Statements of Income

FHLBank’s net income totaled $111.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $149.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $37.5 million decrease in net income was driven primarily by the following:

• Net interest income was $167.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $29.3 million from $197.1 million during the same prior-year period.
  • Interest income was $1,115.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1,516.1 million in the same prior-year period. This decrease was driven by lower short-term interest rates and lower average advances.
  • Interest expense was $948.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1,319.0 million in the same prior-year period. This decrease was the result of lower short-term interest rates and lower average consolidated obligations.
• Noninterest income (loss) was $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $10.5 million in the same prior-year period. This $9.0 million decrease was due primarily to valuation changes in FHLBank’s derivative and trading securities portfolios resulting from interest rate volatility.
• Other expense was $32.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $30.9 million in the same prior-year period, an increase of $1.7 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits, including higher non-qualified benefit plan expense.
• Voluntary contributions to community investment products were $11.8 million, including a supplemental voluntary contribution to AHP of $1.3 million, for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $1.6 million compared to $10.2 million in the same prior-year period. FHLBank will continue to make voluntary contributions of at least 5% of the prior year's pre-assessment net income to voluntary community investment products, a commitment target of $35.3 million. In addition, FHLBank will continue to make a supplemental voluntary contribution to AHP to increase the pool of available AHP funds to the amount that would have been statutorily required, absent FHLBank’s voluntary contributions.
• Statutory AHP assessments were $12.5 million as a result of second quarter 2025 earnings, compared to $16.6 million in the same prior-year period.

FHLBank’s net income totaled $231.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $303.2 million for the same prior-year period. The $71.4 million decrease in net income was driven primarily by the following:

• Net interest income was $340.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $52.8 million from $392.8 million during the same prior-year period.
  • Interest income was $2,313.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3,055.2 million in the same prior-year period. This decrease was driven by lower short-term interest rates and lower average advances.
  • Interest expense was $1,973.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,662.4 million in the same prior-year period. This decrease was the result of lower short-term interest rates and lower average consolidated obligations.
• Noninterest income was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $25.4 million in the same prior-year period. This $24.0 million decrease was due primarily to valuation changes in FHLBank’s derivative and trading securities portfolios resulting from interest rate volatility.
• Other expense was $63.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $62.1 million in the same prior-year period, an increase of $1.4 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits, including non-qualified benefit plan expense.
• Voluntary contributions to community investment products were $18.8 million, including a supplemental voluntary contribution to AHP of $2.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.7 million compared to $17.1 million in the same prior-year period. FHLBank will continue to make voluntary contributions of at least 5% of the prior year's pre-assessment net income to voluntary community investment products, a commitment target of $35.3 million. In addition, FHLBank will continue to make a supplemental voluntary contribution to AHP to increase the pool of available AHP funds to the amount that would have been statutorily required, absent FHLBank's voluntary contributions.
• Statutory AHP assessments were $25.8 million based on earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $33.8 million in the same prior-year period.

Statements of Condition

At June 30, 2025, total assets were $89.3 billion, compared with $106.9 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in advances, which totaled $52.5 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $69.9 billion at year-end 2024. Demand for advances continues to be driven by members’ liquidity management practices, which are influenced by their loan demand, deposit balances and investment activities. Although advances decreased, it is not uncommon for fluctuations in advances to be driven by changes in member needs.

Total capital at June 30, 2025, was $5.1 billion, compared to $5.6 billion at December 31, 2024, including retained earnings of $2.2 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, FHLBank remained in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements.

Quarterly Dividends

The Board of Directors declared a dividend on subclass B1 (membership) stock equal to an annual yield of 4.85% and a dividend on subclass B2 (activity) stock equal to an annual yield of 9.50%. These dividends will be calculated on stockholders’ average balances during the period April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, and be credited to stockholders’ accounts on July 25, 2025.

Looking forward, market, geopolitical, and business conditions can impact FHLBank’s overall performance, as well as the levels of future dividends. FHLBank’s intent is to continue to provide meaningful shareholder return; future dividend rates may not correspond directly with the pace or direction of interest rate changes.

Detailed financial information regarding second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, financial results will be available in FHLBank’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which FHLBank anticipates filing no later than August 12, 2025.
