Evertec Inc. reported Thursday that its total revenue increased by $7.4 million during the second quarter ended June 30, or 11 percent to $76.2 million, when compared to the same period in 2010, an improvement the company attributed in part to last year’s banking consolidation and certain improvements in the island’s economic activity.
Oriental Bank, one of only several financial institutions doing business in Puerto Rico that weathered last year’s banking debacle, reported $13.1 million in net income for the first quarter of 2011, up 4.7 percent from the same period last year.
Buoyed by a reduction in the island’s corporate tax rate and the sale of its equity stake in Consorcio de Tarjetas Dominicanas, S.A., Popular Inc. on Monday reported net income of $10.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, an improvement over the net loss of $85.1 million during the same period the year before.
