Due to lower provisioning requirements
Driven by lower pension costs and salaries, mostly due to the
retirement window but partially offset by payroll taxes, incentives
and other benefits
Driven by lower business promotion ($6.4 million)  and a benefit
from
lower provision for unfunded credit commitments ($9.5 million),
partially offset by higher OREO expenses ($4.3 million)
$25.2 million principally due to 80% mirror accounting from the
decrease in provision for loan losses of covered loans
$13.6 million from the covered portfolio related to certain pools of
mortgage loans with lower interest accretion in Q1 (extended average
life estimates) offset by lower interest expense on deposits and
repayment of FDIC note ($6.3 million)
$9.5 million  higher other income mainly due to valuation in
investments accounted for under the equity method and $5.9 million
in other service fees (MSR valuation $11.5 million)
$17.9 million lower net charge offs and $25.3 million  attributed to
the revision of the ALLL methodology for commercial and
construction (US $17.8 million & PR $7.5 million)

Credit Ratings Update
Our senior unsecured ratings have been gradually improving since
2010:
Moody’s:
Ba1
Negative Outlook
S&P:
B+
Stable Outlook
Fitch:
B+
Positive Outlook
April 2012: Moody’s placing most of the PR banks under review with the
possibility of downgrades, due to the state of the Puerto Rico economy
January 2012:  Fitch raised BPOPs outlook to positive
December 2011: S&P raised its ratings on BPPR to BB from BB-
and changed
outlook to stable given revised bank criteria to Regional banks
July 2011: S&P raised our senior unsecured rating by one notch to B+
As the P.R. economy stabilizes and our credit metrics improve, we should see
upward pressure on the ratings
