Financial Results Discussion

Net Income - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Bank recorded net income of $250 million and $441 million compared to $99 million and $153 million for the same periods in 2022. The increase in net income for both periods was driven by an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decline in other income (loss) and an increase in other expense.

Net Interest Income - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income increased $212 million and $395 million when compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase for both periods was driven primarily by higher interest rates, which improved earnings on invested capital, and growth in advance balances.

Other Income (Loss) - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, other income (loss) decreased $42 million and $57 million when compared to the same periods in 2022. The decline for both periods was primarily driven by changes in fair value on the Bank’s trading securities, fair value option instruments, and economic derivatives.

Other Expense - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, other expense increased $2 million and $20 million when compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a $12 million voluntary contribution to the Bank’s Member Impact Fund.

Assets - The Bank’s total assets increased to $180.2 billion at June 30, 2023, from $164.2 billion at December 31, 2022, driven primarily by an increase in advances and investments. Advances increased $2.9 billion due mainly to an increase in borrowings by depository institution members. Investments increased $12.1 billion primarily due to an increase in short-term investments of $8.9 billion, mainly securities purchased under agreements to resell and federal funds sold, as well as the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities.

Capital - Total capital increased to $9.2 billion at June 30, 2023 from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in retained earnings and activity-based capital stock resulting from an increase in advance balances.
