Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco Reports Third Quarter Operating Results

San Francisco -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco today announced that its net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $140 million, compared to $91 million for the third quarter of 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, the Bank's net income was $387 million, compared to $259 million for the first nine months of 2005.

Net interest income increased $39 million, or 22%, to $217 million for the third quarter of 2006 from $178 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net interest income increased $115 million, or 23%, to $611 million for the first nine months of 2006, from $496 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increases in net interest income were driven primarily by the effect of higher interest rates on higher average capital balances, combined with higher average interest-earning assets outstanding.

The net effect of fair value adjustments on trading securities, derivatives, and hedged items, after assessments, resulted in a net fair value gain of $3 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to a net fair value loss of $19 million in the third quarter of 2005. Most of the net fair value gain in the third quarter of 2006 and the net fair value loss in the third quarter of 2005 reflected unrealized fair value adjustments.

The net effect of fair value adjustments on trading securities, derivatives, and hedged items, after assessments, resulted in a net fair value gain of $2 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to a net fair value loss of $39 million in the first nine months of 2005. Most of the $2 million net fair value gain in the first nine months of 2006 reflected net fair value gains on the termination of hedges related to consolidated obligations. Most of the $39 million net fair value loss in the first nine months of 2005 reflected unrealized fair value adjustments.

Nearly all of the Bank's derivatives and hedged instruments are held to the maturity, call, or put date. For these derivatives and hedged items, net unrealized fair value gains or losses are primarily a matter of timing and will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms to maturity or by the exercised call or put dates. As of September 30, 2006, the cumulative effect of SFAS 133 was a net unrealized gain of $28 million.

During the first nine months of 2006, advances outstanding grew $11.6 billion, or 7%, from $162.9 billion to $174.5 billion. In total, 165 institutions increased their advance borrowings during the first nine months of 2006, while 86 institutions decreased their advance borrowings.

Total assets grew $8.1 billion, or 4%, during the first nine months of 2006, from $223.6 billion to $231.7 billion. In addition to the growth in advances, interest-bearing deposits in banks grew $5.7 billion, or 82%, from $6.9 billion to $12.6 billion. In contrast, Federal funds sold decreased $8.4 billion, or 49%, from $17.0 billion to $8.6 billion.

The dividend rate for the third quarter of 2006 is 5.54% (annualized), up from 4.58% for the third quarter of 2005. The Bank plans to pay the dividend in the form of capital stock on October 27, 2006. The Bank's annualized dividend rate for the first nine months of 2006 is 5.27%, compared to 4.35% for the first nine months of 2005. The increases in the dividend rate reflect a higher yield on invested capital, partially offset by higher REFCORP and AHP assessments and a lower net interest spread on the Bank's mortgage loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolio during the third quarter of 2006 and the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005.
