Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco Announces Second Quarter 2017 Operating Results
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27, 2017 — The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco today announced that its net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $80 million, compared with net income of $63 million for the second quarter of 2016.
The $17 million increase in net income primarily reflected a $27 million increase in net interest income related to higher average balances of interest-earning assets, combined with a higher net interest margin. The difference in net income also reflected a $7 million decrease in other income/loss primarily associated with the Bank's derivative and hedging activities.
During the first six months of 2017, total assets increased $10.0 billion, to $101.9 billion at June 30, 2017, from $91.9 billion at December 31, 2016, primarily reflecting an increase in period end advance balances, which increased to $55.2 billion at June 30, 2017, from $49.8 billion at December 31, 2016. In addition, investments increased $4.0 billion, to $45.0 billion at June 30, 2017, from $41.0 billion at December 31, 2016, primarily reflecting an increase in Federal funds sold.
Accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $116 million during the first six months of 2017, to $227 million at June 30, 2017, from $111 million at December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of improvement in the fair value of PLRMBS classified as available-for-sale.
As of June 30, 2017, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s total regulatory capital ratio was 6.2%, exceeding the 4.0% requirement. The Bank had $6.3 billion in permanent capital, exceeding its risk-based capital requirement of $2.1 billion. Total retained earnings as of June 30, 2017, were $3.2 billion.
Today, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the second quarter of 2017 at an annualized rate of 7.00%. The quarterly dividend rate is consistent with the Bank's dividend philosophy of endeavoring to pay a quarterly dividend at a rate between 5% and 7% annualized. The quarterly dividend will total $50 million, including $7 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock that will be reflected as interest expense in the third quarter of 2017. The Bank expects to pay the dividend on August 14, 2017.
