Demand Weakening
  • First BanCorp reported net income of $100 million or $0.63 per share for Q3 2025, which included a $16.6 million reversal of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Adjusted for these items, non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.51.
  • Total loans grew by $181 million (5.6% linked quarter annualized), surpassing $13 billion, primarily driven by commercial, construction, and residential mortgage lending. This growth mitigated a slowdown in consumer credit demand, particularly in the auto industry, where total retail sales are down 7% year-to-date as of September.
  • Net interest income reached $217.9 million for the quarter, a $2 million increase from the prior quarter, with a net interest margin of 4.57%. The company expects the net interest margin for the fourth quarter to be "sort of flat".
  • The company repurchased $50 million in common stock during the quarter. The board authorized an additional $200 million share buyback program through 2026, with an expected repurchase cadence of approximately $50 million per quarter.
  • Full-year loan growth guidance was adjusted to 3%-4% from an original 5% due to the slowdown in auto lending.

Guidance Update
Share Buyback
  • First BanCorp reported net income of $100 million for the third quarter of 2025, with adjusted earnings per share growing 13% compared to the prior year.
  • Total loans grew by $181 million (5.6% linked quarter annualized) to surpass $13 billion for the first time since 2010; however, the full-year loan growth guidance was revised to 3% to 4% from an original mid-single-digit expectation due to a slowdown in consumer credit demand, particularly in the auto industry.
  • The company repurchased $50 million in common stock during Q3 2025, and the board authorized an additional $200 million share buyback program expected to be executed through 2026, with a base assumption of repurchasing approximately $50 million per quarter.
  • Expenses for Q3 2025 were $124.9 million, and the expense guidance for the next couple of quarters remains $125 million to $126 million, with the efficiency ratio for the quarter at 50% and expected to stay in the 50% to 52% range.
  • The net interest margin is expected to be "sort of flat" for the fourth quarter of 2025, with increases in net interest income coming from loan portfolio growth.
