FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF NEW YORK
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2011 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
New York, NY The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) today released its unaudited financial highlights as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Throughout the second quarter of 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York remained a stable and reliable source of liquidity for our members, said Alfred A. DelliBovi, president and CEO of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. I am proud of our continued solid performance for our members, and our results for the quarter help strengthen the foundation for a good year.
Highlights from the second quarter of 2011 include:
| Net income for the quarter was $53.3 million, and return on average equity (ROE) was 4.35 percent. These figures compare to net income of $56.7 million and ROE of 5.74 percent for the first quarter of 2011. |
| As of June 30, 2011, total assets were $98.3 billion, a decrease of $1.9 billion, or 1.9 percent, from total assets of $100.2 billion as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in total assets from the end of 2010 was primarily a result of a decline in advances of $6.4 billion, or 7.9 percent, from $81.2 billion as of December 31, 2010, to $74.8 billion as of June 30, 2011. This decline in member demand for advances was driven by economic factors such as continued growth in members deposit bases and the availability of other liquidity options. |
| As of June 30, 2011, total capital was $5.3 billion, an increase of $135 million, or 2.6 percent, from $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2010. The higher capital level was largely due to the increase in the amount of capital stock held by the FHLBNYs membership. In addition, the FHLBNYs unrestricted retained earnings increased by $8.9 million to $721 million as of June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, the FHLBNY met its regulatory capital-to-assets ratios and liquidity requirements. |
The FHLBNY currently expects to submit its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2011 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August 13, 2011.
