OFG Bancorp Reports 2Q24 Results

OFG Bancorp (NYSE: OFG), the financial holding company for Oriental Bank, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. EPS diluted of $1.08 compared to $1.05 in 1Q24 and $0.93 in 2Q23. Total core revenues of $179.4 million compared to $174.2 million in 1Q24 and $170.5 million in 2Q23.

CEO Comment

José Rafael Fernández, Chief Executive Officer, said: “The second quarter continued to demonstrate the strength of our strategies and franchise. EPS-diluted increased 16.1% year-over-year on a 5.2% increase in total core revenues. We generated strong performance metrics through consistent growth; increased loans, deposits, and non-interest income; and stable credit quality. Our ‘Digital First’ strategy continues to help us expand our retail and business relationships through new and upgraded products, services, and self-service tools. In addition, we implemented close to half of our $50 million share buyback program, purchasing $24.3 million of OFG shares in the open market. At the same time, Puerto Rico’s economy continued to grow and steadily decouple from mainland economic uncertainties. Thanks to our team members for their commitment to making progress possible for our customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities we serve.”

Effective Tax Rate of 28.2% compared to 26.8% in 1Q24 and 32.9% in 2Q23. 2Q24 reflected an expected 2024 ETR of 29.0% due to higher forecasted business activities with preferential tax treatment under the Puerto Rico tax code, coupled with a $0.8 million tax benefit credit in 2Q24 compared to $1.1 million discrete benefit for stock vested in 1Q24.
