Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We use acronyms and terms throughout these notes to financial statements that are defined herein or in the Glossary of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Bank," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain disclosures that would have substantially duplicated the disclosures in the financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our 2017 Form 10-K have been omitted unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our 2017 Form 10-K.

The financial statements contain all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full calendar year or any other interim period.

Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in our 2017 Form 10-K in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no significant changes to these policies through March 31, 2018. However, see Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance.

Use of Estimates. When preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. The most significant estimates pertain to derivatives and hedging activities, fair value, the provision for credit losses, and OTTI. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior period to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, total capital, net income, total comprehensive income, or net cash flows.

Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance outlines a comprehensive model for recognizing revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. In addition, this guidance amends the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. This guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of certain other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, or lease contracts.

The guidance, which included subsequent amendments, was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.

The guidance was effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15). On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued amendments intended to reduce diversity in practice in how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified on the statement of cash flows for certain transactions.

These amendments were adopted on a retrospective basis effective beginning on January 1, 2018. As a result, the amount of interest payments as reported in the supplemental disclosures increased by $22,290 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of these amendments had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07). On March 10, 2017, the FASB issued amendments to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendments require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net pension and benefit cost. The amendments also provide explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement.

These amendments were effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The adoption of these amendments had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the amendments were applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost on the income statement, which resulted in a reclassification from compensation and benefits to other expenses for the non-service components of $527 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Contractual Maturity. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of non-MBS AFS securities are presented below by contractual maturity. MBS are not presented by contractual maturity because their actual maturities will likely differ from their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of AFS securities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, we had no intention of selling the AFS securities in an unrealized loss position nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our individual AFS and HTM investment securities for OTTI, as disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Significant Inputs. The FHLBanks developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 7.0% to an increase of 12.0% over a twelve-month period. For the vast majority of markets, the changes range from an increase of 1.0% to an increase of 6.0%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Results of OTTI Evaluation Process - Private-label RMBS and ABS. As part of our evaluation, we did not have any change in intent to sell, nor were we required to sell, any OTTI security during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Therefore, we performed a cash flow analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of each security. As a result of our cash flow analysis, OTTI credit losses were recognized accordingly. We determined that the unrealized losses on the remaining private-label RMBS and ABS were temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Evaluation Process and Results - All Other AFS and HTM Securities.

Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of or support from the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2018 are considered temporary.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our top five borrowers held 43% and 45%, respectively, of total advances outstanding, at par. As security for the advances to these and our other borrowers, we held, or had access to, collateral with an estimated fair value at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 that was well in excess of the advances outstanding on those dates, respectively.

(1) 
The recorded investment in a loan is the UPB of the loan, adjusted for accrued interest, net of any deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts (which may include the basis adjustment related to any gain or loss on a delivery commitment prior to being funded) and direct charge-offs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.
(2) 
Includes loans for which the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative, such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status, but are not necessarily considered to be on non-accrual status.
(3) 
Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal and interest amounts previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Our servicers repurchase seriously delinquent government loans, including FHA loans, when certain criteria are met.
(4) 
Although our past due scheduled/scheduled MPP loans are classified as loans past due 90 days or more based on the loan's delinquency status, we do not consider these loans to be on non-accrual status.

Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative transactions.

Uncleared Derivatives. For certain of our uncleared derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on uncleared derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all uncleared derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at March 31, 2018 was $839, for which we were not required to post collateral. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $314 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we would not have been required to deliver additional collateral to our uncleared derivative counterparties at March 31, 2018.

Cleared Derivatives. For cleared derivatives, the clearinghouse is our counterparty. We use LCH and CME as clearinghouses for all cleared derivative transactions. Collateral is required to be posted daily for changes in the value of cleared derivatives to mitigate each counterparty's credit risk. The clearinghouse notifies the clearing agent of the required initial and variation margin, and the clearing agent notifies us.

Effective January 3, 2017, CME made certain amendments to its rulebook, including changing the legal characterization of variation margin payments to be daily settled contracts, rather than cash collateral. Variation margin payments related to LCH contracts were characterized as cash collateral until January 16, 2018, when LCH changed the characterization of variation margin payments to be daily settled contracts, consistent with CME. Initial margin continues to be considered by both clearinghouses as cash collateral.

Includes the effect of derivatives in fair-value hedging relationships on net interest income that is recorded in the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged items. Excludes the interest income/expense of the respective hedged items, which fully offset the interest income/expense of the derivatives, except to the extent of any hedge ineffectiveness. Net interest settlements on derivatives that are not in fair-value hedging relationships are reported in other income (loss). These amounts do not include the effect of amortization/accretion related to fair value hedging activities.

Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations

In addition to being the primary obligor for all consolidated obligations issued on our behalf, we are jointly and severally liable with each of the other FHLBanks for the payment of the principal and interest on all FHLBank outstanding consolidated obligations. The par values of the FHLBanks' outstanding consolidated obligations was $1.0 trillion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. As provided by the Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of all FHLBanks.

Note 12 - Capital
    
Stock Redemption and Repurchase. Through March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, certain members had requested redemptions of their Class B stock, but the related stock totaling $5,144 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was not considered mandatorily redeemable and reclassified to MRCS because the requesting members may revoke their requests, without substantial penalty, throughout the five-year waiting period. Therefore, these requests are not considered sufficiently substantive in nature. However, we consider redemption requests related to mergers, acquisitions or charter terminations, as well as involuntary terminations from membership, to be sufficiently substantive when made and, therefore, the related stock is considered mandatorily redeemable and reclassified to MRCS.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss for which we could be liable has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these proceedings could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Additional discussion of other commitments and contingencies is provided in Note 6 - Advances; Note 7 - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities; Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations; Note 12 - Capital; and Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values.

In December 2016, we agreed to sell a 90% participating interest in a $100 million MCC of certain newly acquired MPP loans to the FHLBank of Atlanta. Principal amounts settled in December 2016 totaled $72 million, and the remaining $18 million settled in January 2017.

Note 18 - Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2018, we made the decision to sell, and on May 2, 2018 executed a sale of, all of our private-label RMBS and ABS (par value of $250 million at sale). A net realized gain of approximately $32 million associated with the sale will be recorded in the second quarter of 2018.





Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Presentation 

This discussion and analysis by management of the Bank's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our 2017 Form 10-K and the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements contained in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts disclosed in this Item are rounded to the nearest million; therefore, dollar amounts of less than one million may not be reflected and, due to rounding, may not appear to agree to the amounts presented in thousands in the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements. Amounts used to calculate dollar and percentage changes are based on numbers in the thousands. Accordingly, calculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.

Executive Summary
 
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that serves as a financial intermediary between the capital markets and our members. We primarily make secured loans in the form of advances to our members and purchase whole mortgage loans from our members. Additionally, we purchase other investments and provide other financial services to our members. Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members. As an FHLBank, we are generally designed to expand and contract in asset size as the needs of our members and their communities change over time.

Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and long- and short-term investments.
 
Our net interest income is primarily determined by the spread between the interest rate earned on our assets and the interest rate paid on our share of the consolidated obligations. We use funding and hedging strategies to manage the related interest-rate risk.

Due to our cooperative structure and wholesale nature, we typically earn a narrow net interest spread. Accordingly, our net income is relatively low compared to our total assets and capital.

We group our products and services within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.

Economic Environment. The Bank’s financial performance is influenced by a number of regional and national economic and market factors, including the behavior of interest rates and price levels, monetary and fiscal policy changes, employment levels, and the strength of housing markets.

As expected, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps at its meeting in March 2018, the sixth rate hike since it began to raise rates in December 2015. The current federal funds target range is 1.50% - 1.75%. Both core and headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) remain near the 2% target inflation level at 1.9% and 2.3%, respectively. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index (PCE deflator), the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, was 1.8% in the first quarter of 2018. The current economic conditions of near full employment, close to target inflation levels, and recently added fiscal stimulus will justify continued rate hikes, barring significant unforeseen circumstances. As short-term rates have increased, the Treasury yield curve has become much closer to flat. Yields on U.S. Treasuries increased during the first quarter of 2018 relative to the prevailing yields at the end of the fourth quarter 2017. The yield on the ten-year Treasury note increased from 2.46% at the beginning of the first quarter to 2.74% at the end of the quarter, reaching a quarterly high point of 2.94% in late February.

Equity markets have shown increased volatility in the first quarter of 2018 after several mild quarters and the S&P 500 posted its first quarterly decline since the third quarter of 2015, with losses across most market sectors. Corporate earnings have continued to increase and have been boosted significantly by stock buybacks. Stock repurchases have progressively increased from approximately $40 billion in 2010 to $150 billion in the 12 months ended March 31, 2018.





During the first quarter, the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figure for the fourth quarter of 2017 was revised to an annualized 2.9% from 2.5%. The length of the current economic expansion has far surpassed long-term averages. The historical average length of a U.S. economic recovery cycle is 47 months, while the current expansion is at 105 months. The strength of this recovery, however, has been lower than average. The post-war average year-over-year GDP growth during a recovery is 2.8%, while the current year-over-year growth rate is 2.2%. Primary growth components in the first quarter have remained mostly unchanged, and personal consumption remains the largest growth component. The net export deficit increased from 2.7% for the fourth quarter of 2017 to 3.0% for the first quarter of 2018, causing a continued drag on overall real GDP. Historically, the largest impact on economic growth has been the expansion in the working age population followed by growth in real output. Working age population growth has been over 1% since 1977, but from 2007-2016 it dropped to 0.6% and the U.S. Census Bureau forecasts 10-year growth of just 0.3%. After significant growth of 1.8% in the period 1998-2007, mostly due to internet development and automation, real output growth is forecast to be just 0.9% over the next ten years. Aging demographics and declining productivity growth have served to dampen GDP growth potential and inflationary pressures over this recovery cycle.

Despite strong continued job growth, wage growth has remained muted throughout most of this expansion cycle. The strong labor market, demonstrated by a low and stable 3.9% unemployment rate in April 2018, has shown regular improvements since the peak unemployment rate of 10% in October 2009. The U.S. economy has produced over two million jobs annually for each of the past six years; however, many of those jobs are part-time or seasonal positions offering lower wages and low or no benefits. The national long-term unemployment rate has declined significantly over the past 12 months, while the labor force participation rate has remained stable. Since 2010, every sector in the economy has added significant jobs except for the government sector, which has seen the number of jobs decline by 0.1% since 2010. Both Indiana and Michigan have shown improvement in labor conditions. In March 2018, the unemployment rate in Michigan remained slightly above the national average at 4.7%, while the unemployment rate in Indiana was only 3.2%.

Impact on Operating Results. Market interest rates and trends affect yields and margins on earning assets, including advances, purchased mortgage loans, and our investment portfolio, all of which contribute to our overall profitability. Additionally, market interest rates drive mortgage origination and prepayment activity, which can lead to both favorable and unfavorable interest margin volatility in our MPP and MBS portfolios. A flat yield curve, in which the difference between short-term interest rates and long-term interest rates is low, can have an unfavorable impact on our net interest margins.

Lending and investing activity by our member institutions is a key driver for our balance sheet and income growth. Such activity is a function of both prevailing interest rates and economic activity. Positive economic trends could drive interest rates higher, which could impair growth of the mortgage market. A less active mortgage market could affect demand for advances and activity levels in our MPP Advantage. However, borrowing patterns between our insurance company and depository members tend to differ during various economic and market conditions, thereby easing the potential magnitude of core business fluctuations during business cycles. Member demand for liquidity during stressed market conditions can lead to advances growth.

Local economic factors, particularly relating to the housing and mortgage markets, influence demand for advances and MPP sales activity by our member institutions.

Includes restricted retained earnings at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of $193 million and $183 million, respectively.
(3) 
Total capital less AOCI plus MRCS.

The decrease in total assets at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily driven by a decrease in advances outstanding. The decrease in total liabilities at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was attributable to a net decrease in consolidated obligations, primarily related to the decrease in the Bank's advances outstanding. The increase in total capital at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily a result of additional capital stock issued to members and unrealized gains on AFS securities. The growth of retained earnings also contributed to the increase.

(1) 
Annualized. 
(2) 
Consists of AFS and HTM securities. The average balances of investment securities are based on amortized cost; therefore, the resulting yields do not reflect changes in the estimated fair value of AFS securities that are a component of OCI, nor do they reflect OTTI-related non-credit losses. Interest income/expense includes the effects of associated derivative transactions.
(3) 
Interest income/expense and average yield include all other components of interest, including the impact of net interest payments or receipts on derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships, amortization of hedge accounting adjustments, and prepayment fees on advances.
(4) 
Consists of interest-bearing deposits and loans to other FHLBanks (if applicable). Includes the rights or obligations to cash collateral, except for variation margin payments characterized as daily settled contracts. The 2017 amounts also include grantor trust assets that are included in other assets in 2018.
(5) 
Includes changes in the estimated fair value of AFS securities and the effect of OTTI-related non-credit losses on AFS and HTM securities.
(6)
Annualized net interest income expressed as a percentage of the average balance of interest-earning assets.





The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the corresponding period in 2017 was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of assets throughout the quarter.

Yields. The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 2.10%, an increase of 56 bps compared to the corresponding period in 2017, resulting primarily from increases in market interest rates that led to higher yields on advances and investment securities. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities was 1.73%, an increase of 57 bps due to higher funding costs on consolidated obligations. The net effect was a decrease in the net interest spread to 0.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 0.38% for the corresponding period in 2017.

Average Balances. The average balances of interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased compared to the corresponding period in 2017, largely due to advances and, to a lesser extent, mortgage loans and investment securities. The average balance of advances outstanding increased by 18%, generally driven by member funding needs. The average outstanding balance of mortgage loans held for portfolio increased by 9%, due to strong demand by our members for MPP Advantage. The increase in the average balances of investment securities was due primarily to purchases of agency MBS to maintain an MBS-to-regulatory capital ratio near 300%. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to an increase in consolidated obligations to fund the increases in the average balances of all interest-earning assets.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Provision for Credit Losses. The change in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the corresponding period in 2017 was insignificant.

The change in total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the corresponding period in 2017 was primarily due to net gains on derivatives and hedging activities.

Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. For the hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting, the differences between the change in the estimated fair value of the hedged items and the change in the estimated fair value of the associated interest-rate swaps, i.e., hedge ineffectiveness, resulted in a net gain of $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $4 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The estimated fair values are based on a wide range of factors, including current and projected levels of interest rates, credit spreads and volatility.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To the extent those hedges did not qualify for hedge accounting, or ceased to qualify because they were determined to be ineffective, only the change in the fair value of the derivative was recorded in earnings with no offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item. For the derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting (economic hedges), the net interest settlements and the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives were recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. For economic hedges, the Bank recorded a net loss of $598 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $351 thousand for the corresponding period in 2017.

Includes accrued interest receivable, premises, software and equipment, derivative assets and other miscellaneous assets.

Total assets were $61.4 billion as of March 31, 2018, a net decrease of $1.0 billion or 2% compared to December 31, 2017, driven primarily by a decrease in advances outstanding. The mix of our total assets changed slightly, primarily due to the decrease in advances.
 
Advances. Advances at carrying value totaled $33.0 billion at March 31, 2018, a net decrease of $1.1 billion or 3% compared to December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in short-term advances outstanding.
 
Advances to depository members - comprising commercial banks, savings institutions and credit unions - decreased by 1%. Advances to insurance company members decreased by 5%. Advances to depository institutions, as a percent of total advances outstanding, increased from 55% at December 31, 2017 to 56% at March 31, 2018, while advances to all insurance companies decreased from 45% to 44% at those dates.

Our advance portfolio includes callable or prepayable and putable advances. For prepayable advances, the advance can be prepaid on specified dates without incurring repayment or termination fees. All other advances may only be prepaid by the borrower paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance. Ignoring lockout dates, callable or prepayable advances totaled $9.0 billion, or 27%, and $8.9 billion, or 26%, of advances outstanding, at par, at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Advances due in one year or less decreased from 50% of the total outstanding, at par, at December 31, 2017 to 48% of the total outstanding, at par, at March 31, 2018, reflecting members' decreased demand for short-term funding.

The increase in the UPB of mortgage loans held for portfolio was due to purchases under MPP Advantage exceeding repayments of outstanding MPP and MPF Program loans. Over time, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP and the MPF Program will continue to decrease.

We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period, which we have estimated to be 24 months. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity, but before credit enhancements, was $4 million at March 31, 2018 and $5 million at December 31, 2017. After consideration of the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, the resulting allowance for MPP loan losses was less than $1 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2017 Form 10-K.

During the third quarter of 2017, major hurricanes caused substantial damage to property in several states on the southeastern coasts of the United States. The Bank has sought to analyze the potential impact of the hurricanes on the Bank’s mortgage loans held for portfolio. Because all or a portion of any incurred losses would be covered by the credit enhancements in place and because there is no concentration of the Bank's loans in the affected states, we did not record any additional allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2018, and we do not expect that any net losses resulting from the hurricanes will have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. Cash and short-term investments totaled $4.4 billion at March 31, 2018, a decrease of 5% compared to December 31, 2017. However, cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets were 7% at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Investment Securities. AFS securities totaled $7.2 billion at March 31, 2018, a net increase of 1% compared to $7.1 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase resulted substantially from purchases of GSE MBS to maintain a ratio of MBS and ABS to total regulatory capital of up to 300%.

Net unrealized gains on AFS securities totaled $144 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $23 million compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility.

HTM securities totaled $6.0 billion at March 31, 2018, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of our HTM securities totaled $6.0 billion, of which $2.4 billion was in an unrealized loss position, a decrease of 15% from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2017, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. The associated unrealized losses increased from $12 million at December 31, 2017 to $18 million at March 31, 2018.

The mix of fixed- vs. variable-rate securities was relatively unchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2018. However, substantially all of the fixed-rate AFS securities are swapped to effectively create variable-rate securities, consistent with our balance sheet strategies to manage interest-rate risk.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities were $58.4 billion at March 31, 2018, a net decrease of 2% compared to December 31, 2017, substantially due to a decrease in consolidated obligations.

Deposits (Liabilities). Total deposits were $457 million at March 31, 2018, a decrease of 19% compared to December 31, 2017. These deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding. The balances of these accounts can fluctuate from period to period and vary depending upon such factors as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and members' liquidity.

Consolidated Obligations. The carrying value of consolidated obligations outstanding at March 31, 2018 totaled $57.3 billion, a net decrease of $919 million or 2% from December 31, 2017, primarily due to the decrease in advances outstanding.

We maintain a liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and financial liabilities. Additionally, the FHLBanks work collectively to manage FHLB System-wide liquidity and funding and jointly monitor System-wide refinancing risk. In managing and monitoring the amounts of assets that require refunding, the FHLBanks may consider contractual maturities of the financial assets, as well as certain assumptions regarding expected cash flows (i.e., estimated prepayments and scheduled amortizations). See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 3 - Available-for-Sale Securities, Note 6 - Advances, and Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations for more detailed information regarding contractual maturities of certain of our financial assets and liabilities.





Derivatives. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had derivative assets, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $140 million and $128 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $2 million and $3 million, respectively. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by changes in the derivatives' respective underlying interest-rate indices.

The volume of derivative hedges is often expressed in terms of notional amounts, which is the amount upon which interest payments are calculated. The following table presents the notional amounts by type of hedged item whether or not it is in a qualifying hedge relationship ($ amounts in millions).

Total Capital. Total capital at March 31, 2018 was $3.0 billion, a net increase of $63 million or 2% compared to December 31, 2017. This increase was due primarily to additional capital stock issued to members and unrealized gains on AFS securities. The growth of retained earnings also contributed to the increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of cash and short-term investments and the issuance of consolidated obligations. Our cash and short-term investments portfolio totaled $4.4 billion at March 31, 2018. During the first three months of 2018, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations totaled $94.3 billion.

As discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2017 Form 10-K, issuance of new liquidity requirements or guidance in the future could substantially change the amount and characteristics of liquidity that we are required to maintain. We have not identified any other trends, demands, commitments, or events that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity.

Changes in Cash Flow. Net cash provided by operating activities was $165 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the change in the legal characterization of variation margin payments to be daily settled contracts.

The increase in excess stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018 resulted primarily from the decrease in advances outstanding.

Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to issue excess stock under certain circumstances, including when its total excess stock exceeds 1% of total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause total excess stock to exceed 1% of total assets. Our excess stock at March 31, 2018 was 0.7% of our total assets. Therefore, subject to these regulatory limitations, we are currently permitted to issue new excess stock to members and distribute stock dividends, should we choose to do so.

Capital Distributions. On April 26, 2018, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 4.25% (annualized) on our Class B-1 capital stock and 3.40% (annualized) on our Class B-2 capital stock.





Adequacy of Capital. We must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operations risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with the risk-based capital requirement at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 ($ amounts in millions).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2018, principal previously paid in full by our MPP servicers totaling $1 million remains subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties. An estimate of the losses is included in the MPP allowance for loan losses. For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2017 Form 10-K. For information on additional commitments and contingencies, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.
 
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We determined that four of our accounting policies and estimates are critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These accounting policies pertain to:

Derivatives and hedging activities (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more detail);
Fair value estimates (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values for more detail);
Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more detail); and
OTTI (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment for more detail).

A full discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2017 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.

Provision for Credit Losses.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.

As part of our loan loss analysis at December 31, 2017, we considered an adverse scenario whereby we used a haircut on our underlying collateral values of 20% for delinquent conventional loans, including individually evaluated loans. We consider such a haircut to represent the most distressed scenario that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. In this distressed scenario, while holding all other assumptions constant, our estimated incurred losses remaining after borrowers' equity, but before credit enhancements, would increase by approximately $3.1 million. However, such increase would be substantially offset by credit enhancements. Based upon subsequent changes in underlying collateral values, we would not expect this amount to have significantly changed at March 31, 2018. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses continues to be based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the loss emergence period that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.





Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. The following table presents the significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether any of our private-label RMBS and ABS was OTTI during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as well as the related current credit enhancement ($ amounts in millions).

(1) 
Weighted average based on UPB.
(2) 
The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to project the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the rating agency's classification at the time of origination.
(3) 
Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss.
(4) 
Modeling assumptions assume no payout from monoline bond insurers.

In addition to evaluating our private-label RMBS under a best estimate scenario, we perform a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario is primarily based on a short-term housing price forecast that is 5% lower than the best estimate scenario, followed by a recovery path with annual rates of housing price growth that are 33% lower than the best estimate.

The actual OTTI-related credit losses recognized in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $0. Under the more stressful scenario, the estimated OTTI-related credit losses for the same period totaled $14 thousand.

Additional information regarding OTTI of our private-label RMBS and ABS is provided in Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment.





Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments
 
Accounting Developments. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance for a description of how recent accounting developments may impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments.

Finance Agency Proposed Rule on Affordable Housing Program Amendments. On March 14, 2018, the Finance Agency published a proposed rule to amend the operating requirements of the FHLBanks’ AHPs. If adopted as proposed, among many other modifications, the AHP rule would: 
require an FHLBank to create its own scoring criteria that are designed to satisfy new regulatory outcome requirements, replacing the existing regulatory scoring guidelines;
permit an FHLBank to voluntarily increase its AHP homeownership set-aside program funding to 40% of its required annual AHP contributions (an increase from the current AHP rule’s 35% annual limit);
increase the maximum per-household set-aside grant amount to $22,000 with an annual housing price inflation adjustment (an increase from the current AHP rule’s fixed limit of $15,000);
remove the retention agreement requirement for owner-occupied units;
further align AHP monitoring with certain federal low-income tax programs;
increase threshold requirements for the number of units in certain project types, such as projects dedicated to homeless or special needs populations; and
authorize an FHLBank using market research empirical data to create special targeted grant programs as a sub-set of the regular AHP competitive funding program.
 
The rule, as proposed, would represent a substantial overhaul of the existing AHP regulation and fundamentally change the structure and methodology for awarding grants to affordable housing projects. The proposed rule would also increase AHP’s complexity and administrative burden. In particular, the proposed rule would require changes in the FHLBanks’ operations, communications, and information systems. It would also require increased board of directors and Affordable Housing Advisory Council action and increased communications and education with members and sponsors. We do not believe the rule, if adopted substantially as proposed, would materially impact our financial condition or results of operation, because, among other things, it would not increase the annual AHP funding requirement. However, we do expect to incur increased costs related to implementing the rule requirements and making adjustments to our systems. Additionally, if the rule is adopted as proposed, we anticipate a possible change to the types of projects that we may fund on a go-forward basis, with a commensurate impact on AHP sponsors and their respective communities. Comments on the proposed rule are due by June 12, 2018.





Risk Management

We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Market risk is discussed in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2017 Form 10-K for more information.

Credit Risk Management. We face credit risk on advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants.

Advances and Other Credit Products. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, advances to our insurance company members represented 44% and 45%, respectively, of our total advances, at par. The initial borrowing limit for our insurance company members (excluding captive insurance companies) is 25% of their total general account assets less money borrowed. As of March 31, 2018, no insurance company member had total credit products outstanding in excess of this threshold.

Effective February 19, 2016, new or renewed credit extensions to captive insurance companies that became members prior to September 12, 2014 are subject to certain regulatory restrictions relating to maturity dates and cannot exceed 40% of the member's total assets. As of March 31, 2018, one such captive insurance company member's total credit products previously outstanding exceeded the percentage limit. Therefore, no new or renewed credit extensions have been made to this member. We may impose additional restrictions on extensions of credit to our members, including captive insurance companies, at our discretion.

Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of advances in a few borrowers. As of March 31, 2018, our top borrower held 16% of total advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 43% of total advances outstanding, at par. As a result of this concentration, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers.

Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. Our policies restrict the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and high-quality long-term securities.

At March 31, 2018, we did not have any unsecured credit exposure to investments in United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total amount of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. These investments totaled 295% of total regulatory capital at March 31, 2018. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream.





The following table presents the carrying values of our investments, excluding accrued interest, grouped by credit rating and investment category. Applicable rating levels are determined using the lowest relevant long-term rating from S&P, Moody's and Fitch Ratings, Inc., each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Rating modifiers are ignored when determining the applicable rating level for a given counterparty or investment. Amounts reported do not reflect any subsequent changes in ratings, outlook, or watch status ($ amounts in millions).

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Measuring Market Risks
 
To evaluate market risk, we utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in MVE. Periodically, we conduct stress tests to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.
 
Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on those historical prices and market rates. The table below presents the VaR ($ amounts in millions).

Certain Market and Interest-Rate Risk Metrics under Potential Interest-Rate Scenarios. We also monitor the sensitivities of MVE and duration of equity to potential interest-rate scenarios. We measure potential changes in the market value to book value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus large parallel rate shifts. The following table presents certain market and interest-rate metrics under different interest-rate scenarios ($ amounts in millions).

(1) 
Given the current low interest rate environment, we adjusted the downward rate shocks to prevent the assumed interest rate from becoming negative.
(2) 
The change in the base MVE/book value of equity from December 31, 2017 resulted primarily from the change in market value of the assets and liabilities in response to changes in the market environment and changes in portfolio composition.
(3) 
We use interest-rate shocks in 50 bps increments to determine duration of equity.

Duration Gap. The base case duration gap was 0.10% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Use of Derivative Hedges in our 2017 Form 10-K for information about our use of derivative hedges.





Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of March 31, 2018, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer), and Chief Accounting Officer (the principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2018.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Additionally, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we may from time to time become a party to lawsuits involving various business matters. We are unaware of any lawsuits presently pending which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
There have been no material changes in the risk factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2017 Form 10-K.
