DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) today reported net income of $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. In comparison, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Bank reported net income of $28.8 million.
The increase in net income from quarter to quarter was attributable primarily to increases in the Bank's net interest income ($5.9 million), aggregate net gains associated with the Bank's derivatives and hedging activities and its trading securities portfolio ($0.9 million) and gains on sales of available-for-sale securities ($0.7 million), offset by increases in non-interest expenses ($0.4 million) and Affordable Housing Program assessments ($0.7 million).
Total assets at March 31, 2017 were $57.5 billion, compared with $58.2 billion at December 31, 2016. The $0.7 billion decrease in total assets for the first quarter was attributable primarily to a decrease in the Bank's advances ($1.4 billion) offset by an increase in its long-term investments ($0.6 billion). Advances totaled $31.1 billion at March 31, 2017, compared with $32.5 billion at December 31, 2016.
The Bank's long-term held-to-maturity securities portfolio, which is comprised substantially of U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), totaled $2.4 billion at March 31, 2017 as compared to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2016. The Bank's long-term available-for-sale securities portfolio, which is comprised substantially of U.S. agency and other highly rated debentures and U.S. agency commercial MBS, totaled $13.9 billion at March 31, 2017 as compared to $13.2 billion at December 31, 2016. The Bank also held a $0.1 billion long-term U.S. Treasury Note in its trading securities portfolio at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
The Bank's short-term liquidity portfolio, which is comprised substantially of overnight federal funds sold (including loans to other Federal Home Loan Banks) and reverse repurchase agreements, totaled $9.7 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $9.6 billion at December 31, 2016.
The Bank's retained earnings increased to $853.0 million at March 31, 2017 from $824.0 million at December 31, 2016. On March 29, 2017, a dividend of $6.1 million was paid to the Bank's shareholders.
Additional selected financial data as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (and, for comparative purposes, as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2016) is set forth below. Further discussion and analysis regarding the Bank's first quarter results will be included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
