Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity; return on tangible equity leaves out goodwill and other intangible assets. The efficiency ratio is operating costs as a share of revenue, so lower means the bank spends less to earn each dollar. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

What First BanCorp (Puerto Rico) does

First BanCorp is the holding company for FirstBank, a bank chartered in Puerto Rico. It offers full-service commercial and consumer banking, mortgage banking, automobile financing, insurance agency services and other financial products in Puerto Rico, the U.S. mainland, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands.

FirstBank works from its main office in San Juan, 57 branches in Puerto Rico, eight in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and eight in Florida. It also owns Money Express La Financiera, a finance company that makes small loans from 25 offices in Puerto Rico. The company also owns an insurance agency, FirstBank Insurance Agency.

As with other banks, it takes deposits and lends them out, earning the difference between the interest it receives and the interest it pays, called net interest income. It is supervised by Puerto Rico's banking regulator and the FDIC, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulates its consumer products.

Its biggest risks, as it describes them

  • Much of its business and credit exposure is concentrated in Puerto Rico, which has faced prolonged economic and fiscal problems.
  • Changes in interest rates and inflation that squeeze its net interest income.
  • Deposit outflows and funding pressure after past bank failures and market volatility.
  • Its credit quality and Puerto Rico government securities can be hurt by Puerto Rico's fiscal condition.
  • Natural disasters and delays in federal disaster relief to Puerto Rico.

Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from their Form 4 filings with the SEC: one row per person, day and filing, at the day's average price. Grants, option exercises and shares withheld for tax aren't counted. Insiders buy and sell for many reasons, such as taxes, spreading their savings or a plan set up months earlier, so a trade on its own says little about where a company is heading.
