Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Announces Third Quarter 2012 Operating Highlights

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("Bank" or "FHLBNY") today released its unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.   

"Throughout the first nine months of 2012, the experienced and talented team at the FHLBNY has continued to act on our mission of providing our members with the liquidity they need to help meet the needs of the communities they serve," said Alfred A. DelliBovi, president and CEO of the Bank. "Our performance in the third quarter is reflective of the strength the FHLBNY has exhibited throughout 2012 as we work together with our region's local lenders to stabilize our recovering economy."

Highlights from the third quarter of 2012 include:

• Net income for the quarter was $88.4 million, an increase of $52.7 million, or 148 percent, from net income of $35.7 million for the third quarter of 2011.  Return on average equity ("ROE") for the quarter was 6.42 percent, compared to ROE of 2.72 percent for the third quarter of 2011.  The year-over-year increase in net income was due, in part, to stronger net interest income during the period, as well as fair value gains from hedging activities.

• Net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $276.9 million, an increase of $116.9 million, or 73.1 percent, from $160.0 million for the same period in 2011. 

• As of September 30, 2012, total assets were $107.1 billion, an increase of $4.7 billion, or 4.6 percent, from total assets of $102.4 billion at June 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, advances were $77.9 billion, an increase of $253.9 million from $77.6 billion at June 30, 2012.

• As of September 30, 2012, total capital was $5.5 billion, an increase of $15.4 million, or 0.28 percent, from June 30, 2012.  In addition, the Bank's unrestricted retained earnings grew during the quarter by $19.7 million to $785.4 million as of September 30, 2012.  The Bank also increased its restricted retained earnings by $17.7 million during the quarter to $79.4 million as of September 30, 2012.  At September 30, 2012, the Bank met its regulatory capital-to-assets ratios and liquidity requirements.
