This report includes management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the consolidated financial position and financial performance of
Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation" or “Popular"). All accompanying tables, financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report
should be considered an integral part of this analysis.
The Corporation is a diversified, publicly owned financial holding company subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Corporation has operations in Puerto Rico, the United States (“U.S.") mainland and the U.S.
and British Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the Corporation provides retail, mortgage, commercial banking services and auto and equipment
leasing and financing through its principal banking subsidiary, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR"), as well as broker-dealer and
insurance services through specialized subsidiaries. In the U.S. mainland, the Corporation provides retail, mortgage and commercial
banking services, as well as equipment leasing and financing, through its New York-chartered banking subsidiary, Popular Bank (“PB" or
“Popular U.S."), which has branches located in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
presents information about the Corporation’s business segments.
As a financial services company, the Corporation’s earnings are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions in the
markets which we serve. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by the level of business spending and
investment, consumer income, spending and savings, capital market activities, competition, customer preferences, interest rate conditions
and prevailing market rates on competing products.
The Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal and local laws and
regulations. Also, competition with other financial institutions, as well as with non-traditional financial service providers and technology
companies that provide electronic and internet-based financial solutions and services, could adversely affect its profitability.
The Corporation continuously monitors general business and economic conditions, industry-related indicators and trends, competition,
interest rate volatility, credit quality indicators, loan and deposit demand, operational and systems efficiencies, revenue enhancements and
changes in the regulation of financial services companies.
The description of the Corporation’s business contained in Item 1 of the 2025 Form 10-K, while not all inclusive, discusses additional
information about the business of the Corporation. Readers should also refer to “Part I - Item 1A" of the 2025 Form 10-K and “Part II - Item

OVERVIEW
Financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
The Corporation’s net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $278.2 million, an increase of $67.8 million when compared
to net income of $210.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Higher net income was mainly driven by higher net interest income,
higher non-interest income, and lower operating expenses partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses.
Financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 include:
•Net interest income amounted to $693.4 million, an increase of $61.9 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025
driven by higher investments in U.S. Treasury securities at higher yields, loan growth and lower cost of deposits, mainly P.R.
public deposits, partially offset by lower money market investments. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the
second quarter of 2026 was $788.8 million, an increase of $91.6 million when compared to the same quarter for 2025. Net interest
margin expanded by 17 basis points to 3.66% when compared to the same period in 2025. On a taxable equivalent basis, net
interest margin expanded by 32 basis points to 4.17% when compared to the same period in 2025.
•The provision for credit losses amounted to $65.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $17.1 million when
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, driven by higher specific reserves in the BPPR commercial loan portfolio
associated with the unreserved portion of a $155 million nonperforming loan held-in-portfolio ("NPL") transferred to loans held-for-
sale ("LHFS") with a resulting $71 million charge-off and specific reserves related to two commercial and industrial relationships
totaling $129 million that were classified as NPLs during the quarter, partially offset by lower provisions for certain consumer loan
portfolios attributable to improved credit metrics, improved macroeconomic assumptions, net recoveries in the mortgage portfolio
and lower volumes in the auto loan portfolio. Provision for credit losses decreased at PB primarily due to the higher qualitative
reserves established during the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2026, to maintain adequate ACL coverage as well as an
overall improvement in credit quality.
•Non-interest income amounted to $180.5 million, an increase of $12.1 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30,
2025, mainly driven by higher credit and debit card fee income driven by higher activity and purchase volumes including those of
commercial credit cards that benefited from the recent launch of new corporate-focused products.
•Operating expenses amounted to $484.1 million for the quarter, reflecting a decrease of $8.6 million when compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by lower operational loss reserves and lower professional services
expense, partially offset by higher technology and software expenses as a result of our continued investment in technology and
higher business promotion expenses.
•Income tax expense of $45.7 million with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 14.1% during the quarter ended June 30, 2026,
compared to an income tax expense of $47.9 million with an ETR of 18.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 due to higher
exempt income and other tax benefits, including the vesting of stock awards, the purchase of tax credits, and income subject to
preferential tax rates.
•At June 30, 2026, the Corporation’s total assets amounted to $79.0 billion, compared to $75.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The
increase of $3.7 billion was primarily due to an increase in the available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities portfolio, driven by
reinvestment in U.S. Treasury securities, and higher loans held-in-portfolio partially offset by a decrease in held-to-maturity
(“HTM”) investment securities driven by maturities and principal paydowns.
•Deposits amounted to $70.2 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $4.0 billion from December 31, 2025, primarily driven by
growth at BPPR, mainly in P.R. public deposits and commercial deposits.
•Stockholders’ equity amounted to $6.4 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $6.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The Corporation
and its banking subsidiaries continue to be well capitalized. As of June 30, 2026, the Corporation’s tangible book value per
common share was $87.94, an increase of $5.29 from December 31, 2025. The Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio at June 30,
2026 was 16.08%, compared to 15.72% at December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 10-Q contains financial information prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.GAAP")
and non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures when it is determined that these measures provide
meaningful information about the underlying performance of the Corporation’s ongoing operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used by
the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Table of Content
Adjusted net income - Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management monitors whether the impact of certain non-recurring or
infrequent transactions need to be excluded from the results of operations to present what is then considered to be "adjusted net income" of
the Corporation. Management believes that the "adjusted net income" provides meaningful information about the underlying performance of
the Corporation’s ongoing operations. The "adjusted net income" is a non-GAAP financial measure.
There were no non-GAAP adjustments for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis - Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, is presented with its different components in Tables 2 and 3 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2026, as compared with the same period in 2025, segregated by major categories of interest earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.
The main sources of tax-exempt interest income are certain loans and investments in obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and
sponsored entities, and certain obligations of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its agencies and assets held by the Corporation’s
international banking entities. On Tables 2 and 3, the interest income has been converted to a taxable equivalent basis, using the applicable
statutory income tax rates for each period net of interest expense that the Puerto Rico tax law requires to be disallowed, based on an equal
proportion of tax-exempt assets to total assets, and by an allocation of general and administrative expenses attributed to exempt income,
reducing the benefit of the tax-exempt income. The effective yield, on a taxable equivalent basis, will vary depending on the level of these
expenses that are attributed to the available exempt income. Under Puerto Rico tax law, the exempt interest can be deducted up to the
amount of taxable income. Management believes that this presentation provides meaningful information since it facilitates the comparison of
revenues arising from taxable and exempt sources.
Tangible Common Equity and Tangible Assets
Tangible common equity, tangible common equity ratio, tangible assets and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial
measures. Tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share should be used in conjunction with more traditional
bank capital ratios commonly used by banks and analysts to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant
amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase accounting method for mergers and
acquisitions. Return on average tangible common equity is also a measure commonly used by banks and analysts to measure the return
on that tangible common equity. The Corporation presents return on average tangible common equity with and without the impact of
unrealized (gains) losses on AFS securities including those transferred to HTM in the denominator because we believe that adding back the
impact of unrealized (gains) losses on AFS securities including those transferred to HTM to the denominator provides meaningful
information about the Corporation’s return on capital. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “ROTCE” in this Form 10-Q means return on
average tangible common equity as adjusted to add back unrealized (gains) losses on AFS securities, including those transferred to HTM.
Tangible common equity, tangible assets and other related measures should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders'
equity, total assets or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the way the Corporation calculates its tangible
common equity, tangible assets and other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Table 9 provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets as of June 30,
2026 and December 31, 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES / ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform to U.S. GAAP and general practices within
the financial services industry. Various elements of the Corporation’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation
techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments.
Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting estimates with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. The
Corporation has identified as critical accounting estimates those related to: (i) Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments; (ii) Loans
and Allowance for Credit Losses; (iii) Income Taxes; (iv) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; and (v) Pension and Postretirement Benefit
Obligations. For a summary of these critical accounting estimates, refer to the MD&A included in the 2025 Form 10-K. Also, refer to Note 2
to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K for a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies
including those considered critical accounting estimates and to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q
for information on recently adopted accounting standard updates.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income (“NII”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $693.4 million, an increase of $61.9 million, when compared to the
same quarter in 2025. NII growth was attributable to higher income from investments in U.S Treasury Securities, loan growth and lower cost
of deposits by $23.8 million, primarily due to P.R. public deposits. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter of
2026 was $788.8 million, an increase of $91.6 million when compared to the same period in 2025.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the quarter was 3.66%, an increase of 17 basis points when compared to the second quarter of 2025. On a
taxable equivalent basis, NIM for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.17%, higher by 32 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025,
mainly due to higher level of tax-exempt securities and loans. NIM expansion, when compared to the same quarter of the previous year,
was primarily due to higher yields on U.S. Treasury securities and lower deposit costs resulting from the repricing of market-linked high-cost
deposits, mainly P.R. public deposits. Total cost of deposits decreased 21 basis points to 1.57% compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Excluding P.R. public deposits, total deposit costs decreased five basis points to 1.10% compared to the same quarter in 2025.
On a taxable equivalent basis, the main drivers of the increase for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025
were:
•higher income from loans by $40.2 million, mostly due to higher average loan portfolio balances by $2.0 billion across most
portfolios, along with higher yields from auto, leases and mortgage portfolios. When compared to the second quarter of 2025,
loan yields increased three basis points to 7.53%;
•higher income from U.S. Treasury securities of $52.9 million, or 43 basis points, attributable to higher average balances from
purchases and reinvestments in higher-yielding U.S. Treasury securities, including $2.5 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes ("U.S. T-
Notes") purchased in the third quarter of 2025 and $1.1 billion U.S. T-Notes purchased in the second quarter of 2026; and
•lower interest expense on deposits by $23.8 million or 28 basis points. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 28
basis points, driven by repricing of market-linked P.R. public deposits which decreased by 61 basis points to 2.61%, coupled with
a decrease in Popular U.S. deposit costs attributable to repricing across most deposit products;
partially offset by:
•lower income from money market investments by $22.5 million or 76 basis points, as a result of lower average balances, driven
by higher re-investment activity in U.S. Treasury securities and loan growth, coupled with lower yields resulting from declining
short-term market rates during late 2025.

NII for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.4 billion, an increase of $126.5 million when compared to the same period in 2025. The
NII increase was attributable to higher income from U.S. Treasury securities and loan growth, and lower cost on deposits by $62.2 million,
mainly due to lower cost of P.R. public deposits by 64 basis points compared to the same period in 2025. NII on a taxable equivalent basis
(“FTE”) of $1.5 billion, increased $185.5 million when compared with the same period of 2025.
NIM increased 22 basis points to 3.67%. NIM FTE was 4.16%, an increase of 36 basis points when compared to the same period in 2025.
NIM expansion was mainly driven by money market and investments securities yields which increased by 17 basis points, purchases and
re-investments of maturities into higher yielding U.S. Treasury securities, and lower deposit costs resulting mainly from the repricing of P.R.

public market-linked high-cost deposits. Total cost of deposits decreased 24 basis points to 1.57% compared to the same period in 2025.
Excluding P.R. public deposits, total deposit costs decreased seven basis points to 1.09% compared to the same period in 2025.
On a taxable equivalent basis, the main drivers for the six months ended on June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2025:
•higher income from loans by $87.2 million, or four basis points, driven by loan growth particularly across most portfolios, along
with higher loan yields driven by the auto, leases and mortgage portfolios;
•higher income from U.S. Treasury securities by $95.3 million, or 44 basis points, primarily reflecting higher average balances due
to purchases of and reinvestments in higher-yielding U.S. Treasury securities including $2.5 billion of U.S. T-Notes purchased in
the third quarter of 2025 and $1.1 billion U.S. T-Notes purchased in the second quarter of 2026; and
•lower interest expense on deposits by $62.2 million or 24 basis points. The cost of interest-bearing deposits declined by 32 basis
points, driven by a 64 basis point decrease in market-linked P.R. public deposits to 2.63%, coupled with lower deposit costs in
Popular U.S. attributable to repricing of online savings and time deposits;
partially offset by:
•lower income from money market investments by $48.4 million or 76 basis points, reflecting lower average balances and lower
yields attributable to the decline in short-term market rates during late 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses - Loans Held-in-Portfolio and Unfunded Commitments
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses related to loans held-in-portfolio and unfunded
commitments of $65.5 million, an increase of $17.1 million when compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The provision for loan
and lease losses was $65.2 million, an increase of $15.6 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year, and the provision for
unfunded commitments was $0.4 million, an unfavorable variance of $1.5 million, mainly driven by a release of the unfunded commitments
reserve in BPPR during the second quarter of 2025.
As discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation estimates the ACL by weighting the outputs of optimistic,
baseline, and pessimistic scenarios. Among the three scenarios evaluated to estimate the ACL, the baseline scenario was assigned the
highest probability, followed by the pessimistic scenario, and then the optimistic scenario with the lowest probability. There were no changes
to the probability weights assigned during the second quarter of 2026 when compared to June 30, 2025.
The major drivers of the changes in the provision for loan losses during the quarter by business segment when compared to the same
quarter in 2025, were as follows:
•In the BPPR segment, the provision for loan losses was $61.7 million, an increase of $18.6 million. The increase was primarily
attributable to a $51.4 million increase in provision expense for the commercial loan portfolio, reflecting higher specific reserves,
including a portion of the $71.3 million charge-off related to a $155.0 million non-performing loan transferred to held-for-sale that
had not been previously reserved, as well as specific reserves for two commercial and industrial loans totaling $129.0 million that
were placed on non-performing status during the second quarter of 2026. This increase was partially offset by a $32.7 million
decrease in provision expense for the consumer and mortgage loan segments driven by improved credit metrics in the consumer
portfolios and improved macroeconomic assumptions and higher net recoveries in the mortgage loan segment.
•In the Popular U.S. segment, the provision for loan losses was $3.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of
$3.0 million, mainly driven by lower provisions in both the commercial and mortgage segments, with reductions of $1.6 million and
$1.3 million, respectively. The favorable variance was due to higher qualitative reserves for commercial loans established in the
second quarter of 2025, in addition to an overall improvement in credit quality.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses related to loans held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments
amounted to $141.3 million, an increase of $29.0 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The provision for loan losses
was $140.8 million, an increase of $26.1 million, and the provision related to reserves for unfunded commitments was $0.5 million, an
unfavorable variance of $2.9 million, mainly driven by a release of the unfunded commitments reserves by $2.4 million in the six-month
period ended June 30, 2025. The major drivers of the change in the provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2026 by
business segment when compared to the same period in 2025, were as follows:
•In the BPPR segment, the provision for loan losses was $136.2 million, an increase of $39.2 million, driven by higher provision
expense in the commercial loan segment associated with the $71.3 million charge-off mentioned above, partially offset by lower
provision in the mortgage loan portfolio due to higher recoveries recognized, consumer loans with lower reserves, and changes in
macroeconomic forecasts.
•In the Popular U.S. segment, the provision for loan losses was $5.8 million, a decrease of $13.1 million, driven by lower provision
expense in both the commercial and consumer loan segments, due to higher qualitative reserves established in 2025 to address
ACL coverage and improvements in overall credit quality.
At June 30, 2026, the total allowance for credit losses for loans held-in-portfolio amounted to $784.8 million, a decrease of $23.2 million
when compared to December 31, 2025. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans held-in-portfolio was 1.97% at June 30, 2026
compared to 2.05 % at December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the
Corporation’s methodology to estimate its ACL. Refer to the Credit Risk section of this MD&A for a detailed analysis of net charge-offs, non-
performing assets, the allowance for credit losses and selected loan losses statistics.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2026 of $180.5 million, an increase of $12.1 million when compared with the same quarter for
the previous year. The variance was primarily due to:
•higher other service fees by $8.3 million, primarily driven by a $5.9 million increase in debit and credit card fees, reflecting growth
in transaction activity and higher purchase volumes, coupled with a $1.1 million increase in asset management fees driven by
higher assets under management; and
•higher other operating income by $2.4 million, mainly due to a $6.1 million increase in earnings from an investment accounted for
under the equity method that benefited from an unrealized gain of $3.1 million in the valuation of an investment, partially offset by
two items recognized in Q2 2025, a $2.8 million reimbursement of excess interest paid to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service
101
Table of Content
(“IRS”) related to late payment penalties on tax withholdings for intercompany distributions previously disclosed in 2024, and a
$1.2 million cash distribution from the exit of a legacy equity investment.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $346.2 million, an increase of $25.6 million when compared to the same
period of the previous year. The main factors that contributed to the variance were:
•higher other service fees by $16.7 million, primarily driven by an $11.3 million increase in debit and credit card fees, reflecting
growth in transaction activity and higher purchase volumes including those of commercial credit cards, coupled with a $4.3 million
increase in asset management fees driven by higher assets under management; and
•higher other operating income by $6.2 million, primarily reflecting a $10.5 million increase in earnings from an investment
accounted for under the equity method, partially offset by a $3.9 million reimbursement of excess interest paid to the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) related to late payment penalties on tax withholdings for intercompany distributions, and a $1.2 million
cash distribution from the exit of a legacy equity investment.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $484.1 million, a decrease of $8.6 million when compared to the same quarter of
2025. The main drivers of the variance were:
•lower other operating expenses by $10.4 million, attributable to a $5.6 million decrease in insurance claim reserves compared to
the second quarter of 2025 and a $3.1 million decrease in reserves for operational losses; and
•lower professional fees by $3.6 million, primarily reflecting lower advisory fees associated with corporate initiatives and regulatory
compliance activities,
partially offset by:
•higher technology and software expenses by $6.3 million, primarily reflecting increased software cost amortization driven by
continued investments in technology and transformation initiatives, together with higher IT consulting fees; partially offset by lower
network management service expenses.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $951.4 million, a decrease of $12.3 million when compared to the same
period of 2025. The variance was primarily due to:
•lower other operating expenses by $19.1 million, primarily due to lower reserves for operational losses by $5.2 million and lower
insurance claim reserves by $5.6 million, higher gains on the sale of OREO properties by $3.2 million and a $2.4 million decrease
in pension expense due to a lower discount rate used in the actuarial analysis when compared to the same period of 2025;
•lower professional fees by $4.9 million, primarily driven by lower advisory expenses associated with corporate initiatives and
regulatory compliance activities;
partially offset by:
•higher technology and software expenses by $11.7 million, primarily attributable to increases in software cost amortization,
equipment depreciation, and IT consulting fees driven by continued investments in technology and transformation initiatives;
partially offset by lower application and network management service charges; and
•higher personnel costs by $3.0 million, mainly due to a $4.1 million increase in salaries driven by higher headcount and annual
salary revisions, together with a $3.2 million increase in other compensation expenses; partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease
in profit-sharing expense when compared to the same period of 2025.

The net deferred tax asset related to the U.S. Operations was $219.2 million, net of a valuation allowance of $386.6 million.
Refer to Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on deferred tax asset balances.
REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS
The Corporation’s reportable segments for managerial reporting purposes consist of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Popular U.S. A
Corporate group has also been defined to support the reportable segments.
For a description of the Corporation’s reportable segments, including additional financial information and the underlying management
accounting process, refer to Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The corporate group reported a net income of $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with a net income of $3.3 million
for the same quarter of the previous year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the corporate group reported a net income of $13.2
million, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the same period of the previous year, mainly due to higher income from equity method
investments. There were no intercompany distributions between the U.S. subsidiaries and the bank holding companies.
Highlights on the earnings results for the reportable segments are discussed below:

Table of Content
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
The Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”) reportable segment’s net income amounted to $232.9 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2026, higher by $48.4 million when compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The main drivers for a higher income included:
•net interest income increased $51.4 million to $589.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher income from money
market and investment securities by $10.1 million or three basis points mainly driven by higher income of U.S. Treasury securities
and by higher income from loans by $20.9 million driven by loan growth across most portfolios. The increase was also attributable
to a $20.1 million, or 28 basis point, decrease on interest expense from deposits, primarily due to a 61 basis point reduction in the
cost of market-linked Puerto Rico public deposits driven by a decline in short-term market rates when compared to the same
period in 2025. NIM expanded 17 basis points to 3.85%. Deposit costs, at 1.32%, were lower by 21 basis points;
•higher non-interest income by $10.1 million mainly due to higher service fees by $7.9 million driven by higher debit and credit card
fees due to higher transaction activity and higher purchase volumes, as well as an increase in asset management fees;
•lower operating expenses by $4.1 million mostly due to lower operational loss reserves by $9.0 million, partially offset by higher
technology and software expenses by $3.1 million due to continuing investments in technology and transformation initiatives and
higher professional fees by $1.1 million; and
•lower income tax expense by $3.5 million mainly due to higher exempt income;
partially offset by:
•higher provision for credit losses by $18.6 million which resulted in a provision of $61.8 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2026. Refer to section "Provision for credit losses-Loans held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments" in this MD&A for more
discussion over the drivers of the provision for credit losses by business segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the BPPR segment recorded a net income of $437.3 million compared to a net income of $350.4
million for the same period of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the variance in the financial results included the following:
•net interest income increased $97.5 million to $1.2 billion compared with the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily
driven by higher income from loans by $41.0 million driven by loan growth across most portfolios and higher income from money
market and investment securities by $6.7 million mainly driven by U.S. Treasury securities, partially offset by lower income from
money market investments. The increase was also attributable to a $49.5 million, or 30 basis points, decrease in interest expense
on deposits, primarily due to a 64 basis point reduction in the cost of market-linked Puerto Rico public deposits driven by a decline
in short-term market rates. NIM expanded 20 basis points to 3.86%. Deposit costs, at 1.31%, were lower by 23 basis points;
•higher non-interest income by $17.3 million mainly due to higher service fees by $14.8 mainly due to higher debit and credit card
fees driven by higher transaction activity and higher purchase volumes, as well as an increase in asset management fees;
•lower operating expenses by $6.3 million mostly due to lower operational losses by $11.0 million and higher gains on repossessed
unit sales by $3.2 million, partially offset by higher technology and software expenses by $4.7 million due to continuing
investments in technology and transformation initiatives, and higher personnel costs by $2.1 million mainly due to an increase in
salaries expenses driven by exempt employees; and
•lower income tax expense by $6.4 million due mainly to higher exempt income;
partially offset by:
•the provision for credit losses increased by $39.2 million to $135.1 million. Refer to section "Provision for credit losses-Loans
held-in-portfolio and unfunded commitments" in this MD&A for more discussion over the drivers of the provision for credit losses
by business segment.
Popular U.S.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the reportable segment of Popular U.S. reported a net income of $36.6 million, compared with a net
income of $22.6 million for the same quarter of the previous year. The main drivers for higher net income are the following:
•Net interest income increased $10.9 million to $113.1 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher income from loans

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the reportable segment of Popular U.S. recorded a net income of $73.6 million, compared with a
net income of $37.4 million for the same period of the previous year. The factors that contributed to the variance in the financial results
included the following:
•Net interest income increased $29.6 million to $224.8 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher income from loans
resulting from higher average balances and yields in the commercial portfolio. The increase also benefited from a $16.1 million, or
34 basis point, decrease in deposit interest expense, primarily due to repricing across most deposit products driven by a decline
in short-term market rates; and

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
Assets
The Corporation’s total assets were $79.0 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $75.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The variance in total
assets of $3.7 billion was driven by an increase in AFS securities and loan growth across most portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in
HTM securities. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition included in this report and to the following narrative for
additional information.
Money market investments and investment securities
Money market investments decreased by $71.0 million as of June 30, 2026, when compared to December 31, 2025, due to the use of funds
for loan growth and to the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities. AFS securities increased $4.2 billion, driven by investment in U.S. Treasury
securities of $4.5 billion, partially offset by maturities and principal paydowns, mainly in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and higher
unrealized losses in AFS securities of $94.0 million. HTM securities decreased by $1.1 billion driven by maturities, partially offset by the
accretion of $90.8 million of the discount related to U.S. Treasury securities previously reclassified from AFS to HTM. Refer to Note 5 and to
Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information with respect to the Corporation’s debt securities available-for-
sale and held-to-maturity.
Loans
Loans held-in-portfolio were $39.7 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $422.3 million when compared to December 31, 2025. In the
BPPR segment loan balances increased by $318.2 million, mainly in the mortgage, commercial and construction portfolios. The Popular
U.S. segment also increased by $104.1 million mainly due to higher commercial real estate loans, partially offset by lower commercial multi-
family and runoff from the exited residential mortgage business.
At June 30, 2026, the Corporation’s loans to non-depository financial institutions (‘’NDFIs’’) amounted to $551.4 million, an increase of $6.4
million, compared to December 31, 2025. This increase was related to higher mortgage credit intermediaries by $24.8 million, mostly in
Popular Bank, partially offset by decreases of $11.2 million in consumer and commercial credit intermediaries and $7.2 million in insurance
companies. At June 30, 2026, the Corporation’s exposure to NDFIs was composed of $262.1 million to insurance companies for general
corporate purposes unrelated to lending activities, $162.7 million related to consumer and commercial credit intermediaries, and $126.5
million related to mortgage credit intermediaries. All loans to NDFIs are current in their contractual payments and carry a ‘pass’ rating.
Refer to Table 5 for a breakdown of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. Also, refer to Note 7 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
detailed information about the Corporation’s loan portfolio composition and loan purchases and sales.

Other assets
Other assets amounted to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $56.2 million when compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2025.
The variance was mainly driven by an increase of $33.6 million in investments under the equity method, primarily due to the equity pickup
from our investment in BHD, and an increase in prepaid taxes, mainly municipal taxes of $22.4 million. Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a breakdown of the principal categories that comprise the caption of “Other Assets” in the Consolidated Statements
of Financial Condition at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Liabilities
The Corporation’s total liabilities were $72.5 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $3.4 billion, when compared to December 31, 2025. The
following is a discussion of the significant changes in liabilities.
Deposits and Borrowings
Total Deposits
The Corporation’s deposits totaled $70.2 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $66.2 billion as of December 31, 2025. Ending deposit
balances increased by $4.0 billion, while average quarterly balances grew by $3.0 billion. The average deposit balance, excluding P.R.
public deposits, increased by $1.2 billion.
At the end of the second quarter of 2026, P.R. public deposits were $22.7 billion, representing 32% of total deposits. P.R. public deposits are
expected to range between $20 billion and $22 billion through the end of 2026. However, the rate at which public deposit balances may
change is uncertain and difficult to predict. The amount and timing of any such change is likely to be impacted by, for example, the level of
federal assistance and speed at which it is distributed, the use of local funds to cover federal assistance programs during the U.S.
government shutdown, the financial condition, liquidity and cash management practices of the Puerto Rico Government and its
instrumentalities, and the implementation of fiscal and debt adjustment plans approved pursuant to PROMESA or other actions mandated
by the Fiscal Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”) or by reductions in federal funding available for
Puerto Rico. P.R. public deposits costs are generally indexed to changes in short-term market rates with a one-quarter lag, in accordance
with contractual terms. As a result, these deposits’ costs have typically lagged variable asset repricing. These deposits require that the bank
pledge high credit quality securities as collateral; therefore, liquidity risks arising from deposit outflows are lower. Total deposit costs,
excluding P.R. public deposits, demonstrate the stability of core deposits, low cost and low betas.
The volume and cost of P.R. public deposits and the proportion of high-cost deposits in the U.S. directly impact the balance and mix of
earning assets and therefore represent a key factor in the Corporation’s ability to expand its net interest margin.

Borrowings
The Corporation’s borrowings totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 12 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on the Corporation’s borrowings. Also, refer to the Liquidity section in this MD&A
for additional information on the Corporation’s funding sources.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity totaled $6.4 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $183.9 million when compared to December 31, 2025. The
increase was principally due to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $523.9 million, the amortization of unrealized losses
from securities previously reclassified to HTM of $72.6 million and a favorable variance in foreign currency translation adjustments of $22
million from our investment in BHD, partially offset by the after-tax effect of higher net unrealized losses in the AFS securities portfolio of
$74.9 million and an increase in treasury stock of $277.9 million, mainly due to common stock repurchases, and common and preferred
dividends declared of $97.5 million. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Comprehensive Income and Changes in
Stockholders’ Equity for information on the composition of stockholders’ equity.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Popular repurchased 1,988,767 shares of common stock for $280.5 million at an average price
of $141.04 per share.

CAPITAL
Regulatory Capital
The Corporation, BPPR and PB are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. The risk-based
capital standards applicable to the Corporation, BPPR and PB (“Basel III capital rules") are based on the final capital framework for
strengthening international capital standards, known as Basel III, of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. As of June 30, 2026, the
Corporation’s, BPPR’s and PB’s capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized".

The Basel III capital rules provide that a depository institution is deemed to be well capitalized if it maintains a leverage ratio of at least 5%,
a common equity Tier 1 ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based ratio of at least 10%. The
Corporation, BPPR and PB leverage ratio, common equity Tier 1 ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio, respectively as of June 30, 2026, continue to
exceed the minimum requirements for being “well-capitalized" under the Basel III capital rules.
The increase in the common equity Tier I capital ratio, Tier I capital ratio, and total capital ratio, as of June 30, 2026 as compared to
December 31, 2025 was mainly due to the six month period's earnings, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock, common stock
dividends, and higher risk weighted assets driven by the increase in loans held-in-portfolio. The decrease in the leverage ratio was driven by
higher total assets which are impacted by zero-risk weighted assets that did not have a significant impact on the risk weighted assets,
partially offset by the six month period's earnings.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Market / Interest Rate Risk
The Corporation’s assets that are mainly subject to market valuation risk are debt securities classified as available-for-sale. Refer to Note 5
and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity
portfolios. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity amounted to $24.8 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively, as of
June 30, 2026. Other assets subject to market risk include mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") with a fair value of $94.5 million as of
June 30, 2026.
Interest Rate Risk (“IRR")
The Corporation’s net interest income is subject to various categories of interest rate risk, including repricing, basis, yield curve and option
risks. In managing interest rate risk, management may alter the mix of floating and fixed rate assets and liabilities, change pricing
schedules, adjust maturities through sales and purchases of investment securities, and enter into derivative contracts, among other
alternatives.
Management utilizes various tools to assess IRR, including NII simulation modeling, static gap analysis, and Economic Value of Equity
(“EVE") to monitor the risk arising from the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities subject to IRR. The three methodologies
complement each other and are used jointly in the evaluation of the Corporation’s IRR. NII simulation modeling is prepared for a five-year
period, which in conjunction with the EVE analysis, provides management a better view of long-term IRR.
The Corporation processes NII simulations under interest rate scenarios in which the yield curve is assumed to rise and decline by the same
magnitude (parallel shifts). The rate scenarios considered in these market risk simulations include instantaneous parallel changes of -100,
-200, +100, and +200 basis points during the succeeding twelve-month period. Assumptions included in these analyses include that the
balance sheet remains flat, relative levels of market interest rates across all yield curve points and indexes, interest rate spreads, loan
prepayments and deposit elasticity. Thus, they should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results and do not contemplate actions that
109
Table of Content
management may engage in as a response to future changes in interest rates. Additionally, the Corporation is also subject to the risk
inherent in the use of different rate indexes for the repricing of assets and liabilities, as well as the risk of pricing lags due to contractual or
timing differences between the market and management response to changes in the rate environment. These forward-looking computations
are management’s best estimate based on known and available information and actual results may differ.
The following table presents the results of the simulations at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, assuming a static balance sheet and
parallel changes over flat spot rates over a one-year time horizon:
Table 10 - Net Interest Income Sensitivity (One Year Projection)
June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025
(Dollars in thousands) Amount Change Percent Change Amount Change Percent Change
Change in interest rate

-100 basis points 5,040 0.17 2,691 0.10
-200 basis points 16,617 0.58 7,488 0.27
As of June 30, 2026, NII simulations showed that the Corporation’s sensitivity position was liability sensitive. The variation in results as
compared to December 31, 2025, was mainly due to an increase in market-linked Puerto Rico public sector deposits, partly offset by an
increase in U.S. Treasury Bills. The profile reflects that in rising rate scenarios, the Corporation's net interest income would slightly decline
during the one-year horizon due mainly to the large proportion of market-linked Puerto Rico public sector deposits, offset in part by variable
rate loan repricing and intermediate maturity assets coming due within one year.
The Corporation’s loan and investment portfolios are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk also could have a significant impact on
the duration of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.
Trading
The Corporation engages in trading activities in the ordinary course of business at its subsidiaries, BPPR and Popular Securities. Popular
Securities’ trading activities consist primarily of market-making activities to meet expected customers’ needs related to its retail brokerage
business, and purchases and sales of U.S. Government and government sponsored securities with the objective of realizing gains from
expected short-term price movements. BPPR’s trading activities consist primarily of holding U.S. Government sponsored mortgage-backed
securities and economic hedges of the related market risk with “TBA” (to-be-announced) market transactions. In addition, BPPR uses
forward contracts or TBAs that have characteristics similar to that of the forecasted security and its conversion timeline to hedge its
securitization pipeline.
At June 30, 2026, the Corporation held trading securities with a fair value of $31.2 million, representing 0.04% of the Corporation’s total
assets, compared with $36.6 million and 0.05%, respectively, at December 31, 2025. The trading portfolio consists principally of investment
grade securities such as mortgage-backed securities of $26.7 million with a weighted average yield of 5.04% and U.S. Treasuries of $3.7
million with a weighted average yield of 2.00% at June 30, 2026 and $23.4 million with a yield of 5.20% and $12.5 million with a yield of
2.57%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.
The Corporation’s trading activities are limited by internal policies. For each of the two subsidiaries, the market risk assumed under trading
activities is measured by the 5-day net value-at-risk (“VAR"), with a confidence level of 99%. The VAR measures the maximum estimated
loss that may occur over a 5-day holding period, given a 99% probability.
The Corporation’s trading portfolio had a 5-day VAR of $0.4 million for the last week in June 2026. VAR models include assumptions and
estimates thus actual results could differ from the outputs from these models and assumptions. Back-testing is performed on model results
to compare actual results against maximum estimated losses, in order to evaluate model and assumptions accuracy.
In the opinion of management, the size and composition of the trading portfolio does not represent a significant source of market risk for the
Corporation.
Liquidity
Liquidity Risk Management Process
The Corporation has adopted policies and limits to monitor the Corporation’s liquidity position and that of its banking subsidiaries. Refer to
the Enterprise Risk Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2025 Form 10-K for information on the
framework in place to monitor, review, and approve policies to measure, limit and manage funding activities and strategies impacting
liquidity risk. Additionally, contingency funding plans are used to model various stress events of different magnitudes that affect different time
110
Table of Content
horizons, to assist management in evaluating the size of the liquidity buffers needed if those events occur. However, such models may not
predict accurately how the market and customers might react to every event and are dependent on many assumptions. The objective of
effective liquidity management is to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient liquidity to meet all its financial obligations, finance expected
future growth, fund planned capital distributions and maintain a reasonable safety margin for cash needs under both normal and stressed
market conditions.
Sources of Liquidity
Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered deposits and public funds deposits, continue to be the most significant source of funds for
the Corporation, representing 89% of funding of the Corporation’s total assets as of June 30, 2026 and 88% as of December 31, 2025. The
ratio of total ending loans to deposits remained at 57% at June 30, 2026 and 59% at December 31, 2025. In addition to traditional deposits,
the Corporation maintains borrowing arrangements, which amounted to $1.5 billion in outstanding balances at June 30, 2026 (December 31,
2025 - $1.4 billion). A detailed description of the Corporation’s borrowings, including their terms, is included in Note 12 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Also, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements provide
information on the Corporation’s cash inflows and outflows.
The following sections provide further information on the Corporation’s major funding activities and needs, as well as the risks involved in
these activities.
Banking Subsidiaries
Primary sources of funding for the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries (BPPR and PB or, collectively, “the banking subsidiaries") include
retail, commercial and public sector deposits, brokered deposits, unpledged investment securities, mortgage loan securitization and, to a
lesser extent, loan sales. In addition, the Corporation maintains borrowing facilities with the FHLB and at the discount window of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (the “FRB") and has a considerable amount of collateral pledged that can be used to raise funds under these
facilities.
At June 30, 2026, the Corporation’s available liquidity decreased to $26.3 billion from $27.0 billion on December 31, 2025. During the
second quarter of 2026, the Corporation continued to have significant on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet sources of liquidity. The
liquidity sources of the Corporation at June 30, 2026 are presented in Table 11 below:

Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information of the Corporation’s borrowing facilities available
through its banking subsidiaries.
The principal uses of funds for the banking subsidiaries include loan originations, investment portfolio purchases, loan purchases and
repurchases, repayment of outstanding obligations (including deposits), advances on certain serviced portfolios and operational expenses.
Also, the banking subsidiaries assume liquidity risk related to collateral posting requirements for certain activities mainly in connection with
contractual commitments, recourse provisions, servicing advances, derivatives and credit card licensing agreements.
The banking subsidiaries maintain sufficient funding capacity to address large increases in funding requirements such as deposit outflows.
The Corporation has established liquidity guidelines that require the banking subsidiaries to have sufficient liquidity to cover all short-term
borrowings and a portion of deposits.
Deposits are a key source of funding. Refer to Table 6 for a breakdown of deposits by major types. Core deposits are generated from a
large base of consumer, corporate and public sector customers. Core deposits include certificates of deposit under $250,000, all interest-
bearing transactional deposit accounts, non-interest-bearing deposits, and savings deposits. Core deposits exclude brokered deposits and
certificates of deposit over $250,000. Core deposits, excluding P.R. public funds, which are fully collateralized, have historically provided the
111
Table of Content
Corporation with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. P.R. public funds, while linked to market interest rates, provide a
stable source of funding with an attractive earning spread. As of June 30, 2026, total Puerto Rico public sector deposits were $22.7 billion,
compared to $19.4 billion at December 31, 2025.
Core deposits represented 91% of total deposits at $64.1 billion, as of June 30, 2026, compared with 92% at $60.9 billion as of
December 31, 2025. Core deposits financed 84% of the Corporation’s earning assets at June 30, 2026, compared to 85% at December 31,
2025.
The distribution by maturity of certificates of deposit with denominations of $250,000 and over at June 30, 2026 is presented in the table that
follows:

Over 3 to 12 months 1,059,243
Over 1 year to 3 years 317,536
Over 3 years 124,493
Total $4,298,816
The Corporation had $1.0 billion in brokered deposits at June 30, 2026, which financed approximately 1% of its total assets (December 31,
2025 - $1.0 billion and 1%, respectively).
As of June 30, 2026, the banking subsidiaries had sufficient current and projected liquidity sources to meet their anticipated cash flow
obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments, in the ordinary course of business and have sufficient liquidity
resources to address a stress event. Although the banking subsidiaries have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and
advances, no assurance can be given that they would be able to replace those funds in the future if the Corporation’s financial condition or
general market conditions were to deteriorate. The Corporation’s financial flexibility would be severely constrained if the banking
subsidiaries are unable to maintain access to funding or if adequate funding is not available to accommodate future financing needs at
acceptable interest rates. The banking subsidiaries also are required to deposit cash or qualifying securities to meet margin requirements on
repurchase agreements, deposit agreements and other collateralized borrowing facilities. To the extent that the value of securities previously
pledged as collateral declines because of market changes, the Corporation will be required to deposit additional cash or securities to meet
its margin or collateral requirements and would need to rely more heavily on alternative funding sources. In these scenarios, the
Corporation’s financial flexibility and ability to grow revenues may not increase proportionately to cover costs and profitability would be
adversely affected.
The Corporation considers balances in excess of $250,000 to have a higher potential liquidity risk. Table 13 reflects the aggregate balance
in deposit accounts in excess of $250,000, including collateralized public funds and deposits outside of the U.S. and its territories.
Collateralized public funds, as presented in Table 13, represent public deposit balances from governmental entities in the U.S. and its
territories, including Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, collateralized based on such jurisdictions’ applicable collateral
requirements.

Bank Holding Companies
The principal sources of funding for the BHCs, which are Popular, Inc. (holding company only) and PNA, include cash on hand, investment
securities, dividends received from banking and non-banking subsidiaries, asset sales, credit facilities available from affiliate banking
subsidiaries and proceeds from potential securities offerings. Dividends from banking and non-banking subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory limits and authorization requirements imposed by banking regulators, including the FED and the NYDFS, that may limit the ability
of those subsidiaries to act as a source of funding to the BHCs.
The principal uses of these funds include the repayment of debt, interest payments to holders of senior debt and junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures (related to trust preferred securities), the payment of dividends to common stockholders, repurchases of the
Corporation’s securities and capitalizing its subsidiaries.
The outstanding balance of notes payable at the BHCs amounted to $595.7 million at June 30, 2026 and $595.0 million December 31,
2025.
The contractual maturities of the BHCs notes payable at June 30, 2026 are presented in Table 14.
Table 14 - Distribution of BHC's Notes Payable by Contractual Maturity
Year (In thousands)
2028 $397,277
Later years 198,413
Total $595,690
As of June 30, 2026, the BHCs had cash and money markets investments totaling $316 million and borrowing potential of $165 million from
its secured facility with BPPR. The BHCs’ liquidity position continues to be adequate with sufficient cash on hand, investments and other
sources of liquidity that are expected to be sufficient to meet all interest payments and dividend obligations for the foreseeable future.
Additionally, the Corporation’s latest quarterly paid dividend was $0.75 per share or approximately $48.1 million per quarter.
The BHCs have in the past borrowed in the corporate debt market primarily to finance their non-banking subsidiaries and refinance debt
obligations. These sources of funding are more costly given that two out of three principal credit rating agencies rate the Corporation’s debt
securities below “investment grade". The Corporation has a shelf registration statement filed and effective with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, which permits the Corporation to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity securities.
Non-Banking Subsidiaries
The principal sources of funding for the non-banking subsidiaries include internally generated cash flows from operations, loan sales,
repurchase agreements, capital injections and borrowed funds from their direct parent companies or the holding companies. The principal
uses of funds for the non-banking subsidiaries include repayment of maturing debt, operational expenses and payment of dividends to the
BHCs.
Dividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Corporation declared cash dividends of $1.50 per common share outstanding ($96.8
million in the aggregate). The dividends for the Corporation’s Series A preferred stock amounted to $0.7 million for the six months ended on
June 30, 2026. On July 23, 2026, the Corporation announced an increase in its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.75 to $0.90 per
share, commencing with the dividend payable in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to the approval by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
113
Table of Content
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the BHCs received dividends and distributions amounting to $175 million from BPPR and $30
million from its other non-banking subsidiaries. Dividends from BPPR constitute Popular, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity. In addition, during
the six months ended June 30, 2026, PIBI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Popular, Inc., had no dividends.
In addition to regulatory limits previously discussed, the ability of a bank subsidiary to up-stream dividends to its BHC could be impacted by
its financial performance and capital, including tangible and regulatory capital, thus potentially limiting the amount of cash up-streamed to
the BHCs from the banking subsidiaries. This could, in turn, affect BHC’s ability to declare dividends on its outstanding common and
preferred stock, repurchase its securities or meet its debt obligations, for example. At June 30, 2026, BPPR could declare a dividend of up
to approximately $237 million without prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board due to its retained income, declared dividend activity and
transfers to statutory reserves over the measurement period. In addition, pursuant to the FRB requirements, PB may not declare or pay a
dividend without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the NYSDFS.
Other Funding Sources and Capital
In addition to cash reserves held at the FRB that totaled $4.6 billion at June 30, 2026, the debt securities portfolio provides an additional
source of liquidity, which may be realized through either securities sales, collateralized borrowings or repurchase agreements. The
Corporation’s debt securities portfolio consists primarily of liquid U.S. government debt securities, U.S. government sponsored agency debt
securities, U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government sponsored agency collateralized
mortgage obligations that can be used to raise funds in the repo markets. The availability of repurchase agreements would be subject to
having sufficient unpledged collateral available at the time the transactions are consummated, in addition to overall liquidity and risk appetite
of the various counterparties. Refer to Table 11 for details of the Corporation’s unpledged debt securities and available credit facilities with
the FHLB and the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank. A substantial portion of these debt securities could be used to raise
financing in the U.S. money markets or from secured lending sources, subject to changes in their fair market value and customary
adjustments (haircuts).
Additional liquidity may be provided through loan maturities, prepayments and sales. The loan portfolio provides a source of collateral to
secure the available credit facilities with the FHLB and the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank. The loan portfolio can also be
used to obtain funding in the capital markets. Mortgage loans and some types of consumer loans, have secondary markets which the
Corporation could use.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation engages in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet or may be
recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different than the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. As a provider of
financial services, the Corporation routinely enters into commitments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financial needs of its customers.
Refer to Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Corporation’s commitments to extend credit and other
non-credit commitments.
Other types of off-balance sheet arrangements that the Corporation enters in the ordinary course of business include derivatives, operating
leases and provision of guarantees, indemnifications, and representation and warranties. Refer Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a detailed discussion related to the Corporation’s guarantees, indemnifications obligations, and representation and
warranties arrangements.
The Corporation monitors its cash requirements, including its contractual obligations and debt commitments.
Financial Information of Guarantor and Issuers of Registered Guaranteed Securities
The principal sources of funding for Popular, Inc. Holding Company (“PIHC”) and Popular North America, Inc. (“PNA”) have included
dividends received from their banking and non-banking subsidiaries subject to statutory provisions that limit dividends paid by the banking
subsidiary without regulatory approval, asset sales and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity.
The Corporation (''PIHC”) is the parent holding company of Popular North America (“PNA") and operates financial services through its
subsidiaries. PNA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Popular, Inc., manages entities such as Equity One, Inc., and PB, including PB’s
subsidiaries: Popular Equipment Finance, LLC, Popular Insurance Agency, U.S.A., and E-LOAN, Inc.
PNA has issued junior subordinated debentures guaranteed by PIHC (the “obligor group"), purchased by statutory trusts established by the
Corporation using proceeds from trust preferred securities (“capital securities”) and common securities of the trusts.
PIHC guarantees the junior subordinated debentures issued by PNA. If PIHC fails to make interest payments on the debentures held by the
trust, the trust will not distribute payments on the capital securities. The guarantee ranks subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
other liabilities of PIHC and equally with all other PIHC-issued guarantees, allowing direct legal action against PIHC without involving other
entities.
114
Table of Content
Funding for PIHC and PNA includes dividends from subsidiaries, asset sales, and proceeds from debt and equity issuance. Statutory
provisions limit the dividends an insured depository institution can pay to its holding company without regulatory approval.
The summarized financial information below shows the combined financial position of the obligor group as of June 30, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, and the results of their operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Excluded are
investments and equity in earnings from subsidiaries and affiliates outside the obligor group.
Intercompany balances and transactions within the obligor group have been eliminated. Material amounts due from, due to, and
transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates are shown separately. Related party transactions are also presented separately.

Risk to Liquidity
The Corporation’s liquidity may come under pressure if it experiences significant unexpected cash outflows due to deposit withdrawals,
which could arise from various factors like economic conditions, loss of depositor confidence, competition, exogenous events, regulatory
requirements or changes, a downgrade in credit rating, or other events causing counterparties to avoid exposure.

115
Table of Content
Corporation is impacted by global and local economic and market conditions, including weakness in the economy, particularly in Puerto
Rico, where a significant portion of our business is concentrated. This section also addresses how our credit risk and credit losses can
increase to the extent our loans are concentrated on borrowers engaged in the same or similar activities or in borrowers who as a group
may be uniquely or disproportionately affected by certain economic or market conditions.
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
A significant portion of our financial activities and credit exposure is concentrated in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“Puerto Rico") which
has faced severe economic and fiscal challenges in the past and may face additional challenges in the future.
Economic Performance
Based on the latest estimates of the Puerto Rico Planning Board, real GNP in Puerto Rico is projected to have grown by 0.4% in fiscal year
2026 (July 2025-June 2026) and by 0.3% in fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027). Meanwhile, the Puerto Rico Economic Activity Index
reflected a 0.7% year-over-year decrease in May 2026. While this index is not a direct measure of real GNP, it serves as an indicator of
ongoing economic activity.
In 2021 and 2022, inflation rose sharply in the U.S. and Puerto Rico due to post-pandemic demand and supply chain disruptions. Inflation
began to decrease by mid-2022 as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, largely stabilizing by September 2024, leading to a series of
rate reductions by the Federal Reserve for the first time in four years. As of June 2026, the U.S. Consumer Price Index reflected a 3.5%
year-over-year increase, which, while below peak 2022 levels, remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The annual rate of inflation
has increased since February 2026 (2.4%), primarily driven by higher energy and gasoline prices resulting from the recent geopolitical
conflict involving Iran. In Puerto Rico, the Consumer Price Index reflected a year-over-year increase of 4.6% in May 2026, up from 4% in
April 2026. The full the extent to which the conflict in Iran may impact the global and Puerto Rico economies has yet to be determined.
Fiscal Challenges of Puerto Rico and its Municipalities
As Puerto Rico’s economy contracted in the 2000s, public debt increased rapidly due to borrowing to cover deficits to pay debt service,
pension benefits, and other expenditures. By 2016, the government had over $120 billion in combined debt and unfunded pension liabilities,
lost access to capital markets, and faced a fiscal crisis.
In response, the U.S. Congress enacted PROMESA in June 2016. PROMESA established an Oversight Board with significant control over
Puerto Rico’s fiscal and economic affairs, including those of its public corporations, instrumentalities and municipalities (collectively, “PR
Government Entities”).
In August 2025, President Donald J. Trump dismissed six of the seven members of the Oversight Board, reportedly due to inefficient
leadership and excessive spending. Three of the dismissed members subsequently filed suit in federal court challenging the legality of their
dismissal. On October 3, 2025, the court issued a preliminary injunction that effectively reinstated such members and barred the seating of
replacement members while the case proceeds. Such ruling was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on
December 3, 2025, and the appeal remains pending. It is still too early to determine what impact these developments may have on Puerto
Rico’s fiscal and economic affairs.
Under PROMESA, the Oversight Board will remain in place until market access is restored and balanced budgets are achieved for at least
four consecutive years. PROMESA also established two mechanisms for the restructuring of the obligations of PR Government Entities: (a)
Title III, an in-court process akin to that of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and which permits adjustment of a broad range of obligations, and (b)
Title VI, a largely out-of-court process through which a supermajority of creditors can accept modifications to debt and bind holdouts.
Since 2017, Puerto Rico and several of its instrumentalities have availed themselves of these mechanisms. The Puerto Rico government
exited Title III in March 2022, and several instrumentalities, such as the Government Development Bank and the Puerto Rico Highways and
Transportation Authority have also completed debt restructurings under Titles III or VI of PROMESA. However, the Puerto Rico Electric
Power Authority is still undergoing its debt restructuring.
Puerto Rico's economic difficulties have also impacted its municipalities. Historically, the central government provided significant municipal
subsidies. However, these have decreased pursuant to fiscal measures required by the Oversight Board. This decline has been partly offset
by federal disaster and COVID-relief funding received by municipalities in recent years. The latest Puerto Rico fiscal plan proposes a
restructured grant system to enhance municipal services and encourage accountability through performance metrics.
Municipalities are subject to PROMESA, and the Oversight Board has required certain municipalities to submit fiscal plans and annual
budgets for review and approval. Municipalities are also required to seek Oversight Board approval to issue, guarantee or modify their debts
and to enter into significant contracts. To date no municipality has availed itself of the debt restructuring mechanisms available to them
under PROMESA.

Exposure of the Corporation
The credit quality of BPPR’s loan portfolio is closely tied to the economic conditions in Puerto Rico. Deterioration in the Puerto Rico
economy could potentially increase delinquencies and charge-offs, thereby impacting the Corporation’s financial health. The Corporation
has direct exposure to P.R. Government Entities, which are mainly concentrated in obligations from various Puerto Rico municipalities.
Additionally, the Corporation holds loans and securities insured by P.R. Government Entities, such as the Housing Finance Authority, whose
ability to honor guarantees depends on its financial condition. BPPR’s commercial, mortgage, and consumer loan portfolios are also
exposed to risks from private borrowers who are service providers or have other relationships with the Puerto Rico government and
government employees who could be negatively affected by Puerto Rico’s fiscal challenges. For further discussion of the Corporation’s
direct and indirect exposure to the Puerto Rico government and its instrumentalities and municipalities, please refer to Note 16 –
Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Corporation also maintains significant deposits from P.R. Government Entities, with future balances subject to various uncertainties.
Further information on Puerto Rico Government deposits is included in Note 11 – Deposits to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
United States Virgin Islands
The Corporation has operations in the United States Virgin Islands (the “USVI”) and has credit exposure to USVI government entities. For
further discussion of the Corporation’s direct and indirect exposure to USVI government entities, please refer to Note 16.
Non-Performing Assets ("NPAs")
NPAs include primarily past-due loans that are no longer accruing interest, renegotiated loans, and real estate property acquired through
foreclosure. A summary, including certain credit quality metrics, is presented in Table 17.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Corporation’s overall credit quality metrics remained stable. The quarter included the resolution of a
significant $155.0 million non-performing commercial relationship, which resulted in a $71.3 million charge-off and the transfer of the
remaining $83.7 million carrying amount to loans held-for-sale ("LHFS"). Consumer credit performance continued to improve, supported by
lower losses in the auto portfolio. Commercial NPL inflows increased during the quarter, driven by borrower-specific issues that
management does not view as indicative of broader credit deterioration.
Total NPAs of $546.7 million as of June 30, 2026 increased by $5.9 million when compared with December 31, 2025. Total NPLs of $413.4
million decreased by $84.9 million from December 31, 2025. BPPR’s NPLs decreased by $90.9 million, primarily driven by reductions in
commercial and consumer NPLs of $64.5 million and $21.2 million, respectively. The decline in the commercial NPLs reflects the resolution
of a $155.0 million relationship, described above. The loan was subsequently sold on July 2, 2026. The decrease resulting from the
reclassification of the loan previously mentioned was partially offset by the inflows to commercial NPLs of two unrelated commercial and
industrial relationships of $129 million in the aggregate. These inflows to commercial NPLs stemmed from issues specific to the individual
borrowers and are not indicative of a broader decline in portfolio credit quality or the industries in which the borrowers operate. Popular U.S.
NPLs increased by $6.0 million, mostly driven by higher commercial NPLs by $9.2 million, offset in part by a decrease of $3.2 million in the
mortgage NPLs.
On June 30, 2026, the ratio of NPLs to total loans held-in-portfolio was 1.04%, compared to 1.27% on December 31, 2025. Other real estate
owned loans (“OREOs”) totaled $49.6 million, an increase of $7.1 million from December 31, 2025.
The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio secured by real estate (“CRE’’) amounted to $11.3 billion on June 30, 2026, with $3.3 billion
secured by owner-occupied properties (December 31, 2025 - $11.2 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively).
CRE NPLs amounted to $66.1 million on June 30, 2026, compared with $76.0 million on December 31, 2025. The CRE NPL ratios for the
BPPR and Popular U.S. segments were 0.86% and 0.38%, respectively, on June 30, 2026, compared with 1.23% and 0.25%, respectively,
on December 31, 2025.
The non-owner occupied CRE portfolio was $5.6 billion at June 30, 2026, split between $3.3 billion in BPPR and $2.3 billion in Popular U.S.
This portfolio is diversified across sectors: retail (32%), hotels (19%), and office space (12%) which together represent two-thirds of total
non-owner occupied CRE exposure. Specifically, office space leasing accounts for just 1.7% ($673.6 million) of the total loan portfolio,
mainly comprising mid-rise properties with an average loan size of $2.4 million, and is well diversified by tenant type.
Within CRE, the commercial multi-family portfolio is $2.4 billion (approximately 6% of total loans), concentrated in New York Metro ($1.3
billion), South Florida ($651.9 million) and Puerto Rico ($242.0 million) regions. In the New York Metro, there is no exposure to rent-
controlled buildings and rent-stabilized units make up less than 40% of total units, with most originated after 2019.
In addition to the NPLs included in Table 18, on June 30, 2026, there were $407.8 million of performing loans, mostly commercial loans,
which in management’s opinion, are currently subject to potential future classification as non-performing (December 31, 2025 - $499.6
million).

[1] It is the Corporation’s policy to report delinquent residential mortgage loans insured by FHA or guaranteed by the VA as accruing loans past due 90 days or
more as opposed to non-performing since the principal repayment is insured. These balances include $40 million of residential mortgage loans insured by FHA
or guaranteed by the VA that are no longer accruing interest as of June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $47 million). Furthermore, the Corporation has $25
million in reverse mortgage loans which are guaranteed by FHA, but which are currently not accruing interest. Due to the guaranteed nature of the loans, it is
the Corporation’s policy to exclude these balances from non-performing assets (December 31, 2025 - $27 million).
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, total inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio, excluding consumer loans, increased by $145.3 million, when
compared to the inflows for the same period in 2025. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at the BPPR segment increased by $135.0 million,
compared to the same period in 2025, mainly driven by higher commercial NPL inflows by $134.3 million. Inflows of NPLs held-in-portfolio at
the Popular U.S. segment increased by $10.8 million from the same period in 2025, driven by higher commercial NPL inflows of the same
amount.

Allowance for Credit Losses Loans Held-in-Portfolio
The ACL represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses through the remaining contractual life of the different loan segments,
impacted by expected prepayments. The ACL is maintained at a sufficient level to provide for estimated credit losses on collateral
dependent loans as well as loans modified for borrowers with financial difficulties separately from the remainder of the loan portfolio. The
Corporation’s management evaluates the adequacy of the ACL on a quarterly basis. In this evaluation, management considers current
conditions, macroeconomic economic expectations through a reasonable and supportable period, historical loss experience, portfolio
composition by loan type and risk characteristics, results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans, and regulatory requirements, amongst
other factors.
The Corporation 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
recalibration of statistical models used to calculate lifetime expected losses, changes in underwriting standards, financial accounting
standards and loan impairment measurements, among others. Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic
conditions, and in the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold, may also 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. On June 30,
2026, the ACL amounted to $784.8 million, a decrease of $23.2 million from December 31, 2025. The decline primarily reflects improvement
in consumer credit performance and favorable portfolio and macroeconomic developments.
The ACL for BPPR decreased by $25.6 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The decline was primarily due to a
$24.7 million reduction in reserves for consumer loans, mainly driven by improved credit quality in the auto and credit card portfolios. The
reserve for commercial loans remained flat from December 31, 2025, reflecting the transfer to LHFS of the $155.0 million NPL and related
$71.3 million charge-off, partially offset by higher reserves associated with NPL inflows during the quarter and loan growth. In PB, the ACL
as of June 30, 2026 remained stable at $92.5 million.
