Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
Announces Second Quarter 2018 Operating Highlights
New York, New York — The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) today released its unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
“Through the first half of 2018, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York has successfully continued our mission of providing liquidity to our members and supporting the economic, housing and community developments needs of the communities we serve,” said José R. González, president and CEO of the FHLBNY. “Our strong performance through the first six months of the year continues to position us as a stable and reliable partner for our members.”
Highlights from the second quarter of 2018 include:
Net income for the quarter was $155.2 million, an increase of $24.3 million, or 18.6 percent, from net income of $130.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. This increase in net income was driven primarily by an increase in advances income. Return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter was 8.05 percent (annualized), compared to ROE of 6.99 percent for the second quarter of 2017.
As of June 30, 2018, total assets were $156.6 billion, a decrease of $2.3 billion, or 1.4 percent, from total assets of $158.9 billion at December 31, 2017. This decrease in total assets was driven primarily by lower advances balances during the period. As of June 30, 2018, advances were $110.8 billion, a decrease of $11.6 billion, or 9.5 percent, from $122.4 billion at December 31, 2017. This decrease was partly offset by increases in securities purchased under agreements to sell, federal funds sold and trading securities for a total of $8.9 billion.
As of June 30, 2018, total capital was $7.9 billion, a decrease of $318.0 million from total capital of $8.2 billion at December 31, 2017. The FHLBNY’s retained earnings increased by $79.1 million to $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2018, of which $1.1 billion were unrestricted retained earnings and $535.5 million were restricted retained earnings. At June 30, 2018, the FHLBNY met its regulatory capital ratios and liquidity requirements.
The FHLBNY allocated $17.3 million from its second quarter 2018 earnings for its Affordable Housing Program.
The FHLBNY currently expects to file its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2018 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or before August 10, 2018.
