MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in "Item 1. Financial Statements."
Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that reflect current beliefs and expectations of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the "Bank") about its future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities. These statements are identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "could," "estimates," "may," "should," "would," "will," "might," "expects," "intends" or their negatives or other similar terms. The Bank cautions that forward-looking statements involve risks or uncertainties that could cause the Bank's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, evolving economic and market conditions, political events, and the impact of competitive business forces. The risks and uncertainties related to evolving economic and market conditions include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the Bank's access to the capital markets, changes in the cost of the Bank's debt, changes in the ratings on the Bank's debt, adverse consequences resulting from a significant regional, national or global economic downturn (including, but not limited to, reduced demand for the Bank's products and services), potential impacts from tariffs imposed or proposed by the United States and/or its trading partners, credit and prepayment risks and changes in the financial health of the Bank's members or non-member borrowers. Among other things, political or other events could possibly lead to changes in the Bank's regulatory environment or its status as a government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE"), or to changes in the regulatory environment for the Bank's members or non-member borrowers. Risks and uncertainties related to competitive business forces include, but are not limited to, the potential loss of a significant amount of member borrowings through acquisitions or other means or changes in the relative competitiveness of the Bank's products and services for member institutions. For a more detailed discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Bank, see "Item 1A - Risk Factors" in the Bank's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 20, 2026 (the "2025 10-K"). The Bank undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason.
Overview
Business
The Bank is one of 11 district Federal Home Loan Banks (each individually a "FHLBank" and collectively the "FHLBanks" and, together with the Federal Home Loan Banks Office of Finance ("Office of Finance"), a joint office of the FHLBanks, the "FHLBank System") that were created by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932. The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the availability of credit for residential mortgages, community lending and targeted community development. As independent, member-owned cooperatives, the FHLBanks seek to maintain a balance between their public purpose and their ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by their members. The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("Finance Agency"), an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government, is responsible for supervising and regulating the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance. The Finance Agency's stated mission is to ensure that the housing GSEs, including the FHLBanks, operate in a safe and sound manner so that they serve as a reliable source of liquidity and funding for housing finance and community investment. Consistent with this mission, the Finance Agency establishes policies and regulations covering the operations of the FHLBanks.
The Bank serves eligible financial institutions in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas (collectively, the Ninth District of the FHLBank System). The Bank's primary business is lending relatively low cost funds (known as advances) to its member institutions, which include commercial banks, savings institutions, insurance companies, credit unions, and Community Development Financial Institutions that are certified under the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 ("CDFIs"). While not members of the Bank, housing associates, including state and local housing authorities, that meet certain statutory criteria may also borrow from the Bank. The Bank also maintains a portfolio of highly rated investments for liquidity purposes and to provide additional earnings. Additionally, the Bank holds interests in a portfolio of mortgage loans that have been acquired through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® ("MPF"®) Program administered by the FHLBank of Chicago, substantially all of which are conventional loans. The Bank also offers an Affordable Housing Program ("AHP"), as required by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended, and a number of voluntary loan and grant programs that are designed to meet specific community investment needs in its district. Shareholders' return on their investment includes the value derived from access to the Bank's products and services and, to a far lesser extent, dividends (which are
typically paid quarterly in the form of capital stock). Historically, the Bank has balanced the financial rewards to shareholders by seeking to pay a dividend that meets or slightly exceeds the return on alternative short-term money market investments available to shareholders, while lending funds at the lowest rates expected to be compatible with that objective and its objective to build retained earnings over time.
The Bank's capital stock is not publicly traded and can be held only by members of the Bank, by non-member institutions that acquire stock by virtue of acquiring member institutions, by a federal or state agency or insurer acting as a receiver of a closed institution, or by former members of the Bank that retain capital stock to support advances or other obligations that remain outstanding or until any applicable stock redemption or withdrawal notice period expires. All members must hold stock in the Bank. The Bank's capital stock has a par value of $100 per share and is purchased, redeemed, repurchased and transferred only at its par value. By regulation, the parties to a transaction involving the Bank's stock can include only the Bank and its member institutions (or non-member institutions or former members, as described above). While a member could transfer stock to another member of the Bank, that transfer could occur only upon approval of the Bank and then only at par value. Members may redeem excess stock, or withdraw from membership and redeem all outstanding capital stock, with five years' written notice to the Bank.
The FHLBanks' debt instruments (known as consolidated obligations) are their primary source of funds and are the joint and several obligations of all 11 FHLBanks. Consolidated obligations are issued through the Office of Finance (acting as agent for the FHLBanks) and generally are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market. The Bank records on its statements of condition only those consolidated obligations for which it receives the proceeds. Although consolidated obligations are not obligations of or guaranteed by the U.S. government, FHLBanks are considered to be GSEs and thus have historically been able to borrow at the more favorable rates generally available to GSEs. Consolidated obligations are currently rated Aa1/P-1 by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and AA+/A-1+ by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P"), each with a stable outlook. Pursuant to criteria used by S&P and Moody's, the FHLBank System's debt rating and the credit ratings of the individual FHLBanks are linked closely to the U.S. sovereign credit rating because of the FHLBanks' GSE status.
These ratings indicate that each of these nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") has concluded that the FHLBanks have a very strong capacity to meet their commitments to pay principal and interest on consolidated obligations. The ratings also reflect the FHLBank System's status as a GSE. Historically, the FHLBanks' GSE status and very high credit ratings on consolidated obligations have provided the FHLBanks with excellent capital markets access. Deposits, other borrowings and the proceeds from capital stock issued to members are also sources of funds for the Bank.
In addition to ratings on the FHLBanks' consolidated obligations, each FHLBank is rated individually by both S&P and Moody's. These individual FHLBank ratings apply to the individual obligations of the respective FHLBanks, such as interest rate derivatives, deposits and letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026, Moody's had assigned a deposit rating of Aa1/P-1 to each of the FHLBanks and S&P had rated each of the FHLBanks AA+/A-1+.
Shareholders, bondholders and prospective shareholders and bondholders should understand that these credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell securities and they may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the NRSRO. The ratings from each of the NRSROs should be evaluated independently.
The Bank conducts its business and fulfills its public purpose primarily by acting as a financial intermediary between its members and the capital markets. The intermediation of the timing, structure and amount of its members' credit needs with the investment requirements of the Bank's creditors is made possible by the extensive use of interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate swaps, swaptions and caps.
The Bank's profitability objective is to generate sufficient earnings to allow the Bank to continue to increase its retained earnings and pay dividends on capital stock at rates that meet the Bank's dividend targets. All other things being equal, the Bank's earnings are typically expected to rise and fall with the general level of market interest rates, particularly short-term money market rates, and the Bank's total capital and asset size. Other factors that could have an effect on the Bank's future earnings include the level, volatility of and relationships between short-term money market rates such as federal funds and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"); the availability and cost of the Bank's short- and long-term debt relative to benchmark rates such as federal funds, SOFR, and long-term fixed mortgage rates; the availability of interest rate exchange agreements at competitive prices; whether the Bank's larger borrowers continue to be members of the Bank and the level at which they maintain their borrowing activity; the extent to which the Bank's members continue to sell mortgage loans to the Bank; and the impact of economic and financial market conditions on both the near-term and longer-term demand for the Bank's credit products.
The Bank's target range for quarterly dividends on Class B-1 Stock is an annualized rate that approximates the average overnight SOFR rate for the immediately preceding quarter plus 0 - 0.5 percent and the target range for quarterly dividends on Class B-2 Stock is an annualized rate that approximates the average overnight SOFR rate for the preceding quarter plus 1.0 - 1.5 percent. While the Bank has had a long-standing practice of paying quarterly dividends, future dividend payments cannot be assured.
The Bank operates in only one reportable segment. All of the Bank's revenues are derived from U.S. operations.
The following table summarizes the Bank's membership, by type of institution, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

For 2026, Community Financial Institutions ("CFIs") are defined to include all institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") with average total assets as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 of less than $1.541 billion. For 2025, CFIs were defined as FDIC-insured institutions with average total assets as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 of less than $1.500 billion.
Financial Market Conditions
According to the advance estimate reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 2.0 percent during the first quarter of 2026, after increasing at an annual rate of 0.5 percent during the fourth quarter of 2025 and increasing at an annual rate of 2.1 percent during the year ended December 31, 2025. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.3 percent at March 31, 2026, compared to 4.4 percent at December 31, 2025. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reported that the unadjusted U.S. consumer price index increased 3.3 percent for the 12 months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an increase of 2.7 percent for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025.
Thus far in 2026, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") has maintained its target for the federal funds rate at a range between 3.50 percent to 3.75 percent. At its April 28/29, 2026 meeting, the FOMC noted that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace, job gains have remained low, on average, and the unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months. Inflation is elevated, in part reflecting the recent increase in global energy prices. The FOMC noted that developments in the Middle East are contributing to a high level of uncertainty about the economic outlook. The FOMC reiterated that it will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks when considering future policy adjustments.

_____________________________
(1)Investments consist of interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading.
(2)The Bank is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all of the FHLBanks. At March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the outstanding consolidated obligations (at par value) of all of the FHLBanks totaled approximately $1.204 trillion, $1.152 trillion, $1.184 trillion, $1.232 trillion and $1.155 trillion, respectively. As of those dates, the Bank's outstanding consolidated obligations (at par value) were $88 billion, $99 billion, $101 billion, $107 billion and $101 billion, respectively.
(3)Mandatorily redeemable capital stock represents capital stock that is classified as a liability under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock are recorded as interest expense and excluded from dividends paid. Dividends paid on mandatorily redeemable capital stock totaled $107 thousand, $13 thousand, $82 thousand, $129 thousand and $3 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
(4)Under U.S. GAAP, changes in the fair value of a derivative in a qualifying fair value hedge along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk (the net amount of which is referred to as fair value hedge ineffectiveness) are recorded in net interest income. Fair value hedge ineffectiveness increased (reduced) net interest income by $(3.4) million, $(4.2) million, $1.5 million, $(5.7) million and $(14.6) million for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Included in the fair value hedge ineffectiveness amounts are price alignment amounts on cleared derivatives totaling $(2.5) million, $(3.2) million, $(4.5) million, $(5.5) million and $(8.9) million for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. For additional discussion, see the section entitled "Results of Operations" beginning on page 45 of this report.
(5)Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
(6)Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(7)Return on average capital stock is derived by dividing net income by average capital stock balances excluding mandatorily redeemable capital stock.
(8)The regulatory capital ratio is computed by dividing regulatory capital (the sum of capital stock - putable, mandatorily redeemable capital stock and retained earnings) by total assets at each quarter-end.
(9)Dividend payout ratio is computed by dividing dividends paid by net income for each quarter.
Financial Condition
The following table provides selected period-end balances as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as well as selected average balances for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. As shown in the table, the Bank's total assets decreased by 10.5 percent between December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, due primarily to decreases in the Bank's advances, short-term liquidity holdings and long-term investments, partially offset by an increase in the Bank's mortgage loans held for portfolio. Total consolidated obligations decreased by $10.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as consolidated obligation discount notes decreased by 12.9 billion and consolidated obligation bonds increased by 2.3 billion. The activity in each of the major balance sheet captions is discussed in the sections following the table.

Advances
The Bank's advances balances (at par value) decreased by $6.5 billion (13 percent) during the first three months of 2026. The decrease in advances during the first three months of 2026 was attributable in large part to reductions in advances to Huntington National Bank, formerly Cadence Bank ($2.2 billion), Charles Schwab Bank, SSB ($1.9 billion) and Fifth Third Bank, formerly Comerica Bank ($1.0 billion). While advances demand is difficult to predict, the Bank currently expects that advances will likely continue to decline during the remainder of 2026.

In addition, Monet Bank (which was previously known as Beal Bank SSB and is an affiliate of Beal Bank USA) and the Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (an affiliate of American General Life Insurance Company) had outstanding advances of $1.0 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2026, representing 2.3 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively, of the Bank's total outstanding advances as of that date.
On February 2, 2026, Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) (domiciled in the Fifth District of the FHLBank System) acquired Comerica, Incorporated (NYSE: CMA), the holding company of Comerica Bank, and dissolved Comerica Bank's Ninth District charter. Fifth Third Bank, National Association, a subsidiary of Fifth Third Bancorp, assumed Comerica Bank's advances and in so doing became a non-member borrower. On March 16, 2026, $1.0 billion of advances matured and were repaid by Fifth Third Bank. The remaining $2.0 billion of Fifth Third Bank's advances mature in March 2027 and March 2028. Advances to non-member borrowers cannot be renewed at maturity. It is possible that the remaining outstanding advances could be prepaid prior to their maturity.
On February 2, 2026, Huntington Bancshares, Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN) (domiciled in the Fifth District of the FHLBank System) acquired Cadence Bank (NYSE: CADE), and dissolved Cadence Bank's Ninth District charter.

The Bank is required by statute and regulation to obtain sufficient collateral from members/borrowers to fully secure all advances and other secured extensions of credit. The Bank's collateral arrangements with its members/borrowers and the types of collateral it accepts to secure advances are described in the 2025 10-K. To ensure the value of collateral pledged to the Bank is sufficient to secure its advances, the Bank applies various haircuts, or discounts, to determine the value of the collateral against which borrowers may borrow. From time to time, the Bank reevaluates the adequacy of its collateral haircuts under a range of stress scenarios to ensure that its collateral haircuts are sufficient to protect the Bank from credit losses on advances.
In addition, as described in the 2025 10-K, the Bank reviews the financial condition of its depository institution borrowers on at least a quarterly basis to identify any borrowers whose financial condition indicates they might pose an increased credit risk and, as needed, takes appropriate action. The Bank has not experienced any credit losses on advances since it was founded in 1932 and, based on its credit extension and collateral policies, management currently does not anticipate any credit losses on advances. Accordingly, the Bank has not provided any allowance for credit losses on advances.
Short-Term Liquidity Holdings
At March 31, 2026, the Bank's short-term liquidity holdings were comprised of $9.0 billion of overnight federal funds sold, $7.8 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements, $3.4 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes, $3.0 billion of overnight interest-bearing deposits and $2.6 billion of U.S. Treasury Bills. At December 31, 2025, the Bank's short-term liquidity holdings were comprised of $16.7 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements (of which $6.4 billion was transacted with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), $7.4 billion of overnight federal funds sold, $3.5 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes and $2.7 billion of overnight interest-bearing deposits. All of the Bank's federal funds sold during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were transacted with domestic bank counterparties, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign holding companies or U.S. branches of foreign financial institutions on an overnight basis. All of the Bank's interest-bearing deposits were transacted on an overnight basis with domestic bank counterparties.
As of March 31, 2026, the Bank's overnight federal funds sold consisted of $4.1 billion transacted with counterparties rated double-A and $4.9 billion transacted with counterparties rated single-A. At that same date, $0.9 of the Bank's interest-bearing deposits were held in a double-A rated bank and $2.1 billion of the Bank's interest-bearing deposits were held in single-A rated banks. The credit ratings presented in the two preceding sentences represent the lowest long-term rating assigned to the counterparty by Moody's or S&P.
The amount and composition of the Bank's short-term liquidity holdings fluctuates in response to several factors, including the anticipated demand for advances, the timing and extent of advance maturities and prepayments, changes in the Bank's deposit
balances, the Bank's pre-funding activities, prevailing conditions (or anticipated changes in conditions) in the short-term debt markets, the level of liquidity needed to satisfy Finance Agency requirements and the Finance Agency's expectations with regard to the Bank's core mission achievement. For a discussion of the Finance Agency's liquidity requirements, see the section below entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources." For a discussion of the Finance Agency's guidance regarding core mission achievement, see Item 1 - Business - Core Mission Achievement in the 2025 10-K. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank's core mission asset ("CMA") ratio was 67.1 percent. In comparison, the Bank's CMA ratio was 70.3 percent for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in the Bank's CMA ratio was due in large part to the decrease in its average advances balance during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, proceeds from maturities, prepayments and paydowns of held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities totaled approximately $63 million and $321 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, proceeds from maturities, prepayments and paydowns of held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities totaled approximately $16 million and $224 million, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, five GSE commercial MBS ("CMBS") with aggregate par values of $120.7 million were prepaid. Yield maintenance fees received in connection with these GSE CMBS prepayments were immaterial. The unamortized purchase premiums or discounts and hedge basis adjustments on the prepaid securities totaled $0.5 million and were recorded as an increase in interest income on available-for-sale securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, four GSE commercial MBS ("CMBS") with aggregate par values of $126.5 million were prepaid. No yield maintenance fees were received in connection with these GSE CMBS prepayments. The unamortized purchase premiums or discounts and hedge basis adjustments on the prepaid securities totaled $2.8 million and were recorded as an increase in interest income on available-for-sale securities.
There were no sales of long-term investments during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
The Bank is precluded by regulation from purchasing additional MBS if such purchase would cause the aggregate amortized historical cost of its MBS holdings to exceed 300 percent of the Bank's total regulatory capital (the sum of its capital stock, mandatorily redeemable capital stock and retained earnings). However, the Bank is not required to sell any mortgage securities that it purchased at a time when it was in compliance with this ratio. For purposes of applying this limit, the Finance Agency defines "amortized historical cost" as the sum of the initial investment, less the amount of cash collected that reduces principal,
less write-downs plus yield accreted to date. This definition excludes hedge basis adjustments which, for investment securities, are included in the U.S. GAAP definition of amortized cost basis. Under this definition, the Bank's MBS holdings totaled $18.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, which represented 302 percent of its total regulatory capital at that date. The Bank did not acquire any MBS during the three months ended March 31, 2026. With capacity to purchase MBS and its CMA ratio above 70 percent, the Bank acquired $968 million (par value) of GSE residential MBS ("RMBS"), all of which were collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") designated as held-to-maturity, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Bank does not intend to purchase additional GSE MBS until such time that: (1) it has capacity to do so and (2) it has achieved, and is reasonably confident (at the time of purchase) that it can maintain, a CMA ratio at or above 70 percent.
In addition to MBS, the Bank is also permitted under applicable policies and regulations to purchase certain other types of highly rated, long-term, non-MBS investments subject to certain limits. These investments include but are not limited to the non-MBS debt obligations of other GSEs. The Bank has not purchased any long-term, non-MBS investments since October 2019 and it does not currently intend to purchase additional long-term, non-MBS investments in the near future.
The Bank evaluates all outstanding available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position and all outstanding held-to-maturity securities as of the end of each calendar quarter to determine whether an allowance is needed to reserve for expected credit losses on the securities. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank determined that an allowance for credit losses was not necessary on any of its held-to-maturity or available-for-sale securities. For a summary of the Bank's evaluation, see "Item 1. Financial Statements" (specifically, Note 9 beginning on page 12 of this report).
As of March 31, 2026, the issuers of the Bank's holdings of GSE debentures and GSE MBS were rated Aa1 by Moody's and AA+ by S&P.
The Bank's GSE RMBS portfolio is comprised of CMOs with variable-rate coupons ($986 million par value at March 31, 2026). These CMOs include caps that would limit increases in the variable-rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise above the caps, exposing the Bank to interest rate risk. In addition, if interest rates rise, prepayments on the mortgage loans underlying the securities would likely decline, thus lengthening the time that the securities would remain outstanding with their coupon rates capped. As of March 31, 2026, one-month SOFR was 3.65 percent and the effective interest rate caps on one-month SOFR (the interest cap rate minus the stated spread on the coupon) embedded in the CMO floaters ranged from 5.69 percent to 8.44 percent. The largest concentration of embedded effective caps ($982 million) was below 6.50 percent. As of March 31, 2026, one-month SOFR rates were 204 basis points below the lowest effective interest rate cap embedded in the CMO floaters.
Mortgage Loans Held For Portfolio
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, mortgage loans held for portfolio (net of allowance for credit losses) were $6.7 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively, representing approximately 6.9 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively, of the Bank's total assets at those dates. Through the MPF program, the Bank currently invests in only conventional residential mortgage loans originated by its participating financial institutions ("PFIs").
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Bank acquired mortgage loans totaling $358 million ($353 million unpaid principal balance) and $229 million ($225 million unpaid principal balance), respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, mortgage loan prepayments totaled $130 million, compared to $61 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Bank manages the liquidity, interest rate and prepayment risk of these loans, while the PFIs or their designees retain the servicing activities. The Bank and the PFIs share in the credit risk of the loans with the Bank assuming a limited first loss obligation defined as the First Loss Account ("FLA"), and the PFIs assuming credit losses in excess of the FLA, up to the amount of the required credit enhancement obligation ("CE Obligation") as specified in the master agreement ("Second Loss Credit Enhancement"). The FLA is a memo account that is used to track the Bank's exposure to losses until the CE Obligation is available to cover losses. The CE Obligation is the amount of credit enhancement needed for a pool of loans delivered under a master commitment to be considered "AMA investment grade," which is defined by the Finance Agency's regulations as sufficient credit enhancement such that the Bank expects to be "paid principal and interest in all material respects, even under reasonably likely adverse changes to expected economic conditions." The Bank assumes all losses in excess of the Second Loss Credit Enhancement.
Under the Finance Agency's Acquired Member Asset regulation (12 C.F.R. part 1268), any portion of the CE Obligation that is a PFI's direct liability must be collateralized by the PFI in the same way that advances are collateralized. Accordingly, the PFI Agreement provides that the PFI's obligations under the PFI Agreement are secured along with other obligations of the PFI under its regular advances agreement with the Bank and, further, that the Bank may request additional collateral to secure the PFI's obligations. PFIs are paid credit enhancement fees ("CE fees") as compensation for retaining a portion of the credit risk on the loans sold to the Bank, as an incentive to minimize credit losses on those loans, and to share in the risk of loss on MPF
loans. CE fees are paid monthly and are determined based on the remaining unpaid principal balance of the MPF loans during the applicable month. CE fees are recorded as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income when paid by the Bank. Mortgage loan interest income was reduced by CE fees totaling $732,000 and $664,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Bank's allowance for loan losses, which factors in the CE obligation, was $8,673,000 and $8,554,000 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
As more fully discussed in the 2025 10-K, the Bank is subject to two annual housing goals relating to its purchases of mortgage loans. First, at least 20 percent of any mortgage loans that are purchased in a calendar year (based on the number of loans acquired) must be comprised of loans to low-income or very low-income families, or to families in low-income areas. Second, at least 50 percent of the Bank's members that are selling mortgage loans to the Bank in a calendar year must be small members. During the first three months of 2026, approximately 24 percent of the mortgage loans purchased by the Bank were comprised of loans that were made to low-income or very low-income families, or to families in low-income areas and approximately 51 percent of members that sold mortgage loans to the Bank were small members.
Consolidated Obligations and Deposits
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank's outstanding consolidated obligation bonds (at par value) increased by $2.3 billion and its outstanding consolidated obligation discount notes (at par value) decreased by $12.9 billion. The following table presents the composition of the Bank's outstanding bonds at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

During the first three months of 2026, the Bank issued $24.6 billion of consolidated obligation bonds and approximately $20.2 billion of consolidated obligation discount notes (excluding those with overnight terms), the proceeds of which were used primarily to replace maturing and called consolidated obligations. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, discount notes comprised approximately 31 percent and 41 percent, respectively, of the Bank's total consolidated obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank's bond issuance (based on trade date and par value) consisted of approximately $10.4 billion of swapped fixed-rate callable bonds (including step-up bonds), $13.8 billion of SOFR-indexed bonds and $0.1 billion of fixed-rate, predominately short-term non-callable bonds (which were not swapped).
The weighted average SOFR-equivalent cost of swapped and variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds issued by the Bank approximated SOFR minus 1 basis point during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to SOFR minus 2 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Demand and term deposits were approximately $2.5 billion and $2.2 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The size of the Bank's deposit base varies as market factors change, including the attractiveness of the Bank's deposit pricing relative to the rates available to members on alternative money market investments, members' investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.
Capital
The Bank's outstanding capital stock (excluding mandatorily redeemable capital stock) was $2.8 billion and $3.3 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Bank's average outstanding capital stock (excluding mandatorily redeemable capital stock) was approximately $3.2 billion and $3.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
Mandatorily redeemable capital stock outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $101.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Although mandatorily redeemable capital stock is excluded from capital (equity) for financial reporting purposes, it is considered capital for regulatory purposes.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank's five largest shareholders collectively held $858.6 million and $898.5 million, respectively, of capital stock, which represented 30.1 percent and 26.9 percent, respectively, of the Bank's total outstanding capital stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock) as of those dates. The following table presents the Bank's five largest shareholders as of March 31, 2026.

Members are required to maintain an investment in Class B Stock equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. The membership investment requirement is currently 0.04 percent of each member's total assets as of the previous calendar year-end, subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $7,000,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the activity-based investment requirement was 4.1 percent of outstanding advances, except as described below, and 0.1 percent of outstanding letters of credit (the "LC Percentage"). The LC Percentage is applied to the issued amount of the letter of credit rather than, if applicable, the amount of the letter of credit that is used from time to time during the term of the letter of credit. Class B-1 Stock is used to meet the membership investment requirement and Class B-2 Stock is used to meet the activity-based investment requirement.
As more fully described in the 2025 10-K (specifically, Note 15 to the audited financial statements on page F-39 of that report), the Bank previously offered two reduced stock advance programs wherein, for each program, the activity-based stock investment requirement was reduced from 4.1 percent to 2.0 percent for certain advances that were funded during specified periods. At March 31, 2026, the remaining balance of advances funded under these programs totaled $1.7 billion.
Quarterly, the Bank typically repurchases a portion of members' excess capital stock. Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member (or former member) in excess of that institution's minimum investment requirement. The portion of members' excess capital stock subject to repurchase is known as surplus stock. For the repurchase that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, surplus stock was defined as the amount of stock held by a shareholder in excess of 110 percent of the shareholder's minimum investment requirement. For that repurchase, which occurred on March 23, 2026, a shareholder's surplus stock was not repurchased if: (1) the amount of that shareholder's surplus stock was $1,000,000 or less or (2) the shareholder was on restricted collateral status (subject to certain exceptions). On March 23, 2026, the Bank repurchased surplus stock totaling $461.2 million, none of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at that date.
On March 23, 2026, the Bank also repurchased all excess stock held by non-member shareholders as of that date. This excess stock, all of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at that date, totaled $47.3 million.
At March 31, 2026, the Bank's excess stock totaled $0.5 billion, which represented 0.55 percent of the Bank's total assets as of that date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank's retained earnings increased by $80 million, from $3.227 billion at December 31, 2025 to $3.307 billion at March 31, 2026. During this same period, the Bank paid dividends on capital stock totaling $41.7 million, which represented a weighted average annualized dividend rate of 4.756 percent. These dividends were paid in the form of capital stock with any fractional shares paid in cash. The Bank's first quarter dividends on Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock were paid at annualized rates of 4.09 percent (a rate equal to average overnight SOFR for the fourth quarter of 2025 plus 0.1 percent) and 5.09 percent (a rate equal to average overnight SOFR for the fourth quarter of 2025 plus 1.1 percent), respectively. The first quarter dividends, which were applied to average Class B-1 Stock and average Class B-2 Stock held during the period from October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, were paid on March 24, 2026.
The Bank is precluded from paying dividends in the form of capital stock if excess stock held by its shareholders is greater than 1 percent of the Bank's total assets or if, after the issuance of such shares, excess stock held by its shareholders would be greater than 1 percent of the Bank's total assets.
While there can be no assurances about future dividends or future dividend rates, the target range for quarterly dividends on Class B-1 Stock is an annualized rate that approximates the average overnight SOFR rate plus 0 - 0.5 percent and the target range for quarterly dividends on Class B-2 Stock is an annualized rate that approximates the average overnight SOFR rate plus 1.0 - 1.5 percent. Dividends are based upon shareholders' average capital stock holdings and the average benchmark index rate for the preceding quarter.
The Bank is required to maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to its risk-based capital requirement, which is the sum of its credit risk capital requirement, its market risk capital requirement, and its operations risk capital requirement, as further described in the 2025 10-K. Permanent capital is defined under the Finance Agency's rules as retained earnings and amounts paid in for Class B stock (which for the Bank includes both Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock), regardless of its classification as equity or liabilities for financial reporting purposes. At March 31, 2026, the Bank's total risk-based capital requirement was $1.237 billion, comprised of credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements of $424 million, $528 million and $285 million, respectively, and its permanent capital was $6.162 billion.
In addition to the risk-based capital requirement, the Bank is subject to three other capital requirements. First, the Bank must, at all times, maintain a minimum total capital-to-assets ratio of 4.0 percent. For this purpose, total capital is defined by Finance Agency rules and regulations as the Bank's permanent capital and the amount of any general allowance for losses (i.e., those reserves that are not held against specific assets). Second, the Bank is required to maintain at all times a minimum leverage capital-to-assets ratio in an amount at least equal to 5.0 percent of its total assets. In applying this requirement to the Bank, leverage capital includes the Bank's permanent capital multiplied by a factor of 1.5 plus the amount of any general allowance for losses. The Bank did not have any general allowance for losses at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Under the regulatory definitions, total capital and permanent capital exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Third, the Bank is required to maintain a capital stock-to-assets ratio of at least 2.0 percent, as measured on a daily average basis at each month end. At all times during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. At March 31, 2026, the Bank's total capital-to-assets and leverage capital-to-assets ratios were 6.35 percent and 9.52 percent, respectively. The Bank's capital stock-to-assets ratio was 2.96 percent for the month ended March 31, 2026. For a summary of the Bank's compliance with the Finance Agency's capital requirements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, see "Item 1. Financial Statements" (specifically, Note 14 on page 22 of this report).
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Bank enters into interest rate swap, swaption and cap agreements (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and/or to adjust the effective maturity, repricing index and/or frequency or option characteristics of financial instruments. This use of derivatives is integral to the Bank's financial management strategy, and the impact of these interest rate exchange agreements permeates the Bank's financial statements. For additional discussion, see "Item 1. Financial Statements" (specifically, Note 13 beginning on page 19 of this report).
The following table provides the notional balances of the Bank's derivative instruments, by balance sheet category and accounting designation, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Certain derivative transactions that the Bank enters into are required to be cleared through a third-party central clearinghouse. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had cleared trades outstanding with notional amounts totaling $54.4 billion. Cleared trades are subject to initial and variation margin requirements established by the clearinghouse and its clearing members. Collateral (or variation margin on daily settled derivative contracts) is typically delivered/paid (or returned/received) daily and, unlike bilateral derivatives, is not subject to any maximum unsecured credit exposure thresholds. The fair values of all interest rate derivatives (including accrued interest receivables and payables) with each clearing member of each clearinghouse are offset for purposes of measuring credit exposure and determining initial and variation margin requirements. With cleared transactions, the Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event that the clearinghouse or the clearing member fails to meet its obligations to the Bank. The Bank has determined that the exercise by a non-defaulting party of the setoff rights incorporated in its cleared derivative transactions should be upheld in the event of a default, including a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the clearinghouse or any of its clearing members or both.
The Bank has also transacted interest rate exchange agreements bilaterally with large financial institutions (with which it has in place master agreements). In doing so, the Bank has generally exchanged a defined market risk for the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations in the future. The Bank manages this credit risk by spreading its transactions among as many highly rated counterparties as is practicable, by entering into master agreements with each of its non-member bilateral counterparties that include maximum unsecured credit exposure thresholds ranging from $50,000 to $500,000, and by
monitoring its exposure to each counterparty on a daily basis. In addition, all of the Bank's master agreements with its bilateral counterparties include netting arrangements whereby the fair values of all interest rate derivatives (including accrued interest receivables and payables) with each counterparty are offset for purposes of measuring credit exposure. As of March 31, 2026, the notional balance of outstanding interest rate exchange agreements transacted with non-member bilateral counterparties totaled $55.5 billion.
Under the Bank's master agreements with its non-member bilateral counterparties, the unsecured credit exposure thresholds must be met before collateral is required to be delivered by one party to the other party. Once the counterparties agree to the valuations of the interest rate exchange agreements, and if it is determined that the unsecured credit exposure exceeds the threshold, then, upon a request made by the unsecured counterparty, the party that has the unsecured obligation to the counterparty bearing the risk of the unsecured credit exposure generally must deliver sufficient collateral (or return a sufficient amount of previously remitted collateral) to reduce the unsecured credit exposure to zero (or, in the case of pledged securities, to an amount equal to the discount applied to the securities under the terms of the master agreement). Collateral is delivered (or returned) daily when these thresholds are met. The master agreements with the Bank's non-member bilateral counterparties require the delivery of collateral consisting of cash or very liquid, highly rated securities (generally consisting of U.S. government-guaranteed or agency debt securities) if credit risk exposures rise above the thresholds.
While the Bank is able in certain instances to continue to enter into uncleared trades on a bilateral basis, transactions entered into on and after September 1, 2022 are subject to two-way initial margin requirements if certain thresholds are met. The Bank is required to post initial margin when its unmargined exposure (excluding legacy derivatives) exceeds $50 million on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis.
As of March 31, 2026, cash collateral totaling $257 million had been delivered by the Bank to its non-member bilateral derivative counterparties under the terms of the collateral exchange agreements. At that date, the Bank had pledged securities with a carrying value (and fair value) of $141 million to four bilateral derivative counterparties to meet its initial margin requirements. Further, as of March 31, 2026, the Bank had pledged $207 million (carrying value and fair value) of securities to satisfy initial margin requirements associated with its cleared derivatives. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, the Bank had received $244 million in cash variation margin to settle its cleared derivatives with its clearinghouse counterparties.
The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements does not reflect the Bank's credit risk exposure, which is much less than the notional amount. The Bank's net credit risk exposure is based on the current estimated cost, on a present value basis, of replacing at current market rates all interest rate exchange agreements with individual counterparties, if those counterparties were to default, after taking into account the value of any cash and/or securities collateral held or remitted by the Bank. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net gain position, the Bank has credit exposure when the collateral it is holding (if any) has a value less than the amount of the gain. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net loss position, the Bank has credit exposure when it has delivered collateral with a value greater than the amount of the loss position.
The following table provides information regarding the Bank's derivative counterparty credit exposure as of March 31, 2026.

(5)Interest rate exchange agreements with members and the collateral provisions associated therewith are discussed in the paragraph below.
Previously, the Bank offered interest rate exchange agreements to its members to assist them in meeting their risk management objectives. In derivative transactions with its members, the Bank acts as an intermediary by entering into an interest rate exchange agreement with the member and then entering into an offsetting interest rate exchange agreement with one of the Bank's non-member derivative counterparties discussed above. For the two remaining interest rate exchange agreements with one of its members, the Bank requires the member to post eligible collateral in an amount equal to the sum of the net market value of the member's derivative transactions with the Bank (if the value is positive to the Bank) plus a percentage of the notional amount of the interest rate swaps, with market values determined on at least a monthly basis. Eligible collateral for these derivative transactions consists of collateral that is eligible to secure advances and other obligations under the member's Advances and Security Agreement with the Bank.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $121.9 million and $150.6 million, respectively. The Bank's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 represented an annualized return on average capital stock ("ROCS") of 15.53 percent. In comparison, the Bank's ROCS was 15.62 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2025. To derive the Bank's ROCS, net income is divided by average capital stock outstanding excluding stock that is classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock. The following table presents the components of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The factors contributing to the changes in the Bank's net income are discussed in the sections following the table.

Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank's net interest income after provision for credit losses was $171.1 million compared to $187.7 million for the comparable period in 2025. The $16.6 million decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, was due largely to the decrease in the average balances of the Bank's interest-earning assets from $113.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $104.7 billion during the comparable period in 2026, lower average capital balances and lower rates of return on the Bank's invested capital, partially offset by an $11.2 million decrease in fair value hedge ineffectiveness losses and net price alignment expense.
The Bank's net interest margin was 65 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 67 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest margin, or net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, is a function of net interest spread and the rates of return on assets funded by the investment of the Bank's capital. Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's net interest spread was 40 basis points and 38 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Bank's net interest margin and net interest spread are impacted positively or negatively, as the case may be, by the amount of fair value hedge ineffectiveness recorded in net interest income (including the price alignment amounts on cleared derivatives). In addition, the Bank's net interest margin and net interest spread are impacted positively by the amount of net prepayment fees on advances and net gains recorded on GSE CMBS prepayments which, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, totaled $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
U.S. GAAP requires that, for fair value hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk be presented in the same income statement line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. The following table presents the fair value hedge ineffectiveness and price alignment amounts that are recorded in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

_____________________________
(1)Percentages are annualized figures. Amounts used to calculate average rates are based on whole dollars. Accordingly, recalculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.
(2)The Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments transacted under a master netting agreement or other similar arrangement. The average balances of interest-bearing deposit assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in the table above include $282 million and $483 million, respectively, which are classified as derivative assets/liabilities on the statements of condition. In addition, the average balances of interest-bearing deposit liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in the table above include $58 million and $178 million, respectively, which are classified as derivative assets/liabilities on the statements of condition.
(3)Average balances for available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are calculated based upon amortized cost.
(4)Interest income and average rates include net prepayment fees on advances.
(5)The average balances for mortgage loans held for portfolio in the table above include $47 million and $40 million of non-accruing loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Changes in both volume (i.e., average balances) and interest rates influence changes in net interest income and net interest margin. The following table summarizes changes in interest income and interest expense between the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Changes in interest income and interest expense that cannot be attributed to either volume or rate have been allocated to the volume and rate categories based upon the proportion of the absolute value of the volume and rate changes.

Net Interest Settlements
Net interest income (expense) associated with economic hedge derivatives including, but not limited to, those associated with non-qualifying fair value hedging relationships is recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. Net interest income (expense) associated with derivatives in qualifying fair value hedging relationships is recorded in net interest income in the same income statement line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item.
Fair Value Hedge Ineffectiveness
The Bank uses interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of some of its advances and consolidated obligation bonds and substantially all of its available-for-sale securities. These hedging relationships are designated as fair value hedges. To the extent these relationships qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair values of both the derivative (the interest rate swap) and the hedged item (limited to changes attributable to the hedged risk) are recorded in net interest income in the same income statement line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. To the extent that the Bank's fair value hedging relationships do not qualify for hedge accounting, or cease to qualify because they are determined to be ineffective, only the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities (in this case, there is no offsetting change in fair value of the hedged item). The net gains (losses) on derivatives associated with specific advances, available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligation bonds that did not qualify for hedge accounting, or ceased to qualify because they were determined to be ineffective, totaled $(0.7) million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Economic Hedge Derivatives
Notwithstanding the transitory nature of ineffectiveness-related gains and losses associated with the Bank's available-for-sale securities portfolio, the Bank has entered into several derivative transactions in an effort to mitigate a portion of the periodic earnings variability that can result from those fair value hedging relationships. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the notional balances of these derivatives totaled $200 million and $400 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the gains associated with these stand-alone economic hedge derivatives were $0.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
The Bank has invested in residential mortgage loans. A portion of the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio is managed through the use of interest rate swaps and swaptions. The losses on these interest rate swaps and swaptions were $1.2 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, in some but not all cases, the Bank enters into delivery commitments associated with the purchase of the mortgage loans. The fair value changes associated with mortgage delivery commitments (representing net unrealized gains/losses from the commitment date to the settlement date) were $(0.7) million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Bank has invested in GSE CMBS. To hedge a portion of the prepayment risk that exists during the open period (i.e., the period during which the securities can be prepaid without a yield maintenance fee), the Bank has entered into swaptions with a notional balance of $1.15 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the gains associated with these stand-alone economic hedge derivatives were $0.03 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
From time to time, the Bank hedges the risk of changes in the fair value of some of its longer-term consolidated obligation discount notes using fixed-for-floating swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the losses associated with these stand-alone economic hedge derivatives were $6.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
As discussed previously in the section entitled "Financial Condition - Derivatives and Hedging Activities," the Bank previously offered interest rate exchange agreements to its members to assist them in meeting their risk management objectives. In derivative transactions with its members, the Bank acts as an intermediary by entering into an interest rate exchange agreement with the member and then entering into an offsetting interest rate exchange agreement with one of the Bank's non-member derivative counterparties. The net change in the fair values of derivatives transacted with members and the offsetting derivatives was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Price Alignment Amount
Pursuant to their rulebooks, the Bank's two clearinghouse counterparties legally characterize variation margin payments on cleared derivatives as settlements on the contracts. The Bank receives or pays a price alignment amount on the cumulative variation margin payments associated with these contracts. The price alignment amount approximates the amount of interest the Bank would receive or pay if the variation margin payments were characterized as collateral pledged to secure outstanding credit exposure on the derivative contracts. The price alignment amount associated with derivatives in qualifying fair value hedging relationships is recorded in net interest income in the same income statement line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. The price alignment amount associated with economic hedge derivatives including, but not limited to, those associated with non-qualifying fair value hedging relationships, is recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.
Other
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Bank held U.S. Treasury Notes and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank also held U.S Treasury Bills. All of these securities were classified as trading securities. Due to fluctuations in interest rates, the aggregate gains (losses) on these investments were $(9.7) million and $12.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Bank occasionally hedges the risk of changes in the fair value of some of the U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S Treasury Bills held in its short-term liquidity portfolio. The gains (losses) associated with these stand-alone derivatives were $6.3 million and $(5.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Bank has a small balance of marketable equity securities consisting solely of mutual fund investments associated with its non-qualified deferred compensation plans. These securities are carried at fair value and included in other assets on the statements of condition. The fair value losses on these securities totaled $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The losses on the securities are offset by a corresponding decrease in amounts owed to participants in the deferred compensation plans, the credit for which is recorded in compensation and benefits expense (in the case of employees) or other operating expenses (in the case of directors).
Letter of credit fees totaled $5.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. At March 31, 2026 and 2025, outstanding letters of credit totaled $30.9 billion and $31.7 billion, respectively.
Standby bond purchase agreement fees totaled $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and 2025, outstanding standby bond purchase agreements totaled $930 million and $742 million, respectively.
Other Expense
Total other expense includes the Bank's compensation and benefits; other operating expenses; voluntary grants, subsidies, donations and AHP contributions; derivative clearing fees and its proportionate share of the costs of operating the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, these expenses totaled $37.3 million, compared to $35.0 million for the corresponding period in 2025.
Compensation and benefits were $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.2 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The increase in compensation and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, totaled $0.9 million and was due in large part to cost-of-living and merit increases and higher medical insurance costs. The Bank's average headcount was 226 and 224 employees for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the Bank employed 224 people, a decrease of 3 employees from December 31, 2025.
Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $12.8 million, compared to $11.8 million for the corresponding period in 2025, representing an increase of $1.0 million. The increase in other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, was due in large part to increases in software and mortgage program expenses.
The Bank, together with the other FHLBanks, is assessed for the costs of operating the Office of Finance and a portion of the costs of operating the Finance Agency. The Bank's allocated share of these expenses totaled approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $4.6 million for the corresponding period in 2025.
Voluntary grants, subsidies, donations and AHP contributions totaled $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The amounts funded under the Bank's voluntary community investment programs during the three months ended March 31, 2026 are presented in the section below entitled "Voluntary Community Investment Programs."
Derivative clearing fees were $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The decline in derivative clearing fees was due largely to a decline in the volume of cleared derivatives that were transacted during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
AHP Assessments
While the Bank is exempt from all federal, state and local income taxes, it is obligated to set aside amounts for its AHP.
As required by statute, each year the Bank contributes 10 percent of its earnings (as adjusted for interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock) to its AHP. The AHP provides grants that members can use to support affordable housing projects in their communities. Generally, the Bank's AHP assessment is derived by adding interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock to income before assessments; the result of this calculation is then multiplied by 10 percent. The Bank's AHP assessments totaled $13.7 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Voluntary Community Investment Programs
The Bank offers a number of voluntary loan and grant programs that are designed to meet specific community investment needs in its district, all but one of which are discussed in the 2025 10-K.
On April 28, 2026, the Bank announced the 2026 Support for Housing Affordability Resource Enhancement ("SHARE 2026") advance program, which supports (1) new construction, renovation or the financing of single-family or multifamily affordable housing for households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income where the property is located and (2) the purchase of low-income housing tax credits that support the development or preservation of affordable housing. Under SHARE 2026, the Bank has made available $250 million in advances at rates that are either 100 or 200 basis points below standard advance rates, depending upon the term of the advance.
The Bank has, in the absence of changes to its statutory AHP obligation and/or the imposition of any new statutory or regulatory assessments, committed to annually make available for its voluntary loan and grant programs an amount that equals or exceeds five percent of its prior year income before assessments as adjusted for interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock and the income statement effects of voluntary programs and AHP make-whole contributions ("Adjusted Income Before Assessments"). The income statement effects of voluntary programs are comprised of grants, subsidies, donations, and interest income and the provision (reversal) for credit losses on the Bank's voluntary program loans. Make-whole contributions to the Bank's AHP are disclosed in Note 11 to the Bank's financial statements and are more fully discussed in the paragraph immediately following the table below. By adjusting for these items, the amount to be made available for the Bank's voluntary loan and grant programs in the following year is not negatively impacted by interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock, the income statement effects of voluntary programs or AHP make-whole contributions that are recorded in the Bank's current year earnings. Annually, the Bank also makes available for its voluntary loan and grant programs any receipts of principal and interest on voluntary program loans from the prior year. If, after using its best efforts to award or loan the funds that have been made available, there are unused funds at the end of a calendar year, such funds are carried forward to the succeeding year to support the programs(s) for which the funds were initially designated or, alternatively, reallocated to other voluntary programs.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Bank's Adjusted Income Before Assessments was $691,251,000, which resulted in a target minimum allocation of $34,563,000 to its voluntary loan and grant programs for 2026. The following table sets forth a summary of the amounts that the Bank has made available for its voluntary loan and grant programs in 2026 and the loans that were funded and the grants/subsidies that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Overall, the income statement effects of the voluntary programs discussed above reduce the Bank's reported income before assessments which, in turn, reduces the Bank's statutory AHP assessment. To fully restore the Bank's total AHP contribution to the dollar amount it would be in the absence of these effects, the Bank contributes a make-whole amount to its AHP. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the AHP make-whole amount was $338,000. This amount, which is recorded in "Voluntary grants, subsidies, donations and Affordable Housing Program contributions" in the Bank's Statement of Income, was derived by aggregating the income statement effects of the voluntary programs which, in total, reduced the Bank's reported income before assessments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 by $3,049,000, and then multiplying the total by the percentage needed to fully restore the Bank's AHP contribution.
Critical Accounting Estimates
A discussion of the Bank's critical accounting estimates is provided in the 2025 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no substantive changes to the methods used by the Bank to calculate its critical accounting estimates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In order to meet members' credit needs and the Bank's financial obligations, the Bank maintains a portfolio of money market instruments typically consisting of overnight federal funds, overnight reverse repurchase agreements, overnight interest-bearing deposits, U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Treasury Notes. Beyond those amounts that are required to meet members' credit needs and its own obligations, the Bank typically holds additional balances of short-term investments that fluctuate as the Bank invests the proceeds of debt issued to replace maturing and called liabilities, as the balance of deposits changes, and as the level of liquidity needed to satisfy Finance Agency requirements changes. At March 31, 2026, the Bank's short-term liquidity holdings were comprised of $7.8 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements, $9.0 billion of overnight federal funds sold, $3.0 billion of overnight interest-bearing deposits, $3.4 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes and $2.6 billion of U.S. Treasury Bills.
The Bank's primary source of funds is the proceeds it receives from the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes in the capital markets. Historically, the FHLBanks have issued debt throughout the business day in the form of discount notes and bonds with a wide variety of maturities and structures. Generally, the Bank has access to the capital markets as needed during the business day to acquire funds to meet its needs.
In addition to the liquidity provided from the proceeds of the issuance of consolidated obligations, the Bank also maintains access to wholesale funding sources such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (e.g., borrowings secured by its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, MBS and/or agency debentures). Furthermore, the Bank has access to borrowings (typically short-term) from the other FHLBanks.
The 11 FHLBanks and the Office of Finance are parties to the Federal Home Loan Banks P&I Funding and Contingency Plan Agreement, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2017 (the "Contingency Agreement"). The Contingency Agreement and related procedures are designed to facilitate the timely funding of principal and interest payments on FHLBank System consolidated obligations in the event that a FHLBank is not able to meet its funding obligations in a timely manner. The Contingency Agreement and related procedures provide for the issuance of overnight consolidated obligations ("Plan COs") directly to one or more FHLBanks that provide funds to avoid a shortfall in the timely payment of principal and interest on any consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The direct placement by a FHLBank of consolidated obligations with another FHLBank is permitted only in those instances when direct placement of consolidated obligations is necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to timely pay all principal and interest on FHLBank System consolidated obligations due on a particular day. Through the date of this report, no Plan COs have ever been issued pursuant to the terms of the Contingency Agreement.
On occasion, and as an alternative to issuing new debt, the Bank may assume the outstanding consolidated obligations for which other FHLBanks are the original primary obligors. This occurs in cases where the original primary obligor may have participated in a large consolidated obligation issue to an extent that exceeded its immediate funding needs in order to facilitate better market execution for the issue. The original primary obligor might then warehouse the funds until they were needed, or make the funds available to other FHLBanks. Transfers may also occur when the original primary obligor's funding needs change, and that FHLBank offers to transfer debt that is no longer needed to other FHLBanks. Transferred debt may be in the form of discount notes or bonds. The Bank participates in such transfers of funding from other FHLBanks when the transfer represents favorable pricing relative to a new issue of consolidated obligations with similar features. The Bank did not assume any consolidated obligations from other FHLBanks during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
The Finance Agency's expectations with respect to the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to enable the FHLBanks to provide advances and fund letters of credit during a sustained capital markets disruption are set forth in an Advisory Bulletin and accompanying supervisory letter. More specifically, the Advisory Bulletin (hereinafter referred to as the "Liquidity AB") sets forth the Finance Agency's expectations with respect to base case liquidity and funding gaps, among other things. The Liquidity AB sets forth ranges for the prescribed base case liquidity and funding gap measures and the supervisory letter identified the initial thresholds within those ranges that the Finance Agency believed were appropriate in light of then existing market conditions. The Liquidity AB does not preclude a FHLBank from temporarily reducing its liquidity position, in a safe and sound manner, below the prescribed levels, as necessary to provide unanticipated advances to members or to fund draws on standby letters of credit.
With respect to base case liquidity, the Bank is required to maintain a positive cash balance during a prescribed period of time ranging from 10 to 30 calendar days assuming no access to the market for consolidated obligations or other unsecured funding
sources and the renewal of all advances that are scheduled to mature during the measurement period. The supervisory letter and subsequent guidance set forth the cash flow assumptions to be used by the FHLBanks which include, among other things, a reserve for potential draws on standby letters of credit and the inclusion of uncommitted/unencumbered U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining maturity no greater than 10 years which are classified as trading or available-for-sale securities as a cash inflow three business days after measurement.
Funding gaps measure the difference between a FHLBank's assets and liabilities that are scheduled to mature during a specified period, expressed as a percentage of the FHLBank's total assets. Depending on conditions in the financial markets, the Finance Agency believes (as stated in the Liquidity AB) that the FHLBanks should operate so as not to exceed a funding gap ratio between negative 10 percent and negative 20 percent for a three-month time horizon and between negative 25 percent and negative 35 percent for a one-year time horizon. These limits are designed to reduce the liquidity risks associated with a mismatch in a FHLBank's asset and liability maturities, including an undue reliance on short-term debt funding, which may increase a FHLBank's debt rollover risk. For purposes of calculating the funding gap ratios, the FHLBanks may include estimates of expected cash inflows, including anticipated prepayments, for mortgage loans and MBS. In addition, uncommitted/unencumbered U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining maturity no greater than 10 years which are classified as trading securities are treated as maturing assets in the three-month time horizon regardless of maturity.
The Finance Agency considers a FHLBank to have adequate reserves of liquid assets if the FHLBank maintains 20 calendar days of positive daily cash balances. Further, the Finance Agency considers a FHLBank to have adequate liquidity to address funding gap risks if the FHLBank's funding gap ratios for the three-month and one-year time horizons do not exceed negative 15 percent and negative 30 percent, respectively. The Bank was in compliance with these liquidity requirements at all times during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The Bank's access to the capital markets has never been interrupted to an extent that the Bank's ability to meet its obligations was compromised and the Bank does not currently believe that its ability to issue consolidated obligations will be impeded to that extent in the future. If, however, the Bank were unable to issue consolidated obligations for an extended period of time, the Bank would eventually exhaust the availability of purchased federal funds (including borrowings from other FHLBanks) and repurchase agreements as sources of funds. It is also possible that an event (such as a natural disaster or a pandemic) that might impede the Bank's ability to raise funds by issuing consolidated obligations would also limit the Bank's ability to access the markets for federal funds purchased and/or repurchase agreements.
Under those circumstances, to the extent that the balance of principal and interest that came due on the Bank's debt obligations and the funds needed to pay its operating expenses exceeded the cash inflows from its interest-earning assets and proceeds from maturing assets, and if access to the market for consolidated obligations was not again available, the Bank would seek to access funding under the Contingency Agreement to repay any principal and interest due on its consolidated obligations. However, if the Bank were unable to raise funds by issuing consolidated obligations, it is likely that the other FHLBanks would have similar difficulties issuing debt. If funds were not available under the Contingency Agreement, the Bank's ability to conduct its operations would be compromised even earlier than if this funding source was available.
