Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings
DALLAS, TX – February 25, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) today reported net income of $17.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank reported net income of $81.8 million.
Total assets at December 31, 2012 were $35.8 billion, compared with $35.2 billion at September 30, 2012 and $33.8 billion at December 31, 2011. The $0.6 billion increase in total assets for the fourth quarter was attributable to an increase in the Bank’s short-term liquidity portfolio ($1.7 billion) offset by a decline in its advances ($1.1 billion). For the year ended December 31, 2012, the $2.0 billion increase in total assets was attributable primarily to increases in the Bank’s short-term liquidity portfolio ($2.8 billion) and its long-term available-for-sale securities portfolio ($0.9 billion), which were offset by declines in the Bank’s long-term held-to-maturity securities portfolio ($1.2 billion) and advances ($0.4 billion).
Advances totaled $18.4 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $19.5 billion at September 30, 2012 and $18.8 billion at December 31, 2011. The Bank’s lending activities remained relatively subdued during the year due largely to members’ high deposit levels and weak demand for loans at member institutions.
Due to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities (MBS), the Bank’s held-to-maturity securities portfolio declined from $6.4 billion at December 31, 2011 to $5.2 billion at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012. The unpaid principal balance of the Bank’s investments in non-agency (private-label) residential MBS (RMBS), all of which are classified as held-to-maturity, totaled $255.6 million at December 31, 2012, compared with $266.9 million at September 30, 2012 and $316.7 million at December 31, 2011. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank acquired approximately $0.5 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, of U.S. agency MBS. The Bank’s long-term available-for-sale securities portfolio, which is comprised entirely of U.S. agency and other highly rated debentures, increased from $4.9 billion at December 31, 2011 to $5.8 billion at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 due to purchases of additional debentures. The Bank’s short-term liquidity portfolio (comprised primarily of non-interest bearing excess cash balances, overnight federal funds sold and overnight reverse repurchase agreements) totaled $6.1 billion at December 31, 2012, as compared to $4.4 billion at September 30, 2012 and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2011.
The Bank’s retained earnings increased to $571.9 million at December 31, 2012, from $555.8 million at September 30, 2012 and $494.7 million at December 31, 2011. Accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to the non-credit portion of other-than-temporary impairment losses on the Bank’s non-agency RMBS holdings declined from $43.7 million at September 30, 2012 and $51.4 million at December 31, 2011 to $41.4 million at December 31, 2012. Accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to net unrealized gains on the Bank’s available-for-sale securities portfolio totaled $22.5 million, $11.6 million and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Additional selected financial data as of and for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 is set forth below. Further discussion and analysis regarding the Bank’s results will be included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
