ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2014 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
New York, NY – The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) today announced its unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
“Our members rely on the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York to provide steady access to funding, as reflected in the nearly $100 billion in advances to our members in the third quarter,” said José R. González, president and CEO of the FHLBNY. “Our performance has been strong through the first nine months of 2014, and continues to position us to be a reliable partner to our members. Our reliability is the true value of our franchise.”
Highlights from the third quarter of 2014 include:
| • | Net income for the quarter was $85.6 million, an increase of $24.3 million, or 39.6 percent, from net income of $61.3 million for the third quarter of 2013. The prior year’s results include the correction of an overstatement of derivatives and hedging gains in prior quarters, which resulted in a negative impact of $15.5 million on net income for the third quarter of 2013. Return on average equity (“ROE”) for the third quarter of 2014 was 5.21 percent, compared to ROE of 3.95 percent for the third quarter of 2013. |
