Evidence used to determinate the partial reversal of valuation allowance	The positive evidence considered by management in arriving at its conclusion to reverse part of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance includes factors such as: FirstBank’s three-year cumulative income position; the continued profitability following the hurricane events in 2017; and forecasts of future profitability, under several potential scenarios, that support significant utilization of NOLs prior to their expiration ranging between the years 2021 through 2024. The negative evidence considered by management includes: uncertainties around the state of the Puerto Rico economy, including the effect of hurricane recovery funds together with Puerto Rico government debt renegotiation efforts and the ultimate sustainability of the approved Fiscal Plan; and consideration of the Corporation’s still elevated levels of non-performing assets.
