Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "Bank" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use acronyms and terms throughout these Notes to Financial Statements that are defined in the Defined Terms.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain disclosures that would have substantially duplicated the disclosures in the financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our 2023 Form 10-K have been omitted unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
The financial statements contain all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Bank's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full calendar year or any other interim period.
Use of Estimates. When preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The most significant estimates pertain to the fair values of financial instruments, specifically our derivatives and associated hedged items.
Significant Accounting Policies. Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in our 2023 Form 10-K in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no significant changes to these policies through March 31, 2024.
Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
We did not adopt any new accounting guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Since the filing of our 2023 Form 10-K, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has not issued any new accounting standards that will have any impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 3 - Investments
Short-term Investments. We invest in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 94% and 97%, respectively, of these investments, based on amortized cost, were with counterparties rated by an NRSRO as investment grade (BBB or higher). The remaining investments were with unrated counterparties. The NRSRO ratings may differ from any internal ratings of the investments, if applicable.
Allowance for Credit Losses. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, based on our evaluations, no allowance for credit losses on any of our short-term investments was deemed necessary.

Contractual Maturity. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of our non-MBS AFS securities are presented below by contractual maturity. MBS are not presented by contractual maturity because their actual maturities will likely differ from their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.

Allowance for Credit Losses. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, certain of our AFS securities were in an unrealized loss position; however, no allowance for credit losses was deemed necessary because those losses were considered temporary and recovery of the entire amortized cost basis on these securities at maturity was expected.

1 Carrying value equals amortized cost, which includes adjustments made to the cost basis for purchase discount or premium and related accretion or amortization. Net unamortized premium at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $20,947 and $21,942, respectively.
Contractual Maturity. HTM securities are not presented by contractual maturity because they consisted entirely of MBS, whose actual maturities will likely differ from their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.
Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of HTM securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold a portion of our HTM MBS for which we had previously collected at least 85% of the principal outstanding at the time of acquisition. As such, the sales were considered maturities for purposes of security classification. Proceeds from the sales totaled $9,769, resulting in a net realized loss of $(71) determined by the specific identification method.
Allowance for Credit Losses. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, based on our evaluation of expected credit losses, no allowance for credit losses on any of our HTM securities was deemed necessary.

We were not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements as of March 31, 2024.
Legal Proceedings. We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss for which we could be liable has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. After consultation with legal counsel, management is not aware of any such proceedings where the ultimate liability, if any, could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Additional discussion of other commitments and contingencies is provided in Note 4 - Advances; Note 5 - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; Note 6 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities; Note 7 - Consolidated Obligations; and Note 9 - Capital.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Presentation
This discussion and analysis by management of the Bank's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our 2023 Form 10-K and the interim Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements contained in Item 1. Financial Statements.
Unless otherwise stated, amounts disclosed in this Item are rounded to the nearest million; therefore, dollar amounts of less than one million may not be reflected or, due to rounding, may not appear to agree to the amounts presented in thousands in the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements. Amounts used to calculate dollar and percentage changes are based on numbers in the thousands. Accordingly, calculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.
Executive Summary
Overview. As an FHLBank, we are a regional wholesale bank that serves as a financial intermediary between the capital markets and our members. The Bank is structured as a financial cooperative, which allows our business to be scalable and self-capitalizing without taking undue risks, diminishing capital adequacy or jeopardizing profitability. Therefore, the Bank is generally designed to expand and contract in asset size as the needs of our members and their communities change.
We primarily make secured loans in the form of advances to our members and purchase whole mortgage loans from our members. Additionally, we purchase other investments and provide other financial services to our members.
Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and by issuing capital stock to our members.
Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and investments, including MBS.
Our net interest income is primarily determined by the size of our balance sheet and the spread between the interest rate earned on our assets and the interest rate paid on our share of the consolidated obligations. A substantial portion of net interest income may also be derived from deploying our capital which has no associated interest cost, i.e., interest-free capital. We use funding and hedging strategies to manage the related interest-rate risk.
Due to our cooperative ownership structure and wholesale nature, we typically earn a narrow interest spread. Accordingly, our net income is relatively low compared to our total assets and capital.
In addition, as a cooperative, some members utilize our products more heavily and own more capital stock than others. As a result, we must achieve a balance in generating membership value from rates we charge on advances or prices we pay to purchase mortgage loans and paying a competitive dividend rate.
We group our products and services within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.
Business Environment. The Bank’s financial performance is influenced by several key national economic and market factors, including fiscal and monetary policies, the conditions in the housing markets and the level and volatility of market interest rates.
Economy and Financial Markets. The U.S. economy grew in the first quarter of 2024 as U.S. real gross domestic product, according to the U.S. Commerce Department, grew at a seasonally- and inflation-adjusted annual rate of 1.6%, a pullback from last year’s pace. However, the report indicated that consumer spending was still strong after years of hiring and wage growth. Job gains remained strong and the labor market remained tight as unemployment rates remained near historic lows.
In March 2024, for the third straight month, inflation proved firmer than expected after a cooling in the second half of 2023. The personal-consumption expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, rose in March at an annual rate of 2.6%, according to the Commerce Department. The associated measure of core prices, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 3.7% during the quarter and 2.9% compared to a year earlier.
The resilient consumer continues to spark hopes that the economy will experience a soft landing, where inflation ebbs without causing a recession. However, stalled business development, the ongoing geopolitical instability and the prospect of higher interest rates remaining for a longer time are all potential factors that could have an adverse impact on the economy during 2024.
Conditions in U.S. Housing Markets. The actions by the Federal Reserve to curb inflation by raising interest rates have most directly affected consumers through the housing market. In 2023, home sales dropped to the lowest level in nearly three decades as elevated mortgage interest rates kept many buyers out of the market due to a lack of affordability, which reduced housing demand. At the same time, high mortgage rates discouraged homeowners from selling as many were reluctant to give up their existing low mortgage rates, reducing the available inventory of homes for sale.
The result of lower demand and lower supply was declining existing-home sales and stubbornly high prices. Existing-home sales, which comprise most of the housing market, posted their biggest drop in March 2024 in more than a year, according to the National Association of Realtors ("NAR"). Mortgage rates started to rise again in February, weighing on March sales. Home prices remained near record highs.
Housing affordability, particularly for first-time home buyers, remains an economic burden. The NAR affordability index remained well below historic norms.
Interest Rate Levels and Volatility. The Federal Reserve seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2% over the longer run. In support of these goals, at its meeting on March 20, 2024, the FOMC decided to maintain the target range at 5.25% to 5.50%, repeating that it "does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation (now close to 3%) is moving sustainably toward" the Fed’s 2% goal.
The following table presents certain key interest rates.

The level and volatility of interest rates, including the shape of the yield curve, were affected by several factors, principally efforts by the Federal Reserve beginning in late March 2022 to raise interest rates and tighten monetary policy to combat high inflation.
As the FOMC raised short-term rates, portions of the Treasury yield curve became inverted. The 2-year rate was consistently higher than the 10-year rate. Investors use the 10-year Treasury yield as an indicator of investor confidence. With the rise in the 10-year rate in 2023 and 2024, the yield curve became less inverted.
At its meeting on May 1, 2024, noting that in recent months there has been a lack of further progress toward the Committee’s 2% inflation objective, the FOMC decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 5.25% to 5.50%.
The FOMC stated that "The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals have moved toward better balance over the past year. The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks."
"In considering any adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2%. In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency MBS. Beginning in June, the Committee will slow the pace of decline of its securities holdings by reducing the monthly redemption cap on Treasury securities from $60 billion to $25 billion."
"In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals."
Impact on Operating Results. Lending and investing activity by our member institutions is a key driver for our balance sheet and income growth. Such activity is a function of both prevailing interest rates and economic activity, including local economic factors, particularly relating to the housing and mortgage markets. Positive economic trends tend to increase demand by our members for advances to support their funding needs but can drive market interest rates higher, which can impair activity in the mortgage market. A less active mortgage market can affect demand for advances and activity levels in our Advantage MPP. However, member demand for liquidity, particularly during stressed market conditions, can also lead to advances growth. Borrowing patterns between our insurance company and depository members can differ during various economic and market conditions, thereby easing the potential magnitude of core business fluctuations during business cycles.
The level and trends of market interest rates and and the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve affect our yields and margins on earning assets, including advances, purchased mortgage loans, and our investment portfolio, which contribute to our overall profitability. Additionally, trends in market interest rates drive mortgage origination and prepayment activity, which can lead to net interest margin volatility in our MPP and MBS portfolios. A flat or inverted yield curve, in which the difference between short-term interest rates and long-term interest rates is low, or negative, respectively, may have an unfavorable impact on our net interest margins. A steep yield curve, in which the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates is high, may have a favorable impact on our net interest margins. The level of interest rates also directly affects our earnings on assets funded by our interest-free capital.

The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to higher earnings on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its capital, driven substantially by the increase in market interest rates. However, such increase was substantially offset by net gains on the extinguishment of consolidated obligations in the corresponding period that did not occur in the current period.
The changes in total OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year were substantially due to unrealized gains on AFS securities.

4 Total capital less AOCI plus MRCS.
Total assets at March 31, 2024 were $71.4 billion, a net decrease of $5.2 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in investments.
Advances outstanding at March 31, 2024, at carrying value, totaled $35.3 billion, a net decrease of $265 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2023. The par value of advances outstanding decreased by 0.1% to $35.8 billion, which included a net decrease in short-term advances of 5% and a net increase in long-term advances of 1%. At March 31, 2024, long-term advances composed 74% of advances outstanding, while short-term advances composed 26%. The par value of advances outstanding to depository institutions — comprising commercial banks, savings institutions and credit unions — increased by 1%, while advances outstanding to insurance companies decreased by 2%.
Mortgage loans held for portfolio at March 31, 2024 totaled $8.9 billion, a net increase of $239 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2023, as the Bank's purchases from its members exceeded principal repayments by borrowers. Purchases of mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $418 million.
Liquidity investments at March 31, 2024 totaled $7.0 billion, a net decrease of $5.1 billion, or 42%, from December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of market conditions and the lack of availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates relative to our cost of funds. As a result of this activity, cash and short-term investments represented 92% of the total liquidity investments at March 31, 2024, while U.S. Treasury obligations represented 8%.
Other investment securities, which consist substantially of MBS and U.S. Treasury obligations classified as HTM or AFS, at March 31, 2024 totaled $19.4 billion, a net decrease of $62 million, or 0.3%, from December 31, 2023.
The Bank's consolidated obligations outstanding at March 31, 2024 totaled $65.7 billion, a net decrease of $5.3 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2023, which reflected lower funding needs associated with the net decrease in the Bank's total assets.
Total capital at March 31, 2024 was $4.0 billion, a net increase of $224 million, or 6%, from December 31, 2023. The net increase resulted from the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, issuances of capital stock to support advance activity and growth of retained earnings.
The Bank's regulatory capital-to-assets ratio at March 31, 2024 was 6.03%, which exceeds all applicable regulatory capital requirements.
Outlook. We believe that our financial performance will continue to provide sufficient, risk-adjusted returns for our members across a wide range of business, financial and economic environments.
The ultimate effects of economic and financial markets activity, including fiscal and monetary policies, the strength of the housing markets and the level and volatility of market interest rates, and legislative and regulatory actions continue to evolve and are highly uncertain and, therefore, the future impact on our business is difficult to predict.
Analysis of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $1.0 billion, an increase of $197 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in yields resulting from the increase in market interest rates and an increase in the average balances outstanding of interest-earning assets, primarily MBS and other investment securities.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $887 million, an increase of $171 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in our cost of funds resulting from the increase in market interest rates and an increase in the average balances outstanding of interest-bearing liabilities, substantially CO bonds.
Net Interest Income. As a result, net interest income is our primary source of earnings and is generated from the net interest spread on assets funded by liabilities and the yield on assets funded by interest-free capital. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was substantially due to higher earnings on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its capital, driven substantially by the increase in market interest rates.
For our hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting, the differences between the changes in fair value of the hedged items and the associated derivatives (i.e. hedge ineffectiveness) are recorded in net interest income and resulted in net hedging gains of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net hedging gains of $0.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
Our net gains (losses) on derivatives fluctuate due to volatility in the overall interest-rate environment as we hedge our asset or liability risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly all of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged item. However, there may be instances when we terminate these instruments prior to the maturity, call or put date, which may result in a realized gain or loss. For additional information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Average Balances. The average balances outstanding of interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 2% compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The average balances of MBS and other investment securities increased by 9%, reflecting our goal to maintain investments in MBS near the 300% regulatory limit. The average balances outstanding of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 3% compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The average balances of discount notes decreased by 20%, while the average balances of CO bonds increased by 15%, reflecting a change in the mix of funding. As a result, the average balances of total interest-earning assets, net of interest-bearing liabilities, decreased by 3%.
Yields/Cost of Funds. The average yield on total interest-earning assets, including the impact of hedging gains/losses but excluding certain impacts of trading securities, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 5.55%, an increase of 93 bps compared to the corresponding period in 2023, resulting primarily from increases in market interest rates that led to higher yields on our interest-earning assets. Such increase contributed to the increase in interest income on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its interest-free capital. The average cost of funds of total interest-bearing liabilities, including the impact of hedging gains and losses but excluding certain impacts of trading securities, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 5.20%, an increase of 85 bps due to higher funding costs on all of our interest-bearing liabilities. The net effect was a increase in the overall net interest spread of 8 bps compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

3 Includes swap termination fees received (paid) associated with sales of AFS securities.
4 Generally offsetting interest income on trading securities or interest expense on the associated funding is included in net interest income.
The decrease in total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 was due substantially to net gains on the extinguishment of consolidated obligations in 2023 that did not occur in 2024.

Total other expenses | | | | | | $ | 32 | | | $ | 31 | |
The net increase in total other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 was due to several factors, none of which were significant.
Our voluntary allocations to our AHP or other affordable housing, small business and community investment programs are based on the Bank's commitment to allocate voluntary funding in 2024 equal to 5% of its net earnings for 2023, but the timing of the recognition of such allocations in other expenses can vary due to applicable accounting requirements.
AHP Assessments. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our required AHP expense was $11 million. Our AHP expense fluctuates in accordance with our net earnings.
As a result, the Bank's combined required and voluntary allocation for the three-month period totaled $15 million, an increase of $1 million, or 8%, compared to the corresponding period in 2023.
Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Total OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted substantially of net unrealized gains on AFS securities, compared to net unrealized losses on AFS securities for the corresponding period in 2023. These amounts represent the portion of the changes in fair value that are not attributable to the risks being hedged in fair-value hedge relationships and were primarily impacted by changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility.
Operating Segments
Our products and services are grouped within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.
Traditional. The following table presents the financial performance of our traditional segment ($ amounts in millions).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three Months Ended March 31, |
Traditional | | | | | | 2024 | | 2023 |

Net income | | | | | | $ | 86 | | | $ | 84 | |
The increase in net income for the traditional segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 was primarily due to higher earnings on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its capital, driven substantially by the increase in market interest rates. However, such increase was substantially offset by net gains on the extinguishment of consolidated obligations in 2023 that did not occur in 2024.
Mortgage Loans. The following table presents the financial performance of our mortgage loans segment ($ amounts in millions).

1 Includes accrued interest receivable, premises, software and equipment, derivative assets and other miscellaneous assets.
The mix of our assets at March 31, 2024 changed compared to December 31, 2023 primarily due to the decrease in cash and short-term investments due to market conditions and the lack of availability of short-term investments at attractive rates relative to our cost of funds.
Advances. In general, advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs, primarily determined by their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, loan growth, investment opportunities, available collateral, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding options.
Advances at March 31, 2024 at carrying value totaled $35.3 billion, a net decrease of $265 million, or 0.7%, compared to December 31, 2023. Advances outstanding to our insurance company members slightly decreased due to paydowns by a single member. Otherwise, insurance advances outstanding slightly increased. Advances outstanding to our depository members slightly increased due to higher demand for advances to support their liquidity needs and manage their balance sheets in the current economic environment. The rise in market interest rates has had an adverse impact on depository members' ability to liquidate their investment portfolios and maintain or increase their deposit levels.
Our advances portfolio is well-diversified with advances to commercial banks and savings institutions, credit unions, and insurance companies. As a percent of total advances outstanding at par value, at March 31, 2024, advances to commercial banks and savings institutions were 49% and advances to credit unions were 14%, resulting in total advances to depository institutions of 63%, while advances to insurance companies were 37%.

1 Captive insurance companies that were admitted as FHLBank members prior to September 12, 2014, and did not meet the definition of "insurance company" or fall within another category of institution that is eligible for FHLBank membership under the Final Rule on FHLBank Membership, had their memberships terminated on February 19, 2021. The outstanding advances to one captive insurer are not required to be repaid prior to their various maturity dates in 2024.
2 Other than captive insurance companies.
Our advances portfolio includes fixed- and variable-rate advances, as well as callable or prepayable and putable advances. Prepayable advances may be prepaid on specified dates without incurring repayment or termination fees. All other advances may only be prepaid by the borrower paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, fixed-rate advances included $22.5 billion and $22.0 billion, respectively, that are swapped to effectively create variable-rate advances, consistent with our balance sheet strategies to manage interest-rate risk.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the par value of advances due in one year or less decreased by 5%, while advances due after one year increased by 1%. As a result, advances due in one year or less, as a percentage of the total outstanding at par, totaled 26% at March 31, 2024, a decrease from 27% at December 31, 2023. However, based on the earlier of the redemption or next put date, advances due in one year or less, as a percentage of the total outstanding, at par, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled 39%.

The mix of fixed- vs. variable-rate AFS and HTM securities at March 31, 2024 remained the same from December 31, 2023. However, all of the fixed-rate AFS securities are swapped to effectively create variable-rate securities, consistent with our balance sheet strategies to manage interest-rate risk. All of our variable-rate MBS are indexed to SOFR.
Total Liabilities. Total liabilities at March 31, 2024 were $67.4 billion, a net decrease of $5.5 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2023.
Deposits (Liabilities). Total deposits at March 31, 2024 were $532 million, a net decrease of $96 million, or 15%, from December 31, 2023. These deposits provide a relatively small portion of our funding but can fluctuate from period to period and vary depending upon such factors as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and members' liquidity. The balances of these accounts are uninsured.
Consolidated Obligations. The overall balance of our consolidated obligations fluctuates in relation to our total assets. The carrying value of consolidated obligations outstanding at March 31, 2024 totaled $65.7 billion, a net decrease of $5.3 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2023, which reflected lower funding needs associated with the net decrease in the Bank's total assets.
The following table presents a breakdown by term of our consolidated obligations outstanding ($ amounts in millions).

| | | | | | | | |
Total consolidated obligations | | $ | 67,287 | | | 100 | % | | $ | 72,564 | | | 100 | % |
The mix of our funding changed from December 31, 2023 as discount notes outstanding decreased, consistent with the decrease in short-term investments. We continue to seek to maintain a sufficient liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and financial liabilities.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, callable CO bonds were 59% and 72%, respectively, of total CO bonds outstanding.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 79% and 82%, respectively, of our fixed-rate CO bonds were swapped using derivative instruments to effectively create variable-rate CO bonds, consistent with our balance sheet strategies to manage interest-rate risk. All of our variable-rate CO bonds outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were indexed to SOFR.
Derivatives. The volume of derivative hedges is often expressed in terms of notional amounts, which is the amount upon which interest payments are calculated. The following table presents the notional amounts by type of hedged item regardless of whether it is in a qualifying hedge relationship ($ amounts in millions).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The cumulative gains on AFS securities resulted from our strategy of terminating certain interest-rate swaps associated with certain MBS and entering into hedging relationships with new interest-rate swaps in connection with our London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) transition. The net cumulative fair-value hedging gains on AFS securities includes losses on the terminated swaps that are being amortized into earnings as interest expense over the life of the original swap, but are generally being offset by the lower interest expense on the new swaps.
Total Capital. Total capital at March 31, 2024 was $4.0 billion, a net increase of $224 million, or 6%, from December 31, 2023. The net increase resulted from the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, issuances of capital stock to support advance activity and growth of retained earnings.
The following table presents a percentage breakdown of the components of GAAP capital.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Components | | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Capital stock | | 59 | % | | 61 | % |
Retained earnings | | 40 | % | | 41 | % |
AOCI | | 1 | % | | (2) | % |
Total GAAP capital | | 100 | % | | 100 | % |
The changes in the components of GAAP capital at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 were primarily due to an increase in AOCI.
The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP capital to regulatory capital ($ amounts in millions).

Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of liquid assets, comprised of cash, short-term investments, and trading securities, as well as the issuance of consolidated obligations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations totaled $195.8 billion.
Changes in Cash Flow. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $373 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $(96) million. The net increase in cash provided of $469 million was substantially due to the fluctuation in variation margin payments on cleared derivatives. Such payments are treated by the Clearinghouses as daily settled contracts.
Capital Resources
Total Regulatory Capital Stock. The following table provides a breakdown of our outstanding capital stock and MRCS by type of member ($ amounts in millions).

| | | | |
Excess stock as a percentage of regulatory capital stock | | 31 | % | | 29 | % |
The net increase in required capital stock and total regulatory capital stock was due to issuances of capital stock to support disbursements of advances during the three-month period. However, as a result of paydowns of advances during the period, a portion of required stock was automatically reclassified to excess stock in accordance with our capital plan.
On April 25, 2024, the Bank announced that it will repurchase, on a voluntary basis and for a limited time, up to $100 million in par value of excess Class B-1 capital stock from its current members no sooner than May 13, 2024.
Capital Distributions. The total amount of the dividend to be paid is based on the declared dividend rate for each sub-series of Class B capital stock and the average number of shares of each sub-series held by members during the dividend payment period (applicable quarter). The following table summarizes our weighted-average dividend rate and dividend payout ratio.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | | | | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Weighted-average dividend rate1 | | | | | | 7.41 | % | | 4.84 | % |
Dividend payout ratio2 | | | | | | 46.58 | % | | 27.55 | % |
1 Dividends paid in cash during the period (annualized) divided by the average amount of Class B stock eligible for dividends under our capital plan, including MRCS, for that same period.
2 Dividends paid in cash during the period divided by net income for that same period.
On April 25, 2024, our board of directors declared a cash dividend on Class B-2 activity-based stock at an annualized rate of 9.50% and on Class B-1 non-activity-based stock at an annualized rate of 4.50%, resulting in a spread between the rates of 5.00 percentage points. The overall weighted-average annualized rate paid on capital stock, including MRCS, was 7.87%. The dividends were paid in cash on April 26, 2024.
Adequacy of Capital. We must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operational risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. The following table presents our risk-based capital requirement in relation to our permanent capital at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 ($ amounts in millions).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Risk-Based Capital Components | | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Credit risk | | $ | 169 | | | $ | 211 | |
Market risk | | 689 | | | 771 | |
Operational risk | | 258 | | | 295 | |
| | | | |
Total risk-based capital requirement | | $ | 1,116 | | | $ | 1,277 | |
| | | | |
Permanent capital | | $ | 4,307 | | | $ | 4,186 | |
| | | | |
Permanent capital as a percentage of required risk-based capital | | 386 | % | | 328 | % |
The decrease in our total risk-based capital requirement was primarily caused by a decrease in the market risk component due to changes in the market environment, including changes in interest rates, CO-swap basis, volatility and option-adjusted spreads, and balance sheet composition. The operational risk component is calculated as 30% of the credit and market risk components. Our permanent capital at March 31, 2024 remained well in excess of our total risk-based capital requirement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
A full discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments
Accounting Developments. For a description of how recent accounting developments may impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance.
Legislative and Regulatory Developments. The following is a summary of significant regulatory actions and developments for the period covered by this report that have not been previously disclosed.
Finance Agency’s Review and Analysis of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. On November 7, 2023, the Finance Agency issued a written report titled "FHLBank System at 100: Focusing on the Future," presenting its review and analysis of the FHLBank System and the actions and recommendations that it plans to pursue in service of its vision for the future of the FHLBank System. The report focused on four broad themes: (i) the mission of the FHLBank System; (ii) the FHLBank System as a stable and reliable source of liquidity; (iii) housing and community development; and (iv) FHLBank System operational efficiency, structure, and governance. The Finance Agency expects to continue a multi-year, collaborative effort with the FHLBanks, their member institutions, and other stakeholders to address the recommended actions in the report and has stated that it can implement some of the recommendations from the report through ongoing supervision, guidance, or rulemaking, as well as through statutory changes by proposing specific requests for Congressional action.
In April 2024, the Finance Agency provided an update on its plan to implement the report’s recommendations and announced key priorities for 2024. Among others, these priorities include (i) clarifying the FHLBank System mission; (ii) aligning eligibility requirements for different types of FHLBank members; and (iii) streamlining requirements related to the AHP. The Finance Agency stated that it would maintain transparency and continue robust stakeholder engagement during the implementation process, including seeking input on FHLBank mission achievement and members’ connection to housing and community development.
The Bank continues to monitor the Finance Agency’s efforts to implement the recommendations from the report, and we are not able to predict what actions will ultimately result, the timing or extent of any actions or changes, or the ultimate effect on the Bank or the FHLBank System in the future. We plan to continue to engage with the Finance Agency and other stakeholders in an effort to ensure that the FHLBank System remains well positioned to serve our members and their communities. For a further discussion of the report and related risks, see, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Legislative and Regulatory Developments and Item 1A. Risk Factors - Business Risk - Legislative and Regulatory - Changes in the Legislative and Regulatory Environment for FHLBanks, Our Members, Our Debt Underwriters and Investors, or Other Housing GSEs May Adversely Affect Our Business, Demand for Products, the Cost of Debt Issuance, and the Value of FHLBank Membership of the Bank’s 2023 Form 10-K.
Finance Agency Final Rule on Fair Lending, Fair Housing, and Equitable Housing Finance Plans. On April 29, 2024, the Finance Agency released its final rule that specifies requirements related to FHLBanks’ compliance with fair housing and fair lending laws and related regulations, including the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and prohibitions on unfair or deceptive acts or practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act. The final rule (i) addresses the enforcement authority of the Finance Agency; (ii) articulates standards related to the board of directors' oversight of fair housing, fair lending, and principles of equitable housing; and (iii) requires each FHLBank to annually report actions it voluntarily takes to address barriers to sustainable housing opportunities for underserved communities ("Equitable Housing Report Requirements"). The final rule will become effective 60 days after the date it is published in the Federal Register, except that the Equitable Housing Report Requirements will become effective on February 15, 2026. We continue to review the final rule and evaluate its impact on our operations.
Risk Management
We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Market risk is discussed in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. For additional information, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management. We face credit risk on advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants.
Advances and Other Credit Products.
Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of advances in a few borrowers. As of March 31, 2024, our top borrower held 12% of total advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 35% of total advances outstanding, at par. Because of this concentration in advances, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we regularly analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers. The following table presents the par value of advances outstanding to our largest borrowers ($ amounts in millions). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Trading Securities. Our liquidity portfolio includes shorter-term U.S. Treasury obligations, which are direct obligations of the U.S. government and are classified as trading securities.
Other Investment Securities. Our long-term investments include MBS guaranteed by the housing GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), other U.S. obligations - guaranteed MBS (Ginnie Mae), longer-term U.S. Treasury obligations, and debentures issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the TVA and the Federal Farm Credit Banks.
A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total amount of our investments in MBS, calculated using amortized historical cost excluding the impact of certain derivatives adjustments, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. If our outstanding investments in MBS exceed the limitation at any time, but were in compliance at the time we purchased the investments, we would not be considered out of compliance with the regulation, but we would not be permitted to purchase additional investments in MBS until these outstanding investments were within the limitation. Generally, our goal is to maintain investments in MBS near the 300% regulatory limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream. At March 31, 2024, these investments totaled 293% of total regulatory capital.
The following table presents the carrying values of our investments, excluding accrued interest, grouped by credit rating and investment category. Applicable rating levels are determined using the lowest relevant long-term rating from S&P and Moody's, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Rating modifiers are ignored when determining the applicable rating level for a given counterparty. Amounts reported do not reflect any subsequent changes in ratings, outlook, or watch status ($ amounts in millions).

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Measuring Market Risks
To evaluate market risk, we utilize multiple risk measurements, including Value-at-Risk, duration of equity, convexity, changes in MVE, duration gap, and earnings at risk. Periodically, we conduct stress tests to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.
Key Metrics. The following table presents certain market and interest-rate metrics under different interest-rate scenarios ($ amounts in millions).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 |
Key Metric | | Down 200 | | Down 100 | | Base | | Up 100 | | Up 200 |
MVE | | $ | 4,322 | | $ | 4,303 | | $ | 4,265 | | $ | 4,211 | | $ | 4,145 |
Percent change in MVE from base | | 1.3 | % | | 0.9 | % | | — | % | | (1.3) | % | | (2.8) | % |
MVE/book value of equity | | 99.7 | % | | 99.3 | % | | 98.4 | % | | 97.1 | % | | 95.6 | % |
Duration of equity | | 0.2 | | | 0.7 | | | 1.1 | | | 1.5 | | | 1.7 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2023 |
Key Metric | | Down 200 | | Down 100 | | Base | | Up 100 | | Up 200 |
MVE | | $ | 4,134 | | $ | 4,153 | | $ | 4,143 | | $ | 4,108 | | $ | 4,055 |
Percent change in MVE from base | | (0.2) | % | | 0.3 | % | | — | % | | (0.8) | % | | (2.1) | % |
MVE/book value of equity | | 100.5 | % | | 101.0 | % | | 100.7 | % | | 99.9 | % | | 98.6 | % |
Duration of equity | | (0.9) | | (0.1) | | 0.5 | | 1.1 | | 1.4 |
The changes in these key metrics from December 31, 2023 resulted primarily from the change in market value of the Bank's assets and liabilities in response to changes in the market environment, changes in portfolio composition and our hedging strategies.
Duration Gap. The base case duration gap at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 0.04% and 0.00% , respectively.
For additional information about our use of derivative hedges, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Use of Derivative Hedges in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of March 31, 2024, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (the principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Additionally, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
