Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco Announces Second Quarter 2019 Operating Results

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2019 — The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco today announced that its net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $49 million, compared with net income of $104 million for the second quarter of 2018.

The $55 million decrease in net income relative to the prior-year period primarily reflected an increase in net fair value losses associated with derivatives, hedged items, and financial instruments carried at fair value, which reduced both net interest income and other income. The decline in net interest income was also due to retrospective adjustment of the effective yields on mortgage loans driven by a lower interest rate environment. In addition, other expenses increased by $5 million in the second quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting operating costs related to the relocation of the Bank's premises. These differences were partially offset by the $6 million reduction in the Affordable Housing Program assessment, which reflected the decline in pre-assessment net income.

Total assets decreased $2.5 billion during the first six months of 2019, to $106.8 billion at June 30, 2019, from $109.3 billion at December 31, 2018. Total advances decreased $6.2 billion, to $67.2 billion at June 30, 2019, from $73.4 billion at December 31, 2018. Investments increased $2.8 billion, to $35.2 billion at June 30, 2019, from $32.4 billion at December 31, 2018, primarily reflecting an increase in available-for-sale securities.

Accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $65 million during the first six months of 2019, to $300 million at June 30, 2019, from $235 million at December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of improvement in the fair value of mortgage-backed securities classified as available-for-sale.

As of June 30, 2019, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s total regulatory capital ratio was 6.1%, exceeding the 4.0% requirement. The Bank had $6.5 billion in permanent capital, exceeding its risk-based capital requirement of $1.7 billion. Total retained earnings as of June 30, 2019, were $3.4 billion.

Today, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the second quarter of 2019 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 $56 million, including $3 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock that will be reflected as interest expense in the third quarter of 2019. The Bank expects to pay the dividend on August 13, 2019.
