers such as OFG have the option but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are 90 days or more past due. For accounting purposes, these loans subject to the repurchase option are required to be reflected (rebooked) on our financial statements with an offsetting liability. Mortgage loan production totaled$200.9 million in 2022, which represents a decrease of 44.8% from$364.2 million in 2021. The housing market inPuerto Rico has been greatly impacted by the FRB interest rate increases during 2022, in contrast with 2021 where there was a sudden increase in housing originations as a result of higher liquidity from government funding from Hurricane Maria, earthquakes and Covid-19 pandemic in thePuerto Rico economy combined with low interest rates. OFG follows a conservative residential mortgage lending policy with more than 90% of its residential mortgage portfolio consisting of fixed-rate, fully amortizing, fully documented loans that do not have the level of risk associated with subprime loans offered by certain majorU.S. mortgage loan originators. Furthermore, OFG has never been active in negative amortization loans or offered adjustable-rate mortgage loans with teaser rates. •Consumer loan portfolio amounted to$537.3 million (7.9% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to$409.7 million (6.4% of the gross loan portfolio) atDecember 31, 2021 . Consumer loan production increased 69.8% to$334.2 million in 2022 from$196.8 million in 2021. •Auto loans and leasing portfolio amounted to$1.964 billion (28.7% of the gross loan portfolio) compared to$1.706 billion (26.6% of the gross originated loan portfolio) atDecember 31, 2021 . Auto loans production increased by 26.6% to$812.6 million in 2022 compared to$641.7 million in 2021. 50

Credit Risk Management
Allowance for Credit Losses
OFG measures its allowance for credit losses based on management's best estimate
of future expected credit losses inherent in OFG's relevant financial assets.
51
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Tables 9 through 12 set forth an analysis of activity in the allowance for credit losses and present selected credit loss statistics for 2022 and 2021 and as ofDecember 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 . In addition, Table 6 sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio. Please refer to the "Provision for Credit Losses" and "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" sections in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this annual report on Form 10-K and "Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses" of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a more detailed analysis of provisions and allowance for credit losses. Non-performing Assets OFG's non-performing assets include non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate, and other repossessed assets (see Tables 13 and 15). AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG had$89.6 million of non-accrual loans held for investment, including$9.2 million PCD loans, compared to$101.9 million atDecember 31, 2021 , reflecting decreases of$6.8 million ,$6.1 million and$216 thousand in commercial, mortgage and auto loan portfolios, respectively, partially offset by an increase of$825 thousand in the consumer loan portfolio. AtDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, total commercial non-accrual loans excludes$16.4 million and$9.9 million , respectively, of non-accrual commercial loans held for sale. AtDecember 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , loans whose terms have been extended and which were classified as troubled-debt restructurings that were not included in non-accrual loans amounted to$145.2 million and$125.9 million , respectively, as they were performing under their modified terms. Delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicableFederal Housing Administration ("FHA") andUnited States Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA") programs are classified as non-performing loans when they become 90 days or more past due but are not placed in non-accrual status until they become 12 months or more past due, since they are insured loans. Therefore, those loans are included as non-performing loans but excluded from non-accrual loans.
At
at
Foreclosed real estate decreased from$15.0 million atDecember 31, 2021 to$11.2 million atDecember 31, 2022 and other repossessed assets increased from$1.9 million atDecember 31, 2021 to$4.6 million atDecember 31, 2022 , both recorded at fair value. OFG does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses. AtDecember 31, 2022 , the allowance coverage ratio to non-performing loans was 152.9% (139.2% atDecember 31, 2021 ). Upon adoption of the current expected credit losses ("CECL") methodology, OFG elected to maintain pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and will continue to account for these pools as a unit of account. As such, for PCD loans the determination of nonaccrual or accrual status is made at the pool level, not the individual loan level. Upon adoption of CECL, the allowance for credit losses was determined for each pool and added to the pool's carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis. The difference between the unpaid principal balance of the pool and the new amortized cost basis is the non-credit premium or discount which will be amortized interest income over the remaining life of the pool. On a quarterly basis, management will monitor the composition and behavior of the pools to assess the ability for cash flow estimation and timing. If based on the analysis performed the pool is classified as non-accrual, the accretion/amortization of the non-credit (discount) premium will cease.
The following items comprise non-performing loans held for investment, including
Non-PCD and PCDs:
Commercial loans - AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG's non-performing commercial loans amounted to$43.4 million (43.4% of OFG's non-performing loans), a 13.5% decrease from$50.1 million atDecember 31, 2021 (44.8% of OFG's non-performing loans). Non-PCD commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due and are written down, if necessary, based on the specific evaluation of the underlying collateral, if any. Mortgage loans - AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG's non-performing mortgage loans totaled$33.8 million (33.8% of OFG's non-performing loans), a 15.0% decrease from$39.7 million (35.5% of OFG's non-performing loans) atDecember 31, 2021 . During 2022, OFG sold$21.9 million of past due mortgage loans,$4.0 million were included as non-performing assets atDecember 31, 2021 . Non-PCD mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due and are written-down, if necessary, based on the specific evaluation of the collateral underlying the loan, except for FHA andVA insured mortgage loans which are placed in non-accrual when they become 12 months or more past due. 52
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Consumer loans - AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG's non-performing consumer loans amounted to$3.1 million (3.1% of OFG's non-performing loans), an 35.8% increase from$2.3 million atDecember 31, 2021 (2.1% of OFG's non-performing loans), which reflect higher balances in the portfolio. Non-PCD consumer loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due and written-off when payments are delinquent 120 days in personal loans and 180 days in credit cards and personal lines of credit. Auto loans and leasing - AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG's non-performing auto loans and leases amounted to$19.6 million (19.7% of OFG's total non-performing loans), a decrease of 1.1% from$19.8 million atDecember 31, 2021 (17.6% of OFG's total non-performing loans), which reflect higher balances in the portfolio. Non-PCD auto loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, partially written-off to collateral value when payments are delinquent 120 days, and fully written-off when payments are delinquent 180 days. OFG has two mortgage loan modification programs. These are the Loss Mitigation Program and the Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan Program. Both programs are intended to help responsible homeowners to remain in their homes and avoid foreclosure, while also reducing OFG's losses on non-performing mortgage loans. The Loss Mitigation Program helps mortgage borrowers who are or will become financially unable to meet the current or scheduled mortgage payments. Loans that qualify under this program are those guaranteed by FHA,VA ,USDA Rural Development (RURAL),Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (PRHFA), conventional loans guaranteed byMortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC), conventional loans sold toFNMA and FHLMC, and conventional loans retained by OFG. The program offers diversified alternatives such as regular or reduced payment plans, payment moratorium, mortgage loan modification, partial claims (only FHA), short sale, and deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan Program is for non-conforming mortgages, including balloon payment, interest-only/interest first, variable interest rate, adjustable interest rate and other qualified loans. Non-conforming mortgage loan portfolios are segregated into the following categories: performing loans that meet secondary market requirement and are refinanced under the credit underwriting guidelines of FHA/VA /FNMA / FHLMC, and performing loans not meeting secondary market guidelines processed pursuant OFG's current credit and underwriting guidelines. OFG achieved an affordable and sustainable monthly payment by taking specific, sequential, and necessary steps such as reducing the interest rate, extending the loan term, capitalizing arrearages, deferring the payment of principal or, if the borrower qualifies, refinancing the loan. In order to apply for any of our loan modification programs, if the borrower is active in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it must request an authorization from the bankruptcy trustee to allow for the loan modification. Borrowers with discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcies may also apply. Loans in these programs are evaluated by designated credit underwriters for troubled-debt restructuring classification if OFG grants a concession for legal or economic reasons due to the debtor's financial difficulties. As a result of the effects of Hurricane Fiona andPuerto Rico being declared a disaster zone by local and federal authorities during 2022, OFG granted loan payment accommodations to certain qualified borrowers in order to provide them with flexibility to address the hurricane's immediate impact. In addition, for its business banking segment, OFG granted loans up to$50,000 with three months of interest-only payments followed by up to thirty-three payments of principal and interest. AtDecember 31, 2022 , the total loans outstanding under the payment accommodations program amounted to$33.1 million . 53

The change reflects the effect in 2021 of charge-offs amounting to$30.1 million associated with OFG's decision to sell past due mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2021 and recoveries of$1.1 million associated with the final settlement, during the first quarter of 2022, of the aforementioned transfer of loans to held for sale. Commercial loans net charge-offs amounted to$8.4 million in 2022, decreasing$7.3 million when compared to net charge-offs of$15.7 million in 2021. The 2022 net charge-offs included$12.3 million charge-offs previously reserved for four commercial loans, two of them were sold during 2022. In addition, the 2022 net charge-offs included a$2.8 million recovery from aPuerto Rico government public corporation PCD commercial loan repaid during the first quarter of 2022. Consumer loans net charge-offs amounted to$12.0 million in 2022, increasing$3.4 million when compared to net charge-offs of$8.7 million in 2021. The increase in net-charge offs during 2022 was driven by an increase in business volumes and change in the delinquency trend. During 2021, borrowers received several federal incentives which facilitated the stabilization of delinquency trends.

Stockholders' Equity
AtDecember 31, 2022 , OFG's total stockholders' equity was$1.042 billion , a 3% decrease when compared to$1.069 billion atDecember 31, 2021 . This reduction in stockholders' equity reflects a decrease of$60.6 million from treasury stock and$268 thousand in additional paid-in capital, as a result of repurchases of common stock in the aggregate amount of$64.1 million in connection with the$100 million stock buyback program announced during the first quarter of 2022. It also reflects a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of$98.6 million from changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities due to FRB interest rates increases during 2022. The decrease was offset by an increase in retained earnings of$116.4 million and legal surplus of$16.2 million , mainly due to$166.2 million in net income, partially offset by$33.6 million common stock dividends issued during 2022.
OFG and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by theFederal Reserve Board and theFDIC . The current risk-based capital standards applicable to OFG and the Bank ("Basel III capital rules") are based on the final capital framework for strengthening international capital standards, known as Basel III, of theBasel Committee on Banking Supervision . As ofDecember 31, 2022 , the capital ratios of OFG and the Bank continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being "well-capitalized" under the Basel III capital rules. OnJanuary 1, 2020 , OFG implemented CECL using the modified retrospective approach, with an impact to capital of$25.5 million , net of its corresponding deferred tax effect. OnMarch 27, 2020 , in response to the Covid-19 pandemic,U.S. banking regulators issued an interim final rule that OFG adopted to delay for two years the initial adoption impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during 2020 and 2021 (i.e., a five-year transition period). During the two-year delay, OFG added back to common equity tier 1 ("CET1") capital 100% of the initial adoption impact of CECL plus 25% of the cumulative quarterly changes in the allowance for credit losses (i.e., quarterly transitional amounts). After two years, starting onJanuary 1, 2022 , the quarterly transitional amounts along with the initial adoption impact of CECL will be phased out of CET1 capital over a three-year period. During 2022, OFG redeemed all of its$36.1 million subordinated capital notes and, as a result, OFG's tier 1 capital was reduced by the corresponding$35.0 million qualified trust preferred securities, which were previously included in tier 1 capital. The risk-based capital ratios presented in Table 17 include common equity tier 1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital as ofDecember 31, 2022 and 2021 and are calculated based on the Basel III capital rules related to the measurement of capital, risk-weighted assets and average assets. 62

FromDecember 31, 2021 toDecember 31, 2022 , leverage capital ratio increased from 9.69% to 10.36%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased from 14.27% to 13.64%, total risk-based capital ratio decreased from 15.52% to 14.89%, common equity tier 1 capital ratio decreased from 13.77% to 13.64%, and tangible common equity to tangible total assets decreased from 9.69% to 9.59%. The decreases in capital ratios reflected common stock repurchases of$64.1 million during 2022 and an increase in risk-weighted assets, partially offset by increase in retained earnings from net income. Risk-weighted assets increased, mainly from higher loan and investment portfolios atDecember 31, 2022 . Also, during 2022, OFG completed the redemption and cancellation of its subordinated capital notes, further reducing tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital by$35.0 million . Tangible common equity was also affected by$98.6 million other comprehensive losses during 2022 in available-for-sale securities as a result of increases in market interest rates as a result of recent developments in theU.S. economy, particularly inflationary pressures.

Management and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets or related measures should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders' equity, total assets or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which OFG calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. 64

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. To mitigate these limitations, OFG has procedures in place to calculate these measures using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.
