Financial Results Discussion
Net Income - For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank recorded net income of $113 million and $360 million compared to $132 million and $402 million for the same periods in 2017. The decline in the Bank’s net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was driven by lower net interest income. In addition, net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was 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.
Net Interest Income - The Bank’s net interest income totaled $156 million and $480 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $174 million and $497 million for the same periods last year. The Bank’s net interest margin was 0.42 percent and 0.43 percent during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.40 percent and 0.38 percent for the same periods in 2017. The decline in net interest income was primarily due to lower average advance volumes offset in part by higher net interest margin. The increase in net interest margin was attributable to the higher interest rate environment offset in part by lower asset liability spreads due to increased costs on the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities.
Other Income (Loss) - The Bank recorded net gains of $7 million and $23 million in other income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net gains of $4 million and $45 million for the same periods last year. During the nine months ended September 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the three months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank recorded net gains of $9 million and $43 million on its derivatives and hedging activities through other income (loss) compared to net losses of $2 million and net gains of $1 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank recorded net losses on trading securities of $9 million and $33 million compared to net gains of $1 million and $10 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 $36 million and $101 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $30 million and $93 million for the same periods last year. Other expense was driven primarily by compensation and benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Assets - The Bank’s total assets decreased to $144.1 billion at September 30, 2018, from $145.1 billion at December 31, 2017, driven by a decrease in advances. Advances at September 30, 2018 decreased by $1.8 billion from advances at December 31, 2017 due primarily to a decrease in borrowings by a captive insurance company member and a large depository institution member, partially offset by an increase in borrowings from other financial institution types.
Liabilities - The Bank’s total liabilities decreased to $136.8 billion at September 30, 2018, from $138.1 billion at December 31, 2017, driven in part by a decrease in the amount of consolidated obligations needed to fund the Bank’s assets.
Capital - Total capital increased to $7.3 billion at September 30, 2018 from $7.0 billion at December 31, 2017, primarily due to an increase in retained earnings due to net income, partially offset by dividends paid. In addition, activity-based capital stock increased resulting from an increase in member activity. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratio increased to 5.18 percent at September 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.
