Doral Financial Corporation Reports Financial Results for the
Quarter Ended September 30, 2013
Continued Improvement in Its Financial Performance
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – November 5, 2013 – Doral Financial Corporation (NYSE:DRL) (“Doral”, “Doral Financial” or the “Company”), the financial services holding company of Doral Bank, with operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland, today reported for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 continued improvement in its financial performance over the year ago third quarter and this year’s preceding quarter.
Doral Financial reduced its net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 to $7.5 million. This compares to net losses of $10.4 million and $32.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the year ago quarter ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Doral Financial’s net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $9.9 million. For the second quarter of 2013, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $12.8 million and for the third quarter of 2012 the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $35.0 million.
Glen Wakeman, CEO of Doral Financial Corporation, stated, “The third quarter demonstrated continued progress for Doral as we work towards building a profitable and stronger bank. Our decision to divide operations into Doral Growth, a profitable mortgage and commercial bank, and Doral Recovery, a special servicing portfolio, have allowed us to weather the continued economic recession in Puerto Rico. We continue to take advantage of significant opportunities in our U.S. mainland operation and remain committed to creating affordable mortgage solutions for our customers and local communities in Puerto Rico.”
As with the 2013 second quarter, retail deposits and loans for the 2013 third quarter were up over the preceding quarter. Reflecting Doral’s development of U.S. mainland opportunities, as of September 30, 2013, $2.6 billion, or 42% of loans, are to U.S. commercial borrowers. At the same time, Doral continues to strengthen its franchise in Puerto Rico as a major provider of fixed-rate, affordable residential mortgages.
The Company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2013 and Investor Presentation materials, which contain additional information regarding our third quarter 2013 performance, are being released at the same time as our filing of Doral’s Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

| mark to market on loans held for sale at fair value and the gain on trading activity, respectively, partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in the net gain on loans securitized and sold and capitalization of mortgage servicing assets. |
| • | Non-interest expense of $68.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflects decreases of $5.5 million and $5.1 million from the three months ended June, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The decrease in expenses for the third quarter of 2013 when compared to the second quarter of 2013 was mainly driven by decreases of $3.6 million and $1.3 million in other expenses and EDP expenses, respectively, along with decreases of $0.5 million and $0.4 million in compensation and benefits and OREO expense, respectively. |
| • | The Company realized an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This variance of $0.8 million is due mainly to the growth of U.S. operations as well as the increased benefit in deferred taxes resulting from an out-of-period adjustment related to a dividend deduction. |
