Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco Announces Second Quarter 2013 Operating Results
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29, 2013 — The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco today announced that its net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $104 million, compared with net income of $91 million for the second quarter of 2012.
The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2013 reflected an increase in other income/(loss), partially offset by a decline in net interest income. Net interest income decreased to $114 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $216 million for the second quarter of 2012. This decline was due, in part, to lower average balances of advances, mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage loans; a decline in earnings on invested capital because of lower average capital balances and the lower interest rate environment; and an increase in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock, which are classified as interest expense. The increase in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock accounted for $29 million, or 28%, of the decline in net interest income.
Other income for the second quarter of 2013 was $36 million, compared to a loss of $82 million for the second quarter of 2012. The improvement in other income/(loss) for the second quarter of 2013 reflected a net gain associated with derivatives, hedged items, and financial instruments carried at fair value of $16 million, compared with a net loss of $55 million for the second quarter of 2012; net interest income on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, which was generally offset by net interest expense on the economically hedged assets and liabilities, of $19 million, compared with net interest expense of $7 million for the second quarter of 2012; and a de minimis credit-related other-than-temporary impairment charge on certain private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (PLRMBS), compared with a charge of $21 million for the prior-year period.
During the first six months of 2013, total assets decreased $1.3 billion, or 2%, to $85.1 billion at June 30, 2013, from $86.4 billion at December 31, 2012. Investments decreased $4.1 billion, or 10%, to $36.4 billion at June 30, 2013, from $40.5 billion at December 31, 2012. This decrease was partially offset by growth in advances, which increased $2.5 billion, or 6%, to $46.3 billion at June 30, 2013, from $43.8 billion at December 31, 2012. In total, 59 members increased their use of advances during the first six months of 2013, while 76 institutions reduced their advances borrowings.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss declined $440 million during the first six months of 2013, to $354 million at June 30, 2013, from $794 million at December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of improvement in the fair value of PLRMBS classified as available-for-sale.
As of June 30, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s total regulatory capital ratio was 11.30%, exceeding the 4.00% requirement. The Bank had $9.6 billion in regulatory capital, exceeding its risk-based capital requirement of $4.1 billion. Total retained earnings were $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2013.
The Bank repurchased $750 million in excess capital stock in the second quarter of 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank’s excess capital stock totaled $4.0 billion. In light of the Bank’s strong regulatory capital
position, the Bank plans to repurchase $750 million in excess capital stock on August 16, 2013. This repurchase, combined with the estimated redemption of up to $512 million in mandatorily redeemable capital stock during the third quarter, will reduce the Bank’s excess capital stock by up to $1.3 billion.
Today, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the second quarter of 2013 at an annualized rate of 5.14%. The Bank expects to pay the dividend (including dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock), which will total $97 million, on or about August 15, 2013.
