of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are
 
subject to the safe harbor created by such sections. The Corporation cautions
 
readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward
 
-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and advises readers
 
that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
 
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, estimates
 
and assumptions by us that are difficult to predict. Various
 
factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, but not
 
limited to, the uncertainties more fully discussed in Part I, Item
 
1A, “Risk Factors” of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form
 
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the following, could
 
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in,
 
or implied by, such forward-looking statements: the effect
 
of the current global interest rate environment (including the potential for
 
ongoing reductions in interest rates) and inflation levels on the level, composition
 
and performance of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities, and
 
corresponding effects on the Corporation’s net interest income,
 
net interest margin, loan originations, deposit attrition, overall
 
results of operations, and liquidity position; the effects
 
of changes in the interest rate environment, including any adverse
 
change in the Corporation’s ability to attract and retain clients and
 
gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new
 
products and services,
including those related to the offering of digital banking and financial
 
services; volatility in the financial services industry, which could
 
result in, among other things, bank deposit runoffs, liquidity
 
constraints, and increased regulatory requirements and costs; uncertainty
 
as to the ability of FirstBank to retain its core deposits and generate
 
sufficient cash flow through its wholesale funding sources, which
 
may require us to sell investment securities at a loss; adverse
 
changes in general political and economic conditions in Puerto Rico,
 
the U.S., and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, including in
 
the interest rate environment, unemployment rates, market liquidity,
 
housing absorption rates, real estate markets and U.S. capital
 
markets; general competitive factors and other market risks as well as
 
the implementation of existent or planned strategic growth opportunities,
 
including risks, uncertainties, and other factors or events related
 
to any business acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships,
 
strategic operational investments including system conversions, and
 
any anticipated efficiencies or other expected results related
 
thereto; the impact of litigation or the threat of litigation, including
 
any settlements or judgements against the Corporation, and the
 
potential resulting
 
adverse publicity or other reputational harm; uncertainty as
 
to the implementation of the debt restructuring plan of Puerto
 
Rico and the Fiscal Plan for Puerto Rico as certified on June 6, 2025
 
by the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto
 
Rico, or any revisions to it, on our clients and loan portfolios, and
 
any potential impact from future economic or political developments
 
and tax regulations in Puerto Rico; the impact of government financial
 
assistance for hurricane recovery and other disaster relief
 
on economic activity in Puerto Rico; the timing of sales of properties from
 
our other real estate owned (“OREO”) portfolio; the impacts
of applicable legislative, tax or regulatory changes on the Corporation’s
 
financial condition or performance; and the effect of
 
continued changes in the fiscal, monetary, and trade policies
 
and regulations of the U.S. federal government, the Puerto Rico government
 
and other governments. The Corporation does not undertake and
 
specifically disclaims any obligation to update any “forward
 
-looking statements” to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events
 
or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required
 
by the federal securities laws. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In addition to the Corporation’s financial information presented
 
in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain “non-GAAP”
 
financial measures” within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated
 
by the SEC, to clarify and enhance understanding of past perform
 
ance and prospects for the future. Please refer to pages

3Q25 4Q25 Loan Yields Cost of Funds Key Highlights Net interest
 
income amounted to $222.8 million,
 
an increase of $4.9 million vs. the prior quarter; the increase
 
primarily reflects: A $2.5 million decrease in interest expense mostly
 
due to lower average balances on interest-bearing checking
 
and savings accounts and lower rates paid during the quarter particularly
 
on government deposits, partially offset by an increase
 
in interest expense on non-brokered time deposits due to higher average
 
balances A $1.6 million net increase in interest income on investments and
 
cash balances due to purchases of higher yielding investments
 
replacing lower yielding securities resulting in a 33-bps improvement
 
in yield, partially offset by a decrease in interest income from
 
lower cash balances and the reduction in fed funds rate, and a $0.8 million
 
net increase in interest income on loans mostly due to higher
 
average balances of commercial and residential mortgage loans Net
 
interest margin increased during the quarter by 11 basis point to
 
4.68%, mostly reflecting the improvement from the deployment
 
of cash flows from lower yielding securities to higher yielding
 
interest-earning assets and the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
 
non-maturity deposits (mostly public funds), partially offset by
 
downward repricing on variable-rate commercial loans; NIM expansion
 
included 3 bps associated with interest income collected on a
 
nonaccrual commercial loan and a prepayment penalty on
 
a loan cancellation (1) Average cost of
funds include cost of all interest-bearing deposits, non-interest-bearing
 
deposits, and wholesale funding 8

Related Payroll Related Other Operating Expenses Key Highlights
 
Non-interest income of $34.4 million, compared to $30.8 million
 
in prior quarter; the $3.6 million increase was driven by: A
 
$2.3 million increase in other income, mostly related to $1.8 million
 
in gains from purchased income tax credits A $0.9 million
 
increase in revenues from mortgage banking activities due to higher
 
gains on sales from improved spreads and higher volume of
 
sales A $0.7 million increase in debit and credit card processing
 
income driven by higher transactional fee income Key Highlights Non-interest
 
expenses of $126.9 million,
 
up $2.0 million vs. prior quarter due to: A $3.4 million increase
 
in payroll-related expenses, of which $2.3 million was attributable
 
to the employee retention credit recognized in 3Q 2025 A $2.1
 
million increase in business promotion expenses due to seasonal marketing
 
efforts and a $1.2 million increase in professional fees mostly associated
 
with ongoing IT projects Partially offset by a $1.9 million improvement
 
in results of REO operations mainly due to the $2.8 million valuation adjustment
 
recorded in 3Q 2025 and a decrease in the FDIC deposit insurance
 
expense of $1.3 million Efficiency ratio relatively stable at 49%, below
 
the 52% operating target 9

2Q25 3Q25 4Q25 Total non-performing assets decreased
 
by $5.3 million to $114.1 million or 0.60% of total assets Decrease
 
in non-performing assets was driven by a $12.0 million payoff of a commercial
 
mortgage loan in Florida, a $3.1 million payoff of a Puerto Rico
 
C&I loan, and a $1.8 million decrease in OREO balances, partially
 
offset by the inflow of two C&I loans in the Puerto Rico region that
 
in aggregate amounted to $11.9 million Inflows to non-accrual
 
loans held for investment
 
were $46.2 million, an increase of $14.0 million when compared
 
to the prior quarter, mostly driven by the inflow of the above-referenced
 
Puerto Rico C&I loans, a $1.2 million increase in residential mortgage inflows,
 
and a $0.7 million increase in consumer loan inflows Loans in
 
early delinquency (i.e., 30-89 days past due accruing loans) amounted
 
to $145.0 million,
 
an increase of $2.1 million vs. 3Q 2025, mostly related to a net
 
increase of $7.0 million in consumer loans, primarily in auto loans,
 
partially offset by the $6.0 million past due C&I loan in Florida
 
that was restored to “current” status in 4Q 2025 10

million, up $2.0 million vs. prior quarter; the ratio of the ACL on
 
loans and finance leases to total loans held for investment increased
 
to 1.90% Variance was mainly related to a $3.1 million increase
 
in the ACL for commercial and residential mortgage loans mostly due to
 
portfolio growth, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease
 
in the consumer ACL due to improved macroeconomic variables Net charge
 
-offs of $20.4 million,
 
0.63% of average loans, compared to $19.9 million or 0.62%
 
in prior quarter, increase mostly driven by slightly higher unsecured
 
consumer charge-offs and a $0.3 million recovery from a construction
 
loan in Florida in 3Q25 Key Highlights Total stockholders’
 
equity amounted to $2.0 billion, an increase of $48.8 million vs.
 
the prior quarter, driven by earnings generated during the quarter
 
and the $38.3 million increase in the fair value of available-for-sale
 
debt securities due to changes in market rates recognized as part of accumulated
 
other comprehensive loss Partially offset by $50.0 million in common
 
stock repurchases and $28.3 million in common stock dividends
 
declared during the fourth quarter All regulatory ratios remain
 
significantly above “well-capitalized” levels 11

Fourth Quarter 2025 Appendix - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Basis of Presentation: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP
 
financial measures are used when management believes
 
that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances
 
the ability of analysts and investors to analyze trends in the Corporation’s
 
business and understand the performance of the Corporation. Where
 
non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most comparable GAAP financial
 
measure, as well as the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial
 
measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can
 
be found in the text or in the attached tables to this earnings presentation.
 
Any analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures should be used
 
only in conjunction with results presented in accordance
 
with GAAP. Tangible Common Equity Ratio and Tangible
 
Book Value per Common Share The tangible common equity ratio
 
and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial
 
measures that management believes are generally used by the financial
 
community to evaluate capital adequacy. Tangible common
 
equity is total common equity less goodwill and other intangibles.
 
Tangible assets are total assets less goodwill and other
 
intangibles. Management and many stock analysts use the tangible common
 
equity ratio and tangible book value per common share
 
in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios 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 method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions.
 
Accordingly,
 
the Corporation believes that disclosure of these financial measures
 
may be useful to investors. Neither tangible common equity
 
nor tangible assets, or the 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 way the Corporation calculates its tangible
 
common equity, tangible assets, and any other related measures
 
may differ from that of other companies reporting measures
 
with similar names. (In thousands, except ratios and per share

pre-provision income is a non-GAAP performance metric that
 
management uses and believes that investors may find useful in analyzing
 
underlying performance trends, particularly in times of economic
 
stress, including as a result of natural catastrophes or health epidemies.
 
Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, as defined by management,
 
represents income before income taxes adjusted to exclude the provision
 
for credit

are not reflective of core operating performance. (S in thousands)

Fourth Quarter 2025 Appendix - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Special Items Certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted
 
non-interest expenses, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted
 
net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted return on average
 
assets, and adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, exclude the effect
 
of items that management believes are not reflective of core operating performance
 
(the “Special Items”). The financial results for the quarter ended December
 
31, 2025, included the following Special Items: Enactment of Act 65-2025
 
- On July 17, 2025, the Government of Puerto Rico enacted
 
Act 65-2025 which, among other things, allows domestic limited
 
liability companies owned by legal entities to elect to be treated
 
as disregarded entities for tax purposes. As a result of this change, during
 
the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation reversed approximately $16.6
 
million in valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets
 
primarily associated with NOL carryforwards at the holding company
 
level. This reversal reflects the Corporation’s expectation
 
of realizing these tax benefits under the new election established
 
by the Act. Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) - During the third
 
quarter of 2025, the Corporation recognized a $2.3 million ERC, net
 
of $0.3 million in related commissions. This amount is reflected
 
in the condensed consolidated statements of income as part of “employees’
 
compensation and benefits” expenses. This credit was established
 
under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
 
to support businesses that retained employees during the COVID
 
-19 pandemic. The credit recorded during the third quarter of
 
2025 is tax exempt for Puerto Rico tax purposes. FDIC Special Assessment
 
Expense - A benefit of $1.1 million ($0.7 million after-tax)
 
was recorded for the quarter and year ended December
 
31, 2025, related to amendments to the
FDIC special assessment collection terms. On December 16, 2025, the
 
FDIC issued an interim final rule amending the collection terms
 
of the special assessment, including reducing the collection rate
 
in the eighth collection quarter from 3.36 basis points to 2.97
 
basis points, eliminating the extended assessment
 
period provisions, and providing offsets to regular quarterly
 
deposit insurance assessments if aggregate collections exceed
 
actual losses. As a result of these changes, the Corporation recorded
 
a reversal of the charges of $1.1 million ($0.7 million after-tax) that were
 
recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with
 
the FDIC special assessment imposed to cover expected
 
losses incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund following the failures of
 
certain financial institutions in the first half of 2023. Quarterly
