OFG Bancorp reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, revealing a net income of $53.9 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to $45.6 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in the same period last year. This represents an 18.4% increase in net income year-over-year, driven by a rise in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses. Total interest income for the quarter was $194.1 million, up from $189.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, while interest expense remained relatively stable at $40.3 million, compared to $40.2 million in the prior year.
The company’s total assets decreased to $12.05 billion as of March 31, 2026, down from $12.47 billion at the end of 2025. This decline was primarily attributed to a significant reduction in cash and cash equivalents, which fell to $631.7 million from $1.04 billion, largely due to the transfer of a $500 million government demand deposit into a wealth management account. Loans held-for-investment increased slightly to $8.04 billion, reflecting growth in commercial loans, while total deposits decreased to $9.85 billion from $10.26 billion, influenced by the aforementioned transfer of government deposits.
OFG's provision for credit losses decreased to $22.5 million from $25.7 million in the previous year, indicating improved credit quality. The company reported net charge-offs of $21.4 million, which accounted for 1.05% of average loans, consistent with the previous year. The allowance for credit losses stood at $203.96 million, covering 168.6% of non-performing loans, which decreased to $120.9 million from $130.1 million at the end of 2025.
Strategically, OFG has continued to focus on enhancing its digital banking capabilities and customer engagement. The company launched a new $200 million stock repurchase program in January 2026, complementing its ongoing efforts to return value to shareholders. Additionally, OFG increased its quarterly cash dividend to $0.35 per share from $0.30, reflecting its commitment to capital management. The company remains optimistic about its growth prospects, supported by a stable economic environment in Puerto Rico and ongoing investments in technology and operational efficiencies.
