FHLB Des Moines Reports Second Quarter 2011 Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results
(Des Moines, Iowa) - The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the Bank) today released preliminary unaudited financial highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Bank expects to file its Second Quarter 2011 Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about August 11, 2011.
Operating Results
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank recorded net income of $19.1 million and $45.1 million compared to $13.2 million and $43.5 million for the same periods in 2010. Net income was primarily impacted by the Bank's net interest income and other losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank recorded net interest income, before provision for loan losses, of $48.9 million and $111.0 million compared to $72.4 million and $124.8 million for the same periods in 2010. The decrease in net interest income was due mostly to lower advance interest income, partially offset by lower interest expense. The Bank's advance interest income amounted to $69.0 million and $142.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $118.3 million and $227.5 million for the same periods in 2010. The decrease in advance interest income was due to lower interest rates, lower average advance volumes, and a decrease in advance prepayment fee income. Average advance volumes decreased due to the continued high level of liquidity in the market and the low loan demand experienced by the Bank's members. Advance prepayment fee income decreased due to fewer advance prepayments in 2011 compared to 2010. The Bank's interest expense decreased mainly due to lower average debt volumes resulting from reduced demand for advances and limited investment opportunities. In addition, as a result of lower interest rates, the Bank called $9.7 billion and $14.6 billion of bonds during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to replace this debt with lower-cost funding and reposition its balance sheet.
The Bank recorded other losses of $7.5 million and $14.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to other losses of $37.6 million and $35.1 million during the same periods in 2010. The decline in other losses from 2010 to 2011 was primarily due to lower net losses on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by decreased net gains on trading securities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank recorded net losses on derivatives and hedging activities of $16.1 million and $14.1 million compared to net losses of $64.8 million and $89.2 million for the same periods in 2010. The decrease during both periods of 2011 was due to reduced losses from economic derivatives. The Bank uses economic derivatives (e.g. interest rate swaps and interest rate caps) to manage interest rate risk, including mortgage prepayment risk. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, losses on economic derivatives were $20.1 million and $21.7 million compared to losses of $67.9 million and $92.5 million for the same periods in 2010. The majority of these losses were due to changes in interest rates on interest rate swaps economically hedging the Bank's trading securities portfolio.
The Bank's trading securities portfolio amounted to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2010. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected through other (loss) income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, net gains on trading securities were $7.8 million and $4.5 million compared to net gains of $32.4 million and $53.6 million for the same periods in 2010. The net gains on trading securities during both periods of 2011 and 2010 were primarily due to holding gains resulting from changes in interest rates. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Bank sold trading securities with a par value of $1.8 billion and $2.8 billion and realized net gains of $12.0 million and $23.7 million.
Balance Sheet Highlights
The Bank's total assets decreased to $51.6 billion at June 30, 2011 from $55.6 billion at December 31, 2010 and $59.5 billion at June 30, 2010. The declining trend in the Bank's assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in investments and advances. Investments decreased mainly due to principal paydowns on mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and a decrease in securities purchased under agreements to resell. At June 30, 2011, the Bank's private-label MBS represented only 0.4 percent of its total investment portfolio. These private-label MBS were performing and the Bank recorded no other-than-temporary impairment losses on these investments as of June 30, 2011. Advances decreased due to the continued high level of liquidity in the market and the low loan demand experienced by the Bank's members.
The Bank's total liabilities decreased to $48.8 billion at June 30, 2011 from $52.7 billion at December 31, 2010 and $56.5 billion at June 30, 2010. The declining trend in the Bank's liabilities was primarily attributable to a decrease in consolidated obligations resulting from a decline in total assets.
Total capital was $2.8 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and $2.9 billion at June 30, 2010. Retained earnings increased to $568.5 million at June 30, 2011 from $556.0 million at December 31, 2010 and $501.1 million at June 30, 2010.
Dividend
At its regular meeting in August, the Board of Directors is scheduled to review and approve the second quarter 2011 dividend. A dividend announcement is expected on or about August 11, 2011.
Additional financial information will be provided in the Bank's Second Quarter 2011 Form 10-Q available at www.fhlbdm.com or www.sec.gov on or about August 11, 2011.
