First BanCorp
Investor Presentation
February 2015
Exhibit 99.1


Disclaimer
1
This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” concerning the Corporation’s future economic performance. The words or phrases “expect,” “anticipate,” “look forward,”
“should,” “believes” and similar expressions are meant to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created by such sections. The Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such “forward-looking statements,” which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including, but not limited to, the following could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by such forward-looking statements: uncertainty about whether the Corporation and FirstBank will be able to
fully comply with the written agreement dated June 3, 2010 that the Corporation entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “New York Fed”) and the consent order
dated June 2, 2010 that FirstBank entered into with the FDIC and the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “FDIC Order”) that,
among other things, require FirstBank to maintain certain capital levels and reduce its special mention, classified, delinquent, and non-performing assets; the risk of being subject to
possible additional regulatory actions; uncertainty as to the availability of certain funding sources, such as brokered CDs; the Corporation’s reliance on brokered CDs and its ability to
obtain, on a periodic basis, approval from the FDIC to issue brokered CDs to fund operations and provide liquidity in accordance with the terms of the FDIC Order; the risk of not being
able to fulfill the Corporation’s cash obligations or resume paying dividends to the Corporation’s stockholders in the future due to the Corporation’s inability to receive approval from the
New York Fed or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) to receive dividends from FirstBank or FirstBank’s failure to generate sufficient cash flow
to make a dividend payment to the Corporation; the strength or weakness of the real estate markets and of the consumer and commercial credit sectors and their impact on the credit
quality of the Corporation’s loans and other assets, which has contributed and may continue to contribute to, among other things, the high levels of non-performing assets, charge-offs,
and provisions and may subject the Corporation to further risk from loan defaults and foreclosures; the ability of FirstBank to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset; adverse changes
in general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, the U.S., and the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands, including the interest rate environment, market liquidity, housing absorption
rates, real estate prices, and disruptions in the U.S. capital markets, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources, and affect demand for all of the Corporation’s products
and services and reduce the Corporation’s revenues, earnings, and the value of the Corporation’s assets; an adverse change in the Corporation’s ability to attract new clients and retain
existing ones; a decrease in demand for the Corporation’s products and services and lower revenues and earnings because of the continued recession in Puerto Rico, the current fiscal
problems and budget deficit of the Puerto Rico government and recent credit downgrades of the Puerto Rico government; a credit default by the Puerto Rico government or any of its
public corporations or other instrumentalities, and recent and/or future downgrades of the long-term debt ratings of the Puerto Rico government, which could adversely affect economic
conditions in Puerto Rico; the risk that any portion of the unrealized losses in the Corporation’s investment portfolio is determined to be other-than-temporary, including unrealized losses
on Puerto Rico government obligations; uncertainty about regulatory and legislative changes for financial services companies in Puerto Rico, the U.S., and the U.S. Virgin Islands and British
Virgin Islands, which could affect the Corporation’s financial condition or performance and could cause the Corporation’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from prior
results and anticipated or projected results; changes in the fiscal and monetary policies and regulations of the federal government, including those determined by the Federal Reserve
Board, the New York Fed, the FDIC, government-sponsored housing agencies, and regulators in Puerto Rico and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands; the risk of possible failure or
circumvention of controls and procedures and the risk that the Corporation’s risk management policies may not be adequate; the risk that the FDIC may further increase the deposit
insurance premium and/or require special assessments to replenish its insurance fund, causing an additional increase in the Corporation’s non-interest expenses; the impact on the
Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition of acquisitions and dispositions; a need to recognize additional impairments on financial instruments, goodwill, or other
intangible assets relating to acquisitions; the risks that downgrades in the credit ratings of the Corporation’s long-term senior debt will adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to access
necessary external funds; the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on the Corporation’s businesses, business practices, and cost of operations; the
risk of losses in the value of investments in unconsolidated entities that the Corporation does not control; and general competitive factors and industry consolidation.  The Corporation
does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any “forward-looking statements” to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date
of such statements except as required by the federal securities laws.


A turn-around story underscored by steady improvement and organic market share gains in
the core franchise, operating within a challenging macro environment. 
Strong, tenured leadership team with a commitment to increasing shareholder value, while
fulfilling our vision to be the most highly regarded financial institution in the markets we
serve. 
Improving operating results, together with ongoing efforts to improve efficiencies and further
build-out our core franchise, are our priorities.
Improving our risk profile and maintaining a strong capital position remain central to our
operating philosophy.
Opportunities for additional branch consolidation and market share expansion.
Outlook enhanced by the increasing interest of foreign investment in Puerto Rico and
potential benefits for the underlying economy.
Share price continues to trail capital formation and profitability as TBV ended 4Q14 at
$6.02/share.  Our DTA valuation allowance is $516 million.

shares of Common Stock in the Corporation’s $525m private placement of Common Stock completed in October 2011. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise
