Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
Announces Third Quarter 2024 Operating Highlights

New York, NY – The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) today released its unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Throughout the first nine months of 2024, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York has continued to successfully execute on our mission, meeting the needs of our members and working together to the benefit of the communities we all serve,” said José R. González, president and CEO of the FHLBNY.

Highlights from the third quarter of 2024 include:

• Net income for the quarter was $183.4 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.8%, from net income of $181.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. Net interest income for the quarter was $237.2 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 2.2%, from $242.4 million in the third quarter last year. Non-interest income increased by $23.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared with the prior year’s quarter, mainly due to an increase in unrealized fair value gains on derivatives, hedged items and trading securities. Non-interest expense increased by $16.2 million to $68.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to larger voluntary contributions for housing and community development initiatives and increases in headcount.
• Return on average equity (“ROE”) for the quarter was 8.29% (annualized), compared to ROE of 9.13% for the third quarter of 2023.
• As of September 30, 2024, total assets were $155.5 billion, a decrease of $2.8 billion, or 1.8%, from total assets of $158.3 billion at December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, advances were $106.4 billion, a decrease of $2.5 billion, or 2.3%, from $108.9 billion at December 31, 2023.
• As of September 30, 2024, total capital was $8.4 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion from total capital of $8.2 billion at December 31, 2023. The FHLBNY’s retained earnings increased by $0.2 billion to $2.5 billion as of September 30, 2024, of which $1.3 billion was unrestricted retained earnings and $1.2 billion was restricted retained earnings. At September 30, 2024, the FHLBNY met its regulatory capital ratios and liquidity requirements.
• The FHLBNY allocated $20.4 million from its third quarter 2024 earnings for its Affordable Housing Program.

The FHLBNY expects to file its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or before November 7, 2024.
