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.
