FHLBANK TOPEKA ANNOUNCES 2022 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

October 26, 2022 - FHLBank Topeka (FHLBank) is reporting net income of $66.9 million computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $37.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, FHLBank is reporting net income of $167.7 million compared to $114.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $29.5 million and $53.4 million increases in net income for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, were primarily a result of increases in net interest income and fluctuations in fair value of derivatives and trading securities, partially offset by increases in other expenses.

Net interest income increased $21.5 million for the quarter, from $73.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 to $94.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Net interest income increased $49.2 million for the current year-to-date period, from $213.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $263.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods was due primarily to an increase in the average yield and balance of advances, partially offset by an increase in the cost of debt.

FHLBank expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about November 10, 2022.

Operating Highlights
Net interest income/margin: Net interest income increased $21.5 million to $94.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $73.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net interest margin declined one basis point for the current quarter, from 0.61 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 to 0.60 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which primarily reflects the increase in short-term borrowing costs. The increase in interest income on advances was driven by an increase in yield and average balance, as discussed below. Prepayments continued to slow on mortgage-related assets, which increased interest income due to less premium amortization between periods. The increase in the cost of debt reflects the increase in market interest rates.
Total assets: Total assets increased from $48.0 billion as of December 31, 2021 to $63.5 billion as of September 30, 2022, predominantly driven by the $11.8 billion increase in advances between periods and a $3.2 billion increase in liquid investments.
Primary Mission Assets: Advances to members and housing associates and mortgage loans purchased from members are Primary Mission Assets because they are fundamental to the business and mission of FHLBank. The Primary Mission Asset ratio, as defined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is calculated as average advances and average mortgage loans to average consolidated obligations (less certain U.S. Treasury securities), based on year-to-date averages. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our Primary Mission Asset ratio was 80 percent and 77 percent, respectively.
Advances: Advances increased from $23.5 billion at December 31, 2021 to $35.3 billion at September 30, 2022. The average balance of advances increased $12.6 billion, or 54.7 percent, and the average yield increased 184 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the prior year period. Advance demand has increased as members' earning assets have grown and deposit outflows have increased throughout our district. Members have also increased advance utilization as a source of on-balance sheet liquidity and to manage funding costs in a rising interest rate environment.
Mortgage loans: Mortgage loans decreased slightly, from $8.1 billion as of December 31, 2021 to $8.0 billion as of September 30, 2022, representing 12.6 percent of total assets as of September 30, 2022, compared to 16.9 percent as of December 31, 2021. The average balance of mortgage loans decreased $0.3 billion, or 3.6 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the prior year period.
Performance ratios: Return on average equity (ROE) increased to 8.07 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 5.40 percent for the prior year quarter due to the increase in net income for the current quarter, partially offset by the increase in average capital.
Dividends: The Class A Common Stock dividend rate of 2.25 percent per annum and the Class B Common Stock dividend rate of 7.75 percent per annum combined for a weighted average dividend rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of 6.94 percent, which is 468 basis points above the average daily interest rate on reserve balances for the quarter.

Housing and Community Development Programs
FHLBank sets aside a portion of its profits for grants that support affordable housing. These funds assist members in providing financing for owner-occupied and rental housing affordable to very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. For the first nine months of 2022, $18.6 million of Affordable Housing Program (AHP) funding has been set aside for members for the 2023 program, compared to $12.7 million set aside in the prior year period for the 2022 program. Since the inception of the AHP in 1990, FHLBank has awarded nearly $342.5 million in subsidies towards the creation, rehabilitation, or purchase of more than 61,000 units of affordable housing.

Financial Highlights
Attached are highlights of FHLBank’s financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and results of operations for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures
Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding FHLBank's operating results and provide meaningful period-to-period comparison of FHLBank's long-term economic value in contrast to GAAP results, which are impacted by temporary fair value changes and other factors driven by market volatility, gains/losses on instrument sales, or transactions that are considered unpredictable or non-routine that reduce comparability between periods.

This earnings release contains certain supplemental financial information that has been determined by methods other than GAAP that management uses in the analysis of FHLBank’s financial performance. FHLBank management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding FHLBank's operating results and provide meaningful period-to-period comparison of FHLBank's long-term economic value in contrast to GAAP results, which can be impacted by fair value changes driven by market volatility, gains/losses on instrument sales, or transactions that are considered unpredictable. FHLBank's business model is primarily one of holding assets and liabilities to maturity. However, FHLBank may engage in periodic instrument sales for liquidity purposes or to reduce its exposure to LIBOR-indexed instruments. FHLBank reports the following non-GAAP financial measures in the previous tables that it believes are useful to stakeholders as key measures of its operating performance: (1) adjusted income, (2) adjusted net interest income, (3) adjusted net interest margin, and (4) adjusted ROE. Although FHLBank calculates its non-GAAP financial measures consistently from period to period using appropriate GAAP components, non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Another material limitation associated with the use of the above non-GAAP financial measures is that they have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. While FHLBank believes the non-GAAP measures contained in this announcement are frequently used by FHLBank’s stakeholders in the evaluation of FHLBank's performance, such non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
