•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; 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 before the adoption of accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on MBS and mortgage loans.
Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Descriptions of the Bank’s significant accounting policies are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K. Other changes to these policies as of September 30, 2022, are discussed in Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Guidance.
Private-label Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (PLRMBS) Trust Settlement. A PLRMBS trust settlement is recorded in other income/(loss) as “Private-label residential mortgage-backed securities trust settlement” in the Statements of Income. A trust settlement is considered realized and recorded when the Bank receives cash or assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash or claims to cash, when the Bank enters into a signed agreement that is not subject to appeal, where the counterparty has the ability to pay, and the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated. Prior to being realized or realizable, the Bank considers potential settlements to be gain contingencies, and therefore they are not recorded in the Statements of Income.
One of the Bank’s PLRMBS is held within a trust that has been the subject of litigation by the trustee since 2012. Upon final resolution of the litigation, to which the Bank was not a party, the trustee was required to transmit settlement proceeds to the trust. As a result of the distribution of the settlement proceeds in the first quarter of 2022 to the beneficial owners of the securities in the trust, including the Bank, the Bank recorded settlement proceeds of $28 million as income.

Note 2 — Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
The following table provides a summary of recently issued accounting standards that may have an effect on the Bank’s 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, as amended (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 held-to-maturity (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 has assessed the guidance and has elected some of the optional expedients and exceptions provided related to the discounting transition for uncleared derivative transactions on a prospective basis during 2021, which did not have a material effect. |
| | | | | | |
Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (ASU 2022-02) | | This guidance eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses methodology while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, this guidance requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases. | | The guidance becomes effective for the Bank for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. | | The Bank is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and its effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined. |
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 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, none of these investments were with counterparties rated below BBB nor with unrated counterparties. These may differ from any internal ratings of the investments by the Bank, if applicable.
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are generally transacted on an overnight term. Finance Agency regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit the Bank may extend to a counterparty. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, all investments in interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold were repaid or expected to be repaid according to the relevant contractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Carrying values of interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold exclude accrued interest receivable of $5 million and $1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022, and de minimis amounts as of December 31, 2021.
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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The carrying value of securities purchased under agreements to resell excludes $1 million and a de minimis amount of accrued interest receivable as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
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 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.
Trading Securities. The estimated fair value of trading securities as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was as follows:

To evaluate investment securities for credit loss at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank employed the following methodologies, based on the type of security.
AFS and HTM Securities (Excluding PLRMBS) – The Bank’s AFS and HTM securities 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, substantially all of AFS securities and HTM securities, based on amortized cost, were rated A, or above, by an NRSRO, based on the lowest long-term credit rating for each security. These may differ from any internal ratings of the securities by the Bank, if applicable.
At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, certain of the Bank’s AFS securities were in an unrealized loss position. These losses are considered temporary as the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these AFS investment securities and neither intends to sell these securities nor considers it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. Further, the Bank has not experienced any payment defaults on the instruments and substantially all of these
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
securities are highly rated. In the case of U.S. obligations, they carry an explicit government guarantee. As a result, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on these AFS securities at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank had not established an allowance for credit losses on any of its HTM securities because the securities: (i) were all highly rated or had short remaining terms to maturity and (ii) had not experienced, nor did the Bank expect, any payment default on the instruments, and (iii) in the case of U.S. Treasury, GSE, or other agency obligations, carry an implicit or explicit government guarantee such that the FHLBanks 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 first quarter of 2008. However, many of these securities have subsequently experienced significant credit deterioration. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, approximately 5% 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 uses cash flow analyses. For certain PLRMBS where underlying collateral data is not available, alternative procedures as determined by the Bank are used to assess these securities for credit loss measurement.
At each quarter end, the Bank compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected on its PLRMBS, using the effective interest rate, to the amortized cost basis of the securities to determine whether a credit loss exists. The expected credit losses are measured using:
•expected housing price changes;
•expected interest rate assumptions;
•the remaining payment terms for the security;
•expected default rates based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics;
•loss severities on the collateral supporting each unique PLRMBS based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics; and
•prepayment speeds based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics.
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 these assumptions and expectations. The cash flows determined reflect management’s expectations and include a base case housing price forecast for 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 PLRMBS with previous credit losses related to the prior methodology of evaluating credit losses (securities for which the Bank determined that it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis), measurement of the fair value of PLRMBS classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2022, uses significant inputs that include, based on unpaid principal balance, the weighted average percentage of prepayment rates of 11.0%; default rates of 7.3%; and loss severities of 51.9%. The weighted average percentage of the related current credit enhancement for these securities, based on unpaid principal balance, was 8.6% as of September 30, 2022. 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 total net accretion recognized in interest income associated with PLRMBS with previous credit losses related to the prior methodology of evaluating credit losses totaled $14 million and $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $43 million and $52 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accretion of yield adjustments resulting from improvement of expected cash flows that are recognized over the remaining life of the securities totaled $9 million and $13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $27 million and $39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
In general, the Bank elects to transfer any PLRMBS that incurred a credit loss during the applicable period from the Bank’s HTM portfolio to its AFS portfolio at their fair values. The Bank previously recognized a credit loss on these HTM PLRMBS, which the Bank believes is evidence of a significant decline in the credit quality of the underlying collateral. The decline in the credit quality of the underlying collateral is the basis for the transfers to the AFS portfolio. These transfers allow the Bank the option to sell these securities before 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 transferred PLRMBS from its HTM portfolio to its AFS portfolio with an amortized cost and fair value of $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Bank transferred PLRMBS from its HTM portfolio to its AFS portfolio with an amortized cost of $17 million and fair value of $20 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Bank did not transfer any PLRMBS from its HTM portfolio to its AFS portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
For the Bank’s PLRMBS, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, largely because of declines in the fair values and the present value of expected cash flows of certain PLRMBS. The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily resulting from a decline in fair value prices for certain PLRMBS. Further declines in PLRMBS fair values may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. The Bank recorded a reversal of credit losses of $5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily resulting from lower default rates as well as improved projected credit performance in part related to a more optimistic economic outlook because of the monetary and fiscal stimulus measures taken by the U.S. government.
Note 4 — Advances
The Bank offers a wide range of fixed and adjustable rate advance products with different maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics, and option features. Fixed rate advances generally have maturities ranging from one day to 30 years. Adjustable rate advances generally have maturities ranging from less than 30 days to 10 years, with the interest rates resetting periodically at a fixed spread to a specified index.
Redemption Terms. The Bank had advances outstanding at interest rates ranging from 0.19% to 8.57% at September 30, 2022, and 0.13% to 8.57% at December 31, 2021, as summarized below.

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 no longer offers advances with partial prepayment symmetry. The Bank had advances with full prepayment symmetry outstanding totaling $14.8 billion at September 30, 2022, and $9.0 billion at December 31, 2021. The Bank had advances with partial prepayment symmetry outstanding totaling $1.0 billion at September 30, 2022, and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2021. Some advances may be repaid on pertinent call dates without prepayment fees (callable advances). The Bank had callable advances outstanding totaling $1.4 billion at September 30, 2022, and $70 million at December 31, 2021.
The Bank had putable advances totaling $710 million at September 30, 2022, and $220 million at December 31, 2021. 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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.

(1) Interest income amounts exclude the interest effect of interest rate exchange agreements with derivative counterparties; as a result, the total interest income amounts will not agree to the Statements of Income. The amount of interest income from advances can vary depending on the amount outstanding, terms to maturity, interest rates, and repricing characteristics.
(2) An officer or director of the member is a Bank director.
The Bank held a security interest in collateral from each of the top five advances borrowers and their affiliates sufficient to support their respective advances outstanding, and the Bank does not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances.
Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. The Bank manages its credit exposure related to 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 member financial institutions that have their principal place of business in Arizona, California, or Nevada, 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, insured, 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 certain privately issued MBS, 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.
At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, none of the Bank’s credit products were past due or on nonaccrual status. There were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Based on the collateral pledged as security for advances, the Bank’s credit analyses of borrowers’ financial condition, repayment history on advances, and the Bank’s credit extension and collateral policies as of September 30, 2022, the Bank expects to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses on advances was deemed necessary by the Bank as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

The Bank did not have any advances with embedded features that met the requirements to separate the embedded feature from the host contract and designate the embedded feature as a stand-alone derivative at September 30, 2022, or December 31, 2021. The Bank has generally elected to account for certain advances with embedded features under the fair value option, and these advances are carried at fair value on the Statements of Condition. For more information, see Note 11 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities and Note 12 – Fair Value.
Prepayment Fees, Net. The Bank charges borrowers prepayment fees or pays borrowers prepayment credits when the principal on certain advances is paid before original maturity. The Bank records prepayment fees net of any associated fair value adjustments related to prepaid advances that were hedged. The net amount of prepayment fees is reflected in the Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as follows:

Medium-term loans have original contractual terms of 15 years or less, and long-term loans have contractual terms of more than 15 years.
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. A past due loan is one where the borrower has failed to make a scheduled full payment of principal and interest within 30 days of its due date. 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 the Bank’s mortgage loans at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

(1) The amortized cost 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $9 million and $21 million, respectively, of mortgage loans on nonaccrual status did not have an associated allowance for credit losses because these loans were either previously charged off to the expected recoverable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, including any credit enhancements, is greater than the amortized cost of the loans.
(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 Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. Mortgage loans held for portfolio are evaluated on a loan-level basis for expected credit losses, factoring in the credit enhancement structure at the master commitment level. The Bank determines its allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans held for portfolio through analyses that include consideration of various loan portfolio 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 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 September 30, 2022, the Bank’s reasonable and supportable forecast of housing prices expects, on average, for prices to appreciate 3.1% over a one-year forecast horizon before reverting to long-term housing price appreciation rates of 4.0% after five additional years in the forecast based on historical averages. At December 31, 2021, the Bank’s reasonable and supportable forecast of housing prices expects, on average, for prices to appreciate 8.4% over a one-year forecast horizon before reverting to long-term housing price appreciation rates of 3.3% after five additional years in the forecast based on historical averages. The Bank also incorporates associated credit enhancements, if any, to determine its estimate of expected credit losses.
Certain mortgage loans held for portfolio may be evaluated for credit losses by the Bank using the practical expedient for collateral-dependent assets. A mortgage loan is considered collateral-dependent if repayment is expected to be provided by the sale of the underlying property, that is, if it is considered likely that the borrower will default. The Bank may estimate the fair value of this collateral by applying an appropriate loss severity rate or using third-party estimates or property valuation models. The expected credit loss of a collateral-dependent mortgage loan is equal to the difference between the amortized cost of the loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs. The Bank will either reserve for these estimated losses or record a direct charge-off of the loan balance, if certain triggering criteria are met. Expected recoveries of prior charge-offs, if any, are included in the allowance for credit loss.
The following table presents a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on the mortgage loan portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The amount of charge-offs and recoveries of allowance for credit losses on the mortgage loan portfolio were de minimis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 6 — 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 held for portfolio 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 classified as demand, overnight, and other pay interest based on a daily interest rate. Term deposits pay interest based on a fixed rate determined at the issuance of the deposit.
Deposits and interest rate payment terms for deposits as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

Note 7 — Consolidated Obligations
Consolidated obligations, consisting of bonds and discount notes, are jointly issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) through the Office of Finance, which serves as the FHLBanks’ agent. As provided by the 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 16 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Bank’s 2021 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.
Redemption Terms. The following is a summary of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

The Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding includes callable bonds of $20.9 billion at September 30, 2022, and $14.6 billion at December 31, 2021. When a callable bond for which the Bank is the primary obligor is issued, the Bank may simultaneously enter into an interest rate swap (wherein 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 option in a swap). The Bank had notional amounts of interest rate exchange agreements hedging callable bonds of $19.3 billion at September 30, 2022, and $12.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The combined callable swaps and callable bonds enable the Bank to meet its funding needs at lower costs relative to similar tenor non-callable debt, while effectively converting the Bank’s net payment to an adjustable rate.
The Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was as follows:

Note 9 — Capital
Capital Requirements. 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. For further information related to the Bank’s capital requirements, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank complied with these capital rules and requirements as shown in the following table.

The Bank’s capital plan requires each member to own capital stock in an amount equal to the greater of its membership capital stock requirement or its activity-based capital stock requirement. The Bank may adjust these requirements from time to time within limits established in the capital plan. Any changes to the capital plan must be approved by the Bank’s board of directors and the Finance Agency. For information on the Bank’s membership capital stock requirement and activity-based capital stock requirement, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital – Capital Requirements” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock.

Excess Stock Repurchase, Retained Earnings, and Dividend Framework. 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.
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 JCE Agreement is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank. In accordance with the JCE Agreement, each FHLBank is required to allocate 20% of its net income each quarter to a separate restricted retained earnings account until the balance of the account, calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter, equals at least 1% of that FHLBank's average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the calendar quarter. Under the JCE Agreement, these restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends. The JCE Agreement also provides that amounts in restricted retained earnings in excess of 150% of the Bank’s restricted retained earnings minimum (i.e., 1% of the Bank’s total consolidated obligations calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter) may be released from restricted retained earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Bank reclassified $16 million from restricted retained earnings to unrestricted retained earnings as a result of the Bank exceeding this threshold. The Bank made no reclassifications from restricted retained earnings to unrestricted retained earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Bank reclassified $18 million from restricted retained earnings to unrestricted retained earnings as a result of the Bank exceeding this threshold. As a result of increased consolidated obligations during the third quarter of 2022, an allocation of net income was made into restricted retained earnings for the period in accordance with the JCE Agreement. The Bank’s restricted retained earnings totaled $708 million at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The Bank’s unrestricted retained earnings totaled $3.2 billion and $3.1 billion at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
For information on restricted retained earnings and the Bank’s Framework, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital” in the Bank’s 2021 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. For information on dividend payments, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
In addition, Finance Agency rules do not permit the Bank to pay dividends in the form of capital stock if its excess stock exceeds 1% of its total assets. Excess 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. Excess stock totaled $186 million, or 0.17% of total assets as of September 30, 2022. Excess stock totaled $120 million, or 0.22% of total assets as of December 31, 2021.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 6.00%, totaling $40 million, including $40 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the third quarter of 2021, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 6.00%, totaling $34 million, including $34 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.
In the first nine months of 2022, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 6.00%, totaling $108 million, including $108 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the first nine months of 2021, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 5.65%, totaling $98 million, including $98 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount 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.
On October 27, 2022, the Bank’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the third quarter of 2022 at an annualized rate of 7.00%, totaling $54 million. The Bank recorded the dividend on October 27, 2022, and expects to pay the dividend on November 10, 2022.
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Excess Stock – The Bank’s capital plan provides that the Bank may repurchase some or all of a shareholder’s excess stock, including any excess mandatorily redeemable capital stock, at the Bank’s discretion, subject to certain statutory and regulatory requirements. The Bank may also repurchase all of a member’s excess stock at a member’s request, at the Bank’s discretion, subject to certain statutory and regulatory requirements. For information on excess stock, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K. The Bank repurchased $1.7 billion and $373 million in excess stock during the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4.1 billion and $714 million in excess stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 third quarter of 2022 and 2021, 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 per share. 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.
Concentration. Silicon Valley Bank held $365 million, or 11%, and First Republic Bank held $342 million, or 10%, of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, as of September 30, 2022. No other institution held 10% or more of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, as of September 30, 2022. No institution held 10% or more of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, as of December 31, 2021.
Note 10 — 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” in other income/(loss), excludes interest income and expense associated with changes in fair value 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.” Affordable Housing Program (AHP) assessments are not included in the segment reporting analysis but are incorporated into the Bank’s overall assessment of financial performance.
For more information on these operating segments, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 13 – Segment Information” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
The following table presents the Bank’s adjusted net interest income by operating segment and reconciles total adjusted net interest income to income before the AHP assessment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 11 — 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 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.
For more information related to the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreement instruments and hedging activities, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 14 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K. For more information related to the Bank’s accounting policies for derivatives, see “Item 8.

Credit Risk. The Bank is subject to credit risk 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 if the clearing agent fails to meet its obligations. The use of a clearinghouse, or central counterparty, lowers overall credit risk exposure because it employs standard valuation and initial and variation margin processes and is specifically designed to withstand remote but plausible counterparty default credit events. Variation margin is posted or collected for changes in the value of the portfolio, and initial margin is posted for changes in risk profile of the portfolio. The Bank 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
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 September 30, 2022, was $676 million, for which the Bank posted cash collateral of $678 million in the ordinary course of business.
The Bank may present derivative instruments, related cash collateral received or pledged, and associated accrued interest by clearing agent or by counterparty when the netting requirements have been met.
The following tables present separately the fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities that have met the netting requirements, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Note 12 — 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. 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
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 table does not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the Bank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of total assets and liabilities.
The following tables present the net carrying value or carrying value, as applicable, the estimated fair value, and the fair value hierarchy level of the Bank’s financial instruments at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The Bank records trading securities, AFS securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, certain advances, certain consolidated obligations, and certain other assets at fair value on a recurring basis, and on occasion certain mortgage loans held for portfolio and certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Bank records all other financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost. Refer to the following tables for further details about the financial assets and liabilities held at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.

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.
•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 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
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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. Valuations are derived from techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market, which include pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or similar techniques.
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 September 30, 2022:
•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. For the periods presented, the Bank did not have any reclassifications for transfers in or out of level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Summary of Valuation Methodologies and Primary Inputs. For information related to 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, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 15 – Fair Value” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in these valuation methodologies and primary inputs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
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 other income/(loss) or other expense.
For more information on the Bank’s election of the fair value option, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 15 – Fair Value” in the Bank’s 2021 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 recording fair value changes of only the hedging 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.

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. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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.
The following table presents the difference between the aggregate remaining contractual principal balance outstanding and aggregate fair value of advances and consolidated obligation bonds for which the Bank elected the fair value option at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

Note 13 — 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 September 30, 2022, 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 $1.0 trillion at September 30, 2022, and $652.9 billion at December 31, 2021. The par value of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligations was $98.9 billion at September 30, 2022, and $46.9 billion at December 31, 2021. For more information on the joint and several liability regulation, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Off-balance sheet commitments as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | |
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. At September 30, 2022, the original terms of these standby letters of credit range from 3 days to 15 years, including a final expiration in 2037. The Bank monitors the creditworthiness of members that have standby letters of credit. The value of the Bank’s obligations related to standby letters of credit is recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $34 million at both September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance. Based on the Bank’s credit analyses of members’ financial condition and collateral requirements, the Bank deemed it unnecessary to record any additional liability for credit losses on the letters of credit outstanding or other off-balance sheet commitments as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
The Bank has pledged securities as collateral related to its cleared and uncleared derivatives. See Note 11 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information about the Bank’s pledged collateral and other credit risk-related contingent features. As of September 30, 2022, the Bank had pledged total collateral of $1.0 billion, including securities with a carrying value of $335 million, all of which may be repledged, and cash collateral, including accrued interest, of $699 million to counterparties and the clearinghouse that had market risk exposure to

the Bank related to derivatives. As of December 31, 2021, the Bank had pledged total collateral of $329 million, including securities with a carrying value of $252 million, all of which may be repledged, and cash collateral, including accrued interest, of $77 million to counterparties and the clearinghouse that had market risk exposure to the Bank related to derivatives.
The Bank may be subject to various pending legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, the Bank does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Readers of this report should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all risks and uncertainties addressed throughout this report, as well as those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K).
Quarterly Overview
Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $80 million, compared with net income of $71 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $9 million increase in net income relative to the prior-year period was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $37 million, partially offset by a $15 million decrease in other income/(loss) and an increase of $9 million in the provision for credit losses.
The $37 million increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 reflected an increase in interest income of $479 million, which was driven by higher yields on interest-earning assets, primarily resulting from higher interest rates on advances balances. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in net gains on designated fair value hedges. The increase in interest income was offset by an increase of $442 million in interest expense based on higher funding levels and interest costs.
The $15 million change in other income/(loss) primarily resulted from an increase of $27 million in net fair value losses associated with non-hedge qualifying derivatives and financial instruments carried at fair value. This increase in fair value losses was mainly driven by valuation changes created by market volatility and growth in the Bank's short-term advances funded by economically hedged consolidated obligations, which was offset by a decrease in net fair value losses of $13 million on trading securities that matured since the third quarter of 2021.
The increase of $9 million in the provision for credit losses for the quarter was largely attributable to declines in the fair values and the present value of expected cash flows of certain private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (PLRMBS).
At September 30, 2022, total assets were $108.5 billion, an increase of $54.4 billion from $54.1 billion at December 31, 2021. Advances increased to $65.7 billion at September 30, 2022, up from $17.0 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $48.7 billion, as member demand for primarily short-term advances increased. The increase in total assets also included an increase in total investments of $5.9 billion, to $41.7 billion at September 30, 2022, up from $35.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in investments primarily reflected higher liquidity-related instruments, including increases in Federal funds sold of $7.3 billion, U.S. Treasury securities of $3.0 billion, and interest-bearing deposits of $1.3 billion. This increase in investments was partially offset by a decline of $3.5 billion in securities purchased under agreements to resell and mortgage-backed securities of $2.2 billion.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) decreased by $319 million during the first nine months of 2022, to $12 million at September 30, 2022, from $331 million at December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting lower fair values of investment securities classified as available-for-sale (AFS), which primarily reflects the increase in market interest rates during the first nine months of 2022.
As of September 30, 2022, the Bank complied with all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank exceeded the risk-based capital requirement of $855 million with $7.3 billion in permanent capital and exceeded the 4.0% regulatory requirement with a regulatory capital ratio of 6.7% at September 30, 2022. The decline in regulatory capital ratio to 6.7% from 10.9% at December 31, 2021, was mainly attributable to an increase in total assets. Total retained earnings increased to $3.9 billion as of September 30, 2022, from $3.8 billion at yearend 2021.
On October 27, 2022, the Bank’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the average capital stock outstanding during the third quarter of 2022 at an annualized rate of 7.00% that will total $54 million. The quarterly dividend rate is consistent with the Bank's dividend philosophy of endeavoring to pay a quarterly dividend at a rate between 5% and 7% annualized. The Bank recorded the dividend on October 27, 2022, and the Bank expects to pay the dividend on November 10, 2022.
The Bank will continue to monitor its financial condition, 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.
During the third quarter of 2022, the U.S. economy continued to experience inflation and rising interest rates. Prolonged inflation may adversely affect overall economic conditions, and in turn result in adverse consequences in
the Bank or the Bank members’ businesses and impact the Bank’s financial condition, results of operation, or ability to pay dividends. Additionally, the level and volatility of interest rates affect, among other things, member demand for advances. For other risks and uncertainties that the Bank faces, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.”
On July 20, 2022, Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency) Director Sandra Thompson testified to the House Financial Services Committee that the Finance Agency would conduct a review of the FHLBank System. On September 29, 2022, the Finance Agency began this review with a three-day listening session featuring oral comments from interested persons on the following six key areas: the FHLBanks’ general mission and purpose in a changing marketplace; FHLBank organization, operational efficiency, and effectiveness; FHLBanks’ role in promoting affordable, sustainable, equitable, and resilient housing and community investment; addressing the unique needs of rural and financially vulnerable communities; member products, services, and collateral requirements; and membership eligibility requirements. These sessions were followed by a request for written comments through October 31, 2022. At this time, it is not possible to determine when any future events or requests for comment will occur, whether any actions will result from these events or comments, and the extent to which those actions may impact the Bank or the FHLBank System as a whole.

(1)Investments consist of interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, Federal funds sold, trading securities, available-for-sale securities, and held-to-maturity securities.
(2)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 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 September 30, 2022, 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 calculated as net interest income (annualized) divided by average interest-earning assets.
(4)This ratio is calculated as dividends per share declared, recorded, and paid during the period 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 PLRMBS with previous credit losses related to the prior methodology of evaluating credit losses, less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, mandatorily redeemable capital stock, and other borrowings. The Average Balance Sheets tables that follow present the average balances of interest-earning asset categories and the sources that funded those interest-earning assets (liabilities and capital) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, together with the related interest income and expense. They also present the average rates on total interest-earning assets and the average costs of total funding sources.

The net interest margin was 63 basis points for the third quarter of 2022, 22 basis points lower than the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021, which was 85 basis points. The net interest spread was 48 basis points for the third quarter of 2022, 35 basis points lower than the net interest spread for the third quarter of 2021, which was 83 basis points. These decreases were primarily a result of an increase in costs of interest-bearing liabilities from higher funding levels and costs, partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets, primarily resulting from higher interest rates on growing advance balances.
For PLRMBS with previous credit losses related to the prior methodology of evaluating credit losses, the Bank updates its estimate of future estimated cash flows on a regular basis. If there is no additional credit loss on the security, the yield of the security is adjusted on a prospective basis and accreted into interest income based on the expected cash flows. As a result of improvements in the estimated cash flows of these securities, the net accretion of income may 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 12 – Fair Value.”
Net Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives – Under the accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the Bank is required to carry all of its derivative instruments on the Statements of Condition at fair value. Certain derivatives are associated with assets or liabilities but do not qualify as fair value hedges under the accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. These economic hedges are recorded on the Statements of Condition at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings without any offsetting unrealized gain or loss from the associated asset or liability.
The following table shows the accounting classification of economic hedges and the categories of hedged items that contributed to the gains and losses on derivatives that were recorded in “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives” in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021.

During the third quarter of 2022, net losses on derivatives totaled $1 million compared to net gains of $15 million in the third quarter of 2021. These amounts included expense of $24 million and expense of $16 million resulting from net settlements on derivative instruments used in economic hedges in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding the impact of income or expense from net settlements on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, the net gains or losses on 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.

The net interest margin was 68 basis points for the first nine months of 2022, 24 basis points lower than the net interest margin for the first nine months of 2021, which was 92 basis points. The net interest spread was 57 basis points for the first nine months of 2022, 34 basis point lower than the net interest spread for the first nine months of 2021, which was 91 basis points. These decreases were primarily a result of an increase in costs of interest-bearing liabilities from higher funding levels and costs, offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets, primarily resulting from higher interest rates on growing advance balances.
For PLRMBS with previous credit losses related to the prior methodology of evaluating credit losses, the Bank updates its estimate of future estimated cash flows on a regular basis. If there is no additional credit loss on the security, the yield of the security is adjusted on a prospective basis and accreted into interest income based on the expected cash flows. As a result of improvements in the estimated cash flows of these securities, 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 12 – Fair Value.”
Net Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives – The following table shows the accounting classification of economic hedges and the categories of hedged items that contributed to the gains and losses on derivatives that were recorded in “Net gain/(loss) on derivatives” for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

During the first nine months of 2022, net losses on derivatives totaled $13 million compared to net gains of $25 million in the first nine months of 2021. These amounts included expense of $17 million and expense of $61 million resulting from net settlements on derivative instruments used in economic hedges in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding the impact of income or expense from net settlements on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, the net gains or losses on 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.
Additional information about derivatives and hedging activities is provided in “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 11 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”
PLRMBS Trust Settlement – One of the Bank’s PLRMBS investments is held within a trust that has been the subject of litigation by the trustee since 2012. Upon final resolution of the litigation, to which the Bank was not a party, the trustee was required to transmit settlement proceeds to the trust. As a result of the distribution of the settlement proceeds in the first quarter of 2022 to the beneficial owners of the securities in the trust, including the Bank, the Bank recorded settlement proceeds of $28 million as income in the first nine months of 2022. The Bank recorded no settlement proceeds in the first nine months of 2021.
Other Expense. During the third quarter of 2022, other expenses totaled $41 million, compared to $38 million in the third quarter of 2021 mostly attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits. During the first nine months of 2022, other expenses totaled $117 million, compared to $116 million in the first nine months of 2021.
Return on Average Equity. Return on average equity (ROE) was 4.52% (annualized) for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 4.34% (annualized) for the third quarter of 2021. The increase reflected higher net income for the third quarter of 2022, which increased 13%, from $71 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $80 million in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in average equity from $6.5 billion in the third quarter of 2021 to $7.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022.
ROE was 4.09% (annualized) for the first nine months of 2022, compared to 4.59% (annualized) for the first nine months of 2021. The decrease reflected lower net income for the first nine months of 2022, which decreased 6%, from $220 million in the first nine months of 2021 to $206 million in the first nine months of 2022, and an increase in average equity from $6.4 billion in the first nine months of 2021 to $6.7 billion in the first nine months of 2022.
Dividends and Retained Earnings. In the third quarter of 2022, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 6.00%, totaling $40 million, including $40 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the third quarter of 2021, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 6.00%, totaling $34 million, including $34 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.
In the first nine months of 2022, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 6.00%, totaling $108 million, including $108 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount in dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock. In the first nine months of 2021, the Bank paid dividends at an annualized rate of 5.65%, totaling $98 million, including $98 million in dividends on capital stock and a de minimis amount 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.
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. The methodology may be revised from time to time, and the required level of required retained earnings under the methodology may change due to updating data and assumptions used in the methodology. The required level of retained earnings was $2.6 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. In July 2022, the required level of retained earnings was increased from $1.7 billion to $2.6 billion.
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 JCE Agreement is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank. In accordance with the JCE Agreement, each FHLBank is required to allocate 20% of its net income each quarter to a separate restricted retained earnings account until the balance of the account, calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter, equals at least 1% of that FHLBank's average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the calendar quarter. Under the JCE Agreement, these restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends. The JCE Agreement also provides that amounts in restricted retained earnings in excess of 150% of the Bank’s restricted retained earnings minimum (i.e., 1% of the Bank’s total consolidated obligations calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter) may be released from restricted retained earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Bank reclassified $16 million from restricted retained earnings to unrestricted retained earnings as a result of the Bank exceeding this threshold. The Bank made no reclassifications from restricted retained earnings to unrestricted retained earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Bank reclassified $18 million from restricted retained earnings to unrestricted retained earnings as a result of the Bank exceeding this threshold. As a result of increased consolidated obligations during the third quarter of 2022, an allocation of net income was made into restricted retained earnings for the period in accordance with the JCE Agreement. The Bank’s restricted retained earnings totaled $708 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021. The Bank’s unrestricted retained earnings totaled $3.2 billion and $3.1 billion at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Liquidity Risk,” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital – Excess Stock Repurchase, Retained Earnings, and Dividend Framework” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $108.5 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $54.1 billion at December 31, 2021. Advances increased by $48.7 billion, or 286%, to $65.7 billion at September 30, 2022, from $17.0 billion at December 31, 2021. Average total assets were $98.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a 71% increase from $57.5 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Average total assets were $76.4 billion for the first nine months of 2022, a 29% increase from $59.5 billion for the first nine months of 2021. Average advances were $58.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a 105% increase from $28.5 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Average advances were $43.1 billion for the first nine months of 2022, a 50% increase from $28.8 billion for the first nine months of 2021. Average MBS investments were $10.9 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a 20% decrease from $13.6 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Average MBS investments were $11.5 billion for the first nine months of 2022, a 19% decrease from $14.1 billion for the first nine months of 2021.
Advances outstanding at September 30, 2022, included net unrealized losses of $740 million, of which $692 million represented unrealized losses on advances hedged in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and $48 million represented unrealized losses on economically hedged advances that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. Advances outstanding at December 31, 2021, included net unrealized gains of $169 million, of which $103 million represented unrealized gains on advances hedged in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and $66 million represented unrealized gains on economically hedged advances that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The change in the net unrealized losses on the hedged advances and advances carried at fair value from December 31, 2021, to September 30, 2022, 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 $101.2 billion at September 30, 2022, an increase of $53.3 billion from $47.9 billion at December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting a $50.8 billion increase in consolidated obligations outstanding to $97.5 billion at September 30, 2022, from $46.7 billion at December 31, 2021. Average total liabilities were $91.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an 80% increase compared to $50.9 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Average total liabilities were $69.7 billion for the first nine months of 2022, a 31% increase compared to $53.1 billion for the first nine months of 2021. Average consolidated obligations were $89.8 billion for the third quarter of 2022 and $49.5 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Average consolidated obligations were $68.0 billion for the first nine months of 2022 and $51.4 billion for the first nine months of 2021.
Consolidated obligations outstanding at September 30, 2022, included net unrealized gains of $1.1 billion on consolidated obligation bonds hedged in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and unrealized gains of $68 million on economically hedged consolidated obligation bonds that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. Consolidated obligations outstanding at December 31, 2021, included net unrealized gains of $139 million on consolidated obligation bonds hedged in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and unrealized gains of $6 million on economically hedged consolidated obligation bonds that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The change in the net unrealized gains on the hedged consolidated obligation bonds and on the consolidated obligation bonds carried at fair value from December 31, 2021, to September 30, 2022, were primarily attributable to 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 Bank’s consolidated obligation bonds during the period.
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 September 30, 2022, 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 $1.0 trillion at September 30, 2022, and $652.9 billion at December 31, 2021.
Certain Bank assets 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 2021 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 identifies key strategies to manage and mitigate the risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR and promotes the use of robust benchmarks, like SOFR, in the Bank’s financial activities. In addition, the Transition Plan prohibits new LIBOR transactions, 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 the Bank members’ transition from LIBOR to an alternative index.
On October 21, 2020, the Finance Agency issued a Supervisory Letter to the FHLBanks that required each FHLBank to adhere to the Fallbacks Protocol (Protocol) by December 31, 2020, and, to the extent necessary, to amend any bilateral agreements regarding the adoption of the Protocol by December 15, 2020. On October 23, 2020, International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) launched the Supplement to the 2006 ISDA Definitions (Supplement) and the ISDA 2020 Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) Protocol. Both the Supplement and the Protocol took effect on January 25, 2021. As part of its LIBOR transition efforts, the Bank and all of its uncleared derivatives counterparties have adhered to the Protocol. On January 25, 2021, all of the Bank’s outstanding legacy bilateral derivative transactions that referenced a covered IBOR, including U.S. dollar LIBOR, were amended to apply the new ISDA-recommended IBOR fallbacks in the event of the relevant IBOR’s cessation.
On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) further announced that LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings.
Although the FCA does not expect LIBOR to become unrepresentative before the applicable cessation date and intends to consult on requiring the administrator of LIBOR to continue publishing LIBOR of certain currencies and tenors on a non-representative, synthetic basis for a period after the applicable cessation date, there is no assurance that LIBOR, of any particular currency or tenor, will continue to be published or be representative through any particular date. The FCA’s announcements constitutes an index cessation event under the Protocol and Supplement, and as a result, the fallbacks spread adjustment for each tenor was fixed as of the date of the announcement.
On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act was signed into law. The legislation provides a statutory fallback mechanism on a nationwide basis to replace LIBOR with a benchmark rate, selected by the Federal Reserve Board based on SOFR including any applicable tenor spread adjustment, for certain contracts that reference LIBOR and contain no fallback provisions or insufficient fallback provisions. On July 20, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board requested comments on a proposed rule that implements the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act by identifying specific benchmark replacements as LIBOR fallbacks by covered contract category. The proposed rule would provide default rules for certain contracts (covered contracts) that: reference LIBOR, are governed by U.S. law, do not mature on or before the LIBOR replacement date, and lack adequate provisions to
identify a replacement rate for LIBOR. The proposed rule identifies separate Board-selected replacement rates for derivatives transactions, covered GSE contracts, and all other covered contracts. The proposed rule defines covered GSE contracts to include FHLBank advances.
The following tables present LIBOR-indexed variable rate financial instruments for LIBOR tenors that cease or will no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023, by due date or termination date at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, there were no interest rate caps and floors indexed to LIBOR. At December 31, 2021, interest rate caps and floors indexed to LIBOR totaled $550 million.
All adjustable rate consolidated obligation bonds are indexed to SOFR, totaling $12.6 billion at September 30, 2022, and $5.6 billion at December 31, 2021.
For more information on LIBOR-indexed advances, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Segment Information – Advances-Related Business.” For more information on LIBOR-indexed investments and derivatives, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management.”
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” in other income/(loss), 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.” Affordable Housing Program (AHP) assessments are not included in the segment reporting analysis but are 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 10 – 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 $56.7 billion to $96.8 billion (89% of total assets) at September 30, 2022, from $40.1 billion (74% of total assets) at December 31, 2021.
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 $86 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $44 million, or 105%, compared to $42 million in the third quarter of 2021. This quarterly increase was primarily a result of an improvement in spreads on advances-related assets and higher balances of advances and other credit products. Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $172 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $29 million, or 20%, compared to $143 million in the first nine months of 2021. This increase was primarily a result of an improvement in spreads on advances-related assets and higher balances of advances and other credit products, partially offset by a decrease of $19 million in net advance prepayment fee income.
Adjusted net interest income for this segment represented 64% and 40% of total adjusted net interest income for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 48% and 42% of total adjusted net interest income for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Advances – The par value of advances outstanding increased by $49.5 billion, or 294%, to $66.4 billion at September 30, 2022, from $16.9 billion at December 31, 2021. Average advances outstanding were $58.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a 105% increase from $28.5 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Average advances outstanding were $43.1 billion for the first nine months of 2022, a 50% increase from $28.8 billion for the first nine months of 2021. Outstanding balances of advances may significantly increase and decrease from period to period
because of a member’s liquidity and financial strategies; therefore, period end balances may vary significantly from average balances for the period.
Advances outstanding to the Bank’s top five borrowers and their affiliates increased by $31.3 billion to $40.2 billion at September 30, 2022, from $8.9 billion at December 31, 2021. (See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 4 – Advances – Concentration Risk” for further information.) Silicon Valley Bank is the Bank’s largest borrower and held $13.5 billion of the Bank’s advances at September 30, 2022. Silicon Valley Bank had no advances outstanding at December 31, 2021.
Several acquisitions have been announced or completed involving large regional financial institutions in the Bank’s district, which potentially reduce the opportunity to grow advances from these large regional financial institutions. On September 21, 2021, U.S. Bancorp entered into an agreement to acquire MUFG Union Bank, National Association (Union Bank). Union Bank held $8.0 billion and $2.1 billion of the Bank’s advances at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. U.S. Bancorp is not a member of the Bank. If Union Bank is no longer a member of the Bank or any successor to Union Bank does not become a member of the Bank, and if no other advances are made to replace Union Bank’s outstanding advances, the Bank’s total advances may be significantly reduced due to the loss of a significant member.
Advances outstanding to the Bank’s other borrowers increased by $18.2 billion. The $49.5 billion increase in advances outstanding reflected a $33.4 billion increase in fixed rate advances, a $12.9 billion increase in variable rate advances, and a $3.2 billion increase in adjustable rate advances.
The Bank has a significant long-term funding arrangement with a borrower that had, in prior periods, significantly contributed to the level of outstanding advances and may significantly contribute to the level of outstanding advances in the future.
The components of the advances portfolio at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are presented in the following table.

(1)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. Advances with PPS are no longer offered, and 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.
The following table presents the par value of LIBOR-indexed advances for LIBOR tenors that cease or will no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023, by redemption term at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Non-MBS Investments – The Bank’s non-MBS investment portfolio consists of financial instruments that are used primarily to facilitate the Bank’s role as a cost-effective provider of credit and liquidity to members and to support the operations of the Bank. The Bank’s total non-MBS investment portfolio was $30.9 billion and $22.7 billion as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Interest rate payment terms for non-MBS investments classified as trading and AFS at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are detailed in the following table:

Borrowings – Total liabilities (primarily consolidated obligations) funding the advances-related business increased to $89.6 billion at September 30, 2022, from $33.8 billion at December 31, 2021. For further information and discussion of the Bank’s joint and several liability for FHLBank consolidated obligations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition” and “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies.”
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 types of consolidated obligation bonds are issued on behalf of the Bank, the Bank typically enters into interest rate exchange agreements with features that offset the complex features of the bonds to convert the bonds to adjustable rate instruments. For example, the Bank may issue fixed rate callable bonds and simultaneously execute an interest rate exchange agreement with call features to offset the call options embedded in the callable bonds.
At September 30, 2022, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled $112.1 billion, of which $34.7 billion were hedging advances, $71.9 billion were hedging consolidated obligations, $4.1 billion were hedging non-MBS investments, and $1.4 billion were offsetting derivatives. At December 31, 2021, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled $48.0 billion, of which $15.8 billion were hedging advances, $24.3 billion were hedging consolidated obligations, $0.8 billion were hedging non-MBS investments, and $7.1 billion were 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.
On March 15, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered the Federal funds rate, to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%. The current range is 3.00% to 3.25%, and the FOMC anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. Interest rate changes have and are expected to continue to adversely impact and increase the volatility of reported earnings. In addition, the FOMC is expected to continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency MBS to reduce the size of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. The following table presents a comparison of selected market interest rates as of the selected dates.

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” and “MPF” 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. Assets associated with this segment were $11.7 billion (11% of total assets) at September 30, 2022, and $14.1 billion at December 31, 2021 (26% of total assets).
Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $48 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $14 million, or 23%, from $62 million in the third quarter of 2021. This quarterly decrease was primarily a result of lower earnings from lower balances of mortgage-related products and current expected credit losses. Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $184 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $16 million, or 8%, from $200 million in the first nine months of 2021. This decrease was primarily a result of lower earnings from lower balances of mortgage-related products and current expected credit losses, partially offset by an increase in net prepayment fee income on AFS MBS and an improvement in retrospective adjustment of the effective yields on mortgage loans.
Adjusted net interest income for this segment represented 36% and 60% of total adjusted net interest income for the third quarters of each 2022 and 2021, and 52% and 58% of total adjusted net interest income for first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
MBS Investments – The Bank’s MBS portfolio was $10.8 billion at September 30, 2022, compared with $13.0 billion at December 31, 2021. During the first nine months of 2022, the Bank’s MBS portfolio decreased as a result of $1.4 billion in principal repayments, a $1.0 billion decrease in basis adjustments, and $314 million of fair value losses, partially offset by $412 million in purchases. Average MBS investments were $10.9 billion in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.7 billion from $13.6 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Average MBS investments were $11.5 billion in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $2.7 billion from $14.1 billion in the first nine months of 2021. For a discussion of the composition of the Bank’s MBS portfolio, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk – Investments.”

Mortgage Loans – Mortgage loan balances decreased to $834 million at September 30, 2022, from $980 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $146 million. Average mortgage loans were $850 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $371 million from $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Average mortgage loans were $892 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $572 million from $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2021.
At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank held conventional conforming fixed rate mortgage loans purchased under one of two MPF products, MPF Plus or MPF Original, which are described in greater detail in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk – MPF Program” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.

For more information on the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio, see “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 5 – Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio” in this report as well as “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk – MPF Program” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Borrowings – Total consolidated obligations funding the mortgage-related business decreased $2.4 billion to $11.7 billion at September 30, 2022, from $14.1 billion at December 31, 2021. For further information and discussion of the Bank’s joint and several liability for FHLBank consolidated obligations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition” and “Item 1.

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 may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable, putable, and basis swaps) and cap and floor agreements (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 – Interest Rate Exchange Agreements” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk. For a discussion of derivatives credit exposure, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Derivative Counterparties.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank’s financial strategies are designed to enable the Bank to 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 seeks 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 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 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 Finance Agency has established base case liquidity guidelines that each FHLBank maintain sufficient liquidity at least equal to its anticipated cash outflows, assuming no new consolidated obligation issuance, renewal of all maturing advances, a specified percentage drawdown on letters of credit 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. 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. The Bank is also required to perform an annual liquidity stress test and report the results to the Finance Agency.
In addition to 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank held total sources of funds in an amount that would have allowed the Bank to meet its liquidity needs without issuing new consolidated obligations for over 10 days, in accordance with the Finance Agency guidance. In addition, the Bank’s funding gap positions as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were within the tolerance levels provided by the Finance Agency guidance. The Bank had committed to the issuance of $3.2 billion in consolidated obligations at September 30, 2022. The Bank had no commitments to issue consolidated obligations at December 31, 2021.
For more information, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Liquidity Risk” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
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 Statements of Condition or may be recorded on the Bank’s 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 September 30, 2022, the Bank had no advance commitments and $19.7 billion in standby letters of credit outstanding. At December 31, 2021, the Bank had no advance commitments and $16.7 billion in standby letters of credit outstanding.
For additional information, see “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies.”
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank’s capital requirements are discussed in “Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 9 – Capital” in this report and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11 – Capital” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.
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 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, and corporate governance. The policy also 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 2021 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. 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.
For more information on the Bank’s management of credit risk on its advances, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk – Advances” in the Bank’s 2021 Form 10-K.

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’ market valuations and market liquidation risks. The following table presents the securities collateral pledged by all members and by nonmembers with credit outstanding at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

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.
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.
As of September 30, 2022, of the loan collateral pledged to the Bank, 15% was pledged by 21 institutions by specific identification, 55% was pledged by 113 institutions under a blanket lien with detailed reporting, and 30% was pledged by 131 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.
As of September 30, 2022, 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: 85% for first lien residential mortgage loans, 81% for multifamily mortgage loans, 81% for commercial mortgage loans, and 70% for second lien residential mortgage loans. The maximum borrowing capacity for small business, small agribusiness, and small farm loans was 50% 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 following table presents the mortgage loan collateral pledged by all members and by nonmembers with credit outstanding at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

(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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the unpaid principal balance of these loans totaled $4.9 billion and $5.4 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 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.

(1)Excludes unsecured investment credit exposure to U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, government-sponsored enterprises, and supranational entities and does not include related accrued interest as of September 30, 2022.
(2)Does not reflect changes in ratings, outlook, or watch status occurring after September 30, 2022. These ratings represent the lowest rating available for each unsecured investment owned by the Bank, based on the ratings provided by Fitch, Moody’s, or S&P. The Bank’s internal rating may differ from this rating.
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 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, including unpaid principal balance, unamortized premiums and discounts, and net charge-offs, to three times the Bank’s regulatory capital at the time of purchase. At September 30, 2022, the Bank’s MBS portfolio was 157% 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.
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.
As of September 30, 2022, the Bank’s investment in MBS had gross unrealized losses totaling $91 million, $31 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.
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 September 30, 2022, all of the gross unrealized losses on its agency MBS are temporary.
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 additional credit losses on PLRMBS in future
periods. Additional 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 an allowance for credit losses on its PLRMBS in the future.
The Bank has exposure to MBS with interest rates indexed to LIBOR. The following tables present the unpaid principal balance of adjustable rate MBS by interest rate index and the unpaid principal balance of LIBOR-indexed MBS for LIBOR tenors that cease or will no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023, by redemption term at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Derivative Counterparties. The Bank has adopted credit policies and exposure limits for uncleared derivatives counterparty credit exposure. Interest rate exchange agreements may be either uncleared or cleared at a clearinghouse.
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 its derivative dealer counterparties that provide for delivery of margin 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 its counterparty in a derivative transaction. A counterparty generally must deliver or return margin to the Bank if the total unsecured exposure to that counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount. 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 September 30, 2022.
Cleared Derivatives – In a cleared derivatives transaction, the Bank is subject to nonperformance by the clearinghouse and its futures commission merchant or clearing agent. The requirement that the Bank post initial and variation margin through a clearing agent to the clearinghouse exposes the Bank to institutional credit risk if the clearing agent fails to meet its obligations. The use of a clearinghouse, or central counterparty, lowers overall credit risk exposure because it employs standard valuation and initial and variation margin processes and is specifically designed to withstand remote but plausible counterparty default credit events. Variation margin is posted or collected for changes in the value of the portfolio, and initial margin is posted for changes in risk profile of the
portfolio. Because of an increase in market values of cleared derivatives during the first nine months of 2022 and the first nine months of 2021, there was an increase in variation margin collected on cleared derivatives that resulted in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities reported on the Statements of Cash Flows. The Bank does not anticipate any credit losses on its cleared derivatives as of September 30, 2022.
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 following tables present the Bank’s credit exposure to its derivative dealer counterparties at the dates indicated.

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 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 2021 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: 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; 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 before the adoption of accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on MBS and mortgage loans.
There have been no significant changes in the judgments and assumptions made during the first nine months of 2022 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 2021 Form 10-K and in “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 12 – Fair Value.”

Recent Developments
Annual Designation of Member Director and Independent Director Positions. On June 1, 2022, the Finance Agency designated one member director position for Arizona, six for California, and one for Nevada, effective January 1, 2023, the same allocation of positions as for 2022. In addition, the Finance Agency designated seven independent director positions for the Bank for 2023, the same number of positions as for 2022. The Arizona member director position, one of the California member director positions, and one of the independent director positions, all with current terms ending on December 31, 2022, will be filled through an election of the members located in Arizona (for the Arizona member director position), California (for the one California member director position), and an election of all members of the Bank (for the one independent director position). The elections will be held in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Arizona member director position, the one California member director position and the one independent director position will each have a four-year term that begins on January 1, 2023.
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 Appetite Framework 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 Appetite Framework approved by the Bank’s board of directors establishes market risk 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 Risk Appetite Framework. Market risk is managed for each business segment on a daily basis, as discussed below in “Segment Market Risk.” Compliance with Bank limits 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 risk limits for 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) is no worse than a 3.0% change in the estimated market value of capital. In addition, the risk limits for 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 points above or below the base case is no worse than 4.0% 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 limits as of September 30, 2022.
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 following table 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 market value of capital that would be expected to result from changes in interest rates under different interest rate scenarios, using market spread assumptions.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Market Value of Capital Sensitivity Estimated Percentage Change in Market Value of Bank Capital for Various Changes in Interest Rates |
| | | | |
Interest Rate Scenario(1) | September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 | |
+200 basis-point change above current rates | –2.7 | % | –2.3 | % |
+100 basis-point change above current rates | –1.3 | | –0.9 | |
–100 basis-point change below current rates(2) | +1.2 | | +0.5 | |
–200 basis-point change below current rates(2) | +2.2 | | +4.9 | |
(1)Instantaneous change from actual rates at dates indicated.
(2)Interest rates for each maturity are limited to non-negative rates.
The Bank’s estimates of the sensitivity of the market value of capital to changes in interest rates as of September 30, 2022, are comparable with the estimates as of December 31, 2021, with the exception of the declining rate scenarios. The increase in interest rates from yearend resulted in a larger absolute downward rate shocks for all term points. Compared to yearend, interest rates as of September 30, 2022, have increased ranging from 299 basis points for the one-month Treasury bill, 269 basis points for the five-year Treasury note, and 225 basis points for the 10-year Treasury note.
The Bank’s Risk Management Policy provides guidelines for the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess 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 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 stock repurchases would be subject to the same limitations and conditions as in (i) above, except that any excess 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 stock (but continue to redeem excess stock as provided in the Bank’s 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 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 220% as of September 30, 2022.
Adjusted Return on Capital – The adjusted return on capital is a non-GAAP 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.
The Bank’s Risk Appetite Framework incorporates a limit on the sensitivity of projected financial performance to projected adverse changes in the adjusted return on capital. The Bank’s adjusted return on capital sensitivity limit to 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 a –120 basis points change from the base-case projected adjusted return on capital. With the indicated interest rate shifts, the adjusted return on capital for the projected 12-month horizon is projected to remain within the 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 risk limit.

(1)Duration gap values include the impact of interest rate exchange agreements.
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 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 Treasury securities, generally with terms up to four years. These fixed rate investments are swapped to variable rate investments.
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 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 September 30, 2022, was $11.6 billion, including $10.8 billion in MBS and $835 million in mortgage loans. The total carrying value of MBS and mortgage loans at December 31, 2021, was $14.0 billion, including $13.0 billion in MBS and $981 million 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 $10.2 billion, or 88%, of MBS and
mortgage loans at September 30, 2022, and $12.2 billion, or 87%, of MBS and mortgage loans at December 31, 2021. Intermediate and long-term fixed rate assets, whose interest rate and market risks have been partially offset through the use of fixed rate callable debt, fixed rate non-callable debt, and certain interest rate swaps, were $1.4 billion, or 12%, of MBS and mortgage loans, at September 30, 2022, and $1.8 billion, or 13%, of MBS and mortgage loans at December 31, 2021.
As discussed above in “Total Bank Market Risk – Market Value of Capital 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 limits 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Market Value of Capital Sensitivity Estimated Percentage Change in Market Value of Bank Capital Attributable to the Mortgage-Related Business for Various Changes in Interest Rates |

–100 basis-point change(2) | +0.3 | | –0.2 | |
–200 basis-point change(2) | +0.4 | | +2.6 | |
(1)Instantaneous change from actual rates at dates indicated.
(2)Interest rates for each maturity are limited to non-negative rates.
The explanations for the changes in Bank’s estimates of the sensitivity of the market value of capital to changes in interest rates attributable to the mortgage-related business from December 31, 2021, to September 30, 2022, are the same as the explanations for the sensitivity of the market value of capital attributable to all of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and associated interest rate exchange agreements.

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 September 30, 2022, 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.
