As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued interest receivable excluded in amortized cost of investment securities totaled $11.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively, and is included in the accrued interest receivable line in OFG’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to Note 9 – Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets.
Securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period of final contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
The weighted average yield on debt securities available-for-sale is based on amortized cost and does not give effect to changes in fair value. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, most securities held by OFG are issued by U.S. government entities and government-sponsored agencies that have a zero-credit loss assumption and, therefore, have no ACL.

For regulatory collateral, the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral.

The unrealized losses on OFG’s investment in federal agency mortgage-backed securities were caused by market volatility related to market uncertainty tied to interest rate fluctuations. OFG purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government or by a government-sponsored enterprise. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost basis of OFG’s investments. OFG does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that OFG will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
