Financial Results Discussion
Net Income - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Bank recorded net income of $129 million and $247 million compared to $130 million and $270 million for the same periods in 2017. The Bank’s net income was impacted by net interest income, other income (loss), and other expense.
Net Interest Income - The Bank’s net interest income totaled $167 million and $324 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $170 million and $323 million for the same periods last year. The Bank’s net interest margin was 0.44 percent and 0.43 percent during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 0.41 percent and 0.37 percent for the same periods in 2017. The increase in net interest margin was primarily driven by the higher interest rate environment.
Other Income (Loss) - The Bank recorded net gains of $8 million and $16 million in other income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net gains of $6 million and $41 million for the same periods last year. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, other income (loss) was primarily impacted by net gains on litigation settlements of $21 million as a result of settlements with certain defendants in the Bank’s private-label MBS litigation. We did not record any litigation settlements during the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 or the three months ended June 30, 2017. Other factors impacting other income (loss) included net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities and net gains (losses) on trading securities, as described below.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Bank recorded net gains of $14 million and $34 million on its derivatives and hedging activities through other income (loss) compared to net losses of $3 million and net gains of $3 million during the same periods last year. The fair value changes were primarily driven by changes in interest rates. These changes impacted the Bank’s fair value hedge relationships and fair value changes on interest rate swaps that the Bank utilized to economically hedge its investment securities portfolio.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Bank recorded net losses on trading securities of $8 million and $24 million compared to net gains of $4 million and $9 million for the same periods in 2017. These changes in fair value were primarily due to the impact of changes in interest rates and credit spreads on the Bank’s fixed rate trading securities.
Other Expense - Other expense totaled $32 million and $65 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $31 million and $63 million for the same periods last year. Other expense primarily represents compensation and benefit expenses, contractual services, and professional fees.
Assets - The Bank’s total assets increased to $151.0 billion at June 30, 2018, from $145.1 billion at December 31, 2017, driven by an increase in advances. Advances at June 30, 2018 increased by $7.4 billion from advances at December 31, 2017 due primarily to borrowings by certain large members.
Liabilities - The Bank’s total liabilities increased to $143.4 billion at June 30, 2018, from $138.1 billion at December 31, 2017, driven primarily by an increase in the amount of consolidated obligations needed to fund the Bank’s assets.
Capital - Total capital increased to $7.5 billion at June 30, 2018 from $7.0 billion at December 31, 2017, primarily due to an increase in activity-based capital stock resulting from an increase in advance balances. In addition, retained earnings increased due to net income, partially offset by dividends paid. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratio increased to 5.15 percent at June 30, 2018, from 5.03 percent at December 31, 2017 and was above the required regulatory minimum at each period end. Regulatory capital includes all capital stock, mandatorily redeemable capital stock, and retained earnings.
