Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Declares Dividends, Reports Earnings
Indianapolis, IN…Today the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBank Indianapolis" or "Bank") declared its third quarter 2020 dividends for the period ended September 25, 2020 on Class B-1 and Class B-2 capital stock at annualized rates of 3.00% and 2.40%, respectively.
As a result of implementing a revised capital plan effective September 26, 20201, the Board also declared dividends for the remaining five-day period of the quarter on Class B-2 activity-based stock at an annualized rate of 3.00% and Class B-1 non-activity-based stock at an annualized rate of 3.00%. Given the short period of time that the revised capital plan was in effect during the quarter, the Board declared the same rate on the Class B-1 stock as on the Class B-2 stock.
The dividends will be paid in cash on October 29, 2020.
"FHLBank Indianapolis is pleased to offer a competitive dividend during an ongoing pandemic," Cindy Konich, President and CEO, stated. "During the third quarter, we also introduced our revised capital plan, which provides members with simplified membership-stock calculations and additional activity-stock flexibility." Learn more about the capital plan at www.fhlbi.com.
Earnings Highlights
Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $15 million, a decrease of $11 million compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year due substantially to lower net earnings on trading securities2 and accelerated amortization of purchase premium resulting from higher prepayments on mortgage loans, both resulting from the decline in market interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by additional net interest income3 resulting from the Bank's growth in average asset balances and by lower net losses on qualifying fair-value hedging relationships.
1 The prior capital plan required that dividends on Class B-2 stock be calculated as 80% of the dividends declared on Class B-1 stock, while the revised capital plan permits the dividends on Class B-2 (activity-based) stock to be greater than or equal to the dividends on Class B-1 (non-activity-based) stock.
2 The Bank uses U.S. Treasury securities as part of its liquidity portfolio. Such securities are classified as trading securities, on which changes in fair value are recorded in other income. Changes in the estimated fair value of the associated economic hedging instruments are also recorded in other income.
3 FHLBank Indianapolis earns interest income on advances to and mortgage loans purchased from its Michigan and Indiana member financial institutions, as well as on long- and short-term investments. Net interest income is primarily determined by the spread between the interest earned on those assets and the interest cost of funding with consolidated obligations.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $58 million, a decrease of $36 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due substantially to accelerated amortization of purchase premium resulting from higher prepayments on mortgage loans and lower net earnings on trading securities, both resulting from the decline in market interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by additional net interest income resulting from the Bank's growth in average asset balances.
Hedging gains (losses) on qualifying fair-value hedging relationships4 are reported in net interest income. As a result, net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included net hedging losses of $2 million and $25 million, respectively, compared to net hedging losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $9 million and $31 million, respectively. In general, the Bank holds the derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. As a result, we expect that nearly all of the gains and losses on these financial instruments will reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged items.
Affordable Housing Program Allocation 5
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, FHLBank Indianapolis allocated $7 million to its Affordable Housing Program ("AHP"), which provides grant funding to support housing for low- and moderate-income families in Michigan and Indiana. Full year 2020 AHP allocations will be available to the Bank's members in 2021 to help address their communities' affordable housing needs, including construction, rehabilitation, accessibility improvements and homebuyer down-payment assistance.

4 The Bank uses interest-rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of certain of its advances, available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligations. These derivatives are designated as fair-value hedges. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative and, to the extent these relationships qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk are recorded in earnings.
5 Each year Federal Home Loan Banks ("FHLBanks") allocate to the AHP 10% of earnings, which is defined as income before assessments, plus interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.
