OFG Bancorp (OFG) 2012 Q1 法說會逐字稿

Good morning. I'll be your conference operator today. Thank you for joining us for this conference call for Oriental Financial Group. Our participants are Jose Rafael Fernandez, President, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman, and Ganesh Kumar, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Please note this call may feature certain forward-looking statements about management's goals, plans and expectations, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties outlined in the Risk Factors section of oriental's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated. We disclaim any obligation to update information disclosed in this call as a result of developments which occur afterward. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background on. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. During the question-and-answer session, we ask questioners did not use cell phones or BlackBerries, as they might cause wild static on the line.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Mister Fernandez.

Thank you for listening in today. Also with us today are José Ramon Gonzales, our Senior Executive Vice President of Banking and Corporate Development; and Alberto Gonzales, Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer; and Ramon Rosado, our Senior Vice President and Treasurer.

We have a presentation that accompanies our remarks and provides other information. It can be found on the webcast presentations and other files on our website.

I'll review our results and Ganesh will go over the first-quarter income statement and balance sheet. I'll come back and give you our thoughts regarding the 2012 outlook from a general perspective, and then we'll go into the Q&A.

We are very pleased with our first-quarter performance, which shows great progress towards achieving our goals for 2012. The investments we're making in our Commercial Banking capabilities, active management of our risk exposures, and transforming our financial model have resulted in a growing franchise with a very strong capital position.

Income available to common shareholders of $9.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, was up nicely from $0.04 per share in the year-ago quarter, and a loss of $0.31 per share in the preceding quarter. Our first-quarter performance was after a $7.2 million provision for covered loans and leases, due largely to the effects of purchase accounting.

Book value per share at $15.27 was up more than 10% from a year ago and up from the year end 2011. Due to our program of increasing dividends, the quarter's cash payout was up 20% from the year-ago first quarter. As a result of our stock repurchase program, common shares outstanding at March 31, 2012 were down more than 10% from a year ago, and down more than 1% from December 31, 2011. These favorable results are in line with the strategies that Oriental has embarked upon and continue to execute.

In a still somewhat tepid but improving local economy, we're doing a great job of attracting new business. Positive market recognition due to our solid financial position among our competitors continued to be a factor in expansion of our customer base, and in further strengthening such relationships.

The program to expand loan activity through highly seasoned and knowledgeable banking executives is a key factor in this growth. As a result, loan production totaled $110 million, up 41% year-over-year, and nearly 3% quarter-over-quarter. This strategically significant commercial category hit a record $55 million in production, a more than threefold increase from the year-ago quarter, and 17% greater than in the preceding quarter.

Commercial production is key to our strategy of achieving diversity in our asset composition and a robust source of profitability. Total noncovered loans, those generated by Oriental and unrelated to the Eurobank acquisition, approximated $1.2 billion, an increase of almost 2% from December 31, 2011. Their contribution to interest income increased more than 5% on a sequential-quarter basis.

Deposits are remaining relatively stable as we continue to we experience a lower interest rate environment in Puerto Rico. Cost of core retail deposits dropped to 1.54%, a record low over the last five years, from 1.66% in the preceding quarter.

There was a minimal impact on retail balances of about $2 billion. Higher cost wholesale deposits have been sharply reduced. Wholesale deposits of $390 million were $106 million below December 31, 2011, with the cost dropping to 1.81% from 2.45%.

Our program to significantly reduce the cost of borrowings is also working. Borrowings of $3.4 billion declined 2.9% from December 31, 2011, and our cost of borrowings declined to 2.49% in the first quarter of 2012 from 2.82% in the preceding quarter. Using available cash, in mid-March of 2012, we paid down $105 million in maturing FDIC temporary liquidity guarantee program notes with a cost of 3.75%.

As we reported last quarter, in December, $600 million in repurchase agreement funding with an average cost of 4.23% matured. Half of those repos were paid off and the balance was renewed at an effective rate of 2.36%. As we have previously reported, we have another $825 million in borrowings maturing over the balance of 2012. These funds currently cost us an average of 4.29%. We expect to renew them at an average of 2.37%.

In line with our goals for the year, we're pleased to report a significant increase in net interest margins. Net interest margin increased to 2.59% versus 2.26% in the year-ago quarter and 1.76% in the preceding quarter. This improvement was due to three principal factors -- higher yields on both loans and investment securities, premium amortization on MBS of about $11.2 million -- this was about $7.8 million less than the preceding quarter, as repayment slowed; and three, lower cost of deposits and wholesale borrowings.

On our last call, we said our net interest margin and target for 2012 was 2.50%. Based on our first-quarter performance, we're comfortable moving that to the 2.50% to 2.60% range for all of 2012. Our 2012 target is based on our assumption that premium amortization will be about the same as what we experienced for all of 2011, and it is based on our plans for lower cost of funds for both deposits and borrowings.

Ultimately, recurring net revenue from client businesses, lending, banking, and Wealth Management services continued to grow strongly. Our market position continues to strengthen. At an aggregate of $42.2 million, it was up 40% year-over-year, and more than 2% from the preceding quarter. If we continue at this quarterly rate in 2012, we would achieve a better than 25% increase over the $134 million we generated in 2011, which in turn was up 27% from 2010. We consider growth of these revenues a significant accomplishment. It shows how we are building the revenue-generating power of Oriental Bank & Trust and Oriental Financial Services and lessening our dependence on the investment securities portfolio.

Another way of looking at the progress we have made in our management of our balance sheet -- loans as a percentage of loans and investments were more than 31% at March 31, 2012, the highest level over the last five years. That compares with 30% at the end of 2011 and a low of about 19% at the end of 2009.

Looking at the big picture, much has been accomplished over the last five years at Oriental, despite the economic and credit situation in Puerto Rico. We will continue to keep working at strategies to more fully develop our core businesses and, in particular, Commercial Banking activities. We are clearly moving in the right direction.

Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Ganesh.

Thank you, Jose Rafael. I'll start with the interest income details first. Interest income from loans, as a percentage of total interest income, equaled 57%, up from 41% in the year-ago quarter, underscoring Oriental's greater emphasis on growing our commercial franchise.

Interest income from loans of $40 million represented an increase of 23% year-over-year and was also up quarter-over-quarter. Year-over-year growth stems from our strong management of covered loans, the former Eurobank portfolio. Sequentially the result benefited from growth in Oriental's noncovered commercial, auto leasing and consumer portfolio.

Interest income from investment securities of $30 million declined 34% year-over-year, but increased 17% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year reduction reflects lower yields and the strategic decision to reduce the size of the investment securities portfolio. The quarter-over-quarter improvement benefited from the previously mentioned reduction in premium amortization.

Total interest expense of $31 million declined 24% year-over-year and 17% quarter-over-quarter. This reflects lower cost of funds and balances on both deposits and wholesale funding.

Regarding non-interest income, our Wealth Management business continues to grow in response to our focused marketing effort and positive market reaction to client engagement methods we adopt. The total banking Wealth Management revenues of $11 million rose 14% year-over-year, with Wealth Management revenues up 26% due to increased brokerage, trust and insurance business. Assets Under Management were a record $4.4 billion on March 31, 2012, up 9.7% a year ago and 7% from the end of the preceding quarter, reflecting new assets and improved market valuations. Growth of new assets is indicative of our strong market penetration as we gather more customers and their assets.

Total noncore, non-interest income was $1.3 million compared to a loss of $2.8 million in the year-ago quarter, and a loss of $23 million in the preceding quarter. First-quarter 2012 results primarily reflect a net gain of sale of securities of $7.4 million. We took strategic advantage of market opportunities to sell certain MBS pools with increasing prepayment speeds, and an amortization of $4.8 million of FDIC loss-share indemnification assets. This was mainly due to an improvement in the revised cash flow projections in 2011.

Expenses are being tightly controlled. As a result, non-interest expenses of $29 million were down more than 5% from a year ago, and more than 4% below the preceding quarter. We expect the expenses to rise slightly for the rest of 2012, but we expect the expenses to be within our target of $123 million for all of 2012, which we mentioned on our last call.

Credit quality has improved as a result of our customary prudent credit underwriting criteria in a market where the rate environment is uneconomic. Nonperforming loans declined more than 9% from December 31, 2011. Net credit losses, at $2.7 million, were virtually level with fourth quarter of 2011. This is relatively a small amount, given the economy of Puerto Rico, and the fact that we are in the sixth year of recession with unemployment still high. As a result, provision for loan and lease losses declined more than 20% compared to the year ago and the preceding quarters, while the loans continued to increase.

You will see that we are now including supplemental information on loans past due on our financial tables. This shows that early delinquency loans, the loans with 30 to 89 days past due, dropped 7% year-over-year, and 5% from the preceding quarter. We regard this as a key indicator for future credit performance.

Cash and cash equivalents, including securities purchased under agreements to resell, of $624 million increased 3% from December 31, 2011. This reflected repayments on MBS and proceeds from the sale of securities, partially offset by the paydown of FDIC notes and of also deposits.

Total investments of $3.6 billion declined 5.8% from December 31, 2011. This is primarily reflected -- this primarily reflected the aforementioned sale of securities.

The stockholders equity of $689 million declined slightly from December 31, 2011. This reflects the increase in retained income and an increase in mark-to-market on our investment securities mostly offset by the negative mark on our interest rate swaps as the rates decline and the cost of repurchases. Book value per share, however, increased from the $15.27 to -- from $15.22.

Under our current Board authorization to repurchase $70 million in shares of common stock in the open market, we approximately bought $603,000 -- 603,000 shares at an average price of $11.61 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Approximately $33 million remains under the present buyback authorization.

Oriental maintains a regulatory cash -- regulatory capital ratios well above the requirements for a well-capitalized institution. At March 31, 2012, the leverage capital ratio was 10.12%. Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was 32.34%, and total risk based capital ratio was 33.64%.

Now I would like to turn back the call back to Jose Rafael.

Thank you Ganesh. Looking at our financials and our ability that comes from premium amortization purchase accounting and FDIC asset amortization, we think pre-tax pre-provision operating income is a better indicator of our performance. Our pre-tax pre-provision operating income for the quarter was $21.5 million, up 28% from a year ago and more than double from the preceding quarter.

Our pre-tax pre-provision ROA for the quarter was 1.30%, and our pre-tax pre-provision ROE was 12.90%. These results are in line with our goals of a 1% ROA and a 12% ROE, respectively.

As I mentioned on our last call, 2011 was a year where we finished the integration of the Eurobank acquisition. As we enter 2012, we move to a fuller execution mode of our Commercial Banking and Financial Services activities. So far this year, we are encouraged with the momentum we are achieving executing our strategy. And so looking forward with regard regards to our banking franchise, we expect to continue to, one, build our commercial loan production with quality credits, taking advantage of our ability to provide a high level of attention and service to commercial borrowers. Two, effectively manage our Eurobank portfolio to maximize the performance of the loans we acquired. Three, develop more products and services for commercial accounts to benefit noninterest revenues. Four, expand market share in Wealth Management as well as growing number of products and services used by each client. Five, continue to attract lower-cost deposits and quality consumer loans on auto leasing credits.

With regards to our funding, we plan to further reduce our cost of borrowings and deposits. As I mentioned earlier, over the course of 2012, we plan to reduce the average cost of $825 million in borrowings by almost half to 2.37%. We also see opportunities to continue to reduce cost of retail deposits from 1.54% to 1.30% the second half of this year.

As the economy in Puerto Rico -- as for the economy in Puerto Rico, we continue to be cautious. But we are encouraged by the recent favorable trends in business activity data.

That concludes our formal remarks. I'd like to ask our operator to open the call for questions. Thank you.

(Operator Instructions). Michael Sarcone, Sandler O'Neil.

So my first question -- you guys revised upwards slightly the guidance on the NIM for 2012. Can you just walk us through what that implies for your outlook for the securities portfolio net yields?

Sure. Remember, Michael, that when we look at our securities portfolio, specifically the MBS portfolio, we have to be cognizant of pre-payment speeds and the premium amortization. That is an issue that we talked about in prior calls. So our assumption is that we will have the same level of premium amortization as last year, which I have on here, the level was close to $40 million or so, right? So that's kind of the assumption.

Also, the cost of borrowings, it's pretty much very well detailed in the last couple of presentations that we made, and we include it in this call, with the opportunity to reprice the $825 million in borrowings that are coming due this year.

The third leg of it, as I mentioned in the call, retail cost of funds which we feel that we have good momentum to continue to lower, especially the second half of this year. We've done already quite a bit of a reduction in the first half. We see further reduction in the second half.

Okay, thanks. Then on share buybacks, can you give us an update on any buybacks so far in the second quarter?

We enter into a black period once we end the quarter, so at this time we have not done any further repurchase, since we enter into that blackout period. So that's the update.

Okay. Then on your thoughts on capital priorities, meaning capital return versus both organic and inorganic growth opportunities, can you just walk us through how you are looking at that?

Yes, we have good momentum on our organic progress, on our organic strategies. So we feel that as we continue to strengthen our marketing and our position here in Puerto Rico, we have a good opportunity to continue to invest in quality credits here in Puerto Rico. So that's priority number one.

Priority number two is also we still believe that the banking market in Puerto Rico is still over-banked, and there are still opportunities for us to entertain any inorganic opportunity, meaning businesses or pools of loans, et cetera. So we also have that as part of our strategy, and that something we have been saying for the last year or so. Lastly, the repurchase -- stock repurchase. And that's a program that we still have in place. As Ganesh mentioned, we have close to $31 million or $32 million left in authorized. We plan to execute on the three strategies concurrently as they present themselves. I think the main one is the organic, which is the one that we can influence the most and certainly develop our strategy going forward to add value to shareholders.

Okay. On the inorganic growth opportunities, do you guys have in mind any sense of timing as to when you could possibly see more consolidation?

Specifically, we don't have anything that we can discuss right now. In general, we feel that the market in Puerto Rico needs to do some further consolidation. It took a while before the first wave. It's probably going to take some time also for the second wave, so it's hard for us to predict.

Okay, thanks guys.

(Operator Instructions). Joe Gladue, B. Riley.

I guess I'd like to touch on loan demand and the outlook I guess breaking things out between the commercial and the mortgage loans, and I guess let me start with the mortgage. Wondering if you could just give us an update on how the mortgage market is looking in Puerto Rico, and what your expectations are going forward for the year?

Okay, why don't I start by talking about the residential mortgage, and then I'll pass to Jose Ramon to give some details on the commercial side.

So on the mortgage loan production, it's getting more complicated, the residential mortgage business, Joe, regulatory-wise. With all the new rules that are being put in place, it is a more costly endeavor. So starting from that premise, and then adding the fact that there's still a lot of loan-to-value issues when clients try to refinance loans, you still have higher loan to values that we really are not entertaining as part of our credit policy. So we expect mortgage origination and mortgage production going in 2012 to remain around these levels, between $45 million and $50 million a quarter. We will -- most of the production is conforming, so we originate and sell, and we expect mortgage banking activities to continue the same run rate of around $10 million for the year.

So that's on the mortgage -- residential mortgage side. I'd like to pass it to Jose Ramon to give some detail on the commercial side.

Sure, Jose Rafael. On the commercial side, Joe, I think our growth and success thus far is a function of, first, being now well organized as a commercial bank in terms of the teams of bankers and the credit underwriting process that we have put into place over the last year and a half, which allows us to develop momentum and have more effectiveness in dealing with clients. It is also still a function of the fact that the competition in Puerto Rico remains somewhat constrained by other players' reduced ability to handle increased growth, given their own situation or lower appetite for growth in Puerto Rico, which is placed to our benefit as the best capitalized bank in Puerto Rico and one of the very few that can actually grow.

It is not significantly based on growth of the economy at the moment. The economy continues to be, as Jose Rafael said, weak, showing signs of stability and slight improvement but not yet significant growth. So it is still a market where we are very cautious in choosing our opportunities and our clients. Hopefully things will improve. The government is in fact projecting improvement in the economy over the next year, year and a half. That will then further offer more opportunities for growth if it plays out in fact in that manner. But again it is -- I think our growth is a function of having been able to now to fully roll out a commercial banking model, and being effective in it and still rather attenuated competition for clients, so it's a good market for us to be active in.

The first quarter was very strong in terms of volume, and it is an indication of the beginning of the year, it's always quarter-to-quarter as we see opportunities. We're not going to be seeking growth for growth's sake. We're still very cautious, so we may not have identical quarters the rest of the year, but in general we are on target to meet our growth objectives for commercial loan growth during the year.

Okay. All right, thanks. I guess I'd like to switch over to a couple of questions on the deposit side. Did notice there was a little bit of a decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits from the end of the year. Just curious. Was that (technical difficulty) some seasonal affect or was anything particular driving that? I guess I'll also ask the second part of the question is just overall a very nice increase in core deposits. And just wondering what's driving that, are you I guess taking market share from competitors? Anyway, just wondering if you could expand on that a little.

Sure. The first question, Joe, it's pretty much seasonal. The beginning of the year, commercial accounts have needs for -- higher needs for cash. That's basically our -- the reason for the reduction. We do have, as Jose Ramon mentioned, as we continue to grow our commercial business, those loans will be adding additional non-interest-bearing deposits and that should be also building, going forward.

In regards to our retail cost of funds and retail balances, we keep on being differentiated. We are here again having a very good opportunity to capitalize on the differentiation. We are the cleanest bank. We are smaller, more nimble and more agile, so we can have more contact with our clients and add value to them. It's not something we feel that we have achieved excellent performance yet, but it's something that we have improved on. When we compare ourselves to the rest of the market, I think we do an excellent job. So in that regards, I think the differentiation is being noticed. Again, that coupled with a reduction in the cost of funds sends a good message to us that we're doing the right things and the clients are valuing the offerings that we are making and the advice that we're providing.

All right, thank you. I'll just ask one more, I guess. Appreciate the added detail on the asset quality in the presentation and the press release.

We thought a lot about you, Joe, on that one.

But I'll just ask one short asset quality question. Just wondering if you could tell us how inflows to non-accrual, where and how they related relative to what they were in the fourth quarter.

Okay, I'll give some general response and I'll pass it to Norberto. If we need to add something specific on those -- on that question to you afterwards, Joe, we'll do.

But in general what we're seeing is a very nice reduction in the inflows of non-accruals. We have been working hard, especially on the residential portfolio, which is the vast majority of the nonperforming and non-accruals. I think we've done a very good job at not only working out the loans that we need to work out and pass them to REO and then eventually selling them, but we are also managing very well the early delinquency pockets in residential as well as in commercial. So in general, we are very much encouraged with that.

So I'll pass to Norberto. If we have any additional information specifically.

I think you summarized it very well. There were -- I would say, if I understand your question, in terms of inflows, there were not significant cases that were added to our growth during the quarter that we expect will be added in our growth in upcoming months, let's say. We're obviously working with them. We have been able to reduce the delinquency at the early stages. I think we were, one, the good news of the quarter was that we finally see some significant reduction in the nonperforming mortgage, and no increase in the nonperforming commercial. In fact, there was some decrease in the nonperforming commercial loans, so that's why we were able in a sense to have a lower provision in this quarter than the one that we had in previous quarters. So asset quality, in general, looking good in the nonperforming portfolio.

Okay. All right, thank you. That's all I had.

Thank you, Joe.

(Operator Instructions). Derek Hewett, KBW.

Hey, could you guys talk a little about the increase in the indemnity amortization this quarter? Will we see a further boost to the accretable yield?

Okay. I think Ganesh can go into that. We've dedicated a lot of time and effort to that in the last several months.

Okay. The FTSE amortization, the increase that you see is primarily because of the re-yielding. Right, Derek. When you re-yield, you expect lower losses and therefore you need to amortize the FDIC asset at a faster rate. So although we're not sure whether the $4.8 million is there to stay for a remaining period of last year, we think some part of it is going to be, A, increased amortization because of the re-yielding we did. I'm not sure if we would have any more re-yielding, because the re-yielding would be done based on cash flow, entire cash flow revisions. While we take a look at quarter by quarter certain tools, we also, on an annual basis, we completely recast the cash flow projections. That's due either in September quarter, as we have done in the last year, so maybe there will be some chances for re-yielding some of the pools in that quarter.

Can you give some specifics on the accretable yield level?

Correct. Accretable yield is closer to what we showed in the 10-K. It was, on December 31, it was $188 million, and I think it's close, right now it's $174.8 million. It hasn't changed quite a bit. The accretable yield will change only when there is a re-yielding, and recapture from the accretable yields are there in a significant amount.

Okay, great. Then in terms of the ROA and ROE goals, Jose, are you looking at that more from a GAAP basis, or are you looking at it more from an equivalent earnings basis?

It's -- we're really working hard, Derek, and trying to show to the Street the most normalized level of our performance as possible, given the model, the financial model that we have which really has still 70% -- 69%, 70% of assets and investments. So having gone through 2011 with the different levels of premium amortization, that at the end of the day, it normalizes to a level that we feel is close to what happened last year, which around $40 million or so.

We're trying to get to a more, as I said, normalized level of results. When we look at ROE and ROA, if we just look at GAAP, it really distorts, given who we are, distorts our reality. And so we feel that trying to look forward and giving you guys a pre-tax pre-provision -- remember we also have purchased accounting to deal with, as you saw this quarter -- it really distorts the entire story. So we're more inclined to look at it from a pre-tax pre-provisioning, even though we still have there the premium amortization effects. We're working in this quarter to share with you what the level, on a yearly basis, should look like and how it translates into ROA and ROE, going forward, so there are not as many surprises.

I think we've heard throughout our different visits with investors throughout the last couple of quarters, how we need to look at that. That's what we're trying to do.

Okay, great. Thank you very much. That was very helpful.

Dan Oxman, Jacobs Asset Management.

Can you please reconcile the increase in CPR rates with the decline in premium amortization?

Can you be more specific? CPR went up, according to our presentation.

It is also the methodology differences of how we calculate the premium amortization. We basically take a look at the preceding three quarters average to calculate the premium amortization, so what is there is the current CPR rates of two months lag will be shown in the next quarter, versus immediately in that quarter.

Okay, that helps. Thanks. On the re-yielding in the securities book, you had a big hit to the indemnification asset, but your effective yield of 17.5% wasn't much greater than last quarters. Can you talk a little bit about that?

You're talking about the increase from 17.12% last quarter to 17.52% this quarter on the covered loans?

Correct. Yes, the indemnification asset impact was three times greater.

You mean on the amortization?

Correct.

Yes. The amortization of the indemnification assets is, if I understand your question correctly, is something that is not part of the net interest income --

Sure.

-- calculation, so basically it does affect, in the sense that it is, let's say, indirectly by [inaudible] and so on, but basically the yield is a calculation of the interest income divided by the corresponding average balances of the covered portfolio.

So, I'm sorry to ask you about your question, but are you comparing the first quarter of 2011 versus the first quarter of 2012, or are you --?

No, the Q4, Q4, if you divide interest income from covered loans, divide it by the average balance for covered loans, you get an effective yield of about 17%.

Sure.

-- (multiple speakers) the calculation this quarter it's also 17%, but you said that the loans are performing better, which is why you have such a big impact to indemnification asset of $4.8 million, with a yield pretty much flat.

Well, yes, but when we say the loans are performing better, they are performing better not necessarily a quarter versus quarter, trailing quarter but throughout last year. We didn't do the re-yielding at the beginning of the year. We did it later in the year. So when you compare it to last quarter, it doesn't make that much of a difference on the yield, but when you compare it to the March or June quarter, it's a larger difference. So I think it's in the semantics that (multiple speakers) --

But also going back to Norberto's point, in the yield calculation, we don't include the FDIC amortization. It is present as a non-core.

No, no, right. I understand that.

I'm trying to see if I understand your -- where you come from the comparison perspective. If you're looking at our amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset as of March was $1.2 million versus $4.8 million, positive versus negative. So the reason why you have a larger amortization you had on accretion in the first quarter is because of the re-yielding that we have done. Back in the first quarter we had not done any.

Right. You're comparing year-over-year. I'm comparing link-quarter.

Oh, link-quarter is from $3.2 million to $4.8 million.

Right.

So it's up $1.7 million.

Okay. Okay, no, I understand where you're coming from then. Thank you.

Okay.

That's all I have.

At this time, there are no further questions. I will now turn the call back over to Jose Rafael Fernandez for any closing remarks.

Well, thank you everyone for listening in today. We look forward to talking to you again when we report second-quarter results. Have a great day.

Thank you. This concludes your conference. You may now disconnect.
