Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Announces First Quarter 2024 Operating Highlights

ATLANTA, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the Bank) today released preliminary unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. All numbers reported below for the first quarter of 2024 are approximate until the Bank announces unaudited financial results in its Form 10-Q, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about May 10, 2024.

Operating Results for the First Quarter 2024

  • Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $194 million, an increase of $71 million, compared to net income of $123 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in net income was primarily due to an $80 million increase in net interest income.

  • The increases in net interest income and net income were primarily due to an increase in interest rates which impacted income from interest-earning assets more than the expense from interest-bearing liabilities. The net yield on interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2024 was 66 basis points, an increase of 27 basis points, compared to 39 basis points for the same period in 2023. Many of the Bank's assets and liabilities are indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Average daily SOFR during the first quarter of 2024 was 5.31 percent compared to 4.50 percent for the same period in 2023.

  • The Bank's first quarter 2024 performance resulted in an annualized return on average equity (ROE) of 9.24 percent as compared to 5.92 percent for the same period in 2023. The increase in ROE was primarily due to the increase in net income during the quarter.

Financial Condition Highlights

  • Total assets were $142.8 billion as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $9.6 billion from December 31, 2023.

  • Advances outstanding were $96.6 billion as of March 31, 2024, remaining relatively stable from December 31, 2023.

  • Total capital was $8.2 billion as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $132 million from December 31, 2023. Retained earnings increased to $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2024, compared to $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2023.

  • As of March 31, 2024, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital and liquidity requirements.

Reliable Source of Liquidity

  • During the first quarter of 2024, the Bank originated a total of $77 billion of advances, thereby providing significant liquidity to its members to support lending and other activities in their communities. The Bank is proud to continue to execute on its mission to be a reliable source of liquidity and funding for its members, while remaining adequately capitalized.

Commitment to Affordable Housing and Community Development

  • The Bank commits 10 percent of its income before assessments to support the affordable housing and community development needs of communities served by its members as required by law, which amounted to $72 million for the 2023 statutory AHP assessment available for funding in 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Bank has accrued $22 million to its Affordable Housing Program (AHP) pool of funds that will be available to the Bank’s members and their communities in 2025 for funding of eligible projects.

  • In January 2024, the Bank committed to voluntarily contribute an additional 50 percent of its prior year statutory AHP assessment to affordable housing, authorizing $36 million in voluntary housing contributions consisting of $23 million in voluntary AHP non-statutory contributions and $13 million in voluntary non-AHP contributions. These amounts are anticipated to be expensed during 2024. Together with the $72 million from the 2023 statutory AHP assessment, this will result in a total commitment by the Bank to support affordable housing and community development needs of over $100 million for 2024.

  • Since the inception of its AHP in 1990, the Bank has awarded more than $1.1 billion in AHP funds, assisting more than 174,000 households.
