FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF NEW YORK

ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2021 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

New York, NY – The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) today released its unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.   

“The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York has the unique ability to expand or contract based on the needs of our members.  In the second quarter of last year, we served as a reliable source of liquidity to meet the enhanced need for funding at the onset of the pandemic.  In the year since, while funding needs have declined, we have remained a stable partner for our members and the communities we serve as we move towards recovery,” said José R. González, president and CEO of the FHLBNY.  “At the FHLBNY, we are proud of our ability to continue to meet our mission in all operating environments.”

Highlights from the second quarter of 2021 include:

· Net income for the quarter was $74.7 million, a decrease of $62.8 million, or 46 percent, from net income of $137.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net interest income for the quarter was $143.2 million, a decrease of $86.5 million, or 38 percent, from $229.7 million in the second quarter last year. This decrease was driven primarily by a decline of $38.3 billion in average advances balances from the prior year period.

· Return on average equity (“ROE”) for the quarter was 4.21 percent (annualized), compared to ROE of 6.45 percent for the second quarter of 2020.

· As of June 30, 2021, total assets were $120.4 billion, a decrease of $16.6 billion, or 12 percent, from total assets of $137.0 billion at December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, advances were $80.0 billion, a decrease of $12.1 billion, or 13 percent, from $92.1 billion at December 31, 2020.

· As of June 30, 2021, total capital was $6.8 billion, a decrease of $0.5 billion from total capital of $7.3 billion at December 31, 2020. The decrease in total capital was driven primarily by a decrease in capital stock resulting from lower advances balances during the period. The FHLBNY’s retained earnings increased by $14.0 million to $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2021, of which $1.1 billion were unrestricted retained earnings and $0.8 billion were restricted retained earnings. At June 30, 2021, the FHLBNY met its regulatory capital ratios.

· The FHLBNY allocated $8.3 million from its second quarter 2021 earnings for its Affordable Housing Program.

The FHLBNY currently expects to file its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2021 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or before August 11, 2021.
