Evertec Inc. last week announced changes in leadership as it finalizes its transition to a stand-alone company, independent from Popular Inc.
Popular Inc. reported net income of $3 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2011, compared with net income of $27.5 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011, and a net loss of $227.1 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2010.
Popular Inc. sailed through its third consecutive quarter on the positive side, reporting $27.5 million in net income for the three-month period ended Sept. 30. The results were fueled by the sale of its non-performing loan portfolio and investment securities available-for-sale.
Popular Inc. announced Thursday that its subsidiary Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, completed the sale of a portfolio of mostly non-performing construction and commercial real estate loans with a book value of about $148 million. The loans carry an unpaid principal balance of approximately $358 million, the financial institution announced late in the day.
Popular Inc. reported net income of $110.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, buoyed by a tax benefit of $59.6 million granted through an agreement with the Treasury Department related to the timing of charge-offs for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
Popular Inc. announced Wednesday the signing of a definitive agreement with Wells Fargo Advisors LLC Puerto Rico for the acquisition of the latter company’s assets. This agreement allows Popular to acquire 1,750 accounts and assets under management for approximately $500 million, which will be handled by Popular Securities.
