Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Declares Dividend and Reports Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On October 29, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") declared dividends on Class B-1 and Class B-2 capital stock at annualized rates of 3.50% and 2.80%, respectively. These dividends will be paid in cash on October 30, 2013.

Net Income for the third quarter of 2013 was $28.8 million. The decrease of $4.4 million compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to an acceleration of the amortization of pension benefits from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Other Expenses as a result of our former President - CEO's retirement, partially offset by unrealized gains on hedging activities. Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses decreased by $1.6 million or 3% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to lower net interest income, partially offset by the lower provision for credit losses.

Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $137.9 million. The increase of $30.1 million compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to unrealized gains on hedging activities and a net realized gain on the sale of private-label mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by the acceleration of the amortization of pension benefits. Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses increased by $3.2 million or 2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a reversal of a portion of the provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower net interest income.

Total Assets at September 30, 2013 were $39.6 billion, a net decrease of $1.7 billion or 4% compared to December 31, 2012. Advances outstanding totaled $18.8 billion. The net increase of 4% compared to December 31, 2012 was attributable to higher Advances to our insurance company members, partially offset by lower Advances to our depository members. Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio totaled $6.2 billion. The net increase of 3% compared to December 31, 2012 was attributable to purchases of mortgage loans under our MPP Advantage program and participation interests purchased from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka under our Mortgage Partnership Finance^® program. Investments totaled $14.0 billion. The net decrease of 17% compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to a managed reduction in short-term investments. 

Consolidated Obligations at September 30, 2013 totaled $35.4 billion. The net decrease of $904 million or 2% compared to December 31, 2012 was attributable to lower funding needs.

Total Capital at September 30, 2013 was $2.4 billion. The increase of $169.7 million or 8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of a net increase in Capital Stock of $49.7 million, a net increase in Retained Earnings of $95.0 million, and a favorable change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of $25.0 million.

Total Regulatory Capital at September 30, 2013 was $2.6 billion. The decrease of $50.7 million or 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due to repurchases of excess stock classified as Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock totaling $250 million in the first quarter of 2013. Our regulatory capital-to-assets ratio at September 30, 2013 was 6.6%, which exceeds all applicable regulatory capital requirements.

In October 2013, FHLBI completed additional repurchases of excess stock totaling $250 million, which consisted of Capital Stock under redemption requests of $95.5 million and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock of $154.5 million.

All amounts referenced above and in the following table are unaudited. More detailed information about our financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which we intend to file in mid-November.
