DALLAS, TEXAS, April 26, 2018 - The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) today reported net income of $41.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. In comparison, for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Bank reported net income of $31.4 million and $35.1 million, respectively.

The $10.3 million increase in net income from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the first quarter of 2018 was attributable to increases in the Bank's net interest income ($7.4 million) and non-interest income ($1.7 million) and a decrease in its non-interest expenses ($2.4 million), offset by an increase in its AHP assessment ($1.2 million).

The $6.6 million increase in net income for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the first quarter of 2017, was attributable to an increase in the Bank's net interest income ($15.3 million), offset by a decrease in its non-interest income ($6.3 million) and increases in its non-interest expenses ($1.7 million) and its AHP assessment ($0.7 million).

Total assets at March 31, 2018 were $65.1 billion, compared with $68.5 billion at December 31, 2017. The $3.4 billion decrease in total assets for the first quarter was attributable primarily to a $2.9 billion decrease in the Bank's short-term liquidity portfolio and a $1.2 billion decrease in the Bank's advances, partially offset by a $0.6 billion increase in the Bank's long-term investments.

Advances totaled $35.3 billion at March 31, 2018, compared with $36.5 billion at December 31, 2017. The Bank's mortgage loans held for portfolio totaled $1.0 billion at March 31, 2018, as compared to $0.9 billion at December 31, 2017.

The Bank's long-term held-to-maturity securities portfolio, which is comprised substantially of U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), totaled approximately $1.9 billion at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Bank's long-term available-for-sale securities portfolio, which is comprised substantially of U.S. agency debentures and U.S. agency commercial MBS, totaled $15.0 billion at March 31, 2018 as compared to $14.4 billion at December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank also held a $0.1 billion long-term U.S. Treasury Note classified as trading.

The Bank's retained earnings increased to $972 million at March 31, 2018 from $942 million at December 31, 2017. On March 28, 2018, a dividend of $11.1 million was paid to the Bank's shareholders.
