As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost of investment securities excludes accrued interest receivable, 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.
Investment securities as of March 31, 2026, include $1.310 billion pledged to secure government deposits, regulatory collateral, and borrowings, of which $1.200 billion serve as collateral for public funds. Investment securities as of December 31, 2025, include $1.724 billion pledged to secure government deposits, regulatory collateral, and borrowings, of which $1.614 billion serve as collateral for public funds. For regulatory collateral, the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral.
The Bank’s IBEs, OIB and Oriental Overseas, each held short-term US Treasury securities in the amount of $1.0 million and $775 thousand at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, as the legal reserve required for international banking entities under Puerto Rico law. These instruments cannot be withdrawn or transferred without the prior written approval of the Office Commissioner of Financial Institutions.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $24.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively, at a yield of 4.61% and 4.63%, respectively, from its own originations.
There were no sales of investment securities during the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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.
