Notes to Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions except per share amounts)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The information about the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (Bank) included in these unaudited financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of the Bank, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The results of operations in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018 (2018~~2019 (2019 Form 10‑K).

There have been no changes to the basis of presentation of the Bank’s financial instruments meeting netting requirements or of the Bank’s investments in variable interest entities disclosed in ~~the~~ “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” ~~section~~in the Bank’s 2019 Form 10-K.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Beginning January 1, 2020, the Bank adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments that requires a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new guidance also requires credit losses relating to these financial instruments as well as available-for-sale (AFS) securities to be recorded through the allowance for credit losses. Key changes as compared to prior accounting guidance are detailed below. Consistent with the modified retrospective method of adoption, the prior period has not been revised to conform to the new basis of accounting. For information on the prior accounting treatment and for descriptions of the Bank’s ~~2018~~significant accounting policies, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s 2019 Form 10-K. Other changes to these policies as of March 31, 2020, are discussed in Note 2 – Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income, expenses, gains, and losses during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates ~~include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advances and mortgage loan portfolios;~~ include:

accounting for derivatives;

estimating fair values of investments classified as trading and ~~available-for-sale,~~AFS, derivatives and associated hedged items carried at fair value in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and associated hedging activities, and financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value ~~option,~~option; and ~~accounting for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) for investment securities; and~~

estimating the prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and mortgage loans for the accounting of amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and credit losses previously recorded prior to the adoption of new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on MBS and mortgage loans.

Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

~~Derivatives~~Interest-bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and ~~Hedging Activities.~~Federal Funds Sold. ~~All derivatives~~The Bank invests in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and Federal funds sold. These investments provide short-term liquidity and are ~~recognized~~carried at cost.

These investments are ~~reported as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities, net of cash collateral, and accrued interest received from or pledged to clearing agents or counterparties.~~

~~Beginning January 1, 2019, the Bank prospectively adopted new hedge accounting guidance, which, among other things, affected the presentation of gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities~~evaluated quarterly for ~~qualifying hedges. Upon adoption, changes in the fair value of~~expected credit losses. If applicable, an allowance for credit loss is recorded with a ~~derivative that is designated as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability (hedged item) that are attributable~~corresponding adjustment to the hedged risk (including changes that reflect losses or gains on firm commitments), are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Net gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities for qualifying hedges recorded in net interest income include unrealized and realized gains and losses, which include net interest settlements. For available-for-sale (AFS)provision for/(reversal of) credit losses. The Bank treats securities that have been hedged and qualify as a fair value hedge, the Bank records the portion of the change in the fair value of the investment related to the risk being hedged in interest income together with the related change in the fair value of the derivative, and records the remainder of the change in the fair value of the investment in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) as “Net unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS securities.”

Prior to January 1, 2019, for fair value hedges, any hedge ineffectiveness (which represented the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differed from the change in the fair value of the hedged item) was recorded in other income as “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.” For AFS securities that were hedged and qualified as a fair value hedge, the Bank recorded the portion of the change in the fair value of the investment related to the risk being hedged in other income as “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives and hedging

~~activities” together~~purchased under agreements to resell as collateralized financing arrangements because they effectively represent short-term loans to counterparties that are considered by the Bank to be of investment quality, which are classified as assets in the Statements of Condition. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are held in safekeeping in the name of the Bank by third-party custodians approved by the Bank. In accordance with the ~~related change~~terms of these loans, if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral, the counterparty must place an equivalent amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash. Consequently, a credit loss would be recognized if there is a collateral shortfall which the Bank does not believe the counterparty will replenish in accordance with its contractual terms. The credit loss would be limited to the difference between the fair value of the ~~derivative,~~collateral and ~~recorded~~ the ~~remainder~~investment’s cost. The Bank invests in Federal funds sold with counterparties that are considered by the Bank to be of investment quality.

See Note 3 – Investments for details on the ~~change~~allowance methodologies relating to interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and Federal funds sold.

Investment Securities. On a quarterly basis, the Bank evaluates its individual AFS investment securities in an unrealized loss position for impairment. A security is considered impaired when its fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. With respect to any debt security, a credit loss is defined as the ~~fair~~amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the present value of the ~~investment~~cash flows expected to be collected. If a credit loss exists but the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), an allowance for credit losses is recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for/(reversal of) credit losses. The allowance is limited by the amount of the unrealized loss. Accrued interest receivable is recorded separately on the Statements of Condition. The allowance for credit losses excludes uncollectible accrued interest receivable, which is measured separately.

If management intends to sell an impaired security classified as AFS, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before expected recovery of its amortized cost basis, any allowance for credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the security’s fair value at the reporting date with any incremental impairment reported in ~~AOCI~~earnings as ~~“Net~~net unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS securities.”

~~Descriptions~~ If management does not intend to sell an impaired security classified as AFS and it is not more likely than not that management will be required to sell the debt security, then the credit portion of the difference is recognized as an allowance for credit losses and any remaining difference between the security’s fair value and amortized cost is recorded to net unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS securities within other comprehensive income/(loss).

Prior to January 1, 2020, credit losses were recorded as a direct write-down of the AFS security carrying value. For improvements in cash flows of AFS securities, interest income follows the recognition pattern pursuant to the impairment guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2020, and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when received. AFS securities with a credit loss recognized pursuant to the impairment guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2020, continue to follow the prior accounting until maturity or disposition. For improvements in impaired AFS securities with an allowance for credit losses recognized after the adoption of the new guidance, the allowance for credit losses associated with recoveries may be derecognized up to its full amount. Effective January 1, 2020, the net non-credit-related other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) gain/(loss) on AFS securities was reclassified to net unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS securities within other comprehensive income/(loss).

Held-to-maturity (HTM) securities are carried at cost, adjusted for periodic principal repayments, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, and previous credit loss recognized in net income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) recorded prior to January 1, 2020. On a quarterly basis, the Bank evaluates its HTM investment securities for expected credit losses on a pool basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary because the securities do not possess similar risk characteristics. If necessary, an allowance for credit losses is recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for/(reversal of) credit losses. Prior to January 1, 2020, credit losses were recorded as a direct write-down of the HTM security carrying value. Accrued interest

receivable is recorded separately on the Statements of Condition. The allowance for credit losses excludes uncollectible accrued interest receivable, which is measured separately.

For improvements in HTM securities impaired prior to January 1, 2020, interest income continues to follow the recognition pattern pursuant to the impairment guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2020, and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when received. For improvements in impaired HTM securities with an allowance for credit losses recognized after the adoption of the new guidance, the allowance for credit losses associated with recoveries may be derecognized up to its full amount.

See Note 3 – Investments for details on the allowance methodologies relating to AFS and HTM securities.

Advances. The Bank reports advances (loans to members, former members or their successors or housing associates) either at amortized cost or at fair value when the fair value option is elected. Advances carried at amortized cost are reported net of premiums, discounts (including discounts related to the Affordable Housing Program), and hedging adjustments. Accrued interest receivable is recorded separately on the Statements of Condition. The advances carried at amortized cost are evaluated quarterly for expected credit losses. If deemed necessary, an allowance for credit losses is recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for/(reversal of) credit losses. See Note 4 – Advances for details on the allowance methodologies relating to advances.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. The Bank classifies mortgage loans as held for investment and, accordingly, reports them at their principal amount outstanding net of unamortized premiums, unamortized credit enhancement fees paid as a lump sum at the time loans are purchased, discounts, and unrealized gains and losses from loans initially classified as mortgage loan commitments. The Bank performs a quarterly assessment of its mortgage loans held for portfolio to estimate expected credit losses. An allowance for credit losses is recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for/(reversal of) credit losses.

The Bank measures expected credit losses on mortgage loans on a collective basis, pooling loans with similar risk characteristics. If a mortgage loan no longer shares risk characteristics with other loans, it is removed from the pool and evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis.

When developing the allowance for credit losses, the Bank measures the estimated loss over the remaining life of a mortgage loan, which also considers how the Bank’s ~~significant~~credit enhancements mitigate credit losses. The Bank includes estimates of expected recoveries within the allowance for credit losses. If a loan is purchased at a discount, the discount does not offset the allowance for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable is recorded separately on the Statements of Condition. The allowance excludes uncollectible accrued interest receivable, as the Bank writes off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income if a mortgage loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

The Bank does not purchase mortgage loans with credit deterioration present at the time of purchase. See Note 5 – Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio for details on the allowance methodologies relating to mortgage loans. For more information related to the Bank’s accounting policies ~~are included in~~for the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K. ~~Other changes~~(“Mortgage Partnership Finance,” “MPF,” and “MPF Xtra” are registered trademarks of the FHLBank of Chicago.)

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. The Bank evaluates its off-balance sheet credit exposures on a quarterly basis for expected credit losses. If deemed necessary, an allowance for expected credit losses on these off-balance sheet exposures is recorded in other liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to ~~these policies as~~the provision for/(reversal of) credit losses. See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies for details on the allowance methodologies relating to off-balance sheet credit exposure.

Note 2 — Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance

The following table provides a summary of recently issued accounting standards ~~which~~that may have an effect on the financial statements.



Accounting Standards Update (ASU)	Description	Effective Date	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04)	This guidance provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include: • contract modifications, • hedging relationships, and • sale or transfer of debt securities classified as HTM.	This guidance is effective immediately for the Bank, and the Bank may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022.	The Bank is in the process of evaluating the guidance. Its effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows has not yet been determined.
Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15)	This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license).	This guidance ~~becomes~~became effective for the Bank for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. ~~Early adoption is permitted.~~	The ~~Bank does not intend to adopt this~~ guidance ~~early.~~was adopted as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance isdid not ~~expected to~~ have any effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash ~~flows, or financial statement disclosures.~~flows.
Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (ASU 2018-14)	This guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans to improve disclosure effectiveness.	This guidance becomes effective for the Bank for the annual period ended December 31, 2020, and the annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted.	The Bank does not intend to adopt this guidance early. The adoption of this guidance may affect the Bank’s disclosures but will not have any effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13)	This guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements to improve disclosure effectiveness.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU)	Description	Effective Date	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended (ASU 2016-13)	The guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment model and requires entities to measure expected credit losses based on consideration of a broad range of relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The guidance also requires, among other things, credit losses relating to AFS securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses and expands disclosure requirements.	This guidance isbecame effective for the Bank for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. ~~Early adoption is permitted.~~	~~The Bank does not intend to adopt the~~This guidance ~~early. Based on the Bank’s preliminary assessments,~~was adopted using a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, this guidance ~~is expected to have~~had no effect on advances or U.S. obligations and ~~GSE investments and~~Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) investments. The adoption of this guidance had an immaterial effect on the remaining investment portfolio given the specific terms, issuer guarantees, and collateralized/securitized nature of these ~~instruments. The Bank is in the process of assessing the effect of this guidance~~instruments, on ~~its~~ mortgage loans, ~~on the financial statements. However, the ultimate effect~~and on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash ~~flows will depend on the composition of financial assets held by the Bank at the adoption date, as well as on economic conditions and forecasts at that time.~~
~~Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12)~~	~~This guidance amends the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements.~~ In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to the guidance that permit the use of the overnight index swap rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) as an eligible U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes to facilitate the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to SOFR transition.	~~This guidance became effective for the Bank for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019.~~	The guidance was applied as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Bank modified the presentation of fair value hedge results on the Bank’s Statements of Income, as well as relevant disclosures, prospectively. However, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Bank will continue to assess opportunities to expand its eligible hedge strategies in the future.
~~Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASU 2017-08)~~	This guidance shortens the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to be amortized to the earliest call date rather than contractual maturity. This guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to their contractual maturity.	~~This guidance became effective for the Bank for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019.~~	This guidance was adopted using a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 3 — Investments

The Bank makes short-term investments in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and Federal funds sold, and may make other investments in debt securities, which are classified as either trading, AFS, or HTM.

Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold. The Bank invests in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and Federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. These investments are generally transacted with counterparties that have received an investment grade credit rating of BBB or greater by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). At March 31, 2020, none of these investments were with counterparties rated below BBB, and approximately 1% were with unrated counterparties. These may differ from any internal ratings of the investments by the Bank, if applicable.

Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are generally transacted on an overnight term. Federal Finance Housing Agency (Finance Agency) regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit the Bank may extend to a counterparty. At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, all investments in interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold were repaid or expected to be repaid according to the contractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. Carrying values of interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold exclude accrued interest receivable of $2 and a de minimis amount as of March 31, 2020, respectively, and $3 and a de minimis amount as of December 31, 2019, respectively.

Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with its counterparties, the Bank determined that no allowance for credit losses was needed for its securities purchased under agreements to resell at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. The carrying value of securities purchased under agreements excludes de minimis amounts of accrued interest receivable as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

Debt Securities

The Bank invests in debt securities, which are classified as either trading, AFS, or HTM. Within these investments, the Bank is primarily subject to credit risk related to private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (PLRMBS) that are supported by underlying mortgage loans. The Bank is prohibited by Finance Agency regulations from purchasing certain higher risk securities, such as equity securities and debt instruments that are not investment quality at time of purchase.

Expected maturities of MBS classified as HTM will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the underlying obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.

At March 31, 2020, the amortized cost of the Bank’s MBS classified as HTM included premiums of $7, discounts of $10, and credit-related OTTI of $6 for HTM securities with an OTTI recognized pursuant to the impairment guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the amortized cost of the Bank’s MBS classified as HTM included premiums of ~~$12,~~$8, discounts of ~~$17, and credit-related OTTI of $7. At December 31, 2018, the amortized cost of the Bank’s MBS classified as HTM included premiums of $14, discounts of $19,~~$11, and credit-related OTTI of $7.

Allowance for Credit Losses on AFS and HTM Securities. The Bank adopted new accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments on January 1, 2020. For additional information, see Note 2 – Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance. For information on the prior methodology for evaluating credit losses, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s 2019 Form 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank recognized a provision for credit losses of $39 associated with PLRMBS classified as AFS and no provision for credit losses associated with HTM investments. Under the previous accounting methodology of security impairment, the Bank recognized credit-related net OTTI loss of $1 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. To evaluate investment securities for credit loss at March 31, 2020, the Bank employed the following ~~tables summarize~~methodologies, based on the type of security.

AFS and HTM Securities (Excluding PLRMBS) – The Bank’s AFS and HTM securities ~~with unrealized losses as of~~are principally U.S. obligations and MBS issued by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgage loans. The Bank only purchases securities considered investment quality. Excluding PLRMBS investments, at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately 100% of AFS securities and December 31, 2018. The unrealized losses are aggregated by major security type and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position. Total unrealized losses in the following tables will not agree to the total gross unrecognized holding losses in the tables above. The unrealized losses in the following tables also include non-credit-related OTTI losses recognized in AOCI. For OTTI analysis of HTM securities, ~~and for information~~based on ~~HTM securities in unrealized loss positions that are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired, see Note 6 – Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis.~~

~~See Note 6 – Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis for information on the transfers of~~Bank’s AFS securities ~~between the AFS portfolio and the HTM portfolio.~~

~~Note 6 — Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis~~

~~On a quarterly basis, the Bank evaluates its individual AFS and HTM investment securities~~were in an unrealized loss ~~position for OTTI. As part of this evaluation,~~position. These losses are considered temporary as the Bank ~~considers whether it~~expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these AFS investment securities and neither intends to sell ~~each debt security and whether~~these securities nor considers it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell ~~the debt security~~these securities before its anticipated recovery of ~~the~~each security's remaining amortized cost basis. ~~If either~~Further, the Bank has not experienced any payment defaults on the instruments. In addition, substantially all of these ~~conditions is met,~~securities carry an implicit or explicit government guarantee. As a result, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on these AFS securities at March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Bank ~~recognizes~~had not established an ~~OTTI charge~~allowance for credit loss on any of its HTM securities because the securities: (i) were all highly rated or had short remaining terms to ~~earnings equal~~maturity, (ii) had not experienced, nor did the Bank expect, any payment default on the instruments, and (iii) in the case of GSE or other U.S. obligations, carry an implicit or explicit government guarantee such that the Bank consider the risk of nonpayment to be zero.

Private-Label Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities – The Bank also holds investments in PLRMBS. The Bank has not purchased any PLRMBS since the ~~entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the statement~~first quarter of ~~condition date. For securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet either~~2008. However, many of these ~~conditions,~~securities have subsequently experienced significant credit deterioration. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 7% of PLRMBS (AFS and HTM combined, based on amortized cost) were rated A, or above, by an NRSRO; and the remaining securities were either rated less than A, or were unrated. To determine whether an allowance for credit loss is necessary on these securities, the Bank ~~considers whether it expects~~uses cash flow analyses. For certain PLRMBS where underlying collateral data is not available, alternative procedures as determined by the Bank are used to ~~recover~~assess these securities for credit loss measurement.

At each quarter end, the ~~entire amortized cost basis of the security by comparing its best estimate of~~Bank compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected ~~from~~on its PLRMBS, using the ~~security with~~effective interest rate, to the amortized cost basis of the ~~security. If~~ securities to determine whether a credit loss exists. The expected credit losses are measured using:

the ~~Bank’s best estimate of~~remaining payment terms for the ~~present value of~~security;

prepayment speeds based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics;

expected default rates based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics;

expected housing price changes;

expected interest rate assumptions; and

loss severities on the collateral supporting each unique PLRMBS based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics.

The projected cash flows ~~expected to be collected is less than~~are based on a number of assumptions and expectations, and the ~~amortized cost basis, the difference is considered the credit loss.~~

~~Private-Label Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (PLRMBS).~~ ~~A significant input to the Bank’s~~results of these models can vary significantly with changes in assumptions and expectations. The scenario of cash ~~flow analysis of its PLRMBS is the forecast of future housing price changes. The OTTI Governance Committee of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) developed~~flows determined reflects management’s expectations and includes a ~~short-term~~base case housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 6.0% to an increase of 14.0% over the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2019. For the vast majority of markets, the projected short-term housing price changes range from an increase of 2.0% to an increase of 6.0%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for ~~each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.~~near- and long-term horizons.

For all the PLRMBS in its AFS and HTM portfolios, the Bank does not intend to sell any security and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell any security before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

For securities ~~determined~~with an OTTI recognized pursuant to ~~be other-than-temporarily impaired~~the impairment guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2020, as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 (securities for which the Bank determined that it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis), the following table presents a summary of the significant inputs used in measuring the ~~amount~~fair value of ~~credit loss recognized in earnings during the first quarter~~PLRMBS classified as Level 3 as of ~~2019,~~March 31, 2020, and the related current credit enhancement for the Bank.

Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before the Bank will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the PLRMBS investments in each category shown. The classification is based on the model used to run the estimated cash flows for the CUSIP, which may not necessarily be the same as the classification at the time of origination.

In general, the Bank elects to transfer any PLRMBS that incurred a ~~credit-related OTTI charge~~credit loss during the applicable period from the Bank’s HTM portfolio to its AFS portfolio at their fair values. The Bank recognized ~~an OTTI~~a credit loss on these HTM PLRMBS, which the Bank believes is evidence of a significant decline in the issuers’ creditworthiness. The decline in the issuers’ creditworthiness is the basis for the transfers to the AFS portfolio. These transfers allow the Bank the option to sell these securities prior to maturity in view of changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, or other factors, while recognizing the Bank’s intent to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time.

The Bank ~~does not intend~~transferred PLRMBS from its HTM portfolio to ~~sell~~ its ~~other-than-temporarily impaired securities and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell any security before its anticipated recovery of the remaining~~AFS portfolio with an amortized cost ~~basis.~~

~~The following tables present~~For the Bank’s ~~AFS~~PLRMBS, the Bank experienced declines in fair value in March 2020 as a result of disruptions in the financial markets combined with illiquidity in the PLRMBS market and ~~HTM PLRMBS that incurred OTTI losses anytime during the life~~decreased expectations of the performance of loan collateral underlying these securities, which caused these assets to be valued at discounts to their amortized cost.

For the Bank’s PLRMBS that were not other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2019, the Bank has experienced net unrealized losses primarily because of illiquidity in the PLRMBS market and market expectations of the credit performance of loan collateral underlying these securities, which caused these assets to be valued at discounts to their amortized cost. The Bank does not intend to sell these securities, it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis, and the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As a result, the Bank determined that, as of March 31, 2019, all of the gross unrealized losses on these PLRMBS are temporary. These securities were included in the securities that the Bank reviewed and analyzed for OTTI as discussed above, and the analyses performed indicated that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired.

~~All Other Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Investments.~~ For the Bank’s investments in housing finance agency bonds, which were issued by CalHFA, the gross unrealized losses were mainly due to an illiquid market, credit concerns regarding the underlying mortgage collateral, and credit concerns regarding the monoline insurance providers, causing these investments to be valued at a discount to their acquisition cost. The Bank independently modeled cash flows for the underlying collateral, using assumptions for default rates and loss severity that a market participant would deem reasonable, and concluded that the available credit support within the CalHFA structure more than offset the projected underlying collateral losses. The Bank determined that, as of March 31, 2019, all of the gross unrealized losses on the bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements were sufficient to protect the Bank from losses. As a result, the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

For its agency MBS, the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities because the Bank determined that the strength of the issuers’ guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the Bank from losses. As a result, the Bank determined that, as of March 31, 2019, all of the gross unrealized losses on its agency MBS are temporary.

For more information related to the Bank’s accounting policies for OTTI, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s 2018 Form 10-K.

Many of the Bank’s advances are prepayable at the borrower’s option. However, when advances are prepaid, the borrower is generally charged a prepayment fee intended to make the Bank financially indifferent to the prepayment. In addition, for certain advances with full or partial prepayment symmetry, the Bank may charge the borrower a prepayment fee or pay the borrower a prepayment credit depending on certain circumstances, such as movements in interest rates, when the advance is prepaid. The Bank had advances with full prepayment symmetry outstanding totaling ~~$4,338~~$23,430 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$3,405~~$14,059 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The Bank had advances with partial prepayment symmetry outstanding totaling ~~$4,287~~$3,387 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$4,410~~$3,513 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Some advances may be repaid on pertinent call dates without prepayment fees (callable advances). The Bank had callable advances outstanding totaling ~~$12,902~~$11,444 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$13,255~~$14,024 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The Bank had putable advances totaling ~~$20~~$220 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and $20 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. At the Bank’s discretion, the Bank may terminate these advances on predetermined exercise dates and offer replacement funding at prevailing market rates, subject to certain conditions. The Bank would typically exercise such termination rights when interest rates increase relative to contractual rates.

The following table summarizes advances at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, by the earlier of the year of redemption term or next call date for callable advances and by the earlier of the year of redemption term or next put date for putable advances.

For information related to the Bank’s credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance methodology for credit losses, see Note 9 – Allowance for Credit Losses.

~~Note 9 — Allowance for Credit Losses~~

The Bank has established an allowance methodology for each of its portfolio segments: advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit, collectively referred to as “credit products,” mortgage loans held for portfolio, term securities purchased under agreements to resell, and term Federal funds sold. For more information on these portfolio segments, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 10 – Allowance for Credit Losses” in the Bank’s 2018 Form 10-K.

~~Credit Products.~~The Bank manages its credit exposure related to ~~credit products~~advances through an integrated approach that generally provides for a credit limit to be established for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower’s financial condition, and is coupled with conservative collateral and lending policies to limit the risk of loss while taking into account borrowers’ needs for a reliable funding source.

In addition, the Bank lends to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal law and Finance Agency regulations. Specifically, the Bank is required to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products up to the member’s total credit limit. Borrowers may pledge the following eligible assets to secure advances:

one-to-four-family first lien residential mortgage loans;

securities issued, insures, or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies, including without limitation MBS backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae;

cash or deposits in the Bank;

certain other real estate-related collateral, such as multifamily loans, commercial real estate loans, and second lien residential mortgage loans or home equity loans; and

small business, small farm, and small agribusiness loans that are fully secured by collateral (such as real estate, equipment and vehicles, accounts receivable, and inventory) from members that are community financial institutions.

Payment Status of Mortgage Loans. Payment status is the key credit quality indicator for conventional mortgage loans and allows the Bank to monitor the migration of past due loans. Past due loans are those where the borrower has failed to make timely payments of principal and/or interest in accordance with the terms of the loan. Other delinquency statistics include nonaccrual loans and loans in process of foreclosure. The following tables present the payment status for mortgage loans and other delinquency statistics for Bank’s mortgage loans at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

With the adoption of new accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments on January 1, 2020, payment status of mortgage loans is disclosed at amortized cost. The recorded investment at December 31, 2019, in a loan is the unpaid principal balance of the loan, adjusted for accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance. The amortized cost at March 31, 2020, in a loan is the unpaid principal balance of the loan, adjusted for net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, and direct write-downs.


(2)	Includes loans for which the servicer has reported a decision to foreclose or to pursue a similar alternative, such as deed-in-lieu. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due or current loans depending on their delinquency status.


(3)	At March 31, 2020, $6 of these mortgage loans on nonaccrual status did not have an associated allowance for credit losses.


(4)	Represents loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure as a percentage of the recorded investment of total mortgage loans outstanding.

Allowance for Credit Losses on MPF Loans. MPF loans are evaluated collectively when similar risk characteristics exist. MPF loans that do not share risk characteristics with other pools are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis, factoring in the credit enhancement structure at the master commitment level. The ~~amounts of charge-offs and recoveries of allowance~~Bank determines its allowances for credit losses on ~~the mortgage~~MPF loans through analyses that include consideration of various loan portfolio ~~were de minimis during~~and collateral-related characteristics, such as past performance, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected economic conditions. The Bank uses models that employ a variety of methods, such as projected cash flows, to estimate expected credit losses over the ~~three months ended~~life of the loans. These models rely on a number of inputs, such as current and forecasted property values and interest rates as well as historical borrower behavior experience. At March 31, ~~2019~~2020, the Bank’s reasonable and ~~2018.~~

~~The recorded investment and unpaid principal balance~~sale of impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $6 and $6, respectively, at March 31, 2019. The recorded investment and unpaid principal balance of impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $7 and $7, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

~~The Finance Agency’s acquired member asset (AMA) regulation permits~~ the ~~Bank to purchase and hold specified mortgage loans from its members.~~underlying property, that is, if it is considered likely that the borrower will default. The Bank and any participating financial institution share in the credit risk of the loans sold by that institution as specified in a master agreement. The Bank purchased loans under the MPF Program that were credit enhanced to an AMA investment-grade level at the time of purchase, where the Bank has a high degree of confidence that it will be paid principal and interest in all material respects, even under reasonably likely adverse changes to expected economic conditions.

~~Allowance for Credit Losses on MPF Loans~~ –The Bank evaluates the allowance for credit losses on MPF mortgage loans based on two components. The first component applies to impaired mortgage loans that are considered collateral-dependent. The estimated credit losses on impaired collateral-dependent loans may ~~be separately determined because sufficient information exists to make a reasonable~~ estimate ~~of the inherent loss on those loans on an individual loan basis. The Bank estimates~~ the fair value of this collateral by applying an appropriate loss severity rate or using ~~real estate broker price opinions~~third-party estimates or ~~automated~~property valuation ~~models based on property characteristics as well as recent market sales and current listings.~~models. The ~~resulting incurred~~expected credit loss ~~if any,~~of a collateral-dependent mortgage loan is equal to the difference between the ~~carrying value~~amortized cost of the loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs. The Bank ~~evaluates the exposure on~~will either reserve for these ~~loans by considering the first layer of loss protection (the liquidation value~~estimated losses or record a direct charge-off of the ~~real property securing~~loan balance, if certain triggering criteria are met. Expected recoveries of prior charge-offs, if any, are included in the ~~loan) and~~allowance for credit loss.

Upon adoption of new accounting guidance for the ~~availability and collectability~~measurement of credit ~~enhancements under the terms of each master commitment and records a provision for credit losses. For this component,~~losses on financial instruments applied prospectively on January 1, 2020, the Bank ~~had no~~recorded an adjustment for the cumulative effect of the accounting change of $3. The amounts of charge-offs and recoveries of allowance for credit losses ~~for MPF Original and MPF Plus loans as of~~on the mortgage loan portfolio were de minimis during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and December 31, 2018.~~

The second component applies to loans that are not specifically identified as impaired and is based on the Bank’s estimate of probable credit losses on those loans as of the financial statement date. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans collectively evaluated for impairment considers loan pool-specific attribute data, such as delinquency statistics, past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral valuations, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The analysis applies estimated loss severities and also considers the availability and collectability of credit enhancements from participating financial institutions or from mortgage insurers under the terms of each master commitment to determine the Bank’s best estimate of probable incurred losses. The analysis includes estimating projected cash flows that the Bank is likely to collect based on an assessment of all available information, including prepayment speeds, default rates, and loss severity for the mortgage loans based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics; expected housing price changes; and interest rate assumptions. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis, the Bank develops its best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected using a third-party model to project prepayments, default rates, and loss severities based on borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the mortgage loans,which resulted in conjunction with assumptions related primarily to future changes in housing prices and interest rates. The assumptions used as inputs to the model, including the forecast of future housing pricing changes, are consistent with assumptions used for the Bank’s evaluation of its PLRMBS for OTTI. For this component, the Bank established an allowance for credit losses ~~for~~on MPF ~~Original~~loans of $3 and ~~MPF Plus loans totaling~~a de minimis ~~amounts as of~~amount at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, respectively.

~~Term Federal Funds Sold.~~ The Bank invests in Federal funds sold with counterparties that are considered by the Bank to be of investment quality, and these investments are evaluated for purposes of an allowance for credit losses only if the investment is not paid when due. All investments in Federal funds sold as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, were repaid or are expected to be repaid according to the contractual terms.

Note 106 — Deposits

The Bank maintains demand deposit accounts that are directly related to the extension of credit to members and offers short-term deposit programs to members and qualifying nonmembers. In addition, a member that services mortgage loans may deposit in the Bank funds collected in connection with the mortgage loans, pending disbursement of these funds to the owners of the mortgage loans. The Bank classifies these types of deposits as non-interest-bearing deposits.

~~Deposits as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, were as follows:~~

Note 117 — Consolidated Obligations

Consolidated obligations, consisting of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes, are jointly issued by the ~~FHLBanks~~Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) through the Office of Finance, which serves as the FHLBanks’ agent. As provided by the ~~FHLBank~~Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLBank Act) or by regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated

obligations. For a discussion of the joint and several liability regulation, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 20 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K. In connection with each issuance of consolidated obligations, each FHLBank specifies the type, term, and amount of debt it requests to have issued on its behalf. The Office of Finance tracks the amount of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank. In addition, the Bank separately tracks and records as a liability its specific portion of the consolidated obligations issued and is the primary obligor for that portion of the consolidated obligations issued. The Finance Agency and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury have oversight over the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance.

The Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding includes callable bonds of ~~$11,812~~$4,075 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$11,285~~$6,345 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. When a callable bond for which the Bank is the primary obligor is issued, the Bank may simultaneously enter into an interest rate swap (in which the Bank pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate) with a call feature that mirrors the call option embedded in the bond (a sold callable swap). The Bank had notional amounts of interest rate exchange agreements hedging callable bonds of ~~$8,087~~$245 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$7,660~~$2,085 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The combined sold callable swaps and callable bonds enable the Bank to meet its funding needs at costs not otherwise directly attainable solely through the issuance of non-callable debt, while effectively converting the Bank’s net payment to an adjustable rate.

The Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, was as follows:

(1)	With the adoption of changes to accounting standards on measurement of credit losses for financial instruments on January 1, 2020, OTTI assessment was replaced with an evaluation for an allowance for credit loss (see Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Note 2 – Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance for further information).

Note 139 — Capital

Capital Requirements. Under the Housing Act, the Director of the Finance Agency is responsible for setting the risk-based capital standards for the FHLBanks. The FHLBank Act and regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks require that the Bank’s minimum capital stock requirement for shareholders must be sufficient to enable the Bank to meet its regulatory requirements for total capital, leverage capital, and risk-based capital. The Bank must maintain: (i) total regulatory capital in an amount equal to at least 4% of its total assets, (ii) leverage capital in an amount equal to at least 5% of its total assets, and (iii) permanent capital in an amount that is greater than or equal to its risk-based capital requirement.

Beginning in February 2020, the Finance Agency issued guidance that augmented existing statutory and regulatory capital requirements to require each FHLBank to maintain a ratio of at least two percent of capital stock to total assets in order to help preserve the cooperative structure incentives that encourage members to remain fully engaged in the oversight of their investment in the FHLBank. The Finance Agency will consider the proportion of capital stock to assets, measured on a daily average basis at monthend, when assessing each FHLBank’s capital management practices. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank was in compliance with this capital requirement.

Because the Bank issues only Class B stock, regulatory capital and permanent capital for the Bank are both composed of retained earnings and Class B stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock (which is classified as a liability for financial reporting purposes). Regulatory capital and permanent capital do not include AOCI. Leverage capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital, weighted by a 1.5 multiplier, plus non-permanent capital.

The risk-based capital requirement is equal to the sum of the Bank’s credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements, all of which are calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency. The Finance Agency may require an FHLBank to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirement as defined.

Excess Stock Repurchase, Retained Earnings, and Dividend Framework. By Finance Agency regulation, dividends may be paid only out of current net earnings or previously retained earnings. As required by the Finance Agency, the Bank’s Excess Stock Repurchase, Retained Earnings, and Dividend Framework (Framework) summarizes the Bank’s capital management principles and objectives, as well as its policies and practices, with respect to retained earnings, dividend payments, and the repurchase of excess capital stock. The Bank may be restricted from paying dividends if the Bank is not in compliance with any of its minimum capital requirements or if payment would cause the Bank to fail to meet any of its minimum capital requirements. In addition, the Bank may not pay dividends if any principal or interest due on any consolidated obligations has not been paid in full or is not expected to be paid in full, or, under certain circumstances, if the Bank fails to satisfy certain liquidity requirements under applicable Finance Agency regulations.

Table of Contents

Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Bank’s Board of Directors reviews the Framework at least annually and may amend the Framework from time to time. The Framework includes a dividend philosophy to endeavor to pay a quarterly dividend at an annualized rate between 5% and 7%. The decision to declare any dividend and the dividend rate are at the discretion of the Bank’s Board of Directors, which may choose to follow the dividend philosophy as guidance in the dividend declaration. The Board may also revise or eliminate the dividend policy in the future. The Bank’s historical dividend rates and the dividend philosophy are not indicative of future dividend declarations.

The Bank’s Risk Management Policy limits the payment of dividends if the ratio of the Bank’s estimated market value of total capital to par value of capital stock falls below certain levels. If this ratio at the end of any quarter is less than 100% but greater than or equal to 70%, any dividend would be limited to an annualized rate no greater than the daily average of the Federal funds effective rate for the applicable quarter (subject to certain conditions),

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco~~

~~Notes to Financial Statements (continued)~~

and if this ratio is less than 70%, the Bank would be restricted from paying a dividend. The ratio of the Bank’s estimated market value of total capital to par value of capital stock was ~~221%~~198% as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

In addition, the Bank monitors the condition of its PLRMBS portfolio, the ratio of the Bank’s estimated market value of total capital to par value of capital stock, its overall financial performance and retained earnings, developments in the mortgage and credit markets, and other relevant information as the basis for determining the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock in future quarters.

Retained Earnings – The Bank’s Framework assesses the level and adequacy of retained earnings and establishes amounts to be retained in restricted retained earnings, which are not made available in the current dividend period, and maintains an amount of total retained earnings at least equal to its required retained earnings as described in the Framework. As determined using the Bank’s methodology, the required level of total retained earnings iswas $2,500 from January 2018 through July 2019. In July 2019, the methodology was further revised and resulted in a required level of retained earnings of $2,400. In January 2020, the methodology was further revised and resulted in a required level of retained earnings of $2,500. The Bank satisfies its retained earnings requirement with both restricted retained earnings (i.e., amounts related to the Joint Capital Enhancement (JCE) Agreement) and unrestricted retained earnings. The Bank’s retained earnings requirement may be changed at any time. The Board of Directors periodically reviews the retained earnings methodology and analysis to determine whether any adjustments are appropriate.

The Bank’s restricted retained earnings totaled ~~$668 and $647~~$713 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018, respectively.~~2019. The Bank’s unrestricted retained earnings totaled ~~$2,732~~$2,691 and ~~$2,699~~$2,754 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

For more information on restricted retained earnings and the Bank’s Framework, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 15 – Capital” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K.

Dividend Payments – Finance Agency rules state that FHLBanks may declare and pay dividends only from previously retained earnings or current net earnings, and may not declare or pay dividends based on projected or anticipated earnings. There is no requirement that the Board of Directors declare and pay any dividend. A decision by the Board of Directors to declare or not declare a dividend is a discretionary matter and is subject to the requirements and restrictions of the FHLBank Act and applicable requirements under the regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks.

In addition, Finance Agency rules do not permit the Bank to pay dividends in the form of capital stock if its excess capital stock exceeds 1% of its total assets. Excess capital stock is defined as the aggregate of the capital stock held by each shareholder in excess of its minimum capital stock requirement, as established by the Bank’s capital plan. AsExcess capital stock totaled $175, or 0.14% of total assets as of March 31, ~~2019, the Bank’s excess~~2020. Excess capital stock totaled ~~$229,~~$197, or ~~0.21%~~0.18% of total ~~assets.~~assets as of December 31, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $54, including $52 in dividends on capital stock and $2 in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the first quarter of 2019,

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $54, including $50 in dividends on capital stock and $4 in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the first quarter of 2018, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $59, including $53 in dividends on capital stock and $6 in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

For the periods referenced above, the Bank paid dividends in cash. Dividends on capital stock are recognized as dividends on the Statements of Capital Accounts, and dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock are recognized as interest expense on the Statements of Income.

Excess Capital Stock – The Bank’s capital plan provides that the Bank may repurchase some or all of a shareholder’s excess capital stock, including any excess mandatorily redeemable capital stock, at the Bank’s discretion, subject to certain statutory and regulatory

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco~~

~~Notes to Financial Statements (continued)~~

requirements. ~~The Bank must give the shareholder 15 days’ written notice; however, the shareholder may waive this notice period.~~ The Bank may also repurchase all of a member’s excess capital stock at a member’s request, at the Bank’s discretion, subject to certain statutory and regulatory requirements. A shareholder’s excess capital stock is defined as any capital stock holdings in excess of the shareholder’s minimum capital stock requirement, as established by the Bank’s capital plan. The Bank’s practice is to repurchase the surplus capital stock of all members and the excess capital stock of all former members on a daily schedule. Surplus capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of 115% of a member’s minimum stock requirement. The Bank calculates the amount of stock to be repurchased each business day based on the shareholder’s capital stock outstanding after all stock transactions are completed for the day, ensuring that each member and former member would continue to meet its minimum capital stock requirement after the repurchase. The Bank may change this practice at any time. The Bank repurchased ~~$344~~$431 and ~~$428~~$344 in excess capital stock during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively.

The Bank is required to redeem any mandatorily redeemable capital stock that is in excess of a former member’s minimum stock requirement on or after the expiration of the five-year redemption date. During the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Bank redeemed a de minimis amount in mandatorily redeemable capital stock, for which the five-year redemption period had expired, at its $100 par value. The stock was redeemed on the scheduled redemption dates or, for stock that was not excess stock on its scheduled redemption date because of outstanding activity with the Bank, on the first available repurchase date after the stock was no longer required to support outstanding activity with the Bank.

On April 9, 2018, the Bank’s Board of Directors revised the Framework to change the Bank’s practice of repurchasing the surplus capital stock of all members and the excess capital stock of all former members from a quarterly schedule to a daily schedule. Surplus capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of 115% of a member’s minimum stock requirement. Effective April 24, 2018, the Bank began calculating the amount of stock to be repurchased each business day based on the shareholder’s capital stock outstanding after all stock transactions are completed for the day, ensuring that each member and former member would continue to meet its minimum capital stock requirement after the repurchase. The Bank may change this practice at any time. All repurchases of capital stock are at the Bank’s discretion, subject to certain statutory and regulatory requirements and to the Bank’s Risk Management Policy, Capital Plan, and the Framework.

~~Excess capital stock totaled $229 and $166 as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.~~

Concentration. The following table presents the concentration in capital stock held by institutions whose capital stock ownership represented 10% or more of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, or December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Note 1410 — Segment Information

The Bank uses an analysis of financial results based on the financial components and adjusted net interest income of two operating segments, the advances-related business and the mortgage-related business, as well as other financial information, to review and assess financial performance and determine financial management strategies related to the operations of these ~~two~~2 business segments. For purposes of segment reporting, adjusted net interest income includes income and expense associated with net settlements from economic hedges that are recorded in “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives and hedging activities” in other income, excludes interest income and expense associated with ineffectiveness from fair value hedges that are recorded in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item, and excludes interest expense that is recorded in “Mandatorily redeemable capital stock.” Other key financial information, such as any credit-related OTTI losses on the Bank’s PLRMBS, other expenses, and assessments, is not included in the segment reporting analysis, but is incorporated into the Bank’s overall assessment of financial performance.

Note 1511 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities

General. The Bank may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable, putable, and basis swaps); and cap and floor agreements (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements or derivatives). Most of the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements are executed in conjunction with the origination of advances or the issuance of consolidated

Table of Contents

Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

obligations to create variable rate structures. The interest rate exchange agreements are generally executed at the same time the advances and consolidated obligations are transacted and generally have the same maturity dates as the related hedged instrument. The Bank transacts most of its derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. Derivatives may be either uncleared or cleared. In an uncleared derivative transaction, the Bank’s counterparty is the executing bank or broker-dealer. In a cleared derivative transaction, the Bank may execute the transaction either directly with the executing bank or broker-dealer or on a swap execution facility, but in either case, the Bank’s counterparty is a derivatives clearing organization or clearinghouse once the derivative transaction has been accepted for clearing. The Bank is not a derivatives dealer and does not trade derivatives for short-term profit.

Additional uses of interest rate exchange agreements include: (i) offsetting embedded features in assets and liabilities, (ii) hedging anticipated issuance of debt, (iii) matching against consolidated obligation discount notes ~~or bonds~~ to create the equivalent of callable or non-callable fixed rate debt, (iv) modifying the repricing frequency of assets and liabilities, (v) matching against certain advances and consolidated obligations for which the Bank elected the fair value option, and (vi) exactly offsetting other derivatives cleared at a derivatives clearing organization. The

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Notes to Financial Statements (continued)~~

Bank’s use of interest rate exchange agreements results in one of the following classifications: (i) a fair value hedge of an underlying financial instrument or (ii) an economic hedge of assets, liabilities, or other derivatives.

The Bank primarily uses the following ~~derivative~~interest rate exchange agreement instruments:

Interest Rate Swaps – An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, the party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable rate for the same period of time. The variable rate received or paid by the Bank in most interest rate exchange agreements is ~~either indexed to LIBOR~~based on a daily repricing index, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or to the ~~overnight index swap~~effective Fed Funds rate.

Interest Rate Caps and Floors – In a cap agreement, additional cash flow is generated if the price or interest rate of an underlying variable rate rises above a certain threshold (or cap) price. In a floor agreement, additional cash flow is generated if the price or interest rate of an underlying variable rate falls below a certain threshold (or floor) price. Caps and floors may be used in conjunction with assets or liabilities. In general, caps and floors are designed as protection against the interest rate on a variable rate asset or liability rising above or falling below a certain level.

Hedging Activities. The Bank documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Derivatives designated as fair value hedges may be transacted to hedge: (i) assets and liabilities on the ~~Statement~~Statements of Condition, (ii) firm commitments, or (iii) forecasted transactions. The Bank also formally assesses (both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the hedging derivatives have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of hedged items attributable to the hedged risk and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective hedges in future periods. The Bank typically uses regression analyses or other statistical analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges. When it is determined that a derivative has not been or is not expected to be effective as a hedge, the Bank discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

The Bank may have the following types of hedged items:

Investments – The Bank may invest in U.S. Treasury and agency obligations as well as agency ~~MBS, and the taxable portion of highly rated state or local housing finance agency obligations.~~MBS. In the past, the Bank has also invested in PLRMBS rated AAA at the time of acquisition. The interest rate and prepayment risk associated with these investment securities is managed through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. The Bank may manage prepayment risk and interest rate risk by funding investment securities with consolidated

Table of Contents

Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

obligations that have call features or by hedging the prepayment risk with a combination of consolidated obligations and callable swaps. The Bank may execute callable swaps in conjunction with the issuance of certain liabilities to create funding that is economically equivalent to fixed rate callable debt. Although these derivatives are economic hedges against prepayment risk and are designated to individual liabilities, they do not receive either fair value or cash flow hedge accounting treatment. Investment securities may be classified as trading, AFS, or HTM.

The Bank may also manage the risk arising from changing market prices or cash flows of investment securities classified as trading or AFS by entering into interest rate exchange agreements that offset the changes in fair value or cash flows of the securities. Hedge relationships that involve trading securities are designated as economic hedges, while hedge relationships that involve AFS securities are designated as fair value hedges. For trading securities that have been designated as an economic hedge, the market value changes of both the trading securities and the associated interest rate exchange agreements are included in other income in the Statements of Income. Beginning January 1, 2019, the Bank adopted new hedge accounting guidance, which, among other things, affects the presentation of gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities for qualifying hedges, including fair value hedges of AFS securities. For AFS securities that have been hedged and qualify as a fair value hedge, the Bank

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco~~

~~Notes to Financial Statements (continued)~~

records the portion of the change in the fair value of the investment related to the risk being hedged in interest income together with the related change in the fair value of the derivative, and records ~~the remainder of the change in the fair value of the investment in AOCI as “Net unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS securities.”~~

Prior to January 1, 2019, for AFS securities that were hedged and qualified as a fair value hedge, the Bank recorded the portion of the change in the fair value of the investment related to the risk being hedged in non-interest income as “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives and hedging activities” together with the related change in the fair value of the derivative, and recorded the remainder of the change in the fair value of the investment in AOCI as “Net unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS securities.”

Advances – The Bank offers a wide range of advances structures to meet members’ funding needs. These advances may have maturities up to 30 years with fixed or adjustable rates and may include early termination features or options. The Bank may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of the Bank’s funding liabilities. In general, whenever a member executes a fixed rate advance, fixed rate advance with embedded options, or a variable rate advance with embedded options, the Bank will simultaneously execute an interest rate exchange agreement with terms that offset the terms and any embedded options in the advance. The combination of the advance and the interest rate exchange agreement effectively creates a variable rate asset. Fixed rate advances without options that are offset with an interest rate exchange agreement are generally treated as fair value hedges. Advances with embedded options are recorded using the fair value option and are economically hedged using interest rate exchange agreements.

Mortgage Loans – The Bank’s investment portfolio includes fixed rate mortgage loans. The prepayment options embedded in mortgage loans can result in extensions or contractions in the expected repayment of these investments, depending on changes in estimated prepayment speeds. The Bank manages the interest rate risk and prepayment risk associated with fixed rate mortgage loans through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. The Bank uses both callable and non-callable debt to achieve cash flow patterns and market value sensitivities for liabilities similar to those expected on the mortgage loans. Net income could be reduced if the Bank replaces prepaid mortgage loans with lower-yielding assets and the Bank’s higher funding costs are not reduced accordingly.

The Bank executes callable swaps in conjunction with the issuance of certain consolidated obligations to create funding that is economically equivalent to fixed rate callable bonds. Although these derivatives are economic hedges against the prepayment risk of specific loan pools and are referenced to individual liabilities, they do not receive either fair value or cash flow hedge accounting treatment.

Consolidated Obligations – Consolidated obligation bonds may be structured to meet the Bank’s or the investors’ needs. Common structures include fixed rate bonds with or without call options and adjustable rate bonds with or without embedded options. In general, when bonds are issued, the Bank simultaneously executes an interest rate exchange agreement with terms that offset the terms and embedded options, if any, of the consolidated obligation bond. This combination of the consolidated obligation bond and the interest rate exchange agreement effectively creates an adjustable rate bond. ~~The cost of this funding combination is generally lower than the cost that would be available through the issuance of an adjustable rate bond alone.~~ These transactions generally receive fair value hedge accounting treatment.

When the Bank issues consolidated obligation discount notes, it may also simultaneously enter into an interest rate exchange agreement to convert the fixed rate discount note to an adjustable rate discount note. This type of hedge is treated as an economic hedge.

Table of Contents

Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

In addition, when certain consolidated obligation bonds for which the Bank has elected the fair value option are issued, the Bank simultaneously executes an interest rate exchange agreement with terms that economically offset the terms of the consolidated obligation bond. However, this type of hedge is treated as an economic hedge because these combinations do not meet the requirements for fair value hedge accounting treatment.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco~~

~~Notes to Financial Statements (continued)~~

Offsetting Derivatives – The Bank enters into derivatives to offset the economic effect of other derivatives that are no longer designated to advances, investments, or consolidated obligations. Offsetting derivatives do not receive hedge accounting treatment and are separately marked to market through earnings. The net result of the accounting for these derivatives does not significantly affect the operating results of the Bank.

The notional amount of an interest rate exchange agreement serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid. However, the notional amount of derivatives represents neither the actual amounts exchanged nor the overall exposure of the Bank to credit risk and market risk. The risks of derivatives can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis by taking into account the counterparties, the types of derivatives, the items being hedged, and any offsets between the derivatives and the items being hedged.

Beginning on January 1, 2019, changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair value hedges are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Prior to January 1, 2019, for fair value hedges, any hedge ineffectiveness (which represented the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differed from the change in the fair value of the hedged item) was recorded in other income as “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

The following ~~table presents,~~tables present, by type of hedged item, the gains and losses on fair value hedging relationships and the impact of those derivatives on the Bank’s Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and 2019.

~~(1)~~	~~This amount is for derivatives for which variation margin on cleared derivatives is characterized as a daily settled contract.~~

Credit Risk – The Bank is subject to credit risk ~~as a result of~~from potential nonperformance by counterparties to the interest rate exchange agreements. All of the Bank’s agreements governing uncleared derivative transactions contain master netting provisions to help mitigate the credit risk exposure to each counterparty. The Bank manages counterparty credit risk through credit analyses and collateral requirements and by following the requirements of the Bank’s risk management policies, credit guidelines, and Finance Agency and other regulations. The Bank also requires credit support agreements on all uncleared derivatives.

For cleared derivatives, the clearinghouse is the Bank’s counterparty. The requirement that the Bank post initial and variation margin through a clearing agent, to the clearinghouse, exposes the Bank to institutional credit risk in the event that the clearing agent or the clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives, however, mitigates the Bank’s overall credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties. Variation margin and initial margin are posted for changes in the value and risk profile of cleared derivatives. The Bank has analyzed the enforceability of offsetting rights applicable to its cleared derivative transactions and determined that the exercise of those offsetting rights by a non-defaulting party under these transactions should be upheld under applicable bankruptcy law and Commodity Futures Trading Commission rules in the event of a clearinghouse or clearing agent insolvency and under applicable clearinghouse rules upon a non-insolvency-based event of default of the clearinghouse or clearing agent. Based on this analysis, the Bank presents a net derivative receivable or payable for all of its transactions through a particular clearing agent with a particular clearinghouse.

Based on the Bank’s credit analyses and the collateral requirements, the Bank does not expect to incur any credit losses on its derivative transactions.

The Bank’s agreements for uncleared derivative transactions contain provisions that link the Bank’s credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings to various rights and obligations. Certain of these derivative agreements provide that, if the Bank’s long-term debt rating falls below a specified rating (ranging from A3/A- to Baa3/BBB-), the Bank’s counterparty would have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate all of its outstanding derivative transactions with the Bank; the Bank’s agreements with its clearing agents for cleared derivative transactions have similar provisions with respect to the debt rating of FHLBank System consolidated bonds. If this occurs, the Bank may choose to enter into replacement hedges, either by transferring the existing transactions to another counterparty or entering into new replacement transactions, based on prevailing market rates. The aggregate fair value of all uncleared derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net derivative liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, was ~~$163,~~$1,036, for which the Bank had posted cash collateral of ~~$176~~$1,070 in the ordinary course of business.

Note 1612 — Fair Value

The following fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and the Bank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the Bank at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Although the Bank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the Bank’s financial instruments, in certain cases fair values cannot be precisely quantified or verified and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change. The Bank continues to refine its valuation methodologies as markets and products develop and the pricing for certain products becomes more or less transparent. While the Bank believes that its valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value as of the reporting date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). Therefore, the fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in current market transactions, although they do reflect the Bank’s judgment as to how a market participant would estimate the fair values. The fair value summary

Fair Value Hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the fair value methodologies and valuation techniques as well as the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value for assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the Statements of Condition. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). An entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

The application of the fair value hierarchy to the Bank’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the reporting entity can access on the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which the transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Table of Contents

Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco~~

~~Notes to Financial Statements (continued)~~

be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, and implied volatilities); and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following assets and liabilities, including those for which the Bank has elected the fair value option, are carried at fair value on the Statements of Condition as of March 31, ~~2019:~~2020:

Trading securities

AFS securities

Certain advances

Derivative assets and liabilities

Certain consolidated obligation bonds

Certain other assets

For instruments carried at fair value, the Bank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. ~~Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in or out as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur.~~ For the periods presented, the Bank did not have any reclassifications for transfers in or out of level 3 of the fair value ~~hierarchy levels.~~hierarchy.

Summary of Valuation Methodologies and Primary ~~Inputs.~~Inputs

The valuation methodologies and primary inputs used to develop the measurement of fair value for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in the Statements of Condition are listed below.

Investment Securities – MBS – To value its MBS, the Bank obtains prices from multiple designated third-party pricing vendors when available. The pricing vendors use various proprietary models to price these securities. The inputs to those models are derived from various sources including, but not limited to: benchmark yields, reported trades, dealer estimates, issuer spreads, prices on benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. Since many securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing vendors use available information as applicable, such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to determine the prices for individual securities. Each pricing vendor has an established challenge process in place for all security valuations, which facilitates resolution of price discrepancies identified by the Bank.

At least annually, the Bank conducts reviews of the multiple pricing vendors to update and confirm its understanding of the vendors’ pricing processes, methodologies, and control procedures.

The Bank’s valuation technique for estimating the fair values of its MBS first requires the establishment of a median vendor price for each security. If three prices are received, the middle price is the median price; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is the median price; and if one price is received, it is the median price (and also the default fair value) subject to additional validation. All vendor prices that are within a specified tolerance threshold of the median price are included in the cluster of vendor prices that are averaged to establish a default fair value. All vendor prices that are outside the threshold (outliers) are subject to further analysis including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar ~~securities and/or dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant~~

securities and/or dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider. Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value. If an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price, as appropriate) is used as the fair value rather than the default fair value. If, instead, the analysis confirms that an outlier is (or outliers are) not representative of fair value and the default fair value is the best estimate, then the default fair value is used as the fair value.

If all vendor prices received for a security are outside the tolerance threshold level of the median price, then there is no default fair value, and the fair value is determined by an evaluation of all outlier prices (or the other prices, as appropriate) as described above.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, multiple vendor prices were received for most of the Bank’s MBS, and the fair value estimates for most of those securities were determined in accordance with the Bank’s valuation technique based on these vendor prices. Based on the Bank’s reviews of the pricing methods employed by the third-party pricing vendors and the relative lack of dispersion among the vendor prices (or, in those instances in which there were outliers, the Bank’s additional analyses), the Bank believes that its fair value estimates are reasonable and that the fair value measurements are classified appropriately in the fair value hierarchy. Based on limited market liquidity for PLRMBS, the fair value measurements for these securities were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities – ~~FFCB Bonds~~Non-MBS – ~~The Bank estimates~~To determine the estimated fair values of ~~these securities~~non-MBS investments, the Bank uses a market approach using prices from third-party pricing vendors, generally consistent with the ~~methodology described above~~methodologies for ~~Investment Securities – MBS~~.MBS. The Bank believes that its methodologies result in fair values that are reasonable and similar in all material respects based on the nature of the financial instruments being measured.

Advances Recorded Under the Fair Value Option – Because quoted prices are not available for advances, the fair values are measured using model-based valuation techniques (such as calculating the present value of future cash flows and reducing the amount for accrued interest receivable).

The Bank’s primary inputs for measuring the fair value of advances recorded under the fair value option are market-based consolidated obligation yield curve (CO Curve) inputs obtained from the Office of Finance. The CO Curve is then adjusted to reflect the rates on replacement advances with similar terms and collateral. These spread adjustments are not market-observable and are evaluated for significance in the overall fair value measurement and the fair value hierarchy level of the advance. The Bank obtains market-observable inputs for complex advances recorded under the fair value option. These inputs may include volatility assumptions, which are market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options (swaption volatility and volatility skew). The discount rates used in these calculations are the replacement advance rates for advances with similar terms. Pursuant to the Finance Agency’s advances regulation, advances with an original term to maturity or repricing period greater than six months generally require a prepayment fee sufficient to make the Bank financially indifferent to the borrower’s decision to prepay the advances. The Bank determined that no adjustment is required to the fair value measurement of advances for prepayment fees. In addition, the Bank did not adjust its fair value measurement of advances recorded under the fair value option for creditworthiness primarily because advances were fully collateralized.

Other Assets – The estimated fair value of grantor trust assets is based on quoted market prices.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities – In general, derivative instruments transacted and held by the Bank for risk management activities are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. These derivatives are interest rate-related. For these derivatives, the Bank measures fair value using internally developed discounted cash flow models that use market-observable inputs, such as swap rates and volatility assumptions, which are market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market ~~prices for similar options (swaption volatility and volatility skew), adjusted for counterparty credit risk, as necessary.~~

prices for similar options (swaption volatility and volatility skew), adjusted for counterparty credit risk, as necessary.

The Bank is subject to credit risk because of the risk of potential nonperformance by its derivative counterparties. To mitigate this risk, the Bank executes uncleared derivative transactions only with highly rated derivative dealers and major banks (derivative dealer counterparties) that meet the Bank’s eligibility criteria. In addition, the Bank has entered into master netting agreements and bilateral credit support agreements with all active derivative dealer counterparties that provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels to limit the Bank’s net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties. Under these policies and agreements, the amount of unsecured credit exposure to an individual derivative dealer counterparty is set at zero (subject to a minimum transfer amount). The Bank clears its cleared derivative transactions only through clearing agents that meet the Bank’s eligibility requirements, and the Bank’s credit exposure to the clearinghouse is secured by variation margin received from the clearinghouse. All credit exposure from derivative transactions entered into by the Bank with member counterparties that are not derivative dealers must be fully secured by eligible collateral. The Bank evaluated the potential for the fair value of the instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk and determined that no adjustments to the overall fair value measurements were required.

The fair values of the derivative assets and liabilities include accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral remitted to/received from counterparties. The estimated fair values of the accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. The fair values of derivatives that met the netting requirements are presented on a net basis. If these netted amounts are positive, they are classified as an asset and, if negative, they are classified as a liability.

Consolidated Obligations Recorded Under the Fair Value Option – Because quoted prices in active markets are not generally available for identical liabilities, the Bank measures fair values using internally developed models that use primarily market-observable inputs. The Bank’s primary input for measuring the fair value of consolidated obligation bonds is a market-based CO Curve obtained from the Office of Finance. The Office of Finance constructs the CO Curve using the Treasury yield curve as a base curve, which is adjusted by indicative consolidated obligation spreads obtained from market-observable sources. These market indications are generally derived from pricing indications from dealers, historical pricing relationships, and market activity for similar liabilities, such as recent GSE issuances or secondary market activity. For consolidated obligation bonds with embedded options, the Bank also obtains market-observable inputs, such as volatility assumptions, which are market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options (swaption volatility and volatility skew).

Adjustments may be necessary to reflect the Bank’s credit quality or the credit quality of the FHLBank System when valuing consolidated obligation bonds measured at fair value. The Bank monitors its own creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks and the FHLBank System to determine whether any adjustments are necessary for creditworthiness in its fair value measurement of consolidated obligation bonds. The credit ratings of the FHLBank System and any changes to the credit ratings are the basis for the Bank to determine whether the fair values of consolidated obligations recorded under the fair value option have been significantly affected during the reporting period by changes in the instrument-specific credit risk.

Subjectivity of Estimates Related to Fair Values of Financial Instruments. Estimates of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the methodologies described above are subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters, such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material effect on the fair value estimates.

Fair Value Option. The fair value option provides an entity with an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. It requires an entity to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the Statements of Condition. Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities, and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. Interest income and interest expense on advances and consolidated bonds carried at fair value are recognized solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid. Any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized in non-interest income or non-interest expense.

For more information on the Bank’s election of the fair value option, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 19 – Fair Values” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K.

The Bank has elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments to assist in mitigating potential earnings volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value. The potential earnings volatility associated with using fair value only for the derivative is the Bank’s primary reason for electing the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities that do not qualify for hedge accounting or that have not previously met or may be at risk for not meeting the hedge effectiveness requirements.

The following table summarizes the activity related to financial assets and liabilities for which the Bank elected the fair value option during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018:~~2019:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For instruments for which the fair value option has been elected, the related contractual interest income and contractual interest expense are recorded as part of net interest income on the Statements of Income. The remaining changes in fair value for instruments for which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as net gains/ (losses) on financial instruments held under the fair value option in the Statements of Income, except for changes in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk, which are recorded in AOCI on the Statements of Condition. For advances and consolidated obligations recorded under the fair value option, the Bank determined that none of the remaining changes in fair value were related to instrument-specific credit risk for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018.~~2019. In determining that there has been no change in instrument-specific credit risk period to period, the Bank primarily considered the following factors:

The Bank is a federally chartered GSE, and as a result of this status, the consolidated obligations have historically received the same credit ratings as the government bond credit rating of the United States, even though they are not obligations of the United States and are not guaranteed by the United States.

The Bank is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all consolidated obligations of each of the FHLBanks.

Note 1713 — Commitments and Contingencies

As provided by the FHLBank Act or regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations, which are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The joint and several liability regulation authorizes the Finance Agency to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The regulations provide a general framework for addressing the possibility that an FHLBank may be unable to repay the consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor. The Bank has never been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, and as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and through the filing date of this report, does not believe that it is probable that it will be asked to do so. The par value of the outstanding consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks was ~~$1,010,895~~$1,174,670 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$1,031,617~~$1,025,895 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The par value of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligations was ~~$102,472~~$117,062 at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$101,609~~$98,817 at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Standby letters of credit are generally issued for a fee on behalf of members to support their obligations to third parties. If the Bank is required to make a payment for a beneficiary’s drawing under a letter of credit, the amount is immediately due and payable by the member to the Bank and is charged to the member’s demand deposit account with the Bank. ~~The~~At March 31, 2020, the original terms of these standby letters of credit range from 142 days to 15 years, including a final expiration in ~~2033.~~2035.

Quarterly Overview

The Bank serves eligible financial institutions in Arizona, California and Nevada, the three states that make up the Eleventh District of the FHLBank System. The Bank’s primary business is providing competitively priced, collateralized loans, known as advances, to its member institutions and certain qualifying housing associates. The Bank’s principal source of funds is debt issued in the capital markets. All 11 FHLBanks issue debt in the form of consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent, and all 11 FHLBanks are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of all consolidated obligations.

The Bank ~~experienced strong earnings in the first quarter~~incurred a net loss of ~~2019. Net income for the quarter was $104 million, compared with net income of $81~~$8 million for the first quarter of ~~2018. The $23 million increase in~~2020, compared with net income primarily reflected improvements in net fair value gains and losses associated with derivatives, hedge items, and financial instruments carried at fair value, and a decrease in the expense associated with voluntary charitable contributionsof $104 million for ~~the Quality Jobs Fund, from $10 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $5 million in~~ the first quarter of 2019. The ~~increase~~$112 million decrease in net income/(loss) relative to the prior-year period primarily reflected a $95 million decrease in net interest income, from $144 million for the first quarter of 2019 to $49 million for the first quarter of 2020. As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, conditions in the financial markets deteriorated significantly beginning in late February and into March 2020, causing significant disruption to the availability of funds in the credit markets and resulting in adverse changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and asset prices. The decrease in net interest income, driven both by lower interest rates and by increases in credit spreads, was primarily attributable to an increase of $43 million in net fair value losses on designated fair value hedges, from $10 million for the first quarter of 2019 to $53 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in net interest income also reflected a retrospective adjustment of the effective yields on mortgage loans of $15 million, driven by faster projected prepayments because of lower mortgage rates. Finally, the decrease in net income/(loss) also reflected a provision for current expected credit losses of $39 million for the first quarter of 2020 associated with certain private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (PLRMBS) classified as available-for-sale (AFS), primarily resulting from a significant decline in fair values.

The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by a ~~$4 million decrease~~decline in Affordable Housing Program (AHP) assessments. Because of the net ~~interest income~~loss in the first quarter of 2020, the Bank recorded no AHP assessment for the quarter. In the first quarter of 2019, ~~relative to~~ the ~~prior-year period, reflecting a decline in spreads on interest-earning assets.~~AHP assessment was $12 million.

Retained earnings ~~grew~~decreased to $3.4 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$3.3~~$3.5 billion at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, primarily resulting from a net loss of $8 million in the first three months of 2020 and ~~the Bank~~dividends paid ~~dividends~~ at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $54 million, including ~~$50~~$52 million in dividends on capital stock and $4$2 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock during the first ~~quarter 2019.~~three months of 2020.

Total assets increased ~~$1.3~~$18.1 billion during ~~2019,~~the first three months of 2020, to ~~$110.6~~$124.9 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$109.3~~$106.8 billion at December 31, ~~2018. Investments~~2019. Total advances increased ~~$4.1~~$12.5 billion, to ~~$36.5~~$77.9 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$32.4~~$65.4 billion at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019. During March 2020, the Bank experienced increased demand for advances to support its members' liquidity needs in response to the pandemic and maintained its liquidity investments in compliance with Finance Agency guidance. As interest rates declined significantly during the quarter, investor demand for high credit quality, fixed income investments, including the Bank’s consolidated obligations, increased, and the Bank continued to meet its funding needs during this time. Investments increased $5.4 billion, to $43.0 billion at March 31, 2020, from $37.6 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in investments primarily ~~reflecting~~reflected an increase of $6.5 billion in Federal funds sold, ~~available-for-sale~~an increase of $2.6 billion in trading securities, ~~(AFS),~~ and an increase of $1.3 billion in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $5.0 billion in securities purchased under agreements to resell. ~~Total advances decreased $3.1 billion, to $70.3 billion at March 31, 2019, from $73.4 billion at December 31, 2018.~~

Accumulated other comprehensive ~~income increased~~income/(loss) (AOCI) decreased by $52502 million during the first three months of ~~2019,~~2020, to ~~$287~~accumulated other comprehensive loss of $228 million at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$235~~accumulated other comprehensive income of $274 million at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, primarily as a result of ~~improvement in the~~lower fair ~~value~~values of MBS classified as AFS.

On April ~~25, 2019,~~27, 2020, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 at an annualized rate of ~~7.00%~~5.00%. The dividend will total ~~$56~~$39 million, including $4$2 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock that will be reflected as interest expense in the second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. The Bank recorded the dividend on April ~~25, 2019,~~27, 2020, and expects to pay the dividend on ~~or about~~ May 14, ~~2019.~~2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, U.S. and global economies face great challenges and ongoing uncertainty. To preserve capital in this uncertain environment, the Bank’s Board of Directors has decided to pay a quarterly dividend rate at the low end of the range stated in the Bank's dividend philosophy.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s total regulatory capital ratio was ~~6.0%~~5.4%, exceeding the 4.0% requirement. The Bank had ~~$6.6~~$6.7 billion in permanent capital, exceeding its risk-based capital requirement of ~~$1.9~~$1.4 billion.

Primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, conditions in the financial markets deteriorated significantly beginning in late February and into March 2020, creating substantial uncertainty about the future economic activity and environment. The Federal Reserve undertook a number of emergency actions in March 2020 to, among other things, help facilitate liquidity and support stability in the fixed income markets while volatility across global capital markets dramatically increased. Notably, the Federal Reserve substantially increased its provision of liquidity to the repurchase agreement and U.S. Treasury markets via open market operations while also providing liquidity to related markets, such as the commercial paper market, via an array of new programs, as part of a commitment to using a full range of tools to support households, businesses, and the U.S. economy overall in this challenging time. The effects of the coronavirus pandemic, and governmental and public actions taken in response, on the global and U.S. economy and the Bank are evolving, and the full duration and impact of the pandemic and related governmental and public actions are uncertain.

The Bank’s operations in the first quarter of 2020 were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank’s staff began working remotely in mid-March 2020 to protect the Bank’s workforce and communities. The ultimate impact of the disruption caused by the outbreak is uncertain. Possible effects of a remote workforce may include, but are not limited to, operational incidents, additional cyber-security risks, and operational challenges that could affect the Bank’s ability to conduct business or increase the risk of operational errors. In addition, the Bank relies on vendors and other third parties to perform certain critical services. If one of our critical vendors or third parties experiences a failure or any interruption to their business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank may be unable to conduct and manage its business effectively.

To address the operational impact of the pandemic, the Bank maintains a Board-approved Business Continuity Management Program, along with a Crisis Management Plan and Business Continuity Plans (BCPs), which are updated and tested annually. The Bank’s BCPs provide procedures to ensure personnel safety and welfare, to safeguard the Bank’s assets, including physical property and information, and to permit the continued operations of the Bank in the event of a short-term disruption or long-term catastrophic event. The Bank’s BCPs contain operating procedures for all critical processes and identify resources and staff necessary to continue operations based on business defined recovery time objectives and communication requirements for internal and external stakeholders.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank’s leadership team has also reconfirmed its succession plan in the event any key team leader becomes incapacitated or is unable to perform his or her duties.

The Bank continued to meet its funding needs throughout recent events; however, funding costs, measured as the spread between the Bank’s consolidated obligations and U.S. Treasury securities, increased, with market participants favoring shorter-term obligations, while fixed income market conditions remained challenging. The FHLBanks coordinated and cooperated in the issuance of FHLBank System consolidated obligations, including being prepared to provide an orderly allocation of debt if needed and issuing certain structures and tenors that reduced the funding risks to the FHLBanks. As a consequence of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Operations in response to market disruptions, interest rates declined significantly, improving stability in the funding markets, increasing investor demand for System consolidated obligations, and reducing the need for coordination of debt issuance by the FHLBanks.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank’s member demand for advances increased notably in March, but future demand for advances may decrease because of lower interest rates and reduced member asset activity, while the risk of credit losses has likely increased. Other possible effects from the COVID-19 pandemic may include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Bank’s members, uncertainties in the credit markets, and a decline in the fair value of assets.

The market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also affected the valuation of mortgage collateral pledged to the Bank to secure advances, and the Bank has responded by adjusting collateral terms to reflect current market conditions. The Bank will continue to monitor credit and collateral conditions and make adjustments as needed. Because of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank is working with members on a case by case basis to reschedule field reviews of collateral or conduct an electronic file review and postpone the onsite portion of the review.

In addition, the Bank implemented certain relief measures in April 2020 to help members serve customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as accommodating forbearance and modifications to pledged loan collateral and allowing electronic signatures on loan documentation in specific circumstances. The Board of Directors has also approved subsidized programs to assist our members in responding to the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic:


(i)	The Bank is offering a new credit product–the Recovery Advance–that provides a six-month or one-year advance with a 0% interest rate to support members in their efforts to address COVID-19. The Bank estimates that the subsidy for the new product will range from $11 million to $15 million (depending on advances rates, interest rates, and member activity);


(ii)	Through the Access to Housing and Economic Assistance for Development Program, the Bank will provide an additional $1.0 million to support and augment working capital, infrastructure, and capacity building for nonprofit organizations, tribal associations, and local governments affected by the COVID-19 pandemic;


(iii)	The Bank will add $1.5 million to the Bank’s disaster relief matching donation program to match member donations to communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; and


(iv)	The Bank has increased the overall limit on the Bank’s Community Investment Cash Advance programs–Community Investment Program and Advances for Community Enterprise–from $8.0 billion to $13.0 billion and doubled the individual member limits, which are based on the member’s asset size. The total subsidy, if the funds are fully utilized, would be approximately $3 million.

Also, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Finance Agency has taken certain actions to provide various forms of relief and guidance regarding the financial, operational, credit, market, and other effects of the pandemic. See “Part II. Other Information – Item 1A. Risk Factors” for more information.

On October 2, 2019, the Financing Corporation, formed pursuant to the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation Recapitalization Act of 1987 to provide financing for the resolution of failed savings and loan associations, commenced the process of dissolution in accordance with relevant statutory requirements and the terms of a plan of dissolution approved by the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency). In connection with the pending dissolution of the Financing Corporation, an aggregate of approximately $200 million in the Financing Corporation’s surplus and remaining cash on hand is expected to be distributed in the second quarter of 2020 to the FHLBanks, as the Financing Corporation’s sole stockholders, in proportion to their

Table of Contents

ownership in the Financing Corporation’s nonvoting capital stock. The Bank’s ownership in the Financing Corporation’s nonvoting capital stock is 19.96%. The receipt by the FHLBanks of any such distribution from the Financing Corporation will be treated as a partial return of their prior capital contributions to the Financing Corporation and credited to their retained earnings.

On April 6, 2020, the Bank filed a proof of claim as a “potentially eligible claimant” to share in disgorgement proceeds paid into a distribution fund in connection with a Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action. The potential distribution payment to the Bank may be significant; however, there can be no assurance that the Bank will receive any distribution payment. Any distribution payment to the Bank is subject to acceptance of the proof of claim by the distribution agent and a court order to disburse the funds.

As provided by the FHLBank Act or regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, all of the FHLBanks have joint and several liability for FHLBank consolidated obligations, which are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The joint and several liability regulation authorizes the ~~Federal Housing~~ Finance Agency ~~(Finance Agency)~~ to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The Bank has never been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, and as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020, and through the filing date of this report, does not believe that it is probable that it will be asked to do so. The par value of the outstanding consolidated obligations of all FHLBanks at the dates indicated was as follows:

(3)	Net interest margin is net interest income (annualized) divided by average interest-earning assets.


(4)	This ratio is calculated as dividends per share divided by net income per share.


(5)	This ratio is calculated as regulatory capital divided by total assets. Regulatory capital includes retained earnings, Class B capital stock, and mandatorily redeemable capital stock (which is classified as a liability), but excludes AOCI.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income. The primary source of the Bank’s earnings is net interest income, which is the interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and investments, including net accretion of related income from improvement in expected cash flows on certain other-than-temporarily-impaired ~~private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (PLRMBS),~~PLRMBS, less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, mandatorily redeemable capital stock, and other borrowings. The Average Balance Sheets table that follows presents the average balances of interest-earning asset categories and the sources that funded those interest-earning assets (liabilities and capital) for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, together with the related interest income and expense. It also presents the average rates on total interest-earning assets and the average costs of total funding sources.

For securities previously identified as other-than-temporarily impaired pursuant to the impairment guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2020, the Bank updates its estimate of future estimated cash flows on a regular basis. If there is no additional ~~impairment~~credit loss on the security, the yield of the security is adjusted upward on a prospective basis and accreted into interest income when there is a significant increase in the expected cash flows. As a result of improvements in the estimated cash flows of securities previously identified as other-than-temporarily impaired, the net accretion of income is likely to continue to be a positive source of net interest income in future periods.

Member demand for wholesale funding from the Bank can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including economic and market conditions, competition from other wholesale funding sources, member deposit inflows and outflows, the activity level of the primary and secondary mortgage markets, and strategic decisions made by individual member institutions. As a result, Bank asset levels and operating results may vary significantly from period to period.

Under the fair value option, the Bank elected to carry certain assets and liabilities at fair value. In general, transactions elected for the fair value option are in economic hedge relationships. Gains or losses on these transactions are generally offset by losses or gains on the derivatives that economically hedge these instruments.

The net gains/(losses) on advances and consolidated obligation bonds held under the fair value option were primarily driven by the effects of changes in market interest rates, interest rate spreads, interest rate volatility, and other market factors relative to the actual terms on the advances and consolidated obligation bonds during the period.

Additional information about advances and consolidated obligation bonds held under the fair value option is provided in “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 1612 – Fair Value.”

Net Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities – ~~– Prior~~Under the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the Bank is required to ~~January 1, 2019, for~~carry all of its derivative instruments on the Statements of Condition at fair value.

~~(1)~~	Upon adoption of new hedge accounting guidance applied prospectively on January 1, 2019, amounts reported for 2019 exclude the realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on hedged items and derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships.


~~(2)~~	~~This amount is for derivatives for which variation margin on cleared derivatives is characterized as a daily settled contract.~~

During the first quarter of ~~2019,~~2020, net losses on derivatives and hedging activities totaled ~~$28~~$147 million compared to net ~~gains~~losses of ~~$31~~$28 million in the first quarter of ~~2018.~~2019. These amounts included expense of $5$8 million and expense of ~~a de minimis amount~~$5 million resulting from net settlements on derivative instruments used in economic hedges in the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of income or expense from net settlements on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, the net gains or losses on ~~fair value and~~ economic hedges were primarily associated with the effects of changes in market interest rates, interest rate spreads, interest rate volatility, and other market factors during the period.

The ongoing impact of these valuation adjustments on the Bank cannot be predicted and the effects of these valuation adjustments may lead to significant volatility in future earnings, including earnings available for dividends.

Return on Average Equity

Return on average equity was (0.46)% (annualized) for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 6.34% (annualized) for the first quarter of ~~2019, compared to 4.74% (annualized)~~2019. The decrease primarily reflected lower net income/(loss) for the first quarter of ~~2018. The increase primarily reflected higher~~2020, which decreased from net income ~~for the first quarter~~ of ~~2019, which increased 28%, from $81 million in the first quarter of 2018 to~~ $104 million in the first quarter of ~~2019.~~2019 to a net loss of $8 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Dividends and Retained Earnings

In the first quarter of 2020, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $54 million, including $52 million in dividends on capital stock and $2 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the first quarter of 2019, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $54 million, including $50 million in dividends on capital stock and $4 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the first quarter of 2018, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $59 million, including $53 million in dividends on capital stock and $6 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

The Bank paid these dividends in cash. Dividends on capital stock are recognized as dividends on the Statements of Capital Accounts, and dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock are recognized as interest expense on the Statements of Income.

On April ~~25, 2019,~~27, 2020, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 at an annualized rate of ~~7.00%~~5.00%, totaling ~~$56~~$39 million, including ~~$52~~$37 million in dividends on capital stock and $4$2 million in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. The Bank recorded the dividend on April ~~25, 2019.~~27, 2020. The Bank expects to pay the dividend on May 14, ~~2019.~~2020. Dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock will be recognized as interest expense in the second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020.

The Bank’s Excess Stock Repurchase, Retained Earnings, and Dividend Framework (Framework) assesses the level and adequacy of retained earnings and establishes amounts to be retained in restricted retained earnings, which are not made available in the current dividend period, and maintains an amount of total retained earnings at least equal to its required retained earnings as described in the Framework. As determined using the Bank’s methodology, the required level of total retained earnings iswas $2.5 billion from January 2018 through July 2019. In July 2019, the methodology was further revised and resulted in a required level of retained earnings of $2.4 billion. In January 2020, the methodology was further revised and resulted in a required level of retained earnings of $2.5 billion. The Bank satisfies its retained earnings requirement with both restricted retained earnings (i.e., amounts related to the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement) and unrestricted retained earnings. The Bank’s retained earnings requirement may be changed at any time. The Board of Directors periodically reviews the retained earnings methodology and analysis to determine whether any adjustments are appropriate. Total restricted retained earnings ~~were $668 million and $647~~was $713 million as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018, respectively.~~2019.

The Bank will continue to monitor the condition of its balance sheet, its financial performance, its capital position, overall financial market conditions, and other relevant information as the basis for determining the payment of dividends in future quarters. On March 16, 2020, in light of market volatility, the Finance Agency extended the Bank’s ability to enter into LIBOR-indexed instruments that mature after December 31, 2021, from March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2020.

The ~~overall increase~~change in the unrealized gains on the hedged advances and advances carried at fair value from December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, to March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, was primarily attributable to the effects of changes in market interest rates, interest rate spreads, interest rate volatility, and other market factors relative to the terms on the Bank’s advances during the period.

Total liabilities were ~~$103.9~~$118.5 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, an increase of ~~$1.1~~$18.4 billion from ~~$102.8~~$100.1 billion at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, primarily reflecting ~~a $0.9~~an $18.3 billion increase in consolidated obligations outstanding to ~~$102.4~~$117.0 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$101.5~~$98.7 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

As provided by the FHLBank Act or regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations. The joint and several liability regulation authorizes the Finance Agency to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The Bank has never been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, and as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and through the filing date of this report, does not believe that it is probable that it will be asked to do so. The par value of the outstanding consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks was ~~$1,010.9~~$1,174.7 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$1,031.6~~$1,025.9 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Changes in the long-term credit ratings of individual FHLBanks do not necessarily affect the credit rating of the consolidated obligations issued on behalf of the FHLBanks. Rating agencies may change or withdraw a rating from time to time because of various factors, including operating results or actions taken, business developments, or changes in their opinion regarding, among other factors, the general outlook for a particular industry or the economy.

The Bank does not believe, as of the date of this report, that it is probable that the Bank will be required to repay any principal or interest associated with consolidated obligations for which the Bank is not the primary obligor.

Table of Contents

Certain Bank assets, liabilities, and derivatives are indexed to LIBOR. The Bank recognizes that the impending discontinuation of LIBOR presents risks and challenges that could have an impact on the Bank’s business. For information about the risks to the Bank from discontinuation of LIBOR, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Bank’s 2019 Form 10-K. Accordingly, the Bank has established the LIBOR Transition Working Group, led by the Chief Financial Officer, and developed a LIBOR Phase Out Transition Plan (Transition Plan). Among other things, the Transition Plan addresses three key strategies to mitigate the risks to the Bank associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR: (i) execute hedging strategies that permit alternative reference rates, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), (ii) transact SOFR-indexed advances and bonds, and (iii) where practicable, implement improved fallback provisions for the discontinuation of LIBOR in new and legacy contracts. In addition, the Transition Plan limits new LIBOR transactions with maturities beyond the end of 2021 consistent with the limits set by the Finance Agency’s Supervisory Letter issued on September 27, 2019. The Transition Plan states that the Bank’s Asset and Liability Management Committee has primary responsibility for driving the transition from LIBOR to SOFR and that the Bank’s Business Development Committee is responsible for advance product development to facilitate our members’ transition from LIBOR to an alternative index.

The tables below present LIBOR-indexed variable rate financial instruments by due date or termination date at March 31, 2020.

Segment Information

The Bank uses an analysis of financial results based on the financial components and adjusted net interest income of two operating segments, the advances-related business and the mortgage-related business, as well as other financial information, to review and assess financial performance and determine financial management strategies related to the operations of these two business segments. For purposes of segment reporting, adjusted net interest income includes income and expense associated with net settlements from economic hedges that are recorded in “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives and hedging activities” in other income, excludes interest income and expense associated with changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair value hedges that are recorded in net interest income, and excludes interest expense that is recorded in “Mandatorily redeemable capital stock.” Other key financial information, such as any credit-related OTTI losses on the Bank’s PLRMBS, other expenses, and assessments, is not included in the segment reporting analysis, but is incorporated into the Bank’s overall assessment of financial performance. For a reconciliation of the Bank’s operating segment adjusted net interest income to the Bank’s total net interest income, see “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 1410 – Segment Information.”

Advances-Related Business. The advances-related business consists of advances and other credit products, related financing and hedging instruments, liquidity and other non-MBS investments associated with the Bank’s role as a liquidity provider, and capital. Assets associated with this segment increased ~~$0.3~~$18.2 billion to ~~$88.6~~$103.9 billion (83% of total assets) at March 31, 2020, from $85.7 billion (80% of total assets) at ~~March 31, 2019, from $88.3 billion (81% of total assets) at~~ December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Adjusted net interest income for this segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the yield on advances and non-MBS investments and the cost of the consolidated obligations funding these assets, including the net settlements from associated interest rate exchange agreements, and from earnings attributed to the Bank’s capital stock and retained earnings.

Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $63 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $23 million, or 27%, compared to $86 million in the first quarter of ~~2019, an increase of $8 million, or 10%, compared to $78 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase~~2019. This decrease was primarily due to ~~an improvement~~a decline in spreads onin advances-related assets ~~partially offset by~~due to lower ~~advances balances.~~rates.

Adjusted net interest income for this segment represented ~~56%~~84% and ~~51%~~56% of total adjusted net interest income for the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

Advances – The par value of advances outstanding ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$3.3~~$11.8 billion, or 4%18%, to ~~$70.2~~$76.9 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$73.5~~$65.1 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Average advances ~~outstanding~~ were ~~$75.4~~$67.0 billion infor the first quarter of ~~2019, a 15%~~2020, an 11% decrease from ~~$89.1~~$75.4 billion infor the first quarter of ~~2018.~~2019. Outstanding balances of advances may significantly increase and decrease from period to period because of a member’s liquidity and financial strategies.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, ~~2019, and December 31, 2018,~~2020, advances outstanding to the Bank’s top five borrowers and their affiliates ~~were $45.8 billion. Advances~~increased by $3.2 billion, and advances outstanding to the Bank’s other borrowers ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$3.3~~$8.6 billion. Advances to the top five borrowers increased to $47.4 billion at March 31, 2020, from $44.2 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. (See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 74 – Advances – Credit and Concentration Risk” for further information.)

The Bank has a significant long-term funding arrangement with ~~a member~~one of the top five borrowers that contributes to the level of outstanding advances, and prepayments or repayments of advances or any changes to this arrangement could have a significant adverse impact on the Bank’s level of advances. Any prepayments or termination of this arrangement may result in prepayment fees or a termination fee. It is possible that our advances may increase or decrease to the extent our members elect to use alternative funding resources.

The ~~$3.3~~$11.8 billion ~~decrease~~increase in advances outstanding ~~primarily~~ reflected a ~~$2.9~~$13.4 billion ~~decrease~~increase in fixed rate advances and a ~~$1.2~~$0.4 billion ~~decrease~~increase in ~~variable~~adjustable rate advances, partially offset by a ~~$0.8~~$2.0 billion ~~increase~~decrease in ~~adjustable~~variable rate advances. In 2019, the Bank began to offer SOFR-indexed advances to its members.

Partial prepayment symmetry (PPS) and full prepayment symmetry (FPS) are product features under which the Bank may charge the borrower a prepayment fee or pay the borrower a prepayment credit, depending on certain circumstances, such as movements in interest rates, when the advance is prepaid. Any prepayment credit on an advance with PPS would be limited to the lesser of 10% of the par value of the advance or the gain recognized on the termination of the associated interest rate swap, which may also include a similar contractual gain limitation.

~~Table of Contents~~

To meet the specific needs of certain investors, fixed and adjustable rate consolidated obligation bonds may contain embedded call options or other features that result in complex coupon payment terms. When these consolidated obligation bonds are issued on behalf of the Bank, typically the Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate exchange agreements with features that offset the complex features of the bonds and, in effect, convert the bonds to adjustable rate instruments. For example, the Bank uses fixed rate callable bonds that are typically offset with interest rate exchange agreements with call features that offset the call options embedded in the callable bonds. ~~This combined financing structure enables the Bank to meet its funding needs at costs not generally attainable solely through the issuance of comparable term non-callable debt.~~

At March 31, 2020, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled $104.1 billion, of which $49.0 billion were hedging advances, $42.9 billion were hedging consolidated obligations, $9.4 billion were economically hedging non-MBS investments, and $2.8 billion were offsetting derivatives. At December 31, 2019, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled ~~$82.9~~$84.4 billion, of which ~~$35.6~~$41.2 billion were hedging advances, ~~$46.8~~$36.2 billion were hedging consolidated obligations, ~~and $0.5~~$7.0 billion were economically hedging trading ~~securities. At December 31, 2018, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled $89.4 billion, of which $39.3 billion~~securities, and $40 million were ~~hedging advances, $49.6 billion were hedging consolidated obligations, and $0.5 billion were economically hedging trading securities.~~offsetting derivatives. The hedges associated with advances and consolidated obligations were primarily used to convert the fixed rate cash flows of the advances and consolidated obligations to adjustable rate cash flows or to manage the interest rate sensitivity and net repricing gaps of assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements.

FHLBank System consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes, along with similar debt securities issued by other GSEs such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are generally referred to as agency debt. The costs of debt issued by the FHLBanks and the other GSEs generally rise and fall with increases and decreases in general market interest rates.

In early March 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that the COVID-19 outbreak poses evolving risks to economic activity and decided to lower the target range for the Federal funds rate by 50 basis points, to a target range of 1.00% to 1.25%, noting that it would closely monitor developments and their implications for the economic outlook and would act as appropriate to support the economy. On March 15, 2020, the FOMC again lowered the Federal funds rate, to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%, noting that the COVID-19 outbreak had harmed communities and disrupted economic activity in many countries, including the United States, and had significantly affected global financial conditions. In the weeks before and after the early March cut by the

FOMC in the Federal funds target rate, interest rates declined significantly. Generally, investor demand for high credit quality, fixed income investments, including the Bank’s consolidated obligations, increased relative to other investments, and the Bank continued to meet its funding needs during this time. However, the spreads on the Bank’s consolidated obligations relative to U.S. Treasury securities widened and fixed income market conditions became more challenging, with market participants favoring shorter-term obligations. During March 2020, the Bank experienced increased demand for advances and maintained its liquidity investments in compliance with Finance Agency guidance. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information on potential risks to the Bank, including from pandemics such as COVID-19. The following table presents a comparison of selected market interest rates as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, 2018. The Federal Reserve target rate for overnight Federal funds has not changed since the prior yearend. As of March 31, 2019, rates on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, 3-month LIBOR, 2-year U.S. Treasury notes, and 5-year U.S. Treasury notes declined, while the rate on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills increased compared with the prior yearend.

Mortgage-Related Business. The mortgage-related business consists of MBS investments, mortgage loans acquired through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program, and the related financing and hedging instruments. (“Mortgage Partnership Finance,” “MPF,” and “MPF Xtra” are registered trademarks of the FHLBank of Chicago.) Adjusted net interest income for this segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the yield on the MBS investments and mortgage loans and the cost of the consolidated obligations funding those assets, including the net settlements from associated interest rate exchange agreements.

~~At March 31, 2019, assets~~Assets associated with this segment were ~~$22.0~~$21.0 billion ~~(20%~~(17% of total assets)~~, an increase of $0.9 billion from~~ at March 31, 2020, and $21.1 billion at December 31, ~~2018 (19%~~2019 (20% of total assets).

Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $12 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $56 million, or 82%, from $68 million in the first quarter of ~~2019, a decrease of $7 million, or 9%, from $75 million in the first quarter of 2018.~~2019. The decrease in adjusted net interest income was due to lower

spreads on mortgage-related assets, primarily caused by lower spreads on new MBS investments, higher premium amortization expense, and lower ~~accretion-related income,~~balances of MBS investments, which more than offset the impact of higher ~~average balances of MBS investments and mortgage loans.~~accretion-related income. Additionally, the Bank recorded a $39 million provision for credit losses on the Bank’s PLRMBS investments.

Adjusted net interest income for this segment represented ~~44%~~16% and ~~49%~~44% of total adjusted net interest income for the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

MBS Investments – The Bank’s MBS portfolio was ~~$18.8~~$17.7 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~$17.9~~$17.8 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

MPF Program – Under the MPF Program, the Bank may purchase from members, for its own portfolio, conventional conforming fixed rate mortgage loans under the MPF Original product and mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under the MPF Government product. In addition, the Bank may facilitate the purchase of conforming fixed rate mortgage loans from members for concurrent sale to Fannie Mae under the MPF Xtra product; of jumbo fixed rate mortgage loans for concurrent sale to Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary of Redwood Trust, Inc., a real estate investment trust, under the MPF Direct product; and of government-insured or government-guaranteed mortgage loans that will be packaged into securities backed by the mortgage loans and guaranteed by Ginnie Mae under the MPF Government MBS product. When members sell mortgage loans under the MPF Xtra, MPF Direct, and MPF Government MBS products, the loans are sold to a third-party investor and are not recorded on the Bank’s Statements of Condition.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, all mortgage loans purchased by the Bank under the MPF Program were qualifying conventional conforming fixed rate, first lien mortgage loans with fully amortizing loan terms of up to 30 years. A conventional loan is one that is not insured by the federal government or any of its agencies. Conforming loan size, which is established annually as required by Finance Agency regulations, may not exceed the loan limits set by the Finance Agency each year. All MPF loans are secured by owner-occupied, one- to four-unit residential properties or single-unit second homes. The Bank purchased ~~$174~~$278 million in eligible loans under the MPF Original product during ~~2019.~~

Interest Rate Exchange Agreements

A derivative transaction or interest rate exchange agreement is a financial contract whose fair value is generally derived from changes in the value of an underlying asset or liability. The Bank uses interest rate swaps; interest rate cap and floor agreements; and callable and putable interest rate swaps (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements) to manage its exposure to market risks inherent in its ordinary course of business, including its lending, investment, and funding activities. For more information on the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements by type of hedged item, hedging instrument, associated hedging strategy, accounting designation as specified under the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and notional amount, and the primary strategies that the Bank employs for using interest rate exchange agreements and the associated market risks, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Market Risk – Interest Rate Exchange Agreements” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements by type of hedged item, hedging instrument, associated hedging strategy, accounting designation as specified under the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and notional amount as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank’s financial strategies are designed to enable the Bank to ~~safely~~ expand and contract its assets, liabilities, and capital as membership composition and member credit needs change. The Bank’s liquidity and capital resources are designed to support its financial strategies. The Bank’s primary source of liquidity is its access to the debt capital markets through consolidated obligation issuance. The maintenance of the Bank’s capital resources is governed by its capital plan.

Liquidity

The Bank strives to maintain the liquidity necessary to repay maturing consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor, meet other obligations and commitments, and meet expected and unexpected member credit demands. The Bank monitors its financial position ~~in order~~ to maintain ready access to available funds to meet normal transaction requirements, take advantage of appropriate investment opportunities, and manage unforeseen liquidity demands.

The Bank generally manages operational, contingent, and refinancing risks using a portfolio of cash and short-term investments and access to the debt capital markets. In addition, the Bank maintains alternate sources of funds, detailed in its contingent ~~funding~~liquidity plan, which also includes an explanation of how sources of funds may be allocated under stressed market conditions, such as short-term operational disruptions at the Bank or the Office of Finance or short-term disruptions in the debt capital markets. The Bank maintains cash deposits, short-term and high-quality money market investments, and government and agency securities in amounts that may average up to three times the Bank’s capital as a primary source of funds to satisfy these requirements and objectives.

The Bank has a regulatory contingent liquidity requirement to maintain at least 5 business days of liquidity to enable it to meet its obligations without issuance of new consolidated obligations. In addition, the Finance Agency has established base case liquidity guidelines that each FHLBank maintain sufficient ~~on-balance sheet~~ liquidity at

~~Table of Contents~~

least equal to its anticipated cash outflows, assuming no new consolidated obligation issuance, renewal of all maturing advances, a specified percentage ofdrawdown on letters of credit ~~as a use of funds,~~balances, and certain Treasury investments as a source of funds. The Finance Agency’s guidance provides that base case liquidity should generally be maintained for 10 to 30 days. ~~In addition,~~The Bank actively monitors and manages refinancing risk. Finance Agency guidance

specifies tolerance levels related to the size of each FHLBank’s funding gaps to measure refinancing risk as the difference between assets and liabilities that are scheduled to mature during a specified period, expressed as a percentage of total assets. The guidance limits three-month and one-year funding gaps generally between the range of –10% to –20% and –25% to –35%, respectively. Funding gaps are measured at monthend, using the average ratio for the three most recent monthends.

In addition to ~~the regulatory contingent liquidity requirement and~~ the Finance Agency’s guidelines on contingent liquidity, the Bank models its cash commitments and expected cash flows on a daily basis to determine its projected liquidity position. If a market or operational disruption occurred that prevented the issuance of new consolidated obligations, the Bank could meet its obligations by: (i) allowing short-term liquid investments to mature, (ii) using eligible securities as collateral for repurchase agreement borrowings, and (iii) if necessary, allowing advances to mature without renewal. In addition, the Bank may be able to borrow on a short-term unsecured basis from other financial institutions (Federal funds purchased) or other FHLBanks (inter-FHLBank borrowings).

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Bank held total sources of funds in an amount that would have allowed the Bank to meet its liquidity needs ~~for more than five consecutive business days~~ without issuing new consolidated obligations ~~subject to certain conditions.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The FHLBank Act and Finance Agency regulations specify that each FHLBank must meet certain minimum regulatory capital standards. The Bank must maintain: (i) total regulatory capital in an amount equal to at least 4% of its total assets, (ii) leverage capital in an amount equal to at least 5% of its total assets, and (iii) permanent capital in an amount that is greater than or equal to its risk-based capital requirement. Because the Bank issues only Class B stock, regulatory capital and permanent capital for the Bank are both composed of retained earnings and Class B stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock (which is classified as a liability for financial reporting purposes). Regulatory capital and permanent capital do not include AOCI. Leverage capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted by a 1.5 multiplier plus non-permanent capital. The risk-based capital requirement is equal to the sum of the Bank’s credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements, all of which are calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.

The following table shows the Bank’s compliance with the Finance Agency’s capital requirements at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The Bank’s risk-based capital requirement decreased to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2020, from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019.

Risk Management

The Bank has an integrated corporate governance and internal control framework designed to support effective management of the Bank’s business activities and the risks inherent in these activities. As part of this framework, the ~~Bank’s~~Bank��s Board of Directors has adopted a Risk Governance Policy that outlines the key roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors and management and sets forth how the Bank is organized to achieve its risk management objectives, including the implementation of the Bank’s strategic objectives, risk management strategies, corporate governance, and standards of conduct. The policy also establishes the Bank’s risk governance organizational structure and identifies the general roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors and management in establishing risk management policies, procedures, and guidelines; in overseeing the enterprise risk profile; and in implementing enterprise risk management processes and business strategies. The policy establishes an independent risk oversight function to identify, assess, measure, monitor, and report on the enterprise risk profile and risk management capabilities of the Bank. For more information, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K.

Advances. The Bank manages the credit risk of advances and other credit products by setting the credit and collateral terms available to individual members and housing associates based on their creditworthiness and on the quality and value of the assets they pledge as collateral. The Bank also has procedures to assess the mortgage loan quality and documentation standards of institutions that pledge mortgage loan collateral. In addition, the Bank has collateral policies and restricted lending procedures in place to help manage its exposure to institutions that experience difficulty in meeting their capital requirements or other standards of creditworthiness. These credit and collateral policies balance the Bank’s dual goals of meeting the needs of members and housing associates as a reliable source of liquidity and mitigating credit risk by adjusting credit and collateral terms in view of deterioration in creditworthiness. The Bank has never experienced a credit loss on an advance.

Pursuant to the Bank’s lending agreements with its borrowers, the Bank limits extensions of credit to individual borrowers to a percentage of the market value or unpaid principal balance of the borrower’s pledged collateral, known as the borrowing capacity, which the Bank can change from time to time. The borrowing capacity percentage varies according to several factors, including the charter type of the institution, the collateral type, the value assigned to the collateral, the results of the Bank’s collateral field review of the borrower’s collateral, the pledging method used for loan collateral (specific identification or blanket lien), the amount of loan data provided (detailed or summary reporting), the data reporting frequency (monthly or quarterly), the borrower’s financial strength and condition, and any institution-specific collateral risks. Under the terms of the Bank’s lending agreements, the aggregate borrowing capacity of a borrower’s pledged eligible collateral must meet or exceed the total amount of the borrower’s outstanding advances, other extensions of credit, and certain other borrower obligations and liabilities. ~~The Bank monitors each borrower’s aggregate borrowing capacity and collateral requirements on a daily basis by comparing the institution’s borrowing capacity to its obligations to the Bank.~~

In addition, the total amount of advances made available to each member or housing associate may be limited by the financing availability assigned by the Bank, which is generally expressed as a percentage of the member’s or housing associate’s assets, which the Bank can change from time to time. The amount of financing availability is generally determined by the creditworthiness of the member or housing associate.

When a nonmember financial institution acquires some or all of the assets and liabilities of a member, including outstanding advances and Bank capital stock, the Bank may allow the advances to remain outstanding, at its discretion. The nonmember borrower is required to meet the Bank’s applicable credit, collateral, and capital stock requirements, including requirements regarding creditworthiness and collateral borrowing capacity.

(1)	Includes advances, letters of credit, the market value of swaps, estimated prepayment fees for certain borrowers, and the credit enhancement obligation on MPF loans.


(2)	Collateral borrowing capacity does not represent any commitment to lend on the part of the Bank.

Based on the collateral pledged as security for advances, the Bank’s credit analyses of borrowers’ financial condition, and the Bank’s credit extension and collateral policies, the Bank expects to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the advances. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses on advances is deemed necessary by the Bank. The Bank has never experienced any credit losses on advances.

Securities pledged as collateral are assigned borrowing capacities that reflect the securities’ ~~pricing volatility~~market valuations and market ~~liquidity~~liquidation risks. Securities are delivered to the Bank’s custodian when they are pledged. The Bank prices securities collateral on a daily basis or twice a month, depending on the availability and reliability of external pricing sources. Securities that are normally priced twice a month may be priced more frequently in volatile market conditions. The Bank benchmarks the borrowing capacities for securities collateral to the market on a periodic basis and may review and change the borrowing capacity for any security type at any time. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing capacities assigned to U.S. Treasury and agency securities ranged from 80% to 99% of their market value. The borrowing capacities assigned to private-label MBS, which must be rated AAA or AA when initially pledged, generally ranged from 65% to 90% of their market value, depending on the underlying collateral (residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, or commercial real estate loans), the rating, and the subordination structure of the respective securities.

With respect to loan collateral, most borrowers may choose to pledge loan collateral by specific identification or under a blanket lien. Insurance companies, CDFIs, and housing associates are required to pledge loan collateral by specific identification with monthly reporting. All other borrowers pledging by specific identification must provide a detailed listing of all the loans pledged to the Bank on a monthly basis. ~~With a blanket lien, a borrower generally pledges the following loan types, whether or not the individual loans are eligible to receive borrowing capacity: all~~

~~Table of Contents~~

loans secured by real estate; all loans made for commercial, corporate, or business purposes; and all participations in these loans. Borrowers pledging under a blanket lien may provide a detailed listing of loans or may use a summary reporting method.

The Bank may require certain borrowers to deliver pledged loan collateral to the Bank for one or more reasons, including the following: the borrower is a de novo institution (chartered within the last three years), an insurance company, a CDFI, or a housing associate; the Bank is concerned about the borrower’s creditworthiness; or the Bank is concerned about the maintenance of its collateral or the priority of its security interest. ~~With the exception of insurance companies, CDFIs, and housing associates, borrowers required to deliver loan collateral must pledge those loans under a blanket lien with detailed reporting.~~

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, of the loan collateral pledged to the Bank, ~~22%~~23% was pledged by 2827 institutions by specific identification, ~~53%~~50% was pledged by ~~116~~115 institutions under a blanket lien with detailed reporting, and ~~25%~~27% was pledged by ~~128~~130 institutions under a blanket lien with summary reporting. For each borrower that pledges loan collateral, the Bank conducts loan collateral field reviews once every six months or every one, two, or three years, depending on the risk profile of the borrower and the types of collateral pledged by the borrower.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Bank’s maximum borrowing capacities as a percentage of the assigned market value of mortgage loan collateral pledged under a blanket lien with detailed reporting were as follows: ~~90%~~85% for first lien residential mortgage loans, ~~88%~~83% for multifamily mortgage loans, ~~88%~~83% for commercial mortgage loans, and ~~77%~~67% for second lien residential mortgage loans. The maximum borrowing capacity for small business, small agribusiness, and small farm loans was ~~50%~~25% of the unpaid principal balance, although most of these loans are pledged under blanket lien with summary reporting, with a maximum borrowing capacity of 25%. The highest borrowing capacities are available to borrowers that pledge under a blanket lien with detailed reporting because the detailed loan information allows the Bank to assess the value of the collateral more precisely and because additional collateral is pledged under the blanket lien that may not receive borrowing capacity but may be liquidated to repay advances in the event of default. The Bank may review and change the maximum borrowing capacity for any type of loan collateral at any time.

The table below presents the mortgage loan collateral pledged by all members and by nonmembers with credit outstanding at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

(1)	The unpaid principal balance for loan participations is 100% of the outstanding loan amount. The borrowing capacity for loan participations is based on the participated amount pledged to the Bank.

The Bank holds a security interest in subprime residential mortgage loans pledged as collateral. Subprime loans are defined as loans with a borrower FICO score of 660 or less at origination, or if the original FICO score is not available, as loans with a current borrower FICO score of 660 or less. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the unpaid principal balance of these loans totaled $7$6 billion and $8$6 billion, respectively. The Bank reviews and assigns borrowing capacities to subprime mortgage loans as it does for all other types of loan collateral, taking into account the known credit attributes in the pricing of the loans. All advances, including those made to borrowers

~~Table of Contents~~

pledging subprime mortgage loans, are required to be fully collateralized. The Bank limits the amount of borrowing capacity that may be supported by subprime collateral.

Investments. The Bank has adopted credit policies and exposure limits for investments that promote risk limitation, diversification, and liquidity. These policies determine eligible counterparties and restrict the amounts and terms of the Bank’s investments with any given counterparty according to the Bank’s own capital position as well as the capital and creditworthiness of the counterparty.

The Bank monitors its investments for substantive changes in relevant market conditions and any declines in fair value. For securities in an unrealized loss position because of factors other than movements in interest rates, such as widening of mortgage asset spreads, the Bank considers whether it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security by comparing the ~~best estimate~~expectations of the present value of the cash flows ~~expected~~ to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the Bank’s ~~best estimate~~expectations of the present value of the cash flows ~~expected~~ to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, the difference is considered the credit loss.

Table of Contents

When the fair value of an individual investment security falls below its amortized cost, the Bank evaluates whether an allowance for credit losses is necessary on the ~~decline is other than temporary.~~security. The Bank recognizes an ~~OTTI~~allowance for credit losses when it determines that it will be unable to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security and the fair value of the investment security is less than its amortized cost. The Bank considers its intent to hold the security and whether it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery of the remaining cost basis, and other factors. The Bank generally views changes in the fair value of the securities caused by movements in interest rates to be temporary.

The following tables present the Bank’s investment credit exposure at the dates indicated, based on the lowest of the long-term credit ratings provided by Moody’s, S&P, or ~~comparable~~ Fitch Ratings (Fitch) ratings.

(1)	Credit ratings of BB and lower are below investment grade.


(2)	The Bank has one security guaranteed by Fannie Mae but rated DBB at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, by S&P because of extraordinary expenses incurred during bankruptcy of the security's sponsor.


(3)	Includes $141 million ~~and $141 million~~ at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018, respectively,~~2019, in Federal funds sold to a member counterparty determined by the Bank to have an internal credit rating equivalent to an AA rating.

For all securities in its AFS and HTM portfolios, for Federal funds sold, and for securities purchased under agreements to resell, the Bank does not intend to sell any security and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell any security before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

The Bank invests in short-term unsecured interest-bearing deposits, short-term unsecured Federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and negotiable certificates of deposit with member and nonmember counterparties, all of which are highly rated.

The Bank actively monitors its credit exposures and the credit quality of its counterparties, including an assessment of each counterparty’s financial performance, capital adequacy, likelihood of parental or sovereign support, and the current market perceptions of the counterparties. The Bank may also consider general macroeconomic and market conditions and political stability when establishing limits on unsecured investments with U.S. branches and agency

offices of foreign commercial banks. As a result of deteriorating financial condition or concerns about adverse economic or market developments, the Bank may reduce limits or terms on unsecured investments or suspend a counterparty.

Table of Contents

Finance Agency regulations limit the amount of unsecured credit that an individual FHLBank may extend to a single counterparty. This limit is calculated with reference to a percentage of either the FHLBank’s or the counterparty’s capital and to the counterparty’s overall credit rating. Under these regulations, the lesser of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital or the counterparty’s Tier 1 capital is multiplied by a percentage specified in the regulation. The percentages used to determine the maximum amount of term extensions of unsecured credit range from 1% to 15%, depending on the counterparty’s overall credit rating. Term extensions of unsecured credit include on-balance sheet transactions, off-balance sheet commitments, and derivative transactions, but exclude overnight Federal funds sales, even if subject to a continuing contract. (See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Derivative Counterparties” for additional information related to derivatives exposure.)

Finance Agency regulations also permit the FHLBanks to extend additional unsecured credit to the same single counterparty for overnight sales of Federal funds, even if subject to a continuing contract. However, an FHLBank’s total unsecured credit to a single counterparty (total term plus additional overnight Federal funds unsecured credit) may not exceed twice the regulatory limit for term exposures (2% to 30% of the lesser of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital or the counterparty’s Tier 1 capital, based on the counterparty’s overall credit rating). In addition, the FHLBanks are prohibited by Finance Agency regulation from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks.

Under Finance Agency regulations, the total amount of unsecured credit that an FHLBank may extend to a group of affiliated counterparties for term extensions of unsecured credit and overnight Federal funds sales, combined, may not exceed 30% of the FHLBank’s total capital. These limits on affiliated counterparty groups are in addition to the limits on extensions of unsecured credit applicable to any single counterparty within the affiliated group.

The Bank’s investments may also include housing finance agency bonds issued by housing finance agencies located in Arizona, California, and Nevada, the three states that make up the Bank’s district. These bonds are federally taxable mortgage revenue bonds, collateralized by pools of first lien residential mortgage loans and credit-enhanced by bond insurance. The bonds held by the Bank are issued by the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) and insured by either National Public Financial Guarantee (formerly MBIA Insurance Corporation), or Assured Guaranty Municipal Corporation (formerly Financial Security Assurance Incorporated). At March 31, 2019, all of the bonds were rated at least A by Moody’s or S&P.

For the Bank’s investments in housing finance agency bonds, which were issued by CalHFA, the gross unrealized losses were mainly due to an illiquid market, credit concerns regarding the underlying mortgage collateral, and credit concerns regarding the monoline insurance providers, causing these investments to be valued at a discount to their acquisition cost. The Bank independently modeled cash flows for the underlying collateral, using assumptions for default rates and loss severity that a market participant would deem reasonable, and concluded that the available credit support within the CalHFA structure more than offset the projected underlying collateral losses. The Bank determined that, as of March 31, 2019, all of the gross unrealized losses on the CalHFA bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements were sufficient to protect the Bank from losses. As a result, the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions deteriorate, the fair value of the CalHFA bonds may decline further and the Bank may experience OTTI in future periods.

The Bank’s MBS investments include PLRMBS, all of which were AAA-rated at the time of purchase, and agency residential MBS, which are backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. Some of the PLRMBS were issued by and/or purchased from members, former members, or their affiliates. The Bank has investment credit limits and terms for these investments that do not differ for members and nonmembers. Regulatory policy limits total MBS investments to three times the Bank’s regulatory capital at the time of purchase. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Bank’s MBS portfolio was ~~280%~~267% of Bank regulatory capital (as determined in accordance with regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks). The Bank has not purchased any PLRMBS since the first quarter of 2008.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Bank executes all MBS investments without preference to the status of the counterparty or the issuer of the investment as a nonmember, member, or affiliate of a member. When the Bank executes non-MBS investments with members, the Bank may give consideration to their secured credit availability and the Bank’s advances price levels.

At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, PLRMBS representing ~~15%~~12% of the amortized cost of the Bank’s MBS portfolio were labeled Alt-A by the issuer. These PLRMBS are generally collateralized by mortgage loans that are considered less risky than subprime loans but more risky than prime loans. These loans are generally made to borrowers with credit scores that are high enough to qualify for a prime mortgage loan, but the loans may not meet standard underwriting guidelines for documentation requirements, property type, or loan-to-value ratios.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Bank’s investment in MBS had gross unrealized losses totaling ~~$72~~$380 million, ~~$26~~$98 million of which were related to PLRMBS. These gross unrealized losses were primarily due to illiquidity in the MBS market and market expectations of the credit performance of loan collateral underlying these securities, which caused these assets to be valued at discounts to their amortized cost.

government is sufficient to protect the Bank from losses. As a result, the Bank determined that, as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, all of the gross unrealized losses on its agency MBS are temporary.

To assess whether it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of its PLRMBS, the Bank performed a cash flow analysis for all of its PLRMBS as of March 31, 2019, using two third-party models. The FHLBanks’ OTTI Committee developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 6.0% to an increase of 14.0% over the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2019. For the vast majority of markets, the projected short-term housing price changes range from an increase of 2.0% to an increase of 6.0%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.

The projected cash flows are based on a number of assumptions and expectations, and the results of these models can vary significantly with changes in assumptions and expectations. The scenario of cash flows determined reflects a best-estimate scenario and includes a base case housing price forecast that reflects the expectations for near- and long-term housing price behavior.

In addition to evaluating its PLRMBS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario, the Bank performed a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more adverse housing price scenario. This more adverse scenario was primarily based on a short-term housing price forecast that was five percentage points below the base case forecast, followed by a recovery path with annual rates of housing price growth that were 33.0% lower than the base case.

~~The following table shows the base case scenario and what the credit-related OTTI loss would have been under the more adverse housing price scenario at March 31, 2019:~~

For the Bank’s PLRMBS, the following table shows the amortized cost, estimated fair value, credit- and non-credit-related OTTI, performance of the underlying collateral based on the classification at the time of origination, and credit enhancement statistics by type of collateral and year of securitization. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will absorb losses before the Bank will experience a loss on the security, expressed as a percentage of the underlying collateral balance. The credit enhancement figures include the additional credit enhancement required by the Bank (above the amounts required for an AAA rating by the credit rating agencies) for selected securities starting in late 2004, and for all securities starting in late 2005. The calculated weighted averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the PLRMBS in each category shown. The classification (prime or Alt-A) is based on the model used to run the estimated cash flows for the security, which may not necessarily be the same as the classification at the time of origination.

Credit enhancement is defined as the subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before the Bank will experience a loss on the security, expressed as a percentage of the underlying collateral balance. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the PLRMBS investments in each category shown. The classification (prime or Alt-A) is based on the model used to run the estimated cash flows for the security, which may not necessarily be the same as the classification at the time of origination.

The Bank determined that, as of March 31, 2019, the gross unrealized losses on the PLRMBS that have not had an OTTI loss are primarily due to illiquidity in the PLRMBS market and market expectations of the credit performance of loan collateral underlying these securities, which caused these assets to be valued at discounts to their amortized cost. The Bank does not intend to sell these securities, it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis, and the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As a result, the Bank determined that, as of March 31, 2019, all of the gross unrealized losses on these securities are temporary. The Bank will continue to monitor and analyze the performance of these securities to assess the likelihood of the recovery of the entire amortized cost basis of these securities as of each balance sheet date.

If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions deteriorate, the fair value of MBS may decline further, and the Bank may experience ~~OTTI of~~credit losses on additional PLRMBS in future periods, as well as further impairment of PLRMBS that were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired ~~as of March 31, 2019.~~prior to January 1, 2020. Additional ~~future credit-related OTTI~~credit losses could adversely affect the Bank’s earnings and retained earnings and its ability to pay dividends and repurchase capital stock. The Bank cannot predict whether it will be required to record ~~additional credit-related OTTI~~an allowance for credit losses on its PLRMBS in the future.

The Bank has exposure to investment securities with interest rates indexed to LIBOR. The table below presents the unpaid principal balance of adjustable rate investment securities by interest rate index at March 31, 2020. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition” for more information on the LIBOR transition and on SOFR as an alternative market benchmark.

Derivative Counterparties. The Bank has ~~also~~ adopted credit policies and exposure limits for uncleared derivatives credit exposure. Over-the-counter derivatives may be either entered into directly with a counterparty (uncleared derivatives) or executed either with an executing dealer or on a swap execution facility and then cleared through a futures commission merchant (clearing agent) with a derivatives clearing organization (cleared derivatives).

Uncleared Derivatives. The Bank selects only highly rated derivative dealers and major banks (derivative dealer counterparties) that meet the Bank’s eligibility criteria to act as counterparties for its uncleared derivative activities. In addition, for all uncleared derivative transactions, the Bank has entered into master netting agreements and bilateral credit support agreements with all active derivative dealer counterparties that provide for delivery of

~~Table of Contents~~

collateral at specified levels to limit the Bank’s net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties. Under these policies and agreements, the amount of unsecured credit exposure to an individual derivative dealer counterparty is set at zero (subject to a minimum transfer amount).

The Bank is subject to the risk of potential nonperformance by the counterparties to derivative agreements. A counterparty generally must deliver collateral to the Bank if the total market value of the Bank’s exposure to that counterparty rises above a specific trigger point. Currently, all of the Bank’s active uncleared derivative counterparties have a zero threshold. As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, the Bank does not anticipate any credit losses on its uncleared derivative transactions with counterparties as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Cleared Derivatives. The Bank is subject to nonperformance by the derivatives clearing organizations (clearinghouses) and clearing agents. The requirement that the Bank post initial and variation margin through a clearing agent, to the clearinghouse, exposes the Bank to institutional credit risk in the event that the clearing agent or the clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives, however, mitigates the Bank’s overall credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties. Variation

The increase or decrease in the credit exposure net of cash collateral, from one period to the next, may be affected by changes in several variables, such as the size and composition of the portfolio, market values of derivatives, and accrued interest.

Based on the master netting arrangements, its credit analyses, and the collateral requirements in place with each counterparty, the Bank does not expect to incur any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

The Bank primarily executes derivatives indexed to the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) rate and SOFR to manage interest rate risk and monitors marketwide efforts to address fallback language related to LIBOR-indexed derivative transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions

Table of Contents

that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if applicable, and the reported amounts of income, expenses, gains, and losses during the reporting period. Changes in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions could potentially affect the Bank’s financial position and results of operations significantly. Although the Bank believes these judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ.

In the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K, the following accounting policies and estimates were identified as critical because they require the Bank to make subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies and estimates are: ~~estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advances and mortgage loan portfolios;~~ accounting for derivatives; estimating fair values of investments classified as trading and AFS, derivatives and associated hedged items carried at fair value in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and associated hedging activities, and financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value option; ~~accounting for other-than-temporary impairment for investment securities;~~ and estimating the prepayment speeds on MBS and mortgage loans for the accounting of amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and credit losses previously recorded prior to the adoption of new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on MBS and mortgage loans.

~~Table of Contents~~

There have been no significant changes in the judgments and assumptions made during the first three months of ~~2019~~2020 in applying the Bank’s critical accounting policies. These policies and the judgments, estimates, and assumptions are also described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K and in “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 1612 – Fair Value.”

Recent Developments

~~Final Rule on FHLBank~~Advisory Bulletin (AB) 2019-03 Capital ~~Requirements.~~Stock Management. On ~~February 20,~~August 14, 2019, the Finance Agency issued a final ~~rule, effective January 1,~~AB providing guidance that augments existing statutory and regulatory capital requirements to require each FHLBank to maintain a ratio of at least two percent of capital stock to total assets in order to help preserve the cooperative structure incentives that encourage members to remain fully engaged in the oversight of their investment in the FHLBank. Beginning in February 2020, ~~that adopts, with amendments, the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), predecessor to~~ the Finance Agency ~~pertaining~~will consider the proportion of capital stock to ~~the~~assets, measured on a daily average basis at monthend, when assessing each FHLBank’s capital requirements for the FHLBanks. The final rule carries over most of the prior Finance Board regulations without material change but substantively revises the credit risk component of the risk-based capital requirement, as well as the limitations on extensions of unsecured credit. The main revisions remove requirements that the Bank calculates credit risk capital charges and unsecured credit limits based on ratings issued by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), and instead require that the Bank establishes and uses the Bank’s own internal rating methodology. The rule imposes a new credit risk capital charge for cleared derivatives. The final rule also revises the percentages used in the regulation’s tables to calculate credit risk capital charges for advances and for non-mortgage assets. The final rule also rescinds certain contingency liquidity requirements that were part of the Finance Board regulations, as these requirements are now addressed in an Advisory Bulletin on FHLBank Liquidity Guidance issued by the Finance Agency in 2018.management practices.

The Bank does not expect the ~~rule will~~AB to have a material ~~effect~~impact on the Bank’s capital management practices, financial condition, or results of operations.

~~Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Final Rule on Reciprocal Deposits.~~Finance Agency Supervisory Letter. On ~~February 4,~~September 27, 2019, the ~~FDIC~~Finance Agency issued a ~~final rule, effective March 6, 2019, related~~Supervisory Letter to the ~~treatment~~FHLBanks that the Finance Agency stated is designed to ensure the FHLBanks will be able to identify and prudently manage the risks associated with the termination of ~~reciprocal deposits~~LIBOR in a safe and sound manner. The Supervisory Letter provides among other things that, ~~implements Section 202~~by March 31, 2020, the FHLBanks should limit and cease entering into new LIBOR-indexed financial assets, liabilities, and derivatives with maturities beyond December 31, 2021, for all product types except investments. With respect to investments, the FHLBanks must, by December 31, 2019, stop purchasing investments that reference LIBOR and mature after December 31, 2021. The Supervisory Letter also directs the FHLBanks to update their pledged collateral certification reporting requirements by March 31, 2020, in an effort to encourage members to distinguish LIBOR-indexed collateral maturing after December 31, 2021. The FHLBanks are expected to cease entering into LIBOR-indexed financial instruments maturing after December 31, 2021, by the deadlines specified in the Supervisory Letter, subject to limited exceptions granted by the Finance

Agency under the Supervisor Letter for LIBOR-indexed products serving compelling mission, risk mitigating, and/or hedging purposes that do not currently have readily available alternatives.

As a result of the ~~Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief,~~Supervisory Letter, the Bank’s Transition Plan was revised to limit new LIBOR transactions with maturities beyond the end of 2021 consistent with the limits set by the Supervisory Letter. On March 16, 2020, in light of market volatility, the Finance Agency extended the Bank’s ability to enter into LIBOR-indexed instruments that mature after December 31, 2021, from March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2020.

AB 2020-01 FHLBank Risk Management of AMA. On January 31, 2020, the Finance Agency released guidance on risk management of AMA. The guidance communicates the Finance Agency’s expectations with respect to an FHLBank’s funding of its members through the purchase of eligible mortgage loans and ~~Consumer Protection Act.~~includes expectations that an FHLBank will have Board-established limits on AMA portfolios and management-established thresholds to serve as monitoring tools to manage AMA-related risk exposure. The ~~final rule exempts,~~guidance provides that the board of an FHLBank should ensure that the bank serves as a liquidity source for ~~certain insured depository institutions (depositories), certain reciprocal deposits – deposits acquired~~members, and an FHLBank should ensure that its portfolio limits do not result in the FHLBank’s acquisition of mortgages from smaller members being “crowded out” by ~~a depository~~the acquisition of mortgages from larger members. The AB contains the expectation that the board of an FHLBank should set limits on the size and growth of portfolios and on acquisitions from a ~~network~~single participating financial institution. In addition, the guidance sets forth that the board of ~~participating depositories that enables depositors to receive FDIC insurance coverage for the entire amount~~an FHLBank should consider concentration risk of ~~their deposits – from being subject to FDIC restrictions on brokered deposits. Under the rule, well-capitalized~~geographic area, high-balance loans, and well-rated depositories are not required to treat reciprocal deposits as brokered deposits up to the lesser of 20% of their total liabilities or $5 billion. Reciprocal deposits held by depositories that are not well-capitalized and well-rated may also be excluded from brokered deposit treatment in certain circumstances.third-party loan originations.

The Bank continues to evaluate the potential impact of ~~the final rule,~~this AB but currently ~~does~~do not expect ~~the rule will have a material effect on the Bank’s~~it to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Finance Agency Final Rule on Stress Testing. On March 24, 2020, the Finance Agency issued a final rule, effective upon issuance, to amend its stress testing rule, consistent with section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (EGRRCPA). The final rule (i) raises the minimum threshold for entities regulated by the Finance Agency to conduct periodic stress tests from $10 billion to $250 billion or more in total consolidated assets, (ii) removes the requirements for FHLBanks to conduct stress testing, and (iii) removes the adverse scenario from the list of required scenarios. FHLBanks are currently excluded from this regulation because no FHLBank has total consolidated assets over $250 billion, but the Finance Agency reserved its discretion to require an FHLBank with total consolidated assets below the $250 billion threshold to conduct stress testing. These amendments align the Finance Agency’s stress testing rule with rules adopted by other financial institution regulators that implement the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing requirements, as amended by EGRRCPA.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act was passed by the Senate on March 25, 2020, and by the House on March 27, 2020, and the President signed it into law the same day. The $2.2 trillion package is the largest stimulus bill in U.S. history. The CARES Act is in addition to previous relief legislation passed by Congress in March 2020. The legislation provides the following:

Assistance to businesses, states, and municipalities.

Creates a loan program for small businesses, non-profits, and physician practices that can be forgiven through employee retention incentives.

Provides the Treasury Secretary authority to make loans or loan guarantees to states, municipalities, and eligible businesses and loosens some regulations imposed through the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).

Direct payments to some individual taxpayers and their children.

Expands eligibility for unemployment insurance and payment amounts.

Includes mortgage forbearance provisions and a foreclosure moratorium.

Additional phases of the CARES Act or other COVID-19 relief legislation may be enacted by Congress. The Bank is evaluating the potential impact of the CARES Act on its business, including its impact to the U.S. economy (which is unknown), the possible acceptance of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans as a new collateral source for the Bank’s advances, and impacts to mortgages held or serviced by the Bank’s members and that the Bank accepts as collateral.

Additional COVID-19 Legislative and Regulatory Developments. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Association, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Finance Agency, and state governments and agencies, have taken actions to provide various forms of relief from and guidance regarding the financial, operational, credit, market, and other effects of the pandemic, some of which may have a direct or indirect impact on the Bank and its members. Many of these actions are temporary in nature. The Bank is monitoring these actions and guidance and evaluating their potential impact on the Bank.

Finance Agency Supervisory Letter – Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans as Collateral for FHLBank Advances.On April 23, 2020, the Finance Agency issued a Supervisory Letter (PPP Supervisory Letter) permitting the FHLBanks to accept PPP loans as collateral for advances as agency securities, given the SBA’s 100% guarantee of the unpaid principal balance. On April 20, 2020, the SBA published its third interim final rule related to PPP loans, which explicitly waived certain regulatory requirements that must be satisfied before a member could ~~however, enhance depositories’ liquidity by increasing~~pledge PPP loans to the ~~attractiveness~~FHLBanks as collateral.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Commitments

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments

In accordance with regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, each FHLBank, including the Bank, is jointly and severally liable for the FHLBank System’s consolidated obligations issued under Section 11(a) of the FHLBank Act, and in accordance with the FHLBank Act, each FHLBank, including the Bank, is jointly and severally liable for consolidated obligations issued under Section 11(c) of the FHLBank Act. The joint and several liability regulation authorizes the Finance Agency to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor.

~~Table of Contents~~

The par value of the outstanding consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks was ~~$1,010.9~~$1,174.7 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$1,031.6~~$1,025.9 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The par value of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligations was ~~$102.5~~$117.1 billion at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$101.6~~$98.8 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The Bank had committed to the issuance of ~~$25~~$1,410 million and ~~$350~~$805 million in consolidated obligations at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Bank engages in financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not recorded on the Bank’s ~~Statement~~Statements of Condition or may be recorded on the Bank’s ~~Statement~~Statements of Condition in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transactions. For example, the Bank routinely enters into commitments to extend advances and issues standby letters of credit. These commitments and standby letters of credit may represent future cash requirements of the Bank, although the standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon. Standby letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting and collateral requirements as advances made by the Bank. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Bank had no$24 million in advance commitments and ~~$18.9~~$20.2 billion in standby letters of credit outstanding. At December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Bank had no advance commitments and ~~$18.1~~$21.6 billion in standby letters of credit outstanding.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is defined as the risk to the Bank’s market value of capital and future earnings (excluding the impact of any cumulative net gains or losses on derivatives and associated hedged items and on financial instruments carried at fair value) as a result of movements in market interest rates, interest rate spreads, interest rate volatility, and other market factors (market rate factors). This profile reflects the Bank’s objective of maintaining a conservative asset-liability mix and its commitment to providing value to its members through products and dividends without subjecting their investments in Bank capital stock to significant market risk.

The Bank’s Risk Management Policy includes a market risk management objective aimed at maintaining a relatively low adverse exposure of the market value of capital and future earnings (excluding the impact of any cumulative net gains or losses on derivatives and associated hedged items and on financial instruments carried at fair value) to changes in market rate factors. See “Total Bank Market Risk” below.

Market risk identification and measurement are primarily accomplished through market value of capital sensitivity analyses and projected earnings and adjusted return on capital sensitivity analyses. The Risk Management Policy approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors establishes market risk policy limits and market risk measurement standards at the total Bank level as well as at the business segment level. Additional guidelines approved by the Bank’s Enterprise Risk Committee apply to the Bank’s two business segments, the advances-related business and the mortgage-related business. These guidelines provide limits that are monitored at the segment level and are consistent with the Bank’s policy limits. Market risk is managed for each business segment on a daily basis, as discussed below in “Segment Market Risk.” Compliance with Bank policies and guidelines is reviewed by the Bank’s Board of Directors on a regular basis, along with a corrective action plan if applicable.

Total Bank Market Risk

Market Value of Capital Sensitivity

– The Bank uses market value of capital sensitivity (the interest rate sensitivity of the net fair value of all assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements) as an important measure of the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates.

The Bank’s market value of capital sensitivity policy limits the potential adverse impact of an instantaneous parallel shift of a plus or minus 100-basis-point change in interest rates from current rates (base case) to no worse than 4.0% of the estimated market value of capital. In addition, the policy limits the potential adverse impact of an instantaneous plus or minus 100-basis-point change in interest rates measured from interest rates that are 200 basis

~~Table of Contents~~

points above or below the base case to no worse than 6.0% of the estimated market value of capital. In the case where a market risk sensitivity compliance metric cannot be estimated with a parallel shift in interest rates because of prevailing low interest rates, the sensitivity metric is not reported. The Bank’s measured market value of capital sensitivity was within the policy limits as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

To determine the Bank’s estimated risk sensitivities to interest rates for the market value of capital sensitivity, the Bank uses a third-party proprietary asset and liability system to calculate estimated market values under alternative interest rate scenarios. The system analyzes all of the Bank’s financial instruments, including derivatives, on a transaction-level basis using sophisticated valuation models with consistent and appropriate behavioral assumptions and current position data. The system also includes a third-party mortgage prepayment model.

At least annually, the Bank reexamines the major assumptions and methodologies used in the model, including interest rate curves, spreads for discounting, and mortgage prepayment assumptions. The Bank also compares the mortgage prepayment assumptions in the third-party model to other sources, including actual mortgage prepayment history.

The table below presents the sensitivity of the market value of capital (the market value of all of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and associated interest rate exchange agreements, with mortgage assets valued using market spreads implied by current market prices) to changes in interest rates. The table presents the estimated percentage change in

The Bank’s estimates of the sensitivity of the market value of capital to changes in interest rates as of March 31, ~~2019, are comparable to~~2020, show considerably more positive sensitivity compared with the estimates as of December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. As a result of the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been significant changes in interest rates and spread relationships. LIBOR interest rates as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, were 21109 basis points lower for the ~~1-year~~one-year term, 29120 basis points lower for the ~~5-year~~five-year term, and 30117 basis points lower for the ~~10-year~~ten-year term. In March 2020, the ten-year Treasury hit an all-time low of 0.54%. In addition to the material changes in interest rates, price changes in two segments of the Bank’s mortgage portfolio materially impacted the Bank’s market value sensitivity profile. Prices on the Bank’s fixed rate mortgage loans purchased under the MPF Program increased, resulting in the asset spread relative to pricing benchmark to materially decline. The favorable spread change improves the market value of the Bank’s mortgage loans. If interest rates increase, these loans will remain outstanding for a longer period of time, and the favorable spread difference will exist for a longer period of time resulting in a less detrimental impact on the Bank’s projected market value. The Bank investment portfolio also includes fixed rate multifamily MBS that are swapped to overnight assets at time of trade. Given the prepayment protection provisions embedded in these securities, the MBS cashflows are consistent across alternative interest rate scenarios. For these securities, the asset spread to the pricing benchmark increased, which caused the decline in prices in rising rate scenarios to lessen. The change in the declining market value sensitivity profile is driven by the historically low interest rate environment. Given the significant decline in interest rates during the first quarter of 2020, interest rates on a subset of the Bank’s floating rate instruments cannot decrease to the same extent that interest rates in the rising rate scenarios can increase because of embedded interest rate floors.

The Bank’s Risk Management Policy provides guidelines for the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock based on the ratio of the Bank’s estimated market value of total capital to par value of capital stock. If this ratio at the end of any quarter is: (i) less than 100% but greater than or equal to 90%, any dividend would be limited to an annualized rate no greater than the daily average of the Federal funds effective rate for the applicable quarter (subject to certain conditions), and any excess capital stock repurchases would not exceed $500 million (subject to certain conditions); (ii) less than 90% but greater than or equal to 70%, any dividend and any excess capital stock repurchases would be subject to the same limitations and conditions as in (i) above, except that any excess capital stock repurchases would not exceed 4% of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock as of the repurchase date; and (iii) less than 70%, the Bank would not pay a dividend, not repurchase excess capital stock (but continue to redeem excess capital stock as provided in the Bank’s ~~Capital Plan)~~capital plan), limit the acquisition of certain assets, and review the Bank’s risk policies. A decision by the Board of Directors to declare or not declare any dividend or repurchase any excess capital stock is a discretionary matter and is subject to the requirements and restrictions of the FHLBank Act and applicable requirements under the regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks.

The ratio of the Bank’s estimated market value of total capital to par value of capital stock was ~~221%~~198% as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Adjusted Return on Capital – The adjusted return on capital is a measure used by the Bank to assess financial performance. The adjusted return on capital is based on current period economic earnings that exclude the effects of unrealized net gains or losses resulting from the Bank’s derivatives and associated hedged items and from financial instruments carried at fair value, which will generally reverse through changes in future valuations and settlements of contractual interest cash flows over the remaining contractual terms to maturity or by the call or put date of the assets and liabilities held under the fair value option, hedged assets and liabilities, and derivatives. Economic earnings also exclude the interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock and the 20% of net income allocated to the Bank’s restricted retained earnings account in accordance with the FHLBanks’ Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement. Economic earnings exclude these amounts in order to more accurately reflect the amount of earnings that may be available to be paid as dividends to shareholders.

The Bank limits the sensitivity of projected financial performance through a Board of Directors policy limit on projected adverse changes in the adjusted return on capital. The Bank’s adjusted return on capital sensitivity policy limits the potential adverse impact of an instantaneous parallel shift of a plus or minus 200-basis-point change in interest rates from current rates (base case) to no worse than –120 basis points from the base case projected adjusted return on capital. Given the current low interest rate environment, in the downward shift interest rates were limited to non-negative rates. With the indicated interest rate shifts, the adjusted return on capital for the projected 12-month horizon would be expected to decrease by 8517 basis points in the –200 ~~basis points~~basis-points scenario, ~~which is~~well within the policy limit of –120 basis points.

Duration Gap – Duration gap is the difference between the estimated durations (market value sensitivity) of assets and liabilities (including the impact of interest rate exchange agreements) and reflects the extent to which estimated maturity and repricing cash flows for assets and liabilities are matched. The Bank monitors duration gap analysis at the total Bank level and does not have a policy limit.

Segment Market Risk. The financial performance and interest rate risks of each business segment are managed within prescribed guidelines and policy limits.

Advances-Related Business – Interest rate risk arises from the advances-related business primarily through the use of shareholder-contributed capital and retained earnings to fund fixed rate investments of targeted amounts and maturities. In general, advances result in very little net interest rate risk for the Bank because most fixed rate advances with original maturities greater than three months and all advances with embedded options are simultaneously hedged with an interest rate swap or option with terms ~~offsetting~~to offset the advance. The interest rate swap or option generally is maintained as a hedge for the life of the advance. These hedged advances effectively create a pool of variable rate assets, which, in combination with the strategy of raising debt swapped to variable rate liabilities, creates an advances portfolio with low net interest rate risk.

Money market investments used for liquidity management generally have maturities of one month or less. In addition, to increase the Bank’s liquidity position, the Bank invests in ~~non-MBS agency~~Treasury securities, generally with terms of less than three years. These fixed rate investments ~~may be~~are swapped to variable rate ~~or fixed rate, and the interest rate risk resulting from the fixed rate coupon is hedged with an interest rate swap or fixed rate debt.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

investments.

The interest rate risk in the advances-related business is primarily associated with the Bank’s strategy for investing capital (capital stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, and retained earnings). The Bank’s strategy is

Table of Contents

generally to invest 50% of capital in short-term investments (maturities of three months or less) and 50% in intermediate-term investments (a laddered portfolio of investments with maturities of up to four years). However, this strategy may be altered from time to time depending on market conditions. The strategy to invest 50% of capital in short-term assets is intended to mitigate the market value of capital risks associated with the potential repurchase or redemption of excess capital stock. Excess capital stock usually results from a decline in a borrower’s outstanding advances or by a membership termination. Under the Bank’s capital plan, capital stock, when repurchased or redeemed, is required to be repurchased or redeemed at its par value of $100 per share, subject to certain regulatory and statutory limits. The strategy to invest 50% of capital in a laddered portfolio of investments with short to intermediate maturities is intended to take advantage of the higher earnings available from a generally positively sloped yield curve, when intermediate-term investments generally have higher yields than short-term investments.

The Bank updates the repricing and maturity gaps for actual asset, liability, and derivative transactions that occur in the advances-related segment each day. The Bank regularly compares the targeted repricing and maturity gaps to the actual repricing and maturity gaps to identify rebalancing needs for the targeted gaps. On a weekly basis, the Bank evaluates the projected impact of expected maturities and scheduled repricings of assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements on the interest rate risk of the advances-related segment. ~~The analyses are prepared under base case and alternate interest rate scenarios to assess the effect of options embedded in the advances, related financing, and hedges.~~ These analyses are ~~also~~ used to measure and manage potential reinvestment risk (when the remaining term of advances is shorter than the remaining term of the financing) and potential refinancing risk (when the remaining term of advances is longer than the remaining term of the financing).

Because of the short-term and variable rate nature of the assets, liabilities, and derivatives of the advances-related business, the Bank’s interest rate risk guidelines address the amounts of net assets that are expected to mature or reprice in a given period. The market value sensitivity analyses and net interest income simulations are also used to identify and measure risk and variances to the target interest rate risk exposure in the advances-related segment.

Mortgage-Related Business – The Bank’s mortgage assets include MBS, most of which are classified as HTM or AFS, with a small amount classified as trading, and mortgage loans held for portfolio purchased under the MPF Program. The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk from the mortgage-related business because the principal cash flows of the mortgage assets and the liabilities that fund them are not exactly matched through time and across all possible interest rate scenarios, given the ~~impact~~effect of mortgage prepayments and the existence of interest rate caps on certain adjustable rate MBS.

The Bank manages the interest rate risk and market risk of the mortgage-related segment through its investment in low risk assets and selected funding and hedging strategies. The total carrying value of MBS and mortgage loans at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, was ~~$22.0~~$20.9 billion, including ~~$18.8~~$17.7 billion in MBS and $3.2 billion in mortgage loans. The total carrying value of MBS and mortgage loans at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, was ~~$21.0~~$21.1 billion, including ~~$17.9~~$17.8 billion in MBS and ~~$3.1~~$3.3 billion in mortgage loans. Floating rate securities, and fixed rate multifamily securities that have been converted to floating rate through the use of interest rate swaps, were ~~$15.3~~$15.2 billion, or ~~70%~~73%, of MBS and mortgage loans at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$14.2~~$15.1 billion, or ~~68%~~72%, of MBS and mortgage loans at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Intermediate and long-term fixed rate assets, whose interest rate and market risks have been partially offset through the use of fixed rate non-callable debt, fixed rate callable debt, and certain interest rate swaps whose characteristics mimic that of fixed rate callable debt, were ~~$6.7~~$5.7 billion, or ~~30%~~27%, of MBS and mortgage loans, at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$6.8~~$6.0 billion, or ~~32%~~28%, of MBS and mortgage loans at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The estimated market risk of the mortgage-related business is managed both at the time an asset is purchased and on an ongoing basis for the total portfolio. At the time of purchase (for all significant mortgage asset acquisitions), the Bank analyzes the estimated earnings sensitivity and estimated market value sensitivity, taking into consideration the estimated mortgage prepayment sensitivity of the mortgage assets and anticipated funding and hedging activities under various interest rate scenarios. The related funding and hedging transactions are executed at or close to the time of purchase of a mortgage asset.

~~Table of Contents~~

At least monthly, the Bank reviews the estimated market risk profile of the entire portfolio of mortgage assets and related funding and hedging transactions. The Bank then considers rebalancing strategies to modify the estimated

Table of Contents

mortgage portfolio market risk profile. Periodically, the Bank performs more in-depth analyses, which include an analysis of the impacts of non-parallel shifts in the yield curve and assessments of the impacts of unanticipated mortgage prepayment behavior. Based on these analyses, the Bank may take actions to rebalance the mortgage portfolio’s market risk profile. These rebalancing strategies may include entering into new funding and hedging transactions, forgoing or modifying certain funding or hedging transactions normally executed with new mortgage purchases, or terminating certain funding and hedging transactions for the mortgage asset portfolio.

The Bank manages the estimated interest rate risk associated with mortgage assets, including mortgage prepayment risk, through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. The Bank may obtain funding through callable and non-callable FHLBank System debt and may execute derivative transactions to achieve principal cash flow patterns and market value sensitivities for the liabilities and derivatives that provide a significant offset to the interest rate and mortgage prepayment risks associated with the mortgage assets. Debt issued to finance mortgage assets may be fixed rate debt, callable fixed rate debt, or adjustable rate debt. Derivatives may be used as temporary hedges of anticipated debt issuance or long-term hedges of debt used to finance the mortgage assets. The derivatives used to hedge the interest rate risk of fixed rate mortgage assets generally may be callable and non-callable pay-fixed interest rate swaps. Derivatives may also be used to offset the interest rate cap risk embedded in adjustable rate MBS.

As discussed above in “Total Bank Market Risk – Market Value of Capital ~~Sensitivity”~~Sensitivity,” the Bank uses market value of capital sensitivity as a primary market value metric for measuring the Bank’s exposure to interest rates. The Bank’s interest rate risk policies and guidelines for the mortgage-related business address the market value of capital sensitivity of the assets, liabilities, and derivatives of the mortgage-related business.

The following table presents results of the estimated market value of capital sensitivity analysis attributable to the mortgage-related business as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The senior management of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (Bank) is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1934 Act) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Bank’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Bank’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures.

Management of the Bank has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures with the participation of the president and chief executive officer and executive vice president and chief financial officer as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Bank’s president and chief executive officer and executive vice president and chief financial officer have concluded that the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, there were no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

Consolidated Obligations

The Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures for accumulating and communicating information in compliance with the Bank’s disclosure and financial reporting requirements relating to the joint and several liability for the consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). Because the FHLBanks are independently managed and operated, the Bank’s management relies on information that is provided or disseminated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency), the Office of Finance, and the other FHLBanks, as well as on published FHLBank credit ratings, in determining whether the joint and several liability regulation is reasonably likely to result in a direct obligation for the Bank or whether it is reasonably possible that the Bank will accrue a direct liability.

The Bank’s management also relies on the operation of the joint and several liability regulation. The joint and several liability regulation requires that each FHLBank file with the Finance Agency a quarterly certification that it will remain capable of making full and timely payment of all of its current obligations, including direct obligations, coming due during the next quarter. In addition, if an FHLBank cannot make such a certification or if it projects that it may be unable to meet its current obligations during the next quarter on a timely basis, it must file a notice with the Finance Agency. Under the joint and several liability regulation, the Finance Agency may order any FHLBank to make principal and interest payments on any consolidated obligations of any other FHLBank, or allocate the outstanding liability of an FHLBank among all remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding or on any other basis.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (Bank) may be subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.

~~On March 28, 2019,~~ For information regarding the two lawsuits filed by former Bank officer, Lawrence H. Parks, aand another former officer of the Bank, ~~along with another former employee, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,~~ against the Bank, ~~and~~ certain of the Bank’s current and former directors, the Bank’s former chief executive officer, one current employee, and ~~two employees. The plaintiffs’ suit alleges breach of contract arising out of a mediation relating to threatened claims made by~~one former employee, see “Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the plaintiffs of alleged: (i) race discrimination under the D.C. Human Rights Act against the Bank, (ii) aiding and abetting discrimination under the D.C. Human Rights Act against the chief executive officer and members of the Board, and (iii) defamation against two Bank employees (and the Bank as their employer), and negligent hiring/supervision of the chief executive officer against the Bank and its Board of Directors. The plaintiffs seek damages not to exceed $3.6 million. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this claim.Bank’s 2019 Form 10-K.

After consultation with legal counsel, the Bank is not aware of any other legal proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations or that are otherwise material to the Bank.


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

Natural disasters, pandemics, terrorist attacks, or other catastrophic events could adversely affect the Bank’s operations, business activities, results of operations and financial condition.

Natural disasters, pandemics, or other widespread health emergencies (such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19), terrorist attacks, or other unanticipated or catastrophic events could create economic and financial disruptions and uncertainties, which may lead to reduced demand for advances and an increased risk of credit losses for the Bank and may adversely affect its cost of funding or access to funding. These events may also lead to operational difficulties that could adversely affect the ability of the Bank and the Office of Finance to conduct and manage their businesses. Any of these factors could adversely affect the Bank’s business activities and results of operations.

In particular, the current COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the credit markets in which the Bank operates, and the decline in interest rates has adversely affected the fair values of the Bank’s assets, the valuation of collateral, and the Bank’s net income and capital. A prolonged COVID-19 outbreak may continue to have adverse effects on the Bank’s profitability and financial condition. Market volatility and economic stress during a prolonged COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Bank’s access to the debt markets and possibly affect the Bank’s liquidity. The Bank’s decision to have all employees work remotely in accordance with local “stay-at-home” orders may create additional cybersecurity risks and operational challenges that could affect the Bank’s ability to conduct business or increase the risk of operational incidents and errors. In addition, the Bank relies on vendors and other third parties to perform certain critical services, and if one of our critical vendors or third parties experiences a failure or any interruption to their business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank may be unable to conduct and manage its business effectively. The outlook for the remainder of 2020 is uncertain, and there is a possibility that if the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low or even uses negative interest rates, this could significantly affect the Bank’s business and profitability.

For a discussion of other risk factors, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Bank’s ~~2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of the Bank’s 2018~~2019 Form 10-K.


ITEM 5.	OTHER INFORMATION

As previously reported, Kenneth C. Miller, executive vice president and chief financial officer of the Bank, notified the Bank of his decision to retire from the Bank in the second quarter of 2020. On May 7, 2020, Mr. Miller notified the Bank of his decision to revise his retirement date to the fourth quarter of 2020, after the Bank’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2020, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
