Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exhibi


Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 5, 2013, First BanCorp. (the "Corporation"), the bank holding company for FirstBank Puerto Rico ("FirstBank" or "the Bank"), issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the presentation that the Corporation will use at its conference call to discuss its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. As announced in a press release dated January 30, 2013, the call may be accessed via a live Internet webcast at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 through the investor relations section of the Corporation's website:
www.firstbankpr.com or through the dial-in telephone number (888) 317-6016 or
(412) 317-6016 for international callers. The conference number is 10024656.

The Corporation has included in this release the following financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles, which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures: (i) the calculation of net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin rate on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and certain financial liabilities; (ii) the calculation of the tangible common equity ratio and the tangible book value per common share;
(iii) the Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio; and (iv) the adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income. Investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be read only in conjunction with the Corporation's consolidated financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The release includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures, except for the reconciliation with respect to the calculation of net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin rate on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and certain financial liabilities which is included below.

Net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin are reported on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and financial liabilities elected to be measured at fair value ("valuations"). The presentation of net interest income excluding valuations provides additional information about the Corporation's net interest income and facilitates comparability and analysis. The changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on liabilities measured at fair value have no effect on interest due or interest earned on interest-bearing liabilities or interest-earning assets, respectively. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a marginal income tax rate, as described in Exhibit A - Tables 2 and 3 of the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income, interest rate spread and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt securities and certain loans, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of the Corporation's results to results of its peers.


The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measure "net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis excluding valuations" with net interest income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The table also reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures "net interest spread on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding valuations" and "net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding valuations" with net interest spread and net interest margin calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
